"Then pay more attention to yourself." Zhao Yue said, "I will guard you on the beam."
"Fang Liang?" Wen Liunian frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Don't worry." Zhao Yue said, "I will naturally do what I promised you. The brothers of the Mu family are scheming. If I stay, there will be more people to protect you."
"I'm not afraid of this." Wen Liunian shook his head, "It's just that you will be in danger."
"If you don't keep looking up, no one will find me." Zhao Yue said.
"Alright." Wen Liunian agreed, "Then you have to be careful."
Zhao Yue nodded, and after helping him put on his robe, he jumped onto the beam.
Wen Liunian straightened his collar and sent someone to invite Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong over.
Hua Tang was still looking for some excuse to send the two away, but she didn't expect Wen Liunian to meet, so she followed along.
"The two masters." Wen Liunian leaned against the head of the bed sickly, his face was pale, and he looked very weak.
"Master Wen, lie down quickly." Mu Wanlei stepped into the room, obviously very surprised.
Zhao Yue lurks on the beam of the house, secretly clenching the handle of Jiyue's knife—killing his father and enemy is just around the corner, and those scarlet memories of the past flooded out like a tide, passing through his mind, and the back of his hand couldn't help but bruise.
"I heard rumors in the barracks earlier, so I thought it was just a rumor." Mu Wanlei tentatively asked, "Is it true that your lord was injured by a zombie?"
Wen Liunian nodded, "Yes."
Mu Wanlei was a little puzzled, "In the middle of the night, why did your lord go to the Cangwu Mountain?"
Wen Liunian said, "I just want to inspect it."
Muwanlei: …
Is it because of this reason? !
"From Protector Zuo, that zombie is called Wild Puppet, and he is from the same village as the two owners." Wen Liunian spoke very slowly.
Mu Wanlei froze for a moment, and said, "I was still discussing this matter with Guardian Zuo just now."
"Oh?" Wen Liunian recovered a little bit, "Then what's the result?"
"The wild puppet is indeed a thing of Miaojiang." Mu Wanlei said, "But it has been extinct for many years, and for some reason it suddenly appeared in the Cangwu Mountain."
Wen Liunian said, "Guard Zuo said the same thing."
"Master Mu just said one more thing." Hua Tang said.
"What's the matter?" Wen Liunian asked.
Hua Tang said, "The Tiger Head Gang is very likely to have connections with Miao Jiang."
"Really?" Wen Liunian's eyes lit up.
Zhao Yue thought on the beam, bookworms are really good at acting.
Hua Tang nodded, "I didn't think about it when I spied out that day, but after being reminded by the owner Mu this time, if I think about it again, maybe it really is."
"If the Tiger Head Gang is really related to the Miaojiang sect, then the wild puppet that appeared out of thin air in the Cangwu Mountain can also explain it clearly." Wen Liunian said, "From my point of view, it is very possible."
"Then what is your lord going to do next?" Mu Wanxiong seized the opportunity to ask.
Wen Liunian said, "Strengthen the guard."
Mu Wanxiong almost growled, why is he always the guard guard guard guard guard
Wen Liunian said, "After I recover from my injury, I will discuss it in the long run."
"My lord, I'm afraid I have to save some preparations." Mu Wanxiong said in a side note, "If it is really the Tiger Head Gang who are behind the scenes, it is absolutely impossible to just raise one or two. If the government doesn't think of a way to break them earlier , I’m afraid that hundreds of wild puppets will run out of the mountain together, and the common people will suffer greatly.”
"What the Second Villa Master means is that wild puppets will not exist alone, and there may be a large group in the mountains?" Wen Liunian turned pale again when he heard this.
"That's right." Mu Wanxiong nodded.
Wen Liunian said, "If that's the case, then you can't act rashly."
Mu Wanxiong: ...
Why not attack overnight? !
"If there are bandits living in the mountain, a strong attack is acceptable, but if the other party has a bunch of monsters, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage if we confronted them head-on?" Wen Liunian was worried, "Fortunately, the second village owner reminded me, otherwise I would still be in danger." Thinking about waiting for the injury to heal, I will see if I can think of a way to attack the mountain, and it is not a problem to keep procrastinating."
Mu Wanxiong felt tight in his chest. What kind of mentality did he have to say that? !
Huatang is a bit funny - ever since your lord came to this Cang'er Prefecture from Yunlan City, his choking skills seem to be on the rise again.
Wen Liunian propped himself up and leaned in, but felt that something was moving by his hand, so he lowered his head and glanced at it.
The red-armored wolf waved its tentacles and greeted him friendly.
Wen Liunian's face suddenly turned pale, and his hairs almost stood on end!
Come again? !
When Zhao Yue saw it on the beam, his whole body went cold. When did it run down? !
"What's the matter, my lord?" Huatang and the Mu brothers also noticed something strange about him.
The red-armored wolf moved its tentacles, intending to quickly climb onto the quilt.
Wen Liunian had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly held it under his hands, so as not to be discovered by Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong.
Zhao Yue opened his eyes wide in surprise, aren't he afraid
The surroundings instantly became pitch black, but the red armored wolf was very happy, thinking it was more fun than climbing under the quilt.
Feeling that it was rubbing its tentacles against his hand, Wen Liunian almost passed out.
"My lord, are you alright?" Huatang sat on the side of the bed, looking at him worriedly.
Wen Liunian said, "I suddenly feel a little... heart palpitations."
Huatang tested the pulse for him, "It should be that the Gu poison has not been cleared up, and my lord is weak, it will be better to rest for a while."
Wen Liunian said, "Okay."
"Then Mr. Wen should rest more, we won't bother you any more." Mu Wanlei stood up wisely, "Farewell."
"Farewell..." Wen Liunian couldn't help shivering.
Mu Wanxiong was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions.
When the two of them went out, Wen Liunian jumped off the bed before Huatang could ask him carefully, not even caring about the unhealed injury on his shoulder.
Hua Tang quickly supported him, "My lord, be careful."
Wen Liunian stood barefoot under the bed, his limbs were icy cold and his nerves were shattered.
I touched a big bug just now!
Touched a big bug!
A big bug!
Big bug!
The red-armored wolf is lying on the quilt, shaking its tentacles happily-wanting to play the game of being covered again!
Hua Tang: ...
Wen Liunian's knees felt weak.
Zhao Yue jumped down from the beam and reached out to support him.
Hua Tang was surprised, "Here is the head of Zhao?" She didn't realize it just now.
"Master has created a method of turtle's breath. If I want to hide it, no one will be able to find it." Zhao Yue took the initiative to explain, "So that's how it is." Hua Tang said, "I went back as a master."
The red armored wolf rolled to the ground and quickly crawled over, intending to stay in Zhao Yue's arms as usual.
Before Wen Liunian collapsed, Zhao Yue hugged him up and comforted him, "It's okay."
Huatang picked up the red-armored wolf.
…
"Tonight it will trouble Guardian Zuo," Zhao Yue said.
Huatang nodded, "No problem."
The red-armored wolf flicked its tentacles, feeling that the color of Huatang's clothes resembled his own.
Zhao Yue said, "Thank you."
"My lord is being polite, I just took it back to accompany the green-headed Gu king." Hua Tang said, "Then sir, rest early, I will come back tomorrow."
Wen Liunian's spirit was like gossamer, "Guardian Zuo also went to bed earlier."
Zhao Yue had a headache when he heard it. He must have been hungry for three days or something.
After Huatang left, Zhao Yue put Wen Liunian on the chair and sat down, took out the bedding from the cabinet, and helped him change all the things on the bed, "Is it all right this time?"
Wen Liunian commanded, "Change the pillows too."
Zhao Yue said, "The red armored wolf didn't climb onto the pillow."
Wen Liunian said, "Change, change!"
Zhao Dadao had no choice but to replace him.
After finally serving his ancestors to bed, Wen Liunian said again, "I haven't washed my hands yet."
Zhao Yue patiently asked for hot water, washed him with a towel, washed it once, washed it again, and finally painted it with Qingteng powder symbolically, and washed it for the last time.
Wen Liunian's hands were red.
Zhao Yue said, "It should be all right now."
Wen Liunian said, "Almost."
Zhao Yue: ...
The skin is almost falling off, or is it just about the same
Wen Liunian was sad and indignant, "Why don't you take it seriously?!"
Zhao Yue said, "I didn't pay attention."
Wen Liunian asked, "Has it been on your body?"
Zhao Yue hesitated and said, "Yes."
Wen Liunian was dizzy, "What about when you hug me?"
Zhao Yue said, "Yes."
Wen Liunian immediately shrank back into the bed, "Stay away from me from now on!"
Zhao Yue: ...
Wen Liunian was still rubbing his hands on the quilt.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Yue had a headache and was extremely puzzled.
Wen Liunian was confident, "Aren't bugs scary?!"
Zhao Yue gritted his teeth, "You've even seen zombies before."
Wen Liunian plausibly said, "Zombies are not bugs!"
Zhao Yue is so angry that he has no reason to talk to nerds!
Suddenly thinking about it, Master Zhao blurted out, "Zombies are also made in graves, how do you know there are no Gu worms on him?"
Hearing this, Wen Liunian was visibly stunned.
Zhao Yue: ...
Wen Liunian lowered his head slowly, and looked at the wound on his shoulder.
Zhao Yue wanted to bite his tongue, "Well, I was talking nonsense."
Wen Liunian's face turned from white to green, from green to black, and finally turned white again, and then he fainted softly.
A zombie covered in Gu worms scratched his shoulder...
The zombie covered with Gu worms scratched his shoulder...
Zombies...
Gu worm...
Shoulder…
"Hey!" Zhao Yue was so frightened that he hurried forward to hug him.
After a while, Huatang Xiaowu's dark guard and Lu Zhui, who had heard the news, all stood in the bedroom and looked at him with extremely condemning eyes.
The red-armored wolf squatted on Xiaowu's head and joined in the fun.
Zhao Yue was exhausted, "I know I was wrong."
"Your Excellency is actually quite courageous, but he is afraid of these things." Huatang said, "Just now he covered the red armored wolf with his hands, and his whole body was already chilled. How can the master scare him with Gu insects?"
That's it! The dark guards also nodded collectively. When they were in Yunlan City, the county government bought all kinds of insect repellents most frequently. Even earthworms can only stay in the garden. Mother-in-law, even if the lord doesn't eat or sleep, he still has to ask someone to trample him to death before giving up!
Lu Zhui was concerned, "Are you alright, sir?"
"It's fine, it's fine, but I'm afraid I'll have a headache after waking up." Hua Tang said, "I don't know how long it will take to recover."
Zhao Yue was extremely annoyed.
I must have been bewitched just now, and actually competed with bookworms for the benefit of tongue? !
After leaving a bottle of medicine, Huatang left the bedroom with everyone, and the culprit was naturally left to continue taking care of the patients. As for the red-armored wolf, everyone said that we can take turns raising it, and the boss should not touch it recently good!
Wen Liunian's eyelashes trembled in his dream, and he slept extremely unsteadily, obviously he was dreaming.
Zhao Yue leaned against the bed in distress and reached out to pat him on the back.
I don't know how to coax him when I wake up tomorrow morning.
In the military camp outside the city, Mu Wanxiong was extremely irritable, circling back and forth in the tent.
Mu Wanlei yelled, "Sit down!"
"You said he has nothing to do in his spare time, so why did he go to Cangwu Mountain in the middle of the night?" Mu Wanxiong sat hard on the chair, "He's just asking for his own death!"
Mu Wanlei was anxious and did not answer.
The disaster of the wild puppet was indeed controlled by him, secretly feeding the centipede Gu with blood and throwing it into the mass burial pit. Originally, he thought it would take at least half a month to complete, but he didn't expect that for some reason, a corpse would be killed first. After practicing well, not only ran to Cangwu Mountain, but also just happened to hurt Wen Liunian.
The prefect's injury means that the matter of suppressing the bandits will have to be postponed again. In addition to Mu Wanxiong's remarks tonight that "wild puppets cannot exist alone", even if all the corpses in the mass grave are resurrected in a few days, It will also be considered by the government that there are more in the mountains, and I am afraid that they will not act rashly. Thinking of this, my heart will inevitably become more stuffy and silted up.
However, Mu Wanxiong didn't know what to say, so he kept asking, "What do you think, brother?"
"How else can I see it?!" Mu Wanlei smashed a teacup severely.
Mu Wanxiong's face was stiff, and he turned around and left the big tent.
"Have you quarreled?" Not far away, Mu Qingshan had finished his inspection with Shang Yunze, and was about to go back to rest when he happened to see this scene.
"Nine times out of ten." Shang Yunze said, "The two of his brothers just went to the government office, so they should be popular again."
Mu Qingshan giggled.
"You can't be as treacherous as your lord." Shang Yunze led him into the tent.
"Great people are not treacherous, they are smart." Mu Qingshan said, "But I have never been smart."
"It's useless to be too smart, it's just right now." Shang Yunze said, "Not stupid or stupid, and not too clever to be annoying."
"Then you call me a nerd all day long." Mu Qingshan soaked his hands in hot water and washed his face.
"I called you a nerd because I like you." Shang Yunze said calmly from the side.
Mu Qingshan wiped his face with a towel, "That's not true, when I first entered school when I was a child, everyone called me Xiaoshanzi, there was only one fat, annoying guy who kept calling me a nerd!"
"How annoying?" Shang Yunze looked at him amusedly.
"I often copy my homework, grab my lunch, and pinch my face." Mu Qingshan said.
There was nothing wrong with hearing the first two sentences, but when it came to the last sentence, Master Shang immediately frowned, "Don't let others pinch your face!"
"I can't beat him." Mu Qingshan rinsed his mouth and mumbled, "And you often pinch my face."
Shang Yunze paused, and said, "I'm different from others."
"What's different?" Mu Qingshan wiped his mouth.
Shang Yunze thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good excuse, so he simply said, "In short, only I can pinch your face."
Mu Qingshan curled his lips, kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, to sleep.
After Shang Yunze finished washing, he squeezed beside him.
"Get down!" Mu Qingshan chased them away, "You clearly have a bed of your own!"
Shang Yunze said, "Do you want to go to the capital with me?"
"The capital?" Mu Qingshan was a little surprised when he heard the words, "What are you going to do in the capital?"
"Take a stroll." Shang Yunze said, "You can't stay in Cangwu City all the time, you should go to other places."
"Are you leaving?" Mu Qingshan looked at him, a little nervous.
Shang Yunze said, "Do you want me to go?"
Mu Qingshan shook his head, "Of course I don't want to."
Shang Yunze smiled, and helped him put his hair behind his ears, "I want to leave, but not now, but after the suppression of banditry is over, it won't be long, and I'll be back when I'm done."
"What are you going to do?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"For things on the business road, let's visit some old friends by the way." Shang Yunze said, "It's very interesting, how about we go together?"
The capital city... Mu Qingshan was a little moved, his knowledge was not outstanding, and his family was not considered wealthy, so he never thought about taking the imperial examination, but if he could go to the capital city, it would be a rare opportunity.
"I'll take it as your tacit consent?" Shang Yunze said, "You are not allowed to go back on your word."
"What about your lord?" Mu Qingshan asked hesitantly.
"Naturally, I will compensate him as a master to fill your vacancy for the time being." Shang Yunze said, "Besides, even if the people from Chasing Shadow Palace leave in the future, there will still be two masters, Chaomuya, and there will be no shortage of people by my lord's side. .”
"... Hmm." Mu Qingshan nodded hesitantly, "Then let me think about it."
Shang Yunze was in a good mood, he gently scratched the tip of his nose with his fingers, "Go to sleep."
Mu Qingshan blushed a little, turned his back to him, his heart was beating very fast.
Shang Yunze waved his hands to turn off the lights, but did not return to his bed.
Although it's the end of spring, the mountain pass is still very cold. It's obviously warmer when two people are huddled together...
Early the next morning, birds were chirping in the government office yard, Wen Liunian stretched his waist with one hand, opened his eyes and stared at the top of the bed in a daze.
Zhao Yue's face appeared in the sky.
Wen Liunian: ...
"Are you awake?" Master Zhao probed, and secretly hoped that he had already forgotten the nasty "joke" last night.
Wen Liunian looked at him for a moment, and then his face turned pale again.
"Hey!" Zhao Yue knew for the first time what it means to cry without tears, why can't he forget it!
Wen Liunian shivered.
"I was talking nonsense last night, don't take it seriously." Zhao Yue said quickly, "The wild puppet's severed arm was recovered by Lu Zhui that day. The skin is extremely delicate, and it is even cleaner than my hands."
Wen Liunian felt dizzy and felt dizzy.
"It's true." Zhao Yue helped him up and sat down, "Everyone said last night that I didn't know the seriousness of joking, so it's not an example."
"What about the red-armored wolf?" Wen Liunian asked.
"At Lu Zhui's place." Zhao Yue quickly separated the relationship.
"You're really not by your side?" Wen Liunian obviously didn't believe it.
"I'm really not here." Zhao Yue tore open his skirt, "Look if you don't believe me."
Wen Liunian probed, and pressed his chest with his hands through his coat.
Xiao Wu just came in with a bowl of medicinal porridge.
Zhao Dadao's clothes are wide open.
Wen Liunian was caressing his chest.
Both of them turned to look at him.
Xiao Wu said calmly, "I don't know why, I've been a little dazzled recently, and I often can't see things clearly."
Wen Liunian said with concern, "Then you have to take the medicine quickly, you can't delay."
"That's right." Xiao Wu took a step forward, fumbled to put the porridge and rice on the table, then turned around and left quickly.
Although the acting skills are very jerky, it also expresses the basic theme of "I didn't see anything".
The mascot on the roof expressed relief.
"Look, there really isn't one." Zhao Yue continued.
Wen Liunian moved his hands up and down, touching his chest, not even letting go of his waist.
Zhao Yue said, "How?"
Wen Liunian sighed, "The head of the family is in pretty good shape."
Zhao Yue: ...
Dare to touch it for a long time, isn't it touching the red armored wolf
Wen Liunian withdrew his hand calmly, "Don't scare me again in the future."
Zhao Yue nodded, and said to himself, how dare I, a room full of people took turns to criticize, luckily I didn't go back last night, otherwise I might have to be talked about by Lu Zhui for most of the night.
Wen Liunian said, "The red-armored wolf can't run around."
Zhao Yue said, "I will be optimistic about it."
Wen Liunian added, "Don't carry the red-armored wolf when you hug me."
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, listening to this means... Do you still want to hug her in the future
"Huh?" Wen Liunian looked at him.
Zhao Yue continued to nod, "Okay."
"That's all for the time being." Wen Liunian said, "If I think of it later, I'll fill it in."
While helping him check the wound, Zhao Yue agreed to everything, and then helped him wash and change his clothes, and he didn't realize anything until he was feeding breakfast.
—Why should I listen to nerds so much
I just can't figure it out.
