Shangguan Yaohua resisted the goosebumps that rose all over his body and forced a smile. He put on a fawning expression and said, "Naturally, a beautiful young lady like you is not something that ordinary people can touch. If I could personally … "Because he did not know what it was, he could only vaguely say," I would be willing to die if I could deliver it to you. But before that, I would not be willing to close my eyes. "
Ping Ruoyu giggled and said, "Don't worry, we won't harm you for the time being. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bear it either. If Cousin Yi heard that I mistreated the young lady who almost became his fiancée, would he immediately fall out with me? Prince Cheng, don't be anxious. After I deal with the old man, I will immediately come to find you. "When Manor Head Ping heard this, he laughed involuntarily and said," This stinky girl! She really makes me speechless. "
Before Shangguan Yaohua could reply, he was dragged out by a few servants. These people looked slow, but their strength was astonishing. When their hands pressed on his shoulders, it was like an iron hoop that he could not break free of. He originally wanted to familiarize himself with the manor's roads, but there were many twists and turns and it was really too complicated. Finally, the terrain took a sharp turn and he arrived at a gloomy and desolate place. In front of him was a prison cell. The door was equipped with sturdy iron bars. Even an internal energy expert would not necessarily be able to escape.
Shangguan Yaohua questioned, "Why did you bring us here? Just now, that Elder Ping … Manor Head Ping ordered you to bring us to rest. If you dare to indiscriminately punish us, be careful that when I get out, I will complain to him about you. Let him tie you up and throw you into the sea to feed the fish. "
The servant was expressionless. He took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. He slowly turned it, his five stubby fingers were an eyesore. Shangguan Yaohua said angrily, "Hey, Benwang asked you a question! Are you deaf or mute? "
The servant raised his hand and pushed the door open, making a long creaking sound. At the same time, his voice was mixed in as he said, "Stop being so long-winded. The rest that Laoye was talking about is to spend the rest of your life in this prison cell. "Finished speaking, both of his palms struck out. Before the two of them could react, their backs were hit heavily and they fell into the prison cell. Then, there was a "bang" sound, and the sound of iron chains being locked came from outside.
The servant coldly said, "In Ping Family Village, there is no Wangye or Emperor, there is only the master and the servant. This is not a place for you to abuse your power. "After saying that, he floated away like a ghost. That voice became his last words before he left. A deep loneliness was left between the two of them.
The Shangguan Yaohua was unable to restrain his anger; he kicked and punched the prison door until his whole body ached, but the door did not budge an inch. Nangong Xue couldn't bear to see him get hurt, so she raised her hand to stop him. She tried her best to speak calmly, "Since we're already here, let's take things as they come. Don't be too agitated. Let's calm down first and think of a way to escape. In any case, they probably won't come back for a while. "
The Shangguan Yaohua struggled for a while before he finally stopped kicking and punching. His anger could not be quelled, so he muttered curses under his breath, "That stinky girl surnamed Ping, she dared to scheme against me! Damn it, damn it … "Nangong Xue said," No matter how repulsive she is, she is still a girl who has spent countless nights with you as husband and wife. Don't scold her so fiercely. Won't you be turning your back on her and be heartless? "
The Shangguan Yaohua was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He anxiously said, "Ah Xue, believe me, I really didn't know she was a girl before! It was because I thought she was suspicious that I wanted to stay close to her and keep an eye on her … I swear to you, if I knew her identity from the beginning, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't have dared to have any improper thoughts! I … "
Nangong Xue smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. Just now … I was just joking, trying to find joy in the midst of bitterness. I am not related to you, I don't have the right to misunderstand you, and you don't need to explain yourself to me. "As she said this, her eyes gradually darkened. She sighed softly and said," You should be angry with me. Being in this situation, I can't avoid it, but you have been implicated by me. If I didn't insist on being with you, you might still be living in the Prince Fu's residence, living a carefree life as a young prince. "
The Shangguan Yaohua said, "How can you say that? We are in the same boat, we should share weal and woe, and share weal and woe. If you want me to abandon you and escape alone, even though I am a lowly trash, I won't do it. "
Nangong Xue smiled bitterly and said, "You still don't understand? I heard them say that in a few days, the Seven Demons will bring his disciple to Ping Family Village. I am his mortal enemy, I'm afraid that Manor Head Ping … wants to offer me as a gift to him, so that he can use me as a stepping stone for his pursuit of fame and fortune. "
Shangguan Yaohua said angrily, "Despicable and shameless! The Four Great Clans have been rumored to be so mysterious, but it turns out that they are just ants that rely on evil forces to survive! Ah Xue, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you … "
Nangong Xue looked at him and smiled sadly. Shangguan Yaohua's face immediately turned red. Both of them knew very well that with his insignificant martial arts, it would be difficult for him to protect himself in a chaotic battle, let alone someone else. At the same time, his competitive spirit suddenly surged and he thought to himself, "If I can't even protect the girl I care about the most, can I still be considered a man? I might as well die! "He said resolutely," In any case, I will definitely protect you! Even if it means risking my life … "
Nangong Xue's eyes turned slightly red. Shangguan Yaohua knew that she must be thinking about Lu Qian, who died to save her a year ago. He unintentionally mentioned her sad past and felt extremely sorry for her. Looking at her slightly trembling shoulders in front of him, he wondered how many indescribable burdens she was shouldering on her delicate shoulders. He just wanted to pull her into his arms, even if it meant letting her cry to her heart's content.
But in front of her, he felt exceptionally small. If she was a noble goddess, he was the mud in the ground. He really didn't dare to show his goodwill rashly and profane her holiness.
After a moment of silence, Nangong Xue suddenly said, "That's right, did you notice that Young Master Ping … Oh, I should call her Miss Ping now … Did you notice her dressing? After changing back to women's clothing, she looks like a young married woman … I wonder who her husband is? "He didn't know why, but he had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart. It was as if an extremely blunt knife was cutting into his heart inch by inch.
As soon as Shangguan Yaohua heard that the topic was about Ping Ruoyu, he was immediately infuriated. He said, "That woman can easily change into men's clothing when she's in the mood. I don't know what's wrong with her dressing as a young married woman right now. What's so strange about that? I'm afraid you're thinking too much. "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "No, you don't understand a girl's feelings. This is not the only case of a woman dressing as a man. But a girl who hasn't been betrothed yet, no matter how she disguises herself, even if she disguises herself as a white-haired old woman, she won't dress up as a new daughter-in-law … There must be a reason. I'm afraid … I'm afraid … "
Shangguan Yaohua saw that she was hemming and hawing and didn't dare to open her mouth. He frowned and said, "What you're trying to say is that the groom is Li Yijie, right? It just so happens that Miss Ping is publicly looking for a groom, and he just so happens to be there to watch the show. How can there be such a coincidence? Let me tell you, if he can be easily charmed by a woman like that, then he's a big bastard with no foresight. He's not worthy of your love. "
Nangong Xue sighed and said, "That's not what I'm worried about. Miss Ping has a free and easy personality. She doesn't look like she wants to settle down. She's also the daughter of Ping Family Manor. Manor Head Ping doesn't have to hastily marry her off … The four great clans have the intention to take over the Central Plains. I'm afraid that they can even take advantage of her marriage. Girls nowadays don't have any status at all. If that's the case, she's also a pitiful person … "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "A pitiful person must have a hateful side. She's just like the Seven Demons. She doesn't deserve any sympathy! "
Just as they were talking, a strange commotion suddenly came from beside them. The two of them were startled. They turned around at the same time and saw that in the shadows on their right was another prison cell. Dozens of prisoners dressed in different clothes were trapped inside. Their hair was disheveled and their clothes were sloppy. Their eyes were lifeless and their gaze was unfocused. They were all awakened by the two's words and crowded around them. Fortunately, there was a row of iron bars on the other side, temporarily separating them.
However, this group of people threw themselves on the bars and kept crowding around them. Their skinny arms reached out from the gaps between the bars. Their five fingers were stretched out in vain, trying to grab anything that could be used to cling onto them. Their faces showed deep-rooted hatred. Saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths and strange noises came out of their mouths. They were like hungry ghosts who had waited for thousands of years and wanted to grab the two of them and eat them alive.
Shangguan Yaohua and Nangong Xue were startled. Before they entered the manor, their weapons had been confiscated. They had nothing to rely on. However, they still instinctively assumed a defensive posture, hoping to use their momentum to seize the initiative.
From the outside, this group of people showed a deep sense of dejection. Even if they had martial arts, they wouldn't be able to use much of it. They weren't afraid of fighting one-on-one, but they were afraid that they would swarm them and stain their bodies with those rotten corpse-like fingers. They would be haunted for the rest of their lives. Shangguan Yaohua was the first to shout, "Who are you? What do you want? "
This group of people laughed strangely. In the midst of their discussion, they heard a few comments, "Excellent, another one has come. The dark world won't be lonely anymore." Finally, someone looked at him and sneered, "Hey, hey, hey, you're one of them, aren't you? You came to ask for Miss Ping's hand in marriage but ended up in jail? She doesn't like you at all. None of us can marry her … You're just locked up in jail. What right do you have to be picky? "
Shangguan Yaohua frowned, "Oh, there's no need to say more. You're all rich young masters from all over the Central Plains. You came all the way here to ask for Miss Ping's hand in marriage? You gave up a good life and came here to join in the fun? Even if a woman like that were to throw herself at me, I wouldn't want her. "
His words immediately angered the group of people who wanted to marry Miss Ping. They let out indistinct roars. Another person said, "You can't eat grapes, so you say the grapes are sour. Rumor has it that Miss Ping is an outstanding beauty. She's one of the most beautiful women in the world. Unfortunately, we didn't even get to see her once. We didn't even get to hear any exam questions before we were locked up. I think she didn't like us … "
Shangguan Yaohua sneered, "You didn't even see her face. How do you know if she's beautiful or ugly? You're already busy bragging about her? You're such a slave, you've really done your job well! I'll be honest with you. Not only have I seen her face, I've also slept with her. That woman is obviously an ugly freak. It's really not worth it for you to be obsessed with her. "Immediately, a few people took off their shoes and threw them at him through the iron bars. Shangguan Yaohua dodged left and right. His shoes missed and he sneered slightly.
Another person thumped his chest and sighed, "It's not fair, it's not fair! You're obviously married. Why do you still want to mess with Miss Ping's head? Aren't you blatantly two-timing her? Speaking of our family background, which one of us didn't make a name for ourselves in the city? Unfortunately, in the eyes of Ping Jia Village, we're not even worth a fart. Brother, your clothes aren't bad. You must be a relative of the imperial family, right? Don't tell me you got your clothes from someone else? "
Shangguan Yaohua said in a low voice, "Shut up!" His eyes were vaguely emitting sparks.
