Hu Li led the Imperial Guards to massacre Lingbo Stronghold and even placed me under house arrest.
He still suspects that I have a connection with Jiang Hanyue. To lure Jiang Hanyue here, he didn't hesitate to turn Lingbo Stronghold into a river of blood.
And now he dares to sit in front of me, casually lifting his teacup and sipping tea.
"Dog official! Dead fox!" I cursed fiercely.
Hu Li frowned, "You, a woman, where did you learn such vicious words?"
I ignored him and said, "I don't know Jiang Hanyue at all. He has nothing to do with our Village. Otherwise, would Lingbo Stronghold be so poor?"
"Is that so?"
Hu Li took out a pouch from his bosom, "This is what I took from him during our confrontation. If you don't know him, then why do you recognize this?"
Damn pouch! So it was the source of this disaster!
I had no time to respond when I heard a noise from the roof.
"They're here!" Hu Li said softly and then broke through the roof and rushed out.
After a while, there was no sound. Then, someone jumped down from the roof and untied the ropes binding me.
When I saw his face, I was shocked: "You are…"
"What? Did you think I was dead?" The man grinned, his roguish smile shattering any elegance in the room.
This face was as handsome as jade.
But I... don't remember who he is!
Seeing my confused expression, he seemed quite hurt. "You still don't remember me... After all, that night you almost caused me to fall into the river and drown."
"Jiang Hanyue!" I gritted my teeth.
"Exactly. That day I was injured, and you used such heavy hands; were you really trying to kill someone?"
Since he is Jiang Hanyue, then... "So it was your wallet?"
Hearing this, he smiled lightly: "It should be your wallet." With that, he grabbed me and leaped a few steps, ready to escape.
"Wait."
I shouted. Hu Li is bad, and Jiang Hanyue may not necessarily be good.
If I let him take me away like this, who knows which brothel he would throw me into.
"Why should I trust you?"
"You should at least trust that your father won't harm you, right? Your father was my master. He raised me at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the day when Lingbo Stronghold might face trouble. He has already promised you to me; we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go!"
"There's no proof; what nonsense are you talking about?"
While I was entangled with Jiang Hanyue, Hu Li had already surrounded us with his troops.
Seeing this, Jiang Hanyue rolled his eyes and muttered, "My master really didn't miscalculate..."
I watched as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and stood there reading aloud: "Yue'er, my daughter, being with your senior brother, you must be very happy now, right? If you're happy, then your father can rest easy. When you returned from the mountain, you insisted on marrying that..."
"Stop, I believe!" I covered my face in shame, feeling like I could never face anyone again.
If Jiang Hanyue continued reading, he would probably expose the embarrassing fact that I had a nosebleed from seeing him.
With the reputation of a lecher hanging over me, I certainly couldn't look Hu Li in the eye anymore.
Hu Li, the one who endangered the lives of everyone in our village—why was I still thinking about him at this moment?
I glanced towards the distance, where Hu Li stood at the center of the encircled soldiers. Dressed in white, his expression remained indifferent as he coldly commanded, "Fire!"
Jiang Hanyue pulled me back to the edge of the Lingbo River, with the raging waters behind us and relentless soldiers pursuing us from the front.
I couldn't see Hu Li's expression at that moment, nor did I know if he truly intended to kill me.
A man appeared beside him: "The prince said to see people alive and corpses dead..."
I cursed the lewd little mustached man in my heart, feeling Jiang Hanyue tighten his grip on my hand.
"Biyue, once I deal with these court officials, how about we wander the world together?"
Even in such a life-and-death situation, Jiang Hanyue still joked around without a care.
I knew he was trying to comfort me, but this scene falling into Hu Li's eyes seemed to anger him even more.
"I want both of them; not a single one is allowed to escape."
"Wait."
A wave of despair surged within me as I pushed Jiang Hanyue away and stepped forward.
"My pouch is still with you. I won't make it easy for you even in death. Give it back to me!"
As Hu Li threw the pouch back at me, I snatched the knife from the nearby soldier and swung it at him, causing the encircled group to suddenly fall into chaos.
To kill Hu Li in front of everyone?
That was impossible, but at least it could give us a chance to escape.
Father said, as long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood.
"Jiang Hanyue, hurry—" Before I could finish my sentence, a sharp pain pierced my chest.
It was a sword, extremely thin.
It penetrated my chest, the tip still dripping blood... my blood.
I slowly turned around and saw Hu Li's flute.
My body tilted and fell into the river, and in my last moments, I saw Jiang Hanyue shouting as he jumped into the water after me.
If I hadn't mistaken him from the beginning, would everything have turned out differently?
