Chapter 286's first release comes just in time. ...
Yu Chang pinched Zhu Zhao's collar, and stopped his fist when he heard the words. His eyes were fixed on his face, almost staring a hole in Zhu Zhao.
The latter swallowed his saliva, but still stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat.
This stinking bug is even more ferocious than before.
"You come to ask me?" Zhu, not caring about her appearance, hurriedly replied, "Who should I ask?"
"Stop playing dumb with me!" Wen Yu laughed in anger, fanning himself with the Liuyun fan. His movements were full of unrestrained and uninhibited charm, but for no reason, a sense of majesty emerged from him.
It's not that she doesn't like Jun's good temper and will always spoil him.
"Hmm?" Yu Chang tightened his grip and looked down at Zhu Zhao, seemingly dissatisfied with his reaction.
"I'm innocent! Last night I drank the wine buried in the yard and slept most of the day..." Zhuzhao, knowing when to stop, hurriedly defended himself, "I didn't get up until you knocked on the gate, then I started cooking the eggs."
He tried to use the bowl of chicken soup to awaken Wen Yu's memories, so that she would take care of Yu Chang, the legless guy, for the sake of the soup. Besides, what he said was the truth.
"I didn't pay attention to what was happening in the mountains, and I've never seen the man you're talking about."
Seeing that there was no falsehood in his words, Wen Yu and Yu Chang exchanged glances.
Zhuzhao was put down immediately and fell into the arms of Zhao Buwen who rushed over to catch him.
"Banban." Zhao Buwen suppressed his smile, put on a caring look and called out, touching his exposed furry ears.
The overwhelming anger immediately turned into endless grievances. Zhu Zhao also raised his sleeve to wipe away the non-existent tears, and then leaned on Zhao Buwen's shoulder naturally, "Awen——"
"Wen Bao and Zhao Qiying probably headed straight for the Wutong Ancestral Temple," Wen Yu muttered softly, glancing sideways at Yu Chang who had returned to her side. "That place is filled with demons and evil spirits, and it's not safe right now."
Although there is the statue of the master's God of Spring, the master is in retreat and may not be able to take care of everything that happens in the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
Yu Chang nodded, confirming Wen Yu's idea, "Let's go up the mountain and see for ourselves."
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Dan Qing and A Li looked at each other, neither of them knowing how to interrupt in this chaotic scene.
Tai Hao, who was standing behind the two of them, was even more silent and did not move at all.
Dan Qing glanced at his master's expression out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Wen Yujun and Yu Chang who were inseparable in front of him, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Although he didn't know why his master wanted him to hold Yu Chang back, it seemed that doing so would have no effect at all.
What had the master been doing in the mountains for the past half day? Was he just standing there like this, silent? Or... sitting?
It is really wrong to talk about the master without authorization. Dan Qing raised his sleeve and patted his mouth to make himself think properly.
Ah Li on the side didn't notice Dan Qing's little action at all. She just focused on looking at the fairy... and the little fairy master who was hugged by her so gently.
If only he could cultivate into a human form sooner and appear before the fairy sooner...
But right now...isn't it too late?
Tai Hao could see through what was going on in these two heads at a glance——
Ignorant confusion and innocent fantasy.
In fact, apart from living longer, there is no other difference between him and these two people.
Looking at Wen Yujun not far away, Taihao's eyes flickered, but fortunately the moonlight covered them and prevented him from being too embarrassed.
"Speaking of which, that wine is very intoxicating. Since this is your house—" With Zhao Buwen leaning on him, Zhu Zhao became bolder. "What kind of poison did you put in there?"
Wen Yu glanced at Zhu Zhao indifferently and said, "I haven't settled this account with you yet, and you're asking me about it?"
That was the wine that she and Song Linsheng had buried under the loquat tree that day. It was extremely precious and rare. Before she had even tasted it, it was pried away by Zhu Shiming.
She was worried about having no place to vent her anger!
Somehow, Wen Yu glanced at Emperor Taihao who was a few steps away for no reason. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"That's easy." Zhao Buwen raised his bamboo hat and smiled at Wen Yu. "One day I'll give you a few jars of Zhaogong Mountain's Mao Mao Zui as an apology."
Cat drunk?
Wen Yu remained calm, but became curious in his heart. Who would name a drink like this? It might be similar to what Zhao Banpan came up with.
"What? Haven't you seen it?" Zhuzhao raised his chin with a proud and complacent look. "Maomaozui is unique to Zhaogong Mountain. It can't be compared to these old fruit wines of yours."
She knew that Zhu Shiming would have no good intentions the moment he opened his mouth. Wen Yu didn't think any more about it. She straightened her expression and instructed him, "Pack up quickly and escort the people down the mountain."
"Hey! You--" Zhuzhao obviously didn't listen to Wenyu, or rather, he didn't listen to anyone except Zhao Bushen.
But before he could finish his words, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, coming from far away and getting closer, and soon they were right in front of him.
"Oh my! What, what..." The man cried out in agony, "Oh my God, how could it be burned like this?"
Wen Yu's eyes moved, and he turned his head to look——
Wen Jibai was in the lead, followed by Chen Zhizhi, Su Jianbai, and a young man whom he had never seen before. He led a huge group of people who poured into the yard like a tide.
Everyone held a torch in their hands, and the orange, yellow, and fiery red flames floated up and down like a winding river.
"This, this, this..." Wen Jibai spread his hands, looking left and right, not paying attention to either side, "Will Song Xuechuan go crazy if he sees this?"
"Auntie—" Chen Zhizhi didn't care about the yard or the house. He rushed over to Wen Yu, passing Wen Jibai. "Auntie, are you okay?"
The cold air mixed with the mountain dew that hit his face made Wen Yu shiver. Needless to say, it must have been brought by Zhizhi when he was walking through the mountains and forests.
Wen Yu supported Zhizhi, held her in his arms, and subconsciously patted her back, "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
She vaguely remembered that when she first entered the Spring Temple, she would get into trouble here today and break the rules there tomorrow. When Chi Huang teased her or scared her, her master would often comfort her in this way.
Zhizhi in his arms was breathing rapidly, his chest heaving like a frightened little rabbit, unable to calm down for a while.
Wen Yu looked at Wen Jibai from afar as he was exploring the surroundings, and thought that what he said made sense.
Xianchun Cottage had suffered disasters before, and now it has suffered another disaster. All the efforts in repairing it have been wasted. Song Zhuo will probably have a headache for a while.
Su Jianbai, who had caught up, was also walking fast at first, but he became more hesitant the closer he got to Wen Yu. He moved slowly in front of her, hesitating for a long time without saying a word.
"Quick! Put out the torch!" The scholar at the back stopped and turned around to shout to everyone, "Be careful of another fire!"
He is a considerate and careful person.
Wen Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Su Jianbai beside him, "Why are you here?"
Hadn't they agreed during the day that only Zhizhi and Su Jianbai would search the mountain's base? The mountain was dangerous, so what were they doing here?
"It was nightfall, and I saw that my aunt hadn't returned yet." Chen Zhizhi looked up upon hearing this, and reluctantly rose from Wen Yu's arms. "Everyone was worried about my aunt and Lord Yu, so we discussed going into the mountains together to take a look."
Wen Yu's words of rebuttal were on the tip of his tongue, but when he opened his mouth he found that he couldn't say anything.
She wanted to say that she and Yu Chang didn't need two younger generations to look after them, or that they should ensure their own safety first...
But looking at Zhizhi's bright eyes, Wen Yu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Chang beside him.
Yu Chang's eyes also froze, and he looked at Wen Yu somewhat at a loss.
It is natural for the strong to care for the weak, but what is the concern of the weak for the strong?
"Yes, no matter how strong you, Yu and Yu Chang are, two fists cannot beat four hands." Su Jianbai saw Wen Yu and the others stunned, and couldn't help but support Chen Zhizhi.
He hesitated as he spoke, not quite daring to address Yu Chang by name. "No matter how weak Chen Xiaodao and I are, there is strength in numbers."
After saying that, he pursed his lips tightly, but he couldn't suppress the smile that came out. He simply crossed his arms and turned his body to the side, avoiding looking directly at Wen Yu and Yu Chang.
"What? You came at the wrong time?" Su Jianbai started to be stubborn again.
Wen Yu stroked the tip of her nose and saw in Yu Chang's eyes that they both felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, she also felt secretly happy.
"You came at the right time." Wen Yu smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Now the people in the house need shelter, and it would be unreliable to rely on candles to illuminate one person.
In a blink of an eye, all the torches were extinguished, and Wen Jibai led the scholar to Wen Yu.
"Aunt, this is Jia Tingxi, the prefect of Jiangyang." Wen Jibai raised his eyebrows, as if he was still grieving over the burned courtyard.
Jia Tingxi was well-dressed and dressed solemnly, like a scholar. "Aunt, Tingxi greets you and Lord Yu."
He greeted Wen Yu and Yu Chang according to Wen Jibai's instructions.
On the way here, he heard Ji Bai and Zhizhi talk a lot about the matter between his aunt and Lord Yu. Now Jiang Yang's unsolved case all depends on his aunt's help. What's more, his aunt has a close relationship with his ancestors, so he naturally respects her.
Wen Yu nodded in agreement. Now was not the time to reminisce about the past. "You've had a hard time on this journey. Have you made any progress?"
"It's a pity that we didn't find anything at the foot of the mountain." Chen Zhizhi took over the conversation, sighing and complaining, "Wenbao and Zhao Qiying..."
"Follow me up the mountain." Wen Yu made a quick decision.
It is very likely that Wen Bao and Zhao Qiying went straight to the top of the mountain. Now that there are no monsters blocking them and Zhu Shiming has not noticed them, the two of them should have successfully reached the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
Wen Yu turned and left, with Yu Chang following closely behind.
Seeing this, Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai naturally started to chase after him, but before they could move, they were interrupted by someone.
"Hey! Wait!" Zhu Zhao saw that the situation was not good and shouted, "There are still many people in this room."
"Aunt, please go." Ah Li rarely saw so many strangers and could only barely recognize Wen Jibai and Chen Zhizhi. "Ah Li will take care of the people in the house."
Although he had rarely been out of Houchun Mountain and could not send the people back to the city, he was still able to keep everyone safe here until his aunt finished her business and came back.
"You—" Zhu Zhao turned to look at Ah Li in disbelief, cursing and starting a verbal battle, "I said you, this tree branch, are deliberately opposing me."
Wen Yu turned around and saw Zhao Buwen waving at her from between the two of them, as if he wanted to distance himself from the matter.
"Tingxi, you and the soldiers stay here and escort the people inside back to Jiangyang." Wen Yu raised his chin and gestured to Jia Tingxi, "Zhizhi and Su Jianbai, follow me up the mountain to look for Wenbao and Zhao Qiying."
"What?" Jia Tingxi was shocked and immediately looked at the closed door. "The people of Jiangyang?"
My aunt is indeed brave and capable. He has been investigating the case for several days without any progress, but now there is a ready-made answer in front of him.
"You will know at a glance that Ah Li will help you." Wen Yu spoke hurriedly and gave instructions very quickly, then took a few steps towards Zhuzhao.
Zhu Zhao put his hands in front of him, afraid that his purple-gold robe would get wrinkled. "What are you doing?"
"I forgot to tell you, I am also a tree branch." Wen Yu did not get angry but smiled instead. He held Zhuzhao with one hand and took him down with almost no effort. He turned around and walked out without hesitation.
Zhu Shiming locked up all the rebellious little demons in the Wutong Ancestral Temple, and he needed to go with her to count them.
"Hey! You!" Zhu Zhao didn't react for a moment, and was actually dragged away by Wen Yu. He quickly bared his teeth and claws and howled, "Awen, Awen——"
Zhao Buwen really turned a deaf ear to him now. She picked up the fish basket on the ground and put it on her shoulder, following Wen Yu leisurely, without any intention of helping Zhuzhao.
Seeing several people passing the officers and soldiers led by Jia Tingxi, even Ah Li went into the house first to check on the people...
In this situation now, it seems that he and...
Left behind, Dan Qing looked around, then asked the Emperor beside him in confusion, "Master, are we... going back to Zhuoying Palace?"
