C27 (1/2)

Wen Jiu thought back to how the rain of arrows continued to fall before he fainted, and Xie Qi's words seemed to still echo in his ears. Hearing that his cavalry of Great Jin was about to cross Chang Ning River, the chill of the night had almost seeped into his bones.

”Yes, miss.”

Old Master Hu, who was over a hundred years old, also said, ”What do you want, or what other conditions do you have? If I can do it, I will do it for you. I only have this one daughter …”

If it were any other young miss, she would have just brought a more delicate and pretty maid. However, Miss Hu was famous for her beauty in Chang Ning City. When something happened, the imperial guard would immediately call for Miss Hu to be sent out.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the young maidens who had been rescued from the riverside were much more beautiful than his own daughter. Thus, he had a sudden thought.

Before he could finish his words, the whole family was already sobbing.

”The Great Guard of Changning is about to surrender before the war begins?”

Wen Jiu's voice was hoarse and pale.

”The cavalry of Great Jin is exceptionally vicious, slaughtering tens of thousands of people in one night. This is a battle that the Grand Guard simply does not dare to fight!”

Xie Qi, Second Madame Xie, her parents, and her younger brother had died under the blade of cavalry of Great Jin, and now that the war was about to break out in Chang Ning City, the officials at the banquet didn't even have the courage to fight for it, they just wanted to use their wealth and beauties to exchange for her life.

While he was talking, there was a kick on the door, ”If you know what's good for you, hand him over!”

The daughter of the Hu family couldn't help but lean into her mother's embrace as she sobbed and trembled.

Master Hu said anxiously, ”My lady! ”I beg of you!”

”Give me a dagger.”

Wen Jiu pulled him back: ”I'll go.”

The youth that was extremely good to her was no longer there. She was now completely alone without any relatives or relatives.

Going to the side of those people from Great Jin was enough to kill a single person.

”My lady, please accept my respect!” ”

Everyone from the Hu family was deeply grateful for her kindness. They hurriedly ordered their servants to search for her dagger, but before they could say anything, the door was kicked open and dozens of soldiers rushed in. The leader of the soldiers shouted angrily, ”Surnamed Hu, I think you're courting death! Your Excellency personally picked up your daughter because you thought highly of her. In the future, if you get the pity of a high ranking Great Jin official, you'll be able to enjoy endless wealth and prosperity in your lifetime … ”

”If you want to leave, then leave! What nonsense is this! ”

Wen Jiu turned and walked towards the door. She had been saved after falling into the water, and was wearing the red clothes that Miss Hu liked.
