Noble First Daughter-in-law

Hearing the words "Unpredictable Prophet", the people outside also fell silent, as if they were not only deeply moved by these words, but also had a kind of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

After a while, I heard Jin Daji say with a half-smile: "Isn't it?"

"..."

"It's because of my master's clever calculations that he knew that you would definitely do something like this, so he specially asked me to catch you."

At this moment, Pei Xingyuan's breathing also became heavy.

A lot of spices were obviously piled up in this room. Even though the things had been emptied, the scent that permeated into the walls, roof, and even the ground under his feet was still extremely strong. His whole body seemed to have sunk into a deep pool. Drowned and barely able to breathe.

He could only stretch out his hand and barely supported it on the door panel.

After a while, Pei Xingyuan sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "So——you have deliberately delayed for so many days, just to make me think that you are hesitating."

"..."

"The price was raised on the ground, and the extra money was doubled, just to convince me that you just want money."

"..."

"And tonight, let me come alone, just to—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound from outside through the door. Someone put something outside the door. Pei Xingyuan was tortured by the smell and couldn't breathe. What happened, a few more figures flashed outside the small window next to it.

They also piled things under the window.

Although his mind was blank, Pei Xingyuan walked over intuitively. There were several iron bars on the window, and he held on to the bars to look out——

Only the few men in black who followed brought out a large bundle of firewood from nowhere and piled it under the window.

Outside the door, there was already a pile half a person high.

Pei Xingyuan's eyes widened all of a sudden: "You, what are you going to do?!"

He raised his head and looked at Jin Daji, who was standing not far from the door with his hands behind his back, leisurely and with a smug smile on his face, and he saw the other party said coldly: "Mr. Pei, don't blame me. We, if you want to blame, blame yourself."

Pei Xingyuan's face sank: "Blame me? Do you blame me for being on the wrong team?"

That Jin Daji raised his eyebrows slightly. If someone else made such an expression, it might be contemptuous or aloof, but his appearance was really ugly, and it only gave people a sense of absurdity, but he But he didn't notice at all, he just walked up slowly, looked at Pei Xingyuan and said, "That's right."

"Is it?"

Pei Xingyuan's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Could it be, what else did I miss?"

Hearing this, Jin Daji's black bean-like eyes flashed a little light, but the expression on his face was a bit weird, although the words were spoken by himself, there seemed to be a kind of—— Even he himself can't believe it.

Pei Xingyuan immediately grasped something, and said in a subtle tone: "Could it be, didn't you do something wrong?"

"..."

"It's me—what would I do?"

"...!?"

At this moment, although there was no expression on Jin Daji's face, because the torch he held up high flickered, his pupils could clearly be seen constricting suddenly.

Pei Xingyuan's breathing was also tight.

Is it—

However, at this time, there was no more time for him to think about it. In just two or three sentences, those big men in black had already piled the dry firewood they had prepared in advance outside the door and under the window, and one of them walked away. Returning to Jin Daji, he said in a deep voice, "Brother, get ready."

Hearing this, Jin Daji returned to his usual expression, raised his head to look at Pei Xingyuan, and then showed a sly and ferocious sneer again.

"Mr. Pei, I'm sorry."

After speaking, he walked over with a torch, first lit the firewood at the door, and then threw the torch under the window!
Hearing the muffled sound of "huh", the dry wood immediately ignited when it met the fire, and a flame half a person's height rose up. Pei Xingyuan only felt a heat on his face, and the flame had already shot up suddenly, climbing up along the window sill , and rushed towards his face, Pei Xingyuan hurriedly took a step back.

At this moment, his mind was a little empty.

Although Shen Wuzheng had always told him before that if he was allowed to come alone on this trip, he was afraid that the other party had set a trap, and there must be danger tonight, but while he was worried about fear, he was fully prepared.

But even so, he didn't expect that it would be like this.

The other party didn't give him any chance to negotiate or escape at all, and it was even different from the matter of the medicinal materials for the plague this time. On the contrary, it was the same as the previous situation where Yu Wenye was about to be killed.

The other party wanted his life!
And the reason—probably the little meaning that Jin Daji leaked from his mouth just now.

What will he do!
Thinking about it this way, his mind became confused again. After all, he hadn't really experienced the "Unpredictable Prophet" and the vicious methods of the other party. At this moment, the flames had already burned, licking the dark window sill, and kept rushing in. Thick smoke filled the whole room at once, mixing with the strong fragrance, it made Pei Xingyuan unable to breathe immediately.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem—"

Pei Xingyuan coughed violently, and his eyes were red from the smoke.

And amidst his coughing, Jin Daji's sneer also sounded, but it was slowly going away. Pei Xingyuan raised his head, staring outside with red eyes, only to see Jin Daji turning around slowly and preparing to leave.

While walking, he said: "Young Master Pei, you can enjoy it slowly here."

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that they were about to leave, Pei Xingyuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "I have one last question to ask you."

"..."

"Your master, who is it?!"

"..."

Jin Daji stopped, turned his face to the side, looked at him with an impatient sneer expression that was even more amused, and said: "It's all over now, Mr. Pei, are you still unwilling to give up?"

Through the flames, Pei Xingyuan's eyes were blood red. At this moment, Jin Daji's heart couldn't help trembling as his eyes seemed to be seen from the karmic fire of hell.

He said: "Yeah, it's already this time, what else can I ask for?"

"..."

"However, I beg you to understand, that's all."

When he said this, he was choked by the thick smoke and coughed for a while, his voice was already hoarse, when he said it, it was like a scream coming from hell, Jin Daji seemed to be shocked a bit, He looked at him again, frowning.

But still nothing was said.

I don't know, when he looked back at that look, Pei Xingyuan suddenly thought of the cunning but more greedy look that he used to see on his face these days.

In an instant, the Lingtai was suddenly clear.

While coughing, Pei Xingyuan slowly reached into his arms and took out the two bank notes.

Then it was raised high, and it shook twice on the part of the window that hadn't been burned by the flames.

"...!"

Jin Daji's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

It was the greedy light that was already extremely familiar at ordinary times, and now it was reflected more clearly and more intensely by the firelight.

Pei Xingyuan said: "The 1000 taels, if placed here with me, would be reduced to ashes."

"..."

"Brother Jin, I will definitely die here today."

"..."

"So, I finally used the 1000 taels to buy one."

"..."

"Just tell me here that the 1000 taels are yours, and I—I will be reduced to ashes anyway, do you know that it has no influence on you anymore, doesn't it?"

The more he said, the more Jin Daji's eyes flickered.

The blazing flame seemed to be the greed in his heart, the flame was about to pass over the window and engulf the entire room, and the greed in his heart seemed to be about to swallow his reason.

Although Jin Daji hadn't moved yet, he gritted his teeth hard, with a struggling expression on his face.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "You—"

He didn't seem to know how to ask this question, let alone what he should ask, but Pei Xingyuan coughed and said eagerly: "I have no choice."

"..."

"The only choice now is you!"

"...!"

Hearing this, Jin Daji's eyes brightened a little.

The only choice now is him!
That's right, Pei Xingyuan is already a dead person at this moment, he has no way out, let alone a choice, but he can still choose, as long as he takes a step forward and spits out a few words, he can get 1000 taels of silver, and for a dead person, even if he Knowing the truth doesn't help at all!

This is more irresistible than a huge profit!
Thinking of this, Jin Daji couldn't help but took a step forward.

As if affected by his figure, a gust of wind blew past him suddenly, and suddenly blew towards the house. The flames in front of the door and the window were already connected together, and the entire window was about to be engulfed in flames. , The tongue of fire has even licked Pei Xingyuan's sleeve.

Any closer, and the silver ticket will be burned!
At this moment, the blazing heat of the flame burned through Jin Daji's heart. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, reaching out to grab the banknote in Pei Xingyuan's hand.

But the moment he stretched out his hand, Pei Xingyuan suddenly let go!

The silver bill fell down danglingly, and was engulfed by flames in the blink of an eye.

"what--!"

Jin Daji let out a scream, but before the sound could spread, he felt his wrist sink!
It was Pei Xingyuan who grabbed his wrist.

"what!"

The scream suddenly turned into an exclamation. Jin Daji subconsciously withdrew his hand, but felt his wrist was pulled heavily again. It was Pei Xingyuan who grabbed his wrist with both hands and pulled it back suddenly. His whole arm was pulled into the window, and Jin Daji threw himself directly in front of the window, trying to struggle, but Pei Xingyuan gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

The flames immediately swallowed half of Jin Daji's body, causing him to scream in agony.

"Ah! Let go! Let go!"
