Yue Fusheng walked past him. He struck a match and lit the stove fire, then skillfully boiled water and chopped vegetables.
"I'll bring it over when it's done."
Hearing this, Ye Yue thought it was just Yue Fusheng's way of saying he was in the way.
The empty sleeve swayed with his movements. Ye Yue still had some impression of this severed arm.
This man used to be so imposing. Now he was disabled, but there seemed to be no trace of humility on him. Instead, he was more composed than before.
If he still had both arms, Ye Yue really wanted to have a fight with him.
He leaned against the door and watched the whole process of Yue Fusheng cooking. This man seemed not to notice his presence at all. He calmly scooped out a bowl of steaming scallion and egg noodles from the pot.
Originally, Ye Yue wanted to take it and send it to Tang Youyou, but then he changed his mind.
He saw Yue Fusheng steadily holding the tray with one hand and coming to Tang Youyou's door.
"What's this? It smells so good!"
The aroma wafted into her nose, making her swallow involuntarily.
Seeing that it was Yue Fusheng, Tang Youyou quickly got up to take it. "You made this?"
Seeing Yue Fusheng nodding, she slapped him on the shoulder like a brother.
"I didn't know you had such good cooking skills. I'm starving."
Saying that, she couldn't hold back any longer. She picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. After taking a bite, her empty stomach finally got some comfort.
Seeing her eating happily, Yue Fusheng showed a faint smile.
The two of them walked out of the door. Yue Fusheng took a step forward and said in a low voice, "You must protect Youyou well."
Ye Yue gave him a suspicious look. "Naturally."
"I've heard that the Mo Clan has been in great turmoil recently. If Youyou gets unnecessary harm because of this, I won't hand her over to you."
"How did you know?"
Yue Fusheng snorted. "Don't look down on me. I still have some connections in this part of the Central Plains."
"Don't worry. Our master won't let her get any harm."
"That's good."
Looking at the moonlight, Ye Yue thought that it should be almost over there. After this night, the Mo Clan would no longer exist in this world.
Lin Sheng was thrown into the darkness. She struggled, but her hands and feet were tightly tied, and she couldn't see anything.
For a moment, the fear in her heart was magnified infinitely. She endured the tremor and tried not to lose her mind.
"Who are you?"
No one answered her question. It was extremely quiet around. She could only hear a sound of footsteps gradually moving away from her.
She wanted to grab this person and ask clearly, but her body couldn't move forward.
"Speak up! Who on earth are you? Where is Mo Lingxuan?"
Suddenly, Lin Sheng completely broke down. It was impossible, absolutely impossible!
Who on earth had such a deep hatred for them?
She couldn't figure it out. If they wanted to kill to silence, why didn't they just kill her too?
But at this moment, she had no way to think about these things. Her mind was filled with fear and helplessness.
...
In the past few days, Tang Youyou noticed that there were many more Hu people on the street. Most of them came from the border of the Xia Kingdom.
These people looked similar to foreigners and all had a bit of exotic charm.
"Are you blind!"
A gorgeously dressed girl in front pushed a little girl to the ground.
That little girl was quite stubborn. She quickly got up from the ground and said angrily to the girl, "It was you who bumped into me. I've been standing here without moving! It's you who are blind!"
Seeing the little girl talking back, the Hu girl slapped her. The little girl's mouth was bleeding instantly.
"Beat her up!"
Several men and women with her all stepped forward and punched and kicked the little girl.
"That's too much!"
Tang Youyou really couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she was about to step forward to save the girl, she felt a gust of wind blowing past her.
She only saw a vague figure. Chui Feng had already appeared in front of them before she knew it.
She quickly knocked out those Hu people one by one. She was so fast that no one had time to react.
Ye Yue smiled and said, "Miss doesn't need to do it herself. It's enough for me and Chui Feng."
The arrogant Hu girl was instantly stunned on the spot.
After Chui Feng finished her job, she disappeared without a trace again.
"She's really amazing."
Seeing this scene, Tang Youyou couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer.
This lightness kung fu was really superb. With such a master by her side, she felt that she didn't need to be afraid of anything.
Moreover, she usually couldn't feel Chui Feng's presence at all. Only at this moment would she suddenly appear out of nowhere, which really surprised people.
The little girl who was rescued wanted to bow and thank them, but the people had already disappeared.
"How dare you!"
The Hu girl pointed at Tang Youyou's nose and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Why wouldn't I dare? This is not the place for you barbarians to act wildly! This still belongs to the Great Ming Kingdom. Get out of here!"
Tang Youyou was suspicious of the appearance of these Hu people. It seemed that they had a purpose.
"Go and check these people."
Ye Yue then assigned this task to Chui Feng who was hiding in the dark. This matter also needed to be reported to the master.
"I think these people are coming for this Great Water Bay. Maybe their target is this town that is like spring all year round."
She had read in a book before that the situation of the Xia Kingdom was similar to that of modern - day Russia. Although the territory was large enough, many places were not suitable for living, and the arable land was less than that of the Great Ming.
Their actions were undoubtedly an attempt to drive out the local people and occupy the cities and territory of the Great Ming.
Rong Jiangyu saw Tang Youyou standing up for the weak on the roadside from afar. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Your Majesty, when can we finally let the people of our Great Xia move here? Everyone can't wait any longer," Lan Erhuk said.
"What's the hurry? This place will be yours sooner or later. Did you let all these Hu people in?"
"They've been waiting for too long. If they wait any longer, they'll lose their patience. These people are all on good terms with me, so I let them come."
A flash of dissatisfied anger passed through Rong Jiangyu's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
"This is not a good time yet. If the local residents unite to resist, you won't be able to handle it."
"What are you afraid of? Which one of us in the Xia - Hu Clan isn't strong and powerful? It's a piece of cake for us to deal with them!"
Tang Youyou heard a burst of laughter and looked in the direction of the sound. Unexpectedly, it was them.
She tried to avoid them, but that Rong Jiangyu seemed to have guessed her mind and deliberately blocked her way.
"Where are you going?" he said with a big smile on his face.
"To where I need to go, of course."
She tried to get past him again and again, but he followed her every time.
"Are you crazy?"
Tang Youyou suddenly got angry and shouted at him, "Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the way? Get out of the way!"
