As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ling 'er began to wolf down her food! She was famished, so how could she bother to talk to him? Didn't he say that he couldn't let her die on someone else's behalf? Then she could eat without worry! Since she was already here, she had two choices now, eat or starve to death!
Seeing that Jiang Ling 'er had finished eating and drinking, He Yulang handed over the cup that he had prepared in his hand. She took it and drank it in one gulp. She thought to herself that she had served him well. Who was the person who asked He Yulang to capture her? Since the Hundred Flower House was mentioned, it must be someone who had been to the Hundred Flower House. Could it be Ji Jing? Impossible. He must be hiding everywhere now. She really couldn't think of anyone else.
Jiang Ling 'er burped and pretended to be a palace maid when she entered the palace. She pretended to be weak and asked,"Are you planning to knock me out again and feed me every other day?”
"You can stay awake every day after we reach our destination!" He Yulang nodded calmly.”
Jiang Ling 'er now knew that they were still on their way. Where were they going? She quickly pretended to be at ease with He Yulang and pouted."I want a roasted chicken leg for every meal, the whole one. I also want to eat a roasted rabbit leg, the whole one. Duck legs are good too! I want a whole one!
She raised her little hand and scratched her head. She thought about it seriously and continued,"As for the dishes, you can arrange them as you see fit. Tomorrow, I want to eat roasted suckling pig and stir-fried shrimp balls. The main course is crab roe dumplings. As for the soup, I want stewed bird's nest with milk!”
He Yulang thought that she would ask,'Who is the person who entrusted him?'‘How did he know my identity?'，‘Where is this? Why am I here? Who is he and what is his motive? She didn't expect it to be about food. He Yulang was stunned at first, then nodded with a faint smile and agreed to the food she proposed.
Jiang Ling 'er saw that his smile was so awkward, as if there were countless crows circling above his head. Seeing that he was not difficult to communicate with and did not look like he was difficult to talk to. If she, a little girl, wanted to take a step further, he would definitely agree."As long as you bring me good food and drinks every day, I promise that I will be obedient and not run away. I feel very safe here, really!”
The smile on He Yulang's face immediately disappeared. He remained calm as he looked at the woman in front of him, his mind churning. He was definitely not thinking too much. This woman was very smart and cunning. She was so alert, it was impossible for her to listen to him!
"I'm very curious. The precious daughter of Marquis Ji, Miss Yun Zhi, can actually become the owner of a tavern.”He Yulang reached out his hand to Jiang Ling 'er's face and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers. He stared at Jiang Ling' er curiously."Why didn't you resist?"
Jiang Ling 'er calmly blurted out,""Useless!" She knew very well in her heart that she was the fish now. If He Yulang really wanted to do something to her, it would be useless no matter how she resisted.
He Yulang suddenly admired this woman a little. She didn't cry like other women, nor did she have the cold and unyielding attitude of those tough women. She seemed to be in a special area."Will you starve to death if you don't eat for two days?”
Such a torment on the road would definitely exhaust him to death. If he did not eat for two days, he would starve to death. The illness that Young Master Sorrow mentioned had caused him a lot of trouble. If he could feed him once every four days, it would be much easier.
"What are you trying to do!" Jiang Ling 'er immediately linked it to the slaves and slave owners. He didn't want to torture her to death like a slave and then announce to the public that she starved to death because she hadn't eaten for two days!
"You seem to have a huge reaction to this sentence!”Whenever He Yulang said something else, she wouldn't have such a big physical reaction. However, whenever he mentioned the topic of starving to death in two days, she obviously had the urge to run away again. It seemed that this matter was true. There really was such a person. Who asked the worried young master to say that he couldn't let her die? So be it if she was tired a little!
"We're about to set off!" He Yulang took out a black-red bottle from his sleeve pocket and suddenly placed it at the tip of Jiang Ling 'er's nose. Jiang Ling' er accidentally took a sip and lost consciousness.
"The ones with higher purity are still better!" After muttering to himself, He Yulang carried Jiang Ling 'er and walked out. After paying the bill downstairs, he carried Jiang Ling' er onto the horse and instructed the servants to continue setting off.
After waking up, she ate and drank, and after eating and drinking, she fainted. Jiang Ling 'er did not know how many times she had gone back and forth. She was groggy and starving every time she woke up. She did not have the time or energy to count.
" I heard that the Hundred Flower House is still around and is managed by two young men. However, the business is sluggish." He Yulang sat by the bed. When he saw that Jiang Ling 'er was awake, he smiled at her and handed her a glass of water.
These days, when He Yulang delivered food to her, he would always chat with her. Not only did he talk about this and that, but he also deliberately told her about some things that happened in Ji Country, such as looking for Crown Prince Ji Jing everywhere, Marquis Ji having a new concubine, the eldest prince quarreling with Marquis Ji, deliberately going against Marquis Ji…and some stupid person who was almost killed by the eldest prince and was now looking for her everywhere…
She and He Yulang didn't like each other, and they both knew about it. Even so, He Yulang didn't cheat her food. Jiang Ling 'er was very satisfied with this.
Jiang Ling 'er couldn't figure out his intentions. She always felt that He Yulang was being mysterious. However, she also learned from He Yulang that the He family was definitely a spy buried in the Ji Kingdom. Otherwise, why would they be so familiar with and care about these things? Everything in the Ji Kingdom, big and small, including the matters in the imperial court, was under his control. There must be new news sent to He Yulang every day.
Now it seemed that it was not just the Ji Nation. There were probably other places with information networks, including Haojing. She had no idea how big the sphere of influence was.
He left in a hurry and did not make any arrangements. Since there was no tea to cool the crowd down, Jiang Ling 'er was quite relieved when she heard the news. Jiang Ling' er did not respond and let him speak on his own.
After getting off the bed, Jiang Ling 'er realized that the room she had arranged for her this time was much better than the previous one. The bedding on the bed was made of expensive silk satin, and the exquisite embroidery was gorgeous. The furniture was made of high-quality wood, and there were also expensive carvings on it. The beautiful and smooth totems were definitely not made by ordinary craftsmen. The furnishings were simple and elegant, and they were all expensive items.
The wine jugs on the shelves were all exquisitely crafted and were inlaid with rare amethyst gems, attracting Jiang Ling 'er's attention. She walked up to them and held them with both hands. When she looked at them carefully, she couldn't help but be surprised. This was a treasure. The outer layer was made of crystal and the inner layer was made of jade. It was truly a priceless treasure. Where did this shop come from? It was so rich. Could it be that she had already arrived at her destination?
When He Yulang saw her, his smile did not diminish. He did not care that Jiang Ling 'er did not want to talk to him at all. Anyway, it was basically the case. He was already used to it. Seeing that Jiang Ling' er was staring at the wine pot in her hand without blinking, he walked forward and said,"Your eyesight is quite good. This is something that young master likes!”
"I'll live here in the future?" Hearing He Yulang's words, Jiang Ling 'er was even more certain of her judgment."Your young master is really generous to place such a valuable thing in the guest room!”She had long guessed that the person who could make He Yulang pledge loyalty was not ordinary. Now, it seemed that he must be a powerful figure.
"This isn't a guest room, but a room that the young master prepared for you. The young master said that you like to drink, but he didn't want to give you any wine, so he placed this wine pot in your room so that you can quench your thirst and satisfy your craving!”He Yulang's words were pleasant to the ears, but the truth was not so. The room was indeed prepared by Yulong Keji for Jiang Ling 'er, but this wine pot was indeed his own decision.
This wasn't just an item that Imperial Dragon Restrain One loved. This was the flesh of his heart. Anyone who touched it would have their hands cut off. In order to frame him, He Yulang had even risked his own hands.
"Your young master is really kind-hearted!”Jiang Ling 'er thought for a moment and concluded that the person he was talking about was a guest of the Hundred Flower House. She could not guess who it was exactly.
Ji Jing was the most influential person in the Hundred Flower House. The other guests were ordinary dignitaries, wealthy children, and ordinary scholars. There were really no powerful figures. As for those who hid their identities, she did not know.
On the bookshelf at the side, the books were neatly arranged. There were a dazzling array of books and precious first copies. Jiang Ling 'er was very happy and concluded,"This is also your master's arrangement, right? He's afraid that I'll be bored awake!”
"Exactly!" He Yulang admired her once again from the bottom of his heart. This woman was indeed not an ordinary person. She could actually guess that she could wake up in the future. She was so meticulous and smart. He had to be extra careful in the future.
While Jiang Ling 'er was eating, He Yulang found a book on the bookshelf and sat quietly at the side to read. Jiang Ling' er took advantage of He Yulang's engrossed reading to suddenly stand up and rush to the door. She opened the door fiercely and was caught by the guards at the door and brought back into the house.
"I always thought you were smart. How could you do such a stupid thing!”He Yulang asked the guards to leave and continued to sit in the same place with his head lowered and reading without looking at Jiang Ling 'er. In fact, he had heard and seen Jiang Ling' er's actions just now. He did not stop her because there was no need to stop her. Anyway, she could only run to the door and could not even step out of the door."Don't even think about it. I've also asked someone to guard the window. It's definitely not a loophole for you to take advantage of. Even if you can calculate the house, you won't be able to leave the residence. You won't even be able to find where it is.”
"Then why are you still guarding it so tightly!”Since she couldn't escape, then why would He Yulang waste so much effort, not even letting go of the window. She did not know which country this was from, but judging from the guards 'attire, it was not difficult to determine that the main family must be someone with a prominent status. It was difficult to even enter such a person's residence, let alone sneak out. She had only wanted to know a little about the situation just now and had done it on purpose. She did not really want to escape because she knew that after spending so much effort to capture her, she would not let her escape so easily.
