Just when everyone was quarreling over who was going, a clear voice came into the hall. Top 23S.
Fastest update
"Silence!"
Wu Fu frowned slightly, with a look of helplessness in his eyes, and secretly sent a message to everyone, secretly annoyed that he had just been distracted and didn't notice Wu Ming's arrival.
If possible, he really wanted to hide it from Wu Ming.
Just thinking about how brave my young master is, before he has entered the Qi realm, to travel hundreds of millions of miles to Shaolin alone, and to brave the disapproval of the world and offend the Shaolin Temple to death, you can see how courageous he is.
Everyone's expressions tightened, and then they thought that even if the imperial court asked for someone to come from Prince Wu's mansion, they didn't name them.
In this case, anyone can go, as long as he or she will die!
"Fu Bo!"
Wu Ming walked into the hall refreshed, greeted Wu Fu first, then looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "They are all here!"
"See you, my lord!"
Hu Cang, Chai Qing and others hurriedly paid their respects, looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and made up their minds not to say anything.
"It's great to congratulate the young master for his breakthrough in cultivation. Miss Lian, hurry up and prepare for the dinner. You can go back and do your own business!"
Wu Fu ordered with a calm expression.
"yes!"
Hong Lian bowed with her crotch folded, and she and everyone else were about to leave together.
"Uncle Fu, you know you can't hide it from me, so you better tell me openly!"
How could Wu Ming not see it? He walked up to the main seat, took a sip of tea and chuckled.
"Hey, you guys go down first!"
Wu Fu sighed and waved his hands.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally exited the hall as instructed, but they were all waiting outside and did not go far.
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and the surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Young Master, this is what happened..."
Wu Fu pondered for a while and then spoke one by one.
"I have heard about this incident occasionally. It involves a county and countless people. It is absolutely necessary to go. There is no reason to stay out of the matter."
After listening, Wu Ming frowned and nodded solemnly.
"It's true, so everyone wants to go. It's not something that the young master must go to, so..."
Wu Fu considered it.
"So they want to die!"
Wu Ming stood tall and stood with his hands behind his back, his majestic momentum fleeting.
"Why!"
Wu Fu sighed silently.
This is my little master, who can see through the cracks, and although he has only a little knowledge, he can make some general guesses.
Similarly, it is also the reason why everyone is fighting for it. Only Wu Ming can protect the current Wu Prince's Mansion!
"The battle at Youxia Ridge was a narrow escape. If my guess is correct, Uncle Fu should have participated in that battle. In the end, he won with a slight advantage based on the treasure he obtained, right?"
Wu Ming said calmly.
In terms of age and cultivation, only this old man is qualified.
"Yes, it was that treasure back then that made me a master of art. But it was really miserable. A hundred people went and eight came back. Everyone was injured, and almost none of them were perfect. As for the demons and barbarians who returned,
But it’s more than seven tenths!
In this way, after hundreds of years of fighting in Youxia Ridge, the number of people who came back from this battle is enough to rank among the top three."
Wu Fu recalled those days and caressed his broken arm unconsciously.
Although he was not disabled in that battle, whenever he thinks about what happened back then, he will remember the brothers and comrades who fought side by side with him!
Wu Ming's pupils shrank, he didn't expect it to be so miserable.
"In fact, the Song Dynasty has been weak for many years. If the Central Tang Dynasty had not intervened, most of the country would have been invaded by the demon barbarians of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
The condition for accepting the moratorium on war is that every ten years, a battle must be held and the land of a county is used as a bet.
Earlier, in the ten battles of the Song Dynasty, there were still three or five victories, but each time they suffered heavy losses, and all the warriors who died were outstanding. In the end, each family began to avoid the battle, and the warriors they sent were only a few.
Even if the old, weak, sick or disabled die, it will not be a pity.
In the modern century, there was only one tragic victory, and most of the time the entire army was wiped out."
Wu Fu's face showed deep pain, and his left hand clenched his fist and trembled slightly.
Wu Ming was silent.
As a time traveler, although he has regarded himself as a member of Prince Wu's family and shouldered the burden, he does not care much about others.
How about the monster?
In his mind, any ethnic group has the right to survive in this world. For the continuation of the race, killing is inevitable.
There are people who are eyeing him, such as the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty, and there are demons who are very helpful to him, such as the ancestor Xuan Sheng. Can he really tell the difference?
On Earth, humans have never given space to other living beings, and we don’t know how many species have been exterminated!
Therefore, it is difficult for him to feel the pain of Wu Fu!
"Could this be the sense of belonging that I have always lacked?"
Wu Ming asked himself.
"Young Master, let them go in this battle at Youxia Ridge?"
Wu Fu took a deep breath and bowed.
Between Wu Ming and other people's lives, this old man obviously chose the former.
"Fu Bo, please don't do this!"
Wu Ming quickly turned aside, stepped forward to help him, and said solemnly, "Since this matter still has ten days..."
"I know what the young master is thinking, and I will never ignore it. Just this once, please listen to me!"
Wu Fu refused to get up and said stubbornly.
"Why!"
Wu Ming rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment.
Even Wu Fu, the person involved, is so taboo about Youxia Ridge, which shows how dangerous it is.
In fact, Wu Ming really had not made up his mind. After all, his cultivation level was no more than that of a first-level Qi warrior. Even though his martial body could shake a first-level Qi warrior, the powerful villagers among the monsters could almost fight across levels.
Yaoman, who has always been bloodthirsty, tasted the sweetness of victory, and the candidates he sent must be extremely strong. This is also the real reason for the Song Dynasty's many tragic defeats.
Similarly, this is also the reason why Wu Fu does not want Wu Ming to take risks.
Little did he know that it was this attitude that made Wu Ming's hesitant mentality clearer and strengthened his determination to go.
"Uncle Fu, what if I've always wanted to see the place where you fought?"
Wu Ming was silent for a long time and said slowly.
"Young Master..."
Wu Fu raised his head in shock, his eyes even more excited.
"As the saying goes, keeping a business is more difficult than starting a business! Outsiders say that I sell my ancestral property and like to live in leisure. If I don't go through your journey, how will I know the difficulty of starting a business and how to learn how to keep it?"
Wu Ming's words were resounding.
"Can……"
Wu Fu still wanted to persuade.
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. If something doesn't work out, I'll find a place to hide and wait until the trouble comes out!"
Wu Ming said with relief.
"Young Master, the inside is not as good as the outside. Even if you have magical weapons to help you, the elites among the demon barbarians are as good as innate."
Wu Fu was dumbfounded by Wu Ming's jokes.
"It's better this way. I really want to meet those people I met at the Beijin King's tent for a while!"
A cold light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.
"Why!"
Wu Fu was slightly startled, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold, so you cannot take risks easily!"
The conversation between the two was not concealed. Hu Cang and others heard about it, so they rushed in and tried to persuade them.
But even Wu Fu couldn't persuade him, let alone them.
"Haha, there's no need to say any more. I'm going to Youxia Ridge to meet my old friends for a while, and you guys won't be idle either."
Wu Ming felt slightly warm in his heart and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, as long as you have your orders, I will not give up even if I die!"
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that they could not change, and bowed in a deep voice.
"Honglian, are there any clues about those two things?"
Wu Ming nodded slightly.
"During the young master's seclusion, Gu Zhengyang sent secret messages to the mansion several times, and the latest time he entered the mansion secretly.
As for that person's whereabouts, we have some clues, and he also sent a letter to urge us, and we are just waiting for the young master's instructions!"
Honglian took out two files from the bag and said.
"Very good, tell Gu Zhengyang and ask him to bring something to see me. As for that person... I'll put it off for a while and then give her a reply."
Wu Ming glanced through it briefly, and when he saw the second copy, his eyes flashed with surprise.
"yes!"
Honglian responded and retreated.
Although I don't know who that person is, Hu Cang and others, as subordinates, know very well what to ask and what not to ask.
And Wu Ming did intend to hide it from them. After all, Chu Chu's identity was special, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"Let's all disperse!"
Wu Ming waved his hands and said.
Everyone stared at him eagerly, but no one moved a step.
"Don't worry, you will be busy soon!"
Wu Ming smiled and said.
Everyone had no choice but to retreat.
"Uncle Fu, take me to meet my cousin from the Lu family!"
After everyone left, Wu Ming thought for a while and said.
Wu Fu's eyes flashed slightly, and he led him to a secluded small building in the backyard.
In the season when everything revives, the garden in front of the small building is full of green. Through the gap, you can see a quiet girl of fifteen or sixteen who looks like an elf, immersed in reading under the flower stand in front of the building.
Surrounded by several tall wooden shelves, dustpans were placed. There were several kinds of dried medicinal materials scattered on them, and a faint medicinal fragrance could be smelled from a distance.
Several other girls were walking around, taking care of the medicinal materials. When they saw the two of them from a distance, they wanted to pay their respects, but Wu Ming signaled them to move away.
These women were all poor people in Fushou Cave back then. They had been working in the mansion and their loyalty was unquestionable, so they were appointed to important tasks.
"Your Majesty! Mr. Wu!"
It wasn't until the two of them came closer that their figures covered the book. The girl looked up like a frightened deer. When she saw the two of them, she immediately blushed and hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.
"Haha, sister Xiao Wei, there's no need to be polite, let me see who she is!"
Wu Ming smiled and supported him.
This woman is Chai Qing's only daughter, Chai Wei, who studied medicine with Li Donghu and is now assigned to take care of the Lu family.
Mr. Donghu's character is still trustworthy, so there is no doubt about it.
Moreover, neither the master nor the disciple knew his identity.
"Ah, do you want to see the prince now? He is very cruel. He is noisy and drinking every day, or he is just in a daze!"
Chai Wei was obviously a little surprised.
"Oh, if you still have the energy to get angry, it means you're not dead yet!"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up.
Chai Wei tongued out playfully, but only Wu Ming dared to say this.
"Who is making noise outside and disturbing the peace? Where is the wine? Why don't you give me wine?"
At this moment, some weak shouts came from the building.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming chuckled and shook his head, motioning for himself to go in, then backed away from the door and went straight inside.
When the door was opened, there was no pungent medicinal smell as expected. Instead, a calm medicinal fragrance hit my face, and the floor was quite tidy.
Only the bed tent at the base of the south wall was quite messy, there were water stains on the ground that had not yet dried, and there was a man with disheveled hair lying on the ground in front of the bed.
The reason why I say half-cut is because this person’s legs were broken at knee level!
Through the messy hair, Wu Ming could clearly see that a pair of bloodshot, turbid eyes were full of ferocity and madness, but revealed an unconcealable weakness and despair!
