Pei Yun sat behind Leng Qingqiu. As the horse galloped, his body shook, and his chest occasionally touched Leng Qingqiu's back.
Leng Qingqiu's cheeks were slightly red. Pei Yun couldn't see her expression, but he could feel that Leng Qingqiu's body was very tense.
The night wind blew, Leng Qingqiu's hair fluttered in the wind, gently hitting Pei Yun's cheek, with a faint fragrance.
"Can you tell me why you wanted to kill Cao Bing?"
Pei Yun felt that Leng Qingqiu was a little nervous, probably because it was her first time riding with a man, so he spoke to divert her attention.
Leng Qingqiu was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I am an orphan, and the Chen family in Changliu Village took me in."
"Three years ago, I returned from my apprenticeship..." Leng Qingqiu's voice gradually became low, as if he was recalling the scene three years ago.
"From a distance, I saw the front door of the Chen family open. The yard was terribly quiet. Then I saw someone coming out of the Chen family. After seeing me, he left quickly."
"I realized something was wrong and rushed over. I smelled blood outside the yard. When I entered the house, I saw all seven members of the Chen family lying in a pool of blood. They were all killed by a single knife."
"I originally wanted to settle accounts with that bastard, but I heard a noise from the inner room. I hurried in and saw the second sister of the Chen family, who was as close to me as a sister, lying naked in a pool of blood."
At this point, Leng Qingqiu's body trembled a little, and her voice also trembled a little. Pei Yun stretched out his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, "What happened next?"
"My second sister was still alive. She told me that the military marquis Cao Bing saw her beauty and had evil intentions. He forced his way into the house and tried to humiliate her. She had no way of resisting and could only accept the humiliation. However, her screams alarmed the rest of the Chen family."
"Cao Bing was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so he killed all seven members of the Chen family. My second sister didn't survive in the end."
"Just when I was about to seek revenge on Cao Bing, the police came and said that I had killed the entire Chen family and wanted to take me to the police. I had no choice but to escape. After that, the government was looking for me, so I had no choice but to join the Misty Rain Tower and take shelter temporarily..."
Pei Yun felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and he unconsciously put his arms around Leng Qingqiu's waist and let her lean on his chest.
"You haven't found a chance for revenge in three years?"
Leng Qingqiu nodded. "That bastard Cao Bing is very cautious. He either stays in the barracks or brings guards with him. I can't get close to him at all."
"Every time I think about how that bastard has been alive and well for three years and even rose from a military marquis to a captain, I hate myself for being useless..."
Having said this, Leng Qingqiu could no longer continue. Pei Yun thought to himself, your title is the Ruthless Sword, but you are not ruthless. You are quite loyal and righteous. How could you get such a title?
He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say, "Cry, it will make you feel better."
"Cry? My tears dried up three years ago. I swore I would never shed another tear."
Then she felt something was wrong, and when she looked down she found Pei Yun was holding her slender waist. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed. She was so focused on reminiscing that she didn't even notice that the other person was holding her.
"Let me go."
Leng Qingqiu's voice returned to its cold tone, and Pei Yun loosened his hand awkwardly. It must be said that Leng Qingqiu's waist was really thin and her butt was big. The waist-to-hip ratio was really amazing.
"Don't worry, if what you said is true, I will help you get revenge."
Leng Qingqiu was immediately angry, "You think I'm lying."
"I did not mean that……"
"drive!"
Leng Qingqiu shook the reins violently, and the warhorse, which was originally trotting, suddenly accelerated. Pei Yun instinctively wanted to hug Leng Qingqiu to steady his body, but he saw Leng Qingqiu fall off the horse in an instant.
Pei Yun: (⊙_⊙)
Damn it! Ruthless!
Isn't this a trap for me? He quickly grabbed the horse's neck to steady himself from falling off.
Xu Zong: ???
These two were arguing like that, but weren't they fine just now? He also saw Pei Yun holding Leng Qingqiu in his arms, thinking that his eldest brother was really charming.
Leng Qingqiu can be said to be the most unwelcome person in Yanyu Tower. The title of ruthless sword is not something she gets casually. It is something Leng Qingqiu earned with the sword in her hand over the past three years.
He will never show mercy when he strikes, and if he can kill with one sword, he will never use a second sword.
My brother is a role model for our generation as he was able to conquer such a cold girl. But now it seems that it’s a little too early for me to be happy.
Leng Qingqiu had a cold face, as if someone owed her money.
Xu Zong wanted to say that it was her blessing to be able to follow Pei Yun, but when he saw Leng Qingqiu's cold face, the words could not come out.
Just do it.
He ran past Leng Qingqiu and chased the horse.
Leng Qingqiu waited until Xu Zong ran far away and originally wanted to return to Qingyang County. She hated the feeling of not being trusted and didn't want to be a guard anymore.
But those delicious foods inexplicably emerged in her mind, and she couldn't find a way to take revenge now. Pei Yun was a thousand households and had the opportunity to come into contact with Cao Bing. In addition, the other party had those magical methods, which made Leng Qingqiu feel that following Pei Yun was the best chance for revenge.
After thinking about it, I decided to follow him first.
…
Pei Yun finally managed to stop his horse and broke out in a cold sweat.
He was not afraid of falling off the horse. With his current physical condition, he would only suffer minor injuries at most. But if that happened, he would lose face.
He claimed to be the reincarnation of a god, but in the end he was brought down. His prestige was gone in an instant.
He also didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to be so petty and seemed to be very insecure.
After getting off the horse, Pei Yun rested for a while. Xu Zong ran over, a little out of breath. To be honest, Pei Yun really looked at Xu Zong with a new respect.
