Jeune Premier ministre, un ermite

Chapitre 60

"Ah, okay, okay." Wei Zijun hurriedly responded, turning her back to the other side of the couch. The two were back to back, separated by a low table, still keeping the distance as large as possible. Wei Zijun almost accidentally rolled off the couch.

The two of them tossed and turned in thought, remaining silent. They were both quite tired from the commotion just now, and after a while of random thoughts, they both fell asleep.

[Volume 1, Deer City Chapter: Chapter 53 The Robbery]

In the early morning in the suburbs, hundreds of birds sing in unison, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting long shadows of ginkgo trees along the roadside onto the ground.

Several burly men on horseback, leading a carriage, sped along the official road under the shade of trees, raising a cloud of dust.

Wei Zijun felt a sharp pain in her wrist and woke up. She reached out with her eyes closed, only to find it was a straw. But why was her other hand also raised? When her gaze fell on the rope binding her wrists, she almost screamed – both her wrists were tied together!

What's going on? Who kidnapped her? The jolting of the carriage and the clatter of horses' hooves alerted her. She looked around and noticed a pair of bright eyes beside her.

"Zijun, you're awake?" Li Tianqi rarely smiled. Looking at her dazed expression as she raised her hands, his displeasure at being tied up vanished.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Wei Zijun asked the source of the voice, her mind still tangled and unable to process what was happening.

"We've been robbed." Having weathered countless dangers, his tone remained calm and composed.

"Ah! Was it made by Yichunlou?" They dare to use aphrodisiacs; they must be the ones who did such a thing.

"It shouldn't be. The robbers even said not to let the people inside see them."

"Were you awake at the time?" Wei Zijun was very surprised. If she was awake, why was she taken hostage?

"Yes, you slept like a little pig yesterday, but I wasn't sleepy at all. I just closed my eyes and dozed off for a while. Then I smelled a strange fragrance and recognized it as a sleeping potion, so I held my breath. But I still inhaled a little bit. I didn't expect the potency to be so strong. When someone came in through the window, I found that I had lost all my powers and had passed out."

Yesterday? So a day has passed. Wei Zijun looked at the rope on her wrist and then at Li Tianqi. "Second brother, let me untie the rope for you first."

“It can’t be untied. This kind of knot is a foreign knotting method. I’ve been pondering it for half a day, and the end of the rope is in their hands.” Li Tianqi shook the long rope attached to his wrist.

Wei Zijun then noticed that two ropes were attached to her wrists, extending long out of the carriage window, indicating that the ends of the ropes were in the hands of the bandits. This method of restraint made her feel like a bound animal. She tried to use her internal energy again, only to find it completely gone, and a wave of bitterness washed over her.

Fortunately, these bandits still had some conscience; they didn't stuff them into large sacks, and instead lined the carriage with thick layers of straw, making the bumpy ride bearable.

Where are they being taken?

The carriage seemed to have left the main road and entered a bumpy side road. The carriage tilted suddenly, and Wei Zijun suddenly rolled down from the side that was raised, crashing into Li Tianqi. Her face was also pressed against his face due to inertia, and her lips just touched his cheek.

Wei Zijun was extremely embarrassed. She quickly averted her gaze and immediately pretended that nothing had happened, turning her head to look at the ceiling of the carriage.

However, Li Tianqi could not pretend that nothing had happened. He savored the petal-like touch on his cheek, his heart pounding uncontrollably, his mind filled with the image of kissing her yesterday: her smooth and warm face, her soft and red lips, and the soft touch of her eyelashes and the tip of her nose.

Alas! It's all my fault. I insisted on drinking the wine from the brothel, which led me to take liberties with my fourth brother and let him see my private parts. Now, even the slightest touch from him arouses his lustful thoughts.

I remember saying I'd seal his lips with mine, and I never thought it would actually happen...

Block it! Block it! So that's how it is, that feeling, ah!

The carriage continued to tilt, and Wei Zijun tried to turn around but couldn't. After staring at the carriage ceiling for too long, her neck ached as if it were about to break. The pain was unbearable, and she didn't want to face him, so she had no choice but to bury her face in the straw.

"Zijun, lift your head, be careful not to scratch your face with the straw." Li Tianqi said with heartache. Such a smooth and tender face, it would be torn if scratched by the straw. How could he not feel heartache?

"Oh!" Wei Zijun had no choice but to answer as she raised her head, and her eyebrows, eyes, lips, and nose came into view.

Gazing at those red lips and inhaling their orchid-like breath, he couldn't help but recall the sweet fragrance emanating from their mouths. Those red lips, he could capture them with just a gentle touch.

Unconsciously, he leaned his face forward slightly, his heavy breathing becoming increasingly labored.

Wei Zijun stared at the dazed face that was leaning towards her and whispered, "Second Brother!?"

The shout woke Li Tianqi, who stood there awkwardly. What was he doing? He had already taken liberties with his fourth brother yesterday, but thankfully he hadn't held it against him. Why was he going to do something so shameful again today? How was he going to explain this to his fourth brother?

"Ah, Ziju, there's a straw on your face, let your second brother blow it off for you." Li Tianqi puffed out his cheeks and blew on Wei Ziju's face.

The morning air was already chilly, and neither of them had a blanket. Wei Zijun, who was already cold, felt the cold wind blowing on him, and his eyes became dry. But he still showed no sign of stopping, so Wei Zijun became a little impatient and said, "Alright, Second Brother, stop blowing."

Li Tianqi smiled mockingly, turned back, and the two fell silent. Having lost all their powers, they had no way to escape and could only stare blankly at the carriage ceiling.

The carriage stopped in a noisy area, and someone opened the carriage door and got on.

A burly man dressed in black came in and began to untie the ropes binding Wei Zijun's hands. At the same time, he threatened and instructed, "Let you down to eat. You'd better behave yourselves. If you cause trouble, none of you will leave alive."

"Brave warrior, we have no grudge against each other, why are you taking us hostage?" Wei Zijun took this opportunity to ask for an explanation.

"Why ask so many questions! You'll understand when the time comes. Anyway, I'm not trying to harm you, so behave yourself and don't go looking for trouble!" The burly man impatiently threw down the rope and dragged the two of them off the vehicle.

The moment the two got out of the car, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The sounds of people setting up stalls on the street, walking by, eating, and drinking tea filled the air.

Indeed, in this desolate village, when have we ever seen such extraordinary figures? It makes one wonder if two fairies have descended to earth.

Several farm girls pointed at them and giggled from time to time. Wei Zijun nodded and smiled at them as a sign of politeness, and the girls immediately started scrambling together.

He smiled at me!

"Who said he was smiling at me!"

Seeing this, Li Tianqi felt inexplicably annoyed. At a time like this, she was still thinking about lingering among the flowers. In a fit of displeasure, he grabbed Wei Zijun's wrist and rushed into the restaurant.

Because of the excessive force, Wei Zijun grimaced in pain. Li Tianqi lifted her sleeve, revealing that her wrist was covered with slightly swollen red marks.

A vague pain slid through his heart, and he could no longer hold back, letting out a cold shout: "Look what you've done!"
