He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Chapter 190 The General is a Love-Obsessed Man 13

After discussing it, the group decided to sell her tomorrow, somewhere far away, and make sure to negotiate a good price.

That night, Qu Yi was locked in a tidy room.

They were originally going to close the woodshed, but when they saw how dilapidated it was, they were afraid that something might bite or scratch her, making it difficult to negotiate a price later.

So they had someone prepare a clean room for her to live in and arranged for two people to guard outside.

It was late at night, and all was quiet outside.

Qu Yi opened his eyes, only to find it pitch black, so dark he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

She moved her hands behind her back, broke free of the ropes, and took the cloth out of her mouth and threw it away.

"Let me out...it hurts so much..."

Hearing the girl's soft voice from inside the house, the two guards were startled, then quickly opened the door, afraid that something might go wrong with her and affect the price. They had heard that this woman was worth a thousand taels.

They pushed open the door and entered. It was pitch black inside. The two walked toward the direction from which the sound came, but the room suddenly fell silent.

The two could not see each other's expressions in the darkness.

One of them was about to speak when he felt a sharp pain in his neck and immediately collapsed to the ground.

The other person had barely uttered a single word, "you," when a powerful blow struck the back of his neck, and he too collapsed.

Qu Yi walked past the two people and went outside. It was very quiet outside. She looked around and then took a step to the left.

At this moment, Zhao Yang was hurrying up the mountain, his steps quick and without stopping for a moment.

Under the moonlight, his bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.

He could only keep moving forward, not even daring to think about what might happen to her. Just thinking about certain scenes made him feel like he couldn't breathe, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart by a thousand knives, the pain almost driving him to the brink of collapse.

His vision blurred and Zhao Yang swayed slightly.

The people following behind quickly reached out to help him.

Be careful!

Zhao Yang squeezed his eyes shut and then walked forward: "Keep going."

Behind him, several men dressed in black exchanged glances, then looked away and followed.

They were not Zhao Yang's subordinates, but were sent by Zhu Mo to follow Zhao Yang. Although they obeyed Zhao Yang's orders, Zhao Yang was not their master, and they did not respect him that much.

Moreover, Zhao Yang is now going to such lengths for a woman, showing signs of a mental breakdown, which makes them feel that he is not very reliable.

They walked into the village from the darkness.

Zhao Yang found the village too quiet; apart from the chirping of insects and birds, there were no other sounds.

Very strange.

He waved his hand, and several men in black immediately retreated into the darkness to stand guard.

He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and stopped in his tracks.

There was a person lying on the ground.

Zhao Yang squatted down to check his breathing.

still alive.

The closer you get to the center of the village, the louder the voice becomes.

It sounds like someone is calling for help.

Could it be a veiled meaning?!

Zhao Yang quickened his pace.

They were stunned when they arrived at the destination.

His eyes were filled with stunned and bewildered expressions.

Qu Yi paused when she saw him, withdrew her hand from her chin, stood up and walked towards him.

"How did you come?"

"...Come, I'm here to find you."

"I am fine."

Zhao Yang glanced at the several men who were tightly bound, and at the man who was crouching in the corner with his head in his hands, trembling with fear.

"I see it."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright. As for her skills, he wasn't surprised at all.

Anyway, she wasn't really being subservient.

Abnormalities are normal.
