Chapter 124: Re-entry into the Tiger's Den (2)
Xia Xiying seemed to be completely unconscious, her pupils dilated, numb and emotionless.
"Xia Xiying?" I shouted, but she was still staring blankly ahead, and in front of this was the jade bed where the red-clothed beauty was lying.
"Hey!" I had regained sensation in my legs, and although my hands were tied behind my back, my feet could move. So, he walked up to him without fear of death. "We have no grievances and no enemies, so why bother each other? We might as well make a deal, you let us go, give me the antidote, and I can fulfill one of your conditions. ”
After a long time, he got up lazily from the couch, his long hair pouring down his back.
He got closer and closer, and I pretended to be calm but had to step back.
But I know that at this moment, the momentum must not be soft.
It wasn't until he leaned against the stone wall that he couldn't retreat, and he stopped his pace.
The color of his pupils was slightly purple, and there was a sense of exoticism, but when he looked at it again, the purple disappeared.
The distance between us was so close that the breath on his body and between his lips and teeth was entangled.
He lifted his wrist, and the wide crimson sleeves slid down his wrist. I was afraid that he would pinch my chin like the people I had met before, and hurriedly turned his face to the side.
He just grabbed a strand of my hair and sniffed it gently.
"That's interesting." His voice was still low, mixed with a light smile and a low moan. "Soul incense doesn't work for you, it's the first time I've seen it."
Dementor incense? Soul incense and Buyun Palace...... I immediately made a connection in my head.
After being hunted down by the people of Buyun Palace during the Lantern Festival last time, I specially asked Lan Zhi for advice on this Jianghu sect. It is said that the palace master of Buyun Palace succeeded to the throne after killing the previous one, and he vowed not to give up if he was ruthless and did not achieve his goal. And after he himself succeeded to the throne, he would always capture beautiful girls through various means, and in the end these girls disappeared. It is rumored that he relies on the blood of girls born on the lunar calendar to maintain his long-lasting appearance and longevity, but in general, I am not a woman born on the lunar calendar.
I slipped through the gap at his side, thinking that I had to keep a safe distance so I didn't have time to dodge when he did.
"You're talking to me about terms?" He folded his arms and squinted in a sneer.
"In your opinion, I really don't have the ability to negotiate conditions now, but it's different if you let me go." I stalled for time while trying to break the rope, but luckily they tied the slipknot, and it wasn't the first time I had untied the rope with my bare hands. "I know that Buyun Palace wants the land of Lingyun Villa, but Lingyun Villa is neither willing to exchange money nor let Buyun Palace rob it, what about the two of you, you are of equal strength, and no one will get any benefit from making a big move, but I can help you."
He slowly returned to the jade bed and sat down lazily. "The little girl knows a lot. But—" He paused, and my palms sweated nervously, and the more nervous I was, the more I couldn't untie the rope.
"I'm still more interested in you." He smiled, Danfeng's eyes were slightly raised, and he was extremely charming.
"We don't talk darkly, after all, you just want my blood, don't you?"
"Hahaha." He didn't answer, just laughed insolently, as if he had heard the funniest joke.
At this time, the rope in my hand was untied.
At the moment of his distraction, he pulled out the sword on the waist of the guard next to him as quickly as possible, originally I planned to threaten him directly with a hard encounter, or just break out.
Who knows, the guard didn't move as if he didn't feel anything, and the beauty in red was just holding her chin with her hands, as if she was watching a good show.
No, judging by intuition, if I break in, I'm afraid there will be no bones!
The blade was sharp, and he slashed his wrist with the sword, and blood dripped down the wound to the ground.
"What are you...... Are you going to threaten with death? He yawned and blinked, looking innocent and harmless.
"My cheap life, I'm very rare. I just wanted to tell you that I was poisoned all over my body, and it was highly poisonous. He wiped a little blood with his index finger and stretched out his hand in front of him. If you don't believe, taste it. ”
He gave the person next to him a look, and a doctor with a medical kit came behind him. However, this doctor is also wearing a mask and a robe, which is not like an ordinary person.
The doctor only used a moment to check the pulse on my other wrist, and then said: "What this woman said is true, her body is highly poisonous, and her time should be short. ”
When he said that his days were short, I still felt a little sad.
Tear a strip of cloth from the cuff and wrap it around the wound at will.
"What's your name?" The beauty in red asked.
"Dexin."
He ran his fingers around his hair and strolled over. "It sounds like the name of the official lady."
"The name is just a code name, even if my name is A Cat and a Dog A Hua, what's the difference?"
He nodded and said, "Ah Hua's name is not bad. ”
As soon as these words came out, I clearly felt that the doctor in the back was trying to hold back his laughter.
"Do you really think that those girls who were taken away by Buyun Palace were used to make medicine?"
I didn't have a good answer, because I did hear about it.
"Come on, take them all down and lock them up. I'm sleepy and need to sleep for a while. ”
Locked up?! I worked so hard for half a day to get locked up? I would have known that I would have done it!
"Wait." I hurriedly called out to him, "If you let me go, in the future, the entire Night Pavilion will remember your kindness, and I owe you a favor." ”
"Night Pavilion?" Although he was intrigued and confused, he did not turn away. "If I'm not mistaken, the old pavilion master of the Dark Night Pavilion will die, and the young master will succeed to the throne, what are you?"
Sure enough, it was Xin Li, the heart was not enough to swallow the elephant, and his aunt was so good to him, it turned out that he was feeding a white-eyed wolf!
"The person in the position of the pavilion master can be replaced, right?"
He stood still and did not speak for a long time.
My whole body tensed, and I didn't dare to let go.
"Take it down, lock it up." He said.
My heart sank, and I didn't even have the strength to move.
"Wait, take it to the east room and ask the doctor to bandage her wounds." He added.
I know, my words, worked.
