C30 If a Tiger Doesn't Show off His Might Do You Think I'm a Sick Cat
Xia Chun hid Xia Yiyi behind him, staring at Tuoba Jing warily.
Tuoba's ice-cold gaze swept past Xia Chun and landed on Xia Yi Yi Yi: "Take him away."
The group of imperial guards swarmed over. Xia Chun wanted to retaliate, but he didn't expect that Xia Yi Yi would grab hold of him. She whispered to him, "Brother Xia, bear with it. Don't hurt your feelings on the spur of the moment."
Xia Chun's fists were clenched tightly as he watched Xia Yi Yi Yi being grabbed by the imperial guards as if they were trying to capture a prisoner.
Xia Chun was also caught red-handed. He heard the imperial guards say, "Be quiet. Otherwise, you'll be on the right track."
Tuoba Jin pulled the reins, and the tall and handsome horse moved forward, followed by the guards behind him.
Tuoba Jing and others checked into the station the county magistrate had specially prepared.
"Your Highness, this is a room that I have ordered my men to prepare for you, are you satisfied with it?" The county magistrate's surname was Chen, and he could be considered an official who did things for the citizens. At least, he had never been severely beaten or abused by taxes, so the commoners still favored him.
Tuoba Jing just looked at the house, which was a fraction of what he was in the capital city, with his hands behind his back. He did not say a word.
County Official Chen's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Both of his hands were tightly folded together due to nervousness. "Your Highness, are you not satisfied with it? If you are not satisfied, I can order people to prepare more. "
Li De Quan, who was at the side, carefully looked at Tuoba Jing's expression and secretly waved his hand towards County Magistrate Chen. With a shrill voice, he said: "County Magistrate Chen, you may leave.
Magistrate Chen breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fists, and bowed: "Then this lowly official will take his leave. If Your Highness needs anything, feel free to order this lowly official to do so."
After County Magistrate Chen left, Li De Quan came forward and asked, "Your Royal Highness, do you need this servant to invite that lady over?"
Tuoba Jing looked at the picture of a crouching tiger and a pine tree hanging on the wall. Li De Quan became even more careful. This master of his had a strange temperament and it was hard to guess his thoughts.
"Your Highness, do you need a servant to bring her here?" Li Dequan asked.
Tuoba Xiang slightly nodded his head.
Li De Quan felt relieved as if he had received an amnesty.
"Your highness, your servant will bring her here now." Li De Quan bent his body and retreated, and in the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he led Xia Yi Yi into the room.
"Your Highness, they're here."
Tuoba Yang raised his hand and said, "Step down."
"Yes."
After Li Dequan left, only Xia Yiyi and Tuoba were left in the large room.
Xia Yi Yi rolled her eyes and obediently bowed to Tuoba Jing. "My daughter, Xia Yi Shuang, greets Your Highness. Your highness has lived for thousands of years."
Tuoba Jing did not make a sound, nor did he let her get up.
She could only endure the soreness in her hands. However, her eyes were still unsettled as she stared at Tuoba Jing's back, cursing his ancestors in her heart.
"Have you seen enough?" Tuoba's cold voice rang out.
Xia Yiyi was surprised for a moment, immediately returning to her harmless expression. "Master, I've discovered that you've become even more handsome in just a few days. You've bewitched me to the point where I can't find a place to go."
Tuoba looked at Xia Yiyi with an icy gaze as he coldly said, "Repeat what you just said?"
Xia Yiyi choked, momentarily unable to understand Tuoba Jing's attitude.
"Master, I feel that you are truly a person with a beautiful appearance. You are extremely handsome." Xia Yiyi said innocently.
Tuoba Jing walked towards her with large strides, causing Xia Yi Yi to step backwards. Seeing her like this, Tuoba Jing's deep phoenix eyes flashed with a dark light, and his voice became even deeper: "How many men do you have to speak like this?"
Xia Yi Yi was startled and innocently asked, "What?"
Tuoba Jing extended a hand to support her chin, his eyes locked onto her as he said, "From the moment I met you, have you always been this unorthodox to men?"
Xia Yiyi figured out the meaning behind his words. She rolled her eyes and said: "Master, this is the first time I've praised someone." Even in modern times, there wasn't a single man who was worthy of her sincere praise.
Tuoba Jing's expression clearly relaxed for a moment.
"How did you and that man get here?" Tuoba Jing turned around and asked as he got her to her feet.
Xia Yizhen lowered her head and spoke with a very low voice, sounding very pitiful, "Elder, I was chased out of the Xia Family Village."
"Raise your head and face This King." Tuoba Jing ordered.
Xia Yiyi's heart trembled. She was rather fearful of this man before her.
"I wonder if this grandpa has any other orders for you?" Xia Yi Yi raised her head and asked carefully.
"Why did the Xia Family Village chase you out?"
Hearing this, Xia Yiyi's eyes suddenly turned red. Her original body had always been beautiful, and although she had a skinny body, her looks were still there. With Xia Yiyi's recent care, her looks became more and more outstanding.
"Speak!" Tuoba Xiang obviously did not buy into his words, and spoke with an extremely cold tone.
Xia Yiyi said in a slightly depressed tone, "I've been to Xia Family Village, and I think I've heard some things about this little girl. I've been seen as an ominous person since I was young, and have a face like this, so if I was born in a large family, I might still be able to find a husband. Unfortunately, I ended up without a mother and father, and grew up in an inhospitable place like Xia Family Village, unable to burn this little girl to death.
"Is that so?" Tuoba Jing's tone did not change at all. "I just need to send someone to Xia Family Village to investigate if what you said is a lie or not. Are you sure you don't want to tell me the truth?"
Xia Yiyi was about to curse out loud. She did not understand what Tuoba Jing was trying to do, as he wanted to pester her to death in this matter.
She thought hard and felt a sudden sense of frustration. She felt that if she met this man Tuoba Jing, she would be the loser. At least for now, she hadn't won against him yet.
She took a deep breath and decided to be honest.
"Master, I'll be honest with you."
She actually told him about what happened during this period of time that was half true and half false.
"You said that you're the woman selected by the Xia Family Village to be sent to the Imperial Palace as Imperial Brother's concubine?" Tuoba repeated her words.
Xia Yiyi nodded, "Master, everything that I have said is the truth. If there is a lie, then the heavens will strike and the lightning will strike; I will not die a good death."
She had heard that the ancient people were very superstitious. They all trusted in ghosts and gods. She had even made a poison oath. This uncertain man should believe her now, right?
Tuoba Jing looked her over from head to toe. His eyes seemed to say, Is it even worth being chosen as the emperor's concubine if you act like this?
The heck, is there a need for your gaze to be so exposed?
"Xia Chen is indeed a smart person. He shouldn't have chosen to send you up." Tuoba said in all seriousness.
Xia Yiyi sucked in a deep breath. She wasn't angry at all. She just wanted to pinch him.
"Does grandpa think that this little girl is too ugly?" Xia Yiyi lowered her head and said while grinding her teeth.
Tuoba Jing had his gaze fixed on her for a long time before he said, "Your looks are not bad, just that you are not curvy at all, and there are countless beauties in the palace. Are you sure brother Huang would like a normal woman like you?"
She was just young, and she was just malnourished in the past. As she grew older, the plasticity of her body was still very strong, and when she reached the age of eighteen or twenty, she could guarantee that it would bulge out, making all the men drool.
Master is right, this little girl knows her own limits, she is afraid that this master will choose this little girl out of nothing, and send this little girl into the palace. "Master is right, this little girl is wrong, and is afraid that this master will choose this little girl out of nothing, and then send this little girl into the palace.
Tuoba's voice turned cold.
"Raise your head."
Xia Yiyi was startled, but she still slowly raised her head and revealed a harmless smile. "Master, do you have any orders?"
"You like that man?"
Xia Yiyi knitted her brows in doubt and asked, "Who?"
"Stop playing dumb for This King."
How tyrannical! They will only be tyrannical towards me, tyrannical towards the divine horses are the most detestable. When I gain power one day, let's see how I'll deal with you.
Xia Yiyi's heart beat at least nine times.
However, on the surface, he still said very innocently: "Master, are you talking about Big Brother Xia?"
Tuoba Xiang snorted.
Xia Yiyi slightly knitted her brows and said: "Elder, even if I like Big Brother Xia, I shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"
Tuoba Jing's expression darkened. Even though his face was always solemn, Xia Yiyi was keenly aware of the change in his expression.
"What did you say?" Tuoba An said coldly.
Xia Yi Yi's smile became even more innocent as she meekly said: "Master, it's just a joke, just a joke. I wonder if you have any orders for me to ask this little girl and Brother Xia to come back?"
Tuoba Jing lifted his robe and sat down on the chair. He closed his eyes and pointed at his shoulder.
Seeing him like this, Xia Yiyi suddenly asked, "Is this grandpa asking me to pinch your shoulder?"
Tuoba Xiang nodded slightly.
Bastard! Old bastard!
Xia Yi Yi couldn't help but curse in her heart, but she was still unwilling to give him a squeeze on his shoulder.
"Master, is this power enough?" Xia Yiyi asked like a dog.
Tuoba An said coldly, "Increase your strength."
Xia Yiyi said, "I'll pinch you to death." However, he still pinched his shoulder.
"Master, can I discuss it with you?" Xia Yiyi asked as she haggled.
"Speak!"
"Master, if I serve you well, can you pretend that you have never seen this little girl before?" In a while, just let this little girl and Big Brother Xia go. "
Xia Yiwei said in a low voice.
"Since you've been sent to the palace as an imperial concubine among the Xia Family's villagers, do you think this prince will let you go?" Tuoba Jing closed his eyes and said.
"Master, there are so many people in the Central Plains, so many beauties, and there's not a single one less than this little girl. Moreover, as Master has said, this little girl has not fully matured yet, and her looks are at most of medium or inferior to that of the Emperor. I'm afraid that the Emperor will be interested in her." Xia Yiyi ground her teeth in anger, but she still smiled at him: "Master, there are so many people in the Central Plains, and countless beauties as well, I might let this little girl go because of your kindness."
The corner of Tuoba Qing's mouth curled up. It was a pity that Xia Yiyi was standing behind him and did not notice it. If she had seen it, she would definitely have shamelessly begged him.
"It's not impossible for This King to release you, but This King has a request." Tuoba's deep voice, to Xia Yiyi's ears, was like the music of heaven.
"Master, feel free to speak."
Xia Yiyi said jubilantly.
"As long as you give me your virgin body, I will let you go." Tuoba Jing said.
Nani!
Xia Yiyi dug her ears out, thinking that she had misheard. A cold-blooded, cold-blooded, emotionless man like Tuoba Jing, would he say such shameless words?
"Master, what did you just say? I didn't hear you. "
"Since you eloped with another man to such an extent, you must have already lost your virginity. You shouldn't mind accompanying another man, right?"
Tuoba Jing sneered and said sarcastically.
Xia Yiyi clenched her fists. This man was too despicable.
She raised her elbow and was about to drop it on Tuoba Jing's shoulder when she suddenly realized that she was moving too fast. Tuoba Jing moved even faster, not only avoiding her movements, but also causing her to almost fall over from her chair due to the lack of support.
After stabilizing herself with much difficulty, she glared angrily at Tuoba Jing, gritted her teeth and said, "You're an amazing prince, I've never seen a man with such bad character like you. To be honest, you really think I'm a sick cat that can take care of you?"
