Section XIV

The next day, Wu Ming sent Zhu Yuqing to the temple early, which had been agreed between the two parties a long time ago, and there was no reason for the dead wood to be allowed. Seeing that a group of monks sent their wives into the main hall where the dead wood was, the bitter water monk came over and said: "Wu Du, I wish the donor is the yin veins are stagnant and withered, and the master needs to mobilize the true qi of the whole body to awaken the vitality of the meridians in her body, although this is not a difficult task, but it is very time-consuming. ”

Wu Ming said: "Oh, how long will it take?" ”

"It takes about six hours."

Wu Ming couldn't help but look at the sky, because he got up early, it was about past the hour. Six hours, then it's night. Kushui continued: "If Wu Du believes in the master's words, you can go back to the post house for a while first, and then come to pick up the donor in the evening." ”

Deadwood is a number of masters in the world, and there are many masters in the temple, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the tiger's den in Longtan. Wu Ming shook his head and said, "Master Deadwood's divine skills, the kid is deeply admired, how can he not believe it." But the kid is worried, and he has a playful heart. Master Kushui is kind, and I will wait here. ”

For him, the world is big, and it is far less important than Zhu Yuqing's recovery. Besides, the number of people he knew in Persia was very limited, and there was really nothing good to go. The two were talking, when Esther, surrounded by a group of monks, emerged from a meditation room. The monks, all dressed in big red robes, had apparently just finished performing a ritual.

Kushui clasped his hands together and saluted, "Princess Esther." ”

Esther ignored him, but stared blankly at Yiqiē here, her blue eyes swept all the way from the green tiles, purlins, and lacquer pillars, sweeping every inch of mountains and every inch of water here, as if they were all engraved in her heart, and finally stared at Kushui: "Kushui, the master will be handed over to you in the future, you have to treat him well." ”

Ku Shui was still expressionless, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "Master will be fine, donor, but please rest assured." ”

Isn't Bitterwater always called Esther the Holy Maiden? How do you call Esther a benefactor? Wu Ming looked at Esther's sad face and reacted violently. Yes, he once mentioned the affair between the two to Deadwood, and Deadwood must have abolished the title of Esther Saintess and agreed to choose another saint, otherwise Bitter Water would not call her that. Tears flowed in Esther's eyes: "Thank you for your bitterness, you went to sue Master Sù, I was sorry for him." ”

Kushui lowered his eyelids, clasped his hands together, and said softly: "All kinds of things in the past, such as yesterday." All kinds of things in the future, such as today's birth. With that, he ignored Esther, closed his eyes, and stood there like a stake, not moving.

Wu Ming pulled Esther: "Don't bother Master Kushui, otherwise you will move the anger ring and hinder your cultivation." ”

In fact, his main purpose was not to make Esther too sad, but the deadwood skill book pays attention to pure heart and inaction, and Wu Ming's words are not untargeted. Esther sniffed, nodded to Wu Ming and said, "Let's go, you have to accompany me to go shopping today." ”

Seeing Esther's tears in her eyes, Wu Ming's heart hurt, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to relax." He turned his head to Kushui and said, "Master Kushui, let's go first." ”

The bitter water was still in meditation, Wu Ming didn't care about him, pulled Esther, and the two of them went down the rugged mountain trail.

Along the way, Esther was still sullen, and Wu Ming couldn't help but squeeze her soft little hand: "What's the matter, are you still unhappy about losing the title of saint?" ”

Esther shook her head and said, "No." ”

Wu Ming smiled: "That's not the end." Now that I'm in the way of you, you're left with that level, you should be happy, it's not good to cry your nose all the time. ”

Esther is cheerful by nature, if she usually hears Wu Ming say this, I am afraid that the rain will be clear soon, but now she is still depressed. Wu Ming looked at her, not knowing how to comfort her. Esther sighed abruptly: "Brother Amin, do you know? The master only has ten years to live. ”

"What?" Wu Ming was taken aback: "Yesterday I renewed the life of the national teacher, didn't it happen?" How so? ”

Esther shook her head and looked at the city of Gehan down the hill. Looking down from here, you can see Gehan below, rows of buildings, verdant street landscape trees, and faintly bustling people, shuttling among them. Triumphant Avenue is like a big sword, stabbing straight into the distance, a good alternative Qingming Riverside map. She muttered softly: "The way of heaven is endless, and manpower is poor......

Such a sentence rich in Zen machine must have been told by Deadwood himself. However, this is not difficult to understand, no matter how bad the wood gong is, it will be difficult to escape death after all, but it only delays the death process. Wu Ming's heart was also a little heavy, and he squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, isn't there still me?" I'll be with you in the future. ”

Esther turned her head, stared at Wu Ming and said, "This is what you said, you have to be kind to me in the future." ”

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Princess, but please rest assured, the kid is the governor of several provinces, and if he says it, keep a spit and a nail." ”

"Flim tongue, who scares about you, hum!"

Although Esther's mouth was not unusual, the smile on her face betrayed her. After receiving Wu Ming's affirmative answer, she was in a better mood, and said excitedly: "Okay, today I invite you to go shopping by elephant." ”

When the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, they found that several servants were waiting at the intersection with an elephant. Seeing the two coming, one of the maids greeted them and saluted, "Princess." ”

This person is Esther's personal maid Xiaobi, Esther nodded and said, "I went with Governor Wu to relax, and I used this elephant first." ”

Xiaobi glanced at Wu Ming, a little unnatural, and made up a salute: "I have seen Governor Wu, Xiaobi has given you a salute." ”

The slander between Wu Ming and Esther has reached the point of discarding the title of saint, and Gehan can now be said to be known to the whole city, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will spread throughout Persia. If the marriage between the two can be completed, Wu Ming will be equal to their master. Although Xiaobi and Wu Ming have known each other for a long time, they still feel a little strange at this time. Wu Ming was also a little unnatural, nodded and said, "No need to be polite." Guarded by several retinues, the two carefully climbed up the elephant along the soft ladder.

On the back of the elephant is a delicately made sun umbrella to protect from the sun and rain, and there is a cushion under it, and a delicate mattress is laid out. A small table is placed in front of it, and a plate of fruit is placed on it. Wu Ming pulled Esther and sat down on it carefully, feeling a faint fragrance. It seems that this is the car that Esther usually uses. Wu Ming couldn't help sighing: "I really didn't expect that I would be able to accompany the princess in my lifetime and take the elephant to visit Gehan." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Esther broke free of his hand, pouted, and said, "What's so surprising, there are many elephants riding in Gehan." Not to mention far, there are dozens of forbidden troops alone. ”

It is not easy to tame an elephant into a mount, and it is even more rare to tame it into a war horse, Wu Ming's heart moved: "There are dozens of forbidden troops, so who controls the forbidden army?" ”

"Naturally, he is the eldest brother, but although these war elephants look good, they are not very useful. I remember the last time my father was on the Emperor's Day, the second emperor brother only relied on a war elephant to challenge the forbidden army three times in a row, and won all three games. These war elephants, like those forbidden troops, are useless guys. ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh secretly. The forbidden army is responsible for defending the imperial city, and generally speaking, the selected warriors are also the elite of the elite, but at the same time, they must also decorate the royal façade and do something to welcome the send-off. Therefore, talents must pass, and there must be a measure of height and weight. And if you want to defend the imperial city, you need to stay away from the battlefield, which will reduce the grinding of the battlefield. Soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, no matter how good they look, their combat power will be greatly reduced. In the past, when he was in Kyoto, Wu Ming, as a member of the Guards Battalion, fought with the forbidden army a lot, and he had already equated these guys with the silver wax gun head. At this time, hearing Esther say this, Dasheng felt the same way, and said with a smile: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king." However, Gehan has always been war-free, and no matter how useless they are, it is still possible to defend the imperial city. ”

Esther smiled: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings." The metaphor of Amingo is an image. She straightened her slender waist and said to the servants below, "Xiaobi, take us to the beach to see." ”

Xiaobi agreed, and several servants led the elephant and walked forward. Esther turned her head, tucked her blond hair, and continued: "But ah, now that the forbidden army is in Gehan, it is not a king. ”

Wu Ming Daqi: "Could it be that Gehan has more powerful troops than the forbidden army?" ”

"Yes!" Esther leaned on Wu Ming's shoulder and said softly: "Two years ago, the second emperor's brother led his troops to the north and won many battles. Later, when the war ended, his 3,000 private soldiers were also retained, and they are now stationed in the Second Prince's Mansion. ”

The wind blew, and a lot of naughty Jin carried forward, drilling straight into Wu Ming's nostrils, which also brought the unique fragrance of the girl. Wu Ming was a little embarrassed, and leaned to the side without a trace: "The forbidden army has tens of thousands of people, can it still beat the three princes and three thousand?" ”

Although the two of them were in love for life, and they were also approved by the deadwood monk, after all, there was still an emperor who did not nod. Besides, the street is full of people, people come and go, and the two of them are sitting on elephants, which is already eye-catching, and if they flirt openly, it will be too public. So Wu Ming couldn't stand her enthusiasm.

How could he hide this little bit of caution from Esther? Seeing Wu Ming like this, Esther was full of unhappiness, pouted, and said, "I don't know if I can beat or not, anyway, the eldest brother and the second emperor brother have a fight, and they have always lost more and won less." ”

After chatting for a while, Esther suddenly leaned out, waved Bai Shengsheng's hand and said coquettishly: "Oh, Xiaobi, stop, stop, here it is." ”

The two were originally sitting side by side, and her side of the body left Wu Ming with a delicate side. Her blonde hair fell like a waterfall and slid over her shoulders like a knife. As soon as she came out of the temple, she naturally wouldn't dress too brightly, wearing a white one-piece gauze skirt, and her slender waist was only tied with a strip of light yellow cloth, which made her chest augmentation bee, and her round buttocks formed an attractive gourd lying on her side. Wu Ming's heart fluttered, and he hurriedly turned his face sideways: "Didn't you say that you would go to the beach, why did you stop here." ”
