Chapter 70: Return to Yingdu

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the first month of next month, and it was close to the date of Fei Wuji and Kong Wan'er's marriage.

On the evening of this day, Zhan Wuxian said to Mo Wuya: "Senior Brother Fei's wedding is approaching, let's leave for Yingdu tomorrow, right?" Zhan Wuxian saw Mo Wuya sitting on the side and bowed his head silently, and continued: "It's also a good thing that Senior Brother Fei got this marriage, let him pass the past." After Senior Brother Fei gets married, his heart will also be put away and turned to Miss Kong. We are here to bless them, and to persuade him to go back to the mountain to meet Master after marriage, for the sake of many years of master and apprenticeship, I think Master will forgive him. Zhan Wuxian paused for a while and said: "I heard that the king of Chu got a flying stone from outside the sky, which is a good material for casting a sword, if I can cast it into a good sword, I can ......."

"I know your wishes, I promise to go to Yingdu with you, as for whether Fei Wuji returns to Wanjian Peak to see Master, I don't care." Mo Wuya said: "I'm relieved that we came to Guigu this time to find a good home for the little ape, but Chi'er, he can't always follow us to wander the rivers and lakes, right?" ”

"I thought about it, after attending Senior Brother Fei's wedding, we will go back to Wanjian Peak and concentrate on sword practice, and we will no longer get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes." There is no way to show it.

"This time I went to Yingdu, there is not much time, the road is inevitably tiring, it is not convenient to take Chi'er, it is better to temporarily entrust him to the uncle, we will pick him up after we come back from Yingdu, what do you think?" Mo Wuya said.

"That's fine."

So Mo Wuya took Zhan Chi to find Guiguzi, searched the entire valley, and never saw him. I happened to meet Zhong Wurong on the road, and I saw that she was mysterious, as if she was hiding from something.

Mo Wuya went up and asked, "Senior sister, what are you doing here?" ”

"Shh Zhong Wurong put his finger to his mouth, didn't want Mo Wuya to speak loudly, pulled her to a secret place next to him, and said softly: "I'm playing hide and seek with the little white ape." ”

Mo Wuya smiled helplessly. A few days ago, she heard Zhan Wuxian say that the little white ape had understood the wordless book of heaven and practiced a set of strange swordsmanship, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to see how much the little white ape's skills had improved.

At this time, Zhan Chi said: "Auntie, can I go and play with the little white ape?" ”

Zhong Wurong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course you can, but you have to listen to your aunt." ”

Zhanchi nodded excitedly. Zhong Wurong looked at Mo Wuya again, and Mo Wuya also smiled and nodded.

Zhong Wurong cut a handful of grass next to him, stuck it in Zhanchi's back and arms, and then grabbed a handful of plaster on the ground and wiped it on Zhanchi's face, looking like a little monkey. Zhong Wurong found another bamboo pole for Zhan Chi, and then whispered in Zhan Chi's ear, "Do you remember the swordsmanship that my aunt taught you?" You'll be ...... in a moment." Zhan Chi nodded happily, looking like he wanted to jump out immediately. Mo Wuya, who was on the side, only looked at it unclearly, so he didn't know what this old naughty boy and a naughty boy were planning.

After a while, I saw the little white ape running from a distance, looking for Zhong Wurong everywhere. Suddenly, there was a roar, and a little monkey covered in grass fell from the sky, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, and pierced the Tiantu point of the little white ape. Seeing this, the little white ape jumped backwards, and also picked up a bamboo pole from the ground and put it on his chest to block the bamboo pole from the little monkey's attack. Seeing that the blow missed, the little monkey withdrew his bamboo pole and leaned over to attack the little white ape's legs. The little white ape jumped up, pointed down at the bamboo pole in his hand, and went to point at the little monkey's bamboo pole. This time the little monkey no longer retreated, the bamboo pole in his hand was slightly oblique outward, and then lifted upward, the little white ape saw this, screamed in a low voice, seemed to cheer, grabbed the bamboo pole of the little monkey, and picked it up. The little monkey is not as strong as the little white ape, and its body rises up with the bamboo pole.

Seeing this, Mo Wuya got up and was about to pick up Zhan Chi, but was pulled by Zhong Wurong and said with a smile: "Senior sister, it's okay, the two children have a discussion, I think it's good, the little ape won't let Chi'er get hurt." ”

Sure enough, when the little ape saw the little monkey turn up, he handed the bamboo pole in his right hand to the little monkey's left hand, lifted him up, and gently sent him behind him.

In fact, after the little monkey suddenly jumped out, the little white ape had already recognized it as Zhanchi. He saw that Zhan Chi was interested and wanted to compete with himself, so he pretended not to know and tried to compete with him. However, the little white ape didn't use all his strength every time he shot, and he stopped everywhere, for fear of accidentally hurting Zhanchi.

Seeing that Zhan Chi was fine, Mo Wuya sighed and asked, "Senior Sister Zhong, have you seen Uncle Shi?" ”

Zhong Wurong said: "A few days ago, I saw him meditating with the little white ape on the lake under the wordless heavenly book, and I haven't seen him in the past few days, so I guess I went somewhere to play again." Do you have something to do with your uncle? ”

Mo Wuya said: "In a few days, I will go to Yingdu with Wuxian, it is not convenient to take Chi'er, I want to leave Chi'er in Guigu temporarily, and come back to pick him up after we finish our errands." ”

When Zhong Wurong heard this, he said happily: "You don't need to look for the master for this, just find me, I'm worried that no one will play with me." ”

Mo Wuya said: "That's fine, but I still want to tell Uncle Shi." ”

Zhong Wurong said: "No problem, I met Master in the past few days and I told him." ”

At this time, the little white ape and Zhan Chidou were getting up, not so much that they were competing with swords, but that they were playing with swords. Zhong Wurong said: "What kind of swordsmanship is this that Chi'er is fighting?" How come I've never seen one? ”

Mo Wuya smiled and said: "What kind of swordsmanship is this, I usually show him indiscriminately, and after many times, he learned it the same." ”

Zhong Wurong said: "How can anyone do this, mother, I'll teach him when I go back." ”

Mo Wuya said: "Okay, well, in the future, Chi'er's martial arts will be taught by my junior sister." ”

Zhong Wurong said: "This is about the same. ”

At this time, the laughter suddenly fluctuated, and it turned out that Zhan Chi and the little ape were no longer competing, and they were scratching each other's itches with straw.

Mo Wuya got up and said, "Okay, stop playing, let's go home." After speaking, he pulled Zhanchi with one hand and the little white ape with the other, and said to Zhong Wurong: "Senior Sister Zhong, go back with us." ”

Zhong Wurong said: "No, I still have something." Remember to tell me when you go. With that, he disappeared into the mountains.

On this day, at the beginning of the morning, the ghost valley is surrounded by different flowers, fragrant and fragrant. The little white ape has long been taken away by Guiguzi, but Zhanchi is still in his dream.

At this time, Sun Wuyu came, and saw off Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya, and several people were greeting, so they heard Zhong Wurong arrive: "You don't tell me if you want to leave, don't you recognize me as a junior sister?" "Looks angry.

Mo Wuya hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior Sister Zhong will always be our good junior sister. I went to your room early in the morning to say goodbye to you, but you had already gotten up and were not in the room, thinking that you had gone to practice with your master, so I came back and asked Senior Brother Sun to tell you on my behalf. ”

Zhong Wurong smiled suddenly: "I'm joking with you, I know that senior brothers and sisters won't forget me." It was Master who asked me to say goodbye to you, so that you can rest assured that Chi'er will be fine here. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "What else did Uncle Shi say?" ”

Zhong Wurong said: "I didn't say anything, just said that you were leaving, let me send you." However, I see that Master's face is not as good as before. ”

When they heard this, they were silent. Guiguzi Wang Xu was born open-minded and optimistic, loved to joke and play, and never frowned, today I heard Zhong Wurong say that Guiguzi's face was melancholy, I don't know what happened, everyone couldn't guess. Zhong Wurong saw that everyone didn't speak, so he asked, "Senior sister, is the outside world fun?" Why don't you take me there too? Mo Wuya didn't know how to answer, Sun Wuyu said: "Senior sister, don't mess around, without the permission of the master, the disciples in the Ghost Valley are not allowed to go out of the valley selfishly, don't you know?" When we should leave the valley, Master will naturally let us out, but now we have to be in a hurry. ”

Zhong Wurong pouted: "Hmph, if you don't go, you won't go, what's good." Then he ignored no one and turned and walked away.

Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya said goodbye to Sun Wuyu and came out of the valley, and just left Lixu, they suddenly heard Zhong Wurong shouting behind them: "Senior Brother Zhan, wait for me." Zhan Wuxian didn't know what happened to Zhong Wurong running out, so he teased her: "Senior Sister Zhong is so anxious, did she sneak out and want to go with us." Zhong Wurong glared and said, "Go, who rarely goes with you." I forgot just now, Master still has a sentence for me to tell you: Don't be stupid, don't be greedy, be cautious and gossip. ”

Zhan Wuxian pondered for a moment, and said in his heart: Uncle Shi knows that I am going here to be greedy for the flying stone that day, the first sentence must be to teach me not to be greedy for this, and the second sentence is to ask me to be careful of gossip in the officialdom of Chu State, I am not going to be an official, let alone have a conflict of interest with those scholars, what will it matter, will these uncles not know? Or is it something else? Zhan Wuxian was thinking about it, Zhong Wurong said: "The words have arrived, I'm leaving." Zhan Wuxian hurriedly said: "Does Uncle Shi have anything else to say?" Zhong Wurong said: "This time it's really gone, why can't you trust me?" Zhan Wuxian said: "No, junior sister, don't be angry, it's just that the meaning of the uncle's words is incomprehensible, I want to ask the uncle if there are any hints." Zhong Wurong said: "Master, just these two sentences." Okay, I'll go back, and Master will still guide me to practice. ”

Zhan Wuxian stood in place, thoughtful, and took Mo Wuya's hand for a long time before saying, "Let's go." ”

Ying, the capital of the state of Chu. King Xiong of Chu moved his capital here. At this time, the golden wuxi is oblique, and the red glow is like fire. Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya walked to the east gate of Yingdu, and two fast horses galloped from the afterglow of the slanting sun, and the horses swept up dust all the way.

The two horses rushed closer, from the top down the two, both dressed in official uniforms, seeing Zhan Wuxian, the two of them bowed their hands, one of them said: "Mr. Zhan has been tired all the way, the king has been looking forward to you for a long time, waiting for Mr. to pick up the wind and wash the dust, please follow us into the city quickly." Another person said: "The eldest brother has a good journey, and the younger brother misses the eldest brother." He also bowed to Mo Wuya and said, "Sister-in-law, my younger brother has worshiped here." Mo Wuya said: "Hurry up, please get up." Shirt, this is the sworn brother Wu Zixu you often mention, right? Who is this? She looked at the other person again, thinking that it was also Zhan Wuxian's good friend. Zhan Wuxian said: "Yes, this is Brother Wu Zixu." Then he pointed to another person: "This is General Fenyang, and he told me about Senior Brother Fei's marriage." Fen Yang hurriedly saluted and said: "I've seen Madame, the villain is just a royal guard next to the king, not a general." The king is still waiting, let's go into the city. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: Now Xiong Qiji is already the king of Chu, no more than in Caicheng, it is not suitable for people to see more, besides, Wuya has worked hard all the way, let her go to the post house to rest first, and I will go to see the king of Chu alone. So he said to Wu Zixu: "Wuya is a little tired all the way, why don't you take her to the post house to rest first, I can go to the king with General Fenyang, if there is nothing important, I will go back as soon as possible, and then our brother will drink him well and get drunk." ”

Wu Zixu said: "Where is the eldest brother, how can I let my sister-in-law go to the post house, our Wu Mansion is much better than the post house, just let the sister-in-law go to the Wu Mansion to rest, I just go back to set up the banquet and wait for the eldest brother to come back." ”

Mo Wuya said: "I want to enter the palace with you." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "It's not better than being in Caicheng now, I will go back as soon as possible." Then he said to Wu Zixu: "It's okay, then there is Brother Lao." ”

Yingdu City was one of the largest cities at that time, with tea shops and wine shops in the city, lined up one after another; The streets are wide and bustling with pedestrians. The two changed into chariots by the city gate, driven by Fenyang, and navigated the crowded streets, and the people were quite skilled at evading. The car drives along the street from east to west, goes to a crossroads, turns a corner, then gallops to the north, goes to the center of the city, the pedestrians on the street gradually become scarce, there is a huge palace not far in front of it, as far as the eye can see, the pavilions are connected, the height is staggered, it is not spectacular, this is the famous slender waist palace. Outside the palace gate, soldiers with armor, holding Changge, are neatly arranged on both sides.

The car traveled to the palace gate, the guards saw that it was Fenyang, and no one stopped it, the car passed through, came to the second palace gate, Fenyang and Zhan Wuxian got off the car, passed through the second palace gate, in front of them is a big hall, Danying carved tree, majestic and majestic. There is a person standing in front of the palace, that is, Xiong Qiji, who has ascended the throne as the king at this time, and is the king of Chuping. When King Chu Ping saw Zhan Wuxian, he greeted him, grabbed Zhan Wuxian's hand and said, "Mr. Zhan, the widow is looking forward to you." Come on, come on, come in and take a seat. Come on, serve the wine, this is wine from the Qin State, it is very strong. Zhan Wuxian sat down with the king of Chu and said, "Thank you, king." King Chu Ping said: "What are you polite to me, if there is no Mr. Zhan, how can I sit in this position." On that day, you defeated Gongzi and defeated the enemy, removing the biggest obstacle for the widow to enter Yingdu, and the widow remembered it in his heart. When the widow rewards the meritorious person, only the gentleman is not there, and the widow is very reluctant not to go, if you are here, I will definitely make you a general. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "The king is too worried, Wuxian is just a ranger, he is used to being casual by nature, and he can't be an official." King Chuping smiled and said: "Haha......, few people know that no matter how big an official you are, even if you are a feudal monarch, Mr. may not be rare." Therefore, the widow searched all over the world, and found a flying stone for Mr. "Zhan Wuxian is a sword idiot, this time he came to Yingdu, in addition to attending Fei Wuji's wedding, he came for this piece of flying stone outside the sky, he can't wait to see the true face of Lushan Mountain of that flying stone outside the sky. So he stood up and said, "So, thank you, the king, I don't know where that flying stone is now?" King Chu Ping said: "I have asked someone to see, this stone is a spiritual object outside the sky, Yingdu is too popular, the widow has ordered someone to place it in the Yunmengze Sword Casting Valley, and the widow also invited the sword casting master of the Yue Kingdom, Mo Xie to cast a sword for the widow, and the widow will give it to Mr. Zhan Wuxian said: It turns out that the King of Chu invited the two sword-casting masters, the cadre and Mo Xie, and the two of them are the real sword idiots, and if they cast the sword, it will definitely be an unusually good sword. Zhan Wuxian hurriedly said: "When can I go to Yunmengze to see the two sword-casting masters of the Flying Stone and the Cadre and Mo Ye?" The King of Chu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the widow has ordered the generals, Mo Xie and other gentlemen to start casting swords when they arrive." After the wedding of Young Master Fei, how about the widow let him take Mr. in person? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Then Zhan Wuxian said suspiciously: "Young Master Fei? The King of Chu smiled again: "Young Master Fei is Fei Wuji, the widow appointed him to be the young master of the prince, the widow can successfully become the king, Wu Hao's credit is not small, the widow ordered Wu Hao to be the prince, originally this position was left to you." Zhan Wuxian smiled. King Chuping said to Fenyang again: "Go and invite Fei Shaofu, the widow wants to have a few drinks with Mr. Zhan and Fei Shaofu." ”

After receiving the order, Fen Yang went to ask for Fei Wuji. Zhan Wuxian heard that the king of Chu wanted to keep himself in the palace to drink, he wanted to have a few drinks with Fei Wuji, talk about some martial arts and swordsmanship, and say some strange things about the rivers and lakes, but now Xiong Qijian is not as good as before, he is now the king of Chu, and when he talks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes in front of him, he will inevitably say some ugly words about the eunuchs, which is inevitably a little inconvenient. So Zhan Wuxian said: "The king has a lot of opportunities, my brothers are drinking in the palace, I'm afraid it will be ......a little inconvenient" King Chuping interjected: "Mr. is too worried, I think that when I was the Duke of Cai, there were not many people around me, and I can have today, it is all the credit of Mr. Zhan and Fei Shaofu, you two are in the palace casually, where you want to go, what you want to say." I won't tell you the truth, since the widow was the king, many friends around the widow seemed to be separated from the widow by a veil, and they all stayed away from the widow, did not talk to the widow, and hid everything from the widow. The words that the widow hears are pleasant and good, and sometimes the widow feels so lonely. The widow really misses the days when he was Cai Gong in Caicheng, and he really thinks that the son gave up his illness. Zhan Wuxian said: "As long as the king still remembers the original oath, there will be scholars who will be loyal to the king." King Chuping sighed: "I hope so." ”

At this time, Fei Wuji came, and Zhan Wuxian stood up and greeted: "Senior brother, congratulations to you on the good things that are coming, Wuxian heard that you are going to get married, so I came from the Ghost Valley." Fei Wuji said: "Thank you, junior brother, is Senior Sister Mo here?" Zhan Wuxian said: "Li'er has already come, due to the fatigue on the road, she will go back to Wufu with Wu Zixu to rest first, and I will go to you early tomorrow morning to say hello to you." Fei Wuji looked a little lost and said, "I should go to visit my junior sister first." Zhan Wuxian said: "Okay, let's go now, I think Li'er also wants to see you and your sister-in-law." ”

At this time, the palace maid had already prepared the wine and food. King Chu Ping said: "Two, how about we talk while drinking?" Fei Wuji nodded and was about to pick up the wine, and said: "Tomorrow is Senior Brother Fei's big day, and then my two brothers will drink with the king again." It's not early today, so I'll accompany Senior Brother Fei back to prepare for tomorrow's wedding, and I'll come back to see the king next day. Hearing that Zhan Wuxian didn't give himself face at all, King Chuping froze in place for a while, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's a long time coming, and the widow is tired, Young Master Fei, you can go back with Mr. Zhan first." After saying that, he returned to the dormitory alone, and he secretly hated: "Zhan Wuxian, relying on your merits, don't give the lonely king face at all." ”

Zhan Wuxian and Fei Wuji walked out of the Slender Waist Palace, and the two went straight to Wufu together, one of them missed his wife, and the other wanted to see his sister.

When he came to Wu Mansion, Wu Zixu took Zhan Wuxian and Fei Wuji to Mo Wuya's residence, at this time, Mo Wuya stood at the door and waited for Zhan Wuji to come back, and when he saw Fei Wuji, he was shocked in his heart at first and did not speak. Zhan Wuxian said: "Ya'er, you see I brought Senior Brother Fei here, we haven't had a long talk together for a long time, let's have a drink together today." ”

Fei Wuji kept staring at Mo Wuya, looking for the shadow of the little junior sister in her. He looked at Mo Wuya, except for the difference in clothes and headdresses, there was no change from the little junior sister back then, and she was still the little junior sister he was familiar with. Fei Wuji's heart was surging for a while, and he blurted out: "Little junior sister ......" but he didn't know what to say in the future, he knew that the current little junior sister was Zhan Wuxian's wife.

Mo Wuya glanced at Fei Wuji and said, "Senior brother has always been good, congratulations on your upcoming marriage." ”

Fei Wuji said: "Oh oh...... Good...... Thank you, little sister. ”

Zhan Wuxian actually knew that Fei Wuji had always had love for Mo Wuya, but now Mo Wuya is his wife, and Mo Wuya said to himself that he only loves himself, and he has no feelings for Fei Wuji. Zhan Wuxian is convinced of his wife, although he is sometimes a little jealous, but he has always wanted to maintain their brotherhood, suppressed the little jealousy in his heart, and his love for Fei Wuji and Mo Wuya has not been broken.

At this time, Wu Zixu said: "Big brother, I prepared a table of wine and food, invited a few friends from the rivers and lakes, and it just so happened that Young Master Fei was also here, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the eldest brother." ”

Zhan Wuxian said happily: "Okay, senior brother, let's go together, have a good drink today, and don't get drunk and don't return." ”

Fei Wuji said: "You know that I am not good at drinking, besides, I will go back first ...... tomorrow." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Yes, yes, tomorrow is a good day for Senior Brother, you should go back early and rest early." ”

After Fei Wuji said goodbye to everyone, he did not go back to his mansion, but went straight to the Slender Waist Palace. King Chuping sat alone in his study, and after listening to Fei Wuji's narration, Zhan Wuxian ate and drank with Wu Hao and many people in the Wu Mansion. King Xiong of Chuping said silently: "Got it." ”

Fei Wuji said again: "The prince is also among them. ”

King Chuping closed his eyes and looked a little tired: "Got it." It is not a bad thing for the prince to have more contact with people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Fei Wuji said: "Most of the people on the rivers and lakes are arrogant and disobedient, and the prince is afraid of ...... if he stays with them for a long time." Fei Wuji didn't say anything further, Xiong Qiji also knew what Fei Wuji meant, but he didn't believe that the prince would have any misdeeds.

King Chu Ping said: "Okay, the widow is tired." Tomorrow your wedding widow will not go, let the widow of Nangvadai go. Fei Wuji agreed and withdrew.
