Jiang Segu cursed under his breath: Damn it!
She wasn't afraid of being tired at all; she was just afraid that these things wouldn't kill the person!
Now look what's happened, everything's gone!
Seeing her dejected look, Boss Meng actually laughed, "Now can you tell me why I made a bet with you?"
Jiang Segu's lips twitched slightly; it seemed he was still thinking about this matter!
Well, I have to say something to buy time.
"Is this your first time making a deal like this? Do I have to teach you? You haven't even gotten all the money yet, how can you lay a hand on me! At the very least, you have to make sure the employer is a man of his word. You can only kill me after you've got all the money! What if the employer goes back on his word and turns around and accuses you? Then you'll be outlaws!"
"Are you stalling for time?"
Before Jiang Segu could argue, Boss Meng added, "But what you said also makes sense!"
Jiang Segu suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. "That makes sense! I have a great idea..."
However, Boss Meng had no interest in listening to her good ideas. Instead, he said something shocking: "If the employer is really as untrustworthy as you say, wouldn't it be a bigger loss if I didn't kill you now? If I kill you now, at least I won't be lonely on my way to the underworld!"
This is a thought that leaves one speechless!
Jiang Segu stared at me for a long while before finally saying, "Don't you want revenge? If you don't kill me but are killed by your employer, at least you can spare my life. I can collect your body and avenge you at the same time!"
"Even if you avenge me, I won't be able to see it! It's better to have an interesting girl like you accompany me to the underworld!"
She's not funny at all, okay!
Besides, she didn't want to die!
Isn't it good for everyone to be alive?
Oh, right!
Jiang Segu's eyes lit up. "Don't you still have companions? Send your companions to the employer to ask for the money. If they can get the money, that's good. If they can't, or if the employer turns against you, at least you'll have a chance to escape!"
"Are you asking me to push my brother to his death?"
Jiang Segu shrank back, and said sheepishly, "I was just saying it casually! If not, can you do it for me? I'll go get the money for you!"
Meng Laoda was amused by her words, then took the rope from his waist and stepped forward to tie Jiang Segu up.
Jiang Segu wanted to struggle, but given the vast difference in strength between men and women, it was really... better to save his energy!
Seeing Jiang Segu extend his hands, Boss Meng raised an eyebrow slightly, then tied Jiang Segu's hands behind his back!
Jiang Segu once again sent his heartfelt greetings to Meng Laoda's elders in his mind.
She had thought that if she obediently stretched out her hands, Boss Meng would tie them up in front of her, so she could find an opportunity to bite the rope open. Who knew... that bastard not only tied her hands from behind, but also tied her feet!
After Meng Laoda tied up Jiang Segu, he got up and walked outside.
Before stepping out of the dilapidated temple, he said, "Wolves often appear here. I've set up a trap at the door. If you don't want to live, feel free to come out and try!"
Jiangse Valley gazes silently at the sky.
Is Boss Meng overestimating her? She's tied up like this, no wonder she can't escape!
Seeing that Meng Laoda was really about to leave, Jiang Segu called out to him, "Hey, where are you going? Can you bring me some food and drink when you come back? I didn't eat enough in the palace!"
Meng Laoda turned around, thinking to himself: Does he look kind and gentle? Otherwise, why would this little girl ask him for food at this time!
Just then, Jiang Segu said pitifully, "In the plays, they say that people who are about to die in prison are given a good meal. I'm not far from death right now, so you have to feed me!"
What would you like to eat?
Meng Laoda felt he must be possessed to ask such a question!
Jiang Segu smiled brightly, "Since we're going to buy things for you, let's go to Tianxiangju and buy you something good! Chicken broth lettuce salad, creamy eggplant fritters, stir-fried three delicacies... and braised pig's trotters, roasted lamb chops, stir-fried pork intestines... Oh, and there's also the mixed mushroom and crab roe congee that's so delicious it'll make your tongue tingle, the taste is like being in heaven! I've heard their aged Shaoxing wine is also good, but I haven't tried it yet..."
Jiang Segu was speaking animatedly when Boss Meng returned.
Jiang Segu awkwardly shut his mouth, "I guess my expectations were too high, otherwise you could do whatever you want... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, Meng leaned closer to her, and just as his face was about to touch hers, Jiang Segu said, "What do you want to do?" Then, the handkerchief in her sleeve was pulled out, and her mouth was gagged!
"I meant well, I was afraid you'd be too noisy and attract the jackals!"
Old Master Meng left with a smile on his lips; this time, he was really gone!
With a handkerchief soaked in sleeping potion in his mouth, Jiang Segu fell into a deep sleep before he could even curse Granny Meng!
Before she fell into a deep sleep, she was still complaining about Qiaohe!
She had initially disagreed with soaking handkerchiefs in sleeping potion, but Qiaohe didn't believe her, saying it might be useful in times of crisis!
That's great!
It really worked and did the other person a huge favor...
At this moment, Qiaohe was suddenly hoisted onto the man's shoulder, her head upside down as she watched rows of rooftops rushing past her. She was so frightened that she was dizzy and disoriented. During this time, her head hit the chimney several times, and she was about to faint. She had no strength left to pull the sachet.
Fortunately, the flour sachet had a slit made beforehand, so General Gu, being such a clever person, should be able to find them by following the flour!
With this thought in mind, Qiaohe felt relieved and fainted!
As for Jiang Zhihui, she was so frightened that she cried and screamed like a ghost. The bandits, annoyed by her, had already knocked her unconscious with a single slap!
On the other side, Qinghong was hiding from the pursuing bandits while running towards the palace.
Although she couldn't enter the palace, those people at the palace gates would never cause any trouble!
Qinghong prayed silently, hoping that General Gu hadn't come out of the palace yet!
Perhaps the heavens heard her heartfelt wish, for just as Qinghong arrived at the palace gate, Gu Songhan was coming out from inside.
"General, the Sixth Miss was ambushed on her way back!"
Gu Songhan's brows furrowed. "Take me there!"
The two had barely left the palace gate when the bandits following Qinghong intercepted their path.
Although Gu Songhan's injuries had largely healed, he was still worried about Jiang Segu, so he didn't hold back in any of his attacks.
The two roughnecks, realizing they had encountered a formidable opponent, initially wanted to retreat, but Gu Songhan refused to let them go, ultimately resulting in one of them being killed and the other injured.
Gu Songhan carried the injured man and had Qinghong lead the way quickly.
At this moment, only Niu Er, who was still unconscious, and the empty carriage remained at the alley entrance.
Seeing that there was no blood or signs of struggle at the scene, Gu Songhan drew his knife and stabbed the injured man's wrist, asking, "Where is your hideout?"
That gesture was a clear message to the injured person: if he didn't speak up, his tendons would be severed immediately...
