Chapter 129: Let’s Die Together! (2)

Yu Xingzhi interrupted him and said, “Elder brother, there is only empty land from the city door to Shili Pavilion. There are barely any people walking past and nowhere to hide. Lin Bingren has a brutal and violent personality, so I can’t risk this and allow Xiaoxiao to be in danger. They probably just want me. If I go, I will have a chance to save Xiaoxiao.”

“Impossible! I won’t let you do something stupid!” Cheng Shizhao said angrily.

“Brothers, I naturally won’t just go down without a fight.” Yu Xingzhi raised his head and said, “I invited you guys over because I need your help, not for you guys to stop me. We don’t have much time and my mind’s set, so please listen to my plan carefully.”

…

At the Shili Pavilion outside the city, Yu Xingzhi went alone and there was someone waiting for him. It was Yu Xingzhi’s former personal guard, Yu Tong.

Yu Tong watched as his master for many years stepped on the stairs and walked in front of him.

Under his burning gaze, Yu Tong couldn’t help but avoid his gaze out of shame.

“Fifth Lord, as expected, you love Lady. You came here by yourself.”

Yu Xingzhi stared at him for a moment before he gradually said, “Where’s Lady?”

“Fifth Lord, don’t worry. I didn’t do anything to Lady. If Fifth Lord wants to see Lady, come with me.”

Yu Xingzhi got on his horse without another word and followed Yu Tong, turning corners and riding dozens of meters before arriving at their destination.

They started to go on an empty country path and there was a rope that tripped the horse, making Yu Xingzhi fall down the horse.

There were dozens of sturdy men who surged from the bushes and flocked around him, tying Yu Xingzhi up.

Yu Xingzhi was brought to an inconspicuous private house. They entered the yard to see countless people coming out of the room.

Although the leader was wearing Han clothes, he had thick eyebrows and a sturdy figure, not like a Han person.

He walked over to take a closer look. As it turned out, it was Qidan’s famous general, Yeluxiu.

After him, someone with a fierce and sinister face walked out. It was Lin Bingren who had been escaping.

Ling Bingren saw Yu Xingzhi and smiled evilly, saying, “Fifth Lord Yu, you didn’t expect this, did you? We meet again!”

Yu Xingzhi said, “Where’s my Lady? Since you guys have caught me, there’s no need to make things difficult for a weak and sick woman.”

Lin Bingren squeezed Yu Xingzhi’s throat and said, “Well, look at you. Instead of considering other people, think about yourself first. My father, mother, and brother all died in Yu Family’s hands! I will make sure you regret ever living. I’ll make you crouch like a dog in front of my brother’s grave, making you cry and beg for mercy!”

“I originally thought that we just have different political views. Now, it seems like you would betray your country and go over to the enemy in order to gain honor and fame.”

Lin Bingren squeezed harder and veins were bursting on Yu Xingzhi’s face. He tossed Yu Xingzhi on the ground and ripped his clothes.

Yeluxiu stopped him and said, “Although he’s my enemy in war, but I also admire him. In our traditions, towards someone loyal like him, even if he’s our enemy, we can only kill him but not humiliate him. Plus, I still have a use for his life.”

Lin Bingren’s face was shaking and after a while, he finally stepped aside and bowed his head.

Yu Xingzhi violently coughed and said in a hoarse voice, “General Yelu, please let my wife go. She’s just a woman who lost her mind and she definitely won’t leak your whereabouts.”

Yeluxiu looked down and said, “General Yu, although I respect your skills, but since Mr. Lin relied on me for help, he is my friend. I can’t hurt his feelings of you. Your enmity has nothing to do with me.”

As he said this, he turned around and ordered his guards, “Pack up and immediately leave. Burn this place and make sure there are no traces of Qidan people here.”

Yu Xingzhi watched as Lin Bingren’s servants pushed a woman out from the room. She was expressionless, like a puppet and allowed people to do whatever they wanted. It was his wife who lost her soul, Zhou Xiaoxiao.
