Wutong?

Xie Xuan felt that it was not very good.

The maids around the eldest princess all know some martial arts skills, but Wutong's martial arts skills are only average, not outstanding.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei did cruel and ruthless things, while Wutong took care of the princess' daily life and did romantic things. These two are not in the same system. How can a little girl do both?

But Xie Xuan was not used to refuting the eldest princess's words, and since the eldest princess did not want to drive him away, other things would naturally be good if the eldest princess thought them good.

Even if something was originally bad, he would find a way to make it good to make the princess happy.

So Xie Xuan nodded and said:

"Wutong is loyal, smart, and insightful. As long as she is willing to learn, she will be right."

Su Fengyi was very happy to see that he agreed:

"That's right, Wutong is strong, but she lacks experience. You can guide her when you have time.

By the way, release those people first, and do it more naturally. Also tell them where General Shen lives."

Xie Xuan didn't need to ask who those people were. He nodded, took the Northern Barbarians' secret treasure map, bowed and left.

The princess was having a secret conversation with Captain Xie, and Wutong was standing guard outside the door. When he saw Captain Xie coming out, he hurried over to greet him:

"Have you finished talking to Captain Xie? Your Highness, are you going to take a rest?"

Wutong was about to go in while talking, but Xie Qianhu stopped her and said to Dangui who was a little further away:

"Dan Gui, you go and wait on His Highness and let him rest tonight."

Just now it was Xie Xuan who was at a loss, now it was Wutong's turn.

Dangui was also very confused. She had lived under Wutong for a long time and was a little afraid of him. She didn't dare to step forward without Wutong's permission, for fear of offending Wutong.

The last time the princess wanted to drink tea, Baiguo was serving her in the bedroom.

There was a maid serving in the outer room who took advantage of Wutong's absence and bullied Baiguo for being thin-skinned. When the kitchen came to serve tea, the maid took the initiative to bypass Baiguo and serve the tea to the princess.

Bai Guo didn't take it seriously and told Wu Tong about it as a joke:

"The princess didn't even look at her and didn't even know her name. She still thinks the princess can reward her!"

Wutong immediately quit and started scolding Baiguo:

"I asked you to serve the princess, but you only know how to be sneaky and cunning, and you dare to let any rotten fish and shrimp in. If she has any bad intentions and causes any trouble, can you bear the consequences?"

After scolding Baiguo, Wutong was not done yet. He ran to the second-class maid's room, pulled the maid out, tied her up, and beat her with ten big boards before he stopped.

After the beating, he also admonished in public:

"The Princess's Mansion has its own rules, and everyone has their own duties.

If I catch anyone again who doesn't do his job properly and wanders around, the next person will be given 20 lashes, and the next person will be given 30 lashes. Think about it yourself and see if you have enough strength to live."

Afterwards, the beaten maid never appeared again. Whenever Dangui thought of this incident, she felt terrified.

Therefore, Dangui looked at Wutong cautiously and smiled:

"Sister Wutong, I..."

Being deprived of his position as a personal servant in public, Wutong's eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up in his eyes. He bit his lips and refused to cry. He turned his head away stubbornly and said:

"Since you are asked to go, go in quickly. Why are you talking so much? Don't delay His Highness's rest."

Dangui then went in. Xie Xuan ignored Wutong and turned to walk towards his own yard.

After everyone left, Wutong's tears began to fall.

Wutong was wiping her tears silently when she heard Xie Xuan say coldly from a distance:

"How long are you going to keep crying? Keep up, we have a lot to do tonight."

Wutong realized that this was what His Highness had told Captain Xie, so Captain Xie agreed to teach him!

No wonder Dangui was the one serving me tonight, it was because Captain Xie wanted to teach me some skills today.

His Highness was truly resolute and swift. Wutong's sadness turned into joy, and he ran away:

"I'm coming, I'm coming right away. I won't delay Captain Xie's business."

……

Su Fengyi is the only official master in the Princess's Mansion, so there is no distinction between inner and outer courtyards. In addition, Xie Xuan is the Princess's personal guard, so Xie Xuan's courtyard is next to Su Fengyi's bedroom, separated by only a wall.

But in all these years of working together, Wutong had never entered Xie Qianhu's yard.

First, Captain Xie is a young and handsome man but he has not married yet, so Wutong wants to avoid suspicion.

Even if the princess had something to say to Captain Xie, Wutong would only say it at the door and would never go in. She would not even look towards Captain Xie's yard to avoid any gossip.

Secondly, there were some legends in the Princess's Mansion that some people disappeared inexplicably, and everyone secretly said that Captain Xie might have killed them. Wutong had always been a little afraid of Captain Xie in his heart.

When he arrived at the gate of Xie Xuan's yard, Xie Xuan did not stop, pushed the door open and went straight in.

Wutong soon followed and arrived at the door. He saw that the gate of Xie Qianhu's courtyard was wide open. It was pitch black inside, without a trace of light, not even a lantern. It was as if there was a monster hiding in the darkness, with its mouth wide open, waiting to devour any mortal who strayed in.

Even the bright moonlight that came down from the sky seemed to be swallowed up by this monster.

The fear that was hidden in Wutong's heart in the past suddenly became concrete. Wutong found that his hands and feet were involuntarily weak, so he pinched himself hard and said to himself:

You useless bastard, don't be afraid! This opportunity was obtained by the princess for you. You got what you asked for. What are you afraid of?

Wutong took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and stepped in.

Xie Xuan's courtyard is not big, but it is an orthodox main house with east and west wing rooms, and it has everything it should have.

The main house is the study, the west wing is the armory, and the east wing is the pharmacy.

Xie Xuan entered the study first without lighting the lights. After waiting for a while, he saw Wutong following him in the dark. With a reluctant satisfaction, he gave a comment:

"good."

Most of the actions of the Jinyiwei are not open. If she is a little girl who is afraid of even the dark, he will have to think carefully about how to deal with this matter.

Xie Xuan then lit the lamp and pointed at the bookshelf and said to Wutong:

"Start with Book A, and recite one book every day. If you can't recite it, don't come."

Wutong did not ask what to recite, but expressed his determination first:

"I will definitely be able to do that. Even if I don't want to sleep, I will finish reciting it before I go to sleep."

Then he went to the bookshelf and started looking for Volume A that Xie Xuan mentioned from the top shelf.

The candlelight was dim, the bookshelves were high, and the books were densely packed. Wutong was petite, and she had to stand on tiptoe to recognize the titles of each book on the top shelf, and then try hard to pull out the books, which was quite difficult.

But she was strong-willed and refused to ask where the first volume was, nor could she ask Captain Xie to help her find it. She was concentrating on searching when she suddenly heard Xie Xuan's cold voice:

"Jia Yi is on the second floor."

Wutong was startled and used too much force when pulling the book out, causing several books to fall to the ground with a clang. She hurriedly squatted down to pick them up.

There were several fallen books lying under the table. The one on top had an old cover and was solid color with no words on it.

Wutong curiously opened it. On the first page, two blood-red characters appeared before him, baring their fangs and claws. It was a person's name:

Liu Ci.

Not only was the name blood red, but there was also a big red cross on the name, like a book of life and death drawn by a judge. Just looking at it made people feel breathless.
