Chapter 254: Verbal War
The experience of being poured cold water on the noodles was poor. Luo Qianhuai choked and coughed a few times before opening his eyes, and found that he had been tied to the cross with iron ropes, barely able to move.
The wrists of both hands and feet were all exposed, and Huo Yu held a dagger in his hand and was gently playing with it in his hand.
Luo Qianhuai took a closer look and found that the dagger was the one given to her by Zhang Qing.
He must not have imagined that one day he would be hurt by this gift of sharpening iron like clay.
"I didn't expect that Luo Niangzi would bring such a treasure on her." Huo Yu saw her wake up, and smiled.
"I was worried that the ordinary knives were too blunt and that the wounds would be too big to recover. It's easy to do with it. He casually inserted the dagger into the wooden pillar at his side, and pulled it out with ease.
"The wound won't be too big, and the official will give you the best medicine, maybe there won't even be a scar."
Huo Yu slowly approached and put the dagger in front of Luo Qianhuai, his eyes were so dark that they were seeping: "I originally wanted to finish things while you were unconscious, so that you would suffer less." β
"But who would have thought that you would be able to accumulate the strength of a single blow and almost mess up the whole plan."
When he said this, there was a coldness in his eyes: "So this official repented." I want you to see with your own eyes how your veins are cut, so that you know fear. β
"Huo, Lord Huo." Luo Qianhuai endured the increasingly strong irritability in his body, and forced himself to bite his lips to stay awake: "Please, don't do this." I can exchange something else with you, and I promise it will please the adults. β
Huo Yu looked at her pretending to be calm, her lips with tooth marks and blood stains were beaten by cold water into thin strands of hair stuck to her ears, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked:
"But what to do, what the official wants, from beginning to end, is just you." As he spoke, he had already walked to Luo Qianhuai's left side, and as soon as the cold blade touched his skin, a thin blood mark had already been drawn.
"Don't!" Luo Qianhuai fought a cold war fiercely, and his brain was running again under the imminent threat:
"Since Lord Huo said that he likes little girls, little girls are actually not indifferent to adults, why do you have to do things like burning the piano and cooking cranes? If the little girl's tendons are broken today, then I can only lie in bed every day in the future, is that what adults want to see? β
The tip of the dagger exerted force, scratching the outer layer of flesh, and then paused.
Blood trickled down, but Luo Qianhuai didn't care about the pain.
"To be honest, if you are just an ordinary person, this official doesn't have to be so ruthless. The matter has come to this point, it is inappropriate to say more, even if you are inconvenient in the future, it will not affect the favor, and the official will support you for a lifetime."
The person should have a paranoid psychotic disorder and should be treated with clozapine. Luo Qianhuai smiled bitterly, feeling that the dagger that pierced into his left wrist was hard again, it hurt and scared, and he couldn't help but exhale: "Ah! β
As soon as this painful cry came out, Huo Yu's movements immediately stopped.
"It hurts?" He stared at Luo Qianhuai and said.
Could it be that this person still has such a human nature?
"Uh, yes!" Luo Qianhuai's face immediately showed a strong color of pain, rendering the three points of pain into ten.
Huo Yu knew that she was mostly pretending, but she was still a little hesitant in the end.
"Lang Jun." He Jian was a bystander, and he would not be fooled by Luo Qianhuai's exaggerated acting skills: "If you can't do it, it's better to hand it over to your subordinates." Since this kind of thing must be done, it must be done quickly, with less pain, and it can also avoid long nights and dreams. β
Luo Qianhuai looked at the expression on Huo Yu's face with a blank look, turned from hesitation to firmness, and knew that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the little girl knows that no one knows about a large copper mine, which can produce 10,000 tons of copper every year, as long as the adult is willing to let the little girl go, the little girl is willing to draw the location of this mine." β
Copper mines will always be scarce in the dynasty, and copper coins will never be enough. He Jian had already taken the dagger, and when he heard this, he also felt that the matter was very important, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Huo Yu.
Huo Yu's face was cloudy, and he stared at her deeply for a while, as if he wanted to find evidence of deception from her.
Luo Qianhuai opened a pair of innocent apricot eyes and looked back calmly.
"Huh." Huo Yu looked at it for a long time before he sneered: "Luo Niangzi really dares to say anything in order to escape." β
"Why do you say that?" Luo Qianhuai showed weakness and said: "The little girl's family is in Changlingyi, only the adults take the part of the little girl, and there is no possibility for the little girl to bully the adult." Adults can ask people to explore, and after verification, they will know the sincerity of the little girl. β
Huo Yu paced back and forth in the torture chamber for a few steps, and suddenly asked in an echo: "You are just a boudoir woman, and your practice of martial arts and medicine is already out of line, how can you know about the unknown copper mine?" β
Luo Qianhuai had already thought of a shield: "Actually, it was discovered by Zhang Jianzong." He once fought with someone, and his sword qi cracked the stone, and he found that there was malachite inside. β
She opened her mouth: "Do you know, my lord, this malachite is a sign of the upper layer of a large copper mine, and if you find it, it means that there must be a copper mine." It's just that Zhang Jianzong didn't know this, but he felt that the malachite was so beautiful that he wanted to take it back, saying that he wanted to make jewelry for the little girl. β
Although Huo Yu knew that she had a close relationship with Zhang Qing before, she also asked people to inquire about him, knowing that he was her younger brother's teacher, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and only when she heard this did she realize that something was wrong. "That Zhang Qing is right to you, but."
Luo Qianhuai's face appropriately showed a shy look: "Zhang Jianzong is actually the little girl's fiancΓ©. He is stubborn by nature, and he knows the skills of the little girl, and he will never die because he fell off the cliff, and he will definitely be investigated to the end - so if the adults don't want to cause endless trouble, why don't they accept the little girl's proposal? β
Huo Yu was still thinking, but He Jian felt very troublesome. It is his mission to protect Lang Jun, and there is no impermeable wall in this world. If the adults insist on dealing with Luo Niangzi as planned, sooner or later they will be targeted by Zhang Qing.
If it is not a last resort, no one wants to be an enemy of the youngest Sword Sect in the world.
"Lang Jun." He hesitated and spoke: "Some time ago, the head of the family was still worried about the lack of copper money in the treasury, if he can really get a copper mountain, it is really a solution to the urgent need, why don't you give it a try?" β
"Luo Niangzi." Huo Yu also made a decision in his heart, and when he looked up and saw her, most of the color of the yin owl in his eyes dispersed: "It's not that this official can't trust you." But until we find out that what you said is true, how about asking Mrs. Luo to stay here for the time being?"
As long as you don't use the knife, everything is easy to say. "I don't have a problem." Luo Qianhuai replied very quickly.
Huo Yu stood in front of her, stretched out his hand and lifted her chin: "Aren't you worried that after the official gets the mine, he will break the contract again, or even kill his mouth?" β
How could Luo Qianhuai not be worried. Huo Yu's credit in her eyes is already negative, she is a false and wronged snake, and she is ready to wait until the system self-checks before she runs away, where will she believe her.
As for the copper mine, it didn't belong to her in the first place, so Huo Yu wanted to take it, it was good to really take the initiative to dedicate it to the country, if she dared to open the mine privately, then she would have an extra handle in her hands, and maybe she could use this to blackmail the other party in the future.
