Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 554
Chapter 554 See Zhou Jingxu
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin watched as the people on the ground spun back and forth in the room, a faint doubtful aura appearing in their eyes.
Afterwards, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin saw Butler Li enter the courtyard in front of them. Seeing the lights in the room, their expressions turned cold. They immediately shouted, “Who is it?”
The moment Butler Li’s voice sounded, the lights in the room were completely extinguished, and there was no movement at all, as if everything before was just an illusion.
However, Butler Li did not leave because of this. Instead, he continued to quickly enter the room and even summoned the Dark Guards. Only at this time did Butler Li know that the Dark Guards in the courtyard had been knocked unconscious or had been given acupoints.
Zhou Jingyan was shocked in his heart. The hidden guards in the courtyard that Zhou Jingyan lived in had been brought to the palace, so the current hidden guards were all drawn out on an ad hoc basis. However, these hidden guards were also the outstanding ones that had been selected.
Even so, he could still be schemed against by others, which made Steward Li shocked. Especially, he didn’t know how many people in the room were strong!
Housekeeper Li did not rashly enter this time. Instead, he went outside the courtyard to gather a few hidden guards. However, when Housekeeper Li brought the hidden guards in again, he saw a black figure quickly jumping onto the roof and running into the distance.
Before Xiao Yuqi jumped onto the roof, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin moved to hide in a depression and watched what was happening in front of them.
Not long after, they saw that after Xiao Yuqi left, a few hidden guards chased after her, and then a lot of hidden guards chased after her, leaving only Steward Li in the courtyard.
Rong Jin held a silver needle in his hand and flew towards Housekeeper Li. He stabbed into Housekeeper Li’s acupuncture point. Then, he saw Housekeeper Li’s body slowly sliding down and lying on the ground without moving.
Rong Jin quickly embraced Yun Xiao’s body and entered the room. At this moment, the surrounding hidden guards were all attracted away by Xiao Yuqi, but they were satisfied.
Yun Xiao looked at everything that she was familiar with, her eyes filled with hatred. Then, she directly walked to the bedside and pressed down on the edge of the bed. She saw the bed suddenly open from the middle, revealing a hidden path below.
Rong Jin glanced at Yun Xiao and saw that Yun Xiao nodded. He reached out to pick up Yun Xiao and quickly entered the secret passage. However, his expression was extremely embarrassing.
Xiao Yuqi had been searching the room for a long time, but she had not found any so-called mechanism or anything useful. However, Yun Xiao had only just entered and was able to accurately find the mechanism in the room. It was as if she was familiar with the room as if it was her own.
This knowledge made Rong Jin feel very uncomfortable, and his expression was a bit strange. However, he did not say it out loud.
Although Rong Jin did not say anything, Yun Xiao could still feel it deeply. However, she could not say anything about it. Yun Xiao did not intend to tell anyone about her rebirth. But now, what she knew was no longer something that could be explained by a dream.
A dream can be mysterious enough to know where a person’s room is hidden?
Yun Xiao’s eyes darkened for a moment, and then she tightly gripped Rong Jin’s hand, not wanting to let go at all. Then he said softly, “I don’t know what to tell you about this matter. Can you wait for me to think about it?”
Sensing the nervousness in Yun Xiao’s heart, Rong Jin let out a long sigh and then said softly, “I’m not trying to force you to do anything. Let’s talk about it later when you can.”
Yun Xiao nodded heavily, but in the depths of her heart, there was still an unconcealable weight.
The two of them walked down the path and saw a huge square through the path that only allowed one person to pass. The square was surrounded by all kinds of torture tools, each of which flickered with a fierce light. It could be seen that although these torture tools had not been used for a long time, they were still sharp.
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance. With so many torture tools placed under the room they lived in, it was enough to show the gloom in the heart of the owner of the room.
Right at this moment, Rong Jin heard a faint muffled snort. Then, he frowned and pulled Yun Xiao’s hand towards the direction where the voice came from.
When they saw what the person in front of them had become, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin couldn’t help but be shocked.
The clothes of the person lying on the ground were tattered, and his body was covered in wounds of all sizes. Blood was even stained all over his robes. His robes were all dyed red, like big red crabapple blossoms.
The man also had a cut on his face. His hair was scattered around his neck in a mess. There were a few strands of hair that covered the man’s face.
Even so, in the gap between her hair, Yun Xiao could still clearly see those eyes!
Those eyes were very black and pure, but now, they were filled with fear and apprehension, as well as confusion about the future.
However, when these eyes saw Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s figures, their bodies stiffened slightly. Then, they turned around and turned their backs to them. Although that figure was still small, it was exceptionally stubborn!
Yun Xiao’s expression stiffened for a moment, and then she quickly walked forward, “Zhou Jingxu! It’s you, isn’t it? Why aren’t you willing to look at me?”
“You guys go!” Zhou Jingxu’s voice was very low, with a hint of hoarseness. It sounded like he hadn’t spoken in a few days.
Yun Xiao frowned and said, “We’ll take you away with us.” After she finished speaking, she wanted to move forward to move Zhou Jingxu.
However, Rong Jin held his hand down. “Don’t move him now. It seems that his meridians have been broken. If he moves rashly, his meridians will only be broken.”
After hearing Rong Jin’s words, Yun Xiao’s brows furrowed fiercely. Her face was also extremely embarrassed. She looked at Rong Jin beside her in disbelief and then looked in shock at Zhou Jingxu, who was lying on the ground not far away. Because she rolled over, her body was trembling with pain. Her brows furrowed even more tightly.
To be able to break a person’s tendons and meridians, how vicious was this insight!
In such a place, it wasn’t hard to guess who had broken Zhou Jingxu’s muscles and veins.
As Rong Jin spoke, something called Deathly Silence appeared in Zhou Jingxu’s eyes. He coldly said, “You guys go, I don’t want you to sympathize with me!”
Yun Xiao frowned tightly and looked at Zhou Jingxu as if he didn’t have any hope of survival. She said sternly, “No one in this world will sympathize with others at will. If you want, I can help you take revenge! But if you lie like this and let your enemies wander around, or even sit in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan Sovereign, are you really willing?”
“Revenge? It’s not easy to talk about? So what if I’m unwilling? What’s there to say if I lose? I just don’t understand why even Eunuch Cai betrayed me!” He listened to Yun Xiao’s words. After burying the Jin Emperor, he persuaded his mother to leave early. However, her mother was unwilling and scolded him. He thought of a way to knock the Empress unconscious and take her away. However, he did not expect that Eunuch Cai, who had always been by his side, would suddenly rebel.
Unable to escape, Zhou Jingxu could only mobilize all the troops he could muster to fight against Zhou Jingyan. Zhou Jingyan’s fifty thousand troops entered the city with an overwhelming momentum. The imperial palace guards he was leading were simply unable to withstand a single blow in front of those elite soldiers. In addition, there were also Zhou Jingyan’s men in the imperial palace. This battle only lasted for two hours, and he was completely defeated!
Now, his meridians had been cut off by Zhou Jingyan and he had become a cripple. How could such a cripple talk about revenge?
Yun Xiao frowned. She did not like Zhou Jingxu’s decadent appearance!
She took a deep breath and said loudly, “As long as you want to take revenge, you will have a chance. But if you have this attitude now, don’t talk about taking revenge for the rest of your life!”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Zhou Jingxu still had his back to her. He pointed at Rong Jin beside her and said coldly, “Do you know who he is?”
Zhou Jingxu sneered. Although he admired Rong Jin very much, he felt a little awkward about the fact that Rong Jin was Yunxiao’s husband. He coldly snorted and turned around.
However, Yun Xiao said loudly, “This is my husband, but he is also the Swallow King of Country of Xiyue!”
The Swallow King of Country of Xiyue immediately drew Zhou Jingxu’s attention. He looked at Rong Jin in shock. No matter what, he couldn’t connect Rong Jin with the Swallow King of Country of Xiyue. He murmured, “How could that be? Isn’t he from the Eastern Jin Dynasty?”
“Ten years ago, he was sent here as a proton, so he could only hide his name.” After Yun Xiao finished speaking, Zhou Jingxu already understood. The corner of his mouth revealed a faint bitter smile, and then he said, “I understand.”
“No, you don’t understand!” This was the time when Yun Xiao knew that Zhou Jingxu and herself were also reborn. This was the first time he had lost his temper with Zhou Jingxu. He said sternly, “Right now, the war between Xi Yue and Dong Jin is on the verge of breaking out. It won’t be long before the two countries start to fight. Although I feel that it’s not good to tell you this news. After all, it’s too unbelievable for you to personally come to the place where you grew up, but I still invite you to come to Xi Yue!”
Just as Yun Xiao said, Zhou Jingxu was shocked when he heard this. He then sneered, “This is the place where I was born and raised. I will not help Country of Xiyue fight the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Besides, a cripple like me is useless. Don’t waste your time.”
“Is that so?” Yun Xiao glanced at Rong Jin and saw that Rong Jin blinked his eyes in his direction. He then said, “What if I said that your muscles and bones have a way to be connected? Will you come back with us? Help us to make Country of Xiyue and the Eastern Jin become a true family.”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Jingxu looked at Yun Xiao in shock, his mind blank for a moment.
“The power of the world must be divided over time, so the reunification of the two countries is imperative!” Yun Xiao said loudly, but those eyes had never left Zhou Jingxu’s face.
