"Miss, the general was unaware for a moment, so..."
The well-dressed man who had captured Zhao earlier ran downstairs in fear and apologized in a low voice.
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Long Wu's cold gaze and immediately knelt down and said: "Please punish me, Miss!"
Zuo Xianmei was a little distracted because of Zhao's death. When she heard this, she immediately came back to her senses and looked at the man with a complicated expression, because she had not yet decided how to deal with this man.
Logically speaking, this man should have been severely punished because he accidentally let Zhao kill herself and ruined her plan.
But this man was not afraid of danger. He was the first to rush into the small building and capture Zhao, which was a meritorious service.
Although the merit is not enough to offset the sin, the sin is not worthy of death.
But when she saw Zhao's generous death, she felt a murderous intention in her heart.
Now that he saw this man, his murderous intention became even stronger.
It turns out that although Zuo Xianmei always looked down on men, she actually hated those women even more.
She hated those women who didn't love themselves and were willing to become the playthings of those men who looked upright but were actually weak and timid.
Therefore, although she received the news that Zhao was committed to Li Chengdong in order to persuade Li Chengdong to be loyal to the court, she did not take it seriously. ..
She felt that Zhao had behaved like a fierce woman before, just to survive.
Because if Mrs. Zhao was really a martyr, she should have died after Xie Sheng's death. There was no way she could have been encouraged by Yan Ermei to marry Li Chengdong and embarrass a woman.
Therefore, she believed that Mr. Zhao was a cowardly person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
The so-called enduring humiliation for the sake of righteousness is just a fig leaf to cover up the watery nature.
It was with this understanding that she consciously grasped the weaknesses of Li Chengdong and Zhao, and decided on this plan.
She believed that as long as she threatened Ms. Zhao at the critical moment, Ms. Zhao would definitely cry.
But Li Chengdong was under pressure and felt sorry for the beauty, so he surrendered to her.
Therefore, when she saw Mr. Zhao shaking his head with tears, she felt more convinced, and at the same time she felt even more contempt for Mr. Zhao.
But she didn't expect that she was wrong. Mrs. Zhao was really a loyal and loyal woman, a chaste woman who could endure humiliation.
In particular, before Zhao died, she still told Li Chengdong to be a loyal minister, which made her regretful and even self-blame.
Her regret and self-blame were not because she was moved by Zhao's loyalty.
Rather, she felt that because of her negligence, she destroyed a hero who could strengthen himself and love himself, who could devote himself to his beliefs, and who could make all women proud.
Therefore, she was full of murderous intent towards that well-dressed man.
Even though she knew it was inappropriate, she wanted to do it and felt she had to do it.
"Miss, please forgive me once, I will definitely..."
Seeing Zuo Xianmei's silence, the well-dressed man hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
Hearing this, Zuo Xianmei said calmly: "You bravely broke into Uncle Xinyi's mansion and captured the Zhao family for the county lord. It is indeed a meritorious service..."
As she spoke, she took another look at the well-dressed man. When she saw the man's body trembling slightly, she felt a burst of contempt in her heart, and continued: "This county master rewards you with ten taels of gold."
"As for your children, Uncle Long will take good care of them, don't worry!"
When the well-dressed man heard this, his body trembled sharply, and he couldn't help but look at Long Wu.
Long Wu saw the other party's eyes and thought that this well-dressed man had accompanied him through life and death many times. He felt a little unbearable. He wanted to ask for mercy, but he saw Zuo Xianmei just staring at Li Chengdong and not looking at him.
So he withdrew his gaze and nodded helplessly to the well-dressed man.
A look of despair flashed in the eyes of the well-dressed man, and then he collapsed on the ground.
"Quick, catch them!"
At this time, Yan Ermei led a group of soldiers into the small building and surrounded Zuo Xianmei and others.
It turned out that Yan Ermei was only separated from the small building by a wall. When he heard Li Chengdong's roar, he knew that an accident had occurred. He hurriedly summoned his soldiers and rushed over with the soldiers in the courtyard.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was already dead, she was very angry and stared at Zuo Xianmei and the others fiercely.
Seeing this, Zuo Xianmei sneered: "What? You killed Mrs. Zhao, do you still want to kill someone to silence her?"
As soon as she said this, Li Chengdong, who was crying secretly, immediately raised his head and looked at Zuo and Yan with red eyes, like a beast that chooses people to devour.
Yan Ermei was shocked when she heard this, and immediately saw Li Chengdong's expression was different, and immediately shouted loudly: "You poisonous woman, you killed Mrs. Zhao, and you are still talking nonsense here. I will cut you into pieces today to pay homage to Mrs. Zhao." The fragrant soul."
After he finished speaking, he motioned to the soldiers to take action.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
At this time, a few sharp arrows were shot from the darkness, killing the soldiers at the front.
When the other soldiers saw this, they couldn't help but stop and retreat quietly.
Zuo Xianmei glanced at the soldiers with disdain, then looked at Yan Ermei and said, "Why are you so anxious to take action? Is it because you are afraid that the county master will expose your conspiracy?"
Although Yan Ermei was a little panicked, she still said calmly: "Vicious woman, don't try to sow discord here."
"Uncle Xinyi is so wise, how could he fall into your trap of having a daughter? Moreover, Mrs. Zhao's heroic spirit is not far away, so she will not let you, a poisonous woman, go."
"So I advise you to save some energy and sincerely confess to Mrs. Zhao's soul. Maybe Uncle Xinyi will let you die a quick death. Otherwise, even if you have a bright tongue today, you will not be able to escape the punishment of being cut into pieces."
As he spoke, he winked at the soldiers.
Upon seeing this, several soldiers stepped forward and were immediately pierced by sharp arrows in the chest, scaring the others back again and again.
Zuo Xianmei smiled sweetly, then looked at Li Chengdong and said, "Uncle Xinyi, do you know how Yan Ermei persuaded your wife?"
Hearing this, Li Chengdong hugged Ms. Zhao affectionately and stood up slowly.
He first glanced at Zuo Xianmei, then turned his gaze to Yan Ermei, paused for a while, and growled like a wounded beast: "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of swords upstairs.
Immediately afterwards, six or seven well-dressed strong men jumped out of the hiding place, and then a dozen soldiers wearing silver and soft armor came out.
When Zuo Xianmei saw this, she was slightly startled, and then smiled and said: "I heard that although Uncle Xinyi's army is not large in number, it is one against a hundred. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see it today... "
Li Chengdong ignored Zuo Xianmei and just growled: "Don't let anyone go!"
After he said that, he hugged Ms. Zhao and moved forward slowly.
Yan Ermei frowned when she saw this and knew that Li Chengdong wanted him to confront Zuo Xianmei.
When Zuo Xianmei heard this, she was also a little surprised.
Although she knew that Li Chengdong loved Zhao, she didn't expect that he loved her so deeply.
He did not hesitate to offend Zuo Liangyu for the sake of a dead Zhao family.
After Zuo Xianmei was surprised, she smiled sweetly and said, "Li Chengdong, do you think you can keep the county leader with just these people?"
When Li Chengdong heard this, he did not look back, but still walked forward slowly, and at the same time said in a low voice: "You can try it!"
At this time, a group of well-armored soldiers suddenly rushed in.
When Li Chengdong saw this, he couldn't help but stop and stared coldly at Cao Hu, who was smiling.
