Only one person in the world would call her Xiuxiang. Fang Jinxiu stiffened all over, she never expected that the master of Wuyougong would actually be Jiang Chuang.

Zong Yu was even more acutely aware of the meaning behind these two words. As soon as the head of Wu You Pavilion finished speaking, his fist had already smashed toward his mask.

The two of them started fighting without any warning.

Fāng Jǐnxiù was dumbfounded. What was going on How could yù suddenly attack

"Stop it, do you guys want to make even more noise"

"Shall I call everyone in the manor to watch you fight"

"Ayu, stop."

Jiang Chuang couldn't defeat Zong Yu, who punched him hard in the face. After delivering the punch, Zong Yu was still unsatisfied. He raised his arm to continue, but Fang Jinshu's scolding voice stopped him. He paused for a moment and coldly released Jiang Chuang's collar.

During the fight, Jiang Chuang's face mask had long fallen off.

A handsome face, well-proportioned and striking, was now marred by a large, red swelling courtesy of Zongyu's fists. It looked rather comical.

After getting up, Jiang Chuang was furious.

"Zong! You are despicable!"

The victorious Zongyu returned to his wife's side, his face still grim, as if a ton of TNT was pressed inside him, ready to explode at any moment.

"Back then, if it weren't for your subordinates, Jinxiu wouldn't have been injured and almost lost her life."

He quelled all of Jiang Chuang's anger with a single sentence.

Later, he learned that Fang Nüzi was Xiu Xiu, and sent someone to investigate her past in Xizhou.

When he heard that she had also been hunted by Xi Zhou's subordinates, Jiang Chuang almost vomited blood in anger, feeling incredibly guilty inside.

He claims ignorance, but that's just an excuse. It was his own assassin organization that almost took the life of someone he cared about most. If Xiu Xiu had truly died at the hands of the assassins in Wuyougong, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Well, he was unaware of it back then."

If Jiang Chuang knew, he wouldn't be making this face now.

"Here, this is yours."

Since it was Xiu Xiu who came to inquire about the news, Jiang Chuang naturally wouldn't take her things. He returned the immunity certificate in his hand.

Zong Yu's jaw clenched so tightly, he was about to refuse when he heard his wife speak first.

"No need, business is business. Since I've already given you the goods, there's no reason to take them back."

"If you truly feel even a sliver of guilt towards me, then help me out."

"The Western Xia's documents on entering the pass."

Jiang Chuang and Zong Yu unexpectedly spoke out to stop him at the same time.

"No!"

Zong Yu glared at Jiang Chuang angrily, but Jiang Chuang didn't care and said with a serious face.

"You can't go to Xixia."

>"The relationship between Daxixi and Xixia is not good, and the Xixia people have always coveted Daxixi's territory. It's not safe over there."

Zongyu now holds a high position, so he naturally knows more about some things in the court than outsiders.

"Western Xia is restless and a war may break out soon."

"If you want Li Lie's head, I will definitely help you get it and bring it back."

"You needn't go yourself."

Fāng Jǐnxiù's face darkened. "Stop giving me empty promises, both of you."

"But it was all just an excuse you guys used to stop me from going to Xixia to seek revenge on Li Lie."

"Battles between two great nations don't end in a day or two, let alone taking the head of an enemy prince."

“Li Lie’s fate, is destined to be ended by my own hands. I don’t need anyone else to interfere.”

She looked at Jiang Chuang, "Are you going to help me or not"

Jiang Zhuan frowned, "I can help you infiltrate Xixia to kill Jiang Zhuan, but I have one condition."

What conditions

Jiang Chuang glanced at Zong Yu, a smirk playing on his lips.

"I want you back by my side."

Fang Jinshu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Coming back to your side, Jiang Chuang, I'd only consider you as a brother, a friend."

"I don't love you."

A flash of hurt crossed Jiang Chuang's eyes, Zong Yu raising an eyebrow in triumph.

"Okay, okay, I know you don't like me. At least we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Do you really have to be so blunt with me"

"I find that you're not as cute as you were when you were little."

"It's precisely because we grew up together as companions that I say this," Fang Jinshi said angrily.

"I don't want to keep you hanging, nor do I want to waste your time. As your sister, I've always felt you deserve a better woman."

"Jiang Chuang, break ties with Yuan Buyu. Don't die for him anymore."

She truly didn't want to be on opposite sides from him one day, swords drawn.

Jiang Chuang gave a self-deprecating smile. "Some things, are no longer up to my will."

"Don't you know, you're not in control"

"I can't cut ties with him."

But at the same time, he couldn't tell Xiu Xiu directly that the person who desperately wanted their lives and had formed a deep blood feud with them was his biological father now.

Yuan Buyu is hateful and despicable, but without him, he wouldn't be able to survive in this world, let alone have everything he has today.

Even if we assume Yuan Buyu's influence is overstated, the hidden forces surrounding him are numerous and even he may be unaware of their extent. To kill him would be more difficult than infiltrating the Western Xia palace to assassinate Li Lie.

"Okay, I respect your choice."

"In the future, I hope we will never reach a point where we have to draw swords against each other."

After finishing her words, Fang Jinshu pulled Zong Yu away.

Zongyu was somewhat pleased. Facing Jiang Chuang's repeated temptations, Jinxiu never wavered from beginning to end.

To be honest, over the years, many men have come and gone around her, but none of them ever made her feel threatened like Jiang Chuang did.

In the past, Jinxiu didn't have deep feelings for those people, including Zhao Xingzhou. At most, they were just friends.

But for Jiang Chuang, she had a sense of reluctance in her heart and unwillingness in her eyes.

As soon as I thought about these honors, the desire for possession in my heart began to swell and take over, pressing down on my chest as if it wanted to burst.

On the way back, Fang Jinxiu didn't say a word. When they reached outside the guest room, Zongyu couldn't help but grab Fang Jinxiu's wrist.

"You are angry."

Fang Jinshui smiled back, "No."

No, her forced smile clearly showed that she was angry. Zong Yu knew it.

"If you insist on going to Xixia, I'll accompany you."

Fang Jinxiu frowned, "You are now Daxi's Marquis Wuding, with over 50,000 elite soldiers under your command. The Emperor won't allow you to leave the capital at will, let alone go to Xixia."

"Then you should give up the title of Martial Marquis and military command," Zhuge said.

"Whither you go, I will go."

He always wanted to protect only his family, Jinxiu was the most important existence in his life.

"No, you're just pushing me."

Everything you have now was earned through your sweat and blood. After barely surviving on the battlefield several times, how can you just give up

Moreover, our family has made so many enemies now. If we lose military power, I'm afraid before we even get out of the Daxia territory, we'll be crushed.

Zong Yu hugged Fang Jinxiu tightly, "If you won't let me go, then I won't let you go either."

If something happens to you in Xixia, I will slaughter every single person there.

Fang Jinxiu was startled. Turning her head, she caught a flash of ruthlessness in Zong Yu's eyes. His tone didn't sound like he was joking at all.
