Chapter Twenty-Three: The Charm of the King 2
Now he was wrong at the time, and his heart was miserable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info red tears are secretly drooping, and the eyes are full of spring breeze. Knowing this, there was no plan later, and he forced the happy period. As if it were a farewell, the plough fell to the west and the moon. - "Picking Mulberries" Qing Nalan Rongruo.

Korean Hospital. Den.
Outside, there was a confused and endless night, and a desolate first quarter moon hung in the distant sky, cold and cold.
Inside, there was no light in the outer room, and only the faint moonlight projected through the wide open door illuminated the world at the entrance of the door, and the rest of the place was dark.
And in the inner room of the study, where there are only bookshelves, bookcases, chairs and other things, and a lamp is lit like beans, only Zhu Zimo standing in front of the window and the shadow who knelt on the ground in front of the bookcase lowered his head and remained silent.
But seeing Zhu Zimo casually draped in three thousand green silks, wearing an elegant lake-blue Confucian shirt, his right hand was placed in front of his abdomen with a fist, and he was standing in front of the open window with his left and right hands holding books behind his back. Facing the pure moonlight projected into the inner room of the study from the wide open window, Zhu Zimo's good-looking Danfeng eyes quietly looked at the endless confused night outside the window.
Maybe it's because of his personal aura, Zhu Zimo standing in front of the window looks so long and jade, and the grace and dignity on his body is already overflowing without the support of external objects.
On the other hand, the shadow was wrapped in black, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, and the shadow was so silent that he almost melted into the darkness of the study.
And because Zhu Zimo was standing under the wide open window, at this time, Zhu Zimo's whole person was shrouded by the pure moonlight projected into the inner room of the study from the window. Whether looking at it from a distance or up close, Zhu Zimo's figure looks a little hazy and illusory, as if an immortal is coming to the world.
Time passed silently. After a long time, Zhu Zimo, who held the book in his hand and stood motionless in front of the window, looked at the confused night outside the window, and asked so gently: "How is the situation in Jiangnan?" Is Vice Lin okay with them? Also, has the whereabouts of the impermanent ghost doctor been found? ”
The voice as warm as jade is just like Zhu Zimo's bookish appearance.
"Back to the master, since Deputy Envoy Lin and Gongzi Lin walked with everyone in the Netherworld. Due to the ruthless reputation of the Netherworld Palace in the rivers and lakes, it is quite vicious, ruthless, and does everything to treat human life like a mustard, so far, almost all the martial arts people who went to Nanling County in the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the martial arts conference have taken a detour. In this way, Deputy Envoy Lin and Lin Gongzi were much safer than when only the two of them were walking before, and there were no more accidents on the road.
In addition, because Lin Gongzi's heart is like a child. No matter where you go. Everyone will stay for a day or two for Lin Gongzi to play, so it was not until the day before yesterday that Deputy Envoy Lin and Lin Gongzi and his party from the Netherworld Palace entered Jinyi Province in the south of the Yangtze River. According to the reply of the people below, if nothing happens, it is expected that around the middle of this month, Deputy Envoy Lin, Lin Gongzi and the group from the Netherworld Palace should be able to arrive in Nanling County safely.
As for the impermanence ghost doctor...... Return to the master, please forgive the incompetence of subordinates and others! It's really impermanent, the whereabouts of the ghost doctor are too mysterious. Many times, as soon as their subordinates and others found out the whereabouts of the impermanent ghost doctor, the impermanent ghost doctor disappeared again. But it's almost certain. The Impermanent Ghost Doctor should have arrived in Nanling County, which is located in the southern part of Jinyi Province. As soon as Zhu Zimo's question came out, the shadow immediately took over and reported respectfully to Zhu Zimo in her cold female voice.
At that time, after hearing the shadow of the shadow's return, Zhu Zimo, who was standing in front of the window, seemed to groan slightly, and when Zhu Zimo spoke again, he said like this: "Go back and tell the people along the way to keep an eye on Deputy Envoy Lin and Gongzi Lin to prevent them from being in danger again." However, as long as it does not affect Lin Gongzi's participation in the martial arts conference, and does not prevent Lin Gongzi from seizing the position of the leader of the martial arts conference, anything can go with them.
In addition, before the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Palace parted ways with Deputy Envoy Lin and Gongzi Lin, let the people below keep an eye on the people of the Netherworld Palace. If it is confirmed that the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Palace does not have the intention of murdering Deputy Envoy Lin and Gongzi Lin, then after the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Palace arrives in Nanling County, even if the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Palace no longer walks with Deputy Envoy Lin and Gongzi Lin, let the people below also take care of the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Palace, and have the right to repay her for taking care of Deputy Envoy Lin and Gongzi Lin along the way. As for the others in the Netherworld, you don't have to pay attention to it. ”
Hearing Zhu Zimo's advice, the shadow immediately clasped his fists in Zhu Zimo's direction, and responded respectfully: "Yes!" Master! Subordinates receive orders! As soon as he spoke, he heard the shadow ask, "What about ...... What about the impermanent ghost doctor? ”
"Impermanent ghost doctor ......" As if muttering to himself, Zhu Zimo read these four words softly, but then, he only heard Zhu Zimo's soft sigh: "Alas......"
When it comes to Mu Ziru, in addition to Zhu Zimo's sigh, Zhu Zimo really doesn't know what emotions he can use to express his mood at this time.
More than a month ago, Zhu Zimo's master asked Zhu Zimo to send people to Pingnan Province in Jiangnan to find the four flavor medicines of Danzhi, Hongshu, Tanglu, and Qinshao, although Zhu Zimo did not know the use of these four flavors at that time, but because this was what Zhu Zimo's master explained to Zhu Zimo, Zhu Zimo should send Mu Ziru, whom he trusted, to find medicine.
Zhu Zimo knew that the day after Mu Ziru received his order, Mu Ziru left Kyoto Xuanping.
Moreover, when Mu Ziru left, he also went to Ming Jingyang, the owner of Mingyang Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the seventeenth of the thirty-six halls under the jurisdiction of Baihu, to "borrow" a silver ticket of 100,000 taels.
Ming Jingyang doesn't have to be afraid of Mu Ziru, Ming Jingyang is timid, Mu Ziru just left Mingyang Pavilion with his front foot after "borrowing" the silver, and Ming Jingyang's back foot reported that the Holy Envoy of the Heavenly Holy Gate had borrowed 100,000 taels of silver tickets from him.
Of course, Zhu Zimo didn't care about Mu Ziru's behavior of "borrowing" silver in Ming Jingyang's hands, because 100,000 taels was just the tip of the iceberg for Zhu Zimo.
What really made Zhu Zimo depressed was the whereabouts of Mu Ziru's house!
At first, it was okay when it was in the territory of Liangxing Province, after all, Liangxing Province was the location of the chief helm of the Tiansheng Gate. There are many people in Tianshengmen, almost every corner of Liangxing Province, therefore. Regarding Mu Ziru's whereabouts, Zhu Zimo can still find out at any time.
But since Mu Ziru left the scope of Liangxing Province, Mu Ziru's whereabouts have suddenly become erratic and difficult to find!
Zhu Zimo didn't know how many enemies Mu Ziru had in the rivers and lakes, and Mu Ziru also needed to find the medicinal materials that Zhu Zimo's master named to find for Zhu Zimo, Danzhi, Hongshu, Tanglu, and Qinshao, but Mu Ziru's front foot was out of the range of Liangxing Province, and the back foot gave Zhu Zimo a lost trace. How does this make Zhu Zimo not worried?
Therefore, during this time, every time there is a shadow to send back and forth messages. Zhu Zimo would ask in passing, whether the shadow who came had found Mu Ziru's whereabouts. It's a pity that every time the results are obtained, Zhu Zimo is disappointed, but they are all within Zhu Zimo's expectations.
In the quiet study, I could hear my posture standing upright in front of the wide open window. Look out the window at the endless confused night. Zhu Zimo, who was behind him with one hand, said helplessly: "That's it! You don't have to bother tracking down the whereabouts of the Impermanent Ghost Doctor, let him go for the time being! He has an odd temper and is unpredictable on the outside, but he only likes to make people unable to catch his whereabouts. He will seek you when he is in need. ”
As soon as Zhu Zimo's words fell, without waiting for the shadow to answer, he immediately heard Zhu Zimo ask in a light tone: "How are the three people who were sent to the Red Ice Country to deliver Bering last time?" ”
The shadow, kneeling on the ground in front of the bookcase, asked. Immediately continued to clench his fists in the direction of Zhu Zimo, and replied in a respectful and unhesitating tone: "Return to the master." After this period of careful recuperation, the three of them are now back to normal. Right now, the three of them are on standby in their stronghold in the northern suburbs outside the city, ready to receive a new mission to carry out at any time! ”
At that moment, I saw that Zhu Zimo still maintained his posture of looking at the endless confused night outside the window, but he nodded his head again, obviously, the dark shadow's answer undoubtedly made Zhu Zimo very satisfied.
Immediately, Zhu Zimo, who could hear his eyes looking at the endless confused night outside the window, said softly as if talking to himself: "The wedding of the prince of the Chibing Kingdom has passed, and from now on, the palace of the prince of the Chibing Kingdom will have an additional hostess with a proper name, and there will no longer be only a young lady and a woman......"
Hearing Zhu Zimo's low muttering, the shadow hesitated, but then boldly asked, "What does the master mean...... Do you want to bring the young lady back? ”
Zhu Zimo didn't show any dissatisfaction with the shadow's assertive question, and still maintained his posture of looking at the endless confused night outside the window, and after a long time, he heard Zhu Zimo respond to the shadow in a faint tone: "No need." ”
Since he asked the question "Do you want to bring the young lady back?" without authorization, the shadow who had been waiting for Zhu Zimo's decision with anxiety in his heart heard Zhu Zimo's answer this time, but he was inexplicably relaxed and uneasy.
In the next moment, I heard the shadow say respectfully to Zhu Zimo in a somewhat relieved tone: "Please forgive the master!" It's a subordinate who has exceeded the rules! ”
Zhu Zimo didn't pay attention to the shadow accusation, but just ordered with a sigh: "After you go back, let the three of them leave for the Red Ice Kingdom Palace immediately to protect the young lady for the master of this sect." ”
"This ......" Originally, the shadow answered any questions and instructions from Zhu Zimo very neatly, but when the shadow heard Zhu Zimo's instructions, the shadow obviously hesitated this time.
Hearing the hesitation in the shadow's words, he saw Zhu Zimo in the room slightly sideways, glanced obliquely at the shadow kneeling on the ground in front of the bookcase, and only heard Zhu Zimo's tone of voice cold and stiff asking, "What?" Do you think there is something wrong with the arrangement of the master of the door? ”
Although Zhu Zimo seemed to be just standing quietly in front of the open window, except for slightly turning his face sideways, Zhu Zimo didn't do anything, but the momentum of the superior and Zhu Zimo's unfathomable internal breath were quietly released by Zhu Zimo at the same time that Zhu Zimo asked the shadow......
Facing the disciples of the Heavenly Holy Gate, most of the time, Zhu Zimo was a very approachable door master. However, this does not mean that any Heavenly Saint Gate Sect can freely speak out to challenge Zhu Zimo's majesty as the "Heavenly Saint Gate Sect Master"!
At this moment, in the face of Zhu Zimo's silent release of the superior's momentum and the coercion of the internal force, the shadow immediately changed the posture of kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, and at the same time lowered her upper body to the cold ground, and pleaded with trepidation: "Please forgive the master!" The subordinates will never dare to criticize the master's arrangement! ”
Zhu Zimo, who was standing in front of the wide-open window, still maintained his slightly sideways face, obliquely looking at the posture of the shadow kneeling on the ground in front of the bookcase. After slowly reining in the coercion he deliberately released, Zhu Zimo asked in a soft tone, "Then what do you mean?" ”
Without Zhu Zimo's deliberately released superior's momentum and internal force, the shadow opened his mouth with a little hesitation, and explained to Zhu Zimo with careful wording: "Master! The subordinates just felt that if they wanted to protect the young lady in the inner courtyard of the palace, it was the best policy to choose someone with the best kung fu. But the three of them, Zhu Mei, Zhu Li, and Li Qi are only first-class in light skills, but their kung fu is not superb, and they are not even considered to be the upper level in the door. The subordinates feel ......"
Secretly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Zimo, and saw that although Zhu Zimo standing in front of the window was quietly squinting at her, he didn't stop her from saying it, so the shadow continued confidently and boldly: "The subordinates feel that Zhu Mei, Zhu Li, and Li Qi are not suitable to protect the young lady, do you need to change the next candidate?" ”
"Not necessarily!" As soon as the shadow's words fell, Zhu Zimo did not hesitate and made a negative decision to the shadow's proposal in a light tone.
Without waiting for the shadow to say anything, Zhu Zimo said to himself: "The three of them are indeed not high in kung fu, but the three of them are the most suitable candidates at the moment. They had already met with the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom before, and this time they asked them to go to the Red Ice Kingdom, first go to the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom to explain their intentions directly, and the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom would arrange for the three of them to go to the young lady's side. If nothing else, you can step back first......"
Zhu Zimo had already said it so clearly, the shadow naturally wouldn't make any more random suggestions. And because Zhu Zimo also issued an eviction order, it was not easy for the shadow to continue to stay in the study of this Han Academy.
So, in the quiet and dark study, a cold woman's voice was heard: "Yes! Master! Subordinates receive orders! (To be continued.) )
