Chapter 12 - Finding a Partner

Three days later, Wanzhang returned to Gaoliu Mountain.

It was a time when the peonies on the mountain were in full bloom, and the white and red mountains were full of beauty, and she had not seen the beautiful season of peonies blooming in Gaoliu Mountain in May for a long time.

Three days ago, she received the note from her master that only two words were written on it: "Hurry back." Her heart felt like she was being hung up, she knew the master's temperament very well, the more concise and concise she was, the more it meant that the situation was serious, this time she only sent two words, something big must have happened, so even if she was forcing Murong Chong to the critical moment of halfway through, she had to stop and rush back quickly, for fear that she would miss something.

However, when she hurried back to the mountain out of breath, running and screaming everywhere to find the master, she saw ......

This old man is moving a chair and lying under a big tree to eat plums?

A puff fan covered his forehead, crossed Erlang's legs very comfortably, and from time to time reached out to grab a plum and stuffed it into his mouth, and threw the skin and core to the ground, and he almost couldn't see the original color of the earth.

Wanzhang suddenly felt as if she had been deeply deceived, and she was deceived by two people in a row for three days, and everyone would be angry, so she ran over angrily, intending to teach her master a hard lesson.

But halfway through the run, he changed his mind again, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stopped and found a small stone on the ground, lowered his footsteps and quietly walked around, and after going around behind his master, he mixed the stone into the army of plums.

Then he secretly hid behind a big tree and covered his mouth to watch a good show on the side.

"Ah...... My teeth! ”

After a while, a heart-rending sound sounded, and Wan Zhang clapped his hands and walked out from behind the tree, and after letting out a bad breath, he said with great satisfaction:

"Am I early? As the saying goes, peaches raise people, apricots hurt people, bury dead people under plum trees, you eat plums like this, if I arrive two days late, I should just come back to bury you? ”

The old man with his teeth covered his mouth and looked at the mastermind behind all this with tears in his eyes, who turned out to be a good apprentice he hadn't seen for so long, with a toothache and heartache, and cried inarticulately: "It's really the water spilled by the apprentice who went down the mountain, I haven't seen it so much to the master for so long?!" ”

Wanzhang grabbed a plum casually, wiped it with his sleeve and ate it, and glanced at him by the way: "Who told you to lie to me?" ”

"Master, isn't Master missing you?" An old face with tears and a smile came over to her and smiled, and I don't know where to take out a pot of bright peaches, and flattered, "Do you want to eat peaches?" Eat peaches and plums together, neutralize it, and the master is not so stupid to eat himself to death. ”

"Hmph."

Disgusted, he pushed away the peach and walked away, the master had obediently given up the chair for himself, and Wanzhang spit out the kernel in his mouth and sat down, and began to pick plums to eat again, while asking him impatiently, "What is the matter with calling me back?" ”

Her master squatted on the side very doggedly to fan her, squinted and smiled: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you...... How did the master's instructions go? ”

It's okay not to mention this stubble, but after mentioning it, Wanzhang began to blow up his hair again, and said angrily in his throat: "You still dare to say, if you hadn't suddenly called me back, I would have completed most of the matter!" ”

"Huh?"

The poor old man was so frightened by the roar of his vicious apprentice that the fan fell to the ground, and looked at her very innocently.

"Do you know that I could have stayed by Murong Chong's side right away? Thanks to your word 'quick return', it's a good thing to do me! She took a heavy bite of the plum in a puff, and the juice rushed in a parabola to her master's beard.

After hearing this, the old man finally understood what he had done wrong, and reached out to brush his beard in embarrassment, and found that he had brushed a hand of purple juice, and he didn't dare to say anything, but only laughed blindly.

"Baby apprentice, don't be angry, Master knows that you are coming back, and made a table of your favorite dishes, we will talk slowly at the dinner table, talk slowly."

Hearing that there was something to eat, Wanzhang finally softened his tone, but he still didn't forget to roll his arrogant eyes: "Then don't go back quickly." ”

Pheasant mushroom soup, boiled cabbage heart, crispy lotus root sandwich......

Sure enough, they were all her favorite dishes, and as soon as Wanzhang was on the table, she didn't stop chopsticks, her mouth was stuffed, so naturally she didn't have the time to blame the old man, and after eating and drinking, her mood was much more relaxed, and she was no longer as angry as she was just now.

As a teacher, he really knew his apprentice's weakness and temperament very well, and when he saw that Wanzhang was angry, he dared to tell his plan little by little in a roundabout way.

"Zhang'er, do you think that if Master hadn't urged you to come back and disturb your plan, you would have been able to successfully stay with Phoenix Star Monarch?"

After taking a sip of the sour bamboo shoot chicken skin soup, it was sour and appetizing, and when he heard the master ask, Wanzhang began to think about this question carefully.

If there was no master to add to the chaos, would Murong Chong really agree to keep him? To be honest, she wasn't quite sure, and looking at him at the time, I was afraid it was more likely that she would reject herself.

But what can the Master change now that he has urged himself back? Unless...... What did this treacherous old man already have in mind?

Glancing at his master, he found that his expression was very strange, and sure enough, it turned out that he had a plan in mind, so he was waiting for himself to ask.

Okay, then I'll listen to his plan.

Wan Zhang pretended to put down the bowl helplessly and sighed: "Actually, I'm not sure, I've done so much in the past six years, but I haven't been able to attract his attention, Master, do you have any good methods?" ”

Finally waited for the apprentice to be soft and willing to ask for advice, the old man was instantly overjoyed, but he still concealed his strong joy and pride and pretended to be calm, and pretended to be even more mysterious: "Well, the master can't do anything about this." ”

"Okay, I've finished eating anyway, so let's go back to Pingyang as soon as possible and continue to work hard." Wanzhang didn't fall into the trap, got up in a chic way and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait, wait!"

Before he could stand firmly, he felt that his thighs were firmly dragged, and the corners of his mouth hooked, how could this old fox play with the little fox he had raised and raised?

Then he turned around with a sad face: "Master, what do you want, since you can't do it, don't waste my time." ”

"Yes, yes, Master has a way!" The old man pulled her and refused to let her go, and said anxiously, "Master has a way, you sit down first!" ”

Wan Zhang obediently sat down cross-legged and looked at him with an open and teachable expression.

Only then did his master breathe a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice: "Really, what can you do if you ask the master once?" If you don't ask for it, you have to let Master beg you. Everything is for you to eat in vain. ”

"If you don't say it, I'll leave if you don't say it."

"Say, I'm not going to be able to say it's okay!" His master looked like he had been bullied miserably, he couldn't say what was suffering, he was like an oppressed little daughter-in-law, he shook his head and said bitterly:

"Phoenix Xingjun doesn't want to keep you, but it's because you are not enough to make him and the people around him admire, if you can make your reputation for clever and clever in the world, and let the powerful people in the world compete to let you be their doorman, then you can not only bring them the power of a prophet, but also bring them fame, he will definitely take the initiative to come to you."

"Self-proved?"

Wan Zhang pinched her chin and thought for a while, then glanced at her master again, her pitiful eyes were full of scheming that had been precipitated for seventy or eighty years, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and in some ways, it seemed that she still had to learn from him.

Then he quickly smiled and said, "This is really a solution." ”

"The teacher has been calculated a few days ago, the fate of the Great Qin has been exhausted, and in three years later, the battle of Weishui will be defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty now, help them achieve the battle of Weishui, and after three years, you must let the world know your name."

"Go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

Wan Zhang's question was not a doubt, but a secret joy.

She suddenly remembered that she had a friend in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and if she needed to go there, it would not hurt to take refuge in him, and with that person's identity, it should be easier to help her become famous in the world.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he immediately took it to heart, his eyes were like stars, and he said with a radiant look: "Okay." ”

I thought that after the master entrusted the matter, he could leave, and he would go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty earlier to start this plan, but he didn't expect that the old man would become more and more verbose as he got older, and he actually began to ask about some of the things that he didn't have.

After finishing the business, her master stared at her for a long time, until she had goosebumps all over her body, and then showed the appearance of my family having grown up, and asked her gossipily: "Zhang'er, what do you say...... In the past few years, have you met any exciting people? ”

Wan Zhang could only pretend to be stupid very seriously, looking at the master whose face suddenly became obscene in puzzlement, and asked ignorantly, "Heartbeat?" What is Heartbeat? ”

“……”

I saw that her master was speechless for a while, and for a while, his face was as green as a leek, and he looked at her like he was looking at something strange.

"Heartbeat, heartbeat is ......" her master wanted to explain, but couldn't think of a simpler word than this to explain such a simple two words, could it be that he worked hard and spent so much effort to teach the apprentice, in addition to his professional quality, he turned out to be an idiot in terms of feelings? There is probably nothing more failing than this. After a long time, he sighed heavily, "Alas, it's all because the teacher hasn't let you see anything of the world since you were a child." Zhang'er, do you think that Master asked you to go down the mountain this time just so that you could help Phoenix Star Monarch Fuyan? It's also to let you find a partner. ”

Wanzhang still didn't understand the appearance, blinked his eyes, deliberately wanted to stimulate his master, and continued to ask, "What is the object?" ”

Then her master looked helpless, covered his heart and waved his hand at her painfully, for fear that if he continued to play the piano to the cow, he would spit out a mouthful of old blood in a short time:

"You go, everything is fate, don't be angry with me."
