"Your master is also quite famous in Zhao Kingdom, I thought that inviting him out of the mountain this time could end this matter, but I never thought that it would end like this. ”

Zhao Shisong led the way in front and said with a regretful face.

"But you don't have to be afraid, my house may just be cold and cloudy, and my wife is weak and accidentally contracted the disease, so it should be fine. ”

Ning Changchang nodded and said, "Master has been immersed in this Tao all his life, and finally died because of it, which can be regarded as a good death in a sense." ”

Zhao Shisong never thought that this young man was so open-minded, laughed a few times, and said approvingly: "If it goes well in the future, you must be able to come out of the blue." ”

Ning Chang said: "Thank you." ”

Ning Xiaoling walked silently with her head bowed on the side.

Zhao Shisong glanced at her, and only felt that this little girl was delicate and cute, but there was always a cold and cold meaning between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but want to tease a few words: "Little girl, how old is this year, how many years have you been studying art with your master?"

Ning Xiaoling said honestly: "At the age of fourteen, I have been cultivating with my master for three years. ”

Zhao Shisong nodded and said, "I see that you have quite a lot of wisdom, and you should have learned a lot over the years, right?"

Ning Xiaoling cursed Ning Baoshui a few words in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Not really, cultivation always needs years to accumulate." ”

"The little girl is modest. ”

"Mr. Zhao has won the award. ”

Zhao Shisong's mansion was not far away, and he arrived between conversations.

A carriage was parked at the entrance of the mansion, and a wandering Taoist with a yellow talisman on his forehead was leaning forward and backwards, chanting words in his mouth.

"This recipe has been tried and tested in the past, but what's wrong with it now? Could it be that I'm also evil?"

When the Taoist priest saw Zhao Shisong coming back, he immediately stood still, bowed with his fists, and said apologetically: "Lord Prince, forgive Xiaodao for being incompetent, Mrs. Zun's illness Xiaodao really can't understand, it seems to be evil and not evil, like a demon is not a demon, and it is sad and sad." ”

Zhao Shisong sighed and said, "It's okay, take the money and go home." ”

The Taoist priest of You Fang answered, and only then did he notice that Zhao Shisong was followed by two "little dots" wearing Taoist robes.

The man's face was slightly strange, and he said strangely: "You guys are also doing this?"

Ning Chang asked, "Something?"

The Taoist priest walked around them twice with broken steps, shook his head, and said, "Miaozi is a good seedling, but listen to the advice of the seniors, go back, don't waste your efforts." ”

Ning Jiu ignored him, just looked at Zhao Shisong, and said, "Please Mr. Zhao lead the way." ”

The morale was so angry that his cheeks flushed, and he jumped to his feet and said: "Those who do our business in this imperial city, I don't say that we can rank in the top five, I persuade you with such good words, you don't listen!"

Ning Changjiu ignored him, Zhao Shisong was dissatisfied with the appearance of the Taoist priest, waved his hand casually at this moment, and led Ning Changjiu towards the mansion.

After not taking a few steps, the Taoist priest turned his head and followed.

Ning Xiaoling was naturally a little tired of him, and frowned and said, "Stinky Daoist, what are you doing here?"

The Taoist morale puffed up and said: "I'll just watch from the sidelines, don't bother, I just want to open my eyes and see what means you have, you dare to hold up so much at such a young age." ”

Ning Xiaoling raised her eyebrows, and was about to refute a few words, but Ning Changjiu said directly: "It's okay, let him be." ”

......

Through the courtyard and corridor, in the antique courtyard, the sound of coughing came from afar.

The maid standing at the door saw Zhao Shisong coming back, and after calling out to the master, she got out of the way.

The stove in the house, the temperature is comfortable, a young woman is lying on her side, the woman's cheeks are slightly white, her eyes are half-closed, she covers her chest and coughs from time to time, her expression is very good, quite beautiful.

Ning Xiaoling thought that she would be a dignified and virtuous lady, but she didn't expect to be so young and beautiful, she looked about twenty years old, and she didn't know how many wives she was.

When the woman saw Zhao Shisong, her hand was on the brocade, and she wanted to get up and salute, but Zhao Shisong hurriedly ran to her side, held her hand, and comforted her.

The woman glanced at this side, frowned, and said, "Didn't that Taoist priest just leave, why did he come again, I don't think he has much ability, and it's annoying to go around here." ”

"You ......" The wandering Daoist took a deep breath and sighed, "Madame said yes." ”

Then she looked at the two unfamiliar faces, and smiled weakly: "This little Taoist priest has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he can be a little happier when he looks at it." ”

For her compliment, Ning Chang did not respond.

He looked around, his gaze over the top of the high beams, as if looking for something.

The man looked at him with interest, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Ning Changjiu's hand reached into his sleeve and touched it, but he didn't take anything out.

Seeing this, the Daoist couldn't help laughing: "What, did you forget to bring the talisman paper? Why don't you borrow a few of them?"

The woman on the couch couldn't help frowning, Zhao Shisong hurriedly glared at him, and the man stopped laughing when he saw this.

I never thought that Ning Changjiu would really spread out his hand: "Just lend me a copper coin." ”

"Copper coins?" the Taoist frowned: "You kid are teasing Xiaodao?"

Ning Chang spread his hands.

The Taoist looked at the eyes of the people around him, sighed, untied the money bag, took out a copper coin and threw it over.

Ning Chang took the copper coin, placed it on the small wooden cabinet in front of the woman, and after a while, said, "It's okay." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Okay? What can be?

The man couldn't help but laugh: "You are all fools when we are?"

Zhao Shisong was about to speak, but when he saw the copper coin on the wooden cabinet split into three halves, his mouth was half open, and he looked at Ning Changchang in surprise.

Ning Changchang looked at the young woman on the couch calmly and asked:

"Are you feeling better?"

The woman glanced at the copper coin, chuckled, and was about to shake her head, but after meeting his gaze, she only felt that the spiritual platform was stiff and cold by the cold winter wind.

After a while, the smile on the woman's face reappeared, "Hey, I really feel better, my body is lighter." ”

Zhao Shisong was overjoyed when he saw that her complexion had really improved, and his eyes looked at Ning Changchang even kinder: "I used to think that it was just a joke to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, but today I saw the little Taoist and found that it was really extraordinary, and Zhao didn't know how to thank him." ”

Ning Changchang said: "My junior sister and I have nowhere to go. ”

Zhao Shisong hurriedly said: "Come on, clean the room, and arrange for the Taoist chief to live temporarily." ”

The man was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what was going on: "This ...... Are you guys playing tricks on me?"

Zhao Shisong was even more lazy at the moment, and waved his sleeves directly: "Send off." ”

"Hey, I ......" the man jumped to his feet in anger: "My copper coin!"

Ning Chang said: "I owe it." ”

......

Three watches in the middle of the night.

The young woman awoke from the couch, lifted the curtains, stretched lazily, and reached for her long hair draped over her shoulders.

She turned her head slowly, and was about to light the lamp, when suddenly she exclaimed, holding her heart in her hands, with a look of horror.

In the dim room, next to an ancient wooden table, a figure sat faintly.

"Don't pretend. The voice spoke, and the candle was lit.

"You...... Is it you?" the woman's chest rose and fell, and she said angrily: "You little Taoist, I see you handsome during the day, and when you are a good person, what do you want to do when you break into my boudoir in the middle of the night? You go out now, or I will call someone!"

Ning Chang turned his chair and looked at her calmly: "Tell me about your young lady." ”

"Miss?" the woman grabbed by her collar, "what nonsense are you asking?

Ning Chang said: "These days, you are lying in bed and pretending to be sick, you shouldn't be able to go out, I have seen your young lady during the day, let me tell you about her." ”

The woman stared at him faintly, and then sneered: "You men, old and young, are all the same, you have all broken here, and you are pretending to be serious with your sister, hey, do you cure me for me, and ask me to promise you, if the master hears it, he will definitely beat you out." ”

Ning Chang asked, "Don't you want to hear it?"

The woman laughed and said, "You little Taoist priest is unreasonable, come, I'll listen, who is my master?"

Ning Chang said: "She has a lot of chess pieces in the city, but in a hurry, it shouldn't be easy for all parties to coordinate and transmit messages, you shouldn't have received a letter from your master for several days." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you're saying." ”

Ning Changjiu continued: "Because she was also seriously injured, and I think about it, so many people want to kill her, how can she really get out of the way." ”

The woman looked at the young man who was separated by the light, and her expression was resentful: "You come...... You just want to talk to me about these nonsense things?"

Ning Chang said: "I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest, I haven't determined my position yet, and every word you say next may affect me." ”

The woman's eyes twitched, then calmed down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen an ordinary Taoist priest who broke into the woman's room. ”

Ning Jiu didn't answer, just looked at her quietly, and the woman suddenly felt that what was sitting in front of her seemed to be not a person, but a ghost with no temperature.

She gradually withdrew her smile: "Ordinary Taoist priest, then what are you doing in the imperial city? Don't fool me with anything like doing things for the heavens." ”

Ning Chang said: "I don't need to explain to you, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I have the ability to protect myself, and naturally I have the ability to intervene." ”

"Huh, that's not a small tone. The woman looked at the young man sitting quietly in front of her, and her breathing couldn't help but slow down.

Ning Chang said: "Just tell me the simplest story of your young lady, you don't need to betray anything." ”

"The easiest?"

"Well, like her name, like what happened three years ago. ”

Her name, three years ago?

You still go to great lengths to scare me about this kind of thing? Who doesn't know if anyone in the palace asks? Is it me stupid or are you stupid?

The woman froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Ning Chang thought she didn't want to say it, so she was too lazy to talk nonsense.

A golden hairpin stopped from the dresser at some point, swept in front of the woman with a loud sound, and almost touched the tip of her nose.

The woman's throat stirred, and she swallowed carefully, not daring to move.

"Are you tempting me?" the woman still refused.

"It's not. Ning sat quietly for a long time waiting for her to answer, he raised his hand, and a deadly killing intent suddenly emanated from his body.

The woman sighed resignedly: "Miss's surname is Zhao Guoguo's surname, her name is Xiang'er, and she ...... three years ago."

Zhao Xiang'er......

In the silence of the night, she slowly talked about the past.
