Chapter 422: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Seventy-Two)
Ji Jiuyuan felt that someone was spying on him. There seemed to be two gazes. One person's gaze was somewhat familiar, and the other person's gaze was bloody and dangerous. He couldn't help but look back, but there was nothing. Behind him was still dense grass and tall trees.
The deputy general saw the general suddenly stop and asked hurriedly: "General, is there something wrong?"
Ji Jiuyuan turned his horse around, looked around, frowned and said, "Nothing, maybe I'm just too suspicious. Let's go, we've been unexpectedly delayed on the road, so we'll have to arrive in Liangdu later. Let's hurry up."
"We traveled day and night, but unexpectedly we encountered a flash flood. Several roads were blocked, forcing us to take a long detour. General, don't worry, His Majesty will not blame you."
"Your Majesty is magnanimous and will probably not blame us, but we should not delay any longer."
The sound of horse hooves moved away from here again.
"Do you know that person?"
Shu Ka brought Cui Li out from the dark, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he remembered that he had pressed the mute point.
After unblocking the acupuncture points, Cui Li said, "Do you know the Liang State's Ji family army? He is General Ji Jiuyuan."
"Ji Jiuyuan? The man who led the Liang army to recapture the five cities? People with battlefield experience are indeed very sharp."
Cui Li nodded in agreement, it was indeed very perceptive.
"Let's go. He won't come back to save you. Be honest and don't play any tricks, otherwise..."
"Or you'll kill me?"
"Don't piss me off."
Cui Li met that cold, snake-like gaze, but her lips were still raised, and she didn't seem afraid at all.
"You don't want to be treated anymore?"
"Threaten me. My tolerance has its limits."
Cui Li nodded and said, "I know. You can still tolerate it, right? Just bear with it."
"Walk on your own."
Cui Li stood still. She refused to walk by herself. Her belly was so big that it would be tiring to walk.
"Be spoiled and then ride on your own."
Shu Ka had no choice but to use it as a free means of transportation and used his Qinggong skills to take Cui Li away.
Cui Li could now also see Shu Ka's face. It was horrible to look at. There was no blood in it, and it was pale with a hint of blue, blue with a hint of purple, and covered with patterns, like a corpse.
A handsome face will make people look more pleasing to the eye. Even if he has an ordinary appearance, he should not look so scary. No wonder he has to cover his face with a mask. It is simply unforgettable. So Cui Li treated him, starting with his face.
After two days of acupuncture and medication, although his face was still blue and purple, at least the patterns gradually disappeared.
Although Shuka said she was useless, he actually did not refuse to take the medicine.
Tsk tsk tsk, man!
At noon on the fifth day, Shuka brought Cui Li to an old mansion.
Shuka did not take Cui Li into the city when they were on the road. They walked through the mountains and forests. Occasionally, when he could not use his lightness skills, he would find a horse and ride on it.
Cui Li didn't know where Shuka took her. The dilapidated house was surrounded by mountains. There was no passerby nearby. It was a desolate place.
"You are finally here. The prince has not arrived yet. Please come in first."
When the people in the mansion opened the door, Cui Li was led inside, only to discover that there was a world of its own inside, with pavilions and waterside terraces, lush grass and leaves, white and red, and bright water and trees.
Cui Li could faintly hear the sound of a piano, but the sound was a little impetuous, and the person playing the piano was not at peace.
"Madam, please take a shower and change your clothes. The meal will be ready soon."
After applying a special liquid on her face, the makeup on her face slowly disappeared, revealing Cui Li's original beautiful face, with skin as crystal clear as ice and lotus in pure water. The maid who served Cui Li even forgot to hand the handkerchief in her hand to Cui Li.
Only after Cui Li called out a few times did the maid come to her senses.
"Madam, you are so beautiful that I am stunned by your beauty."
Cui Li smiled but didn't say anything. The maid's eyes were not only filled with amazement, but also with scrutiny and surprise.
Soon the maid left in a hurry, saying she was going to get food.
"Madam, the food is here, please enjoy your meal."
Cui Li looked at the dishes on the table and blinked slightly. She casually touched a few dishes with her chopsticks, ate only half a bowl of rice, and put down her chopsticks.
