287 Luoyang 2
When the chaos ended, Pei's father found that the little lady was gone, and he was so angry in his heart, and he realized that it was not simple.
To say that the Pei family is a Kanto clan, although Pei's father has not dealt with the Pei family's secret fly camp dogs, but he also knows a lot, this kind of technique will only appear in the hands of his enemies, because of such a precise cooperation, as well as many tacit manpower, in addition to the family, only the army will have it.
But there is one point, he is not the main family or the main vein of the Pei family, just a branch, and the contradictions between the big families are not to the extent of life and death, and they will not use this method, so the only possibility is that the problem this time comes from the army. And the only thing in the army that Pei's father may collude with is the grain and grass of the Luoyang defenders, so the main messenger behind it, that is, the water is clear, only Hou Junji has it!
However, there is another one, although Pei's father can realize that Hou Junji did it, but there is no evidence and cannot be identified. In addition, there is another one that is even more troublesome, Pei's father is just a civil official in charge of grain and grass, whether it is status, official rank, or even function, he is under Hou Junji, and he is nominally under the jurisdiction of Hou Junji.
Pei's father has such an idea, which is actually very simple, that is, Hou Junji himself doesn't feel it, in fact, even the Tang Emperor, who is now far away in Chang'an, has already noticed Hou Junji's instability, how can an official like Pei's father who is beside Hou Junji not notice it? So Pei's father knows that this matter is troublesome, if he goes to ask Hou Junji, then he will be equivalent to joining the Hou Group, and the future will be a dead end;
Just when Pei's father was suffering, he heard the little lady's crisp children's voice: "Daddy." Daddy. ”
The overjoyed Pei's father immediately bounced up from the Hu bed, and ran out of the door without even wearing shoes.
Shangyuan Festival is the cold winter, especially yesterday was a heavy snowfall, Pei's father in order to be greedy to see the snow scene, the family did not let the servants shovel the snow in the house to clean up, just swept out of a small path in the garden. This time, he took three steps and made two steps, but he stepped on the snow with one foot, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of white cloth socks were already soaked by the snow. But Pei's father didn't feel it at all, he just chased after him.
Father Pei was originally upset, so he came to the conservatory in the back garden alone to have a drink, and the sound he heard at this time was from behind the conservatory, and when Father Pei bypassed the conservatory, he saw the little lady Pei E who was held in the arms of a middle-aged Taoist with black hair at a glance, and immediately tears flowed, it was "men have tears and don't flick", but now this kind of strong impact of happiness that has been lost and regained is really a rational and almost ruthless family disciple like Pei's father can't help it.
Pei E didn't care what her father thought, although she was scattered by the crowd at night and was taken away by a strong man in black who she didn't know, but the little lady was also extremely smart, she didn't cry or make trouble at all, and she was very well-behaved, until the black long straight man played by Li You fell from the sky and beat a group of black-clothed people to the point that she fled, the little lady timidly asked Lin Xiao: 'Immortal, can you take me home to find my father?'
Every time Lin Xiao accepts apprentices, as long as they are underage children, they will ask for the consent of their parents, and this time there will naturally be no difference, especially when he sees Pei E is so smart and icy, he is even more happy, so he puts the little lady on his shoulder and lets the little lady show the way, and he is talking to the little lady while coming to Pei's house.
Pei E is indeed smart, knowing that she has been missing for a while, if she goes directly to the main door of the house, she may even cause trouble at home - although those black-clothed people are vulnerable under Lin Xiao's hands, their organization and cooperation are only tacit, and they are all above their own servants, so naturally their origins are not simple. So the little girl led Lin Xiao, and walked all the way on a path where there was no one, and it was also a shame that the little lady had never been out of the mansion much, and only relied on her natural feeling to come directly to the back garden of the Pei family along the way.
But when she got here, Pei E had no choice, because although Pei Mansion had a back garden, it was not big, and there was no back door, even if Lin Xiao seemed to fall from the sky and beat away many people in black, but the little girl was not sure if Lin Xiao could go high and high - the courtyard wall of Pei's back garden was also more than a zhang high.
As soon as the little girl's doubts were said, Lin Xiao smiled, extremely satisfied with Pei E's thoughts, this is a child who is very good at thinking about others, which is in line with Lin Xiao's positioning between several disciples in the future, at the moment, he stomped his feet lightly, and flew directly into the back garden of Pei's mansion with the little girl.
After Pei E landed like a cloud, she found that the place where she landed was behind her conservatory, and the conservatory was brightly lit, and a familiar figure looked so lonely under the lights, the little girl's eyes were red, and she blurted out and shouted "Daddy." Then Pei's father was surprised and broke out of the room.
After taking Pei E, Pei's father realized that he was a little rude, and hurriedly invited Lin Xiao to sit down in the conservatory, after all, Lin Xiao in Pei's father's eyes was just a single set of clothes in the middle of winter.
If Lin Xiao knew that Father Pei had such an evaluation of him, he would probably have to be angry, although he seemed to be thinly dressed, but that cultivator was afraid of the cold and heat of the mortal world? Especially this piece of clothing, which one of them was not a magic weapon-level existence, which was comparable to the most expensive clothes in the mortal world.
However, seeing that Pei's father was also embarrassed, Lin Xiao didn't refuse, he didn't care in the cold winter, but if Pei's father also got frostbitten, it would not be a good thing, and he couldn't say that he would have to be treated.
At that moment, Lin Xiao was beside Pei's father, and the two walked into the greenhouse together and sat down, and at this time, Pei's father realized that his feet had been soaked with snow and water, and bursts of cold penetrated the heavenly spirit from his feet, and he couldn't help but have a cold shiver on his body. Father Pei originally wanted to say something, but he couldn't take care of it at this time, and was about to call the servants to change his shoes and socks, but Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Mr. Pei, with your knowledge, you naturally know that today's incident is not accidental, is it to alarm the servants at this time, so that they all know that Ling Yan has been found?" As he spoke, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed, a mana gushed out, and a fire came up directly from under his feet, and he immediately felt a burst of heat all over his body, and the cold brought by the white socks soaked also disappeared with this heat, and the whole person was like taking a hot spring, which was very comfortable.
Father Pei had such an adventure, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and bowed respectfully to Lin Xiao: "Please also ask the immortals to have mercy." The villain didn't think much about it for a while, and asked the immortal to show it, and the villain would never dare to have other thoughts. ”
Lin Xiao smiled: "Mr. Pei, you better get up first." Poor Dao is not an immortal, just a cultivator, and besides, you haven't done anything wrong, what dare you say nonsense. ”
Father Pei got up from the ground, didn't dare to say more, just bowed to Lin Xiao again, stood in front of the seat and refused to sit down.
Lin Xiao knew that Father Pei's mind was a little confused at this time, and he didn't blame him, but said softly: "Poor Dao has a fate with Ling Yan, I came here this time to accept Ling Yan as a disciple, just in time for Ling Yan to be attacked, how can I watch my apprentice being bullied and help you solve the problem." ”
As for what Lin Xiao said about accepting his little lady as an apprentice, the Pei family is different from the ordinary small family, and they can see this kind of thing more clearly, and the ancestors also have similar stories circulating, among which when the Li family was in Longxi, they specially held a ceremony for Li Qing to apprentice, although the Pei family did not participate in that grand event, but the Li family stood tall because of this, and even the royal family of the Great Sui Empire was afraid of it, so they knew how great the so-called immortal apprenticeship was.
For what Lin Xiao said at this time, Father Pei not only did not object, but also was very happy, but Father Pei didn't know that the apprenticeship a hundred years ago was also done by the Taoist in front of him, but at that time he was the image of a young Taoist, but now he is middle-aged, and even has an extra beard. (Compared with the Pei family, the Wen family is a branch far away from the main family after all, so it is inevitable that the information on this is not well-informed, otherwise why use Fa Hui to come forward to Lin Xiao as a footnote.) )
Pei's father has no objection to his daughter's apprenticeship, or even to take his daughter away now, but there is one point, do you want Mrs. to know? I don't know, Mrs. will definitely be sad because she has lost her daughter, and if she doesn't get it right, she will suffer great damage; but if Mrs. knows, Pei's father is worried that Mrs. is not strict in her mouth, and if it is known by outsiders, she will have other thoughts. At this time, Pei's father really had a dilemma.
However, there are immortals in front of them, and these things still have to ask the immortals to give them an idea, which is more appropriate than what they want to come to in a hurry, and the most important thing is that since the immortals have already made a move for the apprentice, they can't ignore the safety of the apprentice's parents, right?
Gathering his thoughts, Father Pei told his worries, this kind of straightforward expression made Lin Xiao a little impressed - this Father Pei is also deeply affected by the changes in people's hearts, so it seems to be above board.
Lin Xiao didn't hide it either, and said directly: "Now that Poor Dao even if he accepts Ling Yan as an apprentice, he can't do a big deal, it will only make you a thorn in the side of everyone in Luoyang City, so you can tell your wife that Ling Yan has been saved ten days after Poor Dao took Ling Yan away." However, it will take at least a year for the poor Dao to take away Ling Yan to lay a foundation for the disciples, so there is no need to worry about this matter. A year later, Poor Dao will send his apprentices home to save his relatives, and it will be more than ten years before he meets Poor Dao again. ”
