Chapter 381: Talking at night while holding candles 3
The late night snacks are not much, but they are very exquisite. Of course it is not enough for Chen Mo, but most of them are prepared for Wu Ling'er. Chen Mo doesn't care, he can survive being hungry for three or four days.
"Would you like to go back to the recliner and lie down?" Chen Mo asked after seeing that Wu Ling'er was also full.
"It's still not good to sit for a long time." Wu Ling'er said, although she felt much better, it was still uncomfortable to sit like this.
"No need to help me." Wu Ling'er looked at Chen Mo walking towards him and refused: "I'm not weak enough to ask you to help me."
With that said, she turned around and walked towards the lounge chair. The hem of her clothes was so long that it would drag the ground as she walked. The pair of gold embroidered shoes appeared and disappeared under the hem of her clothes like two naughty elves.
Wu Ling'er lay casually on her chair. Chen Mo casually took some from the side and put it on her body. He walked to the bedside. The room was too warm and he wanted to blow some cold air.
Although the distance between the two has widened, they are more casual.
"I have been leading there for three years. I think I killed a lot of people. Many people who were called enemies also killed our own people. Whether they were enemies or our own people, it was just to survive."
"You know, for me, living there is not a good thing." Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the stool beside the bed, meditating and talking to Wu Ling'er. "Being alive will prove that you are brave. Next time Will you go to a more dangerous place?"
"You would say that such a person can be promoted and become a general. It is true, but his leading general does not think so. The braver his subordinates are, the faster his official reputation will be. Such subordinates must be like a tiger. Keep it in your own account, use it for yourself, and use it as a tool to gain merit."
"There was a person like this in my team. He was very expressive because he wanted to be seen by the people above him so that he could be promoted and leave this hellish place."
"In the end, he waited and waited until he died."
"That time I understood that I would also suffer the same fate as him, no matter what, because the only way for us strong men captured with low status to die on the battlefield is to die in battle."
"So I learned to pretend to be dead under the corpse, and then pretended to be rescued. I changed teams several times, and no one knew that I could fight. I killed everyone who knew. This is why I killed my companions, but they were In my eyes, they are not my companions, but people who will expose me."
"Strength can be hidden, but the fact that you have lived for too long cannot be hidden. Someone will always find out the clues. So for a period of time later, I planned how to run away without being chased. I didn't want to live a life of being chased. "
"Then I found an opportunity."
Wu Ling'er listened silently. Of course she couldn't see these lowest-level things. She could only know them through other people's descriptions, but there were few people around her who were like this.
Wukou is a talented general, but he was given a very high starting point by himself to be able to do so quickly. He was asked to struggle at the bottom, which was time consuming and his talent could not be fully demonstrated. The most important thing is that at the bottom, It's very dangerous, and it's hard to say whether you can come back alive.
After a moment of silence, Wu Ling'er said: "In this way, you and the martial arts team up together..."
"Don't." Chen Mo interrupted her intention before she could finish her words.
"I'll just tell you." Wu Ling'er said slightly disappointed, and then continued: "Then what?"
"Then I got an opportunity to follow a group of people into the mountains..."
Chen Mo talked about the days when he met Yan Yu and then traveled to Chu State. These days were not as colorful as before. They were mostly comfortable and hard days, followed by boring cultivation, finding fights, and dangdang.
Bandits and so on, until they are thrown to the border again.
"After two or three years of wandering around, I returned to my old job." Wu Ling'er found those smiles with a cold air.
"Once again, life becomes familiar again. I didn't stay there long before I escaped and wandered around the Shang Kingdom."
"You moved to the Shang Kingdom again. Your life was really exciting, and you were only sixteen or seventeen at the time." Wu Ling'er clicked his tongue in surprise.
"In order to return to the Chu Kingdom in an honest and fair manner, I was lucky. I met a princess who was kidnapped by the Shang Kingdom. This was my bargaining chip to return to the Chu Kingdom. But this bargaining chip was really useless and almost killed me.
Burned to death in Chu State." Chen Mo said lightly.
"Wait a minute, Princess of Shang and Chu, what happened a year or two ago, shouldn't it be the Princess Anhe who you met who came back from the dead?" Wu Ling'er, who was originally lying down, sat up and looked.
With Chen Mo.
"Do you know about Princess An He?" Chen Mo also looked at him. Originally, not many people knew about this matter. Only the adults in the Chu State might know about it, and the Shang State, but this princess of the Tang State might know about it.
No matter how I know it.
"There are rumors going around in the Chu Kingdom that Princess Anhe is still alive, but I just knew earlier and in more detail, including the fact that he was kidnapped by the Shang people. What many people know is that the fourth person named Lu Chunqiu
Jing met Qianli to save his nephew, but ignored one person. Princess An and met that person first before giving Lu Chunqiu the chance to save him. Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be you."
"It seems that they have buried your contribution." Wu Ling'er added.
"No, this is what I asked for. I saved Princess An and just for a safe walking identity. If I tell my story, it is one thing whether anyone will believe it. Even if they believe it, I may have other troubles.
, this is not my purpose."
"The King of Border Guards at that time didn't want to keep you?" Wu Ling'er asked, but he knew the answer in an instant. He must have thought about it, but Chen Mo refused. "Forget it, I guessed the answer."
"Let's talk about the time when you and that princess shared hardships. I heard that there was an envoy in brocade over there who was very angry, saying that he was tricked by an ant."
"What you know is quite detailed." Chen Mo rolled his eyes at her.
"The teacher said that the more accurate, well-informed and quick the information is, the more clearly one can grasp the current situation."
"An He's bargaining chip is really hot. I met several waves of Jin Yi, each wave stronger than the last. The Jin Yi you mentioned may be the one who almost killed me. I'm lucky. He found him.
We were injured by Senior Lu before, so I had a chance to escape death."
Chen Mo skipped the events before meeting Jiang Nu and talked about his journey of running for his life as if he was short of breath.
"It's simply more exciting than the content in the storybook." After listening to Chen Mo's words, he realized how thrilling it was. "I guess you won't mind the lack of wine and applause."
Wu Ling'er looked at Chen Mo with one hand on her chin, her eyes were very moving.
"Am I the old blind storyteller in that alley?"
"No, your tone lacks the sense of rhythm. People like this can't make a living by telling stories." Wu Ling'er said jokingly.
"I returned to Chu State and was in a coma for a long time. After bidding farewell to the Border Guard King, I found Yan Yu and left Chu State." Chen Mo said very simply.
"That's it?"
"That's it, there's nothing to say about returning to Chu State." Chen Mo said lightly.
"That Princess Anhe didn't use a beauty trap to keep you. A hero saves a beauty. What woman wouldn't be moved? I heard that Anhe has been very smart since she was a child. She should also be beautiful later on, right?"
"Want to compete with her? Then go to Chu State to find her." Chen Mo directly cut off the possibility of Wu Ling'er's follow-up, saying something like "I would be more beautiful with her".
"When my dark spots faded, we naturally had to compete. She pretended to be dead to avoid the misfortune, while I lost sight of my dark spots. We are kind of suffering from the same problem."
"It's your turn."
"Haha, why do we seem to be doing business? It's like exchanging things for things."
Later, Wu Ling'er talked about her days as a princess. Those days were naturally not as exciting as what Chen Mo said. They were nothing more than seeing a miracle doctor to look at her dark spots. Yes, she did not give up on her love during those days.
The treatment of black spots then helps Wu Kou to take the position of head of the family after his father's death.
Only then did Chen Mo know that when Wukou adopted Wu Ling'er's family, the people in the Wu family were his biological father, but they were not the owners of the Wu family. But Wukou didn't have a good relationship with them. Except for his mother,
Chen Mo has already seen some clues.
"I have thought about a lot of things over the years, many of which I find fanciful. Even though they are a bit fanciful, I still try them slowly."
"You know, before I arrived at Mount Liusu, many people thought that I was just a first-level warrior, and that I couldn't do it suddenly, just like a person who embarks on an official career and can only be a minor in the next life.
The young ninth-level Sesame Officer wants to break through, but I just do their whims, and Chen Hong, I broke through in Liusu Mountain, and now I have the strength of the third realm."
Wu Ling'er listened to Chen Mo's words, her deep eyes filled with stars.
"Then do you want to know the fantastic things I said?"
"..."
.......
When Chen Mo walked downstairs, it was still dark, but only a few moments before the first light of dawn. Wu Ling'er's maids fell asleep lying on the table downstairs. It seemed that they had no interest in Chen Mo anymore.
Be cautious and considerate, maybe they knew that Chen Mo was here to save his mother-in-law and would not harm him.
Chen Mo walked to Pei Ling and patted her shoulder gently. Pei Ling looked at Chen Mo with drool, and immediately realized that she had lost her composure. She hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and said, "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?
Go back?"
"Well, it's almost dawn." Chen Mo nodded and said.
"Is it already this hour? Where is the queen?" At this time, she thought of making breakfast.
"She should have fallen asleep on the recliner. Do you want to go up and take a look?" When Chen Mo came down, Wu Ling'er was already lying on the recliner with the blanket and closed her eyes.
"Oh oh oh, then, Mr. Chen, please walk slowly." Pei Ling said hello to Chen Mo and walked upstairs cautiously.
