Zhou Mu’s expression instantly darkened like a god’s, a cold glint flashing briefly in his deep eyes, as dark as a black pool.
Gu Changsheng glared directly, her cheeks puffing up in anger.
This Shi Wujue really deserves a beating!
What kind of talk is this?
What does ’leaving behind the most important thing of the evildoer’ an?
The most important thing for their own evildoer, isn’t it her?
Ah!
No!
She’s not a ’thing’!
Damn it! She’s a living person!
So, Gu Changsheng gritted her teeth imdiately, feeling that this person’s words were really too detestable!
"Evildoer, is this the person you respect for his understanding? Are you kidding?" Rolling up her sleeves, Gu Changsheng said angrily.
Oh my god, these old friends et and without saying three words they are already shouting to fight; what kind of logic is this?
Fighting, she might understand as her own evildoer and Shi Wujue’s unique way of getting along, but opening with trying to rob others of their love is a bit too shaless, right?
It’s not that Gu Changsheng doesn’t believe her own evildoer would lose, but Shi Wujue’s words really got on her nerves.
"Alright, don’t be angry. He’s just that kind of person, saying whatever cos to mind, but his heart isn’t bad." Zhou Mu spoke soothingly while holding the furious Gu Changsheng, "Besides, he’s already taken back the internal breath he released. If you want to vent your anger on him, you’ll have to wait until after this, maybe in Linyuan City..."
"Linyuan City! Linyuan City is still three hundred miles away from here. Shi Wujue is a bit too arrogant, his claws have even reached the northern border of Liaodong." Gu Changsheng retracted her hand from her rolled-up sleeve, but still said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s deep eyes looked towards the distant void and he spoke softly, "Linyuan City can remain outside the Three Kingdoms, in a strategic location that all soldier families vie for, and yet it has stood for a thousand years, not without reason, due to its amazing heritage!"
At this point, Zhou Mu smiled, rubbed Gu Changsheng’s little head, and continued slowly, "To gain a foothold amidst the Three Kingdoms, Linyuan City is not sothing to be underestimated. Changsheng, don’t think Shi Wujue’s youth makes him simple. Even though I’ve known him since my youth, I still can’t see him clearly. Just mind yourself when you et him soday. He’s soone who can uniquely dominate Linyuan and hold the world in contempt, not easily dealt with!"
"Mm!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng thought for a while and nodded.
Soone who can dominate a region, looking down on the Three Kingdoms, Gu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t foolishly think he’s rely a wine bag and food sack!
Moreover, releasing internal breath to survey the surrounding city, Shi Wujue is arrogant and unruly, but he really does have the tone to back that up!
"But why were you so angry when he said that?" Zhou Mu, seeing his little woman’s anger dissipate in an instant, asked with a smile, "Could it be you think what I care about most is you?"
When her own evildoer asked this, Gu Changsheng’s face turned a bit awkward.
What should she say to this?
If unlucky, she might seem narcissistic!
So, Gu Changsheng arrogantly lifted her chin and asked matter-of-factly, "Isn’t it so?"
Pass the ball back, who wouldn’t know how?
Although Gu Changsheng isn’t an expert, she can still manage to retaliate!
Faced with his little woman’s retort, Zhou Mu lowered his head and chuckled, his long back slightly trembling, his whole deanor exuding happiness, "Hehe..."
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched, and she swung her little fists, hitting Zhou Mu in embarrassnt and anger, "What are you laughing at? Laughing at what? You dare say it’s not true?"
Damn, laughing so flamboyantly, showing off for whom?
She was just a bit narcissistic, caught by him almost like a general!
Does he have to laugh so joyfully? So heartless!
"I wouldn’t dare! Really, I wouldn’t dare!" Watching the little woman in front of him blow up, Zhou Mu laughed like a bright moonlit night, dodging slightly as he answered.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, her hand dropping after hitting her own evildoer a few more tis, then she lifted her chin arrogantly, "I bet you wouldn’t dare! If you dare to say it’s not, I won’t need you to lose ; I’ll send myself to Shi Wujue! From the sound of it, he seems to be quite handso, a beautiful man indeed, it’s a good deal!"
"You dare!" Zhou Mu’s face imdiately darkened, coldly warning while looking at the little woman.
"You dare, I dare! If you have the guts, hit !" Gu Changsheng stuck her tongue out at Zhou Mu, then turned and started running away.
"You woman!" Zhou Mu shook his head with a doting and helpless expression and took a long stride, chasing after the runaway little woman.
The two of them, like this, chased each other in the inn’s courtyard, enjoying themselves imnsely. anwhile, in another guest room, Xiao Cui and Han Qiu were taking turns guarding the box containing the Breath Seeking Pearl, constantly watching for any changes!
The Breath Seeking Pearl was of great importance, allowing no room for error. Naturally, Xiao Cui and Han Qiu dared not be careless.
Not far away in another guest room, three little toddlers were pulling on a reluctant little monk, looking sullen and sighing in distress...
"Mother sent that soft spirit to summon the Dark Night Army to take and Old Handso Grandpa away. I’m going to be separated from my mother again. Little Monk, I don’t want to leave my mother. What should I do?" With hands supporting her cheeks, little Ou Rubin lay on the table, posing as a flower of the motherland.
"Condolences! Serve cold!" Little Monk Bu Jie glanced at the little chubby bun and rolled the Buddha Beads in his hand, coolly dropping these four words.
Upon hearing this, the little chubby bun’s plump face imdiately puffed up, looking at Little Monk Bu Jie with disapproval, accusing him by pointing, "Little Monk, you’re so disloyal. We are grasshoppers tied to the sa rope. If I am sent away, you can’t stay either!"
"Amitabha!" Hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist chant, his expression unchanged, and slowly spoke, "Little Benefactor, please allow this humble monk to be honest, I am human, not a grasshopper!"
"Uh..." Hearing this, the corner of the little chubby bun’s mouth twitched slightly.
Little Han Mo with the Black Face and Wuchang Yue swiftly turned their heads to the other side, no longer watching them.
"Also, my Buddha sees all beings as equals. Even if this humble monk is a grasshopper, it was you who dragged in to make up the numbers, so I’m not tied on the sa rope with you. Please ignore this humble monk!" After saying this, Little Monk Bu Jie closed his eyes, his lips started moving, and resud chanting.
The little chubby bun, blocked by the little monk’s words, wore a colorful, chubby face but could only sigh helplessly, continuing to lant and discuss helplessness!
The next day at noon.
After Gu Changsheng watched the inn’s entrance several tis, he finally spotted two lines of light cavalry galloping unimpeded towards them!
Seeing Shuang Jiang leading the way, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Though he said he wasn’t worried, in truth, Gu Changsheng was sowhat concerned about sending Shuang Jiang alone to Linyuan City to call for reinforcents!
After all, once she left Licheng City, everything was out of her hands, and any danger was possible!
The sudden appearance of two columns of light cavalry, evidently not from Licheng City’s guards, alard many Licheng citizens along the route, causing countless heads to turn towards them. However, because of the overwhelming presence of these two columns of dark red uniford n, they dared not get too close!
Shuang Jiang led the charge. Upon seeing the pair with half-masked faces at the inn doorway, her slender waist turned deftly on horseback, dismounted first, flashed to the front, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a deep voice, "Your subordinate luckily did not disappoint!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Looking at Shuang Jiang’s dust-covered, tattered black gauze, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but nod repeatedly, his Phoenix Eyes full of praise.
Gu Changsheng was a person of many battles. From Shuang Jiang’s torn clothing, it was not hard to tell her journey to Linyuan City had been anything but peaceful!
Yet luckily, she returned safely!
Not only did she return, but she also brought along the subordinates she had personally trained!
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
"..."
The uniform sound of dismounting, kneeling, and saluting.
The actions were rigorous and ticulous, evidently the result of the harshest training!
The voices were full of vigor, echoing far!
The commotion caused nearby citizens to be a bit anxious, and even the inn’s shopkeeper, despite being forewarned by Wang Buer and Yan Qingcheng, was so frightened that he hid under a table and dared not co out!
"Good, good, good!" After several months, seeing her familiar subordinates again, even the depths of Gu Changsheng’s eyes revealed a hint of delight.
This is her Dark Night Army!
These were people she trained personally at Liuzhou City, sparing no expense in finances, resources, and energy!
These were her earliest trusted confidants and symbols, the people she trusted the most!
"This isn’t the place to talk. Co inside first!" From behind Shuang Jiang, a slender figure slowly erged from the kneeling crowd, clad in colorful clothes, adorned with dazzling headgear, with a face more beautiful than a spirit’s. Among the Dark Night Army dressed in dark red uniforms, they were remarkably conspicuous!
Upon hearing this approaching voice, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, seeing the arrival, couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"Flower Peacock? Why are you here?" Gu Changsheng opened her eyes wide in confusion, asking, "Did you co along with the Dark Night Army from Linyuan City?"
Why hasn’t she heard of any news about Yue Xilou heading north?
