That night, Sun and Huang finished their "deal" with their concubine, drank for a few more rounds, and then went back to the inn.
The poison administered by Huang Donglai had undoubtedly not yet taken effect when they returned.
But after they left, it began to take effect...
This poison is one of the strange poisons recorded in Gu Qiying's notes. It has a particularly vulgar name, "Ecstasy Powder".
People who take this ecstasy powder will not experience any abnormality for a while, but after an hour or two, the poisoned person will begin to feel unbearable hotness and uncontrollable lust, and then the person will desperately want to
Go find someone to "vent".
Next is the best part of this poison. If the poisoned person cannot find anyone to "vent", for example, if the person is locked in a secret room with only him/herself, he/she can only rely on
If he/she takes care of the "thing" himself/herself, he/she will be fine.
However, if he/she can find someone to vent to, once he/she starts doing things, within a few moments, he/she will die suddenly during exercise due to the concentration of blood flow throughout the body to the lower body, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart.
The death condition... was exactly the same as that of a person who died suddenly due to cardiac arrest due to excessive sexual intercourse.
No matter whether you look for a yamen clerk or an expert in the martial arts world to investigate, you will come to the same conclusion. No one can tell that he died of poisoning.
In other words, no matter how much you doubt it, the "facts" can only prove that it was an accident and a coincidence.
Therefore, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were quite sure of being exonerated. They had even thought about how to pretend to be shocked and innocent when the concubine's men came to investigate afterwards.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, people came.
How the concubine's men entered the inn at such a time, and how they woke up Sun and Huang, I won't go into details.
In short, when they were ugly, these two people put on their clothes again and were "invited" from the inn back to Qiliu Youlan again.
At this moment, it was not the madam who came to receive them, but one of the concubine's men.
The two of them were directly invited to a strange room. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the naked concubine lying straight on the ground. The color on his face had long gone, and his body was covered with a piece of cloth.
Not even covered.
"Ah? What's going on?" Huang Donglai gave a very surprised reaction when he saw the corpse.
"Brother, the concubine is... dead?" Sun Yixie also looked at the concubine's men and asked nonsense.
Watching the performance of these two people, the brother didn't say anything, he just stood there and watched coldly.
Not long after, another person walked out from the back room of this room.
When this person appeared, Sun and Huang were really shocked, because this person... was still a concubine.
He looked exactly like the body lying on the ground.
Of course, there is only one real concubine, and there is no doubt that he is the one who is still alive; as for the one who has expired on the ground...or the one who drank with Shuangxie and negotiated with Zhu Jiaduan today,
It was obvious that he was just a stand-in; he was the one who was summoned by the true concubine when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai first arrived at Qiliu Youlan and asked to "act as planned".
"Do you need to think about it again?" The concubine looked at Sun Huang and asked.
"Eh? Brother Shu, you're not dead!" At this moment, Sun Yixie suddenly raised his voice and rushed over with a face of joy, "Hahaha! That's great!"
"Hey, you kid..." I quickly raised my hand to stop Brother Sun from approaching, and said with a look of disgust, "...can you show off a little bit? After all this, you still want to fish in troubled waters?"
Even Huang Donglai cast a sidelong glance at Sun Yixie: "Brother Sun, it's already been proven that he's a member of the gang. Do you really think he's mentally retarded?"
When Sun Yixie saw that the concubine was not fooled, he curled his lips: "Oh, it doesn't cost any money to try it, so forget it..."
The concubine laughed dryly: "Ha... you two..." He shook his head and said, "Okay, come with me."
With that said, he put his hands behind his hands, held his head high and walked out of the house.
His subordinate looked at Sun and Huang and said, "Please." This meant asking them to follow the concubine.
At this point, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai have no other choice. Since their murderous intentions have been seen through and resolved, they can only be controlled by others.
The two of them followed behind the concubine, and soon they arrived at their destination - Yajianer with the name "Dong".
Sun Yixi thought he was going to be bad: Could it be that the concubine wanted to go to Chu Xue and Shui Sheng to settle the score because they messed up while playing?
Just as he was thinking this, the concubine had already opened the door.
The three of them entered the room and found that Chuxue and Shuisheng were already in the room. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. However, Chuxue's little maid was not there. She must have been sent away.
The concubine's subordinate did not follow him, but waited outside the house. So after closing the door, there were only five people left in the room: Chu Xue, Shui Sheng, the concubine, Sun Yixie, and Huang Donglai.
"Don't sit down, just stand and listen to me." The master looked like the dean of the Academic Affairs Office who called the students to the office. As he said this, he found a stool to sit on.
"I am a very fair person." My uncle's thoughts were clear, so he said without thinking much after sitting down, "If I owe others, I will pay it back, but if others owe me
, I will definitely take it back." He glanced at Chu Xue, "You'd better make it clear that the way I am raising and keeping this woman now... has nothing to do with Shuisheng. I am doing this only because in the future
One day, I plan to take her as my concubine... Her father owes me this, and she has to pay it back."
Listening to his words, Chuxue and Shuisheng both had expressions of despair and pain on their faces, but neither of them dared to interrupt.
"It's natural for men to admire lust and for women to admire strength." The uncle said, "Do you think I keep Shui Sheng because I like to torture him? Or to blackmail him into doing things for me? Do I lack someone like him under my command?
"Human?" He paused, asked and answered, "I agreed to let Shuisheng be a turtle slave here, just to show Xueer that this kind of man who is willing to give up his dignity for the sake of a woman is not called a man at all.
, and far from worthy of her."
"He's better than you..." At this time, Xue'er muttered something in a low voice, the second half of which was so quiet that no one heard it.
When the concubine heard the sound, he turned to stare at her: "What are you talking about? It doesn't matter if you speak louder."
At this moment, Chuxue was also willing to risk everything. She took a deep breath and looked into the eyes of the concubine: "In my opinion, Shuisheng is thousands of times better than you! Ten thousand times!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who were watching from the side, also felt worried for her.
The face of the concubine also changed color. He hesitated for a moment because of this, and then he snorted coldly: "Ha... I thought you were a smart woman, but I didn't expect..." His hand didn't move.
He clenched his fists consciously, "Then let me ask you...what do you think this man who is tens of millions of times stronger than me has done for you so far?" He paused for half a second and spoke eloquently.
He said, "When I took you away from home, he was severely injured by my men. It was you who knelt down and begged me to save his life.
"After he recovered from his injuries, he came to Qiliu Youlan penniless, kowtowed and begged me to let you go. It was your repeated requests that made me not send him away, but let him be a pawn here.
A turtle slave.
"When Zheng Mu came, he took action to protect you, but what happened next? Because he was afraid of trouble, Shaozhi involved unrelated people like Sun Shaoxia and Huang Shaoxia, which ended up causing even greater trouble...
…
"Besides, now that I'm scolding him in person like this, he doesn't even dare to fart, and he still needs you to speak up for him..."
What he said was true. Shuisheng couldn't speak back, and Xueer couldn't speak back either.
"So what do you see in him? Just because he treats you wholeheartedly?" My uncle has not yet finished his words, "But you have to understand that with your looks and talents, there are many people in this world who are willing to be so kind to you.
, there is nothing outstanding about him, and he may not be suitable for you."
Having said this, the concubine turned to look at Shui Sheng and continued: "Shui Sheng, let me ask you something... Do you really think that someone like you is capable of protecting a beauty like Xue'er?
Can you afford it?"
In fact, he didn't need to ask this question. Everyone present already had the answer in their minds.
"I...I..." Veins were visible on Shuisheng's head, and his whole body was trembling. The words were on his lips, but he couldn't say them out.
Because if he said it, he would lose everything, even the meaning of living.
"Sun Shaoxia, Huang Shaoxia." The concubine did not wait for Shuisheng's answer at all. After he finished what he wanted to say, he turned directly to Sun and Huang and said, "You two, I still admire you...
...Lei Buji is your brother, and you came to visit me in Qiliu Youlan for him because of friendship; but Xue'er and Shuisheng have nothing to do with you, and in order to stand up for them, you actually have the guts to plot against me...
…This is chivalrous, but…”
He had just finished speaking when something unexpected happened.
But then, Xue'er, who was standing in the blind spot of the concubine's sight, suddenly took out a pair of sharp scissors from her sleeve and raised it high...
"Hello!"
"useless!"
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were facing that direction. When they saw this scene, their first reaction was that Miss Xueer was going to attack the concubine, so they quickly shouted to stop her.
However...
The scissors in Xue'er's hand didn't go towards the concubine at all...
She went towards her face.
In the blink of an eye, Xue'er had made several deep and long cuts on her face.
Shui Sheng, who was closest to her, was in a daze due to the concubine's words, and it took him a few seconds to react. So when he took the scissors from Xue'er's hand, it was already too late...
A large amount of blood suddenly flowed down Chuxue's face, neck, and wrists. There were at least four or five irreparable and shocking scars cut on her jade-like cheeks and forehead.
"Xue'er!" Shui Sheng roared, hugging the already limp Xue'er.
When the concubine turned around and saw this scene, he was also shocked and lost his composure; he thought that what he just said had "sealed the coffin" for the two people and made them give up, but he did not expect... Xueer's will and determination were far away.
Not as fragile as he thought.
"You..." The concubine also stood up and took two steps towards Xue'er. Looking at the disfigured beauty with blood all over her face, he also had mixed feelings in his heart, "Why are you doing this?"
…”
But Xueer smiled, even a little proudly: "Master, you are right, I am just a stupid woman, and now I am even a stupid and ugly woman... So, now I should be a good match for Shuisheng.
Already."
The concubine's expression froze, and he even took half a step back unconsciously.
Before today, he actually didn't like Xue'er very much. He just felt that it was natural for such a stunning beauty to be the concubine of a strong man like himself; but at this moment, he fell in love with this person who had been
A disfigured woman, he felt that it would be a great blessing to marry such a woman.
"Alas...what a pity..." After a moment, the concubine sighed.
At first glance, he seemed to feel sorry for Xueer's behavior of disfigurement, but in fact he meant something else.
"Take her away." After sighing, the concubine said to Shui Sheng, "You don't owe me anything anymore. Get away as far as you want, and don't let me see you again."
Even if he didn't say anything, Shui Sheng was going to go to the doctor with Xue'er in his arms, so before he finished speaking, Shui Sheng picked up Xue'er and ran out the door.
"Don't stop them, let them go." When Shui Sheng opened the door, the concubine shouted to the waiting man outside the door, asking him to make way for them.
After that day, Qiliu Youlan's number one "Chu Xue" disappeared, and no one in the world had seen or heard from her anymore.
Of course, this is what she and Shui Sheng expected.
After the two people left and the door was closed again by the subordinate, the concubine sat down again.
He stared at the remaining blood stains on the carpet, feeling a little lost.
After a while, it was Huang Donglai's flattery that made him come back to his senses: "Master Shu is worthy of being a good man among men, a humble gentleman, I admire him..."
"Brother, I am also very impressed by my concubine's noble character and integrity, and I am willing to be inferior." Sun Yixie also joined in time.
The concubine raised his eyes to look at Sun Huang, and after a while he replied in a deep voice: "You two... why did you say that?"
"The beauty of a gentleman's adult life is that a villain steals people's love." Huang Donglai said, "Since the concubine would rather give up love than marry Xue'er and Shui Sheng, he must be a great gentleman."
Both he and Sun Yixie could see through what happened just now. The only difference was that Sun Yixie could not express these meanings in such a literary tone like Brother Huang.
"Hmph..." I finally smiled again, but there was a hint of bitterness in the smile, "You two really don't look like you are seventeen or eighteen years old with your character and calculations..."
People like Shu Ye cannot show their feelings easily; when he doesn't like Xue'er, he doesn't like it, but just because he likes it... he wants to help others, and then the bitterness in his heart will cause him to
Carry.
Now that someone can understand his painstaking efforts, this not only makes me feel a little comforted, but also makes him feel a little murderous...
He is such a contradictory person. Most of the time he seems to be extremely evil, but sometimes he is like a Bodhisattva and is extremely generous and kind.
"My concubine, thank you." Huang Donglai said, "The world is dangerous, and my two brothers are just cautious in everything and thinking too much."
Sun Yixie also said: "That's right, compared with the concubine's calculations, we are just small in comparison to the big witch, haha... Okay, it's getting late. Now that everything has been resolved, the concubine must really want to go.
Let’s have a few drinks alone to relieve the depression. We won’t bother you and let’s go first...”
He talked to himself and walked towards the door, wanting to fish in troubled waters.
"Don't leave in a hurry!" Unexpectedly, the next second, the concubine's voice suddenly became louder, and the expression on his face returned to his usual calm and domineering appearance, "One code will be the same... The three of us
The accounts between them have not yet been settled."
