Wang Ling walked up to the Xuankong Daoist and curtsied:

"Thank you for your help!"

Turning to the little girl, another salute:

"Thank you, little sister!"

The girl had never been treated with such courtesy, and her little face was flushed, and she didn't know what to say.

"This girl, I see you using the Huashan Sword Technique, may I ask what is your relationship with the Huashan Sect?" The Taoist chief asked.

"Hui Dao Chief, Zhan Yunfei, the head of the Huashan faction, is the little female master."

"Haha, it turned out to be a family. He told you that he didn't mention that there was a senior brother? ”

"He once said that there was a senior brother named Lu Yunpeng, but later the old man became a monk and entered the Tao." Wang Ling replied.

The Taoist chief stroked his beard that was blown by the wind, and said with a smile:

"I am Lu Yunpeng, and I have been away from Huashan for more than 30 years."

Wang Ling hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:

"Apprentice Wang Ling visits his uncle!"

"Okay, please get up. Rong'er, come and meet your senior sister! ”

When the girl heard that Wang Ling was her senior sister, she was very happy, and bowed her head and made a blessing ceremony:

"Rong'er, see Senior Sister!" Although he is not very old, he does bow well.

Wang Ling hurriedly returned the gift:

"Hello junior sister!"

Rong'er fluttered her big eyes:

"Senior sister, your martial arts are so powerful, if you were to change to me, I guess I wouldn't be able to last a few rounds."

Wang Ling smiled:

"Besides, if it weren't for Uncle Shi and you today, I would have been defeated by him."

At this time, Cao Cuizhu also came to meet the Taoist chief as a junior:

"The little girl Cao Cuizhu visited the Taoist."

Wang Ling introduced:

"This is Miss Cao, the daughter of Lord Cao, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol."

"Oh, Lord Cao is honest and honest, famous all over the world, and admired by the people!" The Taoist chief praised.

Wang Ling once indirectly heard people tell the story between the master and this uncle.

It is said that the relationship between the two brothers has always been very good, and the senior brother Lu Yunpeng has a cheerful personality and does things very aggressively.

The younger brother Zhanyun flew steadily, which was appreciated by the master.

Master had a daughter who married his younger brother Zhan Yunfei, and later the master passed on the position of head to him when he was dying.

Senior brother Lu Yunpeng felt that the master was biased, because Zhan Yunfei was his son-in-law, so where did he put this senior brother?

In a fit of rage, he left Huashan, became a monk, and never came back again.

Thinking of this, Wang Ling asked:

"Excuse me, uncle, where is the cultivation now?"

"Poor Dao is stationed in a small Taoist temple in Wangwu Mountain, and the name of the Taoist temple is 'Yangxinguan'."

Wang Ling said in his heart, that name is just right for your heart.

"Wangwushan is thousands of miles away from here, why did the senior uncle and junior sister come here?"

The Taoist chief looked at Rong'er and said:

"Ten years ago, a middle-aged couple and a two- or three-year-old girl passed by the shore of Hongze Lake and encountered a group of robbers. The man was a martial artist and fought bravely against the bandits. However, the robbers were outnumbered, and although two of them were killed by the man, he and his wife were also seriously injured. That day, the poor road happened to pass by and drove away the thieves. The couple was so badly injured that they were dying. The man laboriously took out a bronze medal, and before he could say a word, the couple left for the west. As he spoke, he took out a square bronze medal from his bosom.

"This girl has been with me ever since, and she is Rong'er. Because his parents left in a hurry, their identity and origin became a mystery, and they didn't even know Rong'er's surname. I also searched all over the country, trying to find clues about their origins. Unfortunately, nothing came of it. The only thing that is connected to her now is this bronze medal. The Taoist chief said, handing the bronze medal to Wang Ling.

The bronze medal is engraved with complex patterns, with a "Ying" character engraved in the middle of one side and a tiger head engraved in the middle of one side.

The Taoist chief said again:

"Rong'er practiced swords during the day and studied at night, and after ten years, she has grown into a big girl, and she can't always follow me. This time, I took Rong'er out, firstly, to help her find her parents' background again, and secondly, to take the opportunity to let her get in touch with the outside world. Speaking of this, he pulled Rong'er to his side and asked Wang Ling:

"May I ask my niece, where does your family live?"

"Back to my uncle, my niece's family lives near the Forbidden City in the capital, and now she is on an errand in Dongchang, and Wang An, the factory supervisor, is the niece's father-in-law."

Hearing that Wang Ling had such a big background, the Taoist chief was overjoyed:

"I happened to meet my niece today, and she is also Rong'er's creation. I want to entrust her to you, and you will treat her as your own sister from now on. His swordsmanship has been able to rank among the first-class masters, but because he is still young and lacks strength, his niece will need more teaching in the future. ”

Because the Xuankong Daoist is Wang Ling's uncle, the words of the elders must be followed, and there is no room for negotiation.

I was accepted as a righteous daughter by the prince since I was a child, I have no brothers and sisters, and I have an extra sister in the future, isn't it worth being happy? Besides, I like this little girl very much.

She stretched out her hand and took Rong'er into her arms, bowed her head and said to Rong'er:

"Sister, you can follow me in the future, my sister will take good care of you!"

With tears in her eyes, Rong'er looked at the Xuankong Daoist and then at Wang Ling, and seemed to be extremely reluctant to the Daoist in her heart.

The Taoist chief's eyes were also a little red, he unsheathed the sword on his back, put on the sword for Rong'er, and said softly:

"Rong'er will study with her sister in the future, listen to her sister's words, and Master will often visit you. Also, be sure to keep the bronze medal away, you may be able to find out where your parents came from. ”

Rong'er couldn't hold back any longer, crying out with "wow", hugging the Taoist and reluctant to let go.

The Taoist reached out and wiped his eyes, patted Rong'er's shoulder, and didn't speak for a long time.

Although they are not father and daughter, their relationship is better than that of father and daughter.

Wang Ling and Cao Cuizhu were a little moved when they saw them say goodbye.

After a long time, the Taoist chief handed Rong'er's little hand to Wang Ling:

"I'm leaving, I'm sorry for you!" After speaking, he glanced at Rong'er again and turned away.

The bird has grown up and will eventually leave the nest.

Even if there is reluctance, you always have to face parting.

Wang Ling and Cao Cuizhu brought back a smart and clever little girl, and everyone liked it very much and amused her.

Rong'er lives in the mountains all the year round and rarely sees outsiders, but now there are so many people playing at once, and she is very happy.

Wang Ling briefly told Du Wenlin about Rong'er's life experience. Then he talked about the fight with Wei Dongqing in Yanziji today.

When it came to Xiaoqing and Wei Dongqing together, Du Wenlin frowned.

He knew Xiaoqing's origin, belonged to the Ji family near Yanziji, and belonged to the "Future Star" in the "Night Clan" with Wei Dongqing, and Wei Dongqing belonged to the Ying family, I don't know how they got together.

If the two families surnamed Ji and the surname Ying join forces, it will be really troublesome.

You can find the residence of the family surnamed Yanzi Isoji through Sanniang, but what can you do? You can't rashly accuse the little girl of associating with Wei Dongqing, right? In that case, wouldn't it be an active enemy?

The three brothers, Wei Dongqing and Ying, are all "Red Confessional" disciples, and they are fugitive criminals who can be hunted down.

But if the family surnamed Ji is also involved, things become complicated.

If Sanniang is here, she may be able to help think of a perfect solution.

Unfortunately, I don't know where she is.

The murder case of Hu Jinsheng has been basically solved, the presiding officers Kim Changshun and Kim Fu have both died, and most of their followers have been arrested except for a few who are at large.

Changzhou rudder, extremely subordinate Wuxi, Nanjing, Jiaxing, Xuancheng four altars were knocked out.

Therefore, this mission is basically completed, and it is time to return to Beijing to resume his life.

Du Wenlin came to the backyard and saw Cao Cuizhu talking with his mother under a hibiscus tree with branches like a cover and red trees, so he walked over:

"Mother is good, Cuizhu is good!"

Seeing that it was Du Wenlin who arrived, Mrs. Cao stood up first, her expression twisted, and she said very unnaturally:

"Uncle is here, Cuizhu, you talk to your uncle, I'll go inside and tell the cook to prepare lunch."

Through this life and death incident, she admired Du Wenlin's ability from the bottom of her heart. However, he also developed a fear of him and tried his best to avoid him.

"Cuizhu, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow to resume my life." Du Wenlin looked at Cuizhu's eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say.

Cuizhu is full of melancholy, just got together, and wants to part, depending on the feelings, where can words express?

With tears in his eyes, he looked at his lover silently, only hoping to express his infinite love with his eyes.

Du Wenlin was also sad:

"I promised you to get married after you have a stable job, but it took half a year to delay. As soon as he stepped into his career, he spent all day long, and he didn't know when he would settle down. The words were full of apologies.

Cuizhu said softly:

"As long as you are safe, it is my greatest happiness! The ancients said that if the two love for a long time, how can they be in the morning and twilight. The husband is the world's cherish, and the career is the most important, how can he be burdened by the personal feelings of his children? ”

The more she said this, the more uncomfortable Liu Wenlin's heart became, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Ignoring the eyes of everyone around him, he stretched out his arms and hugged Cuizhu's shoulders tightly.

After lunch, Mrs. Cao and Cuizhu exited the living room, leaving only Governor Cao and Du Wenlin in the room.

"Dad, we will return to Beijing tomorrow to resume our lives, there is still a lot of unfinished work here, and you need to supervise the completion of the government below. The first is to pursue the fugitive criminals as soon as possible, and the second is to report to the imperial court and request that the detainees be dealt with. Because of the large number of personnel and the wide range of involvement, the task is heavier. ”

"Well, you can go back with confidence, and I will take care of it here." Governor Cao replied.

"Also, the secret that my mother is teaching, although it has been controlled here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any chaos on the side of the main altar, and you have to be careful. If I have the opportunity, I will try my best to eliminate the danger, and at the moment I can only take one step at a time. At the same time, you also have to be mentally prepared, if this matter is stabbed to the court, it will definitely affect you. ”

Governor Cao sighed and was silent for a long time.

Du Wenlin took out a few porcelain vases from his arms:

"This is an antidote copied from Kim Chang Soon's house, and I wanted to distribute it to the prisoners, but there are so many people that it is a drop in the bucket, and it will not help. You accept it for the time being, and give your mother a life first. After I returned to Beijing, I hurried to find a way to make an antidote to the plight of these believers. ”

Governor Cao took the antidote:

"Thank you Wenlin! If you hadn't been in this situation, I don't know what would have happened to my family. Now it's finally under control for the time being. ”

Both understood that the dangerous fire had only temporarily controlled its spread, and had not been completely extinguished.

What about later?
