After being silent for a long time, Zhan Jingyi seemed to have figured out something. He cheered himself up, looked up at Weng Xiaoyue and said, "How can I get there? Enter from the City of Ice and Glass?"
Weng Xiaoyue looked at him and didn't answer for a long time. Then, she suddenly stood up and strode away.
Just when Zhan Jingyi felt a little strange, he saw her walking back again, followed by a big man holding an old wooden box in his hand.
Arriving outside the tent where Zhan Jingyi was, the big man put the wooden box on the ground, bowed low to Weng Xiaoyue, then turned and left.
When Weng Xiaoyue opened the box, a strong aroma of wine hit her nostrils. There were a row of six wine bottles inside the box. Each bottle was filled with golden wine, shining with a charming light. .
The alluring aroma that comes out when you open the box is a mixture of fruity, malty and oak aromas. The aroma is alluring and makes people want to taste it.
Weng Xiaoyue picked up a bottle of liquid golden wine. She tried to unscrew the bottle, but because her fingers were injured, she couldn't exert her strength at all. So she looked up at Zhan Jingyi and handed the bottle back.
"Um……"
Zhan Jingyi glanced at her injured finger and said a little puzzled: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Weng Xiaoyue didn't speak, just looked at him, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak a thousand words.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Jingyi couldn't help but persuade her that she couldn't drink because she was injured, so he silently pulled out the wooden stopper for her. There were two cups in the box. He took them out, poured two cups, and pushed one of them to Weng. Satsuki.
Weng Xiaoyue took the wine glass and took a sip of wine. She coughed dryly and suddenly looked at Lu Xin and said, "What do you think of me?"
"Um??"
What does this sentence mean? ? Zhan Jingyi was immediately wary. After a while, he said: "...It's pretty good."
"Ah……"
Weng Xiaoyue sneered and said, "What? Am I not beautiful? I see you are in trouble, so tell the truth."
"this……"
Zhan Jingyi was silent for a moment, then said, "I've thought about it seriously, and it's really good."
"I feel pretty good about myself too."
Weng Xiaoyue smiled and said: "I have an older brother at home. My parents have old-fashioned ideas and always wanted me to be a lady and get married when I was old... I am lucky to live in such a family. , which is also my misfortune.”
"Although I am a woman, I will not lose to a man in a fight, and I can shoot better than most men... You are an exception. When I was twenty, my parents wanted me to marry the current Lord of Heiwang City. I don’t agree, even to death!”
"I said that I must choose my own man. Later, in order to prove that I am no worse than other men, I can also expand the territory of Heiwang City like other men, so I came here and established Xiaoweng Town. Here Although it is small, it is indeed my dependence, and it is precisely because I am here that I can temporarily break away from the family and resist the city lord's proposal."
"But now that Xiaoweng Town is destroyed, it will definitely be even more difficult to rebuild. Moreover, the Reincarnation Sect has suffered such a big loss here, and it has also been revealed that they have monsters. It is even more impossible to rebuild Xiaoweng Town. So, according to the family’s opinion, I may be forced to marry the city lord when I return to Heiwang City this time.”
"Because, only in this way can Xiaoweng Town be destroyed and the city lord not use it as an excuse to cause trouble for my family..."
Zhan Jingyi listened to her words quietly and thought carefully. He did not expect that Weng Xiaoyue, who seemed carefree, had so many unknown things behind her.
…
Having said this, Weng Xiaoyue paused for a moment, looked up at Zhan Jingyi, and said, "Do you want to go to that magical city under the City of Ice and Glass??"
Zhan Jingyi was startled for a moment and said hurriedly: "Yes, I want to go, because you also said that only there can I learn about the injection."
"Okay, I think it's okay..."
Weng Xiaoyue continued slowly: "But I have a condition... If you agree, I will help you get in there."
"Um?"
Zhan Jingyi's thoughts were confused by her sudden question. He was silent for a while, drank a glass of wine, and said, "Just tell me."
"it's actually really easy."
Weng Xiaoyue sighed lowly, took another sip of wine, and said: "It's really simple, just help me refuse this marriage..."
"Because I don't want to be like an ordinary woman and just marry someone I don't love..."
This time, Zhan Jingyi fell into silence for a long time, drinking silently, while Weng Xiaoyue didn't say anything, and drank silently with him.
One bottle, two bottles, three bottles, and soon the three bottles of wine were all gone, and both of them were a little tipsy.
Weng Xiaoyue put her arms around Zhan Jingyi's neck, looked at him with drunken eyes and said, "Do you know why I don't want to marry him? He is a waste, a waste who only knows how to live and drink. If his family didn't control the dark side, For the city defense force in Wangcheng, how could someone let such a bastard who has no shortage of wine, sex, and wealth be the city lord?"
After saying this, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Do you know what will happen if I marry him?"
Zhan Jingyi was also a little drunk. He thought about it seriously and said softly: "I generally know."
A strange smile appeared on Weng Xiaoyue's face, as if she was a little excited, her breathing was slightly quickened, her eyes were bright, and she said: "He just uses me as a tool to contact my family. I marry him, and for him He said this just to bring my family closer to him... to make my brother more loyal to him, and I will only be a political victim in this."
"I just couldn't give it in, so I begged my brother and my father to let me come to Xiaoweng Town and give it a try. If I could really make something here, then my value would be more than just a woman, but I didn't expect it. …”
As Weng Xiaoyue talked, she poured wine as hard as she could, and told bit by bit, her expressions became richer and richer, but her mood became lower and lower, and even her voice became duller and duller.
…
"I'm not convinced."
At this time, Weng Xiaoyue, who was as drunk as a dream, said softly: "I have been very strong since I was a child, and I have never thought that I am worse than others... I will definitely not be willing to be used as a plaything by a bastard man like this, and I will never give in. "
I don't know if she noticed it, but a strange smile appeared on her face at this time: "So, even if you don't agree to it, I will not become the plaything of that bastard city lord. Since he wants me... ...Then I can destroy her..."
"If he wants me, then give me to him, nothing more than a corpse!"
"In this way, I can use myself to repay my parents for their kindness in giving birth to me..."
"Ha ha……"
Drunk-eyed Weng Xiaoyue covered her mouth and laughed, with some gloating on her face: "I can even think of his expression when he saw my corpse at that time. This is really the happiest thing for me in the past few years..."
Zhan Jingyi remained silent and looked at Weng Xiaoyue while drinking. He did not expect that this seemingly carefree Wengzhu would be so stressed inside.
When she stopped laughing, was happy, and fell silent, Zhan Jingyi frowned slightly and said, "Don't your family members know about your thoughts?"
Weng Xiaoyue, who seemed to be drunk and infatuated, glanced sideways at Zhan Jingyi and said with a wry smile: "How should I tell them??"
"Should I tell them that I am prepared to die to repay their kindness in raising me? Do you think that will help solve the current problem?"
Seeing Zhan Jingyi's thoughtful silence, Weng Xiaoyue sighed softly, held a bottle of wine, and said: "I actually don't expect you to help me. After all, you are only one person. He is City Lord, a city needs tens of thousands of soldiers at least, which you cannot compete with, so you don’t need to take it seriously..."
"I can also see that you are a capable person, but it is obvious that the problems I encountered are not something you can solve."
After saying that, Weng Xiaoyue shook her head slightly and said: "Originally, I didn't know how to repay your life-saving grace, and to be honest, I didn't know how to get there, maybe unless I became the city lord... …”
"But I can use my body to thank you. I've made it clear now, as long as you dare to ask..."
Seeing her holding the wine bottle and looking at him with drunken eyes, Zhan Jingyi remained silent and didn't speak. Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Weng Xiaoyue smiled to herself and stood up a little staggeringly, as if she wanted to leave.
