Chapter 415: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 11
*
Yun Wu timidly raised her pair of bright eyes and looked at Lu Jingzhi. The bath water sprinkled with flower petals barely covered her shoulders, and her snow-white skin was particularly dazzling.
With her slightly messy long hair tied behind her head, she told them with her clear eyes to be intimate.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
Lu Jingzhi's voice was a little low. Yun Wu tilted her head and suddenly remembered that she couldn't say that. It would be bad if Lu Jingzhi found out.
She stumbled and quickly changed her words:
"What I mean is, I've finished taking a bath. Look, my fish tail is showing..."
As Yun Wu spoke, she lifted up her beautiful fish tail that was hidden in the water, as if to show it to Lu Jingzhi.
"So now the young marquis should help me change my legs back. Isn't that a way to get close to each other? It's the same method that the young marquis used to help me change my legs back before..."
She blinked guiltily, but in fact she was thinking about the plan given to her by Lord Tang.
Lu Jingzhi's eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything, but he nodded calmly.
He casually picked up the robe hanging beside him, wrapped Yun Wu in it and carried her out of the water.
Then, the thin lips with a cold fragrance came up...
Lu Jingzhi pressed down the back of Yun Wu's head with one hand and held her tightly with the other hand so that she could sit on the edge of the bathtub.
Perhaps it was because of the heat, Yun Wu felt dizzy, and then she felt that the fish tail had turned back into a pair of mortal legs.
"Well……"
She raised her hand and pushed Lu Jingzhi's shoulder, and he loosened his grip on the back of her head.
The two people's faces were very close, so close that Yun Wu could clearly see the darkness in the depths of Lu Jingzhi's eyes, and a hint of aggression.
Her shoulders couldn't help but tremble, but she still stretched out her arms and hugged Lu Jingzhi's neck with some trembling.
Yun Wu couldn't help but swallow when she saw Lu Jingzhi's eyes. He should be happy now.
Besides, they have kissed each other, and the water in the bathtub is still hot, so it can be considered as kissing.
"Young Marquis... I went to see the merchants and ships today, and I felt something was not right..."
She was wrapped in a robe and hugged Lu Jingzhi, her voice trembling as she spoke, blinking her eyes with a hint of temptation.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jingzhi's eyes were dark, and then he held her and walked slowly towards the inner bedroom.
Yun Wu was busy eating pastries today and didn't pay much attention.
"I, I can't really tell. What do you think, young marquis?"
Yun Wu said this dryly, and was then put by Lu Jingzhi to sit on the edge of the bed.
Lu Jingzhi's eyes were deep and seemed to hold a hint of smile. Just when Yun Wu thought he would not tell her easily.
Suddenly I heard him say lazily and casually:
"I have noticed something is wrong. Where there are many people, there will be fighting. Too much silence may not be a good thing. So tomorrow I will have someone conduct another secret investigation."
Lu Jingzhi seemed to be particularly confident in her, and he did not shy away from mentioning her presence when he said these words.
Yun Wu nodded as if she understood, and then took the pajamas handed to her by Lu Jingzhi.
It was late at night, and Yun Wu was still sleeping in the same bed with Lu Jingzhi. She had gotten used to having Lu Jingzhi by her side when she went to bed.
However, other people did not know that they slept in the same bed, and no one could enter Lu Jingzhi's bedroom without permission.
So no one else knew that Lu Jingzhi actually did not sleep in the main hall.
Yun Wu lay on her side, slightly opened her eyes, looked at Lu Jingzhi's handsome profile, and blinked sleepily.
"Are you tired from traveling today?"
Lu Jingzhi asked in a low voice. There was a faint candle light left in front of the bed curtains, so he could vaguely see the girl curled up in the quilt.
"I am a little tired..."
Yun Wu's voice was soft, and she felt her eyelids becoming heavier.
"But riding a horse today was fun. I want to do it again next time..."
"it is good."
Lu Jingzhi agreed, and then he no longer heard Yun Wu's voice, replaced by her steady breathing.
He tilted his head and saw Yun Wu, who was curled up and sleeping with her eyes closed. She looked very sleepy.
Lu Jingzhi was not in a hurry. He got up and extinguished the candle beside the bed so that Yun Wu could sleep more peacefully.
It was not until the night was deep and Yun Wu was sleeping soundly and would not be easily awakened that Lu Jingzhi slowly opened his eyes.
He moved closer to Yun Wu with skillful movements, and only felt at ease when he smelled the familiar faint fragrance on her.
In the dark environment, Lu Jingzhi's eyes became even deeper. He slowly raised his hand and stroked Yun Wu's cheek with his slightly cool fingertips.
"Have we met before? No... no..."
Lu Jingzhi murmured to himself. He had the impression that he and Yun Wu had never met before, but he always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.
He was not the kind of person who judged people by their appearance. When he lifted the black cloth in Lord Tang's mansion that day and saw her in the water coffin, he was indeed moved.
"You are really stupid. You can't even pretend to be one."
Lu Jingzhi's voice was low, but he was not angry with Yun Wu. Instead, he was amused by her attempts to cover up her mistakes in the past few days.
His eyes were dark, and then he raised his hand and easily embraced the sleeping person in his arms.
"I cooperate with you like this, you have to give me some reward..."
Lu Jingzhi's eyes fell on her pink lips, and then he leaned over to her while the night was dark...
He had just said that he didn't like sweet things, but now he was proven wrong...

The next morning, when Yun Wu got up, Lu Jingzhi was gone.
She had no time to care where Lu Jingzhi had gone. Before Qingluo came in, she hurriedly wrote a small note, intending to report to Lord Tang that Lu Jingzhi had become suspicious yesterday and was going to investigate the merchant.
Alas... there is no way, she is a mermaid on the chopping board. If she doesn't follow the plan, she and the little mermaid boy of the same species will be in trouble.
Yun Wu wrote the letter while crying, and hid the pearls that her tears had turned into.
This pearl is a treasure in the mortal world. She wants to save more so that when the plan is completed, she can take the mermaids of the same tribe away.
Then they would use the pearls to eat the food of the mortal world, and when they were full they would swim back to the bottom of the sea together, hehehe...
Yun Wu suddenly felt that there was some hope for the future, so she regrouped and quickly collected the information she had obtained.
Lu Jingzhi was still not there for breakfast today. Although Yun Wu was not used to him not being around, it made it convenient for her and the maidservants that Lord Tang had placed in the palace to deliver letters.
After quietly delivering the message, Yun Wu was walking on the gravel road in the backyard.
Her bright eyes were filled with anxiety and guilt, and her hands were clenched tightly.
"If the young marquis knew about this, I would be in big trouble..."
Yun Wu murmured to herself in a low voice. She learned this from Qingluo.
"Should I confess to the young marquis..."
She thought of the fishmonger she saw yesterday chopping fish with a knife, and she couldn't help but shudder.
No, no, if she told him, she would be hacked to death by the young marquis, and even her fish tail would be chopped off...
