Chapter 463 Ten Thousand Times
While Yun Chen sat by the couch for a long time, a torture that she was unaware of was taking place in Qiyunju of the Huo Mansion.
Since being escorted back to the Huo Mansion, the three layers of guards inside and outside have turned this magnificent mansion into an airtight cage.
Almost all the guards and servants of the Huo Gang were dismissed, leaving only the chief guard Lu Liang to count and hand over the financial power of the Huo Gang.
Among the servants, Runhe refused to leave and volunteered to stay.
Then there is a cook and a handyman.
In just a few days, the untended garden was overgrown with weeds, and the originally plump and cheerful koi in the pond soon turned their bellies upside down and floated on the water.
The Huo Mansion, which was once bustling with activity, is now deserted and as quiet as a haunted house.
On the courtyard wall of Qiyunju, the cold snow vines grew wildly at an alarming rate, covering the entire wall and windows.
In the dark dormitory where almost no light could penetrate, a thin figure sat quietly all day long.
Huo Gannian's hands and feet were still shackled with heavy shackles, which had already rubbed his wrists and ankles until they were red, swollen, ulcerated, scabby, and rotten...
The knee that was pierced by the flying blade was wrapped in a thick herbal cloth, and it was bleeding as if it would never stop.
Yun Chen and Huo Gannian were originally escorted out of the palace in shackles. Nan Lijun gave the keys to their shackles to Yan Shijiu and Zhiluo respectively, giving them control over them.
Obviously, Zhiluo had no intention of removing this heavy burden from Huo Gannian.
If that were all, it would be fine.
Huo Gannian still looked very weak, without even the strength to raise his hand to grab a cup of tea. This was because he had to be fed muscle softening powder every day to prevent him from using force.
The whole house is filled with an atmosphere of decay, decadence and dilapidation every day.
Tonight, there is an extra strange sweet taste in it.
At this moment, Huo Gannian's face was pale, and he clenched his teeth tightly, trying hard to suppress the lust that was about to burst out.
Almost no one can resist the medicinal properties of the enchanting smile. Huo Gannian already had extraordinary willpower, but he still felt hot and uneasy all over, becoming more and more out of control. Looking at the beautiful woman beside the couch, his eyes unconsciously wandered downwards and he couldn't help swallowing.
"Don't struggle. I am your wife, in name only, and after tonight, in reality."
Zhi Luo slowly put away the medicine bottle and played with it in her hand. A vicious smile appeared on her beautiful face:
"Tonight, they are having their wedding night, so let's have our wedding night too!"
Huo Gannian didn't say anything, but just stared at Zhiluo. Beneath his surging passion, there was anger and murderous intent.
Zhi Luo didn't care about his emotions at all. Yan Shijiu gave her a charming smile, and she did as he said, even though she felt disgusted.
However, whenever she thought about the fact that the "young general" who had once made her heart beat fast and she loved him so much was now like her, allowing himself to be ravaged by a man he did not love, she felt particularly happy.
I wonder if Yunchen would be shocked and collapse when he heard the news that Huo Gannian had consummated his marriage with her?
Thinking of this, Zhiluo suddenly became impatient and deliberately walked very close to Huo Gannian, so close that he could clearly smell the fragrance of her makeup.
She slowly took off her clothes one by one and moved closer to him.
Huo Gannian tried desperately to dodge, but every drop of blood in his body was boiling, eager to be released, and he unconsciously moved forward to meet it.
His breathing became heavy and hot sweat kept flowing down his forehead.
He stared at the slender, white belly right in front of him, trying to look away and calm his mind, but Zhi Luo raised her boneless arms and wrapped them tightly around his neck like a water snake.
"Huo Gannian, there should be no one in this world who hates you more than me, right?" Zhi Luo slowly leaned over, put his lips close to his, and smiled wantonly and sinisterly:
"After tonight, hatred will turn into love. Let Yun Chen experience the feeling of being betrayed. She will like it."
After saying that, Zhiluo took the initiative to kiss Huo Gannian, but he tried his best to avoid her.
As he brushed past those tempting lips, Huo Gannian felt his blood rushing up like crazy.
He pushed Zhi Luo away with all his strength, dragged his injured leg, and retreated with difficulty, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth:
"Get out...you lunatic!"
"Madman? Hahahaha——" Zhi Luo laughed loudly, "You are the first one who calls me 'madman' to my face. How refreshing!"
Others, including the palace maids and eunuchs, only dared to call her that behind her back.
When talking about her name, we have to use "that person" instead.
Why?
Maybe it was because after she chopped Fan Jian into meat paste with a shovel, she became addicted to the feeling of killing.
She took over the Zoo and worked as a female official, trying to please Nan Lijun. At the same time, she treated the palace as a hunting ground, searching for her favorite "prey" every day.
First they tortured the victim, then dismembered him, and finally the body parts were thrown into the garden to feed the wild animals.
Sometimes when he was in the mood, he would directly push a young palace maid into the tiger and leopard garden and watch with relish as the animals divided the beauty up for food.
Only in this way could she endure the days of being oppressed, driven, beaten... and treated as a slave without any dignity by Yan Shijiu and Wan Chen.
She can only feel happy when others are suffering.
She would feel extremely excited if she could make Yun Chen collapse in despair.
Thinking of this, Zhiluo rushed directly to Huo Gannian and tried to kiss him.
Huo Gannian was unable to dodge and could only block with his arms. He gritted his teeth so hard that the veins on his neck bulged and his eyes began to bloodshot.
Unfortunately, the effect of the muscle softening powder made him weak and powerless, and the enchanting smile almost made his will collapse.
Looking at the dark night outside the window, he knew that in this long night, it was only a matter of time before he was forced to surrender. He had to find a way to control his body and keep himself awake!
Thinking of this, he no longer resisted and let Zhiluo's soft body cover him.
Feeling Huo Gannian's body shake and let out a painful groan, Zhi Luo felt happy about it. When he wanted to use his full strength, he suddenly felt his body become slippery and wet, and a strong smell of blood entered his nose.
She stopped, looked over strangely, and her eyes widened instantly——
Huo Gannian did not move, but his fingers reached under the blood-stained herbal cloth on his knee, dug deep into the wound, and stabbed the bloody hole pierced by the flying blade again, causing blood to flow.
Blood gushed out from his knees and flowed everywhere.
His face turned pale with pain, his whole body was shaking, and his clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.
His face was so pale, but his pair of eyes, which were completely awake, were filled with cold and arrogant light.
His body was convulsing slightly in pain, and his speech was intermittent, but his tone was unusually cheerful and full of laughter:
"I don't have the energy to fight or kill anymore, but as long as this wound is there, I can... do this... ten thousand times... Give me as many enchanting smiles as you can."
Huo Gannian, who regained control of his body, made Zhiluo feel oppressed for a moment.
His calm and composed demeanor, as if he had the world under his control, made Zhi Luo feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.
She couldn't help but step back and accidentally fell off the bed. She picked up her dress and put it on casually, her face looking extremely ugly.
"You're much crazier than me, Huo Gannian!"
After saying this, Zhi Luo slammed the door and left with a dark face.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Rong Yi and Luo Dongdong, wearing night clothes, sneaked into Yan's house and left. They stood on the empty street, feeling a little confused.
The Shogun's residence in Kyoto, which was granted to them by the emperor, had long been confiscated, and all their property had been confiscated.
The two men were tired from the journey and did not want to return to the camp in Fengdu Mountain so soon. However, since they had no place to stay and did not have two taels of silver on them, where should they go?
Fortunately, Rong Yi has many old lovers who are devoted to him. Even though Rong Yi has been dismissed from his post and has no money left, those lovers still love him.
"Have you thought about it yet? Whose house are you going to? Red mulberry? Forsythia? Narcissus? You really are a flower grower!" Luo Dongdong complained, rubbing his flat stomach, "I'm hungry, sleepy and tired, you should think quickly!"
Rong Yi rolled his eyes and thought for a long time:
"Let's go to Zisu's house. She has her own house and yard. It's quiet and few people come here. She won't cause any trouble."
With a destination in mind, the two of them set off without stopping.
Rong Yi skillfully jumped over the wall and into the yard.
Luo Dongdong had one arm that was inconvenient to use, and he was tired after riding a horse for two days. He was still waiting for Rong Yi to open the door for him, but he heard Rong Yi walk directly into the house. With a delicate and dazed "Aiya" sound, the door was closed with a "click".
Luo Dongdong was stunned for a moment, then cursed angrily:
"You bastard! A dog that forgets his friends when he sees a woman!"
He couldn't help but kick the gate. The door didn't open, but a bulging purse was thrown out from inside.
Rong Yi lowered his voice and shouted from inside: "Go find a place to eat and drink first, and come back in an hour - no, two hours!"
Knowing that Rong Yi would be busy with something for a while, Luo Dongdong cursed, picked up his purse, and went to find a tavern leisurely.
I just looked everywhere for a long time, but because of the new laws on women, there are almost no girls at the night market. There are only men drinking, bragging, fighting, and it's noisy and boring.
Luo Dongdong specifically picked a street-side wine shop with few people, ordered three pounds of beef, a plate of fried peanuts, and a plate of pickled mustard greens, and ate them all in no time.
My stomach felt at ease, and I felt at ease too. I then drank another two kilograms of white wine, and immediately I felt relaxed from head to toe, reaching the most wonderful state of drinking.
I was drunk but not falling down. I felt comfortable and light-headed, without any discomfort at all.
Luo Dongdong wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looked at the pedestrians walking on the street with their hands waving, then looked at his empty sleeve and sighed softly.
Ever since losing his arm, Luo Dongdong has been stuck in an extremely difficult but indescribable life.
Logically, all soldiers who were injured or disabled should receive pensions and go home because they can no longer fight as before.
Luo Dongdong was able to stay thanks to Yun Chen's protection.
In order not to disappoint Yun Chen and not want others to look down on him, Luo Dongdong gritted his teeth and completed the same training tasks as others, and never asked for help with his daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
No one in the army had ever looked down on him. Even Rong Yi, the leader, tried to find ways to make fun of his broken arm every day and treated him like an ordinary person, just to make him feel better.
But Luo Dongdong is not stupid. Although people around him are sharp-tongued when joking, when something really happens or when he goes to the battlefield, they all take care of him tacitly.
Luo Dongdong felt both grateful and guilty, and then slowly began to feel inferior, thinking that he was a burden to the Huwei Army and a drag on Yun Chen.
He thought about resigning, but he couldn't say it out loud. He was reluctant to give up his military status, leave the barracks where he had been for more than ten years, and leave such a good general like Yun Chen.
He wanted to continue to persevere, but he would have to endure the help and kindness of others for the rest of his life, which he could never repay.
Luo Dongdong never told anyone about these tangled and painful emotions.
He drank one glass after another and sighed one after another.
At this time, a carriage came from afar and stopped in front of him.
"Captain Luo?"
The name from an old friend and the familiar female voice made Luo Dongdong look up.
In the gorgeous carriage, a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing half of a beautiful face that seemed to be smiling and charming.
Zhi Luo's red lips opened and closed, as if by magic, attracting Luo Dongdong to come forward unconsciously. A strange sweet smell penetrated his nose, arousing the heat in his body and mind.
All he heard with his last bit of consciousness was Zhi Luo's soft and charming voice:
"Captain Luo, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. Where are you going? Let me take you there."
Afterwards, the carriage stayed in a deep alley at the corner of the street for a whole night. The body of the carriage creaked and shook constantly, and the double golden bronze bells in front of the carriage swayed back and forth, making a crisp reverberation.
The beauty's sweet sweat turned into red mist and dissipated in the winter night with the first snow.
