Since Wu Ming appeared, her fate has moved from one unknown to another unknown. The only difference is that the current unknown makes her nervous rather than expectant.
Squeak!
The sound of the door being pushed open woke Tian Nurui up. Wu Ming's footsteps were much clearer than before, as if he was deliberately making up for it because he had scared her before.
Tian Nurui didn't look back until a pair of big hands put their arms around her waist and carried her to the bed.
As expected, those hands were not well behaved, and a fierce thing was always pressed between her buttocks, viciously and with a full sense of oppression.
But fortunately, apart from these actions, Wu Ming kept his promise and did not do anything else.
Except that at the end I couldn't hold back anymore and used her little mouth again.
The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. This time, Tiannurui was indeed much more skilled than the last time.
Slurp…slurp…cough cough…cough…!
Chapter 44: Meeting the Emperor
'The cars are far away and the horses are rushing.
Jun travels east to east and east to east, and An Defen flies to the west wind.
I wish I were like a star and you were like the moon, shining brightly every night. '——Fan Chengda, "Che Yao Yao Pian"
The poem originally described a woman staring at her husband who was leaving, with tears in her eyes and wondering when she would see him again. It expresses a feeling of wanting to be by his side all the time.
At that time and moment, just like at this moment, outside the Beauty Manor, Tian Nurui looked at the carriage going away, her eyes full of... smiles, okay, the emotions might not be right.
But it was only a little bit. Wu Ming's departure did not leave Tian Nurui with only joy. There was another completely opposite emotion hidden beneath the joy, but Tian Nurui just didn't want to think about it.
It started with hatred, but when the hatred wasn't so strong, another emotion emerged, after all, many intimate things had been done.
No matter what happens with Wu Ming in the end, there is no possibility for her and Tang Lian anymore. That line has been crossed halfway, so what difference can it make between a mouth and a mouth?
To put it bluntly, it's just for psychological comfort.
Sitting in the carriage were Wu Ming and four women, Jingwei, Ruyan, Xu Weixiong and Yueji. The driver was replaced by Ming Hou, and Murong Fu was tied to the back of the carriage, hanging with his hair disheveled.
This man seemed to have gone stupid, with cloudy and dull eyes, but Wu Ming knew clearly that everything Murong Fu showed was just an act.
It can be seen that he has not yet despaired.
So what is Murong Fu’s confidence?
Is there anyone in the Murong family who can save him and give him confidence?
After much deliberation, Wu Ming fixed his sights on the ancestor of the Murong family, Murong Longcheng. If one's martial arts could be promoted to the realm of immortal gods on land, he would be able to transcend the mundane world and live for five hundred years without illness or disaster.
If one can enter the realm of heaven and man, he can lick for another three hundred years.
Murong Longcheng is at least a land immortal god. I wonder if he is still alive.
According to time calculations, Northern Yan was destroyed in 436 AD, which means it has only been about years. If Murong Longcheng did not suffer serious damage during this period, it is not impossible for him to be alive.
"Immortal God on land! Go and ask Lord Ming to drive the carriage faster." Wu Ming patted Yue Ji's butt. He was really good at ordering people around.
Yue Ji leaned sideways to convey the order, and then continued to sit next to Wu Ming obediently. The whiteness of her chest trembled as she moved, which greatly relieved the tension that had just risen in Wu Ming's heart.
"Sir, what's the problem?"
"It's just in case. This matter is not simple. I'm afraid someone wants to deal with me. I have to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible. Only then can I feel safe." Wu Ming did not explain much. After all, this was just his guess.
The reason why he felt nervous was not just because of Murong Longcheng. He just thought of another thing.
Although Northern Yan was destroyed, the Xianbei people were not destroyed.
Instead, they integrated into the Han people. The now famous Guanlong Group has the shadow of the Xianbei people, and the current Taiwei Changsun Wuji is a Xianbei.
Not only that, if you have to count it this way, Li Zhi also has Xianbei blood, his mother is Empress Zhangsun. However, Li Zhi and Li Shiming did not admit it either. Both of them considered themselves Han Chinese.
So, is the appearance of Murong Fu and Murong Bo really just a coincidence?
Could it be that Changsun Wuji is also involved here?
After all, it was obvious that Changsun Wuji and Wu Zhao were not on good terms in the court, and Wu Ming had also offended Changsun Wuji over the Zilanxuan incident, in addition to the counterfeit currency case.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Ming found that he seemed to be in danger of being chopped to pieces at any time.
Why not improve your strength while you are still alive? There are four women in the carriage, and three of them have not been eaten yet. If you sleep with them, there is still hope that you can become more powerful.
Wu Ming's eyes became strange. Xu Weixiong turned her body somewhat unnaturally and just looked at the three women other than her. She dispelled the strange thoughts.
This Lord Wu obviously likes older girls, and I'm probably not his type.
To be honest, up to now, Xu Weixiong has a good impression of Wu Ming. At least no matter what he does, he never hides anything and he is not the kind of person who would rush to do something for no reason.
After seven days of traveling day and night and changing horses several times at post stations, he finally returned to Chang'an.
There were a few minor twists and turns in the middle, but they only added a few wandering ghosts to the world, which was not a big deal.
After making some arrangements for the remaining few people, Wu Ming took Xu Weixiong directly into the palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I have fulfilled my mission and have brought the second princess of Beiliang back to Chang'an." Beside the Taiye Lake, Li Zhi curled up in a recliner and met Wu Ming and Xu Weixiong.
"No need for the formalities. Lord Wu is truly a pillar of the country. He has just made contributions and has made new contributions this time. He should be rewarded well."
Li Zhi said a few polite words and then asked about the journey.
Wu Ming answered truthfully, of course, but he described the process as extremely dangerous. He emphasized the treason of Murong and his son, and how they dared to assassinate the rebels under the great power of the emperor.
"Murong?"
"Your Majesty, I have learned that the Murong family is a descendant of the Northern Yan royal family and has always had the ambition to restore the country. Murong Fu is even more famous for restoration. The reason why he assassinated the second princess this time is probably to provoke a dispute and make a profit from it."
"Northern Yan? Xianbei people?" Li Zhi frowned, his eyes grim, as if he had thought of something bad. It took a long time before his expression warmed up.
"Where did you learn this, my dear?"
"I got this from Murong Fu through torture. Unfortunately, Murong Bo died too quickly and I was unable to obtain more information. I am guilty."
"What crime has your beloved Lord Wu committed? Who could hold back at that time? The only problem is that Murong Bo is too weak to fight." Wu Ming's words made Li Zhi laugh.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xu Weixiong looked at Wu Ming and had a new understanding of him. This man was very dishonest, but also very smart.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. As for things like merits, it is enough for the emperor to know them clearly, and it is indeed not appropriate for you to publicize them.
"Okay, I already know about this matter. If there is nothing else, you can go down first!"
"I have something else to report!"
"Anything else?" Li Zhi looked at Wu Ming curiously.
"I am fortunate to have mastered the Four-light Divine Art, which gave me my current abilities. However, I have always been troubled by the fact that the Four-light Divine Art can only be practiced by a boy. Some time ago, I found a solution, and I will be able to leave a descendant for the Wu family in the future. However, as a man, I am no longer suitable to walk around the palace at will, so I hereby make this clear to Your Majesty."
"Is there such a thing?"
"really."
"This is a good thing. It is said that there are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants. I am happy that Lord Wu has been able to find a solution."
"As for walking around the palace, it's a small matter. Just remember not to enter the harem without permission. I believe the queen will not make a mistake. Besides, you are the chief of the inner guards. What's the point of calling you the inner guards if you are not allowed to enter the palace?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Ming bowed and then left with peace of mind. Anyway, this matter would reach the emperor's ears sooner or later, so it would be better to tell him in advance to avoid being hurt by the thunder in the future.
Our Master Wu has always been cautious.

Chapter 45: Gift
"Queen, come quickly. This is the beloved daughter of the King of Beiliang, Xu Weixiong. I remember this is the first time you two have met."
"It's your first time, what a beautiful girl." Wu Zhao walked over with a smile, got closer to look at her, with admiration in her eyes.
Xu Weixiong also changed his previous indifference. A sweet smile appeared on his face, and he called her "Your Majesty" and "Her Majesty" in a very affectionate manner.
After a long exchange of greetings, Xu Weixiong finally said goodbye and left.
If Wu Ming were still here, he would probably complain that everyone, whether human or ghost, is showing off.
"Mei Niang, you have recruited a talent for me. As a fellow Grandmaster, Wu Ming was able to kill Murong Bo in just two moves."
"Who is Murong Bo?"
"Oh, this Murong Bo is......."
"Then this Wu Ming is really amazing. I was right about him."
"Not only was I right, I really found a treasure this time. Wu Ming actually has the ability to solve the problem of the Four Lights Divine Art not being able to injure one's virginity. He is truly a martial arts genius."
"How did your majesty know this? If this is true, then he can't be allowed to run around in the harem. He needs to be assigned a new job."
"That's not necessary. As long as he doesn't easily set foot in the harem, it's still possible for him to walk around the palace. And he took the initiative to confess to me this time, which shows that his character is trustworthy."
Li Zhi's original suspicions were completely dispelled when he saw Wu Zetian's reaction. In fact, there had been some rumors in the palace for a long time, and although Li Zhi did not take it too seriously, he could not help but have doubts in his heart.
It's not that he really thought Wu Ming and Wu Zhao had an affair. Li Zhi still trusted Wu Zhao very much. It's just that a woman is a man's face, not to mention that Li Zhi was the emperor with great power. This was a major event concerning the state.
"Since Your Majesty thinks it's okay, then I'll follow Your Majesty's arrangements." Wu Zhao didn't say anything more. This sentence once again made Li Zhi feel at ease. Emperors all like the feeling of having a single word to make decisions. With Wu Zhao, Li Zhi felt like an emperor.
After Wu Zetian left, Li Zhi directly ordered the beheading of all those who talked nonsense in the palace, which was an indirect expression of his attitude.
All in all, Wu Ming's accidental success this time actually helped him solve a pretty big problem.
After coming out of the palace, Wu Ming went straight back to the mansion. Murong Fu had been imprisoned in the exclusive dungeon of the inner guards. This place was inside the palace. Not to mention the immortals on earth, even those in the heavenly realm did not dare to barge in.
There is a concept of national destiny in this world. The Tang Dynasty is currently enjoying its prime. No matter how strong you are, your strength will be suppressed in this important palace.
"Yan'er, long time no see, did you miss your uncle?"
Wu Ming took Xiao Yan'er from Jingwei's hands, put the little girl on his shoulder, and coaxed the little girl to giggle.
Jingwei looked at the two people, one big and one small, playing in front of him, and gentle ripples appeared in his eyes.
"Where's Tsukihime?"
"Yue Ji is in the backyard and has been assigned a room. As for Ming Hou, he is staying in the guest room. This is quite proper."
"Okay, I see."
"Nothing has happened in the palace recently, right? What about Chang'an City? Is there anything exciting to see?"
