Chapter 202 Gu Dai's death leaves no further trouble
Seeing that Li Shao was about to leave without saying a word after giving her the silver, the woman hurriedly got up and chased after him.
She was shouting, "General! General, please wait for me! You paid off my debt, and I will be yours for the rest of my life, General!"
Everyone on the street was looking at the two of them. Li Shao stopped and turned to look at her. "Thirty taels of silver is my gift to you. I don't need you to be my servant. There is nothing between us. Let's go our separate ways."
"No, how can you give it to me? My father taught me since I was a child that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Because of you, I was saved from being... sold to that kind of place. Please keep me. I can be your servant, or anything else~"
As she spoke, she looked at Li Shao with her big watery eyes, shyly and timidly.
But it was just a wink to a blind man. Li Shao could not appreciate her beauty and said coldly: "I have plenty of maids at home, so you don't need to serve me."
"If you don't want me, a weak woman like me will have no way to survive. I can do everything, such as washing clothes, cooking, making beds, and sweeping the floor. I don't ask for anything, but I just want to stay by your side and see you every day. That's enough for my life. Please accept me as your slave~"
Such humble words, coupled with the delicate and tearful look of the woman, if any other man heard it, he would definitely hug her in his arms with heartache.
Li Shao sighed and said, "I'll give you another chance. Do you really want to follow me?"
The woman's eyes met Li Shao's deep and unfathomable eyes, and she felt a little palpitated for a moment, but soon she was ecstatic because Li Shao relaxed his tone.
She nodded shyly, "Really, as long as I can be with you, Dai'er has nothing else to ask for in this life."
Li Shao chuckled and said, "Okay, then just follow me."
The woman was pleasantly surprised, secretly sighing in her heart that no man could resist her beauty, and she said, "Yes, General."
Afterwards, she followed Li Shao closely, stealing shy glances at him from time to time.
When discovered by Li Shao, she would blush and lower her head, looking like a girl who has just fallen in love.
Li Shao did not continue walking on the street, but took the woman to more and more remote places, and soon they arrived at a place where there was no one.
The woman moved closer to Li Shao in fear and whispered, "General, why did you bring me to a place like this? It's so scary. There's no one here except us."
Li Shao smiled and said, "Isn't it good to be alone? It's quiet and convenient for us to talk about our "hearts". What do you think?!"
The woman seemed to understand something suddenly after hearing this. Her fair face instantly turned red. She pulled the handkerchief with both hands and said shyly, "General! You are so mean~ But... But in a place like this, I, I won't obey you~"
"Hahaha! You're quite skilled! You should have just followed them. Your tricks will definitely work well in a brothel. You should have no problem getting an oiran."
Li Shao looked so genuinely sorry for her that the woman wanted to kill him right away.
How dare you insult her with such words! A hint of viciousness flashed across the woman's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. Her face was full of hurt and her eyes were full of tears.
"General, you...how can you say that to me? Because you saved me, I am yours. I thought you...would say that without regard for a woman's dignity, but you are like this..."
"I am also a good girl from an honest family. If you say that about me...I really can't live anymore..."
As she spoke, she acted as if she was really looking for a place to commit suicide. Li Shao did not say anything. He just stood there, folding his arms, and watched her performance quietly.
The woman quickly reacted and realized that she had been seen through by Li Shao, so she stopped pretending and instantly became expressionless, but her eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent towards Li Shao.
"When did you find out?"
"The first time I saw you, I knew you were acting together, but I didn't expect it was directed at me."
At first, Li Shao thought it was a group of scammers looking for a fat sheep to set up a trap, but when the woman specifically asked him for help among a group of people, he knew that they were targeting him. However, he also gave the woman a chance, but who knew that she would insist on pestering him.
"So you've been teasing me all this time?"
Li Shao nodded honestly, "I see that you are so addicted to drama, so I can only cooperate with you. The fifty taels will be considered as the money I paid for watching the drama, and you don't have to pay it back."
Her nonchalant attitude made her a complete joke.
But Gu Dai quickly suppressed her anger and laughed instead, "Just say whatever you want. You can't say much anyway, so just say your last words!"
In fact, when Li Shao took her to a remote place, she vaguely realized that something was wrong. She pretended several times that she couldn't help but get close to him because of her admiration for him, but she had already poisoned Li Shao quietly.
Gu Dai just waited for Li Shao to be poisoned and tortured to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy.
At this time, Li Shao suddenly said, "You are the mysterious person who helped the Liao Kingdom to plot against the Sixth Prince, right?"
Gu Dai was surprised that Li Shao could guess who she was. Almost all of her witchcraft skills were wasted, and the natal witch in her body fell into a deep sleep.
Logically speaking, no matter how advanced his witchcraft skills were, he would not be able to sense her identity as a witch doctor.
In fact, Gu Dai was overthinking. Li Shao knew nothing about witchcraft. When he used his mental power to scan Gu Dai just now, he found a strange insect sleeping in her body, and then he guessed her identity.
Previously, Gu Dai risked her life to return to the Gu clan to steal treasures in order to save her lover Gu Chen. Although she knew that returning would mean walking into a trap, for the sake of Gu Chen, Gu Dai had to give it a try.
However, the miracle did not happen. Gu Chen died and she was seriously injured. Almost all of her witchcraft skills were destroyed. She escaped at the cost of her life.
Gu Dai hid in the mountains for a long time before she could barely come out. By then, the Jing army had defeated the two countries, and the various deeds of Li Shao and the Jing army were widely circulated.
Based on various clues, she deduced that it was Li Shao who saved Jing Xiangyuan. Although she didn't know what ethnic group Li Shao came from, she was certain that his witchcraft must be very advanced.
But no matter how strong he is, he cannot stop Gu Dai's desire for revenge, and now her witchcraft has been abolished, even the most skilled witchcraft master should not be able to detect her identity.
According to Gu Dai's original plan, she intended to seduce Li Shao, then follow him back to Beijing, kill everyone around him and the people he loved bit by bit, watch him suffer, and then slowly torture him to death.
Unexpectedly, he saw through her plan from the very beginning, but it didn't matter. The poison she gave Li Shao was the result of the hard work she and Brother Chen had developed together over the years.
No matter if they are people with great martial arts skills or masters with superb witchcraft skills, none of them can escape.
Li Shao just stood there, watching her there alone, her face showing pain, sadness, and ecstasy at times... She was almost mentally ill.
Thinking that he should be kind and send her to freedom as soon as possible, he walked forward and planned to kill her.
As they got closer, Gu Dai finally came out of her fantasy and looked at Li Shao in disbelief, "You...you, how could it be, how come you are fine..."
"You're crazy, what can happen to me?" Li Shao couldn't help but roll his eyes. He instantly moved in front of Gu Dai and grabbed her neck.
However, before killing her, Li Shao did not forget to use his mental power to invade her brain. He had to confirm whether this Gu Dai had any accomplices.
If there are any, kill them all at once. Otherwise, after killing one, another will come, which is really annoying.
Li Shao felt relieved when he learned that the big men who had cooperated with Gu Dai in the play were all hired by her and that she had no other accomplices.
After throwing Gu Dai's body near the wolf's den in the mountains, Li Shao hurried back to the town. He still had to buy jewelry for Ye Ge'er.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, Jing Xiangyuan, you really cause me trouble. It's not over after saving you, there are still some small tails that need to be dealt with later.
