Volume 2 [Demon Fire] 124: King Qin of the Western Regions has arrived
() Before I knew it, it was already noon, and Wu and the others were eating......
"Xianggong, how is the renovation work of the Leng Mansion going?" Ning Xiang asked.
"It's almost repaired, the blood stains on the wall have been removed, my father's study has been rearranged, and the Ning Xiang Pavilion has been restored to its original state, only the wine cellar has not been tidied up. I've arranged for people to hurry up. By the way, why did the lady want to restore the Leng Mansion again? Isn't this Martial Sect's Ning Xiang Pavilion exactly the same as the original Leng Mansion?"
"Hehe, after all, that's where I grew up, and it's also my ancestral business. I can't forget my ancestors, and besides, there will be other uses for the cold mansion in the future. Condensation didn't tell all his plans at this time......
"Brother and sister are really nostalgic, hehe......" Duanmu Qinghe praised while eating.
"That's it! Sister-in-law attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and filial piety is what I Li Xiaoxiao admires the most. However, if we miss the 'old', we must also have the 'old' to miss! Like the two of us, we have no home and no job. Even if you miss the 'old', you don't know where the 'old' is......" Li Xiaoxiao said to Duanmu Qinghe jokingly.
"Report! Qiqi is in charge, there is a person outside who claims to be the cousin of the meritorious hall master, and he asks to see him in front of the village. "The disciples of the Zunwu Gate guarding the city knelt down to report.
"Meritorious Hall Master's cousin?
Everyone learned that it was Dao Meimei who came, and it was like seeing a weasel, and they didn't know what kind of demon she was going to do this time. Look at each other and convey each other's uneasiness with their eyes.
Only Li Xiaoxiao came to her senses, opened her big mouth and said happily: "Cousin, why is she here, eldest brother, second brother, I'll go out to have a look......" As he spoke, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out......
‘!’
Damuti snorted and slapped the dishes and chopsticks on the table: "It's cousin again! Cousin can let him run out without even eating, what cousin is so attractive? No, I have to go and see what kind of fuss they do!" After speaking, he also ran out after him.
Wu, Condensation Xiang, and Duanmu Qinghe looked at each other, all of them were stunned by this pair of happy enemies, and thought: As long as Dao Meimei is not here to find trouble. They picked up the bowl again with apprehension......
After a while, Damuti rushed in and said to everyone: "Hehe! Just now you said that you read the 'old', but this 'uncle' didn't read it, but read my uncle, hehe, it's so happy......
"Uncle?"
Condensation stood up with a puzzled look on her face, and greeted the big man King Tsalqin behind Damuti.
"Let me introduce you, this is my uncle, King Tsarcin, who is the Minister of State of the Western Regions. ”
Damuti turned his head and introduced to King Qin: "This is the head of the Zunwu Sect, Wu and the head of the Lady Condensing Incense, this is Duanmu Qinghe, and the one behind is Li Xiaoxiao." They are all good friends who have gotten along with me for more than a year. ”
When Ning Xiang heard that it was Wang Chu of the Western Regions, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Hehe, it turned out to be King Qin's driver, and he missed the distance, and he still looked at Wang Ye Haihan." ”
After that, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare first-class wine and good food to catch the wind and wash the dust for King Zarqin.
After everyone had greeted King Tsarcin one by one, Tamu asked, "Uncle, why are you with your cousin?"
King Zarqin smiled and said, "Hey, I have come to attend the opening ceremony of the Sanshan Gate on the orders of your father. Unexpectedly, I encountered a lot of things when I arrived in Daming. But now, it's okay, and I'm at ease when I see you!"
King Qin poked Princess Damuti on the forehead and reproached: "Your father thinks about you every day, and you girl doesn't say to go back and see." ”
Damuti picked up his wine glass: "Uncle, don't I have something to do? The Zunwu Sect has just been established, and I have been very busy all day. I'll go back and have a look when I'm done with that. Come, uncle, try the plum blossom wine made by Ning Xiang's sister-in-law. ”
After three rounds of wine, the banquet is over. Wu fell on the table again in a groggy state. The incense darkens the eyes and makes the eyes go down
put Wu into the Ning Xiang Pavilion. Then he said to King Qin: "Excuse me, my husband is not strong enough to drink, and he has made a fool of himself in front of King Qin, so I have to take care of it." You have come from afar, and you must have a lot to say to the princess, so you can talk slowly. When I got here, I arrived at home, the cottage was simple and the hospitality was not good, but I asked the king of Qin to feel at home, and everything was ordered by the king of Qin. Ning Xiang was out of company, and she ...... "After paying respect, she turned around and went......
In the curtain of the outer hall of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, she sat on the Taishi chair. Outside the curtain, Don Juan came to report with a bow......
Condensing incense beckoned Tang Juan to his side, and said in a low voice: "Old Tang, you go and help me check to see what the Sanshan Sect has to do with the Western Regions? By the way, investigate Dao Meimei again, and see what she said when she met with Li Xiaoxiao, the master of the Meritorious Hall, and presented it to me verbatim. Also, it has been a month since the opening ceremony of the Three Senses Gate, why did King Tsarcin come to see the master of Ghana now? Since it is an uncle-nephew relationship, there is no reason why it took so long to meet him. Look at what he's been doing in the Ming Land during this time, try to find out, the more detailed the better. ”
"Don Juan obeys his orders! By the way, military advisor? Zuo Chengming, who you asked me to follow last time, I have already sent someone to follow him for several days. He had no hobbies other than going to brothels. The woman who was with him was named Xiao Bai. ”
"Xiao Bai?"
This Xiao Bai was the illegitimate daughter of Xiao Zikun, the owner of Tiangang Village, and later drove her and her mother out of the cottage because Xiao Zikun's old lady was angry. Xiao Bai's mother died of illness at an early age because she couldn't withstand the upheaval and displacement. In desperation, Xiao Bai married Jia Zhoutong, a businessman in Suining City, at the age of sixteen, nicknamed Zhou Zhouba. A few years ago, Wednesday Ba was exposed for illegal things and was investigated by the imperial court. Since then, Xiao Bai has been reduced to a prostitute. Zuo Chengming did not handle the ingot of gold left by the military advisor for them, and the ministry was filled by Xiao Bai's woman. And Zuo Chengming still owes huge debts outside, and many of the three generations of disciples of Qingxuguan have borrowed him silver taels. Therefore, he couldn't stay in Qingyuan anymore, so he took advantage of Qingxuzi's death to steal the treasure of Qingxuguan, and sold his money to redeem himself for Xiao Bai. Xiao Xiaozhu, where they live now, also bought it with this money. ”
"Oh, why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere? By the way, what kind of magic weapon did he sell that is so valuable? Not only can he help Xiao Bai redeem himself, but he can also afford to buy that house?"
I haven't investigated this person in depth, so I don't know much about him. And what Zuo Chengming stole from Qingxuguan was the three mastery secret books of the Black Cloud Hand, the Broken Gold Flow, and the Qi Sword Technique that Qingxuzi practiced during his lifetime. ”
"Who did you sell it to?" asked, Ning Xiang took a sip of tea.
"Sold to a pawnshop in Lin'an City called Jinyuan Pawn. ”
"That's what it is, how do you call it selling?" Ning Xiang sifted through his words.
"No! I have verified that the pawnshop does not have a deed. Therefore, it was not cashed out in the form of a pawn, but bought at a fixed price in the form of a direct purchase. Don Juan further elaborated.
"Oh, that said...... Qing Xuzi's mastery is really a treasure. It seems that the second Qingxuzi is about to be born. Okay, you go get busy with yours. Don't forget what I told you!"
"Yes! ”
Don Juan was just about to turn around and leave, when Condensation Xiang remembered something......
"Eh, when I came back, I suddenly remembered, how are the Cai family and the Lu family who were in Lin'an at the time?"
Don Juan turned back to his place and said with a smile: "Hehe, just as the military advisor expected. That Cai Hunan had already sent the second lady and the two young masters out of Cai's mansion. ”
"Catch it!"
Ning Xiang was still drinking tea and said flatly......
Don Juan didn't seem to hear clearly: "Eh, what did the military advisor say? His subordinates didn't obey his orders, and he didn't listen to Bai ......."
"I said 'get it.'" Arrest the mother and son, send them to the cold house, keep them under strict supervision, and do not abuse them. As long as you don't try to get out of the cold house, treat them well. ”
"What does the military advisor mean...... House arrest?" Don Juan confirmed again.
"That's right, don't alarm anyone, be quiet...... Close, enter, cold, and ......," Ning Xiang admonished word by word.
"Understood!" his subordinates retired...... Don Juan turned around......
Ning Xiang put down the tea bowl and walked out and said, "Steward Tang, don't worry!" She squatted down and took out a wooden box from under the table, walked over and said to Don Juan, "Steward Tang, you take this, I gave it to you." ”
Tang Juan was flattered and hurriedly shirked: "This ...... Isn't that right?"
"Eh~!, you do your best to do things for me, and I will not treat my own people badly. Be careful, just take it, and there will be bigger gifts for you in the future. Condensation smiled and stuffed the wooden box to Don Juan.
Tang Juan hurriedly thanked him, turned around happily, and stepped out of the Ning Xiang Pavilion and couldn't wait to open the wooden box, which was a golden silk jade Ruyi. When Tang Juan saw the property worth a thousand taels of gold, he walked out of the Qingwa Village with a smile...... Just out of Zhongzhai, I haven't set foot on the road yet. Suddenly dumbfounded, he stood there stupidly, looking at an old monk in a gray robe who suddenly appeared in front of him......
'Smack!'
With a crisp sound, the wooden box in his hand fell to the ground......
The moment Tang Juan saw the gray-robed old monk, a trace of horror appeared on his face, his lips couldn't help twitching and trembling, and he squeezed out two words crookedly: "Master, Fu ......"
The man walked over and put his hand on Don Juan's left shoulder. Smile slightly, and snort hard. grabbed Don Juan and flew out of the camera......
In a teahouse outside Weizi City, Don Juan sat tremblingly at one end of the tea table, looked at the face of the old monk opposite in panic, and asked tremblingly: "Master, Master, why are you ...... old man?"
The old monk poured tea and said, "What? You deserve to die for a teacher, aren't you surprised to see me?"
Don Juan pretended to be calm, smiled and defended: "Where is there anything? Master, don't be joking. I just haven't seen Master for many days, but when I suddenly saw him today, I was a little excited. ”
"Excited, what are you excited about?" The gray-robed old monk squinted at Don Juan and handed him a cup of tea.
Don Juan hurriedly took it with both hands and said, "Uh...... I'm excited...... Hehe, I haven't seen Master for many days, can the disciple not be excited......? Why is Master dressed like this?"
"Oh, what? I'm ...... It's not your master?"
"Where is it? A teacher for one day and a father for life, the disciple is just curious for a while, and he has a lot of words. Don Juan hurriedly took a sip of tea and suppressed the fear in his heart.
"Let me ask you, did you have the heart to invite me to you to see the treasure that day?" asked the gray-robed old monk in a dark voice.
Don Juan felt a hint of murderous intent, which was so cold that it was refreshing. He defended: "Yes, the disciple brought Master to the Jedi Victory Realm because he sincerely offered his treasures?
"You don't pretend to be confused with me, are you colluding with that person named Wu to murder me together?"
Don Juan's expression was so complicated that his facial nerves were entangled in fright, but he still insisted: "How dare I? Besides, I have no reason to harm my own master?"
The gray-robed monk was silent for a moment, and then said abruptly: "Okay, count your mouth hard! I don't want to kill you today, but from now on, you have to listen to my arrangement." Otherwise......"
He tapped his middle finger on the table, and with a 'bang', a hole immediately burned out on the table......
When Tang Juan saw this method, he was so frightened that he hurriedly echoed and said, "Master, if you have any orders, you just have to give them." It is a matter of course for disciples to share their worries with their masters. ”
