Chapter 1260 The Queen Mother's Seven-Day Gift
A flash of cold light appeared in Liang Chongyue's hand, and a head fell to the ground. The guards beside him immediately put it into a bag.
We must not allow it to offend His Majesty's eyes.
"If you don't speak up now, you'll be next."
Bloodstains still clung to the broadsword in Liang Chongyue's hand, with drops of foul-smelling blood dripping down its downward arc.
The moonlight tonight is exceptionally beautiful; even without torches, it would be enough for these people to see what she was holding.
"I'll tell you everything, please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life, sir!"
The big man couldn't take it anymore; just seeing that blood-dripping broadsword scared him half to death.
“We’re not farmers from any nearby village. We’re thugs from the Lihua Brothel in Qiyang City. We came out here to catch this runaway male prostitute. Please spare us, sir! We really didn’t lie in ambush in the bushes on purpose. Please spare us, sir!”
Liang Chongyue laughed when she heard this. When she smiled, she gave Fei He a look, and Fei He immediately stepped forward and dislocated the jaw of the big man who kept begging for mercy.
It's so noisy.
Liang Chongyue brandished the knife in front of the burly men: "Is what he said true?"
The burly men tried to speak, but when they turned around, they saw the man behind them with his jaw dislocated.
He quickly shut his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
After circling around with the knife in his hand, Liang Chongyue walked back to the man.
He slowly squatted down, his smile widening. The system watched from the side, but he didn't see a trace of warmth in the host's eyes.
It still felt like looking at a dead person.
These people have met a host today; may they be reborn into a better life next time.
It's always better to be a cat or a dog than to be a human.
"You escaped from a brothel?"
Jiang Yubai was unwilling to pay attention to the woman in front of him who looked dangerous.
Her clothes were glowing in the moonlight, clearly very valuable.
Such behavior suggests she's a pampered lady from some wealthy family in Qiyang, who doesn't value human life at all.
He had seen many people like this in Qiyang City.
"My men only dislocated your jaw, not your head. If you can't even nod or shake your head, what use is your head?"
Liang Chongyue's voice sounded to the system like the Black and White Impermanence who had just crawled out of the underworld, saying that it was almost the end of the month and they were rushing to meet their targets.
It's been following its host for so long, it's getting a little scared of the sound of it, and it wonders if the kid is afraid.
Jiang Yubai was naturally frightened upon hearing this, and he stared intently at the person in front of him.
It means not doing things according to the wishes of the person in front of you.
"You finally escaped and ran so far, how about I send you back? When I get back, I'll bring some people to help out your business, okay?"
Such humiliating words would be unpleasant to hear for anyone.
The system originally thought that the host would be lenient towards the kid because he had a good-looking face.
I didn't expect the host to be so clear about the distinctions.
A scumbag father is a scumbag father, no matter how much someone else looks like him.
"Waaaaah."
The man finally reacted, but Liang Chongyue felt disgusted and took a step back. Fei He then understood His Majesty's meaning.
He went forward and put the man's mouth back on.
"Answer whatever they ask, and you might save your life."
The pain in Jiang Yubai's chin made his teeth ache terribly whenever he opened his mouth, so he avoided responding if possible.
"How long have you been detained?"
Jiang Yubai was still adjusting to his newly implanted chin and did not respond to Liang Chongyue's question immediately.
Liang Chongyue reached out and gently fiddled with the gold hairpin stuck in the back of his hand.
The moment the gold hairpin dangled on the back of his hand, Jiang Yubai was so overwhelmed by the sudden, intense pain that he couldn't help but scream out.
"You beast, I was blind to have crashed into your carriage. If you have the guts, give me a quick death, or I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
Looking at the face that resembled her scumbag father, Liang Chongyue had a thought in her mind.
It appeared the moment I saw that face.
Seeing him in such pain, Liang Chongyue couldn't help but wonder how feasible her idea was.
She felt sorry for her mother and didn't want to send a disobedient child to her side.
There are many ways to make the Empress Dowager happy; is it necessary to take this risk?
The man she had loved all her life returned to her side in his youth, and he was even more temperamental than before.
Teaching them might be a unique experience.
As Liang Chongyue was thinking, the system suddenly brought up the panel in front of her.
"Host, the information on this kid is out."
The panel blocked Liang Chongyue's view, and the long passages of text on it also blocked Jiang Yubai's angry gaze.
Liang Chongyue slowly got up and began to stare at the panel, reading ten lines at a glance.
The system stood to the side, scrutinizing the face while muttering to itself to the host.
"This life's scumbag father seems to have a rather tragic background. Not only is his life miserable, but he also has an early-deceased father, a seriously ill mother, and a young sister. He wanted to study and his grades were always good, but it's a pity that his family held him back. Otherwise, the host wouldn't have met him in the wild. Perhaps Minglang would have met him first at the scientific expedition site."
"Jiang Yubai, what a nice name, but his fate is bad. He came to Qiyang City to seek help from his betrothed family since childhood to treat his mother's illness. Unexpectedly, his betrothed family received the news early and sent his portrait to a brothel. As soon as he entered the city, he was captured by the thugs guarding the city gate. The only token of their betrothal that could prove the wedding date was also taken away."
Now that token has been completely destroyed by his in-laws, he refused to submit to them in the brothels, biting several people and starving himself to the point of near death, before finally gaining a little sympathy from the madam and the guards relaxed their vigilance towards him, and he ran away.
He's not entirely stupid; he's been hiding in the woods for days, avoiding these burly men, thinking he's going to die. Then he saw our carriage, fought desperately, and rammed into it. But his luck was terrible; it's just bad luck that enemies meet on such a small road..."
After saying this, the system was still observing the host's expression. The saying "enemies meet on a narrow road" was quite reasonable.
"Are you so sure he's the reincarnation of his scumbag father?"
Liang Chongyue quickly read through all the information on the panel without saying a word about what this person had to do with her scumbag father.
"How so?" The system raised its hand and scratched its head: "The host may not know that only when one is reborn from a human to an animal will one's appearance change. If one continues to reincarnate in this realm, one's appearance will not change within ten lifetimes. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this kid should be the reincarnation of his scumbag father."
Liang Chongyue turned off the panel, looked down at Jiang Yubai who was sitting on the ground, his face pale with pain, and the smile in her eyes was even stronger than before.
"How pitiful, such a small white flower. It would be perfect as a Qixi Festival gift for the Empress Dowager."
