Chapter 350:
"Liar, when I left the capital, I saw my father call you away alone, what did my father tell you?"
Xing Qi had a hard time, but he didn't look back.
Ning Yuanhou gave him a secret poison from the south of the Five Ridges. If he takes it and fails to get the antidote within a year, he will bleed to death from his seven orifices. This is the price he has to pay for staying by Gu Danxue's side.
Ning Yuanhou also said that no matter how much he did, it was impossible for Gu Danxue to be with him, because his origin was unknown and would only bring danger to Gu Danxue.
When Gu Danxue is completely cured, I will help her find a honest and kind man to marry.
Xing Qi suppressed the fleeting bitterness in his heart, and said in an understated tone: "Oh, Lord Hou promised the servant that as long as the girl whom the servant coaxes is happy, he will give the servant a hundred taels of gold."
Gu Danxue should have breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, because of her inferiority complex, she would always be trembling with respect to other people's kindness and kindness to her, and always wanted to repay the other party twice. But at this moment, hearing him casually say that all the good things he did to her were only because of rewards, she felt an unspeakable sense of loss in her heart.
She shook her head secretly, and abruptly changed the topic: "What's for lunch today?"
Xing Qi heard that her tone was wrong. Although he didn't know what was going on in her heart, he guessed a little bit. To make her happy, he said: "Didn't the girl say she wanted to eat grilled fish last time? This servant will catch it for you."
Gu Danxue immediately put aside all emotions when she heard the words, and asked with bright eyes: "Are you serious? But there is no stream near here!"
Xing Qi observed the terrain, then listened: "There should be a river at the end of the forest ahead,"
Gu Danxue followed him for more than a quarter of an hour, and she saw a stream from afar.
Xing Qi cut a wooden thorn with a dagger, channeled his inner strength in his hands, and with a burst of water splashing, several fishes frantically flopped on the shore.
Gu Danxue stared intently at his swift gestures, and an untimely thought came to his mind, why isn't the person in front of him a man?
Then he shook his head helplessly. If he was really a man and so good, he probably wouldn't even look at her more.
She couldn't help thinking about it again, she said: "I'll go get some firewood."
Xing Qi put all the fish into wooden barrels, "How can I let the girl do the work, the servants will pick it up, and the girl is in charge of supervision."
Gu Danxue shook his head: "Then you go, I'll wait for you here." Then he took the wooden bucket in his hand.
Xing Qi was worried, and repeatedly told her not to wander around. Before leaving, he left the dagger that had just been cut and stabbed for her self-defense.
Gu Danxue squatted next to the wooden barrel with a dagger, staring at the fish flopping about in the barrel,
Raised the dagger and swiped back and forth twice, but in the end he couldn't make a move.
At this moment, a man's vulgar curses suddenly came from his ears. Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly stood up vigilantly, but it was too late.
I saw more than a dozen burly men walking out of the woods on one side. They didn't seem to be walking fast, but they seemed to appear by the stream in an instant. It can be seen that this group of people are all skilled practitioners.
At this time, a group of people were laughing and swearing, when they looked up and saw a beautiful girl standing by the stream, their eyes that had been murdering people all year round suddenly lit up.
The leading man laughed and stepped forward: "Yo! How could such a handsome girl be born in this barren mountain? Could it be the official lady who eloped with her lover!"
As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately echoed with a wicked smile: "Is it the official lady, you will know if you taste it!"
A group of men laughed maliciously.
Gu Danxue clenched the dagger in his hand, forced himself to be calm and said: "My companion is nearby, he is very good at kung fu, if you don't want to be caught by the government, you should leave quickly, I will pretend that I have never seen you before."
The leading man laughed loudly: "What a pair of fateful mandarin ducks who eloped! But you woman reacted so quickly that you were able to guess our identity."
