Chapter 437 Conscience Discovery
Lin Zhiqing was completely unable to move.

She knew that Jinniang's silk ribbon, though seemingly soft, was actually a powerful weapon.

If she were hit, she would lose her life.

She struggled to control her fingers, trying to open the umbrella as a form of defense.

However, no matter what, she could not move her body.

"His!"

At the critical moment, the ribbon broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Lin Zhiqing rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Liuyun.

He held a sword in his hand, his lips pressed tightly together.

The ribbon snapped, and the momentum carried Jinniang's body, causing her to stagger a few steps.

After regaining her footing, she looked at Jiang Liuyun again: "You're protecting her?"

"Jinniang, you should go." Jiang Liuyun said, his brows furrowing slightly as if the wound on his shoulder had been aggravated.

Jinniang had never studied the art of mind reading, but having spent so much time with Jiang Liuyun, she clearly understood the meaning behind every expression and movement he made.

"You're injured, did she do it?" Jinniang pointed at Lin Zhiqing again, her tone somewhat anxious.

Jiang Liuyun turned slightly to the side: "Jinniang, with me here, you can't kill her."

"You go."

Jinniang was taken aback, then scoffed:
"Are you already trying to get rid of me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuyun did not react, but alarm bells rang in Lin Zhiqing's mind.

As Jinniang spoke, she took a step back, but her eyes remained fixed on Lin Zhiqing.

This is a buffer phase before the attack.

In addition, Jinniang's high eyebrows and tightly spaced brows indicated that she was very agitated.

Lin Zhiqing is not afraid of people, but she is afraid of madmen whose emotions are out of control.

If Jinniang in front of her is provoked, she will definitely do something to harm her.

Just as she feared, Jinniang launched a second attack on Lin Zhiqing after finishing her conversation with Jiang Liuyun.

Jiang Liuyun blocked it again.

"Jiang Liuyun, you've gone mad! She ruined your father, and she ruined you too!" Jinniang was furious.

Jiang Liuyun stood in front of Lin Zhiqing and said softly, "I was the one who wronged her first."

Lin Zhiqing was taken aback. What was this all about?
Conscience discovered?
Then, Jiang Liuyun and Jinniang started fighting right in front of her.

Things took an unexpected turn.

Judging from their movements alone, Lin Zhiqing could tell that Jinniang was a master, even more skilled than the woman holding the umbrella.

The woman holding the umbrella relied more on it than on the umbrella itself, but Jinniang's skills were genuine.

She used deadly moves.

However, when facing Jiang Liuyun, his killing move became somewhat restrained.

She couldn't bring herself to do it!
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, Jiang Liuyun is at least safe.

If Jiang Liuyun is safe, then she is at least safe as well.

Jiang Liuyun and Jinniang were locked in a fierce battle, while Lin Zhiqing was trying to come up with a solution.

What should she do now?
That damned Jiang Liuyun, if he wins the fight later, he'll definitely take her away.

If she is taken away, it will be very difficult for others to find her.

No!

Lin Zhiqing even pondered in her mind whether there was any psychology that could help her get out of her limp state.

But how can a mental attack possibly counteract a physical attack!

wide awake!

You must stay awake!

and many more!

Lin Zhiqing's eyes darted around, her right hand!
Her right hand was hurt badly from being stepped on by Jinniang, and she still felt a slight pain.

pain!
That's right, it hurts!

Perhaps the pain will bring her back to her senses and help her regain control of her body? Never mind, let's give it a try!
Lin Zhiqing gritted her teeth and moved to the right, trying to make her body fall down and press down on her right hand.

No matter how hard she tried, her body remained completely still.

To make matters worse, Jiang Liuyun and Jinniang broke up!
The two faced each other silently, without saying a word.

Could it be that the fight is over?
Lin Zhiqing's heart was pounding like a drum. No, not yet!
The time hasn't come yet, and the person hasn't arrived either!
Jiang Liuyun was unaware of Lin Zhiqing's inner thoughts. He took a deep breath:

"Jinniang, I don't have time to argue with you today."

"The people from the Ministry of Justice should be halfway there already. I have to save my father!"

"Killing Lin Zhiqing is the best way to save the Marquis!" Jinniang retracted the silk ribbon:
"I used to think you were extremely smart, but why do you lose all your rationality when you're around Lin Zhiqing?"

That was extremely impolite of you to say it.

Jiang Liuyun frowned deeply: "On what grounds are you saying this to me?"

"Is she my Jinniang, or one of my father's men?"

Jinniang looked directly at Jiang Liuyun: "Both of them are me."

“The Jinniang of the past would not have disobeyed you like this, but the Jinniang of the past was not the real me.”

"Your gentleness and tenderness are fake, your obedience is fake, and if you want to put me back into that old shell, it's impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuyun closed his eyes:
"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say between us..."

"call out!"

Before Jiang Liuyun could finish speaking, he heard the familiar sound of arrows being shot.

Back!

The arrow was aimed at his back!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw Jinniang's expression tighten and she quickly stepped forward to block him.

His pupils contracted, and he quickly turned his head, but Jinniang's muffled groan reached his ears first.

Then, what he saw was a blinding red!
The arrow struck Jinniang squarely in the heart.

Jinniang collapsed into Jiang Liuyun's arms.

She took an arrow for Jiang Liuyun!
Lin Zhiqing was facing them and happened to see all of this.

"Jinniang!" Jiang Liuyun shouted, hugged her tightly, and looked in the direction from which the arrows had come.

That was a familiar spot, the very spot where they had once shot their arrows at Liu Mang!

Dressed in red, Lin Yangyang slowly lowered her bow and arrow and met Jiang Liuyun's gaze.

"Lin Yangyang!" Jiang Liuyun roared, looking at Lin Zhiqing.

Clearly, he sensed something was wrong.

Why is Lin Yangyang here?

Her right hand was useless, and although she could use some moves with her left hand, she was absolutely unable to draw a longbow.

What exactly is going on?

Without a second thought, he scooped up Jinniang and walked toward Lin Zhiqing.

It was obvious that he wanted to take Lin Zhiqing away.

No!

Lin Zhiqing knew very well that if she were taken away and taken to Daliang, it would be a real problem!
Jiang Liuyun bent down and grabbed Lin Zhiqing's wrist.

"Da, da da!"

A series of footsteps sounded, Lin Zhiqing's eyes lit up, and Jiang Liuyun paused.

Sensing that the visitor was hostile and that he might only be able to take one person with him, Jiang Liuyun gritted his teeth and looked at Jinniang's pale face, unable to bring himself to do it.

"Lin Zhiqing, you're awesome!" He said through gritted teeth, and without further hesitation, he leaped off the city wall.

At the same time, Lu Huai was the first to go up the city wall.

"Ah Qing!" He quickly ran to Lin Zhiqing and checked on her condition.

Then, Lin Shi'an and Yan Yu followed.

"Zhiqing, how are you?" Lin Shi'an couldn't help but get anxious when he saw that Lin Zhiqing didn't speak.

Lu Huai narrowed his eyes and quickly saw the problem:

"She may have been given a muscle relaxant or similar drug!"

"Go to the vicinity of the execution ground and find my sister!"
