C29 (1/2)

”Let them go first, then we'll let them go. This is also my bottom line.” Wu Mei laughed and said, but her eyes were firm, and could not be refused.

Yu Shang was their only trump card, it was impossible for her to let them go first no matter what.

”It looks like we won't be able to reach a consensus.” The corner of Yu Jia's mouth dropped.

Wu Mei retracted her smile and said sternly: ”If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I can vouch for my Wu Family's reputation. If you let me go, I will let them go and I will not speak without thinking.”

”Humph!” You let them go, I will immediately let you go. Could it be that General Wu does not trust me? ”

This was the tip of the bull's horn. Both of them did not retreat, and instead, drilled towards the tip of the bull's horn.

Wu Mei stared at Yu Jia and said helplessly: ”In short, I cannot let him go first.”

Yu Jia laughed coldly, and said: ”Then we can only continue to hold a stalemate here.”

Wu Mei's heart was burning with anxiety, but she did not know what to do.

Tang Yin who was behind him clenched his fists and urged his horse forward a few steps. He came to Wu Mei's side and asked softly: ”General Wu, what are you chatting with him about?”

Right now they were at the Enemy's Camp, the situation was extremely dangerous, every second delayed would mean an additional change of events, and since Wu Mei was in a deadlock with her opponent, how could Tang Yin not be anxious.

Facing against such a difficult opponent like Yu Jia, Wu Mei merely looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already starting to be in disarray. She asked in a low voice, ”Then... What should we do? ”

Tang Yin looked at her suspiciously. With a hostage in his hands, how could he not know what to do?

He took a deep breath and said, ”Let me talk to him!” After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Jia and shouted loudly: ”Yu Jia, I am not negotiating terms with you right now, I only want you to let me go. Of course, whether or not you agree to it is up to you, but I have to remind you, the life and death of your brother lies also in your decision.”

Yu Jia scoffed, and asked: ”What can you do if I don't allow it?”

”Then you're making fun of your brother's life.”

”I'll tell you the truth. If you dare hurt a single hair on his head, I'll immediately kill you …”

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already laughed out loud and interrupted him, then without any warning, he raised his hand and fiercely grabbed onto Yu Shang's left ear. He forcefully pulled down his wrist, and with a hissing sound, Yu Shang's left ear was ripped off.

He looked at it as if nothing had happened, then casually waved his hand and threw it towards Yu Jia. He said expressionlessly: ”This is only the beginning, if I take action now, it will not only be for my ears, it may be his nose, or it may be his eyes.”

”Huh?”

Tang Yin's sudden action not only stunned the other party, but even Wu Mei, Wu Ying and the others trembled in fear. They did not expect the naturally smiling, refined and gentle Tang Yin to be so vicious and merciless.

He used to be an assassin, a gangster. He knew what human nature was, and he also knew how to use a hostage to break down a person's psychological defenses.

Indeed. Seeing his younger brother's ear being ripped off, Yu Jia's heart almost broke. He was about to go crazy, his eyes were filled with blood veins and his eyes were wide open. With a strange cry, he retracted his hand and pulled out his sword from his waist.

If the two sides had been in a stalemate just now, it was now a matter of seconds.

Wu Mei secretly grinned, and bellowed at Tang Yin: ”What are you doing?”

Tang Yin ignored her and looked straight at Yu Jia. His finger that was covered in blood hooked up slightly, aimed at Yu Shang's eyes and coldly said: ”Yu Jia, do you still want to see what his eyeballs look like?”

His ears were torn off, Yu Shang was in so much pain that he almost fainted. Now that he heard someone trying to dig out his eyes again, he was even more scared, screaming at Yu Jia non-stop, and not long later, his throat turned hoarse, only leaving behind a whimper.

The Steel Sword that was lifted up quickly put it down as well. Looking at the bloodied and dying Yu Shang and then looking at the cold and emotionless Tang Yin, he was afraid. From the depths of his heart, he could feel a slight chill.

He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly stopped them. ”Don't, don't hurt him again …”

”Sure! But you have to let them go immediately! ”

”No problem!” I can let you go, but you have to promise not to hurt him and to let him come back. ”

Tang Yin did not reply, but turned to look at Wu Mei.

The one making the decision now wasn't him, but this Miss Wu. The one who could make the decision was naturally her.

After being stared at by Tang Yin for a long time, Wu Mei finally recovered from his shock and carefully glanced at Tang Yin before saying to him, ”I … As long as His Highness allows us to safely return to the Tong Gate, then I will definitely release them. ”

Yu Jia looked at her deeply, and then nodded his head after a moment of hesitation and said: ”Alright, I believe you.” With that, he tilted his head and shouted, ”Let them pass!”

”Your Highness!”

Just as a few General of Ning Country s were about to stop them, Yu Jia swept his gaze across them one by one and asked: ”Are you questioning my decision?”
