Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 144
Chapter 144 Xiao Jin Transaction
Yun Xiao rode her horse and quickly ran forward. Behind her, many branches and leaves were tied to the horse. As the horse ran, the branches behind her also made rustling sounds. From a distance, one would think that this group of people was definitely not a minority.
Yun Xiao walked forward in a dusty manner and very quickly arrived at the front.
When she arrived at the place where she left earlier, she could only see a few pools of blood on the ground. There was nothing else. Her eyes were dull. She originally wanted to use these tree branches to scare those people and make them feel fear. She could let her elder brother escape first. Who knew that those people would still capture her elder brother?
However, Yun Xiao did not place much hope in this method. Although she was somewhat disappointed, she quickly calmed down.
Roll over and dismount, Walking in the direction of the bloodstain, She wanted to find some clues, but she took a few steps. Suddenly, her expression stiffened, because she saw a shocking scene. There was a lot of blood there, but it did not attract Yun Xiao’s attention. What caught Yun Xiao’s attention was a word in the blood, a crooked word “Sun” lying there.
Yun Xiao’s hands were tightly clenched together. She did not expect that she had indeed guessed that it was really Madam Sun!
This woman was truly courageous!
Yun Xiao’s gaze was filled with anger. Logically speaking, Big Brother’s kung fu would definitely last until he returned. What method did Madam Sun use to capture Second Brother?
Just as she was about to continue to check for other traces, a warm voice sounded not far away from her. “Don’t look, those people used a large net to capture your second brother.”
“Who?” Yun Xiao vigilantly looked in the direction where the voice came from. She really did not expect that there were other people here.
But why was this voice so familiar?
Under Yun Xiao’s gaze, Rong Jin wore a moon-white robe and walked out. His expression was faint, his gaze gentle, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. It was as if what he had just said was just a casual remark. No matter what, he never thought that it would end up like that.
When Yun Xiao saw Rong Jin, she was slightly stunned. “Why are you here?”
Rong Jin continued to walk forward with a faint gaze, “Passing by.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched fiercely. She remembered that Rong Jin’s whereabouts had always been uncertain, so she didn’t ask anymore. She remembered something extremely important. “You mean those people used a big net to capture Second Brother? So, you’ve been here all this time and saw Second Brother being captured?”
Rong Jin saw that Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly unhappy. Unfortunately, he did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, he nodded calmly.
Compared to Rong Jin’s calm, Yun Xiao now had the intention to kill Rong Jin. She had seen how powerful this man’s martial arts were. If she had his help, how could Second Brother be captured by that woman in Madam Sun?
The more Yun Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became, and her expression became slightly angry, “Rong Jin, why don’t you help my second brother?”
Rong Jin’s eyes were filled with doubt, and his expression was calm as if he hadn’t heard Yun Xiao blame him, “Why should I help him?”
When Yun Xiao heard these words, she felt the corner of her mouth twitch again. She no longer paid attention to Rong Jin and got on her horse. She was about to leave. If he spoke to Rong Jin, he would be infuriated to death, and Rong Jin was such a dark-bellied person, so it was more reliable to rely on himself.
After all, he and Rong Jin were just cooperating. Rong Jin really didn’t need to help him. However, when he thought about how Rong Jin had actually watched his second brother being captured and didn’t even help his second brother, Yun Xiao felt slightly uncomfortable.
However, Rong Jin blocked her path. His expression was still as gentle as ever, and his gaze was filled with surprise. “Where are you going?”
Yun Xiao only smiled mockingly and then said, “Naturally, I have to save my second brother. Young Master Rong is so busy, I’m sure he won’t be interested. Please move aside, I’m going to find my second brother.”
“You think you can save Yun Lan by yourself?” Rong Jin chuckled, his gaze carrying a gentle aura.
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, but she quickly regained her senses and sneered, “What does it have to do with you?”
“I can help you.” Rong Jin said resolutely without any change in his expression.
“Is that so? But I don’t need it.” Since he was so ruthless that he couldn’t save his second brother before, why are you pretending to be crocodile tears now?
Rong Jin seemed to be able to clearly feel Yun Xiao’s anger. He only chuckled, “Are you angry?”
When Yun Xiao heard his question, she was originally not angry, but now, anger surged in her heart. “I’m not angry, please move aside.”
“But your expression shows that you’re angry. Are you angry because I didn’t save Yun Lan?” Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao leisurely, his pair of dark eyes filled with undetectable oddities.
Yun Xiao was indeed angry, but after being openly pointed out by Rong Jin, she felt that she was stingy. She turned her head and said, “Right, since you didn’t save my second brother before, don’t block my path now.”
“Aren’t you curious about how Madam Sun will deal with your second brother? Besides, your second brother is already seventeen years old. You asked him to leave the capital to join the army. There are many tricks in the army. If he doesn’t know these methods, he will randomly enter the barracks. Do you think this is really a good thing for your second brother?” In Rong Jin’s eyes, Yun Lan’s kung fu was indeed not bad, but unfortunately, this person was not good at all at scheming and trickery. He could only be considered brave and foolish.
Yun Xiao was suddenly stunned for a moment before turning to look at Rong Jin. This time, Yun Xiao’s gaze was filled with intense scrutiny. However, she had already agreed with Rong Jin’s words in her heart. This kind of second brother was indeed not suitable for joining the army, but she believed that second brother would definitely be vigilant.
Today, Rong Jin used a bloody fact to tell her how wrong her decision was, but it was impossible to be vigilant.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and her state of mind had returned to normal. “What do you want?” Since he took the initiative to say that he wanted to help, it meant that he had something he needed. Otherwise, with Rong Jin’s character, he would definitely not interfere in this matter.
Rong Jin’s dark phoenix eyes were filled with praise. “It’s convenient to deal with smart people. I only want your second brother. If your second brother is safe and sound, his life will be mine.”
Yun Xiao unconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air, “I won’t agree.” Give Second Brother’s life to Rong Jin? It can’t be? Even if Rong Jin was the prince, he would still be the prince of Country of Xiyue. Becoming someone from Country of Xiyue would be treason. At that time, something really would happen to Yun Clan.
Rong Jin looked into Yun Xiao’s eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of mockery, “Oh? Could it be that Fourth Young Lady wants to watch her own brother die?”
Hearing Rong Jin’s impolite words, Yun Xiao’s expression was very unhappy. “I will think of a way.”
“Fourth Young Lady, do you know who Madam Sun hired to kidnap your second brother?”
“I don’t know. Do you know?”
“People from the Ten Directions Palace.”
Once these words were spoken, Yun Xiao immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. She did not expect Madam Sun to be so bold. She kidnapped her second brother and even bribed the people from the Ten Directions Palace. She was simply courting death! If Sun shi was right in front of him now, Yun Xiao would definitely not calm down.
But now, Yun Xiao didn’t have the slightest bit of confidence that she could pull Yun Lan out, because the people of the Ten Directions Palace were definitely not people she could provoke, and last time, she had offended the master of the Ten Directions Palace.
Could this be the man’s revenge on him?
“Do you want to trade with me? I’ll save your second brother. As a reward, all you need to do is hand your second brother over to me.” Rong Jin chuckled and continued to guide him.
Yun Xiao looked at the sky. There must be no further delay, Otherwise, second brother would really be in danger, Yun Xiao rolled her eyes and said, “I can promise you, but Second Brother is also a person. His life cannot be decided by others. I will only give you ten days. If you can make Second Brother nod, I naturally have no objections. If Second Brother doesn’t agree after ten days, you can’t force Second Brother to do anything.”
Seeing Yun Xiao’s expression, Rong Jin unconsciously added a trace of gentleness to the corners of his mouth. “Deal.”
Hearing Rong Jin’s decisive voice, Yun Xiao was slightly surprised. However, this surprise only passed in a flash. Right at this moment, Rong Jin chuckled and said, “However, in this way, I will suffer a loss. The prescription given by the fourth young miss has always been good. If the fourth young miss adds a prescription, I presume that I will help people more thoroughly.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched a few times again, and she snorted coldly before saying, “Traitor!”
Rong Jin wasn’t angry either, and his expression became even more gentle. “I’m not a traitor. No matter how you call me a traitor, I can still be considered worthy of the nickname given to me by the Fourth Young Lady.”
Yun Xiao’s body couldn’t help but tremble. After Rong Jin finished speaking, he turned around and walked behind the horse, untied all the notes that Yun Xiao had tied up.
Yun Xiao saw it and did not stop it. After all, she would have to face the people of the Ten Directions Palace later, so she must not be discovered by those people. She could only be caught off guard and have a chance of victory.
Rong Jin raised his head and saw Yun Xiao’s thoughtful expression. He immediately got on his horse and sat behind Yun Xiao.
When she sensed the reaction of the people behind her, Yun Xiao’s gaze carried a slight vigilance and immediately moved her body forward carefully. “Why are you riding on my horse? Go ride your own.”
Rong Jin smiled helplessly, “I came here on foot. Where did I find any horses?”
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She was unwilling to accept this fact. She looked left and right, but she really didn’t see Rong Jin’s horse. In the end, she could only say coldly, “Then you can walk. The man and woman are not kissing each other. Stay away from me.” Since she could walk over and chase after her horse, Yun Xiao felt very comfortable thinking about this scene. This was to punish Rong Jin for being smart. Since Rong Jin wanted to make his big brother suffer a little, he wanted Rong Jin to suffer a little too.
However, the person behind him did not put Yun Xiao’s threat in his ears at all. Instead, he extended his hand to block Yun Xiao’s waist and brought Yun Xiao into his embrace. He said softly, “Stop messing around and sit down.”
A warm breathing sound sprayed on her hair. Yun Xiao smelled the faint fragrance on the man’s body and her cheeks unconsciously turned red.
Just as she was about to struggle to get up from Rong Jin’s embrace, Rong Jin’s big hand had already pressed down on Yun Xiao’s body. “If you still want to see your second brother, be honest.”
After Yun Xiao heard this, she felt even more furious. However, very quickly, a cloak wrapped the two of them together. Rong Jin’s gentle voice also came to mind above her head, “Don’t move. The cloak will fall off, and you will be cold.”
His voice was very faint and light, but Yun Xiao sounded exceptionally pleasant. Ever since she was reborn, she had lived a life of fighting for power and pets every day. This was the first time someone said to her, “You will be cold.”
Yun Xiao raised her head to look at the man beside her. Her eyes, which were as simple as ancient orchids, had a strange look
