The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

Yun Shang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this legendary Lord Yu was actually quite smart. He was worthy of being Zhao Qiyan's right-hand man, and he shared the same decisiveness and ruthlessness as Zhao Qiyan.

But it would be better if he could take her life into consideration.

Yu Wenxuan directly exposed the true identities of these people, causing the man who was holding Yun Shang hostage to become desperate and directly draw his knife and put it on Yun Shang's neck.

The man simply stopped pretending and said, "Yu Wenxuan, as long as you release the thirty people in the prison, I will let her go. This is the Princess of Qi, you have to think carefully."

Yu Wenxuan's expression was calm. "The Princess of Qi sacrificed her life for her country and died a heroic death. She can be posthumously honored."

"There are many noble ladies in the capital. It's not a big deal to just change someone to be the princess."

Yun Shang widened her eyes and said, "No, I think I can still save him."

Yu Wenxuan didn't care about Yun Shang and Qing Huan's life or death, which obviously exceeded the man's expectations. He looked gloomily at the imperial guards who were surrounding them but not moving forward. "Yu Wenxuan, provoking her won't work on us. If you really don't care about her life or death, why don't you send someone to attack immediately?"

After a long moment, Yu Wenxuan sighed, "Thirty is too many. This is impossible. I can only give you five at most."

"Twenty, or I'll break one of her legs."

"Six."

"twenty!"

"Seven."

Yu Wenxuan added the numbers one by one slowly and calmly, but the man insisted on adding at least twenty and refused to give in.

When the number reached eight, Yun Shang felt a pain in her knees and fell to her knees. The man's knife was pressing on her ankles, and blood had seeped out of her shoes and socks.

"I said twenty, not one less."

Yu Wenxuan's expression finally turned cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "Nine!"

The man raised his long knife and was about to chop him down. In desperation, Yun Shang took out a hidden dagger and stabbed the man behind her in the thigh.

The man felt pain and there was a small gap in front of him. At this moment, an arrow flew from the roof of the government office and pierced the man's chest, killing him instantly.

The long sword fell weakly from the man's hand and hit Yun Shang's calf.

The accident happened at this moment. With the death of the man, the imperial guards rushed forward to capture the others.

Yu Wenxuan stepped forward and helped Yun Shang up. "Princess, how are you? Can you still walk?"

Yun Shang gritted her teeth and said, "Thanks to Master Yu, luckily, it's still intact."

Yu Wenxuan helped her stand up and said, "This humble official is only acting as a temporary measure. Please forgive me, Princess."

Yun Shang was about to say something else when suddenly, "Boom, boom!"

Several loud explosions were heard from the northwest corner of the government office. Yu Wenxuan's expression suddenly changed. He dropped Yun Shang and ran northwest. "Hurry, everyone! There's an explosion in the prison. Someone is trying to rob the prisoners."

Yun Shang and Qing Huan survived the disaster and were thrown into an empty yard.

Qinghuan supported Yunshang, "Miss, I'm so scared, how is your leg? Is it serious? Let's go sit down inside and rest. I'll bandage it for you first."

Yun Shang shook her head. "It's just a little skin breakage. Qinghuan, quickly, help me get to the prison. I want to go over there and take a look."

In front of the prison gate, looking at the gate that had been blown open and the prison guards lying at the door, Yu Wenxuan clenched his fists and asked the subordinate beside him, "How many people did they kidnap?"

The subordinate replied, "Eighteen people."

Yun Shang was shocked when she saw the dead jailers lying all over the ground. Has the conflict between the time traveler and the dynasty reached this point?

After killing each other to this extent, she couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.

"The time traveler has a series of schemes today. First, he assassinated the prince on the pedestrian street, and then he took me hostage to the Forbidden Time Travel Department. Both of these things are to divert the troops and attract your attention."

"Their real back-up plan is here, to rescue the prisoners."

Yun Shang walked forward and analyzed today's events with Yu Wenxuan. "But, are they making such a big fuss, and going to such great lengths, really just for thirty people?"

"Master Yu, would you take such a big risk for the lives of thirty guards?"

Yu Wenxuan shook his head, "Of course not."

Yun Shang nodded, "I guess so. Lord Yu didn't even care about my life for the mission, let alone thirty guards."

"What if it's for the prince's life? How much risk can Lord Yu take?"

Yu Wenxuan did not hesitate, "Thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, including my own life, of course, I will spare no effort."

"I understand what the princess means, but it's too late to say anything now."

"Even if we know now that there is an important person among these thirty people, it is too late. The important person must have been rescued."

The prison was in a mess, and the guards were escorting the prisoners who had failed to escape out.

Yun Shang looked at them one by one. She didn't understand. They were all Chinese. Why did the time travelers have to make such a fuss with the Yu people?

Suddenly, a man with a limp caught Yun Shang's attention.

The man's clothes were torn and covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had been tortured.

But the others were clean and were not tortured much.

Yun Shang pointed at the man curiously, "Master Yu, why was only that person punished so severely? Why weren't the others punished?"

Yu Wenxuan looked at the man with a rather unhappy expression. "He brought this upon himself. Ever since he was arrested, the others have been quiet, but neither have they caused any trouble. Only this man has been constantly provoking. He'll only behave himself for a few days after a beating."

Who would volunteer to be beaten?

Unless he wants to die.

Yun Shang walked forward. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was a woman. Her appearance here was indeed very eye-catching, and many people looked at her.

But the man just glanced at her, then sat on the ground with a limp, allowing the guards behind him to beat and scold him.

"stop."

Seeing that the man disobeyed orders and sat on the ground motionless, the guard was about to whip him, but Yun Shang spoke up in time to stop him.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Yun Shang bent down slightly, looked into the man's eyes, smiled, and said, "Since you want to die, why don't you consider committing suicide?"

The man's eyes were calm, as if he was answering what he had eaten today, very naturally.

"I can't get out by committing suicide. I live here, not to die."

Yun Shang's heart was shocked, and she said calmly: "It's very simple to live, it just depends on whether you are willing to speak up."

The man finally looked her in the eye. "Who are you? Princess Qin Yao?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "No."

"Oh, that's right. This is the territory of King Qi. How could Qin Yao possibly get in?"

The man nodded and continued, "If I speak, King Cheng can't protect me, so I can't say it."

Yun Shang was silent for a moment. "What if it's the King of Qi? Do you think he can protect you?"

The man stared at her for a long moment, then shook his head. "The King of Qi has no women under his command, let alone time travelers. Who are you?"
