Although this street is spacious, when the carriage comes along, the pedestrians on both sides immediately dodged. When I walked up like this, Caiwei beside me was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at the speeding carriage, she seemed to understand it.

She whispered: "Madam, they are—"

I didn't have time to talk to her, but I just walked towards the center of the street and raised my hand to call the carriage.

Seeing that the carriage was getting closer and closer, I even heard the panic shouts and footsteps of the guards in the crowd who had been following me. They all rushed towards me, but it seemed too late. As long as I could stop the carriage, as long as the Yangzhou officials on the carriage knew who I was, as long as these Yangzhou people could confront the guards in Jinling, I might escape from here today!

When I think of this, my heart beat even worse.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

There was chaos around, people's shouts, the sound of wheels bumping on the ground, Caiwei's low voice, and even my heartbeat intertwined, forming a buzzing sound. But in such a sound, the sound of horse hooves was particularly clearly transmitted to my ears. For a moment, my heartbeat was almost controlled by the clear sound of horse hooves, and as it became louder and closer.

I subconsciously turned around.

Just as I turned around, a hand suddenly reached in front of me. I felt the darkness in front of me. Before I could react, I was picked up all of a sudden.

Suddenly, a dizzy twist.

When I came to my senses, I realized that I had already sat on the back of a horse. One hand stretched out from my armpits and held the thick reins tightly, while the other hand tightly wrapped around my waist, like a pair of iron pliers, almost embedded me in the chest behind me, without even having room for a struggle.

And when I felt the familiar breath surrounding me, the low and heavy breathing sounded louder than the other, and then heavierly in my ears.

In just a blink of an eye, he had already taken me to ride across the long street, and the carriage I had expected and had all hope sped past me, leaving only a afterimage.

They left without even seeing me, and they left.

This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, or perhaps the only opportunity to leave here and return to Miaoyan, just slipped away from my eyes. When I raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu's calm face and his eyes that were almost condensed with frost, my heart sank.

When the horse stopped at the gate, I almost lost consciousness and was carried off from the horse. As soon as I landed, I saw that the gatekeepers were firmly tied to several wooden benches, and someone was holding wooden sticks behind me, beating them hard.

The backs and clothes of those people had been broken, and they were covered in blood.

Screams kept coming.

I was shocked to see it, and subconsciously looked back at him: "No-"

Before he finished speaking, the executioners had already stopped. One of them came forward and said respectfully: "Young Master, each of these disciples has fifty sticks, and the execution has been completed."

Pei Yuanxiu had just ridden a horse for a while, and his breath was still a little uneven at this time, but his face was dark and pale, and he didn't even have any temperature at all. He just took a look and said, "I'll still use them as the gatekeeper. Just remember, if there is another next time, I'll hit a hundred sticks."

"yes!"

As soon as the words came, the disciples fell off the bench and rolled and crawled to Pei Yuanxiu, knelt and kowtowed.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't even look at them, grabbed my wrist and turned around and walked in.

I was shocked by this scene and couldn't speak. After experiencing that moment just now, it was nothing more than a shocking change. I completely lost my reaction. He grabbed my wrist and walked in. His steps staggered several times and fell to him. They were all tightly protected by him. Finally, we crossed the small bridge and entered the inner courtyard.

It was still green bamboo leaves and a quiet path, but it was so quiet that there was not even a trace of wind. It seemed that everything had solidified, showing a forcing and murderous aura. I became more and more uneasy and more frightened, until he pulled to the door and pushed open the door. Looking at the room inside that was unchanged when I just left, the fear in my heart made me subconsciously take a step back.

But before I could retreat, he had already walked in and pulled me in with force.

"ah--!"

I shouted lowly, tripped by the high threshold, and staggered forward, but before I fell to the ground, he had already grabbed my wrist and walked forward for a while. I was dragged forward step by step by step and staggered forward by him, and was dragged to the edge of the bed.

Then, he threw me onto the bed with force.

When I struggled to sit up, he was already on the bed with his hands on the bed, covering his body and pressing on me. As soon as I looked up, I met the dark pupils that seemed to be condensed with frost. When he looked straight at me, the cold breath almost penetrated my skin and frozen my blood.

I suddenly shuddered.

Although I knew he wouldn't beat me or even scold me, the fear that came from the bottom of my heart still made me tremble and kept retreating, trying to avoid him.

But, it is impossible to retreat at all.

He reached out and grabbed my chin, and his fingertips only gently used force, just like an eagle holding the rabbit under his claws, leaving me without even the strength to dodge.

When he spoke, his voice was still gentle.

"Why?"

He looked at me, his voice so calm that he could hardly hear any slight ups and downs: "Tell me, why do you do this?"

“…”

"Am I not good to you? Why do you actually want to leave?"

“…”

"Why are you leaving me?"

I trembled, and even if I opened my mouth, I could not make any sound. And in the brief silence between me and him, a messy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and a familiar voice was crying.

"No, no! Give me aside!"

That sound is - Caiwei?!

I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to get up, but he reached out and pressed his shoulder and pressed it back to the bed. I looked at his calm eyes in horror. The noise outside was getting louder and louder. I seemed to hear someone dragging the wooden bench over. Caiwei was crying and begging for mercy. After a while, I heard a bang, the sound of a wooden stick hitting someone hard.

"ah--!"

That shrill scream suddenly penetrated the doors and windows and spread into my heart.

Suddenly, my mind buzzed and I was shocked.

They were slapping Caiwei outside, just like when we entered the door and saw them slapping the concierge!

But Caiwei is a girl, how can she withstand such torture?!

I was anxious and subconsciously reached out and grabbed Pei Yuanxiu's clothes. My voice was trembling: "Yuanxiu doesn't! Please!"

But he looked at me calmly, and the muffled sound of sticks hitting people outside came, and Caiwei's screams and cries became louder and louder. In the reverb of these sounds, he spoke, but the sound made me shivering, and said lightly: "This is their deserved."

“…”

"Those gatekeepers let you out without my orders, so that I almost lost you. They should fight."

“…”

"This girl actually deceived the doormen and told you to almost leave Jinling and leave me."

“…”

"She deserves to die!"

"No!"

I exclaimed, looking at his extremely calm eyes with great horror. My voice was also trembling, and my hands holding his clothes kept trembling: "Yuan Xiu, Yuan Xiu, please spare her. It has nothing to do with them. Those doormen were also for the sake of my being your wife, so I let it go. Cai Wei, Cai Wei, she is just a girl. She can only listen to me. If I want to leave, she can only follow me."

“…”

"It's all me, I'm leaving. Can you let her go?"

“…”

He slowly reached out and held my trembling hand, curled his lips slightly, raised a faint smile, and said, "If I really want her to die, she is dead now."

“…”

"If I really don't let those gatekeepers go, what you see when you come back is not them being beaten, but their bodies."

“…”

"I just want everyone to know that you can't leave me, no one can let you leave me!"

“…”

"Qingying..." His voice slowly became gentle, as if a breeze blew across his face, and the breath he brought was as gentle as ever. However, this moment made me tremble. His hand gently stroked my cold cheeks. Amid Caiwei's cry outside, he slowly leaned over and kissed gently on my lips: "You belong to me."

“…”

This sentence was like an invisible sword that pierced into my body, nailed me firmly here and under him.

"How can you leave me?"

“…”

"You can't leave me."

“…”

He said, and kissed me gently.

His movements were so gentle, but every word he said was so cruel. People outside were being beaten, but my heart was being cut by an invisible knife, bleeding and in pain.

But no one can tell.

At this moment, tears could no longer be suppressed.
