Chapter 303: The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (Part 7)
On the top of the mountain, the emperor, who was dozing with his chin supported by one hand, frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and looked at the person not far away.
The young man in white was lowering his head, and the smooth lines of his white neck were hidden in the collar, like the finest white jade.
The breeze slowly lifted his hair, revealing his straight and long eyelashes, his thin lips as red as blood, and his profile with a beauty that transcended gender.
He sat quietly on the top of the mountain, gently stroking the strings of the piano, the lingering sound. Although he was wearing a plain white robe, he seemed to have all the colors in the world.
Yue Wu gradually became distracted and involuntarily stood up from her chair and walked slowly to the man's side.
The other person's slender fingers slid across the strings, and his fingertips were white and clean like a handful of snow, attracting people to touch and play with it, but when he stretched out his hand, the white palm retracted first.
The man stood up with a graceful demeanor and called softly, "Your Majesty."
Unable to hold his hand as she wished, Yue Wu stared at the still vibrating strings, and her heart became more and more itchy.
He tilted his head to look at her: "No need to be polite, beauty. I am just a little curious and came to take a look."
Jiang Feng sat back down upon hearing this, raised his slender swan neck, and asked with a smile, "What are you curious about, Your Majesty?"
Yue Wu leaned over, her eyes fixed on his beautiful face. "My beauty, the zither music just now was out of tune. Why?"
Jiang Feng lowered his eyes and covered half of his face with his sleeve, as if he was smiling.
After a few seconds, he pointed down the mountain and said, "I just saw a pedestrian passing by below. He was handsome, but he was a young man with an eye disease. I felt a little sorry for him."
Even though Jiang Feng was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, she never called herself a concubine and always regarded herself as a minister.
However, these had all been approved by Yue Wu and were considered privileges. Everyone had long been accustomed to it and did not show any surprise.
Upon hearing this, Yue Wu looked in the direction of his finger and vaguely saw a young man with a cloth covering his eyes. He sighed, "Indeed, beautiful women are truly kind-hearted..."
Halfway through his words, Yue Wu's voice paused. Looking at the miraculous scene below, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed from one of pity. He quickly took two steps forward, as if wanting to see it clearly.
Xiao Zhuzi, who was sitting here, saw the flash of fire and immediately cried out in surprise, "Brother Yu, you really know magic?"
Yu Huo secretly rolled his eyes under the fine cotton cloth, raised his hand, pinched a yellow talisman, and threw it forward again.
The talisman spontaneously combusted with a loud bang and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
He stood there with an unfathomable expression on his face: "Didn't you see everything? Why do you still say it's magic?"
Xiao Zhuzi uttered "Huh?" and his memory went back to yesterday when he was enjoying the cool breeze under the shade of a tree.
At that time, Brother Yu asked him to boil the animal bones he picked up, mix them with sand and heat them together, and collect something called white phosphorus.
At that time, the other party seemed to have smeared white phosphorus on the talismans.
Could it be that this thing can burn on its own because it is coated with white phosphorus?
Just before he wanted to ask, Yu Huo suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him and whispered softly, "Here it comes."
What's coming?
Xiao Zhuzi frowned in confusion, and the next second, two hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Two soldiers in light armor walked up to him aggressively, frightening him so much that his legs went limp and he fell on Yu Huo.
"Master, Master...Master, please spare my life..."
Fortunately, he was stable under the fire and was not crushed. He held the other person's arm and pushed him aside dissatisfiedly: "Don't be so arrogant, old man, just stand firm first!"
Xiao Zhuzi couldn't even smile. Seeing the two soldiers approaching them, he said in a deep voice, "You two, His Majesty invites you."
His Majesty!
When Xiao Zhuzi heard this word, he even forgot his fear. He seemed to have become an old man in an instant, shaking like a sieve.
Seeing that this dark and poor boy was scared, the two soldiers looked at each other, and each grabbed the other's arm and tried to pull them up the mountain.
Yu Huo hurriedly stopped them: "Two elder brothers, please wait a moment. This driver is hired by us, and now he has been summoned by His Majesty. Can I take the belongings in the carriage with me first?"
The soldier let go of his hand and said impatiently, "Then hurry up!"
The driver was so frightened that he was stunned. Seeing that his employer did not want to implicate him, he hurried forward to help the other party with the luggage.
After traveling for the past few days, the two of them have grown from one small burden to two small burdens.
Yu Huo has bought a lot of strange and unusual things along the way, and they are all in his bag. He can't lose them.
The two men were quite nimble. When the coachman whipped his horse and left, the soldier stepped forward and grabbed Yu Huo's arm again, dragging them to the top of the mountain.
It is called a mountain, but in fact it is just a small hill, about twenty meters high, almost level with the Genting Pavilion under construction.
The soldier who had dragged them up let go and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you kneel down?"
Xiao Zhuzi knelt down immediately, and Yu Huo beside him also knelt down quickly and kowtowed happily.
"I, Yuhuo, pay my respects to the king."
The only thing is that he was kneeling in the wrong direction, but this action further demonstrated that he was indeed blind.
Xiao Zhuzi imitated him and greeted the king, thinking while feeling afraid.
Brother Yu is really good at pretending!
Yue Wu was in a good mood and didn't care about these things. He raised his hand and said, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing the two of them stand up, Yue Wu couldn't help but ask, "Are you from other places?"
Xiao Zhuzi couldn't even utter a word. Yu Huo didn't intend to count on him, so he pretended to listen and nodded in response, "Your Majesty, I came from Sishui Pass with my companions."
"Isn't Sishuiguan a border pass?" Yue Wu frowned, looking thoughtful. "Why did you come all the way to the capital?"
"travel."
This answer was a bit surprising, and Yue Wu began to look at the other person calmly.
Just now, he saw from afar that this person could light fire out of thin air, and he couldn't help but have a suspicion in his heart, and asked: "Are you wandering sorcerers?"
"Your Majesty, that is correct."
As soon as Yu Huo finished speaking, a very familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Your Majesty, I just saw this sorcerer create fire out of thin air. I don't know if it was due to my eyesight. Could you please ask him to demonstrate it again?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuzi secretly glanced at the person who spoke, and then he stood there as if he had lost his soul, and for a moment he even forgot to look away.
So beautiful.
Before this, he couldn't imagine that a man could be so beautiful!
Even the other person's movements and demeanor seemed to have been carefully measured with a ruler, with every gesture, frown and smile showing their best self.
Yue Wu also thought so. With an infatuated look in his eyes, he immediately complied with the beauty's request and ordered Yu Huo: "Didn't you hear what the beauty said? Why don't you demonstrate it again!"
Yu Huo hurriedly nodded his head, took off the bag on his shoulder, and reached out to pinch out a talisman.
Just as he was about to throw it towards the place with strong sunlight, the owner of the voice just now spoke again, interrupting his actions.
"Wait, I saw you burning a talisman just now. How about burning a tree this time?"
