"I'll just go out for a second, then come back to you," she saidFeeling lulled and drowsy from the scented pillow and sheets, Qian Long heard a faint sound in front of the bed
"You mischievous girl," he said with a smile"What's the hold up?"
The curtain opened and a head appearedUnder the candlelight Qian Long could see it had a pock-marked face, and thick sideburns, very different from Beautiful Jade's fair featuresHe rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again just as the intruder placed a shining dagger by his neck and said quietly in Cantonese: "Damn your ancestors, you bastard Emperor, make one sound and I'll use this

He felt himself being shaken and heard the sound of wheels starting to move, and knew he was in a carriageIn his terror, he wondered who had kidnapped him and where they were taking him
The carriage travelled for a long timeAfter a while the road became uneven, and the carriage shook and bumped about, indicating they had left the cityFinally they stopped, and Qian Long felt himself lifted out of the carriage and carried upwards, one step after another endlessly until he thought they must be ascending a high peakHe was so frightened, his whole body quaked, and surrounded by darkness inside the quilt, he almost began to cry
Finally, he was put down with a bumpHe chanel knockoff waited quietly, not daring to speak, but a long while passed without anything happeningHe slowly pushed aside the quilt in which he was wrapped and looked out to find everything in total darknessHe fancied he could hear the sound of waves breaking a long way off, and concentating he also heard the wind rippling through fir trees and the clear, steady chime of a brass bellThe wind became stronger and stronger, gusting angrily, and he thought he felt the structure he was in rocking slightlyEven more afraid, he moved as if to stand up
"If you want to live, don't move," a deep voice close by growledQian Long jumped in fright and stayed as still as he could
Gradually, the wind subsided and it began to grow light until he could see he was in a small roomHaving climbed for so long to reach it, he wondered if it was a house on the peak of a mountainHe heard a series of snuffling noises, and listening carefully, realised the guards were eating noodlesFrom the cartier watches for women sound of it there were two of them, chewing great mouthfuls with relishHaving been awake all night, he felt hungry and his appetite sharpened as the smell of the noodles wafted over to him

"Is that for me?" Qian Long wondered to himselfBut the guards said nothing, and despite his hunger he did not dare to open his mouth to ask
"That bowl of noodles is for you," one of the guards finally said"There's no poison in it
Qian Long was overjoyedHe sat up to get the bowl, but a wave of cold struck his body and he remembered that he was nakedHe hastily lay down again and wrapped himself in the quiltHow could he stand up in front of strangers without a stitch on?
"Damn your ancestors, so you're afraid of poison are you?" one of the guards said"All right, I'll eat it to show you He picked up the bowl and guzzled its contents men's rolex watch dow
