You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 242 Lin Kaiji, your mother has raised you for more than two years, don’t you have any concer

Lin Zhaoyue tightened her hands hanging at her sides, met Lin Kaiji's gaze, and nodded.

The carriage stopped in front of the two of them. Lin Kaiji got on the carriage first and then extended his hand to Lin Zhaoyue.

"Come, Zhaozhao, let big brother lead you."

The man had half of his black hair tied up and was dressed in a blue brocade robe. The jade pendant on his waist made crisp sounds as it swayed. He had deep facial features and a light blue fox fur coat that made his face look like a jade crown.

A hand with distinct finger bones stretched out towards her, with a faint doting smile in his eyes, looking like an older brother who dotes on his younger sister.

Lin Zhaoyue hesitated for a while before putting her hand on it.

Looking at the slender, white and soft hand in his hand, Lin Kaiji closed his palm, held it in his hand, and the corner of his mouth formed an almost invisible arc.

After getting on the carriage, he consciously let go of her hand.

The carriage swayed, Lin Zhaoyue lifted the curtain and looked at the tall city wall.

"Is Zhao Zhao waiting for someone?"

Lin Kaiji, who was standing next to her, spoke up while leisurely peeling the sugar-roasted chestnuts he had bought for her on the way.

"No."

Lin Zhaoyue withdrew her gaze and just lowered the curtain when a whole, warm chestnut was handed to her.

She looked at the chestnut and reached out to take it.

After eating a few, Lin Zhaoyue couldn't stop yawning.

Lin Kaiji stopped what he was doing and looked at her:

"Sleepy?"

The soft sand was crushed by the wheels, leaving deep marks.

The carriage was very stable, and the thick carpet inside was so soft that it made people feel sleepy.

"Kind of."

Lin Zhaoyue said this, covering her mouth with her hands and leaning against the carriage, looking very sleepy.

"Go to sleep if you are tired!"

Lin Kaiji spoke and handed her the soft pillow.

Lin Zhaoyue took the soft pillow, leaned on it, turned her face to the side, closed her eyes, and kept her slender white hands on her cuffs. As long as she moved, she could take out the silver needle.

She didn't understand what Lin Kaiji was trying to do. From the various tests and surveillance last night, she was not sure whether Lin Kaiji knew something or was just suspicious.

Close your eyes and control your breathing.

Lin Zhaoyue's mind was working rapidly.

Even breathing could be heard, and Lin Kaiji took off his fox fur coat and put it on her.

Looking at the sleeping girl, his eyes were slightly deep.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the border.

After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a noisy sound outside the carriage. The carriage stopped at a high speed and Lin Zhaoyue was instantly "woken up" by the shake.

Lin Kaiji reached out to support Lin Zhaoyue, frowned and said coldly:

"what happened?"

Ling Su's voice came from outside:

"Sir, there are bandits blocking the road, and there are a lot of people on the other side."

Lin Zhaoyue opened the curtain and took a look. There were crowds of people outside, at least more than two hundred people.

They were accompanied by no more than fifty guards.

Just as Lin Zhaoyue was about to get up and walk out, Lin Kaiji stopped her:

"Don't go out, Ling Su will take care of it."

There were sounds of swords and sabers outside, and even while sitting in the carriage, Lin Zhaoyue could hear the sound of blood gushing out.

"I'll go check on my sister and my mother. They'll be scared."

As she spoke, Lin Zhaoyue stood up and just as she stepped out of the carriage, a huge iron ball hit her.

She dodged reflexively, and the huge iron ball hit the carriage board, which was immediately smashed into pieces.

Before I could stand still, I heard a rough voice coming from behind.

"Oh my, she's still a beauty!"

"Luckily I didn't hit her just now, otherwise this beautiful girl would have turned into a pile of meat paste, what a pity!"

As that person finished speaking, everyone around him burst into laughter.

Before the man could finish laughing, a chestnut flew up from the carriage, carrying a strong internal force, and went straight into the sturdy man's throat.

The chain in the sturdy man's hand fell to the ground. He covered his neck with both hands, his eyes wide open, staring straight at the carriage, and his tall body fell to the ground in an instant.

Lin Kaiji rushed out of the carriage and fought with those people.

Lin Zhaoyue just glanced at Lin Kaiji, then jumped off the carriage and walked quickly to the carriage parked in front.

In the carriage, Mrs. Lin held Lin Wan in her arms, tightly.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted. Madam Lin looked at it vigilantly, holding the dagger tightly in her hand. When she saw that it was Lin Zhaoyue, she relaxed. After confirming that she was okay, she asked:

"Zhao Zhao, what happened?"

"We encountered bandits, so there's no time to explain so much."

As she spoke, Lin Zhaoyue came in and gave Madam Lin and Lin Wan two injections on their heads with the silver needle in her hand.

Mrs. Lin was confused:

"Zhao Zhao, what are you doing?"

"There is no time to explain so much. Mother and sister, hold on to the carriage."

After the initial pain, the heaviness in my body instantly dissipated and I felt much more relaxed.

Mrs. Lin was about to ask something when Lin Zhaoyue had already opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

She snatched a knife from a guard, sat in the driver's seat, held the reins, and stabbed a silver needle into the horse's butt. The horse ran away in pain.

The carriage sped away, and Mrs. Lin immediately understood Lin Zhaoyue's intention. She said worriedly:

"Zhao Zhao, your elder brother is still behind?"

"Brother is very skilled. If we stay here, we will only hinder him. It is better for us to break out of the encirclement first."

When Mrs. Lin heard what Lin Zhaoyue said, she thought it made sense and stopped talking.

The bandits saw that Lin Zhaoyue wanted to escape, and someone immediately rushed out to stop her. Lin Zhaoyue held a long knife in her hand, and she chopped down every person who rushed out.

Blood gushed out, and the bright red blood splashed onto her pure white fox fur, like plum blossoms falling on snowflakes.

That beautiful face was filled with murderous intent and coldness, completely different from the delicate and charming girl she used to be.

The carriage quickly broke through the encirclement. Lin Zhaoyue rode the horse without looking back once, nor did she hesitate at all.

Lin Kaiji looked at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

The movements of his hands paused. The person fighting with him saw Lin Kaiji stop, hesitated for a moment, then raised his sword and swung it towards him.

Before he could hit anyone, Ling Su, who was standing beside him, kicked him away.

"What a rude thing."

As he spoke, Ling Su looked at Lin Kaiji standing beside him and said:

"Sir, if you don't do something, the young lady will really run away."

Lin Kaiji didn't say anything, but just watched the speeding carriage quietly. Just when Lin Zhaoyue was about to rush out of the valley, he raised his hand.

Ling Su understood, raised his hand to his mouth, and whistled loudly.

The whistle echoed in the valley and the ground shook slightly. Suddenly, on the hillside, a group of men in black pointed bows and arrows at her, blocking her way.

If she continued to force her way forward, the archers would shoot her into a sieve.

Lin Zhaoyue urgently pulled the reins. The horse felt the pull of the reins, its nose hurt, and it raised its front hooves high, letting out a long neigh.

The carriage was forced to stop urgently and rushed forward due to inertia. Mrs. Lin and Lin Wan fell directly into the carriage.

The horse sensed the murderous intent, its eyes were filled with fear and its body moved restlessly.

Lin Zhaoyue turned around and saw that the bandits and guards had stopped fighting.

Lin Kaiji stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at her like that.

They were too far away, so she couldn't see the look in his eyes, but she just felt a chill all over her body.

Lin Zhaoyue tightened her grip on the reins.

Ling Su led a horse over, Lin Kaiji held the reins, jumped lightly, and climbed onto the horse.

Approaching the person, he said:

"Zhao Zhao, why are you running?"

"I'm not afraid of holding my elder brother back, so I just want to take my mother and sister out first and then look for reinforcements."

She looked sincere, without any trace of guilt or fear.

Sure enough, Yan Zhi was right, she was no longer the innocent little girl she used to be.

"Really?"

Lin Kaiji asked back, his eyes staring at her straight, as if he was examining her, and as if he had already seen through her heart and was waiting for her to confess.

"Of course it is!"

Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Kaiji's eyes.

He looked at the carriage behind her and said:

"If that's the case, everything is fine now. Zhao Zhao, come here. You don't know the road, so let Ling Su drive."

Looking at the bloody long knife in her hand, Lin Kaiji frowned slightly and said:

"Throw away the knife in your hand. It's so dirty. Your hands are covered in blood."

Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then she loosened her grip on the knife as he said.

The knife fell from her hand, and her white and tender palm was covered with bright red blood. She raised her hand and smeared the blood on the horse's back.

The blood-stained sword fell on the sand, and the blood was immediately absorbed by the soil.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Wan, who were in the carriage behind, heard the noise outside, and puzzledly lifted the curtain and stuck their heads out.

Looking at the two parties who had stopped fighting and the densely packed archers surrounding them, they still couldn't react to what was happening.

"Kaiji, what's going on?"

Mrs. Lin asked.

Lin Kaiji just glanced at Mrs. Lin and did not answer her.

Lin Kaiji had never been so rude before, and Mrs. Lin frowned unconsciously.

Lin Wan looked at this strange atmosphere and had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

Lin Kaiji looked at Lin Zhaoyue and shouted again:

"Zhao Zhao?"

The bones of Lin Zhaoyue's fingers turned white as she gripped the reins. She did not dismount, but drove the horse towards Lin Kaiji.

Lin Kaiji raised his eyebrows and just sat on his horse looking at her.

When she was three steps away from him, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and the girl kicked the horse's back and leaped onto his horse. The silver needle in her hand was pointed directly at his throat, with a grim expression:

"Lin Kaiji, let us go."

Everyone was frightened by Lin Zhaoyue's actions. They all drew their swords and rushed over.

Lin Kaiji waved his hand and everyone stopped where they were.

Lin Kaiji retracted his palm that had stored his inner strength. Just when she jumped up, he could have hit her, but thinking of her delicate body, if she really received that slap from him, her ribs would probably be broken and she would need a long time to recover. In the end, he was reluctant to do so.

He was a murderer without patience or mercy, and he would eliminate without hesitation anyone who stood in his way, no matter who they were.

Only with her, he endured again and again...

When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Zhaoyue's actions, she was completely dumbfounded!

Zhao Zhao, what are you doing?

Holding her elder brother hostage?

What happened?

"Zhao Zhao, what are you doing? What's going on? Let your brother go!"

When Lin Kaiji heard Mrs. Lin's words, he curved his lips and said to Lin Zhaoyue beside him:

"Zhao Zhao, didn't you hear what your mother said? Why don't you let Big Brother go? There has to be a limit to your behavior."

Lin Zhaoyue looked at Lin Kaiji, who turned a blind eye to her threat, and pierced his skin with two silver needles. In an instant, bean-sized drops of blood dripped out:

"The silver needle is poisonous. If you don't have an antidote within two hours, you will die! Lin Kaiji, I say it again, let us go!"

He felt a stinging pain on his neck. The needle was poisonous and the pain could immediately paralyze all his senses. Lin Kaiji could clearly feel that his limbs would soon become unable to move.

A deep disappointment flashed across those deep eyes, and was soon covered by coldness.

All the kindness he showed her over the years was wasted!

He looked at her for a while, then retracted his gaze and looked at Madam Lin and Lin Wan, and gave a cold order:

"Kill them both!"

Ling Su received the order and jumped directly onto the carriage. He pointed his long sword at Madam Lin's throat. Without hesitation, the sharp sword penetrated Madam Lin's skin. A thin line of blood oozed out of Madam Lin's skin. Lin Zhaoyue's pupils shrank sharply and she shouted:

"No, stop."

Ling Su naturally would not listen to her orders and looked at Lin Kaiji.

Seeing the indifferent Lin Kaiji, Lin Zhaoyue couldn't help crying, her voice hoarse and angry:

"Lin Kaiji, your mother has raised you for more than 20 years, don't you have any feelings for her?"

Lin Kaiji looked at her expressionlessly, and suddenly sneered:

"Lin Zhaoyue, when have you ever been kind to me? From childhood to adulthood, what have you ever wanted that I didn't give you? When have you ever gotten into trouble and I didn't clean up your mess? How many times have I saved you? But did you care? Didn't you poison me just because I said so?"

"I'm not sure if your poison can kill me, but they will definitely die!"

Lin Zhaoyue was disheartened:

"Lin Kaiji, are you really so ruthless?"

"You betrayed me first."

His voice was icy cold.

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Su and uttered a word coldly:

"kill."

Before Ling Su could take any action, Mrs. Lin fainted.

"Auntie..."

Lin Zhaoyue shouted in worry. As soon as she was distracted, Lin Kaiji seized the opportunity and used all his internal strength to break through the paralysis of his body. He raised his hand and knocked the man unconscious...

……

When Lin Zhaoyue woke up again, she felt weak all over. Her body was as soft as noodles and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.

Strange environment, strange incense.

"The young lady is awake, go and inform the young master."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the side. She looked up and saw that it was the maid sent by General Lin Kaiji to monitor her.

She was indeed Lin Kaiji's person.

Lin Zhaoyue felt dizzy and had a splitting headache. She wanted to reach out and pat her head, but she couldn't.

"Where are my mother and sister?"

"They are fine."

Lin Kaiji hurried in, waved his hand, and signaled the maid to leave.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him with cold eyes:

"I want to see them."

"Brother said they are fine, then they are fine. Brother is not like you, full of lies! The witch doctor said that it is not poison at all, but just a strong paralytic drug!"

As he said this, Lin Kaiji's eyes were filled with joy.

She is not completely heartless, she still has him in her heart. No matter whether it is the relationship between brother and sister or something else, it is something worth being happy about.

However, he tried to force his way through the effects of the paralyzing drug, and his internal strength was damaged, now only 70% of it.

"You are not my elder brother, Lin Kaiji, what are you going to do? Where is my elder brother?"
