The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Betrayal—these two words may sound harsh, but they are also true.

In a sense, the two people who came were colleagues.

This wasn't a big deal for A-Yuan, since A-Zi was the one who usually trained, practiced, and interacted with these colleagues.

However, Azi has always harbored resentment about this matter.

From Azi's perspective, she had always been reluctant and had no other choice but to comply.

Actually, it's not what you think.

"He's actually a pretty good person!"

Azi quickly waved her hand to explain.

"We're all just pawns in Third Master's game..."

"I don't care about anything else. Third Master raised them, and we have to repay that kindness."

"I'll pay any price, even death..."

At this point, Apin paused slightly.

Chen Changgeng's heart was in his throat.

He was afraid that this woman might accidentally reveal that the two of them had slept together.

Ah Zi gets angry, and then she gets into trouble again.

There's a real risk that they might even turn against us.

However, the problem here is that Chen Changgeng did not trust Ziyuan enough.

Having gone through so much, Azi's mindset has quietly changed.

"I don't want to think about that now."

"I'm already his woman..."

Azi gently bit her lip.

Upon hearing this, Apin was so angry he almost fainted.

It's just...

That damn bastard!

A surge of anger blazed in Apin's eyes!

"Go outside for a moment. I'll give you an answer about what happened here."

Azi turned her head, pulled Chen Changgeng up, and pushed him outside.

Chen Changgeng scratched his head and could only wait outside.

When Azi returned, Apin couldn't hold back any longer, and his voice turned cold.

"Ziyuan, your heart has softened."

"Since you've chosen to oppose us, there's no longer any friendship between us."

"Go ahead and do it, I won't say a word."

Azi didn't say anything, but walked to the bedside and silently untied the ropes binding Apin.

Given her example, Ah Pin was no match for her, so there was naturally no need to worry.

"Don't rush... let me explain slowly."

……

Not long after.

Ah Zi came out.

His face looked rather pale.

Seeing Chen Changgeng suddenly stand up from the stone chair in the courtyard, she shook her head.

Obviously, she didn't get anything out of him.

"Xiang'er should be fine now, and she should still be kept in the Third Prince's residence."

"But the Third Prince's residence is not like the Crown Prince's residence. There are sentries everywhere, both overt and covert. Even if I went there, I would not return."

"If you want to save Xiang'er, you'll need to think of another way."

Chen Changgeng frowned upon hearing this.

"She really didn't say anything?"

Azi remained silent.

Chen Changgeng raised his head, reached out and pushed Azi aside, about to force himself on her.

Unexpectedly, Azi grabbed Chen Changgeng.

"Don't rush me, give me some more time."

"I will definitely ask!"

Chen Changgeng's face turned cold.

"I'm not in a hurry, I can wait. Can Xiang'er wait?"

Upon hearing this, Azi immediately lowered her head in shame.

"I'm not just doing this to Xiang'er. If one day you get arrested..."

Do you want me to wait?

When this question came up, Azi was completely speechless.

Although she was an assassin, she still had a heart.

She really couldn't bring herself to hurt her younger sister, or Ah Pin, with whom she had a fairly good relationship.

In this respect, he's not even as ruthless as Apin.

Of course, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have so easily pledged allegiance to and accepted Chen Changgeng back then.

Therefore, Chen Changgeng did not blame her at this moment.

Her personality is a double-edged sword.

"Promise me... don't torture her."

"If you insist on killing her, then give her a quick death."

Azi held Chen Changgeng's hand tightly and made her final request.

Chen Changgeng nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

Enter the house.

At this moment, Apin had been untied and was sitting in front of the table, looking lost and forlorn.

I don't know what Azi said to her, but she doesn't seem as determined as before.

Upon seeing Chen Changgeng enter, Apin glanced at him slightly.

Although she was skilled in disguise, her actual strength was only average.

She couldn't beat either Chen Changgeng or Azi, so naturally she had no intention of running away.

"I've already given you a chance."

Chen Changgeng sat calmly opposite her.

"For Azi's sake, if you confess honestly, I might spare your life."

"You definitely won't be able to go back until this matter is over. I won't let you leave the Crown Prince's residence."

"You're going to put me under house arrest? You're not going to kill me?"

Apin was somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, if someone like her were caught, even if she revealed what the other party wanted, she would only face certain death.

Did I kill Shion?

"She's still alive and well, isn't she?"

Chen Changgeng asked a question in return.

He wasn't being soft-hearted; rather, he tried to persuade first and then resort to force.

Let's see if we can use this connection with Azi to break through her defenses.

If that doesn't work, then use force.

"Why are you sparing my life?"

"Do you want to keep me by your side too?"

After a long silence, Apin suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Chen Changgeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You are very beautiful, but not so much that I would do something stupid for you."

"My relationship with Azi has another reason."

"Don't worry, you'll be free once it's done."

"Even if you don't trust me, you should trust Shion."

"She will help you."

Seeing that her guard had lowered, Chen Changgeng roughly guessed what Azi had told her.

To the Third Prince Xiao Ce, they were all just pawns, to be used and then discarded.

After Azi's assassination attempt failed, the Third Prince Xiao Ce did not pursue the matter further, as more and more things happened afterward that he could not attend to.

Now, he is also in charge of overseeing the country.

Like Azi, Apin was just an ordinary person with a worthless, wretched life in the eyes of the Third Prince Xiao Ce.

He was a member of the royal family, naturally aloof and superior, having been raised to be so since childhood, with countless servants and slaves serving him from a young age.

Why would I care about these things?

Whether it's Azi, Ayuan, or Apin, no matter what they are, they are still just women, and there's always a soft spot in their hearts.

Once you find this place, exert all your strength, and her heart will naturally belong to you.

This is why Chen Changgeng would never choose a woman as a confidante to handle important matters.

Seeing that Apin remained silent, Chen Changgeng's patience had reached its limit.

"If Ziyuan hadn't begged me, you wouldn't even have the chance to speak now."

"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame me."

Chen Changgeng stood up, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of pure Yang energy arose.

"Hold on……"

Ah Pin quickly looked up and spoke up to stop him.

"I, I'll say..."

"Xiang'er... has been captured by Lin Dequan."
