I Conquer the World For My Duke - C1
BOOM — —
Miserable screams could be heard incessantly as some students fled from the laboratory in a sorry state.
A chemical experiment caused an explosion due to the misoperation of several students.
Coincidentally, it affected the Chemical Department genius, Ye Qin.
A scorching heat wave that seemed to destroy the heavens and earth assaulted his face. A vaguely nauseating burnt smell lingered at the tip of his nose. Ye Qin’s entire body was in unbearable pain.
Not long after, the pain gradually dissipated, and what replaced it were limbs and bones that were in extreme pain.
“You’re awake!”
Ye Qin was woken up by the crisp sound of this pleasant surprise.
Opening his eyes slightly, he saw a light gray bed curtain. A pair of beautiful, lake-like eyes from a warm yellow room pounced on him.
“I’ve been asleep for three days and haven’t eaten any rice. I’ve cooked some rice porridge, do you want to get up and have some?” The owner of those eyes gently caressed her arm, and the words had already checked her pulse.
It must be because her body was fine and the tone was a bit relaxed.
Where is this?
Am I dead?
In a moment, a large amount of foreign memories flooded into his mind like a flood.
So the original owner of this body was a fifteen year old girl named Bai Zheng.
His grandfather was the famous old general Bai Qiying, and his father was the unfavoured second young master Bai Yinan who was addicted to literature and martial arts.
In this country that was rich in martial arts, Bai Yinan’s room could be said to be the laughingstock of the capital’s Yongding City.
Bai Zheng was definitely going to be married to the second young master of the Mansion of Prime Minister, but he had actually taken a liking to her second cousin, Bai Di.
The pitiful and infatuated Bai Zheng was bullied by the two of them at the banquet the other day. She couldn’t endure the humiliation and returned home alone in the middle of the night.
Bai Zheng held onto this soft hand and smiled as she met the somewhat puzzled gaze of the other party, “I am unable to repay you for saving my life. “Thank you very much.”
The other party also laughed, “I was just helping to take care of you for a few days. The young lady’s life was saved by my family’s master. This cliff has taken the lives of countless people. For this lady to be able to survive after such a great catastrophe, I believe you must be blessed. ”
In fact, Bai Zheng had a vague impression of the night she was saved.
In the instant before his life was gone, he was vaguely surrounded by a embrace that carried a light medicinal fragrance mixed with the smell of grass.
While she was lost in her thoughts, a bowl of warm water was passed in front of her, “Miss will rest for a few more days, then she can return home. Thinking about it, my family must be worried about my sudden disappearance.”
Bai Zheng nodded.
His parents and two younger brothers must have been extremely worried after this accident. How could his family, which were already in dire straits, afford to have their daughter’s whereabouts unknown?
Even though he was unwilling to return and face that mess, he had to shoulder the responsibilities that originally belonged to Bai Zheng since he had been reborn in Bai Zheng’s name.
It wasn’t appropriate for him to return just like that.
With that in mind, Bai Zheng straightened her body and solemnly nodded: “I still have a request. If your master is willing to help, I am willing to give you three thousand silver as a reward. ”
The other party had clearly been shocked by her generosity.
When Master saved her, he had already sent people to investigate her background. She was just a rank 3 assistant minister’s daughter, and the Assistant Minister Bai’s yearly tribute was only a mere three thousand silvers.
Bai Zheng felt very bitter in her heart. Three thousand silver was an astronomical number compared to her!
However, looking at this maid’s concealed appearance, the ‘master’ behind her was definitely not an ordinary family. If she wanted to ask for his help, she wouldn’t be able to get her meager compensation.
Although he couldn’t repay the favor of saving his life, he didn’t need to owe someone a favor if he could solve the problem with money.
“…”
The wind outside was biting cold, and the glowing red charcoal in the room gave off a scorching heat. The firelight reflected off the wall was as warm as spring.
A handsome man dressed in red brocade clothes frowned slightly. There was a white chess piece between his sharp fingers.
After hearing the report, he dropped the chess piece with a “pa” sound and smiled: “Buy a cake? Three thousand taels? Linyuan, you really saved a ‘miss Qian Jin’. ”
The man who was called “Linyuan” put down the chestnut in his hand, lifted his eyes, and looked at the chess game, and then dropped it.
The red clothed man looked carefully and instantly cried out, “Feng Linyuan! Can’t you be a little more polite! ”
Feng Linyuan smiled faintly, revealing an exquisite face that looked as if it was blessed with god’s work. With hair as sharp as a blade, eyebrows as black as ink, he moved his nose, causing people to realize that half of his face was covered by the black mask, adding a touch of cold Qi.
“Miss Bai is actually so generous? Looks like the two hundred thousand silver taels lost here is related to the Assistant Minister Bai. ”
That face clearly carried a gentle aura, but the gaze in that face made people feel a chill for no reason.
“Qingzhi, tell that Miss Bai that I agree.”
Feng Linyuan said as he fed the peeled chestnut to a snow-white wolf by the side. The wolf seemed to understand its master’s words, he bared his teeth at the servant called Qingzhi and swallowed the chestnut.
Qingzhi trembled. This Miss Bai … I’m afraid it’s over.
