Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Thinking of this, Tushan Yourong felt that being able to knock on his granary in the autumn and winter and get him to voluntarily hand over the food and grass was a great sense of accomplishment.

Tushan Yourong stopped talking. Seeing that Chu Wuji was swollen and uncomfortable in her hands, she hugged Chu Wuji's strong body with her fluffy and soft tail and asked:

"Young Master, are you feeling a bit like spring now?"

There is a warm and fragrant feeling in the quilt and no trace of the chill of the beginning of winter.

"Yes." Chu Wuzhi nodded.

"Then come in, I will help you regulate your kidney meridian~"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Wuji immediately dived into the depths of the Peach Blossom Land. The fox tails that were hugging him suddenly softened, and the fur trembled...

*

In the next few days, Chu Wuji maintained a similar pace and rhythm.

During the day, I strolled around the palace and used my connections to find some old sword manuals, which were used before the decline of the Lihuo martial arts world. I studied the mysteries and essence of the manuals and felt the lifelong inheritance of the previous swordsmen.

Chu Wuji did not expect to become a master swordsman in a short period of time, but the "newbie benefit period" should not be underestimated. Learning a little bit of the tricks of using a sword is much better than just swinging it around randomly.

In addition to studying sword manuals, he still practices martial arts on a daily basis, but it is of little significance to Chu Wu Ji's training. The strength training of ordinary martial artists is not even considered a warm-up for Chu Wu Ji.

Only by learning a completely new field of martial arts can Chu Wuji feel a sense of improvement in his strength.

No matter what, his target was Jieshi City. The Lord of Jieshi City, who was also a mortal, was very easy to kill with just one sword. However, Chu Wuji had to consider the potential factor of the dragon.

"It's a pity that no one is willing to fight against me. I really want to know how much pressure the dragon can exert. Can I escape unscathed now?"

"Go find the Sky Fox Queen and ask her to spar with me using the strength of a normal dragon? It seems like she'll easily see through my intentions. That's not feasible..."

What Chu Wuji had to do was to quietly kill the lord of Jieshi City without Tushan Yourong's knowledge, so that she would no longer have anyone to take revenge on.

If she knew about the plan in advance, and she knew clearly that someone was helping her deal with her enemies, the nature of the situation would change.

Of course, these are all Chu Wuzhi's guesses.

Now, the only person who could be considered the little fox's enemy is the city lord. Everything depends on human effort, and Chu Wuji must get rid of him!

"Who can spar with me?"

"By the way, why hasn't Hailan House sent any intelligence yet? Are the whereabouts of the Western Region escorts so mysterious?"

Whenever Chu Wuji thought of the Scorpion Demon, he felt a little itchy, but there was nothing he could do. He could not find any clues about her whereabouts, so Chu Wuji could only worry.

For the time being, he could only comfort himself by saying that "the news was transmitted slowly."

Only a few days had passed since the trip to Wenshui County. It had taken several days for Manager Guan to issue the order to gather intelligence. Even if the intelligence was known at the fastest speed, it would take quite a while for the news to be passed up through the layers and back to the capital.

When you think about it this way, looking for intelligence clues in this era is really like looking for a needle in a haystack!

It's dusk again.

Chu Wuji finished a day of sword practice. He stood in the cold wind of early winter, his body sweating slightly and emitting white mist and hot air.

Princess Jing'an and the little princess sat nearby watching him practice martial arts, and both had to drink hot tea to keep away the cold.

Princess Jing'an turned around to confirm the whereabouts of the servants, but found that several maids were staring at Chu Wuzhi's strong body with their eyes fixed.

The beautiful woman laughed and scolded, "What are you still standing there for? Go prepare some hot water for Wuji to take a bath!"

"Yes, Princess!"

The maids responded, knowing that they had been caught by the princess. Their faces flushed with embarrassment and they hurriedly ran to prepare hot water.

Wen Yaoer has changed into thick clothes these days and wears a hood with cotton flannel edges on her head, like a little rabbit.

She saw Chu Wuji finished his martial arts training, holding a dry towel in one hand and hot tea in the other, and ran over happily, handed it to Chu Wuji, and said crisply:

"Brother, here's some tea... Aren't you cold? Yao'er's ears are getting cold from staying here. If another half month passes, I'm afraid her ears will be so cold they'll hurt!"

Chu Wuji thanked the girl for the hot tea, wiped the sweat off his face, put on his underwear, and said:

"My physique is different. I'm used to it, so I don't feel cold anymore."

When Wen Yaoer heard this, her bright eyes turned smartly and she said cleverly:

"Then Yao'er, why don't you take advantage of the early winter to acclimate yourself? Will it not be so cold in late winter?"

As she spoke, she was about to unbutton her little cotton jacket, but Chu Wuji quickly stopped her.

It's unclear whether this little girl's rash attempt to brave the winter cold will improve her ability to withstand the cold, but I'm afraid she'll be cold in a few days...

Princess Jing'an also walked up quickly, first putting a robe on Chu Wuji, then gently pinched her daughter's face and taught her a lesson:

"Physique is something that is innate. Yao'er, do you know tigers?"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the girl shrank back, hiding in Chu Wuji's arms to avoid the wind. She immediately felt the man's scorching heat, as if she was surrounded by a stove. She then responded to her mother:

"Golden tabby cat, I know~"

"When winter comes, even big bears have to hide and hibernate, but tigers can roll around and play in the snow. That's why there's a saying that tigers have a pure yang constitution."

Wen Yaoer had never seen a tiger in winter, or to be more precise, she had only seen a few tigers. She turned to look at Chu Wuji for confirmation:

"Brother, is that so?"

"That's true." Chu Wuzhi nodded.

Deer are also active in winter. I don’t know if this is the reason, but doctors say that venison, deer antlers, and deer blood are yang-tonifying. If a person takes a sip of deer blood soaked in wine, he may have a nosebleed. However, tigers can catch and eat deer without any problems.

Princess Jing'an said, "Whether you're afraid of the cold or not is a natural condition. Yao'er, even if you follow your brother to learn martial arts, at best it can only strengthen your body and make you less susceptible to catching a cold. You still have to be afraid of the cold~"

The girl's idea of ​​adapting to the winter cold was instantly dispelled. Just now, when she talked about the big tiger, she thought of the little fellow who had been a guest in the mansion for a short time and said:

"Brother, I miss the little white tiger..."

"After a while, I'll go ask for you. If the little white tiger grows up, I should be able to bring him over to meet you."

Chu Wuji guessed that after the last experience of getting lost, Baihu Shanjun would no longer let his cub run around. Before the little white tiger could protect itself, it would most likely be confined to the house.

The little princess who knew how to act like a spoiled child hugged Chu Wuji again and asked:

"Then when will brother move in? That way, it will be convenient for him to train day and night, and Sister Que can also find a sword expert to practice with him!"

It's really not good that we haven't moved here for such a long time. Chu Wuji nodded and said:

"Okay, move in tomorrow, and I'll go back and clean up tonight."

*

Chu Wuji returned to the old house and talked about this matter with Tushan Yourong. In the end, he still decided to take her to live in the palace.

"Goddess Sky Fox, you will remain hidden when the time comes. You don't need to care about the interpersonal interactions in the palace. It will be the same as here. However, Yao'er may come and spend the night with you."

Tushan Yourong lay on her side on the bed, supporting her cheek with one hand. Her delicate and graceful figure made the quilt look undulating, like a series of tall and straight mountains.

She didn't dislike the little girl in her heart. She was like a cat and quite cute. She had a big opinion about Chu Wuji and said quietly:

"Then, young master, don't you have any excuses? For example...it will be inconvenient to regulate your meridians in the palace later. Can you do it again tonight?"

We haven't found the new seasonal spiritual energy yet, so how can we use this excuse?

Chu Wuji glanced at the cold night outside, thought for a moment, and said:

"It's getting cold again these past few days. Could Goddess Sky Fox allow me to experience the warmth of spring again?"

"That's a nice way of saying it. I'll let you in!" The Fox Queen smiled with satisfaction. She was still in a lazy posture with one hand supporting her chin, and with the other hand she lifted one side of the quilt. A rosy and snowy mountain range came into view, and the warmth of spring was blowing in her face.

Chapter 106: Yun Qingying Returns to Beijing

A solar term lasts about half a month, and after the Beginning of Winter comes the Light Snow.

Chu Wuji decided to set his departure time after the first snowfall, so that he would have enough time to practice with his sword and also to gather some spiritual energy to nourish his body.

This time was exactly the end of the one and a half month "probation period" that Tushan Yourong had previously set for him.

From the perspective of preparing for war, Chu Wuji would naturally want to temper himself as long as possible. It would be best to push the deadline to half a year and then attack at the last moment.

But if you set off on such a tight deadline, accidents are likely to happen.

Getting up can be delayed, but since it concerns the continuation of the Sky Fox Goddess, it cannot be delayed!

And in the past few days, Si Que brought him a new piece of information -

The Dragon King sacrificial ceremony is about to begin!

The City Lord's Mansion may be heavily guarded, but on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, the City Lord of Jieshi City must walk out of the City Lord's Mansion and preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

By then, there will be a huge crowd of people, and it will be much easier to take advantage of the situation to assassinate someone, which will be good for Chu Wuji.

"It will snow lightly the day after tomorrow, so I'll have to practice harder in the next two days and rest well before I travel."

*

"It's a volatile weather, be careful with fire!"

Night watchmen beat gongs and drums as they passed through the streets and alleys of the capital, shouting at the top of their lungs to remind people of the time in the dead of night.

Princess Jing'an was wearing a warm cotton smock and holding a cup of hot tea to warm her hands. She walked to the door and hesitated because of the cold wind outside, but finally walked out of the warm room and came to the front yard.

In the open space in the front yard, Chu Wuzhi stood under the cold moonlight of the cold night, practicing his swordsmanship. He stood quietly in meditation, then swung his sword with his internal energy. He controlled the force very well, and only a dry leaf was cut in half, while the ground in the courtyard was not damaged at all.

"Princess, are you awakened by the cold? I'll go add some bedding right away." The maid who was on night watch walked over lightly and asked in a low voice.

The dignified and graceful Princess Jing'an shook her head, hushing to indicate not to disturb Chu Wuji, and then asked:

"Has Wuji never slept yet?"

The maid nodded, unable to hide the surprise on her face, and said:

"Yes, Master Chu is incredibly energetic. Apart from sleeping for one night five days ago, he hasn't slept a wink since then and has been practicing swordsmanship until now!"

Princess Jing'an nodded slightly. She had discovered this a few days ago.

After Chu Wuji moved into Prince Jing'an's Mansion, except for the first two nights when he slept peacefully, he remained in this state.

She went about her daily activities normally, cooking a meal for the mother and daughter, then walking around normally, walking the cat with Yao'er and chatting with her. When Sique came, she would discuss her understanding and insights into knife skills with her. Occasionally, she would put on her conical hat and go shopping with Yao'er.

Once night falls, he basically stays up all night practicing swordplay. When she and Yao'er wake up, he stops practicing martial arts and chats with them.

At that time, Princess Jing'an thought that Chu Wuji had some insights, so she was excited for a few days.

I didn't expect that he rested for one night five days ago and has been working non-stop until today!

Princess Jing'an was worried about his health, so how could he endure this?

She walked into the front hall and whispered, "No illness."

When Chu Wuji heard the voice, he withdrew his attention from the essence of the sword manual and turned to look at Princess Jing'an.

The beautiful woman wore a warm cardigan on the outside and a plain white undershirt on the inside. The edge of her bellyband could be vaguely seen at the high and raised collar of her clothes. With her proud figure, she wore the bellyband as a tube top.

Although her hair is disheveled and she has no makeup on, her appearance remains charming, like a lotus flower blooming out of season on a winter night, pure, beautiful and elegant.

"Princess, why aren't you sleeping? Did I wake you up?" Chu Wuzhi said apologetically.

Princess Jing'an smiled and shook her head slightly to indicate that she was not woken up. However, she said, "If I said I was woken up, would Wuji be willing to go back to his room to rest?"

Chu Wuji knew that the other party was worried about him, and quickly said:

"I'm fine, I'm in great spirits! I've been a bit too enthusiastic about work lately. I just learned the sword technique, so I took advantage of that enthusiasm to work hard on my ironwork, but after a while I became lazy."

"You haven't slept for five days!" The princess said unhappily. She handed the cup of hot tea to Chu Wuji, "Did something happen to you?"

Chu Wuji thought about it and felt that he could indeed give a greeting in advance. He couldn't say it before departure, like last time, the day before departure, which would be a bit too abrupt.

This time it was two days ahead of schedule! Huge progress!

"Princess, I plan to go out for a while after the first snow. I should be back before spring. When I come back, I can bring a message to Yao'er and let her know about the little white tiger's recent situation."

"But this has nothing to do with your sleeplessness... By the way, I heard a piece of news during the day. Wu Ji, didn't you want to find a master to practice with you?"

Chu Wuji had asked casually before, but he didn't expect Princess Jing'an to have taken note of it. She then asked:

"That's the idea."

"The Yun family's daughter is planning to return in the next couple of days. You and Yun Qingying left the capital together, so you should have some connections. Why not ask her to practice with you?"

Yun Qingying is going back to the Yun family?

This was a bit unexpected. Chu Wuji thought that she would definitely ignore her family. But that was also good. It saved Chu Wuji from having to rush to the territory of Shenxiao Sect. He could just find Yun Qingying to "hitch a ride".

Chu Wuji took a sip of hot tea and said, "Okay, I'll visit you then."
