Chapter 252 Ugly
Governor's Mansion, Buddhist temple in the backyard.
Amidst the lingering scent of sandalwood, Zhou Ruqing sat cross-legged in front of a Buddhist shrine, wearing plain clothes and a silk scarf, gently twisting a string of inky black Buddhist beads in his hands. With his elegant facial features and gray beard, he really looked like a sage who was detached from the world.
Knock knock knock~
Just at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door a few times.
"Come in."
Zhou Ruqing responded, and saw the door of the room open to the left and right. Several young women came in one after another from outside, and lined up in a row in the Buddhist hall in a panic.
All of these women had their arms crossed behind their backs, and their spring clothes, no matter how thin or thick, were all tied tightly around their bodies with thin linen ropes, exposing their delicate bodies completely.
"Uncle!"
At this time, the full-bearded captain of the guards, Ge Yan, also came in from outside and said proudly: "I personally selected for a long time and finally found these top ones. Not to mention their looks and figures, they are all virgins..."
"shut up!"
Zhou Ruqing frowned and angrily scolded: "How dare you speak such foul language in front of the Buddha!"
So what in front of the Buddha? It’s not like I haven’t played with a nun before!
Ge Yan was disdainful in his heart, but he could only pretend to be learning and listen attentively.
Zhou Ruqing scolded him a few more times before changing the subject and asking , "Where is Hu Nietai? Have you sent anyone to serve him?"
Ge Yan grinned again: "See what you said, of course I have to follow your lead and wait until you have finished choosing..."
"Confused!"
Zhou Ruqing glared at him and scolded him, "Hu Nietai is a calculative person. At this critical moment, we should focus on him first! How can you make Hu Nietai unhappy for a few mere women?!"
He had sent the beautiful virgin here out of good intentions, but was scolded instead. Ge Yan felt depressed, but he could only bow and say, "Uncle, calm down. I will send the person to Hu Nietai now."
As he said this, he pushed the women out the door.
At this moment, Zhou Ruqing uttered five words faintly: "The second one on the left."
Sniff
I've said a lot of nonsense, but in the end I still have to choose first, right?
Leaving the second woman on the left alone in the Buddhist hall, Ge Yan drove the rest of the women to Hu Nietai's temporary residence.
Hu Nietai was not as calm as Zhou Ruqing. He was sighing in the room with dark circles under his eyes. Only when he saw those beautiful virgins did he perk up a little.
He circled around like a beast, looking at this one and feeling reluctant to part with it, but he didn't want to keep it all to himself, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. Captain Ge, how about we become 'brothers in the same boots'?"
Ge Yan, however, was not as harsh as him. He hesitated and was about to refuse when he heard someone outside loudly report: "Captain Ge, it's bad! Most of the soldiers we sent to invite those Korean barbarians were killed, and now only three have escaped!"
Ge Yan and Hu Nietai looked at each other in bewilderment, no longer caring about whether they were on the same page or not, and hurriedly strode out to meet them, grabbing the personal soldier who came to report, and gritted his teeth and said, "How dare those Korean barbarians be so bold? Do they want to fight another battle with our Great Zhou?!"
Although he was ready to commit treason and flee, this did not prevent Captain Ge from calling himself the "representative of the Great Zhou" for the time being.
"It wasn't the Korean barbarians who killed him!"
The guard said hurriedly, "We were just halfway there when a burly man suddenly rode up behind us and started hacking us with his sword without saying a word! He was really powerful and killed most of our men in a blink of an eye. Only three of us managed to escape!"
A big, burly guy?
Although there are many strong men with some military power in this city, there is no one who dares to slaughter the governor's personal soldiers in the street...
Ge Yan frowned and immediately thought of Sun Shaozong, so he asked hurriedly: "Does that person have thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face? And his eyes are particularly bright?"
The personal soldier who reported back was stumped by his question and stammered, "I... I didn't ask in detail..."
"waste!"
Ge Yan threw him away and went to the front to find the three people who had escaped and asked them one by one. He was sure that it was Sun Shaozong.
"Damn it! I didn't bother him, but this bastard came to my door!"
Ge Yan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and immediately called for all his troops to attack and tear Sun Shaozong into pieces in order to avenge his fellow villagers.
"Captain Ge, please be patient!"
Hu Nietai hurriedly stopped him and reminded him, "Now is not the time to act rashly. Let's report this to the governor and see what he has to say!"
Ge Yan only dared to act arrogantly in front of Hu Nietai because he was the governor's cousin. But now that Hu Nietai's words were indisputable, he did not dare to act recklessly.
So he had to go to the Buddhist temple in the backyard with Hu Nietai in disappointment.
In his haste, Ge Yan forgot to knock on the door and rushed in, shouting, "Uncle, something happened..."
Before he could utter the word "了", the scene in front of him made Ge Yan stunned.
On the altar, several plates of fruit were swept aside, and replaced by a half-naked girl. Her two long white legs were hanging in the air, and one of her delicate and small lotus feet was being held in Zhou Ruqing's mouth, being kissed and nibbled!
Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Zhou Ruqing looked up in surprise. His gray beard was covered with saliva, revealing his ugly obsession. Was there any trace of his usual majestic image?
Seeing this, Ge Yan and Hu Nietai stood there with one foot inside the door and the other outside, not knowing whether to go forward or retreat.
But Zhou Ruqing was indeed Zhou Ruqing. Seeing him in such an awkward state, he adjusted his mindset in the blink of an eye, let go of the woman's saliva-covered feet, stood up solemnly and asked, "What happened? Why are you all so panicked?"
Although his expression became serious, the saliva on his gray beard was still dripping down!
This style of painting is really...
Ge Yan did not dare to remind him, so he pretended he saw nothing. He bent over and told the story of Sun Shaozong's brazen attack and killing more than a dozen of his personal soldiers in the street.
Zhou Ruqing also frowned after hearing this, and after a while he gave an order in a deep voice: "Hu Nietai, gather the troops of our company later. I will give you an additional 30 people, and bring more bows, crossbows and firearms..."
When Ge Yan heard this, he became anxious and said, "Uncle, let me go! I will definitely capture Sun Shaozong and cut him into pieces in front of you!"
"Confused!"
Zhou Ruqing glared at him and angrily scolded, "Not to mention that Sun Shaozong has hands and feet, and even a horse to travel, so he may not stay in the inn and wait for death - even if you can really capture him, what use will it be to us?"
"The most important thing right now is Li Enxian. Only by capturing him can we seize the three warships without bloodshed!"
"Hu Nietai, there is no time to lose, you must gather your troops and set out immediately!"
At this point, Zhou Ruqing paused for a moment, then added murderously: "If that Sun guy dares to show up again, just shoot him like a hedgehog! "
