Chapter 329 Cross-examination
Zhao Xier was terrified and under tremendous pressure. She was as tense as a bow with a full string and every second felt like an eternity.
Just when she thought that this gangster-like man was going to attack her, he turned his head and looked away.
Without the death gaze, Zhao Xier breathed a sigh of relief, and when she came to her senses, her palms were already wet and hot.
She was so scared that she thought the man was going to rush over and break her neck or stab her with a sword. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
But thinking about the look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead object, Zhao Xier still felt a little scared. This man must be a cold-blooded killer!
Xia Mo didn't care what Zhao Xier was thinking. He glanced at the extra sword in Ling Chuan's hand and said to him, "Brother Chuan, there are wolves in this forest. Let's leave here first."
Although they are not afraid of wolves, they would rather avoid trouble than put in extra effort.
"Yeah." Facing the young man, Ling Chuan's eyes were not as cold and sharp as before, "I heard them when I came here. They are fine. Let's go out from this side."
"Okay." Xia Mo felt relieved knowing that the brothers were fine.
His eyes rolled and his gaze fell back on Zhao Xier, who was as quiet as a chicken beside him.
"Leave her to me." Seeing the young man looking at the woman, Ling Chuan said coldly.
Zhao Xier didn't want to think about it. She felt that these two people were each more terrifying than the other.
"I, I can walk by myself."
It is impossible to let her leave on her own. It will take who knows when she can leave. Ling Chuan wants to resolve everything as soon as possible, but he doesn't have time to let her dawdle.
So he stepped forward, grabbed the man's arm with his iron palm, and then used his internal energy to fly into the air, then stepped into the air and left, shouting, "Mo'er, follow me."
"Okay." Xia Mo followed closely.
Zhao Xier, who was suddenly lifted into the air, was so frightened that her hands and feet went limp and she screamed, "Ah! Help!"
Ling Chuan's sharp eyebrows knitted together, he looked down and said coldly: "Shut up."
Zhao Xier was still scared to death, but she didn't dare to anger this evil star, for fear that he would throw her down. She could only close her eyes tremblingly and sob.
They left the woods and finally came to an empty valley.
After landing, Ling Chuan let go immediately.
Zhao Xier's legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch". Her mouth and nose were twisted in pain.
Even clay figures have tempers, and Zhao Xier is not one of those with a good temper. The anger in her stomach is like an explosive barrel that can explode at any time.
Go to hell with swallowing your anger!
Zhao Xier glared at Xia Ling and the other man angrily, speaking quickly and sharply, with words popping out from her lips one after another like a string of cannonballs.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Why did you bring me here? My father is an official appointed by the imperial court. If you know what's good for you, please let me go!"
Xia Mo rubbed his ears and moved away, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf, I can hear you."
As he spoke, his eyes curved and his lips curled up in an inferior arc.
"Oh, by the way, not only do I know that your father is a high-ranking official, I also know that your father may not need a daughter like you any longer. After all, Master Gu has already left Lingyun County with his wife, and will probably arrive in the capital soon."
Zhao Xier's face changed when she heard this, her eyes became fierce, and she almost yelled, "You are indeed in the same group!"
"In the same group? Do you mean the group from before?" Xia Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and instantly connected the fact that Zhao Xier was overly concerned about those people. It turned out that she mistakenly thought that they were in the same group, no wonder she tried to test his opinion.
Zhao Xier pursed her lips and did not answer. With a gloomy face, she told Xia Mo and Ling Chuan that this was what she thought, but neither of them was too lazy to correct her, so they just let the misunderstanding be.
"Do you know Jin Xuhua?" Xia Mo directly threw out a name.
"Who?" Zhao Xier thought she had misheard. The man started talking about the people around the eldest prince. Could it be that they were the people of the other crown princes? And the identity of the masked man was actually...
Zhao Xier's eyes moved slightly, and her mind was full of thoughts.
Seeing her eyes flickering, Xia Mo sneered, his tone cold and a little mocking.
"Don't act dumb. Your father is the same as his, and he is also the eldest prince's staff. You are Lord Zhao's beloved daughter. How could you not know?"
Of course, Xia Mo’s talk of whether he loved his daughter or not was pure nonsense. Anyway, what he wanted was an absolute attitude, an absolute attitude that was very firm and could control Zhao Xier.
Zhao Xier sneered, got up and said, "How is it impossible? Not to mention that my father is only loyal to the emperor, as a woman, how could I take the initiative to pay attention to other men's affairs?"
"Also, my father is not an aide to any prince. Please be careful with your words and don't fabricate facts."
They are just two rats who dare not show their true faces, yet they really think they are so important, Zhao Xier cursed in her heart.
At this moment, Zhao Xier has already determined that Xia Mo and Ling Chuan are Jiu Ye's subordinates.
Knowing that she wouldn't tell the truth, Xia Mo didn't get angry, but instead curled his lips slightly.
"Zhao Xier, it's no use to argue with me in your current situation. Since I know your identity, there are some things that you can't change the facts by arguing. Besides--"
Xia Mo paused deliberately, then changed the subject and lowered his voice suddenly.
"How important do you think you are? If you are worthless and even hinder their progress, will they still be kind to you? Will they continue to let you live?"
The answer is, impossible.
So every time Xia Mo spoke, Zhao Xier's face became darker.
Because she knew very well that useless people would be abandoned, wasn't that the case in her previous life?
After she was reborn, she used her memories from her previous life to successfully help her father avoid several traps, winning her father's favor. Even the eldest prince appreciated her and wanted to take her into his palace.
In her previous life, she would probably be overjoyed, but it’s different now.
The eldest prince has many wives and concubines, and his wife is no easy matter. If she agrees, how will this be different from her life in the Third Prince's mansion in her previous life?
In just a few moments, many things flashed through Zhao Xier's mind, and finally she looked at Xia Mo coldly: "I don't know much."
Seeing her compromise, Xia Mo was in a good mood, "Then tell me what you know."
Of course, one cannot believe everything she says. Xia Mo feels that the two are not contradictory, and something is better than nothing than being completely in the dark.
Zhao Xier didn't mention Jin Xuhua right away, but glanced at the silent and cold Ling Chuan and started bargaining: "Will you let me go if I tell you?"
Xia Mo made a "tsk" sound, crossed his arms over his chest, and turned to look at Ling Chuan.
Ling Chuan: "In addition to Jin Xuhua, you must also tell us everything about the divine bottle without reservation."
Xia Mo's eyes opened slightly.
Brother Chuan actually agreed? If this woman said so, would he really let her go?
Seeing that Ling Chuan agreed, Zhao Xier turned her attention to Xia Mo.
Xia Mo spread his hands, "I'll listen to Brother Chuan, but you'd better not play any tricks. If I find out that you dare to lie to us, hehe."
"I should be the one to say this." Zhao Xier said coldly, "I hope you two will keep your promise."
Ling Chuan glanced at him coldly and said, "Speak."
