Chapter 8: The Beggar

Time passed gradually, and I don't know how long it had passed, Pei Yungui only felt that everything was slowed down sharply in unbearable pain.

The people in the woodroom lay on the ground in pain, like a drowning man, eager to draw the resources from the air that would keep her alive.

The corners of her mouth were red, and her dress was stained with blood.

Pei Yungui slammed his left wrist, his nails sinking deep into the flesh.

It hurts...... It hurts more than being hit in the past......

This heroine is really not easy to be.

She bit her lower lip and swallowed a few moans that spilled from deep in her throat into her belly.

The sun is moving westward, and the firewood house is gradually falling into darkness.

The intense burning sensation finally faded from the internal organs.

Pei Yungui exhaled a breath of turbidity, suddenly relaxed his body, and closed his eyes to feel the slightly cool air as if he had been reborn.

I finally got through it......

-------------------------------------

Gu Mansion, study.

Gu Rin was in front of the case, and the pen was walking the dragon and snake.

A guard stepped forward and reported: "Lord, the one in the firewood room has survived." ”

After a pause in the hand of writing, Gu Rin gently knocked the pen on the inkstone.

On the paper, there are eight big characters of "calm and calm, pampered and not shocked", and the pen is strong and sharp.

I only heard a pleasant chuckle coming from the case.

"It's kind of interesting."

A look of appreciation flashed in the depths of Gu Rin's eyes that even he hadn't noticed.

【Ding! Thirty percent of the tasks have been completed, and the taskers are asked to keep up the good work. 】

Pei Yungui's hand was stunned, and the next moment, her whole face wrinkled.

Gu Rin, the iron rooster, is extremely stingy and stingy!

Pei Yungui threw his hair behind him in a huff

A heart-wrenching poison is only worth 15 percent of progress?

It's not as good as Song Qiluo and Ji Yanqian!

By the time Gu Rin arrived at the firewood room, Pei Yungui had completely returned to his normal state, and only his pale face was telling about the torture of the poison.

Seeing the initiator, Pei Yungui twisted his head to the side, and let out a light snort from his nose.

All these actions were taken into Gu Rin's eyes, but he didn't seem to hear it, and said to himself: "Congratulations to Miss Pei for surviving this catastrophe." ”

"Thank you, I'm just afraid of General Gu's congratulations, Yungui can't afford it."

After an unforgettable torture, coupled with the task progress bar that seemed to be a pool of stagnant water, it was difficult for Pei Yungui to have a good impression of Gu Rin.

Even if he just looked at that face now, Pei Yungui felt that he was extremely disgusting.

Gu Rin took out a sandalwood locket from his sleeve, which was the same as what the guards had taken yesterday.

Pei Yungui saw something familiar, and his heart trembled.

"What are you going to do?"

She had just survived the worse than death once, and she couldn't afford to be tortured a second time.

"That medicine is to look at the medan, and when swallowed in the abdomen, it can devour flesh and blood, and turn bones into white bones. The one I gave you to eat is called Plum Planting, and the purpose is to root the poison of Wangmei in your body. ”

Speaking of such evil things, Gu Rin didn't blink his eyes.

Perverted, worthy of being a villain, there is really no humanity at all.

Pei Yungui's eighteen-year heart was finally angry.

"So what am I going to do, suffering from this stuff all the time?"

Gu Rin hooked his lips and smiled, and put the things in his sleeve.

"The poison occurs on the fifteenth day of the month, so you only need to come to me one day in advance to see Meydan, and take it. There is no solution to this poison, and when the poison occurs, the only way to alleviate it is to fight the poison with poison. ”

Pei Yungui was already clenching his fists in his sleeves, and his eyes were wide with anger.

"General Gu took such a lot of trouble because he didn't want me to leak the matter of Changle Street. But you just need to remind me that I am as tight-lipped as a bottle, why would I carry out such a vicious method. ”

Which is more important, Pei Yun is clear, she wants to live, she won't meddle in things.

"Miss Pei is very smart, but Gu has always only believed in the mouths of the dead."

If he could kill Pei Yungui, he would have crushed her to ashes, so why bother to be so twisted and turned.

Pei Yungui didn't want to talk to Gu Rin.

According to Tongzi, Gu Rin is a madman with incorrect views and extreme paranoia.

The villain's ending was destined to be tragic, Pei Yun returned to obedience, and comforted himself: Be calm, tolerant and generous, and don't have to be angry with the dying person.

"By the way, I still want to ask Miss Pei about it." Gu Rin changed his words and suddenly asked, "Dare to ask Miss Pei's father and mother, who is their surname, and where does they live?" ”

Pei Yungui's eyes froze, and he suddenly became vigilant.

Gu Rin suddenly inquired about her family background, what did she do?

"Why did General Gu suddenly ask about this?"

"Miss Pei doesn't need to know the reason, you just need to answer truthfully. Remember, the poisonous root has been deeply planted, once a month, Wangmei, but I have the right not to give. ”

This is a clear threat.

Pei Yungui stared at Gu Rin's eyes for a long time, and suddenly chuckled: "My father is a doctor, and he left me before I can remember, and he has never made contact with me. As for the name...... I don't know, I only know that he is the sixth in the family, and the people in the village call him Pei Liu, and I don't know the rest. ”

That's a half-truth.

Father's name, she knows, her father's traces, she also knows, at the age of three, she went out with her parents to travel, and at the age of seven, she encountered the plague in You County, and her father and mother rushed to help, but was killed by gangsters. Later, she was adopted by Uncle Ji at home.

However, there were some twists and turns in the middle.

Ji Yanqian didn't know what reason she used, and fabricated an identity for her - the abandoned daughter of the Pei family in the suburbs of Luotong County, living in a woodcutter's house, and was adopted by Ji Yanqian at the age of seven.

Pei Yungui of Luotong County was clean and clean, without any entanglements, and Ji Yanqian did visit the woodcutter's family that year and adopted "Pei Yungui".

To this day, Pei Yungui doesn't know if "Pei Yungui" in Luotong County really exists, and why Ji Yanqian fabricated this lie.

It's just that in the past ten years, whenever others asked, she always answered that she was born in the suburbs of Luotong County, and never aroused suspicion.

Therefore, Pei Yungui believes that even if Gu Rin goes to investigate, he may not be able to find out what is the reason.

Thinking of this, Pei Yungui suddenly recalled that day when he mentioned the death of his parents, Pei Fu and Pei Mu's unnatural state.

There must be ghosts in her identity.

Pei Yungui said: "But there is one point, I think General Gu should be very interested. ”

"Oh?" Gu Rin really raised his eyes with interest.

"My father, and Uncle Ji, are brothers."

Since Gu Rin is so keen on the Pei family, she might as well push the boat down the river, not only to find some trouble for Ji Yanqian, but also to use Gu Rin to help her find out the death of her father.

【Ding! The tasker draws inferences from one another, and rewards the heroine's aura worth ten points. 】

Pei Yungui's eyes lit up: There are such good things.

Gu Rin glanced at Pei Yungui deeply, and said with a smile: "I thought Miss Pei was a little white rabbit in the rabbit nest, and she was in a hurry but bit someone else twice and bluffed, and later, I thought you were a fox, but I planned to play some carving insect skills, but I didn't expect that Miss Pei was a lone wolf in the middle of the night, maverick and lonely, and her courage was also very good." ”

Pei Yun returned with a smile, and the smile contained three points of ridicule, "Thank you for the compliment, it's just a fellow practitioner." ”

There was no smile in Gu Rin's eyes, and his voice was cold in vain.

"The dark night is full of dangers, Miss Pei, be careful of self-damage and self-immolation."

-------------------------------------

Pei Yungui was finally released.

The sky outside the Gu Mansion is more transparent, and the air outside the Gu Mansion is fresher.

Pei Yungui took a heavy breath, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the slight coolness of the breeze.

At this moment, she is like a prisoner who has been imprisoned for many years, and finally survived and returned to freedom.

【Ding! Task 4 starts

Task content: Help the beggars on the street and attract the attention of the male protagonist Li Qingyuan

Mission time: 5 hours.

Now the countdown begins, please hurry up.

Pei Yungui's cheerful footsteps paused.

Li Qingyuan? Why does this name sound so familiar?

She narrowed her apricot eyes and pondered the name in her head.

The Li family in the capital is only royal.

Li Qingyuan, it can't be the Li Qingyuan in the East Palace!

[Answer is correct.] 4322 suddenly spoke, [The male protagonist of this book is the prince, Li Qingyuan. 】

Pei Yungui tugged at his stiff mouth.

Then won't she achieve a positive result with the prince in the future?

"Tongzi, the female protagonist, do you have to be with the male protagonist and then get married?"

[That's natural, the main line of this book is the heroine's slap in the face, and the secondary line is to fall in love with the prince, and the host doesn't want to be with the male protagonist. 】

Pei Yungui wanted to cry without tears.

The rules of the palace are too strict, and Pei Yungui doesn't like it.

Moreover, the crown prince may be the future monarch, and she panicked when she thought of squeezing together with so many ladies in the harem to compete for favor in the future.

[The host's thoughts are dangerous.] 4322 immediately reminded: [The story told in this book is love, and the love line is a very important plot line, if the host is unwilling to develop, the world will also collapse. 】

"But......" Pei Yungui looked embarrassed and sighed heavily.

But she is a living person, who she likes and what kind of life she wants, she knows very well in her heart.

If she has to live with someone she doesn't like for most of her life and live a life she doesn't want, then what's the point of what she is doing now?

And in this way, it is not fair to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

From the moment he was born, he was destined to end, what kind of road he wanted to take, and who he would marry as his wife, all of which had been arranged.

was the original heroine before, and now it's herself.

Could it be that the original heroine ran away precisely because she discovered this problem?

【Ding! The danger consciousness of the tasker is detected, and the tasker needs to serve the plot step by step and must not exceed the rules.

This is the first warning, and if the number of warnings reaches three, the tasker's autonomy will be erased. 】

Pei Yungui was taken aback.

Your own doubts are indeed challenging the bottom line of the system.

She took a deep breath, she must not think like this in the future, at least, until the truth is found, it is better to do the task step by step.

As for the love line with the prince, she has to control it well.

Pei Yungui patted his face, sobered up a little, and went to the most prosperous area of Shuiyun Street.

Often, only in places where the rich come and go, and commerce is prosperous, there will be beggars gathered.
