Chapter 898: Chapter 898: The Master’s True Face of Mount Lu
Thus, Yuwen Jun temporarily had no ti to concern himself with the Dai County Magistrate, as he worried the scouts of his seniors, Lao Da and Lao Er, would discover his lingering at Three-Branch Junction. Yuwen Jun ordered his substitute to lead the procession ant for the Imperial Court back to Biluo, and then sent orders via homing pigeon to dispatch five hundred cavalryn to co over during the night from nearby posts.
Having thoroughly arranged the guards at Three-Branch Junction, Yuwen Jun then rode hurriedly toward the Imperial Capital.
Unfortunately, it was destined to be a futile trip.
Because Li Wenli and Bai Junjun had long since left the place.
When he saw that the Bai Residence had beco deserted without knowing when, Yuwen Jun clenched his fist in fury.
He had clearly instructed her to do nothing and just wait for him in the Imperial Capital.
But why didn’t she listen!
Now that a great war is about to begin, how could he possibly take care of her!
Yuwen Jun felt both lost and angry, lost because Bai Junjun did not take his words to heart, and angry that she, being so intelligent, could not see through Li Wenli’s disguise.
Talking about using her, isn’t Li Wenli doing the sa!
Without Bai Junjun as a stepping stone, how could Li Wenli ever reach the high branch that is Yuwen Luanfei!
Yuwen Jun stood in the decrepit courtyard that once held the presence of Bai Junjun, feeling desolate and powerless for a mont.
Liking soone is so difficult, even more hurtful is the constant unrequited giving!
At that mont, footsteps ca from behind.
He turned around and saw a woman in a red robe with eyes brimming with emotion.
“Xiao Miao pays respects to Master.”
In an instant, Yuwen Jun concealed his inner emotions and looked indifferently at the woman before him.
She was recomnded by Shopkeeper Yan, and indeed had proven to excel beyond the original, now managing the Dongsheng Tavern in the Imperial Capital in perfect order.
Ever since Thousand Miles had been taken down by Yuwen Luanfei, and after Manager Qiao was killed in Humming Abyss, news from the Imperial Capital had relied solely on the reports from Zhao Xiaomiao.
Therefore, when coming to the Imperial Capital this ti, he had also inford Zhao Xiaomiao.
At that ti, Zhao Xiaomiao was slightly surprised and excited when she received her master’s homing pigeon ssage “et at Bai Residence tonight at Zi Hour.” She wondered if Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were at the Bai Residence; might there be so connection with the master arranging the eting here…
But then again, upon further thought, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had left more than half a month before; surely the master knew that this place had once again beco a deserted house, that’s why he planned the eting here.
Zhao Xiaomiao had not t Yuwen Jun, nor did she know his identity.
However, she understood that one who has an organization like Thousand Miles at command couldn’t be an ordinary person.
Even with all her ntal preparation, she could not have imagined that the person appearing before her was a young and handso lord, wearing a purple robe exuding nobility, and so strikingly handso that her knees went weak and the Gu insects within her body started to stir uneasily.
Speaking of which, ever since she took the dicinal Pill bestowed by the Chief every month, she needed a Detoxification Pill.
But since Thousand Miles was wiped out, she could no longer contact the Chief, and with the month almost over, at the ti of onset without the antidote, she would suffer unbearably and die.
With this in mind, Zhao Xiaomiao put any inappropriate emotions behind her and knelt down to Yuwen Jun, pleading, “Master, during these days in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Miao has been utterly devoted and diligent. Although Thousand Miles is no longer around, Xiao Miao has the confidence to make Dongsheng Tavern into the next Thousand Miles, so please, Master, do not give up on Xiao Miao.”
“What do you an by this? Why would I give up on you?” Yuwen Jun raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Xiaomiao looked up pitifully, “To prove my loyalty, Xiao Miao has ingested the Love Gu. Now that the one-month period is nearly over and the antidote is still not available, Xiao Miao wishes to continue to serve the master; Xiao Miao does not want to die.”
