Chapter 7: Kumu Returns to Beijing
Early the next morning
When Zhou Budo woke up again, he saw the familiar layout in the room, and couldn't help but smile, sure enough, that nightmare time was over after all, and he had returned home, back to this place that could bring him a sense of security
Lifting the quilt, Zhou Budo, who was dressed in pajamas, got up to wash, the maids in Zhou's house prepared the hot water early, and put it aside together with the clothes, Zhou Budo wet the towel and wiped his face clearly, changed his clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror
Until now, I saw myself in the mirror, the young man in the mirror, the young master's posture when he was a child has faded by half, I'm afraid he didn't even notice it, after those things, he is no longer the child who grew up in the greenhouse ivory tower before, and he will never return to the peaceful days before
"Alas"
For some reason, Zhou Budo sighed and shook his head, as if he had thought of something
"The child is okay and sighs, sister, have I wronged you?"
At this time, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him, which shocked Zhou Budo, and his face suddenly became ugly, thinking: Why did this devil appear in my room, and the guards in the house and Lao Zhang saw the door, are they all asleep? !
In fact, you don't have to think about it, Zhou Budo knows that as soon as he hears this tone, he knows that the woman is Qingtan, the Qingtan who gave him painful memories
Forget it, hold back, take a step back and open the sky, the sage taught that you can't be as knowledgeable as a woman, Zhou Budo thought secretly, and then adjusted his demeanor, turned to look at Qingtan with a smile, and said with a smile, "Sister Qingtan, why are you here, is there something to find my father, my father should have gone to the court, Sister Qingtan, you should wait a few hours to come again"
Qingtan rolled his eyes and pouted, "Don't put on that smile, pretending to be too tough, I know you can't see me now, and I'm not here to find your father, I'm just here to tell you a few things, and I'll leave after that."
After that, Qingtan found a chair and sat down casually, in front of Zhou Budo, this woman never seemed to pay attention to her manners, and outsiders didn't look at her face and thought that this was the village woman of which village
When Zhou Budo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and walked behind Qingtan, stretched out his hand to pinch her shoulder, and pinched his shoulder and said, "What did Sister Qingtan say, the person I want to see the most is Sister Qingtan who looks like a fairy, hehehe"
"Stop, you're going to slap me like this again, believe it or not I'll let you sleep again?" Qingtan leaned back quite enjoyably, and I have to say that this unlucky child's way of pinching his shoulders is not bad, and he is quite talented
"Then Sister Qingtan is here today, what do you want to tell my brother? Is there anyone who provokes Sister Qingtan, yes, Sister Qingtan told me, there are not many people in the capital, I will be afraid, even if I can't, then I will tell my father, let him make a move, and make sure to give Sister Qingtan your anger" The flattery in Zhou Budo's tone became more and more serious, and it is estimated that the shadow left by Qingtan on him is too big
But Qingtan still just glanced at him, and said, "My senior brother is back, and Ji Wuying also went to Kyoto yesterday."
Qingtan suddenly felt that the kneading force of the pair of small hands on his shoulders suddenly became heavy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, the unlucky child's reaction was still a little improved, and he didn't show it directly, but this shape still had to be controlled, and he was still young
"Let's go back to Beijing on the front foot, Brother Kumu, will they come back on the back foot?" Zhou Budo accidentally said what he thought in his heart directly, so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back and stuck it directly on the wall, for fear that Qingtan would suddenly make a move
The predictable fist did not appear, Qing Tan still looked like a hanger, but replied in a flat tone, "Senior brother is seriously injured, it seems that he has encountered a very strong enemy, as for Ji Wuying, he is also not lightly injured, the two of them returned to Beijing together, after returning to Beijing, senior brother will retreat to recuperate, I also found out this morning"
Thinking of Kumu's sword that day was like a god's sword, Zhou Budo couldn't help but ask, "Brother Kumu's swordsmanship, is there anyone in this world who can seriously injure him?" “
Qing Tan glanced back at Zhou Budo, and said, "You still have too little knowledge, although Senior Brother Kendo has already become a great achievement, but there are no less than five masters who can easily defeat Senior Brother in Nanli Country alone, not to mention being able to fight a person who is seriously injured on both sides of the country with Senior Brother, and there are more than a dozen people in Nanli Country like that" Immediately, Qing Tan inexplicably sighed and said, "Although I also admire Senior Brother for being able to achieve kendo at such an age, but this is the case, I have nothing to say"
Zhou Budo thought of the first time he saw Kumu, the other party's immobile demeanor, as if the sky had fallen and his face did not change, plus that shocking sword, such a person, in order to protect himself, was he also seriously injured?
Qingtan seemed to see the guilt in Zhou Budo's heart, and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, senior brother, he is voluntary, and besides, senior brother is seriously injured, but the person on the other side didn't take advantage, according to what senior brother told me, that person is an archery master, but one arm was directly cut off by a sword by senior brother, don't you say that such a person is the same as half of the martial arts are wasted?"
Although Zhou Budo wanted to open his mouth to explain that he didn't feel guilty, he just opened his mouth and didn't say it, although he was young, he couldn't deceive his heart
Qing Tan saw that he was almost done with what he should have said, got up and walked to the door of the house, and said the last sentence with his back to Zhou Budo before leaving, "Let your father come back from the next dynasty and investigate who is the surname of the commander sent to Shangzhou by the Zhijin Division this month, anyway, your father is quite stiff with the Zhijin Division in the court today, and it is the most suitable to do this."
And after she pushed the door open, she whispered to herself, "Is the hidden master of the Jinsi Division?" ”
Before Zhou Budo could react, Qingtan had already pushed open the door and disappeared, leaving Zhou Budo standing alone in the room, stunned and no longer happy
"You mean, Kuki is seriously injured?"
Zhou Dunyi, who arrived home in the next dynasty, had just arrived in the study, and he heard his son Zhou Budo outside the room asking to see, Zhou Dunyi was in a good mood at this time, so he directly let Zhou Budo come in, but Zhou Budo directly told Zhou Dunyi what Qingtan told him directly
"Yes, Sister Qingtan, she asked me to tell you, let you investigate who the commander of the Zhijin Division sent to Shangzhou this month" Zhou Budo arched his hand, and continued in a firm tone: "Please father, you must help, after all, no matter what Brother Kumu says, he was seriously injured because he protected me!" I've got to find out who that person is."
Looking at Zhou Budo in front of him, Zhou Dunyi was stunned, to be honest, he had never seen his son like this, although Zhou Budo was not a young master before, but it was not like now, the firmness and anger in his eyes, as well as the tightly clenched fist, so seriously asked himself to help with something, I really don't know what happened to this child in the month of disappearance
After Zhou Dunyi reacted, he waved his sleeves and said solemnly, "I will investigate this matter, but you, go back to the room for me to recuperate, I have asked the emperor for his life, let you go to the palace to study with those princes in a few days, you prepare for me, go down"
After Zhou Dunyi asked Zhou Budo to retreat, he stayed in the study alone, looked at the bookshelf with a cold face, and said, "Tell me to go down and find out who is the leader of the team sent to Shangzhou by the Jinsi this month."
The voice fell, there was no echo on the bookshelf, only a soft sound was heard, Zhou Dunyi pressed his hands on the desk, his eyes were full of hideousness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, it is your Jinsi, sure enough, the dull days have passed for too long, so that you have some thoughts that you shouldn't have, and there is actually a hidden archery master, hum, you can fight with Kumu and lose both, Zhijinsi, Zhijinsi, your plan is not small!" ”
