Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 423: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 19

*

"Young Marquis, I really didn't hide them. I told her before that as long as she stole the account book, I would release her and the merman boy who was captured with her. Now I have someone watching her outside to prevent them from escaping..."

Lord Tang cried and shed tears while trying to shirk his responsibilities.

Lu Jingzhi felt upset when he heard that Lord Tang meant that he had never intended to let Wu leave the County Magistrate's Mansion.

That means he wants Ah Wu to steal the account book, and then he wants Ah Wu...

Lu Jingzhi's eyes turned cold, and he raised his sword and said coldly:

"Before I set out, His Majesty promised me that I could execute the enemy first and report to you later, but it seems like you have something else to say..."

Lu Jingzhi's voice paused, and Lord Tang's tense heart relaxed a little. Now that he had found evidence, he could only imprison Lu Jingzhi but could not execute him on the spot!

However, the next second, a cold light flashed in Lu Jingzhi's eyes, and he raised his sword and chopped off one of Lord Tang's arms with a neat movement.

"Ahhh!"

Lord Tang covered his bleeding arm in pain, and before he could react, Lu Jingzhi stabbed one of his eyes.

He lay on the ground, screaming and cursing in pain, and was arrested by two guards who arrived.

"This arm and this eye are your first apology for killing the people in Liangzhou City over the years."

Lu Jingzhi said coldly, throwing the blood-stained sword to Du Zhong with disgust.

He was thinking about Awu's affairs now, frowning slightly and asking Du Zhong:

"Didn't I have someone guarding the front and back doors? Have you seen the lady?"

"My Lord, I have people guarding both the front and back doors, but... no one is coming in or out."

Du Zhong responded, and Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly as he looked at the empty wing.

Then I thought of another possibility. She probably didn't go out through the door, but climbed the wall or dug a hole...

Lu Jingzhi was not too anxious because he had already asked Du Song to take people to wait on the fishing boat on the coast. If Awu arrived there, they would bring her back.

His eyes were dark, and there were some bloodstains on his riding clothes, which made him look eerie.

The little mermaid had been on the shore for a while, and her brain had become smarter...

On an inconspicuous fishing cart that had already left the County Magistrate's Mansion, Yun Wu, who had changed into a fisherwoman's outfit, had a small piece of cloth covering her head to hide her face.

The person sitting next to her and driving the fishing truck was Yue Sangning.

"Don't worry, benefactor. My grandmother has already hidden your tribesman in a fishing cart and taken him to the coast. When the time comes, he will be able to dive back to the bottom of the sea once we dump him into the sea."

"Thank you……"

Yun Wu's voice was weak and she looked at Yue Sangning with some gratitude.

She originally planned to leave the county magistrate's mansion through a dog hole with the little merman boy, but she didn't expect to meet Yue Sangning as soon as she came out.

Because her people had no legs and were unable to move around easily, Yun Wu was afraid that the people from the County Magistrate's Office would chase them out, so she immediately asked Yue Sangning to release her people back into the sea first.

"My benefactor, please don't go to the coast now. On the way here, I saw many guards from the palace heading towards the coast..."

Yue Sangning said this with a worried look on his face as he drove the fishing cart carefully in a remote dark alley.

Yun Wu's shoulders trembled as she thought of what Lu Jingzhi said when he tested him last night. It was indeed coming true.

"It seems... they are here to arrest me. After all, I stole the young marquis's account book and gave it to Lord Tang as evidence..."

She sniffed and said with some fear, clutching her dress helplessly with her hands.

If she is caught by the young marquis, she will be dried into a dried fish. Wuwuwu...

"The benefactor also wanted to save his own people..."

Yue Sangning comforted her and drove the fishing cart quickly to where she and her grandmother lived.

"Please stay at my house for the time being. My grandmother will be very happy. She has long wanted to repay your kindness."

"Thank you for taking me in..."

Yun Wu's voice was soft, and she got off the fishing vehicle carefully.

She sighed to herself in her heart. She could hide in Yue Sangning's house tonight, but she should leave tomorrow.

Since there is no way back into the sea now, let’s go somewhere else to play first.

Yun Wu's mind suddenly brightened up again, and she followed Yue Sangning into her house.

When the young marquis calms down and forgets her existence, she will sneak back and then go to the coast and swim back into the sea...

Yue Sangning's grandmother was a very kind old lady. As soon as she saw Yun Wu, she couldn't stop praising her for her beauty.

Not only did he make her a midnight snack, he also cleaned up the best room in the house for her to stay overnight.

Yun Wu was already a little tired after going through so many things tonight, but she was still afraid that she would be caught by Lu Jingzhi and then interrogated and tortured.

She lay on the bed, covered with the clean bedding that Yue Sangning had just brought her, which still smelled of the sun.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow..."

Yun Wu yawned and muttered. She was so sleepy that she had no time to think about her own fate.

It was a dark night, in the most inconspicuous fisherman's house deep in the most inconspicuous street in Liangzhou City.

The little mermaid was sleeping soundly inside...

In the palace which was farther away, the lights were on. In the main hall, Du Zhong and Du Song were waiting inside, but they didn't even dare to breathe.

Lu Jingzhi, dressed in a black robe, sat on a sandalwood chair, holding the hairpin that Yun Wu usually wore in his hand, tapping the table from time to time.

He turned around and looked at Du Song with a stern face, then said:

"Didn't you see it?"

"My Lord, I have led my men on a boat and are surrounding the coast, but I haven't seen Miss Yun - no, I haven't seen Madam coming..."

Du Song touched his head and said honestly, then asked doubtfully:

"Young Marquis, why do you want us to intercept Madam at the coast? Wouldn't a normal person go through the city gate? Could it be that Madam is a fish? What kind of fish? A bighead carp or a yellow croaker—"

"No matter what kind of fish it is, just shut up..."

Du Zhong raised his hand and knocked Du Song's head hard. Lu Jingzhi frowned and remained silent.

He lowered his head and stroked the silver hairpin that Yun Wu loved to wear most, then whispered:

"She didn't go to the coast, and the city gates were already closed at night. Since she is still in Liangzhou City, there is no need to rush. She has no other place to go, except to people she knows..."

"But the Madam seldom goes out after coming to the palace, and she knows——"

Du Song scratched his head and said with a twisted face, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said with wide eyes:

"Last time, a fisherwoman named Yue Sangning came to see Madam. It seems that the two of them know each other."

"Ah."

Lu Jingzhi responded indifferently, as if he had already determined where Yun Wu was.

"Then... Young Marquis, I have to leave immediately to fetch Miss Yun - no... to fetch Madam back?"

Du Zhong stepped forward and bowed. He was still not used to calling Miss Yun "Madam", but Lu Jingzhi seemed to be really moved.

Lu Jingzhi raised his eyes to glance at the dark sky outside and saw that it was already very late.

At this time of day in the past, Awu would have already fallen asleep.
