The suburbs of the capital city. Winding clear water, flowers. In the early morning, the Yanliu River was shrouded in a light mist, like a milky white silk scarf, decorating the sleepy-eyed river.

The girl was awakened from her dream by the crying and noisy sound coming from a painting boat not far away, stretched gracefully, slowly got up and went down to the ground, and groomed herself in the mirror.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law". With the soft call of the girl like smoke, the brightly dressed mother-in-law walked up the stairs with a strong step, stood behind the girl and said with a smile: "The girl got up so early today, and she had to rest in the same situation last night, why don't you lie down for a while?" As he spoke, he reached out and draped a coat over the shoulders of the girl like smoke.

"There were a lot of guests last night, so I rested late. Originally, I was going to sleep a little longer, but the noise outside was really annoying. Does my mother-in-law know why there is a lot of noise outside? ”。

The mother-in-law sighed lightly, lowered her heavy eyelids and said, "In recent years, there has been a shortage of soldiers outside, and business on the Yanliu River has also become difficult. Girl, don't you know, our painting boat is the leader on the Yanliu River, and it has always been full of friends, don't you think, the business of other painting boats is obviously much lighter than in previous years! The pothos girl on the painting boat is a fledgling chick, and she looks good, but her singing voice and acting skills are much worse than that of the girl. These days, she is forcing her to pick up customers and make quick money, otherwise she will be sold. ”

Hearing this, the girl stopped her slender jade hand that was combing her black hair, and was stunned there, staring at her beautiful face in the bronze mirror with her eyes distracted, thoughtful.

On another small painting boat, the old bustard girl dressed in purple and red crossed her hands on her hips and was scolding a girl who had collapsed on the deck.

"You little red guy, eating and drinking the old lady's, why do you feed you for nothing if you don't make a living? Malinger? If you don't come to this set, I eat more salt than you eat rice! You are not a lady, except for your face and body, you are worth two dollars, and the rest are waste. Since raising you as a foodie, I have lost a lot of money, old lady! Tell you clearly, if you don't pick up customers today, or the old lady beats you to death and admits compensation; Either find a trafficker to sell you, pawn this painting boat, and I will do something else to make a living! You know what?! ”。

The girl who collapsed on the deck struggled to get up, knelt at the feet of the flower butterfly bustard, and cried, "Please mother-in-law don't sell me!" Mother-in-law is gracious, and let me be allowed for a few days, when the slave family is sick, whatever you say is what it is! ”。

The flower butterfly bustard girl unceremoniously raised her foot and kicked it down, shouting: "The old lady has long been unbearable with you!" What is not sick? If you don't die, you will pick up the old lady! ”。 As she spoke, she raised her head and shouted angrily to the turtle slave standing aside, "You pigs, what are you still doing in a daze? Slap me in the face and beat her until she is obedient. ”

Hearing this, a turtle slave hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hair fiercely, and slapped her face with a bow left and right.

In a few moments, there were a few purple fingerprints on the girl's pale face, and red blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"Stop!" With a coquettish shout, a small boat came on the waves, like a smoke girl, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she stood on the bow of the boat.

Ruyan got on the painting boat with the support of her mother-in-law, and the face of the flower butterfly bustard mother immediately became charming, and she bowed politely and said, "Oh, isn't this Ruyan girl?" Which incense breeze blew you here? ”。

The girl didn't look at her, walked to the girl in a few steps, gently picked up her tear-stained face, and helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with the silk handkerchief in her hand with pity, tilted her head slightly and said, "You deceive people too much!" Didn't you want to sell her? Well, how much silver? I bought it! ”。

The flower butterfly bustard mother clapped her hands infinitely and smiled coquettishly: "That's great! This little girl is talented and intelligent, like a cigarette girl's own conditioning, he will definitely be popular all over the Yanliu River one day! The old body spent five hundred taels of silver to buy her, and let her eat and drink for nothing for many years, for the sake of the smoke girl, six hundred taels of silver, you take her away!"

Ruyan turned her head to her mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, give them all the silver, I will take this girl away." ”

The mother-in-law was taken aback, and waved her hand again and again: "The girl Bodhisattva has a heart, and the old body and mind know it. But girl, you can think about it, this is a money-losing goods! It's worth a lot of money! ”。

Ruyan didn't answer, she reached out and pulled up the girl and whispered, "What's your name?" Would you like to come with me? ”。

The girl burst into tears and laughed, dragging Ruyan's jade hand tightly, not daring to relax for a moment, and replied shyly: "The slave family is cheaply named Pothos, and I am a hundred willing to follow Sister Ruyan!" ”。

A smile finally appeared on her cold face, and she gently pulled the girl through the crowd and stepped into the boat as if no one was around.

The flower bustard girl danced and shouted: "Slow walk like a smoke girl, welcome to come to my place to play when you have time." ”

Turning around, she saw a mocking smile on her mother-in-law's face, and hurriedly flattered: "Sister, you are really lucky, like the cash cow of the smoke girl!" ”

The mother-in-law said coldly: "You can deceive my girl, but you can't deceive me!" The old body knows you well, you bought the pothos for five taels of silver, and you dared to ask for six hundred taels of lion's mouth? You're crazy about money, aren't you?! ”。

Hua Bustard Niang said unhappily: "Ruyan girl has personally agreed, do you still want to repay the debt?" Don't care how much silver I bought, let her eat and drink for nothing for so many years, and invited a master to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which don't cost money?! Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the smoke-like girl? Besides, the money in your painting boat came in like water, and you still care about this little money? ”。

The mother-in-law cried hatefully, "Phew! The old body will go back and persuade the girl Ruyan to send the pothos back, and you don't want to get it. You threw off the burden of losing money and let us carry it, and you have to find money for you, and you will be able to take advantage of the cheapness in the world? ”。

Hua Bustard Niang pondered for a moment, and hurriedly changed her words with a smile: "Old sister, you will see the outside world when you say this!" That little girl can become the second Ruyan with a little conditioning, so you can steal the fun! If it weren't for the face of Miss Ruyan, I really couldn't bear to let her suffer with others! Mingren doesn't say dark words, you look at it and give points, you can't let me lose too much, right? ”。

The mother-in-law calmly stretched out her hand and raised her index finger and said, "One hundred taels of silver, one more is not to talk about!" You can go back with the silver and cover your mouth in the bed! ”。

The flower bustard mother had a bright face, and the smiling flower branch trembled and replied: "No, no! Add a little more, old sister, you are too ruthless, and the bargaining is cut to the foot and neck! ”。

The mother-in-law ignored it, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and closed her eyes slightly.

Seeing the situation, Hua Bustard Niang slapped her thigh and shouted: "One hundred taels is one hundred taels!" I admit this dumb man, who made me see you like I was seeing my own sister?! ”。

Since then, the young singer Miss Green Pothos has lived a normal human life, taking care of her in every possible way, and teaching her to play various musical instruments in her free time.

Shanihada, who successfully led his troops back to the base camp, was both proud and worried. Proudly: he slaughtered the Danor tribe with sheep, removed a stumbling block on the road to hegemony, and plundered back a large amount of property, enriching the strength of the tribe. Even if the clansmen of the Danuer tribe do not die, those who are still alive may not have a chance in this life if they want to turn over.

There are two things to worry about: one is that the morale of the army is beginning to be unstable, especially those Wata warriors, who often get together in twos and threes to discuss, and some even ask to go back to the Wata tribe in person. Shanihada's repeated orders and stresses not to listen to the lies of the Cathers were still to no avail. What worried him even more was that after returning to the tribe, he heard that the princess was sick again and had a high fever.

Shanihada was furious, and reprimanded the princess's attendants, and ordered them to do their best for ten days, and if the princess could not recover, he would have their heads removed.

Under the shadow of death, Lang Zhong was unleashed with amazing potential. The eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and finally controlled the princess's condition after five days.

A few days later, Shanihada personally visited the princess in her yurt. Looking at the princess's sunken eyes and chapped lips on the couch, Shanihada pityfully stretched out her big rough hand and gently stroked the princess's smooth cheeks.

Su Lunga slowly opened his eyes and looked fixedly at the bearded man in front of him. There was a flash of anger, humiliation, and hatred in his eyes...... To everyone's surprise, she struggled to get up and sat up, stretching out a jade arm from the bed. At some point, a silver dagger sparkled in her hand, and she stabbed at Shanihadar with swiftness.

Shanihada was completely instinctive, and turned sideways, and the dagger did not stab him in the chest, but plunged deep into his arm.

Su Lunga, who had just recovered from a serious illness, had already exerted all her strength and fell down in despair. With the screams of the maids, a dozen heavily armed guards rushed in from outside the tent, drawing out the scimitars at their waists as they ran, and rushed towards Sulunga, gritting their teeth to chop her into meat sauce.

"Bastard! Stand down! ”。 Shanihada was surprisingly calm, and his eyes never left Sulunga's pale and delicate face.

After a moment, he looked back at the guards behind him and shouted, "Didn't you hear this king telling you all to get down?!" ”。

The guards hesitated and bowed, and quietly retreated.

Shanihada stretched out his uninjured arm and continued to gently wipe the sweat from Sulunga's forehead with his rough fingers.

Su Lunga opened his eyes again and looked at the strong man in front of him in shock.

A smile appeared on Shanihada's face and said, "As I said, you can stab me at any time, and I will never blame you!" If that makes you happy, you can do it again! ”。

Shanihada withdrew his hand, pulled out the dagger stuck in his arm sharply, slowly spread out his thick palm, and handed the blood-dripping dagger to Sulunga again.

A stream of hot blood splattered on Sulunga's snow-white neck, and Sulunga no longer dared to look directly into Shanihada's persistent eyes, trembling and turning her face away. He muttered, "Why didn't you kill me?" ”。

Shanihada grinned, slowly stood up and walked out of the tent, turning back as he went, "Whatever you have done to me, I will not kill you!" Because, you are my woman, my only concubine. ”
