Chapter 305: Surprise (5)
So after thinking about it a few times, Concubine Xi made a decision:
"Holy Lord, what Lord Fu and several other adults said is not unreasonable. You are the Son of Heaven, and you should never fall here for a few women. The concubine thought that we should agree to this. ”
"But、But the widow is worried, in case the concubine is chosen by the other party......"
"Hehe, with so many women, how can it be so easy to fall in love with a concubine?" In order to reassure Liu Xie, he saw Concubine Xi and said with a relaxed face:
"Besides, according to Lord Fu, how can they choose me if I make myself black and ugly later, and they won't even look at me when the time comes? So please rest assured, the Holy One promises! ”
Hearing what Concubine Xi said, Liu Xie's eyes finally swelled with a look of compromise:
"Alas! Well, the widow should do this according to what Concubine Ai said. But ......"
Although he agreed to this matter, when he thought of Concubine Xi's situation, Liu Xie's heart was still quite uneasy, and he immediately changed his voice and said with a full of worry:
"But you'll have to make yourself ugly later, but don't let the other party pick on you! If you are captured by the other party, the widow and the widow will definitely die sadly......"
Looking at Liu Xie's sincere eyes, Concubine Xi's heart couldn't help but move.
Although Concubine Xi entered the palace because of the "mission", five years have passed, and there is indeed some chemistry between the two of them.
Whether it's love or not, Concubine Xi isn't sure, but she knows that it is at least a boarding and support.
If they really can't see each other again, Concubine Xi's heart will also be uncomfortable.
But at this juncture, in order not to worry Liu Xie, Concubine Xi will not show this emotion, but said confidently to the other party:
"Please rest assured, the concubine is quite good at the art of disguise, and she will never let the other party choose!"
After finishing speaking, I saw Concubine Xi resolutely turn her head and finish her sermon:
"Then there is Lord Laofu, please tell the other party, we agree to their conditions!"
As soon as these words came out, a trace of secret joy flashed in Fu Wan's eyes, and then he pretended to be admired, clenched his fists and said:
"Alas! The Western nobles really understand the righteousness, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary women! The old man admired, admired. Okay, the old man will go and reply to the other party. ”
After bowing respectfully to Concubine Xi, he turned around and told the brown-faced man outside the door their reply.
Hearing that the other party agreed to the conditions, the brown-faced man waved his hand and ordered the more than ten archers to retreat.
"Good! Since you promised, let's hurry up and cash it out! Hand over all the money first, if anyone dares to hide it privately, they will be killed! ”
Under the command of the brown-faced man, in just five minutes, the thieves "ransacked" everyone in the house.
Now that the two sides had reached a consensus, Commander Zhang and his thirty soldiers did not resist anymore, and allowed the thieves to take away a total of more than 1,300 taels of property.
"Good! The first item is finished, and now it's time to choose the beauty......"
With a burst of wicked laughter, the brown-faced man pointed to an open space outside the house and said:
"All the women come out, stand here, and let the masters choose well!"
Of the more than 30 women who traveled with Liu Co-ordinator, except for more than a dozen subordinates, the rest of them were not low-status, either rich or expensive.
On normal days, no one would dare to make such a bold request to them.
But now, not only for their own lives, but also for the benefit of everyone, even if they didn't like it, they didn't dare to refuse, so they could only walk out of the hotel according to the other party's request and stand in a row on the open space.
"Hey, yes, yes! I didn't expect to meet so many beauties in this small Yiyang County, it's really an eye-opener! ”
The brown-faced man rubbed his hands obscenely, and walked quickly in front of the women, as if he were choosing a lady, and carefully observed them one by one......
"Well, yes, that's you!"
"Huh? You're not bad either, come out! ”
"And you and your ......"
The brown-faced man was picking while watching, and in less than a minute, four people had been selected, and the efficiency was very high.
And these four women are not only very similar in age, they are all seventeen, eighteen or nineteen, and they are in their prime;
And it is also unexpectedly unified in terms of identity, several of them are the maidservants of the ministers' families, without exception.
It is not difficult to see that this brown-faced man seems to have a "soft spot" for young and beautiful servants.
For Liu Xiehe and the courtiers present, this is definitely a good thing.
They are not only secretly happy in their hearts, but also secretly looking forward to it, hoping that the final candidate can also be born according to this law.
However, just when everyone thought that the brown-faced man would pick another young maidservant, this man suddenly stopped in front of an ugly and dark woman and looked at him.
In terms of clothing, this woman was dressed very plainly, and even ordinary maidservants were much better than her;
Judging from her face, the woman was dirty and black, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and she still exuded a musty smell on her body, as if she had just crawled out of the mine;
Looking at her figure again, although this person is not low, her belly is bulging, as if she is pregnant, and there is no beauty at all.
But it is really puzzling that such a person has attracted the attention of the brown-faced man.
While showing doubts, everyone's eyes also faintly flashed with worry.
Because they all know that this seemingly extremely ugly woman is not a small role.
This person is the Western nobleman who just took advantage of the gap between the other party's cashier and disguised himself.
"Tsk, tsk! It's rare to see such an ugly woman in the world. ”
After sighing with a smile, I saw the brown-faced man pointing to the woman's stomach and asking:
"What's going on? Is it pregnant? Or is you sick? ”
I thought that if I dressed up as a "pregnant woman", I would be able to pass the test smoothly, but I didn't expect to be targeted by the other party, and Concubine Xi was also full of helplessness.
If she knew this, she wouldn't have stuffed so many clothes into her abdomen, and maybe she wouldn't have attracted the attention of the other party.
But now, it was too late to say anything, and she could only bite the bullet and whisper back:
"If you go back to your lord, the slave is pregnant."
"Hehe, you're really pregnant?" After a chuckle, I heard the brown-faced man ask everyone with curiosity:
"Who is the child's father? Come out and take a look. ”
Concubine Xi really couldn't understand why the other party was interested in "the child's father".
But at this moment, since she has pretended to be a pregnant woman, she must make the lie clear, otherwise the trouble will be even greater.
In order not to implicate other people, after a little thought, I listened to Concubine Xi's reply:
"Alas, adults don't need to look for it, the child's father is not here, he has, he has ...... He's dead. ”
"What? He's dead? ”
After hearing the "bad news", the brown-faced man did not show the slightest sentimentality, but laughed out with great joy:
"Haha! That's great! Master, I've always wanted a baby, but I don't know why, I always haven't come. This is good, let the young master pick up a cheap baby for nothing. Hehe, okay, don't pick it, it's you! In the future, you will follow the master to the end of the world! ”
