Chapter 4 Into the Tiger's Den Again
Through the afterglow of the sunset leaking in through the window, Ling Caiwei finally saw that the masked man who rescued her last night was sitting there drinking tea not far from the bed, because the bed curtain blocked her vision, and the sky was getting dark, she didn't find him when she woke up.
"Why did you save me?" may have hurt her by the aftershocks when the iron ball burst open, and her voice was hoarse and dull as before, and her chest was as painful as if it had crushed a boulder.
The princess said this prematurely. How do you know that I don't mean to harm you?" Nan Ronglie took a sip of tea and nodded in praise: "Good tea, good tea." Lingyun White Tea really lives up to its reputation. Would you like to try it?" he picked up another teacup and walked over to her.
Ling Caiwei hesitated for a moment, the first half of his sentence seemed to have something to say, and people had to be wary. She looked at the tea in his hand, feeling her throat even drier and thirsty.
He seemed to see through her thoughts, and laughed at her: "This tea is produced from a thousand-year-old tea tree, and only four taels of tea leaves are obtained every year. The third princess is afraid that I will be drugged, so I won't drink it. ”
She knew that he was a radical general, but she snatched the cup from his hand and drank it all. If he wanted to hurt her, he would have done it when she was unconscious, and he would have to wait until this time.
"One more drink. ”
Nan Ronglie took the cup, admiring the princess's courage, but there was a look of abuse in her eyes.
Ling Caiwei ignored him and drank three cups of tea in succession, the feeling of thirst was relieved, but the pain in her chest hit again. Nan Ronglie threw a small blue porcelain vase again: "Nine Zhuan Dan, it's up to you whether you eat it or not." ”
"The Nine Zhuan Pill is a healing elixir, but it is not something that ordinary people just put on their bodies. ”
"The implication is fake, am I lying to you?" Nan Ronglie was so angry that he wanted to snatch it from Ling Caiwei's hand, Ling Caiwei pursed her lips and held it in her hand. Nan Ronglie was bluffing, but when he saw that she accepted it, he no longer grabbed it, but pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, as if he had a long speech.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know. ”
"You're not curious?"
"Not curious. ”
"All women in the world are curious, why are you different? Do you know my identity?"
"Yishu has been taught the truth of 'curiosity kills cats' since she was a child. Even if you are wearing a mask, there must be something unspeakable, even if your curiosity is greater than the sky, you don't want to say it, I can't force it, just don't ask. ”
It was getting late, there was no palm lamp in the room, the light was a little dim, and Nan Ronglie's silver mask was exquisitely made, just revealing the thin lips that looked like painted Zhu. Ling Caiwei said that she was not curious, but in her heart she kept thinking about a way to get out. Although the people in front of her rescued her from the group of men in black and knew her identity, they did not send her to Yindu, but brought her here now. I don't think it's the prince's person. She is powerless, and the only way to protect herself is to fight with him.
"What do you mean?" As early as when the strategists were planning to make peace with Weiguo to increase the prince's bargaining chips, Nan Ronglie sent someone to inquire about the details of the princess, and the spies came back to report that the three princesses of Weiguo were incomparably good-looking, but their temperament was unbearable. Nan Ronglie didn't care about this, he had already installed the sea in his heart, and there was no place for anyone else. He went to investigate, just to see if the body of the woman who would be with him in the world in the future was tough, and if he couldn't withstand the toss of the queen's party, his plan would be stranded in vain. Last night, he planned to save the third princess and go back to Yindu directly. Four years ago, he had crossed paths with her, and he didn't know that the woman who had amazed him was the third princess of Weiguo. Come to think of it, this is the fate that God is destined for. So, he didn't want her to be just a bargaining chip for him to get on top.
He pondered his thoughts, but Ling Caiwei interrupted him: "I guess you must be ugly and dare not show others." Or maybe there is something wrong with a low nose and no eyebrows, otherwise you will wear a mask when you drink tea. ”
"Everybody has a mask. Some can be used to cover up ugliness, some can be used as a tool for self-protection, and some are used to harm others. My mask is above board, and everyone can see it. And some people's masks are made of human skin, so it's hard to tell the real from the fake!"
Ling Caiwei was suddenly shocked in her heart, afraid that he would see the clues, so she hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves and pretended to cough to cover up the panic in her heart.
"The princess doesn't have to be weak-hearted, it's not about you. He took out a sign on his waist and played with it in his hand, admiring her panic as if watching a play.
Ling Caiwei settled down and wanted to divert the topic, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the Iron Banner Order in his hand, her heart suddenly brightened, and she said tentatively: "Childe must be a person from the Iron Blood Pavilion, right?"
"Iron Blood Pavilion, you are a patriotic princess who actually knows about the Iron Blood Pavilion?" Nan Ronglie put away the token and stood up and studied around her for a long time. The clear-eyed woman in front of him made people unable to penetrate the depth of her eyes, which infinitely aroused his curiosity.
"The Iron Blood Pavilion is a secret organization in the southern kingdom that specializes in collecting intelligence from various countries. The identity of the pavilion master is unknown, but the members are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and they will wear masks when performing tasks. "In the past, when the Ling family was still in its heyday, she had heard the legend of the Iron Blood Pavilion when she pestered her father to listen to anecdotes. At that time, the Iron Blood Pavilion had just surfaced, and it had already been captured by the Great Sima Lingfeng of the Southern Kingdom. Because the people in their cabinet acted on the Iron Banner Order, she casually blindfolded when she saw the token in his hand just now. It turned out to be right.
Nan Ronglie came to her, his tone became solemn, and his eyes were bottomless. "You're only half right. The Iron Blood Pavilion not only gathers intelligence, but also kills. Especially kill beautiful women like you. ”
Ling Caiwei sat for a long time, her body was a little unbearable, he suddenly approached, she hurriedly dodged, and in a hurry, the dull pain in her chest became intense. She pressed harder, but she couldn't suppress it.
"If you don't take medicine, you have to die of pain. ”
Ling Caiwei hesitated for a moment, but still poured a pill and put it in her mouth. The entrance is actually fragrant and sweet. This is the Nine Zhuan Dan? How does it taste like Weiguo's rice candy? Then he poured out another one.
"What are you doing? Think it's jelly beans. If you eat too much, you will die. Nam Ronglie snatched the medicine and stuffed it into the bottle. "It's a terrible thing to give you something so precious to eat. "I tuck it into my arms.
Strange to say, in just a few moments, Ling Caiwei felt that the labor pain in her chest disappeared, and even her breathing was much smoother. Yishu thanked Gongzi for saving his life. She wanted to get up and thank you, but Nan Ronglie waved her hand to block her. "You're welcome, the Iron Blood Pavilion never deals at a loss. If you want to thank me, I will take practical action. ”
"The most difficult thing in the world to repay is human favors. Listening to the words of the son, Yishu's heart was much more down-to-earth. Childe make a price. The gold, silver and jewelry I brought from Weiguo can be chosen by Childe, but if Guige wants any information, then Shu Yishu is lonely and unheard, I am afraid that Childe will be disappointed. ”
"What a pair of sharp teeth. Our Iron Blood Pavilion branch covers all countries, so we don't need the princess to bother with providing any information. However, there are few pavilion masters' wives in the pavilion, I don't know what the princess thinks?"
Nan Ronglie was playful, and for some reason, he just wanted to tease her, and wanted to see her scared and helpless.
