Before coming to Xuanlong, Qin Fangtian said that this trip was extremely dangerous and the Zhao family would never miss the opportunity to kidnap hostages, so he asked the clan leader to tighten his belt and not die in a foreign country.
If you insist on studying the great principles of yin and yang, then you'll have to make do with that person's daughter, that person.
Lu Bei didn't believe it at the time. Xuanlong was a big country in the northern border, and every member of the Zhao family had white hair. They were a respectable royal family. How could they make such nonsense without any evidence
If you say you don't believe it, then don't believe it, unless you take hostages in front of him.
Now he believed that Zhao Wuxie had no good intentions and even went to great lengths to move out the white-haired member of his clan to act as the robber.
The woman's red dress flutters, her figure flows, the mist under her feet ripples, and she looks like a dancing swan. Her eyebrows are outlined with a black brush, and a touch of rose-red cinnabar is used to make a lotus. She is cold and charming, and every frame of her dance is beautiful.
It was beautiful, but it also made Lu Bei think of some bad things.
If I remember correctly, last year when he was carrying out the Xuanyinsi mission in Yuezhou, his eldest brother Hu San dressed up as a charming woman in red palace dress.
Thinking of this, the way I looked at the dancer in red again seemed awkward.
Can you change your clothes? Red is distracting, so it would be fine if you don’t wear anything!
The sleeves were fluttering, the dance skirt was gorgeous, the dancer was in the middle, her waist was leaning back, her pretty face was half covered by the pipa, her clear eyes glanced at Lu Bei slightly, and she saw a rather strange expression.
Lu Bei: …
The dancer was slightly stunned. His expression looked more like distraction than fascination.
No way, can I be distracted by this
The song ended, the colorful dress fell off, the illusory mist disappeared along with the music, and the dancer bowed and retreated, disappearing behind the screen.
"Sect Master Lu...Sect Master Lu?"
The clear sound of the piano started again. Zhao Wuxie waved his folding fan and saw Lu Bei staring at the direction where the dancer left. He raised his wine glass to hide the smile on his face.
This is a sure thing.
"Sorry, I was distracted and thought about some sad things."
Lu Bei raised his hands to cover his face, feeling that he was probably sick. He couldn't sleep at night anyway. He sat up and lit a cigarette. He felt sad for no reason. He looked at the naked Bai Jin and She Xuan sadly. One was very beautiful, and the other was also very beautiful.
The bad thing is that the two of them are obviously no match for the stinky fox.
Looking at Zhan Hongqu who was sulking on the side, he shook his head again. This wouldn't work either, unless the three of them came together.
"Master Lu, I suddenly remembered..."
"I remembered that I have a batch of pills to make at home. I calculated that it's time to go back and make the pills. He doesn't have time to accompany me around. I have no choice but to let the dancer accompany me, right?" Lu Bei took over the conversation skillfully.
"Ah, this..."
Zhao Wuxie smiled awkwardly and raised his fan to cover half of his face: "Since Sect Master Lu insists on doing this, I can only respectfully obey your order."
"That's not necessary. The dancer is very good, but this sect master is known for not being interested in women. It's better for Brother Zhao to accompany me."
"… "
These words sounded strange, and even Zhan Hongqu glanced at Lu Bei subconsciously. Lu Bei reacted in time and told Zhao Wuxie not to misinterpret the meaning of his words. He just didn't like women, not that he was not interested in them.
During the banquet, Lu Bei ate with a sad face, lamenting that his illness was too serious and he needed the help of several beauties, preferably in the swimming pool of his cousin's house. If they were honest with each other, the treatment would be more effective.
Since the disease could not be cured, he could only reluctantly turn the eldest brother into the eldest sister.
To others, especially Zhao Wuxie, this look meant that the food and wine were boring and he wanted to change his appetite but was too embarrassed to speak up because there were so many people around.
Coincidentally, he also felt that too many people were a nuisance.
After the banquet, Zhan Hongqu lowered his head in a sullen voice, while Zhan Lexian patted his daughter's shoulder happily, looking very proud and pleased with himself. He seemed like an old general on the stage.
Mu Lichen did not drink a drop of wine and did not move his chopsticks at all during the whole process. At the moment, he was accompanying Lu Bei and was determined not to give the sect leader a chance to learn the local dialect of Xuanlong.
"Master Lu, I have another request. Can you please move over to discuss it with me?" Zhao Wuxie closed his folding fan and pointed outside the cabin.
After he finished speaking, Zhan Hongqu glanced at Lu Bei quickly, and then quickly looked away.
She said sourly that she was just an ordinary female disciple, and what the sect leader thought or did had nothing to do with her.
"Let's talk about it here." Sensing Senior Sister Zhan's displeasure, Lu Bei refused to go outside the cabin to trade.
"It's hard to talk about the Zhao family's private affairs."
…
Outside the cabin, Zhao Wuxie looked at the vast waves, brewing his emotions for a while, and asked with pity: "Master Lu, do you know who that dancer was just now?"
"I don't know, but seeing her white hair... What this Sect Master means is that seeing her silver hair flying, she is obviously a member of the Zhao clan."
"Yes, her original name was Zhao Wuyou, and her biological father, Zhao Fangjin, is an elder in my clan."
Zhao Wuxie sighed and told a sad story.
Lu Bei listened to it, ignored the emotional words, and reorganized it, which was roughly as follows:
Xuanlong, except for the emperor, the ruler of a country, the clan does not have any titles such as prince, princess, or prince. Those who have achieved success in cultivation are all enlisted in the army and earn military merits based on their abilities.
Zhao Fangjin has been guarding the border for many years and has resisted the demon tribe hundreds of times. He has outstanding military achievements and is deeply loved by the local people. The emperor also holds him in high esteem.
But in war, there is no such thing as a general who always wins. In the end, everyone will be defeated.
Zhao Fangjin was very unlucky. He lost the battle to defend the city, and the city was swept through by a tide of demon beasts. Hundreds of thousands of lives in the city were killed and eaten by the demons.
When a city catches fire, the fish in the pond will suffer as well.
When a city is broken, the surrounding areas will naturally be affected, not to mention the scattered villages. The demon army tore through the defense line and rushed all the way. It took Xuanlong half a year to plug the gap.
In this battle, the casualties and losses were so great, every name and every line of numbers were shocking.
Although Zhao Fangjin could not be blamed entirely for this battle, as he was attacked by several powerful monsters, no other city could have been defended either. He himself died in the battlefield. When the city was breached, he led the crowd to block the gate and was killed by the monsters. He died a heroic death for his country.
But whether it is right or wrong, someone has to stand up and bear the consequences.
The emperor issued an edict to strip Zhao Fangjin's family of their surnames and remove their names from the family tree. The men in the family were demoted to slavery and the women were sent to music schools.
The good news is that Zhao Fangjin spent his entire life in military service, his wife died early, and he didn't have the time to marry a second wife. He worked day and night to continue the family line, so he only had one daughter, Zhao Wuyou, and he didn't have to worry about his son becoming a slave or cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The bad news is that due to the high pressure in Xuanlong, the entertainment industry is relatively developed. With Zhao Wuyou's appearance, he would be a good candidate for a model worker if he was sent to the teaching troupe.
Fortunately, the emperor did not intend to do it for real. He gave the order and immediately ordered people to take Zhao Wuyou away and keep her in the palace as a female official, thus saving her the tragedy of being unable to sleep during the day and unable to get up at night for the rest of her life.
In this way, an explanation was given to the front-line defenders as well as the people of Xuanlong. Except for Zhao Wuyou, whose life was not easy, everyone else felt fine. It could be considered the best of both worlds.
The story ends here and is then divided into two versions.
According to the superficial version, Zhao Wuxie felt sorry for his cousin who was always bullied in the palace, so he gave her to Lu Bei and asked him to take her out of Xuanlong. His requirements were not high, just to make sure she didn't starve and to provide her with three meals a day.
In the private version, Zhao Wuxie coveted the bloodline of the Immortal Sword Master and wanted to find a female cultivator of the Zhao family with outstanding qualifications to rape.
Originally, Zhao Wuxia was a good choice. The White-haired Girl had met Lu Bei in the Yiliang Secret Realm and had been abducted by Lu Bei for quite a while. The two had a certain emotional foundation.
But when he thought about the fact that Lu Bei had returned the jade intact to Zhao State, he probably wouldn't like this, so he replaced him with Zhao Wuyou.
Zhao Wuxie promised that as long as she could complete the tasks assigned by the organization and capture one or two little white-haired boys, she would clear her father Zhao Fangjin's name, erect a monument with his name on it, and restore him to the Zhao family tree.
This was a rare opportunity, so Zhao Wuyou nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
"Master Lu, I can't bear to see her being looked down upon, not well fed, not warmly clothed, and bullied everywhere in the palace. Please be kind and take her away." Zhao Wuxie sighed.
“No way, she has already reached the fusion stage, she doesn’t need to eat, she is immune to cold or heat, and she doesn’t care about food or clothing. She thinks it’s unfair to be looked down upon?” Lu Bei couldn’t help but complain. Looking around the world, who in the fusion stage didn’t accumulate resources? How could she be bullied? She should be cared for in every way.
If we really want to talk about being looked down upon, it is because Zhao Wuxie has never met the Grand Tutor, so he, Lu, has the most say.
“Sect Master Lu, Wuyou may be very powerful in Wu Zhou at the beginning of her fusion, but she is not considered a genius in Xuan Long, especially in the palace. She has a hard time everywhere. You can’t imagine the grievances she has suffered.”
It is indeed unimaginable, because it does not exist at all.
Lu Bei was too tired to complain. What should he say? Zhao Wuyou was so young, only 18+∞ years old, but his hair turned white overnight due to crying
For a moment, Lu Bei felt deeply that the rumors were misleading. A gentleman like him was labeled a pervert by a treacherous villain, so much so that Zhao Wuxie was too lazy to make up a story and just found an excuse to stuff the beauty into his arms.
It's hateful. It must be Qing Gan and Qi Yangan who spread rumors everywhere, and there is an 80% chance that the Huangji Sect is secretly fanning the flames.
At this moment, Lu Bei really wanted to tell Zhao Wuxie that liking someone and liking someone are two different things.
As a person with great love in his heart, he will fall in love with someone before he falls in love with someone else. He will not fall in love with someone just for the sake of falling in love with someone.
Therefore, there is no need to seduce him. Instead of wasting time on these useless things, it is better to find a strong white-haired woman who is tough and experienced. Maybe he will be interested in her.
Also, this person is so extraordinary!
What is the early stage of fusion? He might be very powerful in Wu Zhou, but he is not a genius in Xuan Long. He is also in the early stage of fusion, but he still defeated Dugu, one of the three evil sword villains.
Thinking of the three villains, Lu Bei immediately perked up. Since he was already here, he might as well gain some experience.
"Brother Zhao, I miss Dugu. If he's not available, the other two villains... can you help introduce them?" Lu Bei rubbed his hands.
"This is... difficult. They are all busy."
"Let's make the arrangements. Our sect leader lost the fight, so no matter how many sisters Brother Zhao offers, I will accept them all."
"… "
What do you mean? One is not enough for you
Zhao Wuxie's eyes widened. He had never seen such a shameless person before. He snorted angrily, "Sect Master Lu, are you serious?"
"really."
"That's settled then!"
