Poisonous girls are hard to find: the king's arrogant favorite concubine

Chapter 55
That night, Ding Jiuxi avoided people's eyes and came to Ding Caiqing's room.

"Ding Caiqing, are you sleeping soundly?" Seeing that Ding Caiqing was asleep, Ding Jiuxi asked aloud.

Ding Caiqing was awakened by Ding Jiuxi's voice, "How did you break into my room?"

"Oh! Ding Caiqing, do you dare to touch my maid?" Ding Jiuxi took out his dagger and stretched it out in front of Ding Caiqing.

"Ding Jiuxi, don't mess around, aren't you just a maid?" Ding Caiqing was very scared and threatened at the same time.

"My maid's life is much more precious than yours!" Ding Jiuxi's dagger slid on Ding Caiqing's skin without hurting Ding Caiqing.

"Don't mess around, if you mess up again, I'll call someone!" Ding Caiqing threatened.

Ding Jiuxi's dagger has already cut Ding Caiqing's clothes.

"Ding Caiqing, you hurt my maid's left hand, right?" Ding Jiuxi looked at Ding Caiqing's still talking, ignored her, and asked directly.

"How do I know, Ding Jiuxi, don't be so perverted!" Ding Caiqing felt that her clothes were being torn, and she didn't dare to move, for fear that Ding Jiuxi's dagger would scratch herself.

"I'll let you know!" Ding Jiuxi saw Ding Caiqing's dagger and took it over.

"Ah!" Ding Caiqing felt pain in his hand, and the dagger pinned Ding Caiqing's right hand to the bed.

Ding Jiuxi didn't use his dagger because he was afraid of being dirty.

"You can tell others that I hurt you, and see if anyone believes it?" Ding Jiuxi said openly.

"Ah! It hurts me to death, Ding Jiuxi, you are not human, you are simply too cruel." Ding Caiqing's face was contorted in pain, but her hands were nailed to the bed, and she couldn't move at all.

"Cruel? If you dare to touch my people again, it will not be your clothes that will be cut off next time, but your skin." Ding Jiuxi looked into Ding Caiqing's eyes and said.

When Ding Caiqing saw Ding Jiuxi's eyes when he was twisted in pain, he was frightened.

"Ding Caiqing, do you remember what I told you today? Before the sun goes down tomorrow, remember to do it!" Ding Jiuxi reminded Ding Caiqing, and then walked back.

Ding Caiqing's hands were nailed to the bed, and she screamed loudly, "Help! You killed me!"

Guard A of the General's Mansion heard the voice, but when he walked outside Ding Caiqing's room, he didn't dare to go in, because Ding Caiqing was still a girl who hadn't left the court, and it would be bad to go in like this without authorization.

"Come on! Help!" Ding Caiqing still shouted hoarsely.

Guard A was afraid that someone would die, so he kicked the door open.

"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Guard A didn't see anyone else in the room.

"Ding Jiuxi is going to kill me! Help!" Ding Caiqing saw someone coming in, and fainted from the pain after saying this.

Guard A smelled blood, so he walked towards Ding Caiqing's bed, "Second Miss, what's wrong with you, you offended."

Guard A was very surprised to see Ding Caiqing naked on the bed with a weapon nailed to his hand.

Guard A did not directly rescue Ding Caiqing, but ran to Ding Yin's room overnight and reported Ding Caiqing's condition to Ding Yin.

After Ding Yin heard this, he didn't have any expression on his face, so he asked the guard A to inform the maid to ask the doctor to treat Ding Caiqing.

For a while, the movement of the general's mansion in the middle of the night was known to some spies who were paying attention to the general's mansion.

The next day, Ding Caiqing's gossip appeared in the latest album again.

The picture album published by Liu News is distributed for free every nine days, and there will be 99 copies each time. Although the content of each book is some gossip, there are many gossips from the five major countries.

In the eyes of the common people, Liu Xin's picture album is just some gossip and gossip turned into words and pictures.

But not only the dignitaries in Zhao country, but also the dignitaries in other countries were shocked when they saw these albums.

Someone's information is so developed that it infiltrates into the homes of some nobles in various countries. The albums are so casually written and beautifully painted that the dignitaries of the five major countries are afraid that their scandals will be publicized.

Fengmanlou tea house, private rooms on the second floor.

"Master Ninth, you are indeed my nobleman!" Liu Xin said excitedly standing in front of Ding Jiuxi in men's clothing.

"Uncle Liu, you are also very surprising!" Of course Ding Jiuxi knew the impact of each album in this era.

"Master Nine praises it. Now not only the Zhao people, but also people from many countries are asking who made the album. I will soon be unable to hide it." Liu News came to tell Ding Jiuxi about this matter.

"Uncle Liu, you just recruited truthfully, who is the person behind you?" Ding Jiuxi questioned Liu News' identity.

"Ninth Young Master, isn't it you?" Liu Xinwen patted his head and said.

Ding Jiuxi stared into Liu Xin's eyes, "Liu Xin, you want to tell me some gossip about all countries, you know it so clearly, did you use your wonderful lightness skills to find out by yourself?"

"Exactly!" Liu News tilted his head and said proudly.

"Ming people don't speak dark words. If you want to cooperate with me, just tell me, who is the person behind you?" Ding Jiuxi didn't believe Liu News' nonsense.

"Ninth Young Master, don't inquire about it. I just want to discuss with you. I plan to no longer distribute free albums every time, but charge a fee, and I will share with you in the future." Liu News explained his thoughts.

"Uncle Liu, if you don't tell me who the person behind you is, I won't cooperate with you. Just collect the money yourself! I won't come to you again in the future, and I will find another famous teacher for Qinggong! "Ding Jiuxi said decisively, as if he wanted to make a clean break with Liu News.

"Young Master Ninth, I can't be so unrighteous. I deserve it for you, and I will never be greedy for it alone." Liu Xin was a little anxious, afraid that Ding Jiuxi would break up with him.

Ding Jiuxi didn't speak, but looked into Liu Xin's eyes.

"Master Ninth, I'm afraid of you. There is indeed someone behind me." Liu News couldn't resist Ding Jiuxi's eyes.

"Oh? Who is it?" Several figures appeared in Ding Jiuxi's mind, but he just couldn't think of who they were.

Liu News bowed his head and pondered for a while, "Ninth Young Master, the person behind me is not from Zhao, but who he is, I really can't tell."

"Then I'll leave." Ding Jiuxi said coldly.

"I can only tell you that my master wears red clothes and a silver mask all year round. If you see it, you will know it is him. I really can't tell you the name." Liu News had no choice but to say this .

"Okay! Uncle Liu, I won't force you anymore. Your master's power really spreads all over the continent. I don't know what he wants to do." Ding Jiuxi saw that it was impossible to say more about Liu's news, so he didn't force him up.

"Master Jiu, my master is very simple and has no ambitions, so you don't have to worry." Liu News said to Ding Jiuxi.

"Simple and unambitious? Haha! When can I meet him?" Ding Jiuxi was very curious about this person.

"My master never sees guests, please forgive me, Mr. Ninth." Liu Xin said apologetically, leaning down.

Ding Jiuxi felt that the scene at this time was very familiar.

Blacksmith Li Kui also has a master behind him, and Li Kui's master is also very powerful, and he never sees customers. Could it be the same person?

"Okay! Mr. Liu, since you want to cooperate with me to make money, of course I am very happy." Ding Jiuxi said, avoiding this topic.

Seeing that Ding Jiuxi finally stopped asking about his master, Liu Xin felt relieved.

"Ninth Young Master, how do you want to divide it?" Liu News also got straight to the point.

"Three to seven, you three to seven." Ding Jiuxi said indifferently.

"Deal!" Liu News said without heartache.

Ding Jiuxi appreciates Liu Xin's straightforwardness.

"Mr. Liu is straightforward, of course I can't let you suffer!" Ding Jiuxi said with a smile.

"Haha! Young Master Ninth, it's all [-]-[-] points, how can I not suffer? This loss, I admit it." Liu News also laughed.

"Uncle Liu, do you think it would be better if there was a copy of this album every day?" Ding Jiuxi asked.

"That's right! I've thought about it too! But it takes time and energy for scholars to copy this picture album every time." Liu Xinwen was invigorated when he heard Ding Jiuxi's words, and asked incredulously, "Could it be that you can solve the problem of copying?" ?”

"Yes!" Ding Jiuxi definitely said.

Liu News asked excitedly, "Really? But how do you do it?"

"Uncle Liu, do you know the seal?" Ding Jiuxi looked at Liu Xin's appearance, so he said persuasively.

"Of course! Who doesn't have a seal yet, but I, Uncle Liu, have one!" Liu News said immediately.

Ding Jiuxi didn't speak, but looked into Liu Xin's eyes and smiled without saying a word.

"Jiu Gongzi, you mean to engrave the words on the seal, and you can print many picture albums with just one engraving each time?" The seal and seal appeared in Liu Xin's mind, and then he said suddenly.

"Smart!" Ding Jiuxi praised.

Liu Xin was so excited that he was about to jump up, because he thought of publishing a picture album every day.

"You got the point, but you're still not right, Mr. Liu!" Seeing Liu Xin's excitement, Ding Jiuxi hit him.

The expression on Liu Xin's face became shocked, "Master Jiu said it better than this?"

"Of course! Mr. Liu has heard of movable type printing?" Ding Jiuxi wanted to tell Liu the principle of movable type printing.

Liu News shook his head.

"Movable type is like engraving a seal. A single character is made into a model of the same size with clay and wood." Ding Jiuxi explained.

"Printing means that after you have written all the gossip news, select those movable type individually according to the news, arrange them on a plate, paint them with ink, and print them on paper." Ding Jiuxi coaxed.

Liu News kept nodding his head and admired Ding Jiuxi, "It's great! Why didn't I think of it!"

"After printing a message, these movable type can be dismantled and reused next time." Ding Jiuxi looked at Liu News and finished speaking.
