more so than Mo Jun Yi.Previously, Ming Deng and others attempted to kidnap Mo Jun Yi in order to use him as leverage against An Xue Tang, forcing her to comply and hand over what Ming Deng and other...Cheng Ruer's curses hadn't been fully uttered when the whole room was left with only her utterly miserable voice.

Before she could finish her sentence, one of the men instantly moved in front of her, grabbed her hand, and twisted it with such force that he dislocated her shoulder.

Cheng Ru'er immediately cried out in pain, the entire room filled only with her mournful wails.

Those men were unbearably irritating, their brows furrowed with irritation.

They only dislocated her arm, they didn't even go all out yet, and she screamed like that. It was unbearable to hear.

"Be quiet."

The man who had just attacked her shouted angrily, his gritted teeth seeming to say that if she didn't shut up, he would kill her.

Cheng Ru'er was always a coward, afraid of the strong and bullying the weak. Now that she remembered who these people were, she instantly shut her mouth after their reprimand, not even daring to whimper.

Those panicked eyes stared at the man in front of her, terrified that he would actually do something terrible to her.

Seeing her calm down, the man let out a cold snort, his gloomy eyes fixed on her, "Didn't you say you had a way to see King Beijiang What's your plan"

"I...," Cheng Ruer trembled, "I truly don't know why King Beijiang didn't appear. I... I have the imperial edict in my hands, so... Even if he would defy it, he usually would first look at the edict before deciding whether to defy it. This time, he didn't even show his face, and I have no idea what's going on."

After Cheng Ruer finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that everyone in the room was looking at each other, with obvious excitement in their eyes.

She didn't know what they were excited about either.

Before she could ask anything, the man who had spoken earlier replied first, "Do you mean that in the past, even when there was an imperial decree, King Beijang would at least appear to look at the contents of the decree"

Chengu Ruer didn't understand why he asked that, but she still nodded truthfully, "Yes... yes."

A few men glanced at each other subconsciously, the excitement in their eyes becoming increasingly apparent.

But they didn't say anything in front of Cheng Ruier.

And the man stepped closer to Cheng Ruer, frightening her so that she trembled all over and her face was as pale as paper.

"What...do you want to do"

"Heh." The man scoffed dismissively. "You think if I wanted to do something to you, two steps back would save you"

As they spoke, the man slowly raised his hand and, with an unyielding grip, pinched Cheng Ru'er's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

Meeting the man's sharp gaze, Cheng Ru'er shivered even more intensely.

I deeply regret this.

That's right, what could she do if these people in front of her wanted to harm her

As a frail woman with no protection, she was clearly no match for these men.

How could she dare to lash out at them Today, she was truly driven mad by that Yunliu, her mind fogged and forgetting that the people around her were no longer the Imperial Guard sent by His Majesty.

When she left the capital, the emperor did indeed send several Imperial Guards to accompany her to Youlan City. The imperial edict in her hand was also genuine, personally given to her by the emperor.

But on her way to Youlan City, the imperial guards sent by His Majesty had already been killed by these formidable warriors.

If she hadn't repeatedly claimed to have a way to bring these people before the King of Beijang, she would have likely been killed by them long ago.

But after arriving here, she went to the military camp with the imperial decree, and still couldn't see King Beijang. This was already a breach of promise for these people, how could she still lose her temper with them

Isn't this enough to kill yourself

At this point, Cheng Ruer had completely lost her airs of a young lady. She trembled all over, tears streaming down her face as she whimpered and begged for mercy:

"No... I won't dare again, please...please beg you, don't kill me, please don't kill me, I...I can still find a way to let you see the King of Beijang."

"Humph." Her tears fell onto the man's hand, and the man flicked her away in disgust. His cold voice slowly trailed off, "Remember your place. If you dare to speak disrespectfully to me again, I'll chop off your head myself."

Cheng Ru'er nodded repeatedly, "No... I dare not."

The man didn't continue to torment her, instead he grabbed her hand suddenly. Before she could scream, he quickly pulled his hand back and left a warning: "This is just a small lesson. Behave yourself."

After saying that, the man left with the others, abandoning her in the room. He didn't even inquire about how she planned to see King Beijang, as if he didn't believe for a moment that she had a way to arrange it.

Until the moment the door was closed, Cheng Ru'er had kept her body rigidly tense. The instant it shut, she slumped to the ground, breathing heavily as if reborn.

All she could think about, even in the face of death, was how to see Mo Yunjing.

And she must see Mo Yunjing.

Those people just now were truly terrifying, especially after experiencing that moment of life and death. She understood even more that these people simply wouldn't follow through on their words.

Even if she kept her promise and took them to meet the King of the North, they wouldn't let her go under the terms they had previously agreed upon.

Only the King of Beijang could save her, she finally understood.

So she had to see the King of Beijang. She needed to tell him that those men were not Imperial Guards at all, and from their manner, they weren't there to pledge allegiance to him either.

They are so eager to see the King of Beijiang, they must have some ulterior motives.

As long as she exposed these people's plot to the King of Beijiang, the King of Beijiang would surely remember her great service and protect her, keeping her by his side.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ru'er raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She gritted her teeth and stood up from the ground.

......

And the men who had just left her room were completely oblivious to what Cheng Ruer was thinking.

They gathered together at this moment, shutting the door. One of them spoke hastily, "Big brother, what do you think of this"

The man they called "Big Brother" was the one who had attacked Cheng Ru'er. He narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, "It seems our guess was right, the King of Beijang is not in the army."

They are people from the Chi nation. Although they are martial artists, they came here this time on orders from their emperor.

And they appeared in Youlan City for the purpose of keeping tabs on the actions of the King of Beijiang.

Everyone knew that the city of Youlan could hold out in this conflict, all thanks to the sudden appearance of the King of Beijang.

The Red Nation's army wants to win and capture Youlan City, but they need to take down the Northern Border King first. As long as the Northern Border King is out of the picture, those pampered soldiers in Youlan City will be no match for the Red Nation's army.

As long as the King of Beijang is defeated, it will only be a matter of time before the Red Nation's army takes over Youlan City.
