Chapter Thirty-Eight: Suddenly Enlightened
Xiao Qingming stood in front of the courtyard gate outside the bamboo house, quietly looking at Li Nanhuang.
Li Nanhuang was also in the courtyard, looking up at him gently with the clear glow of the bright moon.
Then, with his head down, he continued to wave the twilight cicada in his hand, making the next scar on his scarred arm.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, but the two of them were eerily quiet.
This is a quiet heart-to-heart duel, and no one wants to speak first, for fear of falling behind if they are not careful.
Xiao Qingming doesn't like to be persecuted the most, whether he saves people or gives advice, he has never relied on his own will, and the woman in front of him seems to have stepped on his bottom line.
But the woman in front of her didn't seem to have any intention of stopping at all, did she really want to die?
When they fled into Qi Yushan, they clearly wanted to live, but now this move doesn't look like a pretend, Xiao Qingming's original firm thing, when he saw Li Nanhuang's eyes, he was not so confident.
This woman's eyes were too tenacious, without the slightest hint of confusion, despair and temptation.
For a moment, Xiao Qingming felt that Li Nanhuang was not forcing others, but herself.
"Don't worry, I won't die with you."
Li Nanhuang sensed Xiao Qingming's vacillation, and spoke at the right time to break the peace.
"You really want to die?"
Xiao Qingming's brows furrowed slightly, doubting his judgment for the first time.
"You're so smart, did I lie to you?"
Li Nanhuang was so focused on hurting himself that he didn't look at Xiao Qingming at all.
She has her own considerations, she really doesn't want to die, but since she has gambled on her life, she naturally can't cheat, so she can only die for the truth.
Xiao Qingming, who is neither close to women nor greedy for fame and fortune, from appearance to martial arts to character and IQ, can not find any weaknesses in the whole body.
Because he only believes the conclusions he came up with on his own.
If you want a smart person to do something that is smart but mistaken by being smart, what else can you do except lie to him with truth?
Therefore, Li Nanhuang's plan is very simple.
Either Xiao Qing believes in her and helps, and then she only has to think about how to deal with the bewitching slut in her dream;
Either Xiao Qingming doesn't believe her, she will die and pull her down, and she will force Tuan'er to him by touching porcelain, with someone like him, Tuan'er can live well in this world.
Xiao Qingming should not have thought that Li Nanhuang really had an alternative plan to kill himself, right?
Theoretically speaking, Xiao Qingming was trapped.
No matter which path he chooses in the end, Li Nanhuang can get his wish, unless he suddenly changes his sex, becomes as shameless as Tuan'er, and gives up his character as a gentleman in the world.
Li Nanhuang, who was sure to win, didn't pay attention to Xiao Qingming's reaction at all now, anyway, she didn't want to lie to him, and she couldn't fool him.
She cut herself one by one in front of Xiao Qingming, trying to stay awake and resist the attack of the sleeping god, and her mind was full of thinking about how to negotiate with him when she saw Dixi again to ensure the safety of Tuan'er.
"That's enough."
Xiao Qingming finally couldn't help but make a move and grabbed Li Nanhuang's wrist.
"You saved Tuan'er, I thank you. As for me, don't worry about it. ”
Li Nanhuang looked at Xiao Qingming calmly, not that he was born without love, but he regarded death as home.
"The Gu poison on your body is not unsolvable, and Mu Wenxin may not be as vicious as you think."
Xiao Qingming only felt that Li Nanhuang was arrogant and unwilling to be threatened.
"She saved me and Tuan'er, I know that she is not a bad person, maybe Nanli also has a bad past of kings and ministers. However, I was tired. ”
Li Nanhuang tried his best to say it meaningfully, although he was not as playful as Tuan'er, but at least he ensured that there were no waves on his face.
"You ......"
Xiao Qingming was speechless for a while.
He doesn't understand the hearts of his daughter's family, and he doesn't have anything to do with children's affections, but Li Nanhuang's sentence "I'm tired" He inexplicably empathizes.
In this world, even a man like him may not be able to control his own destiny.
What's more, it's such a woman, if she thinks about it, she can't choose her background, let alone marriage, she can't go out of the picture, she can't wander the world, she can't hide from guns and arrows everywhere, and she is calculated and used everywhere.
On this trip back to the valley, she seemed to have been abandoned by the civil and military forces of the Southern Li and Manchu Dynasty.
Under the heavy physical and mental trauma, how can she not be tired?
"I'll leave tonight, and I hope Gongzi will treat Tuan'er well."
Li Nanhuang knew that Xiao Qingming had been shaken, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, to subdue a person like Xiao Qingming, he needed to show the courage to make him appreciate.
"No wonder you chose tonight, it turns out that it's all for Tuan'er. A maid, is it worth it? ”
Xiao Qingming finally understood Li Nanhuang's intentions, and his voice suddenly became very soft, with a gentleness that he had never felt before.
"If you know that you will live in darkness all your life, you will do your best to protect the only light."
Li Nanhuang raised her head and met Xiao Qingming's scrutinizing gaze, she was telling the truth, it didn't matter if she let him see the softest place in her heart.
"Tuan'er is insignificant to others, but for me, she is a sister and a close relative, even if I die, I have to fight for her life."
At this moment, Xiao Qingming finally understood where the tenacity in this woman's eyes came from.
"I see."
Xiao Qingming gently let go of Li Nanhuang's wrist.
"Thank you, Childe."
As soon as Li Nanhuang was free, he did not hesitate to stab his arm again.
Xiao Qingming has already begun to waver, Li Nanhuang tried to make himself die slowly, give him a time to find a way to persuade him, if there is no accident, he should be arrogant, and he will still help in private.
With the blessing of Mu Wenxin's Gu poison, and Xiao Qingming's secret help, he didn't have to worry about being plotted all the way back to Su Dusk City.
Alas, if Li Nanhuang knew that there was still a wolf tooth to escort all the way, it is estimated that he would start thinking about how to kill all sides after returning to the city, right?
"In a few days, a guest from Nanli is coming, and the girl can make a decision after she has seen it."
Speaking of which, Xiao Qingming didn't want to test each other with Li Nanhuang anymore.
"It's the same for everyone, but it's just someone else who uses me."
Li Nanhuang hit the nail on the head to get to the essence of the matter.
"It is true to use, but in everything that is desired, it must be given first. And vice versa. ”
Xiao Qing broke through the mystery.
"The other way around?"
Li Nanhuang's eyes lit up.
"It's inevitable that people who want to take advantage of you do things like this. The girl is so clever that she might as well turn the matter upside down, and if it were up to the girl to decide who she would like to be taken advantage of, then everything would suddenly become clear. ”
Xiao Qingming has already made a plan.
"yes, why didn't I think of that?!"
Li Nanhuang patted his head, annoyed that he actually needed someone else to mention it.
That's the legendary sunk cost!
Whether it is Di Xi or Mu Wenxin, or even Xiao Qingming in front of me, these guys who have already invested in me in the early stage, if they don't support me, they will have to watch the investment go down the drain!
I'm not even afraid of death now, why don't I sit on the ground and raise the price!
Finally found a way to deal with Di Xi, Li Nanhuang impatiently raised the knife and slashed it at his arm.
I hope I can hold on a little longer, concentrate on thinking about how to open the lion, and then go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, his neck hurt, his eyes were black, and he was directly knocked out by Xiao Qingming.
Looking at Li Nanhuang who fell in his arms, Xiao Qingming looked angry, he had seen such a scoundrel woman for the first time in his life.
"After taking my plan, you still want to die? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world! ”
