Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 164 Those who block my way will be dealt with according to military law.

"I'm not going!" Tuoba Feiyuan reflexively hid behind him.

Not far behind her was Lu Fengjin lying on a stretcher. She quickly walked to Lu Fengjin's side and took his hand.

"Ah Jin, I told you Chu Yue Li wanted to harm me, but you didn't believe me! Do you believe me now?"

“Someone has to go out first.” Chu Yueli also looked at Lu Fengjin.

Although he wasn't feeling well at the moment, and had been half-asleep and somewhat drowsy on the way, Chu Yueli knew that he was fully conscious.

“If your Ajin hadn’t been injured, he would have personally led the team out. Since you are his woman, you should be like him. Otherwise, what right do you have to stand with him?”

Tuoba Feiyuan blushed, feeling unconvinced, yet genuinely afraid that Chu Yueli would push her out.

Lu Fengjin's face was also red, but it was hard to tell whether it was from shame or something else.

He wanted to get up.

Qin Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you are still injured. Don't make a fuss. I can go."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yueli in front of him had already taken a step and rushed towards the exit.

Lu Fengjin's heart tightened, and he said urgently, "Ali, it's dangerous, come back!"

"Miss Li, you mustn't!" The brothers also stopped Chu Yue Li.

Tuoba Feiyuan stood aside and sneered, "It's just an act for you. A woman like her, who is afraid of death, would she really be willing to sacrifice herself?"

"If I really want to leave, can you promise to kneel outside the gate of my Duke's mansion for twelve hours after returning to the capital, to apologize and admit your mistake?"

Chu Yueli turned around, her cold gaze falling on her.

Tuoba Feiyuan was furious and asked urgently, "What right do you have?"

"Then please let Miss Tuoba give it a try."

"I...I won't go! It's all your evil scheme! You just want to kill me!" Tuoba Feiyuan continued to back away.

She had tried it once, and the image of that horse dying tragically was still vivid in her mind.

If it weren't for Lu Fengjin's protection, she would probably have died in the hail of arrows. But this time, Lu Fengjin was so badly injured that he could no longer stand up to protect her.

She once said that she wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid of pain.

She's just terrified of pain!

"Ha! If you don't want to go, then agree. If I go, you will kneel outside the Duke's mansion for a day and a night after you return to the capital. I, Prince Jin, will be your witness."

"No...no..." Lu Fengjin still remembered, fearing that Chu Yueli would really try to break out.

She doesn't know martial arts, let alone lightness skills; going out would mean certain death.

On the contrary, seeing how much he cared about Chu Yueli, Tuoba Feiyuan became angry and suddenly made up his mind: "Fine, Chu Yueli, if you really dare to go out first, I will agree to your request!"

She will die if she goes outside!

When people are already dead, what promises are left to keep?

Who could not understand Tuoba Feiyuan's thoughts?

She truly wanted to see Chu Yueli die outside; this woman's intentions were far too malicious.

Lu Fengjin glared at Tuoba Feiyuan, his feelings indescribably complicated.

She is clean, innocent, simple, straightforward, and forthright, unlike the demure and secretive women of her time.

This was the reason why he liked Tuoba Feiyuan in the first place.

But now that I think about it again, I feel more and more that her so-called straightforwardness and generosity are nothing but being willful, arrogant, and self-willed, never considering others and not knowing how to care about others.

Isn't this a form of selfishness?

Chu Yueli smiled coldly and said, "Alright, it's a deal."

"Miss Li..."

Chu Yueli's expression turned serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Prince Jin said that everything here is under my command, and anyone who obstructs me will be dealt with according to military law!"
