Chapter 188: The Return Trip
"PS: The previous chapter had the wrong name, it should be "Chapter 187". Also, damn me, auto-release failed?'
Perhaps influenced by the absurd but seemingly factual legend he had heard, Zhao Hongrun lost his appetite after eating two bites of barbecue.
Seeing this, the cold witch slowly stood up and said calmly, "Let's go, I'll send you back to Zhengyang." ”
When the little witch Mi Rui heard this, she hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm with you." ”
However, the cold witch looked back at her sister and said in an irrefutable tone, "Sister goes alone, you stay here." ”
"Wow...... What a grievance.'"
Zhao Hongrun seemed to be able to feel the resentment of the cold witch towards her sister at the moment, and it was that resentment that frightened Na Rui and quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't say anything, pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked straight out.
When he stepped out of the house, he realized that the hut was built next to a forest, and he didn't know if it had been built by a nearby hunter.
At this time, Gao Leng Wunu also walked out of the house and passed by Zhao Hongrun.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun accosted her with a smile and said, "It's very hard......"
I have to say that he has some sympathy for this cold witch, and with such a stupid sister like a pig teammate, he turned a obviously successful hijacking into a farce that made Zhao Hongrun cry and laugh.
It can be seen that this seemingly cold witch is much smarter than her sister, and after a moment's shock, she understood the meaning of Zhao Hongrun's words, and sighed sadly: "I only have one of my dearest relatives......"
When Zhao Hongrun heard this, he took the opportunity to probe: "What about other relatives? Aren't you the nobles of the Chu Kingdom? ”
“……”
Unexpectedly, the cold witch glanced at Zhao Hongrun lightly, and walked forward without saying a word.
"Shhhhhh It's really much harder to get out of this sister's mouth than that stupid sister."
Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and rushed up a little depressed.
Wait until he follows the witch to the hut. Only then did he discover that the sisters had a carriage.
It was really, a very ordinary carriage, with a dilapidated appearance, and wooden planks of different degrees of new and old abounded, apparently repaired and repaired. Even the wood of the two wheels is clearly different.
"You just drove this carriage back to Chu from Ba to Chu?" Zhao Hongrun asked again when he saw the opportunity.
"......" The cold witch glanced at him, didn't speak, just leaned into the carriage and took two thick cloaks, and handed one of them to Zhao Hongrun.
"That's what I mean to sit outside, right?"
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can only ride a horse, not drive." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the cold witch also put on a thick cloak and sat in the coachman's seat with the reins in her hand. However, it left half of Zhao Hongrun's position.
『……』
Zhao Hongrun frowned, got into the carriage, and sat next to the cold witch.
"Is there anything in the car that I can't see?"
While the cold witch was slowly driving the carriage, Zhao Hongrun took the opportunity to lift the curtain behind him a little and glanced inside.
He was surprised to find that there was no secret in the carriage as he had imagined, and it was just a small space like a woman's boudoir. Spread a futon, and then. Zhao Hongrun vaguely saw a few belly pockets, praise clothes and the like.
"Uhhh
Before Zhao Hongrun could react, the cold witch pulled the curtain from his hand and looked at him with displeasure.
"Hmm, I see."
Zhao Hongrun nodded suddenly, crossed his arms, and shrunk his head in the oncoming cold.
Carriage. Drive slowly on the snow.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun was puzzled to find that the scenery around him was completely unimpressive. You must know that he has a super memory that can be called an absolute memory, as long as it is the places he has visited and the scenery he has seen. There was little chance of forgetting, and now, he had no impression of his surroundings, which meant that he had never been here.
"North ......"
Zhao Hongrun judged the direction of the two of them at the moment from the position of the sun, and Zhao Hongrun asked coldly: "Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, what is the relationship with you two sisters?" ”
"......" Hearing this, the cold witch subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and Zhao Hongrun clearly saw the look of surprise in her eyes.
But she didn't speak.
"Don't you admit it?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at her and said in a low voice: "You said that you want to send me back to Zhengyang County, but the direction of the carriage is north, which means that the two of you sisters are taking the queen hostage, and they are going south in the carriage, south of Zhengyang...... It's the city. Combined with the fact that Xiong Tuo's surname is Mi and your sisters are also surnamed Mi...... Can I think that your two sisters are Xiong Tuo's relatives, but they used to live far away in Ba, and this time they rushed back to Chu from Ba thousands of miles...... Is it because you heard the news of Xiong Tuo's defeat? Or is it because of Ji's relationship with the army to attack Chu? ”
"......" The cold witch didn't say a word, and looked into the distance with a calm face, as if she hadn't heard Zhao Hongrun's words.
"Shhhhhh This woman is much more difficult to deal with than her sister......
Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed in his heart.
It can be seen that this cold witch has a very firm heart, as if no matter what happens, she can't lose her square inch, and the best way to deal with this kind of person is to throw out a secret that is enough to shock her and destroy her psychological defense in one fell swoop, otherwise, don't even think about getting any news out of her mouth.
But the difficulty is that Zhao Hongrun has not yet thoroughly understood the details of their sisters, and there is no way to judge whether the other party is related to Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.
After thinking about it, he pretended to state the facts and tentatively said: "In fact, even if you hand me over to Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, at this moment, he doesn't dare to do anything to Ji, so he can only send someone to return Ji to Zhengyang County......"
When speaking, Zhao Hongrun kept paying attention to the look of the cold witch, but what made him feel disappointed was that the other party seemed to treat him as if he was air, deaf to what he said, and only cared about driving the carriage himself.
"Ah, he's not the type to talk much...... Not. It's more likely that you don't like to talk to strangers, right?'
Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly with a little headache, his verbal offensive was useless for this kind of object that did not enter the oil and salt.
"It seems that we have to change our strategy......
Zhao Hongrun pondered for a long time, and finally decided to change the topic: "What kind of frog Gu, is he alive at the moment?" I mean, in my body? ”
may not have expected Zhao Hongrun to suddenly shift the topic to this aspect. The Witch of Gao Leng turned her head to look at him in a little surprise, and finally said calmly: "If it dies, you and I will both die." ”
"Finally spoke......
Zhao Hongrun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this move is indeed a clever move to do what he likes, or to pick up the topic that the other party cares about the most at the moment.
"Well, that's very clear...... In other words, the lives of both of you and me are tied to a worm at the moment? ”
"Gu!" The cold witch corrected succinctly.
"Good, good. Poison. That...... Is there really no way to resolve it? Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at the white face of the cold witch, and said temptingly: "I believe you are reluctant to tie your life to me, right?" ”
Hearing this, the high cold witch sighed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I know what you want to do, but ...... There is no cure for the frog Gu. ”
"There's no way around it?" Zhao Hongrun asked unwillingly, and suddenly, he noticed a slight fluctuation in Gao Leng's witch maiden's eyes, which made him suddenly feel a little surprised in his heart: "There is a way to remove the frog Gu on my body." Right? ”
But to Zhao Hongrun's surprise, the cold witch listened to him. Suddenly turned his head and glanced at him coldly, his eyes, which were originally unwavering, were faintly angry.
That gaze, even if Zhao Hongrun could be sure that the other party would not kill him, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
"What did I say offended her?" …… Is it so?'
As if he had comprehended something, Zhao Hongrun lowered his voice and said, "It's not that way." Will make you ......"
"Die!" Gao Leng Wunu picked up Zhao Hongrun's words in an indifferent tone, and said coldly: "Do you think I will tell you?" ”
『……』
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, but finally gave up and continued to talk.
Yes, if this matter is a matter of life and death for her, I believe that even if she has a way to dissolve the Qing Gu in his Zhao Hongrun's body. It will never be revealed to him.
He shook his head and mocked: "It's really ridiculous, two strangers who have never been masked before, have to be together because of the relationship of an evil thing? Hey, hey, hey! ”
Gao Leng Wunu was silent for a moment, then suddenly softened her tone and said lightly: "Qing Gu, it just makes the two people who are in love more loyal and unswerving, and they will not betray each other because of some temptations...... It's not the fault. ”
"Yes! It's not the Qing Gu that's wrong, it's your stupid sister who is good for nothing but her face!"
Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth and snorted twice, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the resentment in his heart.
And just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Hey, I'm thinking to myself, you're not going to kick me out of the carriage, are you?"
Zhao Hongrun was shocked.
He was about to ask, but saw the right hand of the witch quickly reach into the carriage, and take out a short sword with a scabbard from the carriage.
And during this time, her eyes were always fixed on the front.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun wondered in his heart, looked up and looked ahead, only to see him squinting and watching, only to find that in the distance of the fluttering snow, there was a figure walking towards them slowly on the snow.
When the other party approached, Zhao Hongrun took a closer look, only to find that it was the white-clothed young man he met in Zhengyang County before he fell unconscious.
"Found ......"
The young man in white smiled faintly.
Zhao Hongrun glanced at the appearance of the cold witch who looked like a great enemy, and in order to avoid misunderstanding between the two, he hurriedly greeted the other party and said, "Hey, this brother, it's okay, this woman and I are no longer hostile at the moment." ”
But the young man in white seemed to be a different person, looking at Zhao Hongrun indifferently, and suddenly took out the bag of silver that Zongwei Shen Yu rewarded them from his arms, and threw it in front of the carriage with a click.
This is not a gesture of kindness.
"You ......" Zhao Hongrun looked at the other party in surprise.
But he saw the young man in white holding a sword flat in front of him with both hands, slowly pulled out the blade, and said coldly: "Wei, Su Wang Ji Run, Zhang is doing the right thing for heaven today, and he will do it to you...... Oh my! ”
『……』
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth wide, his face full of astonishment.
"Huh?" (To be continued.) )
