After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 73 Only one can be saved

In such troubled times, women were as exciting as food. The rebels ignored Zhao Qiyue and Lu Qiqi's wishes and forcibly took them away.

Pei Zhuo, who was about to go find food far away, ran over here after hearing the noise, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. The carriage drove away and his legs could not outrun the horses.

On the other side, Shen Jie couldn't wait for the two to come back, so he took Yuwen Xilan to find them, and happened to run into the people who kidnapped Zhao Qiyue.

Each of the men was armed with a knife and had a fierce look on their faces. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with. Shen Jie had no choice but to stand by the roadside and wait for them to pass by.

But just as the carriage passed by him, the curtain of the carriage was blown up by the wind. Coincidentally at this moment, Shen Jie glanced inadvertently and saw Zhao Qiyue and Lu Qiqi tied up inside.

He was startled, thinking that something was wrong, and quickly shouted, "Stop, you... uh, cough cough."

Those people didn't hear him at all. The wind blew up dust and only a line of horse hoof prints were left.

Yuwen Xilan was also horrified: "It's the rebels!"

There are more than one group of people in Xirong who are dissatisfied with the imperial court. Now the country is divided into pieces, and all forces want to get a piece of the pie, but there are only two most powerful villain armies.

One is the Dongli Alliance led by Huang Kui, and the other is the Mo Family Army led by the Mo family.

The leader of the former is the bandits from Dongli Mountain, the same rebel army that kidnapped Zhao Qiyue and the other person. They act rather rudely, and it is not the first time that they have done such a thing as robbing women, but relying on their large numbers, they are now quite powerful.

The latter is a noble family, relatively more orthodox and with a more upright style.

Shen Jie didn't know much about the Western Rong. Yuwen Xilan had given him all this knowledge. Now that something like this had happened, saving people was the most important thing.

Fortunately, the things the group had before were all with Shen Jie. I wonder if these can be used to exchange for the safety of Zhao Qiyue and Lu Qiqi.

Because it was not convenient for the girl to go home, Shen Jie decided to go to the Dongli Allied Forces' stronghold in Guanling overnight to see if he could rescue the person.

At the same time, Zhao Qiyue and Lu Qiqi both saw Shen Jie in the carriage just now. They struggled to run out, but the scarred man scolded them, "Run, run again, you don't want your legs anymore, right?"

Now the two were in a weak position. It was better for them to behave themselves until they were sure they could escape. Zhao Qiyue was still calm and did not say a word after being yelled at.

But Lu Qiqi didn't listen. Even at this time, she still wanted to protect herself by being petty.

"Why did you arrest me? I am just a little maid. Even if you sell me, I won't be worth much."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiyue just felt that she was sick. What's the point of saying these things at this time? Besides, it goes without saying what this kind of man will do with the woman he captures. No matter you are a maid or a lady, in their eyes you are just a tool to vent their desires.

However, Zhao Qiyue soon found out that she was wrong. Lu Qiqi pointed at her and said confidently, "She is the princess of Zhao State, Zhao Qiyue, the younger sister of the Third Prince. She came to Xirong to marry a princess. She is more useful than me. Aren't you a rebel army? You must need help from other countries. If you let me go, I can help you tip off."

In order to completely conquer Xirong and rebuild the dynasty, they not only had to stabilize the internal situation, but also had to make the surrounding countries recognize their status.

What Lu Qiqi said was indeed attractive, but... The scarred man looked at her, then looked at Zhao Qiyue, and said with disdain: "Humph, if you say I am a princess, then I am a princess. I also said that I am the emperor of Zhao. Do you believe it?"

Lu Qiqi was clearly well prepared, and immediately said, "What I said is true. We lived in the palace a while ago, and we even listened to opera in the Drum Tower. If you don't believe me, you can just find a palace maid or eunuch, or an opera singer in the Drum Tower. They all know the Princess of Zhao."

What she said was well-reasoned and did not sound made up. The scarred man looked at her seriously for a few seconds. Just when Lu Qiqi thought she was free, the man suddenly couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

"Haha, you may not know that we bandits do not need recognition from the State of Zhao. Moreover, the State of Zhao has not sent troops for such a long time, and may even have abandoned Guanling. What we lack now is a wife to take charge of the bandit group. You two, one will be my first wife, and the other will be my second wife, that's just right!"

Lu Qiqi had never expected this to happen and was stunned for a moment. Zhao Qiyue rolled her eyes at her and cursed, "Idiot."

As soon as Liu Biao returned to the village, he set about preparing for his wedding night. After being a bachelor for so many years, his career was now on the rise and he was about to get a wife. He was going to marry two at once. Who wouldn't be happy?

Just when he was about to become the groom, he suddenly learned that someone came to see him and said he wanted to redeem the two girls he had captured that day.

Liu Biao sneered, thinking that this man was looking for death, trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth without considering his own weight.

However, when he saw the treasures brought by Shen Jie, such as the gilded silver hairpin with dragon pattern, the nine-spread phoenix-wing golden hairpin, the jade bracelet, the pearl necklace, the gemstone ring, and the night pearl as big as a bowl, his saliva was about to flow.

Any one of these items would be enough to blind his eyes, not to mention that Shen Jie also presented him with two gold bars.

This was all his belongings, and it also included Yu Wen Xilan's wedding jewelry, which he also took off to make up the ransom. It can be said that he was full of sincerity.

The expression on Liu Biao's face eased a lot. He couldn't wait to put all the treasures into the sack, cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, you want to save someone, right? No problem."

Shen Jie was overjoyed, but before he could be happy for two seconds, Liu Biao continued, "But you can only redeem one person."

There are many women outside, but beauties are not available every day. These two women from Zhao State are deeply in his heart, so he must keep one for himself as a wife, so that she can have a good-looking child in the future.

Shen Jie's smile faded, and when he talked about saving people, his tone was firm: "No, I want to take both of them back. You have already collected the things, you can't..."

With a "bang", the teacup fell on the table, interrupting Shen Jie's words.

Liu Biao's expression became extremely vicious again, and he said fiercely: "Who said I took your things? Who saw it? I tell you, you can take one away. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't give you any."

*
Liu Biao sent someone to call Zhao Qiyue and Lu Qiqi. When they arrived, Lu Qiqi was howling at the door, so she was naturally the first one to see people.

The man said to her, "Someone has come to redeem you. Now go to the front hall."

After saying that, he wanted to go in and call Zhao Qiyue. Lu Qiqi's eyes rolled and she became more cautious. She quickly pulled the man back and said, "I'll go call her. You go and do your work."

It's not so easy to let a kidnapped person go. If anyone comes to redeem him, it can only be Shen Jie. She has to go and see what's going on first. She can't let Zhao Qiyue get there first.
