Chapter 44: Hu Lijin's Crime and Punishment
Qin Yuang picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her, looked at her carefully, and said, "Yulan said that you just cried, what are you crying about?" I didn't say I didn't want you! Don't worry, no matter what, I will love you very much in this life! ”
These words made Shui Dingdong want to cry even more, because his words of "no matter what" clearly showed that he still minded the fact that she was no longer a virgin in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But this can't say that he is wrong, after all, he was born and raised in this feudal era, and he can say "no matter what", which is already very magnanimous.
So Shui Dingdong could only say nothing, and ate silently with his head down, during which Qin Yuang helped her pick up vegetables again and again, and sure enough, as he said, he still "loved" her very much.
After eating, it was getting late, Qin Yu ordered Yulan to serve Shui Dingdong and take a bath, and then came in, still hugging Shui Dingdong and sharing the bed.
Shui Dingdong had the intention to let him out, but he was afraid that he would take it as a hypocrisy, so he couldn't say anything to refuse in the end.
These martial arts practitioners are really tough, they did it twice in the afternoon, and they actually did it again in the evening. Tired Shui Dingdong was soft in his arms all night, and the next morning, Qin Yuang called her to get up, Shui Dingdong got up and dressed dizzily under Yulan's service, washed his face and combed his hair, and drank half a bowl of porridge in a dizzy manner, and then was carried on the horse by Qin Yuang and rode eastward.
It wasn't until he came out of the East City Gate that Shui Dingdong finally became conscious, and opened his mouth to ask Qin Yuang: "Where are we going?" ”
"Go back to Qinjiabao! In order to send you to meet the surnamed Shang, I have been delayed for more than half a month, and if I don't go back, my father should scold me! ”
Yes, it's time to go back to Qinjiabao! But when she goes back to Qinjiabao, what is her identity?
The last time I went to Qinjiabao, the people of Manbao treated her as a guest of honor, but she widely told the fact that she was engaged. Now that she returns to Qinjiabao, what kind of eyes will the people of Qinjiabao look at her? Can you still treat her like she used to?
"Will you marry me again?" She asked suddenly.
Qin Yuang didn't answer immediately, and walked quietly for a while before speaking.
"This ...... Let's talk about it when we get back! I like you, it's not false at all, and I'm never as unsentimental as my surname Shang, so ...... I said I would love you for the rest of my life, and I will do what I say! ”
Shui Dingdong understood, what he probably meant was that he couldn't marry her anymore, but he liked her, so he would love her for the rest of his life.
He once said that even if she got married, he would try his best to snatch her over, but at that time, she could not be a wife, only a concubine.
She is not married, but she and Zhang Min have already been husband and wife, and in Qin Yuang's eyes, it is no different from being married.
Therefore, he could no longer marry her, at most he could only take her as a concubine. And is she really willing to marry him as a concubine and accept his love for a lifetime?
She didn't want to, she even wanted to stay away from Qin Yuang immediately. But now is not the 21st century, she can't just carry a small backpack and go to any city, and she will not starve to death. In this chaotic feudal era, without Qin Yuang, she may not be able to survive even a day.
She raised her eyes in confusion, looking at the white clouds in the sky, wishing that she could be on the top of the clouds, above the sky. Not to be looked up to, just to stay away from this worldly world that she couldn't adapt to at all.
She was sitting in front of Qin Yuang, so when she felt that Qin Yuang had suddenly stopped the horse, she naturally glanced at Qin Yuang's face. She found that Qin Yuang was staring ahead, his face gloomy.
She subconsciously immediately turned her face, and as far as her eyes could see, she saw a man standing upright in the middle of the road, blocking the direction in which she and Qin Yuang were advancing.
A thin but sturdy body, a handsome and cold face.
That's not Hu Lijin, that's Prince Xuan who has been chasing Hu Lijin.
"Where's Hu Lijin?" Shui Dingdong blurted out, and after asking, she realized that she was asking too abruptly, so she quickly added, "Excuse me...... Do you know where Hu Lijin is? ”
Prince Xuan didn't pay any attention to Shui Dingdong's question, and a pair of eyes coldly looked at Shui Dingdong's face and body, and then fell on Qin Yuang.
"Why did Your Excellency stop in the way?" Qin Yuang asked first. He had seen this man's skills, and knew that he was not a mortal, and he was not his opponent at all, so he couldn't help but be full of vigilance.
"This woman is going to be decided by our fairy queen! But I, Hu Lixuan, have never been willing to bully the small with the big, so, the kid surnamed Qin, you let go of this woman and leave by yourself! Prince Xuan opened his mouth coldly.
The words "bullying the small with the big" couldn't help but make Qin Yu raise his head and laugh for a while.
"Bullying the small? What a big bully! I know you're very capable, but I'm telling you, she's already my woman, and you want to take her away unless you kill me first! ”
"Oh?" Hu Lixuan's cold eyes once again roamed around Qin Yuang's face for a long time, and then he nodded, "That's okay!" As long as you can block my move, I Hu Lixuan will no longer pay attention to this matter! ”
"Wait a minute!" Shui Dingdong listened to Qin Yuang's words "She is already my woman", but he didn't know whether it was bitter or sweet in his heart. She didn't know that Qin Yuang and a mortal could not be Prince Xuan's opponent at all, for fear that Prince Xuan would really make a move, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her, "Your Excellency Prince Xuan, can you tell me first, where is Hu Lijin now?" ”
Prince Xuan still turned a deaf ear to her words, but looked at Qin Yuang with cold eyes, but when he heard a sigh come into his ears, a man's figure turned out from behind a big tree.
"Hu Lijin!" Shui Dingdong blurted out and exclaimed, "You, you...... How did it become like this? ”
The man was tall and handsome. However, in less than a month, he was emaciated and haggard. Shui Dingdong originally hated him to the core, but when he suddenly saw him like this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Hu Lijin didn't answer, just stared at the water dingdong, and a soft smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This time...... You okay? ”
How dare he ask her if she was okay? Shui Dingdong suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly burst out.
"Do you think I'm going to be okay? Zhang Min is dead, Your Excellency Prince Jin, do you feel very happy? ”
"Yes! I know...... Zhang Min is dead, and I have long regretted that I have traveled you to this era, but now...... It's too late to regret! ”
His face really showed a tragic look of "regret is too late", and Shui Dingdong's heart softened slightly, but when he thought of the "Soul Hooking Demon Queen", he quickly regained his rigidity.
"Good! Since you already regret it, then, send me back to my time! ”
"There's no way I can send you back because ...... The fairy queen has already taken away the cloud fragrance beads! ”
Hu Lijin's face was full of apologies and remorse, but Shui Dingdong seemed to be just playing a show.
"There's no way to send me back? Sure enough, you said you couldn't send me back! She sneered, her voice piercing her eardrums, "Then why are you still coming to see me?" ”
"I'm here because...... The fairy queen ordered me to come with Prince Xuan to take you back to Xianyuan Valley, so as to make up for my sin of incompetence! ”
His face was blank, as if he were an endorsement. Shui Dingdong couldn't hold it anymore, tears rolled down his eyes, his eyes were staring at Hu Lijin, and he complained with blood word by word.
"Is that why you lured me into this age? I'm alive and well in the 21st century, and you're fooling me here with all your rhetoric just to ...... Complete the mission assigned by your fairy queen? ”
"Yes, I deserve to die!" Hu Lijin didn't ask for forgiveness on his face, only apologized, "But at the beginning...... When I met you, I found that you didn't remember anything at all...... Once upon a time, and ...... You are living happily and happily in the 21st century, I didn't intend to disturb you, desperately to be punished by the fairy queen in the future, and I don't want to ruin your life. But...... But you want to marry Zhang Min, I just thought...... Instead of you marrying Zhang Min and suffering all your life, it is better for me to complete the task assigned by the fairy queen, so ...... I'm just going to get you here......"
"Sophistry! Pure quibble! Shui Ding Dong interrupted him with a hiss, "But what about Zhang Min?" Even if Zhang Min is not a good person, he will not die for his crimes, right? Why did you want to travel him here and let him die without dignity? ”
Hu Lijin's face was full of pain and he was speechless.
