Chapter 21 Li Chao Women
The two men that Xue Yu killed were the Khitans who were in the same group as Xiao Qiyue among the upper-class passengers.

Although it was a bit of a mistake, but this time Xue Yu did help Shen Qingling, Shen Qingling didn't bother to care about the fact that he had taken the map from her earlier, and asked Liu Xiuwen from downstairs to come and diagnose his pulse.

Liu Xiuwen came and left quickly.

Because even though Xue Yu's body was covered in blood and he didn't suffer any injuries, the drowsiness is just a lack of strength. It's not a serious problem, and there is no need to prescribe medicine, just let him rest for a night.

"Second lady, this servant is here to take care of you, you can go and do what you want to do." Yingxiu was well-behaved and sensible, she could tell Shen Qingling hesitated at a glance, "If this person wakes up, this servant will notify you immediately."

Shen Qingling nodded, got up and left the room.

Xiao Qiyue was tied up in her cabin at this time, her hands and feet were tied with double hemp rope knots, her mouth was also stuffed with rags, she looked very embarrassed.

When Shen Qingling pushed the door and walked in, there was a flash of surprise on Xiao Qiyue's face.

"Didn't expect it to be a woman?" Shen Qingling raised her eyebrows and asked, then walked slowly to the opposite of Xiao Qiyue, pulled up a chair and sat opposite her, "Or, I didn't expect it to be a woman like me."

In her previous life, Shen Qingling once had a direct confrontation with Xiao Qiyue.

At that time, Xiao Qiyue also showed surprise. Mostly in her impression, Li Chao's women were women with small feet who hid on high pavilions, and they had to be supported when they walked a few steps.

"Forget, you can't speak." Shen Qingling leaned forward and tore off the rag from Xiao Qiyue's mouth.

There were constant footsteps in the corridor outside, presumably those boatmen were following Shen Qingling's orders in an orderly manner, and such sounds would intensify Xiao Qiyue's inner panic.

Shen Qingling could see this point from Xiao Qiyue's occasionally flickering eyes.

After a long silence, Xiao Qiyue finally spoke, but she was a bit anticlimactic, and she forced a rebellious look on her face, "What do you want to do by arresting me?"

Shen Qingling was not in a hurry, she leaned on the wide chair with a lazy expression and a slow tone: "No reason, Li Chaoren arrested a Khitan man on his own land, do you still need to ask why?"

After saying a word, the room fell into dead silence again.

As if to come here specially to consume Xiao Qiyue's patience, Shen Qingling not only stopped asking questions, but even took out a small and exquisite silver incense ball from the armband to play with.

Shen Qingling bought this thing when she was in Luguan Town. At that time, she took Yingxiu for a stroll and bought a lot of spices and rare items. They were all good things that could only be seen in Bianjing area. Can't buy it.

The silver incense ball in front of me is quite exquisite in workmanship.

The outer layer is hollowed out, and the silver ball is opened when the hidden buttons on both sides are pressed, and incense pills or other private objects can be placed in it.If this thing was in the past, Shen Qingling would not even bother to look at it, but now that she has lived a new life, she has picked up some hobbies.

For example, making incense.

Making incense can cultivate one's self-cultivation and help one's thinking. Before Shen Qingling entered the Lord's Palace of Fuyi, she liked making incense very much. When she smelled the tangy fragrance, it seemed that all the worries disappeared.

It's a pity that all the affairs were complicated later on. She just wanted to take time to make and taste incense, but she didn't have the energy.

Following Shen Qingling's movements, the silver incense ball bounced away with a click, and a dark red incense ball was twirled inside, and the room began to be filled with a strong fragrance of flowers.

Xiao Qiyue was cautious, and immediately held his breath.

Unexpectedly, after the strong fragrance of flowers, a particularly refreshing scent of cold grass spread out, causing Xiao Qiyue's eyes to widen suddenly, and his whole body stretched into a bow.

It is the breath of the prairie in the north.

From the nose to the brain, it immediately refreshes the mind.

"Do you think this will make me speak?" Xiao Qiyue asked forcefully.

Shen Qingling relaxed, shrugged, and said: "Didn't you speak up now? Besides, I have already dealt with all your subordinates, so what kind of trouble can you cause by yourself?"

While speaking, Shen Qingling flicked the incense pill on her fingertips, letting the fragrance drift away.

The silent confrontation continued until a third person entered the room.

It was Shao Cong who came in. He held a bloody head in one hand, and when he opened the door, there was a trail of blood behind him.And when he entered the room, he shook his hands very simply, and threw the two heads at Xiao Qiyue's feet.

Xiao Qiyue killed countless people and set fires, so of course she wouldn't be easily frightened by these, so she just raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, do you want to make me succumb to this? You don't have to, you can kill me, but don't think about it I get any news out of my mouth."

"Yes, I know." Shen Qingling nodded in agreement, "General Xiao is usually murderous, and he is merciless towards his own subordinates, how could he be frightened by these mere two heads?"

Hearing this, Shao looked sideways at Shen Qingling.

He was surprised.

Not only because of Shen Qingling's ability to predict things like a god, but also because she is used to blood and blood.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qiyue squinted at Shen Qingling.

The word "general" is enough for Xiao Qiyue to reveal his flaws, and this is what Shen Qingling wants.

Seeing this, she spread her hands and threw the silver incense ball to Shao Cong, then got up and approached Xiao Qiyue, and said slowly: "What I mean is that General Xiao came to the Central Plains from Khitan for thousands of miles, and it must not only be for the sake of those few Food, right? It’s only a few dozen shi, and it’s worthless labor, aren’t you great?”

"It's just that, since General Xiao found out that the people under his command were guarding and stealing himself, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with him."

"Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you, General Xiao. The warehouse under this ship has been inspected by the government. If there is anything important in it, I think the government should be able to find out."

But in a few words, Xiao Qiyue's expression changed.

In fact, aside from Xiao Qiyue's cruel actions, his own methods and military capabilities should not be underestimated.So from the very beginning, Shen Qingling never thought that she could easily dig out anything from Xiao Qiyue's mouth, and what she did afterwards was only to divide and disintegrate Xiao Qiyue's defenses.

The familiar smell, the seemingly weak but unfathomable opponent, the identity details that have been stripped away, these little things accumulate, and finally become the key to tearing off Xiao Qiyue's shield-like shell.

Shen Qingling doesn't even need Xiao Qiyue to collapse, she just needs her to show a little wavering.

"Sure enough, there's something underneath..." Shen Qingling put his hands on Xiao Qiyue's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "General Xiao, in fact, from the beginning to the end, you only miscalculated one thing."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qiyue was really hooked.

"You miscalculated the consequences of killing people casually here." Shen Qingling's hand was on Xiao Qiyue's neck, which was so cold that Xiao Qiyue shivered uncontrollably.
