Chapter Twenty-Six: The New Bureau
Xiao Yuming quickly passed by the dark corner, without any notice of us, and muttered as he walked: "That girl left so quickly..."
It seems that Xiao Qin'er really didn't plan to invite Xiao Yuming to go with her, but Xiao Yuming's words made me suspicious, because after walking such a long distance, why did she mutter at this time? It felt like it was deliberately said to me.
Forget it, when it is true and false, it is true and false, there are too many possibilities, and I can't dialectize, I can only take one step at a time, and see the move, but I did fall into the weakness, then Xiao Qin'er said that something was revealed to me, and I really want to know what kind of purpose Xiao Yuming has for me.
Huo Xuan was a little confused, and didn't understand why he sneaked away from that person, but with his swordsman's hearing ability, he quickly noticed that the footsteps were far away, and said, "Brother Yinfeng, princess, the others have left." ”
This guy can speak so officially, think about the crazy woman who was still scolding people yesterday.
So we followed Xiao Qin'er to a restaurant, but I thought to myself if she would make an appointment with someone here, so I didn't agree to eat here, in fact, I also wanted to see Xiao Qin'er's reliability.
She didn't mind, and said that the food here was also average, so let me recommend one, and I wasn't very familiar with this place, but I remember that night, I, Luo Yin and Huo Xuan found the stall together, and it was easier to escape there.
Xiao Qin'er was disappointed, seeing that the stall was placed on the side of the street, it didn't look very hygienic, but suddenly asked me if it was the place where the three of us ate together that day, Huo Xuan said yes, and she agreed to eat here.
After ordering a few small dishes at random, the three of us sat down around a small table.
"Little princess, now let me tell me some of the things you said?" I will not be polite, for fear that there will be some variables.
"Brother wants to borrow you to win over the relationship with the [Taiyin Society]. Xiao Qin'er was refreshing, and she also avoided beating around the bush and returned directly.
It seems that this Xiao Qin'er is indeed the same as she said, and she came to ask me to tell me something.
"Brother, is it the current Emperor?" Huo Xuan interjected.
"Shut up!" Xiao Qin'er scolded.
Huo Xuan hurriedly covered his mouth and drank boiling water pitifully on the side.
"But I saved him, did I treat my life-saver like this? "I'm a little excited.
As soon as these words came out, even Huo Xuan was shocked, although the [Lin] guild I belonged to was originally a traitorous organization rumored by the outside world, but at this time, such a naked evaluation of the rulers was a bit excessive.
But what you can say is like water that has been spilled, and it is difficult to take it back.
"I understand you, but don't say that in public, okay?" Xiao Qin'er held her breath and even comforted me.
I already regretted it, so I hurriedly softened and said, "I'm sorry, you go on, why did he do this?"
"I don't know very well, but through what I learned from that [Taiyin Society], I probably know that my brother wants you to exchange some benefits from the [Taiyin Society], and if I guess correctly, it should be related to his own political side. Xiao Qin'er sighed.
"Usurpation?" Huo Xuan immediately became vigilant.
"Shut up and drink water. "This time it was my turn to say.
That Huo Xuan didn't even drink boiling water this time, pouting and looking in other directions very uncomfortably.
"It's not impossible for Huo to execute what he said, there has always been a political gap between the emperor and his brother, and the elder brother has always had his own wings in the political institutions, so that the emperor finally couldn't tolerate it and imprisoned him, so this time the brother borrowed you to join forces with the [Taiyin Society], and it is not impossible to fall out with the emperor of the current dynasty. Xiao Qin'er said.
"I'll just say well, and tell me to shut up. Huo Xuan finally found an outlet for catharsis and hurriedly said.
"You don't even know who it is, how dare you mention the word usurpation in public?" Xiao Qin'er learned a lesson, and it was also for me to play a round.
Huo Xuan made a gesture to close his mouth and drooped his head.
"Understood, I see, thank you, little princess. "I'm grateful.
Hearing Xiao Qin'er's words, I finally understood the reason, I finally didn't go around in a fog, and I realized that this little girl really wanted to help me.
But with her brother on one side and a stranger on the other, why did she choose to help me and tell me the truth?
"You're welcome, I just think my brother owes you too much, so you almost died, and I, who is a good sister, can make up for it. Xiao Qin'er said in a low voice.
I see, she just wants to make amends, and it seems that I am thinking too much.
"I feel like you've changed a lot, you're sensible... But your brother is your brother, and he will make up for it after all. I said.
She nodded helplessly, expressing her approval.
Then we had a simple meal, I didn't expect the pampered little princess to like this street stall, eating happily, the mouth was full of oil, things were talked, the heart was released, what to eat at this time is very fragrant.
After eating, we were about to say goodbye, Huo Xuan secretly told me that the princess was no longer so embarrassed about him recently, and he had slept the most comfortable sleep in the past two days last night, and then I sent them to the boat on the dock, and when I was about to leave, Xiao Qin'er suddenly stopped me.
"Thank you, Yinfeng! Thank you for wanting to protect me when you were in danger at that time, I was very moved, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you. Xiao Qin'er said as she spoke, and suddenly choked up.
I just remembered that at that time, I was indeed controlled by the magic of my mind, and before I was about to faint, I also used the "fire control technique" to give Xiao Qin'er a chance to escape, but at that time I just wanted to live up to the trust of others, but I didn't expect her to keep it in mind for this.
The boat was about to leave and Huo Xuan had already walked into the cabin, but Xiao Qin'er kept looking at me until they couldn't see each other clearly.
I exhaled, how many people do I have to send away in a day, how many times do I sigh?
It's better to hurry back to practice, at least you can see my Jingwen tomorrow morning.
When I returned to the "land of wonderland", it was already dark, and I don't know if I just saw Huang Lao come out to light the lamp, or if he waited for me to come back before lighting the lamp, in short, the two of them took a look.
I then remembered that Huang Lao specially covered Xiao Qin'er with clothes at that time, afraid that she would be cold, maybe it was to remind me that this girl was not the one who harmed me, and this Huang Lao was quite worried about me.
In the evening, I wrote a letter to my mother and put it in the messenger box, and when everyone left, only my mother and Jingwen were always by my side, and they were also the motivation for my efforts so far.
It's late at night, but fortunately, I've finished my homework today, realized the meaning of what Long Ying said yesterday, and understood the rhythm of my previous mastery, so I think I should be able to make a smooth transition tonight.
Tired all day, I fell asleep on the bed, when I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the window, I was noisy, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly sat up, and saw that the dragon should be waiting for me outside the window.
This is obviously me begging someone to do something, why did he let him remind me, this is really rude!
I hurriedly rushed out of the wooden house, my clothes were not sorted out, and I quickly apologized, but Long Ying was expressionless, took the candle, and when I woke up, he closed the book, led the way ahead, and did not say a word.
It seems that I'm angry, I'm also angry, and I have to be chased after others to learn, which is really out of proportion.
When I got to the open space of the "towering tree" again, I consciously stood in the position where I would have stood two days ago.
"Did you realize?" asked Long Ying.
"I realized, I'm sorry, Master Long.." Before I could finish speaking, he motioned for me not to continue.
"Tell me about it. Long Ying still spoke so concisely.
"What I realized was that there was something wrong with the rhythm I was using to control the technique, and I was too fast, so that when all the states were not full, I had already used the last trick, so there was a big difference in the quality. I realized the word 'slow', and I don't know if it's right or wrong?" I said.
I said that I was in a hurry, mainly because my heart was relatively weak when I came, but I still roughly expressed what I wanted to say.
"Yes, only 'slow' can be 'stable', if you blindly only seek results, then there is no need to cultivate Taoism, because if you cultivate, you will cultivate in vain, and in the end it will be just a paper tiger, with a weak shape, and there is nothing to see. But since you want to cultivate the Tao, you still need to use it to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, then you must understand the importance of the process, not the result, and know how to control it, which is much more useful than knowing stronger tricks, which are not something that your academy can teach. Long Ying said.
Listening to his tone, but very recognized, it seems that I am not mistaken, after this time, I must thank Huang Lao for helping in secret.
From this, I also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Master Long, for teaching." ”
"Let's rehearse. Long Ying said.
So, I calmed down first, and according to the method I practiced during the day yesterday, I practiced the "fire control technique" in a "slow" way.
Unexpectedly, he saw Long Ying's disappointed expression, but he still took notes with his pen seriously.
What did I do wrong? Wasn't it "slow"?Why was I so disappointed....
