Chapter 156 - Madam ChenguangThe corner of Wei Yuanwei"s mouth suddenly raised into a smile. If he came to the Mo City"s Duke Palace, they might not dare to make a move like this in public. She could only make a move before he received Yun Xie"s protection.
"I see that the old pious woman is very loyal to her master. Maybe she"s going to play some tricks again. You"d better be careful, master." Ah Qing fiddled with the bonfire, the dancing flames contrasting with her young and spirited face.
She was thinking the same thing as him.
"We will kill ourselves if we do too much wrong. We only have to wait quietly." She had even been to Ning Zheyan"s Snake Lair, which was filled with poisonous insects and herbs, so why would she need to be afraid that the Princess Xi Ya would cause trouble?
Xuan Li ordered her men to hunt wild animals such as hare and pheasant, and ordered her soldiers to skin them and roast them on tree branches.
After smelling the fragrance, Ah Qing"s eyes shone with excitement as she stared at the wild rabbit in Xuan Li"s hand.
Looking at those eyes that were filled with desire, Xuan Li slightly curled her lips, and silently gave the roasted wild game in her hand to Ah Qing.
But she did not take it.
"Why don"t you like it?" Xuan Li frowned.
"It would be even better if you put in some salt and pepper." Ah Qing happily stood up and ran towards the carriage. She remembered that there were a lot of seasonings in her bag.
"I like it, that Ah Qing girl has too many things to do." Seeing a flash of disappointment in Xuan Li"s eyes, Yin Sheng happily received the wild game from Xuan Li"s hands and happily ate it while giving a thumbs up.
"Guard Xuan"s cooking skills are really good. I wonder who has the luck to be able to marry her." Yin Sheng"s face was hot, she did not dare to look at Xuan Li"s eyes, and only lowered her head to nibble on the wild game in her hands.
Ah Qing brought out the salt and pepper powder and spread them all over the wild game with great relish. Her pretty face was covered in oil and her eyebrows were curved like jade.
Xuan Li handed the water bag over to Ah Qing and Ah Qing started to drink it without any hesitation. Water flowed down her neck and onto her body.
"Eat slower." Xuan Li said in a bland voice. Ah Qing had the boldness and heroic spirit of a boy when he ate.
"Exactly, those who don"t know might think that our w.a.n.gfei didn"t teach you the rules." Yin Sheng pointed at Ah Qing"s forehead.
"She is a self-taught genius and has nothing to do with me." Wei Yuanwei joked.
A bonfire was lit in the forest, and laughter flowed between the lush pine trees.
In the deep mountains, not only was there a lot of moisture, but the fog was also very thick. During the second half of the night, the fog was very dense, like a barrier that separated people from their dreams.
Wei Yuanwei slept on the bronze carriage, a thick fox fur covering her body, while Ah Qing and Yin Sheng snuggled up to her side.
With a series of hissing sounds, Wei Yuanwei only felt the carriage shaking violently. Raising the curtain, she saw that the carriage was quickly travelling through the forest.
Wei Yuanwei knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shook the two of them awake. "Yin Sheng, Ah Qing, wake up!"
Ah Qing immediately lifted the curtain when she woke up. She had been wandering in the Jianghu for many years and immediately noticed the change.
Yin Sheng rubbed her eyes with a confused look on her face: "Master, what"s wrong?"
"It must be the Princess Xi Ya"s doing." Ah Qing gritted his teeth.
Wei Yuanwei suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage and stood inside the vast fog. She didn"t know where the carriage was heading to, or whether it was a cliff or a wolf"s den, but she definitely wouldn"t sit still and wait for death.
"Yin Sheng, Ah Qing, let"s jump down." The surroundings were filled with pine trees. Jumping down would only result in injuries, but it would at least keep him alive.
"Why am I so miserable? Yin Sheng really has a jinx mouth, he didn"t even wait for me to enjoy my life before he died." Ah Qing wrinkled her nose. If she were to jump while the carriage was travelling at a high speed, even if she did not die, she would at least lose an arm and a leg. She was only a teenager, and there would be more days ahead of her!
"At most, you can just go back to your original job. People with disabilities are more likely to get sympathy from the world." Wei Yuanwei said in disdain.
"I"m not a greedy person who fears death. It"s just that …" Ah Qing hadn"t even finished speaking, she only felt as if her b.u.t.t had been solidly kicked, and her entire body was sent flying.
She landed heavily on the ground and rolled around while clutching her b.u.t.t. She thought to herself, "As expected, she is a vicious master. Even a delicate little flower like me was destroyed by her."
"Mistress, I"ll carry you and jump down with you. My physique should be st.u.r.dy, so it shouldn"t be a big deal." Yin Sheng patted his chest.
"No, the impact of two people together is too great. From the sound of Ah Qing falling, you can tell that the surroundings must have been filled with leaves and mud, and it was not too dangerous. "
After Yin Sheng jumped down, he jumped down with gritted teeth. Her body quickly tumbled down the slope, the cold wind whistled by her ears, and the area below her body was in pain. His mind was a mess of dizziness, Wei Yuanwei didn"t know how long he had been rolling for, and all she felt was his head rolling down heavily, causing his to faint.
"The young lady is finally awake."
When she opened her eyes, a rough dressed old woman with a weathered face happily smiled and said.
Wei Yuanwei tried to get up, but every movement would cause his to be covered in wounds.
She looked at the clothes on her body. The luxurious clothes from before were no longer there. Now, she was wearing a coa.r.s.e, half-worn garment.
The old lady sized Wei Yuanwei up under the lamp: "The chief has good eyesight, to actually find such an amazing person like you."
The chief? In other words, she had already been kidnapped and taken to the Wu Mountain stronghold?
Wei Yuanwei couldn"t help but size up the house. The house was dilapidated and poorly decorated, with only a few wooden chairs and beast skins hung on the walls. It really did look like a bandit"s nest.
"I"ll go report it to the chief now." Just as the old lady was about to turn around, Wei Yuanwei had already pulled her back and placed the silver hairpin into her hands.
"Grandma, I wonder how those two girls with me are doing." Wei Yuanwei was very worried about the two of them.
"They"re fine. They"re busy making the wedding clothes for the young lady." The old woman put away the silver hairpin with a smile.
Wei Yuanwei frowned slightly.
"Young lady, you can rest in peace here and wait for your wounds to heal before you marry. Our chief is a very good person, he will definitely not treat young lady unfairly." The old woman"s face was filled with joy. Their Wu Mountain Village had not had a happy occasion in a long time and the chief was originally a person who did not like women, but when he saw this young lady, he was shocked and immediately wanted to marry her as his wife.
After the old woman left, a slightly plump figure blocked out the sunlight at the door.
"Is the princess better? "The servants and maids are all waiting to drink the wedding wine." Li mama"s smile was so wide that the wrinkles on her face overlapped, making her look extremely malevolent.
