Late at night, the backyard of a temple outside Gusu City was brightly lit, and a man wearing a half-white ghost mask and a monk were drinking in the pavilion.

The monk didn't look very old, he was in his early thirties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was extremely delicate, and if you looked closely, his eyes were somewhat similar to the man wearing a white ghost mask in front of him.

I only listened to the man in the white ghost mask; "Thank you very much this time, otherwise it would be troublesome."

"Do you have less trouble for me?" Monk Qingxiu glanced at him with a smile and continued; "But Lin Xiuquan is so good that he can hurt you to such an extent."

Lin Xiuquan in the mouth of the Qingxiu monk is the elder of the three clans of the Lin family.

Hearing this, Bai Ze Hades smiled awkwardly; "Well, that's true, but we're all doing things for the palace, so we should help each other."

"Did you save this mother and daughter on the orders of the hall master?" Monk Qingxiu asked rhetorically.

Seeing that Monk Qingxiu said this, Bai Ze Hades was also speechless for a while, it was indeed his own private matter that he saved Mrs. Lin's mother and daughter.

So I had to quickly divert the topic,

"If you want to say that the old ghost of the Lin family is really powerful, I estimate that his strength is not much different from those Dharma protectors."

Although he is not ashamed of Lin Xiuquan's actions, Bai Ze Hades admires Lin Xiuquan's martial arts very much, and he can at least rank in the top ten on the list of heroes in the world.

"When he came out of the customs, I saw him find Huang Gou's old guy to try his sword, and in my opinion, his swordsmanship is not far behind that of Sword Immortal Liu Qianshang." Monk Qingxiu said.

Huang Gou is the head of the Huangshan faction, and his martial arts are so high that he is also a rare opponent in the rivers and lakes.

"Can you compare with Liu Qianshang?"

Bai Ze Hades King was very surprised, and his face was incredulous.

In this way, if Lin Xiuquan's strength can be compared with Liu Qiansheng, then he and himself will not only release water, but also release a Pacific Ocean.

That's infuriating, isn't it?

He knows how powerful Liu Qianshang is, he was ordered to go to Beihai to do business before, because he was angry and Liu Qiansheng had a hand, but he didn't even take twenty moves under the hands of others.

Looking at Bai Ze's insulted expression, the beautiful monk smiled; "Actually, what I'm talking about is that his swordsmanship is about to catch up with Liu Qiansheng, but the overall strength is still far behind."

Hearing this, Bai Ze's face turned a little better, looked at the Qingxiu monk, and complained; "Next time you speak, can you change the word, let alone how much? I'll just say, if that old ghost can be as powerful as Liu Qiansheng, how can he let Lin Tianshu test the bottom of Liu Qiansheng? ”

"Uh, it's my fault!"

Monk Qingxiu was speechless, obviously Bai Ze Hades had a problem with his comprehension ability.

While the two were talking, a beautiful woman in the meditation room pushed the door open, and it was Mrs. Narin.

Due to the excessive depletion of her internal strength, and the fact that she was not lightly injured, she had only finished pranayama at this moment. However, although it was no longer a major problem, her face was still a little pale at the moment.

I saw her walk in front of Bai Ze Hades and bow deeply,

"Thank you Bai Ze Hades for saving my mother's life, my great kindness is beyond repayment, please accept my worship."

Then he will bow down again,

Seeing this, Bai Ze Hades King hurriedly supported her and said; "Madame doesn't have to care, she is also entrusted by others, it's okay."

Seriously, this Mrs. Lin is really good-looking, although she is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, she is extremely well maintained.

The body is plump, bumpy and convex, and her somewhat pale face at the moment, which makes people really want to feel pity.

As the saying goes, if you get a spring night in this hibiscus account, it is better than 100,000 merry ghosts under the peony skirt.

Uh, phew! How could I think that?

Coveting other people's wives, how is it different from Cao thief?

If this is seen by Ma, he won't give me a quality triple directly.

When Mrs. Lin heard Bai Ze's words, she was a little puzzled,

"Entrusted?"

But among the people he knows, it seems that no one knows Bai Ze Hades.

And to be able to invite Bai Ze Hades, this person's identity must not be simple.

"Could it be him?"

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Lin suddenly thought of someone.

But then she dispelled this idea again, that person was far away in Miao Jiang, how could he know that he was in trouble and came to save himself?

Seeing Mrs. Lin like this, Bai Ze Hades frowned slightly and asked; "Don't you know who asked me to save you?"

"Hmm!" Mrs. Lin nodded.

"Uh, that's it!"

Bai Ze Hades looked at Mrs. Lin and thought for a while, and was a little hesitant to tell him.

After a while, he decided to tell Mrs. Lin everything.

…………！

Said back to Changgong Yao's side,

After slaughtering the old and young in the cannibal valley that day, he rode a long horse and drove to Jinling Mansion.

As soon as I entered the boundary of Jinling, I saw that every household along the way hung up white silk scripture cloth, burned incense wax yellow money, and the people were wearing plain robes, a feeling of mourning.

Seeing this scene, Changgong Haruka thought to himself, "Isn't there an accident at home?" ”

Just as he was about to find someone to understand, a thin old man suddenly came out of the roadside, pulled him over, and said in a low voice; "Young man, you are so bold, now that His Majesty the Emperor has died, the King of Chu has ordered all the people of Jinling to wear plain clothes and keep filial piety, you dare to wear this glamorous robe to swagger through the market, you don't want to die.

Listen to me, and come with me to my house, and change your garments, so that you may not cause trouble. ”

Hearing that it wasn't an accident at home, Haruka Changgong's tense heartstrings also loosened and asked; "When the emperor died, why don't I know?"

He really didn't know the news of the emperor's death, and he hadn't heard anyone say anything about it all the way.

"We also received the order of filial piety from the Chu Wangfu this morning, so it should have been not long since we died." The lean old man explained, and then he continued; "Hey, you don't care when he died, anyway, you can't enter Jinling City if you dress like this, or listen to the old man's persuasion, it's not too late to change into clothes again."

Hearing this, Chang Gong Yao asked; "But there are no shops outside the city, how can I find a change of clothes?"

Seeing that the young man in front of him was obviously moved, the thin old man hurriedly said; "The old man has a few coarse cloth clothes at home, if you don't dislike it, go to my house and change them for you, so that it will be convenient for you to enter the city."

When he said this, the old man's face flashed with pain, and the conditions for coming to the house were very difficult.

"In that case, thank you uncle."

Chang Gong Yao didn't refuse, thinking to himself, just buy it for him later, and I can't let him suffer.

Seeing that Changgong Yao was still a knowledgeable person, the old man said calmly; "As long as you don't feel too shabby, the old man can't bear to see a young man like you who has not been deeply involved in the world suffer from disasters, so he reminded you."

"Old man Gaoyi." Haruka Changgong praised it.

"It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about." The lean old man waved his hand.

Not long after, Chang Gong Yao was taken to his home by this thin old man,

Three thatched huts, one dog and one duck, except for the necessities needed for life, there is nothing else in the house, which can be said to be the four walls of the house.

As soon as he got home, the old man hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets and found a set of clothes and handed them to Chang Gong Yao, asking him to change them quickly.

Chang Gong looked at it from afar, it was really tattered, but he didn't dislike it, he quickly took off the brocade robe on his body and replaced it with this coarse cloth robe.

Seeing Changgong Yao come out of the back room after changing his clothes, the lean old man also praised; "Childe is really a talent, and with this clothes, it looks extraordinary."

These words made Chang Gongyao speechless for a while, thinking; "This old man can't praise people, my brother is handsome, but it's strange that he can look good in this ragged clothes."

However, he still smiled and agreed; "The old man has a good reputation, but this dress just fits tightly."

After all, this old man's family is so poor, and it is extremely difficult to come up with a coarse cloth robe.

The thin old man looked at Chang Gongyao again and sighed; "Alas! It's a pity that the old man's hard life is gone, otherwise, it would be the same size as the son. ”

The words are full of nostalgia and sadness for seeing things, thinking about people and touching the scene.

"Are you the only one in the house?" Changgong Haruka heard his sad words and asked tentatively.

Hearing Chang Gong Yao ask, the old man sighed again,

"Yes, my wife left early, the old man still had a son under his knees, but he was born with a short life, and he left last month, and now the whole family, only me, a thin old man, lives in this world."

The lean old man said it sincerely, his eyes were hazy, and anyone who looked at it like this would feel pitiful.

So in the end, when the lean old man refused to accept it, Changgong Haruka forced himself to stuff the dozens of taels of silver and the clothes he brought with him to the poor old man, saying that it was his kind enough to repay him for saving himself.

The thin old man first refused to accept it in every possible way, but he couldn't stand Chang Gong Yao's forced send, and finally saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it gratefully.

In order to show his gratitude, the lean old man insisted on sending Changgong Yao to Jinling City.

But how could Chang Gong Yao endure it, naturally he refused, and finally came to Jinling City on a horse.

After sending Chang Gongyao away, the lean old man returned home, looked at the dozens of taels of silver on the table and the set of valuable brocade clothes, and sighed; "There are so many good people in this world!"

Just as he was sighing, an old woman and a young man came in at the door, the woman was an old woman, and the man was a young man of twenty-four or five years old.

The old woman came in and saw the white silver on the table, and smiled with joy, holding the silver and laughing; "Old man, we really met a good person today, and with so much money, you didn't cheat people, right?"

The old man hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, how can we be the kind of people who don't know how to repay their kindness, and they left him a horse?" ”

The old woman laughed; "That's right, you have a little conscience, but the next time you meet such a kind person, don't leave the horse for him, it's worth dozens of taels."

The son on the side nodded approvingly, agreeing with what his mother said.

"Let's go, son, let's go into the city to eat and drink spicy."

The old woman smiled and collected the money on the table, called her son, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stopped her,

"Old woman, why are you so impatient?"

The old woman, thinking that he was going to stay and continue to deceive, said solemnly; "Enough, old man, other people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if you want to see good, you will accept it, these money is enough for us to live for a year."

"Yes, yes, I mean there's still one at home." The old man smirked.

As he spoke, he took out a few gorgeous clothes and some silver taels from the back room.

If Chang Gong Yao found out, he was afraid that he would feel better, after all, he was not the first to be deceived.

In the end, the family of three, in laughter, went to Jinling City.

Let's say that this Changgong Yao changed into a coarse cloth and plain clothes, and rode his horse and whip to Jinling City.

Passing by the village market town, I heard a yellow-mouthed child singing; The whole city is dressed in plain clothes, and I am the only one who is ermine Qiu Green. The emperor will let him die if he dies, and I will sit in the court next year.

"Who taught you to sing such a rebellious ballad? Shut up. Hearing this ballad, Haruka Changgong was shocked and hurriedly stopped.

Looking at the coarse cloth clothes on his body, he secretly rejoiced; "It's a loss to that old man, otherwise he will really get into trouble."

Riding a horse into the city, Chang Gong Yao already had his own plans in his heart, this ballad must have been done by someone with a heart, wanting to splash the dirty water of the Chu Palace.

"But who could it be?"

For a while, Haruka Changgong couldn't figure it out.

However, since this person knew that he would enter the city in a mink coat of green, he must have known his whereabouts well.

Everything will be returned to the house, and then I will inquire slowly.

And the Chu Palace, at this time, is also in mourning,

Up and down the house, all wearing white silk and filial piety clothes, the hall is hung with the portrait of the late Chengxi Emperor Li Heng,

The incense case is arranged below for the emperor's sacrifice.

Since Changgong Haruka has returned, he naturally has to burn incense and worship before returning to his residence.

The courtyard where he lived was called "Chongmingyuan".

Taken from the meaning of the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty and the protection of the common people.

But he has always liked to be quiet, so there are only two servants in the courtyard, a man and a woman.

The man is the one who went to Tianque Mountain with him.

The female one is called Yingdong.

It was brought back by Changgong Longcheng when he went out to fight, and no one knows his true identity.

When she first came to the house, she was covered in dirt, and no yard was willing to take her in.

In the end, Changgong Yao saw her pitiful, so he took her back to Chongming Courtyard to be a maid for herself, and it has been more than ten years since then, but she has become a slim girl.

"Young Master, you're back."

As soon as Haruka Changgong entered the door, Yingdong, who was cleaning the yard, saw him.

"Uh-huh, I'm back." Chang Gong replied.

Looking at his young master's tattered clothes, Ying Dong first frowned and said; "Young Master, did you just come out of that beggar's den? How did you wear such a tattered outfit. ”

Watching the little girl make fun of herself, Changgong said; "It's not a, it saved my life, at least it's worth a thousand taels."

Yingdong joked with a smile; "I saved your life, you won't tell me that it took someone beating for you, otherwise how could it break like this?"

She really couldn't think of how a piece of torn clothes could be worth a thousand gold, and how it could save people's lives.

Chang Gong Yao nodded, "Almost, I'll change it in a while, and you can help me clean it." ”

"Oooh!" Yingdong responded,

Although she didn't know why the young master would treat a ragged dress as a treasure, the young master gave the order and naturally wanted to do it.

Changgong Yao didn't explain to Yingdong in detail, and told her to boil hot water, then went back to the room to get a set of clothes and went to the bathing room to take a bath.

After going for so long, he hasn't taken a good bath for a long time, and when he returns home, he naturally has to wash off the dust and dust of his body first.
