"Stop." Chu Wu You shouted. Unfortunately, Lou Yan was still caught by the parrot and was flying further and further away.
"Emperor, don't waste your efforts. With your current strength, you can't catch me.”Lou Yan laughed savagely in midair. His parrot also turned around and gave a long whistle at Chu Wu, as if mocking her for overestimating herself.
Chu Wuyou was furious. She quickly used her martial arts to attack Lou Yan. Lou Yan couldn't dodge in time, so he could only grab the parrot's claws tightly and not let go. He threw a dart at Chu Wuyou. Just as Chu Wuyou was about to dodge, more darts swarmed over. These darts shone with a green light under the sun. It was obvious that they were coated with poison. Chu Wuyou flew up and kicked one dart away, but more darts flew towards her face. Chu Wuyou couldn't dodge in time.
"Haha." Lou Yan's laughter sounded in the air." This is my exclusive dart formation. Your Majesty, please enjoy it. I'll take my leave first."”
The parrot let out a neigh and flew even higher. Chu Wu You dodged the darts as she watched Lou Yan leave. Her eyes were filled with anger. Lou Yan, if I can't catch you, I swear I won't be the emperor.
The High Priest waited in the Prime Minister's residence for a long time before he saw Chu Wu You return with a dejected expression. Her clothes had been ripped open and were exposed.
"What's wrong?" The High Priest asked worriedly.
Chu Wu You flung his sleeves and said,"It's fine, Lou Yan's dart formation cut it."”
"Lou Yan is indeed not to be underestimated.”The High Priest sighed." I think he must be an old man in Hidden Moon. His schemes are deep and his methods are ruthless. It's not something an ordinary person can do."”
Chu Wu You nodded." I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about you. Have you realized that they know where we're going and that they can plan everything ahead of time?"”
Hearing Chu Wu You say this, the High Priest's heart trembled. Could it be that their every move was being monitored by others? This was not good.
"Have you found the roster?" Chu Wu You asked.
The High Priest then remembered that he had captured the Left Prime Minister but did not get the roster. He had a bad feeling."Could it be that the roster has fallen into Lou Yan's hands?”
"Emperor need not be anxious, the name list is with this old minister.”Chu Wu You and the High Priest turned around and saw Xu Shou standing at the end of the corridor, smiling at them.
"Lord Xu, what do you mean?" Chu Wuyou was the first to understand.
"The emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are many things to do. Every name on this roster holds an important official position in the south. Once they are removed from their posts, who will replace them?”Xu Shou said lightly," Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a story? It's said that a general went out on a campaign. The enemy wrote many letters to persuade his subordinates to surrender. After these letters were discovered by the general, not only did he not blame his subordinates, but he even burned the letters in front of everyone. Do you know what he meant?”
"Don't doubt the people you use. I can't touch any of these people.”Chu Wu You walked forward and took the roster from Xu Shou's hands. She threw it into the brazier at her feet. The fire devoured the fragile paper and everything turned into nothingness.
Xu Shou smiled," After waiting for so many years, the true king has finally arrived in Xia City. The sunset is much more beautiful."”
Chu Wu You also raised her head to look at the sunset. Indeed, Xia City, which had experienced difficulties and torture, was even more beautiful.
……
"Are we really going to burn down the courtyard built by the late emperor?”The high priest held the torch and asked in disbelief.
"This place is no longer the place where father lived in the past. Now, this place is filled with evil and filth. Only by burning it can father's good name not be sullied.”
The high priest nodded, and the flame lit up. It was as if a ceremony was being carried out, solemn and solemn. Chu Wu You walked along the street corner until she reached the moat. There were weeping willows and lotuses all over the pond. The women who came and went to pick the lotuses had the fragrance of flowers on their bodies. They were smiling and chatting. There were also boatmen who were recruiting guests. Eating crabs on the small boat was also a different flavor.
"How is the scenery here?" The man wore a long jade robe with twining branches. His face was painted like a painting.
"Mingyi, why do I always bump into you?”Chu Wu You met the man's eyes, which were filled with deep doubts.
"I don't know." Ming Yi jumped onto the boat and stretched out his hand towards Chu Wuyou.""Hurry up and come up. The river crabs here are the best in the world.”
Chu Wu You hesitated for a moment before she placed her hand on Ming Yi's palm. The man's palm was dry and warm, like a beating heart.
The boatman brought over fresh lobsters and crabs, as well as dipping sauce. Ming Yi peeled off the lobster's skin and dipped it in the dark sauce before handing it to Chu Wuyou's small porcelain plate."Try it."
Chu Wuyou looked at Ming Yi. The man's eyes were clear without a trace of impurity. Only then did Chu Wuyou relax and slowly put the lobster into her mouth with her chopsticks.
The meat was tight, smooth, elastic, and very chewy.
Ming Yi saw the change in her expression and smiled faintly.""Not bad, right?"
Chu Wu You nodded,"Not bad." As she spoke, she lifted her wrist and was about to peel one herself. Ming Yi looked at her smooth wrist and said,""Qinghuan didn't come?"
"Qing Huan is with the High Priest." Now that Chi 'er's power was growing stronger in Chu Wu You's body, even if Qing Huan was not by her side, Chu Wu You did not have to worry about being chased, unless it was Hidden Moon's people.
"What a lazy fellow." Ming Yi cursed softly and then began to process the crabs.
When they returned to the Xu Residence, Xu Shou went to the government office. Xu Jinghua was practicing calligraphy under the shade of a tree. The woman was wearing a pink dress with colorful butterflies embroidered on the hem of the dress, covering her jade feet. Her hair was only tied up with a hairpin to prevent it from covering her eyes.
Seeing that Chu Wu You had returned, he put down his pen and paper and bowed slightly,""Emperor, you've finally returned. The High Priest has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Chu Wu You nodded and said,"I'll go now."”
" Ssss!" Qing Huan whispered as she leaned against the window and watched the spiders weave their webs. However, due to the High Priest, she did not dare to act rashly and could only curse in a low voice.
Chu Wuyou walked into the room and saw the High Priest writing something. When she saw Chu Wuyou return, she said,""Emperor, quickly call Nan Li over and send this letter to the Prince Regent. Tell him that we will be safe together.”
Chu Wuyou nodded and whistled. In a moment, Nan Li was firmly in Chu Wuyou's hand. The High Priest tied the letter to Nan Li's calf and patted his head before letting him go. At this moment, Qing Huan also saw Nan Li and was about to look up to see clearly. Unfortunately, Nan Li had already flown far away, so she could only sigh silently in her heart.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:39AM
