Song Zhuoxing hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

After catching it, he realized that what Cui Hengyue threw over was the jade pendant he had given her before.

Song Zhuoxing stared at the jade pendant in his hand, which was crystal white and warm, and his mind surged. This jade pendant...

"etc--"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cui Hengyue about to leave, and Song Zhuoxing quickly spoke out.

But Cui Hengyue did not stop and kept walking forward.

In desperation, Song Zhuoxing shouted: "I promise you."

Cui Hengyue finally stopped and turned her back to him.

Song Zhuoxing walked a few steps quickly, walked around to her from behind, and said solemnly: "I promise you that I will help you raise one hundred thousand taels of gold, but you must also promise me one thing."

Cui Hengyue was silent: "...What's the matter?"

"Take this jade pendant. Don't throw it away, don't lose it, don't give it away, and don't let it get damaged."

After saying that, Song Zhuoxing thrust the jade pendant into Cui Hengyue's hand without refusal and took the initiative to step back.

Feeling the remaining warmth on the jade pendant, Cui Hengyue had a complicated mood. She looked down at the jade pendant for a long time, and finally closed her fingers and held the jade pendant tightly.

"Okay, then it will last for three months."

Song Zhuoxing gritted his teeth: "...Okay."

Cui Hengyue changed direction and walked towards the North Cave.

If three months later, this brat really raises one hundred thousand taels of gold for her, she will believe what happened before and that he was forced to do so and did not really want to harm her.

Runzhu walked out of the darkness, glanced at Cui Hengyue whose back was getting blurry, turned back to Song Zhuoxing and said, "Sanlang, why did you give that jade pendant to Miss Cui again?

"That's the young master's jade pendant. If you gave it to her, how could those people listen to you?"

The figure disappeared, and Song Zhuoxing withdrew his gaze and said solemnly: "Those people are loyal to the capable young master, not a jade pendant."

Runzhu was thoughtful.

The next moment, he heard Song Zhuoxing murmur: "Besides, without her, that jade pendant is useless."

Runzhu was confused and asked: "Sanlang, what do you mean by this? What is the relationship between Miss Cui and the jade pendant?"

Song Zhuoxing did not answer this question, but ordered him: "Send a message to Qingbai and raise one hundred thousand taels of gold as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Runzhu's expression changed greatly: "Sanlang, our money is of great use and cannot be given to Miss Cui."

"I have promised her and I must keep it."

"..."

Seeing Song Zhuoxing's firm attitude, Runzhu felt helpless: "Sanlang, it's not that I don't want to, it's that we don't have that much money."

Song Zhuoxing's expression became very solemn. He was silent for a while and then said: "Let Qingbai raise money first and see how much there is..."

After Song Zhuoxing and Runzhu left, Zhang Wulang and Luo Sanniang walked out from behind the veranda pillars in the distance.

"Did you hear what they said?" Zhang Wulang asked.

Luo Sanniang said angrily: "It's so far away, how can I hear you?"

After saying that, he lifted his feet and walked down the stone steps.

Zhang Wulang looked around and saw that there were no guards, so he went after Luo Sanniang: "Hey, wait for me."

"Why are you following me?" Luo Sanniang kept walking.

"Whatever you do, I will do."

Hearing this, Luo Sanniang paused and turned to look at Zhang Wulang: "Do you know what I am going to do?"

Zhang Wulang curled his lips, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "If I guessed correctly, you want to kill Cui Hengyue."

Luo Sanniang's heart skipped a beat and she scolded: "Stop talking nonsense. I don't want to kill anyone and I don't have any martial arts skills."

"Haha, you still want to lie to us?" Zhang Wulang looked disdainful: "I already knew that you knew martial arts.

"Besides, I saw it that day, you wanted to put Cui Hengyue to death."

Is she that bad? She actually let this brat see it.

Luo Sanniang was in a bad mood, turned around and walked towards the south courtyard: "I don't have it."

"Why deny it?"

Zhang Wulang quickened his pace, walked around in front of Luo Sanniang, and stretched out his hand to stop her: "To be honest, I also want to kill Cui Hengyue.

"Since you and I have the same goal, how about joining forces?"

Seeing Zhang Wulang take the initiative to reveal his purpose, Luo Sanniang stopped: "Do you really want to kill Cui Hengyue?"

"yes."

"Okay, then I will join forces with you."

Luo Sanniang changed direction again and headed towards the North Cave.

When they arrived near the North Cave, Zhang Wulang proposed: "In this way, I will deal with these two guards. You go in and kill Cui Hengyue. I will deal with them and then I will help you."

Want to kill two birds with one stone?

Luo Sanniang said calmly: "Although I know martial arts, I'm not good at martial arts. I'm afraid I can't deal with Cui Hengyue by myself.

"If she runs out and invites the patrolling guards, we will be dead."

If you can't deal with Cui Hengyue alone, why would you come to the North Cave at night?

Zhang Wulang did not expose her, but followed her words and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm at the door. If she runs out, I will stop her."

I really want to sit back and enjoy the results.

Luo Sanniang sneered in her heart, but said worriedly: "What if she screams inside and calls the guards?"

Without waiting for Zhang Wulang to answer, Luo Sanniang continued: "So, Zhang Langjun still has to take action.

"Let's do this. Let's get rid of the guards together first, and then we can kill Cui Hengyue together."

The plan was exposed, and Zhang Wulang had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

So Luo Sanniang and Zhang Wulang took out their face towels, covered their faces, and quietly approached the gate of the North Cave.

"who?"

As soon as the guard noticed someone approaching, he was restrained by the person. Then he felt pain in his neck and fainted.

"Walk."

Luo Sanniang and Zhang Wulang pushed open the door and walked in quietly.

"It turns out that the North Catacombs look like this..."

It was the first time for Zhang Wulang to step into the North Cave, and he saw that the layout inside was a bit strange.

Luo Sanniang scolded: "Be serious and don't forget our purpose."

Zhang Wulang looked stern and withdrew his gaze: "I understand."

Approaching the room inside, Luo Sanniang made a silencing gesture to Zhang Wulang and stepped lightly again.

Zhang Wulang followed suit and slowed down, his eyes fixed on the room.

Arriving at the door, Luo Sanniang first put her hand on the door and pushed it gently.

The door is still closed.

So Luo Sanniang took out a thin piece of bamboo, inserted it into the gap in the middle of the door, pressed it against the door bolt, and moved it slowly.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the door bolt was released.

Luo Sanniang and Zhang Wulang looked at each other, then opened the door at the same time and sneaked into the room.

The two of them took advantage of the candlelight in the passage outside and ran straight to the bed. They raised the bamboo pieces in their hands and stabbed them on the quilt.

After a few stabs, there was no scream or struggle. Zhang Wulang felt something was wrong and stopped Luo Sanniang: "That's not right..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Wulang was stabbed in the back.

Later, Luo Sanniang was also stabbed in the back.

"I just realized it now, it's a little late."

Cui Hengyue pulled out the knife and stabbed Luo Sanniang again, but Zhang Wulang blocked it with a bamboo piece.

Luo Sanniang took the opportunity to stab Cui Hengyue with the bamboo piece in her hand.

Cui Hengyue jumped up and dodged the attack.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing Luo Sanniang swaying and falling down, Zhang Wulang hurriedly supported her.

Luo Sanniang waved away Zhang Wulang's hand and said coldly: "I can't die."

Before she finished speaking, she rushed towards Cui Hengyue.

Seeing this, Zhang Wulang hurriedly went to help.
