Both worlds are like dreams
Chapter 130 The fish takes the bait
Xue Huang sighed, "I'm not questioning you as a princess, but as her niece, I think she doesn't deserve it."
Gu Qinglan helped Lu Wenxuan up, "General Lu, if you have any difficulties, you might as well tell us, and we may be able to help you."
"I am a soldier, I defend my country, fighting on the battlefield is my destiny in this life, love between men and women is deep..."
Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, "General Lu, I just want to ask you one question, do you have no affection for my aunt in your heart?"
Lu Wenxuan was silent for a moment and nodded.
Xue Huang clenched her fists. If she could, she really wanted to beat him up, but she rolled her eyes and smiled faintly for a moment. "I thought that this time when I came to Muhua City, I would see the day when you become my uncle, but now that you said so, I can't force you to like my aunt, right?"
Lu Wenxuan didn't say anything.
"A friend told me that the best way to forget a relationship is to start a new one. It's rare that my aunt has made up her mind to break up with you this time, so I'll help you." Xue Huang pulled Gu Qinglan over, "Brother Qinglan, who was the person you told me last time who had admired my aunt for a long time? Let's go and give them a clue."
Gu Qinglan reacted immediately, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, so he said casually: "It's Brother Xiao."
Xue Huang really didn't expect that. She originally wanted to find someone to provoke Lu Wenxuan, but she didn't expect Gu Qinglan to bring up Xu Yao. If that guy knew, would he pick up a sword and chop them?
"My cousin is indeed unmarried. I didn't expect that he would set his sights on my aunt. However, they are a good match. Why not arrange for them to meet?"
"Very good." Gu Qinglan said.
"Doesn't Master Zixiu also care about my aunt?" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, "Now he can take advantage of the situation."
Gu Qinglan smiled and said, "Young Master Zixiu is highly skilled in martial arts and calligraphy and painting. He is a perfect match for Senior Huayu."
"Why not wait until the plague is over and hold a martial arts competition to find a husband? With your aunt's talent and looks, you will definitely meet a better person."
Lu Wenxuan said, “Princess, this is about Madam Hua’s lifelong affairs, so it’s better to be cautious.”
"Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can. My aunt has already wasted nine years of her life. How many nine years does she have left?" Xue Huang said with a smile.
Lu Wenxuan was speechless for a moment and hesitated without saying anything.
Xue Huang looked at him and felt proud: I told you not to cherish. Let's see how long you can keep pretending.
“Brother Qinglan, let’s go to my cousin first.”
Gu Qinglan nodded, and the two of them walked out of the tent.
At this time, Wei Yunzhou just walked in.
"Second Uncle?" Xue Huang was a little surprised, but seeing that he looked serious, she also became serious, "What happened?"
Wei Yunzhou handed them the letter from Mo Ruilin. As for the second letter, they couldn't leave here for the time being, so he didn't tell them.
Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan read the letter in full and then handed it to Lu Wenxuan.
Lu Wenxuan looked solemn, "I will send a message to the scouts to strengthen the exploration of the front line. If Tianqi makes any unusual movements, we will know it immediately."
"The most important thing now is the supply reserves of Muhua City," Gu Qinglan said with a worried look on his face, "This plague has almost exhausted the food reserves of Muhua City. If Tianqi sends troops to attack, we won't be able to hold out for a few days."
"Jiuxiao City will definitely not give us another chance to get food and grass," Xue Huang said, "Let's send a message to Qingzhou and ask them to mobilize food and grass to support us."
Lu Wenxuan nodded, "I will send someone to deliver the message right away."
Gu Qinglan continued, "The plague mentioned in your letter may be related to Tianqi. If you want to confirm its truth as soon as possible, you may be able to get information from the hidden Tianqi spies."
Xue Huang looked at Wei Yunzhou, "Second Uncle, the stage has been set up."
"It will take another opportunity." Wei Yunzhou said.
"The opening of the city gates in three days will be a good opportunity," Xue Huang said. "Let's wait for the fish to take the bait."
……
Hua Yu was sad, but she still cooperated seriously. She was indeed sad. Thinking of Lu Wenxuan's heartless look, she didn't even need to act deliberately, and it made people feel that Lu Wenxuan seemed to be in trouble.
So the next day, Zhuo Yang sent back a message that a painter in Shui Mo Zhai was behaving strangely. He became a little anxious, and after the city gates were unsealed, the brothels, casinos, bookstores, and wine shops that had been closed in the city gradually began to open, and the painter began to move to these places.
Now that the plague has finally ended, people are feeling very uncomfortable being stuck at home. Once these places are opened, they suddenly become messy.
Zhuo Yang sent back the message again that this person was walking around the city and contacting people. Fortunately, the people under Shanhe Gate and Xu Yao were very reliable and they locked onto those people in no time.
But Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao himself were nowhere to be seen.
At dawn that day, the painter was arrested at the North Gate, and the people who contacted him were also identified and all of them were taken under control.
At the same time, a carriage slowly drove out from the south gate.
On top of the city gate, Wei Yunzhou watched coldly as the carriage drove into the forest, his deep eyes as sharp as a hawk.
Twenty miles outside Muhua City, there is a steep mountain called Bugui. It is said that the road in this mountain is extremely difficult to walk on. Anyone who has entered the mountain has never been able to come back, so the mountain is named Bugui.
Ordinary people rarely come near here, but today is different. On this winding mountain road, a team of soldiers is stationed and ready for battle.
Dark clouds covered the sky and a light breeze brought a drizzle of rain. It seemed as if something big was about to happen.
A carriage drove out from the corner, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.
Behind the carriage, a group of men in black also caught up, led by Wei Yunzhou.
Lu Wenxuan rode his horse and walked behind the soldiers, followed by Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan.
"Uncle, you came at the perfect time." Xue Huang said with a smile. "Let me guess who is in the carriage."
A sigh came from the carriage, "I had guessed that the road out of the city would not be so smooth, but I didn't expect to fall into your trap."
"It is indeed a smart idea to use other people to distract our attention and take the opportunity to leave the city." Lu Wenxuan said.
"I may be one step behind, but I may not lose everything."
"You have no way to retreat," Lu Wenxuan pointed his spear at the carriage, "surrender."
"General Lu, it's a good strategy. You deserve to have repelled my Apocalypse army many times. But this time, you have to consider it carefully." As the words fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a figure in black appeared.
Xue Huang and the others looked chilled. The person in the carriage was Zi Xiu, but next to him was the unconscious Hua Yu.
