Chapter 32: The Captured Ghost Queen (2)
"Prisoners?" Xie An opened his mouth, a little incredulous. The domain name is the full spelling, please remember the domain name of this site!
As if seeing through Xie An's thoughts, Jin Ling'er said with a wry smile, "You are the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, you should know what kind of crime it is to rob prisoners...... In desperation, Yu took Ding Qiu and other 20 companions and was forced to go to other places to make a living in Liyang and Hengjiang, but the result was ...... What do teenagers know how to make a living? β
"So you ...... Homicide? β
Glancing at Xie An, Jin Ling'er said lightly, "This is the fastest way to make money, isn't it?" We are all burdened with capital crimes, once we are captured by the government, it is a dead end, on the other hand, no matter how many people we kill, it is just a death, isn't it? ββAs far as Yu is concerned, is there any other way out than to be an assassin and kill people? Who would want to hire a woman with such an attractive look? Not to mention getting married, who would want to ......"
"Me! I'll marry you! Xie An said subconsciously, even he didn't know why he said that.
"......" Jin Ling'er looked at Xie An for a long time with a look of consternation, and vaguely, a little anger gradually appeared in her eyes, and she said coldly, "Are you pitying me?" β
This time, the killing intent in her eyes was much stronger than any previous time, as if she was as murderous as when she fought Chen Bei just now, and Xie An couldn't say a word in shock.
Xie An didn't know what to say.
Is it pitiful? Is it mercy?
Mostly......
Facing Jin Ling'er's angry gaze, he looked away with some humility.
At this moment, the voice of a soldier came from outside the tent, interrupting the bad atmosphere of the two people in the tent.
"My lord, the meal is ready......"
"Oh, good!" When Xie An heard this, he hurriedly stood up, walked outside the tent, and took a wooden plate of food from the soldier's hand, the dish was very simple, that is, some vegetables, some bacon, and a bowl of fish soup.
Because Xie An didn't give specific instructions, Liao Li asked someone to prepare some at random according to Xie An's preferences for food.
Bringing the wooden plate to the bed, Xie An looked at Jin Ling'er with some embarrassment, and then hesitated to help her up, let her lean on the side of the bed, and then took another quilt and stuffed it behind Jin Ling'er, so that she could lean more comfortably.
From beginning to end, Jin Ling'er looked at Xie An silently, although her face was still so cold, her eyes seemed to have softened a little.
Suddenly, Xie An seemed to remember something and asked, "What hand are you used to using on weekdays?" β
"What?" Jin Ling'er frowned slightly.
"I mean, if you're used to using your right hand, I'm going to let go of your right hand for a while, or ...... Want me to feed you? β
"......" Jin Ling'er looked at Xie An with a blank look, and said angrily, "Whatever!" β
Good guy, this woman is used to both hands?
No wonder it was so powerful, he once cornered that Chen Bei and almost killed that guy, although the way it looked bloody......
Thinking of this, the corners of Xie An's mouth raised a little evil, and he blinked and said, "When you say casual, do you mean to let go of your right hand casually, or let me feed you casually?" β
I have to say that due to a short period of contact with Xie An, Jin Ling'er gradually understood Xie An's unserious character, and she didn't want to be as angry as she was at the beginning, but just glared at him fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Right hand!" β
"Okay, okay......" Xie An smiled and let go of Jin Ling'er's right hand, and said, "But I said okay in advance, just release it when you eat, and after eating, I still have to tie you up......"
"Cowardly as a mouse!" Jin Ling'er pursed her lips disdainfully.
"Yes, I'm timid, okay?" Saying that, Xie An brought the food to Jin Ling'er and said, "I forgot to tell my subordinates just now, because of this, they prepared it according to my preferences, I hope you are used to eating ......."
Jin Ling'er glanced at Xie An, lowered her head slightly, and said lightly, "As long as it can be eaten, Yu Du is used to eating ......" As she spoke, she reached out for her chopsticks.
It may be that the injury is too severe, resulting in weakness in the whole body, or it may be that Fang has just been tied tightly, causing his hands to be numb, so that Jin Ling'er can't even play the chopsticks steadily, and he misses the chopsticks back into the wooden plate several times.
Seeing this, Xie An smiled and said, "Ah, in the end, I still want to feed you......"
Jin Ling'er's face was embarrassed when she heard this, she glared at Xie An fiercely, didn't speak, gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to hold the chopsticks, letting the cold sweat on her forehead break out, and even though her right hand trembled, she still gritted her teeth and stretched out to the food on the plate.
Looking at her stubborn and strong appearance, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little sad, put away the joke on his face, held Jin Ling'er's trembling right hand, and whispered, "I'll come......" After speaking, he couldn't help but take the chopsticks from Jin Ling'er's hand, and took a chopstick rice from the bowl, hanging it on Jin Ling'er's mouth.
"......" Jin Ling'er turned her head away, and seemed to be a little angry.
But this time, Xie An didn't say anything, just hung the rice on Jin Ling'er's mouth with chopsticks again, even if Jin Ling'er turned his head again.
After repeating this several times, Jin Ling'er raised her head angrily and was about to speak, but she heard Xie An say in a low voice, "If you are still angry about Fang Cai's joke, I apologize to you......"
Jin Ling'er's eyes showed a little surprise when she heard this, she looked at Xie An with a complicated expression, her red lips opened slightly, she slowly opened her mouth, and bit the chopsticks rice.
Immediately, a little crimson surged on her pale face, and she lowered her head and chewed silently.
Xie An obviously saw Jin Ling'er's red face, but he wouldn't say it stupidly, he just pretended not to see it.
After all, he felt that the self-esteem of the woman in front of him was not inferior to Liangqiu Dance.
"Let's take a sip of soup......" Xie An put down his chopsticks, picked up the spoon, scooped up the hot soup, blew it on the side of his mouth, and then placed it next to Jin Ling'er's mouth.
Looking at Xie An's careful movements, Jin Ling'er's expression became even more complicated, and she opened her mouth to drink the soup.
Maybe she was a little absent-minded because she was paying attention to Xie An's actions, so that a trace of soup flowed down the corner of her mouth to her neck.
She subconsciously raised her right hand to wipe it, and suddenly heard Xie An's words "don't move", she really stopped, and silently watched Xie An pick up the dry towel on the side and wipe off the trace of soup from the corner of her mouth from her neck for her.
In this way, after a short cup of tea, because she had eaten some food, Jin Ling'er gradually regained some strength, and said in a low voice, "Let's do it myself......
"Will it work?"
"Hmm......" Jin Ling'er nodded.
Seeing this, Xie An hesitated slightly.
He knew very well that a person with a strong self-esteem like Jin Ling'er would definitely not rely on the strength of others unless he was helpless, and if he insisted on helping, it would probably have the opposite effect.
Thinking of this, Xie An was no longer reluctant, handed the chopsticks to Jin Ling'er's hand, and silently looked at Jin Ling'er's face that made him feel extremely sorry and regretful.
I don't know how long it took, Jin Ling'er finally finished eating, raised her head, and saw Xie An looking at herself intently, with a little confusion in her eyes, frowning slightly, and coughing lightly.
"Huh? Finished eating? Xie An reacted at this time, as if he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell, and arranged the dishes and chopsticks on the wooden plate indiscriminately.
Maybe it's because of what happened to her, Jin Ling'er is quite strict about food, she ate all the food on the wooden plate very seriously, and even drank the soup spoonful by spoonful, without leaving a single bit.
But because of this, Xie An felt even more sorry for this woman......
In all fairness, even though Jin Ling'er was an assassin sent by Prince Li Wei to kill him, he couldn't do anything to hold a grudge against this woman, even if she was an assassin who killed people without blinking.
"I'm going to tie your right hand just in case......"
Jin Ling'er didn't speak, just nodded slightly, very cooperative, without the slightest resistance.
Suddenly, Xie An seemed to think of something, quickly stood up, rummaged for something in the package in the corner of the bed, and then, under Jin Ling'er's surprised gaze, took out a wooden comb from the package.
Seeing this, Jin Ling'er showed a little doubt in her eyes, and asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?" β
"You'll know later," Hehe smiled, Xie An walked to Jin Ling'er's side, sat down on the edge of the bed, raised his hand to pull out the bamboo hairpin that belonged to him, and then combed Jin Ling'er's hair one by one.
Maybe his attention was on Jin Ling'er's hair at the moment, he didn't notice it, Jin Ling'er, who lowered her head slightly, turned more and more blushing.
After half an hour like this, Xie An stopped what he was doing, reinserted the bamboo hairpin back into Jin Ling'er's hair bundle, and then turned out a bronze mirror from the package, put it in front of Jin Ling'er, and said with a smile, "How is it?" β
Looking at her hair from the bronze mirror, Jin Ling'er was slightly stunned.
To be honest, her hairstyle at the moment has not changed much from Fang Cai, it is the same as coiled on her head, if there is any difference, that is, Xie An deliberately left a few strands of hair to cover the left side of her face, covering her forehead and the scar on the left side of her face.
At this moment, Jin Ling'er not only skillfully covered the two scars, but even had the charm of a woman, compared to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was a little inferior.
"Well, it's so much pretty, isn't it?" Xie An said with a chuckle.
I have to say that Jin Ling'er is a woman after all, how she doesn't care about her appearance, just looking at the surprise in her eyes can be seen, but after glancing at Xie An's smug smile, she bit her lip, pretended to be disdainful, and said, "It's not good...... If Yu goes to fight with people like this, he will be killed in three or two moves......"
Although she said that, her eyes couldn't help but look at herself in the bronze mirror frequently.
Seeing this, Xie An didn't say anything, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "At least here, you should do this first, this is much better than wearing this mask......
"Good...... See? β
"It's just beautiful," Xie An sat down a little closer to Jin Ling'er and said with a smile, "Or?" Sister Jin thinks about it, marry me? In this way, I don't have to be wary of a master like Sister Jin coming to kill me day and night......"
Jin Ling'er's face was slightly startled at first, and her breathing stopped slightly, but after hearing the second half of Xie An's words, her eyes showed a little disdain, and she said with a sneer, "Speaking of which, aren't you afraid that the old lady will kill you in the future?" - If you were so scared, wouldn't it be better if you killed your mother with a knife? β
"Isn't that reluctant...... Ahem, I mean, it's a shame to kill a beauty like Sister Jin......"
"Beauty?" Jin Ling'er's eyes showed a little disdain, and she said mockingly, "You are really spineless!" Do you think that with such flattery, the old lady will promise not to kill you? β
"It's not flattery, Sister Jin is indeed a beauty, with the charm of a woman, it's just ...... Hmm, the white bi is slightly flawed, yes, the white bi is slightly flawed! β
"Bai Bi is slightly flawed...... Jin Ling'er muttered these four words, suddenly let out a long breath, sighed and said, "Okay, Hugh is going to talk about it anymore, what Yu is a beauty, what is said to marry Yu, it's just that Yu is afraid that Yu will kill you...... That's it, for the sake of you saving Yu's life, Yu will let you go......"
Xie An smiled and rubbed his hands when he heard this, suddenly frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "What about Li ......Shou?"
Jin Ling'er glanced at Xie An and said lightly, "Yu will not give up Jinling!" β
"Let's discuss?"
"Not negotiable!"
"It's really not negotiable?"
"Seriously!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Sister Jin think about it again?"
"Don't think about it!"
"What I'm saying is, Sister Jin thinks about it again, and marries me......"
"......" Jin Ling'er's face froze when she heard this, and she glared at Xie An angrily and angrily, only to stare at Xie An'an in horror, and hurriedly said, "Sister Jin, don't be busy refusing first, my little brother will analyze it for you...... Women, after all, you have to find a home, right? ββSister Jin is in her prime right now, but what about decades later? Could it be that Sister Jin can still be an assassin for decades? β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's not a good choice to fight and kill...... Besides, although the younger brother is only a five-grade official at the moment, over time, most of them can become important ministers in the court, and the younger brother is good at collecting money, and Sister Jin also knows it...... The younger brother has several ideas in his heart to make money, as long as it goes well, he can earn tens of millions of taels of silver casually, so that Sister Jin no longer needs to be an assassin and kill people to make money to feed those orphans in Jinling......"
"Humph!" Jin Ling'er pursed her lips and sneered, and said lightly, "Tens of millions of taels? Not to mention whether you can earn it, even if you do, will you use the silver to donate to the orphans of Jinling because of the rest of the sentence? β
"Of course! - As long as Sister Jin is willing to nod! Xie An said with a wicked smile.
"......" Jin Ling'er looked at Xie An deeply, as if judging the authenticity of Xie An's words, and after half a sound, he said lightly, "What about Jinling?" The old lady wants Jinling! β
"This ......" Xie An smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "This can't work, I can't do it, why does Sister Jin insist on Jinling?" If it's to adopt those orphans, just find a place to build a village, for example, the area around Jijing is very good......"
"Huh?" Jin Ling'er's face froze when she heard this.
As if sensing that Jin Ling'er's expression was wrong, Xie An said with a strange expression, "Sister Jin, you wouldn't have thought of it, would you?" β
Jin Ling'er opened her mouth, speechless, looking very cute.
Get!
I'll just say, she's a stupid woman too!
Xie An held his forehead and sighed, then smiled a few times and said, "What does Sister Jin think?" β
Jin Ling'er frowned and thought for a while, as if she was really thinking about this matter, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Rhetoric, I was almost deceived by you!" β
"Liar?" Xie An looked puzzled and said in surprise, "When did I lie to you?" β
"No?" Jin Ling'er sneered and said, "Okay, then the old lady asked you, what to do with the tigress in your family?" ββOr do you want your wife to be small? β
"Uh, this ......" Xie An smiled.
Thinking of Liang Qiuwu's possible reaction after learning about this, Xie An only felt a chill on his back.
"The old lady is older than you, it's impossible to call that tigress sister, Hugh is going to waste his efforts, the old lady can not kill you, but Li Shou, the old lady must be killed!"
When Xie An heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Jin, Li Shou is my friend......"
"It's not my mother's friend!" Jin Ling'er interrupted categorically.
"Sister Jin, can't you raise your noble hand and let go of Li Shou's kid?"
"It is benevolent and righteous to spare you from dying, little thief, you don't want to gain an inch!"
Listening to Jin Ling'er's categorical tone, Xie An smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I definitely can't sit idly by and watch you kill Li Shou, since that's the case, then I can only trap Sister Jin for the rest of my life......" Speaking of this, he laughed evilly and said, "This seems to be good, go back and find a house in Jijing, hide Sister Jin inside, hide Sister Jin in it, and ...... every day Hey, hey, hey! β
"You!" Jin Ling'er didn't know if Xie An was joking or really had this intention, but in addition to being angry, she was a little red-faced, snorted coldly, and ignored Xie An.
Seeing this, Xie An sighed secretly, he knew that Jin Ling'er would probably not let go of Li Shou's matter, but he had time, didn't he?
After all, Jin Ling'er is seriously injured at the moment, and it will take a long time to recover, so Xie An is not in a hurry.
In his opinion, as long as he grinds hard every day, Jin Ling'er will let go one day.
Thinking of this, Xie An was no longer reluctant, sat on the side of the bed, and changed the topic and said, "Well, even if there is a conflict in the matter of Li Shou, then I won't talk about it...... Speaking of which, Sister Jin's martial arts are so strong, is she self-taught? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Well, it's okay to be idle anyway, right? - Sister Jin, I relied on my extremely tenacious will to resist what I didn't do to you, so you want to repay it, right? β
"......" Jin Ling'er glanced at Xie An helplessly, and said indignantly, "That's from the Guardian Assassins...... Thief, are you satisfied? β
"Guardian?" Xie An was stunned.
Seeing this, Jin Ling'er nodded and said, "Well, hundreds of years ago, it was called Weiguo, and many famous assassins in history came from ......here," she said, she glanced at Xie An, who was dumbfounded, and said mockingly, "You don't think that there is only one assassin pavilion in the world, Jinling [Dangerous Building], right?" β
Xie An was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Sister Jin is saying that there is also an assassin pavilion in Weidi?" β
"What do you mean [there is one]?" Jin Ling'er glanced at Xie An, and said, "My Jinling [Dangerous Building] has only been established for more than ten years, but the [Jingxia] Pavilion in Kewei Land is an assassin pavilion that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and Yu and Ding Qiu and others are all taught by the assassins of the [Jingxia] Pavilion, but more than ten years ago, there was a disagreement within the [Jingxia] Pavilion, which led to splits and went their separate ways, so Yu took Ding Qiu and others back to Jinling......"
"Internal divisions?"
"Well, some of them went to Hongshan Dongling as [Dongling] Assassins, some went to Hedong Anyi as [Anyi] Assassins, and some went to Guangling as [Guangling] Assassins...... Only a handful of people remained in the Guardian and continued to run the [Jing Xia] Assassin Lodge......"
"Cantonese ...... Guangling? Xie An's eyes widened in astonishment.
Perhaps noticing Xie An's stunned expression, Jin Ling'er said lightly, "It is said that you are from Guangling, why, don't you know about this matter?" β
Xie An shook his head slowly, and said with a wry smile, "I really don't know...... In other words, with Sister Jin's [Dangerous Building], there are a total of five Assassin Pavilions in Da Zhou? β
"It's not five, it's just that these five are more famous, and in the rest of the Great Zhou, there are also some assassin inns, some of which are taken by the rich and officials from all over the world for their own use, and some are ...... to make a living" As she spoke, Jin Ling'er paused, and after glancing at Xie An, she said in a deep voice, "Even if it is to repay you for saving your life, remember the markers of these five assassin inns, if you see these markers in a certain city, it means that the place is the territory of an assassin's house, or, There is a large number of assassins from the Assassin's Mansion in this place, so if you want to live, you must not make trouble in this place! -- They are, the Dongling Assassin [Mountain] Character Logo, the Anyi Assassin [Dan] Character Symbol, the Weidi Jingxia Assassin [Xia] Character Symbol, the Guangling Assassin [Chuan] Character Symbol, and the Jinling Weilou Assassin Pavilion, [10] Star Symbol! β
"Is it that powerful? More powerful than Sister Kim? Why haven't I heard of it? Xie An asked curiously.
Jin Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "Even if it is divided into four, these four assassin pavilions are not comparable to my dangerous building, as for why haven't you heard of it...... Before that, had you heard of me Jin Ling'er? - It's all shady deeds, what assassin would make a big deal out of it and make it known to the world? β
"Uh...... That's right! Xie Anyan smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Li Shou's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Xie An, Xie An, I heard that you ran into an assassin? You okay? - Liao Li, what are you doing stopping this king? β
Xie An clearly saw a trace of murderous intent flashing in Jin Ling'er's eyes, and hurriedly shouted at Li Shou outside the tent, "Come on, I happen to have something to tell you...... as he spoke, he took out the quilt that Jin Ling'er was leaning on, so that she could lie on the bed, and then lowered his voice with a wry smile and said, "Sister Jin rest for the time being, I have ordered Liao Li, no one is allowed to enter this tent...... I'm going to talk to Li Shou about something, and I'll be back soon! - Sister Jin rest assured, it's not your business, it's the Chen Bei who just fought with Sister Jin! β
"......" may have thought that she couldn't do anything if she was tied up at the moment, Jin Ling'er nodded silently.
Seeing this, Xie An breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't lie to Jin Ling'er, after all, he did have to discuss with Li Shou about that Chen Bei and the ...... behind this person
