Reverse Junhou

Chapter 41 Watching the sea [9]

"Ma'am, the young master has been kneeling outside the pavilion for two or three hours." Miss Wu walked to Madam Wu's side, stretched out her hand to squeeze Madam's shoulders, "I haven't touched the food delivered, all of them have been left to cool."

Mrs. Wu was lying on the beauty couch with her eyes closed, and when she heard what Miss Wu said, she slowly opened her eyes, a look of displeasure appeared in her eyes.

"If this matter gets out, others will think that the boy from the Zhao family gave him some ecstasy soup." Mrs. Wu sneered, "If he could exchange my life for that boy's, I'm afraid he wouldn't even bat an eye. "

Miss Wu lowered her head and said softly, "Madam, calm down, don't get angry."

"Let him kneel, and I'll see how long he can last." Mrs. Wu picked up the teacup on the desk, and took a sip, "I usually avoid seeing him, but now I come to beg."

"Ma'am," Miss Wu said softly, "Didn't the young master get injured a while ago? I think the young master is weak, so I'm afraid he won't last long..."

Mrs. Wu's hand holding the lid was hanging in the air. After a while, she put down the teacup and sighed: "Forget it, let him in."

Miss Wu opened the curtain, whispered something to the people outside the pavilion, and then helped the people outside the pavilion to stand up.As soon as the man entered the pavilion, he knelt down straight in front of Mrs. Wu.

Perhaps it was because of kneeling under the scorching sun for too long, Wen Xuechao's lips turned pale, showing signs of heatstroke.He stabilized his slightly swaying figure, and said to Mrs. Wu in a concentrated voice: "Mother, His Highness Fifth Highness is dying, please take out the antidote for Burning Heart Pill."

Mrs. Wu did hear the news that the Zhao family's child suffered from heart-burning poison in Yincheng and is now dying.She looked at her own son who had a firm gaze in front of her, and said in a calm tone, "I said before that if the imperial court does not withdraw its troops, the Zhao family will be the biggest threat to Wushou. Do you want me to personally offer the antidote to the mortal enemy?"

Wen Xuechao said angrily: "Since His Royal Highness returned to the camp, he has withdrawn the warships cruising outside Junliu Island, and the West Wing Army has also retreated to Duling. He has been following the conditions given by his mother."

"That's because the bargaining chip has always been in my hands." Madam Wu rolled her eyes, "Yu'er, if mother trusts you, she will give him the antidote so casually, and tomorrow he will lead the West Wing Army to fight against you." Come here, do you believe it or not?"

Wen Xuechao seemed to have been exposed by Mrs. Wu's thoughts, she bowed her head and remained silent.Mrs. Wu sighed secretly when she heard Xue Chao's back shaking slightly.

She has been at sea for many years, and she is used to seeing all kinds of strange things, so she naturally didn't realize that the contract of breaking the sleeve was anything new.However, she never expected that her own son's heart would fall on the son of the Zhao family.

She thinks that she has owed Wen Xuechao a lot in the past 20 years, but Wushou and the court are still at odds, and she cannot compromise on this matter.

"Mother," Wen Xuechao suddenly raised his head, "If the child has a way to ensure that His Highness will not send troops to stay, will mother be willing to detoxify him?"

I only heard Xue Chao say: "My child is also willing to take the Burning Heart Pill, and stay on the island to serve mother from now on. Mother can also send someone to tell His Highness the Fifth Highness that if the West Wing Army dares to take a step into Wushou's garrison, let me died of poison."

Mrs. Wu looked at Wen Xuechao in disbelief, but saw that the expression on his face did not seem fake.

"I beg you, my child, to save the life of the Fifth Highness." Wen Xuechao stared at Mrs. Wu, who was above her, and repeated it in her mouth.

Many thoughts popped up in Mrs. Wu's mind.The last time she wanted to keep Wen Xue Chaoqiang in Junliu Island, after weighing the pros and cons, she let him go.The bond between mother and child reunion exists, but most of them are still due to the special nature of Wen Xuechao.His current status is the internal history of the imperial court, the son of the prime minister of Dafu, and the person that the Zhao family's son cares about most.If Wen Xuechao is held in her hands, it will be more effective than the vicious Zhao family.

The spies lurking in the Eastern Territory said that the boy from the Zhao family was injured by Wen Xuechao, and his outburst of anger led to the attack of Fenxin Pill.It seems that although he doesn't care about himself, he is very concerned about Wen Xuechao's safety.

She waved her hand, and the guard brought up two wooden boxes.Madam Wu opened the wooden box in front of Wen Xue, only to see that there was only one snow-white pill left in the box, which must be the antidote.

"Let the two prisoners of the West Wing Army go, and let them send the antidote back to Duling Mansion." Mrs. Wu handed the antidote to her subordinates.

She immediately opened another box, which was the same as last time, with a burning heart pill and an antidote inside.

Madam Wu let out a long sigh, but she didn't move her hands, but Wen Xuechao took a step ahead and took the poison from the box.

"Yu'er, our mother and son are connected by flesh and blood, why are we here now?" Seeing that Xue Chao was so decisive, Madam Wu's eyes were full of complexities.

"Mother, have you ever missed your father all these years?"

Mrs. Wu sneered, as if she had heard some big joke: "Wen Shizhen, that ruthless bastard, what do I think of him?"

Wen Xuechao smiled: "But I have feelings for Your Highness."

The Yandong Army stopped a ship returning from Junliu Island at the Duling Ferry, and there were two prisoners of the West Wing Army who were returned by the pirates.

Zhao Fengci took the wooden box from Zhu Liang with mixed feelings in his heart.He didn't know what method Wen Xuechao used to get Mrs. Wu to bring the antidote.So far, everything is still under planning.

Before leaving, Wen Xuechao told him that the antidote would be the first secret signal he gave.Seven days after I received the antidote, if the elite soldiers of the Yandong Army had prepared enough food, they could start transporting troops from the Huajian secret passage.Ten days later, the West Wing Army quietly marched towards Junliu Island at night.When he gave the next signal, the West Wing Army opened fire directly on Junliu Island.

Wen Xuechao asked him to trust him, so he gave Wen Xuechao all the trust.

*****

"Master, where are we going?" Miss Wu ran out of breath with all the guards behind her, almost unable to keep up with Wen Xuechao's pace.

A group of people made their way to Liujun Mausoleum with great momentum, startling many birds in the forest away along the way.

"I'm going to find some good stone and wood to build a house." Wen Xue walked forward without looking back.

Little Miss Wu felt distressed in her heart, so she had to follow up quickly with her guards.

Everything is due to the whims of the young master a few days ago.

The young master took the Burning Heart Pill in front of his wife, his chest became tight and unbearable, and he gradually got better after lying down for a whole day.The madam took the young master to the mausoleum to breathe and relax that night, but he had a sudden whim and suggested to the madam to build a small house on the edge of the cliff.

The young master said that the high cliff is facing west, facing Du Ling directly.From now on, he will stay at the top of the cliff, facing His Highness the Fifth Prince across the sea, expressing his affection.

Madam loves the young master's body, so naturally everything depends on the young master.No, Madam was afraid that the young master would slip away without paying attention, so she sent a large group of guards to follow him all over the mountain.

The young master wandered around the back mountain, saying that he wanted to go to the top of the cave to have a look.

She was worried about the young master's safety, so she led a group of guards and followed the young master to the mausoleum.

Wen Xue looked east and west at the top of the cave, sent people to cut a lot of high-quality wood, but she was still dissatisfied on the surface.

He walked to a remote grotto in the cave, and saw that the rocks in front of the cave were piled up as a mountain, densely covered with moss.

"What kind of stone is this?" Wen Xuechao asked casually.

"Master, this is the Qingshan Stone." Miss Wu hurriedly said, "Junliu Island is rich in this kind of sea stone. This stone is very strong and does not fit in."

Wen Xue approached and knocked, it was really hard.

"It's just right to build a house," Wen Xue said, "I dug it."

The setting sun is gone, and the sun is setting.A group of people moved back and forth for several hours before moving all the nearby green hills and rocks back to the carriage.

"If there are plenty of stone materials, let's transport them up the cliff." Wen Xuechao showed a satisfied expression.

The little lady Wu sat on the boulder beside her and fell asleep, and she woke up slowly after hearing this.She was a little dumbfounded when she saw the carriage full of green hill stones.The young master asked people to dig so many stones, is it to build a tall building on the cliff?

The Wushou guards had been working hard all afternoon, and they were already exhausted.Hearing the young master's order, he could only stand up listlessly from the ground and drive the carriage up the cliff.

The crowd walked towards the top of the cliff in a mighty manner, Wen Xuechao and Miss Wu rode their horses in front.

After a busy day, the young master is still at ease, and even couldn't help humming a little song.

"What is the young master's happy event today?" Miss Wu turned her head to look at Wen Xue and asked curiously.

Wen Xue turned towards him but smiled and said nothing.

Wen Xuechao has been in Junliu Island for nearly ten days.In the morning, I accompanied Mrs. Wu to have breakfast, and at noon, I went to Junling to work as a supervisor, using Qingshan stone as raw material to repair the hut by the cliff.After nightfall, he went back to the pavilion to have dinner with Mrs. Wu, and then went to bed early.

The guards assigned by Mrs. Wu followed Wen Xuechao for several days, and found that his daily life was the same, and there was nothing unusual about him.

"How is your small building on the cliff?" Mrs. Wu was holding the pipe pole in her hand, the pavilion was filled with smoke, and people could not be seen clearly in the hazy place.

"It will be completed in a few days, and then I will take my mother up the cliff to have a look." Wen Xuechao said.

Mrs. Wu's shoulders were half exposed, and her hair was scattered on her shoulders.She raised her beautiful eyes, pinned the pipe stick to her ear, and sat up from the couch.

"If you are as well-behaved as you are these days from now on, why should I confine you to this small island?" Mrs. Wu's eyes slightly opened, "But you, like Wen Shizhen, have a lot of eyes on weekdays. This time For half a year, you should stay in that small building and don't cause trouble for Nyonya."

"Yes."

After dinner, Wen Xuechao suddenly said: "Mother, tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, I want to take Miss Wu to the river to set off lanterns."

The young lady Wu standing behind Mrs. Wu heard what the young master said, her eyes suddenly brightened.She grew up beside Mrs. Wu since she was a child, and she almost never went to the Duling Mansion, let alone the Ghost Festival.

When Mrs. Wu heard Miss Wu's jumping for joy, her eyes flickered dimly.The cause of the past, the fruit of today.Since Miss Wu was picked up by herself, she hasn't lived a peaceful day.The trivial matter of putting on a lamp can make the girl's family so happy.

"Let's go," Madam Wu smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that I, who has been half buried in the earth, will see the scene of lanterns and festoons and children walking together one day."

The next day, Wen Xuechao taught Miss Wu to make lanterns.

The two found a lot of straw paper and wind candles from the cargo boats going to and from Haidao.Following Guangyang's style, Wen Xuechao taught Miss Wu to fold the shape of a lotus flower.Miss Wu was very interested and made hundreds of lanterns in one afternoon.

"Master, do people put lanterns in the river every Hungry Ghost Festival in Beijing?" Miss Wu asked.

"Not only the Hungry Ghost Festival, but also the New Year's Eve, Xingqing, the people in the neighborhood will put lanterns in the river, praying that everything will go well in the coming year." Wen Xuechao chuckled, "It's not just Guangyang, it reaches Duling in the south and Yandang in the north. , have the custom of setting off lanterns."

"So that's how it is," Miss Wu said joyfully, "If you let me make a wish, I will pray to God to bless my wife and young master in peace."

Wen Xuechao gradually suppressed her smile, patted Miss Wu on the head, and said, "It's getting dark, let's go and put the lanterns on."

The waves beat against the rocks on the shore, and the ferry on Junliu Island was calm.

Wen Xuechao and Miss Wu placed the lanterns they had made in front of the beach, lit the candles, and put them into the sea one by one.

As more and more lanterns are put into the water, the candles on the sea are connected together, and the lotus blooms on the scales.When some lanterns encountered a hidden reef, they spun and drifted further away.

It was pitch black between the sky and the earth, only the sea surface at the ferry crossed, shining a dim yellow light, shining in the eyes of the two of them.

Miss Wu reluctantly watched the lantern drifting away, seeing that the lantern floated far, far away, as if it was blocked by something in the middle, and no longer moved with the waves.She rubbed her eyes, and found that there seemed to be some huge monster hidden behind the reef, gradually emerging from the darkness.

Before she could cry out in surprise, Miss Wu felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and then her eyes went dark, she didn't know anything.

Wen Xuechao caught the fainted girl, put her on the ground slowly, and looked up into the depths of the night.

One ship, two ships... Hundreds of huge monsters tore through the thick night, passed through the sea fog, and sailed towards Junliu Island silently.

Zhao Fengci stood on the main ship, behind him were the soldiers of the West Wing Army who were ready to go, with lanterns floating and candle shadows flickering at the ferry in front of him.

That was Wen Xuechao's signal for him to fire.
