Chapter Twenty-Three: Cornered
Shangguan peerless leaned lazily back on the wide chair, stretched out lazily, and continued casually: "By the way, there is also a rare snow beaver that is said to be able to cure all kinds of poisons, right?" β
Chu Liuyun's expression was complicated, and he scolded the man in front of him for being too treacherous. He recounted these treasures like a few treasures, not to praise him for his ability and vision.
Sure enoughβ
"Good things have to be shared with good friends, what do you say?"
The familiar feeling of a knife hitting his chest, Chu Liuyun gritted his teeth and smiled: "I didn't expect the prince to be far away in the capital, but the news is very well-informed!" β
"I don't have many friends in this world, and you are the only one who can make friends, so I naturally care about you very much." Shangguan looked at him with a peerless smile.
"It's really my pleasure!" Chu Liuyun burst out insincere words from between his teeth. If there is one in the world who will enjoy the most benefits of the fisherman, he will admit the second, and no one will dare to admit the first.
The smile marks on Shangguan's peerless lips expanded, and the brilliant smile was even more eye-catching than the purple and red outside. This smile can simply fascinate thousands of girls and be willing to sink. But Chu Liuyun gritted his teeth and commented on him with only two words: shameless!
Regret it! He regrets it! Knowing that Shangguan was cautious, he couldn't control his curious gossip and schadenfreude heart as soon as he saw him frustrated. Looking at his jokes, he is simply digging a hole for himself, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Shangguan peerless stared at his expression of remorse and sadness, and his mood was finally a little better. He said, "Then I'll send someone to Lord Chu's mansion to get it." β
"You exploiter who eats human flesh and doesn't spit out bones!" Chu Liuyun scolded hatefully.
"Passing the prize." Shangguan accepted it generously.
"I'm really careless in making friends, and one misstep becomes a thousand hatreds!" Chu Liuyun looked up to the sky and sighed, cursing unwillingly: "All things are mutually restrictive, you won't always have the upper hand." Just wait, God will send someone to collect you. β
"I'll see."
"I wish you were planted in a woman's hands one day!" If an arrogant and conceited man like him is planted in the hands of a woman, it must feel like a wreck.
"Tsk, this curse is too poisonous." Shangguan peerless said it, but he smiled evilly, and he didn't care.
Chu Liuyun glared at his handsome and innocent face, which made people love and hate. I don't know what kind of woman can control a man like him? The face of the woman who behaved abnormally suddenly appeared in my mind, and when I looked at him again, I suddenly laughed.
That weird smile made Shangguan tremble for no reason: "Why are you smiling so insidiously?" β
"Nothing." Chu Liuyun smiled: "I just have a hunch, my prediction will come true soon." β
Shangguan peerless glanced at him angrily. He is pretending to be a god and playing tricks on people's minds.
"By the way, what are you going to do with Feng Qingge who escaped?"
He heard about the events of last night, although the two sides agreed first. But according to Shangguan's cunning, shameless and despicable nature, he would never believe that Shangguan would give up.
Shangguan's peerless eyes sank slightly, and then he hooked his lips and smiled: "It won't be long before she begs to come back." β
That confident and confident look really makes people wonder if he is planning an unknown conspiracy behind his back.
Chu Liuyun was immediately aroused by him: "Have you arranged everything?" β
Shangguan Jueshi said: "I didn't do anything. Since they promised to let them leave, it is not a gentleman's act to go back on their word. β
"It's too out of character to say that from your mouth." Chu Liuyun complained that he didn't give face.
The notorious Nine Princes can be called gentlemen, and there are no ruffians in this world.
Shangguan said disapprerovingly: "There is a kind of hatred, which is called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. There is more than one person who wants her life, without the Feng family, the emperor is the backer, and she is now like a small and fragile ant. β
Chu Liuyun thought about it, it was indeed this principle. But......
"And who was the man in black last night? I can save people from your hands, but it's also hidden. β
At the mention of this person, Shangguan's peerless face was rarely serious. However, in the next second, he regained his indifferent expression and said arrogantly: "No matter who it is, she will still choose me in the end." β
Because, now the only person who can protect her is his peerless. Under his protection, even if she is the son of heaven, she does not dare to touch her in the slightest.
Chu Liuyun also looked forward to it.
It seems that the play is about to begin. The prince made a move, and this scene was more interesting.
Shangguan peerless looked at his excited expression and guessed what he was thinking. He spoke: "This time, I'll be six and you'll be four." β
Chu Liuyun glared at him, and his voice of protest was diametrically opposed to his elegant and handsome image, which was very funny: "You want my life!" Don't play like this! I'm gambling half of my net worth. You've scraped away all the rare treasures I've worked so hard to collect, and you're going to swallow even this little money? β
Shangguan Jue raised his eyebrows lightly, and snorted coldly: "Without my participation, can you win money?" β
This...... Indeed, this play, directed and acted by the Nine Princes, is a sure win.
"But...... You haven't paid a penny, why do you have a large share? β
Someone raised his chin very arrogantly and said arrogantly: "What is the identity of this king, you only watch the play and don't make any efforts, no matter how much you get for this acting fee, it is only a little." β
Chu Liuyun's teeth rattled, his fists clenched so that his knuckles turned white, his eyes showed a fierce light, his face was hideous, and he couldn't wait to pick up Mo Yan on the desk and smash his face.
He smiled hatefully, and said coolly: "Since the prince wants to play, how can I stop it." I just hope that the prince will not play with fire and self-immolation! β
ββββββββββββ
Ah Jiu stayed in Shuiyue Nunnery for two days. This tranquil and tranquil environment seems to be isolated from the rest of the world, and the heart is calmed.
She is still unaware of the changes in the outside world. is still confused about his life experience.
In those two days, the man in black was never seen again. Mrs. Shi took good care of her three meals a day, but never said a word of nonsense to her. It was as if she would be tortured by her if she stayed a little longer.
I wonder if the man in black is the mysterious person of that night? He said he was going to take her to a place where she was given a new lease on life, and what would it be?
Forget it, no matter where you go, it's good to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
She is not a greenhouse flower, with her ability to survive, she is afraid that she will not be able to mix in this ancient world?
I don't know if these rivers and lakes are as free and heroic and colorful as on TV?
Ah Jiu couldn't help but have some hope for the future.
However, God likes to give her a slap in the face when she has a little fighting spirit.
ββββββββββββββββ
Late at night, everything is silent.
The wind whistled and rustled the leaves. The branches swayed wildly, reflected on the window paper, and looked like a sprite in the dark night.
Ah Jiu slept restlessly.
Suddenly, a pungent smell of smoke woke her up from her sleep.
But her head was still groggy, and she just lazily lifted a sleepy eye to look out the door. At this look, she was awakened by fright.
She hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door, only to see that several of the rooms were on fire, and the dark night was instantly dyed red.
She hurried to the place where the incident occurred, but as soon as she reached the corridor, she saw the master who was taking care of her hurrying towards her.
"Master, what's going on? Why did the front catch fire? β
I saw Mrs. Shi said to her with a panicked face: "Niangniang, run away, someone is going to kill you." β
"What?" Ah Jiu was shocked: "Who wants to kill me?" Why kill me? β
"Don't ask so much. Those killers have already started to kill, come with me, and I will take you out of the secret passage. β
Ah Jiu was stunned. But after only a few seconds, he immediately came back to his senses.
This is not the time to get to the bottom of it!
However, those killers seem to have come a lot, surrounding them on all sides, killing them all the way.
They are cruel, cold-blooded, and kill anyone they see.
They fled to the Buddha Hall, and as soon as Mrs. Shi unscrewed the mechanism, several killers rushed in.
"Mother, let's go-"
"Mrs. Shi!" Ah Jiu shouted.
Shitai pushed her into the secret passage, and then used her body to block them desperately.
The stone slab of the secret passage slowly closed, and Shitai's blood-covered figure gradually disappeared in front of her eyes.
This is the second time! The last time Linglong died in front of her, this time it was Shi Tai......
They all died because of her!
She could still faintly hear the screams outside.
The tranquil and peaceful Suigetsu Nunnery became a purgatory on earth in an instant.
The wind howled, fueling the fire.
The fiery red renders the night, and the air that should be fresh at night is filled with the smell of burnt and blood......
Ah Jiu clenched his fists fiercely, and in the dark secret passage, his heart felt like he had fallen into an endless dark abyss, unable to tell whether it was fear, coldness, anger or despair.
In the past, she worked hard for others, and when she used it, she greeted her with a smile and asked for warmth. When you don't need it, kick it aside and fend for yourself.
I've never experienced anything like it. Someone cried for her, cried for her, died for her. For a moment, panic was at a loss.
If Linglong's death made her feel sad, regretful, and unworthy. And the destruction of the Suigetsu Nunnery because of her tragedy, that is shock.
It's just that Pingshui meets, why would Mrs. Shi take advantage of the character of everyone in the entire Shuiyue Nunnery to protect her?
I can't understand that she has lost her family, fallen out of favor, and what else can threaten others? Why do you want to kill her?
Calm as she is, Rao is used to seeing life and death, but in the face of such bloody and cruel killing, she can no longer be calm. At the moment, his brain is blank, and there is no way to deal with it.
The tip of the nose is a little sour, and the throat is uncomfortable. I really want to cry, I want to scream loudly to vent the bitterness in my heart.
Looking back on the past few days, I have not shed a single tear for myself after suffering and suffering.
The corners of his mouth tasted a salty taste. Ah Jiu was stunned, and his cold fingers wiped away the wetness at the corners of his mouth. In a trance, she actually ...... Really cried.
My father-in-law said that tears are the weakest and useless thing, and the strong do not need tears. She has become accustomed to swallowing the trials and tribulations of life and blood into her stomach, I don't know how long...... Didn't cry anymore.
Ah Jiu squatted in the dark secret passage, biting his lip flap deadly. The rage burned her sanity to the ground.
But she forced herself to calm down. She is weak, and she only has to die when she goes out. Didn't the person who sent her die died too unjustly!
The terrible screaming outside has stopped. I vaguely heard someone say: "You stay to clean up the scene, and you can't leave a single living mouth." The others followed me elsewhere to see if there were any other entrances, and we couldn't let that woman escape again!" β
This secret passage is very well designed. Once activated, the external mechanism will fail. The killers wandered outside but never entered, so they had to find another way.
Ah Jiu wiped his face, clenched his fists, and in the dark, his clear eyes were full of bloodthirsty coldness. She gritted her teeth and swore: She will definitely recover this blood debt!
ββββββ
The night wind was fierce, and the cold wind hit the face, like a thin blade piercing the cheek. Dark clouds gathered at the top, pushing the night even lower, as if the sky was about to fall.
It seems to herald a hurricane that is coming.
Wild forests, birds of prey in the sky. Among the messy grass, there are unknown creatures swimming dangerously in it, making strange and terrifying sounds.
The slender figure ran wildly in the darkness, leaving a bloody smell along the way, drawing the creatures around it to move.
However, the sound of relentless chasing footsteps behind him frightened the creatures hidden in the shadows and retreated.
Ah Jiuwan never expected that as soon as he came out of the secret passage, he hadn't escaped far before he was discovered by several killers who were ambushed in the back mountain.
The man who wanted to take her life really looked up to her. There are so many killers to deal with her alone! I guess it surrounded the whole mountain!
I had a trick with those killers just now, and she was ruthless, and she had many colors on her body.
It was probably that Feng Qingge was just a weak woman with no power in their eyes, so they took it lightly. When they thought she was going to die, she showed her skills and fought to the death, and finally escaped death.
At this time, Ah Jiu was exhausted. Even if you don't get hacked to death by the killer, you will die of excessive blood loss.
Her face grew paler and her steps became heavier and heavier, like a ghost in the night, and she was terrible. The killer behind him was getting closer and closer, but in front of him, he came to a river bank with a strong current.
Oops!
"Look where you're going!"
