Chapter 243 It’s time for us to have a child
“Tick-tick—”
There was a trace of hot and sticky blood, which flowed down the man's face, to his chin, and then dripped onto the ground.
The blade of the sword in his hand was stained with blood, which dripped from the tip of the sword into the ground.
Pei Jingxu had never seen him kill anyone with his own hands.
Like an emotionless god of death, he raised his sword and slashed with every move, each fatal.
The gods and Buddhas are stained with blood.
Pei Jingxu had sprained his ankle while escaping just now, and now he fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, staring at the person who came in blankly and fearfully.
The crescent moon hung high above his head, its moonlight dappled and his robe, stained even darker by the blood, was stained with mottled moonlight.
He looked down at her, his eyes cold and clear, and against the moonlight, he couldn't make out any expression.
She still wore the Buddhist beads he gave her on her wrist.
He took off the Buddhist beads, and thus killed the gods and Buddhas, but did not save the people.
“Tick-tick—”
The blood on the man's face seemed to be endless.
The long sword was put back into the scabbard, Rong Jianxue raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked down at the woman on the ground condescendingly.
He reached out and wiped the bloodstains on his face.
But the blood was sticky, and his wiping only blurred the stain, making it even more glaring.
Behind the man, Jiang Hui, accompanied by countless private soldiers, dismounted and reported in a deep voice, "Sir, they've all been killed."
Rong Jianxue's gaze was still on her, and his voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been honed by sand and stones.
“Where’s Shen Huaichen?”
Jiang Hui half-knelt respectfully behind the man and said, "My lord, the Third Prince has been captured by Pei Huaifeng and is currently awaiting his fate in Luzhou City."
No more words.
Jiang Hui understood and quietly retreated.
Outside the city gate, private soldiers lined up on both sides, and his soldiers were everywhere on the city walls, surrounding the entire Luzhou city inside and out.
The huge team appeared outside Luzhou City silently.
"If I had known you were planning to escape, I should have agreed to your request."
The man looked at her and said this. Pei Jingxu could not tell his emotions and tone.
I just felt a layer of cold sweat on my back.
The priceless cloud shoes were not stained with blood as they approached her step by step.
Pei Jingxu had already twisted his ankle. He looked up at the tall man in front of him and just took a few steps back when he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.
She didn't quite understand what he meant.
What request?
What did you agree to or not?
The bright moon was like a hook, like a sharp sword hanging high above his head, as if it wanted to judge someone.
Inexplicably, she heard the man chuckle for no reason.
Approaching step by step.
Pei Jingxu had no way to retreat until the man's shoes touched her toes.
"A Xu is right," the man chuckled, his voice cold and nonchalant, "It's time for us to have a child."
--
In Pei Jingxu's house.
Outside the bedroom, candles were brightly lit.
The moonlight was bright and cold. Jiang Hui stood outside the bedroom, listening to the noise coming from inside. In the end, he didn't continue to guard it and left with his head down.
In a short period of time, so many private soldiers gathered outside Luzhou City, and Jiang Hui had to make some arrangements.
——He is still not here... Sorry to bother you, sir.
In the bedroom, Pei Jingxu had already cried until she had no strength left.
The man's back was covered with marks from her scratches, beautiful and mottled.
He left no room for maneuver.
He no longer obeyed her cries.
Until all.
Rong Jianxue raised his chin slightly, still looking down at her. Apart from the dark emotions in his eyes, there was no sign of emotion at all.
Her slender waist seemed to be broken by him.
Pei Jingxu was in a trance and could only vaguely see the crescent moonlight outside the window.
"We're going to have kids..."
"A Xu, I will let you have a child."
…
Pei Jingxu couldn't remember how many times he called for water.
All she knew was that before she fell asleep, it was already bright outside, and the dim morning light shone on her body covered with red marks.
——There is no good flesh on the body.
When I woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day.
Pei Jingxu couldn't get out of bed and subconsciously called out Hongyao.
"Madam, Miss Hongyao was injured and is now resting in the side room."
The voice coming from outside the door was Jiang Hui.
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly and moved his body.
Her whole body felt like it was falling apart, and she was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to speak.
There were clean clothes beside the bed, and steaming food and warm tea at hand.
Pei Jingxu reached out to take the tea, drank two sips to moisten his throat, and then he regained some strength.
"Is Hongyao's injury serious?" Pei Jingxu asked the question that concerned him most.
"Don't worry, Madam. It's just some superficial injuries. Miss Hongyao is still recuperating. You should eat something too."
Jiang Hui said this, but had no intention of coming in.
Pei Jingxu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she moved her eyeballs: "I have no strength left. Find two maids to change my clothes."
"I'm sorry, Madam..." Jiang Hui's voice sounded a little awkward at this point, "The Master said that no one except him can come close to serve you."
Pei Jingxu: “…”
"But I want to take a shower and change clothes now. I don't have any servants..."
Can't get out of bed.
Pei Jingxu really couldn't say the following words.
Jiang Hui's tone was also very embarrassed, but he said: "Madam, why don't you take a rest for a while? The young master will be back soon."
What she meant was that she wanted Rong Jianxue to come back and "serve" her.
Pei Jingxu frowned, knowing that no matter what she said, Jiang Hui would not open the door or let her leave.
After a moment of silence, Pei Jingxu propped herself up and looked around, only to realize that this was her bedroom.
When did that bastard Rong Jianxue know that she lived here?
Too many things happened last night, and countless thoughts flooded into his mind. Pei Jingxu shook his head and began to organize his thoughts.
The streets were deserted last night and the curfew was still in effect. Rong Jianxue must have planned this in advance for him to gather so many private soldiers in a short period of time.
So, was Rong Jianxue also expecting the assassination tonight?
If the assassin was part of Rong Jianxue's plan, then Pei Huaifeng...
"Guard Jiang," Pei Jingxu said impatiently, "Where is Xiaofeng now?"
"Xiao Feng?" Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Madam, you are talking about Pei Huaifeng, right? Don't worry, Madam, Master Pei is discussing government affairs with you. I think the atmosphere should be very harmonious."
Pei Jingxu immediately grasped the key point: "Pei Huaifeng discussed political affairs with Rong Jianxue? Rong Jianxue has known about Pei Huaifeng's existence for a long time?"
"This... is a long story," Jiang Hui thought for a moment and then spoke succinctly, "Earlier, the young master's intelligence received news that your brother might still be alive, and they have been sending people to search for him privately."
"But you never expected that Master Pei would come to the capital and meet Madam even though he was wanted. But Madam, don't worry, I know what you are thinking. Master Pei has never betrayed you. It was you who set up a plot with him and needed his help."
Pei Jingxu's pupils trembled, the stone in his heart fell, and he relaxed completely.
"Madam, please rest for a while. The young master will be back in half an hour at most."
