Chapter 173: Track 173 Chapter 173: Track 173 Behind a cluster of flowering bushes in the back garden, Ye Jiu stood up straight and ran out, her eyes full of confusion, “No, that’s not right. I was clearly following him, so how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?”
“Little girl, are you looking for me?” Ye Jiu suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder, followed by a somewhat rough voice coming from behind her.
“Ah…” Ye Jiu turned around and took a fright at the sight of the person behind her, “You…are you a ghost? You were just in front of me a moment ago, how did you suddenly get behind me? You could scare someone to death, you know?”
The words of accusation slipped out, making the man laugh, “Strange, are the people who track others nowadays as audacious as you? You were secretly following me and now you blame me for scaring you!”
Hadn’t he noticed that she had no Inner Strength at all? Did she think she still had the right to talk?
Speaking of which, Ye Jiu felt embarrassed, “It’s not like I was following you on purpose, I just…I just…”
“Just what?” the man asked.
“Actually, I was in the room. They wouldn’t let me out, but I wanted to see what the Guard Office looked like, so I sneaked out by myself. I only wanted to take a quick look and then go back, but I got lost, which is why I was following you. I…I just wanted to ask for directions!” Ye Jiu explained.
The man looked Ye Jiu up and down for a long time, then said, “Looking at your attire, you seem to be a maid, right? Why won’t they let you come out?”
“I came with those dancing girls who are performing in the main hall. I heard they were going to perform for General Wei Hu. Probably they were afraid I’d offend someone important!” Ye Jiu replied.
The man appeared to be in his thirties, dressed in extravagant and extraordinary clothing, with a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.
Watching Ye Jiu’s naïve and cute appearance, the smile in his eyes grew even more intense.
While this little maid might not be stunningly beautiful, she was attractive and spoke with a tender and delicate voice, truly an enticing figure, even more alluring than the maids that General Li of the Guard Office had prepared for him.
Only, she seemed too young, at most eight or nine years old, right?
He had unique tastes, but this was too young, even making him feel somewhat embarrassed to proceed!
With that thought, the man suddenly displayed a wolfish grin, as if ready to deceive a little white rabbit, “Girl, do you want to see what General Wei Hu looks like? Do you want to live in a place as luxurious as this for the rest of your life, to command servants every day, and never have to attend to anyone else again?”
Ye Jiu felt utterly disgusted inside.
The man’s tone was so full of temptation, it was hard for her to pretend she didn’t understand.
However, Ye Jiu still showed a longing expression on her face.
“I…I definitely do, but that’s impossible.” Swallowing her saliva, Ye Jiu displayed a range of emotions on her face, from excitement to disappointment, quite vividly.
“If I say it’s possible, then it is, but it depends on how you perform,” the man said, extending a finger to lift Ye Jiu’s chin.
Damn, Ye Jiu knew that General Wei Hu had peculiar tastes, but she hadn’t expected that his entourage would also have rather unique preferences.
Pretending to be thrilled, Ye Jiu reached out with both hands and grabbed the man’s disruptive hand, asking, “Really? Can I really meet General Wei Hu? You don’t know how much I admire, really admire the Great General. Could you let me see him now?”
“Hahaha…” The man laughed, genuinely delighted.
Just as he thought, this was indeed an interesting girl!
“The person you want to meet is standing right in front of you!” the man suddenly said.
