Chapter 53: The Evasive Liar
The wind in early winter is colder than in autumn, and at night, dark clouds are over the demon capital, as if it is going to rain.
In the kitchen of King Jin's mansion, a slender figure was shaking, the woman was dressed in green clothes and hair, dressed as a maid in the inner room, and she stood in front of the stove with her eyes blank, as if she was in a daze. It wasn't until the soup on the stove gurgled and bubbled and splashed on the back of her hand that the woman in Tsing Yi jumped as if she had just woken up from a dream, and reacted and put the soup in the bowl.
This time, she didn't walk towards Hua Wuyan with the soup again, nor did she do anything in the soup. The woman stared at the hot soup with lotus roots and lotus seeds floating in her hand, and unconsciously scooped a spoonful into her mouth.
"Phew!"
A bitter taste spread to the corners of her lips, and the woman spit out the soup in her mouth with a spirit.
Such a bad thing, how did Hua Wuyan drink it for nearly a month?
Could it be that he knew that he was here to kill him, and that he was doing this to deceive himself into revealing his original form? But if he had known that the soup was poisonous, he had pretended not to know anything and was going to drink that bowl of soup last night?
Those inexplicable words, those confusing things, disturbed her thoughts and formed a knot.
The porcelain bowl was placed on the kitchen stove by her, and Qingjiu left the room and walked towards Hua Wuyan's bedroom.
The light in the room in the deepest part of the hallway was still on, and Qingjiu bit his lip and mustered up the courage to knock on the door. A magnetic male voice suddenly came from inside the room.
"Come in. ”
The woman entered the room, closed the door, walked to the side of a few cases and lowered her head without speaking, Hua Wuyan put down the scroll in her hand, looked at the woman with a smile and said, "Why is there no lotus heart soup to drink today, but I feel cold in winter?"
Qingjiu pursed his lips tightly, and it took a long time before he raised his head and looked at the man with a complicated expression and said, "Lord Wang, you... Did you know from the beginning that I was actually here to kill you? ”
Hearing this, Hua Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and then moved his eyes elsewhere.
"Well, I've known since the first time I saw you in the house. ”
Memories came flooding back, and he remembered that the first time he saw her was in the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, the day had turned cold, and the woman was still wearing a light green coat, standing in the courtyard with a broom, and looking sneakily at her bedroom.
At that time, he happened to pass by, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a small dagger hidden in the cuff of the woman, although it was hidden secretly, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice. But because his five senses were a hundred times sharper than ordinary people, at that moment, he knew that she was an assassin who infiltrated the mansion.
It was not surprising that the Jin Mansion had infiltrated the assassins, but when he looked up again, he was stunned the moment he saw the woman's face.
At the same time, the woman also saw him in the hallway.
She seemed startled at the sight of him. She hurriedly threw the broom in her hand, curtsied and said, "Flower..... The prince is well!"
The voice of the woman in front of her was exactly the same as that person. He restrained the impulse in his heart, walked up to her, and smiled as usual, "What's your name?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi was a little nervous, and she stammered a little when she spoke: "Go back to the prince.... Lao Tzu.uh.... The slave's name is Qing wine. ”
"Good name, then from now on, you will come to my room and be a bed warmer!"
Listening to his words, the woman said with a happy face: "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
This was the first time the two met. Qingjiu listened to him finish this matter, pursed his lips and said nothing.
After a long time, she said, "In that case, why do you dare to drink the soup I cooked, and even keep me by your side even knowing that I am an assassin." And most importantly..... We used to ..... Have you really seen it?"
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and a muffled thunder came from the depths of the sky. The wind was blowing outside the window, and a cold wind blew into the room through the crack in the window, and the rainstorm was coming, and the candle flame was beating uneasily in the wind, and even her heart was uneasy.
Hua Wuyan snapped his fingers and closed the gap outside the window.
The room was quiet again, and he chuckled, "Because it's you." ”
"It's me?"
"Hmm. The man nodded, as if he didn't want to explain any more.
Still smiling as always, Qingjiu looked at him like this, and a trace of irritability arose inexplicably in his heart.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and whispered, "You said we had met before, but I didn't have any impression of you. Ask you anything, you don't say anything, Hua Wuyan, what are you hiding from me, you say!"
The woman's suppressed roar echoed in the room, and after a long time, Hua Wuyan sighed and said, "Jiujiu, what about you, why did you kill me?"
"Because. Qingjiu glanced at him, pursed her lips, and said her agreement with the evil god as if she had made up her mind.
"Exchanging your heart for freedom is really the style of the evil god. ”
Hua Wuyan looked at her and said, "What about now, do you still want my heart?"
Qingjiu frowned and looked at him, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
"Tell the truth, I want to hear it. ”
The woman bit her lip and said with a complicated expression: "At the beginning, I really wanted to exchange your heart for my freedom. But after getting along, I can't do anything to you. Actually, I'm here today to ask you about things, and to say goodbye to you. If I don't go back to my life, the evil god will take the initiative to find me, and instead of being captured by him, I should go back to the valley obediently. Lord, since you still refuse to say it, then I won't force you. Lord Wang, thank you very much for taking care of Qingjiu these days, Qingjiu, don't leave it at that. ”
"You're leaving?" Hua Wuyan restrained his smile.
"Hmm. She looked away, no longer looking into his deep eyes.
One step, two steps, getting closer and closer to the door, but she slowed down.
Say, as long as you tell me the whole story, I won't leave. Flower no feast, you say!
She expected him to take her in his arms and keep her from leaving, as he had done that day. But until she pushed the door open, there was silence behind her.
"Qingjiu!"
He stood up, teleported to her side, and grabbed her wrist. She was overjoyed and stopped where she was.
Hua Wuyan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said weakly: "Jiujiu, I know you want to know about our past, but, I'm sorry, I can't tell you about the past for the time being." ”
The woman turned her head and wrinkled her eyebrows and shouted, "Why?
At this time, a light rain fell outside the house, and the door was wide open, and the rain was blown by the wind from the eaves and drifted to Qingjiu's face.
Hua Wuyan looked at her who was close to getting out of control, opened her mouth, and finally said something that made Qingjiu crazy.
"Wine, it's good if you're happy. ”
She bit her lip and closed her eyes in disappointment, and when she opened them again, there was a look of determination in her eyes. She quietly broke his hand and walked resolutely into the wind and rain.
She liked him and wanted to stay with him.
However, if he didn't even have the courage to tell her the truth, such a man was not worthy of her to fight against the evil gods.
The wind blew fiercely in the heavens and the earth, and the rain suddenly turned into a downpour, and the drops of water soaked her thin body, but she did not look back.
The people behind him did not chase after him, and in the rainy night, there was no one else in the palace courtyard.
Qingjiu suddenly thought of the scene where he was injured that night, hugged himself and begged her not to leave, and a bitter smile spread on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, men are liars, they talk nicely, but in fact they only know how to escape. Especially the romantic goods like Hua Wuyan, it is even more unbelievable.
