Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 144 Chunmei is here

Just as Li guessed, Yu Xun began to drag Wei Shiliu to stake out the warehouse, and was very curious about the structure of the teleportation array.

Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still scared when Chunmei suddenly appeared in the warehouse, and they even drew out Wei Shiliu's swords.

Yu Xun knew that Chunmei had been active in Chaozhou these years, but he had never seen her. So when he saw Chunmei, who was now carrying a big sword and dressed neatly, Yu Xun was a little uncomfortable. She looked more like a knight than a maid.

Chunmei clasped her fists and saluted Yu Xun, then looked at Wei Shiliu with some disdain, "Where's the young lady?"

Chunmei's disgusted look was exactly like Li's. Wei Shiliu felt his hands itching. If his master wasn't here, he would have wanted to drag Chunmei into a fight. "The princess is not at home. Let me come and pick you up."

"Let's go." Chunmei hadn't seen Li for a long time and was getting impatient.

Wei Shiliu looked at Yu Xun, asking for his opinion with his eyes.

"Do you know how to use this teleportation array?" Yu Xun frowned as he looked at the strange patterns on the ground that lit up for a moment and then disappeared.

"Without the young lady's permission, I cannot tell you."

Chunmei called herself a servant, but her face no longer showed the servility she had before.

Yu Xun had no choice but to let him go. The people around Li were more difficult to deal with than the other.

On the way to the dungeon, Wei Shiliu looked at Chunmei, who was even cooler than him, and couldn't help asking, "Shall we have a fight later?"

"I have just established my foundation and I can't control my strength yet. If you don't want to be beaten to death by me, stay away from me." Chunmei crossed her arms and looked at Wei Shiliu as if she was looking at a cocky little brat.

"Hey, don't look down on me. It's still uncertain who will win." Wei Shiliu was immediately furious. It was fine if he couldn't beat the master and the princess, who were geniuses beyond belief, but he didn't believe that he couldn't beat Chunmei, who had just started practicing martial arts. Although they were at different levels, it was still possible for them to end up in a tie.

"I'll wait." Chunmei accepted his invitation and urged him, "Hurry up and don't dawdle."

Walk faster, right? Wei Shiliu got angry and used his Qinggong to climb onto the roof.

If I remember correctly, this guy is already an adult, but why does he look more childish than before?

Chunmei's mouth twitched slightly, and she used her internal energy to fly after Wei Shiliu.

The two of them arrived at the dungeon one after another.

"Miss!" Chunmei's eyes instantly turned red when she saw Li. She rushed forward and hugged her, no longer as calm as before.

Qin'er wanted to scold this man for his rudeness, but when she saw Li's threatening eyes, she swallowed the words back. Forget it, the goddess can do whatever she wants. Let the old guys in the tribe take care of it. She only has a few years left to live, so let her go in peace.

Li was taller than Chunmei now, so he could only bend down slightly to coordinate with her movements, and gently patted Chunmei's back with one hand, "Okay, okay, I'm fine."

Just because you are fine now doesn't mean you will be fine in the future. The young lady has never stopped looking for trouble.

Chunmei muttered in her heart, retreated from Li's embrace, blinked her red eyes and looked Li up and down, "Miss, didn't you eat well in the general's mansion? Why do you feel like you have lost some weight?"

Uh… the meal was good, but not very good. Li coughed twice and laughed, "Maybe I've grown a little taller and look thinner."

Chunmei nodded and agreed with Li's statement. The young lady had indeed grown up too fast in recent years. Every time they met, Chunmei felt that Li had changed a lot.

"Sister Mei, please sit down. Wei Shiliu, come here too. We haven't been together for a long time." Li pulled Chunmei to sit on a rough wooden chair. Chunmei held Li's hand and asked about her recent situation, as if she was treating a child who had returned home after a long time.

Without Yu Xun, Wei Shiliu stopped being polite and reached out to pour water for the two people who were chatting animatedly, occasionally joining in a few words. The atmosphere was very good, everyone was talking and laughing as if they had returned to the past, except for Qin'er, who was huddled in the corner with a strange expression.

Li kept an eye on Qin'er and just smiled at her. Tanghulu was still asleep, but the poisonous insect in his dantian had grown more than twice as big. It must be that someone behind the scenes had done something to Tanghulu.

Thinking of this, Li brought the topic back to the point, "Sister Mei, do you remember how my mother died?"

"Empress?" Chunmei bit her lip. Secretly, she didn't want Li to know about this.

Chunmei took a deep breath and said slowly: "The queen died of poison. The imperial physician later found out that the queen was poisoned right after giving birth to the princess, and the person who poisoned her was an unfavored concubine.

His Majesty was furious, and the concubine was given a white silk, and the servants who served the Majesty were all beaten to death. I was lucky enough to escape because there was no one to serve the little princess. This matter caused a big fuss, but I think it is not that simple. The concubine was probably just pushed out to take the blame.

I want to seek justice for the queen, but after the queen left, His Majesty's favor for the little princess plummeted. The little princess is the only one around me, so I can't act impulsively. "

When she recalled the scene of that day, she could not control her emotions. She could still clearly remember the queen vomiting blood in front of her. She was young at the time and suspected that the person behind it was the queen. She really thought about whether she should take a gamble. Her worthless life would be worth it even if it could injure the queen a little. But the crying of the little princess made Chunmei sober up. The queen handed the little princess to her, and she had to protect the little princess.

Li gently patted Chunmei's back, silently comforting her. Wei Shiliu, because of the difference between men and women, could only hurriedly hand Chunmei a handkerchief.

Chunmei took the handkerchief with a smile and wiped the tears from her face. "Later, I came to terms with it. It's already difficult for a lowly servant like me to survive in the palace, so how can I seek justice for the queen? All I have to do is take good care of the little princess and let her grow up. This way, I will be worthy of the queen's cultivation of me."

"Sister Mei's swordsmanship was taught by my mother?"

"Well, before entering the palace, the queen was a chivalrous woman with great martial arts skills." Chunmei nodded in agreement. If she had not been confined in the palace, the queen would have lived a free and easy life, making others envious.

"Lady knight." Li chuckled, "It's indeed a good excuse to conceal your identity."

People in the underworld are not particular about trivial matters and their whereabouts are uncertain. Just being called an orphan can save them from a lot of trouble.

"Miss, what you mean is..." Chunmei was a little puzzled. Could it be that the Empress had some other extraordinary identity?

Li shifted his gaze to Qin'er in the corner, "Aren't you going to talk to us about your former clan leader, my mother?"

Wei Shiliu and Chunmei looked at each other and saw shocked expressions on each other's faces.

Qin Er pursed her lips and said, "Goddess, please come back with me. You can find out everything you want to know."

"Don't worry, you'll be able to go home soon." Li sighed, clenching and then unclenching his hands.

Just now, the poisonous insect in her Dantian had grown bigger. Not only did it grow legs, it also bit her Nascent Soul and was now fighting with her Nascent Soul in a frenzy.

Li took a deep breath to suppress the pain in his abdomen, turned around and met two pairs of confused eyes.
