Chapter 1: The Southern Chu Elites

**********

It's a new volume!

******************

After breakfast the next day, Wu Ling'er went back to Wufu, but there was a small accident on the way. As soon as the chess game ended, Wu Ling'er made her popularity in Chang'an to the point that the entire Tang Dynasty was incredibly high, which also led to the fact that it usually only took half an hour to go home, and it was blocked on the road for two hours.

It wasn't until later that Wu Ling'er had to stand helplessly on the carriage and say to everyone: "Everyone, I'm hungry!" You don't want to starve your idol to death on the road to Chang'an City, do you? Disperse, I'm the same as everyone else, with a nose and a mouth, two eyes and two legs. There's nothing to see! Listening to Wu Ling'er's words, everyone couldn't help laughing, now everyone is more and more fond of this commoner princess. However, since she said that she was hungry, everyone was embarrassed to continue watching, so they slowly dispersed.

In this way, it took Wu Ling'er half an hour to return to Wu's house. As soon as she entered the house, Wu Ling'er threw herself into Wu's arms: "Auntie, Ling'er is so pitiful, she has been sitting in the carriage for almost three hours, Ling'er is so tired, Ling'er is so hungry!" ”

Facing this sixteen-year-old daughter, who was still like a child, Wu smiled helplessly and hugged her: "You deserve it, who called you stupid?" After yesterday's events, it's time to change the carriage and come out again. It's no wonder that you run out like this and don't get surrounded. ”

"People don't follow, how can you scold people, aunt! People are already very pitiful! ”

Wu Shi helplessly helped Wu Ling'er, who was stuck to his body like kraft candy, to sit down: "Okay, let's go eat together, I have already ordered someone to prepare your favorite dish, it will still be hot." ”

"Hehe, I know that the eldest lady loves Ling'er the most!" After lying to the Wu family, Wu Ling'er saluted the two aunts, and then the family happily had a belated lunch together.

Soon after the late lunch, Wu Jingtai came back, he glanced at Wu Ling'er, and found that Wu Ling'er nodded to him gently, and he understood that Wu Ling'er was in trouble when he came back this time.

After sitting for a while, Wu Jingtai called Wu Ling'er to his study: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"There's something to trouble Daddy. Two days later, I need to disappear for three days! Can Daddy help me figure it out? ”

Wu Jingtai thought for a while and nodded: "Your godfather and godmother haven't seen you for a long time, you can visit me in the afternoon!" ”

Wu Ling'er suddenly understood Wu Jingtai's thoughts: "Thank you, Daddy!" ”

Wu Jingtai shook his head and looked at Wu Ling'er: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

"It should be fine, and I've got it set up. Daddy has been busy lately? I didn't even go home for lunch. ”

"It's been a little strange lately, Nan Chu is too quiet. It seemed like I was completely quiet when I got back, but I always felt that something was wrong. Wu Jingtai shook his head: "I hope I think too much." ”

Wu Ling'er didn't think so: "Daddy is not a big mistake to be careful. Both you and your godfather survived the battlefield, and to some extent, you will have a considerable sense of danger, and if you don't feel right, maybe something will happen! Thinking of this, Wu Ling'er walked to the door and said a few words to Xiaoxiao, and after Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, she left immediately.

Although he didn't ask, Wu Jingtai also understood that Wu Ling'er must have asked the monsters in his hand to help him go to investigate.

After chatting a few more words, Wu Jingtai took Wu Ling'er to the General's Mansion by car. Although Liu Hong is no longer a general, the name of the general's mansion has been retained, which can be regarded as a gift from Li Qian to Liu Hong.

After arriving at Liu's house, Mrs. Liu immediately took Wu Ling'er to the back hall: "You kid...... Why are you so stupid? Why don't you tell your godmother about something? If it hadn't been for the dead ghost in my family who told me, I wouldn't have known you were the teacher's child! You're really ......."

Wu Ling'er smiled and took Mrs. Liu's hand: "Godmother, Ling'er is doing well now!" So some unnecessary things naturally don't dare to annoy my godmother! ”

"Oh hehe...... That's right, what will happen to my goddaughter? I couldn't be happier to hear that you cleaned up those Dongying dwarfs. Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be happy when she said this, she looked at Wu Ling'er: "Is there any difficulty that you want your godfather to help this time?" ”

Wu Ling'er nodded and explained her situation. Mrs. Liu thought for a while: "Simple, two days later, you will accompany me to Fahua Temple to offer incense and pray for the saint." Just stay there for three days. For three days, you practice vipassana, only in the inner hall, and I am responsible for all the food. ”

Wu Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled: "It's still the best way to be a godmother!" ”

"Oh hehe...... Of course! Mrs. Liu laughed happily again, and sighed after a while: "It's all my fault that the child is too stupid, otherwise, you should marry into my family!" How nice that would be! ”

Wu Ling'er hurriedly shook her head: "Second brother is not stupid, he is just more active, and he is not bad at all when he learns seriously!" You and your godfather don't always murder him, I'll be distressed! ”

"Good, good! Ling Er said that if you are not fierce, I will not be fierce! It's just that you always go out to do things like this, you must pay more attention to your body, otherwise your godmother won't agree. ”

The next day, Wu Ling'er returned to the palace to greet Li Qian and the queen, and when they knew that Wu Ling'er was going to Huafa Temple to pray for blessings, the two agreed with a smile. For them, Ling Er can have this heart, which makes them happier than anything else.

After dark on the third day, Lingyu appeared in the blue water dock as promised. Jin Qian told her that everything had been arranged, and Wu Ling'er also reminded Yantu and asked him to pay attention to his situation at any time, before putting on a cloak to cover his face, holding his pipa and sitting on a soft sedan chair and heading towards Qujiang.

Next to a quiet pier by the Qujiang River, there is a luxurious super painting boat. There were two people standing on the painting boat, one of them watched the soft sedan chair approaching from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "I hope she will forgive me for what I did!" ”

"Your Highness, you are doing this for her own good. When she understands what you have done, she will only be moved, not angry. The other replied respectfully.

"I'll go in first, and I'll leave it all to you!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

After a while, the soft sedan chair stopped, and Xiao helped Lingyu get off the sedan chair, looking at the painting boat in front of him, Lingyu sighed softly: "Sure enough, it's the powerful of Southern Chu!" "This boat is not inferior to the boat used by Li Chengtai to entertain everyone that day.

"Hehe, let Miss Lingyu smile, Miss Lingyu, please!"

At the end of the wooden ladder, there was a man in a white robe, under the bright light, you could see his jade-like face, but I don't know why, his smile made Lingyu a little uncomfortable.

But now that she had arrived here, Lingyu naturally had no intention of going back, so she smiled and climbed the wooden ladder.

After getting on the painting boat, Lingyu looked at the man: "I don't know what this adult is called?" ”

"Miss Lingyu can call me Lord Xiao. That's what many people call me. ”

Lingyu hugged the pipa and saluted: "Lingyu has seen Lord Xiao!" ”

"Hehe, Lingyu girl doesn't need to be polite, please come with me, my master is waiting in the inner hall." It turned out that this Lord Xiao was not the owner of this painting boat. Lingyu was suspicious in her heart, but she still turned her head and said to Xiaoxiao: "It's okay here, you guys go back first!" ”

Seeing that Lingyu was going back by herself, Xiao Xiao was a little worried: "But ......"

"Don't worry, Miss Lingyu is here, and we will entertain you. This girl, please come back! ”

After sending Xiaoxiao away, Lingyu was a little relieved, and when she came to the inner hall, she found that there was a screen in front of the main seat: "This is ......"

"My master is inconvenient to meet people for some reason, and he has always used this way to meet guests, and I ask Miss Lingyu to forgive me." Lord Xiao had a sad look on his face, it seemed that his master had suffered something, so he became what he is now, after seeing his appearance, Lingyu hurriedly comforted: "I'm sorry, it's me who is too talkative!" "Everyone has their own privacy, so why bother asking.

A hoarse cough came from behind the screen: "Steward Xiao, but Miss Lingyu is here?" Why don't you invite her to come and sit down? ”

"Yes!"
