Zhao Min's beautiful face paled and she hurriedly raised her hand to defend herself. However, her martial arts were not as good as Wanyan Zhongjie's. In addition, the other party was not prepared for this. Just as she raised her hand, her throat was grabbed. Her heart sank. Is I, Minmin Temur, going to die here quietly today?
Wanyan Zhongjie had just grabbed Zhao Min's neck when Song Qingshu grabbed his wrist. Glaring at him, she asked, "Why are you grabbing me?"
Song Qingshu secretly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he was prepared. If Zhao Min's neck had been broken because of a moment of carelessness, it would have been too late for him to cry. "There's no hurry to kill her. If we can't get out, we can use her as a hostage."
"That's true." Wanyan Zhongjie nodded and sealed Zhao Min's acupoints.
"You actually know martial arts?" Zhao Min was still in a state of shock. Everyone in the capital thought that she was just a girl without the strength to truss a chicken. Who would have guessed that she was actually hiding such a high level of martial arts? At the same time, Zhao Min suddenly felt an irrepressible urge to ask Song Qingshu to teach her martial arts the next time she saw him. I've just been bullied by Zhou Zhiruo, and now I'm being bullied by another girl. How infuriating!
"You didn't expect this, did you?" Wanyan Zhongjie proudly raised his chin, his eyes curved into crescent moons.
"I miscalculated, but I don't really care about you." Zhao Min suddenly looked at Song Qingshu with a puzzled expression. "Didn't my subordinates seal his acupoints and lock him up? Why …"
"That's because his martial arts are much higher than mine. How could your scrap metal lock him up?"
Hearing Wanyan Zhongjie's reply, Zhao Min's expression changed. "Tang Kuo Bian is also an expert?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Who are you? I've been in the capital for so many years, how come I've never heard of a family with a Miss Zhao?" Wanyan Zhongjie pinched Zhao Min's chin and turned her head around.
A hint of anger flashed across Zhao Min's face, but she quickly concealed it. She replied with a smile, "Sister Zhongjie, I treated you quite well just now. Is this how you repay me?"
Wanyan Zhongjie curled his lips in disdain and said, "That's because you're stupid." Zhao Min's smile froze and she was rendered speechless.
"Don't change the subject. Just who are you?" Wanyan Zhongjie impatiently asked.
Zhao Min was infuriated and turned her head away.
"Were you the one behind the incident at the laundry yard?"
Zhao Min still didn't answer. Wanyan Zhongjie became impatient and said, "Are you serious? Do you believe that I won't scratch your pretty face?"
"You wouldn't dare. If you dare to hurt a single hair on my head, you won't be able to leave this place alive." Zhao Min looked at her and said coldly.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Wanyan Zhongjie frowned and looked around. Her expression changed. She had just noticed that this was a secret room, but now that she looked around, there wasn't even a door. How was she supposed to get out?
Seeing her reaction, Zhao Min sneered and said, "What do you think?"
Wanyan Zhongjie rolled her eyes and said in a cute voice, "Good sister, how about this? If you take us out, we'll let you go. From then on, we'll go our separate ways. How about it?"
Zhao Min snorted disdainfully and said, "Are you stupid or do you think I'm stupid? You've tried so hard to hide the fact that you know martial arts. Now that I know, how can you let me go?"
Song Qingshu looked at her in admiration and thought that she was indeed Zhao Min. Even in this kind of situation, she was still able to clearly analyze the situation.
Seeing that he couldn't fool Zhao Min, Wanyan Zhongjie gave up on pretending and said in a cold voice, "If you let us go, you might be able to live. If you don't, I'll scratch your face. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm sure many men like your pretty face. For example, that Song Qingshu you just mentioned?"
Hearing Song Qingshu's name, Zhao Min's expression changed and her eyes became complicated. "If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, you won't be able to walk out of here. Even if you're lucky enough to get out, he'll avenge me. Are you the Prince Consort?" She looked at Song Qingshu with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"How would I know?" Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhao Min had figured out his identity? That's impossible. At most, it's just a suspicion. She's probably just testing me.
Carefully observing his expression, Zhao Min saw that he didn't reveal anything strange. A trace of confusion flashed across her face.
Wanyan Zhongjie suddenly became impatient. He stretched out his fingernails and started scratching her face. "I don't have much patience. I'll count to three. If you still don't tell me how to get out, don't blame me for being impolite."
Zhao Min pursed her lips and didn't reply.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
Song Qingshu hurriedly stopped Wanyan Zhongjie's hand. What kind of joke was this? Zhao Min was one of his future wives. How could he let her scratch her face?
Noticing his actions, Zhao Min let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Why did you save this woman again and again?" Wanyan Zhongjie asked with a frown.
"It's such a waste to scratch such a beautiful woman's face." Song Qingshu deliberately used a rough tone as he spoke.
"You already have my aunt, such a beautiful wife. Why are you still thinking about other women?" Wanyan Zhongjie said angrily. "Fine, I don't care anymore. I'll leave the matter of getting out to you."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Actually, there's no need to do this. I know how to get out."
"You know how to get out?" Wanyan Zhongjie asked curiously. Even Zhao Min turned to look at him.
Song Qingshu nodded and began to search the surrounding walls of the room. Before long, he found a protrusion. He pulled it to the side, revealing a secret compartment. Inside was a bronze door knocker.
"Huh?" Wanyan Zhongjie ran over excitedly and tried to pull it open. However, after trying a few times, it didn't budge. He became discouraged again. "There's no door. What's the use of a door knocker?"
Zhao Min, who had been nervous all this time, finally let out a sigh of relief. Hmph, a blind cat bumped into a dead mouse.
However, her eyes quickly widened. Song Qingshu pulled on the door knocker without hesitation. He knocked on it seven or eight times, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes long and sometimes short. As soon as the knocking stopped, there was a clicking sound. A beam of moonlight shone into the room, and a hidden door opened.
"How did you know my secret code?" Zhao Min was completely confused. This was the first time she felt a chill down her spine.
"That's right. How did you know how to open the door?" Wanyan Zhongjie asked curiously.
