Chapter 679: One after another (IV)
Bang!
Just when Princess Beijing was at a loss, the black-sailed boat had already drifted sideways against the shore.
Although this slow approach only made a slight sound, to Wei Ying it sounded like thunder in dry land; and the small black-sailed boat seemed to be overwhelming in her eyes!
Feeling terrified, Wei Ying involuntarily took two steps back, then turned around, pushed open the back door of the Dragon King Temple, and prepared to escape back into the temple.
Just at this moment, the sound of splashing water was heard on the lake again. Wei Ying subconsciously looked back, only to see Sun Shaozong holding a pole and paddling away without hesitation!
This action was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Wei Ying's head, and immediately reminded her of the purpose of this trip.
If we really let Sun Shaozong leave like this, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?
So she froze in her tracks, slowly turned around, looked at the boat slowly sailing away, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and went down the stairs.
As the tall figure gradually moved lower, Wei Ying's heart seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss.
However, what made her even more ashamed and angry was that although Sun Shaozong clearly saw her coming towards him, he had no intention of returning to the shore. Instead, he continued to paddle the boat and slowly sailed away.
Even though Wei Ying was not very smart, she could already see that the other party was playing hard to get.
But what if you can see it?
This is destined to be an unequal 'deal'!
The thief surnamed Sun already had several beautiful concubines at home, and recently he had taken Xia Jingui's concubine. Even if he wanted to get involved in her, he might not be in a hurry.
But he wanted to rescue Wei Ruolan from danger, and he couldn't afford to waste even a moment.
So this evil villain is totally fearless!
Seeing that the boat had sailed more than two meters away and slowly turned its angle, it seemed that it might sail away at any time. Wei Ying could only throw away the shame and anger in her heart and call out, "Sun... Lord Sun, please stay."
Sun Shaozong then stopped rowing the boat and pretended to be surprised, "Just now I saw the queen turn around and leave , and I thought that Xia Jingui was lying again. Now the queen has called me back. Are you really going to apologize to me in person?"
He didn't say "personally", but used the awkward word "in person", which obviously means something else.
Needless to say, it must have been that little bitch Xia Jingui who revealed her intentions in advance!
Wei Ying clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into the tender flesh of her palms, and she managed not to turn around and leave, but her words were inevitably filled with annoyance: "It was certainly wrong for me to set up the trap yesterday, but you, as an official appointed by the court, wanted to harm me out of your own selfish desires..."
However, before she could finish, Sun Shaozong pushed the pole into the water, and the black-sailed boat immediately moved sideways about ten feet away.
Seeing that they were nearly ten meters away, Wei Ying was getting more and more ashamed and angry on the shore, but she could only suppress her anger and said with gritted teeth: "Come back! If you have any request, I will accept it!"
It's true that this long-legged girl is used to a life of luxury and doesn't know how to negotiate with others - when it comes to "dealing", how can she promise to agree to all the other party's requests from the beginning?
However, when Sun Shaozong heard her words, his whole body was trembling, and he did not dare to force her too much, otherwise if she really turned around and ran away, wouldn't his plan of "revenge" come to nothing?
So he changed the direction of the pole, and with a slight push, the sail boat tilted towards the shore.
At the same time, he said seriously: "I just listened to what Earl Yongyi said, and I should treat both sides equally. How about this, if the queen has any inside information to tell me, you can go on board and talk."
This damn villain!
Even at this critical moment, he is still talking so high-sounding words!
Princess Beijing was waiting for that hypocritical square face, wishing she could punch it and make ten thousand peach blossoms bloom!
Unfortunately, due to the situation, she could only think about it.
On the contrary, under Sun Shaozong's unhurried gaze, Wei Ying had no choice but to stretch out her long legs and jump from the shore to the stern of the boat - although there was still some space at the bow, how could Wei Ying be willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
But she has always preferred riding horses and seldom took a boat, especially one with pointed willow-leaf sails at the ends .
The jump was so powerful that the stern of the boat moved sideways several meters. Wei Ying lost her balance and swayed a few times before falling backwards.
Just as she was about to fall into the water, something suddenly supported her waist and slowly straightened her body.
When Princess Beijing calmed down a little, she realized that it was Sun Shaozong who rescued her in time. The gratitude in her heart immediately turned into disgust.
Reaching out to push the pole away, she gritted her teeth and asked, "I wonder what Sir Sun wants me to do in order to let Lan Ge'er go?!"
This long-legged girl really doesn't understand the ways of the world.
Even if he was sacrificing himself, he should have insisted that he was doing it to redress the grievances of his brother. How could he directly point out that he was engaging in insider trading?
And from what she said, it seemed that she wanted to make one last effort and change to other conditions.
But apart from her body bearing the title of princess, what other bargaining chips does she have to bargain with me?
Sun Shaozong smiled slightly, took back the pole , pointed at the cabin and said, "It seems that the princess doesn't often take a boat. I think it's better for her to go into the cabin. Firstly, she will not fall into the water, and secondly, she will not be seen by others."
The first one was fine, but the second one was something Wei Ying absolutely didn't want to happen.
However……
If I really get into this small cabin, how can I escape from the clutches of this evil thief?
Thinking of this, she stared at the cabin covered by the black cloth curtain, her face full of fear. How could she take a step forward?
Seeing her like this, Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "Well, since the queen doesn't want to go in, then stand still."
As he spoke, he tapped the bluestone slab lightly, and the boat moved sideways another few feet.
Princess Beijing was now at a loss again.
Sun Shaozong was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, so others might not be able to see through his identity. However, his hunting suit was very conspicuous. Wouldn't he be recognized immediately by any maid or old woman?
So she didn't bother to care about anything else, and hurriedly held onto the roof and bent down to get into the cabin.
Done!
Now even if the princess has fallen into a trap, it will be of no use no matter how much she regrets it.
However, Sun Shaozong did not rush in to "talk" with her, but instead pushed the oar and sailed straight to the center of the lake.
After walking straight for more than two miles, there was no embankment in sight in any direction. He then thrust the pole firmly into the water to secure it, and then tied the reins to it.
After doing all this, Sun Shaozong calmly lifted the door curtain and looked into the cabin.
Unexpectedly, when he leaned over to take a look, the first thing that caught his eye was a shining dagger!
