Chapter 118 Huang Rong: You...shameless! (Revised)
Qiu Chuji left very decisively.
Even though his hair was mostly white, he still walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his lower body was extremely stable, and he was quite imposing when calling his disciples back to their rooms, which shows his profound skill.
But Wei Wu said, "He is injured."
"And the injuries are quite serious."
Li Mochou and Huang Rong's expressions changed simultaneously, with the latter blurting out, "A Mongolian master!"
Wei Wu nodded slightly. "Most likely."
If we were to name the master who has recently caused so much turmoil in the Jin Kingdom, it would undoubtedly be Wei Wu, the "King of Hell" of Wei. However, Qiu Chuji placed the Mongol masters first in his words. Such emphasis suggests that he must have already encountered the Mongol masters and suffered a great loss, otherwise he would not have specifically reminded them.
However, this reminder is based on the three people's eyesight. If the three people do not take his words seriously, they will naturally ignore this "good intention".
Li Mochou kicked a pebble in frustration, angrily saying, "You stinking old Taoist, so self-righteous! The Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect are irreconcilable enemies. Who wants to owe him any favors?"
Huang Rong ignored Li Mochou and continued traveling with her. She already knew that this woman was a shy and timid person who might say no, but she might not really mean it.
She considered for a moment, then took out a small green bottle from her bosom, poured out two pills from the bottle, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and threw the small green bottle into Qiu Chuji's room through the window, saying, "Master Qiu, this is the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, a secret recipe from Peach Blossom Island, which has a miraculous effect on regulating true qi."
Wei Wu had been watching Huang Rong's movements closely. Seeing that she really didn't try anything funny, he raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully.
Li Mochou didn't care about any of that. Her eyes darted around, and she crossed her arms in front of her. She snorted, "That old bastard is shameless. He knows that the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect are irreconcilable enemies, yet he still deliberately makes me owe him a favor!"
"Pah! Dream on! This old lady doesn't care about any of that!"
Qiu Chuji walked to the window, raised his hand and grasped the small green bottle containing the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill. After carefully examining it, he solemnly bowed, thanked him, and then gave Wei Wu a deep look. Immediately afterward, the window was slammed shut with a loud "bang".
Li Mochou snorted, and seeing Wei Wu's thoughtful expression, asked him, "What other clues have you noticed?"
"It's nothing, let's go back inside."
While Wei Wu and his two companions were still chatting with Qiu Chuji outside, the newly purchased servants had already entered the courtyard on their own initiative. They were all eager to do something and started cleaning without waiting for their master's instructions. By the time they entered the courtyard, the main room had already been cleaned.
Wei Wu and the other two naturally went into the house together.
The room was sparsely furnished, but everything was kept exceptionally clean. A pot of water was heated on the table, and washed cups were placed upside down on a tea tray.
Wei Wu picked up the cups and pots one by one to examine them. Satisfied to find no poison, he put them down, poured water into one cup, and said, "These Jin people are interesting. I thought our identities had been pretty much exposed by now, but they should have made some preparations. For example, setting up a few shady inns along our route, setting traps in the forest, poisoning the water, and hiding a few traitors among the servants we've hired—to cause us some minor trouble."
Surprisingly, there was nothing there!
"The world is not so dangerous. Besides, what spread before your reputation was the chaos you caused by driving people away from the city time and time again. That requires great skill. How dare the Jin people provoke you so easily?"
I fear the news of your arrival in the city has already reached the palace. The Jin emperor and prime minister are both at a loss as to how to approach you.
"The arrival of those Mongol experts was sudden. Perhaps they heard about you, thought you were a talented person, and came to Bianliang City specifically to wait for you."
You'll likely have to deal with both sides' attempts to recruit and their hostility.
Huang Rong was not surprised by this. There was no smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth always turned up in a habit when she spoke, revealing a faint smile, which made people lower their guard and feel that this beauty was much closer. But after she finished speaking, her lips fell again, and she became much colder, looking somewhat distant.
Wei Wu smiled confidently and arrogantly, his spirits soaring, and said proudly, "Then I'd like to see what their envoy is capable of and what kind of conditions he can offer."
Receiving a gift does not equate to doing something for someone else.
Using their benefits against them is, in a sense, a way of "returning the goods to their rightful owner".
Seeing Wei Wu's confidence, Li Mochou also gained complete faith in him. She sat down directly in front of Huang Rong and skillfully reached for the bamboo tubes at her waist. She weighed three in a row, but they were all empty. A look of sorrow appeared on her face. "There are none left again."
She had to eat something sweet when she took snake gallbladders, otherwise the bitterness would make her gag.
Although she didn't consume snake gallbladders frequently along the way, the long journey was far from easy. Without sufficient nutritional replenishment and with additional physical exertion, Huang Rong's supplies dwindled, and now they were completely cut off.
That's why Li Mochou looked at Wei Wu with a resentful gaze, gently biting her gleaming white teeth and grinding them as she said, "It seems some people have quite the appetite!"
These words did not make Wei Wu feel ashamed at all, but they made Huang Rong blush.
Actually, her swelling had stopped a long time ago, as if the intensity had worn off. However, every time Wei Wu reached out, the comfortable feeling made Huang Rong reluctant to stop. Over time, the two of them tacitly accepted this rather "restrained" massage habit, which is now a hardship for Li Mochou.
"Just because it's not inside the bamboo tube doesn't mean it's not there," Wei Wu said meaningfully.
Li Mochou's gaze followed the voice to Huang Rong, and she nodded in deep agreement, saying, "The granaries are plentiful, but I wonder if Sister Rong would be willing to help me out."
Huang Rong blushed and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about! Go buy yourself some honey!"
"No sugar is as sweet as Sister Rong!" Li Mochou, having learned a bit of shamelessness from Wei Wu, wrapped her arms around Huang Rong and rubbed her fair face against her shoulder. "Good sister, please share some with me."
Upon hearing her words, Huang Rong's heart, which had already softened somewhat, immediately hardened. She hurriedly stood up and pushed the person away, saying, "Are you crazy? You're really crazy!"
Li Mochou stuck out her tongue and said, "It's only a matter of time—oh, dear sister, I'll just give you two more snake galls at most."
Seeing that she couldn't establish a relationship with Huang Rong, Li Mochou had no choice but to offer some "real money" in an attempt to win her over. Although Huang Rong had promised to provide plenty of desserts, those desserts were all for Wei Wu and had nothing to do with her!
Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Li Mochou had actually taken out two snake galls, she had no choice but to agree to the deal against her conscience.
Wei Wu stared straight at him without flinching or dodging, then suddenly laughed and said, "Taking you away from Xiangyang was definitely a profitable deal. You've taken care of all three of our meals."
Huang Rong's oval face instantly flushed, as radiant as the sunset, covered in a rosy blush. Her jade-like ears were rosy, and she turned her head away, ignoring Wei Wu.
But this shameless person also joined in.
"I have to work tonight, so I need to prepare some fine food in advance."
"You are shameless!"
