Chapter 530 The Man in Blue
When he saw the old woman going out, he thought it was the old woman and did not suspect that it was Xia Ziying pretending to be an old woman.
Until noon today, Sanba had not seen the old woman bring food to Xia Ziying for several meals. Xia Ziying was a fool. The old woman would often be lazy and not give her food, but she only dared to starve her once. Like this time, she was hungry continuously. She had several meals, but it had never happened before.
Sanba felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
He hurriedly flew to the roof, secretly lifted a tile, and looked down.
As a result, I saw the old woman wearing a white undershirt lying on the ground. There was a pool of blood on her head. The blood had dried up. It seemed that someone had smashed her head and she bled to death.
Only then did Sanba realize that Xia Ziying had been pretending to be stupid. She was just looking for an opportunity to escape from Cao's house.
After Sanba discovered that Xia Ziying had escaped, she hurried back to the Chu family and reported it to Xia Zihan. She even knelt down and asked for punishment.
"Master, the mission failed, the slave did not complete it, and the slave will be punished now." Sanba bit his lip, with shame and shame on his face.
The first time his master gave him a task, he failed. He couldn't even spy on an ordinary woman, so he deserved the punishment.
Sanba got up, went to the yard, and asked Chu Lin to hit him ten times.
Chu Lin asked for help and sent someone to report Xia Ziying's whereabouts.
Xia Zihan nodded and said, "She is a woman with no strength to fight. She will not be able to escape far. She will definitely not dare to leave the city. Just go and look for them in the streets and alleys, especially wandering beggars. If you want to Pay more attention.”
"Yes, Princess."
……
In the evening, it started raining heavily.
Thunder and lightning flashed, dark clouds rolled, and the rain from the sky was like pouring out of a basin, causing pain on people's bodies.
A group of people were galloping in the rain. Finally, due to heavy rain, the road was blocked and they were forced to stop at the entrance of an abandoned temple in the west of the capital.
The leader was dressed in blue, with sword-shaped eyebrows and evil eyes, and was extremely handsome.
He turned over and dismounted and ordered, "The rain is too heavy. Let's go in and take shelter first. When the rain stops, we can drive through the night."
With that said, the man in blue took the lead towards the ruined temple.
The ruined temple has been abandoned for many years. The golden paint on the stone statue of Bodhisattva that was once enshrined inside has been chipped away as if it had been gnawed by dogs. It is also covered with a thick layer of dust. The entire hall is empty except for three Apart from the stone statue, there is only a desk under the stone statue.
The man in blue walked in, glanced at the stone statue briefly, and was about to look away when suddenly, his eyes stared under the desk.
There seemed to be a black shadow there.
He subconsciously drew out the long sword from his waist and walked over with caution.
When he got closer, he saw it clearly.
It was a person, a little woman. The woman was curled up under the desk, her back facing outward, motionless, as if she had fainted or died.
He walked over and fiddled with it gently with his toes.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he lowered his head and turned the woman over.
In an instant, a stunningly beautiful face suddenly appeared in his eyes. His heart was shocked, as if it was touched by something, causing ripples.
My heart is no longer calm.
His men walked in and also saw this little woman who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
A middle-aged man in gray, in his thirties, dressed as a steward, walked over and said hesitantly, "Master, this woman's origins are unknown. Master, please..." Stay away.
"Make a fire and cook a bowl of porridge."
The man in blue squatted down and checked the woman's pulse. He found that the woman had fainted from hunger and her pulse was extremely weak. He interrupted the middle-aged man's voice and gave an order directly.
The middle-aged man did not dare to disobey his order. He secretly glanced at the woman who was being lifted up by the master and leaned on the desk, especially her beautiful face. He gritted his teeth and went down to prepare.
The porridge was cooked quickly. The man in blue was so respectful that he opened the little woman's mouth with his own hands and poured it in one spoonful at a time.
Perhaps after drinking the porridge, her body warmed up, and not long after, the little woman woke up.
When Xia Ziying saw a group of strange men, her little heart shrank with fear. Her eyes were full of fear, she protected her chest with her hands, and said with a trembling heart, "You...who are you and what do you want to do?"
Seeing that she was scared, the man in blue couldn't bear it, so he tried to keep his voice soft, fearing that if the voice was louder, it would scare the elf in front of him, "We are businessmen passing by, who are you? Why?" I'll show up here alone and faint from hunger."
The man in blue is very good-looking, with deep features, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary aura. He also has a pair of sharp eyes. When he stares at Xia Ziying, it is like a knife that can cut her body open.
Xia Ziying swallowed her saliva in fear, shrank back, and stammered, "I... I met an unkind man and married a man who gambled and beat others. He... he wanted to sell me into Dirty place, I...I escaped," she said half-seriously.
An expression of pity flashed on the face of the man in blue. After thinking about it, he made a decision and asked her softly, "Then are you willing to come with me? I will take care of you. Don't worry, I'm not good." I won’t beat you, let alone sell you. I will also promise you a life of wealth and wealth, as long as you don’t betray me.”
He deliberately added weight to the last few words, and his eyes became sharper at that moment, as if he was warning her that as long as she followed him, she couldn't betray her, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous.
Xia Ziying met a good person just when she was desperate. This was a piece of cake in the sky. It would be strange if she didn't agree.
She tried hard to calm down her racing heart, pretending to hesitate for a while, and then nodded cautiously in agreement.
Seeing that his master wanted to take in a married woman, the middle-aged man was very surprised. Thinking of their purpose of coming to Dasheng this time, the middle-aged man wanted to persuade his master, "My lord, this woman..."
The man in blue turned his head and cast a cold gaze on him, causing him to subconsciously shut up.
An hour later, the rain stopped, and Xia Ziying was carried on the back of his horse by the man in blue. He hugged her, whipped his whip, and with the sound of horse hooves, a group of people took advantage of the night and flew away from the capital.
Two days later, this group of people happened to meet Chu Jingqi who had returned from buying a horse on the official road outside Lianghuai City.
This time, Chu Jingqi bought 20,000 war horses for the emperor. The long horse team occupied almost the entire official road.
The team of men in blue stepped aside to let the horse team pass first.
When he saw that the leader of the cavalry was an extremely handsome, cold, and imposing young general, his eyes were filled with deep thoughts.
What he didn't notice was that Xia Ziying, who was in his arms, had changed into a gorgeous brocade silk skirt. The moment she saw Chu Jingqi, fear flashed in her eyes, and she quickly buried her head in the arms of the man in blue. Dare not show any face.
The man in blue thought that Xia Ziying was trying to be coquettish with him again, so he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and raised his hand to caress her back.
On the night he took Xia Ziying in, they left the capital and rested in the next town. He sent someone to knock on a shop selling ready-made jewelry in the middle of the night and bought her clothes and jewelry, as well as some rouge and gouache for women. She decorated it from the inside out.
Then I found that although she was a little thinner after dressing up, she was more charming and charming, especially those eyes that could enchant people. She glanced at him from time to time, like a sharp weapon to seduce the soul. He was so devastated that he abandoned his official position. That night, he couldn't control himself, pressed her on the bed and killed her twice.
If he wasn't worried that her newly recovered body wouldn't be able to bear it, he would have wanted to have her a few more times.
As for Xia Ziying, she had been tortured by Cao Huajun for a long time. She was exhausted, heartbroken, and frightened, so she ran away for two days in fear.
At this moment, there was a good-looking man who pampered her like a baby. She loved her wholeheartedly and was very happy. She felt that she had gone through a lot of hardships and finally came to the end, so she did not stop the man in blue from treating her. of plunder.
However, in bed, she still pretended to be as frightened as a bird, and accepted it without crying.
Then I felt pity for her, her charming appearance made the man in blue like her even more and pity her more and more.
Just when Xia Ziying was so happy that she almost forgot the sins she had suffered before, she never expected to see Chu Jingqi halfway along the road.
This is the man I fell in love with for the first time.
It was also because of him that she ended up in the situation where she was ruined and left her hometown today.
If she hadn't wanted to meet him in the front yard when she was at Duke Anguo's mansion, she wouldn't have met Chu Jingwen, nor would she have been bullied by Chu Jingwen, and got engaged to Chu Jingwen inexplicably.
If she didn't get engaged to Chu Jingwen, she wouldn't think about plotting against Xia Zihan in the Chu family. If she didn't plot against Xia Zihan, she wouldn't have that day.
In full view of everyone, he was pinned down by Chu Jingwen, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
If Chu Jingwen hadn't robbed her body, Cao Huajun wouldn't have gone crazy and taken her body, and she wouldn't have been arrested, and she wouldn't have been forced to marry Cao Huajun.
All the sins she suffered were ultimately caused by Chu Jingqi. If she hadn't fallen in love with him...she wouldn't have had so many things happen to her later.
But...does she hate him?
No, she didn't hate him.
If she wanted to hate, she would hate Xia Zihan and her second sister.
If Xia Zihan hadn't taken someone to Begonia Forest and saw her and Chu Jingwen together, she and Chu Jingwen wouldn't have gotten engaged.
In the Chu family, if Xia Zihan had not plotted against her, her body would not have been taken away by that scumbag Chu Jingwen, and her reputation would not have been ruined.
In the final analysis, Xia Zihan deserves the most credit for her ending up like this.
She will never forget this kindness.
One day, she will ask Xia Zihan for all her capital and profits back.
Yes, there will be that day.
She has a feeling that that day will come soon...
