Chapter 132: The Calamitous Demon
(Leaving in the afternoon, today's two chapters are combined and posted together)
Song Jiayu left, leaving Wu Yuan alone, sitting there in a daze.
All of this came so suddenly, the queen's confession had him trapped. Now that it's come to this, how would he explain things to Yu Xianhe after returning?
Alas, this is a very embarrassing question, Wu Yuan couldn't think of a solution for the time being. In fact, he wasn't someone who was used to getting a free ride, it's just that at that moment, he was somewhat at a loss. Having come to this world, at first, he did things according to his training on Earth, but later with live broadcasts added in, he became more cautious, and now without the Eye of Providence, what should he do?
"Wu Mei Niang, you have bewitched and misled our ruler, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Suddenly, Wu Yuan heard a loud roar from behind, turned his head to see that it was Song Jia Yu's sister Song Qingfeng. Compared to Song Jia Yu's elegance and nobility, she had three more points of heroic spirit and her figure was even more stunning. She glared at Wu Yuan with a face full of anger, using an eye gaze as if looking at a dead man.
How did this woman get in?
Wu Yuan felt a chill in his heart, but soon came to understand that letting Song Qingfeng enter was the only possibility, as Song Jia Yu's loyal and devoted bodyguard, the three-nothing girl would naturally consider Song Jia Yu when she encountered danger.
Just like a loyal minister would advise the emperor to kill off the treacherous minister, Sanwu felt that Wu Yuan was a scourge and so, for Song Jiayu's own good, she let Song Qingfeng in.
But was she here to kill Wu Yuan or persuade Wu Yuan for Song Jia Yu's own good to leave Song Jia Yu?
"Is it Qingfeng girl?"
Wu Yuan furrowed his brow and looked at her, neither fearful nor servile. He just calmly looked at Song Qingfeng.
"It's me. Wu Mei Niang, what do you want to say?"
Looking at Wu Yuan's calm expression, Song Qingfeng's momentum dropped a bit. She had thought that a rural village girl would either be scared stiff or try every means to beg for mercy when seeing her.
But who would have thought, Wu Yuan didn't show any fear at all. On the contrary, he seemed very calm.
"What? Of course I have something to say. You gave me a sword today, and I still remember it in my heart. Qingfeng girl killed people for no reason, is there any justice?"
"I..."
It was clear that the person in front of her had very low martial arts skills, and she could have taken care of her with just one move. However, for some reason, Song Qingfeng's aura was suppressed by the person in front of her.
The maid empire is a world that attaches great importance to hierarchy, and there are very few women who can be so calm in front of her.
She gritted her teeth. Song Qingfeng sat in front of Wu Yuan, speaking in a voice as cold as frost: "I'll give you the time it takes to burn an incense stick to explain. What exactly is going on between you and your sister?"
"What does it mean?"
Wu Yuan looked at the woman in front of him, who bore a three-point resemblance to Song Jiayu, and he also smiled. Actually, why explain? He hadn't done anything wrong, but rather the woman in front of him had stabbed him with a sword.
There was a pot of red tea on the table, and the four elders who were chatting were all good friends of Song Jiayu. They were Song Jiayu's staunch supporters in the Council of Elders and treated her like a sister in their daily lives.
The four of them surrounded Song Jiayu, earnestly advising her not to take the wrong path, that her road ahead was still long, and that the elder's decision to abolish her was just a warning, telling her not to give up on herself, as there were still many days ahead.
Listening to the advice of several elders, Song Jiayu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Alas, how do they know the goodness of men? They thought they were playing a game of seduction, so they were so painstakingly careful, but in fact, if they knew Wu Yuan's true identity, they would probably be even more eager than themselves.
Thirty-year-old female servants who still don't have a master are truly pitiful.
But in any case, she had to show respect for the elderly, otherwise they would be suspicious and see through her.
Forcing herself to be patient, Song Jiayu responded to the four elders' advice, but suddenly she felt a sense of unease.
That's not right!
The elderly are not concerned about whether they listen to advice or not, but rather find ways to hold themselves back. So, what is their goal?
Wu Yuan, can only be Wu Yuan!
Historical records tell of high-ranking officials in another world who had loyal subordinates, allowing them to kill and set fires without batting an eye, completing their tasks without hesitation.
However, the country of women is different. The maid's law code is the highest law, which stipulates the general rules for maids. In this case, although the nobles have extremely high power, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want, and their subordinates are the same, who will not unconditionally execute the orders of their superiors. There have been cases where a noble let his subordinate kill someone to silence them, but the subordinate thought this was not good, and the consequences would be even more severe, so he reported it to the authorities.
Song Jiayu had her subordinates protect Wu Yuan, but would those people make a similar move? In the past few days, whenever she and Wu Yuan went out together, the captain of the guard had advised against it several times, but she had ignored him. Now that she thought about it, something didn't feel right.
"Alright, I understand."
Mouthing words of compliance to the elderly's advice, Song Jiayu's body suddenly flipped backwards, wanting to leave as quickly as possible!
What if it was Song Qingfeng who handled Wu Yuan? What if she killed Wu Yuan!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Three fingers pointed at her three vital points, that was Xu Changlao's shocking divine finger, and at the same time, a palm technique of yin-yang harmony surrounded her.
"Good fish, don't be impatient, the elder will meet soon, and a resolution was passed recently to let you rest for a few days."
The four elders in the room simultaneously took action, with hundreds of years of power, tightly pinning Song Jia Yu down.
"You can't be letting Song Qingfeng go kill Wu Meiniang, are you?"
The four elders did not respond, for Song Jia Yu's offensive was too fierce. The Dragon Tiger Great Nine Styles were being unleashed in her hands. And there was no need to respond either, since they had made their move, they would first subdue Song Jia Yu before anything else.
Almost at the same time, eight other elders appeared beside Song Jiayu.
At this time, whether it was those who supported Song Jiayu or those who disliked her, everyone only had one thought. Subdue Song Jiayu first. Don't let her go crazy!
Song Jiayu also understood this point. The mountain villa was full of her people, but even if she told them to come over, they would be stopped by the captain of the guard, or rather, these twelve elders joining forces could subdue her within three moves!
"You bastards!"
Song Jiayu was so angry that her teeth were almost shattered, she had good intentions for them. As a result, these people kept coming to make trouble! At this time, even with countless means, it must be made clear in the shortest possible time, otherwise, after being subdued by them and Wu Yuan fell into their hands, it would be even more troublesome.
"Quickly send someone to stop Song Qingfeng, Wu Meiniang is different from us, she has the consciousness of independent innovation!"
"What?"
At this moment, all the elders in the field were shocked, and Song Jiayu actually said such a thing?
"I'm not going to deceive you on this one. She found a way to solve the gold and silver crisis, the problem of insufficient liquidity!"
When saying these words, Song Jiayu's heart was bleeding. The feeling was as if she had to reveal that she owned a gold mine, and then... even if the gold mine was small, countless people would come to surround and explore it, and everyone would frantically dig and dig to see what kind of taste this gold mine had.
After burning one stick of incense.
Song Qingfeng no longer had any intention of killing him and instead felt somewhat close to Wu Yuan.
She had made preparations to torment this little villain severely when she came, but who would have thought that after seeing Wu Yuan, things didn't go as planned.
Wu Yuan was not only bold and daring, but also very intelligent - this intelligence was accompanied by a kind of spiritual energy. When the empire selected officials or promoted subordinates, it first looked at whether the other party had spiritual energy.
Diligence, bravery and dedication are virtues that every girl possesses, but girls with a lively spirit are rare.
The Song family produced several female emperors because the women of the Song family were full of spiritual energy, to the point where many people praised them, saying that if the women of the Song family continued to evolve, they might break through the limitations of the two great masters and possess creative power.
The aura is what the Song family girls are most proud of. Song Qingfeng did not expect to see it on the woman in front of her.
Okay, it's not just the aura that's not enough, this girl has something even more wonderful. She came to Wu Yuan's side and found that he seemed to have a strange attraction. That feeling had never happened on any other girl before, Wu Yuan's body smelled very good, although it wasn't like lavender or other fragrances, but an indescribable scent that was very attractive.
Thus, Song Qingfeng, who had come in anger, found himself unexpectedly drawn to this girl.
She was wrong at first, stabbed Wu Yuan with a sword, she clearly expressed her anger, but did not lose control because of this matter, and still talked to him calmly.
Originally, I only planned to give her a brief moment of attention, but unexpectedly, the more we talked, the more interesting it became. This girl was neither arrogant nor humble, calm and composed, and her demeanor made me admire her greatly.
"Are you saying I lost to Jia Yu because she's worse than me?"
"Green Frost Maiden, governing the country has nothing to do with one's personal virtues. On the contrary, those who can use tactics and strategy are the ones the country needs. Your mother made no mistake in her choice; she would make a better queen than you."
For example, as you mentioned earlier, handling military pay...
Wu Yuan didn't have a good impression of Song Qingfeng, but at this time, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke her to seek death. He calmly chatted with Song Qingfeng as if she wasn't someone who wanted to harm him.
After arriving in the Western Liang Women's Country, Wu Yuan found that the girls here were all very good, even the high-ranking women became simple because of being in this crystal-like transparent environment.
Song Qingfeng is a very nice and simple girl, she is more about executing her own ideas, even if it's a small trick or conspiracy, Wu Yuan can see through it at a glance.
Having such a sister, who wouldn't want to tease her?
While chatting with her, Wu Yuan also learned some of Song Jiayu's dark past from her mouth.
For example, Song Jiayu was born to be luxurious and greedy for pleasure, taxed fiercely, and was treacherous. These black histories were known by Wu Yuan, and the good impression left on Wu Yuan by Song Jiayu at first was mostly fake, and many words were also deceptive.
For example, the female servant said that there were 200 million people in Western Liang, but in fact, there were only about 100 million. The population of Western Liang was only 30 million. She exaggerated the numbers just to intimidate Wu Yuan and prevent him from having other ideas. This even included Song Jiayu being affectionate with Wu Yuan on one hand, while gathering troops on the other.
"By the way, what's going on between you and your sister?"
Song Qingfeng thought for a moment and asked again.
"I'm from the countryside. Nothing's going on with your sister, really."
Wu Yuan had nothing more to say and once again expressed his lack of interest in lilies.
"That day, she deceived me and made me very angry, so I pressed her on my knees and spanked her, nothing else happened, Qingfeng sister, spanking the king's butt, will you lose your head?"
Slap the king's butt. Of course, you'll lose your head, but the question is... The feelings between you and your sister, anyone who isn't blind can see it at a glance that day.
Look at Song Jiayu's desperation back then, look at her reaction. If you say there was no affair between the two people, I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me!
Chang took a deep breath, and Song Qingfeng was about to make his final decision.
When she came, she had made up her mind to kill or imprison her, but now she couldn't bring herself to do it.
What should I do? What can be done?
"Green frost, don't move your hands, don't move your hands!"
Just then, various screams came from outside the door, and soon a large group of beauties rushed in.
They gazed at Wu Yuan with shining eyes, as if they couldn't wait to hold him in the palm of their hands and examine what made him so extraordinary.
When a large group of women rushed in, Wu Yuan was treated like a national treasure. The beautiful women's hands and feet were not clean, and they kept touching Wu Yuan's face and chest. At this time, Wu Yuan really wanted to thank Song Jiayu for his foresight, the solid yang lock yuan technique made him not reveal any flaws.
Song Qingfeng was also somewhat bewildered, originally she was interrogating Wu Yuan, but unexpectedly the elders all rushed in here, pointing and gesturing at Wu Yuan.
"Jia Yu said, Wu Mei Niang has creativity, and she is different from us."
"What?"
Song Qingfeng was stunned by these words and stood there in a daze.
How important creativity is, all the maids in the dimension are well aware. After five hundred years of development, the maid dimension has a population of tens of billions and has accumulated countless problems. Many problems cannot be found in history books, the Western Liang Women's Country, no, all the girls in the dimension are confused and do not know what to do in the future, everyone needs a guide, an independent thinker to lead everyone out of trouble.
"Wait a minute, don't rush, don't rush!"
Kuang Shi Bo burst into the room with several of his men, holding a manuscript written by Song Jia Yu.
They took out paper and pen, and began to quickly transcribe. Soon, each of the twelve female elders had a copy of Wu Yuan's financial proposal for issuing paper currency in their hands, and Song Qingfeng also had one.
"Empress Wu, is this what you wanted?"
The speaker was Kuang Shibao, the elegant and beautiful Minister of Finance, her face flushed bright red. She had never thought that the financial crisis could be resolved so easily, and the method used by the person in front of her was so wonderful and unbelievable.
"Don't scare her."
The speaker was Song Jiayu, who walked in from outside the door and then stared fiercely at the elder in the field, as well as Song Qingfeng.
"Mei Niang has never seen a foreigner since she was young, and she is very afraid of getting along with foreigners. What if she gets a headache or fever, you can't afford it!"
Song Jiayu said, blocking Wu Yuan with her body, then wrote in his hand: "Express that I am your only one, you can't leave me, you only love me, let them bless our love."
It's indeed the most venomous heart of a woman. At this time, she was still playing tricks, Song Jia Yu's cryptic words made Wu Yuan curse, he didn't want to do so, then he wrote: To what extent? Hoarse from shouting? Not dead not resigned or...
"Just pretend to be simple, don't let these fox spirits see through your disguise."
Song Jiayu said in an angry tone, she exposed Wu Yuan's creativity, which was equivalent to making a lot of trouble, but Wu Yuan wasn't quite aware of it yet.
"Your Majesty!"
The Minister of Finance nearby said in an urgent and anxious tone, everyone is waiting to hear Wu Yuan's innovation on finance. This is indeed a good thing, being able to exchange paper for gold and silver, it can't get any better than this.
Stopping the Queen's interruption, Kaito spoke in his most polite tone and asked Wu Yuan: "Mei Niang, can you please explain what's going on above?"
This thing can't be thought of by Her Majesty the Queen, if she could do it, she wouldn't leave the capital, but would be surrounded by everyone on the throne, and everyone would cheer for her, absolutely no thoughts would arise.
"Of course."
Chang took a deep breath, sat in front of the Minister of Finance and the elder, gazed at each face that was either beautiful, pure or elegant, then calmed down.
Just now and Song Jiayu's conversation was a joke, he is a big man, how can he do that?
He is a lucky man, having come to this world. This is a wonderful world where girls are all good, and daily behavior aside, even the darkest political struggles seem like children playing house to him.
These days, being with Song Jiayu, Wu Yuan has not leaked any intelligence from another world. This feeling is like coming to a passionate and hospitable indigenous tribe, but holding malicious intentions.
All sorts of conflicting emotions had been swirling inside Wu Yuan until just now, when Her Majesty the Queen had revealed her true feelings to him, suddenly making it clear what he should do.
Why not help the maids of this world? Is it just for the sake of the future Great Tang Empire to better invade or occupy this plane?
Why not work hard to make their lives better? If possible, Wu Yuan didn't even want others to disturb their peaceful life!
"In the lower Wu Yuan, it is Kou Tian Wu, not the martial arts Wu. Elders, the financial rules in your hands were drafted by me. If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them."
Wu Yuanting puffed out his chest, staring intently at the women in front of him. At this moment, he was wearing a pale blue long gown, androgynous clothing, plus the confidence he exuded, suddenly gave the women in the room a kind of illusion, or a flutter.
Most of them are women between the ages of 26 and 32, which is the most golden period in a woman's life. With their mental and physical maturity, they are like ripe fruit on the tree, ready to burst with juice at any moment. If a male hormone approaches, the ripe fruit cannot restrain its instincts, and the thick juice will break through the skin and drip down, emitting the sweetest temptation.
Wu Yuan just stood there, standing in a posture completely different from that of women. They were not clear what was going on, but it did not prevent them from feeling an unusual stimulation.
For hundreds of years, the girls in the Daughter Country were like princesses in an ivory tower, who had only heard of the legend of the prince but had never seen that handsome face. They looked forward to the arrival of the prince and dreamed of his appearance, again and again, time and time again.
This expectation has been deeply branded into their souls, waiting for an explosion one day.
Then, one day, a mysterious person suddenly appeared before them, giving them an irresistible shock. It was the mystical attraction between men and women, a kind of infatuation similar to love at first sight.
At this moment, more than half of the elders' faces turned red involuntarily, and everyone looked away, some not daring to look at Wu Yuan. Even the most courageous ones were secretly thinking in their hearts: "This Wu Mei Niang is indeed a demon who brings disaster to the country and its people! No wonder Song Jia Yu couldn't hold himself back!"
