Feng Yu Jiu Tian vol. 19 ch. 6 – part 1

Translator: churnie

Lie Er suddenly wakes up from his dream.

When he opens his eyes, the room is dark, and he can only feel the cold sweat on his forehead.

With his body presses against the warm piece, he moves his fingers lightly and touches it in the dark, the familiar touch instantly makes him realize that it’s Yu Lang.

Yu Lang seems to have developed the habit of sleeping beside him.

This seemingly intimate habit is causing someone to not know whether they should laugh or cry.

The bed is very comfortable, with thick soft mattresses but not big, the two of them sleep side by side and their bodies have to stay close to each other.

Lie Er can still feel the slight ups and downs, shaking gently like a cradle, it’s estimated that he is on an inconspicuous small noble boat on the Aman River.

Since being chased by Yong Yi that night, Yu Lang has learned his lesson and refused to use the previously reserved fixed hiding place. Instead, he chose ships that move at all times to avoid the pursuit.

Yong Yi’s power is in Yong Yin, but the Aman River cross Zhao Bei, Yong Yin, and Tong kingdom, and has many tributaries, although Lie Er has been locked up in the cabin, there is no way to know which direction the ship is heading, but with Yu Lang’s caution, it’s estimated that he will take himself away from the most dangerous Yong Yin as soon as possible, and he might have entered the territory of the Tong kingdom.

I wonder if Duke Ming and Great King are in the Tong kingdom now?

Big Brother, Qiu Lan and others, they should be following Duke Ming.

He hopes that Duke Ming must not be caught in Yu Lang’s poisonous plan, he hates that he has clearly guessed the matter of Wen Lan, but he has been unable to escape from Yu Lang again and again…

“You are sleeping less and less now.”

The low male voice drill into his ears, Lie Er is trembling and alert, Yu Lang wakes up.

“Are you still thinking about how to escape?” Yu Lang sits up from his side, lit a candle, and looks back at Lie Er’s expression carefully. “Since we separated, you’ve changed a lot, and you don’t like to smile like you used to.”

Lie Er glances at him and says, “I just don’t like smiling in front of you.”

Yu Lang chuckles, “Your tongue is as poisonous as before.”

He leans over and Lie Er shrinks subconsciously, the action doesn’t show any fear, but full of alertness and doesn’t want to let the other influence him, Yu Lang stops elegantly and with a light sigh he says, “It turns out that you only like to hold me tightly when you are being chased, but once you are safe, you will completely change your attitude.”

Lie Er is being pricked in the heart by him, but he deliberately remain silent and only corrects: “Yong Yi is chasing you, he just wants to save me. One day he will save me.”

“In that case, why don’t you stay by my side obediently, and don’t try to escape again and again?” Yu Lang slowly leans forward, the handsome face radiant with a light of confidence, and he softly says, “You know in your heart that he can’t compare with me, and can’t compete with me in this life.”

As soon as he leaned over, Lie Er felt a huge invisible pressure coming over him, that he could not even breathe smoothly.

Lie Er thinks to himself that in terms of sharp words, he’s probably won’t be able to compare with Yu Lang, not to mention that now he has fallen into his hands, the dispute of words will only make things worse, if he wanted to tell Duke Ming, it was better to remain unchanged and waited for the opportunity to escape. Just by waiting for the opportunity like this, would it be possible that by the time he escape, Duke Ming has already met Wen Lan and been poisoned?

He’s imprisoned by Yu Lang, didn’t know that Feng Ming and others have seen through the plan of Wen Lan and Shen Yu, and the false alarm is brought to an end, so he’s still anxious that he can’t deliver the news.

Fortunately, he is a senior spy after all, and he know that the more impatient he is, the more he can’t act rashly, much less to reveal his impatience in front of Yu Lang, seeing Yu Lang staring at himself with eyes that seem to penetrate people’s heart, he raises his face and generously let Yu Lang see clearly, and asks in a relaxed tone, “Is it because Yong Yi chased you too tightly and scared you so much that you only dare to move on the surface of the river?”

Yu Lang has never been infuriated by him, he smiles in a good mood: “You have to mention this name in every words, do you think jealousy can let me make a mistake?”

Lie Er doesn’t evade his eyes, pretending to be surprised he mockingly says, “Don’t you have no heart? How can you be jealous?”

Yu Lang just smiles, staring at Lie Er with a frightening deep gaze for a moment, then raises his palm and hit it twice in the air.

After a while, there’s a knock on the door, and a man who looks like a guard comes in with a bowl of hot potion. Lie Er smells the weird smell and knows that it’s time to inject the drugs again.

Lie Er has been imprisoned for a long time, he seems to be headstrong, but in fact he’s the most practical in handling things, if he is showing off and fall by the consequences, it will do no harm to Yu Lang and the only one who will suffer is himself, so he might as well be more generous and take the initiative to reach for it and drink it up like a tonic.

Yu Lang is beside him, quietly watching him to drink up the medicine, watching him frown bluntly because the potion taste bad, it’s both beautiful and lovable, he thoughtfully take the clean bowl, and says indifferently: “I ordered someone to drop a male corpse with a rotten face and a body that resembles you in the water where we escape from the hunt.”

The gaze from the side told him that Lie Er has been stirred up by this topic.

Yu Lang looks calm, “Unfortunately, this corpse failed to make that man Yong Yi gives up the investigation as I thought. According to the scout’s information received, after seeing the body he had fished up, he stayed in the room all day and didn’t come out, and finally he told his men that he had received the news that you had managed to spread, informing him that the corpse was just a trick to confuse the enemy, and he must continue to track down your whereabouts. Lie Er, can you really send a message to him when you’re by my side?”

He turns sideways, looking at Lie Er with a smile, and says, “Just by looking at your deliberately calm expression, i know that Yong Yi’s so-called news from you is just made up by himself.”

Lie Er said, “He is very smart and can see through your tricks.”

“He is not smart, he is just cowardly afraid to face the news that you are dead.”

“He knows that I am alive.” Lie Er grits his teeth, “For him, I have to live no matter how hard it is.”

Yu Lang’s faint gaze stop on Lie Er’s face, and his tone is still so calm that makes people hate him, “You’re right, Yong Yi’s investigation does give me a bit of a headache. Since it’s hard to fool Yong Yi by faking your corpse, I have to think of something else.”

Lie Er’s heart shudders and he waits more seriously for him to continue.

The hateful thing is that Yu Lang stops in the middle of talking as if he has guessed what he’s thinking, he looks at Lie Er with bright eyes, like a clever hunter waiting for his prey to step into the trap.

But the elegant pride that used to be very familiar, both dazzling and causing people too hard to break away, now becomes distressing.

Lie Er turns his face stubbornly and silent.

This time, Yu Lang makes a rare concession and takes the initiative to reveal everything: “In order to stop Yong Yi from pressing on, I wrote two letters, one is to Yong Yi, telling him that you are still in my hands and are poisoned with liquid potion, which must be taken every day after drinking it, once the potion is cut off, the toxicity will occur immediately, and there is no cure. Even if he traces your whereabouts, the day he rescues you will be the day to say goodbye to you forever.”

Lie Er remains silent.

Yu Lang has never hid anything about the liquid he’s forced to take every day, he has been outspoken to him from the first day that it’s poison.

This is an excellent way to make Lie Er unable to leave him, because leaving means death. Yu Lang’s intention of this letter is very clear, even if it may not stop Yong Yi from tracing him, it can make Yong Yi more troublesome in the tracing that exhausts all his efforts and energy.

This means that he not only wants to rescue Lie Er safely, but also must find the antidote for the poison he’s taking, otherwise, the rescued Lie Er may soon become a cold corpse in his arms.

“What about the other letter?” Lie Er asks.

Yu Lang turns his head and ponders slightly, he glances at Lie Er, “Do you really want to know?”

Lie Er says without the slightest hesitation: “If you want to use this as an excuse to threaten me, then don’t say it. I won’t agree to any terms just because I want to know what letter you wrote. Yu Lang, you are too underestimating me to use this trick against me. Not everyone will be fooled by you.”

Yu Lang nods rather elegantly, “As long as you don’t regret it.”

Lie Er isn’t surprised, annoyed or hate, he knows very well in his heart that Yu Lang once again uses extraordinarily clever manipulation tricks on him. This man always has a peculiar charm, that makes people can’t help but sinking step by step with the trap he has set until they lost their life.

Yu Lang is the kind of character who immediately let you know his cruelty, but you have no choice but to continue to be manipulated by him. If you don’t want to be manipulated by him, you must grit your teeth and refuse temptation.

Lie Er takes a deep breath secretly, and even though he’s very restless, he still pretends to be absent-minded, “I am locked here, even if I know the content of the letter, I can’t send out any news, so knowing it or not it’s all the same to me. Just talk if you like, and forget if you don’t.”

Yu Lang smiles softly beside him, “That’s not necessarily true, although this letter has been written, I haven’t sent it out yet. Maybe after you read the letter, you will do something that make things difficult for me and make me delay sending the letter for several days.”

Lie Er is greatly restless and knows that Yu Lang has already launched an offensive against him.

Against this guy, a lack of steadiness is definitely a defeat.

Lie Er forces himself not to be disrupted by Yu Lang’s temptation, and makes an unmoved attitude, he sneers, “I don’t think I can do anything to make things difficult to you, otherwise, I would have done it long ago.”

Yu Lang says softly: “When I pretended to be shot off my horse by an arrow that night, I heard your panic cry, Lie Er, if you don’t cover up your sincerity like you do now, but tell me that you still like me, it will be enough to make things difficult for me. In that case, I might not have the heart to keep you imprisoned.”

Lie Er’s chest is suddenly burned by the heat, and his internal organs almost roll over. He hates himself!

_____________

I can feel that Lie Er does still have some feelings towards this scumbag, why do Li kingdom’s people are so obsessed and so pyscho, If Yu Lang is not psycho he and Lie Er will become perfect lovers. Lie Er was betraying Yu Lang’s trust because Lie Er apparently Xirei’s spy which is Yu Lang’s country’s enemy and had fooled Yu Lang into fell for him (even though he himself fell for real), and Yu Lang as a nationalist as he is, he tried to ‘killed’ Lie Er. But without those Nationality problem, Yu Lang loved him so much and for Lie Er Yu Lang is his first love. In the other hand, Yong Yi is the one who fell in love with Lie Er meanwhile Lie Er still trying to forget Yu Lang. Huuh… It’s such a tragic triangle love story.
