Chapter 41: The Most Beautiful Maid

  This little maid is no less beautiful than Ming Yu, if she wears the clothes of a princess, she will definitely be more beautiful than Princess Ming Yu.

  Jin's forehead was covered in big beads of sweat. Just now, he had been so startled that he hadn't noticed the person approaching, and the master and apprentice had spoken back and forth, actually revealing their entire plan to secretly release Zhou Xuanzhang.

  Liu Buzhen, as a second-grade official and commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Navy, was also Li Hongzhang's favorite disciple. Upon learning of Zhen's plan to secretly release Zhou Xuanzhang, how could he let it go easily?

  Liu Buxian said coldly: "So, sir, are you planning to disobey Li Zhongtang's order and let Zhou Xuanzhang go?"

  "Absolutely not!" Jin gritted his teeth and denied it: "I just wanted to have a drink with Xiangzhang, to reminisce about our teacher-student relationship, this... the last supper."

  "What's the use of a hemp rope when one has already formed an attachment?" Sakura asked.

  "Bind Zhou Xuan Zhang, the two of you know that he is a man waiting for punishment." Jin had always been proud of his benevolence and righteousness, and had never told lies before. After telling a few lies, his face turned red with shame.

  Cherry chuckled and said, "Will the adults take off Zhou Xuanzhang's handcuffs and foot shackles, and then use a rope to tie him up? Is that not overdoing it? In the end, is the rope used to tie you or Zhou Xuanzhang?"

  "Th-th-this..." Jin Yan's eyes widened as he saw his plan exposed, unable to come up with an excuse, his face turned bright red, and he couldn't utter a word.

  Zhou Xuan Zhang glared at Sakura and said, "Miss Sakura, aren't you just going to cut off my head? Just do it already, why make things difficult for my master! He didn't really let me go anyway!"

  Zhou Xuanzhang's eyes blazed with fury, his face burning red like a cherry: "What are you looking at? You deserve this today! With those thieving eyes of yours, you dare to look at everything!"

  What Cherry said "thief eye" obviously has other meanings, Zhou Xuan Zhang is very embarrassed, sneaking a peek at Gege taking a bath, no matter what, it's not glorious, if Master Jin knew about this, this foolish husband would definitely be furious and wouldn't have gone to great lengths to save him tonight.

  "Go ahead and kill me if you want to, stop wasting words! I'm telling you now, if you kill me, I'll accept it! But if you still dare to mess with my master, I'll become a vengeful spirit..."

  "You..." Cherry's face turned bright red with anger: "Zhou Xuan Zhang, you've done something wrong and yet you scold others. Forget it, I won't save you. Let them chop off your head and see if you dare to glare at people with those thieving eyes!"

  "What? Cherry, you're going to save me!"

  "Kindness is being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs! I've changed my mind!" Cherry said, turning to leave.

  "Wait!" Zhou Xuan Zhang hastily jumped up and blocked Sakura's path.

  Geg's personal maid came to rescue Geg's arch-nemesis, which was unbelievable. However, at this moment, Zhou Xuanzhang saw that his own head was about to be taken away, and what's more serious was that it would also implicate the head of his benefactor, Jin. As long as there was a lifesaving straw, who cared about anything else?

  Zhou Xuanzhang knew that Cherry was Min Tiao's personal maid, and Min Tiao was a high-ranking official. If Min Tiao saw an official of a higher rank, her personal maid would see an official of a half-higher rank. Liu Buquan was also a high-ranking official, but he still had to buy face from Cherry. As long as Cherry said something, this matter could be easily settled.

  If the cherry blossom is let go, Liu Buqian can immediately hand over the two masters to Li Hongzhang for disposal!

  Zhou Xuan Zhang didn't care about his own head. He had already drowned once and been strangled to death once, what he was worried about was Jin's head.

  By now, Zhou Xuanzhang has thoroughly acknowledged this mentor! Although this mentor is full of empty words and etiquette, making people unbearable, in urgent situations, he will also say a few "damn it"s, which have a human touch.

  Chou Xuan Zhang blocked Sakura and hastily flattered her: "Thank you, Miss Sakura, for lending a helping hand. You are as kind-hearted as the clouds in the sky, generous with your wealth, and brave enough to stand up for justice. You are indeed the most beautiful maid in this world..."

  Cherry's face turned red with anger and she shouted: "Pah! A pair of thieving eyes and a rotten mouth!"

  Zhou Xuan Zhang said seriously: "Every word I say is sincere and true, not a single word is false. Although Cherry is only a maid, you are beautiful, brave, and just, although your occupation is lowly, this is just a different division of labor in the revolution... Your character is a hundred times more noble than that dogshit Gege..."

  "Shut up! Don't scold Gege!" Sakura shouted, her face flushing with embarrassment.

  Girls are born to love beauty and also like to compare beauty. Xiangyun is not inferior to Lin Daiyu in terms of appearance, but as a maid serving the princess, no matter how beautiful she looks, she will never receive praise from others. The reason is simple: praising a maid's beauty in front of the princess is simply asking for trouble!

  Now, Zhou Xuanzhang is full of praise for the cherry blossoms, not only saying that they are beautiful, but also exaggerating their character to the point where the cherry blossom's small face turns as red as a ripe apple, feeling very pleased with itself.

  "Not at all, no scolding," said Zhou Xuan Zhang: "Miss Sakura's character and appearance are so amazing, but she is so low-key, willing to be inferior, no complaints, no regrets, and has made extraordinary achievements in an ordinary position, which is a model for us to learn from!"

  Zhou Xuan Zhang used all the slang from the 21st century to save Jin.

  Cherry couldn't understand Zhou Xuanzhang's nonsense and said, "Don't say anything else, I'm asking you, this afternoon, why did you run to Gege's room? What do you want to do? Do you really want to...Gege..."

  "It's a huge injustice!" Zhou Xianzhang said: "How was I supposed to know she was a princess, if not for her taking off her clothes to bathe..."

  "Zhou Xuan Zhang! You, you, you... how could you do something so beastly?! I must have been blind to have taken you as a disciple. Why should I save you? If I had known earlier, I would have killed you with my own hands!"

  Jin burst forth like thunder and rushed to the wall, pulling out the precious sword hanging on the wall, and killed Zhou Xianzhang.

  That Jin is a loyal and upright guardian, who values the rules of propriety between men and women more than life itself! Zhou Xianzhang actually ran into Gege's boudoir while she was still bathing! In Jin's eyes, Zhou Xianzhang has completely crossed the line of human decency, becoming a shameless beast in human clothing!

  Jin had just risked his life to save Zhou Xuanzhang, but now he has made a one hundred and eighty degree turn in attitude, wielding his treasured sword to kill Zhou Xuanzhang himself.

  His master raised his treasured sword to kill, if it were a day ago, Zhou Xuan Zhang would have either fought back or fled in fright. But now, that Jin was like a kind father in Zhou Xuan Zhang's eyes!

  Zhou Xuan Zhang neither fled nor fought back, kneeling on both knees: "The student has angered the master! Humbly asking the master to behead!"

  Dying in Jin's hands, Zhou Xuanzhang was not only unafraid, but felt extremely happy.

  Jin raised his sword into mid-air, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bring himself to strike down his own disciple.

  Liu Buqian took a step forward, his wrist shook, and the precious sword in Jin's hand was already in Liu Buqian's hand.

  "Let's calm down for now. I think we should first figure out what he was trying to do by running into Gege's room," said Liu Buxian.

  He was so angry that his whole body trembled: "A man running into a girl's boudoir, what can he think of doing!"

  "It's not that simple," Liu Buxian said: "If it were an ordinary girl, this kid might have done something improper, but she is a princess!"

  "Ah?" Jin was shocked and asked: "Lord Liu, are you saying that he wants to assassinate Gege?"

  Na Jin suddenly became tense, and the embroidered grid was not ordinary. That was the emperor's sister! The old Buddha's niece! If this matter is not clarified, Na Jin's nine tribes are likely to lose their heads - Zhou Xianzhang is his student, he absolutely cannot get rid of the relationship!

  "Zhou Xianzhang, you ran into Gege's room, what are you going to do?" Jin asked hastily.

  Master above, student below, I have failed your teachings... actually, I just want to escape with my life!

  "Nonsense!" Jin angrily said: "You are my student, I am the principal of this school! Who wants to kill you? Who dares to kill you?"

  Zhou Xuanzhang's face turned red: "Master, it's you who wants to kill me!"

  "Fart! Why would I kill you? I'd rather kill my own proud disciple. I'm brain-damaged!"

  "Master, you forgot! You and Teacher Feng's bet!"

  "I haven't forgotten! Feng Guozhang ran fast, otherwise he would have lost his head to me!" Jin shouted.

  Until now, Jin still firmly believes that Qing and Japan cannot fight each other. This old man is really stubborn enough.

  Zhou Xuanzhang sighed, "Master is above, you are knowledgeable and learned, I admire you deeply. However, when it comes to fighting, you're not quite up to par. Master, our Qing dynasty and Japan are already at odds, within three years, or even just three months, war will inevitably break out!"

  Liu Buxian was shocked and asked sternly: "Zhou Xuanzhang, how did you know? This is the highest secret of the imperial court!"
