Listening to his explanation, Cen Chi didn't say anything quickly, just let out a slight but long breath. This room is the work of the man, and standing in such a room is as if standing beside him, stepping on the long figure he left in the daylight. These trance-like touches made Cen Chi unconsciously think of some of the past.

He is not a person who likes and is prone to nostalgia, just because that person suddenly disappeared from this world, and this development of events fueled his longing for that person. But because of the disappearance of that person, these thoughts can only be pinned on his past.

"Senior brother, you don't seem to be very concerned about Senior Brother Lin's affairs." After a moment of silence, Cen Chi raised his eyes to look at Xixin and asked a question a little abruptly.

Xi Xin was slightly stunned by his question, but he quickly came back to his senses and replied calmly: "If Senior Brother Lin really dies, as fellow disciples, the more important thing we can do should be to protect what he left behind as much as possible." I think the same thing as you do, and the other thing I agree with you is that I don't believe he can ...... so easily."

Xi Xin closed his mouth without saying this, and at the same time, he saw Cen Chi's slightly dim eyes light up.

"Maybe it was the years of house arrest in the north that the impact on me was too bad...... Maybe it's because I've been here for a few years. After a moment of silence, when Di Xixin spoke again, there was an obvious layer of ambiguity in his words, as if he was describing his own state of mind. However, at the end of the sentence, it seems that this is not all the case: "I am the earliest disciple who entered the master's sect, and if I want to mention the friendship of the master, I should be the one with the most heart." I was able to escape from house arrest in the northern country thanks to the help of Senior Brother Lin, but I ......"

"Nope." Before Xi Xin hesitated to finish the last few words of the sentence, Cen Chi suddenly cut off.

He let out a low sigh after that. He continued slowly: "I shouldn't have asked you that question just now, because I was looking at things in the wrong direction and forgot the other most important thing at the moment. Big brother, I have to apologize to you. ”

"Can't blame you. In the final analysis, it was I who lost the master and the younger brother. There was a look of loss in Xixin's eyes, and after a pause, he said again: "Among all the disciples of the Beili family, I am afraid that I am the most aggrieved and incompetent in my life. ”

"Don't say that." Cen Chi approached Xixin's side. He shook his arm, "Regardless of the six hundred and thirty-two years of the sect, there have been many kinds of people among the twenty-first generation of disciples. Just talk about myself, and I will never deny that you are my senior brother in my life. ”

Xi Xin's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and the arm held by Cen Chi trembled slightly. He suddenly laughed and said, "Your senior brother will make trouble for you except that he has no ability to help you. ”

"It's hard to get me. can be considered troublesome. Cen Chi replied with a relaxed smile.

He let go of Xixin's hand, raised his palm and bent his fingers and pinched it slightly, and then said with a smile: "In the past few years of living in the master's sect, only counting the number of times you helped me to take the sin in front of the master, and when I was fighting with Senior Brother Lin, I got involved in persuading you to be beaten and you were also beaten, and these things were added together." I've owed you no less than twenty or thirty times. ”

"You still have room in your mind to put these trivial things, I have almost forgotten about it, aren't you reminding me to ask you for debts?" Xi said with a gentle smile in his eyes, "But... You just said that. Since I am your senior brother, how can I count such things in front of you one by one? ”

After that, he took out something from the inside of the loose plain monk's robe, handed it to Cen Chi, and said, "It's just that I'm going to make trouble for you this time." It's not too simple, you can't bear the name of senior brother anymore! ”

Cen Chi stared at the bamboo skewer handed by Xixin. didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, but after staring at it, he said in surprise: "You haven't thrown this thing away yet?!" ”

……

After a few words of conversation with the maid Xiao Qiang in the house in the afternoon, I learned that Cen Chi would stay in the temple for a while in the afternoon, and the two Xiangfu guards who escorted Cen Chi here today finally stopped waiting at the temple gate like two javelins, and rested in the corner room of the outer courtyard of the small temple.

After eating the rice sent by the temple monk at noon, the stewed vegetables in clear water and several wooden barrels of steamed rice made the two Xiangfu senior generals, who usually have no meal and no meat, feel that their mouths are lightly sour.

The two of them could still endure a meal, but not long after lunch, a monk brought a pot of tea......

So, in the corner room next to the temple gate, I saw two young men with knives sitting opposite each other across a small table, staring at a coarse porcelain teapot in the center of the table with introverted eyes, but they were all in a daze, no one moved the teacup for a long time, just waiting for a pot of hot tea to slowly cool down.

The two of them sat like this for a long time, and the gaze of the Prime Minister on the left side of the table, which had been falling on the spout of the teapot, suddenly moved. I don't know what kind of motive it is, he opened his mouth seemingly casually, but he finally broke the silence in the room that was about to freeze: "I heard many people say that this young man surnamed Cen is a natural genius. ”

He spoke in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself, but now it was just him and another Minister's Protector in the room, and of course he was speaking to the Guardian who was sitting with him.

The Xiangfu Nurse sitting on the right side of the table quickly responded: "Not only do others say so, but Xiangye and Gongzi also think so. However, it is precisely because Xiangye and Gongzi are so praised that others will say so! ”

The person mentioned in the words of the two was naturally Cen Chi, who was escorted by them today. It's just that his words don't contain much respect for Cen Chi, at least not like Xiao Qiang's reverence for Cen Chi.

These two people have strong martial arts and are two of the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion who directly serve the prime minister. Prime Minister Shi Xin ranked them according to the comprehensive ability of these ten generals, and now the one sitting on the left of the table is Feng Jiu, and the one on the right of the table is two levels higher than Feng Jiu, known as Tian Qi.

As their titles indicate, the Ten Families only retained their own family names in their titles, and the names were directly replaced by ability rankings. The ten generals are not from high backgrounds, and the original names are not meritorious, and the arrangement of the Prime Minister's Mansion is simple and clear, and they have no objections.

However, although Feng Jiu and Tian Qi have both entered the ranks of the ten generals, in the general ranking of the ten generals, both of them are ranked at the bottom. But even so, in the Xiangfu Nursing Academy, they can be regarded as having a good identity.

The members of the Ten Families had escorted Shi Jing's carriage to the gate of the palace more than once, and Feng Jiu and Tian Qi were naturally no exception. I have seen the kind of battle pomp of the emperor's family, in addition to exercising their good discipline, it has also faintly increased some of the arrogance in their hearts. For the guests and even the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they did not have much real respect, and most of the time they just held an attitude of obeying the Prime Minister's instructions and doing routine things.

Responsible for the task of traveling safely for the guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is not the first time that these two people have done it. However, they rarely came into contact with Cen Chi, except that when Cen Chi lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he rarely went out to visit friends and went to the restaurant, and he didn't go upstairs to linger in the flowers, so he had very few opportunities to be escorted.

In addition, Cen Chi often left the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, so two of the ten generals in the mansion almost became his exclusive guards. And because of this kind of guard duty, once these two guards followed Cen Chi out of the mansion, they would not return for a long time, so that the members of the ten generals in the other mansions could hardly contact this somewhat special guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Therefore, since yesterday afternoon after receiving the task of accompanying Cen Chi to visit the temple today, Feng Jiu and Tian Qi, who were in charge of this matter, were a little curious. For Cen Chi, they unconsciously paid more attention. Along the way, what he saw and felt about Cen Chi on the road was also very different from the officialdom and strict palace that the two of them usually see.

This prodigy, who is valued and respected by the prime minister and the son, is actually very close to an ordinary person, and he did not give others anything because of the importance of the prime minister and the son.

However, the reason why he is close to an ordinary person is because from a detailed point of view, the feeling he gives to these two nurses is still different from ordinary people.

Traveling with him today, there is also Shi Sangongzi's maid Xiaoqiang who has long been arranged for Cen Chi to serve him. Xiao Qiang is considered a more qualified servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she has stayed by Cen Chi's side for a long time, but when she walked with Cen Chi, Feng and Tian Erren, who were bystanders, deeply felt her redundancy, to be precise, it was the world difference between her and Cen Chi.

I don't know how Cen Chi usually can stand her......

Along the way, Xiao Qiang was almost constantly chattering and asking questions, and Cen Chi had always been very patient with her. If in such a situation, the maximum patience table is to know everything, then the patience that Cen Chi table xiàn comes out will be a step further, and there are questions that must be answered.

The maid Xiaoqiang he faced was not a student of the academy. If you are a scholar, most of the questions you ask should be confined to teaching books. But all the questions that Xiaoqiang asks come from her curiosity, and this kind of questions that are piled up with shallow knowledge or even ignorance are often unanswered. But it is in this questioning environment that Cen Chi can still give answers that satisfy Xiaoqiang's curiosity and persuade her to doubt.

For example, Xiao Qiang asked about the origin of the small temple, and the answer to this question seems to be difficult to explain and the origin is complicated. Cen Chi only briefly explained, saying that the small temple had originally existed here for a long time, and later Kyoto was expanded, and the new siege after the extension surrounded the small temple into the inner city, so the small temple was also expanded. Xiao Qiang was naturally not interested in learning about some rigid information related to the year, the founder and the system, and Cen Chi just skipped it.
