Chapter 389 - Counting is Counting
Before Qin Shaoyang came to the imperial capital, he went to Shennongjia to investigate the clues of his grandfather's disappearance, and met a girl named Mengjie on the way, he saw that the girl was poor and alone, so he lent her some money. Unexpectedly, this girl actually stole her wallet, but Qin Shaoyang was very angry, and later the girl realized her mistake, Qin Shaoyang lent her the money she already had to go home, and told her not to do such a stupid thing as running away from home again. Unexpectedly, the girl he saved that day would become his life-saving benefactor today, which was really beyond Qin Shaoyang's expectations.
Huangfu Mengjie walked in front of Qin Shaoyang, her eyes were fixed on Qin Shaoyang, she couldn't stop looking, and said: "It's such a strange feeling, I always feel as if I've seen you somewhere before, but I can't remember it." β
Qin Shaoyang knew what the girl named Huangfu Mengjie in front of him was thinking, he was afraid that the other party would guess his identity, so he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "How is that possible, Miss and I still have to be familiar with each other, Miss must have recognized the wrong person." β
"No, it's a real feeling, I think we must have seen it before, otherwise I wouldn't have been willing to help you last time." Huangfu Mengjie smiled at Qin Shaoyang.
Qin Shaoyang felt that if he continued to talk to this girl, his identity would be exposed, and he had to leave here before she recalled the past, and there was only Peony left in the guest room in the hotel, he was really a little uneasy. If something happens to Peony, then he can mess things up, after all, Peony betrayed the Purple Charm Palace for him, then Ji Yanran's methods are fierce and vicious, God knows that she will punish Peony like this.
Qin Shaoyang looked up at the floor clock located in the corner of the guest room, the time displayed on it was more than five o'clock in the morning, he didn't go back all night, I don't know what Peony would worry about.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyang said goodbye to Huangfu Mengjie and said, "Miss, thank you for saving your life, I will definitely thank you if you see me again in the future!" β
"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, not to mention that when I was in danger, someone helped me selflessly." Huangfu Mengjie smiled at Qin Shaoyang and said.
Qin Shaoyang didn't have too much communication with Huangfu Mengjie, he was afraid that his identity would be revealed, so he left this luxurious villa as quickly as possible. Luckily, he ran out of the villa and immediately encountered a taxi, and he handed a few bills to the taxi driver, telling him to get to the hotel as fast as possible, even if it was against the traffic rules.
With money as a backing, the taxi master drove as if he was playing with his life, and even ran a red light, no matter what, Qin Shaoyang finally rushed back to the hotel. When he first arrived at the door of the hotel, Qin Shaoyang bumped his shoulder with a waiter, he quickly said sorry to the waiter, turned around and rushed to the elevator. The number of elevators gradually increased, until he came to the building that Qin Shaoyang had booked, and he rushed out like a wind.
ββ¦β¦β
When Qin Shaoyang ran to the door of the guest room he booked, the whole person was stunned, only to see that the door of the guest room was hidden, and the room was messy, as if there had been traces of fierce fighting, but the figure of Peony was long gone, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
Qin Shaoyang walked slowly to the guest room, he looked down at the messy clutter on the floor, suddenly, an item appeared in front of him, Qin Shaoyang stretched out his hand to put the item in front of his eyes, only to see that the item was a very delicate small hairpin, carved with the pattern of a phoenix bird, very beautiful.
Seeing this hairpin inlaid with a phoenix bird, Qin Shaoyang's heart suddenly moved, he seemed to have guessed who had fought with whom in the room, and this mysterious intruder was the Phoenix Flower Envoy of the Purple Charm Palace. Since the Phoenix Flower Envoy knew about the hotel room where they collapsed, then he must have a way to find out where we lived, and it seems that the peony was most likely taken away by the Phoenix Flower Envoy.
"It's terrible, if only I hadn't had that much alcohol last night!" Qin Shaoyang turned around and sat on the bed, he complained to himself hatefully.
But soon, Qin Shaoyang found another thing, there was a card on the bed he reached out to touch, and the card was also printed with small characters. Qin Shaoyang stretched out his hand to take the card in front of him, but saw that the card was left by the Phoenix Flower Envoy, which roughly meant that if he wanted to save the Peony Flower Envoy, Qin Shaoyang had to go to a piece of abandoned labor in the imperial capital Xixiao alone to ask for someone. If Qin Shaoyang hadn't arrived at the factory before seven o'clock this morning, they would have to take the peony back to the Purple Charm Palace.
Qin Shaoyang looked up at the time, the time was approaching six o'clock now, the time was pressing, and he couldn't delay it any longer. Fortunately, the Phoenix Flower Envoy has not yet brought the peony to the Purple Charm Palace, which means that the peony can still be saved, once she falls into Ji Yanran's hands, her death may be very ugly. But just when Qin Shaoyang left, his expression was shocked, he turned to look at the entire guest room, his nose moved slightly, the corners of his mouth outlined a smug smile, and he turned around and ran towards the outside of the hotel room.
ββββββββ as Qin Shaoyang guessed, when he was attacked by a mysterious man, Peony was also attacked by the Phoenix Flower Envoy.
In terms of personal skills, the strength of the peony is still above the two sisters of the phoenix flower, but the phoenix flower makes the two sisters actually borrow the tasteless incense from the night lotus, and the peony is confused by the fragrance for a while, and the two phoenix sisters almost did not use any strength to capture the peony. Originally, they planned to bring the peony back to the Purple Charm Palace, but since they had already caught the peony, they simply caught Qin Shaoyang with them, so they left a creed to inform Qin Shaoyang where they were here.
Peony is weak due to the inhalation of the incense, which also saves the phoenix flower to use what rope to bind, now they just need to wait for Qin Shaoyang's arrival in this abandoned factory, then they will use the incense to confuse Qin Shaoyang, and then they will solve the two of them without much effort.
"Sister, it's almost seven o'clock at this time, will that Qinyang not come?" The Phoenix Envoy looked up at the gray-white sky in the east, and she looked at her sister Phoenix Envoy with some concern.
The Feng envoy shook his head and said in a firm tone: "No, he will definitely come, how could a person who is so affectionate leave his partner here, believe me, it won't take more than ten minutes at most, and he will appear!" β
Peony collapsed on the concrete floor with her whole body weak, although she struggled desperately, but because she inhaled too much incense, her whole body could not exert any strength at all, and even her throat was like pressing a stone, and she couldn't speak at all.
The phoenix envoy standing beside Peony sneered, she squatted down and said: "Sister Peony, it seems that your lover will not come to save you, what a pity, if we send you back to the Purple Charm Palace now, I believe that the palace master will definitely punish you in the most severe way, I really look forward to it!" β
"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for that time!" At this moment, a clear and arrogant voice rang out over the entire abandoned factory.
The phoenix envoy and the phoenix envoy were shocked by this voice, and their faces changed, and they hurried to find their reputation, but they saw a figure walking in from the gate of the abandoned factory, and the other party walked straight towards the two phoenix sisters. When the figure approached, the Phoenix Flower made the two sisters immediately realize that the other party's identity was actually Qin Shaoyang.
After being slightly startled, the Phoenix Envoy stepped forward, and she smiled at Qin Shaoyang: "I didn't expect you to really come here to die, I really admire your courage." β
Qin Shaoyang smiled faintly and said, "The person you are looking for is me, and it has nothing to do with Peony, you let her go, and I will return to the Purple Charm Palace with you." β
"Hmph, Qinyang, you must be too naΓ―ve, do you know that you can get in but don't go?!" Feng took a step forward and said proudly towards Qin Shaoyang, "I'll count to ten now, after ten numbers, you Qinyang will definitely fall!" With that, the phoenix envoy began to count the numbers.
When counting from 1 to 10, the corners of Sister Feng's mouth outlined a smug smile, and she said to Qin Shaoyang: "How is it, how does your body feel now?" β
As soon as the words fell, Qin Shaoyang's entire body suddenly collapsed to the ground as if someone had taken his spine bone, and he asked the two of them in an extremely difficult voice, "You guys...... What the hell are you doing...... Why can't my body use force......"
"Haha, Qinyang, you can't think of it, this is the misty incense we got from the Black Lotus Envoy!" Feng Envoy raised the vial in her hand, and she said to Qin Shaoyang: "As long as you inhale a little, you can ensure that person's strength is lost!" β
"Sister, stop talking nonsense with him, just tie her up now!" The Phoenix Envoy who was standing on the side was a little impatient, she immediately grabbed a rope on the ground and walked towards Qin Shaoyang.
But just when the Phoenix Envoy was about to touch his body, Qin Shaoyang, who was originally paralyzed and weak, suddenly burst into flames, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the Phoenix Envoy's collar, and then pulled it hard, and the Phoenix Envoy immediately cut off a big heel on the grass behind him. Qin Shaoyang immediately took the next step, he reflexively rode onto the woman's body, reached out and touched the dagger on her waist, until it was placed on the neck of the Phoenix Envoy, and the Phoenix Envoy stopped resisting.
Qin Shaoyang stretched out the fingers of his other hand to seal the big acupoints on the body of the Phoenix Envoy, he reached out and grabbed the Phoenix Envoy from the ground, he smiled at the Phoenix Envoy opposite: "Miss Phoenix Envoy, now that each of us has a hostage in our hands, why don't we exchange hostages?" β
Feng Envoy didn't expect that Qin Shaoyang would be able to wake up from Mi Xiang's reaction, she stared at Qin Shaoyang in surprise, and asked, "Qinyang, how can you be safe, you should be weak all over, right?!" β
