She thought she would have to return the ransom she received, but no one wanted to take it, and even gave her a bunch more in exchange for her sachet and fan.
Xu Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and told them: "The sachets and fans are just bought on the street, they are not good things."
The young lady who came first to change the sachet said: "Although it is an ordinary thing, its significance is extraordinary. Are Confucius clogs a good thing? They were worn by saints, and because of their fame, they became a treasure passed down from generation to generation."
Girl, you say it makes sense, but you are too trusting. How could Xu San be so virtuous as to be compared with a saint?
These words rolled around in Xu Yin's mouth twice, and finally turned into a sigh.
Forget it, as long as everyone is happy.
Xiao Sang was particularly happy: "Miss, our trip was not in vain."
Xu Yin teased: "Why didn't I realize that you are a money addict before?"
Xiao Sang said confidently: "How is this the same? We are bandits now, we have to do what we do and love what we do!"
"..." Xu Yin felt that this girl was most likely afraid of poverty when she traveled around the world. She envied those bandits in her heart. Now that she had the opportunity, she quickly had a taste of it.
At night, the mountain road finally opened.
Under the arrangement of Lord Chu Jiu, many guests were sent out in batches.
The old man and his wife were frightened, and they breathed a sigh of relief after finally being able to leave this ghost place. But the young master and the young lady were not afraid, but quite happy. After experiencing such a strange thing, they couldn't wait to share it with their friends who were not here.
Xu Yin was riding in the same car as the County Master of Kangle. Seeing that she kept looking at him, he smiled and asked: "What's wrong with the County Master? Are you afraid of me?"
The Lord of Kangle County shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid, I just think Miss Xu San is so powerful and I'm a little envious. If only I could... forget it, I don't have this ability."
Xu Yin said: "You can only know if you have the ability by trying it. The county lord is from a royal family and has better conditions than me."
"But I don't know anything..."
Xu Yin smiled: "Mrs. Qiao managed the palace in an orderly manner. Didn't the county master follow suit? As the saying goes, everything outside is not much different from the affairs in the palace. Furthermore, the ninth master is the county master.
He is a compatriot brother, if the county master doesn’t help him, who else will help him?”
The Lord of Kangle County hurriedly said: "Of course I want to help Brother Ninth, but I don't know if he needs it..."
As she said this, she fell into self-examination and debated whether to ask her brother.
Xu Yin didn't say anything more. This was their own business. It was inappropriate for an outsider to talk too much. However, it was a happy thing to see the girls walk out of the house with courage.
…
It's past midnight and the candlelight is dim.
Xu Yin arrived at the observation building, and the waiter hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Miss Xu San, please."
She nodded lightly and stepped into the small building.
Young Master Chu Jiu was already waiting for her. After the two of them saw the ceremony, they led her upstairs.
The lights were brightly lit in the small building. Master Chu Jiu invited her to sit down and said, "Let's serve the food!"
The boy agreed, and after a while, the maids filed in.
They opened the food boxes, took out plates of delicacies, and filled the table.
Mr. Chu Jiu personally poured the wine and raised his glasses: "If it hadn't been for Miss Third's help, I don't know what the situation would have been like. I can only express my gratitude."
Xu Yin clinked glasses with him with a smile: "Ninth Young Master was able to get out of trouble because you were determined and decisive. I just gave you a little help."
"Miss Third, you are too humble. This is no small favor. Without your push, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make up my mind."
"Now is the Ninth Young Master proud? Many things in the world are like this. There are many difficulties before you do it. The most difficult thing after you make a discovery is the hurdle in your heart."
"Yes! Thank you Miss Third for teaching me a lesson, please!"
While pushing cups and changing cups, Mrs. Xiang, who was tied to the couch, slowly woke up.
Her consciousness gradually returned, and she intuitively wanted to get up, but when she touched the wound, she groaned and fell back again.
This muffled groan alerted others, and a guard immediately reported: "Ninth Young Master, she is awake."
Young Master Chu Jiu turned around and scolded: "Didn't you see? Madam Xiang is pressing the wound, why don't you help her up quickly."
"Yes." The maid hurriedly came forward, wiping sweat and inspecting the wound, very busy.
This courtesy made Mrs. Xiang confused for a moment. Wasn't her identity exposed? She was almost shot to death. What is she doing now?
She looked down and saw that her wounds were bandaged well, her clothes had been changed, and she felt refreshed. This was not a dungeon, but an observation building. Except for her hands and feet being tied, she seemed to be the same Mrs. Xiang.
Could it be that King He Xing couldn't bear to part with her? This idea was rejected by her at the same time. King He Xing's good thing was his beauty, and he could change her at any time, so how could he be reluctant to let her go? Before her identity was exposed, King He Xing didn't even look at her.
She raised her head, looked back and forth between Master Chu Jiu and Xu Yin, and said in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"
Master Chu Jiu held the wine glass and said leisurely: "Can't you see, Mrs. Xiang? This is to treat your injury!"
Mrs. Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "Don't waste your efforts. No matter what you do, you can't get even a word out of my mouth."
Master Chu Jiu chuckled: "Mrs. Xiang misunderstood. You have special skills and poison, so you are obviously a dead soldier. Don't people like us still know what a dead soldier is? Live to work for the master, and commit suicide once the mission fails. , no torture will work. I want to interrogate you? I won’t take the trouble!"
"and you……"
"Of course there is still use for you alive." Master Chu Jiu said with a smile, "For the sake of being my concubine, I will give you this bit of dignity, and I will make you happy whether you live or die."
"Young Master Ninth is really kind-hearted." Xu Yin took over, "I also met a female warrior before, but her life was not so good. She devoted herself to her master and did many things, but in the end she died at the hands of her master. inside."
"Oh?" Young Master Chu Jiu was very interested, "Who is her master?"
"Speaking of her master, he is truly precious. There is probably no one more noble than him in the world today."
Master Chu Jiu thought thoughtfully: "Oh, it's him! He even kills his own people casually, no wonder everyone says he is mean and unkind."
"Yes, even though that female killer has caused me a lot of trouble, I still feel so pity when I think about it. A good girl, who doesn't want to grow up happily and carefree, but she becomes a killer, and even her personality is ruined? Erased, I don’t know what the meaning of living is, alas!”
Hearing her sigh, Mrs. Xiang showed a contemptuous smile. Do you think she can impress her with just a few words? Humph!
"You don't think I'm trying to persuade you, do you?"
The sudden words made her raise her head and see Xu Yin's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Don't think too much, we don't plan to get even a word of information out of your mouth." She smiled and said word by word, "Because I know who your master is."
