Chapter 189: Protecting the Calf(1/2)
capital.
On the carriage, Cao Zian looked at Li Wuji, who looked a little solemn and was not very interested. He hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to phrase his words.
"Sir, news just came from the palace that Chunsheng was beaten by Yuqing."
Cao Zian hesitated, and said carefully while observing Li Wuji's expression.
He was worried that Li Wuji, who was already in a bad mood, would do something uncontrollable after hearing this incident.
Sure enough, after hearing Cao Zian's words, Li Wuji's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Is it serious?!"
Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
"Oh, it's not serious, it's not serious. I just suffered some skin injuries. It is said that Chunsheng accidentally made some mistakes and was caught by Yuqing, so he gave him a lesson."
Cao Zian hurriedly waved his hands and said, as if he was afraid that Li Wuji would be angry.
"Do you believe it?"
Li Wuji snorted coldly and asked disdainfully.
"Young Master, is Yuqing doing it intentionally?"
Cao Zian was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.
He had never met Yuqing, so he didn't know much about Yuqing, but Li Wuji had seen Yuqing's arrogance and domineering behavior in the Qinghu Mountain Hunting Palace.
Even the current prince doesn't take him seriously, how many people are there in the entire capital?
"I met this man in Qinghu Mountain. The first time I saw him, I knew what kind of person he was!"
"It must be because the empress' sudden favor for Chunsheng made Yuqing jealous, so she found a reason to vent her anger!"
"With his status in the palace, it is too easy to deal with a baseless male favorite like Chun Sheng. And as long as he doesn't go too far, even if the empress knows about it, she won't do anything to him!"
Li Wuji sneered and said lightly, his words full of disgust.
"It seems that if Chun Sheng wants to stay in the palace for a long time, he will inevitably be bullied by this person."
Cao Zian frowned and said solemnly.
"He was suddenly punished. Wasn't he exposed?"
Li Wuji hesitated for a moment and asked calmly.
"That's not true. This kid can indeed endure it. Even though he was humiliated, he didn't even hum from the beginning to the end. Maybe it's because of this that the injury was a little more serious."
Cao Zian shook his head and said.
After listening to Cao Zian's words, Li Wuji fell into silence.
He knew Chun Sheng well and knew that Chun Sheng was an unyielding person. When he first persuaded Chun Sheng to enter the palace and lurk, he also wasted some effort.
Because of this, he didn't want his plan to be ruined and his arrangements disrupted.
"Has the Qilin Heavenly Master not left the capital yet?"
After Li Wuji was silent for a moment, he asked again.
"No, but I should leave today."
Cao Zian replied slowly.
Originally, the Qilin Celestial Master should have left after offering birthday gifts to the Empress at Qinghu Mountain, but because the Empress was suddenly assassinated, he escorted the Empress back to the capital and has been living in the palace.
"Keep an eye on him. Yuqing will definitely go to see him off by then. I want to go and meet him for a while."
Li Wuji sneered and said in a deep voice.
It just so happened that the debt he and Yuqing had on Qinghu Mountain had not yet been settled.
"yes."
Cao Zian nodded and agreed respectfully.
Li Wuji said nothing more, slowly closed his eyes, leaned against the carriage, and fell into the loss of being rejected again.
Cao Zian looked at the depressed Li Wuji and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He has already seen that Li Wuji's mood must be related to Princess Yong'an's mansion.
...
Afternoon.
Outside the capital.
Yuqing led a group of Yanyu guards to escort the Qilin Heavenly Master through Yanyang Pass, and then returned to the capital with them.
As someone who personally went to Qilin Mountain to bring Qilin Mountain to the capital, I had to see him off before leaving.
After a long time, a group of dozens of people walked to a mountain forest. Yuqing was a little tired, so he ordered to rest in the forest for a while before continuing on their way.
Then Yuqing came to sit down under a big tree alone, drank a few sips of the tea he brought with him, leaned against the tree trunk and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Perhaps because it was so comfortable, Yuqing gradually felt a little sleepy, so she leaned against the tree trunk and took a nap, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Given his status, even if he returned late, the empress would not say anything more, not to mention that he was not performing any important mission.
I don't know how long it has been since I fell asleep.
When Yuqing woke up from a deep sleep, she was surprised to find that it was already dark.
Even if he was not in a hurry to go back, the delay this time was too long.
"It's already dark, why didn't anyone wake me up?!"
After Yuqing calmed down, she groped the tree trunk, stood up, and scolded loudly.
But the surroundings were quiet, and no one responded to him at all.
Immediately afterwards, Yuqing realized something was wrong, because even though it was dark, it was not so dark. He could hardly see his fingers and couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, he realized that it was not because it was dark at all, but because his eyes were covered with a piece of black cloth!
After realizing all this, Yuqing was shocked. She quickly reached out and took off her blindfold, and looked around under the dazzling sunlight, trying to see clearly where she was and what was going on.
But then he froze on the spot, because although he was still in the forest at this time, the people standing around him were not the Yan Yuwei he had brought out, but a group of people wearing black clothes and covering their faces with black scarves.
The man was looking at him eagerly.
Then he saw a young man in white clothes sitting under a tree drinking tea, and a guard holding a long sword.
In the middle of the barren mountains, a chair, a table, and even a makeshift straw shed actually appeared!
And the person sitting on the chair is none other than Li Wuji!
"Marquis Li'an?!"
Yuqing was stunned, looked at Li Wuji in disbelief, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Did you sleep well?"
Li Wuji asked calmly while drinking tea, without even raising his head to look at Yuqing, his voice was cold.
"Why are you here?! Where are my people?!"
Yuqing frowned and asked in a deep voice.
But then he discovered that the position where he slept was no longer the same position as before falling asleep.
"They can't find you, so they're going back to the capital first."
Li Wuji smiled and said lightly.
It turned out that when Yu Qing was sleeping soundly under the tree, Lu Yuan quietly appeared in the woods, and while no one was paying attention, he knocked Yu Qing unconscious under the eyes of dozens of Yan Yu guards and took him to the
here.
"What do you want?!"
Yuqing frowned, tried hard to hide the panic in her heart, and asked loudly.
"I heard that Master Yuqing has great martial arts skills, so I brought someone here to compete with him."
Li Wuji smiled, finally looked up at Yuqing, and said lightly.
"Who told you?! I don't know any martial arts at all!"
Yuqing was stunned for a moment and said firmly.
"Sir, please don't hide it. I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, so I specially brought some extra people with you."
"Let's do it. You are no match against each other alone. Let's go together and learn the master's clever tricks!"
But Li Wuji didn't listen to Yuqing's explanation at all, waved his hand and gave the order directly.
As the words fell, dozens of men in black walked towards Yuqing at the same time.
"Marquis Li'an!"
"Master Hou?!"
