Yu Jinzhi couldn't say anything to refute. Those were the elders of the Yu family. How could she just watch them die like that?

"Come here." Xie Yuxiu repeated again.

Yu Jinzhi still didn't make any move. On the contrary, Xie Zhao...

"Zhizhi." He called out.

Yu Jinzhi knew what Xie Zhao wanted to say to her, and she suddenly felt it was quite boring. Why did everyone force her?

"I'm just a little tired..." Yu Jinzhi's voice was filled with fatigue.

Yu Jinzhi's gaze fell on the servants of the Yu family lying on the ground. Many of them were familiar faces because they had always been serving in the Yu family.

"I just want to see my father for the last time..." Yu Jinzhi seemed to have compromised, so she almost used a negotiating tone.

"I will ask someone to bring the body back." This was the answer given by Xie Yuxiu.

He didn't want Yu Jinzhi to leave the palace like this, so he chose such a roundabout way.

"Xie Yuxiu, General Yu's death has everything to do with you. Why are you pretending now? Do you think I will let someone hand over General Yu's body to you?" Xie Zhao's words were sharp, and he directly put the blame for Yu Sheng's death on Xie Yuxiu.

Xie Yuxiu did not show any sign of anger because he did not take Xie Zhao seriously at all.

"There is nothing I want that I cannot get. Do you think you can get out alive today?" Xie Yuxiu sneered.

"Sun Jing is just outside the city. If I can't get out, the entire Holy Capital will be in turmoil today." Xie Zhao was going to bet the entire capital.

What a pity. What kind of person is Xie Yuxiu? How could he care about what the capital is like?

"You think too well of me. Should I be grateful to you?" As soon as Xie Yuxiu finished speaking, the people behind him rushed forward.

Xie Zhao didn't have two people around him, so he was definitely no match for these people. Yu Jinzhi was blocked behind him, and the situation was a bit stalemate for a while.

"Hold me hostage." Yu Jinzhi whispered these few words beside Xie Zhao. No one could hear it except Xie Zhao who was closest to her.

Xie Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and the next moment he pulled Yu Jinzhi out from behind him and put the sword in his hand against her neck.

Xie Yuxiu's eyes deepened slightly and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

"Since I'm already a desperado, what can't I do? Xie Yuxiu, do you still want to stop me now?" Xie Zhao asked.

Xie Yuxiu didn't look at him, but instead kept his eyes on Yu Jinzhi's face.

"You want to go with someone like this?" he asked again.

Yu Jinzhi did not give a clear answer, but just said: "Do I have the right to choose?"

"Oh, you really care about him, but have you ever thought that he would really kill you?" Xie Yuxiu said.

"After all, I don't want to live anymore. What's the point of living alone in a cage forever?" Yu Jinzhi asked back.

"Do you still think that I just want to trap you?" When Xie Yuxiu heard this, he felt a subtle pain in his heart.

"At least I don't like it and I don't feel respected." Yu Jinzhi answered him.

"You guys are really... awesome!" Xie Yuxiu's eyes were red, and the emotions in them were surging more and more crazy.

He took a long sword from Wang Yi's hand and walked forward step by step.

"None of you can escape today. If you really want to die, I will kill a few more people to die with you." Xie Yuxiu had just finished saying this when Xie Zhao had already cut the skin on Yu Jinzhi's neck with the sword in his hand.

Yu Jinzhi also felt the pain, but was able to bear it. On the other hand, Xie Zhao... seemed to have more murderous intent in his eyes.

"Why do you think you can threaten me by doing this? Yu Jinzhi, I have already given you a chance. If you don't cherish it, even if you die, I will keep your body by my side forever. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try." Xie Yuxiu's words became more and more crazy.

Yu Jinzhi only felt a chill on her back. Xie Zhao was holding her hostage and retreating step by step.

"Xie Yuxiu, you are so pathetic." Xie Zhao added fuel to the fire.

"What? You don't dare to do it?" Xie Yuxiu didn't care and kept urging Xie Zhao to take action quickly.

Cold sweat had begun to appear on Xie Zhao's forehead. He kept clenching the handle of the knife in his hand, but he still didn't dare to actually take action.

He didn't know whether he was reluctant or afraid. After all, the only trump card he had in his hand was Yu Jinzhi.

Perhaps Yu Jinzhi saw this, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her mind. Finally, she closed her eyes, made up her mind, and rushed directly towards the direction of the blade.

Although Xie Yuxiu appeared to be extremely calm, for a brief moment, panic was revealed in his eyes, but no one noticed.

Xie Zhao also sensed Yu Jinzhi's action at the first moment, so he subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but his action was a little slow.

Yu Jinzhi's fair neck was still scratched by the sword. Although it was not serious, the blood flowing out was still shocking to look at.

She reacted quickly and immediately pulled out the hairpin on her head and put it against her neck. Xie Yuxiu's move to move forward was instantly stopped. Xie Zhao also looked at Yu Jinzhi in disbelief.

If I had been a little slower, Yu Jinzhi might have really died. How dare she...

"No one is allowed to come over." Yu Jinzhi's tone was unexpectedly calm.

Xie Yuxiu's eyes were filled with rage: "Yu! Jin! Zhi!" He uttered these three words almost word by word.

It was obvious that the scene just now scared all of them.

"I can't decide anything, but at least I can decide my own death." Yu Jinzhi said.

"Zhizhi, put your things down..." Xie Zhao also became visibly nervous.

"If I put it down, I may never have the chance to lift it up again." Yu Jinzhi said, then looked up at the towering city wall.

Xie Yuxiu guessed her thoughts almost instantly: "What do you want to do?"

"That day I was standing on the city wall and watched my father leave..." said Yu Jinzhi.

"Yu Jinzhi, I think you really don't care about the lives of the servants of the Yu family, right?!" Xie Yuxiu obviously no longer had the composure he had just now.

Just now he could probably guess that Xie Zhao didn't dare to really kill Yu Jinzhi, but now he couldn't guarantee that Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to really kill him, so now he finally began to panic.
