Chapter 177 Embroidered Spring Knife Zhou Miaotong 11

After taking Prince Xin hostage, Zhou Miaotong took him to Jinling Tower and found the letter left by Hokusai.

The letter said that Shen Lian was planning to take her to Weihaiwei, and asked them to split into two groups and meet up in Weihaiwei.

But the most urgent thing is that Lu Wenzhao has received the order from Prince Xin to hunt down Shen Lian and others.

Zhou Miaotong glanced at Prince Xin with an unfriendly look and asked him if he had any way to find out which road Shen Lian and others took.

Prince Xin rolled his eyes and wanted to say that he didn't know.

Zhou Miaotong found that he was under someone's control and was still not behaving himself, so she slapped him hard on the back of his head.

Prince Xin was beaten so hard that he felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Zhou Miaotong was not going to indulge him, and said coldly: "You are trying to deceive me by rolling your eyes, right? You'd better tell the truth, or I will kill you! You are useless anyway!"

Ding Xiu saw the anger on Prince Xin's face, but he didn't take it to heart and took over the conversation.

"You don't have to kill him. You only need to cut off one of his arms to make him lose his chance of becoming emperor. If Your Majesty still wants to be intact, don't think about lying to us. You'd better pray that we find Shen Lian and the others as soon as possible. If one or two of them die because of your delay, we can only use your arms and legs in exchange!"

Although the words did not threaten his life, they frightened Prince Xin more than killing him.

You must know that a person with a disability can never become an emperor.

Ding Xiu's words immediately hit Prince Xin's weak spot.

Prince Xin was scared, he didn't want to be missing any limbs. He quickly said that his waist badge was taken away by Shen Lian, and he only needed to check where the waist badge was used to find out their whereabouts.

After Prince Xin finished speaking, Zhou Miaotong snorted coldly, "I knew you were not a good person!"

As he said this, he raised his hand and wanted to slap Prince Xin's hateful face.

Ding Xiu quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't leave marks in conspicuous places. It would be bad if others saw it."

Zhou Miaotong understood and put down her hand angrily.

Afterwards, Zhou Miaotong pretended to be the concubine of Prince Xin, and sat in the carriage with Prince Xin, sticking close to him in a very intimate manner. In fact, she was hiding herself with her wide sleeves, and kept the dagger against his lower back.

Ding Xiu drove the carriage in front and took them out of the city.

Along the way, Prince Xin's life was in Zhou Miaotong's hands, and he dared not do anything wrong.

The group of three successfully led them out of the city.

After leaving the city, Prince Xin begged the two men to let him go, saying that he would not let anyone hunt them down, but Zhou Miaotong slapped him in the face without any hesitation.

"Shut up, do you think I don't know what you are up to? You'd better behave yourself!"

"you!"

Prince Xin covered his face, angry but not daring to say anything. Not to mention that this woman had been holding a knife against his waist, he was no match for the strong man outside. He had better endure it for now. When he was free, he would catch these two people and cut them into pieces!

Zhou Miaotong saw the hatred hidden in Prince Xin's eyes. If he was not useful at the moment, Zhou Miaotong would have wanted to kill him with a knife.

The two men, holding Prince Xin hostage, were soon reaching Mount Yi. As they were climbing the mountain, they heard sounds of fighting not far ahead.

Ding Xiu got off the carriage in advance and went to investigate. When he arrived, he found that it was his master Ding Baiying and his uncle Lu Wenzhao who caught up with Shen Lian and his men. Pei Lun was lying on the ground like a dead dog, obviously beaten by Ding Chong.

Ding Xiu showed up in time to stop this unnecessary fight.

"Master, Uncle Master, please stop fighting. You have all been abandoned by King Xin!"

On the way, Zhou Miaotong forced Prince Xin to reveal that he planned to find Wei Zhongxian after Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying left, in order to frame Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian and others as members of the Donglin Party.

His intention was to silence all those who knew that he was plotting against the emperor.

Ding Xiu did not hide anything for Prince Xin and laid all the truth out in the open.

"No, he promised me that he would let me take charge of the Jinyiwei after the success!" Lu Wenzhao was still stubborn and still had hope for Prince Xin.

"Since Master Uncle doesn't believe it, let him speak for himself!"

After Ding Xiu finished speaking, he walked to the side, revealing Zhou Miaotong and Prince Xin who was held hostage by her on the mountain road behind him.

Everyone present was stunned, especially Ding Baiying and Lu Wenzhao.

"What have you done? Let the prince go!"

Lu Wenzhao hurriedly took two steps forward and wanted to take Prince Xin away. How could Zhou Miaotong let him rescue Prince Xin? That would mean all the efforts would be in vain. She decisively raised the dagger and put it against Prince Xin's neck.

Lu Wenzhao was so frightened that he stopped immediately, stretched out his hand and said repeatedly: "Be careful not to hurt the prince!"

Zhou Miaotong rolled her eyes helplessly, and exerted a little force on the dagger in her hand, threatening Xin Wangdao: "Tell me, tell me again what you want to do to us!"

Prince Xin didn't want to say anything, but Zhou Miaotong's face turned cold and her hand trembled, leaving a thin cut on his neck.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Don't do it!"

Prince Xin did not dare to hesitate any longer, fearing that if he spoke too late, the female evildoer who held him hostage would slit his throat.

He tremblingly told the plan to deal with Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian and others.

After hearing Prince Xin's plan to deal with them, Lu Wenzhao was completely desperate. He looked at Prince Xin with sad eyes.

"I have done so much for you, yet you are so heartless when the time comes that you don't even want to give me a chance to live!"

"I think you all know that the Heavenly Family is ruthless. How could I allow someone who knows about my treason to live in this world! As long as one person is alive, there is a possibility that the secret will be leaked!"

Perhaps thinking that he could not survive, Prince Xin decided to go all out.

Lu Wenzhao put down the knife and looked around at the people present. In addition to Master Ding Baiying and his apprentice, there were also Shen Lian and Pei Lun, who was lying dead on the ground.

He smiled sadly, his tone carrying a sense of powerlessness that came from seeing through the world.

"Haha, all the scheming ends up like this! It's really ridiculous! Haha!"

"Brother, don't be sad. Just think that we have misjudged the person. At least we are still alive!" Ding Baiying stepped forward to comfort Lu Wenzhao.

Lu Wenzhao looked at Ding Baiying with a wry smile, "Junior sister, I misjudged you, I'm sorry!"

Ding Baiying's eyes were glistening with tears and she shook her head silently.

Seeing this, Shen Lian realized that there was no need to continue fighting with Lu Wenzhao and the others.

Now they are all abandoned.

He walked up to Ding Chong and wanted to help Pei Lun, who was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen that he could not recognize his original appearance.

Ding Chong didn't want to let Pei Lun go so easily. It was Pei Lun who killed Ding Tai in front of her. Even if she had no romantic feelings for Ding Tai, the friendship between the senior and junior brothers for so many years was not fake.

He raised the knife and chopped at Shen Lian's outstretched hand.

Shen Lian subconsciously retracted his hand, and Ding Chong found an opportunity, and Pei Lun was beheaded with a single blow.

Shen Lian glared at Ding Chong.

Just as the two were about to fight over Pei Lun's death, a big commotion occurred in the village at the foot of the mountain.

Ding Xiu walked to the foot of the mountain and looked down, and saw that it was a large group of Jinyiwei rushing up the mountain through the village.
