You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

There was a bottomless abyss below. Her hands were tied with ropes and hung on the branches of an ancient tree on the edge of the cliff.

The wound caused by his sword opened up, revealing the pink flesh inside. The thick blood dyed the entire arm red, and the petite body was shaking.

Xiao Yun looked at the scene in front of him, and for some reason, his heart almost jumped into his throat. His throat seemed to be strangled by something, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

The knuckles of his hands, which were placed on the armrest, turned white from excessive force.

"Brother Ying, save Yiyi..."

Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed not to have seen her, Liu Yiyi finally couldn't help but speak.

She had just received the news that Xiao Yan was coming, so she hurriedly asked those people to tie her up and hang her on another branch.

The wind was howling, as if the devil below was calling. The cold air swept through her body, and Liu Yiyi felt a little regretful.

She should have let those people hold a knife to her neck and threaten her, but she didn't dare to take the risk.

She knew that Xiao Ying was in love with Lin Zhaoyue and wanted Xiao Ying to make a decision. Only when facing death would he not waver.

Hearing Liu Yiyi's voice, Xiao Yan's dark eyes looked at her frightened and pitiful face.

Although she was hanging, her situation was much better than Lin Zhaoyue's.

However, Liu Yiyi has a heart disease and if it flares up, she could die at any time.

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said comfortingly:

"Don't be afraid, Yiyi. I will save you."

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Liu Yiyi looked at Lin Zhaoyue provocatively.

Lin Zhaoyue, you must be in pain now!

You will feel more pain later.

Lin Zhaoyue met Liu Yiyi's provocative look with no expression.

She had known for a long time that Xiao Yan would save Liu Yiyi. Even if she said at this moment that this matter was planned by Liu Yiyi, he would not believe it.

"Yiyi believes in Brother Ying."

When Xiao Yan retracted his gaze, he glanced at the silent Lin Zhaoyue, and looked at the man holding a long knife and a rope with his dark eyes, and said coldly:

"condition."

The man with a full mouth looked at Xiao Yan sitting in the wheelchair, smiled and said:

"Didn't the prince receive the letter we sent over?"

Xiao Yan didn't receive any letters. The news from the Linking Pavilion was that those people had returned to the royal hunting grounds, so he rushed over.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man, and said:

"No, so what are your conditions?"

They have great ambitions to be able to kidnap the second daughter of Duke Lin, the future Crown Princess.

Liu Yiyi was still crying, her pretty face was covered in tears and looked pale:

"Brother Ying, Yiyi's chest hurts so much, I can't breathe..."

Liu Yiyi used the recurrence of her heart disease to gain Xiao Ying's sympathy and guilt, and let Xiao Ying save her.

After all, she got her heart disease in order to "save" him.

As long as she pretended to be in pain from a relapse of her heart disease, he would always feel distressed and blame himself.

This trick works repeatedly.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan looked at her distressedly after hearing this, and said to the kidnapper in front of him:

"Put her down first, otherwise we won't discuss the terms."

The kidnappers looked at each other, as if they were afraid that Xiao Yun would ignore the situation, so they really lifted Liu Yiyi up, leaving only Lin Zhaoyue still hanging on the cliff.

Before being lifted up, Liu Yiyi said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Lin Zhaoyue, did you see that? Brother Ying chose me! How does it feel to be abandoned by the person you love the most? Does it hurt?"

"You'll never be as good as me."

Lin Zhaoyue sneered, but the smile was chilling.

She looked at Xiao Yan, with more and more sarcasm in her eyes.

Meeting Lin Zhaoyue's gaze, Xiao Yan felt inexplicably uncomfortable and irritated. Looking at her pitiful figure on the cliff, he said:

"Put her down too."

At this point, the kidnapper finally lost his patience:

"Prince, we can only release them if we agree on the terms! Otherwise, I will take both of them away."

As the kidnapper spoke, he placed the big knife in his hand directly on Liu Yiyi's neck.

Liu Yiyi's fair neck immediately turned red. Xiao Yan's heart tightened and he said:

"What do you want?"

"I want the defense maps of the capital and the eastern border. One map in exchange for one person."

Deployment map?

Xiao Yan tightened his grip on the armrest:

"What a big appetite!"

The man with a full beard smiled and said:

"Are you going to change it or not? If not, I will let these two little beauties be buried with me."

As he spoke, one of them placed the blade in his hand on the rope and slowly sharpened it, and the wound on Liu Yiyi's neck became deeper and deeper.

Liu Yiyi's delicate face was full of fear and tears. She cried and said:

"Brother Ying, you should let them kill Yiyi! Yiyi is a worthless person, and her death is not a pity, but the defense map cannot be handed over..."

A defense map for one person?

This must be Liu Yiyi’s real purpose!

What does she want to do with the defense map?

Xiao Yan loved Liu Yiyi terribly. In his previous life, he could have killed all nine clans of the Lin family for her. He might even have given her the defense map.

However, Xiao Yun was the crown prince of a country, and the lives of the Lin family were insignificant compared to the lives of the people of Anguo.

He should be able to distinguish what is important and what is not, and not be so confused.

Liu Yiyi said with tears in her eyes, as if she remembered something, and suddenly looked at Lin Zhaoyue:

"Sister Yue, you are the one who hired these robbers, right?"

"Yiyi's background is not well-known, and she has never offended anyone in the capital. Yiyi really doesn't know who wants to kidnap Yiyi, except that Sister Yue has been targeting Yiyi from time to time these days."

"Sister Yue, are you afraid that Yiyi will snatch Brother Ying away? But love cannot be forced. Brother Ying and I grew up together. If there is any injustice, it should be Yiyi who is wronged. Sister Yue suddenly appeared and became Brother Ying's Crown Princess."

"No... No!"

Liu Yiyi became excited:

"Since these kidnappers were called by Sister Yue, and your Lin family wants to set up a defense map, are you planning to rebel?"

"Brother Ying, the defense map cannot..."

Liu Yiyi was very emotional. Halfway through her speech, she suddenly became breathless as if she had a heart attack.

She covered her chest tightly, her face pale.

"You ignorant woman, shut up, you have no right to speak here."

The kidnapper with a confused face said this, and grabbed Liu Yiyi's hair. He stabbed deeper with the knife, and Liu Yiyi's neck was covered in blood.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi was as fragile as a porcelain bottle and could break at any time.

Xiao Yan tightened his grip on the armrest and said with difficulty:

"I'll give you the defense map of the capital, and you let her go."

"Who are you replacing?"

Xiao Yan paused for a while before saying:

"I will change Liu Yiyi."

It was an obviously pleasant sound, but it made Lin Zhaoyue dizzy and her ears buzzed, and she could not hear anything.

He would really do anything for Liu Yiyi!

A defense map of the capital city in exchange for a woman.

Xiao Yan!

Not worthy of being a prince!

The peace of Anguo was won by the lives of many soldiers. If the defense map fell into the hands of the bad guys, it would be a bloody storm...

The wet and sticky blood flowed down her arms into her neck. The pulsation of the carotid artery gradually became weaker, and Lin Zhaoyue began to breathe in more than exhale.

"Okay, I'll give you the map in one hand and the person in the other."

"I didn't bring the map with me. I'll send someone to get it now."

"I will let him go only after I get the picture."

Xiao Yan took out Liu Yiyi's heart palpitation medicine from his sleeve pocket and said:

"Okay, but Yiyi is not in good health. Let her take the medicine first. If she dies, none of you will survive."

The kidnapper thought for a while and asked the smallest man to come and get the medicine.

After Liu Yiyi took two pills, she felt much better.

After taking the medicine, Liu Yiyi was still crying:

"Brother Ying, Yiyi is not worth it. It would be better for Yiyi to die. The defense map must not be handed over to outsiders..."

"It's just a picture. I gave it to you. Nothing can compare to Yiyi."

It’s just a picture, so I’ll just give it to you.

Lin Zhaoyue wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

Whether in the previous life or this life, Lin Zhaoyue knew that Liu Yiyi deeply loved Xiao Yan.

And Xiao Yan also deeply loves Liu Yiyi.

You can tell how much he loves Liu Yiyi from the fact that he came to save her in person even though he was seriously injured.

But now, she truly felt that Xiao Yan's love for Liu Yiyi had surpassed everything and had no bottom line.

No wonder in his previous life, when he said that the entire Lin family would be executed, so the entire family would be executed. It was just the Lin family, with just over a hundred lives, how could it be as important as his Liu Yiyi!
