Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 435
Chapter 435 Like Knows Like
Rong Ruo was grabbed by Jiang Li’s arm and couldn’t pull her body away for a moment. She could only watch helplessly as the formation formed. Those people who wanted to charge forward to deal with Zhou Jingxu all entered the formation.
Outside, they could only see the few men walking back and forth in the formation, as if they had lost their way. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find a way out.
This scene was so bizarre that many people were stunned.
The cheeked man was even more frightened. His expression changed drastically as he looked in the direction ahead. For a moment, he did not know what was happening.
“What’s going on?” The cheeked man couldn’t help but ask this question, but no one was able to answer him.
When the man saw this, he immediately instructed the others beside him to go and deal with Zhou Jingxu. However, before he could reach Zhou Jingxu, he was like those people, as if he had entered a labyrinth and could not find anything.
The cheeked man didn’t believe in evil. Seeing that there was no one left to use, he pulled out the broadsword from his waist and walked forward. However, when he walked in front of those people, he carefully stared at so many people without making any movements. He only looked at Zhou Jingxu threateningly and coldly snorted, “Who exactly are you?”
Zhou Jingxu only smiled faintly. “It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is, if you let all those people go, I’ll let them go as well.”
The man with cheeks managed to get so many people today with great difficulty. How could he let go if he wanted to? He snorted coldly, “So what if I refuse to let go?”
‘”Then they will be trapped inside. There may be people from the government coming soon. At that time, not only will you not be able to escape, none of these people will be able to escape. Even if you can escape, how many of the children behind you will you be able to resist?” Zhou Jingxu faintly looked at the man with cheeks on his face, and his expression changed.
On the contrary, when Eunuch Cai saw Zhou Jingxu say this, he immediately became anxious, “Your Highness, how can we let these people go so easily? We should let them go to the government.”
Zhou Jingxu gave Eunuch Cai a fierce look and told him to shut up. Of course, he wanted to send all of these people to the government. However, he had the array eyes now and could not move at all. As long as he moved, the array would be ruined.
And just relying on Eunuch Cai’s lack of strength, how could he subdue the chubby-cheeked man?
In addition, there was a big and a small man staring at them, especially the man with the child on his back. He had subdued all four guards he had brought with a single move. Such a formidable person did not speak from the beginning to the end. He did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend. If he was an enemy, he and Eunuch Cai would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
As for their master and servant’s reaction, the man with cheeks had already determined that Zhou Jingxu was not a prince. He laughed loudly and said, “Kid, I don’t care what you do and why you pretend to be a prince. But now that you’ve offended us, don’t think you can leave!”
The cheeked man first observed the people in front of him. He shouted a few times outside but did not get a response. Obviously, the people inside could not hear their words.
And he was cautious. He remembered that Zhou Jingxu didn’t know what he had done on the ground before. He picked up a path that Zhou Jingxu hadn’t crossed before and circled the formation. He coldly looked at Zhou Jingxu with the saber in his hand. “Brat, take your life! No matter what you did, as long as they killed you, they would be fine.”
“Then let’s see if you can kill me!” Zhou Jingxu snorted coldly. Seeing that Eunuch Cai was about to stand in front of him, he frowned and immediately roared angrily, “Get out of the way and call someone outside.”
Eunuch Cai staying here is useless, but will become a burden instead.
Eunuch Cai naturally knew, but he was worried about leaving the Ninth Prince here alone. If the Ninth Prince really did have anything good or bad, even if he had a hundred lives at that time, it would not be enough to compensate him.
But Zhou Jingxu glared at him fiercely again. Eunuch Cai thought that the exit in front of him was not far from here. He only stood not far away and called a few people in. There shouldn’t be any big problems, so he immediately ran out.
Without any burden, Zhou Jingxu pulled out the soft sword from his waist. The soft sword emitted a faint light under the moonlight. The light was cold and without any temperature. It was a good sword at a glance.
Zhou Jingxu stood there motionlessly. The man with cheeks immediately rushed forward when he saw this. Although his martial arts were not very good, his strength was great.
Zhou Jingxu usually liked qinggong the most, but now, he could only fight on the spot, and qinggong could only become trash. Every move was very strenuous, but he stood there motionlessly, wanting to wait for Eunuch Cai to quickly bring the reinforcements over as well.
…
Rong Ruo and Jiang Li looked at the confrontation and frowned slightly.
Although the boy’s martial arts were not very good, the formation was extremely good. Rong Ruo was very keen to see it, so the anger in her heart had all turned into envy. She wished she could immediately rush over and learn it from Zhou Jingxu.
However, if Rong Ruo stared at him, she could see the problem. This ninth prince, Zhou Jingxu, was normally fine, but dealing with such a person who was countless times older than him was not just an exhaustion that could be described.
And now that he’s motionless, it should be the array eye his father told him about. Thinking of this, Rong Ruo’s heart immediately revived.
The people inside the formation could not hear what the people outside were saying. As long as the man with the cheeks was also brought into the formation, even if he discussed something with Zhou Jingxu, those people would not hear him.
Rong Ruo, who had made up her mind, said, He immediately laughed, The corners of his mouth also rose slightly. He gently slid down from Jiang Li’s body. He then looked around and found a stone in the surroundings. He channeled his strength into the stone and saw the opportunity. Then, he immediately hit the bearded man. This time, he hit the bearded man’s leg with great accuracy. This time, Rong Ruo had already planned on it. It was just enough to relieve all the strength on the bearded man’s body.
Coupled with the current position of the man with cheeks, he was just facing the direction of the formation. Just as Yun Xiao had expected, he immediately entered the formation in front of him.
Seeing everyone enter the formation, Rong Ruo also heaved a sigh of relief. She held her head high and was about to walk over to talk to Zhou Jingxu. However, just two steps later, Jiang Li grabbed her arm and lifted her up. She whispered in his ear, “Don’t forget, you’re from Country of Xiyue.”
Rong Ruo’s mouth was flat, and the enthusiasm in her heart was also extinguished by this sentence.
Jiang Li was right. He was from Country of Xiyue, and Zhou Jingxu was the ninth prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The two countries were enemies. If they had any affectations, what could they do in the future?
However, Rong Ruo grew up in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so she often forgot that he was from Country of Xiyue, so she naturally had a trace of feelings for the land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
His thoughts were extinguished, but now, he and the Ninth Prince could work together to deal with all of the fire traffickers. He struggled out of Jiang Li’s control and continued to move towards Zhou Jingxu. His face had a trace of playfulness, “Are you the Ninth Prince of today?”
Zhou Jingxu frowned slightly when he saw that Rong Ruo didn’t seem to be afraid at all. Looking at his soft and waxy appearance and the fact that he had helped deal with the man with cheeks earlier, he had some admiration for Rong Ruo. He was actually able to beat such an old man to the ground at such a young age. Obviously, he was very strong.
‘”Yes, thank you for helping me just now.”
Rong Ruo immediately waved her hand and said with a smile, “It’s fine, it’s just a simple matter?”
“Since your martial arts are so strong, why are you caught by these people?” This was a question that Zhou Jingxu had wanted to ask a long time ago, but he had never asked it.
Rong Ruo blinked her eyes and said with a complacent expression, “Don’t you see that I left with them voluntarily? These traffickers have abducted so many children, so it’s definitely not just what we saw in front of us. I just want to wait for him to bring me to his stronghold and annihilate their stronghold in one fell swoop.”
However, Zhou Jingxu had interrupted the entire plan, but Rong Ruo had no intention of blaming him.
Zhou Jingxu did not expect Rong Ruo to say such a thing. Looking at the people in his array, he knew that he had ruined Rong Ruo’s plan. His expression was a little embarrassed, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.
He just wanted to capture these people and save these children, but he didn’t expect that he could use these people to save more children.
A child who was several years younger than him thought of something that he hadn’t thought of. He had to say that this was a mockery of himself, but because of this, Zhou Jingxu felt even more sympathetic to Rong Ruo and gave birth to the intention of making friends. “Sorry, what should we do now?”
“It’s fine. I know your name is Zhou Jingxu. My name is Rong Ruo. From now on, we will be friends. Since these people have all entered your formation, we will make a plan. Later on, we will pretend to be unconscious and release them. When they see us fainting, they will definitely carry us away,” Rong Ruo said excitedly.
Of course, the main reason why Rong Ruo would say that was because he didn’t want to walk anymore. He and Jiang Li hid all the way and were exhausted walking. Now that he had a free mount, he naturally didn’t want to walk a single step.
Zhou Jingxu also felt that Rong Ruo was right and nodded. “Alright, we will be friends in the future. My people have already gone to call the people from the government. The people from the government should arrive very soon. We need to get these traffickers to take us away before the people from the government arrive. I will mark them all the way and let the people from the government track us down.” Now this is the best way.
The two of them discussed it once and felt that this was the best way to look at it. They all agreed to this and had no other intentions.
Of course, it was also because of this matter that the two of them had a feeling of sympathy. They both secretly hated not knowing each other earlier.
