Chapter 163: Reuniting with His Highness after a long absence
The subtle sound of conversation that Zhao Wanqing could hear, if her perception was correct, was actually coming from a long distance away from the cell, so she had to concentrate and listen carefully, as if Xue Lin and Gao Maoxue had taught her luck methods in order to accurately hear the specific content.
However, when she heard the cell boss say that she was going to find a rope to strangle her, although Zhao Wanqing had a full amount of force, she was still a little uneasy, she stayed in the dark cell for half the night, not counting, these people still had to do something to her, do you still have any sympathy?
Zhao Wanqing maintained a squatting posture on the ground, moved her feet forward two steps, walked to a position slightly away from the iron gate, but not close to the stone bed occupied by rats, tried not to make a movement and lowered her head to carefully distinguish the scene on the ground in the dim vision, and finally picked up the extinguished torch from the wet floor.
If it weren't for the unreliable system that entered the "Loading" interface after chatting with her for two hours, and it hadn't been loaded until now, she would still be able to reuse items and get a burning torch. But now, only a wooden stick can barely be used as a weapon.
Zhao Wanqing shook the wooden stick in her hand, and imagined that the cell head would open the iron door and come in for a while, whether he was coming alone or a group of people, she would treat them as if they were whack-a-moles, one by one.
"Knock knock knock......" At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps on the head of the cell came to the ground.
Zhao Wanqing clenched the stick in her hand, took a deep breath to calm herself, and when she heard it again, there was the sound of someone falling to the ground.
"What's the situation?" Zhao Wanqing moved her mouth silently.
At this time, the footsteps continued to approach, different from the sound of the cell head blindly stomping on the floor, and the later one, whose footsteps were obviously much calmer, came over without hurry.
After another while, the footsteps of several other people followed this one, and gradually approached Zhao Wanqing's cell.
Zhao Wanqing inexplicably felt a huge pressure, maybe because of the dim environment, or because she added drama to herself, in short, she waited in horror for a while, and the iron door was finally opened.
Immediately afterwards, the firelight illuminated the entire cell, and Zhao Wanqing, who was originally squatting on the ground with her back to the iron door, jumped up from the ground and knocked on the first person standing in front of the iron door with a wave.
Looking at each other, it turned out to be Jiang Chengyuan!
Zhao Wanqing's hand braked sharply in the air, and it stopped an inch away from Jiang Chengyuan's hair, she looked at Jiang Chengyuan who was not surprised with a surprised face, and finally threw the wooden stick in half-sound, and pounced on Jiang Chengyuan's body, reaching out to grab his back regardless of it, and howling and crying: "Wow...... Hmph......"
She cried so aggrievedly that although she only squeezed out two tears, it could be regarded as a full voice, and after howling for a while, she hurriedly said the point: "There are rats here!" ”
Jiang Chengyuan chuckled indistinctly, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, and said, "You are still so energetic." ”
"Is that a compliment to me?" Zhao Wanqing glanced up at Jiang Chengyuan with dissatisfaction, and then buried her head in Jiang Chengyuan's arms, thinking that if she knew that it was so easy to get, she should have taken the initiative to hug him every day......
The haze of confronting the rat all night was swept away from Zhao Wanqing's heart, she wiped her tears on Jiang Chengyuan's clothes, and said movingly: "I didn't expect you to come ......"
Although Jiang Chengyuan did not push away Zhao Wanqing, who was hanging on him, he did not show the affectionate expression that a hero should have when he saved the United States, but said indifferently: "I just came to see you off." ”
"Send me?" Zhao Wanqing sobered up a little, looked up at Jiang Chengyuan again, and waited intently for his words.
Jiang Chengyuan said "um" and continued: "You can leave for Beijing tonight, but don't worry, this king has made an exception to arrange a carriage for you, which can be regarded as a reward for you to complete your mission." ”
Zhao Wanqing hurriedly explained: "But those charges were all imposed on me, stealing jade? Am I that kind of person? And taking bribes from officials? I don't know the situation at all, but when I was leaving, the ministers of the DPRK and China all came to give gifts, and they gave them in a dignified manner, and I accepted them in a dignified manner. As for hiding the Wei people......"
Zhao Wanqing didn't know how to defend herself when she said this, but she looked at Jiang Chengyuan, but found that he didn't care about her explanation from the beginning, and the expression on his face seemed to be saying "It should be like this".
Zhao Wanqing lowered her eyes, thinking that Jiang Chengyuan had Hu Jin's handwritten tips mixed in the gifts sent by the officials, the palace guards patrolled the general's mansion and should have found the Wei and Chu people but did not make a noise, Jiang Chengyuan knew that there would be such a result today, or, this result is what he wants to see.
Zhao Wanqing straightened up, her hands also left Jiang Chengyuan's back, and she was hanging in the air hesitating to take it back.
At this time, behind Zhao Wanqing, there was a sudden sound of iron pry in the direction of the small skylight of the dungeon, Zhao Wanqing looked back curiously, and saw that the small iron window fell down, and Xue Lin's voice shouted: "Xiao Wanqing, are you inside?" ”
Xue Lin deliberately lowered the volume, but Zhao Wanqing still heard it, and hurriedly replied: "Master! ”
She said that she was going to let go of Jiang Chengyuan and ran over, but her hand was grabbed, and when she looked back, she found that it was Jiang Chengyuan.
Jiang Chengyuan's big hand was tightly clasped around Zhao Wanqing's hand, pulled her back into his arms, put her hand back to the original hugging position, turned his head and gave his guards a gesture look, the guards immediately nodded and left the cell quickly.
Zhao Wanqing looked in the direction they left, then blinked at Jiang Chengyuan and asked, "You won't ...... Do you want them to arrest my master? ”
At this time, Xue Lin's voice never came from the small skylight, and Zhao Wanqing was a little worried, so she didn't have a rare possessiveness because of Jiang Chengyuan's rare (?) And rippling, although his hand hugged Jiang Chengyuan again, he looked at him motionlessly, with a positive expression.
Jiang Chengyuan also looked at her with scrutinizing eyes for a while, and then let her go and walked out of the cell, saying, "You actually appointed Chu people in the army, if the truth is discovered, do you know what the consequences are?" ”
Zhao Wanqing reacted immediately, hurriedly caught up and grabbed Jiang Chengyuan's sleeves with both hands, and said softly in a second: "Your Highness, I was wrong, I was really wrong." ”
She would definitely not be happy to let her bow her head to others, but she would be a hundred happy to bow her head to Jiang Chengyuan.
At this time, seeing Jiang Chengyuan turning his head to look at him, Zhao Wanqing immediately coquettishly said, "Forgive me." ”
Jiang Chengyuan's calm face showed a helpless expression, he glanced at the direction of the skylight, and then said: "When you got the hematopoietic pill for the emperor before, this king promised you a reward, do you remember?" ”
Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a thing." ”
"Then this king will spare you this time," Jiang Chengyuan said, "As for those Chu people, this king will send people to arrest them and send them back to Chu State." ”
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the skylight, and it seemed that someone else was there.
"Just send it back, right?" Zhao Wanqing said, and also looked over curiously, just at this time, a note fell from the hole in the skylight, Xue Lin's voice whistled, and soon returned to quiet.
Zhao Wanqing's first reaction was to let go of Jiang Chengyuan's sleeves, and planned to walk back to the cell to pick up the note that Xue Lin threw in to take a look, of course, her "letting go" was also temporary, and when she came back after picking up the note, she would definitely stick to Jiang Chengyuan's side.
However, Jiang Chengyuan didn't even give her the opportunity to "separate" at this point, just as Zhao Wanqing turned around, he took a step back, bent down and at the same time wrapped his big hand above Zhao Wanqing's knee, and easily picked her up with one hand, so that she could sit on his arm.
"Oh!" Zhao Wanqing was startled, and then reacted after her body was in the air, her hands had naturally climbed on Jiang Chengyuan's neck, and the line of sight from above and down, and the center of gravity of her body that could only lean towards Jiang Chengyuan made her blush: "Your Highness, Your Highness......"
Jiang Chengyuan didn't answer, but just took a big step forward decisively.
Zhao Wanqing had no choice but to hug his neck tightly, bow her head against his shoulder, bury her face in his neck socket and rub it, thinking to herself, when she sees her master Xue Lin later, she will apologize and thank him, after all, thanks to him, she can experience such a plot of Mary Sue girl's heart exploding!
Zhao Wanqing couldn't help laughing out loud when she thought that she was being held in her arms by Jiang Chengyuan with one hand and could hug his neck unscrupulously, but considering that she had to be "reserved", she bit her lower lip and held back, leaving only her shoulders shaking silently.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Chengyuan asked.
Zhao Wanqing hurriedly shook her head, and her voice was muffled because she was holding back a smile: "No ......"
Jiang Chengyuan probably didn't believe it, so he stretched out his unused left hand and put it on the crook of Zhao Wanqing's knee, and the original right hand moved to Zhao Wanqing's back, hugged her from his body, and changed the posture of holding her with one hand to a princess hug.
Zhao Wanqing went from hanging on Jiang Chengyuan's body to falling into his arms, the moment she was weightless and able to borrow her strength, her heart seemed to be "plopping" a little more, she raised her eyes, and her eyes met with Jiang Chengyuan, and her heart was beating like a drum.
Ah, completely caught in this man's heart-stealing trap! Zhao Wanqing thought to herself.
Jiang Chengyuan's pupils are dark, but they are very clear, so there seems to be an ocean inside, and it seems to have stars in the sky. A pair of eyes are already charming and deep, but because of the usual handsome face covered with thin ice, people dare not appreciate it carefully, until this time, Zhao Wanqing found that these eyes can appear so affectionate when they are quiet, and they can be called truly breathtaking.
"Is it really okay?" Jiang Chengyuan asked a little worriedly.
"Hmm." Zhao Wanqing responded as if she hadn't come back to her senses, and then she shook her head violently, raised her hand close to Jiang Chengyuan's face, and asked cautiously, "Okay...... Bobo? ”
