Chapter 437: Falling into a Trap
The carriage soon arrived at the area under Quhe's management and had to cross a bridge to get to the city.
The city here is built in the middle of the water, majestic and luxurious.
Once a carriage reaches the main gate, it cannot enter the city. This is the rule here.
Yan Qingqiu jumped off the carriage, glanced toward the city gate, and said to Li Rongsen, "Look at this Qu He. He keeps saying he's the poorest and has the least money, but this place he built is really beautiful. It's in no way worse than West City."
"It's possible that he's complaining about being poor because he spent all his money here." Li Rongsen came here for the first time and felt it was very fresh.
Yan Qingqiu said to the guard standing at the door, "Hey, are we going into the city?"
"Where are they from?" asked one of the guards.
"We are from West City." Yan Qingqiu told him, thinking that calling out this name would make them more sensible, but the guards did not agree.
However, a man on the city gate had some ideas, turned around and went back to his mansion, and when he went back, he specifically instructed the guards not to let them into the city.
That's right, Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen stood outside for a long time.
Yan Qingqiu sat in the carriage again. He was not in a hurry. He thought that Qu He would suffer for neglecting him like this, and he would use this to reason with him later.
Li Rongsen asked, "What's going on? They won't even let us through the city gate."
"Don't worry, let's wait." Yan Qingqiu said to him softly.
After a while, someone emerged. He looked like a housekeeper, followed by several servants and maids. He strode forward, approaching Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu, and said, "Excuse me, both of you. Please follow me into the city."
"What is Qu He doing? Why did he leave us outside for so long?" Yan Qingqiu asked as he jumped off the carriage.
"I'm just getting ready to welcome you two, so I'm a little late." The man said with a smile, while making a gesture of invitation and looking at Li Rongsen's face twice.
Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen followed the man into the city.
The man did not take them directly into Quhe's hall, but took them to a luxurious mansion and asked them to wait there first.
The housekeeper said, "There are two places here, one is the pavilion over there, and the other is the pavilion over here. Which one do you think is most suitable for resting?"
"Let's stay here." Yan Qingqiu looked around the room and found that it was fully furnished with food. It was better than going to the pavilion to get some fresh air. Besides, that place was only a little bit big, so it was better to stay here.
Li Rongsen naturally followed Yan Qingqiu and said, "We are here on an important matter. Please inform them as soon as possible. We will be leaving today."
The housekeeper just smiled and said, "It's not that I don't allow you to see each other, but I want you to see each other one by one."
"Why?" Yan Qingqiu asked.
"This is the rule here," said the butler.
"In that case, I'll go with you to meet him first." Yan Qingqiu said as he walked out of the house and signaled the housekeeper to lead the way.
The butler nodded and led Yan Qingqiu out. When they were about to walk out of the yard.
Suddenly, he heard a few "bangs," which made Yan Qingqiu react. He immediately went back to the courtyard and found that the pavilion he had been staying in had been sealed. He turned around and found that the housekeeper was gone. He secretly laughed at himself and thought he had been tricked. He shouted into the pavilion: "Li Rongsen, Li Rongsen, can you hear me?"
Li Rongsen naturally couldn't hear anything. He was sealed in the pavilion and had no idea what was happening in the outside world. Moreover, he was facing a new problem at the moment.
A woman in a blue cape was walking towards him, smiling at him and saying, "Li Rongsen, we finally meet again. It turns out that you and I are destined to be together."
"Who are you?" Li Rongsen asked her.
"You don't remember me?" Lan Yu chuckled. She didn't know that Li Rongsen had no memory of any woman, so she thought he was asking on purpose, but she still spoke in a gentle tone.
"What do you mean?"
"Look at me like this, what do I mean?" Lan Yu said as he took off his cloak, leaving only a piece of clothing underneath, and walked towards Li Rongsen again.
Li Rongsen immediately turned sideways and said, "Don't come over here, or I won't be polite."
"Don't struggle anymore. We can't get out of the boundary here. You and I will stay here together for the rest of our lives." Lan Yu had finally waited for Li Rongsen to come to her house. She was not willing to let him go. Besides, she had made up her mind to keep him.
Li Rongsen mobilized his energy and found that the boundary was indeed difficult to break. The harder he tried, the tighter he felt. He thought that forcing it was useless. He stared at Lan Yu and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"Let's become husband and wife first, and then I'll open this boundary and invite everyone to come and bless us. What do you think?" Lan Yu said as she leaned towards Li Rongsen again, as if she had no strength left.
Li Rongsen disliked her and always avoided her.
Lan Yu didn't get angry. She sat down at the table, picked up another glass of wine, and said, "Come, let me toast you first."
"There's no reason. I won't drink." Li Rongsen said indifferently.
Lan Yu knew that Li Rongsen was a difficult man to deal with, and she also knew that he had no interest in her, so she used what he wanted to trick him, saying, "If you drink this glass of wine, I will let you go. How about that?"
"Do you keep your word?" Li Rongsen asked her.
"Of course I keep my word. I'm not that kind of pretentious little woman." Lan Yu said proudly as she picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Li Rongsen.
But Li Rongsen picked up the cup on the table and said, "I'll drink it now, and then I'll open the door."
"I promise you." Lan Yu smiled lightly, thinking that this was the most bewitching wine in the world. No one could resist it after drinking it. No matter how powerful his martial arts skills were, he would still be bewitched.
Li Rongsen drank the wine in one gulp and then put the glass on the table.
Lan Yu was not in a hurry. She stared at Li Rongsen closely, calculating that the drug would take effect soon, and by then he would have no control over it.
At this moment, I felt the house moving.
That was Yan Qingqiu practicing his internal energy. He knew that Li Rongsen was trapped inside and that someone must be plotting against him. He used all his strength to open a little of the boundary barrier and said, "Li Rongsen, be careful. Don't get caught!"
When Li Rongsen heard Yan Qingqiu's voice, he knew that the boundary had been opened, so he wanted to mobilize energy in one go to break the entire boundary. Unexpectedly, Lan Yu closed the boundary again, shocking Yan Qingqiu outside three meters away and falling to the ground again.
"You are such a shameless woman." Li Rongsen frowned. He knew what he had just drunk, but he was immune to all poisons, so he would not be seriously harmed by it.
But Lan Yu took out another magic weapon and threw it at Li Rongsen. Fortunately, he dodged quickly. It turned out to be a silver spider.
The spider was spitting silk towards Li Rongsen, strangling one of his wrists. The pain immediately made sweat break out on his forehead, but he tried his best to tear the silk apart. However, the silk directly embedded itself into his body, making it feel like his body was tied up by a whole spider web, and he could not move.
Lan Yu chuckled. She walked over to Li Rongsen, who was standing motionless, and said, "If this thing gets stuck even a little bit, it'll be gone. It'll become like a marionette. You have to move wherever I say."
Li Rongsen also has a tough personality. He doesn't believe that he will be bound by a spider or a woman, so he begins to operate energy conflict restrictions.
