Chapter 568: Dragons Have Reverse Scales
The afternoon sun shines into the room through the window lattice, spreading on Lu Hanyue's face, adding a touch of brilliance to her pale and delicate face, and making her sleeping look quiet and delicate.
The day before yesterday, Sun Simiao worked hard until night to recapture Lu Hanyue from the hands of the king of Hades, but she was too seriously injured, and her qi and blood were weak.
Suddenly, Lu Hanyue's quiet face was shrouded in a touch of sorrow and horror, a pair of beautiful eyebrows frowned tightly, sweat was dripping on their smooth foreheads, and their mouths kept muttering to themselves.
"Mrs. Yue, what's wrong with you? Wake up, Madame Yue! A delicate maid looked at Lu Hanyue with concern, and gently wiped the sweat on Lu Hanyue's face with a handkerchief, while calling softly.
"Cui'er, what's wrong?" Lu Hanyue opened her sleepy eyes, looked at the maid named Xiaocui with a somewhat confused look, her voice was a little hoarse and weak, and there was a hint of worry in her tone.
"Mrs. Yue, are you having a nightmare?" Xiao Cui put away the handkerchief, then picked up the beautifully crafted silver bowl on the small table on one side, and smiled at Lu Hanyue: "Mrs. Yue, you can do it, the slave maid is waiting for you to drink water!" β
"Good!" Lu Hanyue nodded, drank half a bowl of water very cooperatively, and then frowned and asked, "Xiaocui, what didn't happen in the city mansion today, right?" β
Some time ago, Yang Lihua had been accompanying her, but two days ago, Yang Lihua was injured by the assassin and almost lost her life, even Ling Xiaoyun was also seriously injured. It was Lu Hanyue who was uneasy and asked questions.
"Nope!" Xiao Cui shook her head.
"Don't hide it from me what happened!" Although Xiao Cui concealed it very well, Lu Hanyue's sensitivity as a martial artist still noticed her abnormality, and her heart suddenly sank, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her tone became more serious.
Xiao Cui's delicate body trembled slightly, she didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui Yue's words, it is the little prince who has returned." β
"Husband is back?!" Lu Hanyue said in surprise, but when she saw Xiaocui's face was strange, she wanted to speak and stopped, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart for no reason, so she stared at her tightly and said, "If there is anything else, say it, hurry up!" Ahem! β
Because of her excitement, Lu Hanyue couldn't help coughing, her breathing became heavy and disordered, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.
"Mrs. Yue, don't get excited, don't get excited!" Xiao Cui hurriedly stepped forward and gently comforted Lu Hanyue, and then said after the latter's breath stabilized: "Mrs. Yue, the little prince is injured." After speaking, Xiao Cui immediately remembered something, and said in a solemn tone: "But there is no worry about life." β
"Husband is injured? No, I'm going to see him! Lu Hanyue's complexion changed suddenly, and she was about to struggle to get up from the bed as she spoke, but her body was weak and weak, and she was excited and anxious, but she couldn't get up for a while, but she coughed violently, her pretty face was flushed, and her forehead was full of fine beads of sweat.
The reason why Lu Hanyue was so excited was that she knew that Xingxing's injury was unusual, and it was likely to be extremely serious, otherwise according to Xingxing's temperament and skills, if she could walk, she would definitely come here to take a look. However, now that he has entered the mansion, he has not come, which shows that he is not less seriously injured than himself.
"Mrs. Yue, I can't help it, I can't help it!" Xiao Cui suddenly panicked, and pressed Lu Hanyue back to the bed, her little face was covered with beads of sweat, "Mrs. Yue, your body is not well, Doctor Sun specially explained that he can't let you get up, otherwise something will happen to you, and the prince and slave can't afford it!" β
"I'll go and see, as long as I'm sure the little prince is safe, I'll come back!" Lu Hanyue struggled to herself, but with her current situation, she really couldn't get up.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then I heard Gao Changgong's gentle and clear voice sounding outside the house: "Daoist Yuan, Daoist Yuqing, please!" β
"Slave and maid see the prince!" When Xiao Cui saw Gao Changgong coming in, she was busy paying homage, and she couldn't care about stopping Lu Hanyue anymore.
Hearing the words "Yuqing Dao Chief", Lu Hanyue's whole body suddenly stiffened, no longer struggling, and a pair of wonderful eyes stared at the door tightly, without blinking, his eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
Soon, Gao Changgong's tall figure appeared in the house, followed by a middle-aged Taoist priest with long hair and fluttering hair, fairy wind and bones, with a free and easy posture and an ethereal temperament, which made the whole room bright.
After that, she was a female Taoist priest, wearing an apricot yellow robe that couldn't hide her long and delicate figure, and her skin was even more frosty and snowy, moist and shiny, making people unable to see her age. Although her appearance is not as bright as Lu Hanyue, she is also one in a hundred, and with her cold and dusty temperament, there are few people in the world.
Seeing Daoist Yuqing, Lu Hanyue's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he forgot his words for a while, just watched Daoist Yuqing approach in a daze.
"Yue'er!" As soon as he entered the door, Daoist Yuqing saw Lu Hanyue on the bed, and immediately called out in surprise.
"Masterβ"
Lu Hanyue's delicate body shook slightly, and before the words came out, her voice choked and trembled, and her beautiful eyes were even more teary.
"Good boy, what's wrong with you, there is no news for more than a year, but you are in a hurry to become a teacher!" Yuqing Dao Changlian moved slightly, his body just shook, and the person had already appeared in front of the bed and held Lu Hanyue's hands.
Lu Hanyue was about to speak, but Daoist Yuqing spoke again, his voice full of anger: "Yue'er, why are you so seriously injured, who did it?" As he spoke, Daoist Yuqing's eyes couldn't help but flash a chill, and Xiao Cui's heart trembled in shock, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Daoist Yuqing, it turns out that Yue'er is your beloved apprentice!" Gao Changgong looked at Yuqing Daoist with an apologetic face and said: "Yuqing Daoist, I'm ashamed to say it, if it weren't for Yue'er to save this king, how could he be hurt by a traitor?" It's me who has tired Yue'er! As he spoke, Gao Changgong set his eyes on Lu Hanyue, with nothing but love and self-blame in his eyes.
"Daddy, don't blame yourself, you should protect you in public and private!" Lu Hanyue shook her head with a smile, her tone firm.
"Daddy?" Yuqing Daoist raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Hanyue and Gao Changgong suspiciously.
Lu Hanyue's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at the scrutinizing gaze of Daoist Yuqing, Gao Changgong was also embarrassed, and coughed lightly before saying: "Daoist Yuqing, it's not a secret, but Yue'er has been engaged to Xiao'er for life, and now she is a member of my Gao family." The child acted recklessly, did not ask the Taoist for approval, lost etiquette, and the king made amends to the Taoist here! β
Although Daoist Yuqing was very dissatisfied with Gao Xing and Lu Hanyue's private lifelong agreement and never informed him, he saw Gao Chang bowing and saluting, but he hurriedly dodged away, and chuckled: "The prince is serious!" Poor Dao was originally a monk, without so much red tape, but the apprentice lived in the mountains for a long time, like to dance and play with swords, came to the inner courtyard of the palace, and wanted to add a lot of trouble to the prince! β
Gao Changgong's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Yuqing Daoist, you are wrong, Yue'er is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, and she raises her eyebrows with Xiao'er on weekdays, respects each other like guests, and is deeply liked by the princess!" β
The name of the Yuqing Daoist is Lu Hanyue, but in fact, he is worried that Lu Hanyue will be angry in the palace because of his humble background, how can Gao Changgong not hear how shrewd he is, he is telling him bluntly, firstly, he seems sincere, and secondly, he also hopes that Yuqing Daoist can rest assured, how to say that he is happy to "kidnap" other people's apprentices.
"Since Yue'er is the husband she chooses, she will not interfere with the poor way." After speaking, Daoist Yuqing looked at Lu Hanyue who was bowing his head again, with both doting and a touch of sadness in his eyes, and quipped: "Xiao Yue'er, no wonder you don't want to go back to the mountain for more than a year, but you can't miss it when you find a husband!" β
"Masterβ"
Lu Hanyue let out a low snort, her face flushed, straight to her ears, and she didn't dare to look at anyone else. She has always been cold, showing such a shy posture, which surprised Gao Changgong and couldn't help but laugh.
"You have a wound, so rest well!" Yuqing Daoist helped Lu Hanyue to lie down, and while helping her tuck the quilt corners, he said: "I have seen it for the teacher, Gao Gongzi is not in danger of his life, and it is only right for you to recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind." β
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Hanyue's pretty face was also red, but she still smiled gratefully at Yuqing Daoist.
"You kid, what are you polite to Master?" Daoist Yuqing gently stroked Lu Hanyue's face, and an imperceptible sense of loss and sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Yuqing Daoist, there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, congratulations on your master and apprentice charge!" Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard with one hand and said with a gentle smile: "Let's not disturb the patient's rest, why don't we go to the front hall for a drink or two?" β
"What Yuan Daochang said is extremely true, this king will order someone to buy wine and food again, but tonight he wants to get drunk with three strange people and not return!" Gao Changgong also smiled.
"That's very good." Daoist Yuqing agreed, Sun Simiao also seconded, and the four of them said goodbye to Lu Hanyue and walked towards the front hall together.
Sitting down again, taking advantage of the efforts of the next person, Daoist Yuqing looked at Gao Changgong with a serious face and said: "Lord Wang, the injury of the poor Taoist Guan Yue'er is caused by a fight with a master, although her martial arts are not too clever, but she is not weak, but I don't know who in the world can hurt her so badly?" β
Gao Changgong's face also became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuqing Daoist, it was Gao Song of the Moon Worship Sect who hurt Yue'er, and he still had the upper hand in fighting our four masters alone that day, if it weren't for Yue'er and a few people desperately blocking it, and this king had already prepared, I'm afraid he would have died under Gao Song's sword that day!" β
"Lunatic Cult, Gao Song?" Yuqing Dao Chief's face sank like water, his phoenix eyes were cold, and the heavy cold air exuded from his body made the air in the room plummet, and the coldness of Yuqing Dao Chang containing anger made people shudder: "What an old horseman, he dares to hurt my disciple, do you really think that Poor Dao is a good match?" It seems that after all these years, the Lunatic Cult has forgotten the lessons of the year! β
The dragon swims against the scales, and it will be angry when it touches it. For Daoist Yuqing, Lu Hanyue is her counter-scale, and the Moon Worship Sect is so vicious, it has completely aroused the anger and killing intent in her heart.
