Chapter 45: The Storm Rises
The old lady also forgot the previous unpleasantness, and became pleasant, Long Xiang secretly touched the sweat, although he didn't know what method Xing'er used to invite the master, but he was secretly grateful to Xing'er in his heart, at least until the full moon, the old lady would not be difficult anymore.
After lunch, the old lady pulled the master to talk about things, and the old lady talked about this morning's events, "Master, the old man has just come back today, and he met someone at the funeral, do you say this is an ominous omen?" The fortune teller once said that the old body had a bloody disaster this year, and the old body is now terrified! β
"Don't worry, the fortune teller said that your bloody disaster this year has been resolved, if you insist on stopping people this morning, not letting the funeral procession pass, that is to collide with the dead, as the saying goes, the dead are great, you are embarrassed by someone, and you can't be embarrassed by the dead, this is a big taboo. Fortunately, you let the funeral procession pass today, otherwise this bloody disaster will really come true. The fortune teller estimates that you will not be humble, so they think that you are in a bloody disaster. Now you can rest assured that the calamity has passed, and there will be no Jitai in the future! "The monks don't lie about it, but Master Shaozhi has been taken bad by Xing'er, and he opened his eyes and said this thing, but it is not a lie, if she refuses to let it go today, it will be difficult to ensure that there will be no bleeding disaster. Master Shaozhi saw this clearly, and only then did he say this for Xing'er.
The old lady was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and if she counted it, wouldn't she thank the stinky girl? She said fearfully: "Fortunately, the master is here today, otherwise the old body would have almost made a terrible mistake, so now this calamity is solved?" β
"Naturally, it is solved, the old lady does not have to worry, as long as he is charitable, he has the blessing of the Buddha!" Shao Zhi said something in his words. If this sentence was said to her by someone else, she must have thought that others were deliberately sarcastic about her, but now that it came out of Master Shaozhi's mouth, she was extremely useful, and nodded her head again and again, "The old body must remember the teachings, the master said today, and the old body will be used for a lifetime!" β
Long Xiang smiled and said, "Master, after preparing a feast today, please ask the master to move to the dining room first, and then talk after breakfast!" β
The old lady hurriedly got up and said to Long Xiang, "When the master is in the mansion, the whole family eats fast, and it is not allowed to be contaminated with fishy meat. As a sign of respect for the Master. β
"Obey the instructions of the eldest mother!" Long Xiang said respectfully, as long as she doesn't make trouble, it doesn't hurt to drink the northwest wind. Xing'er smiled, seeing that the whole family looked relieved, this Master Shaozhi did come in time.
Everything was arranged, and it was already sunset, Xing'er told Master Shao Zhi some things to pay attention to, and he wanted to meet this Master Chen for a while. 0
In the capital, there are many Beijing officials, a small Shuntian Mansion Yin, an official of the four grades, is really not eye-catching, but when it comes to Lord Chen's political achievements, everyone still knows it, and there is no case that cannot be broken through his hand, Xing'er listened to the report of the green lotus, and knew it in his heart.
When she returned to the palace, it was already night, she changed into men's clothes, and a picturesque young man came to life.
At night, it is natural to walk the night road, she jumped over the wall a few times, because of the calculation in her heart, and did not find the person following her, walking alone on this cold night street, a little lonely, there are faint lights on the river embankment in the distance, it is a quiet night on the water, Xing'er was a little dumbfounded, fixed to look at the lights and lose her mind, maybe there is an expectation in her heart, but she knows that as a woman of the Long family, many things can not be mastered by herself, because of this cognition, she has never taken the initiative to pursue her own life in the past 20 yearsand ask for sure what form it is. But now, when the mountain rain is about to come, seeing the quiet fishing fire and the ordinary atmosphere, she has a moment of heartbeat, smiles bitterly, and continues on the road.
Lu Lotus whispered in his ear, "The prince is following behind!" Xing'er straightened his back, but he didn't look back, he had already seen her disguise and travel at night, even if he didn't know her identity, he must be able to guess a little, and he could secretly detect that she was not the same Long Xing'er as before, but he didn't ask a word, didn't he care? Or don't care? Maybe he just wanted her to help him find Moyang, the woman who had been entrenched in his heart for a long time.
A trace of bitterness flashed in her heart, unknown bitterness, she knew that such happiness, she would never have it in her life, Pang Haoyun, she was destined to live up, she was emotionally moved at that time, and the promise she made, now that she calmed down, she knew her innocence, unless her mana in this body was exhausted, otherwise she would be a member of the Long family until she died, stick to her post until the last moment, and she must not talk about marriage! And he has an incomparable yearning for marriage, such a simple man, as white as jade, she really can't bear to let him get involved in the circle of right and wrong. What he asked for was exactly what she couldn't afford.
Xing'er retracted her mind and gave Green Lotus a look, and Green Lotus was clear. So at the next corner, Green Lotus pretended to be a passer-by and quickly bumped into Ye Che, Ye Che hurriedly helped her steady, Green Lotus retracted his hand, afraid that he would perceive her coldness, but Ye Che had already recognized her, but he was silent in his heart, and heard Nong Er mention it a few times, saying that Green Lotus followed Long Xing'er, and now seeing her appear here, it must be Xing'er who has discovered him and deliberately wants to get rid of him, but she travels late at night, what is it for?
Green Lotus said, "I'm sorry! Then he left in a hurry, Ye Che stood in the quiet street, the cold wind lifted his clothes, thinking of the little fool of the Wudang faction, did she go to meet him?
Bitterness once again circulated in his mouth, for this woman, he can no longer turn a blind eye, today she does not return for a day, he was anxious for a day, and finally looked forward to her return in the dark, but just changed his clothes and went out again, he couldn't help it, he followed her, walked through the empty and lonely long streets, under the faint moon shadow, only she and him walked one after the other, thinking of the girl's indifferent face in the Xuantian mirror, just like she looked at the distant fishing fire and longed, could they be the same person? Even if it's the same person, what about it? The national teacher once said that she is just here to repay her affection, and she is not his white-headed person after all. He looked coldly at the stars in the sky, and then remembered Xing'er's cold face, and there was a trace of certainty in his heart, the will of heaven is like this, he insists on going against the sky, what should he do? He's the regent of the world, what else is beyond his reach?
At this moment, he is naΓ―ve, just because the long-term attachment in his heart can not be explained, and the woman who has been with him also died for himself, he is actually a simple man, he already has power, and it is not rare, what is lacking now is only the fit of the other half of the heart. It's just that the affairs of the world, how can the world be controlled? Maybe in a second, the situation will be very different.
Xing'er jumped into the wall of Shuntianfu in a few clicks, and directly broke into Lord Chen's study, Lord Chen was analyzing the case with Gao Yanli, suddenly the door of the study was pushed in, only to see Xing'er come in with a smile, although it was a man's dress, but Lord Chen had handled countless cases, and those eyes were more than fiery eyes, and he recognized her at a glance, and Gao Yanli naturally recognized her, and his eyes stared straight at her, without any concealment.
"I've seen my mother!" Lord Chen saluted and said, "I don't know if Niangniang is coming late at night, what's the matter?" There was not the slightest hint of surprise on his faint expression, as if it was just an ordinary thing.
"Naturally, I'm not here to chat and drink tea!" Xing'er smiled slightly, "I heard that Lord Chen has handled countless cases, and he has never misjudged a case, and none of the cases that have been handled by adults cannot be solved, I want to ask my lord, is it true?" β
"Dare to love the mother, tonight is the teacher of Xing Xing Guilt!" Master Chen's face was calm, and his vast eyes were as deep as the sea.
"My lord has a clear conscience, what crime can I ask you?" Xing'er asked rhetorically.
Lord Chen smiled heartily, "In this capital, even if you have a clear conscience, there is trouble to come to the door, of course, what the lower official said is not Niangniang!" β
"But I'm definitely a nuisance!" Xing'er's face began to be a little heavy, Gao gradually moved a chair and asked her to sit down, seeing her frowning, she asked, "Niangniang has something to do, but it doesn't matter!" β
Xing'er glanced at Gao Yanli, then looked at Lord Chen, and said earnestly, "Lord Chen, I came here this time to ask for something!" β
"If the mother has something to do, just tell me, don't say the word!" Master Chen was sitting precariously, and his expression became serious.
"I would like to invite your Excellency to take a trip to the Dragon Mansion on the night of the full moon this month!" Xing'er didn't use the palace this time, but said directly to me, she is using her own identity to ask for help, not an order, after all, there is a certain danger in this matter, and no one knows what emergency will happen.
"Rest assured, on the night of the full moon, the next official will definitely arrive!" Lord Chen didn't ask in detail, Niangniang must have a reason for doing this, if it weren't for the tricky matter, how could she ignore her identity and come to him late at night to ask him for help?
"Gao Catcher......" Xing'er turned his head to look at Gao Yuanli, and just wanted to ask him, but he had already said lightly, "The humble duty must also arrive!" Xing'er smiled, got up and said, "Since you are all willing to help, then this is the case in advance, Lord Chen, I will slowly explain things to you in a few days, but at this moment, I still have a place to go, go first!" β
"Mother, go slowly!" Lord Chen and Gao gradually got up to send each other off.
Xing'er nodded, and disappeared into the night in a few clicks, Gao Yanli looked at her back thoughtfully, a little distracted, Lord Chen patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "Silly boy, don't think about it, she is not an ordinary person!" β
Gao gradually retracted his gaze, his face was indifferent, only the tenderness under his eyes was still clearly visible, he was not delusional, but he couldn't control the urge to look at her.
"You've only met her two or three times, why?" Master Chen was a little puzzled.
"What can be explained is never love!" Gao Yanli said lightly, "I can't tell why, maybe there is no reason!" β
