Chapter 140: Darkroom
The little maid opened a pair of teary eyes and fell on the person who spoke, and at the same time, Qin Mo, who was not far away, also happened to have her eyes on Su Qi.
The man in front of him, although his skin is yellowish, has a pair of delicate facial features, handsome black eyebrows, knife-like eyes, a small straight nose, and plump red lips, which looks a little like a woman. However, the little maid instantly denied this idea in her heart, because in her opinion, whether it was from the voice or the size, there was no doubt that the person in front of her was indeed a man.
And Qin Mo's face became more and more solemn, why did the man he felt more and more familiar the more he looked at it, and seemed to have seen it somewhere? Qin Mo's memory has always been excellent, it is difficult for people who have seen one person not to recognize, the familiarity brought to him by this person in front of him is really not small, Qin Mo tried his best to search the faces of people he had seen in the past in his mind, and finally locked on one of the faces that he had only seen a few faces.
Today's incident is just a trivial matter for Su Qi's master and servant, but what neither of them expected was that because of this trivial matter, it brought Su Qi huge trouble.
Su Qi and Hongcao didn't hear any useful news in the Zuiyue Tower, but they had a little understanding of the situation in the capital.
At the beginning of the founding of the Shu State, because of the excessive war caused by the vitality of the great injury, the monarch was benevolent, and set up a national policy of recuperation, and there was a peaceful and prosperous scene everywhere in the capital, but whether this peace was true or false, still needs to be studied.
Su Qi deliberately asked some more things about Qing'an Houfu, but he didn't get any useful news, thinking that it was because the forces of all parties in the capital were complicated, and even the common people had a very deep understanding of this situation, and they didn't dare to say more, lest they would make a mistake. Su Qi didn't dare to investigate too carefully and too explicitly, firstly, she was just a newcomer to the capital, and she had not yet sorted out the situation, so what to do rashly, if it aroused the suspicion of the other party, it would not be beautiful. Second, with her current ability, she can't actually play a big role in the vast territory of the capital.
When he returned to Baicaotang, he happened to see a carriage parked in front of Baicaotang, Su Qixian hid in the dark with Hongcalyx and took a look, and found that it was actually Su Qingyuan who came over.
This can scare Su Qi a lot, she has just taken the first step, but she can't be found out by Su Qingyuan at this time that she is pretending to be sick! Although Su Qi was anxious, he did not mess up, and rushed to the back door of Baicao Hall, hurriedly washed the things on his face, and then ran to the hospital bed to change Cuiluo. Simply, when she finished all this, Su Qingyuan had just finished talking to Dr. Jia and walked towards the room where she was.
It was not earlier or later, but it almost scared Su Qi out of half his life.
"Xiao Qi, why are you sweating so much on your forehead? But where do you feel uncomfortable?" As soon as Su Qingyuan saw Su Qi's pale face, he was so anxious to call the doctor over, but Su Qi hurriedly stopped him.
"Xiao Qi is fine, it's just ...... I'm a little worried about my father, can my father's handover with the people of the government go smoothly today?" Su Qi felt uncomfortable, but he was a little tired because he was in a hurry to clean up.
"Dad, everything is fine, you, it's important to take care of your body. Su Qingyuan smiled lightly, this was the expression he always had on his face, and it was also the expression that he showed the most in front of Su Qi.
In front of his daughter, it seems that he has never had any worries.
Su Qingyuan came over today to take a look at Su Qi's condition, although Su Qi said that he was okay and had been assured by the doctor, he still couldn't rest assured in his heart, and he had to come and see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.
……
It's called a darkroom, and there's nothing surprising about it from the outside, but only those who have been inside will know how horrible it really is.
At this moment, Su Fangyuan was tied to the center of such a room. It was clearly daytime, but there was only darkness left in her vision, not only because the room was dark and boundless, but also because her eyes had been covered with a thick black cloth, unable to pass through any light, not only her eyes, her hands and feet, and even her neck were tied with strong hemp rope, unable to move, she could only quietly cope with the darkness in front of her, the darkness that seemed to have no end.
Su Fangyuan can't remember how many days she has been locked up here, since she rushed back to the capital from Yizhou, she was ordered by her master to be locked up in this place, because she did not follow the orders of her superiors and acted privately. When she thought of this, Su Fangyuan felt a little like laughing, she had done a lot of things for her master over the years, none of which was easy to do, safe and worry-free, in order to complete the task, she almost died in several places, and the places where the colors were hung on her body were even more countless, she thought that the master was at least taking her as a subordinate, but after thinking about it for a long time, she seemed to have figured it out.
That high-ranking master has never regarded her as a subordinate, or even as a person. After living in this place for five years, she doubted more than once whether she was a person or a tool for killing, if it weren't for the sake of survival, in order to fulfill that wish, I am afraid she would have been unable to support it a long time ago.
"Fang Kite. In the darkness, a cold and low male voice came, breaking the silence brought by the darkness.
At this moment, this voice sounded like a heavenly sound in Su Fangyuan's ears, "Qin Mo, you are here." She hadn't taken a sip of water or eaten a single bite of food since she had been locked up in the darkroom, and her voice was weak.
Su Fangyuan felt that the black cloth covering her eyes was gently lifted, followed by the ropes that bound her body. Seeing something other than darkness again, Su Fangyuan was so excited that she couldn't speak, although her eyes were a little stinging because she was not used to the light that suddenly entered her eyes, Su Fangyuan still opened her eyes to the maximum.
For someone like her, who lives on the tip of a knife, even seeing the light has become a luxury, so she has no intention of closing her eyes, even though her eyes are already in tears.
"It's okay, the master has agreed to let you out. My mission has also been completed, and I can rest with you for a few days. Qin Mo's voice had never been compatible with gentleness, but Su Fangyuan had never felt that his voice was so beautiful for a moment. In the past few days, she has been locked up in the dark room alone, her heart is empty and frightened, only she can talk to herself, Qin Mo's voice is much more important to her than water and food.
Su Fangyuan replied vaguely, and then fainted in Qin Mo's arms, these three days have been a double torture for her, both physically and mentally, and it is not easy to force herself to say a few words with Qin Mo.
Qin Mo looked at the woman in his arms who was still frowning even if he fainted, and suddenly let out a long sigh. Looking at her like this, in order to prevent her from doing anything impulsive again, that person has already arrived in the capital, so it's better not to tell her for the time being.
