After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 345 Then believe me too, okay?



Chapter 345 Then believe me too, okay?

Others laughed and said, "Master Bai, you don't know that General Wang has a fierce wife. This man would never dare to take her back, or my sister-in-law would not forgive him."

Yuan Yi also laughed awkwardly twice.

Bai Xiande understood instantly, "I see, then I won't force it."

After the banquet, Bai Xian De asked the girl to see them out.

Yuan Qing followed behind Yuan Yi and said, "Don't worry, just go back. Once I have figured out the situation here, I will find a way to get out. Leave some marks along the way and I will come to find you. Be careful."

Yuan Yi nodded slightly, "You too."

After returning to the inn, Yuan Yi felt a small piece of cloth in his clothes.

That was something Yuan Qing slipped into his hands during the banquet.

Bai Xian De's banquet was a perfect opportunity.

After the deal was done, Yuan Yi led those people away from Cenzhou.

The girls were no longer useful and were sold to other places by Bai Xian De.

When Yuan Qing regained his sight, he was surrounded by a group of unfamiliar girls and none of the familiar faces he saw before.

This is Cenzhou’s trading place, “Wanbao Pavilion”, where they are imprisoned, just waiting for customers to come and buy.

This should be the end.

Yuan Qing huddled in the crowd, curled up on the ground with the other girls.

Yuan Qing found an opportunity to allow the "evil disease" that he had accidentally contracted to slowly reveal itself.

She avoided others and sat alone in the corner, raising her hands to scratch herself from time to time, leaving bright red marks all over her arms and neck.

This scared the girls a lot.

The guard noticed her abnormality and hurried to report to the manager of Wanbao Pavilion.

The manager called a doctor to see, but he couldn't find the cause of the disease.

Seeing that she was already terminally ill and there was no need for any treatment, the manager simply ordered his men to throw her on the mountain and bury her.

The people digging the pit were afraid of being infected with a strange disease by her, so they only moved a few shovels and then stayed away.

"It's so unlucky that they dared to sell it to us even though they were sick?!"

Then he spat again, "Let's go, let's go back and let my mother help us get rid of the bad luck."

The two men left the hill carrying shovels.

Hearing that there was no more sound outside, Yuan Qing dug the dirt off his head and body, gasping for breath.

"These bastards are quite skilled. I wonder how many jobs like this they have done before."

She turned around and stepped into the pit, loosely covering the broken limbs and arms she had prepared in advance in the soil, and sprinkled some dark red liquid around to create the appearance of being eaten by a wild beast.

There was a sound of shoveling soil coming from outside the pit.

Yuan Qing: "???"

It's so late, who is still in this remote place?

Could it be that those two people were worried and came back again?

Yuan Qing leaned out and looked outside.

There was a man with his butt sticking out, robbing the house of the guy next door with great enthusiasm.

He was so focused on what was happening in front of him that he didn't notice that someone was watching his every move from behind.

Yuan Qing lay at the edge of the pit and watched with interest for a while.

The thief dug for a long time but didn't see any trace of treasure. He was so angry that he sat on the ground cursing.

Yuan Qing couldn't bear it any longer, so he took out the fake arm he had just buried in the pit and poked him in the back.

"My thief brother, if you want treasures, you should go to the tombs of the princes and nobles. That's where the good stuff is."

The thief froze and turned around in disbelief.

"you……"

"I?"

Yuan Qing parted her hair a little so that he could see more clearly.

The woman's face was covered in blood, with only her head sticking out of the pit. In her hand she was holding a severed arm dripping with blood. She was grinning grimly and trying to climb out of the pit.

"Ghost——!!!"

The thief was so scared that he fell to the ground, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

Yuan Qing raised his broken arm and shook it towards him, "Hey, brother, give me a hand."

The thief's breath was choked, and after he came to his senses, he ran away crawling with the shovel.

"Hey?"

Yuan Qing looked back at the deep pit that was almost as tall as himself and sighed softly.

Yes, she has to do it herself.

Yuan Qing found a river at the foot of the mountain, quickly cleaned himself up, changed his clothes, and followed the marks left by Yuan Yi to find the inn where he was staying.

Yuan Yi didn't lock the door at night for several days in a row.

He didn't know when she would come, so he stayed alert every night.

On the third day, he finally heard some noise outside the door.

The man walked very lightly, as if on tiptoe, and each step perfectly synced with his heartbeat.

He opened his eyes and saw someone sneaking around the bed.

Yuan Qing covered his chest and stepped back, "You scared me to death. You opened your eyes without even saying hello in advance."

Yuan Yi: "..."

Yuan Qing pushed him, "Are you in there or am I in there?"

Yuan Yi didn't say anything, but the action of getting out of bed already showed his answer.

Yuan Qing didn't hesitate. He just took off his shoes and crawled in.

Yuan Yi didn't seem to want to sleep anymore, so he picked up his sword and was about to go out.

"Where are you going so late at night?"

"…Night watch."

"...Okay, whatever you want."

Yuan Qing had just made the bed when Yuan Yi came in with medicine.

"Aren't you going to keep watch?"

Yuan Yi said nothing, took her feet out from under the quilt, and pulled them gently, and she moved a long way forward.

Yuan Qing felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She moved her ankles, trying to get out of his grasp, "You——"

"Don't move," Yuan Yi lowered his eyes and took the ointment, "If you don't take good care of it, it will get infected."

She didn't apply medicine to her feet in time, and she walked outside for so long that she caught a cold.

Although she didn't say it, he knew it hurt.

The moment the warm fingertips wrapped in the cool ointment touched the skin, Yuan Qing no longer felt the pain.

Her thoughts were in a mess and she tilted her neck back and moaned.

As soon as the voice came out, both of them were stunned.

Yuan Qing turned his head away, heat quickly spread across his entire face, and his toes curled up in embarrassment.

Oh~ How embarrassing! She had always thought she was just ticklish, but she didn't expect...

Is it too late to make up for it now?

Just as she was racking her brains to think of an excuse, the man chuckled muffledly.

Although the voice was not loud, Yuan Qing still heard a hint of disbelief in it.

She raised her chin and looked over, saying, "From now on, shut your mouth tightly and don't make any sound."

Yuan Yi tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Don't even have the slightest expression. Keep your expressionless face."

Yuan Yi: "..."

Yuan Qing was finally satisfied. He took a pillow from behind and leaned on it, kicking his feet like a big shot.

"Take medicine."

In order to distract his attention, Yuan Qing chatted with him in a random manner.

"How's the investigation going on with the Bai family?"

Yuan Yi shook his head. "They are very cautious. There are special people checking every link. They can't get their hands in at all."

It seems that this method is not working.

Yuan Yi suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Why can Ah Qing predict everything so accurately?"

Yuan Qing noticed that his hand stopped and looked over blankly, "This...you have to ask His Majesty, I am just following orders."

The man sighed, wiped the excess ointment off her feet, and tucked them back into the quilt.

"So trusting?"

Yuan Qing covered his mouth and yawned, "Nonsense, he is my brother."

The man leaned forward and placed his hands on her sides, running his fingers through her hair, smoothing out each strand.

"Then trust me too, okay?"

"...I believe you." She answered without hesitation.

Yuan Qing's eyelids felt heavy, and he turned around and pulled the quilt over him.

This is not the trust he wants.

Yuan Yi didn't know what to say.

He laughed in silence, pulled her head out of the quilt, tucked in the corners, and fell asleep sitting beside her.

……

On the second day, Yuan Qing changed his identity and took Yuan Yi to the largest trading place in Cenzhou.

As far as she knew, not only items were traded here, but also people.

Although it is not as unfathomable as the Paradise City in the North City, it is almost the same.

She put on a mask and stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.

The manager of Wanbao Pavilion spotted someone coming in through the door and hurried over to greet him.

"Isn't this Mr. Yue? What brings you to Cenzhou?"

Yuan Qing took out a gold ingot and placed it in his palm. "I just came to check the goods. Please arrange a room for me. Thank you."

It is the rule of Wanbao Pavilion to pay an ingot of gold when asking for directions.

Only those who can afford this money are qualified to enter Wanbao Pavilion to negotiate the price.

The steward put the gold into his sleeve and led the people to the second floor. "Please come this way, both of you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Yuan Qing and Yuan Yi looked at each other.

Soon the steward led a few people to them, and the servants lined up in a row, each holding a box in their hands.

The manager pointed at them and said, "Boss Yue, since you know the rules here, I won't introduce them in detail. Please choose one of them. What kind of business do you want to start?"

Yuan Qing didn't look at the boxes. "Do you have any new goods recently?"
