The Jade Extraction Bottle!
Shu 'er, don't be afraid!
It was said that the Jade Extraction Bottle contained the last bit of wine left behind by the Old Master!
The best wine in the world.
Once, someone had offered a high price for it, but the Old Master refused to sell it.
If the wine was sold, the Zhao family would not have to worry about food and drink for generations to come.
However, after the Old Master passed away, he left the Twin Tiger Daggers to Zhao Huai, and the Jade Extraction Bottle to Zhao Qing.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Huai felt indignant. In a fit of anger, he turned the family winemaking business into a bandit lair.
Zhao Qing had always followed Zhao Huai's advice since he was young, so he did not stop him. He was willing to be the second-in-command of the bandits and be labeled as a 'robber'.
When he heard Zhao Qing give him the Jade Extraction Bottle, Zhao Huai was stunned.
His pupils dilated and constricted.
Back and forth a few times …
Zhao Qing continued, "If you really didn't put the bones in there on purpose, then since we brewed this wine together to commemorate Father, I have the right to know who did it. Don't you want to know too? If you promise to let those people go, I can even give you the Jade Extraction Bottle that Father left for me. "
This was his condition!
Obviously, Zhao Qing knew Zhao Huai's weakness very well.
The Jade Extraction Bottle left behind by the Old Master. That brat had dreamed of getting it so many times.
But …
Zhao Huai was hesitant.
He looked at his brothers around him and made up his mind. He frowned and said to Zhao Qing, "Thirty to forty of my brothers were killed by them. If I let them go just like that, where would the Gaoshan Gang's reputation go? How would I answer to my dead brothers? "
He clenched his fists and hesitated.
On one hand, he could not answer to his brothers. On the other hand, he wanted the Jade Extraction Bottle even in his dreams!
What should he do?
Zhao Qing said, "Then have you thought about it? Those people are all highly skilled. Do you know their background? What if they are from the imperial court? If you kill them, the Gaoshan Gang will really be gone. "
In addition to reminding him, he also tried to persuade him.
Da Chui, who was by Zhao Huai's side, paced back and forth. He hurried to his side and said, "First Master, please don't be swayed. Those people aren't from the Imperial Court. Their carriages and luggage don't have any emblems of the Imperial Court. I think they're just a bunch of ordinary people. We have thirty to forty brothers who have risked their lives with us all these years. We can't let them die just like that.
"…"
"Boss, you have to think this through!" Big Hammer said bitterly.
It was as if a black angel or a white angel was shouting in Zhao Huai's ears.
His long, narrow eyes narrowed, and then--
He quickly reached out and grabbed Ji Yunshu's delicate neck.
"Shu 'er."
Wei Yi shouted as he was forced to the side and caught by Da Chui.
Although Ji Yunshu was startled by this small action, she wasn't afraid. That was because when his gaze fell on her, although it was fierce, it didn't contain any killing intent.
"Tell me, who are you people?" Zhao Huai demanded.
Ji Yunshu was forced to raise her head to look at him. Due to the force of his grip on her neck, her throat was constricted and it was difficult for her to speak.
She could only muster a bit of strength to say, "You can … try to kill me. Let's see if your people … can survive."
Her face was flushed and her eyes were cold.
Seeing that she was on the verge of suffocation, Zhao Huai relaxed his grip and flung her away.
Ji Yunshu fell to the ground, her palms bleeding from the rubbing.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Huai turned to Wei Yi and used the same method to grab his neck, but he didn't use any strength.
"Since she doesn't want to tell me, you idiot, you better tell me honestly. Otherwise, I'll kill her."
He pointed at Ji Yunshu.
Wei Yi's eyes widened as he looked at Ji Yunshu, who was frowning on the ground. He twisted his body and confessed.
"My father is Xin Wei and my mother is Xin Liu. We live in Jinjiang. Shu 'er's surname is Ji, but I don't know her father's name. I don't know her mother either, but I heard from my mother that Shu' er's mother passed away a long time ago. Shu 'er is really pitiful. We grew up in Jinjiang, and it was the doormat that brought us here. If you want to catch someone, catch him, but don't kill my Shu' er. My mother said that I must take good care of Shu 'er and not let her get hurt. As a man, I can't go back on my words.
Zhao Huai interrupted him before he could finish the word 'fiancée'.
"Shut up!"
'Annoying!
You really know how to talk! It's giving me a headache! '
Zhao Huai shook him off and fiercely glared at Ji Yunshu. "I don't care who you are, and I don't care who you are. In this father's eyes, you are all f * cking mortals."
Ji Yunshu panted lightly and sneered. "My offer is undoubtedly the best path for you and your people. Why don't you accept it and avoid future troubles? If you kill us today, someone will come after you in the future. An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye. You can vent your anger, but you have to pay with your life. Is it worth it?"
His slightly pale face was extremely clean!
Zhao Huai's heart itched at her words. After a moment, he waved his hand and ordered, "Take them away and watch them carefully. Don't let anything happen to them."
The four bandits obeyed.
He dragged Ji Yunshu up from the ground and dragged Wei Yi along with him.
Then, Zhao Huai directed his anger at Zhao Qing. "Since you're here, why don't you take a seat here and take a look at the place you grew up in? I'll also consider what you and that brat said."
Zhao Qing remained silent.
He knew that he would not be able to leave today. The people he had brought with him had probably been captured by Zhao Huai's men.
Zhao Qing and the two men he had brought with him were placed under surveillance by Zhao Huai's men. Although they were not detained, they were watched closely.
At this moment, the sky had already darkened.
Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi were locked up in their original place. Since it was already nighttime, the dampness in the room became more pungent, and the air felt cold on their noses.
There was not even a single oil lamp.
If it weren't for the slivers of light that seeped in through the broken window, they would not be able to see their own fingers.
Wei Yi pulled a few handfuls of dry grass from a nearby haystack and spread it on the ground. He then helped Ji Yunshu sit down.
"Shu 'er, sit properly. Don't get sick."
Ji Yunshu leaned on his shoulder for a long time before she slowly felt better.
Suddenly –
Wei Yi held her hand and gently lifted it to his mouth.
He blew on it.
"Shu 'er, don't be afraid. If it hurts, just say it. Mother said that as long as you put it on your mouth and blow on it, you'll feel better. Shu' er, are you still in pain? I'll help you blow on it again. "
On her palms, there were many tiny cuts.
Ji Yunshu's lips curled into a smile when she saw how attentive Wei Yi was.
