Hearing that Xu Heng had received the task, Lao Chen Tou was not so entangled: "Since this is the case, then my kid will entrust it to you." He's fine, there's nothing wrong with him, it's just tough. Back then, he said that he wanted to repay the general's kindness and guard the city gate for the general, so he ran to be a guard for ten years; now he said that he saw a very powerful man at the city gate, and he had to go to the rivers and lakes!"

As he spoke, Lao Chen became excited, waving his pipe as if his son was in front of him, and scolded excitedly: "Breaking into the rivers and lakes, is the rivers and lakes something that he can break into as a stunned boy?"

The uncle's excited words woke Shangguan Tingxue and Xiao Denghong, and the two little girls who were sleeping hazy raised their heads blankly, not quite knowing what the situation was now.

"What grandson?"

"Are you leaving?

Xiao Denghong heard the words behind him, and Shangguan Tingxue remembered to ask Xu Heng to call him when he left.

Xu Heng replied to the two little girls with a shake, and then patted Uncle Chen's shoulder and comforted: "Uncle Chen, don't get excited, it's not a bad thing to go into the rivers and lakes to see the world while you're young." Don't worry about anything with my protection, as for starting a family, my friend's family has a lot of industries in the rivers and lakes, and there are many good women in the rivers and lakes. ”

"You're right. Lao Chen nodded, a little moved by Xu Heng's words, but he was still not at ease, "I don't want my children to achieve anything in my life, I just hope that in my lifetime, I can see them healthy and healthy! ”

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

It's done, and it's settled.

Xu Heng turned his head and smiled at Su Su, and then helped Uncle Chen pack up his things, bid farewell to the old man, and began to walk back.

On the way home, the two became four. Originally, Xiao Denghong had to follow Xu Heng into the rivers and lakes, but he was dragged back by Sheng Youshan.

Xu Heng and Su Su were followed by Shangguan Tingxue, who was in high spirits, and the three of them took two steps behind Jiang Zuo, and slowly followed behind.

Shangguan Tingxue was excited that she could become a "princess of the rivers and lakes" again, and asked questions by Xu Heng's side all the way.

"Xu Heng, if I promise to be your sister, will I really become a princess?"

"If I become a real princess, will I be able to go to play, and can I go to the palace?"

"The palace is where the emperor lives, they all say that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, can the Son of Heaven do spells?"

In addition to excitement, there will also be troubles.

"Oh, if you accept me as a righteous sister, won't you become your father's daughter, will your father agree?"

"Is your father strict? Will it be like my uncle, who is not allowed to go anywhere or play, and is really suffocated to practice spells every day......

The little girl's mind changed for a while, and questions kept popping up, and she didn't even wait for Xu Heng to answer before she remembered another one, muttering to herself. made Xu Heng and Su Su laugh more than once.

All the way leisurely, the group returned to the general's mansion safely.

But two groups of people were waiting for him in the house.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the porter came over and told Xu Heng that two groups of people had visited him and had been waiting in the two living rooms for a long time.

After asking about the appearance of the two groups of people, Xu Heng first came to the confusing visitor.

Wu Si, according to him, he was a monk of the Three Realms Temple, and he didn't know why he didn't return to the Three Realms Temple with Wubu Gantsen, and visited Xu Heng late at night two days after they left.

Its behavior is a bit confusing.

The monk was sitting in the hall, his hands folded and his eyes closed, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

When the two of them stepped into the room, the monk's eyelids twitched slightly, obviously sensing the arrival of the master, but he did not get up to receive him, and still chanted.

Xu Heng and Su Su didn't bother either.

After a while, the Buddhist scriptures came to an end, and the monk slowly opened his eyes and saluted to Xu Henghe. He introduced himself: "The poor monk is thoughtless, and has now left the Three Realms Temple, thinking that the disaster of the world is coming, it is difficult to sit idly by, and he has come to join the donor." ”

"Disaster is coming, why did the master say this?" Xu Heng asked with a salute.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, but this disaster is more man-made, if the poor monk has a good premonition, this disaster starts in the northeast. ”

Northeast?

Isn't that where the ghost city of Xudu is located?

This monk has two hands.

Xu Heng moved his mind to collect talents, and suddenly a soft voice from Su Su came from beside him.

"Purple gold jade bottle. ”

Xu Heng suddenly understood.

Thinking of the monk who helped the God of Wealth to fish in troubled waters with Peng Xiaotian's suspicious strategy, Xu Heng once heard Gong Jingsheng say that the God of Wealth bought this monk with heavy profits and helped them do treacherous things.

took the opportunity to drive a wedge between Ru Yan Xinpeng and the monks of the Three Realms Temple, which made Ru Yan Xinpeng suspicious, and then made him show his feet, forcing him to act in advance and fall into the trap.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Heng put out his thoughts.

Since he was able to betray the original Three Realms Temple because of heavy profits at that time, it is possible to betray himself for other things in the future.

However, seeing that although he looked like he was lowering his eyebrows at this time, his lowered glasses and ears were moving slightly, and he was very alert, and he was afraid that refusing directly would cause him to hold a grudge.

Establishing an enemy is not a good countermeasure.

Xu Heng's mind turned rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he thought of a method, bowed and saluted: "What the master said is good, I am afraid that there will really be disasters in the future." ”

"But in the future, I have to solve some family affairs, and it is useless for the master to defect to me. It's not as good as this, Xu used to have an old relationship with the abbot of Xuanguang Temple in Julu County, so it is better for the master to go there for a while first, and when needed in the future, Xu will personally invite the master back to save the people in the world......"

After sending the thoughtless monk away, Su Su returned to the room, and Xu Heng went to meet another visitor alone.

This visitor from the Imperial Palace.

Yongxingan.

After bringing the holy decree of the court, commending the merits of General Duhu and General Li, and dealing with the relevant matters in Xijing, he came to meet Xu Heng and brought a message from a person.

This is Xu Heng's family matter, Su Su is not suitable to accompany him, so he went back to the room alone, sat on the bed, and leaned on the bed.

Don't think about anything, wait for Xu Heng.

Xu Heng went for a long time and returned to the room at sunrise.

The young man in Xuanyi pushed open the door and walked into the room, looking at his face, he couldn't see joy or sorrow. Su Su walked over and poured a cup of tea and brought it to him: "I haven't slept all night, do you want to rest for a while?"

Xu Heng shook his head, took the tea and put it on the table, and looked at the woman seriously: "Susu, do you want to see my father?"
