Chapter 64: Return to Beijing

After a while, Ali found his voice in the expectant gaze of the disheartened Taoist, only to see him blushing, quickly shouting "Father" and quickly lowering his head, seemingly extremely uncomfortable.

A slight brightness flashed in the eyes of the heartless Daoist, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Ali, come and sit next to your father." ”

Mrs. Sui burst into tears when she saw the scene of father and son recognizing each other.

The family of three recognized each other, and Mrs. Sui naturally moved into Qingyunguan, and Chu Nian also lived in Qingyunguan for a few days, so he went to find the Taoist who had lost his heart and prepared to say goodbye.

In the wing room, the heartless Taoist is teaching Ali swordsmanship, the blood is thicker than water, the father and son who have never seen each other recognized each other and became intimate within a few days, Aliyang taught him swordsmanship, and the heartless Taoist responded, so Ali officially became a disciple of Qingyunguan, and because of the relationship between the heartless Taoist, he went directly to the inner door.

"Father, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

The Heartless Daoist frowned and looked at it carefully for a while, before reaching out and raising Ali's hand holding the sword a few points higher, "That's right, remember, the sword must be strong, otherwise it will ......"

When Chu Nian arrived at the wing, he saw the harmonious scene of father and son, and he couldn't bear to disturb it, so he stood at the door for a long time, with a nostalgic smile on his face.

Once upon a time, it was the same when she pestered her father to teach her to read.

Ali noticed Chu Nian first, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Sister Nian'er, why are you here, aren't you going to play in the mountains today?" ”

Mrs. Sui was seven months pregnant when Su's father married Su's mother, Chu Nian was more than half a year younger than Ali, Ali learned about it, so he had to change his mouth to call Chu Nian "Nian'er", Chu Nian had to respond, since then Ali also regarded Chu Nian as his own sister, shh

A few days ago, Ali was extremely curious about the mountain where Qingyunguan was sitting, so he accompanied Chu Nian, and Chu Nian took a few comforts who had to follow, and the six of them had a lot of fun.

Hearing Ah Li's words, the disheartened Taoist realized Chu Nian's existence, smiled and nodded to Chu Nian, and then said, "Nian'er is here?" Have you had lunch? ”

Chu Nian nodded, "Heartless Daoist, Ali, I'm here to resign." ”

The disheartened Taoist suddenly looked stunned, and saw Ali hurriedly said: "What's the hurry, it's good to play for a few more days." ”

Chu Nian smiled and didn't speak, but he looked at Chu Nian thoughtfully, and after a while, he nodded helplessly and said, "It's okay to go back, but didn't you say that you want to ask me to borrow someone?" I'll call someone to you to see if it's suitable. ”

As he spoke, he got up and said outside, "Bao, call Zhuqing." ”

Not long after, a man dressed in a white Taoist robe, black hair and shawl, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, entered the wing, and he respectfully saluted the disheartened Taoist.

"Elder."

The heartless Taoist nodded, "Get up, Nian'er, this is my personal disciple, Zhuqing, I have taught him most of the things I will, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian moved his gaze from the peachwood sword in Ah Li's hand to Zhu Qing's body, and the two looked at each other, the starry eyes did not blink, but they couldn't see any emotion, very wooden. Chu Nian nodded, what she wanted was just the name of Qingyunguan, she could trust the vision of the disheartened Taoist, this person was by no means a treacherous person, usable.

Seeing that Chu Nian agreed, the disheartened Dao Chang nodded and said, "Zhuqing, you just go with Nian'er, remember, you must take Nian'er's instructions as my instructions." ”

"Yes, Elder."

The disheartened Taoist waved his hand, "You go and pack up your salute, and go back with Nian'er later." ”

After Zhu Qing left, the disheartened Taoist turned his eyes to Chu Nian and said: "Zhu Qing is a little wooden, but he is absolutely loyal, you can use it with confidence, if you need to send someone to tell me again." ”

Chu Nian nodded and thanked her, and when she saw the heartless Taoist frowning, she smiled and said, "Could it be that Uncle Heartless is still worried about Nian'er." ”

The disheartened Taoist pinched his forehead, and there was helplessness in his tone, as if he had secretly taken Su Nian out to play, but Su Nian was in trouble, "I know you are smart, but you are too ......desperate to do anything" His voice stopped suddenly, and there was deep meaning in his eyes when he looked at Chu Nian.

"I won't interfere too much in what you're going to do, but you have to remember not to upset the people who care about you."

Chu Nian's face was stunned, he opened his mouth, and then saw that he was disheartened and got up and drove away: "Okay, go and pack your things, remember what I said." ”

was pushed out, Chu Nian smiled helplessly behind the door, the heartless Taoist often practices divination, when he went to visit Su's house, the children hid things, begging him to calculate the location, often a quasi-child, so many years have passed, presumably the divination of the heartless Taoist has already been practiced, and now her secret is afraid that she can't hide it.

After a while, the group came out of Qingyun Temple, Ali wanted to follow to Kyoto to see and see, but was driven back by Chu Nian, but this time he didn't take the carriage, and the disheartened Taoist prepared another horse for Zhuqing, a group of six people and six horses, and set off towards Kyoto.

The dark guards were very curious when they saw Zhu Qing for the first time, but Zhu Qing was always expressionless, and almost wrote the four big words "Don't enter the living" on their faces, so the dark guards were just muttering curiously on the side, but they rode their horses on the other side of Chu Nian and didn't dare to approach Zhu Qing.

Chu Nian's gaze swept over the few people who were still whispering, and several of them were immediately silenced, and then they turned to look at Zhu Qing, "Daoist Zhu Qing, do you know what I'm going to ask you to do?" You're coming along? ”

Zhu Qing's eyes did not squint, and his neck was as if a straight wooden stick had been stuffed into it, "The elder's order, how can you not obey." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, "If I let you do something bad, even something that is life-threatening, will you go?" ”

Zhu Qing rolled his eyes, and his starry eyes couldn't see any emotion, "The elder's order must be obeyed." ”

The secret guards on the side looked at each other, they were also loyal to Ming Xiu on weekdays, and they went to the soup with Ming Xiu's birth and death, that was also because they grew up with Ming Xiu, but this newcomer, he hadn't said a few words to the third lady, so he made it clear that he would go no matter what the third lady asked him to do, and the dark guards were stunned all of a sudden.

"Another day, I should ask the Heartless Taoist Master how he trained people to be so obedient...... I'll try to make Mei Xiang obedient a little later......"

"I think His Royal Highness should find a heartless Taoist to learn, three ladies......"

Halfway through the dark words, he looked at Shang Chu Nian with a smiling eye, and was suddenly silent, but he felt that every hair on his body stood up.

Chu Nian still looked at him with a smile, it seemed like a spring breeze, but in fact, the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "What do you want to say?" ”

Seeing Chu Nian like this, he hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's nothing ......"

Dark San suddenly laughed: "I'll just say, I'm not the most talkative in us...... Hey? Three ladies? What do you have hanging on your reins? ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately focused their eyes on Chu Nian's men, Hei Yan sneezed uneasily, and on the reins that Chu Nian was holding tightly, there was a black rope hanging from it, and the rope was tied to a small wooden tube, which was also black.

Chu Nian frowned and took off the bamboo tube, and a note fell out, which was quickly caught by Chu Nian, and there was a line of small characters written on the note in vigorous handwriting: "The old house of the Su family, Mu Niangzi, Lord Chen, danger." Quick return. ”

The inscription is a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing with three words written "peach words".

Tao Jinyan doesn't look like a person who makes such a boring joke, and most of this information is true.

Thinking about it, Chu Nian tightened the reins and waved his horsewhip, "We have to go back quickly." ”

……

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, Zhengyang Palace, the person on the couch sat up suddenly, as if the movement was too big and pulled the wound on his leg, he frowned, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the top of his forehead. Ming Xiu gritted his teeth and looked at the man on the ground with a pale face.

"King Huainan wants to return to Beijing?"

A figure on the ground knelt on one knee, "Yes, Your Highness, I left Huainan yesterday." ”

This Huainan King is the emperor's fifth brother, but not the same mother, when he won the heir, because of the young and vigorous collision with the emperor, the first emperor was so angry that the emperor almost fainted, which gave the queen at that time the current queen mother can take advantage of the opportunity, the queen mother in order to make the current emperor smoothly ascend the throne, then the king of Huainan before the action into the slander, so the king of Huainan was sent to Huainan by the emperor, has stayed until now.

Ming Xiu frowned, there was just a mess during the autumn festival, what did King Huainan do when he came back at this time?

After a moment, he looked at the man on the ground, "When do they say they're back?" ”

"Your Highness, it is said that the third lady has accelerated her pace, and she will probably be able to arrive at Jishitang tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Ming Xiu's eyes sank for a while, and after a while, he frowned and rolled his eyes, "You go to Jishitang and wait, if the third lady comes back, you must know as soon as possible." ”

……

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Nian and his party had already arrived at Jishitang, and they hurried all night to make Chu Nian's wound open again, and when they arrived at Jishitang, they took off their coats, and the blood had already penetrated through the light clothing, and Chu Nian's shoulders were red a lot.

Seeing Chu Nian, Ah Wu suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Lady!" How can you be so uncaring for your body! ”

Because she was angry, Auntie's action of changing the dressing was also a little bigger, and the pain made Chu Nian's face pale, so she reluctantly slowed down her movements, Chu Nian smiled and said, "You must be a strict mother in the future." ”

Auntie blushed at her ridicule, hurriedly changed the medicine, and then frowned and said, "Why is the lady in such a hurry to come back?" Fang Cai said that Heiyan ran too fast, and he was about to turn into a shuttle. ”

Chu Nian frowned, but he didn't answer the question, "What big things have happened in the city recently?" ”

Hearing this, Ah Wu lowered her head and thought for a while before she said: "Mei Xiang came over that day and said that she heard the news of the Shen family, and Shen Erniang was punished for copying scriptures and sat in the study for seven days, but she didn't find out why. ”

Chu Nian's watery eyes flashed, "Is there any news from the Chen family?" And the Mu family? ”

"Oh, by the way, the Marquis of Zhenyuan entered Beijing without an edict and was fined for three years, what is the lady doing about this? Is something big wrong? ”

As soon as Ah Ran's voice fell, she looked at Chu Nian who was getting up, "Lady? ”

At this time, the dark two and the dark four who had just been sent out came back, the dark two's face was tightly covered by the mask and the expression could not be seen, but the dark four who rarely had any expression on weekdays, at this moment he frowned tightly, looked at Chu Nian, and his eyes were serious.
