The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 45 Burning the Warehouse
As soon as she turned around, her quiet eyes narrowed, and on the couch where she was sitting before, there was a white and elegant figure, with long jet black hair untied and loose.At this moment, he is holding the book that he threw away before, flipping through it in his hand, as if reading it with great interest.

This man broke into her room two or three times in the middle of the night, making Chu Qing, who had slightly changed her opinion of him, angry. Fragrant Stealing Jade."

Shui Qianliu closed the book, threw it aside, raised his head, and the heroic and resolute figure in the overpowering country was exposed to the candlelight. Instead, he reclined on the couch, as if he was still at home: "Even if it's stealing incense and jade, I'm afraid it will take two or three years."

Chu Qing frowned, a trace of anger ignited in her eyes.This man actually despised her for being young? !Yes, she is only 15 years old now, her body has not fully opened, and her face is still childish, but she is also a great beauty, even when she looks in the mirror, she will be amazed by herself from time to time.But, this man actually dislikes her?
wrong!How can I think so?Chu Qing shook his head violently in his heart, threw out his messy thoughts just now, and returned to his mind rationally: "The Mr. Shui visited late at night, don't tell Chu Qing, it's because you were tired from flying around, and it happened that After passing by here, I saw that this place looked familiar, so I settled down to have a rest."

Shui Qianliu's perfect lips hooked up slightly, as if Chu Qing's words pleased him, causing an inexplicable gleam in his eyes: "Half and half."

Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Then I would like to ask Mr. Shui to give me some advice." The last four words, it can be said that Chu Qing said it through grinding his teeth.

Seeing the undisguised disgust on her face, Shui Qianliu couldn't help raising his hand to touch his face, and said with some doubts: "I said, at least I saved you before, why every time you see me, you always Put on a straight face, as if I owe you tens of millions of gold?"

Chu Qing sneered: "Isn't Mr. Shui indebted to Chu Qing?" The grievances and resentments between the two of them are difficult to calculate.According to what Chu Qing asked before, after Shui Qianliu apologized, he still owed her three conditions.However, she was plotted by Hu Furong, and she seemed to be inseparable from Shui Qianliu. In this way, it seemed even more unclear who owed whom, who saved whom, and who was implicated by whom.

It's just that it's rare for Chu Qing to settle accounts with him one by one at this moment, anyway, she was Shui Qianliu's creditor when she didn't get all the money.

Shui Qianliu curled his lips, he was not as arrogant as before when he met Chu Qing.However, she was a little more unrestrained, and seemed to reveal her interest in Chu Qing in every gesture.

"I have nothing to do tonight. While enjoying the cool air, I accidentally saw something. I wonder if Miss Chu is interested?"

Chu Qing narrowed her eyes, she knew that Shui Qianliu would not appear here for no reason.Judging from his words now, I am afraid that the 'some things' he saw are related to the Chu family.With a thought in her mind, she put on an amiable smile: "Master Shui might as well say it, let Chu Qing know a thing or two, and have fun with you."

Shui Qianliu's mouth twitched at this book-turning face-changing, and he smiled maliciously: "I'm afraid Miss Chu won't be able to laugh anymore after hearing about it."

"Please tell Mr. Shui." The smile on Chu Qing's face did not change, but he became vigilant in his heart.

Murder night on a dark and windy night...

Of course, apart from killing people, the late night without the moon is always suitable for doing other things.

A black shadow surreptitiously climbed over the high wall and walked forward in the dark with its body hooked.Judging by the neatness of his hands and feet, it is not the first time he has done some shady things at night.

I saw him in the Chu family's courtyard, turning left and right, and after a while, he came to the warehouse of the Chu family's business.This is where the Chu family stockpiles, it is considered the main warehouse, and the new tea that will be delivered to the Hu family early tomorrow morning is lying quietly in it at this moment.

The purpose of the visitor was clear. When he arrived at the door of the warehouse, he carefully picked the lock and slipped in. After searching the warehouse, he sprinkled the tung oil on his body on the dry goods.After everything was ready, he took out a homemade tinfoil lamp plate and put it on the oil surface, and lit a cluster of small flames with a torch.

The yellowish firelight printed his sharp-billed monkey cheeks in the darkness, as well as that malicious smile.It was a face that couldn't be more ordinary, and the facial features were so ordinary that it was almost forgettable.

After arranging everything, he exited the warehouse the same way, restored the pried lock to its original state, looked around, and then exited the warehouse area, hiding in the dark and waiting for the result.

He didn't make him wait long. After a few breaths, a large area of ​​fire began to appear in the warehouse. The orange-red, high-temperature fire dispelled the shadows in the warehouse, and even shone on the ordinary people hiding in the dark. A creepy smile on his face.

Seeing the completion of the work, the arsonist left quietly along the base of the wall.Little did they know, after he left, there was a black shadow following him in the distance.

"It's on fire—!"

When he dug out the Chu family's house, the people of the Chu family who had been awakened by the flames made horrified sounds, and shouted to urge everyone to put out the fire by beating a gong.

Behind him, the Chu family's house was engulfed in flames, and the man sneered indifferently before disappearing into the darkness again.

"Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire!"

The Chu family got up in a hurry, without even having time to fasten their clothes. Under the command of the housekeeper, they rescued the burning fire.The flames reflected on their faces, and they could all see their pale faces from the accident. Sparks kept jumping onto their bodies, and small blisters were blown out of the exposed skin.

The maidservants also carried basins of water and kept pouring water into the warehouse, hoping to put out the fire.

At this moment, the Chu family is in great chaos. The fire made the managers of the Chu family's business who came to hear the news feel a chill, and they couldn't help but said in their hearts: "It's over, it's over..."

When the Chu family was in chaos, there were a few suppressed coughs from the attic in a small garden separated from the warehouse. "Ahem..."

A jade-like catkin gently patted Chu Zhengyang's back, comforting him: "Father, go and rest. Leave the rest to my daughter."

Chu Zhengyang, who had a pale complexion, was already suffering from poor Qi and blood due to previous injuries. Now when he looked at the warehouse that was engulfed in flames, his eyes became even colder.Hearing what the daughter beside him said, he nodded his head: "If that's the case, it's hard work for Ah Li. After this incident, I must thank Mr. Shui."

Chu Qing smiled: "Don't worry, my daughter knows how to do it. Father go to rest first, and you will need you to beat the drums for the Chu family business tomorrow."

These words made Chu Zhengyang's eyes condense, and he nodded heavily again.
