Chapter Seventy-One: Master and Servant
When Cao Zhijin woke up, it was already dusk.
His knife hit so hard! To this day, she still felt that half of her body was sore and numb, and she was not very flexible, as if half of the furniture had been broken, and when she turned it slightly, the skeleton made a slight noise.
It took a lot of effort for her to get out of bed.
She was in a room, small but well furnished, with a dining table, dresser and bed, and a beautiful old wooden screen.
There are no windows, the door is papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and through the bright light, you can see the figures passing by the door one after another. - The commotion outside the door was not a sharp noise, but a lively shout.
She figured she should be in an inn by now.
Did she get to town?
When I looked around, I didn't see the shadow of the man in black.
As soon as she came to this judgment, she saw a black robe suddenly thrown from behind the screen, and the garment was gently lifted in the air and hung in half on the screen.
"Awake?" The familiar nasty voice burrowed into her ears, and Cao Zhijin opened her mouth and found that she couldn't make a sound!
"You slept for a day and a night." A sound comes out behind the screen.
One day and one night!
That's the prime minister......
Cao Zhijin didn't know where the strength came from, so he jumped off the bed and ran quickly towards the door.
A shiny dagger "dang" sounded, not crooked or slanted, just standing in the center of her right thumb and index finger holding the door!
She believed that if he wanted to, the dagger would hit her right in the spot!
"Little girl, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Although he was laughing, Cao Zhijin could detect it, and his anger was obvious!
But it's come to this kind of time, Cao Zhijin is not afraid of him!
She pulled the dagger out of the door with all her might, and threw it towards the screen.
She doesn't know martial arts, so even if she throws it so hard, it's as lethal as throwing a piece of paper.
The dagger spun around in the air a few times, but before it could reach the screen, it fell to the ground with a "bang".
Seeing her like this, the person behind the screen changed to his usual schadenfreude tone and said, "Do you want to say that if Chen Fan dies, you won't live either?"
Cao Zhijin knocked on the door and said that this was it!
The man behind the screen laughed and said, "Since you plan to do so, then you can now pick up the dagger on the ground and commit suicide." Because Chen Fansheng is dead! β
His voice pierced her heart like a sharp icicle!
She felt that it was dark, and after a brief moment of unconsciousness, she slid to the ground, her eyes just touching the dagger lying quietly on the ground.
Without hesitation, she crawled over, picked up the dagger, and stabbed it at her heart!
"Dang!"
The sound of sharp weapons colliding sounded in the air.
The person behind the screen knocked off the dagger in her hand with a hidden weapon, and said with a smile: "How do you know that what I said is true?"
When Cao Zhijin heard his words, hope rekindled in her eyes, but she forgot that he was the ruthless man in black, the man in black who liked to take other people's pain as an anecdote!
"Chen Fansheng is indeed dead, but don't you want to know where Chen Fansheng's body is?"
Cao Zhijin felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his hands were pressed tightly against his chest, only to feel a cramping pain in his chest!
"Poof!"
A fishy sweetness surged up her throat, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground, unable to move for half a minute!
"Why can't you withstand the blow so much?" He scoffed, "Actually, didn't you already know the result? People who have never provoked King Chen may die when they encounter King Chen, let alone someone like Chen Fansheng who is targeted by King Chen......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a knock on the door.
"The guest officer was disturbed, and a guest just passed by here and said it was ...... Say there's a dagger stuck in the door! β
The man in black smiled easily: "That's my young lady's masterpiece, the eldest lady has a temper, it's not easy to mess with!"
"Oh, I see!" The person outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just a hole in this door......"
"Well, my young lady will pay for it!"
"Okay, okay, that little one won't bother Miss's Yaxing!"
"Save me......" Cao Zhijin looked at the door and made a weak voice.
The people outside the door seemed to hear something, and their whole bodies tensed! - This eldest lady is really not easy to mess with! Listening to this situation, I'm afraid it's already a waste!
He opened a shop, not a chivalrous man, so he didn't have this file to take care of this file, and immediately turned around and smeared oil on the soles of his feet!
"You can talk!"
It's true!
Cao Zhijin looked at the piercing red on the ground, it turned out that she spit out a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat!
Then what he just said, was it just to anger her?
"I just said that Chen Fan died and died, it's true!" As if guessing what she was thinking, he said lightly.
Cao Zhijin knew that he was used to stabbing other people's wounds, and he didn't want to worry about this mending knife anymore! - Big deal, after she saved him, she killed him again! Die, die, die!
"Get up, I'm counting on you to save my life!" He stepped out from behind the screen and helped her to the edge of the bed and sat down.
He sat down on it himself.
He turned Cao Zhijin around, sat upright, and put his palms on Cao Zhijin's back.
A warm stream of air flowed from her back to her limbs, and she suddenly felt full of strength, and even the pain in her throat was mostly relieved!
She reacted, he was losing internal strength to her!
"You're crazy! You've been poisoned in the first place, and this will only hasten the onset of poison! β
"If you move, you don't need me to have a full-blown poison attack, and the two of us will go to Hades together now!" He said with the same ease.
I don't know why, at this moment, she seemed to be no longer disgusted by his tone of speech, but a little moved.
She heard Xianggong say that there is a type of person who always hides his sadness with happiness, and maybe the man in black is this kind of person!
When he withdrew his hand, almost defenseless, he spat a mouthful of blood onto Cao Zhijin's clothes.
"I'm sorry!" Subconsciously, he said this.
Cao Zhijin knew that she really didn't know the person behind her at all!
She turned around and looked at the face in front of her, she almost didn't recognize that this was the man in black who was haunted and hidden in the darkness and held human life in her mind!
He took off his mask!
His heroic face has delicate facial features, and because he wears a mask, he has white and red skin that many women envy to the point of madness!
Cao Zhijin noticed that he had changed into a white dress.
This outfit makes him look particularly dazzling, like a son of a noble family, and like a freewheeling swordsman wandering the world!
"You ......"
"What, stunned?"
His mocking tone brought Cao Zhijin back to his senses.
She was wrong just now, and this tone is still very annoying no matter how you listen to it!
