Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 429: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 25

*

No one knew when Lu Jingzhi appeared. Yun Wu thought it was the onlookers when she heard the footsteps, but she didn't expect it to be Lu Jingzhi.

He was still wearing a crimson official uniform and an official hat on his head, which made him look more solemn. His handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes was particularly beautiful.

Yue Sangning and the people watching around also noticed Lu Jingzhi and quickly knelt down to salute him.

"Greetings, young marquis!"

Yun Wu was shocked by such a big scene. Everyone knelt down to salute, but she was the only one who stood out from the crowd.

But the little mermaid had stayed in the palace for so many days after coming ashore and had never learned any etiquette.

Yun Wu followed their movements somewhat stiffly and bent down to kneel down.

However, Lu Jingzhi reached out his hand and helped her up. Facing everyone, he still held Yun Wu's hand and said:

"No need to be so polite, everyone. His Majesty has already appointed a new county governor, who will arrive in Liangzhou City soon."

The people had been worried about the problem of being leaderless these past few days, but now they were completely relieved after hearing this, and they all whispered and praised Lu Jingzhi for his efforts to benefit the people.

Lu Jingzhi was still holding Yun Wu's hand, and when he looked down, he found something wrong.

"When did you injure your hand?"

Yun Wu looked down and saw a scratch on the lower part of her palm.

"I walked too fast on the way to breakfast this morning and accidentally fell..."

She said in a weak voice that it was just a scratch and she didn't care at all, but now it seems that the scar is a little darker in color.

Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly, then in front of everyone, he lifted Yun Wu up by the waist and let her sit on the horse Xueju behind him.

Du Zhong and Du Song, who were watching from behind, were stunned.

"Today is the day when the former county magistrate and others will be executed. Come back to the palace with me. Don't stop and watch, or you'll dirty your eyes."

Lu Jingzhi spoke in a low voice and adjusted the stirrups for Yun Wu with quick movements. Then he led Xue Ju back towards the palace.

Yun Wu turned around on her horse and said goodbye to Yue Sangning. It seemed that she would have to go to her house to eat fish noodles next time.

The young and handsome marquis was leading the horse, and sitting on the horse was a beautiful girl.

Such a scene made countless people around envious. After they walked away, the conversation became louder.

"Young Marquis Lu and his wife have a really good relationship."

"Yes, the Marquis' wife is really beautiful. I heard that they were childhood sweethearts."

"That's a really good story!"

Yue Sangning couldn't help feeling ashamed when listening to what the aunts around him said.

Rumors spread quickly in Liangzhou City. The first version was that Lu Jingzhi was Yun Wu's savior.

The second version is that Yun Wu is Lu Jingzhi's fiancée, but now it has evolved into a story that Lu Jingzhi and Yun Wu are already married, and they are childhood sweethearts who are deeply in love with each other.

Inside the palace, Yun Wu was sitting on a soft couch in the bedroom, while Lu Jingzhi in front of her was applying ointment to the abrasion on her palm.

He lowered his eyes with an extremely serious look, and gently applied medicine to the wound on her palm.

"Next time, just ask Qingluo to bring breakfast to the bedroom. There's no need to rush to the main hall. If you fall more seriously, I'm afraid the palace will be covered with pearls."

Lu Jingzhi's voice was light, but what he was thinking in his heart was that it would be great if he could keep his Awu by his side all the time.

She was sometimes dazed and he was always worried about her.

"I just woke up this morning and didn't see you, so I wanted to go find you. I wasn't fully awake yet, so I didn't see the road clearly, and I fell..."

Yun Wu muttered, but Lu Jingzhi exaggeratedly applied a lot of ointment on the small wound on the palm of her hand.

She suddenly thought of Lord Tang whom she had just seen on the street, and then she couldn't help but say:

"I just saw Lord Tang. His arms and eyes... were really scary..."

"I hurt you."

Lu Jingzhi said lightly, carefully wrapping Yun Wu's palm with a soft cloth, then raised his eyes and said:

"He once captured you and your people. I will avenge you. Today they will be beheaded. No one will capture mermaids again in the future."

"Thank you, young marquis..."

Yun Wu's voice was weak and her eyes trembled, but when she saw the miserable look of Lord Tang who was missing an arm and an eye, she was not afraid of Lu Jingzhi at all.

She seemed to have never seen him hurting or killing anyone with her own eyes. Maybe it was because he was afraid that she would think he was cruel?

Yun Wu shook her head to herself. She was a good mermaid who knew the difference between good and evil clearly. She would definitely not think that Lu Jingzhi was a bad person because of this.

"I'm going to go out on a patrol in a boat later. Do you want to come with me?"

Lu Jingzhi raised his eyes and said, the crimson official uniform on his body made him look more solemn.

Going out to sea...

Yun Wu blinked, was stunned at first, and then nodded quickly.

Lu Jingzhi didn't say anything else, but just stood up and walked towards Yun Wu.

Then he stretched out his slender hand to gently support Yun Wu's face, and he bent down and kissed her.

Just such a simple action made Yun Wu's cheeks blush. She quickly looked around and fortunately there was no one else in the hall.

In the afternoon, Lu Jingzhi changed into casual clothes and took Yun Wu out to the sea on a boat.

Since it was the young marquis's trip, he took the best boat, and there were not many people patrolling the coast.

Lu Jingzhi and others were discussing official business at the bow, while Yun Wu was sitting alone at the stern.

She hadn't been back to the sea for a long time. She looked down at the sea water with a dazed look in her eyes.

All she had to do was jump in, and she would be able to restore her fish tail and swim back to the bottom of the sea.

But from now on, maybe I will never see Lu Jingzhi again, never again...

Yun Wu was obviously a little hesitant, sitting on the edge of the boat with her head in her hands, looking a little distressed.

Suddenly, she saw some bubbles rising from the calm sea surface in front of her, and in a flash, two blurry figures swam out of the sea and broke through the water.

Yun Wu's eyes lit up and she looked a little surprised as she looked at the old merman woman and the little merman boy who emerged from the water.

"Why are you here!"

She lowered her voice. She knew both the mermaid grandmother and the mermaid boy. The mermaid boy was captured together with her.

Later, she asked Yue Sangning's grandmother to help put him back into the sea.

"Sister, are you injured?"

The young mermaid boy swam over and lay beside the boat and asked worriedly.

Yun Wu quickly shook her head to indicate that she was fine. In their mermaid tribe, they would call any older mermaid women "Sister".

The mermaid sighed, looked around to see if anyone had come, and then asked quickly:

"I heard that you, Xiaoyun, were captured by mortals? Are you hurt? Quick! Jump down now while there is no one around!"

Yun Wu heard the familiar Northeastern accent of the mermaid grandmother.

It is said that she swam here from the northeast. She is the oldest and most knowledgeable, and she knows a lot.
