Chapter Twenty-Seven: Good Intentions and Good Rewards
Summer night spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of my eyes, but I was inexplicably happy to be able to lie in 'An Hao's arms.
However, suddenly she was stopped by the waist and hugged her, and the princess's exclamation was heard in her ears.
"Lord Wang, don't tell your subordinates to stop! The princess is in our hands. The voice surnamed He roared hoarsely, and with a heavy gasp, it seemed that he was also almost at the end of his strength.
Xia Ye looked at her side a little weakly, and sure enough, she and the princess were captured and returned to the 'Falling Horse Pavilion'. He Di controlled them one by one, sitting on the stone bench, leaning against the stone table, panting incessantly, black blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth, he shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to wipe the blood away, his eyes staring deadly ahead.
"Stop!" King Min shouted loudly to stop his men.
Both sides stopped, each retreating to its own camp.
"Your Excellency, the king has already delivered five hundred taels of gold according to the agreement, and I ask you to keep your promise and return the princess." Although King Min was anxious, he still did not lose his elegant demeanor.
At this time, the surnamed He sneered and said: "Five hundred taels of gold for a hostage, and now there are two women in He's hands, Lord Wang, are you still sure to use these five hundred taels of gold in exchange for the princess?" So, this woman who just gave up her life to block a palm for you, is the prince going to abandon her? ”
As soon as he said this, King Min was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Xia Ye, Xia Ye knew in his heart that he had recognized himself. She raised her eyes to meet King Min's gaze, full of anticipation and a little scared, waiting for his decision.
Xia Ye didn't know what the intention of this surname was, but it was conceivable that this person was quite scheming, he could see the mystery from the subtleties, and only by flying to save King Min, at this time, he could throw such a difficult problem to King Min, so that he could get the biggest bargaining chips.
According to her observations, this surnamed He only wanted to take away the princess, if it weren't for Chai Laosan's horizontal insertion, they would have gone away a long time ago. But at this time, the two sides were almost evenly matched, and they were on the border of Wei, so he always lost both sides if he wanted to be tough, so he didn't want to tear his face.
Seeing that King Min's eyes fell on the princess at once, and then fell on his side, he knew that he must be undecided at this time.
"Well, has King Min made a decision?" The surname He was pressing step by step, and he naturally saw King Min's embarrassment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer.
King Min secretly bit his lip and said: "If this king orders someone to raise five hundred taels of gold, can your Excellency also release this girl, after all, this king is grateful to be rescued by her, and there is no way to repay her, only to give her freedom." ”
"Haha...... cough cough cough ......" The surname He seemed to have heard something funny, and was about to laugh, when suddenly a violent cough almost made him breathless.
Xia Ye knew in his heart that the poison that Chai Laosan had given him had begun to erode his body.
"Sir." His men immediately stepped forward to care.
The surnamed He waved his hand in some pain, slowly calming himself down.
"Give you a pillar of incense time, and the one you stay, I must take it away." The man surnamed He was impatient to bargain, but ordered someone to light a stick of incense.
"Lord, save me." The princess called out to King Min pitifully.
Xia Ye just looked at King Min quietly, in fact, her heart was sober, and the reason why King Min was entangled was only because he knew that she was the real Princess of the Nightless.
However, she still had some unrealistic expectation, hoping for a miracle - in case King Min really chose her summer night!
She thought that King Min would at least wait until the incense was almost burned to make a decision, but unexpectedly, before the incense was lit, he said, "Return the princess to this king." ”
Although Xia Ye had been mentally prepared, tears still flowed down her cheeks, and only she knew how sad King Min's decision was.
"No way!" Unexpectedly, the surname He actually repented on the spot.
King Min was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this exotic man just wanted to humiliate him and embarrass him. He couldn't figure out when he had offended such a person.
"Haha! Ha! ”
Suddenly, a person laughed very insolently, and everyone was surprised to follow the prestige and find that it was Chai Laosan, who was tied hand and foot, lying in the corner of the pavilion.
Hassan was right next to him, and at this time he couldn't help but kick him hard and scolded: "What are you laughing at? ”
"Hmph, if I were your master, of course I would have to laugh a few times." Chai Laosan didn't say it clearly, but it made people very curious.
King Min's expression immediately became a little nervous, and Xia Ye also heard the meaning of Chai Laosan's words, he wanted to hint that the surname He was more worthy of being caught than the princess.
"What do you mean by that?" Sure enough, the surnamed He was heartfelt, nodded at Hassan and said, "Bring him here." ”
At this time, the princess suddenly took advantage of the lack of attention, stood up suddenly, and ran desperately towards King Min without looking back, and his subordinates surnamed He immediately stepped forward to block, and King Min saw the opportunity at this time, waved the folding fan in his hand forward, and shot several darts from the fan, hitting the few big men who tried to block the princess.
These people had no choice but to dodge and dodge, King Min had already rushed forward, just when everyone thought he was going to pick up the princess, he came to Xia Ye's side unexpectedly, grabbed her arm, and was about to take her away.
King Min's move was really unexpected, and he almost let him succeed. However, the surnamed He reacted in time and immediately ordered someone to surround the two of them in the pavilion.
The two sides were at loggerheads for a while.
Suddenly, there was a passionate flute sound from a distance, which was very pleasant to the ear, and King Min couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
Soon, I saw a team of people suddenly running out of the official road and going straight to the 'Drop Horse Pavilion'.
When the first person has a white face like powder, his eyebrows and eyes are like paintings, male and female are indistinguishable, it is Lu Sihai of the 'Sword Shadow Villa', I saw him sitting on a horse, the jade flute held horizontally and played the music uncontrollably, the flute seemed to have the power to confuse people's minds, everyone was addicted to the music, and watched him lead people all the way over. It wasn't until I got closer that I suddenly realized.
When it was about to 'fall off the horse pavilion', Lu Sihai kicked the saddle with both feet, and the person stood on the horse's back, at this time the flute suddenly became sharp and piercing, and many people couldn't stand the sound and covered their ears with their hands, and at this moment, dozens of silver needles shot out of the flute, flying towards the surnamed He and his men.
This time he was caught off guard, and many people were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground screaming. The situation suddenly took a sharp turn, and the side surnamed He was immediately in a defensive position.
"Protect the master!" Someone shouted.
King Min wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pull Xia Ye outside the pavilion, because it was full of his subordinates, but at this time, Xia Ye was still angry about his decisive choice of the princess just now, although she also knew that it might be his expedient measure. Therefore, she was very awkward in her heart, and at last she simply threw her hand hard, ran quickly outside the pavilion, jumped on a horse, and ran up the hill without looking back.
After running for a while, she turned around, and found that no one had caught up, and she couldn't help but be a little inexplicably stunned, and suddenly she was upset, and spit out two mouthfuls of blood, only to find that the pain in her chest was terrible, and it seemed that the two palms surnamed He were not lightly injured, maybe she was too nervous just now, but she didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, and then she quieted down, and immediately felt that it hurt badly.
"Drive!" Summer Night put away her thoughts, cheered up and hit the horse forward, she wanted to run away, those people didn't catch up for the time being, it didn't mean that they would let her go later. Now that her body is so weak, she can't stand the toss anymore, so it's better to find a hidden cave to hide.
The sky slowly darkened as she ran, and Summer Night felt that her mind was a little foggy, and she had to let go of the reins and let the horse run on her own, and after running for a while, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground.
She passed out......
"That's it, what else to bury."
Xia Ye heard a man talking, and then she heard him sigh and say, "I really didn't expect that this girl would die like this, if it weren't for my mother-in-law going to Wenxiangyuan to ask her for money, then Boss Mo would still hide it." ”
Summer Night slowly opened her eyes, it was already dark, the moon was very bright, and she seemed to have fallen into a pit, and only human voices could be heard.
"You also said that you didn't accuse Boss Mo of a lot of money." Another, slightly younger man said.
"Hehe, then we have also made a lot of efforts, but don't forget the promised wine money." Another man's voice laughed and coaxed.
"Yes, you know, you are indispensable."
At this time, there was a beating sound from Ding Ding Dangdang, and suddenly a voice shouted in a sullen voice: "Don't nail, don't nail!" ”
"Oh,, it's a corpse!"
On a summer night, I heard a ghost crying wolf howling outside, and those people instantly ran away without a sound. Curious about what was going on outside, she climbed out of the pit with her support. When she came outside, by the moonlight, she found that there were many coffins and many graves here, which was clearly a mass grave. And the hole where he was lying just now should be the abandoned grave of a few people, and he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
Suddenly, there was a "bang bang" sound behind her, and she couldn't help screaming in fright, and she was about to run.
At this time, a voice shouted anxiously: "Help, help, I'm still alive, quickly open the coffin board." ”
When Xia Ye heard this, he suddenly stopped, and boldly asked, "Where are you?" ”
"I'm in a coffin." The voice answered her eagerly, and at the same time knocked the plank again with a "bang" sound.
Summer Night quickly found it, it was a new thin wooden coffin, the lid was not thick, but a few nails were hammered into it. She herself was almost suffocated to death in a coffin, so she was very sympathetic to the people inside. Without much thought, she picked up a large stone from the ground and directly chiseled a hole in the thin coffin wall, and a head immediately drilled out, and she couldn't stop gasping for air.
"Doctor Qu, why are you?" Under the moonlight, Old Man Qu's round white head was very abrupt, and Xia Ye recognized him at a glance.
"It's you!" However, Old Man Qu seemed to be even more surprised than the summer night, and he forgot to climb out of the coffin for a while.
Xia Ye hurriedly pulled him out, still puzzled, and asked him, "How did you get into this coffin?" ”
Old man Qu had calmed down at this time, he looked at Xia Ye and said, "The little old man can only tell you one thing, the body in this coffin is Cuigu's. ”
Summer Night froze suddenly, and suddenly threw herself on the coffin and smashed it with a stone desperately, trying to make a bigger hole.
Old man Qu came over and grabbed her and said, "Give her some dignity, the little old man has seen it, and it has rotted into a dry bone." It's better to bury her properly, and don't disturb her soul anymore. ”
Xia Ye couldn't help but stop moving, her eyes wanted to cry without tears, she remembered the conversation between the men just now, one of them must have regarded her as a burden and took her to make money again. If she had known, she would have broken his leg. But it was important to bury Cuigu now, she remembered the grave where she was hiding just now, so she and Old Man Qu pushed the coffin inside, and then covered it with soil.
After burying Aunt Cui, Old Man Qu was about to say goodbye to Xia Ye, but suddenly stared at her neck and said in surprise, "Have you eaten 'Fairy Bone Xueshu', why is your peach blossom scorpion venom so good?" ”
"What did you say?" As soon as he said this, he forgot that there was a difference between men and women, and immediately ripped off his collar and looked down at his chest, and found that those dazzling dense red blocks had indeed become sparse and light-colored, and he was so excited that he wanted to cry and laugh.
"No," Old Man Qu shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have gotten the 'Fairy Bone Xueshu', could it be that you were bitten by the 'Wumei'?" ”
"What is 'Ubi'?"
"A venomous snake, the most venomous snake in the world, its whole body is black and shiny, but there are faint red lines like flames between the skin."
Summer Night remembered that he and the silver-masked man were looking for a secret shaft in the cave under the Suolin Tower, and that he had been bitten by a snake on the neck.
"Could it be ......" She wasn't sure, but maybe she shouldn't have died, she really ran into the 'Umi', so she nodded to Dr. Qu.
"You are really fateful, 'Wumeiren' is the most poisonous snake in the world, fighting poison with poison, you have picked up a small life. Hehe, but the old man will not die tonight, thanks to you, otherwise, even if he escapes from Wenxiangyuan......" Suddenly he found that he had leaked his mouth, and immediately snorted haha, touched his body a little embarrassedly, took out a book from his arms, stuffed it into Xia Ye's hand and said: "This book is a record of the old man's half-life medical skills, the old man never likes to owe favors to others, and now he gives it to you, which is considered a clear two." ”
Summer Night is a palm-thick thread-bound book, with the words "Qu's Lonely Book" written on the cover. She felt that this gift was too precious, so she sincerely refused, but she didn't expect that the old man Qu was still a very tough person, and his old face was flushed under the moonlight, and he actually started a temper, and he had to accept it in the summer night.
At this time, the old man finally showed a smile, hugged her fist and said, "There will be a period later." ”
"The Divine Doctor stays!" Suddenly, a man staggered out of the shadows.
