Chapter 241: Serving the Lord, Even at Death
Liu Ci was forced to explain, "These are the only things in the village. When we knew the master was coming, we were afraid that they would be too shabby and disappoint him, so..."
When they said this, the two grown men felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, it was the first time for the young lady to get into the bridal sedan chair and arrange all these things.
So maybe we overdo it and make it too grand.
Ming Xi laughed out loud, "So you guys decorated the wedding hall?" Then he added, "Those who don't know would think someone here is getting married."
Speaking of getting married, Mingxi subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhaoyue, then quickly looked away, with a blush on her ears.
Regarding the incredibly beautiful young man next to Lin Zhaoyue.
Apart from marveling at his beauty, Xie Chi and Liu Ci didn't think much of him.
Anyone who can stay by the master's side must be someone who is valued by the master.
Moreover, she is so beautiful, maybe she is the master's sweetheart.
So they were also more respectful to Mingxi.
Lin Zhaoyue also smiled. "Since I came to see you, there's no need for you to worry so much. However, you guys are still thoughtful. It's rare for a bunch of grown men like you to be so thoughtful."
This made Xie Chi and Liu Ci very happy.
Both of them scratched their heads embarrassedly.
In fact, these two people are only like this in front of Lin Zhaoyue.
If it happened in front of his subordinates, he would never see such a scene.
Who among the Eighteen Valleys of Jiuzhaigou doesn’t know the reputation of the three leaders of Duanyun Village?
Especially the boss, his roar was like a lion's roar.
The whole village was shaking.
The second in command, Xie Chi, is a martial arts expert and has killed many people.
The third in command is a smiling tiger and ruthless.
But now in front of Lin Zhaoyue, they all looked like young men who had just graduated from school.
At this time, the boss Gu Zhao, who had temporarily left the meeting hall, went out to find a bucket of water and then drank it.
In order to speak more gently to the Lord.
But he is so tired.
He knew his master's identity and was afraid that his loud voice would offend him.
Moreover, the master is a precious person and speaks softly.
He picked it up subconsciously.
This really pinched him.
When Gu Zhao appeared again, his collar was obviously wet.
The voice is also much clearer.
"My Lord." He came in and bowed to Lin Zhaoyue.
Then he sat down beside him like the other two.
Lin Zhaoyue was already sitting in the main seat at this time, and Mingxi was standing beside her, pouring tea and water for her.
In fact, when Lin Zhaoyue goes out, she doesn't have to be served by someone.
But whether it was Mu Ying or Ming Xi, they both still liked to stay by her side and serve her.
It's like she has no arms or legs.
But she was used to it, so she didn't say anything.
"Duanyun Village is simple and crude, and I hope the master will not dislike it." Gu Zhao said.
[Brother, stop pinching me and just talk normally, okay?]
Although your voice has become louder since you came back, it doesn't really suit your identity as a bandit.
[I have to say something to you guys, pay attention to your character, pay attention to your character]
[I'm dying. What's the difference between this and Zhang Fei dancing in front of me?]
Lin Zhaoyue took the teacup from Mingxi's hand and chuckled.
Gu Zhao and the other two looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
What is your Master laughing at?
Xie Chi and Liu Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with what Gu Zhao said.
After all, this is the Lord.
You should be respectful when speaking.
"You've managed Duanyun Village well over the years." Lin Zhaoyue smiled and spoke slowly, her voice softening a bit. "I imagine you've suffered a lot."
Gu Zhao immediately said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what we should do. We will not hesitate to die for your service. Moreover, we have not suffered any hardship. We are just doing what we should do."
Liu Ci was the only one among the three who looked somewhat gentle and elegant. He was dressed in a long green gown, waving a folding fan in his hand, and a fake smile hung on the corner of his lips from time to time.
But at this moment, the smile that usually didn't seem genuine became real.
"Yes, Master, this is what we should do. But you..." Liu Ci said this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he asked in a low voice: "I wonder how the Master has been these days?"
Lin Zhaoyue knew that their words had no other meaning. They had been dealing with men for many years, so naturally they said whatever they thought.
Judging from Liu Ci's expression, he probably knew what happened to her in the capital, so he asked this question.
She smiled faintly, "Excellent."
Hearing this, Liu Ci also nodded softly.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "I'm here as a guest at your Duanyun Village, you don't have to be so reserved."
The three of them exchanged glances, and then all three of them stood up at once.
Gu Zhao: "Master, you are not a guest. Broken Cloud Village is yours, and so are the Nine Villages and Eighteen Valleys. The three of us are only serving you. As long as you give the order, the Nine Villages and Eighteen Valleys will also serve you!"
Xie Chi: "The boss is right, my lord, you are the master of Duanyun Village."
Liu Ci's tone still contained a hint of grievance: "Master, do you mean you don't want us anymore? We are yours, and Broken Cloud Village is yours too. How can you be a guest?"
[The three of them are like three big loyal dogs. Is that okay?]
[Awesome, princess! You've tested their loyalty with just one sentence.]
[Am I the only one curious about the story between the princess and them? ]
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up nonchalantly as she took a sip of tea.
But he was in no hurry to reply.
She was indeed testing him just now.
She hadn't seen them for many years and they were thousands of miles apart. She couldn't guarantee that they were still as loyal to her as before.
So she casually said that she was a guest and just wanted to see their reaction.
But now it seems.
She was just being overly suspicious.
If any of them had ulterior motives, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
After all, she came here alone.
And this is their territory.
If anything were to happen, it would seem that she would definitely be the controlled and weaker party.
She comforted them with a few words.
"When did I say I didn't want you anymore?" She laughed. "Why are you so upset? Look at all of you, are you still the feared leader of Broken Cloud Village?"
Only then did the three of them sit down with peace of mind.
Scare them.
They thought the Lord was going to leave them alone.
Although they were already the overlords at this time.
But they were just bandits.
Even if they can control a force with a wave of their hands, that's the limit of what they can achieve.
They knew very well that following the master was the wisest choice.
Besides this, the Lord is kind to them.
Naturally, they would not be ungrateful.
Although they are far away from the capital, it does not mean that they are not concerned about what is happening in the capital.
Therefore, they were also very clear about the dethronement of the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaohua's entry into the court to govern the country.
not to mention--
Without their master, they would never have been able to take over Jiuzhaigou and Eighteen Valleys.
