If Li Mu were there, it would probably take him three to five seconds to recognize that this woman was his former deskmate, Wang Shiyu, the campus belle.
Compared with the little girl on Earth who attracted the attention of all the boys and even the male teachers, the current Wang Shiyu, under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi on this planet, had undergone some changes that were almost reborn. Her complexion was better, her spirit was more spirited, her long hair was longer, and she was dressed in an antique style …
Anyway, the current Wang Shiyu was glowing with amazing Spiritual Qi.
Different places nurtured different people.
Not to mention this alien land full of Spiritual Qi.
"Girl, why are you pulling a long face? I'm going to get married, not to die. " Wang Shiyu stood up with a smile and turned a circle in front of the mirror. She seemed very satisfied with her appearance. The private parts that should be protected had been heavily protected. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, haha, come on, little Cui 'er, smile for me."
The maid Cui's tears turned into a smile, but soon she put on a sad face and said, "Your Grace, how can you still smile at this time?"
As Wang Shiyu moved her body to get used to her clothes, she said with a smile, "Why can't I smile? I'm going to be a princess, not to marry a beggar."
Wang Shiyu was not sad and resentful as imagined. At this time, Wang Shiyu was in high spirits and extremely confident.
She had always been a very confident person.
"But, if you want to get married, you should inform the lord," the maid Cui said bitterly.
Wang Shiyu waved her hand and said helplessly, "No, please don't. If my adoptive father knows, I'm afraid he will threaten me with death again. He would rather sacrifice Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhu than let me marry Lord Jin. Then, my plan will all be ruined."
The maidservant, Feicui, said, "Your Highness, you're a noble princess. Bodyguard Wu, Bodyguard Zhu, and the others are all willing to die for you. As long as we can stall for a little longer, the great hero you mentioned will come, then …"
Wang Shiyu smiled and shook her head. "Noble? Willing? Cui, you have to remember that everyone is born equal. There is no hierarchy. I used to be just a wild girl. Thanks to my adoptive father who took me in, I became a phoenix. Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhu have taken good care of me. I can't watch them die."
After coming to this planet for more than a year, Wang Shiyu's ideas had not changed.
Many of the concepts that she adhered to were still theories from Earth. Even as a high and mighty princess, she never felt that she was superior to others. Many of her so-called subordinates were like family and friends to her.
"But … But …" The maid Cui said, "Didn't you say that the hero will definitely save you when he comes? Why can't you wait a little longer? "
Wang Shiyu smiled and said, "If I wait any longer, there will be more innocent people dying because of me. If that happens, I will look down on myself. When he comes, he will also look down on me. He is a great hero who defeated millions of enemies with one saber strike. I can't let him look down on me." At the end of her sentence, a complicated expression appeared on her beautiful face. Soon after, it turned into a proud smile.
"But … But …" The maid Cui still didn't understand. She said, "That Lord Jin is not a good guy. He doesn't really love you. He just wants to take advantage of your identity and status. Will you be happy if you marry him?"
"You little girl, you've heard too many love stories. How can you talk about happiness?" Wang Shiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "What love? It's just a temporary measure. After we get married, we can get a divorce. It's nothing."
She was an Earthling and had a very open mind.
The little maid Cui still couldn't accept it. She cried. She always felt that her princess was so kind, beautiful like a fairy, and so kind. How could she encounter such a thing?
"Well, where is the thing I asked you to prepare for me?" Wang Shiyu put on the red wedding dress, and her whole person was like a flame elf.
Feicui handed an extremely delicate green soft sword to Wang Shiyu and said, "Your Grace, this' Green Snake 'is His Highness's most cherished treasure. It is said that although there is no fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, it can even hurt a Celestial Being … You have to be careful, don't do anything stupid."
Wang Shiyu tied the soft sword to her waist. The sound of a lock came. The green snake's mouth on the hilt opened and swallowed the tip of the sword. She said with a smile, "Do I look like a person who will do stupid things?" She would not commit suicide on her wedding night. The world was so wonderful. She wanted to live and see more. Moreover, she still wanted to go back to her hometown in her lifetime.
"I asked you to drug my adoptive father's tea. Have you done it?" Wang Shiyu asked again.
Cui nodded with a sad face and said, "Yes … Your Grace, if Lord Jin wakes up and finds out that I drugged him, then …"
"It's okay. My adoptive father is so kind and righteous. He probably won't kill you. At most, he will give you a hundred lashes." Wang Shiyu put some jewelry on her body, among which were several shiny golden hairpins. She never wore them on normal days. At this time, she carefully inserted them into her hair bun.
"Ah?" Cui's small face was almost squeezed together.
Wang Shiyu smiled and said, "Look at how scared you are. I'm just kidding … I guess the drug has already taken effect. My adoptive father should be asleep. Come on, let's do it … Go, go, go!"
"Dog? Where is the dog? "Cui looked around in confusion.
…
…
Half a day passed by Lin 'an.
"Ahead is Mount Oxhead," Zhao Ji said excitedly, pointing to the clouds below.
Li Mu looked down.
Sure enough, there was a stretch of mountain ridges below. They weren't very steep, but they were well covered with vegetation, especially one of the ridges. It was shaped like a green ox lying on the ground, and the position where the main peak sat was the ox's head. There were two stone peaks protruding like the ox's horns, and the ox's head was facing the sky, as if it was letting out a long mooing sound. Looking down from above, the ox looked extremely lively.
Mount Oxhead was really worthy of its name.
"Let's go down," Li Mu said.
The white crane let out a long cry, cut open the clouds with its wings, and swooped down.
Soon, it was less than 100 meters from the ground.
"That's the Daoyin Temple."
Zhao Ji pointed to the ox's head on the mountain range.
The ox's head was surrounded by green trees and the sound of a waterfall. In the quiet environment, red bricks and green tiles set off each other, like a fairy palace in the deep mountain, with overhanging eaves, carved railings, and painted pavilions. Extremely exquisite houses were dotted among the green trees and on the mountain wall. If one did not look carefully, one could not find this building complex.
"No." Li Mu scanned with his spiritual force and said, "There is no army around the Daoyin Temple."
Zhao Ji's expression suddenly changed. "Could it be …"
"Let's go down and have a look." Li Mu's spiritual force rolled up several people on the back of the white crane, and then they directly landed at the gate of the Daoyin Temple.
Because of its huge size, the white crane was afraid to disturb passers-by, so it landed on a stone peak in the distance to wait for orders.
The Daoyin Temple was built a thousand years ago. It used to be a royal Taoist temple in the Northern Song. The emperor of the Northern Song was from the Zhao family, who regarded it as their ancestral land. Several emperors of the Northern Song chose to become monks in their later years and entered the Daoyin Temple to cultivate. Later, they also became immortals in the Daoyin Temple. The Daoyin Temple used to be very glorious, but later it experienced some great changes. In addition, the capital of the Northern Song was moved, and the new capital, Lin 'an, was too far from Mount Oxhead, so it gradually declined.
Today, the Daoyin Temple was still a Taoist temple in the royal ancestral land of the Northern Song, but it did not have much strength and heritage.
Walking through the gate, they did not see a Taoist guarding the gate.
After walking for a short distance, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
A group of people ran over, led by a man in a bright yellow royal robe with a golden dragon on it. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and there was a hint of anxiety in his dignified expression. He had even lost his shoes. Behind him were a group of guards, Taoist priests, and a young servant girl with tears on her face …
"Your Highness." Zhao Ji hurried to greet him, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, what happened? Could it be that … the Countess has … "
"Zhao Ji? You're back? Where are the reinforcements Yu 'er asked you to find? " At the sight of Zhao Ji, the eyes of the old man who lost his shoes lit up. But soon, his face dimmed. He said, "It's too late, too late. Yu 'er has been taken away by Lord Jin's people …"
That old man was the famous Lord Virtuous the Eighth in the Northern Song.
But he did not know who the reinforcements Zhao Ji found were. At that time, Zhao Ji broke out of the encirclement in a hurry, so he did not explain many things clearly, and Wang Shiyu did not tell this adoptive father too much.
"What? What should we do? "Zhao Ji was also anxious when he heard that.
He rushed all the way as fast as lightning, but he did not expect that he was still late.
"Don't worry." Li Mu took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, "When was Shiyu taken away? Which direction? "
Lord Virtuous the Eighth answered subconsciously, "Four hours ago, to the northwest. Lord Jin's military camp is thousands of miles away … Eh? Where is he? "
Before he finished his words, his eyes suddenly blurred, and Li Mu was gone.
Zhao Ji said, "Your Highness, what on earth is going on? Logically speaking, she could have held on until I found reinforcements. Why was the Countess taken away by Lord Jin so easily? "
Lord Virtuous the Eighth sighed, "Alas, that silly girl. In order to prevent Lord Jin's people from slaughtering the innocent, she put on the wedding dress and drugged my tea to make me drunk. Then, she deceived everyone and sneaked out of the Daoyin Temple by herself. She got on the bridal sedan outside and left. She fed the tiger with her own body …"
Hearing that, Zhao Ji was dumbfounded. He did not expect such a thing to happen.
"The Countess is too mischievous."
But he immediately realized that this was exactly the Countess's style of doing things, wasn't it?
All along, this kind and brave girl had moved everyone around her time and time again with her rare quality. Everyone could not help but admire and protect her. In the city of Lin 'an, how many young masters and daughters of noble families slandered and ridiculed her, and how many civilians, servants, and maids praised her.
In the aristocratic circle of the capital, which had gradually begun to decay and rot, such a pure, beautiful, brave, and persistent girl was like a white lotus flower growing out of the mud, which shocked the hearts of those who cared about her.
Among the people of Lin 'an, this kind and brave Countess Huanzhu had a reputation almost comparable to that of Lord Virtuous the Eighth.
And Lord Virtuous himself gradually became infatuated with Countess Huanzhu because of these precious qualities and unconsciously fell in love with her. He was even willing to die for the Countess, wasn't he?
"There should be enough time. His Honor Li will rescue the Countess." Zhao Ji came to his senses and hurriedly comforted Lord Virtuous the Eighth and himself.
Lord Virtuous the Eighth said, "Is that the young man just now? He alone can rescue Yu 'er from the thousands of troops of Lord Jin? This … "Lord Virtuous the Eighth was skeptical. Indeed, Lord Jin's power was too great. It could even be said that he was the most formidable force in the entire Northern Song.
Zhao Ji said, "Your Highness, rest assured. If you know his name, you won't ask like this."
Lord Virtuous the Eighth was stunned and asked curiously, "Who … is he?"
