Chapter 11: Hunters and Prey
Tan Ling looked at the calm girl in front of her and shuddered suddenly.
I thought that the other party was the prey, but who knew that she was the hunter?
The husband and wife of the big house, her inconspicuous concubine, and the dead Yongting Marquis, are all the prey of this person in front of them, right?
The other party just cooperated to drill the trap, and all of them, the people who fell into the trap, fell into the trap.
Thinking about the cause and effect, Tan Ling's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and physiological tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Tan Yun glanced at her strangely, and said to Qiao Fei Nunu: "Sister Kite, what's wrong with her?" β
Qiao Yuanfei smiled dotingly: "Xu knows some things that shouldn't be known, and is he a little scared?" β
β¦β¦
The mountain road was bumpy, but Qiao Yuanfei's carriage was covered with a thick enough blanket, and it was not affected all the way.
Qiao Yuanfei had already fallen asleep because of a fever.
Tan Yun also fell asleep, only Tan Ling was covered in cold sweat and had no sleepiness.
The carriage entered the city, and Qiao Yuanfei came to his senses.
Hearing the cries of street vendors, she lifted the curtain and looked out, just in time to meet a pair of cold eyes.
The man was riding on a tall horse, and the morning sun fell on his shoulders, shining the cold and sharp armor on his body, as if he was about to cut people out of blood at the slightest moment.
Qiao Yuanfei looked at it intently, but the other party just glanced at her quickly, and immediately withdrew his gaze.
Tan Yun also happened to wake up, and when she saw Qiao Yuan flying out to look, she also turned over with interest.
When she saw the man right away, she muttered, "Who is this man?" How is the beard on the face? β
Qiao Yuanfei put down the curtain and chuckled: "I don't know, I see that this line is not from Dali Temple, but from the Twelve Guards." β
As soon as she heard Dali Temple, Tan Yun reflexively shrunk.
Last night, Zhao Yuan led people to arrest the assassins and turned Wan'an Temple upside down.
Although Tan Yun didn't see it with her own eyes, she heard the people below say that the six relatives of Zhao Shizi didn't recognize him, so he drew his knife when he saw someone. His fiancΓ©e, Miss Lu, was still in the meditation room, and she was also forced out of the house for questioning.
I heard that Miss Lu was still angry and cried.
In such a comparison, Tan Yun felt that it was not unusual for Zhao Yuan to force his cousin to hit the pillar.
What about that man......
A long time ago, he was a murderer who didn't blink.
The carriage drove into the east of the city and soon arrived at the side gate of Tanfu.
Tan Ling kept hugging her arms in the corner, trembling and not knowing what she was thinking.
Qiao Yuanfei didn't pay much attention.
She knows very well that Tan Ling is a smart person, and there is no need to remind a smart person what choice a smart person should make.
The carriage finally arrived at the door, and the people in front of it were already getting off.
When Qiao Yuanfei tidied up her dress and was about to get up, Tan Ling suddenly knelt in front of her with a "plop".
"Cousin, please save me!"
Tan Yun was taken aback, and looked at Qiao Yuanfei a little helplessly.
Qiao Yuanfei paused, looked at Tan Ling for a long time, and then sat back down.
"How do you want me to save you?"
Tan Ling burst into tears and choked up: "When I go back home today, my mother will definitely punish me......"
Qiao Yuanfei shook his head: "The matter involves the uncle, but it is not just a punishment." β
Tan Ling was even more scared, and kowtowed to Qiao Yuanfei again and again: "I want to live, I don't want to die, cousin save me." β
"Save you." Qiao Yuanfei pulled her up, met those timid eyes, and asked softly, "What did the Wang family promise you?" β
Tan Ling's eyes were a little fluttering: "She...... She said that after the matter was completed, she would marry me to the Yongting Marquis Mansion as a stepmother. β
She is seventeen years old, and the third girl, Tan Wan, is about to say that she is a good person, but she is going to be dragged into an old girl.
The Wang family took care of her marriage, either letting her be a concubine for a nobleman, or going to be a steproom for a widower.
Since they are all steprooms, why can't she be Mrs. Hou?
It was this ambition that made her provoke Qiao Yuanfei and fall into a place of no return today.
Tan Ling regretted it in her heart.
Qiao Yuanfei had already guessed it, but he didn't care, but smiled and groaned: "What's so good about the old and decrepit people of Yongting Houren, I'll let you marry the eldest prince as a side concubine, okay?" β
Tan Ling looked up in shock, obviously a little incredulous.
But looking at Qiao Yuanfei's calm gaze, she felt ......
This is not a dream.
"That'...... What does my cousin want me to do? β
Qiao Yuanfei squinted her eyes, and her voice was gentle: "Don't worry, I'll tell you in a few days." β
