Feng Yin Tian Xia Chapter 10

Chapter 10

The knocking sound was very loud that it woke Zhu Xiang up. She lit a candle, draped an outer robe over her shoulders and was about to go open the door when bang sound was heard. The person outside could not wait already, he kicked the door open.

A tall figure barged in to the tent.

“Oh my! So it is, it is …. Right Military Officer Da Qi …. you…you…” The smile on Zhu Xiang’s face suddenly turned somewhat stiff, her speaking was also somewhat unsmooth.

Previously, Zhu Xiang was all smiles as she greeted her guests, she looked rather unusual right now.

Hua Zhu Yu coldly swept her eyes at that person. On this cold night he had only a robe draped over his shoulders, exposed his bronze skin as well as his mountain-like, heaving muscular chest. A long scar on his right face looked particularly hideous in the candlelight. No wonder Zhu Xiang was somewhat fear this man called Da Qi. In just a single look could be told that he was not a kind person. Even Zhu Xiang who had been accustomed to being an army prostitute was reluctant to serve this kind of guest. However, this person clearly came looking for her.

Since she was sent to the red tent, Hua Zhu Yu was aware that there would be one day she had to come across this kind of situation, but did not expect it would be this fast. These people really did not give her breathing space at all.

How to deal with him then?

This person apparently was one of Xiao Yin’s high ranking military officers. He had this fierce, austere demeanor. His movements were brisk. He must have been a valiant general on battlefield.
She had not recovered her internal force, no difference from ordinary people. She was not his opponent.

That man scowled at Zhu Xiang, pushed her away and strode to Hua Zhu Yu’s side.

“Are you that Southern dynasty’s princess who came for marriage alliance”? he arrived at the front of Hua Zhu Yu’s bed, stretched out his sturdy arm and pulled Hua Zhu Yu out of the bed. Leaning over the dim candlelight, he sized her up like a wild wolf watching its prey.

Hua Zhu Yu did not put up a fight, she had not found a chance to strike. Holding back disgust in her heart, she endured the smell of wine coming from the man’s mouth, endured his stripping scrutiny.

“Such a dirty face, oh, this skin is truly smooth ah, though nothing great about it, hehe.. hehe… *chuckle* but, ben da ren does not mind.” The man’s calloused fingers touched Hua Zhu Yu’ face, feeling her creamy skin for a moment. He then relinquished his grip, threw her on the bed, took off his robe, and proceeded to take off Hua Zhu Yu’s garments.

The garments on Hua Zhu Yu’s body was Jin Se’s. It was the ones that Jin Se switched with her.

The sound of garments being torn were like thunderclap in Hua Zhu Yu’s ears.

Jin Se was humiliated in such a way on that day.

Sadness were like ice, turning her heart into a frozen lake. Anger were like fire, igniting a piling up of gunpowder in her heart. When the ice was replaced by the fire, she quietly pulled a hairpin out of her hair, clenched it tightly in her palm that she felt a sting in her palm caused by the hard top of the hairpin.

For the first time in her life, Hua Zhu Yu felt that her previous self was somewhat haughty and arrogant, why she did not prepare herself an easy to carry, self-defense weapon? Now, could only rely on this merely a silver hairpin.

Actually, she did not want to kill people, she had no choice but to do it because she had to keep on living.

This da ren, don’t be so impatient ….” Facing the man, Hua Zhu Yu smiled sweetly. Her low voice was slightly husky, gave off an irresistible charm.

Her sudden smile dazzled the man, he was just staring blankly at her.

Smiling gracefully, Hua Zhu Yu raised her slender, jade-like hand and caressed the back of the man’s head, slowly slided down to his nape. Unaware of the danger, the man leaned over to kiss Hua Zhu Yu’s face. Hua Zhu Yu thrusted the silver hairpin in her hand to his nape.

“Argh” The man wailed, his tall figure rolled off the bed onto the ground. Hua Zhu Yu hurriedly approached his body, sealed his acupoints and pressed the hairpin against his neck where his pulse beat.

The hairpin was not sharp enough, which otherwise was sufficient to kill him just now.

The man was so angry that his were wide open, looked at this seemingly weak woman in disbelief.

“You…you… have the cheek to raise your hand against me, what do you want to do?” a pair of his eyes glared angrily.

Yet, Hua Zhu Yu smiled languidly, the pretty red phoenix eyes¹ curved slightly, gleaming waves in her eyes flowed like clear spring water. That smiling expression was especially gentle and graceful, without a single trace of kiling intent could be seen.

¹Eyes whose outer corners incline upwards

And yet, Da Qi felt an indescribable sense of fear rising up inside him.

He believed that this woman before him definitely could kill him smilingly. He, Da Qi, was not nobody in military, though he was not afraid to die, but today to be immobilized by a woman, was a great shame for him!

His veins were popping out of his forehead in anger as he roared like a leopard “You…you… this whore, I will kill you, I will kill you…”

Hua Zhu Yu pressed the hairpin even tighter against his neck, at once blood gushed out of Da Qi’s neck, his shouting voice lowered in an instant.

“Shout again, believe it or not, once I put forth some strength, you will shut up immediately?” Hua Zhu Yu said in a dull tone, her lucid and exquisite pupils were very cold, like bottomless deep pond with cool mist that encircled it “I come for marriage alliance, am given to your crown prince. Nominally, I am still you crown prince’s woman. The relationship between North and South was very bad at present, thus will your crown prince send me to here. But no one can tell for sure that one day the misunderstanding between the two dynasties will be cleared up. When the time comes, your crown prince certainly will get me out of here. Then, what is the end for the likes of you who have come here?”

Da Qi was stunned. Tonight, he dared to come here because his men egg him on. Moreover, he has drunk some wine, thus was somewhat impetuous. Now, hearing Hua Zhu Yu’s words, he was suddenly struck with fear.

Although he had been with Crown Prince Xiao Yin for so long, he still unable to understand his temper. This woman was tossed into a red tent, but nevertheless she was the crown prince’s woman ah!

“I, Da Qi, sweared by Heaven, absolutely will never again come bother Princess, I go back and order my men absolutely not allowed to come!” he said firmly.

Hua Zhu Yu squinted her eyes to look at him and saw regret in his eyes. Knowing that he did not lie, she untied his sealed acupoints.

Clutching his bleeding neck, Da Qi got up from the ground. He threw Hua Zhu Yu an angry glance and went out of the tent.

“Are you truly that princess who comes for marriage alliance? You are really awesome ah! Even General Da Qi is being docile and obedient” Zhu Xiang said admiringly.

Hua Zhu Yu was not a little bit happy, she did not know, after driving Da Qi away, would there be other people who came looking for her? Next time, what should she do?
