Chapter 25 Dealing with
At this moment, Jiang Qingyue had already fallen into the hands of the bandits, her hands were bound and her ears were tied, and she was being led towards the mountain stronghold.
Seeing Jiang Luoyu's ruthless abandonment of Jiang Qingyue, the bandit couldn't help but click his tongue a few times, "How pitiful, he actually abandoned you."
Jiang Qingyue turned her head away and ignored her.
Zhuo Daoba wasn't annoyed. "This man has no sense of responsibility. If he's someone you like, you should dump him as soon as possible. Follow me, and I'll never abandon you in a dangerous situation."
As he spoke, Zhuo Daoba couldn't help but reach out to touch Jiang Qingyue's face, but Jiang Qingyue turned her head away.
"Heh, you've got guts. Once we get back to the mountain stronghold, I'll have plenty of ways to make you submit, hahahaha~"
Jiang Qingyue chose to ignore what she was hearing, and as she walked, she secretly observed her surroundings.
This is the wilderness, with only endless grass and a few scattered trees. The grass is not tall enough to completely cover a person, making it extremely difficult to escape.
Moreover, if he angered the other party, he would likely be in even greater danger. Therefore, running away was only a last resort, so the only option left was...
Jiang Qingyue caught a glimpse of red out of the corner of her eye and immediately made up her mind.
"Ouch~" Jiang Qingyue suddenly squatted down, looking uncomfortable.
"What tricks are you playing? Let me tell you, it's useless. If you can't walk, I'll carry you back." Zhuo Daoba thought Jiang Qingyue was trying to use this opportunity to escape.
"No, I... I have a stomachache... I can't take it anymore..." Jiang Qingyue pretended to have a stomachache, and even had a light sweat on her forehead. In Zhuo Daoba's eyes, it didn't seem fake.
"Stop pretending to be sick, just bear with it." Zhuo Daoba didn't believe in that trick.
Jiang Qingyue looked at him with teary eyes, her gaze pleading, "Hero, I beg you, I really can't hold it in any longer!"
"Hmph, you're putting on such a convincing act, but who knows if you're really telling the truth?"
One of the henchmen next to him wasn't fooled by this trick. They'd done too many kidnappings before, and many people had tried to use this method to escape, but the result was... well, you can imagine.
"I'm not lying, and I wasn't trying to play any tricks. I really can't hold it in any longer. There are so many of you. I'm just a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. This is the middle of nowhere. Where can I run to? How can I possibly outrun so many of you?"
In fact, Jiang Qingyue was telling the truth; she really wasn't entirely confident she could escape.
As expected, Jiang Qingyue's words silenced the bandits; they did indeed make sense.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Jiang Qingyue continued, "How about this, I'll keep my hand up the whole time, making sure you can see me, so you'll know whether I've run away or not, okay?"
After all, her goal was not to escape.
The bandits looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to their leader, Zhuo Daoba.
Zhuo Daoba pondered for a moment, looking at Jiang Qingyue's appearance, which seemed genuinely genuine. After much hesitation, he finally nodded, "Alright, I hope what you're saying is true, otherwise, I certainly won't let you off! Men, untie her."
"Thank you." After saying that, Jiang Qingyue immediately clutched her stomach and ran towards the red dot.
"Boss, are we really going to let her go like this?" One of the underlings was still uneasy. He had a feeling that the woman was very slippery. After all, he had just fought with her. She seemed to know no martial arts, but she dodged every move very nimbly.
He wanted to speak, but he was afraid that his boss would accuse him of making excuses, and besides, he had already caught Jiang Qingyue, so he gave up.
"I believe she can't cause any big trouble. She's right. With so many grown men like us, are we afraid we can't handle a weak woman like her?"
Jiang Qingyue was gradually moving towards the red color, and half of her body slowly sank into the grass.
Jiang Qingyue kept her word. The further they went, the more she kept her hand raised. When she squatted down, Zhuo Daoba's men could just see Jiang Qingyue's forearm.
Jiang Qingyue held one hand up as she squatted down in front of the red plant.
The Illusion Grass, as its name suggests, is capable of bewitching enemies; it is commonly known as a drug of intoxication. This red color is its fruit, which can counteract the effects of the Illusion Grass.
Jiang Qingyue picked the fruit and the illusion grass separately and hid them in her sleeve. After lingering for a while, seeing that it was almost time, she slowly stood up and walked towards Zhuo Daoba.
When Jiang Qingyue returned to Zhuo Daoba, she consciously raised her hands.
"She's got guts; she actually didn't run away." Zhuo Daoba couldn't help but look at this woman with new respect. She was indeed different from other women; only someone like her was worthy of him, Zhuo Daoba.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Daoba waved his hand and stopped binding Jiang Qingyue. "Let's go back to the mountain stronghold."
Upon returning to the mountain stronghold, Jiang Qingyue was locked in a room where two maids were dressing her up.
That's right, Zhuo Daoba wants to marry Jiang Qingyue tonight.
After the maidservant left, Jiang Qingyue took out the Illusion Grass from her sleeve, crushed it into juice, and dripped it into the teapot on the table. Then, she took out the fruit, put it in her mouth, and sat down to the side as if nothing had happened.
"Stop seeing me off! You guys keep eating and drinking, I'm off to my wedding night, hahaha~"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the door opening came, and Jiang Qingyue saw Zhuo Daoba stagger in, drunk. "Hiccup~ Mother...wife, I've been waiting for so long, hiccup~ After today, you...you are...hiccup...my man. A moment of passion...is worth a thousand pieces of gold, come...come on!"
As he spoke, Scarface Zhuo pounced on him.
Jiang Qingyue knew to dodge, and the drunken Zhuo Daoba lost his balance and fell to the ground with a "bang." The alcohol actually sobered him up a bit. "It's no use you dodging. I'm going to take you down tonight!"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Qingyue stopped Zhuo Daoba.
"What are you up to now? Don't tell me you have a stomachache again." Zhuo Daoba was very unhappy that his good time had been interrupted.
Jiang Qingyue slowly poured a cup of tea for Zhuo Daoba. "I know I'm already in your hands, and there's no way I can escape. Since that's the case, I accept my fate."
As she spoke, Jiang Qingyue squeezed out a few tears.
"So what?" Zhuo Daoba didn't know what she was up to now. "Since you've accepted your fate, why are you still trying to stop me?"
"Chief, I can be with you, but only if you do something for me. Otherwise, I'd rather die than let you have me!" Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhuo Daoba in front of her and came up with a plan.
This remark piqued Zhuo Daoba's curiosity. "Tell me," he said.
"Chief, please have some tea first." Jiang Qingyue handed a teacup filled with tea to Zhuo Daoba.
Zhuo Daoba stared at the teacup in Jiang Qingyue's hand for a while, then carefully examined Jiang Qingyue, trying to find some flaws in her face, but found nothing.
Jiang Qingyue knew his concerns; after all, unsolicited kindness was either malicious or thieving.
She picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and handed it back to Zhuo Daoba, "Are you relieved now?"
Seeing this, Zhuo Daoba felt relieved and drank the tea in his hand in one gulp. Then he sat down in front of Jiang Qingyue and said, "Speak, what do you want to ask of me?"
