Chapter 663: King of the Southern Moon
Fang Wujiu translated Xiao Xixi's words into Nanyue dialect.
After Yue Gang finished listening, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He suspected that the two outsiders came here on purpose to disgust him, but he had no evidence.
When the fragrant snake soup was served on the table, Yue Gang felt unhappy and had no appetite.
Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu had good appetites.
Both of them ate with gusto.
Yue Gang originally wanted to test the strength of these two people, but judging from the results, the strength of these two people was far stronger than he expected.
Even though he was very unhappy, he still endured it.
After eating and drinking, Yue Gang personally took Fang Wujiu and Xiao Xixi out of the village, accompanied by a team of twenty people, and headed to Dayue Village together.
Dayue Village is the largest of the 32 villages of Nanyue, and is also the place where the King of Nanyue lives.
A group of people walked through the dense forest.
There is a lot of miasma in the south, and there is miasma wherever they pass.
As a local, Yue Gang has been taking special medicines since he was a child, and his body has developed resistance to these miasma.
But Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu were outsiders, and it was their first time to come into contact with this miasma. Yue Gang did not remind them to take protective measures. Logically, they should have had poisoning reactions.
However, these two people acted as if nothing had happened, still moving as fast as the wind, and their speed was no slower than Yue Gang and others.
The more he saw this, the more suspicious he became about the origins of these two people, and the more cautious he became when facing them.
Five days later, they arrived at Dayue Village safely.
Perhaps because King Nanyue was seriously ill, the atmosphere in the entire Dayue Village was extremely tense.
After a series of investigations, Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu finally met the legendary King of Nanyue.
When seeing King Nanyue, Xiao Xixi was slightly stunned.
She originally thought that King Nanyue should be a man, but she didn't expect that he was actually a woman, and a very beautiful one at that.
King Nanyue looked to be in his thirties. He wore a dress embroidered with colorful phoenix flowers. He had a slender waist, a layered silver collar around his white neck, and an exquisite crown made of silver thread on his head.
Although she is not young, she has a mature charm unique to her age.
Even though she was seriously ill, looked very haggard and her face was pale, but a beauty is a beauty, and she still looks good even when she is sick.
But strangely, there were no tattoos on her body.
Yue Gang knelt on one knee and bowed his head in greeting.
Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu did not kneel down. Instead, they saluted to King Nanyue in the style of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
King Nanyue leaned on the couch, glanced at the three of them, and said lightly.
"No need to be polite."
What he spoke was actually Dasheng Mandarin, and his pronunciation was very standard, without any accent at all.
Yue Gang understood some simple Dasheng words, including the word "no need for courtesy".
He stood up and introduced the origins of Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu in Nanyue dialect.
King Nanyue nodded slightly and spoke in Nanyue dialect.
"It's hard for you to find these two people to treat me. You must have worked hard on the journey. You can go down and rest first."
Yue Gang bowed and retreated respectfully.
King Nanyue looked at Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu and asked in Dasheng official language.
"You two aren't traveling doctors, are you? What's the important matter that brought you all the way to Nanyue?"
This is a very impolite question.
It's just a matter of pointing at their noses and asking them what their intentions are.
Those Nanyue civilians might be easy to deceive, but the Nanyue King is not easy to fool.
Fang Wujiu did not hide anything and answered frankly.
"To be honest, we are here on the orders of our master to give you something."
King Nanyue frowned slightly: "Who is your master?"
Fang Wujiu: "Xuanjizi."
When King Nanyue heard these three words, he was stunned for a moment.
At that moment her mind seemed to go blank.
She quickly came to her senses, and a look of anger appeared on her pretty pale face.
"Is that guy still alive?!"
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t we be happy when seeing old friends and their descendants come to visit?
But what's with King Nanyue's reaction, as if he wishes Xuanjizi would die?
Fang Laogou is worthy of being Fang Laogou. He is still very calm and not panicked at all.
"My master is doing well now. He asked us to say hello to you on his behalf."
King Nanyue sneered, "He left so carefree back then, so everything must be fine. He must have several children, right? He's living a smooth life, and now he has the nerve to ask me if I'm okay? Look at me like this, do you think I'm living a good life?!"
Because she was too excited and couldn't catch her breath, she covered her chest and started coughing violently after she finished speaking.
In the end, he actually coughed up a trace of blood!
The maids were terrified when they saw this and hurriedly sent someone to call a doctor.
Fang Wujiu took the initiative to say, "I know medical skills, why don't you let me take a look at King Nanyue?"
The maids did not dare to make a decision and all looked at King Nanyue.
King Nanyue uttered three words weakly.
"No, get out!"
So Fang Wujiu and Xiao Xixi were driven out by the maid with cold eyes.
Soon the doctor came hurriedly.
There was a commotion in the house.
No one cared about Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu at this time, so the two of them just stood outside the door waiting.
Xiao Xixi asked in a low voice: "Big Brother, what is going on between Master and King Nanyue? Why did King Nanyue get so angry after hearing Master's name?"
Fang Wujiu sighed.
“I don’t know the details.
All I know is that the mission my master received back then was to take away Nanyue’s most precious treasure.
At that time, Master had several fellow disciples, but in the end, only Master successfully completed the task.
He brought the treasure back to Xuanmen, successfully took over the position of head, and swore an oath that he would never enter Nanyue again in his life.
When Xiao Xixi thought of King Nanyue's violent reaction just now, a 300,000-word melodramatic and abusive love story immediately emerged in her mind.
"Could it be that Master deliberately deceived King Nanyue's feelings in order to complete the mission?
After he got the treasure assigned for the mission, he dumped King Nanyue and returned to Xuanmen without mercy to take over the position of the head.
The reason why he vowed not to enter the Nanyue Kingdom in his life was because he felt guilty and did not dare to face the King of Nanyue.
King Nanyue has always remembered the experience of being deceived, and still gnashes his teeth in hatred when he thinks of it.
My old swan!
When I think about it this way, Master is simply a scumbag!"
Fang Wujiu looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You should read less storybooks."
Xiao Xixi took out the blue sachet from her arms and said worriedly.
“This should be the token of their love.
My master asked me to return it to King Nanyue. King Nanyue hates him so much, can he still accept it?
I'm afraid she will be so angry that she will vomit blood when she sees this thing, right?"
Fang Wujiu: "The grudge between them is probably not as simple as you think. You will give the sachet to Queen Nanyue later. It is up to her whether she accepts it or not. Let's do our best."
Xiao Xixi nodded: "That's the only way."
She originally thought that with the friendship between her master and King Nanyue, this trip would be smooth, but now it seems that she was too optimistic.
From now on, we can only take one step at a time.
