Now, she stayed here to buy time for her brother to escape.

Judging from the sky, they should have left the garrison.

Just delay a little longer until they are safely out of the country.

"Don't think I dare not kill you." Shangguan Jin's fingers suddenly tightened. Jiang Xue frowned slightly and felt severe pain in her chest due to lack of oxygen.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't actually dare to do that, right?" Even though she was having difficulty breathing, Jiang Xue still insisted on speaking. She would never allow herself to show any weakness in front of the enemy.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Jin narrowed his eyes threateningly.

How dare this woman question his courage.

"Hehe, if you leave me here, at least there is a chance to make your brother change his mind; if you kill me, do you think he will be willing to come back? Hostages are useful only if they are alive, otherwise what's the bargaining chip?" Jiang Xue finished speaking quickly while using the last bit of oxygen.

Shangguan Jin was stunned, looked at Jiang Xue deeply and then let go of her hand.

Jiang Xue, who finally got a chance to catch her breath, greedily inhaled the air, leaving obvious finger marks on her neck. "I really used too much force, I almost suffocated."

"Come here, tie her up and hang her on the city gate tower." Shangguan Jin ordered.

As Jiang Xue said, only living hostages can be of value.

As long as she is alive, the rest will be decided by him. Huaichen, watch carefully, if you don't come back, what fate your sister will suffer, I don't believe you will have the heart to see her suffer.

"Yes, sir!" The guards at the door came in, holding ropes tightly in their hands, ready to attack Jiang Xue.

But before they could get close, Jiang Xue had knocked them to the ground one by one. Looking at the guards screaming in pain on the ground, Shangguan Jin was full of murderous intent.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm not someone who can be manipulated by anyone." Jiang Xue gently touched the golden needles in her sleeve, knowing in her heart that the few remaining ones were not enough to deal with the next round of attacks.

"An Yun." Shangguan Jin said the name coldly, and a cold light flashed in Jiang Xue's eyes.

"Your Highness is extremely clever. He even uses such a despicable method as hostages so skillfully."

Her hand slowly moved to the pistol hanging at her waist, and An Yun's innocent face appeared in her mind.

An Yun was the most innocent child she had met in Beixi, and Jiang Xue treated her like her own sister.

And now, Shangguan Jin plans to use Anyun to restrain his actions.

"I advise you to put your hands down. You should know that once you open fire, everyone within half a mile of the Prince's residence will know about it. Injuring the Prince is a serious crime. Do you want that innocent girl to be implicated in the Inner Court because of your actions?"

Indeed, this woman was not invulnerable, and An Yun was her weak spot. If the hand gun made a sound, even if An Yun knew nothing about it, she would face severe punishment for having made the weapon.

"Even if you don't use the pistol, it's not that easy to deal with me." Jiang Xue withdrew her hand and confronted Shangguan Jin. There was a strong hostility between the two, which made the servants around them terrified.

Normally, the prince always gives people the impression of being gentle, amiable and amiable.

Even when he was angry, he had never had such a terrible murderous aura. But today was completely different. He looked as terrifying as a Shura from hell.

In Huyin City, the fate of the little girl seemed to depend on Shangguan Jin's words.

He said coldly: "As long as there is a mistake in the hand gun she made, it will be easy to catch her."

"Your Highness, don't you think it is too despicable to attack a harmless little girl?" Jiang Xue asked.

"In order to achieve the goal, it is worth sacrificing a little woman." Shangguan Jin did not hide his indifference.

"Your so-called purpose is nothing more than satisfying your own selfish desires." Jiang Xue said disdainfully, "You knew Bei Xi's attitude towards homosexuality, but you still forced my brother to get involved. In order to make my brother return to the fairyland, you used all kinds of threats, which is really disgusting."

"Disgusting..." Shangguan Jin repeated the word and laughed almost crazily, "Princess Changle, if you are willing, I can let you slowly experience more disgusting things."

Just like he had used the same method to force his father to depose the former crown prince.

"Enough, I don't have time to chat with you. Make your own choice, do you want to be hung on the city wall by me, or watch that little girl being tortured?" Shangguan Jin put away his smile, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

This woman is not only smart, but also proficient in martial arts and poisons, each of which is difficult to deal with. Fortunately, An Yun is a trump card, otherwise I really don’t know how to check and balance her. It seems that An Yun must be separated from the Mo family and directly supervised by the Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Xue snorted, lowered her guard, and stretched out her hands to let the guards tie her wrists.

"I hope you won't regret what you did today." She whispered as she passed by Shangguan Jin.

"Regret? Never." Shangguan Jin replied.

Soon after, a group of onlookers gathered under the city wall. They looked up at Jiang Xue who was hanging high up and talked a lot.

"Whose family is this lady? Why is she hung on the city wall like this?"

"Looking at her attire, she must be from an extraordinary family. Maybe she's the daughter of some noble?"

"How could a child from a noble family be treated like this?"

The sun was scorching and merciless, and Jiang Xue was soon sweating profusely and her body was rapidly dehydrated. She smiled bitterly and looked down at the curious crowd below.

The guard asked if Jiang Xue could have some water to drink, but the captain refused.

"Give her water? She has offended the prince. Who will be responsible if something happens? I don't dare to take the risk." The captain snatched the kettle and drank it himself.

Jiang Xue's pale and beautiful face came into view, and an evil thought surged in the leader's heart.

"My beauty, I can't give you this water directly, but I can feed you with my mouth. This way, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks, you just drank some of my saliva. How about that? Hahaha!"

He took a sip of water and walked towards the wall.

"Boss, this is not appropriate." The soldier who brought the water frowned, dissatisfied with the boss's bad behavior.

He reached out to try to stop them, but was roughly pushed to the ground by the leader.

The leader held the water in his mouth, laughed in a low voice, and gave Jiang Xue an obscene smile. Thinking of such a noble and elegant woman accepting the water in his mouth, a twisted pleasure rose in his heart.

Feeling the other party's ill intentions, Jiang Xue slowly opened her eyes, with a cold murderous look in her eyes.

The market was bustling with people. An Yun held a handful of snacks and looked at Mo Chenjun who was in a trance beside him.

"What's wrong? You've been absent-minded since you came out this morning." She waved her hands in front of Mo Chenjun and called out loudly, finally bringing him back to reality.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Mo Chenjun had just come to his senses when An Yun stuffed a sour date into his mouth. Immediately, his handsome face was distorted by the sourness.
