Su Ling packed up some soft things and followed Zhao Yibai out of the residence through the back door. They passed by the back door without anyone, and they didn't even bump into the old woman guarding the back door. Su Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Wu Mingzhu really opened the door for Zhao Yibai. She even prepared a carriage and parked it at the back door.
After getting on the carriage, Zhao Yibai did not delay for even a moment. He drove the carriage straight out of the city. When they passed by a City God Temple, the sky was already dark. Zhao Yibai said to Su Ling," Ling Er, let's wait here for a while. I have a friend who said that he would come here to give us money. Otherwise, without money, we would not be able to go far."”
"Alright." Su Ling nodded obediently and followed Zhao Yibai into the City God Temple.
After entering the temple, Zhao Yibai first lit a torch and handed her a pot of water." Drink some water to quench your thirst."”
Su Ling took the kettle, opened the lid, and smelled it. She knew that there was something wrong with the water. She pretended to drink a few mouthfuls, and after a while, she pretended to be sleepy and leaned against a pillar to fall asleep.
"Ling Er, Ling Er?" Zhao Yibai pushed Su Ling twice. Seeing that she did not react, he immediately said," Manager Lin, she's asleep."”
A middle-aged man immediately walked out from behind the statue of the City God. It was Manager Lin from the front yard of the Prime Minister's Estate. Manager Lin walked in front of Su Ling and took a few glances. After confirming that she was asleep, he smiled at Zhao Yibai and said," Not bad."”
"Then what about the silver that Furen promised me?”Zhao Yibai asked with a smile.
Previously, Wu Mingzhu had promised him that as long as he could persuade Su Ling to elope with him, she would give him a large sum of money for him to elope. She would only come back after he and Su Ling were done. At that time, Prime Minister Su would have to acknowledge him as his son-in-law even if he did not want to. Otherwise, he would become the prime minister's family scandal.
As for the Third Prince, as long as he gave a reason that Su Ling was suffering from a malignant disease and her face was covered with malignant sores, he could reject the marriage. Then, he would find a substitute with a face full of malignant sores and show it to the Third Prince. Yan Yelin would probably take the initiative to ask the Emperor to cancel the marriage even without the Prime Minister's Estate mentioning it.
When he thought about how he had been scheming for so long and finally got what he wanted, and how he had gotten such a beautiful and easy to control wife like Su Ling for nothing, Zhao Yibai was so happy that his heart was blooming.
"What Furen promised you will naturally be kept.”Manager Lin smiled and took out a stack of silver notes from his chest pocket. He held it up with his left hand," These are all small notes from Fukang Bank. One note is a hundred taels. Here are two thousand taels. It should be enough for you to use for a few years."”
Zhao Yibai was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to take it, but who knew that a dagger would suddenly appear in Manager Lin's right hand that did not hold the silver notes. He stabbed it into Zhao Yibai's heart.
?" You-" Zhao Yibai pointed at Manager Lin with wide eyes.
"I'm really sorry. This money was given to me by Madam. She told me to handle it cleanly.”Manager Lin grinned hideously as he pulled out the dagger from Zhao Yibai's chest and pushed him away. He looked at Zhao Yibai, who was convulsing on the ground, and smiled." I really have to thank you for kidnapping Third Miss. I'll definitely burn more paper money for you during the Qingming Festival and the Chinese New Year next year!"”
Zhao Yibai twitched for a while and gradually stopped moving. His eyes widened in disbelief and unwillingness.
"Tsk, he's really good-looking. Unfortunately, he's an idiot.”Manager Lin looked at the unconscious Su Ling. Under the light of the torch, Su Ling's face showed a kind of faint charm.
Chief Lin rolled his eyes and revealed a lewd smile." It's a pity to kill him just like that. Let me have some fun first. I can only eat that old lady Wu Mingzhu every day in the Prime Minister's residence. I'm really suffocating."”
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to tug at Su Ling's clothes. Who knew that just as his hand touched Su Ling's clothes, Su Ling would pull him back.
Su Ling suddenly opened her eyes, and the sharpness in her eyes made people shudder. Her fingers forcefully grabbed onto Manager Lin's soft tendons, and she directly used the most commonly used small grappling hand in the special forces, twisting both of Manager Lin's arms behind his back and grabbing him. Then, she kicked his knees. With a thud, Manager Lin knelt on the ground, the dagger in his hand falling to the ground.
"I really didn't expect that my dignified and virtuous mother would actually have an affair with you, Manager Lin.”Su Ling laughed. She finally had something on Wu Mingzhu.
"Third Miss, what nonsense are you talking about! Let me go!" General Manager Lin did not expect Su Ling's strength to be so great. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free.
"Let you go? How can that do?" Su Ling pretended to be serious as she said," You slept with my father's woman. As my father's daughter, of course I have to help him take revenge.”
Manager Lin did not believe that Su Ling would sincerely avenge Prime Minister Su. He scolded angrily," B * tch, I have really underestimated you! What exactly do you want!"
"You should be the one who wants to do something." Su Ling's voice was gentle and charming like the most lingering words of love," Manager Lin, tell me, how do you want to die?”
"Who's inside!" Suddenly, a shout came from outside the Shing Wong Temple.
Su Ling immediately understood that the guards on night patrol had seen the fire in the temple and were worried that there were bandits hiding here, so they came to check. She picked up the dagger that Manager Lin had dropped on the ground and sneered," I'm really sorry, Manager Lin. I don't have time for you to choose. I'll give you the most direct way to die!"”
After saying that, he raised his hand and slashed down, leaving a trail of blood. Manager Lin's neck was cut open by the sharp blade of the dagger, and blood gushed out.
Su Ling flung away General Manager Lin's corpse. She did not even look at Zhao Yibai who had died with grievances on the ground. She turned around and ran towards the back of the City God Temple. The soldiers had already entered the City God Temple. Seeing that Su Ling was about to be discovered, a rope flew down from the beam and wrapped around Su Ling's waist. It pulled her up the beam and hid her in the shadow of the beam.
Su Ling had just been pulled up to the beam when she was embraced by a masked man in black. She was shocked, but she did not dare to move. She could only feel her heart beating very fast.
"Quick, quickly report to the capital governor that two corpses have been found here!”
The two guards who were patrolling the night had just entered the City God Temple when they saw the corpses of Steward Lin and Zhao Yibai. They were shocked and did not care about searching the temple carefully. One of them stayed behind to guard the temple while the other rushed out to report.
Su Ling looked into the masked man's eyes and mouthed," What do we do now?" The masked man blinked and hugged Su Ling's waist tightly. Su Ling almost wanted to kick his crotch out of reflex. Fortunately, the masked man immediately carried her and used Qinggong to avoid the watchman's line of sight. They flashed out from the back door of the Shing Wong Temple.
The two of them ran all the way to the city gate and saw the capital governor leading a group of guards out of the city with torches in their hands. They were all rushing in the direction of the City God Temple.
"Looks like we won't be able to enter the city today.”Su Ling looked at the city gate that was illuminated orange by the light from the torch and frowned as she spoke.
"How about we rest here for a while and enter the city at daybreak?”The masked man found a clean patch of grass and sat down. He patted the grass beside him and said to Su Ling.
"There's no other way." Su Ling sighed and walked to the masked man's side to sit down. She did not know what kind of trouble the mother and daughter pair would cause tomorrow if she did not return the entire night. "Why did you help me?"
If this person hadn't moved fast enough, she would have been discovered by the two guards.
Because you're very interesting." The masked man chuckled.
"Am I very interesting?" Su Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Everyone says that the Third Young Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate, Su Ling, was born stupid, but I see that not only are you not stupid, you're also a female fiend.”The masked man shook his head and said," That slash of yours was clean and decisive. It's obvious that you're used to killing people, so you didn't hesitate to attack.”
He suddenly moved closer to Su Ling, and his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly." I'm really curious. Why did Third Miss Su's personality change so drastically after she fell into the water? Could it be that you were pretending to be stupid in the past?”
"Maybe I fell into Pingyue Lake and hit my head, so I became enlightened.”Su Ling met the man's gaze." Then what about you? Why were you on the beam of the City God Temple? Don't tell me you sleepwalked here.”
"I followed you all the way out.”The man admitted generously.
"Who are you, and why are you following us?”Su Ling's expression turned slightly cold.
" The reason I followed you is because I'm curious. As for who I am-" The man chuckled." Take a guess. If you guess it, I'll give you a big gift."”
"I'm not interested in who you are." Su Ling snorted coldly." As long as you don't interfere with my matters."”
This masked man who had run out of nowhere was so skilled that she could not help but feel wary.
"Obstruct? Are you afraid that I'll interfere with something good?" The man smiled." Are you worried that I will ruin your marriage with the Third Prince?”
"Well, if you want to destroy it, then destroy it. I don't care.”Su Ling waved her hand nonchalantly.
"What, could it be that you also despise the Third Prince for being lame and deaf?”
Su Ling felt that there was a hint of coldness in the man's tone when he said this. She said somewhat inexplicably," What does his crippling and deaf have to do with me? Whether it's a dragon steed or a phoenix steed, or whether he's crippled and deaf, it has nothing to do with me. Sooner or later, we'll be strangers.”
"Why do you say that?"
"Do you think I'll let others trap me in a small prince's mansion?”Su Ling smiled sweetly. In her previous life, she had considered traveling to famous mountains and rivers after she retired from the army and eating all the delicacies in the world. Now that she had been reborn, this wish still did not change." The world is big, I can't go anywhere. The imperial edict can't trap me, and he can't trap me. I will dump him sooner or later."”
"Throw?" The man's body stiffened.
"In your words, you should divorce him!”Su Ling vowed.
"Xio?" The man's body stiffened even more." It's really unlucky for this Third Prince to have you.”
"He's really unlucky to have to keep me by his side.”Su Ling laughed loudly." You also said that I'm a female fiend.”
"Yes, you are indeed terrifying."
The man looked up at her, and the two of them smiled at each other. Su Ling suddenly felt that this masked man was quite to her liking. He did not have the secular and old-fashioned habits that people of this era were used to. The two of them chatted happily. After chatting for the entire night, the sun gradually rose in the east. Su Ling looked towards the direction of the city gate. There were already farmers rushing to the morning market to pick vegetables and enter the city.
"It's a quarter to nine, I should go.”Su Ling turned her head and said, but she realized that the man had already disappeared. She was stunned for a moment and smiled." How rude. You left without saying goodbye."”
She stood up alone, dusted off the grass on her body, and entered the city with the crowd rushing to the morning market. Just as she passed the city gate, a carriage drove past and stopped in front of her. She saw a limping figure get off the carriage. The person asked her in surprise," Miss Su, what a coincidence."”
"Yes, what a coincidence. Where is Third Prince going?”Su Ling had no choice but to stop and greet Yan Yelin.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
