After hearing this, Xia Daohua suddenly felt that it was right for her to stuff Linghua into the space.
At first, she wanted to jump out of the car with Linghua, but considering that there is no such thing as a thief for a thousand days, instead of guarding against the other party's endless tricks, it would be better to meet the boss behind this group of people this time.
Once you understand the details and know exactly what the other party is trying to do, you can prescribe the right medicine.
If the other party is too greedy, I don't mind convincing them with physics.
But then he thought again, if the other party's methods were more despicable, separating Linghua from him and threatening him to do something to Linghua, it would be easy for him to escape but it would be inconvenient to save her.
Therefore, it would be safer to send Linghua into the space first.
Although they might find something wrong, if their main target is themselves, it shouldn't have much impact whether Linghua is lost or not.
As it turned out, her bet was right.
The other party's target was indeed her, not the little brat Linghua.
In the second half of the journey, the carriage became increasingly bumpy. It was unclear whether it was because the road conditions were too bad or they had sped up.
Xia Daohua didn't bother to memorize the route. After all, it wouldn't be too late for her to find out where she was after she met the mastermind.
Since the other party went to so much trouble to capture her, they surely wouldn't just kill her with a knife without saying anything the moment they meet.
The group entered the carriage several times to check, and then the train slowed down. A strong and tall man like a black iron tower lifted Xia Daohua upside down and carried her feet up on his shoulders, saying loudly like thunder:
"Why hasn't this girl woken up yet? Song Lao San, did you give her too much medicine? If she becomes stupid later, the master will not forgive you!"
A thin, dark-skinned man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't care."
"Although I prepared the medicine, it was Sister Huang who gave it to her. Even if she really is stupid, she should blame Sister Huang for giving her such a strong medicine. No wonder my medicine is so overbearing!"
Xia Daohua gently opened one eye a crack and saw the two people. She also saw the carriage she had been riding in, which had been decorated to look like a funeral carriage for corpses.
No wonder the journey was so smooth!
Although the upside-down posture was uncomfortable, in order to pretend to be dizzy, Xia Daohua could only continue to pretend to be unconscious.
Fortunately, in order to take Linghua to eat, she wore men's clothes.
Xia Daohua secretly felt lucky. If she had been wearing women's clothes today, her skirt would have probably fallen off by now!
Xia Daohua was carried into the house. She opened one eye slightly and looked out through the gap between her eyelashes. She saw that the house was decorated in an antique style, but the layout was a bit out of place.
There were sandalwood tables and official hat chairs on the floor, and in the middle was an eight-panel hollow wooden screen. Behind the screen was a large red step-out bed with elaborate carvings and draped with curtains.
If it is said to be the young lady's boudoir, the official hat chairs and tables outside make it look like a place for receiving guests.
If it is a place for receiving guests, then what is the step-out bed behind the screen?
Xia Daohua was thrown onto the table by the black iron tower like unloading cargo with a "bang", and she cried out "ouch" and "woke up".
Black Iron Tower coughed twice, cleared his throat, moved closer to the screen, and said in a low voice, "Master, the person is here."
Xia Daohua looked up and found a person standing behind a hollow owl pattern on the screen. The person's eyes were shining brightly, looking out from the owl's eyes, staring at her without blinking.
Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on her scalp when she was stared at by that gaze.
Could this guy be... a pervert?
Those eyes stared at Xia Daohua for a long while without blinking, until Xia Daohua was already considering whether to give him a ruthless blow, before he finally came out from behind the screen.
He is short and fat, with a round, white smiling face and many wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. At first glance, he is a person who is always talking and laughing.
His hair was thick, black with some white hairs mixed in. It was tied into an ordinary man's bun, but it was held up with a valuable jade ring.
The clothes he wore were also made of poplin with a black background and a floral pattern of five auspicious blessings.
But his lips and chin were smooth and beardless.
Xia Daohua had a vague guess that this man was most likely a eunuch... As for his age, he must be at least fifty years old.
As soon as I heard him speak, I became more certain:
"You little girl, you're quite capable! It's really not easy for our family to invite you to meet us!"
Xia Daohua smiled, twisted a few times, and looked at the rope around her body:
"I'm young and inexperienced, but I've never seen anyone use a rope when inviting guests to meet."
The fat eunuch smiled, and his smile was very natural. If it weren't for the sharp flash in his eyes, Xia Daohua would not have been able to tell that the warm smile was fake.
"Interesting! Interesting! I guess he's just a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger. No one has ever been so fearless and confident in front of our family!"
Xia Daohua smiled and said:
"I'm just a country girl, and I've just been in Jixiang County for a short time.
I don't know who you are, nor have I heard of your deeds. You look so kind, and you just invited me to be your guest...
Why should I be afraid of you?"
Xia Daohua said as she shook herself to get rid of all the ropes on her body:
"It's not comfortable to have this rope tied around my body all the time, so I'll take it off first. Do you mind?"
The fat old eunuch's eyes sharpened and his expression darkened:
"Little girl, you really have some skills! It seems that you have fooled all my people!"
Xia Daohua smiled slightly, a look of self-satisfied joy appearing on her little face:
"As for ability, I don't think I have much. But as for luck, I do have some."
The fat old eunuch's expression changed again.
He didn't believe in ability. No matter how powerful a person was, they would eventually be killed. Even if they seemed powerful when they were alive, countless people would still remember them after they died.
But he knew that death was death.
None of those who died at his hands, whether capable or not, has come back to find him so far.
But he believes in luck.
He feels that the biggest gap between people is the gap in luck.
If he had not been unlucky and born into a poor family, he would not have starved to death and would not have made up his mind to enter the palace.
But after entering the palace, if it weren't for his luck, he would have been just a menial servant and would have had no chance to get close to the emperor, become his most important playmate since childhood, and now the most powerful eunuch.
Even those important officials in the court who had served as generals or ministers had to give him some face when they saw him, no matter how much they criticized him in their hearts, and nodded to him and said hello.
The biggest confidence of this little girl in front of me is actually her luck?
