Chapter 24 Weighing the Pros and Cons
Chapter 24 Weighing the pros and cons
"If you don't want to talk, you can let me go immediately." Su Rui refused without thinking.
Hou Meiyu then said: "How about we make a deal? As long as you fulfill my wish, I will give you my soul after it comes true."
From what the soul messenger said, she is a soul-pledger, so this deal seems to be a good deal.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Hou Meiyu thought she didn't agree and threatened, "If you don't agree, then I will imprison you forever."
He was about to agree, but when he saw her threatening like this, Su Rui was not happy and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I have a hundred ways to commit suicide, can you still stop me? But I will think of something more comfortable.
Way to die."
"Aren't you afraid that we will die together?"
When Meiyu mentioned it after menstruation, Su Rui became angry when she thought of her horrible body: "It would be better for me to die early and give birth early to be more comfortable like this."
Damn Loris and Alia!
Su Rui cursed lowly and then said: "Your threats are useless to me."
Seeing that Hou Meiyu was too hard, she begged softly: "Please, as long as you fulfill my parents' will, I want to see him one last time."
Suri hesitated for a few times, then asked: "Who is he?"
"His name is Li Wenyu, also called Li Youchen. If I guess correctly, he is the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Dragon."
Listening to her words, a series of beautiful and sweet pictures appeared in my mind, the handsome boy and the beautiful girl. It turned out that this was the enemy coach who kidnapped me and hung me on the wall to be roasted, the eldest prince Li Youchen!
Why is Hou Meiyu still attached to such a cold-blooded animal? But that is also her own business and has nothing to do with me.
That's what he thought, but Su Rui still couldn't bear to ask: "It's not impossible to promise you, but in addition to your soul, I also need compensation."
This is a matter of life and death, and I came here with nothing. If I don't make some money, how can I travel around the world? Money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible.
When Su Rui saw that she didn't speak and thought she didn't agree, Hou Meiyu's voice sounded again: "My remaining banknotes and jewelry fell off the cliff with my luggage. How can I get any reward for you——"
"No need to discuss it." Su Rui refused her without hesitation.
Hou Meiyu said anxiously: "But after entering the palace, there will be many rewards and gold and silver jewelry. You can take those things to the pawn shop and exchange them for silver notes."
Damn temptation, Su Rui is most afraid of multiple-choice questions. The soul messenger said that it is extremely difficult to find a quality soul. He was really lucky to get one when he first came here. Moreover, there are so many treasures in the palace, so he pawned them for silver.
The tickets are already there.
After Su Rui figured it out, in case he met someone as cunning as Loris again, he warned: "Don't break your promises, otherwise I will become a ghost and haunt you!"
"Thank you, thank you." Hou Meiyu thanked her repeatedly and then lost her voice. With a goal in mind, Su Rui felt like she had seen the light of day and had hope, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
While she was silently negotiating with Hou Meiyu, the other person was trembling with fright when he saw the miserable situation of the leader, and stood aside in horror.
"Take him down and drag him away." After King Lei Hu ordered in a cold voice, he looked at Lei Xiao again.
Lei Xiao understood the meaning in his father's eyes and was testing him.
"Keep this man for now, put him in chains and guard him, starve him for two or three days, and then interrogate him. How about dealing with him in the same way without telling him?"
Lei Xiao's voice was a little labored when he spoke at this time, and Su Rui couldn't help but look at his wounds.
The wound probably opened again.
King Lei Hu nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Let him be strictly monitored and not allowed to feed or drink water. If he runs away, he commits seppuku."
Feed!
If another person dares to be angry but dare not speak out, he will be treated as a beast!
"Yes." Shi Linyue nodded respectfully and took the person down.
Surrounded by corpses and the strong smell of blood, Su Rui couldn't help but sigh when he saw that life only lasted for a moment.
When people change their nature, they will become turbid. The soul messenger mentioned that the changes in the pupils cannot be seen by ordinary people. She could not help but sigh at the fragility of life when she looked at their life wheels and their souls leaving the body.
In order to prevent being entangled by these turbid souls like last time, when I was about to withdraw, the soul messenger appeared again.
He glanced at her and appeared calmly, without any surprise on his expression.
On the other hand, Su Rui was a little surprised to see him again, and besides, he was right in front of everyone. Unaccustomed, she looked around at the completely unaware people around her and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The soul messenger said calmly: "You should get used to it, now that you have the abilities of ordinary people, this situation will often happen in the future."
Suri didn't dare to reply and spoke to the air, which might be mistaken for being frightened.
She made it clear with a subtle nod of her head.
The soul messenger whispered a spell in his mouth, and finally shouted coldly, "Take it!"
The more than twenty souls who were still confused were sucked into the copper gourd around his waist in surprise and fear.
Seeing that he still lingered with no intention of leaving, Su Rui narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Someone else is going to die."
As he said this, he looked in Lei Xiao's direction, and Su Rui was startled.
Was it Lei Xiao who died? Was the wound open and infected with bacteria, causing complications?
Many possibilities popped into her mind, and she looked at Lei Xiao anxiously.
Lei Xiao saw her expression suddenly change, looking at him anxiously and worriedly, confused.
"you……"
Just after he said a single word, his figure suddenly flashed to Su Rui's side and pushed her away forcefully.
Su Rui stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.
Chen Datou, who originally thought he would die, stabbed Lei Xiao's left shoulder with his sword.
Wouldn't he be dead if he stabbed himself in the heart? Why hasn't he died yet...
The location was calculated wrong! Suri suddenly woke up.
Because the lights in the tent and the moonlight outside stretched his figure, the sword deviated from his heart.
Her mistake actually created a gap, gave herself a dead end and danger, and even harmed Lei Xiao...
With a bang, Chen Datou fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and his sword fell to the ground as he fell. After a while, his soul became three-dimensional.
The soul messenger calmly collected his soul.
It turned out that when he took action, the stepmother had already shot the flying knife, but it was still a step too late.
Lei Xiao's face was extremely ugly, his brows were furrowed, and blood overflowed from the wound.
"Bring me the medicine." Su Rui shouted hurriedly.
King Lei Hu also walked over worriedly.
Li Bao responded in panic and took the medicine from the carriage.
Su Rui calmed down a little when he saw that the soul messenger was gone. He carefully took off his coat. Fortunately, the sword did not penetrate his body. Unfortunately, the sword penetrated his old chest without any bias.
The wound, the wound got worse.
Everyone was busy running around boiling water to wash the wounds and applying medicine.
As the wound worsened, Lei Xiao's fever persisted, and Su Rui stayed by his side to change the wet wipes.
Lei Xiao opened his tired eyes and looked at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go to sleep and let Li Bao come."
"He doesn't know medical skills and doesn't know how to deal with emergencies." Su Rui looked at his mother-in-law and gave him an impatient look.
Lei Xiao opened his eyes a crack and saw her working seriously, and said in a low voice, "You don't have to do this."
"Who will protect me if you die?" This sentence is true, and half of the reason is occupational disease. She can't do nothing to save her.
Lei Xiao wanted to say something more, but he was too tired to argue with her.
Su Rui looked at his heavy breathing, finally stopped talking and sighed softly.
It’s no joke if wound infection is not treated properly, it can kill you in minutes.
Thinking about it, this was the third time he had saved himself, and I was a little confused as to why he was so desperate to save himself.
Is it the order from King Leihu?
Until about five o'clock in the morning, Su Rui looked at his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.
The fever finally subsided, and as soon as I relaxed, fatigue came over me, and I lay down next door and fell asleep without realizing it.
"Little sister..."
Li Bao opened the tent curtain, and the word "Sister" was breathed out in shock.
Sleeping on the same table...
Lei Xiao frowned, raised his right hand and cautiously walked out of the tent.
"Why are you shouting so early in the morning?"
Li Bao raised the water basin in his hand and whispered as if he had done something wrong: "I want to say that Miss Hou took care of her for a night and came to work for her so that she could wash and sleep for a while."
"Let her sleep for a while." Lei Xiao wanted to take action on his own, but he thought that if it involved another wound, he thought of her taking care of it day and night.
"Wash and groom me."
"Oh, yes." Li Bao quickly put down the basin and washed the young master.
