Destroy plum
Before Mei Sheng could react, a powerful force struck her, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already inside the tent.
The tent was large and looked newly built.
Mei Sheng was secretly annoyed. Why hadn't she noticed him when he came over?
"Xiao Sheng?" Pei Jue stood a few steps away from her, staring at her face and lips, wanting to hear Mei Sheng's pronunciation again.
Mei Sheng had no professional training in how to change her timbre, so even if she lowered her voice, she couldn't fool him at this point.
Besides, she only applied a light layer of powder to her face. Over the years, she had gradually gotten used to the environment in the county and no longer used other people's faces all the time.
However, if you asked her to say on the spot that she was Mei Sheng, she wouldn't be able to.
She had thought about this moment of reunion many times over the past few years. As long as she didn't go home, she might be caught again.
Despite her inner turmoil, Mei Sheng kept her head down and remained silent.
Now that she had been recognized, Mei Sheng had no reason to hide anything. She simply accepted her loss, a ridiculous thought creeping into her mind.
At the desk, Pei Jue's face was gloomy. Seeing the woman in front of him remain silent, a surge of anger welled up in his heart and reached his head. Whether he was out of his mind or not, he angrily lifted the woman's chin and demanded, "I'm asking you, why did you leave?"
Leaving? It seems Pei Jue has already figured out the reason for his disappearance. Mei Sheng had a feeling when she heard that Pei Jue had defeated the northern army and won the victory.
With so many men under his command, as long as they are still alive, who can escape his grasp?
Mei Sheng only managed to escape thanks to the waterproof makeup provided by the jade pendant.
Pei Jue pulled the plum blossom jade pendant from his waist and said, "Isn't this very important to you? You don't want it anymore?"
Is this a fake jade pendant? Mei Sheng remained silent, shaking her head under the other person's murderous gaze.
Mei Sheng knew that shaking her head meant she accepted her identity. No matter what, she couldn't escape it now, and she was quite concerned about appearances.
At this point, it's best not to provoke him.
Seeing Mei Sheng's reaction, Pei Jue's irritation only intensified, and he sneered, "It seems it really doesn't matter anymore. Family doesn't matter, I don't matter, so what does matter?"
After saying that, he threw the jade pendant far away, and it sounded like it shattered.
"Those shops at the foot of the mountain, or rather, the people working in those shops?"
These words were clearly spoken through gritted teeth, and carried a threatening tone.
"Did they encourage you to do it?"
When Pei Jue said this, he had a seductive tone, as if to say that everything was someone else's fault, that you did nothing wrong, and that we could continue to pretend nothing happened, okay?
not good.
Mei Sheng couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Yes, I want to leave. I want to go home. Is that wrong?"
Is there anything wrong with that?
"Is there anything wrong with that?!"
"Then why didn't you discuss it with me? You really don't want to be with me!"
"Yes, I don't know you at all. Why should I be imprisoned by your side? Who are you to me?!"
Something seemed to have provoked Pei Jue, who laughed in anger and retorted sarcastically, "Yes, you don't know who I am? Is it because you have someone else by your side?"
Mei Sheng could never reason with Pei Jue, and she couldn't explain this inexplicable statement either.
"Good, good, good, you're very good." Pei Jue gripped Mei Sheng's wrist tightly and pressed her hard onto the bed. The bed in the military tent was very hard, and with this force, Mei Sheng felt a sharp pain in her shoulder blade. She said, "Move aside."
"If I step aside, who do you want to stand next to you?"
You're sick!
"Yes, I am sick, but Mei Sheng, even if I am sick, I will not let you go. You can only be mine."
The man's breathing, accompanied by his body pressing against hers, caught her off guard for a moment.
During the shoving, the man used even more force, and when their lips collided, both of them were in pain. As long as Pei Jue didn't let go, Mei Sheng couldn't break free at all.
This kiss was tinged with cruelty, unlike the affectionate kisses of the past; it was painful and unbearable.
In the midst of the raging wind and rain, Mei Sheng's strength was like a tickle, just like when she used to scrub his back, he said he didn't have much strength. Indeed, in front of him, she was too weak.
This disrespectful behavior enraged Mei Sheng. She immediately gritted her teeth to prevent Pei Jue from penetrating her. Pei Jue raised his head and sneered, "You, a woman without chastity, are you afraid of these things?"
The insults struck Mei Sheng like a heavy blow, leaving her not only dizzy but also with endless noise in her ears, making her feel nauseous.
It wasn't because the other person was someone she cared about so much, nor did it mean that Mei Sheng valued him; it simply meant that at this moment, she was being belittled, and in an extremely humiliating way.
Mei Sheng didn't know why he was belittling her, but it made her feel uneasy, and even made her lose all the respect she had for him.
Even if he was a great hero in the eyes of the people of Anhe County and even the northern counties, and the Grand Commander who was able to resist foreign enemies.
Is this how he treats a weak woman when he wields power?
In Mei Sheng's eyes, he is no different now than that despicable man who disregarded her wishes and told her to return to the Pei family and go south whenever he wanted.
Does she really expect to say something nice after being forced to?
He doesn't deserve it.
Mei Sheng, always calm and collected, had her plans disrupted and then suffered humiliation. She couldn't care less about anything else: "Yes, how much better are you?"
Moreover, Pei Jue is very knowledgeable about military formations and tactics, and it's possible that the change in the Feng family army's defensive line today was caused by him.
When the sarcastic remark reached Pei Jue, he suddenly laughed, a very faint laugh that offered almost no warmth.
"Very good."
Pei Jue's wrist shot upwards, and as he unbuttoned the first button on Mei Sheng's blouse, she became somewhat frightened: "What are you doing!"
Her hands were still as small as ever. Small hands mean little strength. Pei Jue easily subdued her with just one hand, while his other hand began to wander over her clothes.
"Stop!"
But Pei Jue wouldn't listen. He just kept unbuttoning the second button. When he got to the one he couldn't undo, he just ripped it open violently. In an instant, a patch of skin on his shoulder and neck was exposed to the air.
Without the slightest hesitation, Pei Jue buried his head and kissed her.
Where his lips touched, he could almost feel the tremor of the woman's skin. Until her outer garment was completely undone, leaving only a close-fitting undergarment tightly covering a certain slightly raised area.
Before Pei Jue could examine it closely, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
Seeing the thin, desperate woman bite him with hatred, he did not dodge.
As she bit through her flesh and blood dripped onto her skin, a strange, wicked glint flashed in his eyes.
"Does it hurt?" A gentle voice asked, and another hand gently touched Mei Sheng's head.
Mei Sheng paused, hugged the blanket and took a step back, staring warily at the crazy man in front of her.
He's gone mad!
Ignoring the wound on his hand, Pei Jue stared intently at the bloodstain, finally fixing his gaze on Mei Sheng's face. He gave a soft hum, almost murmuring, "Don't you know how to paint?"
"Draw me one, okay?" A large hand gripped her chin, preventing Mei Sheng from moving an inch.
Feeling threatened, Mei Sheng hugged herself tightly and stared at him without saying a word.
"You don't know how? Then let me draw it for you, okay?"
Pei Jue got out of bed, picked up the pen that was scattered at his feet, dipped it in his blood, and carefully drew on her shoulders and neck. The pen touched her skin and outlined plum blossoms.
Human blood was used, making the plum blossoms bright and vibrant, exuding an eerie aura.
Mei Sheng had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
She gritted her teeth and struggled, saying, "Don't force me to hate you."
The man said, "My dear Mei'er, you can leave after I finish painting. Don't you want to meet up with that person in the shop?"
The implication is that if something is not important, it should be destroyed, just like that jade pendant.
Mei Sheng used all her strength to suppress her anger and hatred, telling herself: Painting? What's the big deal?
The cold brush stroked along her shoulders and neck, each stroke disgusting.
After a long pause, she finally asked, "Are you done?"
"etc."
"It's not finished yet."
Before he could finish speaking, a woman began to protest vehemently.
The two guards outside the tent heard everything clearly.
"How could you be so cruel, sir? It seems you're not someone who cherishes the weak and vulnerable."
"Who would have thought the governor was like this?"
"Silence!"
Xiao Yin frowned. The governor was usually gentle, so this woman must be bewitching him. However, apart from his adopted sister from a few years ago, he had never seen Governor Pei treat a woman like this before.
Well, recalling the governor's crazy actions a few years ago, he thought: it's a good thing that the lord has found a new person.
Even at midnight, the sounds from inside could still be faintly heard, the shouts making the guards outside feel ashamed, wishing they could be blind and deaf.
"Pei Jue, you liar, you'll die a horrible death."
"Pei Jue, you'll go to hell!"
"Pei Jue, you are not human."
The guard lowered his head further and further.
The sounds inside the tent grew fainter, and they could still faintly hear Pei Jue's echo. He showed no anger at being called by his full name; instead, he growled, "Who am I?"
"Pei Jue, you're going to die!"
Curses and groans drifted out in fragments, while inside, Pei Jue's relaxed laughter could still be heard.
Even if I die, I'll take you with me.
"......"
The next day, Mei Sheng woke up and felt nauseous looking at the disgusting face in front of her.
As she looked up, a sharp blade came into her view. She got out of bed to grab the sword, but the next moment, the sword was kicked away.
The ribbon tied to the sword came undone and was mercilessly thrown to the ground.
"You can't even wield a sword. Even if I gave you one, could you guarantee you could kill me?"
The man's gaze lingered on Mei Sheng's shoulders and neck. Looking at the plum blossom painting he had drawn, he said with satisfaction, "It suits you."
Mei Sheng pulled her clothes tighter and said coldly, "Let me go back."
"good."
Fortunately, this time, he kept his word. Mei Sheng, her hands trembling, dressed herself and stumbled away, her back view resolute.
Pei Jue's smile faded, and his gaze turned serious.
He stared blankly in the direction the woman had left, lost in thought for a moment. Hadn't he been unable to forget her for so long simply because he hadn't been able to have her?
Pei Jue grabbed the blanket to get his clothes, but a splash of red stood out starkly among them. The bed was already covered in bloodstains, and this particular bloodstain blended in, making it almost invisible in the darkness.
It can only be seen clearly during the day.
She... was a virgin?
So, he misunderstood her?
But on that day, on the prayer platform, he clearly saw this person and a strange young man with a child, smiling and praying for peace and blessings after the war. Even when he was behind her, she didn't even glance at him.
Pei Jue never imagined that he would see her again.
He used to think she was dead, but later, with new developments in the case, he learned that she had escaped again.
Only she could completely disrupt his mind. That day, Pei Jue was so angry that his old injury flared up and he fainted, which is why he didn't confront her on the spot.
In that moment of distraction, by the time Pei Jue rushed out the door, the carriage had already left, as if avoiding him like the plague.
He summoned a guard from the shadows and ordered, "Find a few people to protect him well."
"promise."
At this moment, the dark-faced soldier came out of the opposite tent, glanced at Pei Jue strangely, lowered his head, and said respectfully, "Commander Pei, Major General Feng requests your presence."
