Chapter 111: Escape
It was not surprising that He Wenchang came to find Chai Yang for himself, but what does it mean to treat so many people? After thinking for a while, he didn't know what the other party meant, but Chai Yang still respectfully saluted He Wenchang: "Teacher." ”
He Wenchang smiled and subdued Chai Yang, looked at the surrounding environment and said, "No need to be polite, to be honest, your environment here is not as good as in the city." ”
"It's better to be quiet." Chai Yang said.
He Wenchang naturally knew what Chai Yang meant. With the Xue family here, Chai Yang can't spend a day in Nanyang City. Hiding outside the city will be quiet, as for the convenience or inconvenience, it is still to watch people.
invited He Wenchang into the house, and the housekeeper who followed stopped everyone and did not enter the courtyard, but waited quietly outside.
"Teacher, is there something going on today?" Chai Yang poured He Wenchang full of tea and asked.
But He Wenchang didn't answer Chai Yang's question, but looked at the environment in the room and asked, "What about Ling'er?" ”
"I've gone to Baoling Temple." Chai Yang replied.
"I think it's because you're going to go on a scientific expedition to ask for a talisman." He Wenchang said with a smile. But I was a little relieved in my heart, and it was good that people were not there. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do.
"The teacher knows, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas." Chai Yang explained.
He Wenchang doesn't care, most of the readers don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but there are so many temples and Taoist temples in the world, sometimes it's just to ask for comfort in the heart.
"It's not easy to study, and I'm naturally not worried about your talent, but this big exam is different from usual after all, you have to be mentally prepared." He Wenchang has to talk about this matter every time he comes to him, and he always has something to say. The meaning in it is naturally clear Chai Yang, it is nothing more than the third master of the Xue family, but is he delaying because of this matter? You must know that Xue Huaiyi is only in his forties, upright and in the prime of life.
"Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I still want to give it a try." Chai Yang interrupted He Wenchang's words.
"Well, with your intelligence, you naturally know what I mean, so I won't say anything more. But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Ling'er is not here today, I am here to tell you, let her go out to hide for a while, let her take this thing with her. With that, he took out two letters from his sleeve.
"Here is a road guide, and there is a letter I gave to an old friend, asking her to take it to Jiangxian County." He Wenchang's words made Chai Yang stunned, looking at the things in front of him and not knowing how to reply, how to let Chai Linger go to Jiangxian County.
Looking at his teacher, he saw He Wenchang pointing in the direction of Daoyang City, and his face turned pale suddenly.
"How dare they?"
"This is their Yuzhou, naturally they dare anything." He Wenchang glanced at Chai Yang, whose face had changed drastically, and said lightly.
Drinking all the tea in front of him, He Wenchang looked at Chai Yang in front of him and said: "You and I are considered masters and apprentices, although it was the Xue family who asked me to do this for the sake of face problems at that time, but the old man still really wants to accept you as a disciple, but at this time, it is time to let go, you and I have the fate of master and apprentice, and you and I will have our own destiny in the future." ”
After speaking, he got up and left, and Chai Yang also came back to his senses at this time, looking at He Wenchang's back and kneeling on the ground and kowtowing a few times. His master only has a name, no real affection, and there has been almost no communication over the years, because both of them know that the existence of the other party is just for the face of the Xue family, He Wenchang risked being discovered by the Xue family to help himself, and this kindness is worthy of his great gift.
He Wenchang stopped but did not look back, but stood in place and paused, and then walked out of the house. Through the crack in the door, the housekeeper saw Chai Yang kneeling and kowtowing inside, and sighed slightly.
After leaving Chaiyang's small courtyard for some distance, He Wenchang lifted the curtain on the car window and beckoned to the housekeeper. Hurriedly approaching, the butler asked, "Master, what are your orders?" ”
"Who are you finding?"
"I followed before, but after the master entered the house, he disappeared, so he should have gone back to deliver the news." The butler said.
"The teacher is smart, but these three sons are worse after all." He Wenchang smiled. Then he glanced at the housekeeper and ordered: "Find a reliable person to protect you along the way." ”
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded.
After He Wenchang left, Chai Yang sat in the house in a daze, and did not come back to his senses until Chai Linger came back. Hurriedly put away the two letters in front of him, looked at Chai Ling'er and asked with a smile, "Are you back?" ”
"What are you hiding?" glanced at Chai Yang with some doubts.
"It's nothing, it's just that the teacher just came. By the way, how's the catch? Chai Yang smiled.
Although she was puzzled, Chai Ling'er still said happily: "There are a lot of people, but brother, your name is relatively famous, Master Zhikong heard that it was for you, and personally sent one, saying that it was to thank you for the painting you wrote to him last year." ”
Chai Yang nodded with a smile, and then said: "It's not in vain for you to make this trip, but it's time to cook, I've been hungry for a long time." ”
"Then you wait a while, I'll do it." Chai Linger said with a smile.
Looking at the busy back of leaving, Chai Yang took out the two letters and looked at them, gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he had to let Ling'er leave as soon as possible, the longer this matter dragged on, the more unsafe it became.
At the dinner table, looking at his sister who was in a good mood, Chai Yang hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "You can go out in a few days." Putting down the dishes and chopsticks and looking at Chai Ling'er with a puzzled face, Chai Yang said, "I can take care of myself." ”
Hearing Chai Yang say this, Chai Ling'er frowned, put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Chai Yang and asked, "Is something wrong?" Why do you say that all of a sudden? ”
Taking out the two letters and putting them in front of Chai Ling'er, Chai Yang said: "This is what the teacher gave me today, he didn't say it clearly, but the Xue family seems to have something to do, he said that you should go to Jiangxian County to find an old friend of his to hide for a while." ”
Chai Ling'er's face turned pale, her body seemed to shake a little, she looked at Chai Yang and asked, "Is it the third room of the Xue family?" ”
Chai Yang nodded and persuaded: "The teacher took such a big risk to tell me that he must have received some rumors from the Xue family, you know the methods of the Xue family, the sooner you go, the better." ”
"But what do you do? If the Xue family can't find me, it will definitely be bad for you. Chai Ling'er asked.
"The Xue family won't do anything to me, at least not before the big exam. My goal is too big, and the Xue family still cares about face, but you are different. And after you leave, I can face the Xue family more assured. Chai Yang shook his head and said.
"Is it really this far?" Chai Ling'er said bitterly.
"Xue Huaiyi is well-known for being ruthless in the Xue family, it is not easy for him to endure us for so long, this year's big exam is an excellent opportunity for him to start, because he calculated that I will end, even if I don't participate, he will find a way to make my name appear on the roster, so I can't hide, you and I must have one to live." Chai Yang smiled bitterly.
Looking up at his sister, Chai Yang said: "The matter is not delayed, you can prepare for it in the next few days, wear men's clothes before leaving, remember not to trust anyone on the road." ”
Chai Ling'er nodded to show that she understood. The taste of this meal is the same as chewing wax, both of them have something on their minds, and the whole atmosphere is a little depressing. From Chai Yang's point of view, this parting may be a separation between heaven and man. I only hope that my only sister can arrive in Jiangxian County safely.
Xue Mansion, Xue Huaiyi frowned slightly when he listened to the report of his subordinates, interrupted the other party's words and asked, "He Wenchang didn't do anything?" ”
"Master, Chai Ling'er is not here, thinking that He Wenchang should not do it today considering his face." The servant said.
"Hmph, the older you get, the more timid you become, and you really treat Chai Yang as your precious apprentice?" Xue Huaiyi sneered, then looked at his subordinates and said, "I'm keeping an eye on it, tell He Wenchang." Give him another five days, and if he can't do it himself, I'll do it myself. ”
"Yes, sir." Nodding in response, the subordinate slowly retreated.
After receiving the news from the Xue Mansion, He Wenchang smiled and ignored it, and the housekeeper on the side was a little puzzled, thought for a while and asked, "Master, how did the third master Xue reply over there?" ”
"Hang." He Wenchang smiled and said.
"But—" the butler hesitated, "isn't there something wrong with that?" ”
"Master, if I had worked so hard to do what he did now, I wasn't stupid before? Let him do it himself, he wants me to bear this notoriety, but before he just looked at the teacher's face, he repeatedly instructed me, who did he think he was? He Wenchang said lightly.
The robbery was instigated by Xue Huaiyi, He Wenchang didn't know what Xue Huaiyi was for what purpose he found him, and when he learned Xue Huaiyi's motives, He Wenchang was forced by Xue Yong's face, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
But some time ago, Xue Yong suddenly released the news, He Wenchang knew that Xue Yong knew what the three members of the Xue family did, but they all turned a blind eye. As soon as something happens that harms you, come back and stand up. Xue Huaiyi's kind of thing to smear the reputation of the Xue family was okay a few years ago, but now he will definitely be blamed for doing it, why should he block the gun for him.
"Don't forget what I told you, go down, I'm going to rest." Saying that, He Wenchang waved his hand.
For a few days, He Wenchang just sent people to Chai Yang to go around, and sometimes he didn't even go and replied that the people were not there. Xue Huaiyi endured it for a few days, and finally became a little impatient.
Looking at the subordinates who walked in, Xue Huaiyi frowned, saw that the other party's expression was wrong, and asked, "Is it still the same on the He family's side?" ”
Seeing his subordinates nodding, Xue Huaiyi was furious, and swept the teacup on the table to the ground: "What does he He Wenchang mean?" If you don't want to do it, say it early. ”
Seeing that Xue Huaiyi was furious, the subordinate shrank his neck, but remembered the news he had just inquired about, and felt that it was better to tell the master as soon as possible.
Taking a deep breath, the subordinate said cautiously: "Master, in order to be safe, I sent someone to Chai Yang, and the He family really didn't lie." ”
"What's going on?" Xue Huaiyi frowned.
"Chai Ling'er has disappeared since she came back from Baoling Temple a few days ago." The subordinate told Xue Huaiyi the news he had found.
"What do you say? Say it again. Xue Huaiyi said coldly.
Facing Xue Huaiyi's cold eyes, the subordinate could only stubbornly say: "The person is missing, and he hasn't appeared for some time." ”
