Chapter Twenty-Seven: Time is Running Out
The warm water wrapped Li Cong surged from all directions, and it was topless in an instant. After an exclamation, Su Qiang, who was originally standing on the platform to rub for him, also fell into the water with a pop.
There was no call for help, no struggle, he only felt that with Su Qiang falling into the water, her whole person did not try to stand up, but followed the strength of his arm, and the whole person pressed towards him.
It turned out that she was playing this abacus.
The tub is large enough.
Now that the two of them are in place, there is still enough room to show their fists.
The tub is a bit small.
As small as he turned over, he could press Su Qiang under him.
He held his breath as she held the wall of the bucket with one hand and struck him with a fist in the other, so fast that he didn't have time to dodge.
There was a muffled thud, and a sharp pain spread through his chest. If he had taken a breath in tension at this time, he would have choked to death in the bath water.
Li Cong stubbornly endured the punch, and at the same time, grabbed her fist.
How could a soft and weak fist have such a strong force. Shot out of the water, it is said that half of the force has been removed by the water blockage, but it is still so difficult to resist. If he was outside, if he couldn't avoid this punch, he was afraid that he would vomit blood on the spot.
Although Taifu's kung fu is only for self-defense, it is effective at this time. Su Qiang didn't dodge Li Cong's pull, Li Cong turned over in the water and suppressed her.
He could feel her soft waist and long legs wrapped in her dress, and whoever couldn't hold her breath would lose first.
But this kind of restraint was only for a moment, and the next moment, Su Qiang slid away as quickly as a fish, and Li Cong didn't even know how she got rid of her grasp. She floated upward, apparently ventilating.
Can't let her out!
Li Cong reached out and grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back just above her head as she was barely above the water.
In the tense confrontation, Su Qiang turned around and looked at Li Cong.
The warm water wrapped around their bodies, and in the spicy fragrance of the herbs filling their mouths and noses, Li Cong shuddered and let go of his hand.
Her gaze.
That's certainly not the kind of gaze that a lady would have, but it's not the gaze that an assassin would have.
The eyes of the ladies are gentle and restrained, and the eyes of the assassins are cold and indifferent.
In Su Qiang's eyes, there is the tenacity to sacrifice herself to eliminate evil and the self-confidence to defy hardships and dangers.
In this gaze, it seemed as if another spirit swooped out of her body, grabbing his throat with one hand. The power of this soul made him unable to move, and his whole body was almost paralyzed. What was even more confusing was that the spirit filled his limbs with a smell of déjà vu.
This déjà vu but seems to have a lot of fetters, who is it?
There was a pop of light all around, and they came out of the tub at the same time.
After the wheezing and the sound of water, there was a frightened knock on the door.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Your Highness, are you alright......" was the nervous voice of the guards and chamberlains. For more than a decade, Li Cong has never acted alone. There are so many people who want to kill him that even the crown princess, they will not be at ease.
But they can't come in without permission.
Obviously, the sound of falling water and fighting caused panic among the people outside the door.
Su Qiang showed her head opposite Li Cong. Her clothes were soaked, her sideburns were scattered, and her clean face shimmered slightly under the water.
In just an instant, she had covered her mouth with her hands, and tears seemed to well-up in her eyes.
"Your Highness, are you alright? Why did the concubine accidentally fall in? With a frightened fear and a false alarm, there was no falsification in her voice.
It seems that I don't want to admit it.
Li Cong raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and said to the door: "Get out!" ”
There was silence outside, and no one dared to inquire anymore.
The steaming mist seemed to separate them into two worlds, and the water in the bath barrel flowed, and Li Cong moved slightly.
He could feel the tension of the person opposite for a moment.
Like a raccoon cat who has figured out the hole cards of the little mouse in a cat and mouse game, Li Cong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and leaned towards Su Qiang with the mist removed.
"Scared?" There was some concern in his voice, his eyes staring at the curve of her shoulders and neck that was exposed by the wet clothes, and then inch by inch, looking down.
Although it is a layer of complicated spring clothes, the silk is afraid of water, and now it is almost a wisp of it, and it is even a little transparent.
Su Qiang's nervousness could no longer be hidden.
In the end, it is a girl who dares to kill, but she is wary of men and women.
"I'm afraid that Your Highness will drown." Her voice trembled, her eyelashes flickered, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked a little innocent and cute. "Why did His Highness slip down and startle the concubine."
Not to mention the punch she threw at herself in the water.
"The walls of the barrel are too smooth, which frightens the crown princess." Li Cong smiled faintly. They were already very close, and a white mist enveloped the two of them, and their breath was ambiguous.
Su Qiang's smile was tinged with a hint of detachment, she leaned against the wall of the barrel, but she didn't relax at all. Li Cong could imagine that if he was distracted at this time, he might be counterattacked by Su Qiang.
Dying in the water is the medicinal soup he has been fumigating day by day over the years, which seems to be a good ending.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, the concubine's clothes are wet, so let's go and change them." As she spoke, she was about to stand up.
"No," Li Cong had already reached out and grabbed her arm, bringing her back into the water. "Wouldn't it be better to take it off in the water and wash it well?"
The smile on Su Qiang's face stiffened for a moment, struggled slightly, and then said, "How can the concubine stain His Highness's medicinal soup." ”
"How can you say it's dirty?" Li Cong bullied the whole person, stretched out his arm and encircled Su Qiang in the bathtub.
"Hongu likes this kind of soup bath with a woman's scent." With a shameless glint in his eyes, he closed his eyes and gently sniffed the moisture, then opened his eyes again and stared at Su Qiang's gradually hot cheeks.
This dead pervert.
Su Qiang scolded fiercely in her heart. Unexpectedly, she had just started to be pulled into the bath by him. I didn't expect that although he was thin and weak, he could stop himself from punching.
Now he has been wary, it is impossible to pull him into the water and drown, but if a knife stuns him, can it also make the illusion of drowning?
Well, she needed to go around behind him.
"Since His Highness doesn't mind, then the concubine will continue to help His Highness press it. His Royal Highness often bowed to the desk, and the concubines pressed His Highness's shoulders. As she spoke, she pushed the wall of the bucket and walked behind Li Cong.
"Okay." Li Cong said lightly: "But there is not enough time." ”
"What's not enough time?" Su Qiang's body froze in place.
"You don't have enough time......" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Su Qiang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and then the whole person quickly slid into the water......
