Summary of the previous chapter: Bei Mingxue didn't see Ma Xiaoquan all day long, and she was very worried. When Dai Zheng saw this, he lied and looked for Ma Xiaoquan together. In fact, he wanted to deceive Bei Mingxue out of Ningyuan City and wait for an opportunity to capture him...
...
Bei Mingxue didn't know what Dai Zheng was thinking. At this moment, she was longing to see Ma Xiaoquan and act coquettishly in his arms. As she thought about it, Bei Mingxue's pretty face became hot.
Dai Zheng held a torch in his hand, but he did not notice the change in Bei Mingxue's face: "Miss Beiming, there is a three-way intersection not far ahead!" Dai Zheng reined in his horse and unfolded the map he carried with him.
He glanced at it and said.
"Master Dai is so attentive that he even brought a map with him." Bei Mingxue calmed down the fluctuations in her heart and nodded.
Dai Zheng smiled sinisterly in his heart, but said on the surface: "Of course, of course, when looking for Brother Ma, you need to bring a map. I bought this map when I was walking around Ningyuan City during the day, although it is not as good as the map used in war.
It’s so detailed, but it’s enough for us.”
Bei Mingxue said humbly: "Then... Mr. Dai, which way should we take?"
Dai Zheng glanced at Bei Mingxue, and that beautiful face made his heart tremble violently. If the time hadn't come yet, Dai Zheng would have definitely pounced on Bei Mingxue and pinned Bei Mingxue under him.
.
Thinking of this, Dai Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed the desire in his heart, and said slowly: "Let's... take the road on the left."
"Left, um, okay." Bei Mingxue didn't have a map in her hand, so naturally she didn't know that the road on the left was the most difficult road to take.
Dai Zheng originally did not intend to take the left path, but due to Bei Mingxue's martial arts skills, Dai Zheng finally chose the left path. Firstly, because the road was not easy to walk, he had a better chance to make a move. Secondly, also because
The road on the left is relatively dark.
Any woman, no matter how powerful she is, will be instinctively afraid of the dark. This sentence was told to him by Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch uncle Dai Zheng recognized.
...
After running for about a moment, Dai Zheng suddenly reined in the horse.
Bei Mingxue also reined in the reins and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Dai?"
Dai Zheng frowned slightly and whispered: "Miss Beiming, I always feel like someone is staring at us?"
"Ah? Where?" Bei Mingxue suddenly became nervous upon hearing this.
Dai Zheng was secretly happy in his heart. He wanted this effect. He would first slowly break down Bei Mingxue's inner defenses, and then wait for an opportunity to take over her body. Everything was really under his control.
Just when Dai Zheng was feeling proud, he didn't know that in a dark shadow not far from them, there were really several people hiding. Among these people, Magatu was among them.
"Boss, you really got it right..." A Chinese-speaking general next to Magatu flattered him in a low voice.
The corners of Magatu's mouth raised and he hummed softly: "That Ma Xiaoquan insulted me so deeply that I wanted to scrape his bones and eat his flesh, but... we need some chips... some
The bargaining chip that allows me to kill Ma Xiaoquan..."
"Boss, you are so wise."
"Hmph, if I hadn't sent someone to sneak into Ningyuan City earlier to investigate, I wouldn't have known that Ma Xiaoquan came with three beautiful women. Although the woman named Li Qinghan is extremely beautiful, Ma Xiaoquan
It might be too difficult to take action next to her, but this woman named Bei Mingxue... humph, that would be easy to do..."
"Boss, what about...that man named Dai Zheng?"
Magatu grinned: "That boy is the nephew of Wei Jinzhong, the eunuch who has been in the limelight recently in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know what kind of person Wei Jinzhong is, but it is said that he is not a good bird. From this point of view,
That boy Dai Zheng is not a good bird either. Maybe that boy is also plotting against Bei Mingxue..."
The general smiled and flattered: "Boss, what do you mean... should we... let the mantis catch the cicada and the sparrow behind?"
"Pah!" Magatu slapped the general and scolded, "You are a fool. I asked you to read Chinese books. Have you learned what is in the dog's belly? It's the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it.
Do you remember it?"
"嗻."
...
Bei Mingxue's ears twitched slightly, and she turned to look around. Except for the light of torches within the range, everything was pitch black.
"Miss Beiming, what's wrong?"
Bei Mingxue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said, "Master Dai, did you hear anything?"
Dai Zheng was wandering around the world just now. How could he notice so much: "Miss Beiming, did you hear it wrong? There is no sound?"
"No, no, I did hear it...it was like...well, the sound of a slap on the head..."
Dai Zheng chuckled, shook his head and said, "You've thought too much, okay, let's keep walking."
"Oh, okay"
...
Seeing Dai Zheng and Bei Mingxue continue to move forward, Magatu waved: "Follow you, you, and you three guys who understand Chinese, take a detour to the front and fix the tripping ropes."
"嗻"
"And..." Magatul grabbed one of them and said, "Get some hay mat in front of the trip rope... Don't break my beauty, I want to fight in the field, I understand.
?”
"嗻!"
...
An hour passed.
Bei Mingxue reined in the horse and said, "Master Dai, I think we should go back the way we came... It seems Ma Xiaoquan can't be found."
Dai Zhengyi heard this and said unhappily: "Miss Beiming, what, you don't trust me?"
"No, no, I'm just...I'm just a little scared..."
"Are you afraid?" Dai Zheng smiled coldly, his face suddenly changed, and he said sinisterly, "Bei Mingxue, you are finally afraid."
Bei Mingxue was stunned and immediately became alert: "Master Dai, what are you doing?"
Dai Zheng was not in a hurry. At this moment, Bei Mingxue was the only one beside him, and he was the only one beside Bei Mingxue. Although they were riding different horses, the distance between them was only a few feet.
"Miss Beiming, do you know that I like you?" Dai Zheng suddenly said quietly, his voice like a ghost in the dark night, with an eerie aura.
"Dai... Mr. Dai... let's go back..."
"Bei Mingxue... I like you, don't you know?" Dai Zheng repeated it again.
"Master Dai, please don't joke with me, okay? You also know that the only man in my heart is Ma Xiaoquan."
Dai Zheng smiled coldly and said, "Of course I know, but Ma Xiaoquan's thoughts are not on you, right?"
Bei Mingxue fell silent.
"Bei Mingxue, instead of doing this, how about you be my woman and I will be kind to you?"
When Bei Mingxue heard this, she quickly shook her head: "No, Mr. Dai, this is impossible. My whole life, I have identified Ma Xiaoquan in my heart, so I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry?" Dai Zhengyi was furious, "What qualifications do you have to say sorry to me in this place? Let me tell you, you either obey me obediently today, or... I'm right here
I took your body away."
"You!" Bei Mingxue was startled, and quickly took out the dagger she carried with her and held it in front of her chest.
"Humph Bei Mingxue, do you think it's useful? Yes, I admit that your martial arts are good, but don't forget, where are you going to escape to in this dark forest?" As he was speaking, Dai Zheng suddenly
He jumped and rushed towards Bei Mingxue.
Bei Mingxue was already fighting against the fear of darkness in her heart. When Dai Zheng pounced, she had no time to react. With a pop, Bei Mingxue was thrown off the horse by Dai Zheng.
Fortunately, Bei Mingxue has a foundation in martial arts, and her body is much stronger than those eldest ladies who do not practice martial arts. Although she fell off her horse, she quickly got up.
But... just as she was about to run away, a big hand firmly grabbed her hair...
