Chapter 411: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 7
*
The beautiful blue-green fish tail is shimmering in the bathing water and exudes a faint glow.
Yun Wu was a little confused, and suddenly she saw Qingluo next to the clothes rack was about to walk over, and she became a little panicked.
"do not come!"
"Miss Yun, what's wrong?"
Qingluo stood there, looking at her with a puzzled expression. The little head that popped out of the bathtub shook slightly, then lowered its body and said:
"No, nothing. I want to bathe a little longer. I can do it alone. You can go out first."
She said softly, and stretched out a hand from the bathtub and waved towards Qingluo.
Qingluo glanced slightly at the secret door behind the bookshelf beside her, then quickly lowered her head, bowed, and walked out.
Yun Wu then dared to stick her head out and looked at her fish tail in a somewhat helpless manner.
"Why did it change back again..."
Her eyes were slightly red, and the fish tail on her body swayed twice as if she was at a loss.
No wonder she noticed something was wrong when she first entered the water, but she didn't know that her legs would turn back into a fish tail after being in the water for a while.
Yun Wu thought of Lu Jingzhi, and quickly reached out to grab the edge of the bathtub and called him towards the main hall behind the secret door.
"Young Marquis, Young Marquis..."
She didn't dare call out too loudly, for fear that Qingluo was still waiting at the door. It would be troublesome if she discovered her fish tail today.
Yun Wu had only called out twice when Lu Jingzhi came over from the secret door.
He was wearing a black riding suit, which made him look tall and straight with picturesque features.
Yun Wu's eyes brightened a little. With slightly red eyes, she raised her head timidly, with most of her shoulders exposed from the water.
"Young Marquis, my legs have turned back into fish tails..."
"It seems that after touching the water, it will slowly return to its original state."
Lu Jingzhi's voice was low, and he raised his hand to take a clean robe from the hanger beside him.
Then, one hand quickly lifted Yun Wu out, and the other hand wrapped the outer robe around her.
Lu Jingzhi held Yun Wu like this, she was hanging in the air against the edge of the bathtub, her hands could only wrap around his neck tightly.
His slightly cool thin lips quickly pressed against hers, with a familiar cool fragrance.
Yun Wu was kissed until she was a little dazed, so he let go, and the fishtail in her robe turned back into legs.
She just sat on the edge of the bathtub, and Lu Jingzhi held her tightly.
His eyes were deep, he pursed his thin lips and leaned over to kiss her openly.
"Young Marquis, you have changed back."
Yun Wu's voice was weak, yet carried a hint of palpable joy.
"Ok, I know."
Lu Jingzhi said this, and then he carried Yun Wu to the bed with swift movements.
"The closer we are, the stronger it will be. Maybe it won't be so easy to change back next time."
He said lightly, and then slowly placed Yun Wu on the edge of the bed.
"So that's it..."
Yun Wu nodded as if something suddenly occurred to her. She didn't feel cold at all with her robe wrapped around her. She suddenly felt that this young marquis was a nice person.
Thinking of the mission she had to stay by his side, she felt guilty and raised her pretty eyes and whispered to him:
"If I change back to a fish tail in the future, I will need you to get close to me and help me. Would that be too much trouble for you? I can find someone else to get close to. They should be able to help me grow legs..."
"Since I am by your side, why should I look for anyone else?"
Lu Jingzhi said, his voice sounding a little unhappy, and then he picked out the pajamas that Yun Wu wanted to change into from the closet beside him.
"This matter depends on the person. No one else can do it except me, so you can only come to me. Do you hear me?"
"Yeah, I heard that."
Yun Wu nodded quickly. She was now able to wear ordinary clothes, so she felt embarrassed to trouble Lu Jingzhi again. She took her pajamas and put them on slowly.
She suddenly thought of something, then looked up at Lu Jingzhi who was wiping her slightly wet hair behind her.
"Has the young marquis been here all along?"
Yun Wu's voice was weak. She just thought of the scene where she gently called Lu Jingzhi twice and he came out.
Lu Jingzhi paused, then smoothed his hair and said calmly:
"It's just a coincidence. I was worried that your identity would be exposed, so I came to take a look."
His voice was light, and then he reached out and straightened Yun Wu's collar, which was not quite pulled tight.
"Go to bed early. Aren't you going to patrol the coast with me tomorrow?"
"Thank you, young marquis."
Yun Wu nodded, wrapped herself up in the quilt, and sat on the bed, biting her pink lips hesitantly.
Although she was a little afraid of Lu Jingzhi, because sometimes his expression and eyes made people feel trembling.
But she felt that Lu Jingzhi didn't seem to have any ill will towards her, and he even gave her good food and drink and a place to live.
He also took the trouble to help her turn her fish tail into legs for easier walking...
Yun Wu lay at the innermost part of the bed, still letting Lu Jingzhi sleep with her.
Although she felt guilty, she still stayed by his side to complete the mission for the sake of their mermaid tribe, so she had to stay by his side at all times.
Lu Jingzhi was lying on the other side of the bed in her white pajamas, with a distance between the two of them.
Yun Wu hid in the quilt and secretly looked at him with a pair of eyes.
She thought about what Lord Tang had told her to do, to serve Lu Jingzhi well and to prepare for getting the news.
Qingluo also said that she served her, bathing her, changing her clothes, and serving her tea and water.
Yun Wu felt that she could learn a little and it would be great if she could complete the task as soon as possible.
As she thought about it, she became more and more sleepy. After a short while, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After she fell asleep, Lu Jingzhi lifted the quilt and left. His movements were very gentle and did not disturb Yun Wu at all...
In the main hall next door, the tall Lu Jingzhi, wearing a long robe, stood beside the bookshelf and wiped an ancient book.
Two black-clad secret guards were kneeling in front of him, and one of the female secret guards was Qingluo.
"Continue to secretly investigate those who have dealings with the prefectural government, and ask Du Zhong to send more people to help."
"Yes, little Marquis."
One of the black-clad secret guards said this, and then respectfully left the bedroom and disappeared into the night.
The only person left in the hall was Qingluo, who was dressed as a secret guard in black and kneeling there.
"I asked you to serve her. Did you find anything?"
"My Lord, I have not yet discovered any attempt by Miss Yun to pass on information. However, I discovered her outside the study this morning, as if she was trying to eavesdrop..."
Qingluo said this respectfully, but Lu Jingzhi's expression did not change. He took the wiped clean ancient book in his hand and read it again and again.
The word "mermaid" is vaguely written on the cover.
"You don't have to do anything. You just need to behave yourself and be an ordinary maid. Don't let her find out. Also..."
Lu Jingzhi said lightly, sitting in his seat with one hand supporting his chin, raising his dark eyes and looking at Qingluo with some displeasure.
Qingluo thought that Lu Jingzhi had other tasks to instruct her, but she heard the young marquis say with resentment in his eyes:
"In the future, if she doesn't ask you to go into the bedroom to serve and help, don't go in. And you don't have to serve in there when she's bathing."
Qingluo: “Ah???”
