Chapter 42 Ghost Market【9】
"Qu Baiyu, let me go...hiss..."
Yuan Tong'er suddenly stooped and breathed slightly.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?"
Seeing her hand covering her waist, Qu Baiyu quickly put her down and checked her. Then Yuan Tong'er took another deep breath and knocked his hand away angrily.
"Don't touch it, it hurts."
The wound on her waist was not healed to begin with, and the fatigue of traveling these past few days made her already poor body even worse.
"...Assassinated?"
Qu Baiyu asked.
After Yuan Tong'er fled to Beijing, he searched for her along the way. When passing a tea stall, he learned about the ghost market's reward for Yuan Tong'er. He immediately killed those who wanted to accept the reward and rushed to the ghost market all the way to remove the reward for her.
Unexpectedly, it was too late, and Yuan Tong'er was still assassinated.
“I don’t know who it was that insisted on killing me, and actually spent a lot of money to get listed on the ghost market’s reward list… I don’t know what made people fear me with my small body that had not lived for a few days. "
Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Qu Baiyu was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Do you want to know?"
"Who are you and the person who wants to kill you?"
Although he is still not sure why that person wanted to kill Yuan Tong'er, after this period of investigation, he can basically confirm that it is her!
Yuan Tong'er was silent for a long time. She suddenly didn't know whether she should know this, or whether she should know this from Qu Baiyu's mouth.
What are you afraid of? Maybe he's afraid that Qu Baiyu will deceive and take advantage of him again.
"Knowing who it is, am I capable of killing her?"
The person who can spend a lot of money to reward her in the ghost market is definitely not an ordinary person, but she has a body that can vomit blood even if she takes a few steps, and she has no power and power, how can she kill someone?
"I can."
The cabin swayed slightly, and the dim moonlight squeezed in through the window from time to time, and happened to shine on Qu Baiyu's delicate face. A pair of indifferent eyes flashed, and a voice as cold as a spring came out.
"As long as you come back with me, I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."
Yuan Tong'er was slightly stagnant. Ever since she was a child, no one had ever said a word to her, let alone fight for her.
She suddenly felt that the person in front of her might really stand up for her.
Qu Baiyu stepped forward slowly, held her hand, and lowered his head to look at her with eyes that were still hot even in the dim cabin.
Something strange suddenly arose in Yuan Tong'er's heart. Her panicked eyes didn't know where to look. She glanced tremblingly to the side, trying to take out her hand.
Qu Baiyu squeezed her tighter and took a step closer to her.
Yuan Tong'er's breath was filled with his unique pine scent, and she blushed instantly.
She took half a step back, "First, go out and talk later!" Then she strode out.
Thousands of river lanterns are placed on the river. Looking from a distance, they look like the bright moon and stars floating on the Milky Way.
"What happened to this ghost market today that it is so festive?"
Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but ask.
After saying that, he suddenly thought of the ghost market leader marrying her before, and frowned, "This can't be..."
Qu Baiyu crossed his arms and walked slowly beside her. After hearing this, he said leisurely: "My memory is really bad. Did you forget about the girl's wedding today?"
It's sour, with a sharp and strong smell of vinegar.
"The girl's peach blossoms are really prosperous!"
Yuan Tong'er smiled awkwardly, "I can't help it, who made me look so good-looking!"
Qu Baiyu snorted softly when he heard this, "Are you quite proud?"
With a "bang" sound, a giant firework exploded in the sky, and the world suddenly became quiet. All the noise and lights were wrapped in boundless brilliant colors, filled with brilliance.
Yuan Tong'er forgot to walk, so Qu Baiyu stopped and waited for her. She looked at the fireworks, and he looked at her.
Fireworks are gorgeous, and so is she.
Untimely screams were heard everywhere. Everyone looked back and saw a man riding a horse coming from the crowd in the distance.
The clothes on his body were fluttering, and the wind was blowing his slightly scattered hair, which was dyed with the brilliant light of fireworks. He was so high-spirited that it was hard to take his eyes away.
Immediately, the man was fair and tender, with a quiet and beautiful face under the fine sideburns. Yuan Tong'er looked surprised and recognized it, it was Shi Wuqi.
Shi Wuqi rode his horse straight towards her.
"Yuan Tong'er, come here!"
Qu Baiyu saw Shi Wuqi's intention and shouted hurriedly.
He reached out to grab Yuan Tong'er who was standing aside. His fingertips traced the hem of his skirt, and Shi Wuqi's horse had already rushed forward.
The wind blows her wedding clothes, her belt flutters, and the light-colored butterflies embroidered on the corners of Yuan Tong'er's skirt flutter away.
Qu Baiyu's palm passed by, but before he could touch it, Cui Xiaoyi shouted "Your Highness, be careful", rushed over, and pulled Qu Baiyu back from the horse.
He watched helplessly as the lone Yuan Tong'er was picked up and taken away by the speeding Shi Wuqi, and disappeared in the crowd in an instant.
"Come on!"
Qu Baiyu broke away from Cui Xiaoyi, roared, and countless black-robed subordinates appeared behind him and chased after him.
I don’t know when the illusion of the ghost market has been broken, and the streets decorated with lights and colorful lights have turned back into a sky full of yellow sand.
In the boundless yellow sand, no one could find Yuan Tong'er's figure anymore.
The man in black robe knelt on the ground. Cui Xiaoyi frowned and said softly: "Master, go back! There is no place to hide in this yellow sand sky as far as the eye can see. That man is from the ghost market. If he wants to hide, I’m afraid we can’t find it either…”
Qu Baiyu stood there, looking at the place where Yuan Tong'er disappeared in the distance, his face calm.
"Look again."
He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't find it again, he would wait until later and enter the ghost market again.
The men in black robes looked at each other and Cui Xiaoyi. Cui Xiaoyi said impatiently: "Look what I'm doing, why don't you go find me quickly!"
"yes! "
Several black shadows disappeared instantly, and Cui Xiaoyi looked at Qu Baiyu.
Ten years ago, Cui Xiaoyi was bought by his biological father and has been with Qu Baiyu ever since.
He still remembered what Qu Baiyu said to him for the first time after buying him.
“My mother is gone, and my most trusted and best playmate is neither alive nor dead.
Even though I am rich and powerful now, I am still the same as you. He who loses his love is lost forever..."
A scimitar embedded with precious stones was handed into Cui Xiaoyi's hand.
Although he is young, he has always been smart, just like he saw that his father wanted to exchange his son for food, and he also understood Qu Baiyu's saying "He who loses love is lost forever".
Cui Xiaoyi raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. The dim sunset soaked the twilight, like fire, like the blood of his father who unsheathed the sword that year...
After waiting for a long time, the men in black robes scattered away and never appeared again. Qu Baiyu is ready to enter the ghost market again.
The biting wind stirred up a piece of yellow sand. When the yellow sand fell away, a person suddenly emerged not far away.
Qu Baiyu's dim eyes lit up instantly and he took two steps towards the man. The man came over.
"Your Highness! Your Majesty has urgently summoned you to enter the palace!"
Qu Baiyu's eyes moved slightly, and his slightly disappointed eyes remained calm for a moment.
"Do you know why Your Majesty summoned me?"
The person who sent the message replied: "It's probably about the case... Manager Wang said it's about the state system..."
As soon as these words came out, even Cui Xiaoyi understood.
The clues in the case were all leading to Concubine Dao, but Concubine Dao's son, the Sixth Prince, was born with the name of auspiciousness from heaven.
Not only that, Emperor Jingyuan was afraid of Lizhou and had no choice, so he tried to check and balance it in many ways. Among them, Nanliang, the mother clan of Concubine Dao, is the most important party. He won't touch her unless absolutely necessary!
Therefore, Emperor Jingyuan probably won't let Qu Baiyu continue the investigation this time!
