Chapter 88 Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

Wu Qing was initially quite anxious, after all, the gathering of heroes in Jinan Prefecture was extremely important in the novel.

Moreover, because Dou Jiande's faction was not involved, almost the entire group later became Li Tang's faction.

But now that he can no longer catch up, he's no longer in a hurry.

There's no use in rushing anyway.

Furthermore, because of his interference, even Luo Cheng, the strongest figure in the Wagangzhai uprising, did not participate, thus altering history to some extent.

No matter how big the impact of this change may be, it's good that there is change.

They found a mountain stream, with cliffs on both sides, making it difficult for outsiders to spot them.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, shining on the bottom of the ravine. The flowing water reflected stripes of moonlight, like a moving brocade.

They decided to rest here first.

"Wow, so tired!" Shan Ailian sat on the rock, took off her embroidered shoes, and soaked her bare feet in the cool water, splashing around.

Wu Qing squatted upstream, cupped the river water in his hands, and drank a few mouthfuls to relieve his dry mouth.

He didn't really mind drinking the pretty girl's foot bath water, since the two of them had already been intimate and had exchanged many different positions.

Although he was a man, he was the only one who had virtually no martial arts skills.

While in Wuji Village, it wasn't that I didn't practice at all, but just as Master Cen had said beforehand, the speed of my practice was so slow that there wasn't much difference between practicing and not practicing.

Luo Zhuluan was still wrapped in his large fur coat, leaning against him, her jade legs spread out and her fragrant shoulders exposed.

She lifted her wide sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Despite the journey, her bare feet remained flawless and white, as if untouched by dust.

Dou Xianniang planted the Azure Dragon Halberd in the ground, leaned on it with her right hand, tugged at her collar with her left hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced sideways at the pretty girl next to Qing Ge'er, who was splashing water with her bare feet without any hesitation.

And there was the noble lady, dressed in a man's fur coat but naked underneath, wiping Qing-ge'er's sweat.

"I say, Master, although you didn't make it to Jinan Prefecture, this trip wasn't a complete waste."

She said irritably, "Given the current situation, what do you plan to do? Instead of making friends with those heroes, you've made enemies of the Marquis of Jingbian in Youzhou."

Dan Ailian chuckled and said, "Once Qing-ge'er and Sister Zhu-luan have consummated their relationship, the Marquis won't be able to deny it."

Dou Xianniang was secretly surprised, wondering why her sister Ailian would so readily accept Qing Ge'er and Luo Zhuluan's "forced marriage".

She said irritably, "You think it's that simple."

"No matter how a woman from a powerful family marries, she must still marry into a powerful family. Qing-ge'er was originally a refugee who joined me in the rebellion and has now become a rebel."

"Even if the Luo family beats their daughter to death, there is absolutely no way they would let her marry Qing Ge'er."

"If Qing-ge'er were a young master from a noble family, then even if the two fell in love at first sight, pledged their lives to each other, and did something immoral, they could still be forgiven afterwards."

"But now that the difference in status is there, let alone whether the rice is ripe or not, even if you have a child, it's useless."

At this point, she glanced at Luo Zhuluan, hoping to persuade her to back down.

It's not too late to leave now and return to Luo Cheng's side.

Luo Cheng won't tell anyone, and neither will they, so it can be treated as if nothing happened.

In the future, this noble lady can still marry into a wealthy family and enjoy endless riches and honors. She won't have to live a life of fear and uncertainty with these rebels.

Luo Zhuluan nestled against Wu Qing's arm: "I have always followed Brother Qing and never left his side."

"I know my family won't approve of this marriage. No matter what they say, I'm not going back."

Dou Xianniang laughed heartily, "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more. However, Qing-ge'er is my advisor. You can follow him, but you absolutely cannot try to abduct him."

She has a forthright personality.

Seeing that this girl had truly fallen in love at first sight and was willing to abandon her family for the sake of being with her lover.

I couldn't help but admire her secretly, thinking that this girl was crazy—well, romantic.

So the legendary love story of the Weaver Girl from heaven taking a bath in the mortal world, having her clothes stolen by the Cowherd, and falling in love with him at first sight and never leaving his side, is true?

But at least the Cowherd stole the Weaver Girl's clothes.

The girl took it off herself!

She's even more ill than the Weaver Girl; it's better to forgive this kind of woman.

"And you!" Dou Xianniang tapped Shan Ailian on the head as she sat on the rock.

"Ouch!" Shan Ailian cried out in pain, clutching her head.

"When did you learn martial arts? I had no idea!" Dou Xianniang said irritably. "I even ran to save you when Madam Hei Bai was trying to capture you."

She felt like she was being mocked.

However, at that time, Shan Ailian really didn't know martial arts, so she didn't really mean to tease Dou Xianniang.

Dan Ailian quickly stood up and hugged Dou Xianniang's arm: "Good sister, I really didn't mean to hide it from you."

"Even my father didn't know I knew martial arts! It was taught to me by a mysterious Taoist nun who passed by Erxianzhuang when I was little."

"She specifically instructed me that unless absolutely necessary, I must never reveal to anyone that I know martial arts. She said that her martial arts are rather unique, and she has enemies in secret. If someone with ulterior motives discovers her, it might attract those enemies, so I must not use them recklessly."

"If it weren't for the emergency last night, I wouldn't have dared to expose myself so easily."

She speaks carelessly and makes things up on the spot.

Dou Xianniang glanced at her sideways; how could she believe it?

A thought struck her: "Something's not right!"

Suddenly it occurred to me that in the village, although there weren't many opportunities for Ai Lian and Qing to spend time alone together, I always felt that they were getting closer every day.

However, these so-called opportunities to be alone are limited, and this is based on the premise that Shan Ailian does not know martial arts.

Given the martial arts skills that Shan Ailian displayed last night, she managed to sneak into Qing Ge'er's room in the dead of night, avoiding the guards around the courtyard.

The soldiers on night watch were only guarding against outsiders. How could they possibly guard against a thief like her who knew martial arts?

She wouldn't actually sneak into Qing-ge'er's room every night to be intimate with him, would she?

She stared intently at Shan Ailian.

Dan Ailian felt increasingly guilty under her gaze.

The more Dou Xianniang looked, the more doubtful she became that she had guessed correctly.

A beautiful young woman who sneaks into a man's room every night to throw herself into his arms; a noble lady who falls in love at first sight and rushes over the next night to undress herself.

Who are these girls from?

Dou Xianniang didn't know whether she was out of touch with the times or the two beauties were too ahead of their time.

Never mind, I'll leave it for now.

She looked around and suddenly jumped into the water.

The Azure Dragon Halberd was thrust diagonally into the ground, and when it was raised again, a carp was hanging from it.

Wu Qing, Luo Zhuluan, and Shan Ailian all looked at her.

She smiled and said, "Since things have come to this, let's eat first!"
