Chapter 12: The Eunuch Picks Flowers

  I was furious as soon as I heard it: "Damn, he's asking for death, even daring to touch my woman, this one hasn't -" I just wanted to say "good-for-nothing", but thinking of Xiaofuzi still by my side, I hastily changed my words: "This good-for-nothing who almost lost his head, how come he's acting recklessly as soon as he escaped with his life?"

  The swallow said anxiously: "Hurry up and think of a way to save people, or it will be too late!"

  I said to Xiaofuzi: "You immediately take my golden token, and let the Nine Gate Commander Ronglun go rescue people right away. Tell him that I want my beloved concubine to live!"

  Xiao Fu Zi hurriedly ran away.

  I rushed into the inner room and said: "Fei, watch the house, Yan'er come with me, quickly change into night-traveling clothes, cover your face, don't reveal our tracks!"

  I and Swallow hastily changed our clothes, each carrying a precious sword, went out of the door and flew onto the rooftop.

  Damn, having lightness skill is awesome, flying back and forth on the rooftops, in a moment we arrived at a hutong on Fuyou Street. I've only heard that Li Lianying's house is located on Fuyou Street in this hutong, but exactly which one I don't know, no choice, we two flew from rooftop to rooftop, searching house by house. Fortunately, the night was already deep, and basically all households had extinguished their lights, and there weren't many large families, this hutong wasn't long either, after searching over a dozen houses, we finally found the place.

  This is a meticulously decorated mansion with water features, flower beds, corridors and winding paths, bamboo groves and artificial hills, it's obvious that the owner is a millionaire.

  All the other houses had gone dark, but one of the central rooms was still lit. We flew down and quietly approached the window with the light on, hearing a humming noise inside.

  I wet a piece of window paper with my saliva, and gently poked a small hole in it. Through the hole, I saw that the house was very large, with a big bed placed right in front, covered with an embroidered quilt. A girl was tied up on the bed, struggling desperately, with a white handkerchief stuffed into her mouth. The muffled sounds were her cries for help.

  Looking at her slender and prominent figure, and that beautiful face that makes people's hearts move, I knew, this is my third wife! Damn, really damn bold, actually offending the emperor's head, what kind of audacity is this? Fortunately, she hasn't been harmed yet, otherwise, how would I comfort my little darling?!

  Behind us stood a small eunuch, holding a knife in his hand. Seeing the young lady making a fuss, he slapped her on the back with the flat side of the blade: "What are you yelling about? Are you trying to get our Master Li to open your mouth? Hurry up and wait for our Master Li to finish serving the old lady before coming to flirt with you! Don't think that just because you're a thousand-jin young lady, you're any different from the old lady - you're both playthings of Master Li. Once Master Li has had enough of your sweet water below, he'll have someone make your belly big, and then drink the water above, and once he's had enough, he'll sell you to a brothel. You'll never see that foolish emperor again in this lifetime! Damn it, you're so impatient, be honest, even if you hurry, you can't surpass the old lady!" After finishing speaking, he actually burst out laughing.

  I really couldn't listen anymore, and I wanted to rush in with my sword. Yanzai pulled me back, she quietly opened the door and slipped inside, instantly knocking out the little eunuch.

  The swallow picked up the little eunuch and said, "You take a look, this house should be his bedroom, see if there is his treasury, I'll go interrogate him!" After finishing speaking, she carried that little eunuch into another room beside.

  I was stunned at this point, because the jade pendant in my arms had become scorching hot. I looked carefully for half a day and saw that there was a painting on the wall in front of me. I tore off the painting, and inside, there was indeed a small hidden door. I pried open the door, damn it! Inside, there was a small iron box. I picked up the iron box, and the jade pendant in my arms became even hotter. It must be this thing! However, it didn't feel very heavy when I weighed it in my hand. What kind of treasure could it be that would make the jade pendant so hot? Never mind, don't waste the guidance of the jade pendant. I still put it back into my arms.

  I recall those heroes in TV dramas, after they finished their tasks, they would write a few words on the wall, how cool! Damn it, coincidentally, his stationery is complete, so I'll leave some words too, to show off my prowess!

  I picked up a brush and with one stroke of my hand, I wrote twenty characters. After finishing, I tilted my head to look at it for half a day. Ha! Grandpa is quite awesome too!

  I softly chanted: "You seduced someone's daughter, I'll take your silver, and if you dare to offend me again, I'll chop off your neck!"

  Sounds like a heroic tone! What's the plan? Ah, there's this guy Yanzi Li San on TV, let's be Eagle King, more powerful than him! Haha, let them search for us then!

  That little girl stared at me with her big, bright eyes as I wrote, a smile spreading across her face. When she saw that I had finished writing, she began to cry out again, and I quickly pulled her over to untie the knot while whispering, "Don't cry, be careful not to let them hear!"

  The girl nodded obediently. Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished explaining to her, she suddenly knelt down in front of me and said in a low voice: "This humble woman thanks the great Master Wan for saving my life!"

  I was startled. I had my face covered, how did she figure it out? Mother's... this isn't the time for you to recognize your husband. If this gets out that the Emperor is a masked thief, it'll be chaotic!

  "I put on a rough tone and said: 'Miss, you've got the wrong person, hurry up and get up, let's go with us quickly!'"

  The girl still didn't get up, using her sweet and gentle voice to say: "I've smelled your scent, Your Majesty. As soon as you came in, I knew it was you. Your figure, your voice, your temperament, all of them are just like the one who loves him, gave him a jade pendant, and wants to grow old with him, the great Emperor!"

  Damn it, why is she a woman with a dog nose? I pulled her arm and shouted loudly, then put her on my back.

  Wow, that softness, that faint body scent, that warm body, how is it the same feeling as carrying Fei'er on my back that day?

  The swallow had finished off the little eunuch. She was wiping the blood off her sword with a rag, saying: "Damn it, disgusting!"

  I heard a commotion outside and hastily said: "Quickly leave, they've arrived! It's not the time to kill the dog yet!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged Yan'er and rushed outside. Just as they flew onto the rooftop, they heard someone shouting from below: "There's a flying thief on the roof, surround him!" Next, six or seven black-clad men with swords appeared on the rooftop.

  I raised my sword and said in a low voice: "Girl, hold me tight, I have to start killing!"

  That girl was really obedient, and her two arms immediately wrapped tightly around my neck, while her two slender legs also wrapped around my waist like an octopus.

  I turned back to Yan Er and said: "I'll cover you, you retreat first!"

  Who would have thought that the little wife who didn't know life or death actually leaned towards me and whispered, "You go first, I'll talk alone!"

  "Listen, you leave and I'll be fine!"

  At this time, several thugs had already surrounded us. I let out a loud roar: "You punks! Watch how the Eagle King teaches you a lesson!" With my sword at the ready, I charged forward.

  In that world, I had used guns, practiced knives, wielded a seven-section whip, but the only thing I hadn't practiced was swords. However, this wasn't the time for modesty, so I brought out all the moves of Tai Chi swordsmanship that I knew, and surprisingly managed to hold my own.

  Swallows are even more powerful than me, a sword that can kill the wind and rain, and in an instant, they took down two thugs! Damn it, this little girl is actually practicing swordsmanship, no wonder she's so obsessed with martial arts!

  As soon as the swallow swooped down, those people didn't dare to come any closer. I took advantage of the momentum and swung my hand at the remaining people with a "Boom!" sound. Several people were blown to the ground by the air wave. I pulled the swallow and said "Let's go!" The two of us instantly disappeared into the dark night.

  The little girl got excited, stuck her small face to mine, and whispered into my ear: "Master Wan is so handsome! He has captivated me! I'm so happy, today wasn't a waste of suffering, I got to see Master Wan's magnificence!"

  Following the girl's directions, we wound our way to the main gate of the Chang Mansion. I set her down and whispered, "Knock on the door! Don't make any wild guesses, don't tell anyone who rescued you. If you do, your troubles will be even greater, and no one will be able to save you then!"

  The girl stared at me with wide eyes, nodding obediently: "I know, I was saved by the Eagle King! I'm looking forward to the day when I can be by the Emperor's side! I don't want to leave the Emperor again!"

  I saw that soldiers were already running from a distance, knowing that the Nine Gates Commander had sent people to rescue them. I pulled Yan'er and flew up onto the big wall on the side, and we ran along the roof ridge.

  Back in the palace, Fei'er was pacing back and forth anxiously. As soon as she saw us rushing up to her, she threw herself into my arms and burst into tears: "Why did you take so long? I was worried to death! Next time, I'm not staying home no matter what, I'll follow you guys wherever you go!"

  I patted her little butt and said: "Don't cry, your little face will be all tear-stained and won't look good!"

  Faye wiped away her tears and asked: "Has the person been rescued?"

  I said dejectedly: "The person was rescued, but that girl somehow grew a dog nose and recognized me. No matter what I say, she doesn't believe me!"

  Fei'er burst out laughing: "That's what they call a lover's sixth sense! So why haven't you brought her back yet? You exhaust us to death every day, and it wouldn't kill you to have one more, would it?"

  I got angry and slapped her a few more times: "Do you take me for a breeding horse?"

  Fei'er said strangely: "Isn't he a eunuch? How can he still pick flowers?"

  The swallow said: "I'm also weird, just interrogated the little eunuch for half a day, damn it, disgusting to death, he used his big tongue to ruin the girl's body!"

  Before she could finish speaking, Fei covered her mouth and ran out. I and Yan didn't know what happened, so we rushed out to chase after her. We saw Fei hugging a big tree, vomiting with great relish!

  I said in a puzzled tone: "What's going on? Just talking about it makes me want to vomit. If I saw it, wouldn't I have fainted from fright?"

  The swallow came up and kicked me: "It's all your fault, why don't you go care about it!"

  I spread out my hands: "Are you still talking nonsense? You're talking about disgusting things and blaming me for it?"

  The swallow came over and pinched my ear: "You're stupid, she's pregnant!" As soon as she finished speaking, she almost vomited and hurriedly covered her mouth to run over and hug a big tree, vomiting loudly.

  What's going on? What's happening? I still haven't woken up from my dream! I rushed into the house to get water, just as I picked it up, I suddenly remembered: "There are kids! They all have kids!" Damn, I'm stupid enough, I should have thought of it earlier! We've been together for almost two months, but not once have I seen them come over!

  I was so excited that I lost control, rushed out and hugged the two of them: "Great, my great general is really powerful, one shot and both treasures opened at the same time!"

  She was so angry that she and her companion turned around, each pinching one of my ears, dragging me into the house, pushing me onto the bed, and punching me! Ah, murdering one's own husband, wanting the child to be born without a father?

  After being infatuated for a while, Yan Er suddenly remembered: "You took his money? Were you so busy being affectionate with the woman that you forgot to take out the money?"

  Damn it, what a sour taste! Just looking at her with my son's share makes me not want to recognize her! I pulled out a small box from my arms: "There's only this small box inside, no big deal!"

  Fei hurriedly rushed over, took out her sword and pried it open. Inside, there were four pea-sized pearls emitting a soft green glow.

  "Night Pearl?" We both shouted out loud at the same time, each of us picked one up to take a look; damn it, is this thing really that valuable?

  The swallow also said: "It's just like a glass ball, nothing special."

  Fei'er suddenly shouted out in surprise.
