Chapter 2005 She is not one of the four beauties
The busiest street outside the Moon Kingdom Palace.
Chu Ge rode his horse through the city, holding the beauty in his arms.
But what attracted people's attention more than Shi Li's beauty was the man leading the horse.
At first, no one knew who he was. After walking for a while, someone in the crowd whispered, "The man leading the horse seems to be the king of Wu."
Then word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until everyone on the street heard it.
It turns out that the person who knelt down and rode for the Moon King was actually the king of the Witch Kingdom.
The people's curiosity about the beauty immediately turned to the Witch King. The locals felt that they were also rising in status and position.
Some people from other countries who came to Moon Country all showed expressions of watching a good show.
The very few people from the Wu Kingdom all blushed, feeling that it was a disgrace for them to follow such a monarch.
While on the horse, Shi Li felt that half of his body was stiff.
She had ridden a horse before, and the attention and comments from people around her were not enough to make her feel at a loss. What really made her nervous was Chu Ge behind her.
The two of them rode together, Shi Li's back inevitably pressed against his chest, and he held her loosely in front of him, causing her palms to sweat from nervousness.
He had no time to pay attention to what people around him were saying about the Witch King.
I just walked on the street for a long time, and I felt that there was a different gaze in the crowd, so I couldn't help but turn my head to look over.
It was a man standing in the crowd.
He was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and looked like he blended in with the crowd, but his appearance was very outstanding. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he was staring deeply at this side.
He was caught off guard when he met Shi Li's gaze. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly lowered his head to avoid it.
Shi Li felt that this man looked familiar, but she had never seen him before, as if he had appeared in the original owner's memory.
But the memory is too old and I can't remember who it is.
"What is the beauty looking at?"
Before he could continue thinking, Chu Ge's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Shi Li was so scared that he turned his head quickly.
Chu Ge kept smiling as he glanced in her direction nonchalantly, then looked away as if he hadn't seen anything.
"It seems that the beauty likes to go out on horseback with me. Tomorrow I will take you to a farther place to have a good look."
He raised one hand and gently brushed the hair by Shi Li's ear, as if she was really his beloved concubine.
Shi Li didn't dare to look him in the eye and just nodded perfunctorily.
Back in the palace, Chu Ge first got off the horse, and then, like at the beginning, he put one hand around Shi Li's waist and easily carried her down.
As soon as he stood firm, Shi Li heard him say to the Witch King: "Well done, wash the horse carefully later, and I will ride it again tomorrow."
Shi Li stood by, speechless.
She also couldn't understand how Chu Ge could be so sure that he wouldn't be retaliated against in the future after humiliating the Witch King like this?
But she couldn't speak casually. After all, with Shi Li's identity, if she said one more word, she would be considered to be colluding with the Witch King and having ulterior motives.
It is better to let my friend die than to let me die. Shi Li understands the principle of keeping oneself safe.
Now that many vassal states coexisted, Chu Ge could no longer sit back and enjoy himself. He sent away the Witch King and the horse, and also let Shi Li go back by himself, as he had other things to deal with.
Shi Li couldn't wait to get away from him, so she knelt down and saluted, with her brows and eyes deeply curved.
It was this undisguised expression of joy that hurt her.
"It seems that the beauty is very willing to leave me?" Chu Ge suddenly spoke and stopped her.
Shi Li smiled and lied, "How could it be..."
"In that case, my beauty, please stay with me for a while." Chu Ge took her to another palace without saying anything.
This was where he usually did his work. The desk was filled with books, and two scholars with righteous faces were standing at the door waiting.
When they saw Shi Li appear, they all showed shocked expressions.
