Chapter 358: Chef Lu is forced to open
The black shadow moved extremely fast.
Lu Yuguan felt his arms tighten and his whole body was lifted off the ground.
"let me go!"
"Zimo is still there!——"
He struggled desperately and looked back at the riverbank.
The view was blocked by trees.
The image of Zhao Zimo lying in a pool of blood was like a nightmare, burning his retinas.
"Be quiet."
The dark shadow beside him spoke in a cold voice, without a trace of emotion.
The other person simply took out a ball of cloth and stuffed it roughly into his mouth.
“Mmm! Mmm!——”
Lu Yuguan's protests all turned into vague sobs.
Then, everything went dark.
A black cloth tightly covered his eyes.
The world fell into complete darkness.
He was like a piece of cargo, carried by two people and moved quickly across the rugged terrain.
The wind whistled in my ears.
Occasionally you can hear the sound of birds flying away in fright.
He tried to remember the route, but without vision, his sense of direction quickly became completely lost.
The only thing left in my heart was worry about Zhao Zimo.
Zimo...
Is he still alive?
What will that bastard Li Daniu do to him?
When he thought of this, Lu Yuguan felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an ice-cold hand, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
[Host... calm down...]
The system's voice carried a rare hint of weakness.
Lu Yuguan simply couldn't listen.
After an unknown amount of time, the shaking finally stopped.
"Put him down."
The dark shadow holding him said in a deep voice.
Lu Yuguan shook his feet and found a flat stone or wooden slab underneath.
Sniff carefully with the tip of your nose.
The smell in the air changed.
The decay and blood were replaced by an expensive incense, with a faint scent of flowers and plants.
"Your Highness the Spirit King, the person has been brought here."
"Ah."
A slightly feminine voice sounded and responded softly.
Sounds like a steward.
"The prince has ordered that we take him to the temple first."
"Yes."
Lu Yuguan was held up again.
After many twists and turns, I was finally pushed into a room.
The cloth in his mouth and the black cloth on his eyes were roughly pulled off, and the sudden light made him unable to open his eyes.
It took me a while to get used to it.
What comes into view is an elegantly decorated guest room.
Carved wooden windows, silk curtains, and rosewood tables and chairs.
There is also a set of exquisite tea sets on the table.
Compared to the rough military camp, this place is simply another world.
"Stay put, don't make yourself uncomfortable."
The man in black said something coldly and turned away.
The door closed from the outside, and the sound of it locking could be clearly heard.
Lu Yuguan rushed to the door and slammed it hard:
"let me out!"
"I want to go back to Hancheng!"
"You bunch of beasts, you can't play like this!"
The guards at the door had no reaction, like two stone statues.
Lu Yuguan ran to the window again.
Outside the window is an exquisite courtyard, but there are also guards patrolling.
The guards are tight.
You can't escape even if you have wings.
He slid down to the ground weakly, hugging his knees.
The image of Zhao Zimo covered in blood appeared before his eyes again.
My heart skipped a beat and tears welled up uncontrollably.
"Tongzi..."
His voice was hoarse, "Zimo he..."
【Auspicious people are blessed by heaven】
The system comforted dryly.
It even doesn't believe what it said.
Lu Yuguan buried his face in his knees, his shoulders trembling slightly.
*
It's getting late.
There was a sound of a door opening outside.
Lu Yuguan turned his head and saw the feminine manager walk in, followed by two servants.
"The prince wants to see you."
"Clean up, change your clothes, and don't pollute the prince's eyes."
The steward pinched his index finger and looked him up and down with a critical look in his eyes.
Two servants came forward, lifted Lu Yuguan up without saying a word, and took him to bathe and change clothes.
The hot water washed away the blood stains and he changed into a soft green robe.
Lu Yuguan was like a puppet at the mercy of others.
There was only one thought in my mind.
Let that little spiritual king let me go back!
After everything was packed up, the steward led him out of the guest room and through the winding corridor.
The Lingwang Palace is extremely large, and its pavilions and towers are extremely luxurious.
Finally, everyone stopped in front of a magnificent palace door.
"Come in, the prince is inside."
The steward whispered a warning, "Be careful with your words. The prince has a bad temper."
Lu Yuguan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The incense in the hall is even stronger.
A young man in a black brocade robe, with his back to him, was admiring the scenery outside the window.
He has an upright figure and his black hair flows like a waterfall.
Just a back view reveals an indescribable dignity.
"coming?"
Hearing footsteps, the man slowly turned around.
His face is handsome to the point of being weird, with fair skin, narrow eyebrows and eyes, and light lips. Together, they create an extremely aggressive beauty.
Lu Yuguan's heart skipped a beat.
His breath hitched, and he almost blurted out—
Qi Wei?!
That silly bird saint, why is he here?
"Seeing the prince, why don't you bow?"
The eunuch next to him reminded in a sharp voice.
Lu Yuguan came to his senses and froze in place, not moving.
Qi Wei raised his hand and stopped the eunuch.
He walked forward, came in front of Lu Yuguan, leaned over slightly, and looked at his face carefully.
Lu Yuguan could smell the cool incense on him, mixed with a very faint smell of medicine.
"Um……"
Qi Wei stretched out his fingers and gently pinched Lu Yuguan's chin, forcing him to look up.
My fingertips are cold.
Lu Yuguan shuddered violently and tried to dodge, but was pinched so tightly that he couldn't move.
"It's really good."
Qi Wei studied his features, his tone calm, as if he were evaluating a treasure, "Delicate skin and tender flesh, a piece of unpolished jade."
"Tsuruya-kun praised you so highly in his letter that I thought he was just blinded by age."
"Now that I look at it, it's quite interesting."
Lu Yuguan's heart was pounding and his brain was working fast.
Qi Wei has lost his memory!
Like Zhao Zimo, he lost his memory!
Otherwise, this wouldn't be the reaction!
"Your Majesty," Lu Yuguan said with difficulty, "What do you want to do by arresting me?"
Qi Wei let go of his hand and slowly wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief.
"I heard you are very good at cooking?"
He turned around and walked back to the window, his voice emotionless, "That reckless man Wang Jian was fooled around by you."
Lu Yuguan was stunned: "Just... because of this?"
"if not?"
Qi Wei turned his head to the side, a smile on his lips, "My appetite has been poor recently, so I want to try something new."
"You," he pointed at Lu Yuguan, "will be the one who prepares meals for me from now on."
Lu Yuguan was anxious: "No, I...I have to go back!"
Qi Wei chuckled as if he had heard something interesting.
"Return to Zhao?"
"Looking for the dying prince of Zhao?"
His tone was light, but it was like a knife stabbing into Lu Yuhuan's heart.
"You can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking about saving others?"
Qi Wei walked back to him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"How about this."
"I will give you a chance."
"If your craftsmanship can please this king..."
He paused, looked at Lu Yuguan's eyes that lit up instantly, and said slowly: "I will consider it and let you return to Zhao State."
