Join the ServerXiangzi at this moment was very uncomfortable.
According to the original plan, after Jun Ao saved the beautiful woman like a hero, she should take it as a matter of course to follow him, and then relying upon that unique body fragrance upon her body, make this kid slowly fall in love with her.
This was her unique skill.
That kind of fragrance, if a man smelled it for a long time, he would become addicted, would become indulged, and would become unable to leave her.
Wait until Jun Ao thoroughly fell, she could then hold Jun Lin’an and that woman named Mei Yingxue through him.
What a perfect plan.
But right now?
It was fine that this kid did not play according to the routine cards, but unexpectedly under broad daylight he directly pressed her upon the haystack, wanting to execute her on the spot?
She came to execute a task, and was not here to truly be spoiled by a person!
“Are you f*ckers all dead people?!” Xiangzi finally could not resist anymore, screaming toward those few stunned husky men while struggling with all her might.
The bald-headed husky man—Jiaxiazhi, finally reacted over.
“Kid, you look for death!” He let out a large shout, bringing his people to rush up.
Then he saw Jun Ao grab Xiangzi’s neck with a single grab, lifting her up from the haystack like lifting a little chicken.
The other hand did not know when added a single dagger, exactly resisting upon Xiangzi’s throat.
“Every single one don’t come over.” Jun Ao’s voice cooled down, “Otherwise, I kill her.”
Jiaxiazhi fiercely braked his steps firm.
Several husky men also all froze on their spots.
Xiangzi was strangled to the point of being unable to catch her breath, her face expanding to the point of turning thoroughly red, but at any rate she preserved her innocence—although right now this posture was also not too innocent.
“How did you discover it?” Jiaxiazhi stared firmly at Jun Ao, his eyes narrowing up.
Jun Ao let out a sneer: “Your acting skills are too rotten.”
Jiaxiazhi’s face was iron-blue.
The acting skills they bitterly practiced for three months were said to be too rotten?
“Release Xiangzi,” he took a deep breath, making his voice sound containing sincerity as much as possible, “we can let you leave.”
“You guys think I will believe it?” Jun Ao added a bit of strength on his hand, Xiangzi immediately rolling her white eyes, “Put down the knives. Otherwise I right now wipe her neck.”
Jiaxiazhi hesitated.
Xiangzi was his immediate superior’s woman, if she died here, his entire family would all have to be buried along.
But making him put down the knives…
“You guys still don’t put down the weapons, wanting to make me die?” Xiangzi screamed up.
Jiaxiazhi bit his teeth, finally throwing the knife upon the ground.
“Release the person.”
Jun Ao did not move.
He stared firmly at Jiaxiazhi, asking suddenly: “How many people are you guys in total? How many more people are there inside Juman City?”
Jiaxiazhi’s face changed: “What do you ask this for?”
Jun Ao did not speak, the dagger pressing down with a single press, directly stabbing into Xiangzi’s thigh.
“Ah—?!”
Xiangzi screamed miserably, blood surging out, dyeing the skirt hem red.
“I speak! I speak!” Jiaxiazhi’s forehead sweated, “Inside Juman City there are still our people! Thirty-some! The one leading is a Colonel, early Extraordinary!”
Jun Ao’s eyes lit up.
Early Extraordinary?
Thirty-some bastards?
The experience pack, did this not come?
He secretly rejoiced in his heart, yet upon his face did not show color, continuing to ask: “That Colonel, what origin is he?”
“Colonel! The son of the Empire’s Lieutenant General Tengye Yixiong, Tengye Yuan!” Jiaxiazhi already could not care about concealing, “What should be spoken I have all spoken, you release Xiangzi!”
Jun Ao nodded his head, and then pointed toward those few subordinates beside Jiaxiazhi.
“You, kill them.”
Jiaxiazhi was stunned.
Several subordinates were also stunned.
“What the f*ck do you say?”
The dagger upon Jun Ao’s hand stabbed down another half-inch once again.
Xiangzi pained to the point of her entire body shivering, her miserable screaming sound all changing its tone.
“Jiaxiazhi! I am the Colonel’s woman! If I die, you all have to die!”
Jiaxiazhi’s entire body gave a shiver.
He took a look at Xiangzi, and took a look at those few subordinates again, his face turning blue and then white, white and then blue.
“Big brother…” a subordinate opened his mouth trembling.
Jiaxiazhi closed his eyes.
When opening them again, the bottom of his eyes was already a patch of icy cold.
“You guys heard it.” His voice was hoarse, “If Xiangzi dies, we all have to die.”
“Big brother, you cannot—”
“Now, you guys commit suicide.” Jiaxiazhi interrupted him, one word at a time, “I can guarantee that you guys are exhausting loyalty for the Emperor. Otherwise, I personally strike out to kill you guys, and you guys are the traitors of the Empire.”
Several subordinates exchanged a single look, inside their eyes filled with despair.
A long while.
The first person picked up the knife, stabbing it into his own abdomen.
The second, the third…
The corpses fell down in succession.
Jun Ao looked at all this with cold eyes, inside his body the Myriad Soul Banner trembled excitedly, swallowing all the qi and blood of those few people completely.
“Old fellow,” he said inside his heart, “although these people were not killed by me personally, they can also be counted as dying because of me, you should pass back true qi to me, right?”
“Known, known.” The Myriad Soul Banner muttered, separating a thread of pure true qi to cross into his qi sea.
Jun Ao sensed the true qi inside his body strengthening a few parts again, the corner of his mouth hooking up slightly.
Jiaxiazhi looked at the last subordinate falling down, turning his head to look toward Jun Ao, his eyes blood-red.
“They are all dead. Now, you can release Xiangzi, right?”
Jun Ao shook his head.
“Bring me to Juman City.” He said, “See your Colonel.”
Jiaxiazhi gave a start.
Immediately, a trace of wild joy flashed inside the bottom of his eyes.
Inside Juman City there was precisely a Colonel of the early Extraordinary!
This kid going there is precisely sending death!
“Good!” He promised in one mouth, “I bring you there!”
…
Juman City.
Outside an unremarkable yard.
Jiaxiazhi stood in front of the door, turning his head to look back at Jun Ao.
“Kid, right now releasing Xiangzi is still in time.”
Jun Ao’s one hand clasped Xiangzi’s neck, the dagger still resisted upon her waist space.
He glanced at Jiaxiazhi, saying flatly: “Less garbage words. Open the door.”
Jiaxiazhi took a deep breath, suddenly tearing his throat to shout loudly:
“Colonel! Help!”
The sound of his words fell, and the yard door opened with a crash.
Ten-some back figures rushed out from inside, holding long knives, surrounding Jun Ao in circles.
The one at the head was a middle-aged man wearing Great Wu clothing, his countenance sinister, a single long knife hung across his waist.
This person was precisely Tengye Yuan.
His gaze landed upon Jun Ao’s body, and swept a glance upon the restrained Xiangzi once again, his eyebrows wrinkling slightly.
“Jiaxiazhi,” he opened his mouth, his voice low and deep, “what is going on with this matter?”
Jiaxiazhi knelt upon the ground with a thud: “Colonel! This kid is precisely Jun Lin’an’s son! He saw through our plan, and even forced me to kill several brothers!”
Tengye Yuan looked at Jun Ao, his eyes narrowing up.
“The Zhennan Prince’s Heir?” He suddenly smiled, “Good courage. Daring to come to this place of mine alone, and even bringing my person as a hostage.”
Jun Ao also smiled.
“Tengye Yuan, right?” He said, “Your people’s acting skills are too rotten, I truly could not look down further, so I personally came over a trip, wanting to look at what you guys after all want to do.”
Tengye Yuan’s smile intent turned deeper.
“Then did you look it out or not?”
“Looked it out.” Jun Ao nodded his head, “Wanting to catch me, to threaten my father and Yingxue.”
“Smart.” Tengye Yuan clapped his hands, “Since you know, you still dare to come to send death?”
Jun Ao looked at him, asking a single sentence suddenly:
“Tengye Yuan, your people assassinated me a period of time ago and failed, did they not tell you after going back that there is a master protecting beside me?”
Tengye Yuan gave a start.
“What you speak of is Li Hanyi, right?”
Jun Ao gave a start.
Tengye Yuan followed to speak: “After our person returned relying upon the Blood Escape Technique, he directly fell into a coma, but my father still judged from the injuries upon his body that it was done by Li Hanyi!”
Jun Ao wrinkled his eyebrows: “Since you know Li Hanyi is by my side, you are not afraid?”
Tengye Yuan let out a cold laugh: “Jun Ao, don’t threaten me, Li Hanyi has already gone to Tieguan City, and is completely not by your side!”
Jun Ao’s heart gave a move.
Li Hanyi went to Tieguan City?
Then what about Princess Huai’an?
However, he did not analyze this question closely.
“Yes, Li Hanyi indeed left, but do you think that there are no other people beside me?”
