Chapter 869 My View
"What a fine example of mutual affection." Zhang Yuelu's mocking expression gradually turned somewhat sorrowful as she continued, "Can loving someone really make you disregard your life?"
Zhang Yuelu is a ruthless killer who doesn't understand emotions at all. She can't even comprehend Lin Ping and Meng Qingge's behavior.
"A selfish person like you, of course you wouldn't know how to give to others," Lin Ping said coldly. "Life is precious, but love is even more valuable!"
"Life is precious, but love is even more valuable?" Zhang Yuelu pondered for a moment, then said, "That's a pity. A female demon like me only lives for myself. What I yearn for is freedom!"
Lin Ping had intended to intimidate the other party with high-sounding words, but upon hearing Zhang Yuelu's words, "What I yearn for is freedom," Lin Ping knew he had lost, and lost utterly.
Life is precious, love is even more so, and there's also the saying, "But for freedom, both can be sacrificed!"
Therefore, Zhang Yuelu's pursuits are far more noble than Lin Ping's, and he has no right to criticize her.
Moreover, Lin Ping vaguely sensed other emotions in Zhang Yuelu's voice; she didn't seem to be the kind of person who lived only for herself.
"Can I ask you for a favor?" Lin Ping said in a low voice, completely lacking the arrogance he had shown earlier.
Zhang Yuelu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Little brother, I never thought you'd ever ask me for a favor. Tell me, if it's something your big sister can do, I'll try my best not to help!"
Lin Ping was almost furious at her words, but finally pleaded, "Could you shake off the carriage behind us?"
"Huh? You don't want her to come along? I'm not going to kill her." Zhang Yuelu asked, puzzled. She had already promised Lin Ping not to kill Meng Qingge.
“The journey is long and she can’t bear the hardships. Besides, as long as she knows where I am, she will do everything she can to rescue me, even if it costs her her life,” Lin Ping answered truthfully.
"Then I'll let you experience the pain of being jostled!" Zhang Yuelu said angrily.
For some reason, Meng Qingge would feel a pang of hatred whenever Lin Ping showed concern for her.
Giddy up! Giddy up!
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yuelu lashed the horse's rump hard with the reins.
The reins were already rough, and coupled with Zhang Yuelu's amazing strength, a bloody welt appeared on the horse's rump, and it ran forward like a madman.
The Daye Dynasty didn't have asphalt roads; even the wide official roads were muddy. In addition, the carriages didn't have good shock absorption devices, and Lin Ping, lying in the sack, almost flew off.
Before he could even fly out of the carriage, he crashed heavily back inside. In no time, he felt dizzy and his whole body ached.
Just as Zhang Yuelu accelerated, Meng Qingge also sped up behind her. Although she wasn't tied up in a sack like Lin Ping, her body was still struggling to keep up.
"Little brother, how does it feel?" Zhang Yuelu asked provocatively.
"That feels great! Can it go any faster?" Lin Ping shouted, enduring the excruciating pain of his body falling apart.
"They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin." Zhang Yuelu sneered and sped up the carriage again.
Because the steed was in unbearable pain, its body kept swaying from side to side, causing Lin Ping to sway from side to side as he lurched up and down.
Lying in the sack, he kept bumping into various corners of the carriage, making his already frail body even worse.
Lin Ping did this for only one purpose: to get rid of Meng Qingge and cut off her idea of rescuing him. Even though he would be heartbroken, it was better than being physically injured.
"Driver, go faster!" Meng Qingge said anxiously as she watched Lin Ping's carriage speed up.
"Young Miss, as you can see, this is the fastest the old horse can run. Besides, my body can't take it anymore," the coachman replied truthfully.
He was just an old man, and his physical condition was incomparable to Zhang Yuelu's. This speed was already too much for his old bones to handle, so he had no ability to continue at a high speed.
"I'll do it myself." Meng Qingge didn't care about anything else and snatched the reins from the driver to drive the car herself.
The driver, naturally distrustful of her driving skills, risked being injured by falling and jumped off from behind.
Giddy up! Giddy up!
Meng Qingge whipped the drowsy horse like a madwoman, ignoring the bloodstains on her delicate hands from the reins.
The old horse went berserk, accelerating incessantly, but losing control of its direction.
Facing a thick, sturdy tree ahead, the old horse charged straight towards it.
"Watch out!" Lin Ping shouted.
He had been monitoring Meng Qingge's every move with X-rays and sensed the danger she was in.
If he hadn't been stuffed in a sack, Lin Ping would have rushed to the front of the carriage without hesitation.
"Noisy!"
Zhang Yuelu's eyes were filled with disdain as a short sword flew from her hand and landed squarely on the belly of the horse behind her.
puff!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the old horse died instantly, its body collapsing limply to the ground.
Due to inertia, the carriage behind crashed into the carcass of the worn-out horse and came to an instantaneous stop. This sudden braking would undoubtedly cause Meng Qingge to lurch forward.
Fortunately, her already torn and bleeding hands clung tightly to the reins, preventing her from leaping off the horse.
Seeing this, Lin Ping finally felt relieved and sincerely thanked Zhang Yuelu.
"I just felt the carriage behind us was too noisy, not that I wanted to save her," Zhang Yuelu replied dismissively, her cold voice surprisingly carrying a hint of warmth.
"Is that really all there is to it?" Lin Ping pondered, but was jolted awake by a violent jolt.
"Qingge can't catch up anymore, can we slow down?" Lin Ping chuckled.
"Weren't you being very agreeable? Why don't you keep going?" Zhang Yuelu replied irritably, showing no intention of slowing down.
At that moment, all the goodwill Lin Ping had just developed towards her vanished.
Behind the carriage, Meng Qingge lay on the ground, weeping bitterly, her heart feeling as if it were being ripped apart by a sharp knife.
This was the second time Lin Ping had left her, and he seemed even more anxious than the first time.
Meng Qingge kept blaming herself, even believing that she was destined to bring bad luck to her husbands.
The last time she established a relationship with Lin Ping, he was arrested. This time, just as she was about to get married to Lin Ping, he was arrested again. She's definitely destined to bring bad luck to her husbands.
"I really don't understand your so-called feelings. If you don't want to get hurt, why do you deliberately make her sad?" Zhang Yuelu said dismissively.
“Because the inner trauma is only temporary, I will spend the rest of my life making amends. But if she loses her life, I won’t even have the chance to make amends.” Lin Ping replied seriously, “What you consider insignificant is the most precious asset of an ordinary person.”
"In your heart, am I just a ruthless female demon who kills without blinking an eye?" Zhang Yuelu murmured to herself, feeling an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
