Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"Don't make a sound..."

A'Zhu took Wu Gong and hid in the cellar.

Suzhou is the hometown of Murong family.

It's full of secret passages and hiding places.

The Murong clan of Gusu trained more than 10,000 dead soldiers in Yanziwu.

Now these dead soldiers are scattered in and outside the city of Suzhou, living like ordinary people.

However, as long as Murong Fu gives the order one day, the dead soldiers will immediately wear armor and go into battle to capture Suzhou City.

However, privately casting and collecting armor is tantamount to treason.

In order to prevent being caught, the deadpools did not dare to store the armor close to their bodies, so they could only place the armor in secret passages and hiding places around Suzhou City.

Wu Gong looked at the large sealed boxes around him and frowned slightly: "What are those?"

"It's all armor."

"armor?"

"Yes, hiding armor privately is tantamount to rebellion. For safety, the armor is stored in different secret passages and can be retrieved only when needed."

A'Zhu suddenly grabbed Wu Gong and took him into his arms. Then Hui Zhang blew out the candle in the distance, and the entire secret passage fell into darkness again.

There were dense footsteps overhead.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Wu Gong subconsciously held his breath.

Needless to say, the one who can chase into this deep mountain and old forest must be the black-clothed guard.

They must have discovered the carriage abandoned nearby, and then they gave chase.

However, even if they found the carriage, they might not be able to find the secret passage.

After all, no one would have thought that there would be a secret passage for hiding armor in the dense bushes.

Soon, footsteps passed overhead and became farther and farther away.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah"

Just about to speak.

A'Zhu's palm covered his mouth.

There was a thrill in his body.

Wu Gong immediately understood that the person had not gone far.

A'Zhu's mouth slowly touched his ear: "They haven't left yet, don't make any noise, there are experts in that group of people!"

Master Li stood beside the carriage.

The wheels of the carriage that Wu Gong and the others were riding in were deeply sunk into the mud.

As for the horses that were supposed to be carrying the reins, they no longer knew where they were.

She boarded the carriage, narrowed her eyes slightly and twitched her nose.

"Sir, we have searched everything nearby and found no trace of them."

Master Li did not speak, but continued to wiggle his nose, as if he wanted to imprint all the smells in the carriage into his mind.

"Pearl powder and the art of disguise, no wonder I can't find it!" Li Shishi raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself in a low voice, and then walked out of the carriage: "They used the art of disguise. You can continue to look for it here. I’ll go to Suzhou City first!”

Li Shishi remembered the smells of A'Zhu and Wu Gong. The next time they met, even if they were tens of meters apart, she would be able to discover their identities immediately if they could smell them.

He hid in the tunnel until midnight.

A'Zhucai left the tunnel with Wu Gong.

The two of them did not immediately go to Yanziwu deep in the reed pond in Dongting.

Instead, he found a large car shop outside Suzhou and stayed there.

"Otherwise, I'd better go back to Yanziwu with you!" Wu Gong scratched his head and said.

"No!" A'Zhu shook his head decisively: "I know Murong Fu very well. If I give this thing to him, he won't say anything.

But if he knew about this, and you knew about it, he would definitely kill him.

He is a ruthless person, and he will do this to keep secrets. "

Wu Gong scratched his head: "How can you ensure that I won't kill you and silence you? Could it be that you and him..."

A'Zhu rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Next time, if you dare to talk such nonsense again, I will ignore you."

Wu Gong smiled and pecked her lips gently: "Then I will wait for you here?"

"It's very safe here. You stay here and don't go out. Someone will bring food in every day. I will be back in two days at most, but if I haven't come back after two days, there may be an accident. This box I'll give it to you. You can go and give it to the prefect of Suzhou.

He and the Murong family are sworn enemies, and he was specially sent by the imperial court to curb the power of the Murong family! "A'Zhu said and put the black box on the table.

When Wu Gong heard that A'Zhu might be in danger, the thought of giving up flashed through his mind.

But A'Zhu said one step ahead: "The Murong family has been very kind to me. If everything goes according to plan when I go back this time, I will hand over the blood letter to him.

When the time comes, I will make a clean break with the Murong family, so that I can always be by your side in the future. "

Wu Gong looked at A'Zhu and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

The two chatted all night until dawn, before A'Zhu reluctantly left.

Wu Gong saw her leaving figure through the window and always felt a little uneasy.

However, Wu Gong seems to have no other option except waiting patiently.

We held the boat back to Yanziwu.

The swallows are hiding among the dense water plants.

Although it can be reached by land, there are traps and traps along the way.

Not to mention ordinary people, even A'Zhu was not sure that he could return to Yanziwu safely by land.

However, it is much safer if you take the water route.

However, the terrain of the reeds and grass is complex and full of hidden sentinels.

Ordinary people would also die under random arrows if they couldn't tell the secret code.

The actual distance between Yanziwu and Suzhou is only thirty miles, but under the circumstances, they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Not many outsiders can successfully reach Yanziwu alive.

Therefore, few people in Suzhou know where Yan Ziwu is?

After all, the Murong family was once a royal family of a country, even though it has declined now.

But a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and a centipede is dead but not stiff.

Licking his lips.

A'Zhu sang softly, and as she sang a cappella, the sound of birds chirped in the surrounding reeds.

Moreover, the chirping of the birds became louder and louder, guiding A'Zhu to slide deeper into the reed marsh.

It took half an hour.

Crossed the last inlet.

Among the lush woods, dark brown roofs appeared inexplicably.

White cranes are playing and looking for food on the water. The water and sky are the same color at the junction in the distance. It is quiet and peaceful, just like being in a fairyland. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they can't extricate themselves for a long time.

The ferry on the shore was already filled with women in twos and threes. A'Zhu smiled brightly and stretched out his hand to wave to them.

As soon as the boat reached the shore, the women helped A'Zhu stop the boat.

Abi and A'Zhu, who were wearing long turquoise dresses, hugged each other and said, "You're finally back. I'm even thinking about whether to go to the north to find you!"

"Aren't you worried about what I'm doing?" A'Zhu held A Bi's hand tightly. Although she and A Bi were not biological sisters, they were better than real sisters. But then, A'Zhu's expression darkened: "It's a pity that none of them could escape successfully. The Manchu Tatars poisoned all the martial arts people who surrendered. As long as they don't take the antidote for a while, they will He will die suddenly. In the future, it may be more difficult to plant a traitor in the Qing court."

"These damn Tatars!" Abi grabbed A'Zhu's hand and led her towards the house not far away: "Go back and have a good rest first, the young master is meeting guests."

"Meeting guests? What kind of guests?" A'Zhu asked casually, but stopped walking the next second.

Because, in the distance, there are a few scattered men in black sitting on the shore drinking. The wine jars beside them have been set up high, and they must have been drinking for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"Who are they?"

"Oh, it's the host of Ciyun Temple in Wuxi who is visiting us and is negotiating with the young master.

These are her escorts, and the young master asked us to entertain them. "

A'Zhu frowned and immediately secretly said something bad.

However, when I thought about it, Yan Ziwu was so big, it would be fine as long as he didn't see them.

Thinking of this, she immediately regained her expression: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and have a rest first. After I see the young master in the evening, I'll go find you and let us sisters have a good chat!"

Abi said: "Okay!" As she said that, she suddenly put her nose over and started to smell.

"What's wrong?"

"Why do you smell weird?"

"Have it?"

"Yes! It smells like sweat."

Abi looked confused, but A'Zhu seemed to have remembered something, her cheeks turned slightly red, "Maybe it's because I've been traveling day and night, and my body will inevitably smell like sweat."

"Then go to Muhuachi and wash up! You can't go to see the young master covered in sweat."

"good!"

Muhuachi is a hot spring pool that is filled with smoke all year round.

Because Yanziwu is located in the middle of a river and lake, it is very humid and there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants.

But as long as you soak in Muhua Pool, your body will not only stay dry, but snakes, rats, and ants will not come near. It is very popular among the women on the island.

He returned to the room and hid the long post.

A'Zhu and A Bi came to Mu Huachi together.

Ordinary maids can only come here to wash themselves at the beginning and end of the month.

But A'Zhu and A Bi are obviously not among them.

They can come here whenever they want.

Muhuachi occupies a very large area and is like a small lake.

Because it is surrounded by ancient trees and bushes, the white hot smoke cannot disperse. Over time, it forms a spectacle. As long as you step into it, you will be enveloped in the invisible mist.

In summer, the fog will be lighter, but in winter, the fog will be particularly noticeable.

Slowly got into the water.

A'Zhu and A Bi were playing around for a while, but suddenly there were heavy footsteps from the shore.

The two of them were suddenly stunned. Immediately look towards the shore.

Only then did I realize that seven or eight strange nuns were serving a woman to undress.

As if aware of the eyes here.

The woman turned her head.

"It turns out to be you!"

Abi smiled and waved, not noticing the sudden change in A'Zhu's face behind her.

Master Li nodded.

She knew Abi. When she went to the island, it was Abi who took her in in the boat.

His eyes glanced at the face of the woman behind her.

Master Li's face suddenly stiffened, and then his smile became even brighter.

She waved her hand to dismiss the maid, and jumped lightly with her feet. She was like a piece of mutton-fat white jade, or like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl on the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. The white mist surrounded her back and forth, and she slowly submerged into the pool. , without a single splash of water, until it completely disappeared.

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

When she appeared again, she was already beside A'Zhu and A Bi.

Look at her beautiful face.

Abi showed an envious expression.

However, Master Li didn't look at her at all. Instead, he said to A'Zhu, "Have we met before?"
