The fifth round of the Qionglin Jade Hall 3
When Wang Chuli woke up, he was in a cold and damp dungeon.
This coldness was no different from when she was looking for her way in the secret passage, but she had ignored this feeling because of her nervousness before. At the moment she felt cold, and it was getting colder.
As soon as she moved, there was a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and she screamed out in pain, and the pain in the ribs that she had just fallen on was even worse, and she had to stop abruptly halfway through the scream. She rarely hurts so much, and when she hurts, she thinks of her brother, but he is not there.
My brother is not here, I don't know where it is, cold, damp and hungry. Hearing a rumbling in her stomach, her mind collapsed. How could she have suffered such a grievance since she was a child? Thinking of this, her nose was sour.
At this time, she heard a male voice: "Hey, you're finally awake!"
It was a voice she was familiar with, the last one she had heard before she fell unconscious—a slightly higher voice, as if it had the graininess of a pear, mixed with the coolness of mint, very juvenile, and a teasing tone; Even if you say something boring, it's beautiful. But he's not bored.
Wang Chuli asked vigilantly: "Where is this? Who are you? Who imprisoned me? Who instructed you to come? What do you want to do? What did you do to me? What happened to my brother?"
Listening to her long series of questions, Lu Shihao also felt very embarrassed: "Wait, let me think about how many questions you asked - what did you ask just now?"
"I-" Wang Chuli thought for a moment, "Can I still get out?"
Lu Shihagi heard clearly, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You really believe what I said-I remember everything you said! I'll answer your question first." If you are talking about whether you can get out of this dungeon, then you can do it, because His Royal Highness King Shen wants to take you as a hostage to threaten your brother, and if you can't see a living person, then your existence is meaningless;
"And then there are the previous questions, this is the backyard of Lord Shen's palace, and he thinks that he doesn't usually live there, and has been converted into a secret base - for you, it's now a prison cell. I am his helper, and it was His Royal Highness King Shen who imprisoned you and me, but I didn't do it alone! King Shen told me not to hurt anyone from the beginning, how dare I touch you? Your brother has just finished training by the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that his position will not be guaranteed, and now he is locked up in prison with King Duan. ”
He analyzed them one by one, and this masculine and rational way of thinking made Wang Chuli feel very uncomfortable and wanted to cry.
So Wang Chuli really cried.
understood what he meant, but it wasn't necessarily the reason for the crying, but the way he spoke made her feel that she had no illusions at all, and it was expected that her brother would be arrested and imprisoned, but he didn't say it tactfully at all, so she couldn't hold back any of them, and she didn't finish crying.
So Lu Shihao heard Wang Chuli's sobs. He felt quite guilty in his heart: "Don't cry, you look so good, it won't look good when you cry." In this way, let me tell you, in fact, I was also imprisoned, although His Royal Highness King Shen usually treats me well, but because I accidentally poisoned you, His Royal Highness King Shen said let me heal you, so he locked me up, you see, not only did he not want you to die, but also helped you find a companion, me! How is it, is it much better? Eh, why are you crying again, did I say something wrong?"
Even the words "do things for King Shen" came out, Wang Chuli naturally understood how difficult it was to escape, and when she thought of this, she cried even more fiercely, but it only lasted for a short while, and she seemed to remember something: "Wait, I'm poisoned?"
"Yes, it's the poisoned 'Spring Rain' - what, do you think I knocked you unconscious?"
"Or else?"
"Don't wronged a good person...... I'm not a good person, but if I hadn't helped you heal the poison, you wouldn't have woken up until now!"
"What?" Wang Chuli's voice suddenly lowered, and he asked hesitantly, "Is it the healing poison I understand?"
- She remembered that her brother had been poisoned before, and called the house slave to prepare a large bucket of ice water for him, and sat in it naked, and finally all the ice cubes turned dark green and fell into the backyard, and the grass near the ice cubes immediately withered and turned black and curled up into a ball, and no new grass grew for a whole year.
Her point is topless.
Lu Shihagi said: "Yes, I helped you suck the poison out." ”
"Where is the needle pricking me?"
Lu Shihagi said proudly: "You didn't feel it yourself, did you? I searched for a long time, it was in the area under your ribs, there was a pinhole, it was very shallow, and only the skin was broken, but the poison still seeped in, if you found it a little later, you might never wake up again." ”
Wang Chuli groaned slightly and said, "It's too dark here." ”
"Ah, because it's late, I'm ready to sleep, who knows you're awake. Are you afraid of the dark? I'll help you light a fire. Also, lighting a fire can still warm up a little, it's a little cold here, I'm a martial arts person, so I can see the situation here, and I don't feel very cold. Ah, what, are you going to come along? It's quick to light a fire, you can just lie down......"
The moment Lu Shihao lit the fire fold in the corner of the wall, Wang Chuli jumped over and slapped him in the face: "I'll let you—I'll let you touch me! You've seen it! You're shameless!"
Wang Chuli used all his strength, but Lu Shihao was defenseless, his ears were buzzing, and he felt very aggrieved.
He originally wanted to explain something, but when he thought that he would cry as soon as he explained to Wang Chuli just now, he decided to change his strategy: It's always right to praise her, right? So he turned his brain, while blocking her fist, he tried to see the stitches, and said: "Your skin is very good, you really don't have acne!"
He praised sincerely, but Wang Chuli was naturally even more angry.
When Wang Chuli slapped him in the face, he suspected that he had a concussion, while condemning himself for being too confident that he would not say the wrong thing this time, and lamenting that he had fallen into the way, but before he could resist it, Wang Chuli kicked him behind his knee, and he fell to his knees with a bang, and was trampled on his shoulder, and the whole person fell down, which looked a little funny.
Lu Shihagi turned his head with difficulty: "How are you-"
Wang Chuli said: "Stinky rascal!"
Lu Shihagi reacted at this time: "That's not done-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong!" His adaptability returned to his mind, "You hit me, if you're really angry, after all, we have to live in the same room for a long time, the atmosphere can't be too stiff, how can you relieve your anger!"
Lu Shihao has a lot of words, and his voice is beautiful, Wang Chuli is deflated when he listens to it, and there may be a reason for his face: his facial features are very exquisite, a pair of peach blossom eyes as clear as glass under the thick eyebrows, long eyelashes cast a three-point shadow, and the pupils are water-like affectionate veins, all the way to the lying silkworm below. The corners of his eyebrows and eyes contain a smile, the lips under the high nose bridge are shaped like bows, his face is very good, small and thin, and when he reaches the chin, he is slightly tucked in, which is a gathered appearance - he is really a natural beautiful man, and it is like pulling up a peak in the flat ground among ordinary people, it is difficult not to be noticed, and the whole person looks more gentle and kind, so even if he is asked to play a hawker, he is also a beautiful hawker, and the osmanthus cake can be sold for a few more pieces.
"You know, I really want to die-" Wang Chuli hit softer and lighter, and finally got tired and felt bored, so he stepped aside, sat down against the wall, and hugged his knees in a daze.
Lu Shihagi said: "Aren't you angry?"
Wang Chuli pulled down his face and said, "I'm tired." ”
Lu Shihagi was a little stupid, so he found the nearest wall, sat down on the spot, and said softly: "If you are tired, rest it." ”
As soon as he said this, Wang Chuli was not happy, and insisted on finding something to say.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Me? Lu Shihagi, Hagi is a grass prefix, the next autumn autumn. It is 'the water dwelling knows the stone fish wave, and the mountain dwells in the Hagi of a thousand chapters'. I didn't have parents when I was a child, and I was picked up by my grandfather by the river, and my grandfather didn't want me to fall back into the water again, so my surname was Lu, Lu of Lu. Hagi is the name of a flower, but it is rarely used, just an unknown small flower......" Lu Shihagi said, "You are Wang Chuli, right? I have heard your name, but it is much better than mine." ”
Wang Chuli sneered: "You have a lot of words, ask for a name, you talked so much!"
Lu Shihao said: "His Royal Highness King Shen has instructed, don't make you unhappy, I want to make you happy, first of all, I have to make myself happy, talking can make me happy, so I will say a lot." ”
Wang Chuli raised her head and tilted her cheeks to look at him: "Is this so? If you want me to be happy, you must first tell the truth." I'm not going to let me out anyway, I want to know what, tell me, okay?"
Wang Chuli was born beautiful, she knew this.
If you are born beautiful, but you don't have any ability, it is dangerous for a girl, and it has always been very malicious to women; and if the status is too noble, it is not very good, not to mention that you have to learn poetry, books, etiquette and music since childhood, as a lady who has been beautiful for more than ten years, you can't step out of the house, and you will be allowed to be married to others when you become an adult, and you have no chance to choose.
And like her, the family belongs to the nature of the "nouveau riche", but it retains the nature and pleasure ability of people to the greatest extent, and what she grows into depends on her innate character, she is not a bad person, she does things according to her own ideas, she is both naïve and happy, and she is also spoiled by her brother, coveted by others, and dare not touch her, it can be said that she is envied by many people.
She looked at Lu Shihagi like this, and Lu Shihagi couldn't refuse.
Lu Shihagi met her gaze squarely, he smiled with interest, and nodded, "Okay." ”
Wang Chuli said: "I remember, your osmanthus cake is very delicious." You still smell of osmanthus cake. Did you specialize in it?"
Someone praised himself, and he was willing to chat, Lu Shihagi felt very happy, jumped up, and jumped around with small broken steps like a puppy: "Yes! The chef at home also said that this osmanthus cake is his ancestral masterpiece, and I hid and watched it for a long time before I succeeded in stealing the teacher." ”
"Chef?" said Wang Chuli.
"That's right, chef. Lu Shihao smiled and said: "Do this kind of hard-working work for His Royal Highness King Shen, and you can't eat something good?"
"Aren't you a killer?"
"I am, but you can also call me Lord Shi, it's just a false position, it's not a contradiction. Killers aren't all nameless, don't you think, they wear night clothes during the day? No. The reason why they are silent is that they always have another identity, sometimes as a hawker, sometimes as a private school teacher, sometimes as a teahouse owner...... In normal times, they are no different from ordinary people, and 'ordinary people' are the most indistinguishable group, which is the so-called 'big hidden in the city'. For example, now, you and I are both prisoners in a dungeon, and in the eyes of others, you and I are the same. Are you hungry? The food is still a little hot, do you want to eat a little?"
Wang Chuli said: "So that's the case. But why did you take refuge in Zhao Li? He was a madman and ruthless, and now he has imprisoned you, but you don't seem to hate him. ”
Lu Shihao smiled, looked up at the ceiling, and said, "Are you looking forward to my miserable life experience, being coerced by him and forcing me to do this business? No, I'm just greedy." When faced with a certain degree of glory and wealth, people can take risks. I chose it myself, I'm not loyal to anyone, I'm just loyal to money. ”
The two were silent for a while.
Wang Chuli opened his mouth and said, "Lu Shihao, then I'll ask you one more thing." ”
Lu Shihagi replied casually: "Huh?"
"You came back empty-handed, just to bring me here, didn't you?"
Lu Shihagi paused for a moment and said, "Yes." I did come back without anything—you know?"
Wang Chuli chuckled and said, "I know, I've seen it all." Even though you move quickly, I can see it. That purse is still on you, isn't it? You drew my attention away and took Duanwang's purse when I was done attacking Yan Sheng, didn't you?"
Lu Shihagi was secretly surprised: "That's true, that's right." He took his purse so that when he searched him, he found that he had 'no purse'—"
In turn, it proves that his purse appeared in the emperor's Longyou Palace. Wang Chuli grabbed the conversation, "This way you can frame him, right?"
“...... Be. If you knew all of this beforehand, I would know why His Royal Highness King Shen insisted that I come to arrest you. ”
Wang Chuli frowned: "Because I know everything? Guess why I know these things?"
Lu Shihagi quickly guessed the answer, but this answer made him unbelievable all of a sudden, he speculated like this, and felt incredible: "Could it be that His Royal Highness King Shen he-"
"yes, he asked you to arrest me, not because I know everything, but because you don't know that I know everything. At that time, Zhao Tong came to his brother and discussed this matter. He didn't tell you about it. ”
