Chapter 65: The Master

I committed the following crimes, and I did not sell the face of the witch lord and concealed the affairs of the third wife.

The hall became quiet in an instant, and Zhiman opened her mouth wide, as if she couldn't believe that I dared not reply to Wu Gong's question.

Qiu An's eyes also became confused when she looked at me, she knew that Xuanyue Pei was a gift from the third woman, but she didn't know why she hid it from Wu Gong and didn't hide it from him.

Wu Gong's emotions were excited, the beard around his mouth trembled slightly, and his eyes began to turn red, like a red cloud hanging obliquely in the sky at night, although it was only spread a little in the west, it could dye the whole world red.

It is not so much that Wu Gong is holding back his anger, but that it is an extremely strong thought before dawn, full of savings for a long time, waiting to tear through the darkness and force out the light.

"The old man knows that the princess has something unspeakable, and he won't force it, but he just asks Princess Ji to tell me if that noble person is still alive?"

Wu Gong's face smiled extremely unnaturally, sweat appeared on his forehead, reflecting the fluorescence of the pearl in the hall, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to know the answer, and he was afraid of scaring me, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile.

"That master, she's alive and well. ”

Wu Gong asked this, and I relieved my heart and replied to him with my head bowed.

I saw that Wu Gong had been staring at Xuan Yuepei, and I didn't know what the meaning was, so I wanted to take it off and hand it to him, but I was worried that he would not return it again.

Zhiman saw what his master meant, and seemed to know that I was worried, so she said obediently on the side: "Princess Suji, can you lend me this jade pendant?"

I nodded, took off the Xuanyue pendant and handed it to her.

Zhiman put the white jade pendant in the palm of her hand and played with it, stared at it decently for a long time, handed it to Wu Gong with a puzzled expression, and said, "Master, come and help me take a look, I don't understand it." ”

I secretly said in my heart: "What a well-behaved disciple." ”

Looking at Qiu An on the side again, she also pursed her lips and showed a smile.

Wu Gong didn't think so, took Xuan Yuepei from Zhiman's hand with both hands, and still said to me: "Thank you princess for your great kindness!"

"It doesn't matter. Before these two words could be spoken, Wu Gong turned around and walked towards Gao Yuan, holding Xuan Yuepei in his hand, and walked over with bated breath, for fear that a slight noise would disturb Xuanyue Pei.

When Wu Gong put Xuan Yuepei on the high case, he bowed deeply.

"Zhiman, come here!"

Wu Gong didn't reply, and shouted Zhiman undoubtedly.

Waiting for Zhiman to come to him, Wu Gong looked at Xuan Yuepei and ordered Zhiman: "Kneel down and perform the Great Witch Ceremony." ”

I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard the word "big witch", and I realized from the posture of the two that what Wu Gong was referring to should be a more formal and solemn bow ceremony among those who study witches.

I saw Zhiman with a strange pattern in her hand, kowtowed to Xuan Yuepei three times, and put away the innocence of the little girl's house on her face, and replaced it with a mysterious and gloomy one.

It's getting more and more like a third woman!

After the master and apprentice had finished saluting, Wu Gong picked up the jade pendant again, respectfully touched it and handed it to me.

Seeing him like this, I also took it with both hands and carefully rehung it on the hem of my skirt, no longer as casual as usual.

Wu Gong smiled at this time, and his smile was like a splash in the clear water, flowing from the wrinkles that had been marked by the years, rippling all over his face.

At this time, the night outside was beautiful, and a bright moon hung on the canopy above the middle of the courtyard, and the stars flickered on the side.

Wu Gong shouted to the moon in the hall: "God has eyes, Venerable Heaven, it turns out that you have never abandoned us people!"

"Master......" Zhiman's face was full of worry and fear, and he timidly shouted behind Wu Gong.

Wu Gong slowly withdrew his eyes from the bright moon, his expression gradually became normal, and he eased a lot, not sad, nor happy, he looked back at Zhiman with pity, did not speak, and looked at me again.

"Good, good!"

I didn't understand what Wu Gong was saying, but it was a little weird.

Wu Gong seemed to see my thoughts, and said to me, "The old man has made some gaffes, and I hope the princess will forgive me." ”

Although he has always been polite, I have never forgotten the rules of the imperial city, and there is a reminder from Qiu An next to him, so I respectfully replied to Wu Gong: "Don't dare!"

"Don't be surprised, princess, this is the great joy of our witches. ”

He said strange things again, and I didn't understand them more and more.

Wu Gong began to make a promise again, and said to me: "The old man must protect the princess thoroughly, both in the imperial city and out of the imperial city." And also....... ”

"Zhiman," Dawu shouted back to his little disciple, and Zhiman obediently walked to the front.

"The decrepit third disciple, Zhiman, will be at the disposal of the princess in the imperial city in the future, and with her, no one can bully the princess. ”

Zhiman was arranged like this by her master, and there was no trace of reluctance on her face, she still looked at me with joy in her eyes as if she was on the road.

I hurriedly knelt down, naturally I couldn't forget the rules in the imperial city.

Wu Gong was shocked, and hurriedly helped me up, trembling a little in every move, and seemed to be extremely excited.

"The old man really can't afford the princess's knees, even if you don't have this jade pendant, you are still an extremely noble person!"

I thought he was referring to my identity as the princess of the Jiao clan, and I sat in the sedan chair of the human emperor, so he paid special attention to me, although I felt strange, I didn't want to think about it.

"Zhiman and I might as well be called sisters in this palace in the future. "I said to Wu Gong and Zhiman, I want to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Wu Gong was surprised, and seemed to be very unconvinced, seeing that my expression was solemn, not like a joke, and hurriedly said to Zhiman: "Don't kneel down and thank the princess for her great grace!"

Zhiman's face was also full of joy, and after obeying Wu Gong's words, he wanted to bow down.

I motioned for Qiu An to stop together, helped Zhiman up, and said to Wu Gong: "Wu Gong is very gracious, the courtiers will keep it in mind, but I still hope that you will not take care of me in front of people in the future." ”

In the same way, I also said to Su Niang, thinking of this, I felt uncomfortable for a while, Su Niang's death has not been found out yet.

"Good!"

Wu Gong agreed very cheerfully.

I bowed to the witch lord and said to him, "Then the courtier will take her leave." ”

"Good!" Wu Gong hurriedly replied to me.

I turned around and walked out of the temple with Qiu'an.

At this time, the night is getting better and better, except for the bright moon hanging high, exhaling the aura between heaven and earth, the whole person is happier than just now.

"Princess!" Wu Gong called out to me from behind.

I stopped, slowly turned my head, and looked at Wu Gong as he wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing what he meant.

"Princess, you really don't want to be on that throne?"

I was surprised for a while, and then I thought that I had made it clear to the Emperor of the People, and I thought that the Emperor of the People and this important minister also mentioned it as a joke, after all, in this human world, it is very rare for a woman who does not know a little bit of thought in the face of the phoenix seal in the back.

Qiu An and Zhiman also stared at me, watching my reaction.

I looked at Wu Gong and said faintly: "In my life, I just want to live more freely." ”

"That is the fact that the Emperor of the People does not have this blessing. ”

This is a bit of a rebellion, and only Lord Wu Gong can say it.

I didn't want to delay any longer, I turned around and left, and the moment I turned around, I heard Wu Gong sigh, I don't know if he sighed because I didn't want to stay in the Imperial City, or if my sentence "live more comfortably" was an extravagant hope.

"Su Ji, in the future, in this world, you can do whatever you want to do boldly, the old man will do everything he can to help you, and if you want anything within the Three Realms, the old man will definitely get it for you, including heaven and earth, all noble things!"
