Chapter 20 Zijuan leads the order to come to meet up
Wu Weiyi and his party quickly crossed the Jingma River. Halfway through the journey, they saw a team of people coming to the front. Wu Weiyi asked Ke Erzhenxi:
"How come another team of people came ahead? I wonder if they were enemies or friends?"
Ke Erzhen looked forward for a while, then turned around, pointed his fingers ahead and replied with Wu Weiyi:
"Mr. Wu can rest assured. The team of people in front of him were wearing red robes, and they were all riding white horses. At first glance, they were the princess' personal guards. Those white horses... Hehe, it was the gift given to her by Benhao when she was young! And her elite female cavalry team were all trained to her!"
Not long after, the two teams met halfway through. A female horseman in the lead dismounted and shouted to the crowd opposite:
"I wonder who is Mr. Wu?"
When Wu Weiyi heard that the woman was calling him, he jumped off the horse and said, "
"I'm here, what advice does this girl have?"
The female guard hugged Wu Weiyi a boxing ceremony and said respectfully:
"Mr. Wu! It's great that you can come safely! Zijuan is Princess Nishiro's personal bodyguard. When the princess learned that Mr. Wu was blocked halfway and was in a dangerous situation, she sent me to pick me up. She never thought that Mr. Wu could turn bad luck and turn danger into danger. If the princess found out, she would be ecstatic."
Wu Weiyi knew that it was a friendly army sent by the princess, and his heart fell to the ground like a stone. He looked at the female general again, but he couldn't help but be shocked:
"So it's... it's you... it's your mother's night..."
It turned out that this female cavalry general was no one else. It was the female guard who had been tricked by him with a flashlight on the school ground - Zijuan!
Zi Juan raised her head and recognized Wu Weiyi at a glance. It turned out that the Mr. Wu who was talking about the princess was the so-called "Golden Crow Great Ming King" who pretended to be a ghost on the school ground that day.
"How...why...why are you! You...what are you the 'Mr. Wu' who was praised by the princess as a sage? The princess must be stupid. She would have repeatedly touched you, the alchemist, for the Taoist priest!"
Wu Weiyi heard Zijuan say so unbearable, and was a little dissatisfied, so she argued:
"I fell into the lake in your territory inexplicably that day from heaven, but you and the heroine of your family were just going to catch me into the dungeon without any discrimination, and the next day I was going to behead me. But what can I do if I asked me? If I hadn't pretended to be a god and a ghost, I would have become your evil soul now!"
When Ke Erzhenxi saw that the two of them had been arguing endlessly as soon as they met, he couldn't help but laugh, and then persuaded him:
"Oh, OK! I don't know what happened before, but since we are all walking, we should be kind and harmonious! Enemies should be resolved rather than be together. Don't both of you say too much. It's more important to enter the city sooner. Benhao has been running all the way, but he doesn't even have enough to eat decent naan bread. His stomach is already so hungry that he is croaking."
So, Wu Weiyi and Zijuan, under the mediation of Ke Er Zhenxi, stopped talking and rushed towards Picheng together.
Rumors about the Battle of Jingmahe spread wildly. Before Wu Weiyi and his team arrived, they had somehow spread in Picheng. The story became more and more mysterious. There were even rumors in the market that Wu Weiyi was completely deified. It was said that Wu Weiyi was the incarnation of the Biling River God. Prince Du Jiang angered the River God, so he was flooded by the river God by the flood of Jingmahe.
When Wu Weiyi and his party finally arrived in Picheng, the rumors that "the river god flooded the prince's border" had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Picheng. Before Wu Weiyi and his party arrived at the gate of the city, they were already surrounded by people along the way. Everyone wanted to see with their own eyes what the "river god" looked like.
"Look, look, the one riding behind the Qiang man, the one who is black and white all over his body!..."
"Hey, don't say it... This god is really different from us mortals!"
It turned out that the charcoal ash used for disguise that was scratched on Wu Weiyi's body had already been transformed from east to west. It became like this now, but was regarded as a symbol of the gods by those passers-by. Ke Er Zhenxi and other Qiang people knew the reasons clearly and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
In this way, Wu Weiyi and his group came to the outskirts of Picheng City Gate, surrounded by people. From a distance, they saw that the city tower of Picheng was already in sight. At this time, Princess Nishiro was waiting on the top of the city for half a day.
It turned out that at midnight last night, someone heard news that something was wrong in Yufu City and Wu Weiyi's official residence was surrounded. Although Princess Nishiro was a little worried, she was out of reach after all, so she had to send several waves of scouts to rush to find out the news.
Afterwards, he heard the news that the White Horse Di chief Ke Er Zhenxi and Wang Zijiang's guards were fighting on the banks of the Jingma River. The princess was sure that Mr. Wu and Na Ke Er Zhenxi were going to come to Picheng, but was intercepted by Wang Zijiang halfway. The princess was naturally worried, so she asked Zijuan to quickly lead the White Horse Jingwei to meet him.
Not long after, there was a quick Malay report saying that Wang Zijiang's men had the upper hand, but were flooded by the Jingmahe River water attracted by Mr. Wu. The princess was a little relieved, but she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Finally, when the princess heard that although Mr. Wu had won a great victory, she upheld the righteousness and rescued the Shu soldiers who were about to be drowned by the river. Princess Nishiro learned that both sides were safe and sound, the princess was overjoyed when she heard it. She hurriedly climbed the city wall and stood at the top of the city in the wind, quietly waiting for the arrival of Wu Weiyi, Ke Erzhenxi and his group...
Princess Du Yu saw that Ke Erzhenxi and Zijuan had led the team to the city gate, so she hurried down the city tower and left the city gate to greet her.
"I am the Princess Nishiori of Shu Kingdom, and I have met Mr. Wu here."
As soon as the princess Du Yu saw Wu Weiyi, she went up to greet him politely.
"How dare you, Wu... I offended him when he first met with the princess... It was a helpless move. I hope the princess will forgive her..."
When Wu Weiyi thought that when he first arrived, he had been here for a lifetime, he did not dare to look up at Princess Nishiro, but came forward to pay a greeting. When the princess saw Wu Weiyi, she shook her head, smiled knowingly, and said to Wu Weiyi with a joke:
"Haha, I really didn't expect that Mr. Wu is also a vengeful person? I used to be a ruthless man, but I mistakenly thought Mr. Da Tsai as a spy in Ba State. I feel ashamed. I should ask Mr. for forgiveness."
Wu Weiyi felt strange when he heard this:
"Huh? What is this Princess Nishiro put on her gourd? How can she speak so gently now!"
Wu Weiyi was really curious, but he raised his head slightly and looked at Princess Nishiro, but was shocked again:
"Princess...you...so you were the student who gave me silk handkerchief that day! It was the one who asked me a lot of questions at that time...hey? So you were dressed as a man!"
When Princess Du Yu saw that Wu Weiyi recognized her, she giggled and replied:
"Mr. Wu is indeed very good at eye-catching. I heard rumors in the palace that there were experts in Yufu City who started teaching. Because of curiosity, I disguised myself as a man and scrambled into Yufu City to listen to the teacher's lectures and talk, which benefited a lot. However, from the teacher's words, I secretly guessed that my ruthless brother must not be able to tolerate the master's great wisdom, so I embroidered this silk handkerchief for the teacher's needs from time to time. I never thought that it would be fulfilled so quickly..."
After hearing this, Wu Weiyi replied gratefully:
"Thank you for your kindness to the princess. Wu is grateful to the princess for her great kindness... I really can't repay her..."
Ke Erzhenxi, who was standing aside, saw that the two of them were having a good conversation, but he felt a little jealous for nothing and interrupted half-jokingly:
"Sister Yu! You are really, after all, you completely treat me like air. Sister Yu, if the silk handkerchief you embroidered me so majestic and beautiful, I wouldn't have saved Mr. Wu for you! Hehe, it seems that our family's son is the one who knows the most about me."
When Du Yu heard this, Ke Er Zhenxi was making fun of himself again, but he was not angry. He just smiled and shook his head and said:
"Go and go! You are here again! When did I say that I will be the Yan clan of you, Baima Di? Brother Ke Er, I don't know how many times I have told you. Although your father and my father have had a relationship with each other for eight times, we Shu people and you have different living habits after all. You Di people are like wild horses that have broken away from the reins, wandering between mountains, rivers and rivers. If you let you stay in Picheng steadily, will you be happy? We are Shu people and will not want to do so forever. If we are Shu people, we will be unwilling for the rest of our lives. If we let you stay in Picheng steadily, will you be happy? We are Shu people and we will not want to do so for the rest of our lives.
Beyond this land, and now I still have the affairs of this Nishikoi Floor, which is related to the people's livelihoods here. How can I bear to let me go? Brother Ke Er treats me like a sister. I am very grateful, but don't joke about this kind of thing in the future. Brother Ke Er... You are also a big boss. If these words are passed to you in the future, they will misunderstand us. I can't bear the responsibility."
"Oh! OK, okay, I know the truth at least, just kidding me. Sister Yu shouldn't talk about it seriously again."
While talking and laughing, everyone rode into the city on horseback. Out of instinct, Wu Weiyi carefully observed the people's sentiments in Picheng along the way, and felt that the people's sentiments here were indeed very different from those in Yufu City. Although the buildings in the inner city of Yufu City were more magnificent and majestic, everything in the city seemed to be more orderly, there was always a sense of depression with a deep dusk atmosphere. And in Picheng, there were many people coming and going for business. Although there was no order, it was also obvious that the lives of the people here could be considered as happy and contented.
"Mr. Wu, Picheng is remote, so naturally it is not as good as Yufu City. This official residence is considered a good place to live in Picheng. In the past few days, only Mr. Weiqiu will rest in this official residence. It is too late today, and I will come to visit Mr. Wu again tomorrow."
After Wu Weiyi thanked the princess, he was about to enter the door, but suddenly remembered something extremely important. So he called out to the princess who turned around and wanted to leave:
"Oh! By the way! Princess, let's wait. I suddenly remembered something extremely important. I'm afraid there are so many dreams. If you can, please follow me into the house and talk."
When the princess heard that Mr. Wu seemed to have something important to discuss, she turned around and nodded slightly, and entered the official residence with Wu Weiyi. Wu Weiyi whispered to Mo Zhai beside her. She saw that Mo Zhai had arranged people around the main building and guarded the attic. Wu Weiyi then said to the princess:
"Your Highness, please move upstairs and talk."
