Chapter 1701: Under the Fire
In the darkness, I felt him reach over and 'pull' the hairpin from my bun, and threw it to the ground with a click, and his long hair immediately fell like flowing water. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: Π¨Π©Π©.(7)(9)XS.ΡΠΠ.
His snort gently scratched my face with a few strands of hair, and a fine itch came.
The next moment, he 'kissed' my 'lips'......
This night, he seemed to be extraordinarily 'excited', more 'excited' than any before, and more and more struggling, several times I almost fell into a collapse, but he forcefully clasped both hands above his head, not allowing me to retreat or dodge. And all night, he didn't say a word.
Heavy gasps rang in his ears with the smell of a beast.
I eventually fainted in the darkness and fell into another deep darkness.
I don't know how long it took for me to feel that my limbs and bodies that had been crushed seemed to be reloaded, but the pain that came me made me frown even when I was still in a coma.
His voice immediately rang in my ears.
"Lightness?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Light."
I frowned again, subconsciously wanting to hide deeper into the darkness, but his warm hand had already caressed my face, gently rubbing: "Are you better?" β
The realism brought by the skin ironing finally made me completely out of the darkness, my brows moved slightly, and slowly opened my eyes, and I saw a room of light, he was sitting on the edge of the 'bed', holding a candlestick in his hand, bending down to look at me, as soon as I opened my eyes, he immediately smiled and said, "You are awake." β
ββ¦β¦β
I didn't have the strength to speak, I didn't want to speak, and the hot current in my eyes made me want to lower my eyelids.
I avoided his gaze, but I couldn't avoid his gaze, and he looked at me gently, his eyes still on his neck, collarbone, and even the pink marks he left on his ears for a moment, before he smiled a little satisfied, "Let's get up early today." Don't you want to get out and about and get some air? It's OK today. β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
I looked up at him.
Can you take me out today?
Since that day I asked him to go out and was rejected by him with the excuse of "it will be fine in a few days", I have been counting with my fingers, and for more than a month, the ship has not docked, which proves that Yangzhou has not been captured by him, because of this danger, he does not allow me to leave this cabin.
But today, he actually promised me to go out.
Could it be that Yangzhou has been-
I was still caught in the thoughts of 'chaos' and 'chaos', when I felt a black shadow flash in front of me, he reached out and wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me, I was so frightened that I looked up at him, and I saw a faint smile in those close eyes: "Do you also want to see that city?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Get up."

I was surrounded by several 'waiters' and 'women' who served 'serving', dressed, washed, and groomed, and then sat down at the table, and breakfast was already on the table, and he personally picked up the porridge bowl and scooped a spoonful of porridge to my mouth, as he had done every time in the past.
The 'waiter', 'woman' standing at the entrance of the 'door' and several shaking shadows outside the 'door' were all frozen at this time.
The tension almost spread to me, making my chest even more stuffy, almost wanting to vomit.
But I gritted my teeth and obediently ate it.
The smile in the corner of his eye deepened.
These days, I am so obedient and obedient, let me eat when I eat, let me drink soup when I drink soup, but although this obedience made him a lot more pleasant, it did not make him relax his vigilance against me, from the moment he boarded this ship, none of those eyes staring at me have withdrawn.
After eating this breakfast, he finally led me out of the cabin.
As soon as I left the room, I took a long breath.
Outside is a long, somewhat narrow corridor, probably because it is so deep, there is hardly any natural light here, it is lit by lanterns on both sides, and when one walks inside, countless black shadows are reflected on the floor and the walls on both sides, like ghosts.
It gives people the feeling of not being able to get out, a 'labyrinth'.
I followed behind him, one hand still tightly grasped by him, and I didn't know how long I walked, and finally saw a little light in front of me.
Unlike the dim light of the lantern, it's real daylight!
My heart was beating a little faster.
His speed seemed to slow down a little, but no matter how he slowed down, he finally took me step by step, and when I stepped out of the cabin 'door', the sun shone on my body all of a sudden, and I felt that the invisible restraints on the whole body were dissipated by the sun, and the ashes were extinguished, and it was only at this time that I finally felt the long-lost, real heartbeat and breathing in my body.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Hearing me inhale, he stopped and turned to look at me.
Those eyes looked exceptionally bright in the sun, like a pool of blue 'color' clear water, especially when he smiled, the corners of his eyes narrowed, and the pool of clear water 'waved' layers of ripples, as if there was a lot to say.
But, needless to say.
For I had seen on the other side of the deck that the child had been led out.
He was still wearing the same short clothes as before, and his hands were helplessly 'crossed' in front of him, and he was pushed twice with some uneasiness, and when he turned his head to see me, his eyes suddenly widened.
Those eyes were full of innocence and blankness.
Behind him, there were two 'squires' with swords hanging from their waists and their hands on the hilt of their swords.
My heart sank.
Pei Yuanxiu's hand that held my hand used a little strength, as if to pull my 'wavering' mind back, I looked up at him, and heard him say gently: "This child, have you seen it?" β
"......" I looked at him silently, without even nodding.
He didn't need my answer, he smiled and said to himself: "I saw him when I was checking the prisoners that day, and he looked a little familiar." He was still young, and he was sent to the battlefield in poor terms, but I thought he was obedient and hardworking, so I left him to work on this ship. When you come out today, he will follow you and serve. β
ββ¦β¦β
"If you serve well, of course, there will be a reward, but if you don't serve well, you will naturally be punished."
ββ¦β¦β
"If you have any accidentsβ"
He said, glancing over the corner of his eye.
The child was dazed, but seemed to have some feelings, shrunk slightly, his shoulders twitched, and he looked at me with wide eyes.
I understood right away.
Pei Yuanxiu himself also knew that it was impossible for him to really lock me up in that small cabin for the rest of his life in order to prevent me from escaping, after all, I was going to come out to see people and see the light, but he couldn't believe me, probably in his eyes, even if I was given a grain of rice, I could set off a huge 'wave' in the Yangtze River.
Therefore, this child was prepared.
Like those before me, they exist as tools to threaten me, and as long as I don't obey, as long as I show resistance, one of them will die for my willfulness. However, he will also be worried, worried that if I make a desperate bet, that I may gradually become numb, that if I am ruthless, I will really run away regardless of the lives of others, then it will be useless for him to kill as many people.
So, he prepared a relatively "special" child.
Let him appear next to me and let me notice him inadvertently.
The child had dark skin, a broad forehead, an emaciated figure, and a diligent appearance...... Everything was taken into his eyes first.
Even he could see who this kid looked like.
Even he knows that this is the best "handle" for me.
Feeling my hand trembling slightly in his palm, he used a little strength to tighten my hand a little tighter, and then whispered: "The battlefield is merciless, but he is lucky, originally the ship was going to be sunk by us at that time, but they gave up resistance, so we captured them all." β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's rare that he can survive at such a young age."
ββ¦β¦β
"Now, of course, he wants to live well, if he didn't die during the war, wouldn't it be a pity if he died at this time?"
"Don't say it!"
I opened my mouth trembling, and my shoulders twitched.
He looked down at me, and saw my face that was getting paler and more bloodless in the sun, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on his face.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally took a deep breath: "I see what you mean. β
He laughed and said softly, "That's good." β
After saying that, he glanced at the people behind him, and they immediately escorted the child to the side deck, although he was waiting there, the two 'squires' did not let down their guard, and were obviously still guarding against me.
And Pei Yuanxiu was already holding my hand: "Don't you want to come out for a walk?" Come, I'll walk with you. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Look at the scenery, it's fine."
ββ¦β¦β
It was only then that I finally raised my head and looked ahead.
And the scene in front of me immediately surprised me.
On the surface of the river, there are broken wooden planks floating everywhere, torn canvases, and some of them rise and fall with the river.
And through a layer of diffuse mist, I looked at the north bank of the Yangtze River, where the shore was full of devastation, and from a distance, I could see the water military camp, which seemed to have been affected by some impact, and there was a lot of damage, and the dragon 'gate' was tightly closed, and I couldn't see what was going on inside.
Although for such a long time before, I already knew that he had fought with Yangzhou dozens of times, and the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River and on the river must not be good, but the situation in front of me is not bad.
I subconsciously took a step forward, but before I could walk out, my hand was pulled hard and pulled back to him.
