(15) Onset of illness
In the Qiang King City, Luo Xiaoxi, who was dressed in men's clothes, came to the gambling house with the silver she had taken from the Qiang Palace, and killed all sides with her excellent ear power, and gambled fifty taels to one thousand taels.
"It's always my money, and it seems that this gambling house is also very boring."
Luo Xiaoxi wrapped the money in a cloth, and at the same time threw a piece of broken silver to the banker, and said, "Brother, I bought this tablecloth." ”
As she spoke, she hugged the silver in her arms, and walked outside, not long after she left the gambling house, there were several big men with masked faces blocking her way, and the passers-by on the side were so frightened that they fled in a panic, and the shopkeeper also closed the door very cooperatively, and the stall set up hurriedly pushed his own stall car and slipped away.
"Yo, sir, I just came out of the gambling house, and I ran into a roadblock robbery, why is the business of your gambling house so bad, dare to love because of a bad reputation, scaring away a lot of customers."
One of them shook the big knife in his hand and said with some stuttering, "You...... How do you know me...... We are the people of the casino. ”
"You talk a lot" took the lead and hit the stuttering man with the handle of the knife, looked at Luo Xiaoxi, and said: "If you know each other, hand over the things in your hand, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”
"Central and South America in the Qiang King City dared to rob the streets, according to my master, you don't want to die."
The leader saw that the other party had a weak little white face and dared to speak wildly, and without saying a word, he raised his knife and cut it, but he was dodged by the other party cleverly, and the other four big men saw this, and hurriedly cut Luo Xiaoxi's body, although she quickly dodged, but her arm was still accidentally cut through a hole.
It seemed that they had to force her to make a trick, so she abandoned the silver in her hand and ran forward, and when she looked back and saw that the five were all concerned about the silver, she took a ball of smoke from her waist and threw it there, and when they reacted, they had already inhaled the smoke and fell down one after the other.
Luo Xiaoxi covered his mouth and nose and took back the bag of silver, looked at the person who came out of the probe next to him and asked, "Who has water and rope, take me and use it." ”
"Thanks, brother,"
Brother, I've worked hard for you, and I have to trouble you to go to report to an official, this piece of broken silver should be regarded as your reward for your righteousness and bravery. After tying the five people with ropes, Luo Xiaoxi continued to look at everyone and said: "Please help me to be a witness, this gambling house is open to welcome customers, and we can't even see us winning, and we also sent five big men to block the road and rob in broad daylight, and I don't know how many people have been poisoned by them, so deceitful too much, we will definitely bring this black-hearted gambling house to justice." ”
Luo Xiaoxi's words, the surrounding people all applauded, she was afraid that the people of the government would find out that she was the identity of the thief after finding her, so she hurriedly looked at the silver money and left, she heard the sound of splashing water behind her, followed by the sound of the people scolding, and ran to the most prosperous Qinglou in Qiang Wang City with a smile on her lips.
Sure enough, the girls in this Qinglou are more pleasing to people, no wonder these men have wives and concubines or don't forget to go to the Qinglou, wine and food plus beautiful women with excellent appearance, it is really very comfortable.
After a while, Luo Xiaoxi had already drunk all kinds of meat and vegetables, and when he saw a woman who had just held a wine jug, he stepped forward and hugged the other person into her arms, took the self-poured pot and handed it to the other party's mouth, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Girl, accompany me to drink one." ”、
Xiao Yu put the self-poured wine pot in her hand on the table, looked at Luo Xiaoxi who fell to the ground, and said: "It turns out that it was you who ruined my plan that day, Luo Xiaoxi, so good, then I will settle the old and new hatreds together." ”
In a room surrounded by walls on all sides, only a small window was still shining, Luo Xiaoxi finally woke up from his drowsiness, and just wanted to reach out and rub his eyes, only to find that his hands had been tied firmly.
She was confined to a closed room with only a small window above, and they tied her to a wooden cross, isn't that a punishment that can only be found in prison? She was arrested by the government, but this house doesn't look like a prison cell, could it be that she was kidnapped?
When Luo Xiaoxi was not sure why, the stone door under the small window on the high place actually opened, and she saw a woman in pink walking along the stairs under the open stone door to her side, and when the other party arrived in front of her, she looked at the person in surprise and said viciously: "Xiao Yu, I should have killed you with a dart in the first place, and I would not have given my life to you in the hands of this wicked man blinded by hatred." ”
"Luo Xiaoxi, do you really think that no one knows your identity as a thief?" Xiao Yu put the things on the ground, picked up a dagger and looked at Luo Xiaoxi, with a look on his face, "After Ruoxi failed to assassinate Xu Qiangning, I sent someone to investigate your darts, and it wasn't until today that I saw you come out of the Qiang Palace, and I didn't know that the thief in Ruoqiang City was Xu Qiangning's medicine, and it seems that Xu Qiangning's heart disease is not a shakuhachi." ”
Xiao Yu became the maid of the princess of the Central Plains, she should have suspected it a long time ago. Looking at Zhiyi's look of wanting to protect Xu Qiangning, it should not hurt him, and he must have heard the message that she was his medicine, could it be that Furong is the princess's person. Then this Xiao Yu must be hiding from the princess Zhiyi to take her life, after all, as long as she dies, Xu Qiangning will suffer from the pain of piercing her heart, this is a more vicious way of revenge than directly taking his life.
"Xiao Yu, it must be your princess who asked you to kidnap me so that I can treat the prince of Qiang, otherwise, you should kill me with a knife in the Qinglou instead of just knocking me out."
"After Princess Zhiyi knew that you were Xu Qiangning's medicine, she was so angry, saying that you dared to point fingers at the dignified Prince Qiang with this, and even tried to be the princess of Qiang, we have been pampered since childhood, Princess Zhiyi, who has grown up with great love, naturally will not sit idly by." Xiao Yu said and doubled the dagger in front of Luo Xiaoxi, lifted her sleeve, and slashed her arm, "Don't worry, Princess Zhiyi, I haven't used it to the fullest, so naturally I won't tear my face so early, so ...... Your life is safe for the time being. ”
"Huh...... Xiao Yu, I was actually forced by Xu Qiangning, and I am also a poor person. ”
Xiao Yu watched Luo Xiaoxi's blood drip on the ground, then slowly bent down and picked up a wide-mouthed porcelain bottle, opened the cap and said while carrying the blood: "Luo Xiaoxi, if you say this, you will cry with Princess Zhiyi, maybe she will let you go if she is soft-hearted, but unfortunately, I won't let her come to see you." In Ruoqiang City, you are Xu Qiangning's personal servant, and when you come to Qiang Wangcheng, you become his favorite woman, if there is nothing between you, it is really unreasonable, die, I have not been stupid enough to let his Xu Qiangning's weakness go in vain. ”
Luo Xiaoxi saw her put the lid on it, picked up the things on the ground and turned around to leave, and hurriedly said, "Hey, Xiaoyu, don't go,...... If you don't let it go, you won't let it go, but you can also bandage me, or if I die of illness, you will ...... It's not good, it's not good. ”
When did she Luo Xiaoxi fall to the point where she had to ask a person with a knife to bandage a wound, it was really feng shui in turn, but fortunately, this Xiao Yu also knew her great use, so he reluctantly bandaged her wound. It was Xu Qiangning, the master who provoked the vicious peach blossom, when did he find out that she was tied up by Zhiyi.
In the Qiang Palace, Xu Qiangning, who only found that Luo Xiaoxi was missing, looked at Tingyu who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "Listen to the rain, didn't I say that you have to protect Xiaoxi anytime and anywhere?" I've only been away from the house for a while, and you've lost sight of people, it's really in vain...... Ahem"
Seeing this, Xizhou, who had just come back, immediately stepped forward to support Xu Qiangning, and after listening to the rain on the ground left, Xu Qiangning asked anxiously: "Is there any news of Xiaoxi?" ”
"Lord Wang, I only found out that the Xiaoxi girl went to the Qinglou dressed as a man, and then ...... There was no clue. ”
Xu Qiangning pushed Xizhou away while covering his heart, and said with a trembling mouth: "Check ...... Continue to check, and make sure that the creek is safe and sound. ”
She was alone, and as long as he didn't see her for a moment, she was in more danger. Previously, he had pushed her into danger, and at this moment, he would definitely not let her suffer a little more damage, even if it was painful, he had to ensure her safety first.
"But, you ...... lord"
"Don't talk nonsense...... Go for it."
At this time, Zhiyi came in with a food box, and when he saw Xu Qiangning covering his heart, he knew that it was his heart disease. She hurriedly opened the food box and took a bowl of medicine, scooped a spoonful with a spoon and handed it to Xu Qiangning's mouth, but was blocked by Xizhou, who had just helped Xu Qiangning to the couch, with his hand.
"Princess Zhiyi, no matter where you got the news. At this moment, you shouldn't make trouble for the prince, and ask the princess to go back to the Sifang Pavilion first. ”
"Xizhou, how could Brother Ning and I harm him?" Zhiyi took out a square towel and anxiously wiped the sweat on Xu Qiangning's face, then handed over the medicine and said: "Brother Ning, let me tell you the truth, this medicine has already added the woman's blood as a medicine, and your heart disease will only ...... after drinking it."
Xu Qiangning pushed away Zhiyi's hand, his lips trembled and said, "You grabbed the stream...... Where is Creek now? ”
"Brother Ning, I'll tell you when you drink it, otherwise you won't want to know where that Luo Xiaoxi is at the moment."
He screamed in pain, overturned the medicine bowl in her hand, and said word by word, "Where is she?" ”
Zhiyi looked at Xu Qiangning, who didn't take his mind seriously, and only thought that he was protecting Luo Xiaoxi and neglecting their friendship for many years, and asked with a chill in his heart: "Isn't she Brother Ning's medicine?" Brother Ning actually pushed me for her today, but my brother has been very anxious about me even bumping into me all these years, and now ......"
Xizhou, who has always been calm and self-controlled, was also anxious at the moment, and he immediately stepped forward to support Zhiyi and said: "Princess Zhiyi misunderstood, my lord's medicine is not the blood of Xiaoxi girl, but Xiaoxi girl herself. ”
"What? Xizhou, if you want to persuade me to let go of that woman for Brother Ning, just say directly, why make such a ridiculous joke. ”
"Xizhou will definitely not joke about the affairs of my prince, whether it is true or false, the princess will know it as soon as she tries it." Xizhou looked at Xu Qiangning, who was already shrunk into a ball of pain on the side, and said anxiously: "If the princess hesitates again, I'm afraid the prince will bite his tongue in pain." ”
Xizhou said this, Zhiyi had no choice but to compromise, looking at Xu Qiangning who was in a cold sweat on the ground, he couldn't care much more, flicked his sleeves and said: "Okay, but I have one thing, that is, I will only take Brother Ning alone, Xizhou, you have to stay in the Qiang Palace." ”
