Chapter 356: The Evil Ones Gather
King Kang turned around and ran to the back of the house.
The captain of the guards roared and rushed towards the pursuers, and a fight broke out.
"Zhou! You betrayed His Highness! You will die a horrible death!"
The governor of Zhou stood in the courtyard, looking at the heavily besieged King Kang, and said coldly:
"Your Highness, Prince Kang, you have committed treason and slew your father, and you deserve to be punished! I, Zhou, am merely loyal to the new emperor, and I am now arresting you, the master who committed treason! How can you call me a betrayer? Capture me!"
The captain of the guards fought desperately to block the attack.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!"
In the chaos, King Kang was stabbed several times and fled all the way to the river.
Looking at Su Zhe who was pressing forward step by step and the Zhou governor who betrayed him, King Kang smiled miserably:
"God will kill me!"
After saying that, he vomited blood and fell straight into the river.
The surging river water swallowed up his figure in an instant.
"Your Highness!"
The captain of the guards burst into tears, screamed, and fell to his knees.
"Your Highness is dead, and I will never live alone! Your Highness, please walk slowly, I will catch up with you immediately!"
After saying that, he slashed his neck with a knife.
Blood splattered everywhere and he fell to the ground and died.
Governor Zhou bowed flatteringly towards Su Zhe and said:
"Commander-in-Chief, the thief has now been brought to justice. I congratulate you on your further achievement!"
Su Zhe looked at Governor Zhou with disdain and snorted coldly:
"Master Zhou is so two-faced. I have seen it today."
“???” Governor Zhou choked.
Su Zhe had already pushed him away and said to his brothers in the Imperial Guards:
"Prince Kang was seriously injured and fell into the water. We must find out whether he is dead or alive. Search along the river. If he is dead, we must find him alive!"
"Yes!"
He pointed at the body of the captain of the guards on the ground and said:
"Collect the body properly and find a coffin for burial."
Although the captain of the guards aided and abetted the evil, he was loyal to one person from beginning to end. He was much better than some two-faced bastards who betrayed their former masters!
……
Outside Yizhou City.
The first month of the lunar year has passed, and everything is coming back to life. Although the river has thawed, it is still bitterly cold.
Xu Jing was wearing a thin green dress and was beating a pile of clothes with difficulty by the river.
The icy river water had frozen her fingers until they were red, swollen, and as thick as radishes, which was painful to look at. But she looked numb, as if these hands were not hers at all, and she just beat them mechanically.
Not far away, a burly country woman leaned against a tree, cracking melon seeds and cursing loudly:
"What a piece of shit! You're relying on your looks to seduce men and daydream about becoming a phoenix! Bah! A slut who's been fucked by thousands of men! Don't think I don't know where you came from!"
The woman spat out melon seed shells all over the floor and continued to mutter:
"I heard you're just a prostitute on a boat, sleeping with one person tonight and another tomorrow! You'll kick someone out when you've had enough of them! Humph, shameless little whore, if it weren't for your big ass, soft waist, and the look of a good fertile woman, I wouldn't have kept you as my idiot son's wife."
"You'd better behave yourself! Stop trying to flirt with other old men in the village! Give me a grandson as soon as possible!"
Xu Jing's face was pale and numb.
She thought Lu Yong was her life-saving straw, but she didn't expect that he would be the devil who took her life.
That day on the boat, Lu Yong was gentle and considerate to her, but he turned around and put an aphrodisiac in her wine and became her husband that night.
Although she hated Lu Yong for taking advantage of her misfortune, the matter was already done, and she could only hope that Lu Yong would treat her as an equal from now on.
But what she didn't know was that Lu Yong was not a human being at all.
He drugged her every night, tricked her into having sex with him, and did all sorts of humiliating things to her. After he had enough, he kicked her out to his fellow shipmates.
Those hypocritical scholars are simply beasts!
They bound her hands and feet, imprisoned her in the lowest bunk, and tormented her all the way from Shengjing to Yizhou. Finally, at the Yizhou dock, they patted their butts and left. She was discovered by a boatman and abandoned on the dock.
It was already winter at that time.
She was covered in wounds and lay dying on the side of the road.
Then it was picked up by a fool and dragged back.
……
That woman was her nominal mother-in-law. Xu Jing had already become numb after listening to the woman chattering and cursing her over and over again.
She has become a broken woman with no hope in her life.
Maybe she should just jump into the icy river and be done with it.
"Oh, what is that thing!"
The woman yelled in a hoarse voice and ran to the river, standing on tiptoe to look around.
Not far away, a bunch of tattered things were floating.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a person!
"What a rotten beggar! If you wanted to die, you couldn't choose a good place to die, but died in the river in front of my house! What bad luck!"
The woman turned around and left, going back to the tree to continue basking in the sun and eating melon seeds.
Xu Jingyuan had no intention of saving anyone. She could barely save herself, so how could she have the time to save a beggar?
But when the beggar passed by her, she was stunned after just one glance, because she saw a face she had not seen for a long time, and this face was definitely not going to appear here!
She even thought she had seen it wrong.
Just when she was surprised, the man seemed to sense something and suddenly stretched out his hand towards her.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
As soon as the woman sat down, she saw Xu Jing jump into the river and struggle to pull the beggar out of the river.
"I'm going to die! Do you think you're a living Buddha? You want to save people? Or did you get itchy when you saw it was a man? Slut! Bitch!"
The woman put her hands on her hips and cursed.
"Help me!"
Xu Jing suddenly spoke coldly.
The three words were as cold as ice, like a sharp sword piercing the woman's heart. She was so frightened that she froze in place.
"Y-You're not mute!"
At the same time, he subconsciously reached out.
The two men dragged the beggar back to the house, and the woman went back to change clothes, cursing. Xu Jing was shivering with cold all over, and just as she was about to leave, someone grabbed her wrist.
"You know me, don't you!"
This beggar was none other than King Kang who had fallen into the water.
"So what?!"
Xu Jing turned around, took off her wet clothes, and started changing clothes in front of King Kang.
She had already lost her innocence, so what was wrong with changing clothes in front of a man?
There won’t be any missing pieces of meat.
King Kang's eyes fell on her thin back and slender waist, then he looked up and down and said with a smile:
"How could a beauty like you end up like this? If you listen to me and help me leave this place, I will promise you a bright future!"
The hand holding up the pants paused, and the coarse cloth slowly slipped across her skin. After Xu Jing put on her clothes, she slowly turned around and smiled at King Kang.
She was born extremely beautiful, and the plainer the clothes, the more she looked like a lotus emerging from pure water. At this moment, the rough blue cloth could not hide her charm at all.
This smile brought out all the charm of a woman:
"Your Highness had better keep your word!"
