Red Dust, Listen to the Wind and Snow Chapter 40
This new house was far away from where the feast was placed, and because the country people who were eating and drinking for nothing were very noisy, no one could hear it, although there was a great commotion here. Even if someone could hear it, no one cared too much.
And this mansion is newly built, Zhen Qiji and Shi Zhongquan have not yet recruited a maid for the long-haired old man, so naturally there is no one to guard outside the new house.
So, no one in the room knew what was going on here, except for the lose-lose people in the room.
No, there is still one person who knows, and that is the woman who is unconscious.
After a while, the woman who had been driven out of her body gradually woke up from her coma.
She sat up weakly, not reacting to what she had just opened her eyes for.
Seeing that she had woken up, Zhen Qiji hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, take my sword and kill that old man." ”
The woman looked at where the voice came from, and immediately realized where she was, and the danger.
She saw the long-haired old man lying on the ground with a dead face.
Then, without hesitation, she stood up, walked to Zhen Qiji's side, took the sword from his hand, and walked towards the long-haired old man.
Although the long-haired old man had been deeply poisoned, he was still conscious.
When he saw the woman coming, he knew that he was in danger.
And seeing her trembling towards him, he guessed that her body was still relatively weak, and even if she stabbed herself, she wouldn't be able to exert much strength.
However, he had to worry that she would stab him in the deadly spot.
Therefore, he had to be on the lookout, and when she stabbed him, he had to move his body.
Unsurprisingly, the woman was staring at his head, and the sword in her hand was also within range of her head.
If nothing else, the place she was going to stab him was in the neck.
How could he have allowed her to stab himself in such a fatal spot?
Seeing her sword stabbing fiercely, he suddenly raised the strength of his whole body and moved to the side.
However, he was poisoned too deeply, and he no longer had much strength in his body.
Despite all the effort, I was a little late to move my body.
He wasn't stabbed in the neck, but he was stabbed in the eye.
The sword in her hand was stuck in his left eye.
Fortunately, she didn't have much strength, and she didn't insert it deeply.
The pain irritated his nerves. He suddenly felt his blood rush out.
A force that came from nowhere made him stand up after enduring the severe pain.
And when the woman saw him stand up, she fell to the ground in fright.
However, he did not attack her.
Standing up, he seemed to know that the strength in his body was temporary, so he didn't dare to delay, and staggered towards the broken door.
Then, his figure disappeared from the sight of Zhen Qiji, Shi Zhongquan and the woman.
Before staggering away from here, he roared in a miserable voice: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I died twice, both at such a time, ahahaha......"
No one can understand what he means, and no one will care if they hear it.
When Zhen Qiji talked about this, he felt a little thirsty.
He picked up a pot of warm wine on the table and poured himself a glass.
And when he picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, he suddenly stopped his movements and frowned slightly.
Then, without taking a sip, he put down his glass.
He continued, "After the long-haired old man left, he never came back. Later, I sent someone to investigate, but until now, I have not seen him again. He must be dead. ”
Kang Peng said: "What happened later? How did you get into trouble with Shi Zhongquan later? You said that the old man with long hair caused you to have a gap, but then he is no longer there, and you are not yet on the road to parting......"
Zhen Qiji said: "However, he left us a city, an innumerable fortune, and a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city. He is gone, but the temptation he left us is still there. ”
Kang Peng said: "I think, you have a life-and-death feud for these three things, right?" ”
Zhen Qiji shook his head and said, "No." The reason why we made such a fuss was because of that woman. ”
"Oh?" Kang Peng was puzzled.
Zhen Qiji said: "That woman later regretted that she would not have a maid and two husbands, she just wanted to marry the city lord of this city, and whoever became the city lord of this city would be his man." ”
Kang Peng said: "She clearly wants you to kill Shi Zhongquan." ”
Zhen Qiji said: "However, even if she doesn't say so, we also know that we will have to make choices in many things in the future." Although we can divide the money equally, we cannot share a woman, nor can we sit together as the lord of the city. When she said this in front of us, it was also a reminder of how to deal with the problem of one mountain and no two tigers. ”
Kang Peng said: "What happened later? How do you do that? ”
Zhen Qiji said: "At first, we turned a deaf ear to such a problem that we had to face, and we hoped that after we didn't touch it, it would gradually disappear...... However, we were all wrong. Our procrastination has laid the foundation for mutual suspicion in the future. ”
Maybe he was really thirsty, so he didn't think much about it, so he picked up the glass of wine on the table and drank it.
Then, he added: "The longer it drags on, the deeper our suspicion of each other becomes, and eventually we have to turn against each other." ”
Kang Peng asked, "When did you start fighting-for-tat?" ”
Zhen Qiji said: "Because of the deep suspicion later, none of us trusted anyone, but that woman added a fire at the right time, and finally brought us to the point of meeting each other." ”
His tone gradually became harsh, and there was no end to his resentment.
Kang Peng knew that he couldn't interject at this time, and it was best not to say anything.
So, he chose to remain silent and waited for Zhen Qiji to continue.
"That woman hid it from me, and even dated Shi Zhongquan again and again. Later, after I noticed the incident, I quietly followed her, only to learn that she had entered Shi Zhongquan's room and slept with him. Zhen Qiji held back his anger and said. She is willing to talk to Shi Zhongquan, I have nothing to say, after all, everything between men and women is what you and I want. But...... Outside the door of Shi Zhongquan's room, I heard them whispering a conspiracy that frightened me very much. ”
Although he hadn't said what the conspiracy was, Kang Peng had already guessed it.
Later, Zhen Qiji told him without concealment, and he guessed that it was indeed ** not far from ten.
Since that woman wants to be the wife of the city lord and is friendly with Shi Zhongquan, she must want to eradicate Zhen Qijian and make Shi Zhongquan the city lord of this city.
As long as Zhen Qijian is eradicated, everything that the long-haired old man had before will be Shi Zhongquan.
Shi Zhongquan hesitated at first, but he couldn't bear the woman's repeated "reminders", he finally made up his mind to give Zhen Qijian an "unexpected".
After learning about their conspiracy, Zhen Qiji's blood boiled, but his back couldn't help but feel cold.
Since they are unkind, let us not blame them for their unrighteousness. He was going to kill them before they could kill him.
So, that night, he hid outside Shi Zhongquan's room, waiting for a chance to make a move.
