The seduction plan that had been abandoned by Daming Lake was finally picked up by a certain someone.
In order not to affect his performance, Gou Liang deliberately let the system block out 80% of his pain. With his previous experience, he easily made a painful expression.
[System: … Drama queen ○ ̄ _]
[Gou Liang: You flatter me.]
Zhong Quan, who had been ordered to leave by Gou Liang, did not go far. Instead, he waited in the dark.
He watched as his little master stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth. His eyes were full of humiliation as he tried to relieve himself. A rustling sound came from the quilt. Zhong Quan, who lacked experience, had good eyesight. He could see that Gou Liang's hand was rudely rubbing and pinching his chest and moving down in a violent manner.
Perhaps because it was too hot, his sideburns were quickly soaked with sweat. In the end, he could not help but lift the quilt.
The cold and hot collided. Gou Liang, who had covered his mouth, let out a muffled groan from his throat. His whole body trembled violently.
His clothes were wide open, and the scenery in front of his chest was unobstructed. His white skin was unevenly red because of his violent movements just now. The most eye-catching were the two dogwoods on his chest. They were different from the light cherry pink that Zhong Quan had seen when he wiped his body. At this time, they were standing upright and the color was deeper. They were unusually bright on his white skin.
He was still wearing his underwear. The hand that he had fiercely stuffed between his legs was not holding something like Zhong Quan had thought. Instead, it went past it and buried deeper, fiercely digging at something.
The subtle sound of water was accompanied by heavy breathing.
He could not bear it and made rapid breathing sounds. His other hand pinched his thigh and forcefully opened his right leg that he could not move. He pinched his thigh until there were a few glaring purplish-red marks, and his fingers turned white. But soon, as if he could not bear it, he let go of that hand and eagerly climbed back to his chest. As if he was torturing himself, he fiercely … twisted.
Tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Even if no one knew his current ugly state, he closed his eyes tightly and raised his head. His legs that could not move were completely powerless. His upper body twitched slightly, and the movements of his fingers became rougher and rougher. The veins on the back of his hand were undoubtedly exposed, and his knuckles were protruding.
But … this was far from enough.
Gou Liang whimpered helplessly. His entire body seemed to be in despair. Suddenly, he gave up all his movements and pulled his finger out.
His wet fingers made him hate it, as if they were stained with something dirty. He fiercely wiped them on the quilt, but the numbness and itchiness in his body did not let him go because of his self-abandonment.
His waist swayed uncontrollably. Gou Liang seemed to have made some kind of decision. He struggled to pull his pants down to his knees. Much to Zhong Quan's surprise, he took out a sharp blade from under his pillow and stabbed it between his legs.
"Master!"
Zhong Quan was shocked. He quickly opened the blade hidden under the pillow. He didn't know where it came from, but he didn't know when it was hidden.
Gou Liang's eyes were full of panic. He suddenly pulled the quilt to cover his face. He wanted to curse, but he forgot that there was something in his mouth. For a moment, he could only make hurried sounds. He looked at Zhong Quan angrily and wanted him to leave, but Zhong Quan didn't dare to let him go.
"Master, don't do anything stupid."
He wiped the tears and sweat on Gou Liang's face. He frowned and said, "Today, this subordinate will help Master. In the future, this subordinate will catch a few men and gouge out their eyes and tongues for Master to detoxify. "
Gou Liang shook his head again and again.
However, Zhong Quan held him up and lifted his waist slightly. His rough fingers reached into the muddy valley …
Gou Liang's body trembled violently. A few sounds rolled out from his throat. It was unknown whether it was resistance or comfort. He weakly raised his hand and tore off the cloth in his mouth, "Stop, stop!"
Zhong Quan didn't listen.
Gou Liang cried and scolded, "Zhong Quan! How dare you! How dare you defy me?! I told you to stop. Did you hear me? Get out! "
Zhong Quan's finger stopped. He said in a low voice, "Master, this subordinate is willing to accept punishment."
As he spoke, he began to move.
Gou Liang let out a cry. His brows were tightly knitted. His face was full of humiliation and an indescribable deep desire. He struggled and said, "I, I can do it myself … I don't need you … Don't touch me!"
Zhong Quan said, "Master, forgive this subordinate for not obeying."
Gou Liang's attempt to harm himself just now had already made him lose the trust of the Shadow Guard Leader, and Zhong Quan had already been forewarned by the old man. If the poison was not relieved, it would only get worse each time it acted up. Gou Liang had already used a lot of willpower to endure until now. But he couldn't allow anyone to hurt Gou Liang. Even if it was his master himself, he couldn't do it.
Gou Liang cried. Even if he didn't cry, he was desperate to the extreme, "I, I can endure it … Don't do anything unnecessary …"
He withdrew his hand that was pulling Zhong Quan. He seemed to have acquiesced to something and said his bottom line. Zhong Quan responded in a low voice and focused on detoxifying the poison for him …
The moon was high in the sky and disappeared into the horizon again.
When the first ray of sunlight appeared, Gou Liang's body deflated. He fell onto Zhong Quan's body and lost consciousness.
Zhong Quan turned pale with fright.
The old man appeared in time, "Don't panic. He's just too tired."
As he spoke, he went forward to check on Gou Liang's condition. He then sighed heavily, "This child is too stubborn. I'm afraid that next month … He doesn't want you. It's better to prepare early. If you really can't do it, go to the capital and kidnap that wild man. Cut off his hands and feet, stab his eyes, and let him play with you. "
Zhong Quan didn't respond.
Gou Liang, who was sleeping, had a teardrop of despair in the corner of his eyes.
[Gou Liang: Wuwuwuwu, he's not a man!!!!!]
[System: Master, what's wrong?]
[System: … That's awkward. Hehehe.]
That's right. For the entire night, no matter how much Gou Liang screamed, how shameful and ecstatic, the serious leader of the shadow guards didn't get hard. Even the frequency of his breathing didn't change at all.
This was simply — — a great humiliation!
The system had been eavesdropping for the whole night. At this time, it also cried tears of bitterness for its master.
But before it could think of words to comfort him, Gou Liang was revived.
[Gou Liang: Very good. You've successfully attracted my attention! (̄) ̄)]
[The system was frightened by his honeyed happiness and the sudden sunshine in his sea of consciousness: Mas, master, are you okay??]
[Gou Liang: I'm very good … He really doesn't have that kind of thought for the original owner. I'm relieved. (* ̄) ̄)]
[System: …]
[Ding. Target's current favorability: 80. Current mission progress: 0%!!]
[Gou Liang: Tsk.]
Gou Liang, who was sleeping peacefully, didn't know that the target that made him feel relieved had done some earth-shattering things.
In just half a month, the border between Daliang, the Northern Desert, and Western Wu was attacked by rapists.
The ones who should be picked were not young and mature women, but tall and burly men! Dozens of people were stripped naked in the night. These people were lucky not to be caught. Five or six people were caught in a row. Even the commander of Daliang's border was not spared. But his disappearance was the same as many people who had gone missing before. His brief departure was not noticed, and they didn't dare to make a fuss.
— — Things that were too small were thrown back. Even if they were killed, they wouldn't say a word.
Gou Liang had a headache as he looked at the naked muscular men who had been knocked unconscious and were lying side by side on the ground like corpses. Oh, one of them was actually as slender and thin as Li Yan, and his body was quite impressive. In order to find this guy, the loyal leader of the Shadow Guards had almost stripped all the men in the border town. His painstaking efforts were really moving — — Damn it!!
It was as if he had raised a little person in his temple. One moment it was punching and kicking, and the next moment it was practicing Tai Chi under Gou Liang's restraint.
The old man was excitedly squatting on the ground to examine these people, to prevent them from having any unspeakable problems. At the same time, he was also commenting on these people's things, which was extremely wretched.
Gou Liang couldn't help but sneer, "Since it's so pleasing, why don't you give it to grandfather?"
"Tsk, tsk, good fellow, this color seems to have harmed a lot of girls — — Hey, what did you say?!" The old man who came to his senses angrily jumped up and met Gou Liang's unrepentant eyes. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him.
Zhong Quan stopped him and said sincerely, "If master is not satisfied with these people, I will search the whole world for a suitable object for you." Looking at Gou Liang's rapidly changing eyes, Zhong Quan finally said, "If master is still thinking about that person, I am willing to — —"
"Shut up!!"
Gou Liang angrily smashed the water bowl and kettle in his hand at Zhong Quan's feet. The old man was shocked and was about to scold him, but he saw that Gou Liang's eyes suddenly became watery, and big tears fell down uncontrollably.
He seemed to feel that he had lost control. While wiping the excess liquid, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said to them, "Sorry, I lost control of myself."
The old man looked a little distressed and sighed. He patted Zhong Quan's shoulder and told him to drag these people away first.
The old man said earnestly to Gou Liang, "I have already told you about the pros and cons. Since you chose to treat your legs, you should have been prepared for today's situation. A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Don't tell me you still want to keep your chastity for one person? "
Gou Liang shook his head.
"I'm not doing it for anyone, it's just that … — — if I step into the Yellow Springs one day, I won't have the face to see my grandfather, father, and mother again …"
As he said this, the tears that he had stopped were about to burst out again.
The old man curled his lips and said, "A person dying is like a lamp being extinguished. You don't know what's in front of you or behind you. You think far ahead … — — If you really want to argue, back then they were unwilling to disobey the imperial order. They knew that it was a dead end, but they still wanted to walk up. Instead, they let you, a young child, bear all this suffering! And they still have the face to say that you are a disgrace to the family's reputation? If one day this old man goes down before you, I will definitely give them a good scolding! "
The corners of Gou Liang's mouth twitched as if he was comforted, but the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
He said, "I can still bear it. It hasn't reached that point yet … — — I'll just muddle through."
The old man saw that he wanted to escape, so he couldn't force him.
*
The moon waxed and waned. Time passed quickly.
Li Yan, who was far away in the Capital, pondered over Zhong Yue's words. In order to preserve his prestige, he secretly sent people to kill a few of his own subordinates who were not important to him. This made the water more and more muddy.
According to Zhong Yue's words, the three people who died before couldn't have been killed by the original owner. To a certain extent, his divination was not wrong.
Then, King An and the emperor were the biggest suspects.
Although they were all King An's subordinates and had conflicts with Li Yan on the surface, they were all insignificant people who did not contribute much to the court and the country.
In other words, their deaths didn't have a big impact on King An's faction. Instead, it made Li Yan's reputation fall to the bottom.
It could only be said that Gou Liang's timing was too good.
The Gao faction was cut off, but they had deep roots. The Emperor ruthlessly uprooted them. The court also suffered heavy losses and was in turmoil.
Li Yan's position as the Crown Prince was not stable yet. The emperor had just been hurt by his son. Now that he had recovered from his illness, he knew that he could live for a few more years. His mentality was very twisted.
Obviously, he hated the former Crown Prince and didn't have a good impression of his young and healthy son, Li Yan, who had started all this. Li Yan must have guessed that Emperor Wu wanted to live for a few more years before kicking him out and letting his innocent and lovely youngest son take over the throne. Therefore, after being reminded by Zhong Yue, he cut off his own tail to protect himself.
Moreover, it was the imperial examination period. Li Yan was busy courting scholars who had a great opportunity to show their talent. This was to pave the way for his future in the court.
Now, there were rumors that he was so intolerant that he would kill the officials without a word. Even if it was just a rumor, it made many scholars who had not really stepped into the court tremble in fear.
Once the scales were tilted, King An would do a few good deeds to gain popularity. Naturally, people would side with King An.
It could be said that Gou Liang had deftly picked out a few thorns, but he had made Prince An stand on the side of justice. He had used an aggrieved expression to ruthlessly divide up a portion of Li Yan's power. Moreover, King An had the support of the emperor. Because Li Yan's "actions" were too self-opinionated and vicious, many courtiers who valued their lives stood on King An's side under the emperor's hint.
It could be said that although King An had just entered the court, his wings were not inferior to Li Yan's, who had fought alone in the court for nearly a decade.
With such a gap, Li Yan would hate King An as long as he was not blind.
From the results of King An's benefit, he and the emperor were too suspicious. Li Yan firmly believed in this "truth".
However, Li Yan was also ruthless. Two of his subordinates died in succession, and they were both people he had expressed his desire to promote and praise.
Once they were dead, no matter what speculations others might have, Li Yan's name was cleared of suspicion.
Instead, he began to complain. He wrote a letter of apology, stating that he was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and asked the emperor to punish him. Then, he took the so-called evidence to the emperor and pushed the blame to the remaining henchmen of the Gao family.
Although the emperor did not believe it, the Gao family was now a sensitive point for him. He would rather believe the wrong person than let go of the possibility of the remaining members of the Gao family. He immediately ordered the Crown Prince and King An to thoroughly investigate the matter. They must not let go of anyone suspicious.
"Royal Brother, you're really good. I wonder if those two officials thought of the Crown Prince's praise when they went home to burn incense. But it just so happened to be a death sentence for them."
King An was young and impetuous. He could not help but mock as soon as he left the imperial study.
Li Yan smiled faintly. "How can they compare to you, Imperial Brother? In order to frame your elder brother, you're willing to do anything … Heh, let me give you a word of advice. If you really want to touch me, killing a few watchdogs is useless. Like Lord Li and Lord Chen in your hands … If they're dead, you might have a better chance. "
He called out the names of the two Ministers from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Appointments who were under King An's command. He glanced at King An faintly and left without waiting for King An to retaliate.
King An was annoyed. "Despicable!"
He was not in a hurry to leave the palace. Instead, he angrily went to the harem to visit his mother.
Gou Liang thought, 'You're going to tell your parents? This child was too sweet. '
However, after witnessing King An's mother's methods, he dismissed the idea of watching a child play tricks.
King An's mother, Consort Shu, one of the four concubines, said, "Have you ever thought that the Crown Prince might not be behind this?"
King An and his aides obviously did not consider this angle. "If it's not him, then who is it?"
Consort Shu said, "This seems to be a move against you, but in reality, the person behind this is our Crown Prince. Perhaps, it's really like what he said, it's a surviving member of the Gao family, or perhaps … "
She did not continue.
King An urged her, so she took King An's hand and wrote the word 'Royal'.
King An gasped. "This, this …"
"Shh." Consort Shu calmly raised a finger and said, "Since His Majesty has entrusted this matter to you and the Crown Prince, no matter what the cause is, you should remember the result that His Majesty wants. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
King An calmed down and nodded.
Gou Liang saw this and was interrupted by the old man.
He came to remove the gauze for Gou Liang.
This was not the first time Gou Liang had removed a mummified bandage from his face. In his previous world, he had filmed a movie with the theme of plastic surgery. At this time, he was sitting here, waiting for the bandages to be removed one by one. It felt much more mysterious than that time.
Finally, the face that had been hidden for more than two months was exposed to everyone.
"Mirror."
Seeing that the old man and Zhong Quan did not speak, Gou Liang took a deep breath and said.
The target was too close, he could not see how ugly his face was now!
The old man stopped Zhong Quan who was about to move. "What mirror are you looking for? What can you find here other than sand? You're a man, no matter how good looking you are, what's the use of it other than seducing men?! "
Gou Liang raised his hand and touched it. His fingers touched an obvious bulge. His gaze froze, then he stubbornly touched the entire scar.
Zhong Yue was too ruthless. His face was cut from the left side of his forehead to the right side of his cheek. A diagonal line was across his entire face …
He took a deep breath and looked at Zhong Quan. "It's ugly, isn't it?"
Zhong Quan said, "Your subordinate swears loyalty to you, Master. It has nothing to do with your appearance."
Gou Liang, "… Hmph, wait until the moon is full in two days, then you'll know whether it has anything to do with me or not!" (/\ "/)
