Yagyu swallowed secretly, taking down this white-haired monster was a double enjoyment for him.
There is not only the satisfaction of money, prestige and status, but also physical ecstasy.
Hua Jin’s fresh and tender fingertips support her forehead,
"Why do you want to see me? Tell me."
Liu Sheng's gaze fell from Hua Jin's beautiful eyes to her silver hair. That gaze made the killing intent burst out in Hua Jin's eyes.
She suddenly found that she really hated people staring at her hair.
"My subordinate thought, my mother-in-law's hair is really beautiful."
Yagyu smiled slightly, the smile on his face was very confident and charming, as if he knew something.
Hua Jin raised her eyebrows, squinted at him, and didn't respond.
So Yagyu continued:
"Everyone has some little secrets of their own. I have traveled all over the country for so many years and have seen many strange people and anecdotes, but I have never heard of a girl with gray hair like my mother-in-law."
He continued to smile confidently and took a few steps closer to Hua Jin.
"There are no monsters or ghosts in this world. I believe that girls are human beings."
"Young girl, you have silver hair? You must have been questioned and ridiculed by the world."
He has removed the word "subordinate" from his words and changed it to "I". He has psychologically conquered Hua Jin.
Although Liu Sheng had never seen a girl with gray hair, he had also heard the story of Wu Zixu's hair turning gray overnight.
Looking at the monster Hua Jin, he could roughly deduce how this woman came to be here since she was a child.
He must be disliked, disliked and disliked by the world.
You may even be beaten, abused, and tortured like a monster.
This is how the world treats aliens.
Yagyu knew it very well.
He knew that women who had been hurt and lacked love were the easiest to be coaxed. As long as he showed some understanding and comfort to the monster, she would immediately throw herself into his arms.
Just like Hou Pan.
"Mother-in-law, no, girl, you can trust me. Although I know about your abnormality, I will not tell others and will keep it a secret for you."
Hua Jin listened for a long time and looked at Liu Sheng with cold eyes.
"So you came up to me and said such a big thing, what do you think I am? Abnormal?"
A girl with white hair is indeed an anomaly in this world. Hua Jin has always known that.
But she just didn't dare to face Li Yunqing. She didn't feel inferior to other people, or even to all living beings in this world.
So what about silver hair? In the world she lived in before, there were many people with colorful hair.
She is not afraid of others looking at her strangely.
I just don't want to see Li Yunqing with that look of surprise and disgust.
Liu Sheng smiled reassuringly, bent down, and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Hua Jin's hand and give her some comfort.
"Although you are abnormal, I will not look down on you like others do. In my mind, you are beautiful."
Just like this, holding her hand and making her feel comforted, she will fall in love with him and be devoted to him.
No one can resist Yagyu's charm.
However, the hand he just stretched out suddenly disappeared.
Just...gone.
Yagyu lowered his head and looked at his bare wrist, and bright red blood spurted out from the broken wrist.
Hua Jin on the opposite side avoided the spray of blood as if he was disgusted. He swayed and stood behind Yagyu Sheng, lowering his head and playing with the bloody dagger in his hand in boredom.
"Ah, ah? Ah!!!"
Yagyu realized belatedly that Hua Jin had cut off his hand.
Cut off his entire extended palm directly from the wrist.
Now his severed hand was lying on the ground, and his fingers were still moving twitchingly.
He pinched his broken wrist, yelled and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
"Drag it out."
Huajin treated Yagyu like garbage and had Yagyu dragged away, without even bothering to explain to Yagyu.
Is there anything to explain?
They all touched her, but she just cut off one of Yagyu's palms. She was very merciful.
In the empty wilderness, the city guard threw Yagyu Sheng to the ground, threw the severed palm on Yagyu Sheng's body, and spat:
"Bah, you don't even know what you are, and you dare to touch our master."
Don’t you know that the master is Princess Xiao Li?
Anyone who has come into contact with Princess Xiao Li, and then comes into contact with this "master", will be able to feel with their heart that this person is not good at all.
Everyone knows it, but no one talks about it.
The sound of horse hooves faded away, and Yagyu lay on the cold wasteland, shivering with cold.
Holding his broken wrist, he struggled to get up and walked toward the market town.
Although he was in terrible pain, his survival instinct told him that if he continued to stay where he was, he would either die of cold or be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards in the wilderness.
So he must cheer up, as long as he can return to the market town, he can be saved.
After leaving, he walked day and night for several days, and finally he was captured by Sun Guogong's soldiers.
"My lord, he is wearing the armor of the Hushan Army. He is suspected to be a deserter from the Hushan Army."
The Hushan Army is a new military system established by Hua Jin. In name, it replaces the military system of King Ruan's Army. In fact, it is to smoothly insert her troops into the Hushan Army.
Duke Sun Guogong hoarded 500,000 troops. Although the people in the imperial capital did not say anything, they were secretly wary in their hearts.
Hua Jin's city guards are getting more and more numerous. She claims that the city guards only have 30,000 or 40,000 people, but in fact they have more than 300,000.
The most basic specifications of each royal army are about 200,000.
The city defense army in the northern part of the Soviet Union was under the command of Princess Xiao Li, but it was also included in King Xiao Li's royal army.
Therefore, the city defense army plus the Shence Army currently exceeds fifty... It's just a northern land. What do you want to do with so many soldiers?
Let’s not talk about the Shence Army. After all, Li Yunqing wants to lead troops to fight against the Beirong people.
But what's going on with the 300,000 troops in the city defense army?
What's more, there are still 150,000 King Qi's troops in Guqi Prefecture, and they actually belong to Princess Xiao Li.
Hua Jin thought about it and could only push back. Seeing that King Ruan did not have a king's army, he established a Hushan Army, intending to replace the establishment of King Ruan's army and transfer 100,000 of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers he had in hand to the establishment of the Hushan Army.
Otherwise, her ambition would be too obvious.
The embarrassed Sun Guogong immediately waved his hand,
"Bring it here!"
The subordinates brought over Liu Sheng, who was as embarrassed as a beggar, and threw him like a dead dog in front of Sun Guogong.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I know how to enter Yao Jun's market town. It has now become a city guard and a supply town for King Qi's army. Mr. Guo, as long as you destroy this town, you are not afraid of a breakthrough."
It cannot withstand the blockade of the city guards and the King of Qi's army."
When Sun Guogong heard this, he was originally going to kill this useless person with a broken arm, but he immediately changed his mind and said with a smile:
"It's just a piece of trash that I picked up casually. I didn't expect it to be of some use. Okay, tell me how I can take over Yao Jun's market town. If I can really take over this market town, I will not only not kill you, but I will also reward you heavily."
Liu Sheng immediately stood up unsteadily and offered a plan to Sun Guogong.
After hearing this, Duke Sun Guo laughed immediately, looked at Yagyu Sheng's severed wrist, and said regretfully:
"It's such a pity that such a talented person like you has lost his wrist now, it's such a pity."
He was supposed to be a suave man who was always successful among women, but now that he has a broken hand, his charm must be greatly reduced.
But Liu Sheng is quite confident, at least his charm has never failed in front of Hou Pan.
In this way, when Hou Pan met Liu Sheng again, Liu Sheng had entered the city with the refugees. He asked someone to deliver a letter to Hou Pan, asking Hou Pan to meet him in the house he rented.
Hou Pan couldn't wait to go out, only to see Liu Sheng looking down and out with his wrist broken.
Hou Pan, who was deeply in love, cried until his heart broke.
"Liu Lang, you have really suffered. My Liu Lang...how did you end up like this? It was me who hurt you, it was me..."
It was she who didn't find a good job for Yagyu Sheng. It was she who easily agreed and asked Yagyu Sheng to escort the baggage. It was also she who didn't argue for Yagyu Sheng.
Hou Pan hated himself so much that he even resented Yao Jun.
Liu Sheng was still thinking about how to induce Hou Pan's pity and guilt so that he could proceed with the next step, but Hou Pan automatically took all the blame on herself.
She was so innocent that even Yagyu felt a pity for her.
Such a stupid woman, compared with that "mother-in-law", was so boring that Yagyu didn't feel any sense of challenge.
Thinking of that monster "Mother-in-law", there was uncontrollable evil in Yagyu's eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
"Pan'er, I don't want to let go of anyone who caused me to be like this. You are my woman, and you must avenge me."
Hou Pan nodded with tears in his eyes. Of course she would do it. She loves Yagyu deeply and listens to Yagyu's words very much.
"It's all because of Yao Jun and his master. Pan'er, let me tell you, that mother-in-law is a monster. You know, she is not actually that old, but she has silver hair all over her head. This kind of monster should be burned.
Die, lest it bring disaster to us all.”
Liu Sheng told Hou Pan how Hua Jin's body was different from that of a real old woman.
Hou Pan was already resentful and jealous of Yao Jun's master. After hearing Yagyu Sheng's words, he felt more and more that the "mother-in-law" was not a monster.
She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, with a look of resentment on her face,
"Yagyu, this monster must be eliminated, otherwise all of us will not have a good life."
"Exactly."
Liu Sheng had a dark smile on his face and took out a bottle.
"But in order to get rid of that white-haired monster, we must first get rid of her apprentice. Tonight, you will sprinkle this bottle of medicine into the meals of the Yao family."
He warned Hou Pan in detail that he must get this matter done tonight.
Hou Pan agreed, regardless of what kind of medicine Liu Sheng gave her, she just took it in her hand and followed Liu Sheng's instructions.
After the matter was properly explained, Hou Pan looked at Liu Sheng with a shy look. It was obvious that Liu Sheng had been escorting the baggage for so long and had not been affectionate with her for a long time.
Seeing her expression like this, Yagyu felt inexplicably disgusted.
He had broken a hand, and the pain of the broken hand tortured him all day long. How could he be in the mood to do this with a woman?
But now is the time when Hou Pan needs to be used, otherwise Sun Guogong's action tonight may not be successful, so Liu Sheng endured the pain and disgust, had a hasty tenderness with Hou Pan, and sent Hou Pan out.
Hou Pan's mother was guarding Hou Pan outside the door. When she saw Hou Pan coming out of Yagyu Sheng's place, she stepped forward with a worried look on her face, opened her mouth, said "Oh", and said nothing.
She was not a fool. Hou Pan ran here every two days, and Mommy already knew what happened before. Of course she could guess what Hou Pan did here.
After going back, Mother still couldn't hold it back and sat in the room to persuade Hou Pan,
"County Lord, that actor... is not someone to rely on after all. You are the County Lord, so why bother..."
Lower yourself and live up to yourself.
Hou Pan, however, only wanted to teach Yao Jun and his master a lesson for Liu Sheng, and did not take his mother's advice to heart at all.
She twisted her body impatiently,
"Now that I, the county head, have been abused by the Yao family, only Yagyu Sheng can love me and respect me more. I am only a little closer to him. Not only are there rumors outside, but even my mother and you are like this
To say I, I, I..."
As she spoke, she started crying again, as if she was extremely wronged.
My mother looked helpless. Thinking that the county boss was very emotional now, she couldn't persuade him properly, so she went out to do her own thing.
Hou Pan was the only one left in the room, waiting with the other two girls.
Hou Pan quickly ordered the girl to lure away the people in the kitchen. She got into the kitchen alone and poured all the medicine Liu Sheng gave her into today's dinner.
The Yao family eats from a big pot. Whether it is Yao Jun, Lady Yao, or an ordinary blacksmith from the Yao family, they all eat from the same pot.
There is no special pretext for anyone.
The only person who runs a small stove is Hou Pan.
In this regard, the Yao family is very generous. As long as Hou Pan wants to eat, they will try their best to get it for her.
Hou Pan didn't think this was a big deal before, but today was the first time she felt that the Yao family treated her well.
But this does not mean that Hou Pan will stop.
She had been blinded by love, and she only thought that it was Yao Jun and his master who had wronged Liu Lang first, and she wanted to teach everyone in the Yao family some lessons.
After administering the poison, Hou Pan saw Yao Jun as soon as he walked out of the kitchen door.
She felt nervous and stood still, almost forgetting to move.
She has been discovered, right? What should she do now?
Yao Jun walked towards her, just when Hou Pan thought Yao Jun was going to blame her.
Unexpectedly, Yao Jun stood still in front of her, with a guilty expression on his face, and lowered his voice to Hou Pan,
"County Lord, I have thought a lot during this time. Let's have a good chat."
Perhaps because of the panic in his heart, and because he was afraid that Yao Jun would find out what he had done, Hou Pan did not cry this time, but nodded with wandering eyes, and followed Yao Jun to a pavilion in the backyard of Yao's house.
.
"When we first arrived in this market town, there was no such big house."
Yao Jun stood in the pavilion and looked at the open space outside the pavilion.
There are some chickens and ducks raised in this open space, which Mrs. Yao takes care of when she has nothing to do.
Yao Jun said it with emotion and sincerity.
"Later we settled in this market town, and more and more refugees came to us. We didn't plan to stay here for a long time at first. We just wanted to rest here for a while, or go north to settle down.
.”
"But gradually, we defended this market town and our place of residence, and our hearts gradually stabilized. Many people, like me, felt that it would be a good idea to settle down here."
"So we began to renovate the deserted town, enlarging our houses little by little. Those who were doing business were busy working hard again, and those who wanted to gain fame continued to study hard..."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but get wet. This journey of wandering was not easy.
"Except for a group of strong young men, our Yao family has never raised a young lady. My mother-in-law grew up poor and does not know how to deal with noble people."
Yao Jun turned around and looked at Hou Pan sincerely,
"I know that you were born in a royal palace and grew up in a noble family. The Yao family has treated you poorly since the marriage proposal. I understand your unwillingness."
"But County Lord, Prince Hou's Mansion is no longer here, and the Yao family is getting better day by day. I still hope that you can be more patient and relax. When the Yao family becomes prosperous, you will be able to have good food and clothing."
days."
He thought for a long time, originally he had no thoughts about Hou Pan, but after so many days of calmness, Yao Jun decided to have a talk with Hou Pan.
After all, he married her, and if he couldn't live happily ever after, he should at least treat her with respect.
So Yao Jun came to Hou Pan again, and he told her that he would treat Hou Pan as well as possible from now on, and he also hoped that Hou Pan could recognize himself and let go of his previous arrogance as the county boss.
In order for a marriage to continue, both people must make changes and work hard.
After saying this, Yao Jun took out another He Li Shu from his sleeve.
"My master once said, if I can't treat you well and sincerely, then I might as well let you go free. County Lord, I will give you this letter of separation. If you can't live well in the Yao family,
Be happy, you can leave freely, and you don’t have to worry about your life after leaving the Yao family. As long as you don’t get married again, the Yao family will pay for your daily expenses."
This is what Yao Jun said from the bottom of his heart.
If two unhappy people have no intention of getting together, letting each other go is the best choice.
Hou Pan listened impatiently to Yao Jun's words at first, feeling that Yao Jun was now begging him to live a good life with him.
In her heart, she despised this man. She only felt that Yao Jun couldn't speak, not even half as good as Yagyu.
Live a good life? Then why didn’t you live a good life with her earlier?
After she gave her sincerity to Liu Lang, Yao Jun came to tell her that he wanted to live a good life with her. Who would be surprised?
As a result, Yao Jun took out the letter from Li again and said, neither softly nor hardly, that he would let her go free.
After she is released, who will provide for her and Yagyu's daily expenses?
Hou Pan held the copy of Heli Shu and looked at Yao Jun angrily.
"What's the use of paying for my expenses? I am the county head of Prince Hou's Mansion. Can you figure out how much gold and silver I use in a day?"
After the divorce, there is a huge difference between ensuring basic living expenses and living in the Yao family and constantly taking out large sums of gold and silver from the Yao family.
Moreover, Liu Lang has a lot to spend money on recently. If she can't give Liu Lang a lot of money, Liu Lang will be angry with her.
