The night is thick, providing cover for all crimes. The wild mountains are desolate and provide a place for crime.
Of course, there are also people who are unaccustomed to killing without blinking an eye, such as Chen Mu, who disguised himself as the Ninth Prince and released the hostages as promised when he arrived at safety.
However, what the hostage did next shocked Chen Mu and Chen Mu.
The first moment he was safe, Wei Xiaobao knelt at Chen Mu's feet with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Second Minister, Wei Xiaobao comes to see His Highness and asks Your Highness to punish him."
Chen Mu felt goosebumps all over after hearing this. There was no falsehood at all in this sentence. The emotion was deep and the words were sincere. It gave him the feeling of seeing a loyal old minister face to face with the king who had subjugated his country.
"Oh! You actually hijacked your feelings. Master, are you too powerful or is he too stupid?"
After teasing, Jiang Nan suddenly thought of something. He tiptoed and whispered in Chen Mu's ear: "Boss, according to the development of the plot, you will accept him as your disciple soon. In order to hide your identity, should we..."
As she spoke, Jiang Nan put her hand across her neck and made a murderous gesture. Fearing that Chen Mu wouldn't understand, she even rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue in a dying gesture.
There was no response from Chen Mu for a while, and Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but curse: "Good luck, sir, I was lucky enough to travel to Wei Xiaobao, but why do things always go beyond expectations?"
Without thinking too much, Wei Xiaobao suddenly sat down on the ground, quickly took off his shoes and socks, and said urgently: "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. In fact, I am an incense master of Tiandi. I swear to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness, please take a look at the inscriptions on the soles of your feet. The words "Qing Ming" on the left and repeated on the right are the identification of the villain."
Chen Mu wanted to leave, but Jiang Nan pretended to be interested, lit a torch and almost touched the other party's soles, exclaiming: "Oh! It's really Qingming, why don't you go visit the tomb? Take off the other one for me too." ?”
Wei Xiaobao was slightly panicked. From the beginning, he felt that the story of this world was very different from what he knew. Now he finally no longer doubted: this world is completely different from what he knew. For example, Ning Ke, who was supposed to be aloof and aloof, was actually more cunning and unruly than he imagined. The two points of exquisite beauty and belonging have not changed, but unfortunately it is increasingly beyond his control.
"Hey! Why are you in a daze? Do you want me to help you get rid of it?"
"That's the best, I'll be so happy that I faint!"
"Bah! You really dare to think that you won't find a pit to look after yourself. Who in this world is qualified for me to serve except the master of this princess?"
Seemingly feeling that Wei Xiaobao's words had insulted him, Jiang Nan sarcastically continued: "I hate scumbags like you the most in my life. If I hadn't been afraid of dirtying my precious hands, I would have cut you into pieces and fed them to the dogs.
Do you still need to prove your identity? It's late at night. Master and I have business to do and don't want to waste time on you. "
Wei Xiaobao felt more and more heartbroken, and he could comfort himself with ordinary scolding: fighting between lovers is kissing and scolding, which is love. But Jiang Nan's last words made him jealous: In the middle of the night, what else can a man and a woman do if they are alone? Definitely cuckolding him.
It's a pity that no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he still had to deal with the current predicament. Wei Xiaobao cursed the stupid couple in his heart, put a smile on his face and said to please: "To be honest, in fact, the incense seal was too painful at that time, so I carved a foot . But Your Highness must believe that I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty and sworn in with the Qing Dynasty."
As he spoke, Wei Xiaobao suddenly squeezed out tears and said in a choked voice: "I am an orphan. I was originally from Yangzhou, but Qing Gou is not a human being. He killed men, women, and children in Yangzhou for three days and three nights. My grandfather was only eight years old." He was killed by them when he was just a year old."
"Make it up, keep making it up, I want to hear how your grandfather had your father before he was eight years old?"
When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he immediately reacted and thought of a countermeasure while secretly exclaiming: "My grandfather made a marriage arrangement when he was young. Although he passed away early, my grandmother was unyielding and never married, and then gave birth to my father."
"Tsk tsk, that's a profound story."
Jiang Nan rubbed his chin with a teasing look on his face. Wei Xiaobao took the opportunity to express his loyalty to Chen Mu: "Qing Gou and I have a blood feud. I went deep into the enemy's nest just to get information. I hope that one day I can contribute to the restoration of our Ming Dynasty. Your Highness, I have a little heart for you. , Heaven can teach you."
"Master Wei Xiang committed himself to the tiger's den. It's a blessing. But there is no Ninth Prince in the world anymore. You don't have to be like this. What just happened is a misunderstanding. You can leave."
Wei Xiaobao was moved. Faced with the unpredictable darkness, leaving now would indeed ensure safety, but dangers and opportunities coexisted, not to mention that the Ninth Prince's attitude had greatly improved now. For the sake of beauty, I rushed with my head in my hands.
"Your Highness, I am extremely honored to be able to see the true face of Your Highness today. From now on, I am willing to serve you before you. This is the wish passed down from my ancestors from generation to generation. Please fulfill it, Your Highness."
"Okay! We happen to be short of an errand boy. Since you're so close to us, we won't be polite."
Jiang Nan had no mercy for abusing a scumbag. Hearing this, he immediately threw the package of the two of them to Wei Xiaobao, and then persuaded Chen Mudao: "Master, a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. It took eighteen generations for our ancestors to get this opportunity. You can't be cold." win people's hearts."
Hearing the beautiful woman speak for him, Wei Xiaobao felt relaxed and full of strength, and secretly added in his heart: Generations of ancestors have been ancestors of generations, and my wish is to marry the most beautiful woman.
Chen Mu glanced at Wei Xiaobao inadvertently. He was deeply touched by this man's cunning. If he was released to the Qing army, he would probably have many plots behind his back, so he could just follow him and supervise him.
"It's up to you, just don't capsize the boat."
After giving the unequivocal instruction, Chen Mu turned and walked towards the darkness. Jiangnan was overjoyed, found a thorn stick, and threatened Wei Xiaobao: "Get up, don't try to play tricks, otherwise, humph, I will let you know what the pain of flesh and blood is."
Wei Xiaobao looked happy and was about to stand up when he bent down again: "Senior sister, there is mud on your shoes. Let me lick them clean for you."
"Hey~, can you stop talking and disgusting me? Come on, hurry up."
Jiang Nan wrinkled his nose in disgust and waved the thorn stick to drive the man away. Then he ran to Chen Mu and whispered with great interest: "Boss, did you hear that just now? He actually wanted to lick my shoes. It's so perverted. I seriously suspect that he has some kind of hobby. Do you want to Be careful."
Chen Mu subconsciously glanced back. Wei Xiaobao was walking unsteadily on the wet and slippery grass, seemingly unaware of his gaze. So, he looked sideways and responded: "His body is swaying but his steps are orderly. He is pretending to be incompetent, and his attention is always on you, so you have to be careful."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Nan pursed his lips and stopped talking, lowering his head in thought.
The three of them were speechless and walked quietly in the dark night. The sound of Shuoxuo's footsteps could be heard far away. After an unknown amount of time, a deep darkness appeared in front of him. Based on his experience in the field over the past few days, Jiang Nan recognized it as the entrance of the cave at a glance.
"Master, we have secured a place to stay tonight."
Perhaps because he was too sleepy, Jiang Nan ran ahead excitedly. It really is a cave with a small entrance. Once you enter, you realize that the space inside is quite large.
"Scumbag, go find some hay and lay the ground."
When Chen Mu arrived, Jiang Nan had already finished checking, took the package, and ordered Wei Xiaobao to pack hay, planning to lay a thick layer of it as a bed.
Hay is hard to find on a midsummer night, not to mention the demand in Jiangnan is extremely high. Wei Xiaobao was born into a poor family, but with his clever mind, he had a good life since he was a child. Especially after entering the palace, he was well clothed and well-fed. How could he ever do such hard work at night?
However, no matter how hard and tired you are, if you can get a smile from a beautiful woman, that is happiness.
Unfortunately, the truth is always cruel.
Wei Xiaobao was very busy, fell down countless times, left countless injuries on his body, and worked hard to find enough hay. In exchange, Jiang Nan said: "Master, this is yours, this is mine, who cares?" Who is the beast?"
After saying that, Jiang Nan lay down comfortably and took a deep breath to express his comfort. He kept telling him: "Scumbag, keep watch at the entrance of the cave. No matter what sound you hear, you are not allowed to come in."
Wei Xiaobao's face turned red with anger, and his tired body was filled with the power of anger. He gritted his teeth and said goodbye with lowered eyes of hatred: "Your Highness, sleep in peace, the imperial concubine, Xiaobao is waiting outside at any time."
Thinking that the woman he loved was entangled with his damn love rival, still in the warm nest he had built with his own blood and sweat, while he had to watch the two of them outside in the cold wind, Wei Xiaobao's heart was bleeding and painful. He secretly scolded the other party three hundred times, and then comforted himself: Xiaobao, you have to cheer up, you are one step closer to winning the beauty's heart.
Inside the cave, the fire was gradually extinguished. Chen Mu still leaned in his original position and remained unmoved. He closed his eyes and said in concentration, "You are teasing him like this, aren't you afraid that he will lose his patience and seal the entrance of the cave?"
"Haha, he's such a scumbag. He's so smart that he really thinks that everyone else is stupid? As long as I'm still in this dream world, he can't be the protagonist."
"Is he a scumbag?"
"you do not say!"
At this point, Jiang Nan obviously became interested. He opened his big bright eyes in the darkness, propped himself up and patted the empty space next to him and said: "Boss, please come back to sleep. Let's talk when we get close."
You don’t know, this bastard had all kinds of obscene drugs on him and raped seven women together, specializing in abducting young girls from good families. I am fighting for women’s injustice. "
"You also said that he is the protagonist, and this dream world may be the result of all his wealth. We are just passers-by, don't go too far."
"Well, you are the boss and you have the final say."
As he promised, Jiang Nan's mind was already racing: Yes, this is a dream, not bound by real laws, I can do whatever I want, hahaha!
Advising Jiangnan to be kind to Wei Xiaobao, Chen Mu didn't have any sympathy. He was a dream interpreter, and he always regarded dream characters as illusions. When he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to analyze everything in the dream world without an owner. The reason for this is that he does not want his identity to be exposed, because the enemy is still in this world, and is probably hiding around him. If Jiang Nan goes too far, he will definitely be suspected.
When everything fell into darkness, Chen Mu's mental power was still active. This is his advantage. He can use his mental power to detect the plants and trees around him without anyone noticing, and determine whether the other party is a dream master in disguise. If it were a dream master to do it, they could only use dream power to possess them one by one, and investigate through physical contact, risking identity exposure.
Fortunately, after going around, Chen Mu found that everything around him was woven by dream power, and there was no sign of the original dream power hiding.
