Chapter 461: Chapter 458: My Husband (Grand Finale)

Xu Jing’s brows furrowed sharply.

No wonder this guy wanted to gag her.

He clearly intended to use her to lure Xiao Yi over and then kill them both together!

Xiao Yi looked at him with a somber face, without speaking.

Jiang Shaoyan, however, had no patience. He suddenly yanked Xu Jing and took a big step back, seemingly about to reach the edge of the cliff.

Even as steady as Xiao Yi was, his face couldn’t help but turn slightly pale.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyan’s original slight worry immediately vanished into thin air, and he laughed loudly again, "It seems that our wise and brave General Xiao truly cares deeply for this lady! Even on the battlefield, I’ve never seen you so flustered, Xiao Yi. I’ll be honest with you, my patience is running thin. I’ll count to ten, if you can’t make a decision, don’t blame me for dragging your lady off the edge with me!

One..."

With that, he started to count loudly.

All the soldiers couldn’t help but look at Xiao Yi with anxious faces.

With just Jiang Shaoyan and those few people he brought, they could deal with them in no time.

But... now that General Xiao’s lady was in Jiang Shaoyan’s hands, no one dared to act without orders.

Xiao Yi’s face grew increasingly grim as Jiang Shaoyan counted, yet Jiang Shaoyan seemed more and more pleased, the smile at his mouth spreading almost to his ears, continuing, "Five, six, seven, eight, nine..."

Finally, he paused and said coldly, "Ten!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he abruptly pulled Xu Jing, about to step back again!

"Hold on!"

Xiao Yi’s deep voice sounded at this time, he tossed the large sword in his hand to the ground, and under the incredulous gazes of all the soldiers, he walked slowly toward Jiang Shaoyan, "Release my lady, and you can do whatever you want to me."

Jiang Shaoyan’s grin couldn’t stretch any further, seeing Xiao Yi like this, obediently listening to his words, the stuffiness he’d held onto for days finally dissipated completely. He couldn’t help but arrogantly tilt his head back, laughing madly.

"Xiao Yi, oh Xiao Yi! Even you have a day like this! I told you, opposing me would lead to regret eventually! Hahaha! In the end, the winner is still me! It’s me..."

With his laughter, the sword that was originally pressed against Xu Jing’s neck slightly moved away. Xu Jing’s eyes flashed sharply. Just as the sword moved a certain distance from her neck, her body suddenly shrank downward.

Jiang Shaoyan’s laughter abruptly stopped, to his credit, he reacted fast, his face darkened, and his other hand reached to grab Xu Jing.

But Xu Jing had already pulled the pouch from her waist, covering her mouth and nose, and threw it fiercely!

Jiang Shaoyan was taken aback, quickly withdrew his hand reaching for Xu Jing, covered his mouth and nose, and shouted, "Those powders are problematic, don’t inhale them!"

Nearly simultaneously, Xiao Yi drew a dagger thin as a cicada’s wing from his waist, swiftly dealing with several soldiers near him, and ran towards Xu Jing.

However, the people around Jiang Shaoyan were not easy opponents. After his shout, they reacted quickly, holding their breath and rushing toward Xu Jing as a group. Xu Jing had only taken two steps before she suddenly stopped in her tracks, despairingly realizing that the road ahead was blocked!

Behind her, more soldiers were closing in, almost upon her.

And Xiao Yi was still several steps away from her! Moreover, there were still several soldiers diving at him!

If this continued, she would only fall back into Jiang Shaoyan’s hands!

Just at this critical moment, her right hand was suddenly gripped tightly and she was pulled into a soldier’s arms.

Her heart skipped a beat, instinctively clenching her fist to strike at him, but the soldier easily deflected her punch while letting out a low chuckle.

The familiar voice, one Xu Jing thought she’d never hear again, made her body freeze abruptly.

Impossible, how could it be... him!

"Miss Xu, I saved you once again."

The clear, pleasant voice whispered in her ear, like a lover, "This life, you don’t need to repay my kindness, next life, you can repay me with your life."

With that, he suddenly raised the sword in his hand, swiftly dealing with the soldiers blocking their way, then he gave Xu Jing a hard push on the back, sending her towards Xiao Yi.

After regaining her footing, Xu Jing whirled around and finally clearly saw the soldier.

That face, it was clearly... Jiang Yu’s face!

He had also come, and was mixed in with Jiang Shaoyan’s group of soldiers!
