In this room, Lu Xueyue was deeply worried in her heart, and in the other room, in the study room of the Han Academy, Zhu Zimo was sitting alone behind a bookcase made of pure mahogany, concentrating on what he was drawing.

In the upper left corner of the bookcase, there is a stack of books and bamboo slips as usual, and in the upper right corner is an inkstone with polished ink, a pen holder with all kinds of millipens, and a pen wash with a lot of water.

walked in to take a closer look, but saw a white snowflake rice paper on the mahogany bookcase (there are many shallow and faint spots on the paper, like snowflakes, hence the name), the two sides of the rice paper are pressed with a paperweight, Zhu Zimo is holding the best sheep hair in his right hand to paint on the rice paper, but the painting has only a few strokes, just drew a momentum, it is really difficult to see what Zhu Zimo wants to paint.

However, Zhu Zimo's expression was very focused, his eyes stared at the rice paper in front of him without blinking, and he would meditate before every pen, which showed that what Zhu Zimo was painting at the moment should be very important to Zhu Zimo!

However, after only a few strokes, Zhu Zimo covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed a few times, and after the cough was over, he saw Zhu Zimo continue to paint with a focused expression.

That's it, he painted for a long time under the torture of wind and cold coughing, and finally, Zhu Zimo lifted the high-grade sheep's hair in his hand, and looked at the rice paper in front of him with a smile on his face, that comfortable look, obviously Zhu Zimo had completed the painting, and he was very satisfied with the completion!

I saw Zhu Zimo lowering his eyes and looking at the scenery on the papercase, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper......

At this moment, the door of the study seemed to be blown open by a strong gust of wind, but it closed quickly in the next second, and when the door closed, there was a heavy "clang" sound, which was not at all as soft and silent as when Lu Xueyue closed the door and left.

But in an instant, I saw that there seemed to be a black line crossing the room, and before Zhu Zimo could react, opposite Zhu Zimo, there was already a person standing steadily only two steps away from the mahogany bookcase!

Zhu Zimo raised his eyes to look at the sheep in his hand, but casually glanced at the person standing opposite his bookcase. Seeing that Zhu Zimo immediately put down the high-grade sheep in his hand and stood up, he respectfully lowered his head to the other party and called, "Master!"

Before he called out, Zhu Zimo coughed uncontrollably twice, just. Zhu Zimo's most respected master is now standing opposite him, Zhu Zimo is afraid of being rude in front of his master, and he doesn't even dare to cough loudly, the coughing sound that is so suppressed that it can't be suppressed anymore makes people feel uncomfortable just listening to it.

Follow the direction of Zhu Zimo's gesture and look over. I saw that the visitor was stepping on the clouds and dark pattern boots, wearing a light blue corset long coat, a wide belt embroidered with dark patterns of the same color at the waist, and a light gray long Confucian robe. A pair of hands slung proudly behind his back, and the wide sleeves covered both palms.

Looking up, I saw that the comer's full head of gorgeous hair was only casually tied up with a gray hairband at the back of his head, but most of the gorgeous hair was casually draped. Looking ahead, the visitor wore a white expressionless mask with only two round holes in his eyes to see.

A closer look reveals that there are two robes on the inside and outside of the visitor. Except for the simple moire embroidered on the collar and cuffs, there is no floral decoration in the rest of the garment, and it is very simple. Looking at that person's figure and such a dress, it is not difficult to guess that the other party is a man!

didn't seem to hear Zhu Zimo's suppressed cough, only to see the man who was called "master" by Zhu Zimo nodded slightly at Zhu Zimo with that white expressionless mask, and said in a calm but neutral voice: "Ziyan." ”

Hearing the man's words calling him, Zhu Zimo withdrew his hands and hung them at his side, and did not speak, only respectfully tied his hands and lowered his eyes and stood quietly behind the bookcase.

Zhu Zimo knows deeply that today. Since his master took the initiative to go down to the top of Qinshan Mountain to look for him, he must have something very important to say to him, and he just had to listen quietly.

The two were silent for a while, and finally it was the man with the mask on his face who spoke up first: "Ziyan." As a teacher, I heard that 12 days ago, at the border of Dazhang Kingdom, Liang Lanyue, the ninth princess of Liangguo, was assassinated on the way to get married, and Liang Lanyue was killed, and none of the people who accompanied her relatives were spared. matter. You sent someone to do it!"

Because the man had a mask on his face, he couldn't see his expression, and he could only hear that his voice was light and stern, so that people didn't dare to look at him directly.

Facing the master who had the grace of teaching him and even saving his life, Zhu Zimo did not dare to deceive him, and replied in a low voice: "Master Yu, it was indeed done by the subordinates of the apprentice faction. ”

Zhu Zimo's voice fell, and he first asked with a cold snort, and then heard the man's voice and asked angrily: "Then can you answer for the teacher, since you have killed Liang Lanyue, why don't you even let go of the team to send your relatives? That's a full 300 lives! Could it be that you have forgotten the 'God has the virtue of a good life' that the teacher taught your senior brothers? As a teacher, you didn't take it into account, so you ordered your subordinates to kill so much outside, so that the border of Dazhang Country was bleeding for a while! ! Ziyan, do you think that you left the top of Qinshan Mountain and became the master of the Holy Gate of this Heaven, and your wings were stiff, so you even dared to disobey the teachings of the teacher?"

Hearing the man's questioning words, Zhu Zimo was silent.

Although Zhu Zimo did not issue a killing order at that time, after all, the killer was Xuanwu, one of his most powerful and trusted subordinates. The four of them, the Green Dragon and White Tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku have always been very measured, and Zhu Zimo believes that since Xuanwu did that, she has her own reasons.

Zhu Zimo thinks that as the master of the Heavenly Holy Gate, he can't blame all the faults on his subordinates, if he does this, it will be unjust, and he will be sorry for those subordinates who are loyal to him, swear to follow him, and will not regret even if they give their lives for him when performing tasks!

Although it was not Zhu Zimo who ordered the killing of all the people in the family sending team, it was Zhu Zimo's subordinates who did it after all. If it was a subordinate next to him, it would be fine, but the person who gave the killing order was Xuanwu raised by Zhu Zimo, no matter how chaotic, Zhu Zimo felt that he himself could not escape the blame!

However, although Zhu Zimo has the responsibility of poor discipline and strict teaching, he can't take all the fault on himself, let alone put all the fault on Xuanwu, so Zhu Zimo can only choose to be silent.

Seeing that Zhu Zimo always lowered his eyes and didn't say a word, the man suddenly sighed, and said with regret: "That's it, since the person is dead, there is no point in pursuing it anymore!"

Originally, Zhu Zimo was ready to be reprimanded by his master, and even taught and punished, but when he heard his master speak like this, Zhu Zimo couldn't react, and even mistakenly thought that he had heard it wrong for a while-

After all, in the early years, when Zhu Zimo was still studying art at the top of Qinshan Mountain, Zhu Zimo's master often warned Zhu Zimo: Don't kill at will, if you can let one go, you will be one, and you must accumulate more virtue......s!

However, the man didn't give Zhu Zimo time to react, only to hear the man's voice fall, and then said in a stern tone: "It's just that, Ziyan, you have to remember that those who win the world must first win the hearts of the people, this is an eternal truth." If outsiders don't know what you're doing, it's good, but once you do, there will be many innocent people involved in you. What do you do, the teacher will not discipline too much, but if you want to harm living beings, then the teacher can't let you do whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zimo lowered his head, and then replied in a low voice: "The apprentice must follow the master's teachings." ”

I only heard the voice of the man who took a deep breath and slowly spit out, and then, with his hands behind him, slowly paced to the window of the study, looking up at the blurred blue sky outside through the thin white curtain on the closed window sash, and his voice was still stern: "Ziyan, the congratulatory gift that your third master disciple Mo (Lin Xiaoyang) gave to your wife is still in your hand on the day you got married!"

Zhu Zimo was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded in response: "Yes." So much happened after the wedding that the apprentice still hasn't given Bering to the apprentice's wife. ”

The man still looked at the sky outside the window, and said in a light tone: "When the teacher leaves, you will immediately send someone to send Bering to her, and let someone tell her that Bering, no matter when and where, you must not leave your body, even if you are bathing, you must carry it with you, and you must not lose it!"

Regarding the "she" in his master's mouth, there is no need to say that Zhu Zimo also knows that he is talking about Leng Qing. It's just that Zhu Zimo couldn't understand why his master wanted him to send someone to "give" Bering to Leng Qing? Could it be that his master already knew that Leng Qing was no longer in Zhu's Mansion?

Knowing that Zhu Zimo was confused in his heart, the man took the initiative to explain: "The teacher already knows that she has left the Great Liang Country and gone to the Red Ice Country with your senior brother Ziming, and they have been away from the Great Liang Country for more than half a month, so I think it will be four or five days before I enter the capital of the Red Ice Country!"

"Yes. On that day, when the apprentice sent the third junior brother to Jiangnan on the order of the apprentice, she disappeared, and a few days later, the apprentice learned that she had left the Great Liang Country with the senior brother and went to the Red Ice Country. Zhu Zimo said without a trace of concealment.

In fact, Zhu Zimo knew that whether it was Liang Lanyue's matter or Leng Qing's matter, even if he tried his best to conceal it, it would be useless, and Zhu Zimo still had some understanding of his master's skills. For his master, Zhu Zimo always adheres to the attitude of honesty and never deception.

However, having said that, if it weren't for him as a master, Zhu Zimo would never have called Yan Ziming "Senior Brother"!

"There is one more thing to be a teacher. The man said, looked sideways at Zhu Zimo standing behind the bookcase, and asked indifferently: "In the past few years, Mu Ziru, a well-known impermanent ghost doctor in the rivers and lakes of the Nine Kingdoms, is also your subordinate!" )
