Chapter 59 Heading to Chang'an(1/2)
After Li Wuqi sat down, he placed the wooden box at his feet.
Mudan's eyes widened: "Master Li, why did you bring such a big wooden box? What's in it?"
"Some personal items."
With that said, Li Wuqi opened the wooden box and took out a kitchen knife, a pig-killing knife, a demon-hunting knife, pills... and lined them up around him one by one.
Mudan: "Haha, as expected of Mr. Li, he actually carries a kitchen knife with him when he goes out. Are you planning to cook for yourself on the way?"
Li Wuqi picked up the kitchen knife given to him by Butcher Hu and said with a serious face: "This kitchen knife has a great background. It was originally the possession of an immortal in Qingzhou."
"Oh?" Mudan blinked, "But don't immortals usually use swords?"
"Who knows? Maybe the immortal is a chef..."
"hehe……"
After taking out everything on the first floor, Li Wuqi reached in, twisted a hidden switch, and opened the secret compartment.
Peony looked at it curiously.
Li Wuqi took out two puppies and placed them beside him.
Peony's eyes were full of love, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! What a cute little guy!"
The two dogs, one pure black and one pure white, are no more than a foot long. They should be puppies less than three months old. At this time, there are small iron tags hanging on their necks, one with "None" written on it, and the other with "None" written on it.
It says "odd".
They moved their eyes curiously, but remained motionless.
Mudan said: "Master Li, is this your dog?"
Li Wuqi said quietly: "You have seen it."
"I have seen?"
Seeing Mudan's confused look, Li Wuqi helped her recall: "Not long ago, when you went to my house for the first time."
Then the two majestic giant dogs she saw that day appeared in Mudan's mind.
She was shocked: "It's them? But, why do they seem to be smaller?"
Li Wuqi told the black and white evil spirits: "Don't scream, don't move, don't leave this carriage, and don't let anyone find you!"
At the same time, he also said to Peony: "Miss Peony, these two are in some special situations. You must not let anyone know about their existence."
Peony nodded.
She thought of the two mighty dogs that day and felt a little in awe, but the two dogs she saw now were too soft, cute and fluffy.
After struggling in her heart, she finally couldn't help but reached out and touched the white ghost's head.
no response.
So I pinched the old Black Mountain demon's ears again.
No response either.
"laugh!"
Peony finally relaxed and began to play with them unscrupulously.
The two dogs actually remained motionless and did not make any sound.
"Oh my God! They really don't move at all!" Peony exclaimed and intensified the movements of her hands. "If it weren't for the fact that they were a little hot to the touch, I would have doubted whether they were fake dogs."
The white ghost lay sleeping peacefully next to Li Wuqi; the old black mountain demon sat very upright, raised his head high, and quickly moved his ears in response to all the disturbances outside the car, acting as a vigilant sentinel.
The carriage shook slightly, and Li Wuqi closed his eyes unconsciously and dozed off.
Peony sat beside him, looking at his handsome profile while sleeping, and couldn't help but recall what happened that night...
"Young master, can you read "Pipa Xing" to me? I am willing to pay any price..."
This is the first time in her life that she has said such unimaginable words to a man.
She was even prepared for anything to happen.
But Li Wuqi said firmly: "Sorry, I can't give you this poem."
He didn't even hesitate.
Mudan's eyes dimmed instantly, but her tone was slightly stubborn as she said, "Don't you want anything that Mr. Li wants from Mudan?"
This was no longer just a matter of poetry. For the first time in her life, she had doubts about her own charm.
Those stinky men have always tried their best to curry favor with me, but now that I have taken the initiative to throw myself into their arms, I have been rejected so decisively. It is really shocking...
Just when Mudan was about to take further action to show off her charm, Li Wuqi suddenly covered his head and said in pain: "Oh my! This enchanting fragrance actually still has stamina! Oh! It has so much stamina! I can't be so reckless in the future..."
…
Recalling this incident, Mudan couldn't help but pout and muttered in a low voice: "Li Wuqi, you stupid head!"
Then, she seemed to have thought of something, so she quickly came forward and kissed Li Wuqi hastily on the face.
Li Wuqi: "..."
Sister, although I have my eyes closed, I am not asleep!
Then Peony pretended to be nonchalant, humming a tune and rubbing the head of the old Black Mountain demon, making the hair on its head messy.
The voice of the old demon from Montenegro: "I am really impressed by this woman! Don't you have any hair yourself? Why are you touching me all the time!"
…
Just after noon, the carriage arrived at Changning County.
Li Wuqi leaned out of the curtain and showed Shen Chu the way to Changning Academy.
Three carriages were parked at the entrance of the academy.
Li Wuxin sat at the door, with Su Hongyu standing behind him.
Zhou Jinzhu and Su Qingxiao were talking, with Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang standing behind them.
There was another handsome boy in white who was arguing with Dongmei about something.
"Hush!"
Shen Chu reined in the horse's head, jumped out of the car, and placed the footstool on the ground.
Mudan and Li Wuqi got out of the car one after another.
Li Wuxin waved happily: "Brother!"
Li Wuqi walked up and touched her head: "Are you obedient?"
"I am obedient!"
Su Hongyu saluted Li Wuqi: "Master Li."
Li Wuqi nodded: "Red Fish Girl."
Zhou Jinzhu and Su Qingxiao walked over together.
Zhou Jinzhu said: "My little friend Wuqi, you are here."
Su Qingxiao looked excited and saluted: "Su has met Mr. Li! Mr. Li is truly a talented person!"
Li Wuqi looked at him strangely and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Su."
Shen Chu and Mudan stood behind Li Wuqi. Mudan looked natural, while Shen Chu looked a little restrained.
Li Wuqi introduced: "This is my good friend Brother Shen Chuchen, and this is Miss Peony."
Zhou Jinzhu said kindly: "Little friend Shen and Miss Peony, one has a majestic appearance and the other has a beautiful face. They are not mortals."
"This is the dean of Changning Academy, the master of Changning County Government, Master Zhou."
When Shen Chu heard this, he was surprised and happy and said: "This is Master Zhou? The legendary master of Chinese literature and ethics?! I, the junior Shen Chu, have met Master Zhou!"
Mudan also bowed and said, "I am Mudan. I have met Master Zhou and Mr. Su."
Zhou Jinzhu said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite. We are all close friends of Little Friend Wuqi. Just treat each other as friends."
Li Wuqi said: "Master Zhou, have you packed everything?"
Zhou Jinzhu nodded: "Everything is packed, but there is still one person who hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait a little longer."
…
While Zhou Jinzhu and Li Wuqi were talking, Su Hongyu quietly asked Li Wuxin: "Wuxin, is that Peony girl the sweetheart of Mr. Li?"
Li Wuxin said calmly: "No. My brother doesn't like this."
Hearing this, Su Hongyu felt a little relieved for no reason, and then asked: "Then what does your brother like?"
Li Wu said as he should: "My brother is not that superficial. He values a person's inner qualities the most. As long as he is kind-hearted, it's fine. There are no requirements for appearance or body."
Su Hongyu frowned slightly: "Kind-hearted? What kind of strange standard is this? What does it mean to be kind-hearted?"
