Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Chapter 149 A fight to the death

Qiao Shinian didn't know where the Colosseum that Eunuch Fu mentioned was, but just by hearing the name he knew it wasn't a good place.

Her impression of the Colosseum was generally of bloody fights between wild beasts, which attracted those who loved excitement to place bets.

Or if it is a fight between humans and animals, the scene will be more exciting, bloody, and more stimulating to people's vision.

Qiao Shinian didn’t know whether Wen Jiu would be standing in the Colosseum at this moment. She lowered her head and thought seriously.

It took them nearly half an hour to reach the Colosseum. It seemed that she and Mu Qingchen had arrived at the palace a little late. This was just a polo field, but it was surrounded by fences and had a lot of stands. Most of the princes and nobles were present at this time.

It seemed like some major festival was being celebrated.

As soon as she arrived, Emperor Zhou waved to her and motioned her to come over.

Qiao Shinian walked over with his head lowered and knelt down politely: "Your Highness."

"Get up, my good brother really dotes on you. I have asked you to come to the palace many times, but he always stopped me. Now is your master's last chance to survive, you should persuade him. Will he write the letter of surrender or not?"

Qiao Shinian followed Emperor Zhou's gaze and looked down. As expected, there stood Wen Jiu in shackles.

Qiao Shinian turned around and said, "I cannot make the decision for Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

There were many people standing around, not only princes and nobles, but also civil and military officials in the capital.

They looked at Qiao Shinian with hatred.

Qiao Shinian saw Chunxue and Yueyu still standing at the entrance. They were also wearing handcuffs and leg irons, with dried blood on their bodies.

The bloodstains told Qiao Shinian what had happened during the time she was away, and that everyone except her was not living a good life.

Seeing the emotions in everyone's eyes, Qiao Shinian looked up at Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary person, and I am also a friend of His Majesty the Thirteenth Prince. I am willing to accompany him to the Zhou Palace. The current situation between the two countries is something that neither he nor I want to see, and it is useless for you to force him.

He is a child abandoned by his father. If his words were useful, he would not be here to be humiliated by everyone."

Wen Jiu, who was standing below, looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky. Qiao Shinian had told him that the temperature of the sun was very high. In her world, humans did not yet have any machines that could explore the sun. Although he could not imagine what those machines looked like, he was full of yearning for that world.

"You won't lie to me, the sun's temperature is so high, why isn't it hot at all now?" Wen Jiu pulled his cracked lips and tried to smile. He laughed at these people's cowardice.

Emperor Zhou looked at Qiao Shinian and said disappointedly, "In that case, then use him as a joke for us! I will cut off his head and send it to the Emperor of Chuwen as a gift."

After saying that, he walked directly to the edge of the stands and said, "If you don't grab the last chance I gave you, then you can't blame me!"

As he spoke, dozens of people carried two cages toward the center of the field. As the black cloth on the cages was pulled down, a wolf and a tiger appeared in front of everyone.

The Emperor of Zhou shouted: "Chu Wen State has gone back on its word, so today I will no longer be merciful. I will use his blood to tell all the people of Chu Wen State that our Zhou State is not something that Chu Wen State can covet!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All the surrounding soldiers pointed their spears at the center of the field and shouted in unison.

In this way, all the officials and nobles stood aside and watched, with their spears pointed at the center of the field. Anyone or any beast that tried to come out would be stabbed to death without mercy.

Qiao Shinian watched the door being opened by two soldiers, and watched the soldiers running very fast, breathing heavily.

She looked up at the princes and princesses standing beside her. There was a slap mark on Princess Yu'an's face, which must have been the result of her pleading for mercy for Wen Jiu.

Seeing Qiao Shinian looking at her, Princess Yu'an looked at her with resentment: "Now that he's dead, you can forget about living well. Someone, throw her in too, let her die with Wen Jiu!"

Qiao Shinian stood up and walked towards the simple wooden door step by step. She took a deep breath, stuffed her purse into Yue Yu's hand, and ran quickly towards Wen Jiu.

"Wen Jiu!" Looking at the tiger and the wolf walking back and forth in the field, she pulled out the hairpin on her head and handed it to Wen Jiu!

Wen Jiu and Qiao Shinian stood back to back, constantly turning according to the actions of the tiger and the wolf.

"Why did you come?"

"He said he wanted to see you for the last time. You said we have such a mysterious friendship, how could I not see you for the last time!" Qiao Shinian tried to make his voice sound calmer. "I've seen how to deal with wolves. As long as I am stronger than them and don't show fear for them to smell, there will be no problem! But who wouldn't be afraid of wolves?"

"Sister, you should wait to go home. If I can't get through this time, it's my fate." Wen Jiu took the hairpin given by Qiao Shinian and said, "You take the hairpin. My hands and feet are shackled, so it won't be of much use."

"Forget it. I don't have much strength. Also, I think I might go back immediately after you die. Instead of going back quietly, I might as well stay next to your body and give these ancient people a little bit of fantasy shock. Will they think I'm a god or a monster in the future? Will I come back to take revenge on them? I want them to live in worry forever."

Qiao Shinian had already taken off his loose outer robe and twisted it into a rope.

"Haha, sister, your idea is not bad!" Wen Jiu laughed dryly twice, and then said: "But, what if you die here and can't go back?"

"How is that possible! Don't worry, my parents are watching over me outside. I didn't tell you that my parents are back, and my crying mom will definitely watch over me. If I show any sign of being a little bit wrong, I guess she will send me to the hospital. You have to trust the medical technology we have there."

Qiao Shinian was about to cry. Although she couldn't see the tiger behind her, the wolf in front of her was really scary. It kept baring its teeth and whispering threats at her.

"Get out of the way!" Wen Jiu rushed forward immediately after hearing that and strangled the tiger's neck with an iron chain with both hands.

Qiao Shinian dodged because of the sound, and then the wolf pounced on him.

"I..." She stopped mid-sentence.

The fishy smell from the wolf's mouth stimulated her, and everything in front of her seemed a little blurry. She unconsciously used her clothes to block the wolf's bite. The wolf bit her clothes, and seeing that Qiao Shinian was already sitting on the ground, it pounced on her again.

It was very painful. Qiao Shinian only felt pain in her thigh, as if a piece of flesh was torn off. The pain made it almost impossible for her to think.

She felt that she had tightly pinched the wolf that was biting her thigh, and then she seemed to smell blood in her mouth. Was her aorta bitten by the wolf?

"Awoo~" Qiao Shinian did not hear the wolf's painful howls at all. She just felt that she might die. There was a lot of blood in her mouth. Was she going to die in this cannibalistic era?

"Sigh~"

Many people present gasped. Wen Jiu was still fighting with the tiger, but the battle on Qiao Shinian's side could be said to be almost over.
