Chapter 262: Defense Collapse
"Please stay calm." She said in a flattering tone, "King Jin has always valued talents. Sir Xie, you are so talented that you should recognize who is the real wise leader, right? If Sir Xie is willing to change his mind, King Jin will definitely treat you well, and Miss Bai will naturally not be treated unfairly at all."
"but……"
Yu Zhen's smile was a little cold, "If the two sides quarrel, it will not end well. Miss Bai is so beautiful, if she dies because of this dispute, Master Xie, can you really sit back and do nothing?"
Su Yan sighed inwardly, thinking that everything was a foregone conclusion.
Song Yanyi's fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, veins bulging, and he stared at the carriage with sharp eyes, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
The thing he could not tolerate most in his life was being manipulated by others. He had always been the one making all the decisions and manipulating others at his will. When had he ever been so passive?
At this moment, he felt as if someone was strangling him, and he deeply felt the bitterness of powerlessness.
Seeing that Song Yanyi didn't say a word, Yu Zhen was sure that he had wavered, and urged his men even more, "Come here, ask Miss Bai to come out, so that Master Xie can rest assured."
A general stepped forward and gently opened the curtain of the carriage.
However, what first caught everyone's eye was not the gentle woman, but Li Jingzhao's tall and straight figure.
Then, Cui Rong came out with a sharp knife against his neck and a determined look on her face.
This sudden change made everyone's expression change suddenly. The King of Jin's men were well-trained and they quickly pointed their spears at Cui Rong.
Yu Zhen was shocked and screamed, "How dare you! Do you know who you kidnapped?!"
Cui Rong's fingers tightly grasped the dagger, her knuckles whitening, the blade stained with blood, and she pressed it tightly against Li Jingzhao's neck, saying in an unquestionable tone: "Everyone, step back, or I will kill him immediately."
Song Yanyi was stunned, and the murderous intent between his brows disappeared instantly, replaced by an indescribable complex emotion.
Su Yan was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the situation before him.
Li Jingzhao's expression was extremely ugly, but he could only repeat Cui Rongrong's words: "Everyone step back!"
Yu Zhen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly responded, "Back off, back off quickly!"
For a moment, the situation reversed and the initiative returned to Song Yanyi's hands.
Without hesitation, Su Yan ignited the fireworks signal he had prepared in advance, and the crisis was resolved immediately!
Li Jingzhao knew that the outcome was decided, so he stopped resisting in vain and let Cui Rongrong control his arm, which was almost numb from the silver needles.
He turned around and looked at Song Yanyi, with a hint of relief in his helplessness: "You can let me go now. Song Yanyi is here, what else do you have to worry about?"
Song Yanyi stared into her cold eyes and slowly stepped forward: "Wanwan, come here."
And she just looked at him coldly: "You, don't move."
Song Yanyi paused and his eyes fell on Li Jingzhao in her hand.
"This man told me that he is the prince of Beiliang. He came to Western Zhou to renew the alliance between the two countries and seek marriage. But if he dies here, it will definitely trigger a war between the two countries and cause great suffering to the people."
Song Yanyi's eyes gradually turned cold, and he had roughly guessed her intention in his heart.
Cui Rongrong put on a forced smile and said, "Everyone knows that I belong to you. If he dies at my hands, it is the same as if he died at your hands. The enemy of the Western Zhou Dynasty is not just me, but the entire Xie family."
Su Yan was at a loss for a moment: "This...?"
Song Yanyi's eyes darkened, and his tone was full of inquiry and questioning: "What exactly are you planning?"
"If you want to keep him safe, then let me leave the capital safely. Once Ajin and I are out of the city safely, I will release him. The grudge between you and me will be over, and we will have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Her words were as cold as ice, without any emotion.
Song Yanyi's eyes were deep, with some fierceness and dissatisfaction hidden in them: "Using the Xie family as bargaining chips to threaten me, is this your method?"
"Song Yanyi, the exhaustion and boredom deep in my heart have spread like weeds, and I can no longer bear any more. What I desire is nothing more than to get away from this place of trouble and seek a quiet place. Why do you have to bind me tightly like this heavy shackle? This seemingly unfair deal is actually full of benefits and little loss for you. I don't want your wealth, I just hope you can loosen your clenched fist and set me free. The Xie family has long given up its ambitions and will not become a stumbling block for you."
Li Jingzhao suddenly sneered softly, and this smile seemed to see through all the disguises.
It turned out that she was willing to step into this glaring trap, and hidden behind it was actually the desire to escape.
His guess hit her soft spot exactly - her almost desperate desire to escape, but he didn't expect that she would choose such a decisive way.
Song Yanyi's gaze, as deep as the abyss, fell on her. There was a storm hidden in his eyes, but his tone was surprisingly calm, like a spring breeze blowing on her face: "Wanwan, this is not the kind of nonsense you should have. Come back to me."
Cui Rong's body stood still, as if time had stopped at this moment. Only the sharp short blade in her hand seemed even colder because of her tight grip. Blood flowed down the blade, and the dripping sound was particularly harsh in the silence.
"What if I refuse?"
Song Yanyi suddenly took a step forward, a playful smile on his lips. Behind that smile, there seemed to be an indescribable storm hidden.
Su Yan's heart, which was originally hanging in the air due to nervousness, now seemed to fall into an ice cellar, sinking into the abyss of despair.
Li Jingzhao's face turned pale in an instant. He couldn't believe that Song Yanyi would not care about his life or death. This determination was beyond his imagination!
Cui Rongrong's pupils suddenly shrank, and she held the short blade with such force that she almost broke it: "Stop, don't come any closer!"
However, Song Yanyi did not stop there. His words were mixed with a hint of crazy persistence: "Then, go ahead. I will take the responsibility for Xi Zhou's mistakes. If you are cruel enough, you can accompany me to witness the final fate of the Xie family."
Cui Rong's body was as stiff as a sculpture. Her inner struggle and fear intertwined into an invisible net that bound her tightly.
"But can you really do this?"
He suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of twisted madness, as if he wanted to see through all her disguises.
In the face of Song Yanyi's almost cruel determination, Cui Rong seemed so insignificant.
An indescribable fear arose in Su Yan's heart. This man is simply a madman!
Li Jingzhao keenly captured Cui Rong's subtle changes. He rolled over and fell to the ground. The personal guards of King Jin rushed in like a tide and quickly surrounded him, forming an indestructible line of defense.
Song Yanyi's steps were firm, and every step seemed to step on Cui Rongrong's heartstrings. His eyes were like torches, piercing straight into her soul.
