Ye Huawan, who was new from the drunken dream, had a splitting headache. He bared his teeth and cursed himself for drinking recklessly, while looking around blankly.
The place we were in seemed to be an abandoned warehouse, with many sacks piled together, giving off a vague smell of moldy grain. Because there was only a very small ventilation window on the wall, the light in the house was not very good, so I could barely see around me.
thing.
Ye Huawan moved a little, and as expected, her hands and feet were tied. Fortunately, the ties were not too tight, and her hands and feet did not feel numb.
The smell of alcohol in his mouth made Ye Huawan extremely disgusted. Recalling his act of forcing himself to drink after being provoked at the inn, he regretted it again and again. At the same time, he could not help but tremble in the dark. Among the people he met at the inn that day
She knew two of them, they were elders who often came to Yiye Villa when her father was still alive. Since they were acquaintances, why did they get themselves drunk and imprison them here?
It's cold and dark here, so scary...
The sound of opening the door frightened Ye Huawan, and he huddled up subconsciously. A ray of light came in, and then a burly figure walked in. Looking through the dim light, it was one of the two elders Ye Huawan knew.
"Young Master, are you awake?" The man was about forty years old, and he spoke politely, "Are you hungry? Come, let's drink some meat porridge first."
Ye Huawan turned his head and pretended to be bold and snorted: "Don't eat it! Who knows what kind of poison you have poisoned!"
"Oh my young master, how dare I poison you? Don't you believe me, I'll take a few bites first?" After saying that, the man actually scooped up a spoonful of porridge and was about to put it into his mouth, but Ye Hua swallowed it late.
She kept trying to stop her, but after the man untied the rope from her wrist, he grabbed the porridge bowl and wolfed it down.
"Slow down, slow down, be careful not to burn it! Don't worry, no one will compete with you, there is still something in the pot!"
After eating two large bowls in one go, Ye Huawan finally put down the bowl and burped, patted his belly with satisfaction, and still looked at the man warily: "It's okay to be attentive, tsk."
"...Haha, the young master's sharp tongue has not changed!"
Ye Huawan was too lazy to chat with the man, and his sharp eyes were as sharp as swords, which made the man sweat with embarrassment. The most important thing for a person in the world is righteousness. In Ye Huawan's view, as a regular customer, he designed to bully her.
"Weak girl" is unjust, and good looks should not be rewarded.
They stared at each other for a long time. When the man heard someone shouting outside the room, he hesitated for a moment, then tied Ye Huawan's hands and patted his shoulders gently: "The second master of Qiaojiazhai is coming soon."
, we have to work hard for the Young Villa Master to come forward. Some things are not what we thought. We will explain to the Young Villa Master later on what we have done. Now, please Young Villa Master, please feel aggrieved."
Ye Huawan didn't hear what the man said at all. When she heard the words "Second Head of Qiaojiazhai", the girl had already lost her ability to think. She couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
That idiot actually came after her. Didn't he pretend that he didn't care about her? Why didn't he just pretend to the end?
Lian Lian's infatuation could not stop what was about to happen. Ye Hua Wan was blindfolded and thrown on the horse. Someone forced a pill into her mouth. It was bitter and astringent. Soon after it dissolved in her mouth, she felt all over her body.
Fatigue is probably not a good thing.
However, what worries Ye Huawan the most is not his own safety, but the conversation he overheard while the horse was jolting.
"We're almost catching up, right?"
"Well, we haven't kept a long distance, so we have to get there quickly."
"The effect of the medicine has almost taken effect. Let the brothers from behind lead the second master of Qiaojiazhai over. Remember not to fight with him. Just lead him to the agreed place after us."
"Then keep an eye on this girl. I'll go back and give you instructions first."
One of the people who was responsible for leading Ye Huawan to run away on horseback, and the one who stayed behind sped up. The cold wind blowing across her face made the tip of Ye Huawan's nose turn red, and there were unstoppable tears in her eyes. She didn't know what she would do.
When she was taken there, she didn't know what outcome was waiting for her, but she could clearly understand the conversation between the two. It was obvious that these people had another purpose in arresting her, which was to lead Zhan Ting into a trap.
In the palace, Zhan Ting was just a little-known head guard. In the world of martial arts, he had been known as the "Jiu Yaksha" for many years. On the day Qiao Qingxu was killed, he even took off his three-handled short sword.
The sword turned into a fierce ghost and killed nearly a hundred people, causing the wind to scream and the long street to be stained with blood.
It is difficult to deal with such a person, but he is stupid, honest, and not good at scheming, so the best way to deal with him is to ambush. Ye Huawan does not want to become Zhan Ting's weakness under any circumstances, and can't stop imagining in his mind
Seeing Zhan Ting's body covered in blood, he felt a deep chill in his heart.
If someone had to die to calm things down, then she chose to let him live.
"Woo - Wu -" On the violently bumpy horseback, Ye Huawan suddenly began to move irritably. The man on the horse was upset by her, and raised his hand to hit Xue's neck. Ye Huawan fainted with stars in his eyes.
In the past, before I closed my eyes, a large tear fell to the ground along with something.
Half an hour later, this thing was firmly in Zhan Ting's hand.
"The name of the leaf was chosen by me, doesn't it sound good? You see, it comes from this jade pendant - Lin Feng drunken flower late, one of my favorite poems."
Qiao Qingxu, who is not good at poetry, only likes this sentence, "Lin Feng is drunk and flowers are late."
So Ye Huawan has been carrying a flower-shaped jade pendant given by Qiao Qingxu since she was a child. Half of it is bright red and half of it is orange, just like a late flower dyed by the sunset, waiting to wither. This is what Ye Huawan cherishes the most. If she can
Okay, I am determined not to lose such an important thing.
I don't know if it was due to the setting sun in the west, but a faint red color appeared in Zhan Ting's eyes, cold and majestic, painful and unwilling.
Qiao Qingxu is no longer here. The cheerful woman who silently followed him through countless dangers died because of him. Now, will even Ye Huawan have to do the same? He was obviously trying his best to avoid her, why is he still hurting her?
Put her in danger? She said she wanted to protect him in Qiao Qingxu's place. Why did she just not understand his worries and insist on walking the same path that Qiao Qingxu had walked and make him miserable again?
He doesn't need her to protect him, he just wants to protect her.
The cold wind blew through the vast grassy fields, and the horses galloped at an incredible speed. No one in the deserted land noticed that the three daggers on the waist of the horse driver had been unhooked.
Before the sun sets over the western mountains, a quiet and windless valley is greeted by a strong murderous aura. Several men sitting near the dilapidated bamboo house can feel the coldness from a long distance away. They all turn around and stare at the sudden intrusion of the war with fearful eyes.
Zhan Ting didn't care at all that he was alone. He turned his eyes and saw the quiet figure of the girl reflected in the dark pupils.
He seemed to be asleep, but his face was extremely pale.
