Shen Muli squinted his eyes, and the smile on his lips became more meaningful.

"You want her..."

Zhao Pei took a deep breath and clenched his fingers one by one.

"Okay, how about you kneel down for me?" Shen Muli just wanted to see how far the superior General Zhao could go for a Wu Clan woman.

Zhao Pei frowned and looked at Shen Muli coldly.

"Can't do it?" Shen Muli smiled. "Take it away."

"Shen Muli!" Zhao Pei raised his hand to stop Shen Muli, held back for a long time, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Everyone looked at Zhao Pei in shock. He actually... didn't even give up his dignity for a woman from the Fireworks Tower.

He actually knelt down and looked at Mu Li.

Shen Muli was also stunned for a moment, his eyes darkened.

Zhao Pei, kneeling to him for a woman, was something he never expected.

"She is a woman from the Wu Clan. Someone from the Wu Clan predicted that you will die in her hands." Shen Muli said something meaningful, and had Xinghua taken away.

Xinghua looked back at Lian'er and breathed a sigh of relief.

A cruel person like Zhao Pei was actually willing to kneel down to save her.

At least Xing Lian's life will not be in danger.

He...can leave with peace of mind.

…

After Shen Muli left, Zuiyan Tower became quiet.

The madam looked at Zhao Pei nervously, his jaw dropped in shock.

Everyone in Zuiyan Tower knew that Zhao Pei had fallen in love with their oiran. He kept her under his care all year round and did not allow her to receive guests. She belonged to him alone, but he never mentioned the matter of redeeming her life.

Everyone guessed that Lian'er was just a plaything of Zhao Pei. After all, one was a general with supreme power and the other was a woman from the land of fireworks.

For the sake of the Zhao family's face, Zhao Pei would never redeem himself for a dancing girl and bring her back to the general's mansion.

This would make him a joke in the city of Kyoto.

Obviously, Zhao Pei did the same thing. He could pamper Lian'er and give her everything, but he would not redeem her life or take her back to the general's mansion.

But he was able to kneel down to Shen Muli in order to save her.

Before Shen Muli left, he said that he would die at the hands of a Wu Clan woman, and he was probably referring to Lian'er.

"What are you looking at? Let's go back to our rooms. Do we want to die?" The madam said in a deep voice, and all the girls left.

The madam didn't dare to mention anything else. After all, Lian'er was a member of the Wu clan and a death row prisoner.

Lian'er's face was very pale and she looked at Zhao Pei quietly. The feeling in her heart was... very strange.

She doesn't love Zhao Pei, she just has to please Zhao Pei in order to survive.

She can cooperate with Zhao Pei in everything, coax him, admire him, everything can be disguised.

She knew that Zhao Pei didn't love her that much, and everything was just about getting what he wanted.

But Zhao Pei rescued her from Shen Muli, which made her confused.

"A member of the Wu tribe?" Zhao Pei walked up to Lian'er and asked in a deep voice.

Lian'er was trembling all over. She didn't think that... after her identity was exposed, it would be better to fall into the hands of Zhao Pei than the Shenxing Division.

"I didn't... do anything, I just wanted to live. I'm not... a spy." Lian'er looked up as she cried, her eyes red.

But obviously, Zhao Pei didn't trust her.

His eyes were cold, and so was his air pressure.

Maybe he just didn't have enough fun and wasn't willing to let her die in the Punishment Department.

"You have been lying to me." Zhao Pei held Lian'er's chin, leaned over, and spoke with strong anger. "What's your real name..."

He didn't know why he insisted on knowing her name.

Lian'er bit the corner of her lip in pain, and her eyes became even redder, like a little rabbit.

"Xing Lian."

Her name is Xing Lian.

"Ha..." Zhao Pei laughed sarcastically and took the person away. "From now on, your life belongs to me."

Lian'er's whole body was trembling, she knew... what she would face next.

Zhao Pei is not a good person, he will not save her for no reason.

I will never... let her go easily.

…

Jiangnan City.

Chao Ge looked at the man drinking tea beside him and teased him with a smile. "Young Master, you are so handsome."

"..." Yu Heng was speechless.

"Sir, are you getting married?"

"..." Yu Heng raised his hand to block his forehead. Must this woman be so eye-catching in public?

"What are you afraid of? The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. If I tease you, who would have guessed that we know each other." Chaoge walked up to Yu Heng and raised his hand to lift his chin. "The young master is so handsome, and he is not married.

If so, how about you consider me?"

Yu Heng took a deep breath. "The Southwest King has already developed a rift with the Crown Prince and the Emperor. Next... is the Zhennan King and the Pang family, but your situation is dangerous, and this matter must be considered in the long run."

Chao Ge continued to tease Yu Heng, slowly approaching his ear. She really looked like a female gangster teasing a handsome young man. "Okay, let's take a long-term view..."

"I'll go to Ximan first, you have to be careful with the Zhao family." Yu Heng reminded.

"And..." After a long silence, Yu Heng spoke again. "Have you ever foreseen your future?"

Chao Ge was stunned for a moment and did not answer.

Yu Heng took a deep breath. "Kill He Lianxiao."

He wanted Chao Ge to kill He Lianxiao.

Because He Lianxiao was her disaster.

Yu Heng had foreseen that Chao Ge would die in the hands of He Lianxiao.

"He will die in my hands." Chao Ge said lightly.

"I hope... you can really do it." After Yu Heng said that, he pushed Chao Ge away, stood up and left.

Chao Ge smiled and said nothing.

After Yu Heng left, Chao Ge started teasing the handsome young man at the table again for the sake of authenticity of his acting skills. "Young Master, are you getting married?"

The young master was drinking tea and his face was red. "You...what do you want to do? What a decent girl's family."

Chao Ge smiled, raised his hand and grabbed the young master's finger. "I want..."

"You want to die." Behind him, He Lianxiao was holding his daughter Hong and a bag of jujube cakes, and he lifted Chaoge's back collar with one hand with a gloomy face.

Chao Ge felt disappointed and looked back at He Lianxiao. "Okay... you kill me."

He Lianxiao threw the things into Chao Ge's arms, lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, you have to die on my bed."

"..." Chaoge thought he was thick-skinned and shameless enough, but he still lost.

"Stop attracting bees and butterflies to me on the street, are you angry with me?" He Lianxiao carried the person into the inn room and threw him on the bed.

Chaoge hugged the two jars of wine tightly in his arms, the wine was more than He Lianxiao's life.

He Lianxiao looked very unhappy and was obviously still angry.

Chao Ge ignored He Lianxiao, opened the paper, ate a piece of jujube cake, and took a sip of wine.

"That's the taste." Chaoge likes to drink, and Nuerhong is obviously a good wine.

"Get some sleep, we have to travel tonight." He Lianxiao helped Chao Ge take off his shoes and socks, his movements were very natural.

Chao Ge was stunned for a while, but He Lianxiao... seemed to be doing it very skillfully.

Chao Ge knew that He Lianxiao always liked to pamper the little fool in the past and would not let her do anything. He even had to take off his clothes himself.

"The wine is good, but seeing you makes me unhappy." Chao Ge said coldly and unconsciously swayed his two white and tender feet.

He Lianxiao took a deep breath, invisible teasing was the most deadly.

"Does the wine taste good?" He Lianxiao asked in a hoarse voice.

"Nonsense." Chaoge took a sip of wine.
