Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 784 The beauty snatched from the prince is Xiang

Wow, wow, wow...

In the bathroom of the City Lord's Mansion in Wudi City, water vapor was rising with silver light. Chu Pingsheng leaned comfortably against the slightly yellowed wall of the tub, enjoying the refreshing moment after the end of his retreat.

Yeah...

The door opened and two figures appeared behind the screen.

"Sir, I put the change of clothes on the couch."

"it is good."

"Just call me if you need anything."

"Why should I call you when she's here?"

"Too."

Green Ant said no more, left the room and closed the door.

After a long while, the figure on the other side of the screen lingered outside for a long time before rustling around the screen and walking towards the bathtub. Her long gauze skirt dragged gently on the wooden board, making a rustling sound.

Chu Pingsheng leaned forward and offered his back.

"Rub your back first."

Yu Youwei slowly bent down, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched out her soft little hands. She shivered when she touched the hot water: "It's hot... I'll go add some cold water."

After saying that, she stood up, scooped water from the jar in the corner several times, walked back with half a bucket of water, poured the cold water into the bathtub, tested the water temperature again, and said it was hot, so she went to the corner to get a bucket to add cold water. She had to divide the task that could have been completed in one go into two or three times.

"I heard that you were the courtesan of Zijin Tower? I know Aunt Han. As a senior mother, every girl who passed through her hands had to go through strict training. Even if you became the courtesan just to assassinate Xu Fengnian, I think you must have studied the means of serving men well, right? Otherwise, what will happen if the performance fails?"

Chu Pingsheng grabbed her wrist, and the splashing hot water wet Yu Youwei's hair. A line of water slowly flowed along the back of her hand with blue veins. "This reminds me of the first time I came to Wutong Garden. It was also in the bathroom. Hongshu helped me to wash my body. You should know what the final result was, right?"

Yu Youwei gritted her teeth and nodded.

He loosened his hand.

This time she didn't mind the hot water and picked up the rubbing stone to rub his back.

"Harder."

She obediently added some strength, but her expression was full of "resistance" and "unwillingness", because every time she saw him she would think of the dead Jiang Ni.

"Yu Youwei, you feel aggrieved, don't you?"

"no no……"

Even a fool could tell that her words were insincere.

"Don't you hate me for what happened to Jiang Ni?"

"No...I don't dare."

"Then have you ever thought about whether she means more to you or your parents mean more to you?"

Her hands stopped and she looked puzzled.

"The Chu State was destroyed by Xu Xiao and Li Yang. What I am doing now is to torture the Xu family to the point where they are neither human nor ghost, and let Xu Xiao pay the price for his evil deeds. At the same time, I will destroy Li Yang and slaughter all the people who are loyal to the Zhao family. For you, the descendants of Western Chu, am I helping you to avenge your hatred by doing this?"

"This..." Yu Youwei pondered in silence. She hadn't thought much about it before, but now that he suddenly asked this, it sounded quite reasonable.

"So I should have been the benefactor of you, the remnants of Western Chu, but why did things turn out like this?"

"Because of the princess... and Lord Cao."

"Do you know how Cao Changqing and I became enemies?"

"do not know."

"When I went to Wudang Mountain, Li Yishan found Cao Changqing and made a deal with him. If he could kill me, I would return the fallen princess Jiang Ni to him. So I fought a big battle with him in Wudang Mountain, and we became enemies ever since. Tell me honestly, was this Cao Changqing's fault or mine?" "This..."

Yu Youwei was speechless. Was Cao Changqing wrong to save Jiang Ni? Yes, but what did Lin Qing do to offend someone who wanted to play with the Xu family?
"It's Li Yishan's fault."

"Yes, this is Li Yishan's conspiracy. Because of the battle at Wudang Mountain, Cao Changqing and I became enemies. You should know the attitude of the Princess of Chu towards Xu Fengnian, right? She opposed me under the banner of eliminating the devil for the world, but the truth is that she has been helping Xu Fengnian all along."

"This... the princess... the princess..."

Yu Youwei hesitated for a long time and did not finish her words, because she knew that anything she said would be self-deception and Jiang Ni did have feelings for Xu Fengnian.

"As long as she doesn't leave Xu Fengnian, I will be hostile to Cao Changqing who is protecting her. Let's not talk about the matter in Xiangfan City. Today, he actually helped Wu Su's family to attack my people. Tell me, what reason do I have to let him go?"

"This……"

"Humph, Cao Changqing is not doing this for the benefit of Chu. He has a crush on Jiang Ni's mother, and therefore places his love for her on her. And did I give Jiang Ni a choice in the end? If she chose to follow me, do you think it would be difficult for me to give the Chu survivors a piece of land after I overthrow Li Yang and let them rebuild their country? But what did she choose? She would rather die than follow me, so think about it carefully, did she put the interests of the Chu people first?"

"This……"

"A princess who doesn't put the interests of the Chu people first, what qualifications does she have to be a princess of the Chu people? She is just a servant of Xu Fengnian and a pawn in Li Yishan's hands. As long as she is alive, Cao Cao and the Chu people will be my enemies. You have seen my style of doing things. If she doesn't die, you should be able to imagine what will happen to the Chu people."

"..."

Because Jiang Ni hated him, Yu Youwei always regarded him as an enemy. However, after listening to him today and thinking carefully about the logic of the incident, he really did nothing wrong. From the beginning to the end, he was torturing the Xu family, and Li Yishan used all the power in the world to snipe him. The one who really did something wrong was Jiang Ni, who fell in love with the son of the man who killed his father and mother and destroyed his country. If Jiang Ni chose to accept his blood and become his woman at the last moment, with his strength, would the goal of restoring the country of Chu be far away?
"Then the question is, Jiang Ni and Cao Changqing died in my hands, what will the Chu people do next? Will they avenge their princess? If they come to me for revenge and want to hurt my woman, I will kill them all in anger. Who do you think is to blame?"

Yu Youwei slumped to the ground.

"Li Yishan...Xu Xiao...these two bastards...bastards..."

"Is Xu Fengnian always saying nice things? Building a positive persona? However, Xu Xiao and Li Yishan are playing the villain, using all kinds of sinister and despicable means. Why? You may not be able to see through it, but in my eyes... hehe, they are acting, one playing the villain and the other playing the hero, because only by doing so, people in Beiliang, like you, Cao Changqing, Li Chungang and those who don't like the Xu family and hate Beiliang, will think that Xu Fengnian is different from Xu Xiao, and then develop fantasies and patience with him. In the final analysis, it's just that the father committed murder to gain power, and then created an image of a benevolent monarch different from himself for his son to whitewash the dark history. It's just a kind of imperial mentality."

After hearing this, Yu Youwei realized how childish she and Jiang Ni were, playing politics and conspiracies, and could not even come close to flattering people like Xu Xiao and Li Yishan.

Chu Pingsheng suddenly grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up.

Yu Youwei only felt her body lighten, and the warm water flowed over her body. He actually carried her into the bathtub. She subconsciously struggled and cried out: "Ah..."

Chu Pingsheng slapped her face. It was a bit loud, but it didn't hurt much. It was mostly the sound of slapping water.

She was stunned and neither struggled nor screamed.

"You are my concubine, what's wrong with taking a bath together?"

"..."

"Before, you followed Jiang Ni's will and became my woman. What about now? First, I am the only one who can help you avenge your parents. Second, I think you should hope that I can be more patient with the Chu people. If you don't really care about me, why should I be patient with ants that can be crushed to death at any time? So whether it is for your family, your country, or yourself, you should correct your attitude and stop looking sad in front of me, as if I am forcibly snatching my daughter."

Yu Youwei lowered her head.

Chu Pingsheng leaned back against the inner wall of the bathtub and hooked his finger at her.

After a while, the sound of water splashed and she leaned into his arms.

"Take off your clothes if you know what's best for you."

"..."

……

A few days later, another explosive news spread in the martial arts world. The Wu family sword tomb was destroyed and the whole family was massacred. Wu Jian led the Wu family's 100 cavalry to attack Wudi City and besiege Lin Qing. This incident brought a catastrophe to the Wu family. With the death of Wu Jian and Deng Tai'a, the two most capable fighters in the Wu family sword tomb, how could the remaining family members resist Lin Qing's revenge?

The Wu Family Sword Tomb is the first, the Dongyue Sword Pool is the second, and Liyang, the two major swordsman holy places, one was massacred and the other was deposed, all of which were done by the evil head of the Lin family. While shaking the martial arts world, it also motivated many swordsmen who had always wanted to enter the Wu Family Sword Tomb but were worried about becoming sword slaves and losing their freedom to go to the Wu Family Sword Tomb to find out, which then developed into a treasure hunt and adventure journey that affected most of the martial arts world.

One after another, good swords were pulled out from the Sword Burial Mountain. Some people packed up the swords and left the mountain, while others gained enlightenment by observing the swords. Of course, there were also many fights for the good swords, and many people died. What puzzled people was that Wu Jianming had evacuated people to the cavity of the neighboring mountain through a hidden passage in order to preserve the descendants of the Wu family, but in the end, everyone, young and old, male or female, was killed.

Even a few Wu family members who had taken refuge in friends' homes in Chaisang County to preserve their last incense also implicated their host family, who took them in, and were brutally exterminated. It seemed that Lin Qing was fully aware of Wu Jian's arrangements, and had truly eradicated them completely, leaving no one alive.
