Chapter Eighty-Three: One Day of Meeting, Your Eyes Are Green
Yu Su's shock was beyond words, even though she had been used to covering all her emotions for so many years, and her joys, sorrows, and sorrows were never exposed, but from the moment she saw Mu Lan, her heart beat rapidly like the sound of horses' hooves fighting on the battlefield, rumbling from far to near.
She never thought that the distinguished guest Xu You invited to the banquet tonight would be an old man she hadn't seen for twelve years.
How old was she when we were separated? Thirteen, or fifteen?
In the blink of an eye, twelve years have passed!
Countless images flashed through her mind, the sweetest of her midnight dreams, and the most indestructible faith that sustained her through these twelve years of suffering.
And now, at this time, in front of him, Mu Lan is standing here alive, making this beautiful dream come back to reality!
"Yu Su, why don't you say hello to Miss Mu?"
Xu You's gentle voice woke Yu Su up from the huge sluggishness, she subconsciously turned her head, saw the smile on Xu You's lips and calm eyes, her heart suddenly tensed, and the sound of horses' hooves that was rumbling like thunder just now disappeared, and her face became a hundred times paler than Youhe paper.
She knew this gentle-looking Lang Jun too well, not only was he extremely smart, but he was by no means a weak and deceitful lord in his bones, since he had brought her and the ugly slave here, he must have already seen everything, and if Mu Lan rashly made any moves, it was likely to put everyone in an irreparable dangerous situation.
Yu Su didn't dare to hesitate at all, he knelt on the ground, his forehead touched the ground fiercely, and said, "Lang Jun, although I am with this ...... Solemn...... Miss Mu has known each other since the Northland, but since she came to Xu Mansion, she has not contacted her privately, let alone betrayed any information that is unfavorable to Lang Jun......"
Mu Lan looked at Yu You, who was humble to the dust, his eyes showed an unbelievable look, and then he suddenly looked at Xu You, his dress and hair were windless, and the whole person seemed to have turned into an unsheathed sword, reflecting the moonlight, blooming with thousands of cold rays.
Xu You only felt a tingling in his eyes, countless extremely sharp rocks rushed towards him, he pretended to be unable to bear the force, let go of the hand holding the ugly slave, and took a few steps back. Zhan Wenjun retreated at the same time, held Xu You's arm with his slender hand, and exclaimed, "Mu Lan, what are you doing?" ”
In terms of acting skills, Xu Zhan and both of them are at the level of Oscars!
Mu Lan was silent, pulled Yu Su up, and then held the ugly slave who remained in place in his arms, and retreated five steps away, to the edge of the cliff, and quickly said something in Xianbei language.
Yu Su struggled to break free, and replied anxiously, his head was always facing Xu You's direction, and his eyes were full of pleading, lest Xu You misunderstand that the two had private dealings, and the trouble was out of control. But the more he was so careful, the more Mu Lan felt that Yu Su had suffered many grievances in Mingyu Mountain over the years, and he didn't know how cruelly he was abused by Xu You, a villain.
The ugly slave was at a loss, she was still young, she had been protected by Xu You too well over the years, she had almost forgotten the sinister world when she was a child, and she didn't react to the sudden change at all, her green eyes like a river and a sea looked at Mu Lan, and then at Yu Su, wondering what they were arguing about.
Xu You had a little liver pain because he couldn't understand it either!
Mu Lan said softly: "Princess, I am ordered by my master to take you home!" ”
Hearing the word "master's order", Yu Su suddenly stopped struggling, looked at Mu Lan stupidly, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears, and saw her nodding slowly and solemnly, first her eyes, then her eyebrows, then her cheeks, to her hair, and finally her face full of scars was all shining.
Brighter than the moon tonight!
Xu You could hear that this sentence was especially important to Yu Yu, but unfortunately he still couldn't understand it. Suddenly, I remembered that there was no news for a long time, there are not many cutting-edge talents who can understand multiple languages in this era, and it can even be said that the rarity is comparable to that of a panda, as if Yuan Qingqi sent her to the south to do things, I don't know how she lived.
However, this is just an accidental flash, just like the wind blowing the leaves, there is no trace in an instant, the past things, the people in the past, Xu You will never be nostalgic, and he will never miss it, he has left the fate of the end, forget the rivers and lakes, and be okay with each other.
Yu Su completely forgot that she was still someone else's slave at the moment, a homeless prisoner bird trapped in Jiangdong, since she was captured by the Chu army and became a camp prostitute, even if she came to Mingyushan to get rid of the predicament, her ruined face has always been shrouded in a breath of death, if it weren't for the ugly slave, no one doubted her determination to die, but hearing Mu Lan's words, she finally came back to life.
Not because of the princess, not because you can go home, but because of the three words "on the orders of the teacher"!
Twelve years, from the pregnant ugly slave forced to leave, he was silent; had no choice but to marry the lord of the border town, but he turned a deaf ear; was defeated and captured, reduced to the lowest camp prostitute in the world, crying dry tears, unable to wait for his help; Resold as a merchant slave, floating all over the sea, day and night, looking north, I can't see his figure.
For twelve years, four thousand three hundred and eighty sunrises and sunsets, no one knows how Yu Yu survived, and no one knows how much inhuman torture and humiliation she suffered, not only physically, but also psychologically, if she wasn't lucky enough to meet Xu You, God knows how long she could last......
However, Yu Su did not have a trace of hatred for that person, because he understood his last resort, understood his predicament and constraints, and the hardships he encountered may be far less than the pain of his empty martial arts and power, but he could not do anything!
From the beginning of escaping from the camp with great difficulty, Yu Su completely gave up the illusion of foreign aid, and only relied on his own body and wisdom to wander among those jackals with human faces and beast hearts, and struggled to protect the ugly slaves from harm. It wasn't until she went to Mingyu Mountain that she slowly lived a normal life, she didn't think about continuing to escape, His Majesty Xu You was very generous, and her access was not restricted, but the problem was that the Hu characteristics of her and the ugly slave were too obvious, and no one helped, so she couldn't escape from the Chu State with many checkpoints. Even if someone was willing to help, she couldn't believe that she had been taught too many lessons before.
In addition, there is a more important question, Dong Solstice has a huge intelligence agency in her hands, and her tentacles are all over Jiangdong, Xu You doesn't nod, even if she turns into a fish, she can't swim in the Yangtze River.
Will Xu You nod?
Yu Su is not sure, she is actually a first-class smart person in the world, otherwise it would be impossible to take the ugly slave through all these years of life and death purgatory, but she has never been able to see through Xu You, if you talk about compassion, Xu You can be said to be the real gentleman she has ever seen; If it is mysterious, there are countless invisible shadows hidden behind this man, enough to swallow his smile and the warm light on his body.
So Yu Yu didn't dare to speak, because Xu You asked her about her origin when he first entered the mansion, and he never mentioned it since!
What does this mean?
It shows that Xu You has no intention of letting her go!
Now, that person suddenly sent his most cherished female disciple to infiltrate Jiangdong and told her in person that he would take her back to the north!
Yu Su fell into a trance!
meanwhile
Jin Se flew out of his sleeve, and five gold threads were wrapped around Xu You's hands, feet and waist respectively, Mu Lan didn't plan to kill him now, and captured him as a hostage, so that they could escape with their whole body.
When it's safe to do so, it's never too late to kill!
All the southerners who have been humiliated too much, starting from those soldiers and ruffians in the Jingzhou camp, there is no one left!
Xu You gently held Zhan Wenjun's jade hand, his face did not change, and he did not move at all.
Su Tiedao came first, slashed the golden wire, and the soft as hair Jin Se trembled slightly, making a piercing birdsong sound. Suddenly, he rolled upside down, as if he had eyes, and attacked Qingming, who was pretending to be one of the four servants.
The tip of each gold wire is connected to the spikes the size of a finger's belly, I don't know what material it is made of, it is not very reflective under the moonlight, it is as dark as ink, it is extraordinary at a glance, no wonder Jingkou easily smashed the red horse boat that night, and easily broke the bones of Gao Qi into corpses.
Qingming put the knife into his arms, spun in place, the sound of clanging was endless, and after a few breaths, the gold wire was completely wrapped around the iron knife, and Mu Lan said coldly: "Let go!" ”
Qingming tapped his toes lightly, abandoned the knife and retreated, but the next moment it appeared strangely behind Mu Lan, and an inconspicuous short sword spat out snake letters, stabbing her in the back of the heart.
Candle Dragon Sword!
This is the treasure that Xu You took from the statue of the Heavenly Master of the past dynasties in the Ghost Well, Qingming has only used it once so far, that is, the ghost master who joined forces with Xu You to kill for six days - the ghost master is in the third grade, one line higher than Mu Lanshang, but he was also unhindered by the candle dragon sword to break through the true qi of the protective body, and directly cut off a hand.
Mu Lan didn't look back, and five golden threads flew, crisscrossing and weaving into a spider web-like defense, standing in front of the short sword. At the same time, the left hand became a fist, and the avenue was simple and easy, so he smashed it into Qingming's chest and abdomen at will.
Qingming does not dodge or dodge.
Flutter!
The cobwebs shattered, Mu Lan sighed lightly, her left fist was withdrawn, she couldn't afford to lose both with Qingming, her body shook slightly, but she staggered three inches at the peak, so that the candle dragon sword lost the target of the attack. Her right hand suddenly tightened, and the iron knife flew back upside down, and she grasped the hilt of the knife, and turned to volley down.
Bang!
Qingming was controlled in an extremely small space by Mu Lan's incomparable true qi, so he had to take the blow hard, spit out blood, retreated into the darkness, and then appeared in front of Xu You, defending with a horizontal sword. He was not injured, but only vomited blood to dissolve the true qi that invaded his body.
The little master of the third grade is really amazing!
If it weren't for the kind of ghostly aura emitted by the Candle Dragon Sword, Qingming could affect people's minds and senses, causing Mu Lan to stagnate, and he should still be stuck there and unable to get out.
Attacking head-on is not his strong point, he originally pretended to be a maidservant, and he was ready to make a sneak attack at the right time, but he didn't expect Mu Lan to take the lead in Xu You so decisively.
Capture the thief and capture the king, this is the art of war!
Xu You clapped his hands with a smile and said, "The girl is so high-cultivation!" ”
Fifty people emerged from the hidden corners of the mountaintop, fanning out, each armed with a powerful new type of crossbow, led by Fang Sinian, who surrounded Mu Lan, Yu Su, and Chou Nu on the edge of the cliff.
There are two people in Ming Yushan who like crossbow machines the most, one is Xu You, and the other is Fang Sinian, relying on the crossbow machine, Xu You broke the killing game of the four arrows, and relied on the crossbow machine to force Lu Tai back. Therefore, when the spiral steel is practiced, the problem of blast furnace and furnace temperature has been solved, and steel of various strengths can be produced in large quantities, and then combined with the advanced crossbow machine technology of later generations, this kind of arm crossbow across the era is newly created.
Yu Su also reacted from the loss of consciousness, was shocked, opened his hand to hug Mu Lan, afraid that she would continue to move, and cried: "Lang Jun, you listen to my explanation......"
"Really?" Xu You said lightly: "Yu Su, how have I treated you in the past five years?" ”
"Lang Jun is as kind to his servant as a mountain, and it is difficult to repay him for being a cow and a horse in this life!"
"Then let me ask you, who is this Mullan girl next to you?"
Yu Yu said mournfully: "I ...... I can't say...... "If Mu Lan's identity is exposed, it will be a great temptation for everyone in Jiangdong, Xu You is certainly kind to her and loves ugly slaves, but the southerners and northerners are mortal enemies for a hundred years, don't forget that sentence, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, she doesn't dare to bet!"
In other words, deep down in her heart, she is not willing to gamble on Xu You's choice with such a temptation, she is afraid of disappointment!
Xu You sighed and said, "You can't even tell her origin, how else can I listen to your explanation?" Year of the Fonds! ”
Fang Sinian opened the arm crossbow, five crossbow arrows were wound, and thirty people were one hundred and fifty crossbow arrows, aiming at Mu Lan, full coverage, no dead ends. This kind of crossbow has not yet been named, and Xu You provided suggestions, Zu Xiao improved the design and production, not only the range and the number of crossbow arrows are more advanced and more lethal than the Lei Gong crossbow, but also can be fired three times in a row with an arrow magazine, similar to the legendary Zhuge repeater, but more precise and scientific.
The ugly slave finally realized that the situation was wrong, and bit his lip stubbornly, looking at Xu You's eyes flashing, tears almost overflowing his eyes. Xu You immediately softened, but he couldn't show the slightest flaw at this time, otherwise Mu Lan caught his mentality of not being able to bear to hurt the ugly slave, and she was likely to hold Yu Yu and the ugly slave hostage like this and leave with a swagger.
Now the situation is reversed, the more ruthless Xu You becomes, the more Mu Lan does not dare to make mistakes easily, she can dodge the crossbow arrows, but Yu Su and the ugly slave can't dodge.
"Girl Mu, although you are a third grade, but after all, there is only one person, I have fifty people here, fifty crossbows, and a thousand people under the mountain, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers in the entire Qiantang, can you escape?"
Mu Lan chuckled and said, "More than 10,000 pigs and dogs, what are you afraid of?" Xu You, you shouldn't actually appear in front of me, Qingming can't protect you, I'll take you first, see which of them dares to do it? ”
"The girl is still ready to move, and it seems that I don't have enough chips." Xu You smiled: "Before you start, let's take a look at the gift I prepared for you!" Bring it on! ”
Lou Diji, Yu Zhong, and seven other egrets were tied hand and foot by iron locks, and they were escorted over by Zuo Yan like cattle and horses.
For the first time, Mu Lan's relaxed face showed a solemn look!
