Chapter 424: Past Events II
That day, Wan Ying and Miss Liu followed Liu Shanren as usual, went out to give porridge under the heavy rain, and then met the legendary national teacher.
It's just that none of them knew his identity at the time.
Gong Ming was wearing a poncho and an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, but his whole body was still drenched in the torrential rain, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed.
He had gone out to investigate the danger.
The torrential rain lasted for more than half a month, and everyone in the court was anxious, but he and Master had nothing to do about this angry disaster.
The cultivation of the two of them is already very profound, but manpower is not the opponent of heaven after all, and he can only keep the palace from being covered by stagnant water despite his best efforts to lay out the formation, but the rest of the capital cannot be taken into account.
The emperor issued a holy decree to summon the world's talents, and whoever can solve the flood will receive a huge reward, so monks from all over the country began to rush to the capital in a steady stream.
He knew that there was no way for these people to stop the rain.
So he ignored those who came after him, but ran out every day, doing his best to help the people affected by the disaster in the capital.
Gong Ming heard that the Liu family was giving porridge, so he decided to come and take a look, and then met the woman who made him fall in love.
At that time, she followed the other girl, carefully handed the porridge in her hand to the child in front of her who was soaking wet and shivering, and very carefully told the child to go under the canopy, so that the porridge was splashed by the rain.
The girl can only be regarded as delicate, and she is not as good-looking as the companion next to her. But she was mature beyond her peers, and there was an indomitable look of determination in her eyes, which attracted his attention almost instantly.
She was so busy handing porridge to the refugees that she didn't notice him at all, so he looked for a while in a more remote place.
Perhaps his gaze was too direct, and the girl quickly noticed him.
What impressed Gong Ming was that the girl was obviously stunned when she saw him covered all over his body, and then hurriedly ran over with a bowl of porridge.
"Drink some porridge to warm up."
She said.
This was the first thing the two said, and after a brief exchange of words between the two, Wan Ying hurriedly ran back to continue to be busy. Later, when Gong Ming went out of the palace to inspect again, he would deliberately go around here before going back, just to chat with her for a while.
Sometimes, because I was in too much of a hurry, I would take a look at it from a distance and leave.
Gong Ming was obsessed with Wan Ying, but he didn't tell her his identity. Wan Ying only thought that he was the son of which family, and the two talked happily and became friends.
The torrential rain and flooding lasted for more than a month, and when everyone thought that the capital might overturn under this natural disaster, a person suddenly came to the court.
That person has white hair, white eyebrows, white eyes, and white clothes, and his appearance is also very outstanding. Gong Ming furrowed his brows as soon as he appeared, because he felt a very powerful power from this person's body.
It was a power he had never seen before, even a few points deeper than the most powerful monk he had ever seen.
The white man said that he could solve the current flood, and the civil and military officials at that time only thought he was talking big and didn't pay much attention to it, but the man just smiled, and then turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky.
Gong Ming stood up from the chair very out of shape at that time, because he saw a white tail because of his profound skills and excellent eyesight.
Not people!
Before Gong Ming could think of what kind of creature it was, the rainstorm subsided, and the clouds dispersed. The sun that had disappeared for more than a month shone down, and almost everyone was stunned by this change, and uncontrollable ecstasy ensued.
Dragon!
Only a dragon can do that!
Gong Ming didn't care about the shock, he was still thinking about the pure white shadow just now.
But the figure that flashed in the clouds did not have claws under the abdomen, and the overall look was more like a Jiao...
This is a Jiao who has not yet turned into a dragon and has cultivated but is almost the same as a dragon!
Gong Ming's mind had such a guess, but he didn't say it directly, but was going to go back and check the ancient book first, so as to determine the identity of the creature.
Because the flood is over, even if the emperor decides to hold a grand sacrifice to the heavens, he has thanked God for opening his eyes and the help of the mysterious man, and as a national teacher, he is naturally the presiding officer of this ceremony.
Due to the urgency of time, Gong Ming was almost dizzy during this period of time, so he naturally didn't care about seeing Wanying.
Wan Ying missed this friend who had a good impression of her, and she realized that after knowing her for so long, the other party had not told her any information about herself.
An irrepressible sense of loss rose in her heart.
The ceremony was held as scheduled, and almost all the people in the capital came to watch this grand ceremony, and Wanying was no exception.
At that time, she was standing beside Miss Liu and looking at the altar in the distance, but suddenly found that the figure standing in front of the stage in full costume seemed to be somewhat familiar.
The thought that rose in her mind made her feel incredible, and Wan Ying told herself that she had recognized the wrong person, so she forced down the thought in her heart.
But just after the ceremony, the person who hadn't changed his costume walked directly to this side, which made her heart stir up.
When she got closer, she realized that this person was the person she was thinking about in her heart.
He turned out to be the legendary young national teacher!
Wan Ying was shocked by this fact, but after saying a few words to Liu Shanren, the other party turned his gaze directly to her and greeted them with a familiar smile.
"Miss Liu, Miss Wanying, long time no see."
A few people knew each other some time ago, and Miss Liu naturally recognized Gong Ming. originally thought it was an ordinary rich son, but I didn't expect the other party to be the person she had always imagined in her mind, and Miss Liu fell almost immediately.
Gong Ming did not avoid suspicion, and after dealing with the follow-up chores of the flood, he visited Liu's house very frequently and asked Wanying to go out to play.
It's just that Miss Liu and Wan Ying are inseparable friends, so he invites the two girls to travel together every time.
So in the capital, the rumors of the love between the national teacher and Miss Liu came out.
Liu Dashan can see clearly that his daughter loves the national teacher, but the national teacher is full of heart. Although he is kind, he naturally thinks about his daughter at this time.
He thought that he treated Wanying well, and there was no need to accommodate her in this kind of matter related to his daughter's happiness, so he directly found the emperor and proposed marriage.
The Liu family's faction is a faction that the emperor trusts, and Gong Ming has indeed moved frequently with Miss Liu during this period of time, so the emperor also thinks that this is something that both parties are happy to agree on, even if he decrees marriage.
In just half a day, the news of Gong Guoshi and Miss Liu's marriage spread throughout the capital.
