Mr. Wu put down the tea cup and leaned on the Taishi chair. He held his chin with one hand and looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a maid walked in, but it was not Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi was sent by Mr. Wu to take care of Bai Xiaoxiao.
The maid gave a blessing and said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Jiang is here."
Mr. Wu suddenly frowned, his face full of impatience, "No!"
"But... eh, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang! You can't go in!" The maid's voice became tense.
When he looked up, he saw that Mr. Jiang had broken through the maid's obstruction and was already standing in the room.
A woman in white followed closely behind and stepped into the house.
Mr. Wu's brows deepened, but he did not embarrass the maid, "You go down first, I will handle it here."
"Yes, Mr. Wu." The maid slowly backed away and closed the door.
"Still not giving up?" Seeing no outsiders, Mr. Wu didn't show any politeness and went straight to the point.
The man in purple robe smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wu, you don't know how important that person is to us, so why bother asking?"
Mr. Wu ignored him, "You are my patient in my hands, and no one can take him away during the treatment."
"Everything is possible. Don't be too confident, Mr. Wu." The woman in white spoke slowly, her voice as clear as the morning orioles.
"Snow Envoy, please pay attention to your tone when you speak, don't be too rude." Although the man in purple robe said this, there was no blame on his face.
"Okay, I will do whatever Brother Jiang says. I am obedient." The woman in white said with a smile.
Mr. Wu watched the performance of the two and couldn't help but sneer, "Wind, fire, water, earth, cloud, rain, frost, snow, why are there only two of the eight patrol envoys here? Do you look down on me so much? I still think that you two useless people can take care of me." Take people away from me?”
The man in purple robe was not angry when he heard Mr. Wu humiliating him in this way. He just continued to laugh in apology. On the other hand, when the woman in white heard this, her eyebrows stood up with an indignant look on her face, "Brother Jiang and I respect you as a senior, that's why we talk to you so well, otherwise..."
"Otherwise?" Mr. Wu's eyes narrowed slightly.
The man in purple robe quickly took a step forward, blocked in front of the woman in white, and took out a piece of cloth from his arms, "Mr. Wu, please don't be angry. Let's take a look at what this is."
Mr. Wu looked up, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The man in purple robe couldn't help but feel proud when he saw this.
He spent a lot of effort to get this.
The material of the cloth is not considered to be of high quality, it is almost the same as burlap, but because it is woven with some unknown silk threads, even if it is very worn, it still looks brilliant.
Mr. Wu couldn't help clenching his hands hidden in his sleeves, "Where did you get this?"
The man in purple robe didn't answer, he just looked up at the sky, "I've been here for so long, I feel a little thirsty."
"Yes, yes." The woman in white agreed.
Mr. Wu sneered, "I like to talk but don't talk."
After saying that, Mr. Wu closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Since you don’t want to talk about it, just let it go and see who can endure it!
Anyway, you will be more anxious than me.
The man in purple robe felt depressed, why didn't Mr. Wu act according to common sense? According to the rumors, he is not such a rogue!
The purple-robed man gritted his teeth and said, "I got it accidentally when I was a guest in Taoyuan Mountain."
"Taoyuan Mountain?" Mr. Wu repeated softly, and then looked at the purple-robed man with a joking face, "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be so elegant. That beautiful orchid land is so unforgettable."
The old man in purple robe blushed, and quickly explained: "I was invited by a friend. I went up the mountain just to enjoy the scenery by leaning on the railing, and to cook tea in the snow. I didn't do any other things!"
"I didn't say anything, so why are you so eager to explain? Are you feeling guilty?"
The man in purple robe closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Got fooled.
Got clichéd.
Isn’t it said that Mr. Wu is not good at words?
The rumors are false!
The rumors misled me!
Mr. Wu seemed to know what the man in purple robe was thinking, and said with a joking look on his face: "Rumors are just rumors, only seeing can make you believe it!"
The man in purple robe was a little embarrassed, but he still had the courage to say: "Mr. Wu, I have already told you the news. With this piece of cloth, I can replace him, right?"
"Oh? When did I say that you can take people away with this thing? Or do you think that person is only worth so much?" Mr. Wu picked up the tea cup, gently brushed away the tea foam, and drank Take a bite.
Seeing the unwillingness and anger surging in the purple-robed man's eyes, Mr. Wu added, "There are some things that you should think clearly before saying them. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen."
These words were like a bucket of cold water that sobered the man in purple robes. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and took out a small wooden box, "Mr. Wu, I heard that you are looking for a herbal plant, and I happen to have one in hand."
Opening the wooden box, there was a thorn-like grass lying inside, but the roots were as red as fire, and the thorn-like leaves were as black as ink, which was very mysterious.
Mr. Wu just glanced briefly, and his face became more smiley, "You are willing to take out this thing. It seems that you have spent a lot of money."
"Otherwise, how could Mr. Wu let him go?" The man in purple robe felt very hurt.
This herb is very precious. With his status and means, it took him decades to get this herb. It was originally intended to be a life-saving medicine, but now it has no choice but to be used as a bargaining chip.
But, for that person, it’s worth it!
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu still shook his head, "You still can't take this person away."
The man in purple robe suddenly became anxious, "Mr. Wu, isn't this enough?"
The woman in white also frowned, "Mr. Wu, we can't take advantage of it and just keep talking like a lion, can we? At least let us know everything."
Mr. Wu shook his head, "You have misunderstood me. These things are actually enough."
"Can……"
Mr. Wu raised his hand and interrupted the purple-robed man's question, "That person now has a family, and we have a deep family relationship with each other. If I hand that person over to you without his permission, I will It will be difficult to do. Besides, I was given a reward that I can’t refuse. At least for now, I can’t hand the person over to you directly.”
Seeing that there was room for change, the man in purple robe immediately said: "In other words, if the family agrees, Mr. Wu, you will also agree to us taking the person away?"
"Logically speaking, that's the case." Mr. Wu nodded, "It's just that it will be more difficult for him to handle than me."
The purple-robed man hesitated, "How difficult can it be? It's just more money or more things to exchange."
Mr. Wu sneered, "Stuff? He doesn't know the goods! Money? He's not short of it now. Besides, he already regards that person as a family member, and is even willing to die for her, just to survive for that person. Just this kind of family friendship , do you think he would let you take that person away so easily?"
The man in purple robe was silent.
This was something he never expected.
It is okay to die for the sake of others living. Are there such people in this world now?
Unless you are a fool!
The woman in white suddenly asked: "Mr. Wu, can you let us meet with that person? Just one meeting, and we promise not to do anything!"
The man in purple robe echoed repeatedly.
Mr. Wu nodded, "That's okay. Don't make trouble. You can watch it as long as you want."
Mr. Wu stood up and said, "Follow me."
The man in purple robe and the woman in white robe looked at each other, and they could see in each other's eyes the joy of finally succeeding.
We’ve been looking for it for so long, so what if we wait a few more days?
It's harmless.
Then the two of them hurriedly followed Mr. Wu, fearing that the hard-won opportunity to meet would be lost.
I still have to report when I get back.
