Chapter 21: The Game of Hongu
The beggar knelt in front of the green tree.
His arm trembled across the crowd as she spoke.
When his eyes fell on Qi Mingyue, his almost uncontrollable body pounced forward, opening his mouth and shouting, the only remaining open eye was filled with surging anger.
Qi Mingyue's face was completely devoid of blood.
She subconsciously wanted to retreat, wanted to hide.
But the sound of the chains on the beggar's wrists, and the sound of the green tree smiling and reading the numbers like a devil, were like amulets.
Her heart was beating almost beyond the limits of what her body could handle.
Two of the three fingers stretched out by the green tree had already bent down.
The beggar's angry finger seemed to fall in her direction.
At the moment when the last number of Qingshu was about to exit, Qi Mingyue couldn't hold back any longer, took a step forward, grabbed the railing with both hands, bit his white lip and shouted,
"Wait!"
The sun pierced her pale face, and fine sweat was already breaking out from the corners of her forehead.
"Please wait a minute," Qi Mingyue's voice was pitiful and weak, as if she had been greatly wronged, and there was even a trace of crying, "Concubine Niangniang, please, please raise your noble hand, this ...... This person, because of my negligence that day, accidentally bumped into you, I, I beg you to raise your noble hand, spare his life, I, I apologize to you, it's all my fault, it's me, I didn't control my subordinates, disturbed your car, please raise your noble hand. ”
She was thin, and it seemed that she had already exended a lot of strength to say this, and the whole person could not stand steadily, as if she was shaking.
"Sister!" Qi Rongyu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said in a low voice: "What does this have to do with you, you know that you are not in good health, what can you do!" ”
"Asking for mercy, it should be my brother." Qi Rongyu looked at Qing Qi, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face, clenched his fists, and said: "Guifei Niangniang, this beggar relied on my sister's kindness and pestered her on the street, my sister was frightened, and left in a hurry without noticing that this beggar actually picked up the carriage behind the carriage, which will collide with your car." ”
"My sister is kind-hearted, and she can't bear to see a beggar die because of her, so I sincerely plead with you, hoping that you will raise your noble hand and not hurt the innocent in vain. Whether it is this beggar or the spectators present, they are living human lives, not tools for you to play with. ”
His remarks were immediately approved by the people around him.
It's not a pity for a beggar to die, but Qingshu clearly wants to pull the people present to mess around, and no one wants to be that innocent victim.
Even Jinchen also jumped from the stands to the competition platform, today he is responsible for the safety here, naturally he can't watch Qingqi continue to mess around, "Concubine, today is the empty valley festival of Qiyue Temple, it is not appropriate to see blood, please raise your noble hand." ”
On the surface, it was a plea, but in fact it was a warning to her not to mess around again.
"Hahahaha~"
Qingqi suddenly laughed and trembled, holding her stomach and bending down, when Lian Jinchen frowned fiercely, she suddenly stopped laughing, and her white and tender fingers pointed at Lian Jinchen, Qi Rongyu and Qi Mingyue,
"The three of you have pleaded~"
"But what about Hongu, I'm not very satisfied."
"In this way, the three of you rock-paper-scissors, the one who wins, will be a person for the palace, and today's matter, the palace will forget it. What do you think? ”
Lian Jinchen's face darkened: "Have you made enough trouble?" This king will now ask someone to tell Your Majesty about today's events, Lord Qingqi, this is Xiliang, not you Dongqin! ”
"So what?" Qingqi played with a strand of his hair with his fingertips, tilted his head to look at him,
"Sue the palace, you go~!"
"You!" Lian Jinchen is really the first time to meet such an unreasonable person, but he can't be beaten or scolded, and he has to be polite, it's just heartbroken.
"Count three more times in this palace, if you can't come up with a result after discussion, this palace ......"
She thought for a moment with a distressed expression, then took out a small bottle from her bosom and poured out something like an elixir from it, "This palace will show you a gadget!" ”
She pinched the elixir and flicked it into the air in the distance.
I only heard a "bang", and the elixir exploded in the air.
Many people hugged their heads and screamed.
Qingqi poured out another one, pinched it and compared it with Lian Jinchen, turned his fingertips to Qi Mingyue's direction, and said with a smile: "The game of this palace, no one is allowed to quit halfway~ If you don't play, this palace will be thrown away~"
"Stop!"
"This king promises you!"
"Brother Chen, don't-"
