Wang Meng was laughing, the kind of laughter after the plan was successful.

He smiled at himself in the bronze mirror, and the person in the mirror was also smiling at him, and the two faces were exactly the same. The reason why he laughed was very simple, just because Zhao Zheng got out. Under his careful calculation, he got his wish and stinked Zhao Zheng's reputation and forced Zhao Zheng out of the Taishan faction. From now on, there is no need to worry that Yu Ling'er will be unclear with Zhao Zheng.

There are eight sufferings in the world, and one of them cannot ask for suffering, cannot get what he wants, and cannot achieve his goal, so he will naturally be very miserable. But on the other hand, it is a source of happiness.

Wang Meng achieved his goal, so he is happy now.

On the day the verdict was pronounced in public, many invited people gathered in the hall, including him. He watched everyone accuse Zhao Zheng together, and watched Zhao Zheng walk down the stone steps of the Jade Emperor like a defeated rooster, carrying a luggage roll. The feeling of happiness in his heart at that time could not be described in pen and ink.

The notoriety of the silver thief will accompany Zhao Zheng's life and will never get rid of it, and it is likely that he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, so he can only retire to the mountains and forests as soon as possible and never show his head again! If those warriors who want to save face encounter this kind of thing, they may even find a short-term view under the anger of their hearts. It's a pity that Zhao Zheng doesn't seem to be such a person, and he won't be forced to death.

Zhao Zheng is out of the way, it's time for Wang Meng to make a move, he has to be more diligent than before, and strive to impress Yu Ling'er's heart as soon as possible.

Wang Meng smiled and turned around in front of the bronze mirror and looked at his new clothes. He was thinking about Zhao Zheng in his heart, and he inevitably compared himself with Zhao Zheng. He had to admit that he was far less handsome than Zhao Zhengfeng, but he had a little more mature temperament, which Zhao Zheng, a hairy boy, did not have. In addition to his appearance, when it comes to his life experience, status, cultivation and other aspects, he is more than one step stronger than Zhao Zheng. He didn't think he would lose to Zhao Zheng, as long as he persevered, it was only a matter of time before he won Yu Ling'er's heart

Dressed neatly, he sprinkled some spices on his body again, hung a crystal clear jade jade pendant around his waist, and then pushed the door out of the house and rushed to Leng Xiangju.

Leng Xiangju is still the same as before, there is no change. The courtyard is filled with the smell of medicine, and there are many shelves and dustpans on the walls, on which various herbs are dried. Through the window, you can vaguely see Yu Ling'er's busy shadows, especially the curvature behind her buttocks is the most moving. Wang Meng doesn't know how many times at night, he once fantasized about being warm with such a delicate body, but unfortunately he still hasn't been able to do so, at most he just accidentally touched Yu Ling'er's smooth jade hand.

Wang Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a gaze that contained conquest, and deeply imprinted Yu Ling'er's shadow in his eyes. He secretly swore in his heart: "Yu Ling'er, sooner or later, one day I will marry you, press you on my bed, and let you moan for me!" ”

It's a pity that Yu Ling'er can't hear Wang Meng's heart, otherwise she would have to break off relations with Wang Meng.

The strange look on Wang Meng's face flashed, and he returned to normal. He stepped into the house and greeted Yu Ling'er. Since Yu Ling'er was immersed in alchemy, she didn't have time to entertain him, so she asked him to wait in the living room. He didn't dare to pick on Yu Ling'er's reason, so he sat obediently in the living room, quietly waiting for Yu Ling'er to finish alchemy. If it were another woman, he would never be so patient, but in the face of Yu Ling'er, he always has endless patience. It's like one thing dropping one thing, and the brine points to tofu.

After half an hour, Yu Ling'er washed her hands and walked out of the alchemy room. Her face was indifferent, her expression was neither sad nor joyful, nor was she afraid of anger.

Ever since Wang Meng met Yu Ling'er, he had never seen Yu Ling'er smile, as if there was nothing in this world that could make Yu Ling'er happy.

The two greeted each other again, and Yu Ling'er sat down on another chair, holding a teacup in her hand and blowing on the hot air. When the two wanted to get together, Yu Ling'er always rarely spoke, and mostly just listened silently there.

Before Wang Meng came, he had already thought of a few topics, and when Yu Ling'er was drinking tea, he talked about it to himself. Since Yu Ling'er rarely pays attention to him, he looks like a storyteller, which is more or less ridiculous.

After Wang Meng said about a hundred or so sentences, Yu Ling'er had a rare reaction and interjected: "Brother Wang, why do you suddenly have idle time these days, and you run to my cold fragrance house at every turn." ”

This sentence made Wang Meng speechless, he hesitated a few times, and said with an embarrassed smile: "There are very few things in the abacus hall these days, so I am more idle." ”

"Since you have to be idle, you should practice hard, always run to me, don't waste your martial arts."

"Ling'er, you're worried too much, I'll arrange my time every day and make more time to practice."

"If you want to practice more, run to me less, which will not only delay your practice, but also delay my alchemy. As you know, the Taishan Sect has a great demand for pills, and we have a lot of work to do in the Rejuvenation Hall. Every time you come over, I have to make time to entertain you, which inevitably affects my business. Yu Ling'er reminded lightly.

Wang Meng's expression was difficult to look at, but he still pretended to smile and said: "It's my carelessness as a brother, I don't care about your alchemy career, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

"You rarely came here a while ago, I really don't understand why you have suddenly become so attentive recently, and you always run to me twice in three days." Yu Ling'er shook her head and said.

"Ling'er, is it ...... Don't you like me coming to your cold incense house? Wang Meng asked tentatively.

"Why should I like you to come?" Yu Ling'er asked rhetorically.

"I feel like we're on pretty good terms." Wang Meng continued to probe tentatively.

"Yes, I've known you since I went up the mountain to learn art. I'm a withdrawn man who rarely interacts with people, and you're one of the few friends I have. But this doesn't mean that I want you to come to my Leng Xiangju every day, it's because of you and I will talk to you about good words, if it was someone else, I would have already issued an eviction order. Yu Ling'er said calmly......

When Wang Meng heard the title of friend, he was really happy and sad, happy that he was closer to Yu Ling'er than most people, and sad that after many years, he and Yu Ling'er always stayed in the tepid stage of friends, and they never made any progress. He smiled bitterly and asked, "I can't come every day, why can Zhao Zheng, the silver thief, come every day?" Could it be that I'm not as good as him? ”

Yu Ling'er's face changed slightly when she heard this, revealing a little displeasure, she looked at Wang Meng who was sitting beside her, and said lightly: "I didn't know who he was before, so I allowed him to learn alchemy techniques here, and after that incident happened, I never let him step into Leng Xiangju for half a step, and I drew a line with him." ”

"Well, since he can learn alchemy skills here, then I also want to learn alchemy skills here, I will come to you every day to learn in the future, and I hope you will give me advice."

"Brother Wang, don't talk nonsense, you and I both know that you have no interest in things like alchemy and boiling medicine, so don't use this matter to make me happy."

"People change, I wasn't interested in alchemy before, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested now. I'm happy to be by your side every day and learn alchemy techniques from you. In this way, I can also protect you by my side, so that no more sanctimonious people like Zhao Zheng will approach you. ”

"The reason why I allowed Zhao Zheng to study here is because there are some special reasons. This reason is very wide-ranging, and it is inconvenient to publicize it everywhere, so I did not mention it to others everywhere. If there are no special circumstances, I will not allow others to study with me casually, first, I like to be quiet, second, I am not willing to easily pass on what I have learned in life to others, and third, my cold incense house has never welcomed men. Yu Ling'er said with a tense face.

Wang Meng didn't know about Zhao Zhengsan's prescription, and decided that there was a cat in it, and his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle. He was worried that he would anger Yu Ling'er, so he didn't dare to dwell on this topic more, and after a moment of silence, he said with a haha: "Since Ling'er doesn't look down on me as an elder brother, I won't embarrass you, and I will never mention you studying alchemy here in the future." ”

After receiving this reassurance, Yu Ling'er's face softened slightly, picked up the teacup on the table, and stopped talking.

Wang Meng talked to himself for a while, and when he saw Yu Ling'er showing impatience, he took the initiative to stand up understandingly, said goodbye to Yu Ling'er, and reluctantly left Leng Xiangju.

Yu Ling'er sent away the sticky Wang Meng, sighed lightly, shook her head, and turned around to return to the alchemy room to continue refining the pill. But she had barely walked a few steps when there was another knock on the courtyard door. She frowned slightly, and asked the identity of the knocker through the door.

"Ling'er, I'm here to visit you for my teacher, if it's convenient, open the door." Outside the door, there was a voice from Le I don't know how old I am.

The person Yu Ling'er respected most in her life was her teacher, so she quickly changed her color, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door. She greeted Le Zhiyi, who was standing outside the door with a smile, and Ying Ying gave a salute. After the ceremony, she respectfully invited Le Bu into the living room.

After sitting down, Le Bu said: "Ling'er, I know you're busy here and don't have much time, so I'll make a long story short." I'm here to ask you about one thing, since Zhao Zheng was driven down the mountain, have you noticed that anyone on the mountain is behaving strangely and has become different from usual?"

"What is the strangeness that Master is referring to?" Yu Ling'er was puzzled.

"Like being very happy or something."

"Having fun?" Yu Ling'er noticed that something was wrong, and instead of answering, she asked, "Master, why did you suddenly ask such a strange question?" ”

"To tell you the truth, I think there are still doubts about the theft of women's clothes, so I am secretly investigating. Now Zhao Zheng was treated as a thief and was driven down the mountain. If there was someone else, this person would have seemed very happy lately. I want to find out these people, check them well, and it is best to find out the real culprit and give Zhao Zheng a clean slate. Le Bu replied calmly. There is no need to hide anything between him and his beloved apprentice who has been with him for many years.

"There are so many things in the world that can make people happy, and judging others to be suspicious based on this alone is a bit too arbitrary, and with all due respect, I don't approve of this practice."

"As a teacher, I don't know that these alone don't mean anything at all, and the reason why I investigate these is just to find out some suspicious people."

"Master, you trust Zhao Zheng so much, and you are determined that he is not the thief? When he came to the Taishan faction, it was still very short, and it was only two months when he was full, and it was impossible to see whether a person was good or bad just by relying on these times. Yu Ling'er said.

"I don't fully trust him, and the reason why I help him so much is mainly because of his contribution to the Tarzan faction and his own potential. The Rouxiang Pill and Tongqi Pill prescriptions he contributed will definitely be of great help to the Taishan Sect in the future, and I suspect that he has other precious prescriptions on him, and if we drive him away, we will miss out on these prescriptions. Even if there is still a glimmer of opportunity, I can't give up the investigation, if I can really find the real culprit, return him to a clean house, and pull him back to the Taishan faction, it will be of great help to our Taishan faction in the future. "I don't know how to tell the truth. As the saying goes, no profit can not be early, he trusts Zhao Zheng so much and helps Zhao Zheng, in fact, he is driven by interests. If this kind of thing happened to an ordinary disciple, he would not have been so enthusiastic and spent so much effort.

Yu Ling'er didn't care about anything else, but as soon as she heard the word prescription, her ears immediately pricked up, and her eyes flashed brightly. She nodded, "I see, if so, I really can't act hastily, I should investigate it carefully." Although I have only been in contact with Zhao Zheng for a short time and do not know him well, I have a good impression of him, and I don't think he is really like a person who can steal those things. ”

"If you also want to help Zhao Zheng clear up his grievances, think about it, after Zhao Zheng went down the mountain, did anyone behave strangely." I don't know what to say.

"Strange performance...... Acting strangely...... Yu Ling'er lowered her head and thought deeply, muttered in her mouth, and suddenly a figure of a person popped up in her mind, and she lost her voice, "Wang Meng!" ”

"Wang Meng? Has he been acting strangely lately? Le Bu frowned.

He ...... No, no, he's the same as before. Yu Ling'er wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you find something, just say it, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person who behaves strange is the real murderer, I'm just asking." Le didn't know how to ask.

"Yes, in vain." Seeing that the words had been spoken, Yu Ling'er was covered with water and couldn't be recovered, so she had to answer honestly, "Wang Meng is indeed a little strange recently, since Zhao Zheng left, the number of times he came to Leng Xiangju has increased a lot, almost every day. And he seemed very happy, saying a lot of nonsense to me every day, and often insulting Zhao Zheng and saying bad things about Zhao Zheng. ”

"Speaking of which, this Wang Meng is suspicious, but this child I grew up watching, and the relationship with you is so good, I really can't connect him with the real murderer." Le didn't know how to say with a calm face.

"I also don't think he's a real murderer, although he's a little annoying, but his surname is not bad, and he won't do that kind of thing that damages yin and morality."

"No, of course he is the best, and I don't want to see familiar people do this kind of thing, not to mention that he is also a hall master of this sect and the mainstay of this sect." Le Bu paused, and then asked, "Besides Wang Meng, are there any other people who have behaved strangely recently?" ”

Yu Ling'er thought about it again, shook her head and said, "No." ”

"If not, then the teacher will leave, and if you find anything in the future, you will notify me again." Le didn't know how to get up and said.

"I'll give you a ride." Yu Ling'er also quickly stood up.

Leaving Leng Xiangju, Le Bu didn't know that he was twisting his white beard while walking, and thinking about Wang Meng's personality, guessing whether the real murderer would be Wang Meng, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't believe that Wang Meng could do such a thing. This level of trust is even far more than his trust in Zhao Zheng, as if he trusts his relatives.

However, no matter how much he trusted Wang Meng, he had to put Wang Meng on the list of suspicious people and secretly investigate. There are not many people on this list, there are only a dozen people together, and the rest of the people have behaved normally during this time and have not done anything strange.

After a few days, Le Bu took advantage of the free evening to go down the mountain with this list and the results of the investigation, planning to meet with Zhao Zheng.

After Zhao Zheng left the Taishan faction, he did not go far, but found a small village at the foot of the Jade Emperor Peak, and temporarily lived in a private house.

Le didn't know that Zhao Zheng lived here, so he came to the door directly, and as soon as the two sides met, they didn't say anything gossip, and talked about business directly.

"Ever since you came down the mountain, I've been secretly looking for people who might have framed you for blame, and I've written them all down on paper, so look at them." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

Zhao Zheng took the paper and looked at it, there were more than a dozen names written on it, all of them were familiar to him, and most of them were not good birds. Jian Nu and the others were also on the side, and they were also very concerned about this matter, and they all came up one by one involuntarily to look at this list together.

Le Bu raised his hand and pointed to the names on the paper, and introduced them one by one, explaining why he was suspicious of these people and what was suspicious about these people. As he spoke, he quickly mentioned Wang Meng and explained the ins and outs.

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if a person in the water with his hands and feet had grabbed a life-saving straw at once. He said categorically: "Slow, Manager Le, this Wang Meng is very suspicious!" (To be continued.) )
