Chapter 30: The Jade Lion

Wu Zhi patted Cai Fu on the shoulder! "Since the cell is opened by your family, you can live in it in the future!"

Cai Fu's face turned miserable, and he kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Wu Zhi pointed to Liu Timu, who was still calling on the side, "He can live permanently, as for you, just live for a year and a half." ”

Cai Fu felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and thanked him again and again. He thought that this time the king did not know how to punish himself, but when he heard that he was only going to put himself in prison for a year and a half, he naturally had a big accident and was overjoyed.

Wu Zhi turned around and smiled at Zhu Wu: "Mr. Zhu, would you like to go back to the house with me?" At this time, his identity has been revealed, and he can no longer be called Brother Zhu Yunyun.

Zhu Wu bowed and said, "The villain dares to disobey his fate." ”

Wu Zhi motioned to Cai Fu to lead the way, Cai Fu kicked Liu Tiemu, who was still wailing, into a dizziness, and then led the way, and the three of them walked out of the secret prison along the way, just walked out of the secret door, but saw that the thirty or fifty soldiers in front of him were each holding weapons, and the exit was surrounded by water, and he was currently a black-faced cell head, who was looking at Cai Fu coldly.

"Cai Fu! Brother, I can't stop you. As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers to take down the three of them.

Cai Fu was stunned at first, then woke up again, and hurriedly said: "Slow, slow ,......" smiled bitterly and muttered a few words in the cell head's ear, the cell head's face changed greatly, but he knew that this kind of thing was not arranged by Cai Fu, so he secretly glanced at Wu Zhi a few times, waved his hand back, and the soldiers and men dispersed inexplicably.

The cell boss didn't dare to salute Wu Zhi in public, so he only nodded and stepped aside.

Wu Zhi felt a little comforted at this time, after all, the courage of these officials was not yet big enough to turn the sky, and when he saw Cai Fu bringing someone into the secret prison without permission, didn't he immediately turn his face with him?

He smiled at the black-faced cell boss and turned to go outside. When the cell boss saw the smile of the king on himself, he immediately went out of his mind and wandered nowhere, Wu Zhi and the others went for a long time before they were woken up by the military man next to him. With a burst of chagrin in his heart, he glared at the soldier who woke him up a few times, and went to inspect with full spirit.

Wu Zhi got out of the prison and took Zhu Wu away, Cai Fu looked at Wu Zhi's back for a while, turned around and turned back to the prison, and walked towards the secret prison with a black face. Soon. The terrifying screams of the prison rang out, even though they were separated by a thick stone wall. But it also faintly spread to the cell, and the officials were terrified when they heard it......

After Wu Zhi bathed and changed clothes, he came to the living room comfortably, Zhu Wu hurriedly came over to make a big ceremony to formally meet the king, Wu Zhi stopped with a smile, sat down on the main seat, and motioned for Zhu Wu to sit down and taste the fragrant tea. smiled and said, "Sir, do you know what I invited you for?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "The villain vaguely guessed, but he couldn't believe it. ”

Wu Zhi said: "You guessed right, but why can't you believe it?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "The villain was born recklessly, and his status is low......"

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It would be boring if Mr. said these clichΓ©s again, and I don't boast that Mr. has a million armor soldiers in his chest and other official words." Just ask the gentleman a word. Zhibi Northern Expedition. Will you please help me? ”

Zhu Wu suddenly got up, bowed down and said, "I am willing to serve the death force!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded: "Sir, please be seated." ”

After Zhu Wu sat down. Wu Zhi began to ask him about the art of war and tactics, although Wu Zhi didn't understand, he still had the ability to listen to high and low, Zhu Wu didn't talk much, but he often said in one sentence, and those generals who talked about the army on paper had an immediate opinion, Wu Zhi nodded secretly in his heart, compared to Wu Yong, who was better at conspiracy and trickery, probably Zhu Wu's military book battle formation was stronger.

Zhu Wu spoke at the same time as he was also re-examining the noble king in front of him, from the first meeting to before he entered the prison of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhu Wu observed Wu Zhi with the mentality of making friends and pulling together, hoping that Wu Zhi could be used for himself, and now he suddenly found that he was the role of serving others, and naturally he had to observe the characters he was going to assist from another angle.

Zhu Wu has been familiar with military books since he was a child, but he has no way to serve the service, because he is not interested in the nine classics of the imperial examination, he can't come from the academic class, and another "system" system for seeking a background, that is, recommendation, but most of them are famous scribes who are developed, Zhu Wuyin's poetry is not good at all, how can someone recommend it? Zhu Wu had no choice but to invest in a large household, and concentrated on being someone else's staff, adapting the art of war, but he was invincible in the shopping mall, and even won the trust of Kong Taigong.

Now meet your king, seeing that there is a broad road ahead, Zhu Wu is overjoyed, but also listen to Wu Zhi's words, one day will drink horses in Yanyun, but also his own life's wish, a body of ability is meeting the master, Zhu Wu spirits, and Wu Zhi chatted for a few hours, until the sunset, the living room in the lower people lit the yarn lamp, Zhu Wu suddenly woke up, hurriedly said goodbye, Wu Zhi smiled: "In the future, Mr. will be the chief of the palace, it is good to move into the house, and I will always listen to Mr. teachings." ”

Zhu Wu didn't dare to say anything, Wu Zhi didn't allow him to refuse, and immediately ordered someone to clean up the room in the front yard for Zhu Wu, and recruited two miscellaneous servants to go to the inn with Zhu Wu to get his luggage and bedding.

That night, Wu Zhi introduced Zhu Wu and Gu sister-in-law to know each other, the two are both from the rivers and lakes, they should be able to talk, Gu sister-in-law has been entangled by Qiqiao these days, and she has not followed Qiqiao several times, she must live in Gu Sister-in-law for a few more days, Gu Sister-in-law can't stand her grinding, and she is really reluctant to be separated from Qiqiao, so she lives in the house.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Zhi came to the West Cross Courtyard and greeted the jade lion who was rubbing an itch on the plane tree. Duan Jingzhu seemed to get a signal, ran out of the house quickly, stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "The prince is so early!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled slightly: "I don't need you to serve today, I will play with the jade lion!" ”

Duan Jingzhu was very suspicious, and he didn't dare to ask more, he just muttered in his heart, don't be hurt by the jade lion.

The jade lion didn't care if its "servant" followed, saw Wu Zhi walking out, happily followed behind Wu Zhi, one person and one horse out of the back door of the mansion, the jade lion galloped down the street to the north, and disappeared.

When Wu Zhi was tired and panting, he rushed to a small forest more than ten miles outside the north gate, where the jade lion was gnawing on the grass on the ground and heard footsteps. The jade lion turned around, then hissed, and rushed towards Wu Zhi, Wu Zhili ignored it, lay on the ground, spread his hands and feet into a big character, and comfortably basked in the morning sun.

The jade lion rushed in front of Wu Zhi with a fierce momentum, his legs raised, and he was about to step on Wu Zhi. Wu Zhi still didn't move. The jade lion hissed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Wu Zhi's trickery, but he was reluctant to destroy the "toy" like this, so he retracted his hooves stupidly, lowered his head and bit Wu Zhi's shirt and pulled it violently.

With the sound of tearing clothes, Wu Zhidi's cloth was bitten by the jade lion after a while, and Wu Zhi got up slowly and crawled clumsily towards the jade lion. In the first few days, the jade lion did not let Wu Zhi touch the ground. It was even more unruly to ravage Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi persevered, entangled with it every day, and later, probably the jade lion also thought this "toy" was very interesting, and sometimes deliberately let Wu Zhi put on its back and then throw Wu Zhi off. The riding skills shown by the partial martial arts are extremely clumsy. Often, the jade lion ran a few steps quickly, and Wu Zhi fell off the horse with a shout. Gradually, the jade lion fell in love with this show, and it became one of the "subjects" that ravaged Wuzhi every day.

As always. Wu Zhi leaned over on the horse's back and firmly hugged the horse's neck, the jade lion neighed, withdrew his legs and ran towards a stream by the woods, it liked to throw Wu Zhi in the stream the most, but this time it was disappointed, and when it ran to the side of the stream, its legs stood up suddenly, and the picture of Wu Zhi screaming and falling did not appear, Wu Zhi still firmly hugged its head and neck, and did not hum.

The jade lion ran a few steps quickly, stopped suddenly, and raised his hind legs high, intending to throw Wu Zhi out of his head, but Wu Zhi not only did not fall out, but tightened his hands hard, and the jade lion was strangled in pain, and suddenly became furious, wild and fierce, jumped left and right, and struggled to shake his body, trying to throw Wu Zhi off his body.

Wu Zhi strangled its head and neck, although the jade lion was dizzy for a while, but he knew that if he didn't subdue it today, he was only afraid that there would be no more opportunities to get close to the ground, and he didn't care about it at the moment, but he just hugged its neck, and the jade lion couldn't get rid of him, and ran up violently, Wu Zhi only felt the sound of the wind swishing in his ears, but he didn't dare to open his eyes, just force, the jade lion kicked and jumped wildly, like a madman, and he didn't know how far he ran out, and he didn't know how many hours he tossed, Wu Zhi was dizzy, almost fainted, and his stomach was sour, But it was the intention of forcibly vomiting, and there was no other thought at this time, only telling himself that he could not give up, and he must not give up, and strangled the neck of the jade lion with both hands, and let the jade lion shake his head and jump his tail, and never turned his back upside down.

The jade lion's breathing gradually became uncomfortable, suffocating, and he jumped a few times wildly, and suddenly stood still. Wu Zhi knew that it had softened at this time, and Wu Zhi, who had fallen into a semi-coma, was still dead with his arms, strangling the neck of the jade lion, making the jade lion hissing non-stop, Wu Zhi was awakened by it, and looked down to see the jade lion standing still obediently, his heart was relieved, and he couldn't support it anymore, so he fell off the horse suddenly, vomited heavily, and only vomited the contents of the stomach cleanly, as if the bile in the bitter gall was also vomited clean.

Collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, the jade lion over there was wet, and the big horse eyes looked at Wu Zhi, but unfortunately there were too few feelings that could be expressed in the horse's eyes, otherwise it would be wonderful, probably admired? Got contempt? Angry? The Jade Lion's feelings must have been extremely complicated.

After resting for a long time, Wu Zhi slowly got up, his back ached, needless to say, he was sheathed by a goldless sword, and he didn't bring a goldless sword on weekdays, but today he was alone, so he naturally had to bring his own talisman treasure, and now the small life was extremely moist, and Wu Zhi didn't want to accidentally lose his life.

Looking up, he and the jade lion were on a loess path, with large areas of crops on both sides, and there seemed to be an official road not far away.

Since I don't know where I am, I can only walk along the official road, and then inquire when I meet the villages and towns, and walk to the jade lion, I thought that the jade lion would lick his master a few times, but who knew that it turned its head, and ignored Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi smiled, and didn't care, as long as you abide by the "BMW principle" and recognize me as the master.

Turning over the horse, gently pinching the horse's belly, the jade lion raised his head and ran towards the official road unhurriedly.

This is a north-south avenue, Wu Zhi has been closing his eyes when he comes, and he doesn't know the direction of the Jade Lion's running, and he doesn't know whether to go south or go north at this time. Only the letter horse was reined, and the jade lion galloped north.

After crossing a few paths, Wu Zhi suddenly felt that the objects in front of him were a little familiar, and when he raised his eyes, there was a dry well overgrown with weeds more than a dozen steps away from the official road. Wu Zhi woke up fiercely, it turned out that this was the official road to Zhending Mansion, and it was time to go to Wujiazhuang not far from the north, but he didn't expect the dead horse to toss out hundreds of miles, look at the sky, the sun was hanging in the west, it was already afternoon, Wu Zhi felt hungry and thought about it. It's good to go to Samurai. Zhu'er has been gone for a few days and has not returned, is Da Niu very sick? Just go and see for yourself.

At the moment, the jade lion was urged to gallop northward like a fly, and after a while, he had seen the three-way intersection in front of him, and the three roads led to Hujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Wujiazhuang respectively, Wu Zhi patted the horse's head and signaled the jade lion to go in the middle, at this time. A white shadow suddenly jumped out at the intersection leading to Hujiazhuang, startling the galloping jade lion, and with a long neigh, the person stood up, Wu Zhi couldn't catch it off guard, and almost fell off the horse. In a hurry, he reached out and grabbed the jade lion's mane. That's not the way it fell. But the jade lion was in pain, and couldn't help but hissed a few more times.

"Huh? You're a great horse! "The light voice is timeless.

Wu Zhi turned his head. More than a dozen steps away, one person and one horse, the girl's white dress is like snow, beautiful and indescribable, it is the third sister Hu; Carved by white jade, the aura is well-behaved, also known as "jade Jiao".

"It's okay." Wu Zhi looked at the beautiful face a dozen steps away and smiled slightly. That day, the third sister of Hu single-handedly supported Wujiazhuang, although the attitude was not very good at the time, but in hindsight, people are born with that kind of temper, and it is no wonder that she is in trouble, but she Zhuangzi is in trouble and people will help immediately, it can be seen that this woman is also hearted, and she does not have to keep in mind the hatred of that sword, otherwise it will look like a dignified man with a small belly.

Third Sister Hu looked at Wu Zhi, who was gray-headed and ragged, and there was an imperceptible smile on her beautiful face, but it was fleeting, "I'm leaving!" The three words spit out, Yu'er hissed, turned around and galloped towards the path leading to Hujiazhuang.

Wu Zhi looked at her back and smiled slightly, a girl who comes and goes like the wind is rare. patted the head of the jade lion's horse, meaning that we should also go.

The jade lion shook its head and jumped out violently, but it went straight to the path leading to Hujiazhuang, Wu Zhi was stunned, hurriedly grabbed its mane, and said in his mouth: "Wrong, wrong!" ”

The jade lion didn't care about it, just ran fast, it was actually four hooves like flying, it seemed to gallop with all its might, and the trees on both sides were rapidly retreating, Wu Zhi was so angry that he just wanted to smash a few punches on his horse's head, why was he so disobedient?

But the jade lion has just been tamed, there is no saddle reins, it is really difficult to control, if you smash it a few punches, in case you lose your temper, how can you part ways with your master?

Wu Zhi was depressed, the jade lion suddenly stopped, Wu Zhi was cold and almost flew out of its horse's head, grabbing the horse's mane as usual, the strange thing is that this time the jade lion did not neigh, it will also endure the pain? Wu Zhi was curious for a while, and looked up, but saw that the third sister was looking at him with a slight surprise a few steps away.

"Ah, didn't you just come out of Zhuangzi? Why are you rushing back again? Wu Zhi was embarrassed, so he had nothing to say.

The third sister seemed a little happy when she heard Wu Zhi ask about her whereabouts, and explained: "I originally wanted to go to Zhending Mansion, but I remembered that there were some things in Zhuangzi that needed to be cooked, so I rushed back, and you just wanted to ask me this?" ”

Wu Zhi nodded again and again, but said in his heart Why am I asking you this? It's not my baby jade lion who has a convulsion, so I talk nonsense.

Hu Sanmei said: "Is there anything else?" ”

Wu Zhi shook his head: "It's okay, girl, please." ”

Hu Sanmei nodded slightly, pulled the reins, and the white shadow went away like the wind.

Wu Zhi frowned and looked at the jade lion, pulling its mane: "Hey, don't get nervous, let's go!" ”

The jade lion was very obedient, Wu Zhi's voice fell, and his body immediately jumped out, but he ...... chased after Hu Sanmei again......

Wu Zhi was stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses, afraid that the jade lion, a lewd horse, had a lustful heart and fell in love with Yu'er Jiao, so he chased after it, and he didn't say a word when he scratched it just now, it turned out to be in front of the beautiful horse to maintain its image. But the problem is that you're soaking your sister and you're done, why do you put on a cool look after catching up? Li didn't bother to pay attention to Yu'er, but it was as if he was ordered by his master to catch up, so that he still had to talk nonsense with the third sister Hu, how could there be a beast who asked the master to carry the black pot? The more Wu Zhi thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but scold: "Dead beast! ”

"Huh", the jade lion stopped sharply again, Wu Zhi secretly added a little strength to vent his anger when he grabbed its mane this time, the jade lion still didn't say a word, and the horse's head turned around, without looking at Yu'er. made Wu Zhi so angry that he smoked.

"...... are you" Third Sister Hu looked at Wu Zhi, her eyes full of questions.

Wu Zhi said helplessly: "There are some things I want to ask you." "You can't tell someone else's big girl that my mount is in heat, right?

Hu Sanmei said "oh", "Ask." ”

Wu Zhi looked left and right, there was a small forest faintly in the distance, and immediately pointed: "Let's go over there and talk." "I sighed in my heart, Jade Lion, Jade Lion, since I have recognized me as my master, I can't treat you badly, so I will give you a chance today. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on your land. I couldn't help but laugh dumbly after chattering. I really looked at it as a human being.

Hu Sanmei looked at the direction of Wu Zhi's finger, her face couldn't help but heat slightly, that forest is the favorite place for young men and women in Sanzhuang to go to trysts, Hu Sanmei listened to her maid chatter.

"Let's go." Third Sister Hu regained her composure in a blink of an eye, very curious about what Wu Zhi wanted to say to herself.

The two of them urged their mounts, and dozens of miles were instantaneous, the grove was very quiet, and the slightly rising soil slope was full of green grass and wild flowers, exuding the fragrance of the earth.

The two dismounted. Wu Zhi smiled and patted the jade lion's head: "Go play!" He turned to the third sister and said, "Let's go sit over there for a while." ”

Hu Sanmei nodded, the two walked towards the dirt slope, Wu Zhi secretly glanced back, Yu'er was tilting her head, pacing to the east with a proud look, although the jade lion also put on a cool look. Take a few steps to the east. Take a walk around the west. But the ultimate goal is to rub towards Yu'er.

Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, this dead horse. It's really hypocritical.

There were a few wooden stakes behind the slope that were cut down and left behind, and Wu Zhi and Hu Sanmei sat down and looked at each other speechlessly. Hu Sanmei is not good at words, and she doesn't like to talk. Wu Zhi had nothing to say.

After a while, Wu Zhi pointed to the third sister's white dress: "The girl is not afraid of getting dirty?" "I regretted it after asking, obviously I didn't have anything to say.

Hu Sanmei shook her head, "Don't be afraid." ”

Wu Zhi said casually: "Why aren't you afraid?" It's not pretty if it's dirty. ”

Hu Sanmei somehow became happy and said: "This dress was given by the master, saying that it is woven from the snow silk of the Tianshan Mountains, and the dust is not stained, although it is not as good as the master said, it is not easy to dip in dirty things, but it is true." As he spoke, he stood up and turned around, "Look, isn't it dirty?" ”

Wu Zhi was stunned by the little daughter she suddenly revealed, and nodded: "It's not dirty." "Then I thought that there was such a good thing, and I had to find a way to get one for Jin Lian.

"I don't know who the Venerable Master is? Can Wu meet him? ”

Hu Sanmei shook her head: "I haven't seen her for a long time, the master is a master in the world, and I don't know where she is now." ”

Wu Zhi didn't feel a little disappointed and sighed softly.

"The BMW of the Wuzhuang Master is a very divine horse, it seems to be the legendary national treasure of the Liao Kingdom, the Jade Lion of the Night?"

Few people knew about Duan Jingzhu's theft of the Jade Lion from Liao, and as for the dedication to your king, only Zengtou City knew about it, and Zengtou City didn't dare to publicize it everywhere, so they wished they could forget about it quickly.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "I don't know about this, I just got it unintentionally, but looking at the look of this horse, it is very similar to the legendary jade lion in the night." ”

Hu Sanmei nodded, and pointed at Wu Zhi's face again: "You were injured when you subdued it?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "Yes, this horse is too wild, it takes me a lot of effort to subdue it." Suddenly, he was curious: "Your jade horse also worked hard to subdue?" "The third sister of Hu should have subdued Yu'er a few years ago, when she should have been a little girl, thinking of the scene of this beautiful little girl fighting with a fierce horse, Wu Zhi laughed for a while.

Third Sister Hu shook her head: "Yu'er grew up with me since she was a child. ”

Wu Zhi nodded, she was lucky.

After chatting for a few more words, Wu Zhi suddenly asked: "Miss Hu, there is a sentence that I take the liberty to ask, I don't know what Taigong Hu thinks of my Wujiazhuang?" ”

Hu Sanmei was silent for a while, and said lightly: "He is him, and I am me." ”

Wu Zhi sighed, and then said: "Well, I hope that Hu Taigong can distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable." "I sighed casually, but I regretted it after speaking, how could I curse my father in front of my daughter.

The third sister frowned slightly: "If you want to move your father, the master of the martial arts village still needs to ask the third sister about the three-foot Qingfeng in her hand." ”

Wu Zhi smiled, "Wu lost his words. ”

Hu Sanmei didn't expect Wu Zhi to change his words, and he had the impression that this martial arts owner was very proud, and he was sarcastic about him for a few words, just to fight for a breath. I thought that after I finished speaking, he would definitely speak ill of him, but he didn't want people to laugh and change his words, Hu Sanmei was surprised, and she was slightly relieved in her heart.

Wu Zhi saw that it was already early, got up and said, "Go back to Zhuangzi." ”

Hu Sanmei nodded, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of argument at the edge of the grove, and what words like "Zhujiazhuang" and "Wujiazhuang" were being said in her mouth.

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, walked a few steps, hid behind a big tree and looked over, there were two people dozens of steps away, one of them was blocked by a tree and could not see his face, and the other seemed to be Zhujiazhuang's second brother Zhu Hu.
