061 Gao family's daughter
It was already midnight when we arrived at Jinniu Town.
The mayor's youngest son's full-moon wine party had already been empty, and the street was quiet and elegant, with no one in sight.
Eleven's heart felt like a huge piece of lead, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
She checked carefully in the town, and it wasn't until dawn that she saw a sword mark and some blood stains on a roadside tree on the only way into the town.
The sword mark was one that Eleven was familiar with. It was made by Xiao Qi's narrow sword.
Although the blood stains have dried, it can be seen that they were freshly applied.
Eleven's feet softened, and he felt like the world was spinning. He was holding on to the tree trunk with one hand, feeling a painful pain in his chest.
It was indeed a trick.
Xiao Shiqi is too sharp and the Yan army cannot accommodate him. It is inevitable for Marquis Pingyang to trap him and get rid of him.
Riding a horse, he searched through the streets and alleys of Jinniu Town. There was no sign of Xiao Qi anywhere.
Feeling cold in her heart, she shook her head to keep herself awake.
Since Xiao Qi meets Pingyang Hou's people, there are three outcomes: one is to escape, the other is to be captured by Pingyang Hou, and the third is to die.
Maybe he can escape, maybe he has escaped back to the snake country.
Eleven hurried back with a glimmer of hope.
I knew early on that as a dead soldier, I could die at any time.
I thought I had already calmed down.
But at this moment, all he could think about was Xiao Qi's rogue, shameless, yet childish smile.
He also thought about Xiao Qi’s life-and-death love for each other these days.
I really can't describe how anxious I feel, I just want to beat the horse into the air.
When he arrived at the door of the small house where Xiao Qi lived, he jumped off his horse before the horse could stop, and pushed open the wooden door. Only lifeless loneliness came to him.
Eleven turned pale and headed towards the dead soldier's barracks.
None of the sixteen dead soldiers who acted with him returned to the Snake Kingdom.
Eleven's face was pale and colorless, and his brain was buzzing.
My heart plummeted into the ice cellar.
Since there is no way to escape, there are only two results left.
No matter which outcome it was, she had to know.
Eleven got on his horse again, left the Snake Country, and headed towards the deep waterfall where he first saw Pingyang Hou.
For several days, neither Pingyang Hou nor Xiao Qi came back.
She had hatred and resentment towards Pingyang Houben, as well as other emotions that she couldn't even explain.
Pushing open the small door of Xiao Qi's residence, the lifeless darkness in the room made Eleven's heart even colder and more complete.
What she still hates more is the Great Wizard, but the Great Wizard is a superior person, and her current status is not enough to fight against him. She can only grit her teeth and record this debt together with the insult to her by the Great Wizard. , I’ll pay it back someday.
Fifteen days passed, and Eleven received a notice from Jin Niang that there was a new mission.
There is nothing difficult about this mission. It is just to create some illusions to attract the attention of the Yan Kingdom, so that the beauties purchased by the Snake Kingdom from outside can enter the Snake Kingdom smoothly.
Eleven held the edge of the table with his hands, looking at Jin Niang with a half-smile, his eyes as black as glass were frozen, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth, "You said, wait until the night comes." Now that Danhong is back, will the important task of assassinating Marquis Pingyang fall on Jin Niang?"
Although Jin Niang could say that Xiao Qi died due to the failed assassination of Marquis Pingyang, Mingli Ye and Dan Hong could not do anything to her.
But as the supreme commander of the dead soldiers at night, most of the past operations were arranged by him.
He naturally has the absolute right to arrange for who to go.
Everyone knows that the assassination of the Marquis of Pingyang will never come back.
If Ye arranges more Jinniang in personnel dispatch, it will be difficult for Jinniang to survive.
A chill rose up under Jin Niang's feet, and she said coldly: "You do your own thing well, and it's not your turn to think about other things."
Shiyi's eyes slowly glanced at Jin Niang's trembling hand, smiled, and walked away.
Jin Niang was so angry that she grabbed the pen holder on the table and slammed it against the wall in front of her.
The eyes slowly narrowed, shining with a sinister light.
This girl must be eliminated before Lord Snake comes back.
But when I think of Snake Hou, I am not so confident.
This girl is the one wanted by the Snake Marquis, and even the great wizard dare not touch her casually. If she touches Shi Shi, once the Snake Marquis finds out, she will really die.
Since the loss of Xiao Qi, the Snake Kingdom has not made any big moves.
Ling Feng wiped away the anger on his face in the past few days, and his eyebrows were dancing, "Master Hou, the Snake Kingdom has purchased more than 20 beauties overseas, do we want to give them to them..." He cut with his palm and made A cut-out action.
Pingyang Hou stroked the strings with his slender white fingers, and said softly: "Even if these women are cut off, they will still take the slave women of their own country to top them. And if we get these women, we will still have them." We have to provide rice and food to support them, which is a waste of money and effort. It just gives them a little leisure time, which is really meaningless. There are women in the army. When the news reaches the ears of the Duke of Chu, we will fall down the lower class. When the time comes, we will have more children. Those who are idle may not be those bird people in the Snake Kingdom, so let them be."
He paused and then said: "Although there are no major battles these days, it is really boring to sit here and stay like this. In Jinniu Town, send some dancing girls and buy some good wine so that everyone can have fun and relax. Relax."
Ling Feng originally thought that his subordinates, Wu Kui, had been standing guard for many months, and there was no big battle to fight. Everyone was so bored that he could use these beauties to reward the soldiers. According to Pingyang Houyi, it was indeed He didn't think well, and the twenty or so beauties could only cope with the top generals, and there were still complaints from below.
Hearing the arrangements made by Marquis Pingyang, I was filled with joy and agreed to go.
Marquis Pingyang stopped playing the piano, looked at the horizon in the distance, and whispered to himself, "If I keep avoiding her, I wonder what extreme things she will do."
Xiao Qi has already aroused the public indignation of his subordinates. If Eleven is like Xiao Qi again and he forcibly tolerates her, it will only alienate his subordinates who have been with him for many years. He cannot let this happen.
However, before that, he had to meet another person.
There are simple beds and counters in the prison, and there are also women's utensils such as bronze mirrors, wooden combs, etc. on the counters.
Although it is a prison cell, it is not as dirty and dark as a prison where prisoners are usually held.
Although the prison was not luxurious, it was kept extremely neat and tidy, and the bedding on the couch was clean and warm.
The prison wardens guarding the prisoners are all women.
Sitting on the couch was a neatly dressed woman with a dignified and stunning appearance.
There was the sound of the door opening on the steps.
The woman raised her head numbly, until a bunch of white robes appeared in her sight. Her indifferent eyes suddenly swayed with time, and she suddenly raised her head.
He looked squarely into the dark eyes behind the mask on the steps.
The woman's expressionless face slowly opened into a bright smile. She lowered her head slightly to straighten her neatly combed hair. She stood up, looked at the person coming again, and spoke slowly, "You are finally willing to come see me. I heard that the Marquis has been very prosperous in recent years."
Although she is in prison, she can still know some things about the outside world from the gossip of the 'female' prison officer who guards her.
Marquis Pingyang, who is both beautiful and ruthless in the world, will always be a topic that will never fade among women.
Marquis Pingyang smiled slightly.
The woman looked at the smile in his eyes, her eyes blurred for a moment, "We haven't seen him for a few days, and the Marquis's demeanor has made people dare not look at him more."
Marquis Pingyang ignored the woman's fascinated gaze and motioned to the female prison officer to open the wooden door of the cell inside.
The female prison officer opened the wooden prison door, exited the gate knowingly, and closed the copper door smoothly.
Marquis Pingyang then slowly walked down the steps, walked to the wooden table and sat down. His eyes briefly glanced at this unique cell, "It seems that they have not neglected Miss Gao."
The woman slowly walked out of the cell and sat down opposite him, her eyes lingering on his strange green mask, "It's not like Wan Rong has never seen the real face of the Marquis. Since he is here, why bother to hide it?"
Marquis Pingyang raised his eyes lightly and looked at Gao Wanrong, "I don't have much time."
Gao Wanrong's eyes dimmed slightly, and her voice could not hide her melancholy. Then she smiled and said: "Wanrong still said the same thing. As long as the Marquis marries Wanrong, not only will the drawings be exploded, Wanrong will personally deliver them, but even the hidden secrets of the royal family are in the hands of the Gao family." All power will be under the command of the Marquis."
Marquis Pingyang's eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze, "If Mr. Gao was underground and heard Miss Gao's words, would he be dead?"
Gao Wanrong bit her lip lightly and said, "Father knows that Wanrong only wants a husband from Marquis Pingyang in this life. Besides, the marriage between Marquis and Wanrong was given by the emperor."
Pingyang Hou said calmly: "It was just a trap to break off my wings when I first spread my wings, so as to control my second brother who had military power. Although I was young at that time, how could I Are you willing to tie yourself up and become my second brother's weak threat?"
Gao Wanrong's eyes flashed slightly, then dimmed again, "Even if my father hadn't done that and restrained Marquis Nanyang in that way, you wouldn't have married me."
"Yes, my concubine's position is like my life, how can I let others control it?" Pingyang Hou's voice was soft and soft, but it was undeniably cold and hard.
Although the second brother was only fifteen years old at that time, he fought brilliantly every time, and his achievements were accumulated and he won the hearts of the people.
Emperor Yan, he and his second brother were not born from the same mother.
He and the second brother are the direct blood of the queen, and the second brother was named the prince when he was five years old.
And their eldest brother was born to a noble concubine.
The queen mother never thought that Gao Cheng, Gao Wanrong's father, whom she had always trusted deeply, would be bribed by the imperial concubine and designed to harm her.
When her father was terminally ill and unconscious, he was accused of being unfaithful, stripped of his position as queen, and given a white silk ribbon.
The second brother's crown prince was deposed and the concubine's son, their eldest brother, was appointed as the crown prince.
Although the father was confused, he still knew that if he let go, his young second and third sons would have a hard time surviving without their mother's protection.
On a rare occasion when he was sober, he conferred the title of Marquis of Nanyang on his second son and the Marquis of Pingyang on his third son, and granted him a gold medal to avoid death.
Although Pingyang Hou and his second brother were young, they also knew how to hate Gao Cheng, the imperial concubine, and their father who was dying of illness but listened to the slander.
Soon after, his father died, and his eldest brother succeeded him as Emperor Yan.
Gao Wanrong didn't understand why Marquis Pingyang would rather die than rely on the Gao family.
"What's wrong with a beautiful appearance? In terms of appearance and birth, why is she not worthy of the Marquis?"
