183 She owes willingly
"In your heart, how many masters can one person serve!" He asked with grief and indignation.
Chang Suining was also very helpless: "I didn't even know what that formation was for, how could I do nothing, just fantasize about waiting for others to come to my rescue?" β
For her, it is luck to have someone to help her, and it is the norm to save herself in danger.
Doing nothing is equivalent to sitting still, and she can't do this kind of thing and can't learn it.
Wu Ji was heartbroken: "Your subordinates can see that you have 800 hearts and eyes, and 799 of them are probably used on your subordinates!" β
Chang Suining smiled: "What's the matter, at most only one is used." β
Seeing that Wujie was still haunted by her previous doubts, she said seriously: "Think about it, I have no way of knowing what has happened to each of you in the past ten years, and I can't think about it, so I don't dare to believe it for a while...... At this time, you and I sit here, even if it is just a few simple words, and when I see you shed a few tears, don't I have all my suspicions? Isn't that still something to be trusted? β
Wu Jieyan's face softened slightly.
Then I heard the girl say: "And I am now such a person and a ghost, and it is no different from the evil in the world, and I will not be tolerated by the worldβeven if I want to save this little life, I should keep this secret tight, and I need to be more cautious and careful than before, what do you say?" β
The already bluffing dissatisfaction on Wuji's face was completely dissipated at this time.
He couldn't help but think of the example of the Western Regions that also resurrected his soul with this array a hundred years ago, but was burned to death as a demon.
His Highness's caution is right.
Suddenly experienced such a bizarre thing, Yu was still able to calmly face and accept everything in a daze, never tried to ask for help from others, and only groped his way to this day step by step, and there is probably only His Royal Highness.
And for him, the past ten years have been alive day by day, and everything is clear and true, including his thoughts and expectations for His Royal Highness...... But for His Royal Highness, it was more than ten years after she opened her eyes, and she had changed her identity, everything was so strange and absurd, how could she not be at a loss, not panic, and not be vigilant?
His Royal Highness is so difficult, he didn't give understanding and comfort, but he is still here to be petty, but he wants His Highness to coax him...... Hey, he's still human!
At this moment, I can't wait to scrape my ears, and said in a dumb voice: "Your Highness, you have suffered all the way......
This road home is not so easy to walk.
And the way home...... His Highness must have had a hard time.
Seeing him like this, Chang Suining knew that selling misery was effective, so he quietly relaxed - it was always easy to sell miserably with his own people.
But Wujie was really miserable by her, and couldn't help but ask at this moment: "How many years has Your Highness been in Beidi...... How are you doing? β
"It's okay." Chang Suining's tone was casual: "Beidi is open, the horse runs fast, and the sheep roast is very fragrant." β
Wuji was silent for a while, then held back his tears and said with a smile: "My subordinates are also very good at roasting mutton and making mutton soup...... His Royal Highness is now home, and he doesn't have to go to Beidi in the future, and he can eat fragrant roast mutton. β
Chang Suining looked at him amusedly and reminded, "But you are a monk now." β
Wu disagreed: "If you become a monk, you can return to the vulgar again." β
He was just a fake monk, and this Dayun Temple was not a serious temple, he stayed here as a monk just for the sake of that magic circle, and now that His Highness is back, he doesn't have to be a monk anymore.
said, I can't wait to roast the mutton now, roast it three, four or five, and give his Royal Highness a good solution to his hunger!
Chang Sui Ning was busy comforting and appeasing, signaling her to be a little calm, she was not so greedy, this mutton was not in a hurry to roast, and let the three or four or five sheep live longer.
Endless sighs.
It's not okay to be in a hurry, even if it's just to keep the saint from suspicious, he still has to stay in this Dayun Temple and continue to perform.
Chang Suining asked him some more about the Heavenly Maiden Tower, as if he wanted to ask everything in the tower clearly.
She suddenly realized: "Since it is the soul restoration array, and the formation is destroyed, I shouldn't have any three longs and two shorts when I turn around, right?" β
"What do you think, if that's the case, how can your subordinates agree to let Governor Cui go to destroy the formation? Rest assured, your soul is now stable, and the destruction of the formation will not hinder you. β
Chang Sui Ning calmed down: "Very good, if you destroy it like this, it will be ruined, and it will be better if you destroy it sooner." β
It also saves her from borrowing that formation to test her in the future.
"But the subordinates still have to try to repair the pile of junk in the dark passage when they go back, at least to make it look the same on the surface." Wu Ji pondered: "Otherwise, if the saint thinks of asking someone to go to the secret tunnel to check whether the formation is complete, it will be exposed." β
Chang Suining nodded: "Be prepared, you should deal with it carefully, and you will work hard." β
After asking about the formation, she was curious about another thing: "I saw that under the statue of the female that day, there was a jade box, which seemed to be very important, I don't know what kind of treasure was placed in that box?" β
Hearing her ask about this, Wu Ji was silent for a moment.
Chang Suining looked at him: "Is there anything you can't say?" β
"There...... Wu Ji was silent for a moment before he whispered, "It's your bones." β
Chang Suining: "...... What kind of treasure do I think I am? β
That's it.
Wu was never satisfied: "What is this, it is naturally the most precious thing in the entire Heavenly Maiden Tower!" β
Chang Sui Ning could only put away his contempt, thought of the not too big box, and said: "It's hard for you to find some to bring back, so I can be regarded as a fallen leaf and return to my roots." β
"It's the ...... that Lao Chang brought back" mentioned this old incident, and there was still suppressed grief and heartache in Wuji's tone: "Those brutes in Beidi...... That's why he disobeyed the oracle and insisted on cutting off the head of the beast khan with his own hands. β
After the beast killed himself in His Highness, he made people disassemble and destroy His Highness's body to vent his anger......
In the end, Lao Chang only found one of His Highness's bones.
Wu Jie did not and could not bear to say in detail, but Chang Suining was not difficult to imagine.
In other words, she was ready to kill the head coach of Beidi as early as when she decided to kill the boss.
Seeing that Wu Jue lowered her head and didn't speak, she said: "The two armies have not yet faced each other, and the other party has lost the commander first. Who is not born naked, not just grown from a small piece of flesh and blood, just skin and flesh, just flesh and bones, when he is born, he can make the best use of things, and he will always return to dust after death, how to return to the law is very different, don't care too much. β
Wu Ji still didn't speak for a while.
Then I heard the girl comfort: "And didn't I come back, you see, now I don't lack anything in my arms and legs." β
Wu Ji really raised his teary eyes and looked at her arms and legs.
The girl took out a soft handkerchief, handed it to him to wipe her tears, and said with a smile: "Wuji, thank you for taking me home." β
She said seriously: "I owe you my life. β
Wuji took the handkerchief embroidered with cranes, pressed the corners of his eyes, choked and sighed: "What do you owe, I am like a narrow river, Your Highness is the sea, if the sea does not exist, where should the river return......"
He said: "The narrow river can only survive forever if it returns to the sea. The sea never rejects the river, and the river can go to the sea, and the two are mutually fulfilling, so how to talk about owe and not owe. β
"It's too zen, I don't understand it." Chang Suining smiled and said, "It's better to owe it, I'm willing to owe you." β
She did not want to be indebted to the Empress Ming, for the debt was like a thorny net, which only trapped her without respite.
She is willing to owe everything, because this debt is the root of her reassurance, the bond that keeps her back rooted in this world.
Bonds and bonds are different, and in this life, she is fortunate to be bound only by kindness and sincerity.
Chang Sui Ning leaned over and gently hugged the person who said that he was a fake monk, but he was more like her savior Bodhisattva than any god-
She smiled again and said, "Just owe it." β
Wuji wiped his tears and smiled: "Since you sincerely want to owe, then your subordinates can accept it." β
"Well, take it." Chang Sui Ning let go of him.
Wu Ji smiled reservedly: "That subordinate has something to ask you......"
Chang Suining was very conscious of owing others, and said generously: "Just ask." β
"My subordinates remember that you buried a few jars of Fengzhi brew before, and you decided to drink it with your subordinates...... Where exactly is it buried? β
Chang Suining blinked his eyes: "This...... It seems to have been drunk by me. β
Wu Ji stood up suddenly: "When did you steal the drink?" β
"Before leaving for Beidi." Chang Suining smiled a little ashamedly: "At that time, I thought that I wouldn't have a chance to drink together, so I simply dug it out and drank it myself." β
She got drunk and slept all night under the almond blossom tree where the wine was buried.
Wuji's face was full of heartache, and he almost jumped to his feet: "My subordinates have been hungry for many years!" β
Chang Suining asked: "Why don't you go to find Ah Zeng to brew a few more jars?" β
Feng Zhi brewing can only be brewed by Yu Zeng.
"He's willing!" Wu Ji sighed: "Since you left, he refused to make wine anymore, and his subordinates almost knelt down and begged him." β
Chang Suining: "It's like always begging you to make mutton soup for him?" β
"Isn't it......" Wu Ji said, his eyes lit up: "But you are back now, he has to brew if he doesn't brew, and you can make up for a few altars of your subordinates alone!" β
Chang Suining fainted the smile on his face, but asked: "In the years since I left, have you seen anything unusual about Ah Zeng, and have you ever been involved with anyone worth mentioning?" β
Wu Ji was stunned when he heard it.
After thinking seriously for a moment, he shook his head slowly: "In fact, since His Highness left, his temperament has become increasingly cold, and he is on an errand in the palace, and he rarely goes out of the palace all year round, and his subordinates have a lot less contact with him, and they don't know much about him, but they haven't noticed anything abnormal." β
Among the four of them, plus Meng Lie who was in the shadows, there were five people in total, and the one who had the least contact over the years was Yu Zeng.
But......
"Why did Your Highness suddenly ask like this, could it be ......" Wu Ji looked at the girl who was still sitting on the ground.
"Before I killed Coach Beidi, I was already poisoned."
Wu Ji was shocked: "Your Highness, can you know who did it?" β
"It's jade shavings." Chang Sui Ning said: "She was instructed by others, she claimed that she was deceived by others, and the person who 'deceived' her was Ah Zeng, and she got a handwritten letter stamped with Ah Zeng's private seal back thenββ"
She roughly explained what the jade shavings had offered that night.
Wu Ji frowned: "This, how could he ......"
Chang Suining didn't sigh or denounce anything, but said: "The truth is not yet known, but he is in charge of Sigongtai at this time, doing things by the side of the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to investigate in detail, I have thought of many ways these days, but they are not very feasible." This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and you and I need to be more vigilant before we verify it. β
Now that she and Wu Jiyan have clarified their identities, then this matter must be shared, just like when fighting side by side, there is nothing to hide between colleagues.
Wu Jue nodded with a complicated expression: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will pay attention." β
Although he has not had much contact with Yu Zeng over the years, his former friendship has not diminished, and he never thought that the other party would betray His Royal Highness.
He could also better understand at this time why His Highness was so wary of him, an old man, in the first place......
Wu Ji let out a long sigh in his heart.
Chang Suining got up and patted the dust on his body.
"Second father, let's go out, brother should finish eating."
This "second father" made Wuji's legs tremble when he heard it: "Your Highness, how does this make ......?"
"If you are like my parents again, shouting at the second father is considered to have wronged you. And whether to make it or not, this play has to continue to be played, right? Chang Suining shouted again: "Second father, you have to get used to it." β
Wujie had to nod and smile extra reservedly: "Yes, you have to get used to it, then your subordinates...... I'll take advantage of this for the time being. β
The two of them went out of the secret way.
Chang Suian has eaten all the food on the table, and has never failed to live up to a grain of rice and a vegetable.
Seeing the two of them come out, Chang Sui'an stepped forward and couldn't help but be surprised: "Master Wuji, what's wrong with your eyes?" β
How do you look like you've cried?
How can you still talk about crying when you talk about the Dharma?
It can't be beaten by my sister, although my sister likes to beat people, but she can't do unfilial things to her elders if she doesn't agree with her.
Wu Ji sighed and rubbed his red and swollen eyes: "Fang Cai's eyes are gray." β
Chang Sui'an looked at it silently, and felt that it was swollen like this, and the ordinary ash was afraid that it would not be possible, and the starting point had to be into the bricks, and both eyes were not spared, and the bricks still needed to be stained with rain and dew.
Adults are always good-looking, and since the master doesn't want to admit that he cried, then he will pretend to believe it.
And thoughtfully suggested: "Then you have a good rest later, don't go out and walk around first." β
After all, this kind of talk is difficult to lie to people like him, let alone others.
Wu Jue nodded in response, as if his eyes hurt badly, he found a chair and sat down to rub his eyes.
The Chang brothers and sisters planned to leave.
"That's right." Before leaving, Chang Suining suddenly thought of what he saw when he came, so he asked: "Does the second father know which girl disappeared in the back mountain yesterday?" β
Ordinary people don't know, but the monks in the temple are involved in finding people, and as the abbot of the temple, they should know a little.
Since she became famous in Beijing, there are not a few noble ladies who are willing to surround her and treat each other with kindness, even if it is just out of concern, she should also inquire.
I only heard Wu Jian lower his voice and said, "It's the girl of the eldest grandson's family." β
Chang Sui Ning was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "...... of the eldest grandson's family Which girl? β
