Plop, plop—
Tan Tai Si's heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
The situation was so sudden that he was instantly at a loss.
He stood up straight suddenly and explained: "Sister, the table is too hard and I can't sleep, so..."
Jiang Jingyu moved inwards: "Sleep on the bed, just squeeze in."
"well."
Tan Tai Si folded his robe and lay down beside Jiang Jingyu, and asked tentatively, "Sister, are you still awake?"
Jiang Jingyu closed her eyes and touched her neck: "I don't know what pinched me, but the pain woke me up."
Tan Tai Si touched his nose in frustration. He had accidentally pinched her skin when he was putting the jade pendant on her...
After learning that Jiang Jingyu had just woken up, Tan Tai Si felt a little relieved.
"Maybe it's a mosquito bite, sister, go back to sleep."
"Well, good night."
Jiang Jingyu turned her body, and soon her steady breathing could be heard again.
Tan Tai Si turned his head to look at Jiang Jingyu's back. The two questions that popped up in his mind made him feel a little uneasy.
Why didn't the sleeping powder work on her?
Since the sleeping powder didn't work on her, then wasn't she asleep when he stole the jade pendant last time?
Did she know his secret?
Tan Tai Si's eyes were deep, and he rejected this idea as soon as it came to his mind.
Very few people knew that he was poisoned by a Gu. Even the people in Miaojiang were unaware of it. She had never met him before, so it was even more impossible for her to know about the poison.
Tan Tai Si suppressed his doubts and just thought that he had really hurt her and woke her up from the sleeping powder.
The bed in the inn was too small, and there was only a tiny gap between the two of them.
Looking at the black hair spread on the pillow, Tan Tai Si suddenly remembered the scene when she suddenly approached him in broad daylight.
He turned to look at her back and lifted a strand of her hair with his fingers.
Then he used his inner strength to break it without anyone noticing, and took a strand of her hair and placed it in his arms.
…
On the other side, Zhuzi, who left the shop, did not go home, but rode his horse at full speed towards the mountain village which was half a day's journey away from the town.
"Yu——"
Zhuzi, who arrived at the gate of the stronghold, tightened the reins and forced the horse to stop.
The man who was in charge of guarding the gate of the stronghold came over with a big knife and a torch after seeing the pillar.
"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the territory of Qingyun Village!"
"Little brother, I'm Wang Erzhu, a villager from Qinghe Town. I have an urgent matter and need to see your boss. I hope you can let him know!"
Zhuzi slid down from the horse's back swiftly and clasped his fists towards the man.
The firelight shone on Zhuzi's face. The man saw his face clearly and exclaimed, "It's you! Come in with me first. I'll go inform our boss right away!"
"Thank you!"
Zhuzi touched the silver in his arms and followed the night watchman into Qingyun Village.
The head of Qingyun Village, who was woken up in the middle of the night, looked displeased and shouted angrily outside the door: "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night!"
"Return to the boss, Wang Erzhu is here!"
After hearing the name Wang Erzhu, the boss suddenly sat up, picked up a robe and walked out.
"Are you sure it's Wang Erzhu?"
"Sure! I remember what he looks like!"
"Where are the people? Where are they now?"
"Waiting in the meeting room!"
Upon hearing this, the boss put on his robe and strode to the meeting room.
After seeing the person walking in from the door, Zhuzi hurriedly stood up and walked towards him.
"Boss, I have some clues about what you asked me to find out!"
"What are you talking about? Tell me! If you're telling the truth, I'll reward you handsomely!"
The boss's voice was rough, and he walked to the tiger-head chair in the main seat.
After getting his promise, Zhuzi smiled and took out the silver ingot from his arms, and presented it to the boss as if it were a treasure.
"Boss, what do you think this is?"
After seeing what was in Zhuzi's hand, the boss's eyebrows trembled suddenly!
He took the silver handed to him by Zhu, held it up to his eyes and examined it carefully. When he saw the familiar mark on the bottom of the silver, a strong hatred burst out from his body!
Zhuzi shuddered with fear: "Boss? Is there something wrong with this silver?"
The eldest boss pursed his lips, suppressed the hatred in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Where did this silver come from?"
"I got it from our shopkeeper. He said a young man from the Miao border paid him when he bought clothes in his shop."
As soon as the voice fell, the boss stood up suddenly and grabbed his big knife.
"Gather the troops and follow me to Qinghe Town to avenge our grievances!"
——
The next day, when Jiang Jingyu woke up, Tan Tai Si was still lying beside her.
She stood up and supported herself on the bed with her elbows, picked up the hair on her chest and swept it across Tan Tai Si's eyes.
"Ah Si, get up."
Tan Tai Si's eyelids moved slightly, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw the girl's smiling face.
Seeing that her attitude remained the same as before, Tan Tai Si became even more certain that she didn't know about the jade pendant.
"elder sister."
The corners of his mouth turned up, his charming peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was still hoarse and low as if he had just woken up.
Jiang Jingyu sat up from the bed and stepped over Tan Tai Si.
"The weather is nice today. I'm afraid the clothes you're wearing are a bit too thick. Let's change into something lighter and continue on our journey."
Jiang Jingyu opened the bundle as she spoke. After seeing the slight marks left on the clothes, her eyes flashed slightly, and she calmly took out a thin piece of clothing from it.
There was no shelter in the guest room, and Jiang Jingyu did not hide from Tan Tai Si. She bent down and untied the belt around her waist in front of him.
Tan Tai Si's eyes trembled and he quickly looked away from her.
Jiang Jingyu's hair was tied up high on her head with only a white jade hairpin. As she took off her clothes, the hairpin slipped from her hair and made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.
Tan Tai Si subconsciously looked over in the direction of the sound and happened to see Jiang Jingyu taking off her dress, leaving only a peach pink undershirt.
Her ink-black black hair fell down her back, her waist was soft and slender, so thin that it seemed almost impossible to hold it in one hand. Her fair neck was faintly visible under the cover of the black hair, and her buttocks were firm and round under her thin waist.
Tan Tai Si's breathing stagnated and his heartbeat suddenly quickened. He tightened his hands slightly, leaving a few shallow scratches on the bed sheet.
He knew that this was a bit offensive, but his eyes fell uncontrollably on the graceful figure in front of him.
Jiang Jingyu took out a moon-white robe from her bag and put it on with skillful movements.
After changing her clothes, she bent down to pick up the white jade hairpin that had fallen on the ground, and casually wrapped it around her hair a few times. The moment she turned around, she instantly became a handsome young boy.
"Ah Si, why is your face red?"
