Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 413: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 9

*

The team soon reached the coast, where merchants were busy coming and going.

Lu Jingzhi jumped off the horse swiftly. Du Zhong and Du Song were leading the horses into the stable.

He paced to the carriage parked at the back, and the coachman got off the carriage and saluted respectfully.

Lu Jingzhi wanted to reach out and open the car curtain, but unexpectedly, the person sitting inside opened the curtain himself the next second.

The cute little mermaid opened the curtain with one hand and stuck her head out, her sparkling eyes showing a hint of unfamiliarity and uneasiness towards the outside world.

There were some pastry crumbs on the corners of her lips, and the small bundle in her arms had deflated a little.

It looks like he ate a lot in the carriage along the way.

"Young Lord, are we there yet?"

"Ah."

Lu Jingzhi said, then stretched out his hand towards Yun Wu. Yun Wu held his hand tightly and then used the force to get down from the carriage.

"Remember to stay beside me and don't run around. Be careful not to get into water."

He whispered instructions, then reached out and slowly wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

Yun Wu nodded quickly. Of course she couldn't get wet, otherwise it would be terrible if her fish tail showed in public.

Not far away, a man in dark official uniform hurried over.

"If you are a subordinate, you will be greeted from afar, and you will be disrespected!"

The man in official uniform and with a thin beard hurried forward and bowed, with a sly look and a flattering smile, and said:

"Why didn't you tell Lord Tang about the young marquis' sudden visit? You could have sent a message to me so that I could come and receive the marquis in time!"

Du Zhong and Du Song were waiting beside Lu Jingzhi, wearing swords. Du Zhong looked at him and said:

"you are?"

"My name is Sun. I was promoted by Lord Tang. I am now the county magistrate of Liangzhou City, responsible for the transactions between fishermen, salt merchants and other merchants."

Lord Sun had a smile on his face and nodded to Lu Jingzhi again.

"I just came here for a visit today, so I didn't let anyone inform Lord Tang."

Lu Jingzhi said lightly, looking at Lord Sun calmly. When he rushed over just now, his official hat was crooked.

Are you so anxious because you are afraid that they will find something when others are not around?

Lord Sun soon noticed Yun Wu standing behind Lu Jingzhi, and his eyes brightened when he saw her appearance.

Lord Tang was afraid that his plan would be exposed, so he did not tell Lord Sun about Yun Wu's affairs. Lord Sun only knew that Lord Tang had placed a spy next to Lu Jingzhi, but he did not know who this person was.

Lord Sun felt that the girl was most likely Lu Jingzhi's lover, or a beautiful concubine brought from the capital.

He glanced at Lu Jingzhi quietly and clicked his tongue in his heart. This young marquis really knows how to enjoy himself. He even brings a beauty with him when he goes out for inspection.

Lord Sun showed no expression on his face, but gave Lu Jingzhi a flattering smile, then stepped aside and bowed, saying:

"Young Marquis, please, I will lead the way for you, so that you can see the scenery along our coast."

"Thank you."

Lu Jingzhi said lightly, then turned around and signaled Yun Wu to follow him.

A group of people were walking along the coast, and fish vendors were doing business nearby.

When Lord Sun led Lu Jingzhi and others passing by, the vendors on both sides saluted politely with smiles on their faces, and then went back to their work.

It seemed like everyone had nothing to be dissatisfied with and that they were happy living here as fishermen.

"Young Marquis, the fishermen in our Liangzhou City always have a good harvest every time they go out to sea, so everyone has a lot of fish, and they can make a lot of money by selling them."

Lord Sun explained to Lu Jingzhi as they walked, and Yun Wu followed closely beside Lu Jingzhi.

She casually looked to the side and saw a fisherman catching a big fish, pressing it on the chopping board and disemboweling it.

The sharp knife chopped down with a bang, Yun Wu was a little scared, her body trembled and she staggered a little.

"Be careful."

Lu Jingzhi's voice was right beside her ears, and as she staggered backwards, she bumped into his arms.

He pulled Yun Wu's body over with extremely natural movements, preventing her from watching the scene of being disemboweled.

Yun Wu quickly hugged the small bag hanging on her body and continued walking forward with Lu Jingzhi without looking away.

She didn't feel sorry for the fish, nor did she think the fisherman was cruel. She was just frightened by the sound of the knife chopping and was afraid that she would suffer the same fate in the future.

Lord Sun then led Lu Jingzhi and Yun Wu across the fishing boat to the place where the ships were docked along the coast.

"Young Marquis, this is where the fishing boats and salt merchants' ships dock."

Mr. Sun explained in great detail, and it was hard to find any mistakes or omissions.

Yun Wu didn't understand what they were talking about. She stood behind Lu Jingzhi, quietly opened the small bag, and took out a piece of cake from an oil paper bag inside.

She ate the pastries in small bites while looking at the reefs and the sea not far away.

"Ugh……"

Yun Wu sighed and felt a little depressed. The sea was right in front of her, but she couldn't go back right away.

She took another bite of the pastry. It was sweet and her mood improved in an instant.

Suddenly, she noticed a gaze and raised her head to look at the fishing boat docked not far away.

There was a handsome man on the fishing boat who was staring at her blankly.

Yun Wu tilted her head and looked at him while biting a piece of cake. This man was really strange. She had never seen him before, and they didn't know each other either, but they kept staring at her.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Yun Wu."

When she turned around, she saw Lu Jingzhi alone. That Lord Sun had already left.

"Come here, it's time to go back."

Lu Jingzhi said in a deep voice, casually glancing at the strange man on the fishing boat.

"it is good……"

Yun Wu hurriedly ran to his side. The man on the fishing boat stared blankly at the backs of the two people leaving.

A servant who was passing by and sorting out his fishing nets saw this and called out a few times.

"Master? Master?"

Duan Heng finally came back to his senses and continued to instruct the servants to pack up all the things on the boat.

But he still couldn't help asking:

"Who was the person below just now?"

"He should be the young marquis from the capital, but I don't know the identity of the beautiful woman next to him. Judging from her appearance, she is most likely the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital."

The servant responded, and Duan Heng looked thoughtful.

Here, Yun Wu and Lu Jingzhi were walking towards the carriage and horses.

Yun Wu walked a little slower and couldn't keep up with Lu Jingzhi's speed at first. Later, as they walked, Lu Jingzhi slowed down his pace and walked with Yun Wu.

She was eating a piece of cake in her hand. Lu Jingzhi caught a glimpse of her pink lips, which occasionally opened to take a small bite.

He pursed his lips, then whispered:

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious."

Yun Wu's voice stuttered a little. She was afraid that Lu Jingzhi would think she ate too much, so she quickly handed over the remaining half piece of cake as if offering a treasure.

"Young Marquis, eat..."
