Chapter 79 The King Didn’t Bully Her
The kidnapper in charge finally lost his patience. "The night is long and dreams are many. We can't stay here for long. Let's move to another place first. Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, the brothers will not move this girl for now. When you feel like it, send someone with a message. The brothers will definitely find a better place for you next time."
Zhao Xingbang was about to say that would be great, but then he felt that it would be embarrassing to agree too quickly, as people would think that he was really unable to do it.
He raised his chin and said calmly, "It's still early. It's not even daybreak yet."
The man said, "This place is not far enough from the capital. If someone comes looking for us, we'll be easily exposed."
"Is that so?" Zhao Xingbang sighed. "Why didn't you find a place farther away? You forced me to make a second trip. Isn't this just a waste of time?"
The man was disdainful in his heart, but with a smile on his face, "Mr. Zhao is right."
The short and fat man curled his lips. Zhao Xingbang's riding skills were so poor. He had said before that his butt hurt from the shaking. If he rode any further, wouldn't his balls have been broken?
Zhao Xingbang took the servant's hand and slowly stood up, but he grimaced in pain because of the pull on the wound. "Since, if that's the case, we can only talk about it another day."
He didn't even dare to put his legs together, and walked to the door with overly wide steps.
The two wooden doors were suddenly kicked open with a bang.
Zhao Xingbang was caught off guard and hit by the door. He fell to the ground with his legs spread out, screaming in pain.
Before the people in the room could react, a large number of well-trained guards rushed into the room and subdued the people in the room in an instant.
Pei Jing glanced around the room, and when he saw Jiang Fei tied to the bed, murderous intent surged in his eyes.
Her hair and clothes were disheveled, her wrists were rubbed bloody, and her eyes, which were always cunning and smart, were now red.
"Small--"
Duan Jiu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He covered Jiutao's mouth as she rushed in, and signaled the secret guards to escort the group of people out. He then dragged Jiutao out himself.
If Duan Jiu hadn't seen that Miss Jiang's clothes were intact, he suspected that his prince would have drawn his sword and killed her on the spot.
Pei Jing walked slowly to Jiang Fei, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
On the way here, he had originally planned that when he got to her, he would let the girl beg him to save her, and then he would repay her with a favor and make her listen to him obediently.
As for what he wanted her to do, Pei Jing hadn't figured it out yet.
Jiang Fei stared blankly at the person in front of her, unable to believe her eyes.
Why Pei Jing?
Why this person?
If those ten or twenty points of favorability can make him come to rescue her late at night with great fanfare, then when he loves someone wholeheartedly, will he entrust his entire fortune and life to that person?
There were only the two of them in the room, and it was so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing.
Pei Jing knelt on one knee on the bed, slowly untied the hemp rope that bound her, and then helped her sit up slowly.
From beginning to end, neither of them said a word.
Jiang Fei sat on the bed, bent her knees and hugged her legs. After a while, she looked at him and asked, "Why did the prince come to save me?"
This question broke the silence.
"If I don't come to save you, do you still want to wait for Wei Mingzhen to come and save you?" Pei Jing glanced at her. "He won't come to save you. Wei Ciying is also missing."
"What?" Jiang Fei was even more shocked. "Then why didn't you go and save Wei Ciying?"
Doesn’t he like Wei Ciying? Why would he abandon Wei Ciying to save her?
Pei Jing looked at her strangely, "Do you think I did something wrong by coming to save you?"
"No, no." Jiang Fei said quickly: "I'm just curious."
"What's strange?"
"I wonder why you didn't save Wei Ciying when you clearly liked her?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Pei Jing staring at her with complicated eyes.
Pei Jing narrowed his eyes, "Who told you that I like Wei Ciying?"
"It's in the book." Jiang Fei replied subconsciously.
"What book?"
"Heaven, the Book of Heaven."
Pei Jing reached out and touched her forehead, frowning and asking, "Did they hit you on the head?"
Jiang Fei turned her head away and said, "No."
Pei Jing's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, his eyes darkened a little, and he simply turned her head over and touched it.
There is no bump, so it seems that the head is not hurt, but why did he start talking nonsense?
Pei Jing's palms were warm, and his fingertips had thin calluses from years of holding a sword. He gently stroked her hair.
Jiang Fei froze and dared not move, feeling that the touch was too intimate.
But what emerged in her mind was not some beautiful picture, but the scene of a mother monkey holding her baby's head to catch fleas while climbing the mountain. It was not romantic at all.
"It seems that he is really not hurt."
Pei Jing withdrew his hand, looked at her thoughtfully for a moment, and suddenly leaned forward, scaring Jiang Fei so much that she leaned back and almost fell on the bed.
He placed his hands on her sides, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Jiang Rufei."
"ah?"
"Are you scared? Do you want to cry?"
Jiang Fei was stunned by his question.
The fear that had been suppressed for a long time was torn open by this seemingly concerned expression, and the fear and grievance could not wait to burst out.
Pei Jing's gaze moved from her slightly puckered lips to her red eyes. "If you're scared, just cry. Why are you holding it in? I love to see people cry the most, and I haven't seen you cry yet—"
With a sound of "Wow".
The thatched house was almost overturned by the crying.
Pei Jing took two steps back in shock, stunned. Duan Jiu and Jiu Tao outside also looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiu Tao pinched her sleeve nervously and asked, "Guard Duan, why is my young lady screaming? Did the prince bully her?"
Duan Jiu could only say, "I don't know."
The crying in the room became louder and louder, and Pei Jing's frown became deeper and deeper.
"Duanjiu! Come in!"
Duan Jiu responded from outside and hurried into the hut, with Jiu Tao following behind him.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Jiang Fei sitting on the wooden bed, crying with her head tilted back, and Pei Jing standing in front of the bed, at a loss.
"I didn't bully her!" Pei Jing answered without waiting for them to ask, then frowned and asked, "Why does she cry differently from other girls?"
When other girls cried, their eyes were wet with tears, like crabapples hit by rain, but when she cried, it was like the drum at the gate of the drum courtyard that had not been sounded for eight hundred years, and when it sounded it was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.
Duan Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Jiang's voice is very loud when she cries, and she sounds like she is in good health."
Jiang Fei cried and thought about the saddest things in her life.
From having candy stolen from me at the orphanage, to falling over the orphanage wall and being hospitalized for months, to having a car accident that landed me here just a few days after I bought my new car, to now having no money left in my pocket...
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and her cries became louder and louder.
Pei Jing frowned as he listened. After waiting for a moment and seeing that she showed no sign of stopping, he said in a deep voice, "Have you cried enough?"
