Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Xiao Jian looked at the stubborn mysterious man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Do you really think those so-called people who would avenge you would risk their lives for you? Now that you've been captured, they'll be running away as fast as they can."

The mysterious man glared at him angrily: "Don't try to sow discord! They are loyal to me and will definitely come to my rescue!"

Yongqi couldn't help but sneer, "Loyal? Look at your current situation. Where are they? They've probably all fled for their lives long ago."

The mysterious man gritted his teeth, "What do you know! The loyalty and righteousness of the Shadow Cult are beyond your comprehension."

Erkang stepped forward and sneered, "Loyalty? In the face of life and death, that so-called loyalty is utterly worthless. You know in your heart that they won't risk their lives for a failure like you."

The mysterious man was silent for a moment, then shouted, "Even if they don't come, I won't reveal a single word. Don't expect to get any clues from me!"

Xiao Jian said unhurriedly, "Do you think the Shadow Cult can continue to exist if you don't speak? We already have a lot of clues, and we can take them down one by one even without you. It's just that by cooperating now, you can buy yourself some opportunities."

"Opportunity? Your court will give me an opportunity? Don't dream about it!" the mysterious man sneered.

Yongqi said sternly, "If you tell the truth and tell everything you know, the Emperor might be lenient and punish you lightly. Otherwise, death is the only thing waiting for you."

A flicker of hesitation crossed the mysterious man's eyes, but he quickly hardened his expression: "I don't believe it! You people of the imperial court have never kept your word."

Erkang patiently persuaded, "This time is different. Think about it, if you remain stubborn and say nothing, you'll end up with your head separated from your body. Is it worth it? But if you speak up, at least there's still a glimmer of hope."

The mysterious man remained silent, lost in thought.

Xiao Jian pressed his advantage: "You must have your own ambitions and ideas within the Shadow Cult. But now, the Shadow Cult is doomed, and no matter how much you insist, it will be of no use. Why not cooperate with us? It would be a good idea to consider your own future."

"Hmph, if I cooperate, can you really guarantee my safety?" the mysterious man finally spoke, his tone tinged with doubt.

Yongqi immediately said, "We guarantee with our integrity that as long as you cooperate, we will plead with the Emperor to ensure your safety."

The mysterious man raised his head, looking at Xiao Jian, Yong Qi, and Er Kang with scrutiny in his eyes: "How do I know if you're lying to me?"

Xiao Jian looked at him firmly: "We have no reason to lie to you. You are a prisoner now, and we have the strength to deal with you. The reason we are telling you all this is that we hope you can recognize the situation and give yourself a chance."

The mysterious man remained hesitant: "I need to think about it."

Er Kang said anxiously, "You don't have much time to think about it. Opportunities are fleeting, and once you miss them, it will be too late to regret it."

Yongqi also advised, "Yes, you shouldn't hold onto any more illusions. Making a decision sooner rather than later is better for both of us."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly, staring at the mysterious man: "If you continue to resist, we have ways to make you talk. But by then, you will have lost the opportunity to take the initiative to fight for a lighter sentence."

The mysterious man took a deep breath and slowly said, "I want to see the Emperor. I will only confess if I hear with my own ears that the Emperor will spare my life."

Xiao Jian pondered for a moment, "Alright, I can report to the Emperor. But you must understand, this is your last chance."

The mysterious man nodded silently: "I know. I only hope that His Majesty will keep his promise."

Will this psychological warfare tactic succeed? Will the Emperor grant the mysterious man's demands? What secrets does the mysterious man still hold? All these uncertainties unfold in this unpredictable dialogue, creating suspense...
