Chapter 282 Trapped, Mo Xuetong Was in Danger
It was a small tent. Because it was temporarily set up, there was only a table, a few chairs. There were several baskets of fruits and sunflower seeds. It was so simple that she saw them all in a glance. She arrived a little early and there was no one else.
Mo Lan wiped the table and found it turned out to be clean. Therefore, she helped Mo Xuetong sit down. “Miss, there’s no one else. I’ll go check at the door to see if I can get a cup of tea for you.”
Mo Xuetong couldn’t help but chuckle. “How will there be tea?” She rembered on their way here, they didn’t even see a few servants. It was really quite here, which was also dangerous. However, to figure out the other party’s identity, she had to risk herself.
The tent was set up on a small hill. If they waved hands from here, soone might spot them. “Miss, should I check at the door? Perhaps I’ll find one.”
Since Mo Lan insisted, Mo Xuetong had to nod approval. Anyway, Mo Lan wouldn’t go too far; she would only get to the door.
Mo Xuetong picked up an orange from the table and slowly peeled them while carefully listening to the surroundings.
It was quiet outside, and the human voices sounded scattered in the distance; she couldn’t quite make out what they were saying. Qin sound varied from slow and quick. Because of the Qin sound from all directions, she didn’t find it quite pleasing to the ear. In the end, she only felt noisy! The Qin gathering Bai Yihao organized was really disordered. However, it was just because of the disorder that everyone could relax at the gathering.
They could throw away all the rules they had to obey in the usual days.
They could talk to whoever they liked, and they could play aloof in front of anyone they disliked. It didn’t matter if one called them difficult, lofty, or true to themselves, today, these features all belonged to scholars. All of the other people, instead of viewing you with a sophisticated eye, would only think you’re a real scholar.
This must be why those Qin gatherings Bai Yihao organized turned out to be successful!
He made use of the weakness in humanity and used all kinds of ans to let down people’s guard. In this way, compared with in the rigid daily lives, sothing could be done easier. In such a relaxing atmosphere, people would let their guard down. That was how the human heart worked. Factors like environnt and vibe could all relax people.
Mo Xuetong’s lips raised in a small curve. She was about to put the peeled orange into her mouth. Suddenly, she put it down and her face paled. She listened carefully and suddenly rose up. Nonetheless, before she got back on her feet, her body heavily collapsed. Her vision turned blurry and she could hear familiar laughter ringing by her ear.
“Such a vigilant girl! Relax, don’t be afraid! You’ll feel better once you get there!”
“Who is it? Who is trying to hurt and anwhile comforting !” Before she could sort it out, she soon fell into heavy darkness.
Flas, nurous flas soared up!
Trapped in the sea of flas, she lay on the ground, blood dripping down her forehead. She couldn’t feel the burning pain on her body and only stared at two people outside the fire. They were Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun, who were dressed in red wedding garnts. Though looking awkward as well, they were not hurt.
Mo Xuemin watched her struggle in the fire with a sneer and at the sa ti dragged Sima Lingyun’s hand. The two seed to be in a quarrel. She couldn’t hear them. “Will Sima Lingyun try to save or sothing?” Mo Xuetong smiled coldly and fingered a burning stick beside her. Despite the pain, she grabbed it and flung it at Mo Xuemin.
She could no longer see anything and all she heard was a drone. Blood of tears started to ooze out of her bright eyes. However, she seed to see a man dashing into the fire. For so unknown reason, she felt she knew him. “What is he doing here? Save ?”
It was too late!
It was too late to do anything!
In the dark, Mo Xuetong jerked awake and started panting as if she could still see that red sea of fire and feel that burning pain that could almost rip her. Her hands and feet were twitching and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She hadn’t had such a dream in a long ti. Ever since she woke up from her resurrection, she had been having nightmares every day; then, they occurred less until she finally ceased having them.
It never occurred to her that she would dream it now, and it should be slightly different from before!
A man showed up in fire and rushed to save her!
She even could vaguely hear the man calling her! Did she miss sothing from her last life...?
She slightly moved her numb hands and feet.
Her hands crept over the couch but stopped because a man’s voice rang. “Has she waken up?”
It sounded like soone opened the door. After a squeak in the dark, she felt light fall on her body. She instantly shut her eyes, afraid of opening them and got into trouble.
Another man’s voice rang. “No. It’s still early. The drug effect can’t wear off so soon.” Afterward, the light vanished; the door was closed again.
Mo Xuetong slowly opened her eyes. Previously, when she put a segnt of orange into her mouth, she suddenly rembered that Mo Lan wasn’t outside the tent. She heard everything except Mo Lan. Mo Lan was going to get a cup of water for her. How could there be no sound at all? Even if Mo Lan walked out, there would still be footsteps.
At the mont when she felt sothing went wrong, she held her breath right away. Therefore, though she did pass out then, later, she woke up earlier than they expected.
Her hands and feet still felt sore and weak, therefore, she could only lie there in the darkness. She seed to be in a room, but she felt the slow and rhythmic swinging. Instantly, Mo Xuetong realized it was not a room but a moving carriage.
Soone abducted her and threw her into a carriage.
A driver, who was in his 30s, said to another one in his 40s. “Old Mo, will we really send her there? Such a sha. Master is really generous to give away such a pretty girl.”
Old Mo shook his head and sighed. “So what even if he’s reluctant? Old Qin, you don’t get your eye on the girl in the carriage, do you? She’s Master’s lover. I’ve been serving Master since young and I don’t rember seeing Master looking at so girl so affectionately. Master has never cared about girls. She’s blessed to have Master’s love.”
Recalling the jade-white and pretty face he just saw, Old Qin suddenly smiled sinisterly. “Blessed? Cursed more like. If he loves her, why does he want to send his lover into another man’s bed? He sends her there without good cause; she will at most beco a serving concubine. Such a misfortune for a pretty miss like her. She’s so beautiful and she might kill herself by bumping into a piece of furniture tomorrow.”
“She’ll hit her head on a piece of furniture anyway. Such a sha for a beautiful girl like her. Why don’t we...”
Old Mo slapped him in the back and glared. “Don’t try anything funny. Otherwise, you don’t know how you’ll wind up dead once Master knows. Don’t forget what happened to Old Han after what they’d done last ti. Unlike you, I still want to survive.”
Old Qin trembled rembering those bodies covered in blood because they had been cut many tis. His face paled and he murmured, “Master won’t know anyway. When that chick finds herself waking up in a man’s bed tomorrow, she’ll kill herself. Why can’t she serve...”
Old Mo grew impatient. “Why can’t you stop gibbering? You’ll die because of won one day. How can we get our eye on such a pretty girl? If you want to live, don’t touch anything on her. I’ve been following Master long, and I haven’t seen Master so serious for a woman. Just watch, Master will manage to get her back tomorrow, and then...”
Old Qin was imdiately startled by those words and no longer leered. Thinking of Master’s thods, he couldn’t defend himself in front of Old Mo anymore. He only bitterly lowered his head and casually cracked his whip from ti to ti.
Old Qin looked grumpy and Old Mo had to comfort him. “When it’s done, we’ll have so fun in Drunken Blossom Hall. We can have all kinds of won there. Why don’t we risk our lives for one single woman?”
“Alright. But it’ll be your treat.”
“You bet!”
“Soone wants to send into another man’s bed. I don’t know who that resourceful master behind those two is, but I must know him. When I passed out, I seed to fall into soone’s arms. I think he’s the one those two call master.
“It’s not Mo Xuemin. First, that soone is a man; second, if Mo Xuemin caught now, she would directly kill . She no longer fancies those little na-ruining gas. We’re like ice and fire now and can’t stay in the sa room. Rather than managing to get back, the thing Mo Xuemin wants the most now is to tear apart.
“From the way they talk, their master should be powerful and he doesn’t want dead. Instead, he wants to send into so man’s bed to benefit himself.” Mo Xuetong’s analysis had co to a dead end. “He’s too vicious. Even if I don’t die tomorrow, how will I end up any better?
“What does he want from even if it ans ruining my life?”
She went through all the nas in her head but couldn’t find a possible suspect. “And they call his lover? I don’t rember anyone who loves except Feng Yuran. But I don’t suspect Feng Yuran, because I just don’t believe he’ll set up.”
She carefully sat up and felt her hair. After making sure the pair of sword-shaped hairpins remained, she slightly relaxed. She couldn’t see the outside circumstances behind the firmly shut windows. They were two adult n. Even with the short swords, she wouldn’t necessarily match them. It must be at night because it’s quiet outside. When listening carefully, she only heard the clang of horseshoes.
It was not a good ti to attack. Even if she could kill them now, after that, there was nowhere for her to hide. The carriage rode on a road where nobody was in sight. Moreover, it was at night. None of these factors benefited her. She must wait, wait for the best chance to pull off one strike to survive.
Outside, Old Qin’s impatient voice rang again. “Are we there yet?”
Old Mo said, “Take the turn and we’ll be there soon. When we get there, you just shut up and let do the talking.” Then, Old Qin grumbled again in a low voice and Mo Xuetong couldn’t quite hear it.
Mo Xuetong imdiately lay back down. According to their expectancy, the drug effect shouldn’t have worn off by now, so she pretended she was still in a coma.
After riding for another short distance, the carriage slowly halted. Soone asked and it was a woman’s voice. “Have you got her?”
It was Old Mo’s voice. “She’s here. Look for yourself.”
The door was opened, and soone seed to have gotten in. It was a woman because she carried a faint scent. It was not a tacky type, but one which could only be slled on those elegant ladies. Mo Xuetong had detected it on so girls in the royal palace. Therefore, the woman who just got into the carriage had a high status.
Soone flashed her with a lantern. Then, it was the woman’s voice again. “I’ll take her. You should leave as soon as possible too. These are yours.”
With a thump, Mo Xuetong felt sothing like a quilt surrounding her. Two people respectively held her feet and head, carrying her off the coach.
