Chapter 1200 Fate
The woman sat on the bed again, and the white gauze had been removed, revealing the complicated furnishings and furniture inside. The fence windows were carved with cranes delivering their children.
"Huanxisha" says that "a mirror box opens to the moonlit sky." Ancient women always had a mirror box that reflected the moonlit sky outside the window, and used candlelight to put on their makeup at the dressing table to show off their beauty.
There is actually a complete dressing table stuffed into this bed. It is made of beech wood and was hand-carved during the Qing Dynasty. It is suitable for bed-ridden women to dress up to the core of their laziness. They can also carelessly dress while lying on their sides. Mirror decal yellow.
But today's woman has no intention of putting on makeup. Ever since Caesar told her about the events involving the orthodox "month" in recent times (from about the "Kuimen Project" to the "Hearing"), her original laziness and laziness have disappeared. Disappeared.
That kind of temperament transformation is quite obvious from Caesar's perspective. If I have to use an example to describe it, it's like a drunkard who can't understand logic and talks nonsense. He suddenly becomes silent and then talks to you fluently and rationally. . After such a scene happens, you won't be surprised by what happened to this drunkard and suddenly sober up. Instead, you will immediately wonder whether all her previous drunkenness was a deliberate disguise.
The woman sat on the bed, with her hands on her left and right sides, her body slightly raised, and she did not speak. She just looked ahead quite quietly. Her eyes had no exact focus. It was obvious that she was quickly going over all the information Caesar revealed. Screen out which ones are lies and which ones are the truth.
From time to time, those molten red eyes would pass by Caesar, who was standing in the wing looking at this antique house decoration. From time to time, he would touch this Tang Sancai female sitting figurine, knock on the large blue and white nine-dragon pattern vat, and then carry it on his back. Turn around twice to admire the carved lacquered treasure-inlaid screen.
There is a sense of joy in suffering in it.
He must find something to do for himself during this inevitable period of silence. An excellent Italian gentleman and lady are in the same space. Even if there is no topic between them, a qualified gentleman cannot show the slightest embarrassment at a loss as long as he is not embarrassed. , then the person who is embarrassed is naturally the beautiful lady, who attracts the other party to take the initiative to talk, so that she can have the natural upper hand in the subsequent chat (playing with mobile phones is not a way to alleviate embarrassment, or this kind of behavior is the worst).
There is no other place to sit in this room except the bed. It is obvious that this wing is not prepared to receive guests.
We can't let Caesar sit on that bed together. Although the bed is big enough to move all the stuff from dormitory 616 up there, it's still a beautiful woman's boudoir bed. To destroy someone's innocence, in ancient times one would have to be impregnated in a pig cage - or the woman would be impregnated.
Furthermore, even if Caesar was big enough to ask the other party if he could sit down for a while, his blazing red eyes would have already answered him for him - those eyes were very much like that of Nono on the day of freedom. Lin Nian's sister was killed with one shot. Lin Nian looked back at the tower.
Suddenly I had a toothache.
"So, I just mentioned."
Caesar was about to start chatting again. When he wasted no time, the woman on the bed immediately raised her index finger. The meaning was very simple, just to shut up Caesar.
Caesar tilted his head and did not continue. He watched the woman pick up the bag of hookah again, put it to her mouth several times in a state of indifferent contemplation, and then put it down suddenly. The Babu bed was thrown out of the window, hit the wall, and fell into the big vat with the blue and white nine-dragon pattern.
She didn't know whether to say she felt sorry for the big tank or the hookah, so the woman opened the dressing cabinet and pulled out a tobacco bag made of Hetian jade. It was quite slender and made of enough material. It was green like blood rouge. She was so red that she stuffed the tobacco into the pouch rather roughly, not caring about the "tighten up and loosen down" filling method. She was now so irritated that she needed to use some conventional means to relieve the pressure.
Caesar noticed that the woman's hand that was stuffing the tobacco was trembling, not because of nervousness, but because of the spontaneous condition of her body, like the shaking of her hands and feet after strenuous exercise - but where had the woman exercised while lying on the bed? In other words, just getting out of bed and walking a few steps, you can't make the other person so tired just like this.
The woman stuffed the tobacco but couldn't find the fire. The bed was very big and the things were very messy. After the white curtain was lifted, Caesar also saw that the bed was actually a bit messy. Many inexplicable things were rolled up in silk and satin. In the corner folds, there are things like hair buns, horn bones, eyeliner and so on. You can even see unfinished potato chip bags sealed with clips and a missing Bluetooth headset.
Life is quite irregular.
Caesar said he was not surprised. Nono's room was sometimes messier than this. He had seen many women's boudoirs, and this one ranked last among those rooms in terms of messiness, so it was considered tidy.
With a "beep" sound, the open flame lit up in the wing room. The woman raised her eyes and glanced at the lit windproof lighter that came close to her. Caesar's face, which looked very unpleasant before, was probably still just as unpleasant, but this and It doesn't matter if she's willing to lend a hand.
While puffing lightly, the pipe stirred up smoke, but Caesar discovered that the smoke was not white, but a rather strange red color. When borrowing the fire, he got closer and inevitably inhaled a small amount. The pungent smell that entered the nasal cavity was like dragon's breath pepper and yellow mustard powder exploding in the sensory system. This metaphor can only reflect less than one-tenth of the pain that Caesar felt.
Caesar sneezed three times in a row, took several steps back, raised his hands to cover half of his face, and didn't care whether the snot from his nose would stain his sleeves. He started coughing violently until his entire eyes were red, and his golden pupils were The skin was covered with bloodshot eyes, and the skin color of the white man's face was obviously congested and red.
poison?
This was the first reaction that popped up in Caesar's mind. He never tires of deception. All the words and emotional changes of this woman before were just foreshadowing, until it developed into the trap of borrowing fire, and he took advantage of the gentlemanly demeanor that an Italian can never give up. Thus poisoning is carried out by burning tobacco.
"Do you feel like you have a rapid heartbeat, tinnitus, a feeling of partial tearing in your chest, and swollen skin all over your body?" Caesar heard the woman say on the bed, "Next time, a good boy who has not contracted bad habits will give you some food." Remember to hold your breath when smoking, otherwise you will suffer."
She said, "What you are feeling now is not a poisoning reaction, but a simple chemical irritation dragon's blood overload reaction. If you feel these symptoms on your body carefully, you will find that your senses are actually more sensitive and your body strength is also affected." With a certain proportion of strengthening, the brain's thinking will be more focused and faster than usual. It's like entering a state of bloodline refinement."
After being mentioned like this by the woman, Caesar gradually came to his senses. These adverse symptoms on his body seemed to be similar to the negative effects he felt when he experimented with violent blood for the first time. This made him calm down a lot, and he quickly recovered. I began to get rid of the irritating discomfort and regained control of my senses.
He saw the woman inhaling the strange blood-red smoke, and looked at the pair of scorching golden eyes that seemed to be slightly red due to the smoke. He finally understood that for this woman, smoking hookah should be regarded as chewing gum during the period of quitting smoking. At the extreme end, it could be a thin wooden stick held in the mouth. Going back to the past ten years or so, women swallowed and swallowed these life-threatening things every day.
"If you're not used to it, stay away. Generally, hybrids will have adverse reactions if they inhale too much, such as losing control of their bloodline and turning into a deadpool or something." The woman smoked her pipe and bit into the blood-colored smoke snakes, and glanced at them indifferently. Caesar retreated some distance.
"What on earth were you before?" Caesar almost subconsciously asked this question to the woman in the blood-red smoke.
What could a woman be before? She was a human being, and she was a mixed race. More than ten years ago, she was naturally a human being, and a mixed race. She had never changed. The only thing that had changed was her "identity."
"So you young people are really interesting. You are ambitious and full of ambitions. Your shoulders are filled with the hopes and blessings placed by your predecessors. You want to repay enthusiastically, but in the end you are struggling, unable to see clearly about yourself and the future. Road." The woman tapped the jade tobacco pouch lightly with her finger, and the bottom of the pouch gently touched the railing of the bed. "You know that I am 'Mu Yue', so naturally you also know that after being named 'Yue', Forgetting the old name of the past, from now on, I will use the name of 'moon' to shine silently in the long night, and my name is naturally."
"The orthodox Li Muyue?" Caesar said softly.
"The former, orthodox Li Muyue." She said, "Why don't you guess a few other surnames?"
"Who is Li Huoyue to you? You are both members of the orthodox Li family, so you cannot be related to each other." Caesar did not answer the other party's slightly cold and mocking words, and went straight to ask for an answer.
The woman was silent for a long time when facing this question. She took a few deep breaths of the blood-red smoke. The skin all over her body was covered in red smoke but did not change at all. You must know that Caesar almost died after being stained with just a little bit of blood smoke. She has become a little celebrity. It can be seen that although the woman does not seem to have much fighting power, her bloodline is not false at all.
Maybe it was because she had smoked too much of the unknown tobacco. The woman who had not been exposed to this kind of tiger and wolf medicine for a long time was also emotionally unstable. The dragon's blood in her blood vessels was like stagnant but slightly turbulent water, with the gurgling sound of washing away. With the past gone, she moved the jade pipe tip away from her lips and looked at Caesar.
Women all have the desire to talk, or in other words, people all have the desire to talk, and women are the worst among them. They are emotional creatures, and they are born with secrets that are sour and bitter in their stomachs. The sweet taste will make them They are beaming with joy, and sour and bitter things will naturally make them vomit, which is why women are so cute.
Caesar knew that as long as he said a few more words, added a few excuses, and gave this mysterious and heavy woman a chance to vent, the other party would be able to naturally tell the answers he wanted. Although this was despicable, he was forced to In the current situation, Caesar chose to be that despicable man, "The past has long since passed. I can't even talk about it. Does it mean that you are still the 'Mu Yue' before and have never come out?"
"You can shut up." The woman touched the pipe gently, "I said that aggressive tactics are useless to me."
"She can't be your half-sister. According to the golden age of a mixed race, when you become Mu Yue, you are most likely much older than Li Huoyue, so you should be the older sister. , she should be the younger sister."
The woman looked sideways at Caesar as if she were looking at a fool.
Caesar's speculation did not stop, but continued to speculate, "If it's not from the same father, then it should be from the same mother? Although the sperm provider accounts for a large proportion of the genetic information in blood inheritance, the current mixed-race academic community also It is believed that the genetic information of the father's generation determines the quality of the offspring's bloodline, but the stability of the mother's and fetus's bloodline also plays a large part in the importance of the fetus. The 'Yue' plan itself is to strengthen the bloodline. I am afraid that the quality of the bloodline is not enough to determine whether a person is good or bad. Suitable to be a 'moon', stability is the quality that is really valued."
The woman frowned.
Although Caesar was still making random guesses, the latter part of what he said about the genetic advantages of father and mother on the quality of descendants was actually quite correct. When you think about it carefully, it seems not surprising. The patriarch of the Gattuso family is The European mixed-breed stallions are well-known. Regarding the birth of outstanding offspring, the research there is no worse than the orthodox side.
"Watch your mouth, unless you no longer want the blueprint of Project Moon, Mr. Gattuso was born with the excellent genes of his father's generation." The woman said lightly.
Caesar was not angry, because the woman was just stating the facts. A large part of his bloodline was inherited from Pompeii Gattuso, as evidenced by his sea-blue eyes and golden hair. He could deny that Pompeii Gattuso Gattuso is his sociological father, but he cannot deny that the same dragon blood flowing in his veins as that stallion is coveted by countless proud and noble mixed-race baronesses and daughters.
"You are very concerned about Li Hueyue. When I mentioned Li Hueyue, it is not an exaggeration to describe you as a mess. Just a name can break the mysterious and noble veil you created in front of me from the beginning. . You and Li Hueyue must be quite close, even blood-related."
After Caesar finished his long speech, he found that the woman looked at him in a strange way, indescribably weird.
"So what? This has nothing to do with you." The woman stared at the golden eyes with slightly faded bloodshot eyes. "Our deal has just been finalized. You help me save a person, and I will give you the blueprint. One hand will hand over the person and the other will hand over to you." We don’t owe each other anything, and I don’t need your blueprint for the Nibelungen plan.”
"The more I know, the safer my future actions will be. If I want to save someone, I must know who I am saving." Caesar said calmly, "The simpler the conditions, the more hidden they are." The more dangerous the trap is, even the 'young people' you call know this truth. Just saving one person can change the secret of the 'Yue' plan? Nothing in the world is that simple, or the importance of this person It is equal to the 'month' plan, or this person is far above everything else in the mind of the person who made the request."
"You are afraid of failure." The woman said coldly, "If you are afraid, you can refuse."
"If I refuse, then who can help you rescue that person? Miss Li Muyue." Caesar looked at the deadly woman on the bed with a jade pipe in her hand.
The woman stared at Caesar and suddenly let out a sneer.
It's like mocking Caesar, but also mocking himself.
Maybe both.
Caesar Gattuso is not an idiot, and women are not idiots. The woman always led the conversation from the beginning, and Caesar was always at a disadvantage. But when Caesar figured out the woman's demands and saw clearly the woman's possible bottom line, the form of the negotiation gradually reversed.
At the poker table, never let your enemy know where your bottom line is. Once your bottom line is figured out, you will be at a natural disadvantage every time you make a bet.
Li Muyue, this woman cares about Li Huoyue very much. According to Caesar's statement about Li Hueyue's nearby situation and the woman's reaction, Li Huoyue should have been in trouble secretly. This trouble comes from orthodoxy itself. Also comes from that troublesome 'month' system.
Caesar didn't know how much trouble Li Huoyue had gotten into and what his current situation was, but judging from Li Muyue's inadvertent attitude, I'm afraid Li Huoyue was now in a critical situation.
The condition for Li Muyue's agreement to Caesar to hand over the blueprint was to save an unknown person. From the hands of Zhengtong, this person must be the key figure to save Li Xueyue from fire and water. The difficulty and danger involved, Caesar could not Dare to underestimate even half a point.
This is why he has been testing the relationship between Li Hueyue and women. Being in an intelligence blind spot, he must grasp all the threads and sort out all the mysteries in order to increase his success rate and survival rate in this transaction. .
China is not Europe, and orthodoxy is not a secret party. In this place, even Caesar Gattuso may die because of some dark secrets - after all, Pompeii Gattuso is still active in the world , if Caesar, the heir, dies unexpectedly, there will always be a better heir. The Gattuso family will be angry, but they will not lose their minds.
Caesar's death was very likely to happen, as long as he stepped into a bottomless pit. And now he was actively pacing and spinning in front of that dark pothole, with the thin line between life and death only a matter of thought.
The woman saw Caesar's persistence. She was no duller than anyone else and easily understood everything the other party was thinking about. When she thought about it from his perspective and realized that Caesar might give up on the deal because she didn't disclose some information, She just breathed out a breath of blood-colored smoke snake in the long silence, like a silent sigh.
"What happened in the past, in the final analysis, was just a man who didn't respect his destiny, fell in love with a dangerous woman regardless of life and death, and did not hesitate to abandon his wife who loved him deeply to fall in love with that woman." Li Muyue said, "They experienced everything that love requires, to love each other, to intimidate others, to betray everything, and finally gave birth to a child, and then they feared, escaped, and broke away from the fate that was the shackles of their birth."
"But fate will always catch up with those who are restless, approach them quietly from behind, pierce their spines, and make them kneel down, crying and performing meaningless atonement, towards the deep love they once abandoned. People make self-righteous compensations and pay with their lives for wrong decisions." Li Huanyue said, "It's meaningless and so ridiculous."
"The 'Yue' of the previous generation is your biological mother?"
In the bloody setting sun, on the terrace of the courtyard.
Li Huoyue sat at the table, holding the railing with her left hand, looking at the elongated shadow of the costume supported by the wooden poles on the stage, nodded and admitted to Lin Nian who was beside him, who looked surprised, "Yes, Mu Yue is my mother .My mother is the 'Mu Yue' of the previous generation, and I am the 'Horse Moon' of the next generation who will inherit her. Even though we have never met."
