Chapter 397

How to Break Out

“You still want to use me to threaten him?” Ye Mu glared at him.

Min Liang faintly smiled. “Well, I have no choice. Who told him to be unrestrained? But I’ve said I must have you! Then I will use you to threaten him, maybe the outcome will be better.”

With this said, his fingers go deeper inside as if wanting to do that!

“You better stop.”

Ye Mu’s voice was calm. Even if she was held down by him on the bed, her thinned face still looked calm. Min Liang didn’t particularly like that calmness.

“What, do you still think you still can negotiate with me?” Min Liang’s fingers lightly undid Ye Mu’s outer garment. He coldly smiled. “I don’t care if you’ve been touched by other men. You can serve me, it’s your good luck.”

He wanted to continue, but Ye Mu closed her eyes and uttered, “You can try. As long as you touch me, I will immediately commit suicide. Since you know Mo Linyuan cares for me, then you must know the consequences you have to bear after I die.”

Min Liang’s fingers stopped. Then, he smiled. “I don’t believe you. You dare to go back and forth to different countries by yourself, and like those common women you’ll attempt suicide after losing your innocence?”

Ye Mu smiled. “Because I’m still a virgin. Mo Linyuan didn’t have the time to touch me when the war happened. And so many years have passed and I’ve always waited for him. In this situation, if I’m raped by you, do you think I’ll have the face to see him?”

She opened her eyes to look at Min Liang and said, “So you can try!”

“What?” Min Liang thought he heard wrong. “You—are still a virgin?!”

If he remembered correctly, Ye Mu has been with Mo Linyuan for many years. How can she still be a virgin?

Ye Mu was indifferent. “This is easy to check. I don’t have to lie to you.”

Min Liang’s smile suddenly turned dangerous. “Did you not think I’ll want you even more if it’s like this? The woman Mo Linyuan hasn’t slept with will be done by me first! I believe he’ll go mad!”

Ye Mu wasn’t amused by him. She coldly smiled. “What you want is to only threaten him and not make him go mad, because deep down you know what will happen if he goes mad.”

Both confronted each other unyieldingly. In the end, it was Ye Mu who had the upper hand.

Min Liang got up from her body and coldly said, “Sure enough people aren’t fond of women who are too smart. Since it’s like this, then I’ll use you to threaten him. You better pray you are that important to him, or else I’ll kill you!”

After saying that, his face was gloomy as he left. Ye Mu let out a long relieved sigh, but her mind was still not at ease.

Right now she didn’t have a way to escape. If it was like this, would she really be used to threaten Mo Linyuan?

Determination flashed through her eyes. A soldier accepts death rather than humiliation. If that moment really came, she would go for the most extreme measure!

Finally, Zhao’s monarch could no longer stand Mo Linyuan’s pressure and granted Zhao Mingyu the title of the crown princess, sending her to the border for a truce.

After hearing this news, Min Liang relaxed slightly. If Zhao Mingyu truly had the capability to convince Mo Linyuan, that’s good. Li Country then would have more time and opportunity.

But who would have thought when the crown princess was sent out of the palace, Zhao Mingyu looked for the aristocratic families to borrow people to surround the imperial palace. The old monarch didn’t know what was happening until, dressed in a yellow gown, Zhao Mingyu walked up to him step by step.

“Wh-what are you doing?” The old monarch panicked. “What you wanted, didn’t I give it to you already, what are you doing now?!”

Zhao Mingyu faintly smiled, looking gorgeous, but her eyes were cruel.

“I wanted to become the crown princess, but who would have thought I would go out so grand but would be killed by you after coming back? Since you know me and Mo Country are friends, how can you be at ease letting me have this position? So that you won’t kill me off after I come back, I thought I should kill you first.”

She said it so lightly, making the old monarch ghastly pale from shock.

“You—you want to kill the king?”

The old monarch never thought a woman would have such outrageous thoughts!

Zhao Mingyu chuckled. “I’m forced by you to come to this. You treated me as such that time, you must have known today will come.”

After she said that, she waved her hand. The soldiers behind her advanced to surround the old monarch. One of them didn’t give him any chance and directly used a belt to strangle him to death. Too bad, the old monarch died with regret. But Zhao Mingyu only glanced at him before turning around to leave.

After that, the king’s death was kept low-key, and the letter of truce was written by Zhao Mingyu. After many aristocratic families signed it, it was sent to the battlefield.

By now, the war was one-sided.

Zhao Mingyu quickly became the empress, promising Mo Linyuan to look for Ye Mu with all her strength. Mo Linyuan only pondered for one shichen to agree to her request.

The allied forces hastily withdrew. The war immediately stopped, which Min Liang completely didn’t expect. If the allied forces didn’t continue to stall and deplete Mo Country, if the relationship between the new empress and Mo Linyuan was that good, then after Li Country destroyed Yan Country, wouldn’t it be dangerous to border Zhao Country?

But what he didn’t expect even more was, that once the two countries made peace, their soldiers focused on Zhao Country’s frontier to look for Ye Mu.

Because a secret report said Ye Mu was seen within the borders of Zhao Country, Mo Linyuan and his troops directly surrounded this place.

It happened that Zhao Country didn’t mind helping Mo Linyuan control the place. The commoners were frightened, clueless as to what was happening.

Min Liang was caught by surprise like this. He was surrounded in Zhao Country’s border. Even if he still had many useful people with him, Mo’s with Zhao’s troops totaled to more than two hundred thousand people. How could he break the encirclement against so many people and with so many surrounding the place?

But he would be found if he continued to stay. There was no choice, Min Liang ordered his subordinate to change their appearances, and then fit Ye Mu into a coffin and set a real corpse above her.

There was a high chance of success using this method to exit the city, Min Liang thought in his heart, as long as they could leave, Ye Mu would still be in his hands, and the initiative would still be in his hands.

That day leaving the city, all of them disguised as taking part in a funeral procession, wailing along the way.

Like Min Liang had anticipated, even if it was like this, their procession would still keep being examined. Ye Mu was wedged between the crevices of the coffin, so they were able to escape from danger. Soon, they arrived at the last frontier gate. As long as they passed through this gate, they would be safe!

Usually, even if the other party knew they were a funeral procession, they still had to check the coffin. Min Liang nodded and had servants open them.

At this particular moment, suddenly a contingent of troops was just about to enter the city. The person at the head was Mo Linyuan!
