The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 279 Choosing the Throne or the Beauty

Yunwei leaned weakly against the car wall and said indifferently, "I've already said that my master didn't leave me any notes, so why waste your time on me?"

Dongfang Du sat in the shadows of the carriage, his expression dark and unreadable. "You are Master's most beloved disciple. When he was dying, you were the only one by his side. How could he not leave his life's work to you?"

Now that you are pregnant, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the baby in your belly.

You've only been here for a little over a month, you haven't even settled in properly yet. With all this jolting, if something happens, you'll regret it.

Yun Wei pursed her lips and remained silent. In fact, she was indeed a little worried about the baby in her womb, after all, it was only a little over a month old and hadn't even settled in yet...

"In addition, I could also hand you over to Emperor Wei. You should know that if you fall into Emperor Wei's hands, he will have a bargaining chip to restrain Rong Zhen."

Currently, Rong Zhen has the upper hand, but if Emperor Wei has you in his hands, the situation will be reversed. I think you wouldn't want to see the esteemed Regent Prince fall into the hands of his good nephew, would you?

"The Wei Emperor has been subservient to the Regent for many years and has always dreamed of tearing the Regent to pieces. If the Regent really loses to him, do you think the Regent will have a good ending?" Dongfang Du continued.

Yunwei naturally understood how much Rong Xin hated Rong Zhen. If Rong Zhen lost this time, everything would be over.

But when facing Dongfang Du, she said sarcastically, "You think too highly of me. Faced with the fate of the country, any man would choose the country without hesitation. You think you can use me to threaten Rong Zhen? You've miscalculated."

Dongfang Du said calmly, "Based on my observations over this period of time, Rong Zhen loves you to the bone and values ​​you more than anything else. If you fall into the hands of Emperor Wei, he will definitely be hesitant to act against you and will be easily defeated."

"Women and power, even a fool knows which to choose. If it were you, would you choose women?" Yun Wei scoffed.

Dongfang Du paused for a moment before saying, "If it were someone else, they would definitely choose Jiangshan, but Rong Zhen would absolutely choose you."

"Stop daydreaming. Rong Zhen has been planning this for a long time. He would never give up the empire that is within his grasp for my sake," Yun Wei said firmly.

"Stubborn!" Dongfang Du snorted coldly, then suddenly ordered, "Turn around and head to West Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Yunwei's heart sank.

This spring hunt will take place in the Western Hills.

If Dongfang Du really hands her over to Rong Xin, then Rong Zhen...

She never doubted Rong Zhen's feelings for her.

If she really falls into Rong Xin's hands, it will inevitably affect Rong Zhen.

But she couldn't panic at this moment.

The more flustered she appeared, the more leverage Dongfang Du had to restrain her.

"Go ahead, I can also see if Rong Zhen is sincere or not towards me," Yun Wei said nonchalantly.

Dongfang Du stared at her for a moment, then asked, "Is that really what you think?"

"What else? I'm right here in your hands," Yun Wei retorted sarcastically.

Dongfang Du paused for a moment, intending to reason with her and appeal to her emotions, "After all, Rong Zhen and you were husband and wife. Can you really bear to see him lose to the Wei Emperor? As long as you obediently hand over your master's letter, we will not go to Xishan. Without your influence, Rong Zhen will surely seize the Wei Kingdom's territory."

Then you will be the glorious Empress of Wei, and I will never appear before you again. Wouldn't that be better?

“That’s good, but the problem is I don’t have any of those notes you’re talking about. If you want treasure, I can find it for you, but I really can’t give you my master’s notes.” Yun Wei said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Du suddenly became somewhat agitated. "Yunwei! You clearly have no interest in the secret of immortality, so why do you insist on hogging Master's notes? Give me the notes, and I will definitely be able to unlock the secret of immortality. At that time, I am willing to share this secret with you and let you reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

“Who wouldn’t be interested in immortality? I am too. If I had my master’s notes, I would have already unraveled the secret myself. Why would I be here waiting for you to threaten me?” Yun Wei sneered.

"Yunwei!" Dongfang Du roared, suddenly grabbing Yunwei's neck. "I've only tolerated you because we're from the same sect. If you keep testing my patience like this, it won't do you any good!"

Yunwei's vision went black from being choked. "Then just strangle me to death, so I won't have to suffer your coercion here." Dongfang Du angrily let go of her.

Yunwei slipped and fell.

The carriage fell into a deathly silence.

The only sound was the steady creak of the horse-drawn carriage on the road.

"Master, we've reached the Western Hills."

After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Du's subordinates reported from outside.

Dongfang Du's eyes were filled with malice. Seeing that Yun Wei remained unmoved, he said indifferently, "Turn around and go to Wangjia Village."

"Yes."

Wangjia Village?
Yunwei's heart skipped a beat.

That was the village where her adoptive parents lived, but it was far from the capital.

What was Dongfang Du doing taking her to Wangjia Village?
But no matter what, going to Wangjia Village is better than going to Xishan.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes.

Although she felt weak, she needed to rest because she was carrying a baby.

Haitang, who was far behind, was puzzled when she saw the carriage travel towards the western mountains for a while before turning back onto the official road.

Where is that man taking the princess?

She dared not get too close, for fear of disturbing the people in the carriage.

Before she could figure out the other party's strength, she dared not rashly attempt to rescue Yun Wei, otherwise alerting the enemy would only cause more trouble for the operation.

As night fell, seeing that the people in the carriage had not sought lodging at an inn but instead slept in the wilderness, Haitang was even more certain of her suspicions that the princess had been kidnapped.

But who is so bold as to kidnap the Regent's wife?
Moreover, Yunwei's martial arts skills are so high, who has the ability to kidnap her?
A series of questions flashed through Haitang's mind.

She lay prone in the grass, watching the movement of the carriage in the distance.

But at that moment, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

She was startled and was about to draw her sword when she heard Feng Huai say in a low voice, "It's me!"

Haitang turned her head and saw that it was indeed Feng Huai.

Young Master Feng, meanwhile, crouched down beside her, watching the commotion ahead with her.

Haitang was very surprised, "How did you get here?"

"Don't speak, the people in the carriage have gotten off." Feng Huai said, and then lay down next to her.

Seeing that a man had indeed stepped out of the carriage, Haitang forgot her astonishment and stared intently at him.

They were quite far apart, but the man's coachman had already started a fire in the open space. By the light of the fire, Haitang could vaguely see that the man was quite handsome.

However, after searching her memory, Haitang couldn't find any information about this person; she had never met him.

"That is the Grand Preceptor of the Western Continent Kingdom, Dongfang Du."

Just then, Feng Huai lowered his voice and explained the situation to her.
