Chapter 106: Admitting My Mistake to My Wife
Hang Qi was horrified. After being forced to swallow the cold medicine, he struggled and asked, "What did you give me to drink? Do you know what this is? It's a capital crime to murder an official of the imperial court."
Lin Xi threw the remaining medicine bottles back into his backpack without leaving any trace to avoid being discovered.
"We're all going to die, why do we still care about this?" Lin Xi said disdainfully.
Hang Qi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "You just want to live, that's easy to say."
"I want to live?" Lin Xi tilted her head slightly, with a youthful and lovely aura, "You are the one who wants to live now, right? Do you feel your body gradually becoming numb?"
Hang Qi was startled, and after concentrating on feeling it, he realized that his limbs were indeed gradually becoming numb. He tried to move, but found it very difficult.
"Lin Xi, what did you give me to eat!" Hang Qi was furious.
Lin Xi said leisurely, "It's just poison. Leave us a chance to live, and I will give you the antidote. Otherwise, you will be a paralytic from now on."
"You!" Hang Qi was angry, but he could only agree to Lin Xi's request. Now the situation was reversed, Lin Xi was the knife and he was the fish. "I promise you."
The people around put down their weapons and spread out.
Xiao Yongyan suddenly pushed the man into the house, and Hang Qi, whose hands and feet were out of control, fell to the ground and couldn't even get up.
Without saying a word, Xiao Yongyan cut the reins of Hang Qi's carriage with two knives, picked Lin Xi up and put him on the horse, ready to leave.
Hang Qi shouted from behind, "I've already promised you to release him, give me the antidote now!"
Lin Xi took out something from his pocket and threw it at Hang Qi.
The people brought by Hang Qi were seen scrambling like crazy for the so-called antidote.
Xiao Yongyan whipped Lin Xi and ran away with him.
The whistling sound of the wind passed by their ears, and the two men and the horse suddenly felt like they were on the run for their lives.
After confirming Hang Qi's tracking range, Xiao Yongyan asked, "What did you give Hang Qi?"
Lin Xi said casually, "It's just rock sugar."
A laugh came from above Lin Xi's head. "Little girl, aren't you afraid of revenge from behind?"
Lin Xi didn't have the time to think so much. In the previous situation, it was good enough that he was able to survive. Who would care about these things?
The two rode all the way back to Taoli Village.
The villagers were quite surprised to see Xiao Yongyan riding a horse. Cows and sheep were very common in this village, but horses were really a rare thing.
But everyone knew that Lin Xi was rich, so they just thought that he bought it in the county town. Who would have thought that it was actually robbed by them.
When Dai Jiner heard that Xiao Yongyan and his wife had returned, she went to their house immediately. The previous incident almost scared her to death.
After returning home, she couldn't eat or sleep well, for fear that something might have happened to Xiao Yongyan.
Now that I see that they are both in good condition, I feel relieved.
"How is Brother Xiao's health?" Dai Jin'er asked.
Speaking of this, Lin Xi himself didn't know it clearly. He had just drawn his sword not long ago and had experienced such a fierce battle.
Xiao Yongyan smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. The doctor said that you have lost your energy and blood. Just come back and replenish it."
"That's good." After Dai Jin'er understood the situation, she hurried back to deal with her family's affairs.
The two of them finally had some free time, and Lin Xi sat in a chair, thinking carefully about what had happened.
"I didn't expect you to wake up so timely. If it was a little later, we would have become the victims of Hang Qi's knife." Lin Xi sighed.
Xiao Yongyan was full of confidence, "How could I let you fall into such a trap?"
This sounded like a good thing, but Lin Xi heard a different meaning in it, "Why are you so sure?"
"I was listening to everything going on outside." The moment Xiao Yongyan blurted out the words, he quickly realized that he had said something wrong.
Sure enough, Lin Xi's face turned dark in an instant.
It turned out that Xiao Yongyan had already woken up, but just didn't open his eyes.
She was terrified the whole time and almost wanted to die with him, but the damn man was awake the whole time and laughed at her.
Lin Xi felt a flame in his chest, burning more and more vigorously, and was about to burn his internal organs to a crisp.
"Xiao Yongyan!" Lin Xi spoke word by word.
Xiao Yongyan immediately jumped up from his chair, pretending to admit his guilt, "Madam, I was wrong."
Lin Xi smiled with a fake smile, which made Xiao Yongyan's scalp numb. "Tell me, what's your mistake!"
"I shouldn't have woken up without telling my wife. I made her worry about me." Xiao Yongyan was as obedient as a quail at this moment.
"What else?" Lin Xi asked again.
Xiao Yongyan didn't know how to answer this question. He felt that this was his biggest problem.
"Let me ask you, when did you wake up?" Lin Xi pressed.
Xiao Yongyan looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, "I am awake in the clinic."
Lin Xi felt like she was about to burst into flames. "Then why did you go out with him?"
If it hadn't been for that first thing, there wouldn't have been anything that happened afterwards.
"I just want to see who is behind this." Xiao Yongyan answered more obediently.
Lin Xi was speechless. "In the county, who else could it be except Hang Qi?"
What's the point of investigating this? It's worth risking your life to investigate it.
When talking about this, Xiao Yongyan's face turned serious. "There must be someone behind Hang Qi. Think about it, a young man who finally made a name for himself in the capital, if there is no promise of benefits, how could he be willing to come to this remote place to be a small local official. There must be someone behind this."
"Even if someone instructed it, you are just a farmer now, what else can you do?" Lin Xi was furious. If he was still the son of the Regent, of course he could investigate, but what could he do even if he found out now?
"Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan grabbed Lin Xi's shoulders, his expression extremely serious, "As long as I live, the people in the capital will not let us go. Now the time is gradually ripe, I want to start restoring and building our power."
Your own power?
Lin Xi had never been exposed to these things before, and when she suddenly heard Xiao Yongyan's words, her brain was a little confused.
“When my father was in power, he left behind a huge information network. Now many people in it have been killed or injured. I want to rebuild this network.
This is a difficult and dangerous road. Xier, you and I are husband and wife, whether you like it or not, you can't get off this pirate ship. "Xiao Yongyan said.
Having said that, what else can she say?
"Do I have any other choice besides being with you?" Lin Xi sighed.
"No more, Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan smiled even though it was a heavy topic. "You will be on the same boat with me for the rest of your life. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, no matter when!"
The two kissed in the dim candlelight. Behind them was a huge wave that was about to hit them. If they were not careful, they would be killed.
