Section XXXIII

Wu Gong smiled slightly: "Such a difficulty, the old man can naturally take it into account. But the princess is a woman after all, and as long as Governor Wu refuses herself, she will die, and she will naturally turn her energy to my son. In this way, it is a great joy for Madame, for the Governor, and for everyone. ”

Although he smiled, there was a needle in his words, and there was a threat in it. Wu Ming was very unhappy in his heart, but although he had a good impression of Esther, it was far from the point of a relationship between men and women. Moreover, his wife is by his side, and it is not good to fight with Wu Gong at this time, once this happens, it will inevitably cause Zhu Yuqing to misunderstand, thinking that he and Ester really have a personal relationship. And then the condition worsens, which is not very good. Just as the promise came down, Zhu Yuqing said suddenly: "Wait." ”

Wu Gong was stunned again, and said impatiently: "What advice does Madame have?" Obviously, Zhu Yuqing interrupted repeatedly, and he was already a little displeased. Seeing that Wu Ming's face was unhappy, he immediately changed his smile and said: "Governor Wu is not shallow, not only has such a special beauty as his wife, but also has a white head appointment with the daughter of Governor He, which can be described as the blessing of all people, hugging left and right." If the saint of our country remarries him, then the affection of the governor is to share the profit between the three of them, and I am helping the lady, is it ......?"

Although he said this in a joking tone, the meaning of his words was the most clear. Zhu Yuqing glanced at Wu Ming, and said with a smile: "The love affair between men and women, the first thing is to be happy with each other, the grandfather is so forced, it can't help but be a little domineering, my husband can bear it, but the little woman can't accept it." ”

After the Battle of Guangyang, Wu Ming and You Luli talked for a night, and Zhu Yuqing later learned that Zeng was coquettish, which made Wu Ming embarrassed. Saying this now makes Wu Ming inexplicable, looking at her appearance, she is pushing back, and she is clearly matching herself and Esther. Xiaoqing, what's wrong? Is it sexually transformed?

Duke Wu was quite surprised, his face sank, and he turned to Wu Ming and said, "What your lady said, may mean the Governor's seat?" ”

He asked Wu Ming bluntly, but Zhu Yuqing couldn't say more, so he could only open a pair of big black and white eyes and glance at his husband. The two have been husband and wife for many years, although they don't know what their wife means, but Wu Ming knows that Zhu Yuqing will not mess around, and he has no purpose. Thinking of this, Wu Ming smiled and said: "Grandpa thinks too much, the matter between me and the saint is purely someone else's chasing after the wind, we have nothing." If I say it rashly, I'm afraid it will be a bit abrupt. ”

Wu Gong's face was gloomy as water, and he said slowly: "In this way, Lord Wu is unwilling?" ”

Wu Ming was even more dissatisfied in his heart, this old thing persecuted me again and again, and again and again, did he really think that he was afraid of him. He also lowered his face: "The governor has made it clear, doesn't the grandfather think that it is difficult for some strong people?" ”

Wu Gong stood up: "Since Governor Wu doesn't give face to the old man, then he can only toast and not eat, and eat and drink." ”

Wu Ming helped Zhu Yuqing to stand up, and his heart was awe-struck. This old thing has a fiery temper, is he really going to do it here? Just waiting to say something. Zhu Yuqing smiled and said: "My husband's trip can be related to the death of a countryman." And the death of a Chinese student is a major matter related to the life and death of your country, and my grandfather must think clearly. ”

Wu Gongbao's eyes widened, and he sneered: "The old man knows very well, this lady is bothered. Although he said it, his face was blue and red, and he was obviously a little uncertain.

The two sides were confronting each other, and suddenly heard a commotion on the other side, and Wu Gong shouted: "What's the matter, who is making a noise?" "He is very strict in governing the army, and he is angry at this time, and between his words, he is even more unkind.

While several people were arguing, the big ship went all the way, and the south bank of the Azure River was already in sight. The noise was so loud that it was clearly discernible even from a distance.

A personal soldier ran to the bow of the boat, put his hand on the pergola and looked around, and then ran back with a shocked face: "Grandpa, look at the honor guard flag, I'm afraid that the saint has arrived." ”

Wu Ming was taken aback, Esther actually came? remembered all the things that the two got along, and he still owed each other five hundred healthy camels. Even if he thinks he is open-minded, he is a little panicked. couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yuqing, and pinched the other party's hand and couldn't help but tighten.

It wasn't until now that he realized that Zhu Yuqing's palms were full of sweat. Wu Ming felt pity in his heart. No matter how smart she is, after all, she is only a weak woman in her early twenties, although she talks eloquently, she is also very nervous, and Wu Gong's temper is already known for being irritable. I'm afraid that the old thing will turn her face, why shouldn't she be in her heart?

Wu Gong glanced at Wu Ming again, and shouted to the soldier: "What are you doing in a daze, ready to land!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and stood quietly on the deck, letting the big ship cleave the waves and slash all the way to the opposite shore. When they got closer, they saw flags waving on the shore, and a large group of people looking at the shore from afar. These people rode camels and carried long sticks at their waists. Even if you are far away, you can see the bright bald head, which is the monk of the temple. The first person was dressed in white fluttering, with a veil on his head and a slender figure. There is no need to guess, there is no doubt that it must be Esther.

As soon as the boat docked, Wu Gong didn't even bother to say hello, and left directly in a huff. Wu Ming helped Zhu Yuqing get off the boat, and before he could stand firmly, Esther had already stepped forward and said loudly: "General Wu, are you okay?" ”

There was panic in her tone, and even her voice changed slightly. Wu Ming was a little moved, and said with a smile: "What can happen in this blue sky and white day." ”

Esther was anxious, and before she could react, she hurriedly said, "I mean, grandpa didn't embarrass you." ”

Wu Ming's heart moved, and he said, "Why did the princess say this?" My grandfather was hospitable and came to greet me in person, so why be embarrassed? ”

Esther pulled the veil on her head to the side and said with a slight reproach, "Did he leave in a huff just now, like he was hospitable?" You're a liar. She got off the camel, looked Zhu Yuqing up and down, and said with a crisp smile: "Such a lovely child, it must be Miss Zhu, the daughter of the prime minister of the Southern Han Dynasty." ”

Her voice is already soft and beautiful, sweet and charming. Seeing that Wu Ming was safe and sound, his speech slowed down, sounding more like he was coquettish. Wu Ming was greatly embarrassed, but he also knew that Esther had a soft flattery to the bones, which was innate. Just as he didn't know what to do, Zhu Yuqing glanced at him and smiled: "He, now he has two wives." The princess is so sure, my surname is Zhu and not He? ”

The words "Mrs. of the Two Rooms", Zhu Yuqing bit very hard. Wu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, just now Xiao Qing was talking nonsense, as if he had the intention of matching himself and Esther, but now he was jealous, and he didn't know what she thought.

Esther said coquettishly: "Letting the governor go to Gehan to live the blood for the master is naturally not free. In exchange, we in Persia had to cure our lady of her infirmity. This is what I have agreed with Governor Wu for a long time. Even so, the person who traveled with him was naturally Mrs. Qing. ”

Although he had known about this for a long time, Zhu Yuqing was still moved. The national teacher of Persia is not only the religious leader of Persia, but also the spiritual leader. How much favor is this to renew the life of his national teacher? If it weren't for his own infirmity, how much would Persia have to compensate Amin for this alone? But these things are all wasted because of themselves. Thinking of this, her heart softened, and she lost the interest of studying further. He said softly: "No matter what, the princess can be regarded as indirectly saving my life, thank you here." ”

Wu Ming was stunned again, and hurriedly interjected: "By the way, why did the princess come here." When the two met, they thought they were going to have a verbal battle, but Zhu Yuqing was very abnormal. Although Wu Ming was a little unclear, he was also secretly glad and hurriedly changed the topic.

Esther rolled her eyes again: "Why did you come here, naturally I came to pick you up and go to Gehan." ”

Pick me up and go to Gehan? It's also too far. Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have such a big face, and I actually work to welcome the princess." ”

At this time, the flow of people gradually dispersed, but there were still many soldiers coming and going. Esther looked around, stopped talking a little, and paused: "Don't be busy talking about this first, you pack your bags and come with me early." ”

Wu Ming was taken aback, and couldn't help but say, "In such a hurry, don't you go to say goodbye to Wu Gong?" ”

Esther said with some anger: "What is there to say goodbye, hum!" He turned to a few monks and said, "Don't be here, come with me to help Governor Wu carry things, and get on the road early." As she spoke, she was already leading a large group of monks towards the boat with a scent of incense.

Wu Ming looked at her back, a little uneasy in his heart. Looking at Esther's attitude towards the martial arts, I am afraid that the contradictions within Persia have been put on the surface. This time to go to Gehan, I am afraid that it is also dangerous, and it is not as easy as imagined.

Just thinking about it, Zhu Yuqing pulled him and whispered: "You still told me that it's nothing, the princess looks at you, there is obviously something, she must be lying to me." ”

When Wu Ming heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "There really isn't!" Besides, the eyes are wrong, I think it's ordinary, why do you think it's wrong? At this time, Esther had already turned to the big ship, and was loudly directing a group of monks to help Wu Ming's soldiers carry things. Zhu Yuqing stared at her slender back, and said seriously: "A woman's intuition." ”

Wu Ming was dizzy for a while, and he didn't know what to say. Zhu Yuqing smiled: "But I believe in Ah Ming more." With your wooden character, it's definitely nothing. ”

Wu Ming was even more speechless, and pulled her up and walked into the distance. The parts of the cart had been removed from the ship, and a dozen of his own soldiers were assembling them there. Thinking of what happened just now, Wu Ming still didn't know why, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaoqing? ”

"Huh!?"

"Just now, Wu Gong asked me to clear up the relationship with Ace, why did you interrupt and resolutely refuse?"

Zhu Yuqing pursed his lips and smiled: "Isn't this what you want?" Seeing her husband's embarrassed face, she stared at Wu Ming with a straight face and said, "Ah Ming, you have to remember." Now you are the governor of a province, and your words and deeds are closely related to China and the West. Wu Gong's move was only a matter for his son's marriage. But the toughness in the words can be seen by anyone, and if you rashly agree, it will inevitably leave him with the impression of being cowardly and easy to bully. In the future, it will be even more difficult to do it, so it is better to refuse now, so as not to have many things in the future. ”

She coughed, and said seriously and quietly: "This is going to Persia, you must always remember this, and you must not nod lightly if you should not agree." Think twice before you act, and don't be controlled by others because of my physical causes. ”

Seeing that her little face was pale, and she was still there to give advice for herself, Wu Ming was only moved in his heart, and pinched her little hand and said, "Thank you, Xiaoqing." ”

"Thank you, I don't have to." Zhu Yuqing's smart eyes turned, and he said with a little cunning: "You, you already have me and Sister He, you should be content." Thank you so much. Stay away from the Holy Maiden. This is not what Wu Gong forced you, but what I requested. ”

Wu Ming almost fell, and he suddenly felt that among the women who had contact with him. The brutal Youluli is the best one to deal with.
