Chapter 30 Roster
"What are you staring at me?"
Daozen runs "Eighteen Stops" every day to repair internal injuries. When he opened his eyes at this time, the phoenix kite sat on a wooden stool with his cheeks on his cheeks, his eyes staring at him tightly, which made Dao Chan extremely uncomfortable.
"Can't you see you?" said the yellow kite smiled, her eyes bent into a crescent moon.
"Although I am indeed good-looking, not worse than those so-called beautiful men, but if you look at me like this, I will be shy. ”
"I'd love to. The corners of the phoenix's mouth hooked, quite playful.
Lu Qigui, who was busy working in the courtyard, had an ugly face, after all, he had lived a lot of age, and how could he not know the thoughts of his granddaughter? But when he saw the demeanor of Daozen, Lu Qigui felt a pain in his chest, what kind of sin did he create in his previous life?
Looking at the sun, the hour was not early, and she asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Dao Zen thought for a long time: "I love everything you make." ”
"Really? It's rare to hear you praise people. ”
"Fake. ”
"Huh?" the phoenix kite glared at Daozen.
"Honestly. But there are only three people in this courtyard, and there is no one else to cook except for you, so let Old Man Lu do it? I'm afraid that he will poison my food and die blindly, after all, I've made him angry enough these days. So you have to eat the food you cook even if you don't eat it. Dao Chan took it for granted, and he didn't realize how much anger his words could ignite the phoenix kite.
Huang Kite smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll make up for you tonight." ”
"Girl, let grandpa do it, the old man will never let him live until tomorrow. Lu Qigui threw the hammer in his hand and stood up.
"Grandpa, no, I'm in a good mood today, so let me cook. ”
Although there was smoke curling in the firewood room, Dao Chan only saw the phoenix kite holding a plate as clean as a mirror and placing it on the stone table.
He looked at the plate and looked at the phoenix kite curiously: "What about the food you cooked?"
The phoenix kite pointed to the table: "That's not all, you see, how rich." After that, he leaned over and sniffed: "It's so fragrant, let's eat it." ”
Lu Qigui closed his eyes, sighed, took out a dry cigarette and squatted in the courtyard to smoke silently, and did not speak, thinking: Rabbit cub, you still have the face to ask for food? If it weren't for you, the old man wouldn't have to be hungry.
Daochan saw Lu Qigui squatting aside without speaking, and looked helpless: "Tomboy, if you dislike me, you can just say it, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
"Well, it's a snub to your guests. You can live here with peace of mind, if you want to eat, just mention it, we will make you satisfied. Oh, by the way, eat the food on the table. Huang Kite smiled coldly and turned around and left, leaving only Daochan alone.
Lu Qigui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Daozen on the head: "I said that your kid is too smart, or is he too stupid to be saved, so you can't coax the girl?"
Dao Chan is even more puzzled: how the always gentle phoenix kite became like a shrew in the village. Besides, I'm still hungry now, and I'm not your old man alone, if you have the kung fu to beat me, it's better for you to go old and coax the phoenix kite. However, what is it about me that I don't like to say that makes her angry like this?
However, Dao Chan is quite patient with some people, and he explained to Huang Kite for a long time, and he almost took out his heart to prove his sincerity. Huang Kite smiled happily and forgave Dao Chan very generously, he and Lu Qigui had just eaten, Dao Chan sandwiched a piece of meat for himself, and just wanted to speak. Lu Qigui glared at him: "I don't have to say anything." ”
Dao Chan wrapped around the back of his head and nodded: "That's what you always say. Shut up obediently, Huang Kite looked at the strange appearance of Dao Chan and Lu Qigui, and tilted his head to figure it out.
Half a year later, Daozen's injuries finally healed. Now he has begun to practice boxing, but he is not in a hurry, every time he is at the end of the point, just after finishing a set of punches in the courtyard, the phoenix kite walked into the courtyard: "Thirteen, see who is coming?"
Murong Yiwen carried a bookcase on his back, lived on a bamboo pole, and blindfolded his eyes.
Daochan glanced at Murong Yiwen and wiped his sweat: "What do I say." The tomboy disappeared early in the morning, and it turned out that he was going to pick you up the bastard. What are you doing here?"
Murong Yiwen sat on the stone bench and put down the bookcase: "It's not like I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, so I'm here to visit." ”
"You wish I died early, and I still miss it, so it's not a good thing for you to miss it. Daozen rolled his eyes.
Murong Yiwen looked at the phoenix kite and said, "Little kite, is there any water, it's a little thirsty." ”
"Wait, I'll boil hot water. Grandpa brought back new tea from outside last time, and made tea for you to drink. ”
When the phoenix kite walked into the firewood room, Murong Yiwen said to Daochan: "Xu Shengping, the secretary of the ministry, is dead. ”
"What does it matter to me whether he dies or not. I have nothing to do with the government. Daozen said casually.
Murong Yiwen said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, he is one of the people you asked me to check." ”
When Daochan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "When did this happen?"
"It's been a while, but your serious injury hasn't healed, and I'm inconvenient, so I haven't informed you. Although Xu Shengping was sick at the time, the emperor allowed him to go back to his hometown to recuperate, but before he arrived, he died on the way. Although it is claimed to the outside world that Xu Shengping's condition suddenly worsened and he died violently, this is not the case. ”
"You're saying he was killed?"
"Yes, according to his entourage, he should have been poisoned and killed. ”
Daozen was silent.
"According to what I have investigated, this matter is related to the Yama Temple. ”
"Isn't someone buying murder?"
"Exactly, and it was the hand of His Highness Yama hired by the prime minister Wu Zinian. ”
Dao Chan's fingers tapped on the stone: "Wu Zinian, why did he kill Xu Shengping?"
"Xu Shengping clearly disagrees with Wu Zinian's political opinions, but in fact he is Wu Zinian's faction. The two are inextricably linked. Murong Yiwen said.
Then he Wu Zinian had no reason to kill Xu Guangdao. ”
Murong Yiwen smiled and didn't speak. Daozen knew that he must have said something, just waiting for him to ask himself. Daochan glanced at Murong Yiwen: "Please Mr. Murong for advice." Don't sell it when you're old. ”
Murong Yiwen smiled: "Although it is said that Wu Zinian hired the hand of His Royal Highness Yama, but in fact, before the assassin of Yama Hall arrived, Xu Shengping had already died. ”
"How do you know so clearly, could it be that your Wantong Pavilion is really Wantong Everything?" Dao Chan was secretly surprised in his heart, he really had to admire Wantong Pavilion's ability.
"It's up to you to guess for yourself. Hehe. ”
Dao Chan looked at Murong Yiwen several times, although he had long known that Murong Yiwen had hidden many things from him, he never asked, and only regarded him as a brother. And now Dao Chan finally realized that Murong Yiwen was no longer the timid boy who could only cry his nose.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't betray me one day, it has nothing to do with me how powerful Wantong Pavilion is. And you mean that this was done by someone else?"
"Yes, but I don't know who did it. Murong Yiwen shook his head.
Although Daochan needs to ask Xu Shengping about his master, but now that the person is dead, there is nothing he can do: "If you die, you will die, and it just so happens that I will not be able to do it myself." ”
Murong Yiwen showed a playful smile: "Although he is on your list." But he doesn't have to be the murderer you're looking for. But after all, I have been to your master, and I think it must have something to do with your master. It's a pity that the dead can't speak, and since the other person is dead, then no other things can be asked from his mouth. ”
"The man is already dead, what else can I do? Could it be that I dig his grave, and then slap him twice, bring him back to life, and then bury him when the question is clear?" Dao Chan was also helpless.
Although the words of Dao Zen are not good, they are true. And Murong Yiwen didn't find out who did it, if he guessed, it was most likely those things in the temple.
As for the affairs of the temple, Dao Zen neither understands nor bothers to pay attention to it. He is not like Murong Yiwen, in Wantong Pavilion, the news is exquisite, and he has to know a thing or two about everything.
Regarding this, Dao Chan has never understood why Murong Yiwen worshiped Wantong Pavilion. Dao Chan also asked Murong Yiwen, who closed his eyes, and then opened them again. He told Daozen: Because of this.
Looking at Dao Chan's puzzled face, Murong Yiwen smiled slightly, and said: I am not as brave and fearless as you thirteen. You know, in the North, even though I was a few years older than you, I was the one who had the most guts, even the Phoenix Kite, who was better than me. Because he is timid, he is afraid of everything. I didn't have the courage to face it, so I wanted to know everything, everything I feared and what I wasn't afraid of. In this way, I can have peace of mind and the courage to live.
Daozen asked him: Then are you at peace now?
Murong Yiwen looked at himself: Now I understand that daring to be ignorant is a kind of courage. As long as you are afraid for a day, you will not be at peace for a day.
Dao Chan thought to himself that this might be the reason why Murong Yiwen often pretended to be blind.
Waiting for the phoenix kite to come out with the tea, Murong Yiwen knocked on the bamboo pole: "There is another news, you will definitely be interested." ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's Xiao Qingzi, not long ago, I apprenticed to Long Guqiu. That little girl was really a martial arts wizard, and she was accepted as an inner disciple by Long Guqiu, and in just a few months, she was already a mortal Tianzi. I'm afraid it won't be long before I step into the ranks of Vajra Warriors. ”
"What Haruko?" asked the phoenix kite, curious.
"You'd better ask Thirteen. ”
The phoenix kite looked at Dao Chan, and Dao Chan replied indifferently: "I know a little girl." ”
"I told her not to practice martial arts, why didn't she listen to persuasion?" Daochan shook his head helplessly.
Murong Yiwen glanced at the phoenix kite: "It seems that I was sad because I saw you jumping off the cliff, and I was ready to seek revenge from the Yama Palace." ”
The phoenix kite looked at Dao Chan with strange eyes: "Little girl?"
"It's really a little girl, what's wrong?" Dao Chan didn't understand why the phoenix kite's eyes suddenly became unkind, and there was a faint anger rising.
The phoenix kite glared at Dao Zen and stopped talking.
Murong Yiwen laughed.
"Aren't you thirsty for a long time? That's a lot of nonsense. Daochan looked at Murong Yiwen and became angry.
"If you really don't want Xiaoqingzi to practice martial arts, then it's easy to do. Just tell her that you're still alive, and everything can be solved, and if it's inconvenient for you, I can do it for you. ”
"No, I don't know what I'm going to do will cause any enemies, and I don't know what dangers I will encounter, so that she will have a relationship with me, but it will hurt her. However, his father is the famous Luo Xiuji, and his master is Long Guqiu, so no one dares to do anything to her, even if she does something. ”
"Really?"
Daochan glanced at Murong Yiwen, who seemed to be watching a play, and didn't answer.
"Okay, all the people you want me to check are here. I have written in sufficient detail. Murong Yiwen handed Daochan a roster, and then got up: "Xiao Qi, please send me down to the peak." ”
Daozen opened the roster and read it page by page.
"Why don't you persuade Thirteen?" When Murong Yiwen walked out of the courtyard, Huang Kite asked him.
"Is it useful?" Murong Yiwen asked rhetorically.
The phoenix kite shook her head.
Murong Yiwen smiled and said, "Phoenix Kite, although Thirteen has the best relationship with a few of you, only I know him best. He will do whatever he wants and will never listen to anyone's dissuasion. He only needs what he needs, and we can help him when he needs it, that's all. ”
"What if something happens to Thirteen?" Huang Kite was still worried about Daozen's safety.
Murong Yiwen raised his head and felt a ray of sunlight passing through the woods: "This is the path he chose, and it is also his life." ”
