Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Burn Dense Forests
Yun Xiao stared blankly in the direction not far away. There were guards holding torches, and some even carried oil barrels, continuously pouring kerosene onto the lush trees.

Yun Xiao’s gaze turned slightly. She could clearly see a very, very long dragon not far away. Everyone was holding kerosene in their hands.

This scene appeared in front of him. Even if he didn’t know anything, Yun Xiao could still reflect it. Zhou Jingyan was planning to burn the entire forest.

How dare he!

Yun Xiao took a deep breath, her body trembling with anger.

Rong Jin’s eyes wrinkled slightly. He didn’t have any way to extinguish the fire now. Now, he could only watch helplessly as Zhou Jingyan had the guards burn the entire forest. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s face was somewhat pale, he rubbed his senses and said softly, “Don’t be angry. There are some things that we can’t control.”

Yun Xiao gave a muffled kindness, but her heart was still very irritated. In the end, it turned into a wisp of self-mockery. Zhou Jingyan had even killed a person. A mere forest was burned. Would he still be able to see it in his eyes?

However, in the end, his heart was a little depressed.

Rong Jin glanced at the burning forest. It shouldn’t be long before it gets here.

After investigating the entire forest, Rong Jin said, “Let’s find a place where the fire can’t chase us. It shouldn’t be long before Rong Xun arrives.”

Yun Xiao’en said. She didn’t want to see such a scene anymore, “Alright.”

However, to Yun Xiao’s surprise, Rong Jin hugged Yun Xiao’s waist and flew forward. He actually said loudly, “Zhou Jingyan, aren’t you going to catch us? We’re here.”

Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin in surprise. Rong Jin’s gentle expression was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened. However, his pair of eyes were more cautious.

“Are you afraid?” Rong Jin said calmly.

Yun Xiao shook her head. As long as she was with Rong Jin, she would not be afraid. “I just hope that by doing this, we can prevent Zhou Jingyan from burning the entire forest.”

Rong Jin rubbed Yun Xiao’s shoulder. He knew that Zhou Jingyan would never give up on this idea.

…

On the other side, the people who went to investigate Rong Jin and Yun Xiao’s whereabouts had already returned, but none of them had found Rong Jin and Yun Xiao’s whereabouts, and Zhou Jingyan’s eyes became gloomier and gloomier.

The general carefully looked at Zhou Jingyan’s expression before he said respectfully, “Your Highness, don’t worry. Look at the forest over there. It won’t be long before the entire forest burns. No matter how hard it is to hide in this forest, they will definitely come out. If they don’t come out, unless they are not in the forest at all.”

Zhou Jingyan graciously said, but his cold and fierce eyes became even more gloomy. He said loudly, “Yun Xiao, Rong Jin, I didn’t expect you to fall into my hands, did you?” After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the general guarding the city and praised, “That’s a good idea. Once you catch the Swallow King and Yun Xiao, I will definitely reward you heavily.”

The defending general immediately thanked him with a smile. Standing behind Zhou Jingyan, he looked at the dense forest not far away, but a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

Right at this moment, Rong Jin’s voice came from afar.

“Your Highness, the Swallow King and the Yun Family’s four young ladies have really been burned out. Let’s chase after them, shall we?”

“Chase!” A faint smile appeared in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes. However, this smile did not reach his eyes. He snorted coldly and turned around to mount his horse, urging the horse to immediately chase after the sound.

When the general saw this, he immediately waved his hand, causing the surrounding guards to turn around and mount their horses, immediately chasing after them.

Not long after, Zhou Jingyan saw Yun Xiao and Rong Jin standing beside a cliff.

The two of them were dressed in moon-white clothes, standing in the wind, and they seemed to be floating like immortals.

Zhou Jingyan ordered the horse to stop a few battles away from Rong Jin and Yun Xiao. He looked at the two with an ugly expression and said sternly, “What are you two up to?”

Rong Jin only smiled indifferently. He turned around and looked at Zhou Jingyan, who was not far behind him. Although he was laughing, his voice was as cold as ice. “We don’t have any ideas, but there are some things that we have to end.”

“Oh? What can I do between you and me?” Zhou Jingyan was obviously very disdainful. His gaze darkened and shifted from Rong Jin’s face to Yun Xiao’s. The corner of his mouth revealed a faint sneer, “What do you want to do?”

Although he was asking about Zhou Jingyan, the burning gaze in his eyes made it clear that he was talking to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao only stared in Rong Jin’s direction with Gujing Wubo’s eyes. Her expression was somewhat gloomy, but she did not say a word.

At this moment, Zhou Jingyan continued, “Rong Jin, didn’t you say that we should make a decision? Since we made a decision, why don’t we make a bet? If I win, you give me Yunxiao. If I lose, I won’t pester her anymore. What do you think?”

After Zhou Jingyan finished speaking, he coldly looked in Yun Xiao’s direction. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, as if victory was within his grasp. Yun Xiao was already like the item in his bag.

Sensing Zhou Jingyan’s gaze, Yun Xiao ignored it. Her palm-sized elegant little face didn’t even have the slightest bit of nervousness. In fact, the corners of her mouth even moved a few times, as if she was mocking Zhou Jingyan.

However, what responded to Yun Xiao was Zhou Jingyan’s gaze.

Rong Jin knew what Zhou Jingyan was up to. He was furious. He wasn’t worried about someone like Zhou Jingyan coveting his wife. He held Yun Xiao’s small hand and whispered, “Xiao Xiao is my wife. Why would I use her as a bet? Did His Highness the Third Prince make a mistake?”

“Is that so? Then what are you planning to bet on?” Zhou Jingyan looked in Rong Jin’s direction, his eyes full of disdain.

But in his heart, there was something wrong. Rong Jin was unwilling to gamble. How could he snatch Yun Xiao back?

Right now, he had all the power, money, and status, but he still lacked a son. Thinking of this, Zhou Jingyan looked coldly in Rong Jin’s direction and said with a mocking expression, “Since you don’t need women, how about using the city? You bet on the city at the border of Country of Xiyue?”

After Zhou Jingyan’s voice fell, Rong Jin chuckled softly, as if he had encountered something funniest.

A low, muffled laugh echoed across the cliff. When everyone heard it, only ridicule remained. Zhou Jingyan stared at Rong Jin with a cold expression. The city guard general beside him immediately berated, “What are you laughing at?”

Rong Jin’s laughter suddenly stopped. After the general’s voice fell, a silver needle appeared in his palm.

Under the refraction of the early morning sun, the silver needles emitted a faint light as they shouted and attacked the general guarding the city.

Although the general was aware of the danger, before he could react, he had already been stabbed by the silver needle. He felt the pain in his body as if it was overturning rivers and seas, and immediately attacked him.

This unbearable pain was unbearable for the city guard general. He rolled off the horse and kept rolling on the ground.

Zhou Jingyan only took a glance and then berated Rong Jin sternly, “Swallow King, do you think it’s good to deal with our Eastern Jin general in front of me?”

Rong Jin only smiled indifferently. The ridicule at the corner of his mouth widened, ‘”I’m just helping His Highness teach some fake generals who don’t understand etiquette. No matter what, I’m also the dignified Swallow King of Country of Xiyue and the father of the current Yue Emperor. Even if His Highness ascends to the throne, he can only be as generous as my son. Not to mention, he’s just a mere general. Who gave him the courage to shout at me?”

In the rumors outside, only a few people knew that Rong Ruoxun was Rong Jin’s descendant.

Originally, Rong Jin did not like to bully others, but now, he felt that it was not bad to bully others like this.

Yun Xiao, who was beside him, couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard Rong Jin’s words. She also felt that it was not bad to bully others with this kind of power.

You can use it a few more times in the future.

After hearing Rong Jin’s words, Zhou Jingyan’s expression was also terribly gloomy. Especially when he was looked at by so many soldiers, he felt that his face had nothing to do with it. Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two of them, and then looking at the gloomy expression on his face, he looked like a winner and a loser. This made her feel very uncomfortable.

“Someone, send him back to the city to rest.”

As soon as Zhou Jingyan finished speaking, a guard immediately walked out and bowed respectfully in Zhou Jingyan’s direction. Then, he dragged the general guarding the city up and carried him into the city.

However, no one noticed that the moment the general was lifted up, he raised his head and looked gratefully in Rong Jin’s direction.

Rong Jin did not look at the grateful gaze of the general guarding the city. Instead, his face was frosty.

However, Yun Xiao noticed this little action. She frowned slightly and felt a little puzzled in her heart.

Zhou Jingyan snorted coldly and said sternly, “Can the Swallow King tell us about the bet now?”

Rong Jin looked in Zhou Jingyan’s direction with a faint mocking smile. He said loudly, “Bet? Your Highness the Third Prince thinks too highly of yourself. If you want a bet, you want me to take a city? If you want to use a city as a bet, why don’t Your Highness the Third Prince also use the Border City of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a bet?”

However, at this moment, Zhou Jingyan’s brows furrowed, and his gaze became gloomy. There was also some hesitation in the depths of his eyes.

Although he was confident that he could win, he was still worried that if he really lost a city, it would have a fatal impact on his path to imperial power, or on the war between the Eastern Jin and Country of Xiyue in the near future.
