Chapter 208: Fear

"Poof", the sound of numbness on the scalp, is made when the blade enters the flesh. In a terrible scream www.biquge.info the muscles of Ji Huang's cheeks trembled fiercely. He turned the hilt of the sword in his hand mercilessly, and then jerked hard. Warm and sweet blood instantly sprayed all over his face.

Hua Lianyue turned back in shock, only to see Kula clutching her bloodstained chest and falling down with a frightened face.

She suddenly remembered that Kura had been caught in the kitchen by her Cole last night. After Kura found out that something was wrong, he hid in the backyard and didn't dare to come out. Until he sees himself, he will rashly show up and try to beg for mercy. Unexpectedly, Ji Huang would not give her a chance at all, and directly pierced her with a sword.

Ji Huang wiped a handful of blood from his face casually, and said extremely indifferently: "Sneaky, sneaky, must have bad intentions." ”

Hua Liyue had already crouched down and reached out to probe her snort. Anyway, Kula has always been with her in the barracks, and Hua Liyue doesn't want her to die so aggrieved. It's a pity that Hua Lianyue is destined to be disappointed, Ji Huang is so ruthless, how can he leave a glimmer of life for Kula.

Ji Huang saw that her face was a little ugly, so he snorted and reprimanded in a cold voice: "You are the woman of the virtuous king, you must help him achieve a great cause, how can you be so kind to a woman." Today, don't say that it is the death of a foreign maid with bad intentions, as long as it is for the great cause of the virtuous king, even if it is your old friend who dies, you should not change your face. ”

Hua Lianyue was stagnant, this person was really bloodthirsty and ruthless, and he really didn't talk more than half a sentence.

"It's a pity that I'm not interested in your so-called great cause of the virtuous king. With a cold face, she stood up, and was about to walk away. Ji Huang unexpectedly raised his hand to stop in front of her.

Hua Lianyue looked at him with a bloodstained face, looking extremely hideous, and said vigilantly: "What else does Ji Shizi have to say?"

"Help me fetch water, I want to clean my face!" Ji Huang commanded with great skill. He didn't care whether Hua Lianyue wanted it or not, turned around and walked towards the well. Hua Lianyue stomped her feet angrily, but finally reluctantly followed.

She took the barrel that was placed next to the well and carried the rope to lower the barrel along the wall of the well into the depths of the well. A soft "bang" was heard from the well. She lifted the rope from her hand and flung it slightly back and forth in the opposite direction to the wall of the well, causing the bucket to flip over and sink into the water. When the barrel was filled with water, she pulled the rope and lifted the barrel full of water to the surface of the well with great skill.

"Here you go!" said Retsuki, pausing the bucket in front of him. Her movements were extremely rude, and a large splash of water wet Ji Huang's shoes and socks.

Of course, Ji Huang's shoes and socks were already wet, so he sat upright and didn't move. Just a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be quite proficient." ”

This person, pretentious, wants to see me make a fool of himself?

Hua Lianyue rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I'm not the eldest lady who was pampered in the boudoir." Not to mention fetching water, when I followed the Qi family dart team, I even did the work of a groom, but I am not as noble as you. ”

Hua Lianyue's provocation did not make Ji Huang angry, but he laughed out loud. When he had laughed enough, he slowly rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his hands deep into the cold and clear well water.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Hua Lianyue turned around again and wanted to leave, but Ji Huang said ghostly: "Miss Hua, please stay!"

At this moment, the scorching sun was scorching, and a thin sweat had oozed from Hua Lianyue's forehead unconsciously. She looked back at him with some impatience, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Ji Shizi to wait, I will go and summon your guards and listen to your orders." ”

Ji Huang had already scooped up a few handfuls of water to wash away the remaining blood stains on his face. Hearing Hua Lianyue's obvious perfunctory, he shook his head helplessly, and there was actually a smile hidden in his eyebrows. As he moved, pink droplets of water continued to slide down his dark sideburns.

"I don't mean to call Miss Hua, but I heard Miss Hua say so much before, don't you want to listen to me?"

Ji Huang is not a beautiful man in the traditional sense, his eyebrows and eyes are too sharp like a knife. When his lips were pursed, they were like a thin line, revealing a sense of coolness.

Just like this, I greeted the sun and smiled. It made him full of yin owl calculations, and it had a little more taste of the turbid world.

Hua Lianyue raised her eyebrows and said clearly: "Please speak!" After several lives and deaths, she is now thick-skinned, no matter what he wants to say ugly, he will not cause her the slightest harm.

Ji Huang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and slowly wiped the water droplets off his cheeks. Probably by this gesture, he was secretly considering what he wanted to say.

Just when Hua Liyue was a little impatient, he finally spoke: "Actually, you and Xiao Rong are not like each other at all. ”

Hua Lianyue was stunned, she didn't expect that at this time, what he said was actually Xiaorong.

It is undeniable that although she does not fully believe Ji Huang's words, it does not prevent Xiao Rong from becoming a thorn in her heart. Occasionally, there is always a slight pain.

Hua Lianyue looked at him quietly, waiting for his next step.

Ji Huang still lowered his eyes, and wiped the remaining blood clots between his fingers with a focused expression. His fingers are beautifully shaped, but there are thin calluses between his fingers, which are thought to have been sharpened by holding a pen and dancing a sword for many years.

Finally, after he wiped his fingers spotlessly, he turned his head to look at Hua Lianyue, stared at her with a complicated expression for a while, and sighed: "Xiaorong seems to be simple and lively, but in fact your heart is deep and unpredictable, and you seem to be cunning and clever, but in fact you are simple and desireless."

I thought that the portrait I copied with my own hands could make you feel guilty and completely turn your face with him. I didn't expect you to be so calm......" His tone actually implied disappointment.

Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment, but then understood in a blink of an eye. The so-called portrait of Xiaorong that he showed himself in the General's Mansion that day was actually forged by Ji Huang. Thinking about it, he and Liu Hui have been studying together since they were children, and it is not strange that they can copy each other's handwriting.

"I didn't expect you to hate me so much. Hua Lianyue smiled self-deprecatingly.

Ji Huang smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I hate it, it's just that I'm just afraid." ”

"Scared?" Hua Lianyue looked at him suspiciously, really unable to understand the meaning of his words.

Ji Huang's deep eyes looked at her fixedly: "Yes, I'm afraid that he will forget his oath for you, and he will forget that his life does not belong to him, because there are countless followers behind him who are like me." ”

Ji Huang clenched his hands into fists slightly, and his emotions became a little excited: "He is the only person who follows me Ji Huang in this life, but he has lost his temper several times for the sake of a mere woman."

I remember that when Baihua Valley released the news of your death, he was disillusioned and left everyone missing for a whole year. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Shu was seriously ill and I released the false news that you were still alive, he still doesn't know how long he would continue to be depressed........."

Hua Lianyue looked at the young man in front of her who was getting more and more excited in a daze, and unconsciously, she was already listening attentively.

And when Ji Huang said this, there was silence again. After a while, he whispered: "All this has passed, I didn't expect you to really be alive, and I didn't expect that as soon as you met, he would be desperate to block the knife for you." He didn't think about how we followers would deal with our followers when he died. So I had only one idea at the time...... You are destined to be his nemesis, and you must not stay by his side and continue to disturb his mind. ”

This, this....... If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, probably this is how it came! Hua Lianyue stared at him with wide eyes and couldn't help but smile.

"But I've changed my mind now!" Ji Huang suddenly grinned at her clear black eyes. He reverted to his slow tone: "Maybe having you by his side isn't a bad thing!"

"Thank you so much!" Hua Lianyue twitched the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "However, you couldn't control the matter between me and him before, and you still can't control it in the future!"

She stood up and took a few steps. After thinking about it, he turned back and said, "Finally, I don't really like you very much." However, Liu Hui has a brother like you, which is the greatest success in his life. After saying that, she waved her hand and walked away without looking back.

However, just after bypassing the Moon Gate, Liu Hui's handsome and noble face suddenly appeared in front of Hua Lianyue. She was already in a hurry, and she almost caught it and crashed directly into his arms.

He put his arm around her shoulders and stared at her quietly. Under the bright sun, his deep eyes were full of brilliance, as if he had a thousand words.

After looking at her fixedly for a long time, the corners of his lips finally slowly hooked. He said in an unusually proud tone: "I have always believed that the stubborn and suspicious Ji Huang will be subdued by you one day, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly...... The woman I identify with is definitely not a mediocre person!"

Such praise came too abruptly, and Hua Lianyue was still a little confused. The next moment, she was embraced into his wide and warm arms, and his soft whisper came from her ears: "Yue'er, I can't wait to marry you......"

.......

The imperial palace in the capital is bustling and lively. Because today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, countless eunuchs and palace maids are shuttling back and forth in various palaces, and they will decorate the already luxurious palaces more and more colorful, extravagant and rich.

The queen, the concubines of each palace, whether they are favored or unfavored, will take this rare opportunity to behave well. Even the princes who have opened their mansions and live separately, as well as the princes who are high and powerful, have also brought their families into the palace to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday.

The palace is full of lively, singing and dancing from morning to night. Concubine Shu sat under a flower stand in the imperial garden with a civet cat in her arms, although she was also dressed in gorgeous clothes, her face was very ugly. The bottom of his eyes is still bloodshot, and he is usually well-maintained, and his beautiful and graceful face is full of worry. She looked at the woman sitting beside her and asked softly, "Jiao'er, isn't there any news of King Xian?"

Zhang Jiao has been personally assigned by the emperor to marry Liu Hui, so the first thing she did when she entered the palace was to ask Concubine Shu for peace. If her shoulders are cut into a waist, if she is about a prime, her muscles are like condensation, and her breath is like a quiet orchid. Dressed in a blue emerald cigarette shirt, with a smoke cage plum blossom skirt tied around her waist. Even in the palace, which is not short of beauties, it is still particularly eye-catching.

Zhang Jiao is obviously a beautiful woman who is as soft as silk, but she behaves dignifiedly, elegant and generous, which makes Concubine Shu like it at first sight. will be one by one, shouting very intimately.

Zhang Jiao bit her lower lip lightly, and her beautiful face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Concubine Shu frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Jiao'er, do you have something to hide from me?"

Zhang Jiao pursed her lips tightly, and a trace of mist gradually floated in her beautiful eyes.

Her demeanor made Concubine Shu more and more nervous. She grabbed Zhang Jiao's arm and asked in a stacked voice: "Jiao'er, you are so spitting, but my Hui'er is in danger?"

Zhang Jiao hurriedly shook her head again and again, she said in a low voice: "King Xian, he is okay......" She wrung the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, and only after half a ring, did she whisper: "I just heard my uncle mention that King Xian not only easily gave up the planned multi-day raid for a woman surnamed Hua, but also risked his life to go deep into the rear of the enemy army." ”

"The woman surnamed Hua?" Concubine Shu was stunned and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the harmful Hui'er lost her soul and disappeared for a whole year?"

"That's her. Zhang Jiao nodded aggrievedly.

Concubine Shu frowned and said puzzledly: "I remember that Ji Huang's kid said that the female catcher surnamed Hua is about to die." How could a dead man reappear in front of Hui'er without dissipation, or in the North Underworld, thousands of miles away...... Isn't there some conspiracy in this?"

Zhang Jiao bit her lower lip lightly and said hatefully: "Who knows! In the past, the news of his death may have been a trick to get away with it. King Xian has always valued affection, and he once had a love affair with her, so he was naturally easily bewitched. ”

"Jianghu woman?" Concubine Shu read these four words in her mouth, but her eyes gradually turned cold. She stood up suddenly, and said lightly: "The Queen Mother is only afraid that it will start, it is the first time for you to participate in such a family banquet, if you are late, I am afraid that it will make the Queen Mother and her old man unhappy." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Jiao hurriedly stood up and said affectionately: "Niangniang, let's go to the banquet together!"

Concubine Shu showed a sneering smile, she lowered her eyes, held the hair on the civet cat again and again, and said lightly: "No need! She moved lightly, and actually left Zhang Jiao, holding the civet cat in the opposite direction.

No matter how smart Ren Zhangjiao is, she is still confused by Concubine Shu's abrupt words and deeds. Fortunately, although Concubine Shu left, she still left an elderly palace maid with some experience for her future prospective daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Zhang Jiao's face gradually showed a look of shame, the palace maid hurriedly bent her knees and blessed her, and said in a low voice: "Miss Zhang doesn't blame my mother, she didn't mean to leave you alone." It's just that every year on the Queen Mother's birthday, our mother has to go to the Buddha Hall and copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times to pray for the Queen Mother. So she can't accompany Miss Zhang to the banquet, and I hope Miss Zhang won't be surprised. ”

"Don't dare!" Zhang Jiao helped her and said humbly: "Then Sister Lao will lead the way for me." ”

Before leaving, she couldn't help but glance back at Concubine Shu's lonely back. But I was secretly thinking in my heart: I had heard that this lady concubine was not treated by the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect it to be true. What is copying scriptures and praying for blessings, obviously just to look good on the face, just to go down the stairs. No wonder even the pets that are reluctant to let go in their hands are lowly and ordinary civet cats.

Thinking of this, a trace of contempt appeared in Zhang Jiao's eyes.
