Chapter 2062: Extra Story 44

Under the dim light, a few people exchanged information from various sides, but Wufu didn’t detail everything to Master Gui. In her heart, she didn’t want to impose too heavy a psychological burden on him.

"...Emperor Jiaping doesn’t send troops here, Shu region isn’t a threat, so after capturing this place, what’s the next step?" Master Gui looked at the two and asked.

Ah Jiu looked at him, "Did you really eliminate all of Prince Wei’s offspring?"

Master Gui glanced at Wufu, avoided her eyes, and nodded, "With the power of the Qingwen Wind Pavilion."

"You don’t have to do this, I trust you," Wufu said.

Master Gui didn’t look at her and only said, "I know. Just see it as a way for me to vent."

Wufu was speechless.

"If so, the south should be unstable." Ah Jiu gently tapped the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "Prince Wei occupying that land and setting himself up as emperor is illegitimate. If we first conquer his area, it’s more justified than directly taking Changan. Absorb the Northwestern Army, integrate them into our forces, then advance northwards, and the capital won’t be a problem."

"So, should we attack Prince Wei first?" Master Gui asked.

Ah Jiu nodded, "Yes, if we smoothly take the south, then only the capital remains."

"Count me in." Master Gui looked at him.

Ah Jiu opened his mouth, looked at Wufu, and saw that she was resting her head on her hand, having fallen asleep at some point, and couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

Master Gui also noticed, and his brows furrowed.

"We’ll discuss this later." Ah Jiu stood up and picked up Wufu.

Even with such a big movement, she didn’t wake up, only let out a soft hum. Perhaps feeling she was in a safe embrace, she subconsciously snuggled a bit closer.

This small gesture softened Ah Jiu’s heart completely, while Master Gui’s eyes dimmed a bit.

After placing Wufu on the bed, Ah Jiu gently pulled up the covers for her, sat by the bedside looking at her for a long time, and didn’t leave until Yuan Ye came to report from outside.

It was Lady Liang who had prepared the meal and asked him to wash up and eat.

"What did the doctor say?" Master Gui asked Ah Jiu while holding a bowl and chopsticks.

Ah Jiu shook his head, "I haven’t seen a doctor yet. I plan to take them back to Lan City tomorrow and have Xiao Bai do a comprehensive check-up."

"I notice her complexion isn’t good. You should pay attention." Master Gui said worriedly.

Although Wufu could talk and stand, her condition gave him a very bad feeling. Not to mention her frail body, he’d never seen her this weak in spirit during all the time he’s known her.

Listening to Master Gui’s words, Ah Jiu’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly losing his appetite, and he said, "I know."

"I mean nothing else, just that she doesn’t seem right," Master Gui explained, fearing he was misunderstood.

Ah Jiu looked at him and said, "I understand your concern. In this matter, she’s probably deeply hurt, and my worries are no less than yours."

"After all..."

"They say she gave birth alone in an Ancient Tomb." Pain flickered in Ah Jiu’s eyes, "Xiao Qi only found her later, and after a few days in the mountains, they arrived in this village."

Master Gui’s face changed dramatically, and the bowl in his hand was knocked to the ground. It was really that dangerous?

"She doesn’t want you to feel guilty, just pretend you don’t know." Ah Jiu somewhat understood Wufu’s thoughts and reminded him.

Master Gui clenched his fists and said, "If any medicine is needed, just send a message."

"Okay."

The two spoke no more, silently eating, but the food tasted like wax in their mouths, difficult to swallow.
