Chapter 98: The Mask Falls Off
"Okay, then you talk first, I'll serve the pastries."
When Wei Chixing saw his brother leaving, he closed the door of the study:
"You've finished sending the dart, shouldn't you leave Chang'an? Why did you go to college with my brother? ”
"Oh, it's a long story, anyway, I won't be able to leave for a while."
"Does Yuan Lie know?"
He knew that he was the one who harmed him. I'm not here today to ask you for advice or anything, but to ask you, can you find someone to help me copy the scriptures? ”
"Scriptures?"
"You tell me what happened, so I can know how to help you."
Meng Yu told Wei Chixing how she stayed in the Li Mansion, and did not say anything about saltpeter.
"That Brother Yuan, why are you so confused? He knew that Li Fu had been careful to tie him up. And left you with her. And you, if you have no money, you can ask me to borrow it, why did you run to work for Li Fu? ”
Meng Yu stuck out his tongue:
"I don't like asking people to borrow money."
"Okay then, when Li Fu asks you to copy the scriptures, you can give them to me, I can write quickly, and I will be able to help you copy them in a while."
"Brother Wei Chi, you are so righteous."
"I was righteous to Brother Yuan, and he came over to ask me to take care of you more before leaving. I thought that you would leave immediately, and I wouldn't be able to take care of it for long, so I agreed without asking carefully. I didn't think you would have to stay for three more months. ”
Meng Yu came over and patted him on the shoulder:
"I won't let you copy it in vain, I still have more than a hundred taels of silver tickets, and I will give them all to you."
"Forget it, I don't dare to ask for the silver ticket you earned with your life."
Meng Yu was reminded of He Dao's incident when he said this:
"By the way, Brother Wei Chi, don't you have to go back to Bashu now?"
"I won't go back for the time being, I've been transferred back to Chang'an."
"Oh, what kind of official position did you get?"
"Where is Chang'an, what official can I be? For the time being, I am doing editing at the Hanlin Academy. ”
"That's right, no wonder Li Fu praised you for being a good hand in Hanlin. Can I ask you a favor? ”
Wei Chixing looked at her thief-eyed, and was a little afraid of her:
"Anything else? Let's talk about it first. ”
"If you are an official, you must stay in the palace and work. Can you help me keep an eye out for any news about Half-Face? I think it will. ”
"Nope."
Wei Chixing stood up suddenly:
"Half-faced Hero is a profound, you can't be his opponent. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. ”
"How do you know he's better than me if you haven't tried it? Brother Wei Chi, you are a civil official, so you will feel extremely profound when you look at people who know how to do some kung fu. If you don't believe me, I can show you a whipping method right now. My Seven Spirit Whip, what kind of life-hooking sword is to be captured. ”
Seeing that Wei Chixing still didn't believe it, Meng Yu looked at the sky outside, yes, it was already dark, and he could show him a hand.
"Let's go!"
Meng Yu unceremoniously lifted Wei Chixing's collar and rushed out of the door.
At the corridor, Wei Chiyan was carrying a small plate and preparing to come over, he only saw two figures, one black and one white, brushing the corridor, rubbing his eyes again, and there was nothing.
Meng Yu took Wei Chixing to the bamboo forest in a remote courtyard of his house and pressed him to a stone bench on the side.
"Is this bamboo still useful?"
Meng Yu pointed to the purple bamboo that was shivering in the autumn wind on the side.
"It's not too useful."
Wei Chixing didn't know what she wanted to do, so he considered the words.
"Then I'll uproot them all in half a pillar of incense. You can change some pine trees to plant them, which are more frost-tolerant. ”
As he spoke, Meng Yu didn't give Wei Chixing the time to speak, and took out the Seven Spirit Whip from his trouser leg, and shook his wrist with his breath.
A half-zhang long whip turned into a sword tip with a wild python luster under the strength of her wrist, and rushed towards the bamboo forest.
Wei Chixing could only watch Meng Yu quickly spin the whip in his hand, and the yellowed bamboo leaves flew down as if they couldn't withstand the strong wind.
After pouring effort, there is only one bamboo pole left in the small bamboo forest.
Meng Yu walked out, shook his hair, and shook off the bamboo leaves hanging on it:
"The leaves have been swept away, now help you pull the bamboo and turn the soil."
Meng Yu saw Wei Chixing staring at her face in a daze, thinking that he was impressed by his superb whipping skills.
With a little luck, she rose to her feet and headed straight for the bamboo field.
This time, the Seven Spirit Whip in her hand was a few points softer, and she wrapped up a lot of bamboos at once like a bundle of things, and with a little effort, all the bamboos that were tied were uprooted by her.
"How?"
Meng Yu landed, clapped his hands, put away the whip, raised his feet to the stone bench, and tied the whip.
"Miss Meng, your kung fu is really good. But when you hit the bamboo leaves just now, your mask may have been hooked by the bamboo, and I want to remind you that you didn't have time to say that your face is without a mask. ”
"What?"
Meng Yu hurriedly touched his face.
Sure enough, it was smooth and slippery, and it was no longer full of potholes before.
"Where's my mask?"
Meng Yu cried and asked Wei Chixing opposite.
"Don't worry, it must be in the middle of the bamboo, I'll help you find it."
Wei Chixing was so anxious that Meng Yu was also nervous.
The two of them searched for a short time before they saw the scraped mask that had fallen between the bamboos.
"It's all broken, how can you use it? It's all your fault, you don't believe that my martial arts are profound. ”
Meng Yu's eyes were filled with anger.
Wei Chixing was looked at by her like this, and his heartbeat missed half a beat:
"Don't worry, I know where there is a master of this in Chang'an. You're here waiting for me. I'll bring you a new mask in an hour. The quasi-insurance is exactly the same. ”
"Really?"
"It's true. I'll get you something to eat first, and you'll be right here, just don't go anywhere." ”
Wei Chixing tugged Meng Yu's torn mask into his cuffs, brought him a few plates of pastries, and left in a hurry.
He was still faithful, and when the hour was about to pass, he returned.
"Made?"
Meng Yu stepped forward happily.
"It's done, you give it a try."
Wei Chixing gave her a rather white rubber sheet.
"Why is it so white?"
"The master said that the one I gave him was originally white, but it turned yellow because of time. The yellowed rubber is easy to fall off, and the adhesion is not good. He said, if you use this, it won't be so easy to fall. ”
"Okay."
Meng Yu took it and covered his face:
"How?"
Wei Chixing saw that Meng Yu had changed back again, so he dared to look at her again:
"Yes, it's exactly the same as the original, except it's a little whiter."
"Okay, the time is almost up, I'll go back to the Li Mansion first. We've got it, you're going to help me find out about Half-Face. Also, when Li Fu asks me to copy the scriptures, I will bring them to you. ”
After speaking, Meng Yu prepared to step on the moon and leave.
"Wait, your old mask."
Wei Chixing took out the torn mask from his cuff and chased after him.
"Just help me get rid of it, thanks."
Seeing that Meng Yu had already walked away, Wei Chixing took the mask and didn't know where to put it.
Buried? Not good.
Go up in flames? No way.
Finally, he shoved his mask into his cuffs and went back to his study.
Meng Yu has a helper like Wei Chixing, and he no longer has any worries.
She lived a life of black and white upside down, sleeping in the academy during the day and running outside the city to practice at night.
Work hard for the upcoming battle with Half-Face.
Xu Fuzi looked at the drooping children who worked much harder than Meng Yu, and was heartbroken on the side:
"It's hard to buy an inch of time, Zhiren, you see that the little doll next to you writes better than you, aren't you ashamed?"
Meng Yu rubbed his eyes:
"I'm ashamed, Master Xu, I'm just so ashamed that I can't face my words, so I can only numb myself with sleep. Master Xu, I advise you, I have given up on myself, you don't have to struggle anymore, give up on me. ”
After saying that, she continued to sleep on the table.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved."
"What? He sleeps a lot every day and doesn't learn words? ”
Li Fu listened to Master Xu's words and was furious:
It seems that the scriptures he handed to me every day were copied for him. Master Xu, thank you for telling me this, I almost made a big mistake in front of the Buddha. Xinyu, shout to Tibetan sand, let's go back. ”
"Li Fu, Zhiren probably doesn't like to practice calligraphy in class with those dolls, maybe they practice secretly at night? Don't be angry first, you still have to ask clearly, you can't wronged him. ”
Xu Fuzi saw that Li Fu was so angry, for fear of bringing disaster to Meng Yu, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Master Xu, I know that you have a good heart, but a good heart can only condone opportunistic and lazy people. Don't worry, I will find out about this matter, and I won't wronged him. ”
After Li Fu finished speaking, she and Xinyu walked towards the T-shaped class.
Seeing Li Fu walking towards them with an angry face, Wei Chiyan hurriedly pushed Meng Yu on the side:
"Your master is here, wake up."
Meng Yu was excited, and hurriedly propped himself up and sat upright.
"Zangsha, you come out."
Lee's tone was bad.
"Yes, miss."
Meng Yu rubbed his eyes and walked towards the door.
"You tell me honestly, who copied the scriptures for you every day?"
"Miss, it was written by Zangsha himself."
Li Fu snorted:
"Okay, you can go in now and write me a few words."
"Ahh
"Ahhhh Write quickly. ”
Li Fu dragged Meng Yu into the T-shaped class and stared at her to write.
"Miss, what are you writing?"
"Just write your name, Zangsha."
"Oh."
Meng Yu dipped it in ink and wrote it on the paper one by one.
But there are too many strokes of the word "hidden", and her pen was a little small at the beginning, writing and writing, and the words were all pasted in one place.
"It's funny, I've practiced the words for so long, and I can't even write my last name well. Xinyu, take him back, and punish him with twenty boards today. ”
"Miss, is the punishment so heavy?"
"One more word, ten more boards."
Meng Yu hurriedly covered his mouth, not daring to argue again.
Li Fu took Xinyu and Meng Yu back, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion, the housekeeper Uncle Zhang rushed forward:
"Miss, something is wrong."
"Why are you so flustered?"
"Miss, Childe just received a military report from the battlefield, saying that General Yuan was ambushed and attacked by the Turkic soldiers, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
"What?"
When Li Fu heard this, she glanced at Meng Yu viciously, as if Yuan Lie's accident was caused by her failure to copy the scriptures properly:
"Where is my brother now?"
"Gongzi has gone north with General Xuanwei to help General Yuan."
"My brother doesn't know martial arts, isn't he messing around?"
Li Fu's voice also panicked.
Meng Yu hurriedly seized the opportunity and ran to Li Fu:
"Miss, Zangsha used to dart and knew some fist and foot kung fu. Otherwise, if I protect my son, it will be considered as atonement. Do you think so? ”
Xinyu also hurriedly stepped forward:
"Miss, he was able to save General Yuan before Zangsha, and he brought the Buddha back by himself, so he naturally has his ability, so I think he will let him go."
"Someone prepared two fast horses and a map for him."
Li Fu said angrily:
"If you can protect my brother and keep the general of Zhenguo safe, I will no longer let you learn calligraphy and let you go free."
"Thank you, Miss, for making the sand work to atone for your sins."
