Chapter Ninety-Seven: Don't Make Me Hate You
In Bai Yinfan's eyes, Senior Sister Qin Xingyi has always had a vigorous and resolute style of doing things, but today she is hesitant and uncertain, which is very different from the past, all because of this little thief, she glared at Xuanyuan Mingyu angrily, and asked, "What else does Senior Sister command?" ”
"Wait, let me think about it." Qin Xingyi hesitated, her heart was full of contradictions, and she was so entangled that she should continue to advance the second step of the serial plan?
"Senior sister, it's almost dawn, are you ready to go? Don't miss the big thing. Bai Yinfan reminded him, and seeing that his senior sister was still sitting and pondering, he waved his hand and ordered the two subordinates to lift Xuanyuan Mingyu up and prepare to put it in the big red box.
Qin Xingyi's eyes were attracted, her heart moved, she was worried that the space in the box was narrow, and she called out in time: "Stop!" ”
The two subordinates were very obedient, and immediately stopped, and stood there carrying Xuanyuan Mingyu one after the other, waiting for new orders.
Qin Xingyi stood up, walked to the side of the red box, looked at the two ventilation holes on the wall of the box in advance, and asked, "Senior brother, why are these two ventilation holes so small?" I'm afraid that people will not be able to breathe well inside. ”
"It should be no problem, Mrs. Kong will make people suspicious." Bai Yinfan replied, thinking: These two small holes are made according to the size you ordered before, senior sister, why are they picky about punching holes now? It can be seen that a woman's heart is a bottomless pit, and her views on the problem will change with her mind, and the senior sister used to be eager to kill this thief with a knife, but now she has become worried that he is depressed in the box.
"Okay. Senior brother, you take the strip of cloth away from his mouth, I have something to ask him. Qin Xingyi hesitated for a moment and ordered.
"Okay, senior sister, please wait a moment." Bai Yinfan agreed, and ordered two of his subordinates to stuff Xuanyuan Mingyu into the wooden box and take out the strips of cloth that blocked the mouth.
Qin Xingyi squatted down, looked into the box, and saw Xuanyuan Mingyu's eyes blindfolded, wrapped around with ropes, and curled up at the bottom of the box with a very aggrieved look, feeling unbearable, and asked, "Mingyu, is it uncomfortable?" It won't keep you in the box for long. ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu was very lonely in his heart, he was controlled by the people of Xifeng Tower, everything was involuntarily, what if they let him do something hurtful? He felt very crowded when he lay in the box, his body had no room to turn around, and his eyes couldn't see anything, so he had to say angrily: "You people in Xifeng Tower are all demons." ”
"What do you say? Who are the demons! Bai Yinfan roared angrily, and swung his fist to shoot down Xuanyuan Mingyu, but he heard Qin Xingyi ask faintly, "Is it?" What about me? ”
"Senior sister, don't listen to him! You're so angry with him. Silver Sail was angry.
"Mingyu, do you think I'm a bad person?" Qin Xingyi ignored the grievances of his junior brother, and cared very much about Xuanyuan Mingyu's opinion.
"If you were a good person, you wouldn't treat me like this!" Xuanyuan Mingyu gasped hard.
Qin Xingyi was also aroused, and shouted: "Fool, you! What do you want Miss Ben to do to you? A father-killer! Not killing you is already considered a mercy. ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu became more and more angry, and refused to call her Xiaoxing anymore, but called her by her name, and replied angrily: "So, Qin Xingyi, you are a witch!" ”
"Huh! The more you talk, the more energetic you get, why is Miss Ben a witch? "Qin Xingyi was surprised for the first time when someone scolded her face for being a witch.
"You! Qin Xingyi! There is no distinction between right and wrong, and the situation is not clear! I said I was innocent, you don't believe it! I've been injured and have lost my memory, and you're still not satisfied, and now you're putting me in a wooden box, what the hell do you want to do? ”
"What do I want to do? Miss Ben tells you that the purpose is very simple, that is, to smash your peace and relatives, and break the attempt of your two countries to form an alliance, so as not to jeopardize the interests of our Western Qin State. ”
"If you want to destroy the harmony, what does it have to do with me?"
"Because you are the third prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, you are the messenger who is ordered to welcome your relatives. If you do something derailing, you will smear your dynasty's face, and your relatives will naturally fail. ”
"I'm not going to cheat!" Xuanyuan Mingyu has confidence in himself and will never do those things that are immoral.
"Really? That's not up to you! Qin Xingyi pursed her lips and smiled, she was very sure of the plan she was implementing, as long as she calmly advanced the serial plan step by step, it would definitely be smooth sailing.
"What do you want to do?" Xuanyuan Mingyu began to become anxious, worried that he would be ruined by them, and he would do something sorry for his ancestors and ancestors, and he would have no face to return to China to meet people in the future. He was in a hurry, desperately trying to raise his head.
Qin Xingyi stretched out the tip of her finger and poked Xuanyuan Mingyu's forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't you think you're asking too much?" ”
Bai Yinfan heard that Senior Sister wanted to reveal all the details and details, and hurriedly prompted: "Senior Sister, why do you have to tell him so much? Slap him out. ”
"Senior brother, take off the strips of cloth covering his eyes, I want to take one last look at his eyes." Qin Xingyi really wanted to know how much Xuanyuan Mingyu hated herself at this moment, if the two of them hated each other, she wouldn't be unbearable to carry out the plan.
Bai Yinfan agreed, reached out to untie the strip of cloth covering Xuanyuan Mingyu's eyes, and watched with his senior sister.
Xuanyuan Mingyu's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were mixed with resentment and despair, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Qin Xingyi, don't let me hate you!" ”
"You hate it, we're enemies! I should always hate you to the core, and it's superfluous to be soft-hearted with you! In the future, you will slowly experience the taste of revenge. Fame, wealth, status, and all other riches and glories are far away from you, and all that accompanies you is inescapable of injustice and suffering. ”
"In that case, you might as well kill me!" Xuanyuan Mingyu really wants to say please be merciful, don't be so cruel to me!
"Kill you? It's not time yet. I won't kill you until I have to! Qin Xingyi couldn't bear to say cold words, stood up, and ordered Bai Yinfan: "Senior brother, help him sleep." ”
Bai Yinfan heard that the two of them had collapsed, and Xuanyuan Mingyu suffered from amnesia, and there was no evidence that Qin Xingyi could not be relieved of the hatred of killing his father, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reached out and clicked Xuanyuan Mingyu's sleeping hole.
Qin Xingyi stood beside the wooden box, condescendingly looking at Xuanyuan Mingyu who had fallen asleep, seeing that although he was asleep, he still had a painful look on his face, probably because he was helpless about his involuntary fate, right?
"Senior sister, please hurry up and change your clothes, it takes a certain amount of time for a woman to dress up as a man." Bai Yinfan seized the time to remind, intending to divert Qin Xingyi's attention.
"Alright, you all go out and carry the boxes out as well." Qin Xingyi sighed, there was no way back now, so she could only move forward step by step.
Bai Yinfan received the order, and commanded two of his men to put a thin plate on top of the box, place some gold and silver jewelry, cover the wooden box, lock the lid of the box with a delicate iron lock, carry it out of the tent, and put it in the carriage.
Qin Xingyi was alone in the camp tent, changing into a set of clothes for the guards of the three princes as quickly as possible, and after changing his appearance, he dressed himself up as a young man.
After dressing up, Qin Xingyi walked out of the camp tent and saw that the more than sixty Xifeng Lou men who accompanied him had changed the military uniforms of the soldiers of the Xuanyuan Dynasty one by one, and red silk was also hung on the carriage, which added a lot of joy.
Qin Xingyi walked in front of Bai Yinfan, and he entered the role first, pretending to be Xuanyuan Mingyu's personal guard Zhang Hao, lowered his voice, bowed, and said in a rough voice: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the little Zhang Hao is here to wait, please get on the horse." ”
Seeing that Qin Xingyi was dressed as a guard vividly, and his disguise technique was no less than his own, Bai Yinfan secretly admired it, turned over on his horse, and asked solemnly: "Guard Zhang, what else is going on?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, what about the letter of welcoming relatives?" Qin Xingyi is not sloppy about the details, especially the important thing like the national letter should not be missing from the body of the greeting envoy.
"Guard Zhang reminds me that yes, but don't worry, this prince carries it with him, and it is foolproof." Since the last time Bai Yinfan found the letter of the Xuanyuan Dynasty from Xuanyuan Mingyu, he has been doubly careful and has been carrying it in his arms.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, let's go." Seeing that everything was ready, Qin Xingyi asked Bai Yinfan to take the lead, followed by himself, and led the fake greeting convoy straight to the agreed greeting station.
The Yingqin Post Station was set up in the Puwang border city on the border of Danjiang State, not far from Qin Xingyi's location at this time, and it took nearly two hours to travel, and it was expected to be able to arrive there at noon.
Puwang border city is a very small town, and it is rare to encounter such a grand state event held here, so the people in the city have invariably run to the vicinity of the post station to watch the excitement these days, hoping to witness the demeanor of the greeting envoy and the princess.
The road was winding, and after a trek, Qin Xingyi's convoy came to the border city of Puwang.
Bai Yinfan rode on a high-headed horse, took the lead to the city gate, ordered the team to stop, turned back to Qin Xingyi who was following behind him, and asked, "Guard Zhang, you go and report to the city gate guards." ”
The guards of the border city have already been instructed by the county government lord that if they see the Xuanyuan Dynasty's welcoming envoy coming, they must quickly send someone to the county government to report, and the county government will personally come to the city gate to greet the state guests.
Qin Xingyi obeyed the order, rode his horse to the guards at the city gate, and said, "Guards, we are the welcome team led by the Xuanyuan Dynasty and the pro-envoy. ”
A captain of the guards guarding the city greeted him, craned his neck to look at the convoy, the number of people was significantly less than the number of people estimated in advance by the county magistrate, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you agree to arrive yesterday at the latest?" Why are there so many people? Or were you one of the first to arrive? ”
Qin Xingyi saw that the guards guarding the city were suspicious, so he jumped off his horse and said respectfully: "This official, just because we encountered a sandstorm on the way to welcome our relatives, we were delayed for a lot of hours, and there were great losses to the men and horses, so we came two days late, and I asked the official to send someone into the city to spread the word as soon as possible." ”
