065 Make your own abacus
Ling Feng waited for a while, but saw no words from Marquis Pingyang. He glanced at the blasting arrows exploding on the ground, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Pingyang Hou's injury from the last arrow has not fully recovered yet.
This time, his self-assertion is very likely to ruin the life of Pingyang Marquis. "Master Hou... I know my mistake because of my humble position. Please forgive me."
Marquis Pingyang's cold gaze gradually disappeared, "It's good to know your mistake. If you don't do it next time, get up."
Ling Feng sighed softly.
The woman in black stood in front of the door of a pawnshop, looking at the word 'pawn' hanging beside her, hesitant.
This is the most hidden property of the Gao family. When she came back from an outing, the Gao family had been raided by everyone, and the officers and soldiers who captured her came one after another.
She escaped the disaster by escaping to this pawn shop.
The Gao family has rules. Unless you have no choice, you must not step into this pawn shop, so as not to expose this pawn shop.
The summoning signal egg you just saw is unique to this pawn shop.
Over the years, the Gao family has hidden its property and mysteriously exchanged connections one by one.
She didn't recognize the clerk inside, and she couldn't confirm whether the pawn shop still existed.
The clerk looked at her for a long time and then came out, "Miss, do you want to pawn something? Ours is the pawn shop with the most reasonable prices within a hundred miles."
The woman in black responded, and the signal egg she hadn't seen in seven years reappeared. No matter what, she had to figure it out and step forward.
The shopkeeper raised his head from behind the small window of the counter and looked at the woman in black, "What do you want, girl?"
The woman in black looked around. Although there were other people coming and going in the pawn shop, they were basically poor people nearby or tourists. No one paid much attention to her and said: "I want to ask the shopkeeper what kind of things are good." when?"
If someone else was asking this kind of question, they would definitely think that this person is mentally ill or is looking for trouble.
When encountering such a person, the shopkeeper will most likely ask the waiter to sweep the person out.
However, after listening to it, the shopkeeper just looked indifferent and said: "To be honest with you, Miss, I have been selling jewelry better recently. If Miss has good jewelry, you might as well take a look."
A flash of brilliance flashed through the eyes of the woman in black, and she said: "There is a ring I want to buy, but it is not gold or jade. I don't know what the texture is. I don't know if I can get a good price for it."
People who come to pawn things always put bad things at best in the hope of getting a good price. How can anyone be so honest and ignorant of the goods?
If you encounter such a person, most of them will be slaughtered to death by the pawnshop. They are obviously good, but you can call them junk goods.
The people nearby who came to pawn something heard her words and couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at her.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said: "Girl, you have come to the right place. We are absolutely fair here and will never deceive people. If you have something, you might as well show it to us. The good one is good, and we will give you a good one." Price. If it’s really bad, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
The person waiting for the pawn behind the woman in black snorted disdainfully.
Can there be anything white in a place like this?
The world is as dark as crows, how can this pawn shop be an exception?
The woman in black breathed a secret sigh of relief, took out a small box from her arms and handed it to the counter.
Everyone around her thought that this girl was too naive and ignorant of the world and was destined for death.
The shopkeeper opened the brocade box, took a look at it, and sighed: "I have been here for twenty years, and I have never seen anything like this, and I can't tell what the quality is. Our boss is knowledgeable. If the girl is not in a hurry, How about you follow me inside and ask your boss to take a look?"
The woman in black nodded, "That's fine, I'll leave it to the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper got down from the counter, opened the door and let the woman in black in. He picked up the curtain at the back and led the woman in.
The curtain fell, and the shopkeeper silently saluted the woman in black.
The woman in black nodded lightly, followed the shopkeeper and walked in, passing through an aisle before entering a very tidy yard.
She looked at the hospital where she had lived for half a year, and her heart could no longer be calm. She didn't know if the boss mentioned by the shopkeeper was the person she recognized.
Although they had exchanged slogans at the counter just now, the shopkeeper was still a stranger to him. She did not ask questions easily, but was secretly on guard.
Entering the main room, a person came out, who was indeed the head of the family at this time.
The woman in black's heart dropped. It turned out that the door of the house was still there.
The shopkeeper handed Jin Di's hands to his boss and walked out.
The owner opened the brocade box and found a snake-shaped ring finger inside. He looked at the woman in black with satisfaction, "Second Miss."
The woman in black then took off the veil covering her face, and then took off a human skin mask, revealing a gorgeous cheek, which turned out to be Ziyun.
Ziyun stepped forward and called out, "Uncle Cheng."
The boss returned the ring to Ziyun and saluted with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for more than six years. The second young lady has become like a fairy on earth. The younger one is almost unrecognizable."
Ziyun's heart was completely in her chest, the roots of the Gao family were still there, "I wonder what's wrong with Uncle Cheng calling me here?"
"There is someone else who wants to see the second lady." The boss didn't mince words.
"Who?" Ziyun was slightly startled.
"Second young lady, follow the younger one." The boss pressed a hidden switch on the wall, leading Ziyun into a secret passage, and about a stick of incense later, he entered another house.
In the pavilion in front stood a woman with her back to them.
The boss stopped, stopped moving forward, and signaled Ziyun to go on his own.
Ziyun was full of confusion and still walked towards the pavilion.
When I arrived outside the pavilion, I saw the woman turning around. Her appearance was gorgeous and noble, and she was very similar to myself.
Ziyun immediately froze and called hesitantly: "Sister?"
The last time she saw her sister was seven years ago. At that time, her sister was only a fourteen-year-old girl. Although seven years have passed, the girl has grown into a beautiful woman. It can be recognized after all.
The woman was none other than Gao Wanrong, who had been imprisoned by Marquis Pingyang for seven years.
Gao Wanrong looked at the girl who looked similar to herself, tears welling up in her big eyes, "Wanyun, you are indeed alive."
It turns out that Ziyun is Gao Wanyun who went on an outing and escaped the Gao family's massacre.
Ziyun, who had been away from her relatives for a long time and wandered like a lonely ghost, could no longer suppress the loneliness and pain in her heart. She threw herself into Gao Wanrong's arms and cried uncontrollably.
Gao Wanrong hugged her sister tightly and shed tears.
After a while, the two sisters stopped crying.
Ziyun looked at Gao Wanrong again and again. Although the sister in front of her was pale, she was not as pale and haggard as other prisoners who had been imprisoned for seven years.
"Sister is out?"
Gao Wanrong was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly, "That's right." He led Ziyun to sit at the stone table and peeled an orange for her, "I heard that you are in Yue country?"
Ziyun nodded, "In the past, I could still find shelter in the Gao family's halls, but those halls in the Gao family were destroyed by that person one by one. I had nowhere to go but to seek refuge with the Snake Marquis."
Gao Wanrong sighed, "I'm really sorry for you." No one can cure the miasma in the Albizia Julibrissin Forest. How could Ziyun enter the Albizia Julibrissin Forest if he was not forced to have no way out?
Ziyun shook her head, "As long as sister comes out, it will be good. Once sister comes out, there will be hope for the Gao family to be resurrected, and we can take revenge." When she said this, she suddenly remembered something and felt a little wary, "How did sister come out?"
For seven years, the dark forces of the Gao family tried every means to rescue Gao Wanrong, but not only did they fail to rescue him, but they got themselves involved.
Now that there are not many secret forces left in the Gao family, she came out silently?
"I made a deal with Marquis Pingyang."
Gao Wanrong knew that this matter could not be hidden, not to mention that another condition of Marquis Pingyang was that Wan Yun protect the daughter named Shiyi.
Ziyun's face turned cold, and as expected, "What kind of deal?"
"He returned the Gao family's property to us, but it is for his own use temporarily." Gao Wanrong knew that her sister was forced into the Albizia Julibrissin Forest and suffered from the miasma for life. Coupled with the family feud, Gao Wanrong hated Marquis Pingyang deeply.
In addition, she hadn't seen her sister for a long time. She didn't know what her sister was thinking now, and she didn't dare to tell anything about the Gao family's army.
Sure enough, after finishing his words, Ziyun's face darkened, "What a good plan. He slaughtered all the members of our Gao family, seized our Gao family's property, and now he wants my sister to work for him. Could it be that my sister agreed?" "
Gao Wanrong was silent.
Ziyun said coldly: "Sister, for that man, have you forgotten the disaster that happened to the whole family?"
Gao Wanrong said anxiously: "How could I forget?"
Ziyun's eyes were filled with fire. For seven years, she firmly believed that her sister would be imprisoned because she was unwilling to compromise. But she didn't expect the result to be like this. She was angry, anxious, and more desperate, "Since I haven't forgotten, why?" Will you still agree? Aren’t you afraid that your father, mother and brother are watching from below?”
Gao Wanrong's heart was pounding, "It's just temporary."
"For the time being?" Ziyun sneered. He could believe Pingyang Hou's words. Sows can climb trees.
"Yes, it's just temporary." Gao Wanrong grabbed her sister's hand urgently, "I asked Uncle Cheng, over the years, every hall of the Gao family has been attacked, but Marquis She did nothing, just watched. If we want to revive the Gao family, we can only rely on ourselves. But I have been imprisoned. The Gao family has no hope at all, and there is no way to avenge it. Only in this way, we will make plans slowly. If it were not for waiting for the opportunity, seven years ago, I I would rather die."
Ziyun calmed down and just attacked Marquis Pingyang, but was easily avoided by him. She knew that she would never be able to assassinate him with her own strength.
And his men could have intercepted her, but they let her leave.
She had never been able to figure out the reason before. It wasn't until Gao Wanrong told her about the deal with Pingyang Hou that she finally understood.
Pingyang Hou's people let her go because they didn't want to affect the deal with her sister.
The Snake Marquis spent so much effort but could not do anything to the Pingyang Marquis. Now that the Snake Marquis has disappeared for no reason, it is even more difficult for her to deal with the Pingyang Marquis with her own strength.
My sister's words were not unreasonable, but when she thought of doing things for her enemies, she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Gao Wanrong tightened her hand on Ziyun and said solemnly: "The ancients could endure humiliation and bear the burden, why can't we?"
(Xiao Qi’s fate will change a lot, so you don’t have to worry.)
