Tonight, his mood seemed to be changing again. Did he shrink back? Wei Wuji asked himself, it seems that yes, and yes, who can not be afraid of a great killer who was known as the mass murderer in the early years, but they will eventually meet again.
"Master, it's late at night, it's time to rest." The jade slave said softly, wearing a luxurious white fox fur coat, stretched out her snowy arms, and sat on the master's lap.
The snow-white fox fur is half draped and half off. She is as beautiful as jade. The jade slave hugs his master.
Wei Wuji gently stroked the side of the beauty's face with his fingers and said helplessly, "It's so clingy."
Yunu was about to cry: "The slave's heart can only pretend to be the master. If not the master, who should he cling to? There are so many sisters in the courtyard. The master will forget the slave when he returns to Guangling."
"How could it be? In my heart, Jade Slave is so good that no one else can compare with her." Wei Wuji coaxed softly as he could not see the beauty crying.
Yu Nu burst into tears and smiled, and suddenly thought of one thing: "Is the Nu family beautiful?" At this moment, she was actually uneasy.
"The jade slave is naturally beautiful." Wei Wuji smiled and said, how could he keep her with him if she wasn't beautiful?
Yu Nu bit her lips lightly: "How does that compare to Mistress Youzhou?" Nowadays, everyone in the world thinks that Mistress Youzhou is the most beautiful woman in the world, even if she is already a woman, Yu Nu is jealous, if this It would be great if the name belonged to her. The master would definitely pamper her more and not make her worry about gains and losses every day.
Wei Wuji was startled, remembering the portrait of the Mistress of Youzhou that his mother had brought out in the palace, which had caused a stir for Emperor Xi's concubine to fall out of favor.
Zhou Xu's woman.
Wei Wuji pondered, that woman seemed to be Zhou Xu's beloved, otherwise, the Lu family would not still be banned. This shows that Mrs. Huarong is special in Zhou Manzi's heart.
However, how beautiful can a woman in her thirties or forties be?
"She is just an old woman." Wei Wuji said to Yu Nu.
Chapter 195 (Transition Chapter)
The next day, it was drizzling.
Xiao Luolan looked at the still closed city gates and the moat surrounding the city wall, and found that if a fight really broke out, it would be really difficult. Shouzhou, like Luzhou, was accessible by water, and the city was high and deep, relying on water for its power. It is dangerous, and the Shouzhou County Governor is also cautious and experienced, making the defense of Shouzhou City impregnable.
No wonder Sect Master Zhou was so sore yesterday.
"Mr. Zhou, it's raining." Xiao Luolan stretched out his hand out of the window and felt the coolness of the spring rain. The cavalry would be hindered by the weather on rainy days. If they didn't want to fight, it would be better to leave now.
Zhou Xu sighed when he looked at the city, but Linghu Mao, the governor of Shouzhou County opposite, was ecstatic.
This spring has been rainy, and every year it rains heavily in Shouzhou, and the Huaihe River overflows, often flooding the city. However, this small shortcoming means nothing to Gui Tuqi. As long as Zhou Xu withdraws his troops, he will have his own way to relieve the disaster.
"Are they leaving?"
Wei Wuji couldn't take his eyes away from the Ghost Tuqi under the city.
The word Youzi is fluttering.
The cavalry covered in iron armor appeared in front of him. The people from the North had always been tall, and the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry were all selected to be strong and brave. Before he got close, Wei Wuji could feel the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry coming from galloping on the battlefield. , a boiling fighting spirit tempered by a fierce battle.
Among them, the one wearing the evil ghost mask should be the general of the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry. He is particularly different in the dark mask. On the evil ghost mask, the corners of its scarlet mouth smile with an exaggerated arc. Among the many spears , It’s really like an evil ghost that seduces people’s souls and demands their lives.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, Wei Wuji suddenly lowered his head. He was wearing ordinary soldier clothes today, and his face had been smeared with pot ash. He turned into an ordinary guard, standing in front of Linghu Mao. behind.
The mysterious Ghost Slaughter Cavalry general was really extremely sharp.
Jin Ben raised his head and looked towards the city wall. The Shouzhou County Sheriff had been guarding the city since yesterday and patrolled the city wall. He also just met the county governor yesterday. Jin Ben looked at each other from a distance and found nothing strange. He asked Zuo Qi to I will lead people to follow the Lord and the others.
I'm doing my final inspection.
"It's time to leave." Linghu Mao exhaled a breath: "It's good to leave."
"Young prince, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. I hope you will put the overall situation first and return to the city." Linghu Mao was under great psychological pressure. Today's young people are more courageous than the others, but his own son can still scold him. With such an identity as the young prince , what can he say, he can only persuade in a bitter voice.
Wei Wuji felt a little regretful that although he saw the world-famous Ghost Slaughter Cavalry, he did not see Zhou Manzi.
"Uncle Wei, let's go."
Wei Shu, who had been hiding in the watchtower, took his eyes away from the leader of the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry and followed the young prince in a muffled voice. The heavy armor was draped on him, like an iron tower, which was intimidating. At least, every time the Jade Slave saw his master, I always have a knot in my heart, and I don’t dare to get too close.
The jade slave held an umbrella for his master and followed him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves below the city. Each sound seemed to be stepping on people's hearts, making them breathless.
Wei Wuji turned around and looked down the city.
Ghost Tuqi is really gone, and the dark clouds over Shouzhou City seem to have dispersed.
Wei Wuji watched for a while and left. When he returned to Shouzhou City, his attendants were waiting for him.
He was named King of Chu Ling by the emperor's uncle since he was born. He was extremely favored. His treatment was better than that of ordinary princes. He had his own palace officials, attendants, and lieutenants, all of whom were selected by him or his mother-in-law. For him, Wei Shu is the first of the five schools.
When he went to Shouzhou this time, he brought eight hundred attendants, all of whom were elite subordinates.
Return to your residence.
Wei Wuji tapped the window eaves with his fingers, listening to the sound of rain, but his heart was not at peace. Youzhou began to build the Golden Platform, and he already had the intention of recruiting talents from the world. He heard that there were saints' words on the Golden Platform.
Wei Wuji disdained this rumor, but it had to be said that after meeting Gui Tuqi, he still felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Zhou Manzi was his father's worst enemy, and naturally he was also his enemy.
He knew that the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry was extraordinary, but his attendants were also good, and Wei Shu beside him was killed out of tens of thousands of people.
It has been a long time since Wei Wuji had this kind of eagerness but hesitation to move forward. He hugged Yunu and suddenly asked: "Good Yunu, do you miss home?"
Yunu was stunned for a moment. Her home was in Qionghua Prefecture. Although Qionghua Prefecture was small, it was rich in beauties. She was bought by her master when she was traveling in Qionghua Prefecture when she was a child. After buying her, she was placed in his backyard. , as it grew older, it became more and more beautiful, so it was favored by the owner for use as a bed warmer in winter.
"You are no longer a little beggar. Don't you want to go home and visit? Qionghua Prefecture is your hometown after all." Wei Wuji said.
"Slave, will you come back?" Jade Slave actually doesn't want to go back, but she knows that the master prefers obedient people.
"Of course not. It's very dangerous for a beauty to travel alone. I'll escort you back and maybe you can find your parents and relatives." Wei Wuji said.
Yunu's eyes were in a trance. She could not remember her childhood memories clearly. She only remembered that she was abducted by a kidnapper. The kidnapper wanted to sell her into a flower house. Later, she was spotted by the owner on the roadside and bought her for a lot of money. down.
To this day, Yu Nu still remembers that in the cold winter, the owner who got off the luxurious carriage, like a god, covered a little beggar on the roadside who no one cared about with a luxurious fox fur.
"Zhou Manzi's army is ahead, will the master be in danger?" Yu Nu asked worriedly.
"I don't show up in front of others, so how can others know my identity? The jade slave will be a great fox lady and return home in fine clothes." Wei Wuji said with a smile. It was obvious that he had planned everything. He was going back to Guangling, but he just stopped by Qionghua Prefecture. Return to Guangling.
"Okay, it's decided." Wei Wuji said.
"I have something to say." Wei Shu, who has always been treated as a transparent person in the study, said: "I was ordered by the princess to be responsible for the safety of the young prince. Now the prince wants to put himself in danger because of his favorite concubine."
Wei Shu knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my disobedience and disrespect."
Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Uncle Wei, it would be pointless to press my mother against me."
"I only know that the princess is responsible for the prince's safety." Wei Shu said in a deep voice.
Wei Wuji touched the beauty's hair, and after a while, he said to the door: "Sun Yan."
"Hey! Little prince, little ancestor, why are you calling me?" A short man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks quickly slipped into the room and kowtowed to the little prince.
Wei Shu's face changed, full of disgust, and he wished he could kick him to death. Who would have thought that such a guy would be one of the five captains of the school.
"Get ready, I want to go to Qionghua Prefecture with Yunu," Wei Wuxian said.
"Oh, this, this." Sun Yan said in embarrassment: "If the princess knows about this, she has to skin the villain."
Wei Shu watched him act coldly. Sun Yan belonged to the Duke of Wei and he could not touch him.
"When Zhou Manzi and the others didn't know my identity and I didn't show up, they didn't dare to meet me on the road." Wei Wuji's eyes were filled with coldness: "I haven't even fought a single battle, and yet I'm so scared. Ah Mommy and Daddy let you be by my side just to show me how majestic Zhou Manzi is in Jianghuai and how cowardly and incompetent you are?"
"Don't be angry, young prince." Sun Yan said quickly: "Zhou Manzi is cruel and ruthless to his enemies, but he doesn't just kill and show blood. If he disguises himself properly, it shouldn't be difficult to just meet him once."
Wei Shu said angrily: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Sun Yan, you encouraged the young prince to do these dangerous things. I will report it to the princess when I get back."
"Aiya, aiya, what are you doing?" Sun Yan squinted his eyes and said mockingly: "How do some people destroy their own prestige and boost others' ambitions? No matter how powerful Zhou Manzi is, what kind of trouble can he cause in Jiangnan!"
"There are no people from us in any state or county in the south of the Yangtze River. If you are so afraid, why should you be the leader of the five captains? You might as well retire as soon as possible to make room for your brothers."
"You!" Wei Shu was furious and was about to draw his sword.
"Uncle Wei, why should you be angry? It's not too late to object to Commander Sun Yan's plan." Wei Wuji reconciled and told Sun Yan about his disguise plan.
"In this case, it is not advisable for the young prince to bring too many people with him, because there has been no war in Shouzhou and Luzhou recently, and bringing too many people with him may arouse suspicion. You can pretend to be a servant of a certain family, and the lady Yunu will ride on the high horse The car is a BMW, the young prince may be able to hide in the car.”
"But remember not to cause too many troubles, just pass by." Sun Yan emphasized.
Of course Wei Wuji knew this. He nodded: "I will leave this matter to you."
"Yes." Sun Yan said.
After Sun Yan left, Wei Shu saw that the matter was irreversible and said in a low voice: "I will lead the elite troops to stay behind the prince to protect his safety."
"Stay far away. We must not let Zhou Manzi and others discover any flaws." Wei Wuji said.
The study door was closed again.
Wei Wuji pinched the beauty's chin and said with a smile: "If you become a noble girl outside, you can't fall softly on me."
The jade slave didn't know what his master meant. He felt uneasy and secretly glanced at his master.
"Sit up straight, my dear slave." Wei Wuji met the beauty's eyes and smiled: "A noble lady with a soft and charming face is really not worthy of being on the stage."
Yunu's face turned pale for an instant, and then he slowly sat up straight on his master's lap. However, his body was stiff, his head hung down, he bit his lip and shed tears. He felt very inferior for his identity, but he pulled on his master's sleeves. Don't let go.
"Are you crying?" Wei Wuji gently wiped away the beauty's tears. He was always kind and affectionate towards the beauty.
Feeling the gentle and considerate movements of the master, the jade slave couldn't help hugging the master anymore, absorbing the warmth from his body, closing her eyes and murmuring: "The jade slave will play the role of a noble lady, master, don't despise the jade slave for being useless."
Wei Wuji touched the beauty's hair and felt that the world was so wonderful.
Who would have thought that the little beggar who could compete with dogs for food on the snowy road and would bite him back even if he was bullied by other naughty boys until his head was bloody would turn into a beautiful concubine who could not live without him.
Yes, I can't live without him.
Wei Wuji felt the beauty's wholehearted love for him and smiled slightly.
Chapter 196
Shou, the official road office of two states in Lu.
"If it hadn't rained, we would have arrived in Luzhou in the afternoon." Xiao Qingxue held her chin in her hands and looked at the drizzle outside the carriage in boredom. The old and skinny donkey she bought on Saturday was slowly following the spacious carriage. Walking slowly, mud and water splashed under the donkey's hooves, followed by the Ghost Slayer Cavalry. Even in the rain, these elite cavalry showed no signs of slacking off.
Jin Ben often patrolled. Washed by the rain, the evil ghost mask seemed to be crying and laughing. Looking at the strange and scary thing, Xiao Qingxue rubbed the cold hairs on the back of her hands.
"Aqiu!" Xiao Qingxue rubbed her nose and sneezed again.
"Close the windows to avoid catching a cold." Xiao Luolan was making ginger tea on the small stove. The carriage was full of the pungent smell of red dates and ginger tea. The temperature inside the carriage was suitable and the place was spacious, so on Saturday, Xiao Qinghe and the others Gathered in the largest main car of the trip.
