The creepy Ma Yuanqi squatted on the ground and fumbled around, and finally found a rusty axe at the base of the wall. Holding it in his hand and slowly probing it, he looked out from the low wall, and found that the catcher with the torch had left, and his uncle Fang Mingde was humming a little song and walking back.

The moment the chai door was pushed open, Ma Yuanqi pounced from behind without hesitation and picked up the rusty axe in his hand. Fang Mingde fell to the ground without snorting, blood gushing out of the back of his head.

Ma Yuanqi dragged his body to the corner, grabbed the broken silver in his hand and stuffed it into his arms, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

After resting for a while, Ma Yuanqi came to the door of his uncle's bedroom, hid the bloodstained iron axe behind him, and called to his aunt in a low voice.

A moment later, there was a rustling sound in the room, the door opened, and Tian walked out yawning.

"Yuan Qi, what's the name of the third watch ghost in the middle of the night?"

Ma Yuanqi smiled stiffly and asked, "Where did my uncle go?" ”

"Oh, Geng San, the head of the county jail, will make a full moon tomorrow, and he will order ten catties of tofu during the day, and he will come to deliver the silver after handing over the errand in the evening, and your uncle will go out for half a day. When these two dogs bumped into each other, it must be that they went out drinking again, right? Tian said absentmindedly as he walked towards the gate.

Ma Yuanqi was stunned in place, and cold sweat broke out on his body again. He realized that he might have made a big mistake, but now, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he had to make a mistake! Thinking of this, he raised the bloodstained axe again and pounced from behind Tian.

Sweating profusely, he dragged the two corpses into the house, Ma Yuanqi knelt in the courtyard, kowtowed three times with tears, and then got up and set the house on fire. Huo Huan jumped up to the roof, he threw away the torch in his hand, and quickly disappeared into the night like a lost dog.

With no way out, he made up his mind: to go to Pingzhou City to join the Red Turban Army.

At this time, in a big mansion in Pingzhou City, the lights are colorful, and it is very lively. General Guan Yu's wedding ceremony was held as scheduled.

The bustle and noise outside made Li Shiqing, who was sitting alone in the cave room, feel lonely, and she gritted her teeth and made up her mind that she would make a final struggle tonight at the cost of her own life.

Subconsciously reached out and pinched the sharp dagger hidden in her sleeve, Li Shiqing slowly stabilized her mind.

It was about three o'clock before the guests gradually dispersed. She heard a knock on the door of the cave room, and a strong smell of wine hit her nose, and her heart beat a lot faster.

Guan Yu drank a lot of wine tonight, his face was already slightly red, and his steps were staggering. If it weren't for the eldest brother and the second brother who were empathetic and tried their best to block it, and finally almost used military orders to stop the brothers who were frantically toasting, he estimated that no matter how good the amount of alcohol was at this time, he would have been lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

Guan Yu gently picked up the hijab on Li Shiqing's head with a pole, Li Shiqing's skin under the lamp was delicate and smooth, revealing the unique pink color of a girl in the whitening, her eyebrows were lightly swept, and her cherry lips were bright red, just like the fairy in the painting.

Guan Yu lightly hooked Li Shiqing's chin with his fingers, looked at it stupidly for a long time, and said with a stupid smile: "What the brothers said is right, you are really one in a thousand beautiful women!" After tonight, you can rest assured that no one within a hundred miles of Pingzhou City will dare to touch a single hair of you, because you are the general's wife! ”

Li Shiqing still didn't say a word coldly, but secretly pulled out the dagger in her sleeve.

Guan Yu suddenly let go of his hand and said lazily: "It's getting late, rest early, madam, if you have something to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." After speaking, he threw off his two boots very arrogantly, turned over on the bed, rolled lightly, no longer looked at Li Shiqing, faced the other side, and after a while, he made a slight snoring sound.

Li Shiqing's head was a little dazed, and she didn't react for a while. It was strange that there were many different emotions at the same time, such as joy and resentment, that even she could not comprehend.

After a cup of tea, Li Shiqing finally bit her lower lip fiercely, stood up quietly, walked to Guan Yu's side, and pulled out the dagger. She learned from Pei Zhu that her father had been killed by bandits on the day the city was broken, and his life returned to Huangquan. The revenge of killing the father is not shared! She trembled and stabbed the blade in her hand towards Guan Yu's throat.

There was still an inch from his throat, and Li Shiqing suddenly felt that her wrist was heavy and she couldn't stab it anymore. Through recent contact, although the bandit in front of him is arrogant and domineering, and often speaks lightly about himself, he really doesn't seem to have any excesses in his behavior, but he shows a little thoughtfulness in everything, and he is the most dislike of a bandit. What's more, without his help, I am afraid that my soul would have returned to dust.

Li Shiqing stared at Guan Yu's face like this, holding a sharp blade in her hand, and the scene was very weird.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shiqing's eyes closed, leaving two lines of tears, and said secretly in her heart: That's it, I'm a weak woman, I can't avenge my father, I want to come to Jiuquan to see my parents, they won't complain too much. Thinking of this, Hao flipped his wrist, clenched his silver teeth, and stabbed the dagger towards his heart.

With a "bang", Li Shiqing didn't feel the sharp pain in her chest, and hurriedly opened her teary eyes, but saw that the bright dagger had been slanted into the wall on her side, trembling slightly. And he fell into the arms of the bandit inexplicably, and was bumping into the fierce gaze of that guy.

"I said that no one is allowed to hurt you, including yourself!" Guan Yu roared.

"I've never been a decent gentleman, and when I see a beauty like you, I can't help whistling, drooling, and getting nosebleeds, but I'll never force you to do something you're not happy with. I know that you are reluctant to marry me, but only in this way can I protect you justifiably! Do you understand?! ”。

Guan Yu took a breath and continued: "I knew your identity on the day I first met you, and I originally planned to quietly send you out of the city to join relatives and friends after getting married, but then I asked Pei Zhu, you have no relatives anymore. But is all that I have worked so hard to do worthless in your eyes? Don't you dare to kill me, you have the guts to kill yourself! You've let me down so much! ”。

Li Shiqing struggled in his arms with shame and annoyance, and said, "You --- let me down first!" You're hurting me! ”

"Oh" Guan Yu noticed that after flying her dagger, he had been forcibly pressing her in his arms, and the right hand that he had been grasping tightly had a cyan bruise on his snow-white wrist.

Seeing Guan Yu's face showing shame, his arms clenching him gradually loosened, Li Shiqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that the guy suddenly changed his cunning face and said, "You are now my wife, why did I let you go?" ”

Li Shiqing was speechless for a while, crying and laughing.

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and argued, "You just said that you won't force me to do things that I don't like!" Going back on your word so quickly? ”

Guan Yu tilted his head in thought, turned his face and replied solemnly: "But aren't you doing nothing now?" I'm doing what I like! ”

Li Shiqing was completely speechless, this guy had too much strength, she simply gave up struggling. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were closed, and he scolded in a low voice: "Shameless! ”

Guan Yu smiled indifferently, stood up, gently put Li Shiqing on the bed, and turned around and walked towards the door.

As he walked, he said, "Tonight is the most time you have spoken to me since we met, and I am very relieved. I'd better go and sleep somewhere else, lest I can't help but make a courtesy with you. ”

When Li Shiqing heard this, her silver teeth were crushed, she was ashamed and annoyed, and she was ashamed of herself.

When he walked to the door, Guan Yu turned around and said, "By the way, if you still want to commit suicide, I won't stop you, life and death are life and wealth." It's just that you remember, you owe me two lives. ”

In the empty cave room, Li Shiqing was the only one left, and she stared at the dagger stuck obliquely on the wall in a daze. After a lot of puffing up by the bandits, she found that she had completely lost the courage to pull out the dagger and stab herself again. After a while, she lay on the couch and cried bitterly, her heart was like knocking over a Baiwei bottle, there was bitterness, grievances, shyness, resentment---- the most important thing for her to forgive herself was that there was a long-lost warm feeling and a trace of sour sweetness.

"Madame, Madame". Li Shiqing was taken aback, and when she looked up, Pei Zhu stood in front of her at some point.

"Why are you here in the middle of the night?" Li Shiqing asked in surprise.

"It was the master who asked me to accompany you, are you okay, ma'am?" Pei Zhu leaned over, stared straight at her, and asked with concern.

Li Shiqing wiped a handful of tears embarrassedly, and said in surprise: "Master? Where's the master? ”

"That's it--- it's the bandit General Guan. He said that after getting married, he would call you Mrs. and call him Master. ”

"Poof" Li Shiqing was amused by Pei Zhu's serious appearance, and instantly the pear-faced pear blossoms brought rain, which looked extraordinarily charming.

Late at night, inside the imperial palace of the capital of the capital. The young emperor glared at the two ministers who were trembling on their knees: Wang Guoquan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Dong Linsong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who were among the few high-ranking officials who were not affected by the Great Purge.

"Zheng Decai, take this list to the two of them."

Gonggong Zheng hurriedly walked over, picked up the thick list on the dragon book case, and respectfully handed it to the two ministers.

The two ministers took the list suspiciously, and wiped the cold sweat oozing from their foreheads as they watched.

The emperor turned around and sat down steadily, and waited for a while without impatience before he spoke: "Have you finished reading it?" This is a list of confiscated Dazai's family property. The total amount is worth the treasury income of the imperial court for an entire year! If I want to build a garden, you ministers will push back and say that the treasury is empty, and the people and money are lost. But look at this, let's ask whose world is it today?! Man-made disasters are worse than natural disasters! It is not an exaggeration for this kind of moth of the country to kill him a hundred times! ”

The two ministers kowtowed like pounding garlic and said in unison: "The Holy Wisdom is wise! Dazai is innocent of death! ”
