"Most people don't know anything, so there's no point in blaming them." Jiu'er smiled and continued eating.
Jiuhuangshu will never have any complaints against the people. Although the people's trust and admiration for him is a burden, for Jiuhuangshu, regardless of whether he has the people's admiration or not, he will definitely do what he should do.
Do.
The people who should be protected will also be protected.
"Emperor Qiwen is probably teaming up with Nanmen Ye this time and is determined to deal with the Ninth Prince. If they suddenly send troops...
Little Cherry was really worried. If troops were sent over there, wouldn't it really mean that the Ninth Prince would have an army to fight against so many enemies?
Although the Ninth Prince still has troops in other cities, other cities also need the protection of the army, and large armies cannot be mobilized just by mobilizing them.
"At this time, they will not send troops to Phoenix City. Emperor Qiwen is an emperor, and he also needs to be responsible for his own people." Jiu'er shook his head.
In fact, Emperor Qiwen may really not care whether he is responsible or not, but he needs his good reputation.
I would like to ask, can an emperor who sends troops to his own city when it is invaded by foreign enemies be a good emperor? He may be infamy for eternity.
"But Jiu'er, haven't you always been worried that Emperor Qiwen and the Nanmen clan's army will send troops, leaving Prince Nine to be attacked from both sides?"
Little Cherry is a little confused, why Jiu'er said now that they won't send troops?
"It's impossible to send troops, but it's possible to bring reinforcements."
After thinking about Jiu'er's words for a moment, Qiao Mu immediately understood it, but Little Cherry still couldn't understand: "What do you mean? Will the Dog Emperor help the Ninth Prince? I don't believe it."
"They don't want to help the Nine Emperors, but they want to directly occupy Phoenix City on the pretext of sending troops for rescue!"
"The Dog Emperor! So insidious!" Jiu'er said this, and Little Cherry immediately understood!
Now the supply of weapons and food is cut off. When the Ninth Prince cannot hold on any longer, he will occupy Phoenix City on the pretext of sending reinforcements!
At that time, if the Ninth Prince can be secretly eliminated, it can also be said that the Ninth Prince died in the hands of the enemy!
Damn it! Absolutely abominable! How could there be such a shameless dog emperor!
"I'm afraid Emperor Qiwen can't do this alone." Qiao Mu is relatively calm, but Jiu'er's thoughtfulness is really admirable.
Jiu'er seemed to be able to see through many things at a glance, so she still needed a little reminder.
"Jiu'er, do you want to travel tonight?" It takes half a day to walk from the north of the city to the south. If you travel at night, you can still cover a little distance.
"I'm on my way tonight." Feng Jiu'er shook her head, "We'll go back to rest after eating. Tomorrow... we'll set off early in the morning. I'll call you."
"Okay." Anyway, the city gate is not open at night and will only open in the early morning. Therefore, if we go there in the early morning, we will arrive at the south of the city in the early morning.
It's just that if you don't rush at night, it's a bit hard in the early morning when people are at their weakest.
"At night, I'm afraid people who admire Mu will look for me."
Feng Jiuer reminded everyone with one word. Qiao Mu nodded and consciously put away the leftovers.
Little Cherry also helped clean up. Their room was next door. Soon, Feng Jiuer and Xue Gu were the only two people left in the room.
"I'll get you some bath water." Xue Gu turned around and went out, and soon came back with two buckets of hot water.
After bathing and changing clothes, Xue Gu sat outside. After Feng Jiuer was washed, she used whoever she had washed to clean herself, and she didn't feel there was any problem at all.
Serving Jiu'er seemed like he was used to it. Jiu'er didn't know when he developed this habit, but it definitely wasn't the past few days.
This kind of habit seems to have been used for many years, or it has been there many years ago.
Maybe Xue Gu just regarded her as someone's shadow, and Jiu'er just didn't know who else could serve someone as powerful as Xue Gu.
Xue Gu quickly changed her clothes and came out. Seeing Jiu'er staring at her, she asked lightly: "Is something wrong?"
"Xue Gu, why do you have to wear a human skin mask? Doesn't it feel uncomfortable when you wash your face? Are you afraid that someone will recognize you?"
If she guessed correctly, Xue Gu has lived in Snow Lotus Mountain for many years. Could it be that she has been wearing a human skin mask for all these years?
Hearing this, Xue Gu slowly reached out and touched her face.
If she hadn't said it, she seemed to have forgotten about the human skin mask. Even when she washed her face, she would just wash it without fear of it falling off.
"It's just a habit." After all these years, who else would remember her old bones?
Suddenly, Aunt Xue raised her finger, and a human skin mask was ripped off by her.
Feng Jiuer's face was pale, and she didn't know if it was because she had been wearing human skin all year round, but Feng Jiuer stared at her face, unable to regain her composure for a long time.
"What? Do you still have an impression of my face?" What impression could such a young child have?
Jiuer blinked, and after a while he whispered: "I have seen you, absolutely."
"Yeah." Xue Gu didn't even deny it. She threw down the human skin mask and walked to the bed to tidy up the sheets for her.
She is neither a stunning beauty nor an ugly person. Her face has no special features. Even if she is described in words, it can only be described with the word "ordinary".
Wearing a human skin mask is really just a habit. It was really to hide my identity at first, but then I went to Snow Lotus Mountain and I basically haven’t seen anyone in so many years.
But once you get used to wearing a mask, it doesn't matter whether you take it off or not.
Jiu'er stared at her back and realized that she was really used to it and had no so-called precautions.
If you don't wear it now, it doesn't matter.
Xue Gu is really a very strange person.
"You had a master before, didn't you?" she asked suddenly.
Xue Gu's fingertips paused slightly, but her expression didn't change much. She was still making the bed for her. She nodded: "Yes."
"But even Hu Xiaodie is just your apprentice." Jiu'er really couldn't figure out who could be such a powerful person as her master?
Xue Gu understood what Jiu'er meant, and her eyes fell on the shadow cast by the candlelight. She didn't know what was covering her eyes, as if she was remembering, but also helpless.
After a while, she said calmly: "How can my master be comparable to that guy Hu Xiaodie?"
Jiu'er did not continue to ask. If Xue Gu wanted to say it, she would definitely tell her who the master was. If she didn't tell her, then she didn't want to tell her.
Unexpectedly, Xue Gu suddenly said: "My former master... is just like you, wise, brave, thoughtful, benevolent and righteous!"
