Chapter 36 One Less Man
With a tingling sensation in his body, Shi Qingyi woke up, feeling the situation of the real qi thief in his body going to the empty building, Shi Qingyi smiled bitterly, it seems that he has to recuperate for a period of time, how can his body be so fragile!
When he opened his eyes, Shi Qingyi found that he was lying on a soft bed, and this place was obviously not where he lived, smelling the faint smell of fat powder in the room, as well as the feminine decoration around him, it was obviously a young lady's boudoir...... Shi Qingyi was very puzzled, how could he be sent into Li Xiuning's boudoir, at this moment, with the door creaking, Li Xiuning walked in, and when he saw Shi Qingyi waking up, he immediately showed a happy smile: "Ah, little sister, you woke up." That's great! Saying that, he walked to the bed and held Shi Qingyi's little hand, "Speaking of which, my sister's martial arts are so good, and she looks so beautiful, it's really enviable!" Ignoring Li Xiuning's chatter in his ear, Shi Qingyi just looked at the hand that was grabbed by Li Xiuning a little stunned, that hand was crystal clear and as bright as jade. What's going on?
In order to make his disguise technique not show flaws, not only on the face, but also in the exposed places of the skin, such as his hands, Shi Qingyi will be coated with a carefully prepared potion, once these potions are contaminated with the skin, they will be almost permanently stained on the skin, which is not only extremely difficult to clean, but even causes permanent damage to the appearance, if it were not for Shi Qingyi's innate realm, this potion is ineffective for her, and she will never use it herself, therefore, Shi Qingyi's hands should have given people a very rough and dry feeling, In fact, since Shi Qingyi had never removed these potions from her body, even she herself didn't know what her hands should look like now. Now seeing his perfect hands, Shi Qingyi has a very bad premonition in his heart, is it ......
There are mirrors in the lady's boudoir, Shi Qingyi raised her eyes, right in front of her eyes, on Li Xiuning's dresser, a huge bronze mirror was quietly placed there, but unfortunately, it was not directly facing the head of the bed, so that Shi Qingyi couldn't see her face (if Li Xiuning used the mirror to face her bedside, she was definitely sick!). Letting go of his voice slightly, Shi Qingyi made his voice crisp, obviously different from the usual slightly hoarse voice. "Do you have a mirror here, I'm ......" The appearance of weakness was just right, which immediately made Li Xiuning lose his soul, "Yes, of course there is, my sister is waiting, my sister will bring it to you!" Li Xiuning herself couldn't figure out what she was talking about, she was holding the big bronze mirror on the table, and came over happily, her sister's fairy-like appearance must be very cherished.
Looking at Li Xiuning's unusual and chaotic appearance, revealing his confused side, Shi Qingyi also realized that Li Xiuning was actually very beautiful and cute, from the bronze mirror held high by Li Xiuning, as Shi Qingyi expected, in the bronze mirror, it was indeed a face that poured all beings, Shi Qingyi saw it, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.
"Mother!" ……
It's very similar but not, to be exact, it's a girl's face of Bi Xiuxin, under the independent appearance, there is a faint greenness, plus a pair of weak eyes, which makes the girl's face more delicate and lovely. It turns out that I am so weak now. Shi Qingyi removed her gaze from the mirror, faced the side of the wall, closed her eyes, Li Xiuning took away the mirror with interest, and walked out quietly, not wanting to disturb Shi Qingyi's rest, but she would not have thought that Shi Qingyi's eyes immediately opened again, and the pair of eyes at this time, bright and firm, were like two people with a weak appearance. Holding back the piercing pain all over his body, Shi Qingyi flew out of bed and quietly approached the door, there was no movement outside the door, Shi Qingyi pushed the door open, wanting to leave Li Xiuning's courtyard as quickly as possible.
"Ah, isn't this the fairy sister in the lady's room, when did you wake up, and how did you get out?" Shi Qingyi was taken aback, her own feelings, has it degenerated to such a point, she didn't find it just outside the door, there was actually a maid left, seeing Shi Qingyi walk out of the room, she immediately shouted in surprise, Shi Qingyi was anxious, but her face was silent, she had already recognized the maid in front of her, it was one of Li Xiuning's personal maids, unexpectedly, it was actually used by Li Xiuning to do the work of guarding the door. "I feel bored, so I come out for a walk." Shi Qingyi lowered his eyebrows and said casually. The soft voice made the maid's eyes light up: "Miss is not only beautiful, but even her voice is like fairy music, no wonder the eldest son and the second son have never forgotten it, hey, just now, they still want to visit the young lady, but unfortunately they were all blocked back by the eldest lady...... "Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin?!" Shi Qingyi's stomach twitched, and his face was seen by the two of them, Shi Qingyi was not surprised, but these two married husbands, actually, actually! Shi Qingyi finally understood where the source of the various gossips that the Li Tang Dynasty was talked about began.
It turned out that Tang Xuanzong married his daughter-in-law Yang Guifei, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi fell in love with his little mother Wu Zetian, and the roots were all in these two brothers, really, she was bold, she remembered that when she was right with the magic handsome, she was bloody and angry, and ordinary people saw it, not to mention that they had nightmares every day, leaving a deep shadow in their hearts, and these two brothers, sure enough, are the people of the Li family abnormal? Well, according to this calculation, in fact, their father must be a hungry ghost, but unfortunately, this father is more sad, and there is a fierce old lady staring, so he has to hold back his temperament, obediently guarding his wife and the only two partial rooms at home, which is really pitiful! Thinking of this, Shi Qingyi actually felt a little pity for his cheap father-in-law.
"Although the eldest prince and the second prince already have a wife, but even so, they will not suffer if they follow, the eldest prince is a good person, and he treats people the most gently, and although the second prince has a bad temper, he is a young hero, the emperor was in danger in Yanmen a few years ago, and thanks to the second son's strategy, he was able to save the day, if he can follow the second son, it will really be in vain......" did not have the leisure to listen to these chattering words, Shi Qingyi casually pointed behind the maidservant, "What is that?" The maid subconsciously turned around: "What...... Yes! With an exclamation, the maidservant's neck tilted and she fainted.
I'm sorry, but it's the easiest thing to do. Shi Qingyi said in his heart, and quickly dragged the stunned maid into the room. Then he walked out of the door, hid in a hidden place and carefully observed for a while, and after finding that there was indeed no one else nearby, he quickly got up again and wanted to slip away.
Along the way, Shi Qingyi stunned two more maids, and took advantage of the concealment of the shadow of the courtyard wall. It took a while to return to her yard, and when she lay back to her familiar place, Shi Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and soon, she could change back to her original state again, under the pseudonym Changsun Jing's public face, and took out the disguise potion that had been prepared for a long time, Shi Qingyi immediately began to work on the skin, so soon, she regained that ordinary appearance, and when a qiē returned to its original state, Shi Qingyi thought about it, and then, regardless of the still unbearable stinging pain all over her body, After changing into a dark dress, she left the room again, and she was going to say goodbye to the old lady Dugu. The Li family's mansion suddenly suffered this catastrophe, as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she disappeared without a trace, what an unseemly thing, Shi Qingyi appears now, and it can also dispel others' doubts about himself, as for why he appeared so late, Shi Qingyi smiled slightly, the reason is very simple, because he was also attacked, not to mention, the five corpses in his yard were genuine, and it was absolutely irrefutable at that time to talk about this: Li Shimin's wife, Changsun Jing, was suddenly attacked, Although he eventually killed five people, he was also severely injured and forced to hide, so he didn't know what happened later, and finally it was too late.
Perfect lie, because what is said in this is eighty percent true, in addition to Shi Qingyi's martial arts, but in fact, who can think that at Shi Qingyi's age, he can already be extremely strong in an instant, enough to severely damage a strong person like Demon Shuai?
If there are still people who maliciously find fault, Shi Qingyi will not mind, because she believes that the old lady who knows her bottom will definitely cover for herself and support herself, and with the old woman as the backing, Shi Qingyi will be fine. There's no need to think about anything.
Thanks to the old lady's bad temper, there was not a single junior in the old lady's room, and several grandmothers obediently left the room after getting the old lady's instructions, leaving only the old lady and Shi Qingyi, talking quietly.
The old lady Dugu's face was very bad, and she still coughed, although in the fierce battle at night, she had been pressing Xu Kaishan to fight, however, after all, she was old, and she had old diseases on her body, under the fierce battle, the hidden dangers in the body were induced, and now the old lady's body can be said to be extremely bad. "You see that?" The old lady asked, Shi Qingyi nodded, and sighed softly, in Shi Qingyi's eyes, the body of the old lady Dugu was extremely weak. It was clear that her life was short, and the old lady smiled: "Life and death are fate, besides, I am already very long-lived, far more than my sisters, it should be said that I am still the luckiest one among them." The old lady said, handing an object to Shi Qingyi, "This is your thing, I guess you will definitely come to me first, so I took it with me." "It's Shi Qingyi's red silk. It's just that at this time, the sword body of the red silk is miserable, not only the bright red color emitted by the sword body all the time has disappeared, but also the countless cracks that are densely scattered like spider webs, anyone who has a little bit of knowledge of weapons will know that this sword is useless. Shi Qingyi stretched out his index finger and flicked it on the sword, and suddenly, the sword body collapsed piece by piece and fell to the ground, making a dull sound. Looking at the red silk in his hand that only left the hilt of the sword, Shi Qingyi smiled bitterly.
In the life-and-death struggle with the demon marshal between the electric light and flint, Shi Qingyi actually used the red silk as the medium to forcibly perform the powerful sword skills, and in the face of the full force of the demon marshal's final counterattack, Shi Qingyi also used the red silk to resist, and the result was that under the medium of the two's competition, and at the same time bearing the fierce and peerless strength of the two, even the sword body made of Xuan Tie could not bear it, and was damaged by Yan zhòng. "It looks like we have to go back to the furnace and rebuild it." The old lady looked at Shi Qingyi and said. Shi Qingyi nodded, it is true, but this re-forging is not necessarily a bad thing, the original use of the blood sacrifice method, resulting in a decline in the quality of the sword body, after many battles, the sword body has already been broken, and the battle with the demon marshal is just the result of many accumulations, and now, with the gradual improvement of Shi Qingyi's martial arts, the convenience brought by the blood sacrifice method is almost negligible, but the damage to the red silk made Shi Qingyi very nerve-wracking, and now it is forged again, so that the red silk can restore the original quality, In fact, it is also Shi Qingyi's will.
"You were also present when the Demon Shuai and Yuan'er and his wife fought against each other that day," the old lady said, "You can go and see the Dou family now, you can guess her situation." Her tone was low and sentimental. Shi Qingyi naturally knew that no matter who it was, if she was hit by the full force that the demon had been brewing for a long time, Mrs. Dou would definitely die, not to mention that Mrs. Dou still used the secret method of forcible use at that time, even if she rushed over now, it was very likely that she would not see the last side of Mrs. Dou, thinking of Mrs. Dou's decision when she faced the demon handsome, Shi Qingyi's heart was also very regretful, such a fierce lady, how could her first impression be very ordinary! She immediately said goodbye to the old lady and prepared to go to Mrs. Dou to see Mrs. Dou for the last time. The old lady waved her hand tiredly, Shi Qingyi saw it, and her mood was very complicated, but more, she still regretted for this awesome old man, the old man, time is running out, and what makes the old man even more sad is that the daughter-in-law died in front of him, and the Li family will lose these two extremely wise ladies in a short period of time, which is really a great misfortune.
Shi Qingyi went to the main house of the Li family's mansion, at this time the square was overcrowded, the Dou family was kind and treated people very well, therefore, several wives and concubines of the same generation and a cadre of juniors were guarding beside him, Shi Qingyi was the latest to come, and when they saw her entering, many people showed a dissatisfied look, "The second daughter-in-law Changsun is here!" In a cold speech, Shi Qingyi walked to Mrs. Dou's bed. At this time, Mrs. Dou's face did not have a trace of blood, and her eyes were no longer as wise as before, she breathed weakly, as if this slight movement could be stopped at any time, and when she heard Shi Qingyi come to her bed, Mrs. Dou reluctantly showed a smile, "You are here!" At the same time, he stretched out his arm with difficulty and took Shi Qingyi's hand, "Sit down, don't hold on anymore." Shi Qingyi sat down in front of Mrs. Dou's bed, relieving the tingling sensation all over her body, and at the same time, she also felt the eyes around her looking at her, full of jealousy and resentment. Why did she even come to see Madame lastly. "Why is Madame so partial, what is she like us?" "I really don't understand, what's so good about her, on the day she got married, Mrs. actually gave her the jasper bracelet she was wearing, it was given to Mrs. by the old lady when Mrs. got married, and when the eldest son got married, even the sister of the Zheng family didn't get it, and she actually cheapened this guy." …… Shi Qingyi listened to the whispers of the women around her, and did not make a sound, the sister of the Zheng family is Li Jiancheng's wife, born in the famous Zheng family, with a noble status, and now she is also waiting in the room, hearing these subtle voices, she looked displeased, however, she didn't say anything, it can be seen that because of the jasper bracelet, this lady is also full of complaints about Shi Qingyi.
"You all go down, as long as the eldest grandson is here." Listening to Dou's words, although the women were unwilling, they still had to walk out, and soon, only Shi Qingyi and Mrs. Dou were left in the room, Mrs. Dou showed a relieved expression, and held Shi Qingyi's hand tightly with both hands, "Thanks to you, the Li family can be preserved, I have seen everything you have done, and in the future, the Li family will be handed over to you." Although she spoke softly, her tone was very excited, and Shi Qingyi had to pass a trace of true qi from the hand she held to ease the speed of Dou's blood flow, "And Shimin, he is a naughty child, please also ask you." All right? It's your mother-in-law who can't stand you, and if there is an afterlife, your mother-in-law will definitely repay you. "Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, and since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism has developed extremely prosperously, so Mrs. Dou has this saying. There was a hint of apology on her face. It seems that since yesterday's battle, she has been able to see the future situation of the Li family, Shi Qingyi listened to her words, and immediately hurriedly gagged her, "Don't say it." Shi Qingyi said, "The future is never certain, but I am willing to promise you." And do your best! Looking at the joyful smile on Mrs. Dou's face, Shi Qingyi only felt a burst of sadness.
Another life is about to come to an end, leaving this world, then, there is one less person that Shi Qingyi is familiar with. Walking out of Mrs. Dou's room, a gust of wind blew, and Shi Qingyi only felt a chill.
