Chapter 7: Lovesickness (7)
Volume 12 Chapter 7 (7)
Where the husband's eyesight was out of reach, the middle-aged merchant slowed down while complaining that the concubine was too sick to take over the concubine from the already sweaty maid. Although the cabin of the Yu family's big ship is very spacious, there is still not much space to waste, the road between the cabins is quite narrow, barely allowing two stout men to walk opposite each other, the cabins facing each other on the left and right seem to have almost no difference, fortunately, the door is hung with a wooden sign numbered by the sexagenary branch, but for a moment, the man has found his cabin, and opened the hatch with the key of his own management, this is a first-class cabin, divided into two rooms inside and outside, all kinds of furniture and furnishings are readily available, the two bodyguards naturally cannot live with the host, except for a few guests who will book another room for their croniesMost of the samurai bodyguards would live in the Chase bunk in the rear cabin, so when the master entered the cabin, the two bodyguards continued to walk back under the guidance of the servants.
It didn't take long for the boat to set sail, although the Yangtze River was turbulent, but the ship was quite huge, the draft was extremely deep, so it was very stable, people could hardly feel the bumps, most of the guests who had worked hard all morning chose to rest in the room, the cabin was silent, and there was no one on the cabin. At this moment, the door opposite the middle-aged merchant opened silently, and a white-faced bearded young man carried an unconscious girl under his arm, and the scattered green silk covered the woman's face, making it difficult to distinguish. And this woman's outfit is exactly the same as Liu Niang, but under the cloak on the ground, her figure is as graceful as a weak willow, not as plump and attractive as Liu Niang. The young man only knocked lightly on the door twice, and the door suddenly opened, revealing the ordinary face of the tall maid, the young man did not hesitate to bow his head and enter the cabin of the merchant surnamed Qiao, and looked up, only to see the middle-aged businessman hurriedly holding Liu Niang, looking at himself with fear in his eyes. The young man smiled menacingly. But he ignored the merchant surnamed Qiao, and lightly carried the girl he was holding to the inner room, and then turned around and came out, and bowed deeply to the maid. He said in a low voice: "Miss, everything has been arranged, please show Miss." β
The maid smiled slightly, and her originally dull eyes suddenly brightened. As dazzling as the stars in the night sky, she stretched out her hand to gently brush the messy hair around her ear, and said in a cold and noble tone: "Do you still need my orders, you, the steward of the Nanmin Tianyi Fang, naturally go back to your cabin." Just waiting to return to Nanmin and hand over the silk brocade that he had painstakingly purchased to the owner. β
The young man smiled and said, "If the villain obeys the order, he will definitely live up to his mission." "Say it. Stretched out his hand and snatched the land Liu Niang from the hands of the merchant surnamed Qiao. Then he opened the door and left. The merchant's face turned red, and he grabbed the young man's shirt. He roared in a low voice: "No, you didn't say that you wanted Liu Niang to stay with other men, if you really want to do this, why don't you kill our husband and wife now." β
The young man sneered and said lightly: "You are old, and you still occupy such a young and beautiful little lady, presumably God will not be convinced when he sees it, but don't worry, unless your concubine is willing, I have no interest in the overlord to bow hard." β
Hearing the young man, the eyes of the businessman surnamed Qiao flashed with despair, and then turned into desperate madness, at this moment, the maid suddenly flicked her sleeves, and after a crisp sound, the white bearded young man's face was already red and swollen, but he was injured by the strong wind of the maid's sleeves, although the woman pretended to be a maid, her temperament was extremely arrogant, and she refused to have half a skin contact with the young man. Although he was slapped in the face, the young man not only did not have the slightest anger, but a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Seeing this, the middle-aged businessman's heart widened, but he only felt that his body was weak, and he no longer had any strength, and his knees could no longer support him, so he fell to his knees on the deck with a thud.
The maid's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and she looked at the young man, and said: "Blue Swallow, I know that you are lustful, and it is best to seduce a woman from a good family, but if you don't change your old habits today, I will never let you go, don't forget, if it wasn't for my subordinates to show mercy back then, you would have died a long time ago, if you dared to spoil my big things, I won't take your life, only abolish your bane, so that you can see it from now on, and you can't eat it." One more thing I want to ask you, that you should hide your sword in a satin box and bring it on board, and you didn't take the opportunity to slight her, did you?"
The young man stopped talking, a look of guilt flashed on his face, and the maid sneered when she saw this, and said, " You are so bold, fortunately, Jian Jue has been unconscious, if she knows that you dare to do something to her, I am afraid that I will take your life at all costs, you don't forget what her identity is as her lover, get out of here, if you dare to do it yourself, as long as I tell this matter, I don't know if you will be cut into seventeen or eighteen sections like Tang Shiyi, but don't blame me for not telling you, I heard that the dignified Yixing Marquis insulted Jian Jue a few words, and then he will be killed by the Demon Emperor on the spot. β
The young man was silent, not daring to raise his head to speak, the maid's eyes flashed with disgust, waved his hand, let the man leave on his own, the young man poked out first, saw that there was no one left and right, and then went back to his cabin happily, the merchant surnamed Qiao wanted not to allow it, but was blocked by the maid's cold gaze, and could only watch his concubine being taken by the young man, but although the merchant did not dare to make a sound, his eyes were full of anger when he looked at the maid.
The maid sneered: "Qiao Jun, don't look at me with this kind of eyes, if you anger me, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being greedy for money, the court and the princes of the three feudal domains have clear orders, tea, salt, Iron can not be traded privately, if your Qiao's tea is resold to Yizhou Tea and Horse Division in a regular manner, it has made a profit of more than ten times, but you are not greedy enough, and you dare to sell the entrained tea to the Qiang people and people, and commit the great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, if this matter is exposed by me, although the world is big, fornication and barbarianism, there is no place for you anymore, not to mention your beloved concubine, that is, your children, old wives, relatives and friends, don't want to get out of the relationship. Whether it is dead or alive, you can consider it yourself, hmph, if it is not for your concubine who is the most suitable as a shield, I will send a letter to the Han Palace, which is a hundred taels of gold and a heavy reward, why bother to keep your mouth shut? If you are smart, you are not allowed to leak
flawed, otherwise. Hmph!" Before the words fell, the maid had already walked into the inner room with a flick of her clothes, leaving only the pale Qiao Jun sitting alone on the cold deck.
The maid walked into the inner room. Walking to the side of the bed with his hands in his hand, his eyes fell on Qingping on the bed, and a smug light flashed in his eyes.
Qingping, who was in a coma, described as pale and thin as a pear blossom after the rain, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned. The green silk is scattered, and I really see pity, but the strong and unyielding color between the eyebrows has not diminished at all. The maid watched for a long time. Finally sighed, took out the golden needle from his sleeve, and connected nine needles on the second vein of Qingping Rendu. The last needle is pricked. Qingping suddenly moaned in her throat. After another moment, Qingping slowly opened her eyes.
It's only been two days. Qingping's originally bright eyes have been dimmed and irrelevant, and there are faint bloodshots, obviously she has suffered in the past two days, seeing the unfamiliar face of the maid, Qingping was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, and said coldly: "Li Huanyu, it's funny that you look like this, but I don't know how many people's eyes and ears you can hide?"
Li Huanyu pulled over a chair, stretched his arms unladylikely, then sat down, and said with a smile: "I have self-knowledge, if your lover arrives here, I will definitely not hide his eyes, but it's a pity that he is not here, I waited on the shore for half an hour, until I confirmed that the Demon Emperor really appeared at the Qian Bei banquet in Xinting, and then boarded the passenger ship of the Yu family's east, from now on, the county lord has escaped, you don't want to get any rescue, or carefully consider whether to agree to my conditions." β
Qingping's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said coldly: "You mean we are on the Yu family's boat?"
Li Huanyu nodded and said with a smile: " That Yu Xiufu is really infatuated, that day desperately to protect you is not counted, today is still dragging the sick body, lest you be taken on his ship, if he finds out about you, I am afraid that he will be desperate to rescue you, but unfortunately he will never find out my Li Dai Tao's stiff plan, I will take a good look at your land along the way, you don't want to shout for help, I'm afraid that your physical strength is not enough to let your shouts out of the cabin, if I find out that you have the possibility of escaping, hehe, tell you, at this moment your identity is a merchant and concubine, I will let him be your veritable husbandγ β
Qingping heard this, her eyebrows were upside down, her right hand flipped over, and the two fingers in the food pointed at Li Huanyudi's eyes, this move "two dragons to win pearls" Extremely ruthless, Li Huanyu was caught off guard, he didn't expect Qingping to resist, he turned his head to avoid Qingping's moves, but Qingping's sharp nails had already drawn a bloody mark on Li Huanyu's cheeks, but unfortunately Qingping's internal strength had already been unsustainable, and the second move had not yet been used, and Li Huanyu's wrist had been locked, Li Huanyu was angry in his heart, his hand was tight, Qingping's wrist squeaked, Qingping only felt that the hand bones were painful, but she refused to exhale the pain, just stared at Li Huanyu resentfully, and the surging anger spread in her eyes. The two looked at each other and confronted each other for a long time, although Qingping was poisoned and injured, and her spirit was lost, but the innate indomitable arrogance was all stimulated, and under the pressure of Li Huanyu's complete dominance, she did not lose half a point.
Li Huanyu has always been arrogant and conceited, but at this moment he has to be discouraged, knowing that he will never be able to convince this woman on the way, he can't help but sigh lightly, let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "That's it, Miss Qingping, I'm just joking with you, these two days, even if I torture you, I try not to hurt your body, let alone humiliate you, Huanyu's intentions, don't you understand? As long as you keep to yourself along the way, I won't stun you, I performed the "Nine Needles of the Soul" on you It can reduce a person's life consumption to a minimum, close to the state of turtle breath hibernation, even if you fall asleep all the way, it is easy, but you have been poisoned by 'Acacia', if it goes on like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to get off the boat alive, Miss is for the sake of her own life, so don't embarrass me. β
The anger in Qingping's eyes dimmed inch by inch, and it took a long time before she said lightly: "The county lord is indeed very kind to Qingping, the acacia poison is in the bones, and the golden needle punctures the acupoint to extract a confession, but he has not insulted me. If you want to use a needle, just use it, I promise you not to kill yourself, not because I am afraid that you will be humiliated, but I am not worried about Zijing, but it is not that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, to tell you the truth, because my sister and I are both women, I once passed on a kind of mental method to us, as long as there is still a breath of air, you can cut off your heart, if it was a month ago, even if you used all the means of prevention, you could not stop me from bent on death. It's just that although I don't kill myself, it doesn't mean that I have to obey you in order to survive, and I will never agree to your request. If you don't want to control my acupuncture, keep an eye on me all the time, and if you find me a chance to escape, I will never let it go. β
Li Huanyu sighed: "Miss Qingping, why are you so troubled, don't I know that you will definitely run away, what does it matter if you lie to me, it's just a good rest." With that, a light cigarette popped out of her sleeve, spraying on Qingping's face, Qingping felt the familiar sleepiness strike again, she had already guessed in the past two days, the sleepiness that often surged up in the past few days was caused by this smoke. But at this moment, she is absolutely unwilling to sleep, trying to open her eyes and look at the closed porthole, outside the window is the freedom she has longed for for a long time, she really does not want this only life to slip away from her hands like this, but she can't open her mouth, perfunctory Li Huanyu, just because she can struggle to survive in the hands of Li Huanyu, all with a proud and unyielding heart, if you have a different mind, I am afraid that the shrewd and terrible woman will find a flaw, break through their own heart defense, once the soul is lost, it is their own death, although they know "Acacia." "It is highly poisonous to the bones, but Qingping still has the last glimmer of hope, which is to die in the arms of her beloved, otherwise she will not be able to turn a blind eye when she dies.
When Qingping closed her eyes unwillingly, the last thing that came to her mind was still Zi Jing's cold and lonely figure, whether the enemy Zi Jing was facing at this moment was more terrible than the one in front of him, could he get out safely, maybe even if she didn't have the poison of "lovesickness" in her body, the omnipresent lovesickness would have already penetrated into the bone marrow.
