She resented other people's touch, lowered her head and bit his wrist until the smell of blood came out. Zhou Luli frowned, enduring the sting.
Until Shen Dingzhu let go, she spat blood, and her red lips became more beautiful because of the blood.
"I will never be with you even if I die!"
The dark hatred and disgust in her eyes were so cold and stinging.
Zhou Luli's face gradually turned pale, so he stopped talking nonsense, took out a dagger, grabbed the end of Shen Dingzhu's hair, and cut off a section of hair.
"If you don't want to write a letter, I can only give him this piece of hair. I hope he really loves you and recognizes it as your black hair."
After Zhou Luli finished speaking, he turned around and left, and ordered the jailer to keep an eye on her.
Shen Dingzhu's hands were tied and he could not move.
She hoped countless times in her heart that Xiao Langyan would never come.
On the third day after the severed hair was taken away, Zhou Luli sent someone to take Shen Dingzhu out of the prison. They blindfolded her and did not know which house they had placed her in.
After the veil was removed from Shen Dingzhu's eyes, she only knew that she was locked in a clean room with four maids to serve her. The ropes on her hands and feet were untied. The maid said: "This is General Lu." In his mansion, he asked his slaves to take good care of the girl."
In Beiliang, Zhou Luli had given up his surname and changed his name to Lu Li.
Probably because they were afraid that Shen Dingzhu would seek death, these maids followed her every step of the way. Soldiers in armor were guarding the door and the yard.
After understanding her situation, the first thing Shen Dingzhu asked Zhou Luli to say was that she wanted to take a bath. Fortunately, this request was very subtle, so Zhou Luli did not feel embarrassed.
Shen Dingzhu deliberately showed calmness to relax the vigilance of the maids. However, they were probably instructed by Zhou Luli to serve them very carefully and never left Shen Dingzhu's side.
Fortunately, after getting along with each other for a few days, Shen Dingzhu also learned more or less about the outside world from their mouths.
Zhou Luli took over a large army under King Changsheng and was ordered to come to Pengcheng to resist the Jin army. Puyue also changed her name and now everyone calls her 'Mrs. She'.
She followed Zhou Luli, and everyone agreed that they were husband and wife.
The army of Shen Dingzhu's brother Shen Lan has already reached the gate of Pengcheng, and there is a possibility of a breakthrough at any time. However, they are currently delayed, probably because they have received orders from Xiao Langyan.
A large army besieged the city, and fast forward to the early winter, it was still dark and heavy.
Shen Dingzhu never expected that the first person to come see her would be Xu Huaisong.
Xu Huaisong held Queen Lin's Phoenix Order, and the soldiers and horses in Zhou Luli's mansion allowed him to enter. The two met in the back garden, and Shen Dingzhu was surrounded by soldiers holding swords.
Xu Huaisong was just like the day they parted, wearing decent clothes and his eyes were narrow and indifferent. It was only when he looked at Shen Dingzhu that he became more serious: "It turns out that your surname is Shen, and you are the concubine of Emperor Jin."
Shen Dingzhu lowered his eyelashes slowly. Now that her identity was revealed, she and Xu Huaisong were naturally hostile, so they had to keep a distance.
"Why are Mr. Xu here?"
"For you." Xu Huaisong's voice was calm, "My aunt, Queen Lin, asked me to persuade you. She can persuade the emperor to let you leave with Emperor Jin, but there are two conditions. First, you hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder; second, You ask Emperor Jin to withdraw his troops and return the two cities of Yangguan and Baishi City."
Shen Dingzhu's pretty face had a frosty look on her face, and she rejected it bluntly: "Impossible."
She looked straight at Xu Huaisong: "I can die, but I will never hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder."
Even if Beiliang is willing to settle the matter and admit its mistakes now, it is because Xiao Langyan's army is pressing on the city and they have to surrender!
Once the gunpowder is in their hands, it will be difficult to predict the safety of the people of Jin in the future.
Xu Huaisong looked at her firm expression with narrow eyes, and in the end he could only sigh.
He took out a simple silver hairpin from his sleeve.
"You left this at my house that day. Since you were obsessed with it, I had no choice but to return it. We have nothing to do with it from now on."
After saying that, Xu Huaisong turned and left, his pine-like figure still upright, just like his person, deserted.
He is a relative of Empress Lin, and his house once housed the enemy emperor's concubine, so he should break off the relationship with her. Shen Dingzhu understands this and doesn't blame him.
The maid immediately came to check the silver hairpin in Shen Dingzhu's hand. After finding that there was nothing special about it, and even the hairpin head was not sharp enough, she allowed Shen Dingzhu to keep it alone.
At night, Shen Dingzhu's bed curtain fell, and she curled up in the quilt. Under the moonlight, she pressed the silver hairpin with her slender fingertips, twisting it twice to the left and three times to the right.
Finally, he took off the hairpin and pulled it out. It was a sharp little dagger.
Shen Dingzhu's nose felt sore, and she recalled that when she first saw Xu Huaisong take out this thing in the study that day, he told her that this hairpin was actually a hidden weapon.
"When a businessman is out, he is afraid of encountering bad people, so I have something to protect myself and protect myself at any time. I give it to you." Xu Huaisong wanted to give it to her at that time.
But Shen Dingzhu refused. She always kept a distance and did not dare to accept any of his personal belongings.
This time, he gave her this thing again. Xu Huaisong was a businessman and a native of Beiliang. He did what he could and what he couldn't do. Shen Dingzhu thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
On this day when the weather was extremely gloomy and thunderous, Bo Yue suddenly broke in.
Ignoring the maid's obstruction, she grabbed Shen Dingzhu's neck and couldn't hide the excitement and laughter on her face.
"Sure enough, Xiao Langyan went into the city alone for you. Soon he will be tied up by brother Lu Li. It will be useless to keep you alive. I have long wanted you to die! Why did you show up at such an inappropriate time? Brother Lu Li said You want to marry me!"
Several maids came up to pull her, but the guards brought by Bo Yue dragged her directly to the door. The two sides started fighting outside and became a mess!
In the room, Shen Dingzhu was strangled by the neck and couldn't breathe. The excitement in Bo Yue's eyes never faded.
Shen Dingzhu squeezed Puyue's hand and said with difficulty: "It's in vain that the emperor loves you so much...you actually became a traitor to the Jin Dynasty."
"Love me? If you love me, you won't let me come to kiss you. If you love me, you won't kill my mother-in-law and my brother! Xiao Langyan is an emotionless monster. Fortunately, he still cares about you. You all deserve to die. !" Bo Yue was hysterical, shouting out all the hatred in her heart.
Taking advantage of the moment when she was overwhelmed by emotions, Shen Dingzhu found the right opportunity and inserted the dagger hidden in the hairpin into her eyes!
"Ah——!" Pu Yue screamed, she turned around and wanted to run outside for help.
Shen Dingzhu kicked Puyue down from behind, then stuck a hairpin on her shoulder, picked up the bench and knocked her unconscious, all in one move!
After being outside for so long, she already knows how to protect herself.
Puyue passed out covered in blood, and the sound of fighting outside continued. Shen Dingzhu quickly opened the window and stumbled away.
She was not familiar with Zhou Luli's mansion, but she avoided the patrolling guards and finally found the corner door of the mansion.
However, as soon as she ran out, she was caught by a big hand.
Shen Dingzhu turned around in fear, and saw Zhou Luli rushing back from nowhere, covered in blood, with a gloomy look on his face: "How dare Xiao Langyan set an ambush. It seems that he really doesn't care about your life. In this case ,Come with me!"
She struggled desperately: "Let me go!" However, she was tied up by Zhou Luli's soldiers and carried away quickly!
The roaring sound kept ringing in Pengcheng, and the flames of artillery were ignited everywhere. The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were so powerful that they opened the gate of Pengcheng and went straight into the hinterland!
As soon as Zhou Luli and the others left, two groups of Xuanjia troops broke into his mansion and fought with the soldiers he left behind.
However, Shen Dingzhu was taken to a water prison under the embankment by Zhou Luli!
He quickly handcuffed Shen Dingzhu with iron chains. His face was bloody and he looked even more sinister: "Xiao Langyan wanted to blow up Pingpeng City to save you, but the Emperor of Beiliang was actually afraid of his tiger and wolf troops, so he killed me You are considered the criminal who provoked discord between the two countries. Since I will die if I advance or retreat, I will take you to be buried with you even if I die!"
As the explosion approached, the entire water prison rumbled, and gravel continued to fall. The guard hurriedly urged at the door: "General, leave quickly! Half of the embankment was destroyed by the earthquake, and the river water is about to pour down."
Zhou Luli had already locked Shen Dingzhu, and he smiled coldly: "I'm leaving, so don't blame me for treating you like this. Who made us have different positions? If you hate me, then just wait for me at the King of Hell!"
With that said, he turned around and led the soldiers away. Shen Dingzhu struggled continuously, but was locked tightly by the iron chain: "Zhou Luli, you bastard!"
Shen Dingzhu watched the rushing water pouring into the prison. She was quickly wet all over. She hurriedly went to untie the iron chain with her hands, but the iron chain did not move at all.
The water prison is usually built under the embankment and is a concave opening. Once the river water in the embankment washes down, she will definitely die, but Xiao Langyan may not know that she is here.
Shen Dingzhu kept shouting for help, but explosions were heard frequently outside, and it was too late for everyone to save their lives. Who would notice that there was someone under the water prison.
Soon, the water poured down spread to her waist.
Shen Dingzhu was soaked all over, shivering from the cold in the approaching winter weather. At this moment, someone faintly shouted from outside: "Shen Dingzhu! Shen Dingzhu——!"
It's Xiao Langyan's voice!
Shen Dingzhu responded hurriedly: "I'm here!"
However, her voice was too small compared to the sound of rushing water. Shen Dingzhu immediately raised the iron chain on his wrist and hit the wall hard.
After a while, Xiao Langyan's face appeared above the water prison.
Xiao Langyan was wearing light armor, his deep brow bones were dripping with blood, his thin eyes were red, and the moment he saw Shen Dingzhu, his heart finally settled!
However, when he saw her tied up with chains, his expression changed.
"Don't move, I'm coming down right now!"
He quickly took off his light armor and jumped into the cold water. Shen Dingzhu's wet hair stuck to his face, shivering with cold, until Xiao Langyan hugged her.
He pressed her head and asked her to lean on his shoulder as much as possible. Then he held a long sword and tried hard to cut the chain tied to the stone wall, but to no avail.
The water had risen to Shen Dingzhu's neck. Afraid of her discomfort, Xiao Langyan picked her up and let her step on him.
"Cold... so cold." She shivered all over.
"Hold me tight." He freed up one hand and wrapped his fiery palm around her waist.
Shen Dingzhu reached out and touched his injured eyebrow. He didn't even bring any guards with him. One can imagine how he got through the layers of siege and came here single-handedly.
The long sword in Xiao Langyan's hand broke with a "snap", but the iron chain only broke a corner, and his tiger's mouth was shattered, and a wisp of bright red blood flowed out.
Hot tears fell out of Shen Dingzhu's eyes: "Xiao Langyan, please leave, I can't get out."
"No nonsense!" Xiao Langyan lifted her up, his thin eyes red and bloodshot, and his dark eyebrows filled with deep attachment to her, "I won't let you die in front of me."
If the sky falls, he will carry it until the last moment for her.
The cold water quickly spread over the heads of the two of them. Shen Dingzhu knew how to hold it in, but after holding it in for a long enough time, she felt as if there was a big stone pressing on her heart. The suffocation made her almost unable to hold on.
She gently pushed Xiao Langyan and told him to leave quickly.
Under the water, the beauty's black hair was like algae, floating beside her, her pretty face was pale, and her eyebrows were gorgeous, but filled with sadness.
Xiao Langyan took a deep look at her and then decisively came up.
Shen Dingzhu knew he was gone and finally closed his eyes with relief.
She knew that she would not survive, and he should not be buried with her. He was the emperor of Jin, how could he be buried in a foreign water prison for her?
However, just after a moment, she felt her lips soften and opened her eyes in surprise.
His lips, teeth, and eyebrows were very close at hand, and his temples were completely black, stained with countless crystal water drops under the water, like precious treasures.
Xiao Langyan didn't know when he returned. He held her lips and slowly breathed out.
His kiss was full of retention, and Shen Dingzhu's heart trembled, feeling that Xiao Langyan put all his desire for her to live into this kiss.
Shen Dingzhu was in a daze.
Zhou Luli wanted to take advantage of her, and Xu Huaisong helped her without violating his own interests.
Only Xiao Langyan killed the prince for her, overturned the old case for her, went into the enemy camp alone for her, and risked everything for her.
Others like her because of her beauty.
However, only Xiao Langyan never said he liked her, but truly loved her.
