Chapter 372 I'll Spare Your Life!

had been dropping hints and clues all along, and she was just now catching on"I have a bad temper, I'm not good at martial arts, I'm bad at everything. I'm stupid and clumsy, what do you like about m..."You are audacious!" Mu Huan did not expect this scoundrel to force her to dance again. If it were in the past, she would have taken his head long ago!

"Sorry, Your Highness, we got carried away today!" Lü Kai wasn't scared at all. Anyway, King Liang had told him to just guard this place and hadn't said anything about how he shouldn't treat the people here. Now that he was in charge here, of course, he was the one who called the shots!

Mu Huan inadvertently saw that Xiao Yuge's position had been left untouched. The cup of tea seemed undisturbed, and she realized that Xiao Yuge hadn't been feeling well these past few days due to her monthly period. She didn't like drinking tea, which meant that Xiao Yuge hadn't taken the soft tendon powder and could still perform martial arts.

Thinking about this, she was sure Xiao Yuge had already escaped and would definitely find a way to save them. She suddenly felt confident.

Although Xiao Yufu was afraid, she still forced herself to remain calm: "I tell you, it's best not to touch this county lord. You should know that this county lord is close friends with His Royal Highness, Prince Liang. If you dare to be rude to this county lord, His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, will definitely kill you!"

"Hey! I didn't expect the delicate Guoan County Princess to be so sharp-tongued. I know you are the favorite of King Liang, rest assured, I won't harm you. I just want you to dance for everyone to relieve their boredom. If you don't want to, it's fine, no pressure. At that time, I'll just say that you ran off to spread the word. My brothers couldn't help but take action against you because they had no other choice. What do you think, at that time, will King Liang believe you or me"Lu Kai knew that King Liang was infatuated with Xiao Yu Fu, but he also knew that in King Liang's heart, the throne was always more important.

"You!" Xiao Yufu was so angry that her face turned red.

"Oh, angry Beautiful women are truly beautiful; even their anger has a certain charm. My patience is limited. I'll count to three. If Princess and the Lady haven't come to the middle by then, I won't be so polite. Rest assured, I won't harm you, but I didn't say I wouldn't harm those around you..." His hawk-like eyes slowly swept over An Ling and her attendants, leaving An Ling trembling with fear.

"You dare!" Mu Huan gritted her teeth, so angry that even her eyes turned red.

Lu Kai let out a cold snort, his thin lips curling up slightly: "One!"

A wave of tension gripped the crowd.

Lu Kai's playful eyes slowly swept across the faces of the crowd, and he slowly uttered: "Two!"

Everyone's hearts subconsciously rose to their throats. Everyone knew how cold-blooded Lu Kai was in front of them; perhaps the next second, someone would meet the same fate as that Miss Miao'er!

"Three..."

"Be quiet!"

Right as Lu Kai was about to finish reading the three words, Mu Huan stood up. She proudly lifted her head and walked step by step towards the center.

"Princess!" said Xi Gonggong, wanting to step forward and grab her.

"It's alright, Sir Xi. Don't worry." Mu Huan squeezed his hand secretly.

Xiao Yufu clenched her hands, but she didn't stand up. An Ling beside her was already trembling with fright. She pleaded with her mistress, her eyes filled with fear. She was terrified, afraid that she would end up like the palace maid, beheaded in the next moment.

“It seems the princess is a smart one. Is Lady Jun intending to sacrifice those around her” Lu Kai looked at Xiao Yufu again, his eyes filled with amusement.

"The county princess..." An Ling was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

"Very well, then I shall fulfill the County Princess's wish!" Lu Kai's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of his hand, he signaled to his subordinates to deal with An Ling.

"Hold on!"

At that moment, Xiao Yufu slowly stood up and glanced at An Ling, who was just now paralyzed with fright but now filled with gratitude, though still trembling with fear: "I'll jump!" Then she took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the center.

She swore that the humiliation she suffered here today, she would definitely get back tenfold someday!

Lu Kai saw the two beauties standing together, his eyes twinkling, seeming extremely pleased. He raised his hand and shouted, "Play music!"

Those musicians who had been so frightened that they lost their souls just now gradually came to their senses. They quickly and skillfully played the music again. They were just ordinary people and didn't want to be involved in palace intrigues. They just wanted to live a good life.

Xiao Yu Fu herself had no martial arts, so those softening powders didn't have much effect on her. But Mu Huan wasn't so lucky. The softening powders prevented her from using her inner strength. Every time she jumped, her feet felt like they were stepping on blades, the piercing pain making her whole body tremble slightly. But for the sake of the people around her, she had to grit her teeth and just pray that all of this would pass quickly.

Meanwhile, something happened on the bamboo grove side as well.

With her staff injury just right, Zhang Yan led people to surround the bamboo forest. After holding back for so long, her resentment finally had a release. She roared from inside the room: "Qian Yi'an, come out and die!"

In a moment, Lianxin gently pushed Qian Yi'an out. Seeing himself surrounded, he remained calm.

"What do you want to do" Qian Yi narrowed her phoenix eyes, looking at the arrogant Zhang Yan before her with a calm expression.

Zhang Yan let out a cold snort, strode forward slowly, the triumph on her face almost bursting out: "Qian Yi'an, hand over the wolf cavalry's token, and I can spare you for our once nominal marital relationship. You'll die a whole corpse!"

Lately, she's been enduring it for a thousand years. She's had enough! If not for her aunt's promise, that once this is done, she will definitely be granted the title of noble concubine, she wouldn't have married Qian Yi'an, this cripple!

"You finally did it." Yet Qian Yi'an remained unfazed, his indifferent gaze swept across Zhang Yan's face as if everything was within his expectations.

"If it weren't for today, this old woman wouldn't have married you cripple! Be smart and hand over the Wolf Riders' insignia right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"The token is in my grasp, but whether you have the ability to take it away is another matter!" Qian Yi'an took out the token, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips, as if everything was under his control.

Zhang Yan saw the token, her eyes lit up instantly. She remembered her aunt's words and thought to herself: as long as she could get the Wolf Rider Army's token, the position of the imperial consort would be hers for sure.

At this point, the sky had grown completely dark. Screams of battle echoed through the air, reaching a deafening crescendo. Blazes shot high into the night, indicating that war had indeed broken out. The rain continued to fall heavily, as if weeping for this carnage.

Zhang Yan had witnessed Lian Xin's martial arts skills and was wary. With a wave of her hand, she signaled to the guards nearby: "Go take their tokens, then kill them!"

"Yes!"

Those guards, upon receiving the order, marched step by step towards Qian Yi'an and his servants, while Lianxin made a protective gesture, standing in front of Qian Yi'an.

"Hold her down, I'll go and take the token myself!" Zhang Yan signaled a few people to step forward and restrain Lianxin, while she herself walked towards Qian Yi'an. In her eyes, Qian Yi'an was just a cripple, how could he possibly fight her This would be a perfect opportunity for her to vent all the anger she had been holding in her heart these past few days.esitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, taking the dagger to slash his finger, dropping blood separately into the two bowls.Xiao Yufu, eager to know the result, couldn't wait. She pricke...
