The autumn wind was calm, and after the rain had ended, it became even colder. After Xi Jiu Er learned the art of disguise, she wore her new human skin mask and went out to stroll with Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang was extremely curious, and she warned her repeatedly: "This matter cannot be let Liu Shui know, understand?"
"Why?" Liu Xiang already treated Liu Shui as her good sister, and the three of them lived together as if they were inseparable. There were some things that Liu Xiang couldn't tell her, that she could understand. It was just a human skin mask.
Liu Xiang's thoughts had always been simple, she could deal with enemies that came straight at her, but she would not be able to do it if she turned her head. Xi Jiu Er didn't say a word. She found a man's robe and dressed up, making him look like an elegant young man.
In the royal study room, Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge knelt down on the ground, looking at everyone with his nose and eyes, as if he was calm and at ease, as if he would be unable to provide any help whenever the clan war was mentioned. With the cough and the pain in his chest, he immediately became dispirited, as if he was about to soar into the sky.
Finally, there was an official who couldn't bear to see him like this. Of course, he couldn't bear to see him in such a state. It would take years for him to get used to it. Since ancient times, civil and military officials had never lived in peace, and the Emperor was happy to see them at each other's throats. Only by doing so would there be the possibility of restraining each other.
"I say, Wei Guogong, don't pretend, alright?" The one who spoke was none other than the father of the Mubai, the father who had been poisoned to death by Xi Wan Feng. Although Xi Jiu Er didn't kill her, she and Xi Wan Feng were sisters.
"How am I pretending? Didn't you hear from the emperor just now that my body isn't good?" Could it be that the Emperor can lie too? " Wei Guogong angrily questioned Master Zheng, then changed her expression like a woman, and said grievingly: "I left the battle at the age of fifteen, a whole fifty years ago. My entire life was dedicated to the battle, and I ended up dying from an illness … "Here …"
Wei Guogong did not care about sitting in the royal study, she just pulled up his pants in front of everyone, they were really curious why his pants were not tied up, she only saw three ugly scars the size of a small palm on her right leg, although they were old scars, they were still extremely sinister.
Pointing at the scar Wei Guogong, she said angrily, "This is a group of trained leopards that bit me fifteen years ago on the battlefield. If I was smart enough to protect me, my subordinate would have probably crippled my leg."
"Shua!" Wei Guogong was really too quick to cover her ears before lifting up her left leg. Everyone present let out a cold breath of air as they saw Wei Guogong's left calf was sliced flat by a sharp weapon. Compared to the leopard eating it, this was not terrifying, but it was even more frightening.
"And my chest." Wei Guogong opened his chest a few times to reveal his chest, there was a scar a bit away from his heart, it was the size of a child's fist, everyone could not imagine what would happen if this arrow was shot at them. Thinking about this, his whole body broke out in cold sweat, and he started to shiver, as if his chest was starting to feel pain.
"If my heart is slightly longer than normal …" Wei Guogong looked at the rest of the people, but of course Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge did not look at them, "Do you think that my body is still healthy after experiencing all these? You can even lead troops to war? "
Master Zheng looked at Wei Guogong from head to toe and said, "You look very healthy." He did not believe the Wei Guogong's words. There were several times when he saw the Wei Guogong practicing riding and hunting in the outskirts of the city.
"Is it healthy to be loud?" Wei Guogong pursed her lips with an aggrieved look on her face. She touched her tears and said, "Your majesty, this old official also wants to bow to the death. I'm afraid that before I can even enter the battlefield …"
They had been on the battlefield for their entire lives, but now that they were old, it would be immoral of them to ask someone to lead a group of people into battle. However, there was no one suitable person in the entire country … Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge moved his butt comfortably: "How about this, We will send a few imperial physicians to take care of your body with you, what do you think?"
Aiyo, as expected of the emperor, this method is too good! Lord Zheng's eyes became a slit as he smiled, "The emperor is wise and wise, this method is not bad. This way, Wei Guogong does not need to worry about his body being able to wholeheartedly serve his country …"
"To die, right?" Wei Guogong took his words coldly and laughed: "Wow, didn't Master Zheng say that he is empty talking on paper? "Why don't we go together?"
"Talking on paper, I don't know what you're talking about." Master Zheng had long forgotten that the two of them almost fought over the war on paper.
Wei Guogong cupped her hands and kneeled in Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's direction: "The Emperor should invite someone else. This old subject doesn't have that kind of power." This counted as a very straightforward rejection of Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's suggestion.
The fire in Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's chest burned as it rose up. The expression on his face could no longer be held back as he stared at the motionless Wei Guogong and let out a cold laugh. He swept a glance at the old officials and cursed at them for being a piece of trash. Were they unable to persuade them to take the capital's salary for free?
"Then the Wei Guogong will choose one of them. He will be the commander and you will be the vice commander-in-chief. This is not something that can be discussed in the imperial edict." The atmosphere in the palace became silent. Without the Wei Guogong's loud voice, the only thing that remained was Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge hitting the table: "Du, du, du, du ~ ~ ~"
"Your majesty is wise. This old official doesn't understand much about the officials in the imperial court. How about your majesty choose a general?" Wei Guogong bowed and replied.
"Alright."
There were many people on the streets today, and all the vendors were lined up on the streets. Liu Xiang, dressed in her servant attire followed behind Xi Jiu Er, looking around excitedly.
"What kind of holiday is it today?" It's so lively? " Xi Jiu Er was strolling leisurely on the street like an elegant young master. Sigh, there was nothing that she was interested in.
"Ugh …" "Today is Winter …" Liu Xiang recalled. At this time of the year, the goods were all very cheap, and some wealthy families would not come here to buy. Most of the goods here were inferior goods that they had stocked up on a few years ago. The people who came here were all poor, even though they were scum, probably for a warm winter.
"Prefecture …" Young Master, look. It's Miss Chu. " Amongst the crowd, Chu Ge brought a servant and quickly entered a teahouse. Behind him, a man looked around and also followed.
"Young Master, that man definitely has ill intentions towards Miss Chu." Liu Xiang concluded: "Should we go over to take a look? If it's those vicious people, we can save Miss Chu."
Chu Ge and Yun Qing Ran were her only two friends, so she didn't need Liu Xiang to say anything. The man's movements were well-trained just now. Her steps were steady and her expression was stern …
"Here, put this on your face." Xi Jiu Er walked over to the rouge stall and casually scooped up the rouge before smearing it on her face. The rouge boss' aiya 'yelled out,' My rouge! '
Xi Jiu Er gave the boss a silver ingot. This silver ingot was enough to buy all his rouge. The boss then called out to Xi Jiu Er's back happily: "Young Master will come again next time."
The business of the teahouse was exceptionally good today. With the hall full of seats, the waiter brought Xi Jiu Er up to the second floor: "This Young Master is so lucky, there is still one more room on the second floor."
Xi Jiu Er gave ten taels of silver to the waiter and asked softly, "Just now, a cloaked Miss entered by herself without bringing a servant girl. Which private room is she in?"
