Chapter 434 Psychological Presuppositions
However, the next few short arrows failed to hit Jiang Liuyun.

Lin Zhiqing was worried and afraid.

But she knew that she needed to stay calm, especially in situations like this.

While Jiang Liuyun was dodging, she briefly played the flute to make sure he heard it, then quickly snapped her fingers:

"Jiang Liuyun, look where you are right now?"

Jiang Liuyun paused, then looked around, his eyes gradually changing from clear to confused.

"Hey, listen to me, you're injured and you're in the clinic now."

"Listen carefully, I'm about to snap my fingers. When you hear the snap, you'll wake up in the clinic."

Jiang Liuyun stood still, motionless, his eyes still filled with confusion.

"Snapped!"

Lin Zhiqing snapped his fingers.

The next moment, Jiang Liuyun's eyes cleared instantly.

He looked at Lin Zhiqing, as if waiting for further instructions.

Lin Zhiqing gripped the umbrella tightly, tucked the jade flute into his waistband, and then clapped his hands twice.

Jiang Liuyun immediately walked towards him.

Thankfully, the hypnosis was successful.

Lin Zhiqing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, when she successfully hypnotized Jiang Liuyun and put him into a dream, she had set a psychological presupposition in his mind.

If Lin Zhiqing uses the jade flute again, Jiang Liuyun will definitely be confused.

Only under such circumstances could Lin Zhiqing use simple methods to hypnotize Jiang Liuyun again.

In retrospect, she was right to do it.

Jiang Liuyun was completely unaware that Lin Zhiqing had left a psychological preconceived notion in his subconscious.

This situation presents Lin Zhiqing with his best opportunity.

Jiang Liuyun slowly stood in front of her, and she had two choices.

First, kill Jiang Liuyun directly.

Second, they used Jiang Liuyun as a hostage to threaten his subordinates.

Given the current situation, if Jiang Liuyun is killed directly, the crowd below will be leaderless and may disperse or take action.

What Lin Zhiqing feared was that the people of Daliang were not entirely following Jiang Liuyun's orders, but rather Jiang Yunhe's.

Based on her understanding of the father and son, she was certain that those people from Daliang were working for Jiang Yunhe.

If she kills Jiang Liuyun, it is very likely that it will not affect the Liang people's plan to rescue Jiang Yunhe.

Therefore, it seems better to treat Jiang Liuyun as a hostage.

There's no need to take him hostage; just control him to make decisions that would be detrimental to rescuing Jiang Yunhe.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Zhiqing's mind quickly. She did not make a move against Jiang Liuyun for the time being, but instead took out the Wangshu Mirror and placed it in front of Jiang Liuyun.

Then, she slowly began to speak:
"Look at the bronze mirror and tell me, what do you see?"

Jiang Liuyun opened his mouth mechanically:

"Doctor, the medicinal herbs."

Yes, it's still in the medical clinic environment that Lin Zhiqing set out for.

"Tell me, what are you going to do after you leave the clinic?" Lin Zhiqing began to probe for information.

"Go to Xuanwu Gate and save my father."

"Only you?"

"No, there are also the men my father left behind."

"People from Daliang?"

"People from Daliang."

"How to save?"

"First, stall Lin Zhiqing, then, then..."

When the conversation reached its crucial point, Jiang Liuyun raised his hand and covered his head.

He has a headache!

Lin Zhiqing immediately realized that this question was taboo in Jiang Liuyun's subconscious.

If she insisted on investigating, she might force Jiang Liuyun to wake up. "Don't worry, someone will come to apply the medicine for you soon," Lin Zhiqing immediately reassured her.

Seeing that Jiang Liuyun had quieted down again, Lin Zhiqing looked at his shoulder blades.

He was dressed in all black today, but bloodstains were still visible on his shoulder.

Lin Zhiqing dared not relax in the slightest and opened his mouth to say:
"Follow my steps and go down."

Then, she turned and walked down the city wall.

In any case, Jiang Liuyun doesn't look much different now than he does on ordinary days.

If Lin Zhiqing pretends to be held hostage by Jiang Liuyun, she should be able to fool most people.

As for other matters, we'll discuss them at the execution ground.

Lin Zhiqing did not want to stay on the city wall.

She always felt that there was a gloomy atmosphere around her, as if a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows.

She stepped onto the first step.

A footstep sounded.

These are her own footsteps.

Lin Zhiqing took two steps, then suddenly turned her head. She didn't hear Jiang Liuyun's footsteps!

As she turned her head, she met a pair of extremely cold eyes.

That wasn't Jiang Liuyun's gaze.

Lin Zhiqing's pupils contracted slightly. "Mole Girl!"

Mole Lady was pressing on Jiang Liuyun's shoulder to prevent him from moving.

Do not!
She's not a mole-prone woman!
The woman with the mole had a small mole at the corner of her eye, but the woman in front of her did not.

Mole Mother is dead; Lin Yangyang personally watched her breathe her last.

The woman in front of me was dressed in black, extremely cold-blooded, and looked like a ruthless killer.

Whoever she is, she's definitely not a friend!

Lin Zhiqing didn't have time to think too much. With lightning speed, he took out the umbrella again, pointed it at the woman, and pressed the switch.

"call out!"

The short arrow pierced the air, struck the city wall, bounced weakly, and rolled to the ground.

Lin Zhiqing sensed a powerful killing intent and pressed the switch several times in succession.

But the next moment, a powerful pull came from the other end of the umbrella, pulling her up to the top of the city wall.

Without that umbrella, Lin Zhiqing was left with only the jade flute.

She gripped the umbrella handle tightly, refusing to let go.

The next moment, a tremendous force struck her, and she instantly fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through her hand.

Lin Zhiqing looked up and saw that the woman was stomping hard on his hand.

Then, the woman lifted her chin, as if observing something.

Lin Zhiqing was completely unable to escape the control of someone who possessed martial arts skills.

After a long while, the woman finally spoke slowly:
"She is indeed quite attractive; no wonder so many men are willing to do anything for her."

"Even the Umbrella Maiden has fallen to your hands."

"You owe me another life."

As she spoke, she slapped Lin Zhiqing's face away and increased the force of her kick.

Even so, Lin Zhiqing did not let go of the umbrella.

"Who are you?" She asked, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, but she still looked at the woman.

"Me?" The woman chuckled softly, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
"Of course, it's the one who will take your life."

Her lips were tightly closed, as if she were thinking of something; her chest rose and fell slightly, and her eyes slowly widened.

This is an expression of extreme disgust.

In other words, this woman hated Lin Zhiqing to the core and wished she could kill him.

Lin Zhiqing frowned. Was it just because of the mole-wielding woman and the woman holding the umbrella?

Do not!
If it were because of the woman with the mole and the woman holding the umbrella, then the woman wouldn't have lifted her chin and brought up anything related to men.

Does she like Jiang Liuyun?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing quickly spoke:
"If you kill me, Jiang Liuyun will never wake up again!"
