Chapter 65: Night Terror
The voices around him gradually became scarcer, Qi Shu counted the time, and estimated that he would almost return to the mansion in a while, looking at his swollen fingers, his face couldn't help but smile wryly, what is this called today.
If you go back, you will be scolded if you meet your father, and if you meet your mother, you will be read to death, alas, if only no one met you, so quietly return to your Wanran Garden.
"Miss, are your fingers alright?" Green orange asked worriedly, how could he play the piano and hurt his fingers so badly? It's like a dumpling, and if the master blames them when they go back, they will also suffer.
"It's fine, just a small wound, and it healed quickly." Qi Shu comfortingly patted the green orange on his right hand and said comfortingly.
"That's good."
Mo Zhu didn't say a word, lowered his head silently, and seemed to be distracted.
Before anyone in the trio could speak again, there was a slight noise outside the carriage, and the carriage suddenly stopped.
Qi Shu was shocked, and just wanted to open the curtain to see, but someone suddenly stepped on the carriage, and a strange feeling spread around, but Qi Shu didn't know what to do, and the terrifying feeling made her head blank. The sweat on his forehead also slipped down drippingly.
"Don't come out!" Is it Wan Ting's voice?!
Qi Shu stood up directly and wanted to rush outside, but Mo Zhu beside him stopped him, dragged Qi Shu to sit in his position, and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't go out, it's dangerous!" ”
The green orange also dragged Qi Shu's arm in a panic, not daring to make any more movements, the three of them clinged to the inner wall of the carriage, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, their hearts seemed to have stopped beating, and the sound of breathing was in their ears, and no one dared to make any extra movements.
There seems to be some sound outside, but it's very small, you can't hear it through the carriage, you can't hear anything, Zhao Huanting hasn't made a sound since she shouted that sentence, she is also a woman, although she brought a lot of attendants, but, what's going on outside?
After thinking about it, Qi Shu decided to go out and have a look, so that he wouldn't do nothing.
Seeing the right time, Qi Shu rushed out directly, and Mo Zhu and Green Tang hurriedly chased after him.
After getting out of the carriage, Qi Shu stumbled and fell to the position where the coachman was sitting, the pain in her hands and knees made her tears can't help but burst into tears, and when she raised her head and was about to shout Wan Ting, she found that there was a person standing not far in front of her, the veil covering her face had fallen off, her long hair was flying, her dark robe blended with the night, and when she turned her head to look at Qi Shu, her eyes were slightly stunned, and the long sword in her hand unconsciously shrank back.
"Are you alright?" Qi Shu almost shouted, was set up by green orange and ink bamboo, and rushed towards Zhao Huanting after getting out of the carriage. Out of instinct, Qi Shu grabbed his clothes tightly and looked her up and down to see if she was hurt.
Zhao Huanting subconsciously grabbed her shoulder and signaled her to calm down, he had nothing to do, after solving the remnants, Zhao Huanting's guards also rushed over and carefully took the long sword in Zhao Huanting's hand.
"I'm fine, what about you? Didn't you just tell you not to come out in the carriage? What are you doing out there! Zhao Huanting blamed dissatisfiedly, she came out to cause trouble for them, but fortunately, he prepared manpower in advance, guessed that someone might be ambushed, and deliberately delayed the plan.
"You're a woman, why aren't you afraid?" Qi Shu was afraid of death in his heart, especially when he saw the lifeless people lying on the ground, he felt that his legs were weak.
"I'm not afraid. It's fine if you're okay. Zhao Huanting couldn't help but touch her hair, it felt very good, and there was a faint aroma on her body, which smelled very good.
"Let's go, let's go back, you can stay in my house for one night tonight." Qi Shu wiped the tears on his face and said resolutely.
There was some surprise that Qi Shu would say such a thing, but Zhao Huanting still nodded with a smile, since she was willing.
The rest of the matter was handed over to Zhao Huanting's attendants to deal with, Qi Shu didn't ask why Huanting would go out with so many guards, and most of the people lying on the ground were people who came to attack them, they stayed where they were and sent people to report to the officers and soldiers to wait for the officers and soldiers to deal with it, and the others went back to Qi Mansion first to suppress the shock.
Zhao Huanting had already washed his identity in Shaoliang, he was originally a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and he came to Shaoliang to do business, and the attendants he received were also personal guards collected from all over the dart, and there was no problem in lying down and checking.
So Zhao Huanting can also go with Qi Shu with peace of mind.
Looking at Qi Shu's hand holding his arm tightly, Zhao Huanting was a little in a trance, when he solved the last person just now, he didn't expect Qi Shu to rush out of the carriage.
Fortunately, this time the other party was too light on the enemy, and only five people came. Otherwise, if you add a few more, you may not be able to fight, and then it will be troublesome, looking at the other party's movements, it seems that you want to do Qi Shu silently, if he is not there tonight, Qi Shu will definitely die.
If according to his judgment.
She fell in front of the carriage and raised her head, looking anxiously at Zhao Huanting's eyes, it was really mixed. As a descendant of the royal family of Zhao State, he has seen all kinds of people, encountered all kinds of things, people are selfish, people's hearts cannot stand the test, especially in complex and extreme environments, it is even more ruthless.
Zhao Huanting really didn't expect Qi Shu to hold back his fear, and to hold back the unknown fear of the movement outside the carriage and come out to look for him, although he had a purpose and had to save her, if the two of them were really strangers, Zhao Huanting might not care about this matter.
Even if she died in front of him like this.
Fortunately, they met.
Qi Shu and Zhao Huanting took a carriage together, and rushed back to Qi Mansion in a hurry, the lights at the gate of Qi Mansion were waiting for Qi Shu to return, Qi Shu got off the car first and then asked the little girl, but his father and mother fell asleep first, and got the news that they had fallen asleep.
Biting her lip, she turned to Zhao Huanting who got out of the carriage and said, If you don't mind, you can go to my yard with me to rest first, there is still a vacant room, and it is not too early to alarm your parents.
Zhao Huanting couldn't ask for it, and nodded obediently.
Qi Shu's fingers didn't dare to pinch because of the wound, she only felt that what she had encountered today was terrifying, her heart was aching, her ears were roaring, and the whole person was already extremely tired, but the terrible thing that happened around her just now made her feel very frightened.
"Shall I share a room with you?" Zhao Huanting said on a whim.
Green orange and Mo Zhu walked with lanterns in front, Qi Shu and Zhao Huanting held hands with each other and walked together, hearing Huanting's words, thinking of the other party sacrificing their lives to protect her, and being a woman who looked weaker than her, Qi Shu felt even more sorry, thinking that she might also be scared to sleep alone, after thinking about it, Qi Shu nodded and agreed.
Mo Zhu's footsteps were a little hesitant, as we all know, the princess has never slept with anyone, she has always slept alone, once upon a time she was able to propose to sleep with others?
"Go back to Mozhu, you go get two more futons to spread out." Qi Shu instructed.
The four of them quickly returned to Wanran Garden, Qi Shu asked Mo Zhu to lead Wan Ting to take a bath, and she herself went back to the room to tidy up first, and another woman was about to come over to rest with her, which felt a little unnatural.
Mo Zhu is naturally used to serving Zhao Huanting.
led Zhao Huanting to the bathroom and took out new utensils for her.
Watching Zhao Huanting sit on the edge of the bath and take off her dark clothes and put them next to her, the rusty red color smeared after a while.
"Gong ......" Before Mo Zhu could speak, he was frightened by Zhao Huanting's sudden glance, and quickly changed his words: "Miss is injured?" ”
"No, I didn't." He was stained with other people's blood.
"I'll leave the utensils here for you, and Miss's room is just across from the bathroom." With that, Mo Zhu stood up and cautiously exited the room.
Seeing that there was no one around, after holding her breath and listening for a while, Zhao Huanting untied more underwear and then freshened up.
Mo Zhu brought her a set of moon-white robes, which looked very new, and she should not have worn them.
Zhao Huanting took the robe in her hand and played with it for a while, and only after estimating that the time was almost up did she get up from the edge of the bath, put on the robe and walked out.
Opposite the bathroom is Qi Shu's room, I really didn't expect today's luck to be good, hugging the beauty.
Qi Shu simply tidied up the room, and then sat down beside his bed in a daze, stroking his pounding heart with one hand, thinking about what had just happened.
I have to say that I was still shocked into a cold sweat, and I really didn't expect this to be the result, I was actually saved by another woman, thinking about it carefully, it seems that when she got out of the carriage and rushed to Zhao Huanting's side, she seemed to have a long sword in her hand? Was it her delusion?
At this time, there was a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk", which interrupted Qi Shu's thoughts, it should be Wan Ting coming.
When she opened the door, it was really her standing outside, dressed in moon-white robes, there was no moon tonight, and it was dark outside.
Forced out a smile to welcome the person in, and the green orange happened to also carry a new futon over.
"I'll go wash up first, green orange, you make the bed well, and then put the kettle tea in after you're done, you know?" After instructing the green orange, Qi Shu also went to the bathroom to wash.
After she left, Zhao Huanting showed a successful smile behind her back, and the beauty invited to share the bed, which is naturally the best, who let him just say it so casually, Qi Shu took it seriously? If she knew that she was inviting a man in the future, she didn't know how she would feel. Thinking about Zhao Huanting, I want to laugh in my heart.
Green orange looked at Zhao Huanting strangely, thinking to herself, why did this woman have so many veils? Isn't that one stained? This is, another one?
Ignoring the strange look in the green orange looking at her, Zhao Huanting waited for Qi Shu to come back from the bath, and then washed up and went to bed.
Listening to the young lady's words, the green orange went out to prepare a kettle of tea after laying out the futon, and it seemed that being busy could make them forget for a while that almost scared them out tonight, no, she would also sleep with Mozhu tonight.
Qi Shu, who was sitting on the edge of the bath, wiped his wet hair with a clean cloth and couldn't help but exhale.
It was only at this time that Qi Shu could calm down and think about who was trying to disadvantage her tonight. At first, I didn't have no doubts, but why? She didn't realize that she had offended someone to the point of sending someone to do it.
Of course, she also doubted that the subtle movements outside they didn't see would be directed and acted by this Huanting, but when she walked to Huanting's side, her intuition told her that it was definitely not her, and the person lying on the ground should indeed be killed, is there anything worth remembering about her?
So, who is it exactly? Who will it be?
It wasn't until he felt a little cold at his feet that Qi Shu stood up from the edge of the pool, took a deep breath and prepared to go back to his room to rest. Thinking that there was someone waiting for her in the room, she was inexplicably a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Huanting hid in the futon outside in advance, revealing her phoenix eyes and staring at the door, waiting for Qi Shu to come back.
But after waiting for a long time and there was no movement, Zhao Huanting was a little anxious when she waited, thinking about whether she wanted to go over and have a look.
Just when he couldn't help but get up, Qi Shu pushed the door and came in, wearing a loose dress, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and his hair was wet.
Zhao Huanting's sharp eyes found that Qi Shu's hands were wet!
Immediately, he sat up and said angrily: "Didn't the doctor say that you can't get wet?" What's the matter with your maid? ”
Qi Shu glanced at the cheapest blankly, and only then did he realize what she meant, and smirked embarrassedly: "I forgot." ”
"Silly melon!" Zhao Huanting scolded.
Pouting, not wanting to argue with her, she was tired.
