Chapter 2339: I'll Help You Vent Your Anger

Still, Jiang Luofu knew fully well that it wasn’t their fault.

“Are you still not going to surrender? It seems Miss Jiang thinks I won’t actually kill anyone.” King Wu sneered, then gave his subordinate a look.

When he saw the signal, Chang Fu brought his blade down on a Jiang clan junior. This was someone who hadn’t pleaded for mercy, so killing such a person would inflict even more psychological trauma on Jiang Luofu.

Clang!

A purple streak of light flew over, knocking the blade out of Chang Fu’s hands.

“Stop!” a delicate voice shouted.

Everyone present turned around and saw a stunning beauty arrive on a red horse. Her facial features were stunning, her nose was elegant, her lips were red, and her skin was fair. She looked as if she had walked straight out of a painting. Many people recognized who it was. It was Madam Wu, Yun Yuqing! When she stood together with King Wu, the two of them really looked like a perfect couple. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

When he saw that he'd been stopped, Chang Fu was about to curse. But when he saw who it was, his malicious expression was immediately replaced with an apologetic smile.

The madam really is beautiful! She’s completely different from this Jiang woman. If I could have my way with her, I’m sure it’d be worth it even if I had to risk my life for it!

When he saw that his wife had arrived, King Wu frowned ever so slightly. “Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I come if the king can come?” Yun Yuqing replied with a faint smile.

Many people present were stunned. Why did the way they were talking to each other seem a bit off?

King Wu said unhappily, “I am handling proper matters here. How about we talk more later?”

Yun Yuqing’s eyes scanned the surroundings, and her eyes stopped on Jiang Luofu for a long time. There was a bit of amazement in her gaze.

So stockings could actually be so seductive! I need to find myself a pair to try on sometime too.

When she heard what King Wu said, she gathered her thoughts and replied, “Sir Jiang has always had an outstanding reputation; this is something no one can refute. We shouldn’t turn the Jiang manor into the site of such a bloodbath.”

King Wu harrumphed and said, “They are suspected of treason and have publicly resisted this king’s arrest, which further solidifies their rapacious designs. This king is perfectly justified in making such fierce decisions.”

Yun Yuqing frowned. “The Jiang clan’s people have already surrendered, so how can we continue to slaughter them while they are unarmed and defenseless?”

Jiang Luofu gave her a grateful look. She really had been pressured to the point that there was nothing else she could do. If she resisted, she would be harming her clansmen. If she didn’t... How could she resign herself to such a fate? Now that Madam Wu had spoken up for her, their clan was probably going to be alright.

King Wu frowned. “If she surrenders, I won’t kill the Jiang clan’s people. It all depends on how much weight these people’s lives carry in her heart.”

Out of fear that she would make a rash decision, many people in the Jiang clan hurriedly advised Jiang Luofu again.

While Jiang Luofu was feeling conflicted, Yun Yuqing spoke up and said, “Miss Jiang, we are both women. I can promise you that as long as you surrender, I can ensure your safety.”

Jiang Luofu stared into her eyes and asked, “Can I trust you?” She knew fully well the desire in the eyes of King Wu, Chang Fu, and the other soldiers. She knew what kind of tragic fate most likely awaited her after she surrendered.

“Trust me, I will protect you," Yun Yuqing said with a nod. Then, she secretly sent Jiang Luofu a message. “I am your libationer’s friend.”

Jiang Luofu was stunned.

She is Zu An’s friend? What kind of relationship do they have?

But she didn’t have the energy to think about those things. After releasing a long sigh, she threw the rod in her hand away. She had already been at her wits' end when King Wu threatened her with the lives of the Jiang clan. At the very least, Madam Wu was now giving her a choice.

Yun Yuqing’s maid moved over to restrain Jiang Luofu’s acupoints. She was about to bring the latter to the madam’s side when King Wu suddenly stood between them. “Why don’t you leave her to me first?”

Jiang Luofu’s expression couldn't help but change when she heard that.

The maid was immediately put on the spot. She looked toward Yun Yuqing.

Yun Yuqing’s face darkened. “King, I have just made a promise to ensure her safety.”

King Wu replied indifferently, “Could it be that you think that this king will privately use torture on her? The Jiang clan is suspected of treason, and this person is an important member of the Jiang clan. We naturally need to escort her to the Imperial Prison and continue with the customary procedures.”

Yun Yuqing said in a serious tone, “In that case, I will move together with her.”

At first, Jiang Luofu had been worried that she'd been fooled. She felt a bit more at ease when she heard those words.

“Nonsense.” King Wu was a bit annoyed. “You aren’t a criminal; how can the Imperial Prison be a place anyone can casually enter?”

Yun Yuqing didn’t back down. “I only know that I guaranteed her safety just now. It is important to keep one’s promises!”

They stared into each other's eyes. It was as if sparks would appear at any time. The expressions of everyone present immediately became strange.

Isn't it widely known that the king and madam are deeply in love? What is going on right now?

However, several people thought of an explanation. It was probably because the madam had seen that Jiang Luofu was too beautiful, and that her legs were too alluring, so she became jealous. She was worried that the king would completely lose control, so she didn’t want them to stay together.

However, the people involved weren't so easily convinced. King Wu secretly asked, “What is the meaning of saying this in front of so many other people?”

“What is the meaning of doing all of this to the Jiang clan?” Yun Yuqing calmly replied.

“The Jiang clan has rebelled. I am only acting on an imperial decree,” King Wu said with a snort.

“Hah.” Yun Yuqing clearly didn’t believe him.

Her expression and tone seemed to sting King Wu. “Everything I am doing is for our future. Once I eliminate these insufferably arrogant clans in the capital, I will become the emperor and you will become the empress.”

“I don’t care if you wish to act against anyone else, but you cannot touch Jiang Luofu.” Yun Yuqing clearly expressed her attitude. “She is an academy teacher. The academy has always carried great status. You should not be touching her.”

King Wu couldn't help but grow a bit angry when he heard that. “Is it actually because she is a teacher from the academy, or because she is Zu An’s friend?”

Yun Yuqing’s pretty brows furrowed. “Whether it is because of the academy or because she is Zu An’s friend, both are reasons why you shouldn’t touch her.”

King Wu said with a cold sneer, “Compared to the late libationer, the current academy is already completely different. Forget about that Zu guy, he hasn’t even come back after so long. Who knows which ditch he died in? He has already become a thorn in those monsters’ sides. No matter how powerful his cultivation is, how could it compare to those incredibly powerful monsters?”

Yun Yuqing took a deep breath to calm her emotions. “You can think what you want, but I will protect her today.”

King Wu’s eyes narrowed, and he no longer spoke through voice transmission. “In that case, we’ll let Miss Jiang choose herself. Miss Jiang, are you willing to follow the madam or this king? You should think through your choice well.”

He gestured toward his subordinates, and blades were pressed against the necks of the Jiang clan disciples who had resisted just now. It was as if, as long as King Wu gave the word, those blades would immediately descend and heads would roll.

Jiang Luofu’s entire body trembled.

This King Wu truly is too shameless and despicable.

When she saw that, Yun Yuqing stood behind Jiang Luofu. “The Jiang clan has yet to pass through the three justices. How can we carry out private punishment?”

King Wu said with a sinister smile, “Everyone saw how they resisted when I came to arrest the traitor with an imperial edict before, which is a serious crime in itself. I should’ve already killed them all then. No one will say that my actions were wrong, even in front of the court.”

Yun Yuqing’s expression changed. She hadn’t expected King Wu to not give her any face at all. After all, King Wu had always listened to her over the years. She'd thought that there was no way he would refuse her in this case, but now, it seemed that the events back then really had created a rift between the two of them.

“Miss Jiang, did you make your choice? This king’s patience has a limit.” King Wu didn’t look at her anymore, and instead stared at Jiang Luofu.

Jiang Luofu’s chest rose and fell intensely. She was locked in an intense psychological struggle.

King Wu gave his subordinate a look. Chang Fu nodded, and the blade in his hand fell toward the Jiang clan disciple’s neck.

“No!” Jiang Luofu screamed.

King Wu smiled in satisfaction. “You have to remember that you are the one who killed him. Had you agreed earlier...”

Midway through his sentence, he suddenly sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off. He quickly turned around. He didn’t see the beheading he expected, and instead saw Chang Fu lying to the side. There was a man standing next to the Jiang clan’s disciples. He was clearly tall and handsome, confident and heroic; but that face was the source of many nightmares over the past few years.

“Regent!”

No one knew who had shouted, but everyone in the Jiang clan immediately became excited. Meanwhile, King Wu’s soldiers reflexively backed up. A large space opened up with Zu An in the center.

“Ah Zu!” The moment she saw him, Jiang Luofu’s eyes actually became watery and blurry, even though she'd been trying to put on a brave face. She had never realized that she could be so weak before. She really wanted to endure the tears, but she couldn't hold them back anymore at all.

Zu An walked up to her side and gently wiped the tears that were trickling from her eyes, saying, “Sorry, I came too late.” As he spoke, he undid her body’s restrictions.

Yun Yuqing silently watched the events unfolding. She had also been quite moved when she saw Zu An’s safe return, but for some reason, she felt really heartbroken right now. Because of their statuses, she was destined to never be able to act like this with him in public.

“My dad, he...” Jiang Luofu urgently looked at her unconscious father.

Zu An examined him and said, “Don’t worry, even though his injuries are severe, there's no danger to his life. He’ll be able to recover after resting for some time.”

When she heard what he said, Jiang Luofu sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, King Wu couldn't hold himself back and said, “Regent, the Jiang clan are criminals who have committed treason!”

Zu An didn’t pay him any attention, and looked at Jiang Luofu instead. He asked, “Who did this to you? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger!”
