The Mask of the Lord

Hua Wuque stood in front of the window with a peaceful and kind smile on his face.

Standing behind him, He Lu hesitated and said, "My lord, I always feel that Shan Liuli..."

"Free and unrestrained, unfathomable." Hua Wuque answered.

He Lu hurriedly said: "Then... shall I go test her..."

"Test? How to test?" Hua Wuque turned sideways, walked to the nearby wooden chair and sat down.

He Lu said: "Either use force to coerce her, or kill her."

Hua Wuque suddenly asked: "He Lu, how is Miss Li's martial arts?"

"Above me, but definitely not your opponent, son."

Holly answered honestly.

If it was really a one-on-one fight, she really couldn't beat Dan Liuli.

"Miss Li's words are true, but she has concealed part of the truth. For example, why is she the only one who can travel freely between the two worlds, and why doesn't she return to our world now." Hearing He Lu's words, Hua Wuque said with a slight smile: "Since she doesn't want to talk about it, and she doesn't want to go back for the time being, she has her own considerations. How can I force her with those methods? Besides, I also want to know who she is."

He Lu rolled his eyes, couldn't help laughing and said, "You're still smart, my lord."

Hua Wuque looked sideways out of the window, and slowly said: "You and I are missing now, if Master and Second Master find out, I'm afraid they will be very worried."

He Lu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Master, I am afraid that the Second Palace Mistress will be worried."

Hua Wuque was not embarrassed by the meaning of his words, and still smiled and said: "If the master is a strict father, then the second master is a loving mother. From childhood to adulthood, every time the master punishes me severely, the second master will always be in secret. Protect me everywhere."

He Lu said: "The Mistress of the Second Palace has a gentle temper and treats the sisters in the palace very well."

To be honest, compared with the cloudy and frosty grand master Yaoyue, all the sisters in Yihua Palace prefer the soft-tempered second master Lian Xing with a slight smile on his face.

Hua Wuque turned his head, nodded, and suddenly changed the topic: "He Lu, did you find out anything when you went outside just now?"

He Lu said: "Yes, it is the 15th year of Tianbao. I heard that the battle is fierce now. The current emperor fled Chang'an on June [-]th and went to Mawei Station not far from Chengdu. Now, Chang'an, Fenghuagu and The war in Luoyang was raging, and the common people died and fled, and it was almost impossible to survive."

Hua Wuque was startled, frowned and said, "It is the Spike Army who intercepted us today."

He Lu said: "Yes. I also found out that the two opposing camps, the Haoqi League and the Wicked People's Valley, have temporarily put aside their past grievances and decided to fight against foreign enemies. Tongguan was lost in the First Battle, and Tiance Mansion suffered heavy casualties. Now, The nine sects and major families each sent their disciples to join the battle and go to Tiance Mansion for reinforcements, and some people went to places where the war was more serious and the chaos was more serious to help the victims."

Hua Wuque lowered his eyes halfway, and said, "Miss Li explained that the departure today is to go to Mawei Post."

He Lu said: "They said they were going to Mawei Station to find a friend."

Hua Wuque said softly: "He Lu, go down and rest first, you have to get up early tomorrow to hurry."

"Yes, young master." He Lu nodded and walked out of the room.

Inside, Hua Wuque got up and stood in front of the window again, looked at the bright crescent moon outside the window, and murmured softly: "Is it war? It seems that this place is not as peaceful and peaceful as Guangdu Town looks on the outside..."

Thinking of Shan Liuli's resolute killing skills against those Spike Army in the daytime, Hua Wuque murmured softly again: "She is a chivalrous and heroic girl."

******

Shan Liuli has a weird temper, compared with other ordinary girls, she seems like a free and unrestrained man.Hua Wuque and He Lu each rode a horse, while she, Dan Liuli, leisurely and leisurely rode upside down on a little donkey that ran slower than a walking horse.

In his hand he holds a fishing rod with a line tied to the end of which a carrot is tied.

If the little donkey refuses to run, Shan Liuli will ride upright, holding the carrot on the fishing rod to lead the little donkey to run.

It takes several days to travel from Chengdu to Mawei Station. Originally, if you ride a fast horse, you can get there in only two days.But now, judging by the speed at which Shan Liuli rode the little donkey, it is estimated that he may not be able to reach Mawei Station in five or six days.

The road they walked was very remote, and they met almost no one along the way, and occasionally met one, who was a refugee.When Shan Liuli left Chengdu, she brought a big and bulging bag full of dry food and steamed buns. When they arrived at Mawei Station, the bag was empty and there was nothing left.

She gave all the dry food she had prepared to the refugees she met on the road.

Along the way, Hua Wuque discovered that Shan Liuli was a very kind girl.

She likes to do things with actions, not rhetoric with words.

When they arrived at Mawei Station, they bypassed Huangshan Palace and went straight to Fufeng County. Shan Liuli said that her friend was in Fufeng County.

As soon as she arrived in Fufeng County, Shan Liuli got off her little donkey, led the little donkey with its head down and chewed carrots, and Shan Liuli rushed to the slope in front of her and shouted from a distance: "Maomao, Xiaoyueer!!"

The young man who was called Mao Mao by her from afar and the girl Xiaoyue'er all looked in Dan Liuli's direction.

The two stood on the slope halfway up the mountain, seeming to be talking about something serious. The people in blue clothes standing guard around them were rigorous and orderly, and they looked like they were not ordinary martial arts people.

Fufeng County is stationed in Haoqi League, Mao Mao, also named Mu Xuanying, he is the disciple of Xie Yuan, the leader of Haoqi League.

Mu Xuanying had a handsome face and was upright. Just standing there gave people the urge to befriend him.

The woman next to him is Chen Yue, a disciple of the Flower Sage of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.

Both of them are good friends of Shan Liuli.

"Xiao Lizi!!" The first person in this world to call Dan Liuli Xiao Lizi was Chen Yue.

Chen Yue's face was covered with a veil, and she held an umbrella all year round, so her complexion was fair, with little blood.

Mu Xuanying followed behind Chen Yue, and when he saw Shan Liuli, there was a happy smile on his face that he hadn't shown for a long time. "Sister Li, why are you here? You didn't notify us in advance."

Shan Liuli said: "Didn't I want to surprise you guys?"

Chen Yue raised her hand and punched Shan Liuli's shoulder, pretending to be displeased and said, "Little Lizi, where have you been? After all, we haven't seen you for a year."

Shan Liuli rubbed her nose, couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't it just wandering around? You know, I'm used to wandering around wildly. If I follow the rules and follow the gang's brothers to do things, I will definitely be suffocated to death."

At this time, Mu Xuanying's eyes fell on the young girl behind Shan Liuli. "Who are these two?"

The white-clothed boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was only wearing an ordinary white linen shirt, but that kind of luxurious temperament that could not be expressed in words was incomparable to any young man in fine clothes and jade belts in the world.

And the white-clothed girl accompanying the white-clothed boy is also a stunning girl that is rarely seen. Her clothes are as white as snow, her long hair is as jet-black, and she has a slender figure. She has a long oval face and pointed willow-leaf eyebrows. His eyes are bright and energetic.

Hua Wuque bowed to Mu Xuanying and Chen Yue, "Disciple Hua Wuque."

Following Hua Wuque's introduction, He Lu briefly nodded towards Mu Xuanying and Chen Yue, and said, "He Lu."

Shan Liuli didn't know how to explain the identities of the two of them, so she used the word "friends" to describe everything. "Maomao, Xiaoyue'er, Playboy and Miss Helu are my new friends."

For so many years, Mu Xuanying and Chen Yue have seen countless people, but only after hearing Hua Wuque's words, he felt that his humility and politeness, his gentleness and demeanor were rare in the world.

Mu Xuanying clasped her fists in return and said, "Mu Xuanying."

Chen Yue pointed at herself and said with a smile: "Chen Yue, just like Xiao Lizi, call me Xiao Yue'er."

Hua Wuque smiled and nodded, but he was still very humble and said, "Mr. Mu, Miss Yue."

Such a rare and polite person, Chen Yue and Mu Xuanying unconsciously had a slight smile on their lips.

This man can be dated deeply.

Seeing through the two of them's inner thoughts at a glance, Shan Liuli almost couldn't stroke her forehead, she really wanted to complain.

Is this about making friendships across time and space?

Just thinking of this, a flash of light flashed in her mind, she raised her hand and touched her nose, helplessly.

Well, I almost forgot, she is also a friend across time and space to Mu Xuanying and Chen Yue, and her situation is much more complicated than that of Hua Wuque and Chen Yue.

Because she passed through the three-dimensional real world.

Looking around, Shan Liuli found that part of the Tang army here was rushing to Maoling. "Maomao, Xiaoyue'er."

Chen Yue responded, "Huh?"

Shan Liuli asked, "What did Tang Jun do in Maoling?"

Chen Yue sneered: "It's not for the treasure of the previous dynasty."

Shan Liuli was surprised and said: "The treasure of the previous dynasty? Isn't that a rumor? Did the Holy One believe it?"

Near the Maoling is the Tomb Shou Village. People in the village have guarded the Maoling for generations. Their responsibility is to protect the ancestors in the Maoling from being disturbed by outsiders.

But now, such a simple wish seems impossible to realize.

Mu Xuanying shook her head and said: "At this juncture, the treasury is short of resources, and the soldiers' rations and ammunition are getting less and less. Even if we are here, if things go on like this, we will not be the opponent of the Spike Army in An Lushan's hands."

The corner of Shan Liuli's mouth twitched, full of coldness. "It's not the result of his pampering the courtiers and not listening to advice to make such a mess today."

There are more than one or two stupid things that the Holy Majesty has done today, otherwise how could Tongguan fall?However, Shan Liuli's tone of voice really resembles him. "Sister Li, you really sound like brother Mo Yu. He also said similar things."

Shan Liuli asked: "A Yu? Ah, when it comes to Ah Yu, I just want to ask, isn't he here?"

Chen Yue curled her lips and said, "Do you think Mo Yu will appear where the Haoqi League exists?"

After listening to Chen Yue's words, Shan Liuli replied seriously: "I think where there is Mao Mao, there will be Ah Yu."

Mu Xuanying: "..."

Chen Yue laughed and said, "Yes, if it wasn't for Xie Yuan to thank the leader for obstructing, Mo Yu would probably have abducted Mao Mao into the Valley of the Evil."

Shan Liuli said: "So, it's really strange that Ah Yu is not here."

Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more outrageous, and the smiles on the corners of Hua Wuque and He Lu's mouths became deeper and deeper, Mu Xuanying quickly stopped this weird topic, and said, "Sister Li, we are going to send a team to Chang'an City recently. Relief refugees, there is a shortage of people who can lead the team, come here, okay?"

Shan Liuli said without hesitation, "I refuse."

Mu Xuanying: "..."

Chen Yuedao: "Maomao, you idiot, it's not like you don't know that little Lizi hates troubles the most, and you let her lead the team."

Mu Xuanying: "..."

Chen Yue looked at Shan Liuli, changed her way, and said, "Let's go to Chang'an City with the small team to help the refugees. I'll go too, little Lizi."

Shan Liuli said: "Okay."

Mu Xuanying: "..."

Mu Xuanying is really speechless, is there something wrong with the way he speaks?How come what Chen Yue said, what she said to him, can produce two results?Obviously all the same.

With Shan Liuli's consent, Chen Yue proudly raised her chin at Mu Xuanying.

Mu Xuanying turned her head, he really wasn't used to Chen Yue showing such a sullen expression.

Shan Liuli looked back at Hua Wuque and He Lu, and extended an invitation: "How about together?"

Hua Wuque smiled and said: "Naturally, Hua decided to stay with Miss Li on this trip. However, Miss Li needs to talk more about the current world. You should know that Hua and He Lu are very concerned about the current situation. Little is known."

Shan Liuli nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you all about it on the way to Chang'an."

After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Chen Yue was puzzled, "Does this world still need to be explained?"

Shan Liuli looked sideways at Chen Yue, and explained for Hua Wuque and He Lu: "Their masters and servants hide from the world, and they hardly go out in the Jianghu, so they don't understand the current situation in the world. This is their first entry into the Jianghu. On the way, I also heard me mention some of the current situation in the world, so I decided to go with me and do my best."

Chen Yue nodded and said, "I see."

Mu Xuanying nodded along beside him, now he somewhat understands why the temperament of these two people is so out of this world, because they hide from the outside world too thoroughly.
