Suddenly, Shen Changle lost his strength and slid off the table.

His aching arms hung limply.

Jiang Ci'an no longer cared about anything else.

He took a step forward and took her in his arms.

"You are hurt!"

Besides feeling heartbroken, there was even more resentment in his eyes.

He was too careless and let Yang Xiaocui sneak in!

He stood up holding Shen Changle and wanted to bandage her.

But she grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Jiang Ci'an, if you kill her, the boss won't let you go. Come with me!"

Jiang Ci'an swallowed and his brows darkened.

go……

where to go?

Go back to Qi Palace with her?

He is not Zhu Jiuxing, he cannot...

"Let me bandage you first."

Put her on the bed.

She took off her wedding dress, revealing her fair shoulders and arms.

Jiang Ci'an's face flushed slightly.

But he forced himself not to look too much and not to think too much.

Focus on helping her wipe the blood and apply medicine on the wound.

Seeing her in tears and trembling with pain.

His heart also tightened and hurt a lot.

He blew gently as if coaxing a child.

Even more gentle than the action of applying medicine to Wang Xiao.

The voice was also full of concern.

"to beat."

"Um……"

She spoke in a hoarse voice and nodded slightly.

He gritted his teeth and turned his head away.

He looked like he was trying his best to endure it.

Under a painful expression that makes people feel distressed.

It is the exposed fragrant neck.

Clearly defined collarbones and small, graceful shoulders.

Arms as soft as boneless.

only……

The once flawless skin now had a horrifying wound...

He stared at the flesh that was turned outward, sighed softly, and felt very guilty.

For such a fragile girl, the pain would be doubled if it were on her...

It's all his fault!

I failed to protect her and caused her to get hurt...

He carefully bandaged her and clumsily tied a bow.

He helped her get dressed, feeling hesitant.

Killed Yang Xiaocui...

There is no place for him to stay in Wohu Mountain.

But returning to the Qi Palace with her, betraying my country and living off her...

He can't.

But I can't let such a fragile girl wander around with me!

Thinking about it...

He gritted his teeth.

Although I am reluctant, but...

"I'll take you back to Beijing."

deliver?

Sending means...

Doesn't he want to stay?

"Jiang Ci'an, we agreed! After we swore homage to heaven and earth, we'll be real husband and wife... You can't abandon me!"

Jiang Ci'an heard her say this.

He frowned in embarrassment.

"I……"

How could he just abandon her?

But he...

Forget it...

Now is not the time to talk about this.

He hesitated and said:

"It's not a good time to stay here for a long time, let's go first."

He glanced at Yang Xiaocui's corpse, whose eyes were open in death.

He took out a cloak from the closet.

Wrapped around Shen Changle's body.

"let's go."

He took her hand, avoiding the lights, and came to the secret passage in the back mountain.

He pushed aside the weeds and jumped into the dark corridor first.

Reach out to her.

Shen Changle did not hesitate too much.

I always feel safe where he is.

He held her hand and walked through the long secret passage.

The palms of my hands are not as cold as before.

Warm and caring.

however……

The exit of the secret passage, which should have been bathed in bright moonlight, was now filled with blinding fire.

Jiang Ci, who was in front, stopped.

He held her hand tightly.

Hesitantly took half a step back.

Then I heard the big boss's teasing voice:

"Second brother, why don't you come out? What are you waiting for?"

Why is he here?

Hearing his confident voice, Shen Changle couldn't help but wonder...

Could it be that it was his intention for Yang Xiaocui to kill her?

Had he already made this plan?

Let them get married.

Then take the opportunity to kill her and Jiang Ci'an!

In this way, even if the emperor finds out about Wohu Mountain...

He could also say that it was Jiang Ci'an who was attracted by her beauty and forced her to marry him!

She would rather die than obey and died on her wedding night.

As the leader of the Shanzhai, he had already punished Jiang Ci'an, who had broken the rules, by breaking the gang rules...

in this way.

Not only did he legitimately get rid of the second-in-command who was more popular among his brothers;

It also provides a reasonable explanation for her being kidnapped and taken to the mountain...

After all, I was tricked!

hateful.

Shen Changle lowered his eyes and quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Jiang Ci'an narrowed his eyes and frowned.

Holding her hand.

He suddenly turned around and walked back with her.

Come to a hidden box and open the lid.

A door popped up on the wall of the secret passage not far away.

He took her to the door and gave her a tinder.

Whisper:

"Hide well, I'll come back for you."

"Jiang Cian!"

Knowing it's a dead end...

She held his arm, not wanting him to go.

He raised his hand with rare tenderness and touched her hair.

"I won't die."

"Will you kill him?"

Killing the boss is the only way to survive!

only!

But he hesitated.

"He, has done me a favor..."

She knew it!

"But now he is being unkind. If you don't kill him, he will kill you!"

He was silent.

The fragments of light in his eyes condensed, flashing with a light that came from nowhere.

Suddenly he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard.

He let her go reluctantly, his voice filled with reluctance.

"protect yourself."

"Jiang Cian!"

See him turn and leave.

She quickly caught up with him and hugged his lower back.

"Kill him, please!"

She could feel him stiffen.

But he didn't speak.

He just gently pried her hands apart.

Pushed her into the dark secret room.

Turn around and move forward.

Never said a word...

Re-cover the wooden box.

He watched the stone door slowly fall.

thought.

This is the secret room he and his men carved out.

The boss didn't know.

Even if he really died today, facing her missing...

I hope Jiuxing can also think of this...

Take a deep breath.

Turned around and left the secret passage.

Outside the secret passage, the boss was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, drinking in a high-profile manner.

Standing behind him were several of his close associates.

"On the second brother's wedding night, he escaped through a secret passage... What kind of fetish is this?"

"Don't ask any more questions, sir."

He knelt on the ground with his fists clasped, and pleaded guilty.

"I killed Yang Xiaocui, I accept the punishment."

"Accept the punishment?"

The boss lowered his legs and kicked him hard on the shoulder.

"She's my biological sister! You think you can just let it go by saying you accept the punishment?"

Jiang Ci'an groaned in pain.

He held onto his shoulders and tried to get up.

But he was pushed back to where he was.

His face was dark, he knelt on one knee and looked up at him.

"She assassinated Changle. Did the boss already know I would kill her?"

The boss no longer concealed it.

Let out a snort of laughter.

"So what? The brothers will know. You're the only one who killed her! According to gang rules, anyone who kills a brother without reason must be buried alive!!"

Jiang Ci'an stared at him, hesitant.

Shen Changle's cries and requests echoed in his ears over and over again.

"Kill him... Please... Don't die..."

How to do?

Without her...

He's dead, so he's dead.

But now...

He is a family man...

If she died like this, given her personality, she would definitely feel guilty...

I'll probably cry...

Want to resist?

Kill him?

Can……

He felt guilty for killing the whole family and leaving a fool alive.

But if he is not killed, what will happen to Shen Changle?

The people behind the boss are already digging a hole.

At this moment, another confidant came to report.

"Boss! The woman's body was not found in the house!"

Jiang Ci'an suddenly raised his head.

The big boss also looked over hesitantly and cursed.

"You couldn't kill her? Useless thing..."

He raised his hand to stop the person digging a hole behind him.

He slowly squatted in front of Jiang Ci'an with a vicious look in his eyes.

She lifted his chin and spoke frivolously.

"Second brother, where did you hide her? Tell me, and I can forgive my sister's death, and you will suffer less."

Jiang Ci'an looked at him.

He spat:

"Humph, you're going to use your own sister to your advantage, will you let me go?"

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished! Take him away, I'll interrogate him personally!"

He glanced at the person who reported the news behind him.

"Tell someone to keep a close watch on his room, don't let anyone in, and keep the news secret."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ci'an was dragged up.

But I miss you in my heart...

If the news is blocked, when will Zhu Jiuxing notice something is wrong and come to find her?
