Yangzhou, the residence of the Huainan Jiedu Embassy.

The mansion is located on the banks of the canal, with five courtyards in the front, two in the middle and two in the main courtyard, and two in the back garden and a pond connected to the canal.

There is a huge warehouse on the west side of the fourth courtyard, and the Huainan Jiedu envoy Ling Fox is carrying his hands behind his back, his eyebrows are locked, and he is staring at the door of this warehouse.

Ling Fox stretched out his hand and wanted to push the door open, but hesitated, put his hand down again, turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he turned back again, stretched out his hand again and wanted to push the door, but his hand reached halfway and stopped again.

"Hey!" This was repeated several times, causing the fox to sigh deeply, and finally shook his head, and when he turned to leave, the door of the warehouse was opened from the inside.

"Daddy!" A young man walked out of it, and when he saw Ling Fox, a trace of panic flashed on his face, but he immediately calmed down again.

This young man was plain-looking, tall, lean, with small eyes, deep-set and gray circles, and he should only look in his twenties, but he always made people feel old and haggard.

"Son, have you forgotten your father's words?" Ling Fox looked at the young man angrily.

This young man turned out to be the legendary Prime Minister of Buyi - Ling Hujiao.

"Dad, your words, the child will remember them, how dare you forget." Ling Hu hurriedly made a statement.

"Then why did you enter this warehouse again?" Ling Fox asked.

"Today, the master is teaching a new lesson, and the child has just come in." Ling Hu Ju turned around and pushed all the warehouse doors open, and a chubby monk walked out of the door.

This monk is not tall but covered in flesh, especially a face, which is like a wave, from the forehead to the chin, is covered with curved folds. But for some reason, this fold is actually bent upward, coupled with smiling eyes and mouth, which makes people feel that this monk is smiling all over his face, and he is really worthy of the title of smiling Buddha.

"Hello, Master Fallac." When Ling Fox saw this great monk, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

"Lord Linghu, the poor monk is polite." Fallacious dust returned the salute to Ling Fox. "After today's lesson, the poor monk's lecture will come to an end, and he will not bother him in the future." Although Mi Chen still had a smile on his face, after saying this, he turned around and left.

"Master, master!" Ling Fox hurriedly chased after him.

"Lord Linghu, I don't know what else to advise." Muchen turned his head to look at Ling Fox.

"Master, you have misunderstood me." Ling Fox hurriedly explained. "The dog has some bad habits, this warehouse is his... Hey, I'm not targeting the master, and I ask the master not to be too careful. ”

"Bad habits?" Fallacy looked at Ling Fox. "Zhu'er, did you hide it from your teacher and do something you shouldn't have done?"

"No, Master!" Ling Fox hurriedly denied it. "The apprentice has always been clean and self-righteous according to the master's teachings, and never dared to disobey the half-point"

"Hmm!" Muchen nodded. "That's fine, otherwise not only will the previous efforts be wasted, but it will also hurt the root cause!"

"Remember Master's teachings." Ordered the fox to bow and salute. "Master, come with me, and the apprentice will present this month's filial piety."

"Okay, haha." Hearing this, Mu Chen's originally smiling face smiled even brighter.

Ling Fox heard the conversation between the two, and a complicated look appeared on his face, but in the end, he just shook his head, said goodbye to Mu Chen, turned around and walked to the front yard.

Ling Hu Xuan waited for Ling Hu Xuan to go away, and then led Mu Chen to the fifth courtyard.

Most of the fifth courtyard is a pond. The southern part of the pond is surrounded by a pavilion and a pier, and the northern part is surrounded by a courtyard wall with a semicircular arch more than three meters wide, through which the pond communicates with the canal. At this time, a boat was parked on the dock, and two men dressed in black stood at the bow.

One of them was thin and the other was stout. Skinny less than 1.4 meters, a pair of eyes surprisingly large; Thick figure-of-eight eyebrows, drooping eyes, and the mouth is also downward. At first glance, the two of them feel like ordinary people.

When Ling Hulu saw the two, he immediately stepped forward, and the two of them hurriedly greeted Ling Hulu when they saw them.

"Childe!" "Childe!" The two of them saluted Ling Hulu with a fist.

"Hmm." Ling Hu Yan nodded. "But it's going well?"

"Hands on it!" Skinny people are full of confidence.

"Bragging! You'd almost be caught, if it weren't for me—" The stout man pouted with a look of disdain.

"Shut up!" The thin man pointed to Lao Sha's nose, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be about to pop out. "You Shar Pei, stupid as a pig, without me, you would have been caught to make fragrant meat!"

"Anyway, I caught three, you..." "Without my command, you can't catch any of them!" Hum! Lao Sha was rough and wanted to continue to fight, but was immediately interrupted by the little man.

"Nonsense! "Alright, alright! Lao Sha was about to refute, which made the fox frown impatiently. Ji Liang, Sha Quan, don't quarrel, if you can complete the task, my son will be rewarded. ”

"Thank you, Childe!" "Thank you, Childe!" When they heard this, they glared at each other, and they were all happy.

"Where's the goods?" Ling Hu asked again.

"On board!" Ji Liang replied.

"Good!" Ling Hu Ju turned to look at Mu Chen. "Master, come with the apprentice."

"Hmm." Mu Chen squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Ji Liang and Sha Quan, still with a smiling expression on his face. "Interesting! Interesting! ”

Ji Liang and Sha Quan should have seen Muchen for the first time, and when they saw Muchen's smiling face and said inexplicable words to the two, they were immediately a little unhappy.

"Old monk, what's so interesting!" Ji Liang bared his teeth and glared at Muchen.

"I'll show you what's interesting." Sha Quan was even more direct, and punched him as he spoke.

Bang!

"Oops! Oops! Sha Quan's punch hit Mu Chen's body, like hitting an iron plate, holding his fist and wailing.

"Stinky monk, look for death!" Ji Liang saw that Sha Quan had suffered a loss, and in an instant, he rushed to Mu Chen's side, and quickly paddled towards Mu Chen with both hands.

Muchen still smiled, but let out a cold snort.

Bang!

A sinister aura emanated from Mu Chen's body, and Ji Liang and Sha Quan were shocked and retreated more than two meters away. I saw that the two of them were all on the ground with their hands and feet, their backs hunched, their teeth bared, and their eyes were fixed on Muchen, as if they were going to eat him.

"Two puppies, they dare to go wild in front of this Buddha!" Muchen was still smiling, but his originally white skin began to turn red from the inside out, and his eyes became even redder, as if he could burst into flames.

"Ji Liang, Sha Quan, stop me!" After Ling Hu saw that Mu Chen was angry, he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it. "Master, it's okay for the apprentice to discipline his subordinates, you are angry!"

Hearing Ling Huxuan's words, Ji Liang and Sha Quan hurriedly put away their posture, and the color of Muchen's body also faded.

Mu Chen turned his eyes to look at Ling Hu and smiled meaningfully. "Nothing to hurt, nothing to destroy, see?"

"The apprentice saw it, and the apprentice knew his mistake." Ling Hu hurriedly made amends to the fallacious dust.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay."

"Master, please get on board." Ling Hu came to the front of the boat in three steps and two steps, and reached out and grabbed the reins.

"Hmm." Muchen nodded, raised his legs and boarded the boat.

Ling Hulu looked at Ji Liang and the two, smiled at the two of them with satisfaction, and then followed.

………

A woman in her forties knelt in front of the Buddha hall and prayed silently.

The woman was dressed in silk clothes, her skin was fair, her brows were furrowed, and although her eyes were closed, the corners of her mouth were slightly downturned, and she seemed to be troubled.

"Madam, the master is back, the master is back."

At this time, a little maid ran in from outside, looking panicked.

"Come back, come back." The woman opened her eyes with tears in her eyes.

"But, let him know that you're a young lady again..."

"If you know, you'll know!" The woman's brow furrowed.

The woman got up and walked out the door. Outside the Buddha hall, Ling Hu was carrying his hands behind his back, with an angry face. This woman turned out to be Ling Huyu's wife, Sun Yan.

"How many times have you told you and forgotten about her! Forget about her! Ling Fox said viciously.

"I'm her mother, how can I forget it." Sun Yan's face was sad.

"So what! From the day she insisted on going her own way, I thought she was dead! ”

"Have you forgotten us?" Sun Yan's tears finally flowed.

"Hey, it's because of our experience that I don't want her to repeat the mistakes of the past." When Ling Huyu said this, his voice trembled a little, and he was actually a little emotional.

"Is there anything wrong with us doing this?"

"Linghu family, we are the only ones staying alone in this remote small county, what do you think is because of this?"

"Hey, I know it's my family background that is not good, and it has affected you." Sun Yan sighed. "I know you'll regret it."

"I didn't!" Ling Fox was resolute. "But Ping'er is our daughter, I don't want her to suffer, hey!"

"What about suffering? Now I have no worries about food and clothing, but every day I feel sad in my heart, it is better to..."

"What's the point of you saying this now!" Ling Fox turned his head away. "Li You threatened to investigate to the end, if you continue like this, it is very likely that the Linghu family's big affairs will be ruined!"

"Linghu family, Linghu family, do you only have Linghu family in your heart? Is the man I loved so much still alive today? Sun Yan stared at Ling Huyu's back.

"Yan'er, don't say any more." Ling Fox shook his head. "There are some things that you still don't know as well." After Ling Huyu finished speaking, he raised his legs and left the Buddha hall.

"Don't know? Do you think I don't know? Sun Yan muttered to herself, turned around and walked towards the Buddha hall.
