Chapter 157 - The Scholar"s Stronghold LordWei Yuanwei only shook her head and sighed, "A dead man who doesn"t have much time left to die yet is actually so arrogant and despotic."
Li mama"s face sunk. She quickly walked in front of Wei Yuanwei and revealed a ferocious expression, "Wretch, you"re already at the brink of death, yet you still dare to say such arrogant words."
"Since you know that I"m an imperial concubine, why did you still do such a disobedient thing? Is your death imminent or what?" Wei Yuanwei smiled at Li mama, there was no panic in his eyes.
"Hehe, even if I do, do you know, what"s the use of your two maids knowing? As long as you enter the Wu Mountain Village, no one will believe your words. " Li mama smiled sinisterly.
"Is the girl better?" A man dressed like a scholar slowly walked over.
Although there was some disdain in Li mama"s eyes, she still blessed the scholar.
The ones following behind the scholar were Ah Qing and Yin Sheng. Seeing Wei Yuanwei lying on the bed, they both revealed expressions of joy and heartache.
Wei Yuanwei vigilantly looked at the scholar. His features were delicate and pretty and he was dressed in green.
Wei Yuanwei ignored him and directly held onto Ah Qing and Yin Sheng"s hands: "How are you guys?"
"The people here didn"t make things difficult for us, so we stayed there while enjoying the food. It"s just that the food we make is too unpalatable." Ah Qing wrinkled his nose.
"Oh you, it"s already good enough for you to be able to take back your life. Master, we really have to thank the people here. Who knows, we might even get caught by a wild wolf." "We heard that in a few days, the village chief would be getting married, and thinking that my female worker was not bad, we helped him to make a wedding." Yin Sheng gratefully looked at the scholar.
They probably didn"t know that these people were the culprits behind their suffering.
"Ah Qing, Yin Sheng, you two may leave, I have something to discuss with this mister." Wei Yuanwei said indifferently.
After the two of them left, the scholar sat down on a wooden chair beside Wei Yuanwei"s bed.
"You are the stronghold master"s lobbyist?" Wei Yuanwei sized up the scholar. How could such a delicate and pretty person become a bandit? You really can"t judge a book by its cover.
The scholar smiled. "Correct."
"I can agree to marry your chief, but before I do, I want you to send my two female servants down the mountain." If she had escaped by herself, then it would be fine. However, she wasn"t sure if she would have brought two people with her. Since that was the case, why not send these two people down the mountain first?
After a moment of silence, the scholar nodded his head.
Before he left, Yin Sheng held onto Wei Yuanwei"s hand with teary eyes: "Master, why didn"t you come down the mountain with us?"
"Silly girl, I haven"t fully recovered from the injuries on my body. I can"t stand this kind of b.u.mpiness." Wei Yuanwei said with a smile.
"Then let this servant stay behind to take care of master." Yin Sheng said stubbornly.
However, Ah Qing was a smart person. She knew that one reason Wei Yuanwei did this was because she didn"t want the two of them to become her burden. The other reason was to spread the news.
"My good sister, when Master is well, he will naturally return to find us." Ah Qing carried Yin Sheng and followed the crowd.
The people in the village took care of her in all aspects. The injuries on Wei Yuanwei"s body had already healed, but her arm seemed to have been cut by a sharp rock, leaving behind a long scar.
But at the moment, she did not want to remove the scar. Wei Yuanwei caressed the scar as her thoughts floated away along with the white clouds in the sky.
"Wu Shan"s mountain winds are fierce. This lady"s body has not completely recovered yet. Why has this lady come out by herself?" The scholar stood by her side, dressed in white clothes and a smile on his face.
He stood tall, squinting his eyes as he gazed at the warm sun. His golden eyes pierced through the tree shadows and landed on his cheeks. It was hard to see his current expression.
"I"ve heard that your chief is unable to get close to a woman. Why must I do it?"
"It"s easy to find a beautiful lady, but she"s the one who gave birth to the most beautiful woman in the country." The corner of the scholar"s lips curled up slightly, and he smiled at Wei Yuanwei.
"A gentleman? Do bandits and bandits deserve to be called gentlemen? " Wei Yuanwei laughed in disdain.
The scholar"s eyes slightly trembled, his thin lips revealing a cold arc.
While speaking, Wei Yuanwei had lowered a sharp blade to the scholar"s chest. "I got this blade from the kitchen, I wonder how many cows and sheep the chef has killed with this blade."
There was no sign of panic on the scholar"s face. The light of his sharp blade was like water, reflecting his handsome appearance.
"Does Miss intend to repay kindness with enmity?"
Wei Yuanwei"s eyes were filled with coldness. She had schemed against others before, and had also been tricked by others, but she had never personally killed anyone. If this person had any ulterior motives, she would have killed him without hesitation.
"The girl is really cruel." As he said this, he continued to smile, but his smile was rather cold.
The sharp blade in Wei Yuanwei"s hand suddenly slashed apart Ning Zhiqiang"s skin, causing a bit of blood red to dye her white clothes, like an abnormal red maple in the autumn.
"If I didn"t guess wrongly, you are the chief of the Wushan tribe. What I didn"t expect was that you would be a tall and st.u.r.dy man with an abominable face. I didn"t expect you to be a handsome, white-clothed scholar." When he had easily allowed Yin Sheng and Ah Qing to go down the mountain that day, she had already suspected them.
After all, to these bandits, robbing and robbing families would naturally lead to victory by force, while these people were willing to bow to a scholar. This meant that this scholar"s ident.i.ty was different.
"Miss seems to have misunderstood many of the bandits. The Three Sects and Nine Streams are not despicable people. Those who rob houses might not be evil people. What they lack is only a chance." The scholar"s thin lips parted, and his deep voice was blended in with the rustling of the fallen leaves in the wind.
As they spoke, the scholar reached out his hand to quickly grasp onto Wei Yuanwei"s fingers, and suddenly pulled her into his embrace.
The scholar laughed as he tightly suppressed Wei Yuanwei. Mo Yu"s eyes were filled with the radiance of the stars: "Young lady"s temper is just what I want."
"What great hero of the world, you"re just a virgin disguised as Young Master Qian." Wei Yuanwei coldly snorted.
"It"s so romantic to be a ghost under a peony flower." The scholar laughed as he blew a breath of air towards Wei Yuanwei"s ear. Fortunately, he did not make any further movements, but he nimbly got up and tidied up his clothes.
After Wei Yuanwei stood up, he glared at the scholar in anger. She suddenly raised his blade and stabbed at the scholar, and the scholar, caught off guard, suddenly took a step back.
