Su Huazhao came back to Dongzhou this time, and only brought two personal maids Narcissus and Tao Yao, Tao Yao had just been sent out by her to inquire about the news, and now Narcissus stayed with her.

She took Narcissus on foot all the way to Hanshan Temple in the north of the capital.

The two girls wore hats, the long veils of which covered their upper bodies, revealing only the fluttering skirts to evoke reverie.

Hanshan Temple is the place where the relatives of the Emperor of Dongzhou, dignitaries and dignitaries often come, the true qi and aura have just appeared for only two hundred years, they are only because they are stronger than the internal force in the ancient books, thus changing the rules of the mainland to a certain extent, but some other aspects of people's thinking are still deep-rooted.

For example, people still come to the temple to worship the Buddha during the New Year's holidays, donate some incense money, and believe in some ghosts and gods.

"Girl, it's the first time I've seen so many people in the temple." Different from Tao Yao's playfulness, Narcissus was more stable and dignified in a white dress, she stood respectfully beside Su Huazhao, and said with a smile.

Narcissus is a native of the Central Empire, in the Central Empire, everyone does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but believes that they can cultivate to become a great achievement and rank in the immortal class, so the temples left over from ancient times have become decorations.

Su Huazhao beckoned a little novice to lead the way, and the little novice saw that Su Huazhao and Narcissus were dressed plainly, and they seemed to be the masters who couldn't afford to give a reward, so they didn't want to come over at first, until Narcissus shouted: "Hurry up!" He was frightened and reluctantly walked over.

Xiao Shami looked no more than ten years old, with a few dots on his round bald head, looking cute and cute.

Without Su Huazhao personally opening his mouth, Narcissus took out two weighty silver ingots and threw them to the little novice, who smiled when he saw that he had money.

"Nobleman, but do you want the poor monk to lead the way?" Xiao Shami smiled.

is also a poor monk, what you monk has done is not poor at all.

Under the cover of the hat, Su Huazhao was a little speechless at the speed of Xiao Shami's face change, and pursed the corners of his lips quietly, "Little Daoist, do you know where Jiang Panwan, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, is, she and I agreed to meet in Hanshan Temple today." ”

Miss Jiang? When Xiao Shami heard this, his face changed again and again, and he suddenly asked in a panic, "Are you talking about Mrs. Wu'an Houxian?" ”

Su Huazhao's heart sank, "Mrs. Xian? ”

She also received a letter from Jiang Panwan three days ago, could it be that it was just these two days......

"Right...... Yes, it has been a year since Mrs. Wu'an Hou Xian died. Xiao Shami didn't expect Su Huazhao to not know about this, and it was strange, if the girl in front of her didn't know that Mrs. Jiang had died, why did she come to the temple to worship her?

One year ...... How could it be.

Su Huazhao, who has always been smiling and moody, has rarely shaded her face for many years, and there is a hint of wind and rain in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down again, her expression was faint, "Little Daoyou, you may tell me about the eldest lady of the Jiang family?" ”

Xiao Shami behaved very embarrassed, "Marquis Wu Anhou is not the same as in the past, he does not allow others to talk about his first wife. ”

Su Huazhao directly took off a jade bracelet with ice seeds floating flowers from his wrist and handed it to Xiao Shami, this bracelet is in good condition, and the silver sold at the pawnshop in exchange for at least half a year can provide him with food and drink without worry.

"It is rumored in the capital that Mrs. Hou Xian of Wu'an was killed by someone!" Xiao Shami held the bracelet and watched it in the sunlight for a long time, quickly wiped it with his sleeve, carefully put it into the robe, and then released a bombshell news to Su Huazhao.

How can it be? When he said this, Su Huazhao didn't believe it at all, with Jiang Panwan's cultivation, not to mention fighting all over Dongzhou, at least it was no problem to escape alive.

Until now, Su Huazhao still felt that Jiang Panwan was still alive, but he might be hiding somewhere, and he couldn't believe it: "Please also ask the little Taoist friend to tell me in detail." ”

This little novice is really good at taking money, and on the way to worship Jiang Panwan, he explained all the ins and outs to Su Huazhao clearly.

He said that the eldest lady of the Jiang family was not favored in the Jiang family, and was tortured by her stepmother, and almost lost the good marriage set by her biological mother, and she went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before marrying into the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and the Wu Anhou was very good to her.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, a noble man came to Dongzhou, and the noble man originally came to Zhou Yu, but in the end he fell in love with Wu'anhou, it was that nobleman who killed Wu'anhou Chen Zimo and Jiang Panwan's young son, and killed Jiang Panwan.

"What nobleman?" The leaves rustled in the wind, and Su Huazhao's nails sank in the palms of his hands, and he asked lightly.

"It is said that he came from the Central Empire, and after he came, he has been living in the palace and has been regarded as a guest." Xiao Shami lowered his voice to the lowest and said, he also kindly admonished Su Huazhao, "This young lady, I see that you have a generous hand and an extraordinary bearing, you should not be an ordinary girl, but you should not be in charge of this matter, this matter...... Looking at the entire Kyushu continent, few people can manage it. ”

Along the way, I walked to the ancestral hall dedicated to Jiang Panwan's tablet, saying that it was an ancestral hall, but it was a remote and clean courtyard in Hanshan Temple, and even the stone bench was spotless after entering, and someone should come to clean it regularly.

Xiao Shami completed the task of guiding the way and left satisfied, Su Huazhao let Narcissus wait in the courtyard, and entered the house alone.

This is just a boxy hut, with an unobstructed view, and directly facing the gate is Jiang Panwan's tablet, with fresh fruits in front of the row, and the house is filled with incense.

Su Huazhao looked at the lifeless wooden sign in front of him, which was engraved with the name of his best friend, and suddenly felt flustered.

She was congenitally deficient, and her body and bones have always been weak, but she has the support of aura...... Now that I've just climbed a mountainside, why am I so tired that I can't straighten my waist? In the old house where there was not much light, Su Huazhao's complexion was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and she lazily knelt on the futon in front of the tablet, bending slightly.

It wasn't until the shadow of the sun was slanting to the west and there was a whispered scolding from Narcissus outside the house that Su Huazhao shook his head.

"Who are you?" Narcissus held a sword against the neck of the comer, afraid of disturbing the master of the house, so he had to ask in a low voice.

Kneeling on the ground, the man who was beaten by Narcissus and was helpless to fight back, his neck tilted, his eyes glaring out with anger.

The old wooden door of the room was pushed open by Su Huazhao, making a creaking sound, her rare face lost her smile, and her voice had the majesty of a superior person, "What's wrong?" ”

"Girl, this person just wanted to go in." Narcissus said calmly.

Su Huazhao looked at the man in front of him who was reckless, wearing dirty coarse cloth clothes and a scruffy beard, "What do you want to say?" ”

Zhao Yi, who was forced to kneel on the ground, stared at Su Huazhao's face, her eyes were a little trance, she really looked like the eldest lady.

But the words and deeds of the girl in front of her are full of nobility and the grace of the superior, although the dress is plain, the materials are excellent, and even the patterns on the embroidered shoes are extremely exquisite, obviously not the master she once was.

It's two almost identical faces, but they can tell the difference at a glance.

If Miss Jiang is a weed with tenacious vitality and unyielding, then the girl in front of her is more like fragile precious porcelain, like a cloud that cannot be reached in the sky.

"Under Zhao Yi, it was Miss Jiang's subordinate." Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and said.

He, Zhao Yi, is also the leading master in the rivers and lakes, and now he is being held against a sword by a girl, which is a great shame.

"What are you doing here?" Su Huazhao nodded casually, sitting on the stone bench in front of him, the weather in early spring was cool, and the stone bench was also cold, in the past, Su Huazhao would rather stand than sit on this stone bench, but today she was extremely tired.

"It was Miss Jiang who instructed me before she died, so that I would wait for you in Hanshan Temple a year later. The letter you received before was also sent by Miss Jiang on a regular basis, and she said that you would be unhappy if you couldn't receive her heart. As soon as Zhao Yi thought of his deceased master, a dignified eight-foot man turned red.

At Su Huazhao's signal, Narcissus let go of Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi took out an account book and a letter from his pocket and handed it to Su Huazhao: "The eldest lady also said that if anything happens to her, let me wait for you here, if not, take her portrait to Nanhe and find someone who looks exactly like her." ”

The narcissus next to him was a little surprised, did this Miss Jiang family look exactly the same as her own girl?

Su Huazhao took the account book, and the book was densely filled with Jiang Panwan's business income in the past few years, and his eyes were red unconsciously. She was not used to being embarrassed in front of others, so she had to stop looking over her head and ask: "Why, the five-year contract between Jiang Panwan and me was to ask me to inherit the inheritance?" ”

"How do you talk!" When Zhao Yi heard Su Huazhao say this, he felt that she was defiling the soul, so he wanted to rush over and take the account book back, but was stopped by Narcissus.

Su Huazhao was silent for a moment, tried his best to suppress the tumbling emotions in his heart, and didn't rush to read the letter left by Su Huazhao, but just put the letter away on his body.

"Jiang Panwan, how did you die?" The air was quiet for a long time, and Su Huazhao lowered his eyes and asked softly.

"Miss, Miss, she was tortured and toyed to death...... Yes! It's all my fault, blame me for not being capable, and I can't protect the eldest lady......" Jiang Panwan's death obviously stimulated Zhao Yi.

No, to be precise, it was Jiang Panwan's death that stimulated Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi looked at Su Huazhao, and then at the narcissus who was guarding her side and cultivated to a high level, and suddenly knocked his head the stone brick ground, and after a while, his forehead was scarlet, "This girl, when my eldest lady is in danger, she doesn't forget to let me send you letters regularly, I know, you must be very good friends." ”

"Can you avenge our eldest lady? You must be the daughter of a big family, I know that this girl next to you is really strong, can you let her kill the person who killed the eldest lady! Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with hope.

He had just fought with Narcissus, and although he had failed miserably, he found out that Narcissus's cultivation was extremely profound, and if she was willing, she might really be able to avenge the eldest lady.

"I will naturally take revenge for Jiang Pan." On the stone bench, a little girl in a plain dress is condescending, with a kind of oppression and danger from a person in a high position.

When Zhao Yi heard this, a tough guy's tears flowed out directly, and he treated her like a life-saving straw, "If you can avenge the eldest lady, I, Zhao Yi, will be a cow and a horse for you in this life, and thank you for your kindness." The matter ...... We must plan this matter thoroughly, the person who killed the eldest lady has a big background. ”

"Do you know who she is?" Su Huazhao raised his eyes and asked.

"I don't know, I just know that that person came to Dongzhou, and the prince personally went to the border to welcome him back." Zhao Yi shook his head in shame, he was just a grass man, the master who had the grace to save his life died, not only was he unable to take revenge, but he couldn't even find out who the enemy was.

Su Huazhao asked Narcissus to contact the forces of the Central Empire in Dongzhou, telling them to protect Zhao Yi first to ensure that nothing went wrong.
