"...Huh?" Cao Xiwan looked at the scabbard. She raised her head and looked at each other with Liu Ruhai.
"Are they... playing dirty tricks?" she mused, "or are they trying to please me?"
"The latter." He answered clearly.
"...But I haven't even used Qingyin Zhengqi Jue." She couldn't figure it out. She hadn't had time to control the puppet yet.
"...You just said that you practice water every winter?" he asked with a smile. He took off his cloak and handed it over. He could see just now that under the water, a dozen puppets didn't even approach her.
Very strange.
Ordinarily, puppets that can enter water should be the best among masters.
She was moved to accept it, wrapped it warmly for herself, and stubbornly shirked the responsibility and explained: "They besieged me ferociously down there. I think they were caught in a trap. They just didn't want me to use my voice to control the enemy-"
There was another bang, and the puppet threw up a big clam shell.
Liu Ruhai was stunned. She squatted down and poked with her sword. The clam shell moved. She was shocked: "It's alive, it's alive!"
Liu Ruhai suppressed laughter, opened the clam shell with his sword, and spit out two lake beads.
The puppet was fished out from the bottom of the lake, as if it was given to her.
"..." She pondered for a long time. She knew that she was loved by everyone, but she was not so popular?
"Can't figure it out?" he asked, holding back a smile.
"Yeah." If something goes wrong, it must be a monster. She has seen too many deceptions by magicians in Jinyi Yamen.
"Is this a new trick?" She discussed with Liu Ruhai.
"..." Liu Ruhai was surprised by her too cold temperament. She sighed: "When you are sold to a kidnapper by your parents, you won't believe anyone."
"Your parents said it was a misunderstanding."
"You are patronizing the eldest lady and not your daughter. Is that true?"
"..." It is indeed true, so your parents cannot hold their heads high in front of you. They are threatened, intimidated and doubted by you every day.
"That's what being a house slave is like." She sighed.
"Already deregistered?" He didn't rush her, watching her quietly stuffing the two lake beads into her arms.
"You will get a quarter of it," she promised. "Everyone who meets you will get a share."
"Okay." He smiled and pondered in his heart whether he should ask her to go to Taizu's imperial mausoleum together. If he called her, he might be able to find the posthumous edict.
He looked at Cao Xiwan and didn't want to mention it rashly. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to mention it to her tactfully?
Lou Xiliu and Xiao Zhao also rowed over, and Bai Fu'er was rocking the oar at the stern of the boat. He saw Cao Xiwan squatting beside the boat, talking to the two puppets who appeared:
"You are good puppets. Give me beads. Do you want to be my companion?" She said pleasantly, "Although there is no salary, we are so good. Talking about salary is too emotional. We all fight for the court and the people of the world.
.”
"..." Xiliu asked his senior brother quietly, "What is Madam Qing doing?"
"Drawing a big cake to trick the hard workers." Xiao Zhao lowered his voice.
Sure enough, the puppet ignored her.
Liu Ruhai frowned and looked at the puppet disappearing into the water. This was not quite right.
While he was still thinking, Cao Xiwan had already stood up, stamped her feet, and used her energy to drive the boat. She pursued him again.
Liu Ruhai was slightly startled, the lake breeze was cold, her eyes were clear and she looked calm and calm: "I told you before, I will."
I just learned it. He laughed.
Sure enough, the enemy had long since disappeared. She stepped on the boat, used her true energy to drive the boat, and made a conspicuous circle in the reeds along Lake Mochou, causing the waterbirds to fly around in the early morning.
He smiled and leaned in the boat, squinting his eyes slightly and watching a ball of golden sunlight leap out of the sky and out of the blue lake.
He looked back with a smile, and saw her with a solemn face, holding a sword on the bow of the boat, looking sadly into the distance, her clothes and belt blowing in the wind, like a goddess.
In fact, she tried hard to control her excitement and drove the boat to fly on the lake. She thought to herself, indeed, even in a water battle, she, the Qingluo female ghost, is invincible.
"Next time, call Lian Jue. No, call the two heroes of the Yu family first." She finally couldn't hold it back.
"Duel?" He raised his eyebrows.
"right."
He couldn't help but laugh.
Lou Xiliu on the other boat was confused and didn't know what she was doing until she drove the boat back majestically.
Bai Fu'er also secretly remembered that when the Qingluo female ghost avenged her enemies, she didn't understand what it meant not to pursue the poor criminals. She liked to kill them all.
If the Qingluo female ghost didn't look weak and let Xiliu support her, she would be more like a ferocious master.
She asked Xiao Zhao to help sheath the sword, and boasted: "Eunuch Dong, I have saved him before, I am much stronger than him. Why can't he think about it like this?"
Liu Ruhai laughed and glanced at the reeds on the shore: "...He thought you were losing your strength."
"What can a person like me do if I don't practice martial arts?" She untied her cloak and gave it back to Liu Ruhai, looking at him puzzledly, "Aren't I a very smart person?"
"Think less and worry less."
"...You are right." Her eyes were dull, and she weakly urged Xiao Zhao, "Hurry, go back to the palace. I don't think I can do it well."
And Liu Ruhai disappeared in a flash, stepped on a small boat and drove straight to the outskirts of Shangyuan County on the horizon: "Go back to the city quickly, the army will be here soon."
Cao Xiwan turned around in astonishment, but she was dissatisfied: "He walked on the waterway, he was deliberately showing off to lose my face."
As for the coming of King Zhao's army, she had just heard Eunuch Dong show off about it.
She is very calm.
The military intelligence information has been reported to the superior officer a long time ago. What can be done if the superior officer refuses to listen?
"...Maybe he chased her to avenge you." Lou Xiliu persuaded her tactfully.
She looked at Lou Xiliu in shock.
Xiliu immediately reflected: "I was wrong. I think he is quite good-looking and gentle and considerate."
Cao Xiwan quickly comforted her: "The color makes you faint. It's okay. It's okay. Do you think that when you are born into a demon fetus, you need to find a good doctor if you go crazy? You just want to curry favor with him?"
Lou Xiliu and Xiao Zhao both nodded deeply.
"Okay, okay." She agreed, "If you flatter me more, you don't have to pay the medical fee. What do you think?"
Bai Fu'er looked at the three people speechlessly, discussing in front of him how to trick Manager Liu.
But just now Manager Liu left him a message: "Go back to the palace with her. Tell her that I will go find her in a few days."
Baifu'er was still thinking of a solution, but Cao Xiwan's boat had already entered the water gate of the capital, and the boat entered the Qinhuai River.
When they arrived at the dock by the river, Xiao Zhao pulled her, and she saw a group of cargo ships sailing into the capital. They were the ships of the Crown Prince of Qin.
Behind them were several ships belonging to the King of Tang and King Dai.
She thought that if she boarded the ship and searched it now, she might find that it was filled with soldiers, armor, provisions, and all of them were rebels.
Thinking about it this way, what's the big deal about King Zhao's army? The next emperor may not be sure. She was very interested.
She jumped off her boat and looked back at the rebel Baiful: "Do you want to do odd jobs here?"
"...I wonder what odd jobs are?" He laughed.
"Kill a person. Do a vote."
"Who." Baifu'er has already thought about how to refuse - the Qingluo female ghost wants to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor.
Sure enough, Manager Liu was right. When she hunts down Eunuch Dong, she will decide that the old eunuch has suffered for someone else. Who needs a group of puppets to guard the mausoleum?
Your Majesty, the Emperor, is the one who created the figurines.
