Chapter 183 Killing with Skills
There are erotic paintings of ladies hanging on the wall. The figures in the paintings are half-undressed, with lustful eyes and eyebrows. The fragrance lingering in the room makes people's mouths dry and their tongues parched.
He sniffed it carefully and found the fragrance indescribably pleasant.
"Well done, wonderful. Really wonderful!" Ouyang Zui patted the man's shoulder and let him go.
As soon as the person left, Ouyang Zui immediately started to tear off the clothes, grabbed one of them, and stared at the painting on the wall.
Various sounds in the house rose and fell with each other.
Until the second half of the night, the house was in a mess.
Ouyang Zui had drunk too much and was feeling a little suffocated. He got up in a daze, walked a few steps outside, and started to urinate in the moonlight.
Just as the sound of water was heard, a flash of white light appeared in the chaos.
Not far away stood a woman in white, with a smile on her face, yet she looked aloof and detached.
Ouyang Zui was immediately mesmerized and couldn't take his eyes off her.
The woman stretched out her white thighs from under her clothes, which looked pure, sexy and fairy-like. His eyes were wide open and he thought the people here were really good at arrangements. He would reward them well when he returned.
Ouyang Zui ran over impatiently and tried to hug her with one hand, but failed. He saw the beauty further away, "Okay, okay, you want to play hide-and-seek with me, right? You wait, don't let me catch you, or you'll be in trouble."
The beauty giggled and waved for him to come over. He lunged again, but this time not only did he fail to hold her, he also fell into the icy river. He instantly shouted, "Help..."
Before the words came out, a voice interrupted him.
"Ouyang Zui!"
Upon hearing the voice, Ouyang Zui woke up completely. He recognized it as Zhao Yan's voice. Sure enough, under the moonlight, the voice in black clothes and a hat, with only half of its face exposed, was Zhao Yan.
In the heavy snow, he fell into the river, shivering. Zhao Yan on the shore had an indescribably cold and terrifying expression.
"You...what do you want to do? I haven't settled the score with you for beating me up last time!" Ouyang Zui fluttered around a few times and felt weak all over. He thought it was because he drank too much. "Quick, pull me up. I won't hold a grudge against that divorced young lady from now on."
He spoke with great effort, as if he was about to die. It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned Yu Huatang. Once he did, the coldness on Zhao Yan's body intensified. "That's perfect. I have to settle accounts with you too."
Ouyang Zui was furious. "Are you done yet? I just said a few words to her. Is it necessary to do this? Even if I touched her, so what? I didn't hurt her. Are you done yet?"
The frost slowly froze his body. He wanted to climb up, but he felt he had no strength.
Zhao Yan sneered, "I should have killed you seven years ago."
He has always been gentle, but at this moment he was a bit fierce and sinister. Ouyang Zui was stunned when he heard it, and couldn't believe what he heard.
As expected, he looked around, but there was no beauty anywhere. Besides Zhao Yan, there was only one guard. He became terrified. "Is there something wrong with that incense? What do you mean? Are you going to kill me? I'm the king's uncle, aren't you afraid of having my family confiscated and my clan exterminated?" He couldn't believe it and said, "I think you're crazy! I haven't slept with your wife, are you crazy?"
"Who said I'm crazy? Who said I want to kill you?" Zhao Yan looked at him coldly. "Tomorrow is snowing heavily. The entire capital is covered in snow tonight. And you, because you saw something unclean on the street, rushed here impatiently. Today is also the anniversary of the Imperial Concubine's death. Tell me, if you were caught soliciting prostitution here, would you be punished? Would your father protect you? He would, but you won't live. You used forbidden drugs, had sex with someone, and then you had hallucinations and fell into the river. It's really late at night, no one heard your call, and by tomorrow you'll be an ice sculpture."
"Even worse, your servant left early because you scolded him. By the time he came to pick you up tomorrow, it was too late."
Ouyang Zui was extremely frightened, as he realized that all of this was an accident!
He came to solicit prostitution because of the erotic pictures, and because of the fragrance, he had hallucinations, thinking that there were beautiful women here. By the time he fell into the pool, his body had been drained by alcohol and sex. In addition, the fragrance that Zhao Yan used was made of unknown substance, which made him lose his strength and even have hallucinations, so he would be frozen to death in this river!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Zui climbed up frantically. At this moment, Zhao Yan took out another stick of incense, crushed it on the brocade handkerchief, and took out a light. When the smoke rose, he covered Ouyang Zui's mouth and nose tightly. The more Ouyang Zui struggled, the more he inhaled. In the end, he left a sentence, "I should have slept with her. I will make you suffer to death!"
Zhao Yan watched him struggle in the water with a cold look on his face. The drug took effect, and Ouyang Zui sank into the water in a daze. "Beauty, wait for me, wait for me..."
In the end, there was no sound.
Zhao Yan stood on the shore for a while and reached out to flick the snow off his body.
Just because he put his hands on her, he would never let Ouyang Zui live!
The heavy snow continued to fall, and soon it became even thicker. Zhao Yan waited by the side for one hour, two hours, until the river slowly froze, until he could no longer hear any sound, and until the heavy snow covered all the footprints along the way, then he left.
The carriage was moving fast, but not towards the Zhao Mansion.
Outside the car, An Yuan asked, "Sir, do you need to rest for a while? It will take a day and a night to get to Pharmacist Valley from here."
Zhao Yan said, "No need, it will be faster if we drive each other."
Ever since he heard the conversation between Su Qinghe and Yu Huatang, he had been planning how to get medicine for her.
During this period, he sent three letters to Su Qinghe, and Su Qinghe also replied three times. The last letter said that his senior brother had developed a medicine to cure blood deficiency, but the Pharmacist Valley had a rule that it must be exchanged for the world's most precious treasures or something ingeniously crafted.
Among them, his eldest brother likes bizarre and illusory things more. He will not agree with things that are too ingenious to be of great use. Su Qinghe instructed that he must look for them in southern Xinjiang.
He thought he could do something for her, so he asked someone to search for more than a month and finally found the "Mengdie Gilded Cup" in southern Xinjiang.
Legend has it that drinking the wine contained within allows one to infiltrate another's dreams and uncover their deepest secrets and desires. If the holder harbors evil intentions, the golden butterfly will flutter its wings and devour the holder. A powerful official who attempted to use the cup for rebellion was blinded by the butterfly in his dream, and upon waking, he went insane and died.
Zhao Yan did not believe in ghosts and gods or imaginary things, but he had a natural respect for the sacred objects of southern Xinjiang. He wanted to use them to exchange for the antidote for his blood dryness, thinking that it would be a natural thing to do.
But Yaoshi Gu replied that no one had actually experienced it and no one knew whether it was true.
However, Pharmacist Valley accepted the things and made an exception to allow him to get the snow lotus from Tianxing Tower. As long as he got it, Pharmacist Valley would directly present him with the medicine for blood dryness.
