Chapter 710 Princess Anxi Meets a Young Man
On the other side, that day, Princess Anxi came to an inn and found a job as a worker.
Today, she was busy, but suddenly heard the shopkeeper's harsh reprimand.
The shopkeeper was furious and shouted: "How do you do things? You are so clumsy!"
Princess Anxi lowered her head, her face full of grievance and helplessness.
After all, she was a high-ranking princess before, and she had never done these rough jobs, so her movements naturally seemed a little unfamiliar and clumsy.
She bit her lips tightly, and a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, but she still resisted, silently telling herself to try to adapt and live strong.
Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, trembling slightly, trying to do better.
Princess Anxi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She raised her head, looked at the shopkeeper, and said softly: "Shopkeeper, I know I didn't do well. I will work hard to learn and will never do this again."
The shopkeeper's face eased a little after hearing this, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "Humph, I hope so. You have to work hard and don't make trouble for me anymore." After that, he turned around and went to do other things.
Princess Anxi secretly encouraged herself in her heart, and then did the work at hand more attentively.
She wiped the table carefully and placed the tableware. Although her movements were still a little unskilled, they were much better than before.
However, not long after, Princess Anxi accidentally broke another bowl.
The guys around her all cast strange eyes, and Princess Anxi's face suddenly turned red to her ears. She squatted down to pick up the fragments in a hurry, full of self-blame and frustration.
"Why am I so stupid? I always can't do it well." She secretly scolded herself in her heart.
But she knew that complaining was useless. She had to persevere and slowly adapt to it all.
Today, the shopkeeper came to Princess Anxi with a serious face and said coldly: "Go, you are really not suitable to work here."
When Princess Anxi heard this, her heart sank suddenly, and her eyes were full of astonishment and helplessness.
She lowered her head and looked at the little money she had saved, her heart was full of bitterness.
She didn't know where she should go next, and the future was confusing.
She remembered that she was looking forward to meeting Xi Yu, thinking that she could use Xi Yu's power to help her revenge.
But now, after these days of experience, she no longer has such an idea. She only hopes to have a peaceful life now.
Princess Anxi silently packed up her things and slowly walked out of the inn. The thin figure looked particularly lonely in the sun. She was so confused and hesitant that she slowly disappeared at the end of the street.
At this time, a young man with a folding fan happened to pass by. He saw Princess Anxi at a glance and felt very strange in his heart.
He frowned slightly and thought to himself: "Aren't you the woman in the inn? Why are you here so lost?"
Princess Anxi also recognized him. He was a guest who had been to the inn.
The young man walked up and asked softly: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Princess Anxi bit her lip and reluctantly told her about how she was kicked out by the shopkeeper because of her clumsiness.
After that, she lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked particularly lovable.
After hearing this, a trace of pity flashed in the young man's eyes, and he looked at her thoughtfully.
The young man smiled slightly and said: "Miss, my surname is Huang, you can call me Mr. Huang. I see that you have nowhere to go now, why don't you go to work in my house and be a maid."
Princess Anxi was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
But soon, she shook her head again and said timidly: "I... I may not be able to do it well."
Mr. Huang stepped forward and encouraged: "Don't worry, girl, I believe you can do it well."
Princess Anxi felt a warm feeling in her heart and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Huang."
So, Princess Anxi followed Mr. Huang away, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared at the corner of the street.
On the other side, Cao Rui brought Cao Shuangshuang to a residential area.
The environment here is really not good, and it is old and messy everywhere.
Cao Rui stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated house. He looked at Cao Shuangshuang who was following behind him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Cao Shuangshuang sat down slowly on the side, and Cao Rui couldn't help but said: "Shouldn't you elope with that monk? Why are you still here now?"
Cao Shuangshuang raised her head and looked at Cao Rui with a complicated look in her eyes. She opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just sighed softly and did not respond to Cao Rui's words.
Cao Rui frowned, his heart full of confusion, and the air around him seemed to become a little heavy.
Cao Rui looked at Cao Shuangshuang with a serious face, and said with a hint of urgency: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Cao Shuangshuang bit her lip, tears rolled in her eyes, she choked and said: "Originally, I agreed with the young abbot that he would take the fake death medicine, and we could elope after he was buried. I waited happily, but when I went to the cemetery, I found that it was not the case at all. I felt that I was deceived by him..."
At this point, Cao Shuangshuang could no longer hold back, tears burst out of her eyes, and she sobbed.
Cao Rui looked at Cao Shuangshuang's heartbroken look, and felt a pity in his heart. He sighed softly, not knowing how to comfort her.
The residential area seemed extremely quiet at this time, with only Cao Shuangshuang's cries echoing in the air, as if telling the pain and unwillingness in her heart.
Cao Rui stood aside silently, quietly accompanying Cao Shuangshuang, allowing her to vent her emotions to her heart's content.
After a while, Cao Shuangshuang's crying gradually stopped. She raised her head, her eyes were red, and there were still tears on her face, which made people feel distressed.
Cao Rui looked at Cao Shuangshuang, frowned and said, "I don't like you being with a monk in the first place, so why are you bothering?"
Cao Shuangshuang raised his head, looked at Cao Rui with tears on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stop talking."
Cao Rui sighed, and then said: "You should go back first, this is not the place you should stay. I will go to the temple to investigate and see what is going on."
Cao Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, then slowly stood up and walked back step by step. Her back looked so lonely and lonely.
Cao Rui looked at Cao Shuangshuang's leaving figure and secretly made up his mind to find out about this matter.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the temple, and his figure gradually disappeared into the lanes of the residential area.
Cao Rui hurried to the temple. When he saw Xi Yu standing quietly at the door of the temple with her hands behind her back, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
He frowned slightly, walked forward, with a trace of confusion on his face, and asked, "Xi Yu, why are you here?"
Xi Yu turned his head when he heard the sound, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a faint smile. He said calmly: "Of course I accompanied my wife to come here to worship. It's you, Cao Rui, who makes me feel strange that you come here. ”
When he said this, Xi Yu stared at Cao Rui closely, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Cao Rui felt inexplicably panicked when Xi Yu looked at him like this. He subconsciously avoided Xi Yu's eyes and muttered: "I... I naturally have my own things to do."
His expression was slightly embarrassed, and he was still thinking about the reason why Xi Yu appeared here.
Cao Rui walked into the temple with a hurried look. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Jiu Dazhi standing there.
He hurried over, his face full of eagerness, and his heart full of doubts and anxiety.
Cao Rui came to Jiu Dazhi and said breathlessly: "Master, I would like to ask if your abbot here is still alive?"
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Jiu Dazhi, his eyes full of eagerness for answers.
Jiu Dazhi was slightly startled, looked Cao Rui up and down, with a hint of vigilance on his face, and slowly said: "Donor, who are you? Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
Jiu Dazhi thought to himself, why did this man suddenly come to ask about the abbot? Could he have some agenda?
Hearing this, Cao Rui quickly said: "I... I just want to find out some things. Master, please also inform me about the abbot's situation."
His face was full of sincerity, and his mind was constantly speculating on various possibilities.
Jiu Dazhi said calmly: "Now our temple has a new abbot. As for the previous abbot, he has been put under guard because he made mistakes."
When Cao Rui heard this, he was shocked and almost blurted out: "Did you get caught after taking the medicine to fake death?"
As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and there was a trace of panic on his face.
When Jiu Dazhi heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly asked with astonishment on his face: "Donor, how did you know about this?"
Cao Rui panicked for a moment and subconsciously covered his mouth, his eyes filled with regret.
After a while, he slowly took his hand away and said calmly: "It's nothing, I... I'm leaving."
After saying that, without waiting for Jiu Dazhi to respond, he turned around and left in a hurry, his steps staggering a little, and he was constantly annoyed at his impulsiveness and gaffe.
Jiu Dazhi looked at Cao Rui's hurried away figure. Although he still had many questions in his heart, he still said to himself secretly: "That's it. You can't be too curious. It's better not to explore too much about some things."
He shook his head, turned around and went about his own business.
Cao Rui walked in a panic. Because he was so flustered, he didn't pay attention and almost knocked down Xi Yu who was walking towards him.
He was startled suddenly, his face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Cao Rui quickly said to Xi Yu: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
His voice was trembling, and his face was full of embarrassment and panic, like a thief. After speaking, he hurriedly wanted to escape from here.
Xi Yu was also a little confused by this sudden situation. He frowned and looked at Cao Rui's embarrassed escape. His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't ask too much. He just shook his head helplessly.
On the other side, Zhou Yu looked stern and followed the soldiers firmly to the border crossing.
The other soldiers seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden at this moment, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, Mrs. Huayue looked at Zhou Yu with cold eyes and asked in a stiff tone: "Who are you?"
Zhou Yu looked calm and announced his name without being humble or arrogant: "I am Zhou Yu."
Then, he looked at Mrs. Huayue sincerely and said, "Please move forward and talk to me further."
Mrs. Huayue frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded, and then the two of them walked to a nearby grove together.
Mrs. Huayue stopped, turned around, looked at Zhou Yu with raised eyebrows, and asked with a hint of impatience: "Can you stop?"
Zhou Yu nodded, staring closely at Mrs. Huayue, with probing eyes, and asked: "I want to know, who are you?"
Mrs. Huayue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat teasing smile. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Didn't those soldiers tell you? Well, I am the bandit leader."
When she said this, she had an unruly and arrogant expression, not shying away from her identity.
Zhou Yu frowned slightly and continued to look at Mrs. Huayue, as if he wanted to see more secrets from her.
Mrs. Huayue raised her eyebrows and said impatiently: "My time is limited, can you be the master of Xiyu?"
Zhou Yu looked calm, shook his head slowly, and said truthfully: "I can't."
When Mrs. Huayue heard this, her eyes widened with anger, and a surge of anger surged into her heart. She shouted loudly: "If that's the case, then why did you come here to talk to me?"
Her expression was very angry, with her hands on her hips, as if she was about to explode at any moment.
Facing Mrs. Huayue's anger, Zhou Yu remained calm despite the turbulence in his heart. He looked at Mrs. Huayue and explained calmly: "Although I can't make the decision, there are some things that I can still discuss with my wife. ”
At this moment, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, revealing a naughty smile.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huayue couldn't help but frowned, and asked with confusion on her face: "What do you mean?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he said slowly: "I hope you kill Zhao Yun."
As he spoke, he slowly took out a wad of currency from his sleeve.
Mrs. Huayue looked at Zhou Yu's actions and the currency in his hand, her face full of confusion, her brows furrowed even more tightly, and she was thinking secretly: What kind of medicine is Zhou Yu selling in his gourd this time? Why did he suddenly make such a strange request and take out this money?
Her eyes were full of doubt and confusion.
Zhou Yu deliberately showed a vicious look on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "I can be regarded as a general, but Zhao Yun is far more favored than me. I have been jealous of him for a long time, and now I heard that you are treating Zhao Yun I am very happy to have caught it, so I hope to use your hand, madam, to make Zhao Yun die completely."
After hearing this, Mrs. Huayue was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and she shouted angrily: "This is simply unreasonable! I just want money, how could I do things for you Zhou Yu!"
Zhou Yu, however, remained calm and continued: "It's very simple. I just want to express my sincerity. Madam, how much money do you want, I can give it to you."
There was a hint of eagerness and desire in his eyes, as if he was determined to achieve his goal.
Mrs. Huayue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She thought to herself that if Zhou Yu really wanted to save Zhao Yun, he should be able to raise the money with his status, but he chose to do this. It seemed that he really hated Zhao Yun very deeply.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu asked eagerly: "Madam, how much do you want?"
Mrs. Huayue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and stretched out a finger.
Zhou Yu said without hesitation: "No problem, I will go back to find someone to raise money now. Madam, when do you plan to kill Zhao Yun?"
His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to see Zhao Yun's ending.
Mrs. Huayue's face suddenly became a little uncertain, and she hesitated in her heart: Do she really want to do this? What if things change?
Seeing this, Zhou Yu said with disdain: "What? Madam, don't you even have this courage?"
Just before Mrs. Huayue had time to answer, Zhou Yu suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes, immediately rushed towards her, started fighting with her, and pinched her neck with one hand.
Mrs. Huayue was shocked, and her heart was filled with shock and anger: How dare this guy suddenly attack me!
But she quickly realized that she was also good at martial arts and could not sit still and wait for death.
A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and started fighting with Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu secretly resented: Mrs. Huayue is really difficult to deal with! But he didn't back down and tried his best to subdue her.
While Mrs. Huayue was responding to Zhou Yu's attack, she cursed in her heart: You Zhou Yu, how dare you attack me, I won't let you succeed!
But Zhou Yu was not afraid of Mrs. Huayue at all. There was firmness and determination in his eyes, as if he was determined to compete with Mrs. Huayue.
At the same time, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Soldiers, come here quickly!"
The soldiers at the border crossing heard Zhou Yu's call and immediately rushed towards this direction without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huayue showed an angry look on her face and cursed loudly: "Zhou Yu, you are despicable and shameless!"
Then, she sneered: "Humph, even if they come, they will only die. Because I have already defeated them."
Her eyes were full of confidence and arrogance.
Although Zhou Yu felt a little worried at this time, he still gritted his teeth and refused to take a step back.
The soldiers ran towards this side like arrows from a bow, and one of them suddenly saw a brick on the ground while running.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he leaned over without hesitation to pick up the brick, and then used all his strength to hit Madam Huayue fiercely. (End of this chapter)
