"Brother, there's no need to lose your temper." Linghu Qiu tried to persuade him.
Niu Youdao said calmly, "I'm just trying."
"Trying what? You … "Linghu Qiu paused halfway and seemed to realize something. He asked suspiciously," Do you suspect that she knows the content of my conversation with Wei Chu? "
Niu Youdao raised his chin towards the night sky outside. "We'll see in an hour!"
Linghu Qiu was silent. If it wasn't because Niu Youdao's question was too obvious and Niu Youdao just said to try, he wouldn't know why Niu Youdao was so angry. Sure enough, he wanted to try!
He had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but now he had the patience to wait and see.
Hong Xiu didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the two. But she couldn't ask in front of Niu Youdao.
About half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves came from outside. The movement of the carriage was very clear in the middle of the night.
Niu Youdao sneered. "She's probably here."
Linghu Qiu slowly stood up with a dignified look.
A carriage stopped on the road outside. The moon butterfly illuminated the road. A woman in a gorgeous dress came leisurely. When she saw the people in the pavilion, she smiled charmingly and walked over quickly.
"Is it her?" Niu Youdao asked faintly.
Linghu Qiu nodded.
Niu Youdao smiled. "Since she's here, things are simple. Someone sent me a pillow when I was dozing off. Interesting. "
Linghu Qiu asked, "Are you really that interested in her?"
Niu Youdao didn't answer. He looked at the woman who walked over seriously.
She seemed to have just got up from somewhere. Her hair was crooked and her clothes were untidy. Half of her breasts were exposed.
Although Xu Niang was middle-aged, her face was slightly wrinkled, and her skin was a little loose, but her foundation was there, and her ten thousand kinds of charm still existed. It could be seen that when she was young, her beauty could indeed make a bunch of men bow down to her skirt.
"Linghu, what are you doing? You're ruining my mood this late at night." Guan Fangyi complained to Linghu Qiu as soon as she walked over. Half of her fair chest was exposed, and it was somewhat dazzling under the moonlight.
Linghu Qiu tilted her head and gestured to Niu Youdao. "Don't get the wrong person. I'm not the one who spoiled your mood. It's him." Her tone was a little cold.
The other party couldn't stand Niu Youdao's threat and came within two hours. This made him understand that Niu Youdao's judgment was right. This woman really knew about his conversation with Wei Chu.
Guan Fangyi had long noticed Niu Youdao. At that moment, she sized him up and said, "This must be Niu Youdao, Brother Niu?"
Niu Youdao smiled, "Exactly."
Guan Fangyi immediately giggled, "Brother Niu killed the Yan envoy, Zhuo Chao, and defeated Kunlin Shu. I have long admired you. Now that I see you today, you are indeed an imposing man."
Niu Youdao, "Those are all empty words. You still gave me the cold shoulder for a long time."
Guan Fangyi showed a little bashfulness, "Aiya, what a coincidence. I met two gigolos today. They are really good at serving people. I couldn't get away from them. Brother Niu, please don't laugh at me."
Niu Youdao, "It's a consensual love between a man and a woman. We didn't do anything evil or shameful. It's nothing to laugh at."
"Haha …" Guan Fangyi laughed and trembled. She looked around and met Hong Xiu's eyes. She found that Hong Xiu looked at her chest with contempt. She stopped laughing and pulled the cloth on her chest to cover it, "It's impolite to meet a guest with disheveled clothes. If you are not in a hurry, let me tidy up first."
Niu Youdao, "I have waited for so long. I don't mind waiting for a while. There is no hurry. Please help yourself."
Guan Fangyi smiled and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao, who was behind her, added, "Anyway, you can't run away!"
Guan Fangyi's body slightly stiffened. Her expression changed. She called out, "Serve the guest tea!" Then she walked down the stairs and left.
Soon, tea was sent to the pavilion.
Niu Youdao said to the person who sent the tea, "Please bring a set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"Okay!" The person took the tray and left quickly.
After a while, the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were sent. Niu Youdao sat down and personally dripped water to grind the ink. Then he spread out the paper and dipped the writing brush into the ink. When the tip of the brush fell, the writing was neat and beautiful in black and white.
Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu walked to his side and looked at what he was writing. They didn't know what he was writing in the middle of the night.
After the writing expressed the general meaning, Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu looked at each other in disbelief.
When Niu Youdao finished writing the last word, Guan Fangyi also came back.
When he entered the pavilion again, Guan Fangyi had dressed herself up. She asked with a smile, "Brother Niu, what are you writing in the middle of the night?"
Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu looked at her with a strange expression. Guan Fangyi wondered if she did not do her makeup well.
"Nothing. I just want to give you a bright future!" After Niu Youdao gestured for her to sit down, he lifted the paper in his hand, blew the ink, and then handed it to her, "Have a look. If there is no objection, you can sign it."
Sign what? Guan Fangyi was curious. She took it in her hand and shook it to look at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the uglier her face became.
Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu had been paying attention to her reaction.
They saw what was written on the paper for the first time, so they naturally knew what it was. If they did not see it, they could not imagine it.
To put it bluntly, it was a contract to sell herself. The general meaning was that Guan Fangyi was willing to follow Niu Youdao and be a slave. If she was disloyal, she would suffer retribution.
Guan Fangyi's chest rose and fell rapidly. When they met, she wanted to ask why he was looking for her, but she did not expect to see this thing.
Guan Fangyi put down the contract and stared at Niu Youdao. She said in a low voice, "Brother Niu, are you joking?"
"I am not joking with you. What do you think I am looking for you for?" Niu Youdao shook his head and handed the pen in his hand to her, "Sign it and print it with a bloody handprint."
Guan Fangyi said with grief and indignation, "This is the future you want to give me?"
Niu Youdao asked, "If it is not a future, what is it? Do you really think you can stay in Qi Capital for the rest of your life like this? "
Guan Fangyi said with a cold face, "I am only a middleman for my customers. I only help my customers to do business. I do not sell my freedom."
Niu Youdao said, "Do you think I am here to discuss with you? Do I need to discuss with you? "
Guan Fangyi suddenly stood up. She bit her lips and said angrily, "Niu Youdao, don't go too far!"
Niu Youdao held the pen with two fingers and raised it to her chest, "If you don't sign it, the people in Fu Fang Garden will not see the sun tomorrow. If you sign it, they will be fine. You will only lose your freedom. Those who can follow you in the capital must be people you trust. Why do you want to implicate them? "
"Even if I don't deal with you, Jin Wangfu is not deaf or blind. They already know what I know. Maybe they will make a move on you tomorrow. In the capital, who is willing to go against Jin Wangfu for you? It's different if you follow me. You know very well whether or not I have the ability to protect you. As long as you become my people, Jin Wangfu will not dare to act rashly against you. At least in the capital, they will not dare to touch my people easily. "
"So it's not that I am going too far, but I want to help you. There are not many people as enthusiastic as me in Qi Capital. You have no choice. Do you still need to think about it?" Niu Youdao reached out and grabbed her wrist. He put the pen in her hand, "Don't worry, I never treat my people badly. Sign it!"
His words and actions, especially his amiable and gentle manner of persuasion, caused Linghu Qiu to feel a chill run down his spine. This cheap brother of his was like a demon in his eyes at this moment. He was truly a person who would devour people without spitting out their bones!
In the eyes of Hong Xiu, Niu Youdao was like a devil luring a poor little girl to fall into the abyss step by step.
Hong Xiu still didn't understand what was going on. She didn't understand how things became like this. They had just met for the first time.
The pen in Guan Fangyi's hand was trembling. She stared at the paper on the table with grief and indignation. Tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
She had been careful for so many years in the capital. There were some things that she dared not touch. There were some things that she had always avoided. She didn't dare to get involved in them. She knew that once she got involved, it was very likely that she would be doomed eternally. She had amused others with her beauty for many years. It seemed to be glorious, but in fact, it was very fake. She couldn't afford to play.
As a result, she was still involved.
If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your feet wet! She understood this truth. But she didn't expect this day to come so suddenly and in such a way. It was really difficult to accept.
Niu Youdao urged, "Sign it quickly. If you delay it, it will be easy to have more problems."
Guan Fangyi turned her head to look at him. She cried silently, "Niu Youdao, you and I have never met each other. There are no grievances in the past or recently. Why do you force me like this?"
Niu Youdao said, "I said it's for your own good. If you don't want to sign it, I won't force you. I can leave now. But once I leave this Fu Fang Garden, it will be another group of people who will come in! It doesn't matter to me whether I have you or not. There is only one chance. You decide for yourself. "
However, Guan Fangyi couldn't make a decision. She kept crying.
"It seems that I am forcing you. Alright, Second Brother, let's go!" Niu Youdao waved his hand and called out. He turned around and left.
Is it true? Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu looked at each other and muttered in their hearts. But they still followed him.
When the three of them walked down the steps of the pavilion, Guan Fangyi, who was in the pavilion, said sadly, "Stop!"
The three of them looked back and saw that Guan Fangyi had bent down to write. She then threw the pen in her hand and turned her head to face her palm. She spat out a mist of blood from her mouth and dyed her palm red. She immediately waved her sleeves. Slap! The bloody palm imprinted on the indenture.
She supported herself on the table and lowered her head. Her tears fell and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.
Niu Youdao walked back to the pavilion. He grabbed her wrist and pulled. The indenture was already in his hand.
