When Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong arrived at the location stated on the letter, they found a small dilapidated temple, with very few people around.
Madam Xie and Xie Cheng were tied to two large trees in the run-down temple.
Xie Qingrong frowned, and said to Xuanyuan Chen in a low voice: "General Xie seems to still have a baby son, why is there no trace of him?"
Xuanyuan Chen held onto Xie Qingrong's fingertips, and comforted: "Don't be anxious for now, in case you mess up your own hands and feet."
Just as he finished speaking, a group of black-clothed men immediately came out of the rundown temple, surrounding Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Cheng tightly. There were also black-clothed men holding onto their throats with sabers on Lady Xie and Xie Cheng's side.
A man and a woman walked out of the encirclement.
The man leisurely entered the encirclement with one arm around the woman's waist.
After they clearly saw their faces, they were shocked to see that they were Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu.
Back then, Xuanyuan Jing had been kidnapped from the execution grounds, and he had fled the night before he was forced into a corner.
It seemed that Xuanyuan Jing had already predicted that he wouldn't be able to force his palace to go too smoothly, so he let Ye Ningyu escape from the capital long ago, and then colluded with Wu Huan!
Xuanyuan Chen was not surprised to see Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu. With a slight raise of his handsome brow, he said, "No wonder the words on the letter this king sent are so familiar. So it's actually Second Imperial Brother."
Xuanyuan Jing glared coldly at Xuanyuan Chen and laughed coldly: "There is no second royal brother here. Heavenly Sage Kingdom's second prince had already died at the instant of her death."
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Chen asked in reply: "Just what benefits did Wu Huan grant you, to actually cause the once indifferent and proud King Jing Lord to willingly leave his home and work for him."
Just as Xuanyuan Jing was about to reply, he saw Ye Ningyu pinching her waist. Xuanyuan Jing was not angry, but instead, looked at Ye Ningyu gently.
Ye Ningyu puffed her belly up for around four to five months, and said indifferently: "What benefits did Wu Huan promise my husband, it's my husband's matter, it has nothing to do with Prince Chen. However, I am truly impressed by the courage of Prince Chen and his courage. You actually dared to charge here alone, are the two of you certain that you can save General Xie's wife and children? Or are you certain that you will be able to return unharmed? "
Xie Qingrong frowned, a trace of interest appearing in her eyes, she never expected that Ye Ningyu's mind would be so much more nimble than before, with just a few words, she quietly changed the topic, it was interesting.
He faintly smiled, but the coldness between his brows did not fade as he smiled and said, "How have you been, Madam Xuanyuan? It's been three days since we last met. The current you cannot be underestimated. "
A flash of killing intent appeared in Ye Ningyu's eyes. If it wasn't for Xie Qingrong forcing her to marry Xuanyuan Jing, she wouldn't have left her hometown and come to such a bitter cold place.
If not for the New Year, which supported him in getting rid of Xie Qingrong, he would not have been in his current state.
"Princess Consort Chen's mouth is still sharp." Ye Ningyu ridiculed.
"In terms of sharpness, how can he compare to Lady Xuanyuan?" Xie Qingrong taunted without restraint, and then changed the topic and revealed his true purpose for the day: "Tell me, how can I let go of I's stepmother and little brother."
"If you want to let go of Princess Consort Chen's stepmother and brother, it's very simple. If you kneel down and kowtow three times to me, I'll let them go." Ye Ningyu said.
To this day, she still resented Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen very much. If she could get Xie Qingrong to kowtow to her three times, that would be a very satisfying thing!
Xuanyuan Chen's eyes darkened and anger welled up in his heart. He said with a smile that was not a smile: "This king's consort kowtowed three times to you, I'm afraid you can't take it."
Ye Ningyu clenched her fists tightly, and glared fiercely at the handsome man who had spoken. He was her wish in the past, and now that he had finally gotten rid of his obsession, his emotions had been easily aroused.
Xuanyuan Jing hugged Ye Ningyu's waist, and knew that Ye Ningyu already had signs of getting angry, and even though Ye Ningyu's personality had already diminished greatly in the past few days, she still could not perfectly restrain herself when facing Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong.
Xiao Yun smiled, "Ning Yu was once the big sister of the Princess Consort Chen, how can she not accept it?"
"Heh." Xie Qingrong sneered, and said coldly: "King Jing previously said that he had died in the arena, and the current you is no longer the you of the past. Then why did you still use your original identity to pressure others? Could the King Jing have amnesia? "
When Xie Qingrong said "King Jing", she was obviously mocking Xuanyuan Jing. This time, it was Xuanyuan Jing's turn to be angry, but he endured it.
He specially kidnapped Xie Jing's wife and children not to engage in a useless battle of words with Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong.
Laughing lightly, he said, "Prince Chen and the little gongzi are quite good at delaying troops. But even if you save Madam Xie and the little gongzi, what can you do? The little gongzi of General Xie is still in our hands. "
Sure enough, Xie Qingrong had long guessed that the reason Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu had so brazenly and unrestrainedly appeared in front of him, was probably because they had some other trump card up their sleeves.
If Yuan Yuan remained in their hands, then Xuanyuan Chen and himself would have to be threatened and controlled by them at all times!
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Ye Ningyu and Xuanyuan Jing could clearly see the killing intent in Xie Qingrong's eyes, but they were still afraid. After all, when they had dealt with the corruption in the past together, they had seen Xie Qingrong filled with bloodlust and killing intent.
The two of them hurriedly left the encirclement.
Xie Qingrong glanced at Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Ningyu in disdain.
Xuanyuan Jing stood outside the encirclement and spoke loudly: "I can release Madam Xie and Young Master Xie, but I will still need to keep him here for a while longer. As for Prince Chen and the Princess Consort Chen, they will have to accompany Young Master Xie. I wonder what you think? "
Although it was a discussion tone, but the meaning behind his words was clear to tell Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, that it was not a discussion.
Xuanyuan Jing knew that his men could not stop Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong at all, but he could still threaten them with his chips!
Xuanyuan Chen grabbed Xie Qingrong's finger and nodded at him.
Xie Qingrong smiled back at him and held Xuanyuan Chen's hand back.
"This King needs to personally see Lady Xie and Young Master Xie leave. Moreover, This King needs to see Young Master Xie's figure before This King can agree to your request." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, with an unquestionable expression in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Jing thought about it for a while and agreed to let Madame Xie and Young Master Xie go. However, he sent two of his subordinates to send them back.
After all, Xuanyuan Chen had always been very cunning, making it hard for people to fathom his true thoughts.
Not to mention, he was cunning in every way.
