"No need, let's stop here today."
"It's a pity that Wang Yuyan ran away. If she were here, in addition to reading the secret manual, she could also give me some insights on martial arts. I think it would be much better than your dry reading."
"Sir, Miss Yuyan is deeply in love with Murong Fu, almost to the point of obsession. Even if she were really here, she would not really help you." Ah Zhu and Ah Bi looked at each other. They were now very loyal to Wu Ming and considered him in everything.
"It's a small matter. Didn't Madam always use her cleverness before? Look how well behaved you are now." Wu Ming waved at Madam Wang and watched her crawling over like a puppy and putting her head on his hand.
"You're so good, A-Bi. Please make some arrangements to raise Madam Wang's salary. She's been so obedient, so she should be rewarded."
Speaking of Madam Wang, she is also a beauty of peerless beauty. Her common name is Li Qingluo. She has a graceful figure with a slim waist and a perky butt. The two jade peaks on her chest are bulging, and the grape-like peaks are slightly pointing upwards. The curves are round, mature and charming.
Moreover, this woman has a strange personality, with a bit of masochistic attributes. I don't know if Wang Yuyan is the same, but seeing her persistent love for Murong Fu, I think it is the same. Add Li Qiu Shui, if these three generations of grandparents and grandchildren all have this attribute, it will be really worth looking forward to.
Wu Ming pinched Li Qingluo's pretty face, thinking about good things in his mind, and felt happy.
Li Qingluo's face turned red after being pinched by Wu Ming, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. The slight pain made her feel happy.
What a weird and magical woman.

Chapter 82: New Year's Eve
The lotus leaks all over in a year.
The green well is filled with sweet and cold wine.
The New Year in Wu Mansion is not that lively, but fortunately Wu Ming likes it. The New Year always has a different meaning for people in later generations.
So after much thought, he came up with a new Spring Festival Gala.
In order to be fair, he also specially prepared a program himself, playing the piano and singing a song called "Swordsman".
It is worth mentioning that on such a great day, Wu Zetian actually disguised herself and sneaked out of the palace to accompany him to celebrate the New Year.
Accompanying Wu Zhao was Gongsun Lan. The two of them performed Gongsun Sword Dance and Tianmo Dance respectively, which brought the atmosphere of the New Year to a climax.
Speaking of the excitement of the show, only Nong Yu's piano playing could compete with the other two. Although Wu Ming also learned to play the piano and the flute, his level was far inferior to the other three. Fortunately, his lyrics and music were quite thoughtful, so he had a slight advantage in this regard.
Then Jingwei danced with a sword and Zinu performed. Wu Ming looked at the girls in the room and realized that he had attracted many women in just half a year. It was all because of this damn system that made him, a pure man...
Just as Wu Ming was complaining in his heart, Ah Zhu came over and handed him the barbecue she had prepared. Snowy days are perfect for eating barbecue, and it is even more atmospheric to eat while watching a show.
Wu Ming had nothing to do, so he prepared a barbecue stove and prepared to make some barbecue to reward the girls after everyone had the New Year's Eve dinner. Unfortunately, he forgot that he was not a good cook before. Although he had a natural talent, he was still not good enough to learn and put it into practice.
The reward meal ended up being a buffet, and he was served by everyone.
Although it was said that there were many people, in fact, in the end, only Azhu and Abi were left working. No matter how clever and skillful the others were, and how much they learned, the things they made were always less tasty than those of these two. Although they could not be considered the best, they were much better than the others.
It makes sense. Wu Zhao had the world in her heart and would not come into contact with the daily necessities of life. Even though she was a beautiful woman, her cooking skills were only mediocre, and eating enough was already her limit.
Wu Ming took the skewer and took a bite, then he hugged Ah Zhu in his arms as a reward and handed the half-eaten skewer to Ah Zhu's mouth.
Being suddenly hugged by Wu Ming in front of everyone, Ah Zhu was naturally shy, but this shyness came and went quickly.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." The more Wu Ming plays in Wu Mansion, the stronger Ah Zhu's ability to adapt will be.
At this time, Ah Zhu took a bite of the barbecue obediently. Even though she was pushed against her, she pretended not to know. However, she underestimated Wu Xiaodi's ability. Before she finished the barbecue in her mouth, she began to pant and felt hot inside.
The next moment, the barbecue in her hand fell to the ground. She hooked her hand around Wu Ming's neck, her eyes almost dripping with tears. Her thin beautiful back was rubbing against Wu Ming's arms subconsciously. Her hips twisted when her back moved, and her whole person became unusually restless.
Wu Ming had a sly smile on his face, but was suddenly grabbed by the ear by the disguised Wu Zhao. Even with his physique, he still felt pain from being pulled by Wu Zhao.
When this woman gets jealous, she can explode with great force. Ah Zhu took the opportunity to run away from Wu Minghuai, and was then pulled aside by Ah Bi with a teasing expression.
Ah Zhu's face was red, with barely visible sweat on the tip of her nose. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ah Bi, let alone get angry with Wu Zhao. Although no one knew Wu Zhao's identity, even after she changed her appearance, the aura she exuded was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
Moreover, Wu Ming's attitude towards her was obviously different from that of others.
"You're so good! I'm still here, and you dare to do whatever you want... well..." Wu Zhaofeng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her tone was slightly angry, but before she could continue to blame, Wu Ming held her in his arms and kissed her fiercely.
"If you don't let me mess around with others, then I'll mess around with you. Tonight is New Year's Eve, the first New Year since I have a family in this world. As the mistress, you have to serve me well."
After a long and passionate kiss, Wu Ming picked up Wu Zhao and walked out of the room without looking back. It was obvious that this guy was going to do something bad.
Gongsun Lan opened her mouth. Others didn't know Wu Zhao's identity, but she knew it. Although she knew that their relationship must be unusual, she didn't expect that Wu Ming would have the upper hand in this relationship.
Is this still the queen who is decisive and awe-inspiring?
Wu Zhao wanted to struggle, but Wu Ming's word "mistress" made her lose her composure. Then Wu Ming slapped her on the buttocks several times, which made her body go limp.
Wu Zhao was tall. It was rare for an ordinary woman to be 1.65 meters tall, but she was about 1.78 meters tall. Her waist was very thin, but very strong, and as resilient as a slender willow. Her whole body was full and plump like a mature woman, and her two goddess peaks were extremely beautiful and erect.
Of course, what Wu Ming was most attracted by was the natural fairy cave, which was of unparalleled beauty. When the two returned to the bedroom, Wu Ming did not wait for a move and pushed the aroused Wu Zhao onto the bed, then pressed his whole body against her.
At the same time, the makeup on her face was removed, and her delicate body was soft, like a demon snake, with a faint fragrance all over her body, which was intoxicating and intoxicating.
Wu Zhao moved her cherry lips closer and kissed Wu Ming hard on his lips. After a passionate kiss, she moved down along his neck.
"Husband, are you comfortable?"
Wu Zhao's voice was like the devilish sound from hell that led people to perdition. Just one voice made Wu Ming suddenly feel numb. His eyes widened and his breathing became heavier. His only response was a stupid nod.
Wu Ming was moved, and Wu Zhao was no less. As Wu Ming came to his senses and began to fight back, his passion was also as moist as spring rain.
After some banter, they finally merged together. The bald monk angrily broke through the water curtain, and insisted on carving out a holy place in the narrow space behind the waterfall.
After a long period of digging, the water curtain became a cave, and a monk sat there, foaming at the mouth with joy. This was the place where the monk achieved enlightenment, and he must have been tired but happy.
The Water Curtain Cave was filled with powerful spirits and Wu Zhao was panting from exhaustion. She now realized that Wu Ming was increasingly difficult to deal with.
Even though her cultivation was also improving, she still couldn't keep up with Wu Ming's progress.
"After this New Year, you will really be busy, and I don't know when we will see each other again."
"What's the big deal? I teleported back to see you. The Tang Dynasty is big, but not so big that it has no boundaries. Even if you're far away and teleporting once doesn't work, I can always reach you by teleporting twice or three times."
"You're awesome, okay? I just want to act cute with you. You don't understand romance at all."
"If you say that, I won't come back."
"If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. It's a good opportunity for me to practice hard."
Wu Zhao snorted lightly and acted like a little girl. She would always behave like this every time she was with Wu Ming. At this moment, she was not the queen, but a little woman who had let go of everything.

Chapter 83: Mission
In the seventh year of Yonghui, which was 656 AD, Wu Zhao, who had worked hard all night with Wu Ming, received the first good news of the new year.
Li Zhi will bring her to the ancestral temple, and posthumously confer the title of Si Tu on her father Wu Shigui, and also confer the title of Lady of Dai on her mother Yang.
This means that her position as queen is now secure.
At the same time, Wu Ming was summoned to the palace by the emperor.
"Mr. Wu, the Hua family in Jiangnan, in gratitude for the court's kindness, raised a million strings of cash to reward the three armies. However, part of the bounty sent to the front line mysteriously disappeared during the transfer process and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day."
"I want you to rush to Jiangnan immediately and take full charge of this matter. Within three months, you must recover the lost money and severely punish the offender."
"I respect your order!" Wu Ming bowed to receive the order, then took a secret order from the fat eunuch and left the palace without stopping.
There is an order within an order. It looks like we are in big trouble this time.
After leaving the palace, Wu Ming opened the secret order in his hand. After reading it, he complained speechlessly.
The content of the secret order has nothing to do with the lost reward, but involves some forces in Jiangnan. Wu Ming's task is to investigate some forces and then find an excuse to eliminate some of them.
And these forces, without exception, are more or less involved with Changsun Wuji.
It seems that Li Zhi has reached the point where he can no longer tolerate Zhangsun Wuji. It is no wonder that the old man has been so quiet during this period of time, with a knife hanging over his neck.
It seems that he also realized the danger and began to consciously play ostrich.
But he wanted to be an ostrich, and Li Zhi would not let him go.
This kind of thing should have been done by the Six Gates and the Bad People, but now it fell on Wu Ming's head, simply because the Internal Guards were just established not long ago, their members are still very clean, and they can act more secretly.
Therefore, this time's mission, to retrieve the lost military rewards, was only Wu Ming's superficial job; privately weakening Changsun Wuji's power was the hard task.
No wonder three months was given for one case. Wu Ming suspected that Li Zhi would have given half a year if a longer time would not have attracted the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
Three months is a very ambiguous period of time. To the outside world, it can be completely explained that the internal guards were inexperienced and the emperor did not want to put pressure on his beloved minister, so he gave enough time.
The intrigues in the court are very interesting just thinking about it.
An evil light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes. During the previous period of time, it was not so much that the emperor did not want him to be idle, but rather that he himself did not like being idle. The Dao Heart Demon Seeding Method required continuous fighting to stimulate the demon seed after it matured.
According to the description of the Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart, this is a method of nurturing and stimulating demons. It requires the practitioner to constantly experience life-and-death battles and fight with others. Only in this way can the dormant Dao Heart be revitalized again and the fusion of the Dao Heart and the Demon Seed be accelerated.
Wu Ming had been eager to take action against this. Before this, he actually didn't like fighting, but after he became a demon, he had to fight.
"Sir, it's New Year's Day. The emperor won't give you a mission at this time, right?"
"Of course not. Not only was I given a task, but it was a big one."
"Go and inform Jingwei and the others that this mission is very important. The focus of the inner guards during this period must be on this. Go down and pack up, take everything you need, and this time you have to go south to the Jiangnan area."
"Jiangnan? Jiangnan is great. The scenery there is very nice."
"Master, we want to go too. Let me and Sister Azhu accompany you, and we can serve you on the way." A Bi came over obediently and looked at Wu Ming with expectation in her eyes.
"A-Bi, stop messing around. The young master is going to do some serious business. If we go there with such a short time, we will cause trouble for him." A-Zhu was also following, and after hearing what A-Bi said, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled A-Bi up.
Compared to Ah Zhu, Ah Bi is always purer. After she makes up her mind, her sweet and innocent personality comes out. When she is with Wu Ming, she is always more natural and less considerate than Ah Zhu.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Ah Zhu is a bad person. On the contrary, when it comes to being thoughtful in handling things, Ah Zhu is much better than Ah Bi. When it comes to being a maid, Ah Zhu is undoubtedly more qualified.
"It's okay. Go if you want to. If you stay with me, then there's no need for you to do anything. Even if I don't do anything, you still have so many powerful sisters."
Wu Ming pointed at Yue Ji, who became eager to try after hearing the mission. Speaking of which, these women who practiced martial arts were all violent and would never hesitate if they had the chance to take action!
"Okay, sir. We'll go down and prepare now." Ah Zhu was very happy to hear that Wu Ming was willing to take them. She immediately pulled Ah Bi, who was still excited, and rushed to the backyard.
"Abi, don't always come to the young master and ask for things. We are just servants and we need to understand the rules of being servants. If the young master wants to take us with him, he will naturally tell us. If he doesn't want to take us with him, then you are embarrassing him by asking for things."
"I understand, Sister Ah Zhu. I just feel that the young master is different from Murong Fu. He doesn't really treat us as servants, so he can't help but act a little more presumptuous."
"I know what you're thinking, but the young master is kind to us and we can't forget our roots. We still have to have the right attitude. If you behave like this, the young master will think you're being spoiled, and if he gets upset with you, you'll regret it." Ah Zhu warned again.
"Okay, Sister Ah Zhu, Ah Bi knows she was wrong and will never do it again. Let's go and help the young master pack his things. We are going so far this time and need to bring a lot of things. We can't make it inconvenient for the young master."
A-Bi made a face at A-Zhu, knowing that her sister was serious and it was all for her own good, so she was not annoyed at all. In fact, she also noticed this and warned herself several times.
