Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Yan Xiuchen took Yan Lin hostage and entered the peach forest, the secret sentry in the forest immediately rushed back to Taohua Manor.

Shen Zhuoqi received the news and hurriedly knocked on Shen Zhuowen's door.

"Brother, it's bad. Yan Lin has been captured. Yan Xiuchen has already brought him to the peach forest and is coming here now."

"You are a person who can't do anything for you, but always causes trouble." Shen Zhuowen scolded him angrily, but he was not panicked at all.

He walked out the door, raised his hand and whistled.

In an instant, many black-clad secret guards emerged from all over the village.

There were also some members of the Shen family who had been rescued from prison before.

"Shen Yu, you are good at Qinggong, take the crossbow team to Taolin to intercept them. Yan Lin...save him if you can, and try to delay the time."

"Shen Ming, take a few secret guards to explore the way from the back door and wait for the young lady at the exit of the peach forest."

"Zhuo Qi, you and Wanrong go take Gu Yanbai and Jiang Qingwu away and wait at the West City stronghold."

"The others follow me."

"Everyone, those who survived, will gather at the west city gate in two days. If you die, I will give your family a hundred times the compensation."

After Shen Zhuowen arranged everyone, they all knelt down and agreed, "Yes, sir, I obey your command."

In the dungeon, Jiang Qingwu didn't know how much time had passed.

Leaning against the wall, half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard a slight noise.

Although the voice was very small, Jiang Qingwu suddenly opened his eyes alertly.

Looking at the smoke coming in from outside, Jiang Qingwu immediately stood up, poured the water in the kettle on the table onto his clothes, and then turned back to Gu Yanbai.

"Wake up, there's smoke..."

Gu Yanbai was in a daze as Jiang Qingwu covered his mouth, and he was vaguely aware of something.

After a long time, the smoke dissipated, and footsteps and Shen Wanrong's voice were heard outside the door.

"Take them away." Shen Wanrong ordered her men.

After hearing Shen Wanrong's instructions, Jiang Qingwu gestured to Gu Yanbai, who was already listless and weak, and just nodded slightly.

Looking at the people walking into the cell, Jiang Qingwu pretended not to see or hear anything.

He let several people pull himself and Gu Yanbai up and take them out of the cell.

It was not until they walked out of the dungeon that Jiang Qingwu suddenly attacked. He pulled out a hairpin and stabbed it into the neck of his opponent, then quickly pulled it out and turned around to cut the neck of another person.

Gu Yanbai, who was standing behind him, saw Jiang Qingwu taking action and immediately fought back, elbowing him and then turning around to kick him in the chest.

However, his body had not fully recovered yet, and when he kicked the opponent away, he fell to the ground as well.

No one reacted until Shen Wanrong, who was walking in front, came to her senses.

Jiang Qingwu was already holding the bloody hairpin in one hand and the knife he had snatched from his opponent in the other.

He stood in front of Gu Yanbai, staring at Shen Wanrong with murderous eyes.

"You... didn't faint..."

Shen Wanrong scolded angrily, looking at Gu Yanbai who was lying on the ground, then looked at Jiang Qingwu, and seeing that neither of them were wearing outer robes, she couldn't help but sneer.

"As expected, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Even though he treats you like this, you are willing to protect him."

Gu Yanbai covered his chest, supported himself on the rockery beside him, and climbed up with great effort, "You, you go first, don't worry about me."

Jiang Qingwu ignored Gu Yanbai and pointed the knife in his hand towards Shen Wanrong.

"It's the middle of the night and they want to take us away..."

"I guess... it's not safe here anymore."

"Let me guess again... Yan Xiuchen, you're here, right?"

As Jiang Qingwu spoke, a light laugh came out, "This is Yan Lin's Taohua Manor. As long as it takes some time, Yan Xiuchen will be able to find it."

"So what? What if he found it? This place is just a trap for him..."

"Besides, now that you have given him such a big hat, the show will be more interesting if you find him."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Shen Wanrong's arrogant and complacent face and immediately became furious.

"You're looking for death." Jiang Qingwu was furious, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and as he swung the knife, he threw the hairpin in his hand towards Shen Wanrong.

Shen Wanrong retreated repeatedly, but was blocked by Shen Zhuoqi's knife.

But by the time Shen Wanrong stood still and Shen Zhuoqi came to his senses, three of the four secret guards blocking the way had already been killed by Jiang Qingwu.

With sharp skills and ruthless moves, he pressed towards Shen Zhuoqi with an unstoppable look.

"Let's go." Shen Zhuoqi pushed Shen Wanrong and walked towards Jiang Qingwu.

But Shen Wanrong was not willing to give up. Looking at Gu Yanbai leaning against the rockery, she picked up the knife and crossbow on the ground and went towards Gu Yanbai.

A crossbow arrow shot over, and Gu Yanbai was able to barely dodge it, but the next moment he was immediately met with Shen Wanrong's knife.

Although Shen Wanrong doesn't have any martial arts skills, she has experienced so much in the past six months and has acquired some skills.

Gu Yanbai dodged several times, but was scratched on the arm by Shen Wanrong's knife and fell heavily to the ground.

"Stop..." Shen Wanrong's shout was heard, and Jiang Qingwu immediately stopped.

Seeing the knife on Gu Yanbai's neck, Jiang Qingwu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Are you...something wrong with you? If I treat her like that, she will definitely not care about me..."

"You use me to threaten her... will it work?" Gu Yanbai covered his arm, frowned, and leaned against a stone pier with a painful look on his face.

Shen Wanrong was also a little nervous when she heard this. She looked up at Jiang Qingwu and said, "Jiang Qingwu, let me remind you that the reason why Gu Yanbai was arrested was because of this."

"It was because of you that he surrendered and was willing to be captured in the Marquis' Mansion with the knife on your neck."

"If you just run away like this..."

As she spoke, Shen Wanrong moved her knife closer to Gu Yanbai.

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened and he couldn't help but panic.

No matter what, Gu Yanbai's life is important.

If she surrendered and went with them, Shen Wanrong and the others would not kill them easily.

But if I don't go with them, they will really hurt Gu Yanbai.

"Jiang Qingwu, I'll count to three, one..." Shen Wanrong shouted, and the blade went deeper.

Jiang Qingwu watched the blade cut through Gu Yanbai's neck and subconsciously threw the knife in his hand, "Let him go."

Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly, and when he looked at Jiang Qingwu, he happened to meet her gaze.

"Stupid woman."

Shen Wanrong heard Gu Yanbai's low curse, secretly raised the corners of her lips, and moved closer to Gu Yanbai.

"Admit it, you like this stupid woman."

Gu Yanbai's eyebrows tightened, and he looked up at Shen Wanrong, his eyes flashing fiercely, "Bitch."

Shen Wanrong snorted coldly, and did not argue. She stood up and shouted at Jiang Qingwu, "Come here by yourself..."

As he spoke, he gestured to Shen Zhuoqi who was standing beside him.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuoqi approached Jiang Qingwu with a sword.

Jiang Qingwu had no intention of resisting and walked towards Shen Wanrong and Shen Zhuoqi slowly.

But just as he was about to get there, he suddenly heard Yan Xiuchen's voice from behind.

"So I'm in love..."
