The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

After saying that, Nie Guizhou glanced at Xu Yi with ill intent.

Xu Yi naturally did not miss his gaze. However, he did not say anything, because he had thought the same thing just now.

Shen Qingyan looked at Xu Yi.

Receiving his gaze, Xu Yi nodded slightly at him.

Seeing Xu Yi agreed, Shen Qingyan looked at Nie Shufeng again.

Nie Shufeng looked back and forth between Kuzhu and Xu Yi for a few times before finally nodding: "Okay, listen to my Zhou'er."

After getting his consent, Xu Yi didn't delay for a moment, reached out and grabbed Nie Guizhou by the back of the neck and lifted him up from the ground.

Nie Guizhou couldn't stand being criticized like this again and again.

Damn it, he thought he was a kitten or a puppy and picked him up whenever he wanted.

He kicked his legs and yelled, "Who told you to carry me like this? Put me down quickly and carry me over."

Nie Shufeng felt sorry for his son, so he naturally followed Nie Guizhou's instructions. He hurriedly asked Xu Yi to do what his son said.

Xu Yi had no choice but to let go and carry him on his back instead.

Nie Guizhou had been defeated by Xu Yi before, and now that he had the chance, he was not willing to let Xu Yi off easily.

As soon as he got on Xu Yi's back, he used his arms to tightly strangle Xu Yi's neck, and said very proudly: "You were very powerful before, so now you are in my hands again, huh?"

Xu Yi did not react at all to Nie Guizhou's pride.

Because he knew that Nie Guizhou's pride would not last long.

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes to look at his ankle, then walked more naturally so as not to give Nie Shufeng any chance to notice anything.

Seeing his son coming to his side, Nie Shufeng breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still had to face Shen Qingyan and the many soldiers behind him, and the relief he had just felt was immediately lifted again.

"Nie Shufeng, your son has been returned to you. Can you please let him go?"

Shen Qingyan waited for a while, and seeing that Nie Shufeng had no intention of letting him go, he hurriedly reminded him loudly.

Unexpectedly, Nie Shufeng looked at Shen Qingyan with a smug smile, and said slowly: "Sir Shen, I didn't say I would release him immediately."

As soon as Nie Shufeng finished speaking, Nie Guizhou laughed triumphantly.

Compared to his pride, Xu Yi was much calmer, and there wasn't even a hint of surprise on his face.

As for Qiao Xi, who was under Nie Shufeng's knife, she could no longer hold back and rolled her eyes towards the sky.

Please, do these people have any brains? They just gave Nie Shufeng another hostage so easily.

Can't they just hand over the money, or rather, the person, at the same time?

"Nie Shufeng, you don't keep your word! If you dare to hurt them, I will make sure you have the consequences."

Shen Qingyan realized that he had been tricked by Nie Shufeng, and his face immediately turned red with anger. Perhaps because he was so angry, he even ignored the dignity of a third-rank official of the court and started yelling at Nie Shufeng.

"Sir, please don't get excited. Don't worry, I'm here with you. They can't escape. I doubt I'll spare the lives of such untrustworthy people. To avoid letting the tiger go back to the mountain, I think it's best to order them to be shot here and there."

The person who spoke was none other than Kuzhu who was beside Shen Qingyan.

As he spoke, he drew the sword in his arms, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost instantly burst out.

But as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Shen Qingyan.

"No, I swore an oath when I took office that I would never watch innocent people die tragically." After saying this, he looked at Nie Shufeng again and compromised, "Nie Shufeng, what do you want in exchange for releasing them?"

This is what Nie Shufeng was waiting for.

As soon as Shen Qingyan finished speaking, he raised his voice and replied, "Simple. Once we, father and son, reach a safe place, we will naturally release them. However, your men cannot follow. If I discover that your men are following, I will kill one of them immediately."

After saying that, Nie Shufeng gestured at Qiao Xi's neck with the knife.

The knife was already touching her skin, and with this movement, Qiao Xi instantly felt a pain in her neck.

"Woo!"

Without any defense, she cried out in pain.

Hearing her cry of pain, Xu Yi hurriedly looked up.

Since he was carrying Nie Guizhou on his back and was very close to Nie Shufeng and Qiao Xi, he could naturally see the condition of Qiao Xi's neck clearly.

I saw blood slowly oozing out of her fair neck, and soon a small red spot appeared on her neck, but that red was extremely glaring to Xu Yi.

Perhaps it was because of the red color that stimulated him, but the dark color in his eyes became even darker than before.

But it was only for a moment, and then everything returned to normal.

Shen Qingyan seemed frightened by his actions and said in panic, "Nie Shufeng, don't do anything rash. I will obey you."

After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to make way.

Nie Shufeng didn't expect him to agree so readily, and he was stunned for a moment.

But he was only stunned for a moment, then he took Qiao Xi hostage and ordered Xu Yi to carry Nie Guizhou into the mountains.

*

Kuzhu kept staring at them until their figures disappeared at the foot of the mountain, and then he put away the sword in his hand.

"Liuguang, come out."

Shen Qingyan looked at the direction they disappeared and whispered an order.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out from behind the prison van. It was none other than Shen Liuguang.

"grown ups!"

Shen Liuguang bowed respectfully towards Shen Qingyan.

"Well, have you finished everything you asked me to do?"

Shen Qingyan asked without even turning his head.

"Yes, sir, I have done as you commanded."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan nodded: "That's good. Kuzhu, take the people you picked earlier and follow quietly. Remember, it doesn't matter if you are far away, but you can't let Nie Shufeng and his people find out."

"Yes!"

Kuzhu took the order and left.

Soon, Kuzhu led a group of people to the foot of the mountain.

"Sir, are they really alright? That Nie Shufeng won't go back on his word once he enters the mountains, right?"

Shen Liuguang knew that his master had always been good at planning and strategizing, but when he thought about Nie Shufeng's personality, he was still a little uncertain.

If those two people died at the hands of Nie Shufeng, not only would his master's reputation be ruined, but he would also lose the student he had finally taken a fancy to. He would probably be very sad.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, two melon drops hit his forehead.

He couldn't help but cover his head and looked at his parents in confusion.

Shen Qingyan said unhappily, "Do you think Nie Shufeng is as simple-minded as you? Although he just told me not to let my people follow, he knew in his heart that my people would definitely follow.

Therefore, he would not kill them without ensuring their safety. Besides, do you think Xu Yi would just sit there and wait for death?"

"But isn't his sister-in-law in Nie Shufeng's hands? Xu Yi is also under someone's control at the moment. What else can he do? Could it be that—"

Suddenly, Shen Liuguang's eyes lit up, thinking that his master and Xu Yi had stayed in the carriage for a long time before coming out. Could it be that they had some other plans?

At this moment, Shen Qingyan glanced over and made Shen Liuguang shut up immediately.

He snorted coldly, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, seeming very satisfied: "This time, Nie Shufeng probably won't even know how he died."
