Chapter 376 Whoever is bright and who is dark
In the blink of an eye, Wan'er and Cai Yan spent a whole day in a panicked mood.
Roughly calculated, the current time should be the next afternoon. And Wan'er and Cai Yan are two weak women after all, and they can't do anything when they are imprisoned here, so they can only lean their backs against the stone wall, their heads down and think about their hearts.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door lock outside the curtain, Wan'er and Cai Yan each looked up, looked at each other again, and then lowered their heads again, thinking that the masked people had brought them food and water.
But after the curtain was lifted, it was not the masked woman who came in, but a masked man. Wan'er and Cai Yan didn't care about this, anyway, in their opinion, it didn't matter if the person who brought them food and water was a man or a woman.
However, when the masked man walked in front of them, Wan'er and Cai Yan both sensed that something was wrong. For though this man is covered with his face, the lust and evil that comes out of his eyes are not covered, and it is impossible to cover them.
"Y-What are you going to do!?"
The masked man smiled darkly: "What are you doing?" Who doesn't know that Mrs. Cai beside Lu Ren is peerless, and the maid Wan'er is also a first-class gentle and lovely person? Lao Tzu hasn't been a woman for a long time, how can he let go of such an opportunity now? ”
Wan'er and Cai Yan hugged each other in shock, Wan'er even stretched out her hand to take off the hairpin in her hair and hold it in her hand, still forced her composure in fright, pointed at each other with the tip of the hairpin, and said in a trembling voice: "You, don't come here!" My hairpin is poisonous, and when I see blood in my throat, I will die when I stab it! ”
The masked man was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously took two steps back, and his eyes were focused on the hairpin in Wan'er's hand. But after a while, the masked man smiled again: "What a fierce temperament, but who are you scaring little beauty?" Such a small hairpin, don't think it can hurt me. ”
Mouths spoke. The masked man's footsteps began to approach Wan'er and Cai Yan again, and Wan'er and Cai Yan became more and more frightened. But suddenly, Cai Yan grabbed Wan'er's hand holding the hairpin, put the tip of the hairpin against his throat, and the voice of the words was unexpectedly cold and calm: "Don't force us!" If Wan'er and I are at fault, what will you do to explain to Yuan Sangongzi? And if Wan'er and I die here, Yi Hao will definitely become mortal enemies with Yuan Sangongzi as soon as he knows about it. You don't even have to wait for you to return to Hebei, even here, those of your companions will kill you to vent their anger because they are angry that you have done something bad and hurt everyone! ”
The masked man was said by Cai Yan. The footsteps couldn't help but stop again. Although there was a raging desire/fire in his eyes, it was also obvious that he was unwilling. On the other end, Wan'er and Cai Yan held the hairpin together, staring at the masked man opposite with great nervousness.
In case the masked man still wanted to do something, maybe Wan'er and Cai Yan would not hesitate to stab the hairpin tip into their throats. But...... To be honest, subconsciously, neither Wan'er nor Cai Yan wanted to be like that. Ants are still stealing life, let alone people? What's more, Wan'er and Cai Yan still have the hope of being rescued in their hearts.
At this time, a hoarse voice suddenly shouted: "Old Seven." What are you doing? ”
The masked old man in the sill room was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly ran out of the sill room to make a voice to another masked man who had just made a voice and had now entered the cave: "No, I didn't do anything, just look at these two beauties...... Oh. What else do you need from your guests......"
The masked man who had just entered was clearly the leader of the group. looked at the masked old seventh, and then looked at Wan'er and Cai Yan in the threshold room hugging each other, and they also held a hairpin pointing to their throats, and then they looked a little disgraced under the panic. I'm afraid even idiots know what just happened.
For a moment, the masked leader was furious, and kicked the masked old seven to the ground with a flying kick, and then stepped on the masked seven's chest. He scolded, "You beast! It's usually just ridiculous/lewd/lustful, but can you touch these two distinguished guests? If something happens to them and it ruins the big thing of the third son, won't everyone die for you? If we hadn't come back in time, everyone would have died at your hands! Come! ”
Immediately, someone replied to enter the cave again, and the masked man ordered to drag the masked old seven out of the hole. And a moment later, Wan'er and Cai Yan heard a miserable scream from the masked old seven.
The next moment, another masked man came in with a bloody short sword and surrendered his life to the masked leader. The masked leader nodded, came to the threshold and bowed respectfully to Wan'er and Cai Yan, and said, "I am not strict under the Emperor, so I frightened Mrs. Cai and Miss Wan'er, I am really ashamed." Please rest assured, although the two of you are imprisoned here, after all, they are the honored guests sincerely invited by our master, as long as you do not have the idea of escaping, you will definitely treat each other with courtesy. Shicai, the shameless man who was rude to the two, has now been beheaded under the behead, and the right is to apologize for the two. ”
Wan'er and Cai Yan's horror was fixed for a while. Probably because of their own good cultivation, Wan'er and Cai Yan came to the threshold together to return the salute to the masked leader and said a few corresponding polite words. And the masked man also raised his head and carefully hung Wan'er and Cai Yan, looking like that, he should have wanted to see if Wan'er and Cai Yan still had any problems. After a few glances, the masked leader nodded in satisfaction and turned away.
Cai Yan finally put his heart down at this time, panting lightly and preparing to sit back in place, but at a glance, he found that Wan'er was a little stunned standing at the threshold door, holding the threshold bar with both hands, and the expression on her face was also very weird, and even Cai Yan called several times without any reaction.
In desperation, Cai Yan had no choice but to walk to Wan'er's side, stretched out his hand and pulled Wan'er's hand back from the railing, and Wan'er did not come back to her senses until this time. It's just that this time, Wan'er asked Cai Yan very softly for some reason: "Sister, do you think Guo Saijiu will be thrown into the Yuan family?" ”
"Huh?" Cai Yan was extremely confused by this: "Sister Wan, what's wrong with you?" Why do you suddenly ask such a thing? ”
Wan'er was also stunned, then shook her head a few times, and smiled reluctantly: "But, maybe I was really frightened just now, thinking about something in the clouds...... Oh, I was thinking inexplicably just now, if the lord changes to the command of Yuan Gong, then it seems that Guo Xijiu can no longer go to us to drink wine, unless he also changes to Yuan Gong and becomes a colleague with the lord again. ”
Cai Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Impossible." Guo Xijiu often went to our place to drink and talk with Yi Hao, and after Yi Hao learned about Yuan Shao's expression, they used to joke about it. At that time, I had heard Yihao mention it, and others didn't dare to say it, but Guo Xijiu was absolutely loyal to Cao Gong. If Cao Gong fails, Guo Saijiu will also lose with Cao Gong; On the other hand, if Cao Gong has an accident, Guo Saijiu will definitely be Cao Gong's minister. Therefore, Guo Saijiu will definitely not switch to Yuan Shao's command. ”
"Oh, oh......"
Wan'er said "oh" twice, and lowered her head again, not knowing what she was thinking. Cai Yan couldn't do anything about this, it seemed that Wan'er was really frightened just now. In fact, don't say it's Wan'er, Cai Yan wasn't just as scared just now? Several times I even wanted to stab the hairpin directly into my throat.
So Cai Yan didn't notice that just now, when they were only separated from the masked leader and saluted each other, Wan'er sniffed a few times out of habit. It was these few times that Wan'er smelled a smell that she was very familiar with. And this smell, Wan'er only knows that a person has it.
And then it was precisely because of this that Wan'er was overjoyed for a while, and she wanted to call out when she climbed the threshold with both hands. But just for a moment, Wan'er reacted as if it wasn't like that, so this call didn't come out, and the little joy that had just appeared on her face disappeared, replaced by the weirdness that Cai Yan saw later.
In this way, Wan'er was pulled back to the stone couch by Cai Yan and sat down again. Cai Yan was patting her chest on the side to calm down, and Wan'er was still bowing her head and hugging her knees, thinking about her thoughts:
"Could it be him? Impossible! The lord said that he would never switch to Yuan Shao's command, so there would be no mistake. But that smell, that smell of wine with the breath of elixir, was only found on his body...... Don't worry, Sister Cai often tells me not to panic when something happens, to calm down and think slowly, only in this way can I figure things out......"
――――――――――――――――――――
Outside the cave where Wan'er and Cai Yan were imprisoned, the masked leader was looking at the scenery in the mountains. After a long time, the masked leader suddenly let out a long sigh, tore off the masked scarf and took out a wine gourd, and poured it into his mouth as soon as he raised his head.
"Head of the house!"
The person who made this call was the masked old seven who had intended to mistreat Wan'er and Cai Yan before. It's just that there are no scars on the body of this masked old seven, not to mention blood stains or anything.
The masked leader replied in a low voice, and the masked old seven said loudly: "Just now, my subordinates went to test it, and it was already certain that Mrs. Cai and Miss Wan'er had overheard the conversation arranged by the head of the family last night. ”
The masked leader's voice was no longer hoarse at this time: "Needless to say, I heard it in the shadows just now." If they hadn't heard all that talk last night, Wen Ji wouldn't have said something like that to you. You didn't touch them, though, did you? ”
The masked old seven said: "No, the subordinates actually didn't get close to them at all. And the subordinates can see that if the subordinates get closer, with the temperament of Mrs. Cai and Miss Wan'er, I am afraid that they will really stab themselves to death. ”
The masked leader nodded, "You're doing well, go home and rest first, because you can't run into them again for the time being." Otherwise, if she recognizes me, my plan will fail! ”
The masked old seven replied and disappeared into the mountains. The masked leader took a few more sips of wine and sighed in a low voice, "I didn't want to show my face in front of you, but I can't settle down until I see if you're okay with my own eyes." (To be continued............
