DWGL _ Chapter - 18

Fei Mian (Emerald) Kingdom, hurry up and go to the private meeting

Although Duan Bai Yue has been retreating to the tomb to heal his injuries, Duan Yao and Zhao Wu are there, and Xinan Mansion is as organized as usual-or Duan Yao is responsible for spreading insects all over the sky, and Zhao Wu follows behind to clean up the mess for him. As for the rest of Southwest's affairs, several confidant officials handled them on their behalf, and everything was undisturbed.

On this day, Nan Mo Xie returned to the mansion to eat meat. Before he had enough time for a stick of incense, he accidentally stepped on Duan Yao's red snake worm. After being shocked and regretful, Master decisively patted his ass back to the mountain and threw the mess at the rest of the people.

Zhao Wu: “......”

Hua Tang asked, "Why don't I go to the woods to find another one? It hasn't been frozen and frosted yet, there should be more.”

“I'll go." Zhao Wu had a headache, picked up the saber and said, "If that kid comes back and cries, only you and Aunt Jin can coax him."

Hua Tang exhorted: "If you can find the insect nest, remember to pick a bigger one, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to coax him.”

The dense forest is far from Xinan Mansion, but red snakes and insects have always liked to roam at night for food, so the time is just right. Zhao Wu held an oil lamp and hung it on the tree, so he found a branch and planned to lie down and stare. After about half an hour, the insect didn't wait, but there was a faint cry for help and a tiger roar in the distance.

Zhao Wu turned over and got out of the tree and chased after him.

In the woodland, a woman was covered in blood, holding a child in her arms, holding a saber in her right hand, and facing a huge tiger in front of her. The little baby seemed to be shocked, and the cry of wow stimulated the tiger even more, and he was about to pounce with a long howl.

The woman closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she stabbed her sword with all her might, but she has pulled away and fell into the grass.

Zhao Wu sheathed his sword and knocked the tiger out with a slap, then went forward to help the mother and son.

"Thank you, brother." The woman was so pale that she couldn't even stand up.

Seeing that she was seriously injured, Zhao Wu didn't have time to ask more questions, so he went back to the mansion behind his back.

“He’s back, he’s back!" Aunt Jin was standing in front of the door looking forward, and after seeing it from a distance, she hurriedly said happily, “The second young master is back!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, a group of people rushed out of the room, including Duan Yao who was in tears, Hua Tang who was with him all the time, Nan Mo Xie who came back to coax his disciple because he was weak, Duan Bai Yue who was suffering from a headache, and a group of maids and mothers who treated Duan Yao like a treasure.

“Where's the red snake worm?" Aunt Jin asked when she spoke.

The rest of the group was silent. At this point, shouldn't they first find out who this woman was that they had carried back for no reason?

"Who is she?" Duan Yao asked, hiccupping in the process.

"I rescued her from the forest. A tiger came down from the mountain somehow and almost ate her and her son, but I knocked it out." Zhao Wu said, "Send someone to drag it back to the mountain, so it doesn't get into the town and hurt people."

"It's nothing serious, just a few superficial wounds from the shock." Hua Tang checked the woman's pulse, "Take her to the guest room first, I'll treat her injuries."

Aunt Jin also hugged the little doll to coax him, and the rest of the people went to help. After this happened, Duan Yao didn't have the mind to ask for the red snake worm anymore, so he squatted in the yard and dug a hole, ready to bury his beloved worm. Nan Mo Xie squatted beside him, his eyes erratic, and he arched him with his arms from time to time. He was anxious and angry, and he was really angry, so he didn't say a word to Master.

"I brought the others back, is it alright?" Zhao Wu asked.

Duan Bai Yue wondered, "This is your home, what's the point of bringing someone back, you can even tear down the house."

Zhao Wu also found his worry a bit amusing, so he scratched his head, "Then you can rest, I'll go back first."

"Xiao Yu." Duan Bai Yue called out to him from behind, "I'll give you a marriage next month, how about that?"

Caught off guard, Zhao Wu made a big red face.

"You're so honest, it's a shame that other girls don't mind." Duan Bai Yue smiled and shook his head, "If there are no comments, the matter is settled."

Inside the guest room, Hua Tang finished treating the woman's wounds and placed the child, who had already eaten his fill of rice paste, next to her before gently leaving the door.

Zhao Wu was waiting for her in the courtyard: "How did it go?"

"It's just a trauma, too much blood has been shed and that's why she's dizzy, she'll be fine in a few months." Hua Tang said, "I asked her, but she only said that she had wandered here from the island and her husband had died, so she was going to join her relatives in Jindi."

"Yes." Zhao Wu nodded, "When the wound is healed, see if there are any dartboard caravans going to Jindi, so we can bring her along."

Hua Tang moved her muscles and then looked at him suspiciously, "What are you blushing about?"

Zhao Wu: "......"

Duan Yao and Nan Mo Xie sat on the roof, holding their cheeks and sighing deeply.

The other one was a disgrace compared to the other one, even though he was so simple and could get a beautiful wife.

Getting married is naturally a big deal, and for a while, the Mansion will be as lively as it is. After the woman healed from her injuries, she would also come to help. The aunts and grandmothers in the mansion pitied her for what happened to her, and they all persuaded her that it was better to stay, but the woman insisted on leaving, and she was also stubborn.

On the day of the wedding, there were red lanterns everywhere in Xinan Mansion, and Nan Moxie sat in the Taishi chair with a smile on his face waiting for tea-although he hadn't taught Zhao Wu Kung Fu, he was of good or bad seniority, so he naturally took advantage of it.

“Big brother." At the table, Zhao Wu said, "Thank you."

Duan Bai Yue smiled and patted him, "Once you are married, you should live a good life. Father and Aunt will be very happy when they find out." After all, it was not easy to have such a good son who was honest and simple, and who had been a good boy once he reached the age of marriage.

Not long after the marriage of Zhao Wu, the tribes of the desert north led their armies southwards and the war in the northwest began. The war in the northwest began in earnest. Emperor Chu was on the march, and many Jianghu sects joined forces to fight the enemy. As for the war in the southwest, it quietly subsided.

The people in the south were shocked that after months of bluffing and bluster, the war had been put out without a single minister being sent by Emperor Chu. After all, no one likes to have a war on their doorstep, it is more important to live in peace.

Since Qin Shao Yu is in the northwest, Zhao Wu naturally wants to help. Inside the tomb, Nan Mo Xie said, "It's obviously to help Shadow Chasing Palace, but in reality, it's to help your beloved. Sending a younger brother there will not be a disadvantage to you, and you can even take advantage of it in the future."

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

However, that afternoon, Aunt Jin was overjoyed and ordered the cooks in the house to make soup and boil medicine.

The reason is that Hua Tang is pregnant.

"Got it." After hearing this, Nan Mo Xie sighed again, "At this speed, I'm afraid you can't even catch up with ten more Huo Yun Shi (Duan Bai Yue’s horse)."

Duan Bai Yue sat in the ice room, thinking that he might go crazy again.

Why is it that other masters are so afraid of their pupils being disturbed in their exercise, but I am the one who has to deal with such a nag?

The war in the northwest was a turbulent one, and Chu Yuan had to learn a lot for his first expedition, but fortunately, most of the people around him were able to help out, so he had a chance to catch his breath.

The weather was fine in the afternoon of this day. In the camp of the Chu army, a woman in red was drying herbs. She was dressed hot and enchanting. She was obviously not from the Central Plains. She came with the tribesmen to treat the wounded soldiers of the vanguard.

"Miss Zhusha." Chu Yuan walked forward.

"Your Majesty." The woman turned around at his words.

"Do you have time?" Chu Yuan said, "I have something I would like to ask you for advice."

"Naturally." Zhu Sha washed her hands clean and let him into her tent, "What does Your Majesty want to know?"

"As you are a wandering physician of the desert and are skilled in the art of witchcraft, I wonder if you have heard of the Golden Silkworm Thread?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Yes." Zhu Sha nodded, "I have heard of it, but I am not familiar with it, nor have I seen it before."

"That's fine." Chu Yuan said, "Just tell us what you know."

“Golden silkworm thread is a Miaojiang poison, extremely cunning, once it penetrates into the bloodline, it is difficult to remove it." Zhu Sha said, “Once a year, when it wakes up, it will continue to sleep after drinking enough blood, and once it wakes up, the person in the Gu will be like ten thousand ants devouring the heart, and life is better than death."

Thinking of Duan Bai Yue's pale face that day, Chu Yuan couldn't help but clenched his right hand.

“The growth rate of golden silkworm thread is extremely slow. The first ten years may be nothing, but if you ignore it and let the worm grow up in your body, I'm afraid no one can survive twenty years." Zhu Sha said, “Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of asking this?"

"Is there a medicine that can cure it?" Chu Yuan's voice was a little hoarse.

"It is said that there is, Tianchen Sand." Zhu Sha said, "But I have never even seen the Golden Silkworm thread, and the Tianchen Sand is a medicine only found in legends, so I don't know where it is. If Your Majesty wants to know more, Lord Ye may be able to help, but if even he doesn't know, we'll have to go to Xinan Wang's Mansion and ask, after all, it's something that only exists in the south."

"What if even Xinan Wang's Mansion can't help?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.

"Then the only way is to look further south." Zhu Sha said, "I once heard from an old man in my clan that south of Chu there is the Fei Main Kingdom, also known as the Witch Kingdom, which specializes in this kind of poison, so it should help."

Fei Main. Chu Yuan nodded his head: "Thank you, Miss."

When he returned to his tent, it happened that Si Xi was arranging his desk, so Chu Yuan asked him.

"Fei Main?" Eunuch Si Xi shook his head, "It is said to be very mysterious, the whole country lives in the woods and swamps, and no one has seen it."

"Where can there be such a country?" Chu Yuan laughed, "If the people were really allowed to live in the swamp, the country would die in three days."

Eunuch Si Xi said, "Why is Your Majesty suddenly asking about this?"

"Nothing." Chu Yuan asked, "Is there any more wine?"

Eunuch Si Xi hurriedly went down to fetch it.

As an emperor, Chu Yuan's days were really frugal, and he didn't bring any superfluous things when he marched and fought. If it weren't for the special, he only brought three altars of Feixia.

The wine is very sweet, and he can sleep peacefully after drinking it.

In Xinan Mansion, Duan Bai Yue also leaned in front of the window, looking up and drinking from the cup of Xueyou.

In the next few months, reports of war continued to be sent to the Mansion.

The Chu army was overwhelming all the way, first attacking the Kama River and then breaking through Yunhan Prefecture. A fire broke out in the rebel camp. The explosion of gunpowder almost shattered the sky that night. Emperor Chu took advantage of the victory to pursue him. The opponent fled in all directions and knelt down one after another.

The ten years of chaos in the Northwest that had been continuous since the first Emperor of Chu finally achieved a great victory, and the Mobei tribe was completely expelled. On the winding borderline, it is an iron border defense made of flesh and blood by tens of millions of great Chu men.

The Chu army returned with a mighty victory, and the Southwest Army also secretly turned back in batches. The people are saying that the emperor can't take it seriously today, and the first battle was fought so beautifully.

Hua Tang successfully gave birth to a pair of twins, and chubby, Duan Yao followed with a smile every day. Aunt Jin was frightened when she saw it, for fear that he would send a worm to his nephew on a whim.

Duan Bai Yue's internal injuries gradually healed. Although the golden silkworm thread was still unable to be eradicated, it was temporarily dormant, and it would no longer have an impact for at least the rest of the year.

On this day, another secret report came from the palace, saying that Emperor Chu had sent envoys to the Fei Main Kingdom.

……

"Fei Mian Kingdom?" Duan Bai Yue was puzzled, "What's the point of going there?"

"What else is there to say?" Nan Mo Xie slanted his eyes.

"Master knows?" Duan Bai Yue still did not understand.

Nan Mo Xie reminded him, "I heard that the lord of the Fei Main Kingdom is very tall and handsome."

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

Nan Mo Xie sighed, "Looks like Pan An."

Duan Bai Yue said, "Master has been reading a lot these days." And to know Pan An.

"Can't you do anything about it?" Nan Mo Xie asked again.

Duan Bai Yue put down the letter in his hand, "Like what?"

"At least put on new clothes and find a painter to send a portrait of you to Wang Cheng." Nan Mo Xie said, "The painting will look better, but then it doesn't look like you. After all, since you haven't seen each other for so long, Emperor Chu should have forgotten what you look like."

Duan Bai Yue's face was expressionless as he called for Duan Nian and dragged him straight out.

Nan Mo Xie sighed again and again. He didn't know whether he would have his next cup of tea before he died.

After the two babies had grown strong, Zhao Wu came to Duan Bai Yue to say goodbye.

Duan Bai Yue sighed, "I guess I can't keep you after all."

"My heart is not here, so I am not happy to stay here." Zhao Wu said, "But Shadow Chasing Palace is not that far away from Xinan Mansion, so if there is time in the future, Hua Tang and I will often return with our sons."

"During these days when I am in seclusion, it is hard for you and your wife to take care of Yaoer." Duan Bai Yue patted him, "That's fine, take care on your journey."

"And Tianchen Sand." Zhao Wu said, "I will also help you find it."

Duan Bai Yue smiled, "Thank you."

Hearing that Zhao Wu wanted to leave, Duan Yao was reluctant to do so, so he went to the back of the mountain to dig up a jar of worms and gave it to Hua Tang.

......

Aunt Jin began to complain about Nan Mo Xie again, because Master Nan taught indiscriminately when he was a child, to see what kind of broken habits these were.

A month later, the spy of Xinan Mansion reported back, saying that Emperor Chu had gone to Dayan City on a tour.

"Why don't you go now?" Nan Mo Xie leaned against the door and urged, "I'll keep an eye on Yaoer for you so that he doesn't cause any trouble."

Huo Yun Shi has excellent footing, and it only took five days to reach the city gates after a journey that would normally take ten days on horseback.

This time, Chu Yuan was not travelling south in unofficial clothes, so he was accompanied by a large number of people, so naturally, he did not stay in an inn, but in a courier station.

On the night of the spring rain, Chu Yuan was leaning against the table, flipping through a book, when a sound came from the window grates.

When the imperial guard heard the commotion, he rushed to the house, but before he could enter, Eunuch Si Xi sent him back with his hand in his pocket, saying that he should not disturb them again.

　......

Chu Yuan was still reading the folders, not even raising his head: "Does Xinan King really like to go through windows so much?"

Duan Bai Yue leaned against the window, looking at his figure and smiling.
