72.Chapter 72

After Song Yuzhi and Song Shidao whispered, Ling Chusi finally ended the conversation with Dugu Feng and walked over again.

Li Shimin glanced over, nodded slightly at Li Xiuning, and then turned around and walked over, intending to stand with Ling Chusi again, but he did not hide the fact that he had a "friendship" with Ling Chusi, who had seriously injured his concubine Xuan in the afternoon.

Seeing this, Song Yuzhi hurriedly pushed his eldest brother Song Yuzhi and urged in a low voice: "Go quickly!" ”

"......" Song Yuzhi glanced back at his sister-in-law, and Song Yuzhi hurriedly made an expression to signal him again.

Soon, Ling Chusi, Li Shimin and Song Shidao stood together again as they came.

In this way, three people who should not have been able to beat the eight poles stood together, and when others saw it, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and they also pondered in their hearts......

Not long after, Wang Bo, who invited all the heroes and heroes to come here for a group meeting, appeared.

First, there was a routine scene, Ling Chusi was still listening casually, but at this moment, a person dressed as a weak scholar came over to Ling Chusi while coughing lowly.

Ling Chusi turned his head keenly and met the eyes of the weak scholar, only to suddenly realize that this person had a β–‘β–‘ on his face, but his eyes were as bright as stars.

It was these deep and bright eyes, as if they were still smiling, that Ling Chusi was very familiar.

Ling Chusi retracted his gaze, his face already sinking slightly.

Song Shidao and Li Shimin, who were next to them, naturally noticed the change in Ling Chusi's feelings, and the two were just about to start shushing and asking for warmth, but they opened their mouths at the same time and bumped into each other, immediately, the two of them glanced at each other, and the two of them would not be annoying to talk to themselves at the same time, so after a short confrontation, Li Shimin, who had a sharper and sharper personality, seized the opportunity.

"Chu Si, what's wrong?" Li Shimin lowered his head slightly, glanced at the sick scholar who had unknowingly come to the three of them and seemed harmless just now, and then whispered to Ling Chusi with concern.

Ling Chusi pursed her lips, and immediately shook her head, there was a bit of unpleasant coldness in her voice, she tried her best to suppress her anger, and said softly to Li Shimin as gently as possible: "It's okay." ”

At this time, Wang Bo, the host of this group of heroes, happened to say that this afternoon, in the public of Luoyang City, Cihang Jingzhai's concubine Xuan Fairy was seriously injured.

The eyes of everyone present couldn't help but turn to Ling Chusi, who had a cold and indifferent face.

However, after seeing Li Shimin of Longxi Li Valve and Song Shidao of Lingnan Song Valve standing beside her at the same time, many heroes and heroes present were stunned, and their hearts immediately moved, and some people immediately remembered that when Ling Chusi and Concubine Xuan made a move this afternoon, Li Shimin and Song Shidao were also present.

Although Li Shimin has indeed come forward to protect his concubine, it can be said that he has made his position of friendship with Cihang Jingzhai, but at this time, Li Shimin is still standing by Ling Chusi's side, and such an action clearly has the meaning of standing on Ling Chusi's side.

In addition, Song Shidao, who seems to be gentle and generous, but with his identity, he is destined to be not easy to provoke, is also standing by Ling Chusi's side, and Dugu Feng, who has just had a good conversation with Ling Chusi, the four major families, there are actually three families who are showing their friendly attitude with Ling Chusi. Today's participants in the group of heroes are heroes from all over the world, and their ability to judge the situation is not weak, and this unexpected situation naturally can't help but think about it by everyone present.

Even Wang Bo quickly glanced at Ling Chusi, who was expressionless.

Although the atmosphere in the Manqing Courtyard tonight was strange, however, as Wang Bo said that tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Shi Fei Xuan was unable to attend today's group meeting due to injury, it was inevitable that after regretting it, he sighed lightly, and immediately ordered a banquet, and tried to weaken the serious injury of Shi Fei Xuan, as the delicious delicacies were brought to the table, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to ease slightly.

At the night banquet, there was a staggered mix of money, although whether it was food or wine, in fact, it was just to cope with the scene, and no one really sent it to the stomach.

Ling Chusi sat at the table, frowning slightly. Yi Rongcheng was a sick and weak scholar, and at this time, because Ji Xiaobai, who was seriously injured by Ling Chusi and was really weak, squeezed to Ling Chusi's side as if no one was around, even if Ling Chusi ignored him at all, but he himself seemed to be unconscious, but after Wang Bo said a few words, he lowered his voice and gently reminded Ling Chusi: "Wang Bo has a deep friendship with the Zen master of the Pure Meditation Zen Sect, the monk Kong, today's concubine Xuan was seriously injured and did not dedicate herself to this, and the scattered person Ning Daoqi also disappeared, presumablyβ€”β€”"

Before Ji Xiaobai finished speaking, Ling Chusi directly crushed a wine glass with a slight frown.

With a "crisp" sound, the people at the same table suddenly stagnated their breath, and within three feet of the surrounding area, they fell into a silent silence in an instant.

Ji Xiaobai also silenced, although he still had a gentle smile on his face, however, seeing Ling Chusi's so tired and impatient appearance, even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when he really encountered this situation, he still couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart, and even a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, he wanted to step forward to persuade him, but he was afraid of annoying Ling Chusi again, and for a while, he was a little hesitant.

Even Li Shimin and Song Shidao were a little shocked to see Ling Chusi's reaction.

Especially Song Shidao, who went all the way to Luoyang with Ling Chusi, got along day and night for a period of time, even if it was just a mediocre boat ride, but Song Shidao also felt that Ling Chusi was really not the kind of eldest lady with a delicate temper - well, he admitted that what he compared with Ling Chusi was his sister Song Yuzhi, who was quite simple and reckless and willful outside with the name of Song Valve's "young master".

Under normal circumstances, in the eyes of unfamiliar outsiders, Ling Chusi's temper is actually the same as her delicate and gentle face, gentle and elegant, and generous.

- As for Ling Chusi's sudden change of face this afternoon because he met his concubine, Song Shidao completely attributed it to the fact that there was a reason for the incident, so Ling Chusi's appearance was more unusual, and he didn't consider it at all, Ling Chusi's original personality was probably completely different from what he thought......

"Enough!" Ling Chusi suddenly said coldly.

After hearing such a seemingly clueless sentence, Li Shimin and Song Shidao were still a little dazed, but Ji Xiaobai, who appeared here, was in a burst of unstoppable pain and gloom.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Bai Fenghan, who also brought β–‘β–‘ in, sat at a table near the corner of the wall under the tree, which was quite disliked, and secretly looked at the situation on Ling Chusi's side from a distance.

"Sister Chu Si seems to have been cold-faced, isn't this unhappy?" Xu Ziling has always been subtle, and quite gentle and caring, seeing that Ling Chusi was unhappy, a little worry also appeared on his face.

Kou Zhong also twisted his eyebrows, stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Ziling and said, "Didn't you say that she was fine when I saw Sister Chu Si in the afternoon?" ”

The corners of Ba Fenghan's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, not only is it good, but it also beat the senior concubine Xuan to a serious injury......

The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly no one said a word.

After a while, Ling Chusi got up directly and whispered hello to Li Shimin and Song Shidao beside him, "I'll go out for a walk." But he simply ignored Ji Xiaobai, who was sick and weak, so that Li Shimin, Song Shidao and others couldn't be vigilant at all.

Song Shidao was slightly stunned, but Li Shimin was thinking about the history of the little girl outside Taiyuan City, and immediately decided: "I'll go for a walk with Chu Si!" ”

Song Shidao, who had never thought that Li Shimin would be able to do such a thing, didn't care about stopping it for a while, as for Ji Xiaobai, he had the heart to follow, but Ling Chusi's indifferent face really made him feel a pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to get any closer......

"Oops, Sister Chu Si is here!" Kou Zhong let out a low voice, and Xu Ziling almost hurriedly wanted to shrink under the table, so angry that Ba Fenghan almost wanted to give them a kick by one person, "You two are wearing masks, what are you afraid of!" ”

At this moment, Ling Chusi heard the movement, and subconsciously glanced over, her fingers were slender and flexible, and the Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute she was holding seemed to contain a faint layer of soft light in the night, so that people could know that this flute was extraordinary.

After meeting Ling Chusi's gaze, Ba Fenghan was suddenly stunned, and he didn't care about making trouble with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

After Ling Chusi retracted his gaze and walked away, Kou Zong and Xu Ziling came up in the center, and when they saw that Ba Fenghan looked like he had been struck by lightning, they couldn't help but be surprised: "Old Ba? What's wrong with you, old man? ”

Bai Fenghan suddenly grabbed Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's sleeves and asked, "You said before that you met Ling Chusi more than ten years ago?" ”

"That's right, Xiaoling and I had a relationship with Sister Chu Si in Yangzhou more than ten years ago, what's wrong with you, Lao Ba? Startled, weird and scary. Kou Zhong looked at Ba Fenghan's eyes that were shining like cold in the night, and couldn't help but be surprised, he also wanted to reach out and touch Ba Fenghan's head to see if he had fallen into evil.

While dodging Kou Zhong's claws, Bai Fenghan couldn't help but ask, "More than ten years ago, Ling Chusi was still a child, right?" Did she look like she was then and now? ”

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong glanced at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, Kou Zhong touched his chin and thought seriously: "Although Sister Chu Si has always been very beautiful, however, she looked like her when she was a child and now, except for the outline at first glance, if you look closely, it really doesn't look very similar." ”

After thinking about it, Kou Zhong couldn't help but say, "Sister Chu Si looks at it now, but she has a much better temper than when she was a child!" By the way, I see that her clothing preferences have not changed much over the years, but the flute in her hand, from the original one, to the current one, which looks special before. ”

Ba Fenghan was silent for a long time, and then said in a subtle tone: "The flute in Ling Chusi's hand before can't be an ape bone flute, right?" ”

Xu Ziling suddenly looked at Ba Fenghan with some shock, "How do you know, old Ba?" Have you seen Sister Chu Si before!? ”

Bai Fenghan nodded in a complicated mood, and at the same time, Kou Zhong also nested in the corner and lowered his voice and screamed: "What, Sister Chu Si's flute before was made of ape bones?" No wonder I look a little weird about that texture! ”

Ba Fenghan couldn't help but mutter, "What the hell is going on with her?" When I was a child, I obviously lived in Yangzhou, why did I run to the Turks for some reason? ”

Ba Fenghan's question was not answered by Yangzhou Shuanglong Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, but at the same time, Ling Chusi, who had already walked into the winding backyard of Manqing Courtyard and was quite quiet today, suddenly stood still, turned around and looked back at Li Shimin, who had been silently following behind.

"Chu Si?" Seeing a faint smile that seemed to flash quickly on Ling Chusi's face, Li Shimin couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Is it convenient to go out tonight?" Ling Chusi asked him bluntly.

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, thinking that he had just signaled to his sister-in-law Li Xiuning to come over to find Ling Chusi, but he didn't mention the words that he would not return tonight......

However, even so, Li Shimin was convinced that Ling Chusi was definitely targeted, since she would suddenly put forward this statement, after Li Shimin thought about it for a while, even if Li Valu's men had not yet been arranged, he still nodded immediately.

"Okay," Ling Chusi finally smiled slightly, and said briskly, "You want to be with the family, right?" Let's go to Zen Buddhism! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was still a little shocked in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

Ling Chusi looked at him and blinked seriously, "He's Bi, don't you want it?" ”

"I want to! But-" Li Shimin replied subconsciously, however, when he suddenly heard Ling Chusi say these words to him, he was simply shocked and a little incoherent, "But Pure Nian Zen Buddhism-tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Sanren Ning Daoqi has not yet shown up, even if the senior concubine Xuan is injured, I ...... about this matter."

Ling Chusi patiently replied: "In Wang Bo's words just now, the meaning is actually very clear, the senior concubine Xuan is seriously injured, and tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, it is impossible for Cihang Jingzhai to send another person whose identity and prestige can match that of the senior concubine. ”

After a slight pause, Ling Chusi also deliberately explained one more sentence: "Fan Qinghui is definitely impossible, now Cihang Jingzhai and the Yin Sect are all young people who walk the rivers and lakes, with her identity, it is impossible to suddenly come forward for this, otherwise she will fall behind!" In other words, the so-called 'substitute for the chosen master' will definitely be out of action tomorrow! ”

Li Shimin only hesitated for a moment, and even after making up his mind, he directly followed Ling Chusi's side by step, and walked side by side with her: "What about the Pure Mind Zen Sect?" Chu Si, how do you know that He's Bi is now in the hands of the Pure Mind Zen Sect? ”

Ling Chusi glanced sideways at him, and then replied softly, "I heard Gongzi Song say that taking He's Bi with you will affect people's minds. In this way, it is Ning Daoqi, who is known as the first person in the Central Plains, and I am afraid that he will not always take He's Bi with him! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately realized that although Jingnian Zen Buddhism has always been low-key, it is not comparable to their relationship with Cihang Jingzhai, in the rivers and lakes, Jingnian Zen Buddhism and Cihang Jingzhai have always been respected as the leaders of Baidao martial arts.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Cihang Jingzhai set this big drama of "choosing the lord on behalf of heaven" in Luoyang, and its original purpose is probably to be kept by the pure Zen sect to help keep it and the family. After all, the temple of Jingnian Zen Buddhism occupies a huge area, and a few houses are vacated to place He's Bi to avoid it directly affecting others, and in the name of Jingnian Zen, the location of He's Bi has leaked news, and it is estimated that no one dares to come to provoke, so this arrangement is the most appropriate way.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but whisper to Ling Chusi with some uncertainty: "Let's just go to Zen Buddhism?" They were entrusted by Cihang Jingzhai to keep the Hebi family, how could they be willing to give it to me......"

After a pause, Li Shimin thought with some hesitation, in fact, what he wanted to ask more was why Ling Chusi was willing to help him with this.

After all, although Li Shimin found Ling Chusi under the banner of a young acquaintance, he didn't think that such a friendship that would not take half an hour could make Ling Chusi work so hard to plot for him to seize the Heshi Bi!

When Ling Chusi heard this, he couldn't help but glance sideways at him, and after thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and whispered lightly: "We can hand over the worship post first, think about it, my post, Pure Meditation Zen Sect should be accepted." Then, it's nothing more than saluting first and then soldiering! ”

After hesitating for a long time, when the two of them left the Manqing Courtyard in Luoyang City and walked out along the Luoyang City Gate, they began to gallop more and more, Li Shimin finally couldn't help but ask the question that Pan Huan had been thinking about for a long time: "Chu Si, why do you help me so much?" In comparison, it was Song Shidao of Song Valve who had been with Ling Chusi for a little longer.

Ling Chusi replied without any hesitation: "Looking at the current situation, the fall of the Sui Dynasty is inevitable!" The world is gradually rising, all over the strong, rebel armies are emerging like the first bamboo shoots after the rain, it is the time when the heroes are competing for the deer, anyway, there will always be a family that finally regains the whole world, in comparison, I am more biased towards you, that's all! ”

Ling Chusi said calmly, Li Shimin listened, but his heart was shocked, and a wave of pride surged.

Even, he also keenly noticed a title in Ling Chusi's words, what she said was directly "you", not "you", coupled with Ling Chusi's previous actions, Li Shimin naturally had a final account in his heart!

No matter what the reason is, Ling Chusi is the one who chose Li Shimin and is willing to support Li Shimin. In other words, what Ling Chusi really prefers in his heart is actually Li Shimin himself, not Li Valve in Longxi!

Although Li Shimin did not say this subtle difference, however, in Li Shimin's subsequent relationship with Ling Chusi, this kind of unreserved trust and intimacy that made Ji Xiaobai hate Li Shimin almost immediately wanted to kill him, was commonplace and common when Ling Chusi was dedicated to helping him!

After Ling Chusi and Li Shimin left Wang Bo's meeting in the Manqing Academy, accompanied by the starry sky and the melting moonlight, they rode their horses all the way directly after leaving Luoyang City, and finally came to the gate of the temple of Jingnian Zen Buddhism in a piece of grass and trees.

At this time, the keeper of the Pure Mind Zen sect was still a young novice, because it was late and it was not cold outside at night, so the little novice was sitting cross-legged on a futon, tilting his head and dozing off.

Ling Chusi stepped forward in a few steps, took the greeting slip in his hand and shook it in front of Xiao Shami's nose, the rich aroma on the letterhead made Xiao Shami sneeze unconsciously, and then he also woke up in a daze.

Only then did Ling Chusi shove the prayer slip he had brought over into Xiao Shami's hand, and laughed softly: "Trouble the little master to send a letter to Master Kong!" ”

Xiao Shami looked at Ling Chusi with a smile on his face a little blankly, nodded subconsciously, and then grabbed the post and turned his head and ran in.

Ling Chusi turned around and walked to Li Shimin's side, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she and Ji Xiaobai came here with her, her heart sank, and even erased the figure of that person from her mind, just looking at the gate of Pure Nian Zen Buddhism that has been the same for decades, but the age has become more and more ancient, she couldn't help but smile softly and sighed: "The last time I came here, it was almost ten years ago. At that time, I met a little novice named Wuxin, and now, Wuxin's child has grown up! ”

Li Shimin listened to Ling Chusi's old-fashioned words, and felt a little dumbfounded, and chuckled: "Ten years ago, you were just a child!" ”

Ling Chusi was stunned for a moment, and for a while he didn't know how to refute.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he looked at her rare stunned appearance.

At this time, the little novice who was guarding the door just now had already come out with a big monk.

Ling Chusi raised his head, and suddenly couldn't help but smile and said, "Yo, Master Yuanfa, meet again!" ”

"......" Yuanfa, who was almost killed by Ling Chusi in the courtyard of the Pure Nian Zen Sect, twitched the corners of his mouth, folded his hands and saluted: "Two donors, please come in, Zen master is invited!" ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened in surprise slightly, although he came with Ling Chusi, but he really didn't expect that Ling Chusi's prayer post would be so effective in the Pure Nian Zen Sect, after all, the two of them came to visit at night, and the worship post was also handed over in a hurry, and the Pure Nian Zen Sect really received them overnight?

Ling Chusi's expression was relaxed, and he didn't mention anything about the big trouble he made about Pure Nian Zen Buddhism back then, and even had the mood to chat with Yuanfa for a few words, and asked about the current situation of the four masters of Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism, who were not angry, not stupid, not greedy, and not afraid of the four masters, and made the Yuanfa who was worried when he saw Ling Chusi so much that he didn't even want to say anything.

Coincidentally, after the Yuanfa monk took Ling Chusi and Li Shimin to the hall where Master Kong was entertaining, Yuanfa began to shut up, and Master Kong, who really refused to speak, looked at Ling Chusi and Li Siming seriously, and then bowed his head slightly.

After sitting for a moment with the empty monk staring at each other, Ling Chusi's attitude was also very straightforward, and he said straightforwardly: "Second Prince Li and I came here today just to be stored here for the He family!" I wonder if the old monk is willing to cut his love? ”

There was not the slightest hint of emotion on Monk Likong's face, he just looked at Ling Chu seriously, and then shook his head gently.

The Yuanfa monk next to him helped explain: "That piece of He's bi was put in the Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism by Cihang Jingzhai and asked the predecessors of the Sanren Ning Daoqi to put it in the Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism, and it was not a thing of the Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism. What Miss Ling said asked me to purify my thoughts on Zen Buddhism and cut my love, but it was a bit biased! ”

Ling Chusi and Li Shimin glanced at each other, Ling Chusi's expression was calm, but Li Shimin sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough!
