Chapter 93
Hearing Yan Lingji's words, Su Xuan turned his head and looked at Yan Lingji, saying, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the bet."
Because of the bet, after another punch crippled Tian Ze's other arm, Su Xuan didn't continue to attack Tian Ze, but said softly, "You go, I won't kill you!"
Tian Ze's hands were in severe pain, but he still forcibly endured it. This kind of severe pain from injury didn't even reach the pain brought by testing gu for Bai Yifei in the past ten years.
Cold sweat flowed down from his pale forehead. He looked at Yan Lingji and asked in a deep voice, "What bet?"
After listening to Yan Lingji and Su Xuan's words, how could he not know that Su Xuan was willing to spare him and that he could survive was all due to some bet.
Yan Lingji's expression was complex, and she didn't know how to answer this question.
Su Xuan didn't have so many scruples and answered Tian Ze's question, "The so-called bet is that I spare your life, and as a price, Yan Lingji must serve me as her master and become my slave!"
"How about it? Do you think you made a profit?"
"You only need to sacrifice one subordinate to exchange for your own life. During the battle of Baiyue years ago, if Bai Yifei had been willing to make such a bet with you, you wouldn't have been tortured for ten years!"
Is it a profit?
After hearing Su Xuan's words and knowing the truth of the bet.
Tian Ze not only didn't feel a profit, but felt deep humiliation and anger.
Admittedly, last night, after Bai Yifei told him the news that Yan Lingji had failed and been captured, he showed a disdainful attitude towards his subordinates and even said that she had no value and was not worth rescuing.
But that was what he said. In his heart, he still cared about his few subordinates.
In the end, it was because adversity reveals true feelings.
After he fell into trouble and saw the light of day again, only these few subordinates were willing to respond to his call and gather under his command. Of course, he had to cherish these few subordinates.
If it were ten years ago, when he was still the Crown Prince of Baiyue, with many talented people under his command, sacrificing those few people to exchange for his own safety, he would definitely have done it without hesitation.
"Who allowed you to make a bet with him?" Tian Ze looked at Yan Lingji, his voice filled with anger.
"Master, I..."
Yan Lingji was very aggrieved. She didn't expect her master to be so vulnerable and really lose.
If you were a little more powerful and defeated this person, this bet wouldn't have become like this. On the contrary, you could have gained a capable subordinate.
"My life does not need a woman to exchange for it with herself!" Tian Ze's voice was low, expressing his attitude.
He looked at Su Xuan with killing intent again, "Kill or cut, whatever you want!"
After losing to Su Xuan and knowing the content of the bet, he had already figured it out.
Since he couldn't be a hero while alive, even if he died, he had to die uprightly.
He had already compromised with Bai Yifei once, and he didn't want to compromise with anyone again.
"You have backbone!"
Su Xuan praised.
Afterwards, in Yan Lingji's shocked expression, he walked towards Tian Ze.
Tian Ze slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, and then found his body suspended in the air.
He couldn't help but open his eyes.
He only saw Su Xuan carrying him with one hand, then walked to the door and threw him out directly.
Tian Ze's body smashed fiercely on the cold ground, and another pain came, but compared to the pain on his body, his heart was confused.
This person, let him go?
Is it because of the bet between him and Yan Lingji?
His life actually needed a woman to sacrifice herself to preserve it. What is he still...
The two words "a man" had not yet appeared in his mind when another dull sound rang out, and Tian Ze's thinking came to an abrupt end, because Wushuang Gui was also thrown out fiercely by Su Xuan. Whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, Wushuang Gui's body happened to press on Tian Ze.
Wushuang Gui's figure was tall and burly, which meant that his weight was much heavier than ordinary people.
If it were a thin person, being smashed by him like that, it would be possible to die on the spot.
Tian Ze was smashed by Wushuang Gui, and the fact that he didn't die on the spot was due to his extraordinary talent.
He lay on the ground for a long time.
Fortunately, the few guards guarding near Su Xuan's door had been killed by Tian Ze earlier, otherwise, when he was lying on the ground thinking about life, he would have been captured long ago.
Tian Ze once wanted to go to Su Xuan again and let Su Xuan give him a quick death.
But in the end, he gave up.
He and Wushuang Gui stood up with difficulty.
Wushuang Gui's internal organs felt severe pain, so his voice sounded a bit hoarse, "Master, what should we do next..."
Continue to rescue Yan Lingji?
It seems she can't be rescued!
Tian Ze pondered for a moment and soon had a plan.
"The Han Wang's people captured Yan Lingji, so I will also make the Han Wang regret it!"
In fact, he hoped Su Xuan would regret it more.
Regret letting him go.
Since that person let him go because of the bet with Yan Lingji, if he didn't do something, it would really be unjustifiable.
"What? Tian Ze, the leader of the Baiyue rebels, broke into Mr. Su's place, intended to rescue the enchantress but failed, and then kidnapped Honglian?"
In the bedchamber, the Han Wang, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened.
And then, after learning what had happened, he was suddenly angry, and the anger couldn't help but rush into his head.
Fortunately, during this period of time, he had been taking the elixirs refined by Su Xuan, and his physical condition had improved.
Otherwise, hearing such bad news, plus the fact that the Baiyue rebels had not been brought to justice, leading to unresolved worries, in a fit of shock and anger, he might have fainted just like in the original work.
Afterwards, the Han Wang ignored that it was still the middle of the night.
He summoned the ministers on the spot and started the court meeting.
Last night, Yan Lingji broke into the palace, which already showed that the palace guards were like nothing to that group of Baiyue rebels, but Yan Lingji had paid the price for her actions after all. She was captured.
As a result, no one expected that tonight, the Baiyue rebels broke into the palace again, first intending to rescue Yan Lingji. Tian Ze was not Su Xuan's opponent and failed to rescue Yan Lingji, which was considered good news, but the premise was that there was no subsequent kidnapping of Honglian.
This group of Baiyue rebels simply regarded the laws of Han as nothing and the palace guard force as nothing.
Yesterday Yan Lingji could trespass into the palace hall, today, the Baiyue rebels trespassed into the palace and kidnapped Princess Honglian. Does that mean that tomorrow the Baiyue rebels can break into the palace again and attack him?
Without saying a word, as soon as the court meeting started, the Han Wang scolded Ji Wuye.
