After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

The man smiled with satisfaction: "Xiahou Yu, that bastard, has a woman of such beauty, and is of noble birth. At the age of sixteen, he was called the best swordsman in the world, and he is also the heir of the family. Now he has obtained the jade slip. What an enviable life."

He withdrew his hand and said in a grim tone: "Unfortunately, your life is about to end."

Xia Nian listened to his words, not knowing whether he was talking to herself, Xia Houyu, or both of them.

The man waved his hand: "You guys go down."

"Yes, Sir Liang."

The door was closed, and the man pressed Xia Nian's acupoints. Xia Nian coughed violently a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

The man in front of me had half of his face twisted, with wrinkled skin and flesh. Unlike the fair skin next to him, his face was blood red, like newly grown skin after an injury. He had no eyebrows, only one pupil in his eye, half of his nose was destroyed, and half of his lips were almost gone.

And his normal side of the face can be considered handsome.

"Awake?" the man asked, "Your name is Xia Nian, right? My last name is Liang, and my given name is Qiu Zhu."

Xia Nian glanced around. The house was not big, with weeds growing on the ground. It seemed abandoned, making the table next to it and the cushion under him look a little out of place.

"I have no grudge against you, why are you arresting me?" Xia Nian asked coldly.

Liang Qiuzhu laughed loudly, "No grudges or hatred? Ah, indeed, you and I have no grudges or hatred, but the person you married has a huge grudge against me!"

Xia Nian supported himself on the cushion with both hands and said, "What grudge? He never mentioned you."

Liang Qiuzhu looked at her. This ghostly face looked even more terrifying under the dim candlelight. After a while, he said slowly, "Of course he has forgotten me. A few years ago, he brought people to raid my home. Overnight, my Zhao family became a sea of ​​blood! My parents and my grandfather, who was nearly 70 years old, had their heads hung on the city wall for seven days and seven nights!"

"I happened to be out studying at the time. When I came back, I saw their heads and knew that he had sent people to look for me. From then on, I had to change my last name. I made this face myself so that I would not forget the hatred!"

Xia Nian frowned and said, "Why don't you tell me what your family did wrong and why it was raided?"

Liang Qiuzhu sneered, "Which official doesn't take bribes? How dare Xiahou Yu say he doesn't? My grandfather just refuted him a few times during the meeting, and he held a grudge and killed more than a hundred people in my Zhao family!"

Xia Nian bit her lip. This man had always lived in hatred and didn't care about right or wrong at all.

Her chin was suddenly grabbed, forcing her to raise her head high to look him in the eye.

Liang Qiuzhu stroked her cheek with his other hand and said, "I heard that you were a dancer before? How did Xiahou Yu take a fancy to you without a family background? Was it just because of your face?"

Xia Nian's mind was working rapidly. She absolutely could not anger this man. She didn't know his purpose in arresting her yet, and she could not use Xia Hou Yu's power to intimidate him. He would most likely take out his anger on her.

"Of course not. You know who Xiahou Yu is. If he marries me, he can get rid of those noble families' marriage proposals. Their wives are dancers, and they will definitely not let their daughters be concubines." Xia Nian said, "I was just used by him. You capturing me will not pose a threat to him."

Liang Qiuzhu took back her hand and said with a smile: "It is really as Miss Qin said, you are just being used."

So this is what Qin Hanlin told him, Xia Nian thought. She might be afraid that this person was afraid of Xia Houyu and therefore would not dare to attack her.

Or maybe it was because Qin Hanlin wanted this person to think that if she died, Xiahou Yu would definitely marry her.

"Then there's no point in you arresting me." Xia Nian said.

Liang Qiuzhu smiled and said, "Why is it useless? Get rid of you and let Miss Qin marry him. The person next to him is the easiest to attack. When Xiahou Yu dies, Miss Qin will become a widow, and I can use her to gain control of the Xiahou family."

Xia Nian's pupils trembled slightly. This person said so much to her, he was determined to kill her.

"I can also help you. As long as you let me go, I will kill Xiahou Yu as you said." Xia Nian gritted his teeth.

Liang Qiuzhu stared at her for a while, then suddenly moved forward and completely trapped Xia Nian in his arms.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Just because I want to live."

Liang Qiuzhu reached out and touched her slender neck.

Xia Nian continued: "If it was me, don't you think it would be very hurtful to Xia Houyu? He used me, but I ended up hurting him."

Liang Qiuzhu smiled and said, "But I have already promised Miss Qin, how can I break my promise? Of course, I won't kill you for the time being, as long as you serve me well."

He grabbed Xia Nian's shoulders and sat up together.

Xia Nian said, "Don't you mind that Xia Houyu and I had a relationship?"

Liang Qiuzhu said: "So what?"

After saying that, he went to pull Xia Nian's belt.

Xia Nian hurriedly grabbed his hand and lowered her head.

"how?"

Xia Nian looked up at him with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"I want to go to the bathroom..."

Liang Qiuzhu paused, looking inquiringly, as if trying to find her flaw.

Xia Nian lowered his eyes and said, "You won't even give me this little time, right? I don't know martial arts, and my body is very weak."

Liang Qiuzhu pulled his hand back and shouted, "Someone come!"

The door was opened, and a thin man stood outside: "What do you want, Lord Liang?"

"Take her to the toilet."

"Yes."

Xia Nian stood up and followed the thin man.

When he got outside, Xia Nian kept his eyes on the terrain.

This house should be a palace with many floors. They were on the second floor. The middle was hollow and they could see the moon above. There was a large round platform below with strange patterns carved in the middle.

Xia Nian suddenly remembered that this should be the palace used by the Xijiang tribe for sacrifices that Xiahou Yu had mentioned before!

This means that she is not too far away from Qinglong City and she can still escape back!

The man suddenly stopped and pointed to a house: "Go ahead."

Xia Nian walked in and looked up to see a window in front of him.

She just noticed that there was no one around. They must have gone to rest, but she was not sure whether there was an entrance downstairs.

If she found an opportunity to kill the man, she might be able to escape through this window, but it would be very risky.

Without giving her time to think, Xia Nian quickly made up her mind.

She took off the hairpin, hid it in her sleeve, opened the door and went out.

When the man saw that she was fine, he took her back without saying anything.

Xia Nian followed behind him and suddenly said, "Wait, I want to..."

"Why are you——"

He turned his head and spoke, but before he could finish his words, the hairpin pierced his throat.

The sharp hairpin pierced his throat, killing him instantly.

Xia Nian hurriedly supported him, stuffed his mouth with the cloth that wrapped his hair, and took off the dagger from his waist.

After making sure the man was dead, Xia Nian ran in to check the height of the window.

It was not clear, but the distance was not short. If she jumped directly, she would definitely get hurt and alert the people inside. Xia Nian did not hesitate at all and turned around to find another way.

When she came here just now, she noticed that there was a staircase in front of her, but she didn't know if she would meet anyone.

She ran over quickly, her steps light and quick. If she didn't hurry up, Liang Qiuzhu would definitely notice her.

There was no light in the stairs, so she could only grope her way forward. Just as she reached the corner, footsteps suddenly sounded below.

Xia Nian immediately held his breath and pressed against the wall.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by the man's mumbling and a smell of alcohol.

One step, two steps, the man walked to the corner. He never expected that outside the darkness, Xia Nian was holding a dagger, waiting for him to slowly approach.

The man was stabbed in the neck by Xia Nian.

Xia Nian caught his falling body in time, put him against the wall, and rushed down.

There was indeed a door here, and it was wide open. The man must have forgotten to close it when he came back just now.

Xia Nian could feel her own heartbeat right next to her ears. She ran out, but she couldn't take the mountain road. If they found her, they would catch up with her quickly. She could only run to the woods.

It is an autumn night now, and there are fewer flying insects and running animals. Since this place is used as a place for sacrifice, I guess there are no ferocious beasts.

Xia Nian had only taken a few steps into the woods when he heard Liang Qiuzhu's roar: "Everyone, get up and chase them!"

It was very dark in the forest. Xia Nian was worried about being discovered, but he didn't dare to slow down. He tripped over a branch and rolled down the slope.

There was a bush below. Xia Nian's head was hit. He gritted his teeth and cut his palm with a dagger to wake himself up. With the last bit of his willpower, he hid in the concave place at the back.

She felt a pain at the back of her head and pressed the wound on her hand. There was no sound of footsteps above and her eyelids closed uncontrollably.
