At the foot of the city wall, Xiong Er and a general came up to inspect the situation. They complained as they walked. Ever since Wu Yunzhu helped to recapture fifteen cities in succession, it seemed that Pei Xiyuan only had Wu Yunzhu in his eyes and could not see them, his old subordinates and generals.
You have to know that it was not Wu Yunzhu's own strength that was needed to recapture the city. The Yue Kingdom's soldiers also suffered heavy casualties in the battle between the two armies. But Pei Xiyuan now only relies on Wu Yunzhu, which makes them feel extremely aggrieved.
Moreover, a group of upright generals headed by Xiong Er also felt that this was an unfair victory. They preferred to win the war by fighting with real guns and relying on hard power, rather than relying on a witch!
Yes, they also privately called Wu Yunzhu a witch, hating her for seducing Pei Xiyuan. Even the national teacher Nanuoshen was no longer favored by Pei Xiyuan.
The two men were complaining all the way, and when they were halfway up the stone steps, they heard a dull sound. They both thought that the Yan army was coming to attack the city, so they ran up and saw several soldiers kneeling on the ground. When they looked up again, they saw an old man with a Taoist appearance and a gaunt face standing steadily on a beam of white light.
"Nan Xiang? It's Nan Xiang!" Xiong Er knew Blind Liu, so without a word, he immediately knelt on one knee with one hand across his chest and shouted, "Xiong Er greets Nan Xiang. I wonder what Nan Xiang is doing here?"
The other general also knew that Pei Xiyuan was able to ascend the throne of the Moon Emperor because of the advice of Prime Minister Yan Chao, so he also knelt on one knee.
Blind Liu, his sleeves fluttering, had already landed on the tower. He sheathed his sword and said in a cold voice, "I have come here for someone. You should know who I want to see. Lead the way."
Xiong Er was an honest man, but not stupid either. He didn't mention any names, so it could only be Wu Yunzhu. Although he was curious about why Blind Liu wanted to see Wu Yunzhu, he didn't ask any further questions. He just said, "Please come with me, Nan."
Wu Yunzhu was currently playing chess with Pei Xiyuan in the front yard of Jishui County Government Office. Beside the table stood a pot of Yunshan Cui, which was the one Pei Xiyuan had bought from Dingxian Village that year and had treasured until now.
Pei Xiyuan is a person with extremely deep scheming. After spending some time with Wu Yunzhu, he felt that what he felt towards her was not love, but murderous intentions. In fact, Wu Yunzhu's abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people. Not only did she have an amazing capacity for alcohol, but her chess skills were also superb. The more she showed her talents, the more frightened Pei Xiyuan became.
In front of her, Pei Xiyuan felt like he was being crushed into powder. He didn't like the feeling of being crushed into the dust by her. As an emperor, he wanted supremacy and all the people in the world to submit to him!
In addition, he had to be on guard because Wu Yunzhu had other plans. He wanted to use their Yue Kingdom's soldiers to dominate the world, and then replace him after taking over the Central Plains!
He would never allow such a thing to happen. In the past few days, in addition to reorganizing the troops, he was racking his brains every day to find ways to trick Wu Yunzhu. His mind was not on the game at all. He held a chess piece as if thinking about where to place it, but in fact he was thinking about how to trick Wu Yunzhu into revealing his weak spot.
"Yunzhu..." He was about to ask her when Xiong Er's voice rang out from outside, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yan Chaonan wishes to see the Heavenly Master."
Pei Xiyuan gave Wuyunzhu the title of Heavenly Master, who was above the National Master.
"Nan Xiang? Is it Nan Yangzi?" Wu Yunzhu's eyes darkened. Among the three disciples, only Nan Yangzi liked to listen to her history stories. In order to kill time, she was occasionally willing to talk about the past and present with him. She knew that Nan Yangzi had a heart to save the world and the people, and wanted to make a difference in the troubled times!
Back then, it was precisely because Nanyangzi had lofty ambitions, was full of vigor and vitality, and was always concerned about the country and the people that Wuyunzhu saw a bit of Gu Shuyu's shadow in him, so Wuyunzhu devoted much more effort to him than Feng Qingzi.
"Yes, do you still recognize him?" Pei Xiyuan asked with raised eyebrows.
"He is my disciple." Wu Yunzhu stood up and walked straight towards the gate. If it were any other concubine of Pei Xiyuan, she would have asked for his opinion and would have bowed to him even when leaving. She would never have looked down on him like Wu Yunzhu did.
How could Wu Yunzhu, who traveled from the modern era, remember these rules? If she had eyes behind her head, she would have seen the coldness in Pei Xiyuan's eyes. Unfortunately, she was still thinking about persuading Nan Yangzi to work for Pei Xiyuan.
"Where are the people?" The Nanyangzi in Wuyunzhu's mind was still the young man full of vigor and vitality. When she came out and saw only Xiong Er and an old man, she asked subconsciously. After asking, she realized that the old man next to Xiong Er was probably Nanyangzi.
"You are..." She glanced at Blind Liu's face, her tone uncertain, "Yang'er? Is that you?"
Wu Yunzhu looks exactly the same as she did back then. Although she appears to be much younger than Blind Liu, her mental age is dozens of times that of Liu. She calls him "Yang'er" very naturally, but Xiong Er feels very uncomfortable when hearing it. He doesn't understand what her relationship with Nan Xiang is. He is even more disgusted that she dares to call Nan Xiang like that.
"Master." Tears welled up in Blind Liu's eyes. The master was still the same as he remembered, and his voice hadn't changed. He didn't feel any sense of disobedience when he heard the name "Yang'er", but he felt sad in his heart.
Xiong Er was startled by the call of "Master". He touched his chin and looked at Wu Yunzhu and Blind Liu respectively, his mind a mess.
Nan Xiang’s master turned out to be this witch?
Yuuji is a bit messy.
"Long time no see, Yang'er. You've aged." Wu Yunzhu felt a little touched. The studious and ambitious young man had transformed into a shabby old man in the blink of an eye. "Where are Aqing and Xin'er? Are they okay? Why didn't they come with you?"
"Master, can you please move aside? I have something to say to you."
"I have something to tell you, too. Let's go to the backyard garden and talk. Follow me."
"Master, please stay." Blind Liu bowed and said, "It would be better to find a quiet place."
Wu Yunzhu narrowed her eyes slightly, then she remembered that Blind Liu had come to see her specially, and that he hadn't shown any emotion when he saw her just now. The warmth in her eyes cooled slightly, and her voice became a little colder. "Have you met Wu Ya and Jian Ning?"
"No, her name should be Duan Xinning now. You've met her, right? You want to betray me and go against me like her, right?"
"Master, please move aside." There was no expression on Liu Xiazi's face. He was still thinking about doing his duty as a disciple and trying his best to persuade Wu Yunzhu. The Yue Kingdom joined forces with the other two countries to invade the Central Plains, which was an invasion. Wu Yunzhu's help to the Yue Kingdom was aiding and abetting the evil. As a disciple, if he could persuade her not to turn against her, it would naturally be the best.
"There's nothing to say. Either you stay and remain my disciple, or you break off with me like she did, and I'll pretend I never adopted you, ungrateful bastards! Right now, it's easy for me to kill you, but considering our relationship as master and disciple, I'll let you go. One day on the battlefield, use the skills I taught you. I want to see if you can surpass me!"
"Get out!" She flicked her long sleeves and raised her foot to leave, but Blind Liu swayed and blocked her way.
