After waking up, Zhao Wuyou looked at the embroidery needle he had thrown on the bedside. He was still cursing himself secretly, wondering if he was too stupid for trusting this woman of unknown origin so easily.
He picked up the tiger beard the size of an embroidery needle and pierced the huanghuali bed board at the head of the bed to test the hardness of the tiger beard.
"Dang Dang Dang"
Without exception, the tiger whiskers easily penetrated the hard huanghuali bed board.
But what's the use of using this? I can't use a needle, and I don't know how to use a concealed weapon. Zheng Lang looked helplessly at the embroidery needle in his hand, secretly cursing himself for being too weak when facing that woman, and actually let it go so easily.
She muddled through.
After waking up, Banban came closer. It was now more lively and flexible than before. When it saw Zhao Wuyou's injured tiger beard, it trembled involuntarily.
But can a mere tiger beard have such a powerful deterrent? It’s almost the same as a toothpick used to pick teeth, so what’s so scary about it?
Zhao Wuyou calmed down and embarked on a duty career that came back every few days. He had never been a social animal in his two lifetimes. Now he never expected that he would be able to become a social animal in the Fengming Empire.
The coldest days have passed. Although there is still a bit of cold wind in the morning, it is obviously different from before. Zhao Wuyou walked to the duty room, took out the halberd that symbolized his identity, walked to the Queen's Palace expressionlessly, and made a handle.
Guards at the palace gate.
Perhaps the Queen was in a bad mood today, so the halberd bearers who had already missed work several times were assigned to stand guard together. They did not have the good life of resting in the duty room before.
"It's really cold today. Fortunately, I wore thick clothes. Otherwise, it would have been really uncomfortable."
"Yeah, but it looks like the weather today doesn't look like snow, so it won't be difficult to persevere."
The three people next to him were sitting together chatting, while Zhao Wuyou stayed where he was without speaking. He lowered his head and closed his eyes as if to rest.
"Zhao Wuyou, the queen will return to her parents' home soon. You and the halberd bearer will lead the team together." The palace maid walked up to Zhao Wuyou with a proud look and conveyed the queen's order.
Go back to your parents’ home? Which Li’s house are you going back to? As far as I know, the Queen’s wife only has an eighty-year-old woman alive, and Li Jingxing’s father is responsible for raising this old lady.
Could it be that he was going to Li Jingxing’s house?
The maid was a little unhappy when she saw that Zhao Wuyou didn't show any expression, but she had recently heard about Zhao Wuyou's character and didn't dare to go too far.
She walked forward and stopped less than a foot away from Zhao Wuyou.
"Did you hear the Queen's command just now? If so, please give me a response so that I can go back and report to the Queen."
"Well, I understand, you can go ahead." Zhao Wuyou nodded and let the woman go back, while he looked at the three people around him with some dissatisfaction.
Why is it that when these three people are on duty, I not only have to stand guard, but I also have to take the queen back to her parents' home. It must be that these three people are not compatible with me.
After the palace maid heard the clear reply, she left with satisfaction.
After a while, the queen appeared with a team of people. Her trip was extremely grand and elegant.
Zhao Wuyou just passively led the way. When he walked out of the palace, Zhao Wuyou mounted his tall horse and walked at the front of the team alongside the other three.
Haha, the halberd-wielding man is almost like the sword-carrying guard in front of the emperor in later generations. In most cases, he is just a decoration, and only in rare cases can he play his role.
All the people on both sides of the street were asked to avoid the carriage. The Queen's carriage was driving slowly on the road. She was traveling alone. For this reason, the downtown area was cleared, and there were as many as a thousand people accompanying her. It was really no joke.
No wonder these people are unwilling to go out. It is troublesome and slow. Only those who enjoy such trouble will take the trouble to go out.
Before Zhao Wuyou could scold the queen in his heart, the team had already stopped neatly in front of Li Jingxing's house.
And this boy was already waiting outside the door with his father. The arrogance on Li Jingxing's face, and the pride that the Queen was his aunt, he really wished that everyone in the world knew about it.
If you don't slap him on this face, you won't be able to forgive him.
Zhao Wuyou dismounted according to the rules and respectfully welcomed the queen to get off the carriage at the door.
Immediately afterwards, her personal maid and several eunuchs accompanied her into the palace, and the halberd-bearing man followed not far behind her.
Li Jingxing on the side looked at Zhao Wuyou with pride in his eyes. When this guy looked at the queen, he was full of flattery, but when he looked at himself, his eyes were full of contempt.
But it's not Li Jingxing's fault. Every time, it was Zhao Wuyou who embarrassed him openly and openly. Now in front of his aunt, he could be sure that Zhao Wuyou would not dare to do anything bad to him in front of the queen.
That's why you dare to be so arrogant.
Haha, this time, my embroidery needle finally came in handy.
Zhao Wuyou followed the team with an expressionless face. When Li Jingxing wasn't paying attention, he took out the tiger beard that he had put on his sleeve.
He smiled, pricked his beard firmly on Li Jingxing's back, and pulled it out without him noticing.
The speed was so fast that the people next to him didn't even see Zhao Wuyou take action.
Li Jingxing just thought that there were some threads on his body that made him itch, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Soon, an inadvertent blood color appeared on his body, slowly passing through the lining and reflecting on the outside of the clothes.
Fortunately, the clothes he was wearing were red and not obvious. Zhao Wuyou paid attention to him and found blood oozing from his body.
Other people didn't notice any difference in him at all.
Accompanied by everyone, the queen also walked to her mother's room to chat. As a halberd bearer, Zhao Wuyou and others could not get too close, so they could only withdraw with Li Jingxing and others and retreat to the entrance of the backyard.
Li Jingxing noticed something was wrong at this time, and he touched his lower back in confusion.
"What's going on? Winter has just passed. Why am I wet all over? It can't be the return of moisture." He took his hand back.
"I'm going, what's going on?"
Li Jingxing was stunned when he saw his hands covered with blood. He did not expect that he would actually bleed.
Everyone in the Li Mansion on the side quickly stepped forward to support Li Jingxing, fearing that something would happen to their young master.
Zhao Wuyou also pretended to step forward. When no one was paying attention and wanted to look at his lower back, he inadvertently put his tiger whiskers on the ground.
"Ouch!" Li Jingxing had a big reaction this time. He bowed his body and cried with a blush on his face.
"It hurts so much,"
Zhao Wuyou put away his tiger beard, looked at the ground, and said somewhat strangely:
"Did a pine needle just prick you? You're howling like this."
His movements were extremely fast, and there were a lot of pine needles on the ground, so no one cast suspicious eyes on him.
But after a long illness, he became a good doctor. Li Jingxing was sure that it was Zhao Wuyou who was responsible, but he couldn't find any tangible evidence.
The miserable Li Jingxing was carried away by his servants. Before leaving, he looked at Zhao Wuyou with resentment. He had absolutely reason to believe that Zhao Wuyou was causing trouble in all this.
Zhao Wuyou and the other three people finally walked to their posts and guarded them carefully, but Li Jingxing's situation was not so good.
The housekeeper who took him away quickly reported to Zhao Wuyou and others:
"My young master is bleeding heavily and needs to be notified immediately. Please let me go in and inform him."
The butler's expression was anxious, but it didn't look like he was pretending.
"Is it possible that this little tiger beard is so powerful that it can cause severe bleeding just by pricking it?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, but couldn't figure it out.
"Stand here and tell me carefully, why did your young master bleed profusely just after being pricked by a pine needle? Doesn't that matter? He is obviously a halberd wielder, why is he so weak?
The housekeeper was also anxious at this time, and he said with a red face:
"Where the young master was injured, our doctors did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they could only simply stop the bleeding. Who knew that the young master was still bleeding profusely, as if there was something hidden inside."
"Well, my stabbing was really accurate." Zhao Wuyou awkwardly covered his forehead with his hand to relieve his embarrassment.
"Go and report, don't let these outsiders in." Zhao Wuyou looked at the halberd wielder opposite him.
According to the rules, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion must not be allowed in. Only people brought by the queen can be informed at all levels.
The person named by Zhao Wuyou immediately turned around, left the door, and walked directly into the courtyard.
Zhao Wuyou, who was at the door, had an expressionless face and continued to look at the housekeeper who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
After a while, Li Jingxing's father came out of the courtyard. He looked anxious and rushed to Li Jingxing's room with his housekeeper.
Before he could leave, the queen's personal maid also walked out of the courtyard with the golden medicine given by the queen and went to treat Li Jingxing's injury.
Zhao Wuyou played with this tough and small tiger whisker that looked like an embroidery needle under his wide sleeves.
In the afternoon, when Zhao Wuyou and others left, Li Jingxing's injury finally stopped bleeding. The imperial physician who came out of the palace suggested that he had eaten something rare, which was why he was bleeding from his waist, and he also started to bleed from his lower body.
Some people even suspect that a pine needle still remains in his body.
When Zhao Wuyou heard the prescription, he almost laughed out loud.
"For laxative, drink three buckets of pear water every day."
If he really drank this, Li Jingxing would not do anything else for the whole day but squat in the toilet without coming out.
Perhaps because of Li Jingxing's complaint, when the queen got on the carriage, she even asked someone to search Zhao Wuyou's body inch by inch in order to find the murder weapon that Zhao Wuyou committed.
She didn't know that Zhao Wuyou had hidden that magical tiger beard in his heel so that no one could find it.
Early the next morning, Zhao Wuyou changed his clothes and got off work, but was searched again by the queen's personal eunuch. After it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, he was allowed to leave the palace.
In the afternoon, Zhao Wuyou heard rumors in the capital that Li Jingxing had been poisoned and was vomiting blood every day, which was very scary. There were even rumors that Li Jingxing was not going to die soon, and the Li family had begun to prepare for his funeral.
Zhao Wuyou returned to the inn and sat in the room. He held up the short tiger beard in his hand and felt a little emotional in his heart. It turns out that this gadget can not only make Banban scared, but also has such great power. It is really
It's incredible.
He originally thought he was at a disadvantage, but only then did he realize how much of an advantage he had taken.
Zhao Wuyou rested for a while at the inn, then rode back to the foot of the mountain he contracted.
Wherever there is large-scale construction work, you need to be on hand to plan and carve out a way out for these hungry people.
At the foot of the mountain, which was originally empty, there are now many simple houses, and the large forest that can be connected to pipelines has also undergone considerable changes under the repairs of many people.
"Brother, are you here?" Aqi called Zhao Wuyou's name from all the way at the foot of the mountain. His voice was kind and made people feel comfortable.
"How are you now? Is there any trouble?" Zhao Wuyou stood with A Qi with a riding crop in hand, looking at the hungry people who were busy at the foot of the mountain.
"We haven't found any trouble yet. Now everyone is very motivated. They just hope to clear a road, build houses with wood, and use the cleared land for spring plowing." Aqi said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right. Spring plowing waits for no one. The cleared land can be plowed immediately to plant something." Zhao Wuyou nodded and began to take A Qi and others around the gathering place for the main film to plan the next steps. This chapter has been completed!
