Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 11: Revenge is a virtue
Ping Lili was happily holding the small sachet, feeling overwhelmed with joy, and had no idea that she was a bandit. Looking at the woman on the ground who was knocked unconscious by Yan Zheng's knife, she felt a sense of relief that she had never felt before. It was no wonder that Ping Lili had no sympathy, it was because of the previous grudge she had with them.
Before, her master had deceived Ping Lili badly. As the saying goes, he who does not seek revenge is not a gentleman. Although Ping Lili is not a gentleman, she is definitely a vengeful person.
Yan Zheng was paying careful attention to the yard behind him at this time. Perhaps it was because his action this time was very clean and neat, and did not make much noise, so there was no unusual movement in the yard. However, he did not dare to take it lightly. The strange atmosphere emanating from the yard made him involuntarily more alert.
Suddenly, he felt something light behind him. He turned around subconsciously and saw that Pinglili had jumped off his back on her own initiative. She held the belt of the brocade bag with her left hand and reached into the bag with her right hand. She felt around and looked a little surprised. She muttered to herself, "I saw her take out so many things from it before. How come it's empty now?"
She turned her hands over and over in the brocade bag as if searching for something, but found nothing. Finally, she gave up unwillingly and hung the brocade bag around her neck. Yan Zheng was a little surprised, thinking, isn't this just an ordinary brocade bag? What's so special about it? Is it worth going to such great lengths to grab it? He thought so in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Soon, Ying Lili gave up the idea of looking for something in the brocade bag. She frowned slightly, squatted in front of the woman who fainted on the ground, and pondered. Then her eyes turned, and a hint of narrow-mindedness flashed in her eyes. The next moment, she raised her head and showed a sly smile to Yan Zheng who was standing beside her. That smile made Yan Zheng shiver subconsciously, as if he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the words that came out of Ping Lili's mouth next made his spine go cold. Ping Lili's eyes narrowed into a curve at this time, as if to hide her ill intentions. She ordered Yan Zheng in a sweet and somewhat cloying voice: "Drag her to the bushes over there and strip her clothes off."
Yan Zheng was stunned on the spot, his thick eyebrows frowned and his eyes widened, as if he thought he had heard it wrong.
"Strip off her clothes and give them to me. I'll pretend to be a maid, and you go grab a soldier's armor to wear. Then we can go out openly, right? It's much better than sneaking around like this, right?" Seeing the other party's embarrassment and doubt, Ping Lili kindly explained for him. Then, while explaining, she pointed to a dense bush in the distance and ran straight towards that direction.
Yan Zheng was a decisive man. Upon hearing this, he picked up the woman without saying a word, and then rushed into the bushes with Peng Lili and put the woman down.
With the cold moonlight around the bushes, he carefully observed his surroundings, then stood a few steps away from Yinglili with his hands behind his back, like a door god.
Seeing the other party being such an open and gentlemanly person, Ping Lili felt a little amused and thought that this man was indeed a gentleman, but unfortunately he was too straightforward and lacked some crooked thoughts. He was afraid that what he was going to do next would embarrass him.
"Take off her clothes." Gong Lili felt that when she said this, she was definitely suspected of wanting to cause trouble in the world, or even having the bad intention of watching the fun and making fun of herself. But then again, it was really not her fault. She was also quite helpless. Her left shoulder, which had been stabbed by the steel spear before, now felt waves of burning pain. Let alone such delicate work as taking off someone's clothes, even if she wanted to lift it with force, it would be a bit difficult.
Yinglili was 100% sure that the look in her eyes when she heard what she said must have been one of surprise and embarrassment. However, Yinglili didn't care about that anymore and started to talk like a string of cannonballs: "I told you to take off her clothes. Her skirt is too complicated and layered. I don't know where to start. Besides, my left shoulder was injured before, so I can't use force. I only have my right hand. If I damage the gauze with my rough hands and feet, all my efforts will be wasted."
"How is your left shoulder injury?" Yan Zheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, as if he remembered something. He stepped forward and wanted to check the injury for Ping Lili, but Ping Lili subconsciously dodged him.
"I'm fine, just do as I say." Ping Lili turned back to the embarrassing topic.
"But, but, this, this is different between men and women..." It's rare that this man who had previously overcome all obstacles and was fearless, actually stuttered when he realized that he could not refuse the other party's request. Ping Lili had to barely suppress the urge to burst out laughing.
"Why do you care so much about her? In one word, take it off or not!" Ping Lili raised her eyebrows and deliberately put on an impatient expression to urge her. In fact, she had already laughed her ass off in her heart. She didn't expect that teasing an honest man like Yan Zheng would be such a funny thing.
Yan Zheng sighed helplessly, with an indescribable embarrassment on his face, and walked over reluctantly and began to strip the woman's clothes. That tragic expression really made Yan Lili feel like he was forcing a good woman into prostitution.
I thought to myself, Pinglili ah, Pinglili, it turns out you are a bad person at heart.
Soon, Yan Zheng had stripped almost all of the woman's clothes off and thrown them aside, leaving only her innermost garment. Yan Zheng paused, then raised his head with a red face and looked at Ping Lili with pleading eyes. Although Ping Lili was about to laugh her head off, she couldn't bear to tease him anymore. She nodded sympathetically, "Okay, forget about the innermost garment. You go and guard over there."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly jumped several steps away, as if he was afraid that Ying Lili would change her mind again, so he quickly turned his head away.
Ying Lili looked at the pile of gauze skirts worn as outerwear on the ground. The palace attire of the Ruoye women looked almost the same as the Tang Dynasty costumes that Ying Lili had seen in her previous life. They wore a gauze open-collared yellow short-sleeved shirt, a green floor-length skirt, and a red ribbon tied around their waists.
She looked at the open-necked shirt thrown aside and wondered why not just put it on. But when she lowered her head and looked at the loose T-shirt on her body, she felt it was extremely weird. The neckline of this gauze shirt was really open enough, and it almost seemed like her breasts were half exposed. If she wore her small round-necked pullover T-shirt inside, she could tell how weird it would be just by thinking with her toes.
With a determined heart, she decided to go all out. Ping Lili started to strip off the woman's underwear, intending to change them all. But as soon as she opened the woman's underwear, she was stunned. She didn't know that she had inadvertently touched upon a shocking secret.
"Yan Zheng! Come here quickly!" After being stunned for a few seconds, Ping Lili hurried to call Yan Zheng.
Yan Zheng's body stiffened slightly as he turned his back to Ying Lili. He seemed to think that Ying Lili had changed her mind again. He was struggling in his heart when he heard Ying Lili's more urgent voice: "What are you standing there for? Come here!"
He didn't dare to think too much and turned his head away helplessly, but his eyes were fixed when they touched the half-naked breasts of the unconscious woman.
In fact, Yan Zheng did not have any distracting or evil thoughts in his mind that a man in the world should have at this moment. He was simply attracted by the vague map totem on the left breast of the woman. He did not expect to see this totem in Yonghui City, which had been occupied by the Ruoye tribe for five hundred years. This totem did not originally belong to the Ruoye tribe.
When Ping Lili saw the serious expression on Yan Zheng's face, her previous guess was confirmed. She just felt that the pattern was a little strange and familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't quite remember where she had seen it. Subconsciously, she felt that this thing was quite strange and might be unusual, so she called Yan Zheng over to see what it was. She thought that Yan Zheng must be knowledgeable and might be able to see some clues.
Seeing Yan Zheng pursing his lips and frowning at this moment, she was very curious. She didn't know what Yan Zheng had seen. It was obvious that the other party was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. She didn't want to disrupt his thoughts, so she had to stare at the pattern and study it carefully.
The so-called earth totem was actually some kind of ancient beast, shaped like an ordinary crow, but with three heads and six tails. It looked like a playful expression, eerie and strange. Under the moonlight, it was faintly glowing with a deep blue light .
