Poor Lady Chapter 89: timing
The next day, Qi Surong counted the goods one by one, completed the first transaction with Boya, and then asked everyone in the business to return first, leaving only Xiao Liu by his side to take care of him. Yilun didn't stop them, but sent people to follow them secretly and keep an eye on their whereabouts. Then, in the name of discussing matters, he asked Qi Surong to accompany him.
Qingying obviously did not give up on marrying Boya. Patriarch Datan invited Yilun to go horse racing and hunting in the grassland, creating opportunities for him to get along with Alorian from time to time. With such an obvious performance, no matter how dull Yilun is, he can see how strong Datan's desire to marry Boya is, and in connection with the recent movements of various ministries in the Western Regions, he faintly senses Qingying's ambitions.
Yilun sneered in his heart, although he also coveted the richness of the Central Plains, he would never show his bravery. For such a hasty alliance, he would not dispatch a single soldier without three to five years of preparation.
Qi Surong didn't know what Yilun was thinking at the moment, but only knew that the Boya tribe led by Yilun in his previous life was the main force of the Western Regions Alliance, and Alorian became their bond, which prompted Yilun to make a wrong judgment.
At present, it seems that Yilun is not enthusiastic about Alorraine, more polite than admiring, on the contrary, he often makes intimate moves towards her.
Qi Surong tried her best to avoid being alone with Yilun, but even so, she was still seen as somewhat ambiguous, and the first person who challenged her was Alorian.
"You!" She sat on the horseback, pointed at Su Rong with a whip, raised her eyebrows coldly, "come and compete with me."
"I'm not good at riding, I'm afraid I will disappoint Miss Alorian." Qi Surong replied with a bow.
"You'll know if you're smart or not." Alorian flicked her whip to the ground, "If you're a man, don't dawdle, come up! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Qi Surong looked at Yilun, but saw the man standing with his chest folded, looking like he was watching the show, knowing that he would not speak out to help, so he got on the horse and walked to Alorian's side.
"Listen." Alorraine leaned sideways and threatened in a low voice, "Whoever loses this competition must obey the other person."
"I'm sorry, I don't like to make casual bets with people."
"You are such a coward! You dare not even accept a woman's bet."
"Knowing that you are losing but still betting, it seems brave but really stupid. I am not a gentleman, so I don't need to put myself at a disadvantage for a little face." Qi Surong replied very frankly, but it made people unable to feel bad.
Iron smiled silently.
"Okay, you're fine!" Alorian flicked her whip angrily, "Then don't care about the bet, let's start!"
The servant next to him gave an order, and the two horses shot out like arrows from the string, galloping across the vast grassland. Without the restriction of the betting contract, Qi Surong didn't care about winning or losing, and enjoyed the pleasant feeling of the warm wind blowing past his ears.
The two are one in front and one behind, and the distance between them is no more than four or five meters. One is reckless and proficient, the other is heroic, with a purple skirt and blue shirt with flying sleeves, turning into a beautiful scenery above the blue sky and greenery.
The crowd around the audience cheered loudly and kept shouting for the two of them.
Yalorian's riding skills are excellent, and she has always been in the lead, while Qi Surong is gradually being pulled away. Just when the two of them were about to complete the run, Alorraine's horse neighed suddenly, and its front hooves jumped high.
"Ah!" Alorraine was frightened, holding on to the rein tightly, trying to stabilize her figure. But the horse underneath seemed to be mad, running up and down.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several knights rode their horses to rescue immediately.
At this moment, Qi Surong galloped quickly from behind Ya Luolian on the horse, seeing that Ya Luolian was about to fall off the horse's back, she hooked her across the back of her horse, and hooked her onto her own horse's back.
The horse galloped forward for a while, and finally stopped slowly under Qi Surong's control.
Yalorian's face turned pale, and she was panting in front of Qi Surong.
Qi Surong patted her on the back and comforted her: "It's all right."
Aloraine waved her hand away, glared at her, quickly jumped off the horse, ran towards the mad horse angrily, raised the whip and whipped it: "Damn beast! You made me lose face so much , I will kill you tonight."
The horse was controlled by several knights, unable to escape, it could only neigh in pain under the whip.
Da Tan couldn't stop him, so he could only frown, and looked at "Zhuofan" uncertainly. The horse suddenly went berserk, was it accidental or premeditated? Then it occurred to him that the horse race was proposed by Alorraine, and it seemed impossible for the man to arrange it in advance.
Erasing the doubts in his heart, Datan sent someone to check the condition of the horses. As a result, Alorraine whipped the whip too hard, causing the horses to suffer from pain and go mad. For Alorraine, who has been dealing with horses since she was a child, it was a small mistake.
Alorian's face was ugly, and she ran back to the camp without even saying hello.
Yilon shook his head secretly, this Alorian is beautiful, but she is narrow-minded and has a spoiled temper, she is really not suitable to be his wife. He shifted his gaze to Qi Surong again, seeing her starry eyebrows and bright eyes, her demeanor just like that of a man, her demeanor not inferior to that of a man and her calmness different from that of a woman are so special, it is heart-stirring. It's a pity that she is a woman from the Central Plains, and her identity is unknown, and she is not perfect...
Iron felt a jealousy towards the man who once possessed her, and a gleam of certainty flashed in his eyes.
The three days set before seemed too long, he should have wanted her that night!
"I'm sorry, I surprised Alorraine." Yilun clasped his fists at Datan, "Eirun hosted a banquet tonight, to shock Alorraine."
Da Tan nodded and said with a smile, "No need to apologize, it's because the little girl is spoiled, so it's good to let her learn a lesson." What's the relationship, you seem to value 'him' very much?"
"'He' is Yi Lun's friend." Yi Lun replied, "Maybe he will be stationed in Boya in the future and be responsible for handling some business."
"I see." Da Tan stopped asking, and instead made a request, "Yilun, my little girl admires you very much. If you can talk to her later, she will be very happy."
"How could Yilun refuse when Patriarch Datan asked? During lunch, Yilun went to invite her in person."
"Haha, I'll be fine." Datan raised his head and laughed.
A pair of people and horses played on the grassland for a long time before returning home having fun.
A bonfire was lit in the camp, and the smell of food was overflowing. Yilun kept his promise and personally went to ask Alorraine to come out for dinner. Sure enough, Allorian's anger disappeared, and she followed Yilun with a smile.
In the evening, another bonfire banquet was held in the inner camp, but the scale was much smaller, mainly for the father and daughter of Datan and several senior generals.
Qi Surong was dragged to join in the fun again, sitting behind Yilun, and was glared several times by Alorian.
She has tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, but Yilun takes care of her from time to time, making it impossible for her not to be noticed. Seeing this scene, many people feel a little puzzled. Young Patriarch Yilun has a suitable relationship with that man? Is the atmosphere between them too ambiguous?
After the dinner party, Qi Surong was forcibly dragged into his tent by Yi Lun.
Qi Su tolerated it all night, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and asked: "Young Patriarch, what do you want to do? Didn't you agree to hide your identity for me? But isn't your presumptuous behavior so obvious?" ?”
Yilun laughed a few times in a low voice, leaned on the animal leather chair, and looked lazily at Qi Surong.
Qi Surong was uncomfortable being watched by him, calmed down, clasped his fists and said: "It's getting late, let's forget about today's affairs, I will take my leave."
Yilun's ears moved slightly, and suddenly he grabbed Qi Surong's hand, dragged her into his arms, turned over and pressed her down.
Qi Surong's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Young patriarch, didn't you give me three days to think about it?"
"I regret it." Yilun lowered his head and bit her neck.
Qi Surong froze and struggled, "Let go... um."
The lips were blocked, and the limbs were crushed so that they could not move. The clothes of the two people overlapped, and their bodies were tightly entangled.
"Bang!" Suddenly there was the sound of the tray falling to the ground, startling the two kissing people in the tent.
Yilun and Qi Surong followed the sound and saw Alorian standing by the curtain, looking at them incredulously, tremblingly said: "You, you actually..."
The corner of Yilun's mouth hooked into a smile, turned over and pulled Qi Surong to sit on his lap, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what's the business of Ya Luolian's late night visit?"
"Iron, you really like men!" Alorraine scolded angrily, "Disgusting, you are so disgusting!"
Yilon snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Alorian, if you want to be my wife, you have to accept my hobby, otherwise I won't have the slightest pity for you."
"Who needs your pity! I, Alorian, will never marry a shameless person like you." Alorian stomped her feet, turned around and walked away.
The tent immediately fell into silence.
"You did it on purpose." Qi Surong stared at him.
Iron leaned back on the animal skin chair, noncommittal.
"The play is over, can you let me go?"
"Don't let go." Yilun held her down again, and said with a deep smile, "Why don't you just be my woman tonight?"
Qi Surong didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly.
"Okay, I won't move you for now." Yilun let go of her, "But after the disturbance just now, you have to be careful, Alorraine is not a magnanimous person, and I'm afraid I will trouble you later. "
Qi Surong glanced at him and said, "Even if you don't want to marry Alorian, you don't have to risk your own reputation, do you?"
"I don't care about this, besides you are not a real man." Yilun swept over her with ambiguous eyes.
Qi Surong stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the tent.
The guards outside the tent cast strange glances at "him". Just now, Alorraine's voice was quite loud, and they heard it clearly...
The next day, the news about Yilun's liking for masculinity spread like wind throughout the entire tribe. Everyone had different opinions on it, some believed it, some doubted it, and some scoffed at it. The same thing is, Qi Surong has received several times more attention than before, as long as he goes out, he will definitely be pointed at.
Qi Surong is helpless, although the hopeless result of Qingying's marriage with Boya is gratifying, but it's not so wonderful to be named a "male favorite" for no reason.
For this reason, Jin Yun did not hesitate to take the risk of using Tu Te's name to enter Qi Surong's tent again, kissed her fiercely, and almost reached the last step.
"I can't bear it anymore." Jin Yun's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were angry.
"I'm sorry, I..." Qi Surong lowered her head, a look of shame flashed in her eyes.
"I don't blame you, it's because I'm not strong enough." Jin Yun hugged her and comforted her, "We will return home safely." Even though he said so, his heart was filled with anger. He secretly swore that when the matter was resolved, he would never let any man touch her with a finger again!
"Yeah." Qi Surong nodded vigorously.
The three-day deadline is coming soon, but Qi Surong is not in a hurry because Alorian suddenly fell ill.
This illness was not accidental, it was arranged by Qi Surong and Jin Yun in advance. Jin Yun has been with Tut for nearly two years. Apart from healing and detoxification, the biggest gain is that he has learned a lot of medical knowledge.
He secretly gave Qi Surong a pack of poison, letting her drop it on Datan or Alorian whenever she had the chance. This poison is colorless and tasteless, and it melts when it meets water, and the poisoned person will have symptoms of fever infection. When Qi Surong was racing horses with Alorian that day, he took the opportunity to put poison on her body. Because there was sweat on her skin, the poison quickly melted into the skin.
Although the poison was prepared by Tut, it is difficult to see any abnormalities in a short time unless the blood test is done deliberately. Its toxicity is not strong, but it is quite long-lasting, and it will not subside for about ten days and a half month, which is also in line with the general condition of fever.
With Alorian's illness, Yilun has no time to pay attention to Qi Surong for the time being. After all, Qingying is a big clan in the Western Regions, if something happened to the patriarch's daughter in Boya, the consequences would be disastrous.
The vigilance in the inner camp was strengthened. Although Yilun never suspected that someone was poisoning, he still took some precautions.
Qi Surong and Jin Yun's plan is more than half completed, the rest is how to leave Boya. But they also know that in the end, they need to be more cautious. They didn't dare to make any changes for the time being, and they didn't even meet privately anymore, they just quietly waited for the opportunity.
Soon, a perfect moment appeared.
Patriarch Datan was very dissatisfied with the repeated setbacks of the trip, and even looked at Elon disliked. He simply gave up the marriage and directly asked him for an alliance.
Of course Yilun would not refuse straight away, but only said to think about it for a few days.
Da Tan smiled on the surface, but secretly sent a message, so that several allies sent people to put pressure.
Iron was very annoyed at their threats. After several quarrels, Da Tan left Boya with his daughter and a group of people. Three days later, an army of 3,000 men was stationed three miles away from the Boya side camp.
The battle between the two sides is imminent. Qing Ying has no intention of fighting Bo Ya. After all, Bo Ya's strength cannot be underestimated, and the main purpose of sending troops is to demonstrate and intimidate. But the title of "War Wolf" in Yilun's later generations was not for nothing. The warriors of the Boya tribe have never been afraid of death, let alone accept the coercion of others.
On the second day after Qingying's army was stationed, Yilun led four or five hundred warriors to attack the opponent's camp at night. With hundreds of people, three thousand soldiers and horses were beaten and fled.
A flame of war that would affect the structure of future generations was ignited, and the opportunity for Qi Surong and Jin Yun to escape also appeared.
