Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Orthodox Sect Master

"Dad!" Xia Housha got up and wanted to rush over to hug her father, but was protected by Wen Taizhen.

"Aha!" Feng Fu foresaw that Xiahou Zhan would definitely die today, and laughed insolently.

Xiahou Zhan suddenly threw a knife, his right hand let go of the Demon Drinking Knife, and grabbed Feng Fu's left shoulder tightly, and at the same time, his right foot picked up the falling knife into the air! Feng Fu's vulture eyes suddenly increased, his right hand withdrew and threw the knife away, and he pulled Xiahou Zhan's hand hard, and at the same time kicked Xiahou Zhan's abdominal wound, causing a mouthful of blood to gush out of Xiahou Zhan's mouth! Xiahou Zhan not only did not let go of his right hand, but also grabbed Feng Fu's shirt with his left hand. In a moment, the Demon Drinking Knife fell straight into Feng Fu's heart, piercing through!

"You...... Leave a back hand...... Didn't teach me all the knife techniques...... You don't deserve ...... Ah!" Feng Fu hugged Xiahou Zhan in pain, resentful.

Xiahou Zhan pulled out the Demon Drinking Knife in his left hand, and saw Feng Fu lying to the ground struggling in pain, before he said indifferently, "I taught you all the knife techniques, and this last knife was just comprehended for you...... cough cough cough ...... "Xiahou Zhan suddenly lost his support and fell on the steps!"

"Daddy...... Daddy...... "Xiahou Sha rushed down, holding Xiahou Zhan's shoulder with her right hand, covering the bloody hole in his abdomen with her left hand, and her entire palm was soaked red all of a sudden.

Wen Taizhen's brows were twisted, he walked to the other side of Xiahou Zhan and squatted down, looked at the two wounds on his abdomen with concern, saw Xiahou Zhan hand the Demon Drinking Knife to him, looked at his eyes and respectfully took the knife with both hands, "Thank you, master!"

Xiahou Zhan nodded, grabbed Xiahou Sha's hand again, and sent it to Wen Taizhen, "Wen Taizhen, I will now hand over the two love of my life to you!" He saw Wen Taizhen nodding, and then turned his head and smiled, "Sha'er...... Help Daddy get his clothes in order!"

"Uh-huh......" Xiahousha sobbed and straightened her father's hair, patting his clothes. When she saw the two bleeding wounds again, she couldn't help leaning on Xiahou Zhan's shoulder and crying.

"Your mother...... Do you have anything to say......" Xiahou Zhan slowly looked at the void sky and asked softly.

"Dad, my mother said that I can't be angry with you......" Xiahou Sha sobbed, raised her eyes to look at her father's pale temples and said sincerely, "Mother also said that she never regretted marrying you!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiahou Zhan's mouth, as if he saw his beloved wife beckoning him home! Gradually, his eyes closed peacefully. Xiahousha hugged him and cried and shook him, unable to speak anymore......

Suddenly, a powerful murderous aura rushed towards his face, and a red figure shot at Xiahou Sha's back like an arrow! Cao Shubao reacted sensitively, and immediately swung his knife to intercept it, but was unexpectedly pushed away by the masked red-clothed man at the same time.

The moment the red-clothed man's right hand rubbed Xiahou Sha, the Demon Drinking Knife suddenly appeared and swung at his throat, he avoided it with a spinner and jumped backwards to the righteous Taoist crowd, and found that a burst of knife qi stirred up sand and sparks all the way, radiating towards him.

It turned out that Wen Taizhen saw a red figure break through Cao Shubao, and suddenly attacked Xiahou Sha, who was intoxicated, and hurriedly used the Demon Drinking Knife to perform the Yue Nu Knife Technique Xue Hou Chuqing forced the other party back, and another move Bi Lang released the knife qi to pursue remotely.

The man in red was surprised, "Yue Nu knife technique, you learned quite quickly, but...... The heat is still far away!" Then he flicked his sleeve with his left hand and flicked the chasing knife qi aside, and a "dog hole" was blown open in the wall of the Throat Courtyard.

"See the sect leader!" all the orthodox sect bowed to the man in red. A fan appeared in the red-clothed man's right hand, and when he shook it open, it was actually a Qilin treasure map, and he ordered as he wished, "Hahahaha, let's go!"

It turned out that the real purpose of the man in red this time was not to raid Xiahou Sha, but to take the treasure map on her body!

"Stop!" Tao Shiheng said expressionlessly to the back of the man in red, "You are so strong, why don't you show your true face?"

"Tao Shiheng, I know if you want to duel with me, but you are not qualified enough, there is a chance to let my apprentice play with you first, hahahahaha!" The man in red jumped on his horse, smiled without looking back, and led the Taoist disciples to leave quickly.

"What's the situation now?" A large number of people and horses suddenly surrounded the God of War Shrine, Zhenbei Hou Heng Yuanzi, a short and fat man in his early fifties, was supported by Zhang Mengbin and dismounted, and he asked this question when he saw the chaos at the scene. Cao Shubao looked at Heng Yuanzi and the others with a puzzled expression; Tao Shiheng looked expressionless and seemed to be immersed in the advanced martial arts of the man in red; Xiahou Sha still held Xiahou Zhan's body all the time, intoxicated with the pain of losing his father; Wen Taizhen looked at Xiahou Sha with pity, and looked around again, ready to deal with the changes that would happen at any time.

A spy stepped forward and whispered in a low voice for a while, Heng Yuanzi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he ordered loudly, "The Royal Forest Army obeyed the order, and Feng Fu, the chief soldier of Mazhou, colluded with the Righteous Daoist Sect, causing the treasure map of the Royal Qilin to be taken away by the Righteous Daoist Sect, and now Feng Fu is dead, and all his subordinates who participated in this matter will be taken away, and they will be severely investigated and punished. The Imperial Forest Army ordered all the remaining 100 men and horses in Ma Chau to be disarmed and escorted away.

"You are Xiahou Zhan's daughter?" Heng Yuanzi stepped forward and stopped at a distance of one zhang from Xiahou Sha, seeing Xiahou Sha's uncontrollable appearance, he said with concern, "The matter has come to this, you can mourn by the way!" He looked around Wen Taizhen, Tao Shiheng, and Cao Shubao again, and raised his head to the sky, "I will tell the emperor truthfully, Xiahou war thieves are planning to commit treason...... It is really a miscalculation, and it has now been ascertained that Xiahou Zhan has been working for many years to recover the treasure map, and it is really meritorious, and such loyal ministers and good generals cannot be buried by grievances like this. ”

Watching Heng Yuanzi shake his head and leave with a sigh, Wen Taizhen's thick eyebrows tightened, and he fell into deep thought. Three days later, the emperor list was indeed released in the court to correct Xiahou Zhan's name.

On the Qingming Festival, Xiahou Sha saw Wen Taizhen carrying the Demon Drinking Knife on her back, worshipping her deceased father in the name of a disciple, and confided that she wanted to fulfill her father's long-cherished wish, that is, to track down the truth, retrieve the Qilin treasure map, and return the treasure to the benefit of all people, her eyes felt extremely warm, like the warm winter sun!

One afternoon, in the study of the Huiji Palace.

"Yang Jin, the leader of the Orthodox Sect, knock on the prince, may the prince live forever and live with the sky!"

"No courtesy!" Sima Dao waved his hand, got up and walked to Yang Jin below. "Yang Guo, we will be separated for five years, how are you okay?"

It turned out that Yang Jin, the current leader of the Zhengdao Sect, was the biological father of the former Dashun Yang Guozhan, that is, the former queen Yang Yanrong! Since the news spread that Yang Yanrong was taken away by the Snow Wolf King and canonized as the queen, the political status of the Yang family has been seriously hit. After the new Emperor Wen, the son of the former King of the East China Sea, ascended the throne, there were voices among the "four great families" who had fallen into the ground, admonishing that Yang Yanrong was shameless and corrupted the national style, and that he should be connected to the three clans! Fortunately, in order to prevent the continued expansion of the power of the big family, Sima Dao and his faction admonished that "the new emperor should be benevolent when he ascends the throne." In the end, the imperial court decided to exclude the Yang family from the list of royal families and remove Yang Jin from his position, and all the officials of the Yang family in the court were demoted to concubines.

"Thanks to the prince Hongfu, in the past five years, the old man has always remembered it in his heart, and I am grateful to the prince for the grace of protecting my sheep family!" Yang Jin replied with a sincere look, "This is the treasure map of the unicorn, please take a look." He took out the folding fan from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

"Okay!Yang Jin, you have worked hard and worked hard, and it is in vain that the king tried his best to protect your family's life in front of the emperor back then!" Sima Dao took the folding fan and examined it carefully, and handed it to an elegant staff member behind him who was full of bookishness.

"The old man feels extremely honored to be loyal and share his worries for the prince! I only hope that the prince can take more care of my Yang clan in the future, and my sheep will definitely be broken to pieces and repay the prince......!"

"Duan Weijian, you must put away the treasure map, and this king will choose a day to present to the emperor. Stand down first!" Sima Dao said to the elegant staff with a sideways face.

"Obey the order, Xiaosheng retired. After Duan Weijian waved to Sima Dao, he then hugged his fist at Yang Jin, then stepped back and closed the door.

"If there's anything important, you can say it!" Sima Dao sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Forgive the old man for bluntly saying that the current emperor is a yellow-mouthed child, immoral and incompetent, the prince, you are eloquent and strategic, and now you have the unicorn treasure map, sooner or later you can succeed!"

"Hugh is talking nonsense...... Sima Dao heard this, smashed the teacup, stood up tremblingly, with a gray beard, as if a frightened hedgehog was standing upright, and pointed at Yang Jin with one hand and scolded angrily, "Yang Jin, you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame this king for being ruthless! Just now, this king should not have heard it......

"Lord Wang......" Yang Jin immediately knelt down and said earnestly, "Today's Dashun Dynasty is in disorder, and the people are struggling to make a living, so there is an urgent need for a virtuous monarch like Wang Ye!"

Sima Dao stood behind his hands and didn't speak, and suddenly rushed in a few guards "Lord Wang......", Sima Dao came back to his senses, waved his sleeves, and saw the guards retreat and close the door, turned his back and said sternly, "Yang Jin, remember, this matter will have to be mentioned again in the future, you can retreat!"

"Lord Wang...... The old man took his leave first. Yang Jin saw that Sima Dao's back to him was unmoved, so he didn't say anything more and retreated.

After seeing Yang Jin leave, Sima Daocai turned over and sat down, and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Duan, what do you think of this person?"

Suddenly, a person came out of the room, it was Sima Dao's henchman Duan Weijian, he said, "According to Xiaosheng's foolish opinion, Yang Jin's heart is not right, and it will be a big disaster in the future!"

"Sir, why do you say that?" Sima Dao asked, looking at Duan Weijian, puzzled.

As the saying goes, the gentleman is servant of things, and the villain is also servant of things. Let's talk about Xiahou Zhan first, he has always been proud of his high merits, and he has made countless enemies in the court, and he is also to blame for ending up like this. However, the reason why Xiahou Zhan seized the map was really loyal, and the reason why he became infamous and betrayed his relatives was all due to the fact that the righteous Taoism fabricated facts and spread rumors! This Yang Jin is close to the age of sixteen, and he still does not understand, he has been obsessed with fame and fortune, obsessed with restoring the family's fame, and in order to obtain the treasure map and seize the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he will unscrupulously frame others, and the unrighteous villain is also one of them!" Duan Weijian said with a hand behind his back.

Seeing Sima Dao nodded, he continued, "The so-called benevolent person is also the virtue of the heart." The righteous Taoism led by Yang Jin has infiltrated all factions in the rivers and lakes, and even among the officials of various states and counties, nominally playing the banner of eliminating harm for the people, but in fact they are dedicated to killing and plundering, looting the people's fat and ointment, and fishing and fleshing the people, and they are not benevolent, and this is the second thing!"

Sima Dao nodded again and again, "Go on......"

Duan Weijian bowed his head, and then said, "Those who are loyal to people are like fishes. As the emperor's uncle, and as an assistant to the cabinet, Yang Jin keeps saying that he is loyal to the prince, and he dared to make rebellious remarks just now.

"Hmph!" Sima Dao heard this, clenched his fist in one hand, slowly stood up, and made up his mind, "According to what Mr. said, Yang Jin has to be removed!"

"It's all up to the prince's decision, if necessary, Xiaosheng is willing to do his best!" Duan Weijian said.

Sima Dao nodded, beckoned him to his side and whispered, then added, "This person has strong martial arts skills, many ears and eyes, you must be cautious in your actions!"

In late spring, the sky is clear and the wind is smooth. In a pavilion in Jiangpu Green Water Villa, Wen Taizhen and Cao Shubao were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea, and Chu Miyun suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Hehe!" Chu Miyun grabbed a cup of tea and drank it, then took out three posts from his arms, put two on the stone table next to him, opened one in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "The invitation to the hero conference of Lingyin Temple during the Dragon Boat Festival, that's yours hahaha!"

"It's strange, it's normal for the Hero Conference to invite Wen Taizhen and me, why do you also have an invitation?" Cao Shubao said.

"Why shouldn't I be invited, I'm a thief!' It was the Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, and I sincerely invited all the heroic knights to gather in the Feilai Fengling Yin Temple to discuss the crusade against the Orthodox Sect ...... 'Well, it seems that I am also a heroic warrior in the Central Plains martial arts...... Chu Miyun read his invitation, and he was self-absorbed for a while.

Cao Shubao shook his head, picked up the teacup, and saw that Mrs. Wen was really absent-minded, so he stretched out a hand in front of him and shook it, "Mrs. Wen, which girl has your soul taken away?"

"I'm thinking about the fact that the righteous Taoist red-clothed man took away the treasure map, as well as Zhenbei Hou Hengyuanzi, I remember Sasha told me that Heng Yuanzi disagreed with Xiahou Zhan's politics, and may even be the mastermind of framing Xiahou Zhan, but why did he rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Xiahou's family?"

"What Xiahou Sha said, did she see it with her own eyes, or did Xiahou Zhan tell her?" Cao Shubao asked Wen Taizhen.

"That's not true, she just said that her father's final military power fell into the hands of Heng Yuanzi, and the two of them in the court also had a fierce dispute over "war or peace......" Wen Taizhen stated while recalling Xiahousha's words.

"Oh, okay, let's talk about it, it's better to go to the hero conference to talk to Heng Yuanzi himself!" Chu Miyun interrupted impatiently, and pointed to the invitation - Zhenbei Hou Heng Yuanzi. Cao Shubao and Wen Taizhen looked at each other and nodded.

"Take me along, I also want to know what kind of person Zhenbeihou is, not to mention that people have helped my father correct his name, and it is also appropriate to thank him in person. Xiahou Sha walked over from the corridor, nodded slightly to Cao Shubao and Chu Miyun, her eyes fell on Wen Taizhen, and said earnestly. Wen Taizhen grabbed her hands, looked her eyes, and nodded.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Wen Taizhen, Xiahou Sha, and Cao Shubao hurried to Feilaifeng Lingyin Temple, passed through Wuxingcheng at noon, rested in a noodle restaurant, and ate a piece of Sichuan.

"You eat more!" Wen Taizhen sandwiched all the lean meat in the bowl to Xiahousha.

"You, hey......" Cao Shubao couldn't stand it anymore, and took the bowl to the open-air seat outside the noodle restaurant.

The back door of a manor next to the noodle shop was suddenly pushed open, and a woman dressed as a small man and a woman dressed as a maid rushed out and chased after the noodle shop.

"Chestnut, you teach me a hard lesson for this little slut!" Out of the door came a gorgeously dressed woman, a golden peony medicine-colored soft brocade silver long skirt, a yellow silver silk gown, the arms of the crossed waist were exposed with a gold ring and silver bracelet on one side, and an emerald jade bracelet was exposed on the other side, a brocade belt embroidered with gold thread on the slender waist, and her hair was combed into a complicated double conical bun and decorated with a handful of gold silk bead hairpins and two treasure jade hairpins, but she was a big cake face, her face was embellished with countless "sesame seeds" that could not be concealed, and a pair of small drooping eyes...... Her pungent tone was like a chirping on a tree branch!

The little girl who was chased and beaten, visually judged to be seventeen years old, although she was dressed plainly, her skin was smooth and delicate, like an egg that had just been peeled off, her hair was black and thick, a pair of almond eyes were bright, and a pair of small dimples loomed on her small thin face, she was an excellent beauty embryo, and she had a unique temperament in her bones. She stumbled "oops", just hit Cao Shubao's wooden table, and fell to the ground all of a sudden. As soon as the wooden table was topped, Cao Shubao was splashed with the noodles on his hands, and looked at his hands in a daze......

"Yes, Miss!" the chasing big girl, about twenty-five years old, replied respectfully, turned (rolled) her sleeves, and walked towards the little maid sitting on the ground with her teeth and claws, and said sharply, "You can run, eggplant, and then run......!

"Ah......" the little maid suddenly burrowed under the wooden table.

"Eggplant, you come out for myself! Otherwise, I will lock up your firewood room tonight and not give you food!" The pie-faced lady walked over, and while threatening, she crossed her waist with one hand and pointed the other under the wooden table.

"Enough of you...... It's really unlucky" Cao Shubao came back to his senses, stood up tremblingly, shook his clothes, wiped his face and said helplessly.

"Where did the buns come from!" Flatbread glanced at Cao Shubao, fanned the air on the tip of his nose with his hand, and rolled his eyes.

"You dare to take care of the affairs of the Qian Mansion, you don't look in the mirror, get out of the way for me......" The big girl barked at Uncle Cao with a fake tiger look.

Wen Taizhen and Xia Housha heard a noise, and the two walked out and stood beside Cao Shubao.

"I haven't seen you for a while, have you fallen into the water, hahaha" Wen Taizhen looked at Cao Shubao's embarrassed appearance, and said with a smile with thick eyebrows. Xia Housha looked at the two of them and smiled.

"No...... Thanks to her!" Cao Shubao looked at the shivering little maid under the wooden table, raised his chin and said.

Xia Housha saw that it was a little girl, and immediately squatted down and stretched out her hands to her with a smile. Seeing Xiahousha's kind face, the little maid held her outstretched hand, slowly crawled out, and after standing up, she saw Cao Shubao looking at her and was stunned for a moment, before whispering, "I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to do it just now. After speaking, she let go of Xiahou Sha's hand, a little timid but resolute, looked at Miss Flatbread Face and said, "I'll go back with you, they ...... It is not a matter of ......"

"You say it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant?" the big girl looked around at Wen Taizhen and the other three with a fierce face, and then looked at Miss Flatbread Face with a fierce expression, "In Wuxing City, don't say that someone dares to go against our Qian Mansion, even if it is a county magistrate, when he sees our lord Qian, he must give three points." I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles rushed to marry our young lady, and they almost all stepped through the threshold......"

"Just your young lady...... Still stepping through the threshold?" Cao Shubao glanced at the big pie face with contempt, lowered his head and patted his clothes, not angry.

"Hmph, ha......" Wen Taizhen glanced at the big pie face, and couldn't help but laugh without saying a word. Xiahousha and the little maid glanced at each other, and the two of them also covered their mouths and laughed.

"You...... You guys...... Hmph!" Miss Flatbread stomped angrily and ran back to the manor.

"You, you, and you, you're done, don't want to run!" The big girl crossed her waist and pointed at Cao Shubao and the little maid one by one with her conceited hands.

"You guys hurry up, she's a big deal to beat me, it's good to beat me......" The little girl looked at Cao Shubao and the others firmly with a pair of big eyes, and the spring breeze couldn't stir up a trace of waves inside.

"Want to go...... Are you able to go?" a bearded man in a satin robe followed by a big cake face, surrounded by a dozen or so knife-wielding servants.

"Butler, it's a few of them who humiliate me, and the little vixen of eggplant, she also bullies me!" said to the bearded butler.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll take care of them!" Bazihu bent down and finished speaking to the big pie face, turned around and asked, "Chestnut, how can you let people bully Miss, and who are they?"

"I, I've done my best to protect Miss,...... It's the eggplant, it's the helper that this little fox is looking for......" Chestnut said shirkingly, pointing at the little maid.

"You dare to offend the Qian family, alas! I invited you, I'll close first, and a few guest officials can do it for themselves!" At this time, the owner of the noodle restaurant saw that the situation was not right, ran over to clean up, hurriedly turned around and entered the store, and closed the door.

"Phew" Wen Taizhen blew a whistle and looked at Xia Housha and shrugged, "Now, it's getting interesting." ”

"If you don't change your name or change your surname, Cao Shubao of the Cao family in Xiafuzhou, just passing through here, has no intention of causing trouble," Cao Shubao glanced at the mustache and the big cake face, and finally glanced at the eggplant and said, "It's just that the lady of your mansion and the maid are too deceitful and speak wildly, so I am in charge of this matter." ”

"It turned out to be the son of the famous Cao family in Fuzhou, and he was disrespectful. Bazihu looked at Cao Shubao a few, and then glanced at a family member on the side, asking him to go back to report the news, and continued, "But my young lady is the only pearl in the palm of our money, and she grew up with a golden key in her mouth, and it is the first time to be angry like today, so this matter is not trivial, and I have to wait for my master to come to decide!"

In a few moments, a man in his fifties walked out of the manor, dressed in dark red silk robes, with gold and silver trimmings, and a wide jade belt with a purple and red ancient jade. His big belly is matched with a big pie face that is always on his back, which sets off a temperament full of intestines and brains!

"Master!" the mustache bowed to the boss's face.

Miss Qian ran up like a bird, leaned on the shoulder of the big pie-faced Qian officer, sobbed twice, and then said coquettishly in a knowing voice, "Daddy, several of them have teamed up to bully me, and I can't easily spare them, especially eggplant! This little vixen actually seduced Yu Gongzi, who came to give gifts, and took away the gifts that should have been given to me!"

Qian Yuanwai patted Miss Qian's hand, glanced up, and said to the eight-character nonsense in a very casual tone, "Break the eggplant's legs and throw it to the back mountain to feed the dog!" Then he looked at Cao Shubao and the other three contemptuously, and while turning his back, he commanded the eight-character nonsense in a casual tone, "One person has one thousand taels of silver, and I will compensate my daughter, otherwise the man will be wasted, and the woman will be sent to the Qinglou!"

"Yes, sir!" replied with a bow.

"It's none of their business!" Eggplant stepped forward, her slightly emaciated face showing fortitude, but her hands and feet were fighting, "I didn't take any gifts... He didn't seduce anyone, he had to entangle himself!".

Qian Yuanwai just glanced at her, tilted his head, and led his big-faced daughter to the manor.

"Qian Mansion is so majestic, Qian Yuan is really majestic!" Cao Shubao saw that the two family members were going up to catch eggplants, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him.

"Why, don't you know what to do?" said the bearded butler with a threatening face.

"What are you talking about, arrest them all!" Qian Yuanwai turned around and said angrily, as if the pie was burning red, "Don't say that now, his Cao family is just a merchant family, even if it is his great-grandfather Cao Yan, he is just a down-and-out nobleman who has died in the country, hum!"

The eight-character bearded housekeeper beckoned, and more than a dozen knife-wielding men rushed forward together. Cao Shubao kicked sideways, turned around and kicked sideways, put down the first two, pulled out the iron flute, and used consecutive moves such as tiptoe straight stabs, chest stabbing kicks, wrist grabbing and horizontal hits, and a cup of tea, more than a dozen famous people were knocked to the ground, crying dad and calling mother. The bearded housekeeper also fell to the ground with a nosebleed, but because he ran away at the front, he was dragged by Qian Yuanwai and fell into a dog and ate! Wen Taizhen held the Demon Drinking Knife in his hand and guarded the gate of the manor, and Qian Yuanwai and Miss Qian knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"I'm going to take her away now, are you okay?" Cao Shubao tapped the eggplant on his side with his flute, and then pointed to the two people on the ground and asked.

"I have no opinion...... Qian Yuan was sweating profusely, as if oil had been sprinkled on the flatbread.

"Miss Qian, do you have any opinions?" Xia Housha also had an addiction to punishing evil and promoting good, grabbed the arm of the eggplant, and asked with a bow on the face of the sesame flatbread.

"She doesn't have an opinion either!" Qian Yuanwai hugged his frightened daughter and hurriedly replied.

"Huh, I remember someone just said that a thousand taels of silver came alone, I think he didn't do this kind of thing before," Wen Taizhen saw that Cao Shubao was about to give up with an understatement, and reminded, "It's better to be like this, you two are so expensive, 10,000 taels per person, today's matter is over." ”

"Ah, twenty thousand taels?" said the money clerk looked at his outstretched scissor hand.

"What, don't you want to?" said Wen Taizhen, fiddling with the Demon Drinking Knife in his hand with both hands.

"Yes, willing!" Qian Yuanwai nodded violently, and the expression on his big face was so painful that his facial features were tightly squeezed together, like a big baked cake with a chrysanthemum pattern.

In the afternoon, outside Wuxing City, on the official road of Lingyin Temple to Feilai Feng, four people and three horses hurried leisurely.

"The Yellow River is seriously flooded, and I hope that these 20,000 taels can help some of the affected people......" Wen Taizhen rode his horse and said with a sad face, and Xiahou Sha in his arms stroked his hand holding the reins.

Cao Shubao shook his head, withdrew his gaze from the two people on horseback in front of him, and just saw the little girl on the right side with a sad face, she seemed to see no hope for the future, and said with concern, "Eggplant, don't worry, if you really don't have a place to go, you can temporarily go to my Cao family's other garden in Yanzhou." When I hear the news of your family, I'll send you over to get together......"

"Can you borrow my flute?" Eggplant didn't wait for Cao Shubao to finish speaking, and a pair of almond eyes came over to him and asked him softly.

"Of course......" Cao Shubao handed over the iron flute.

Eggplant took the flute, looked worried, and gently blew a melodious tune. Wen Taizhen and Xiahou Sha heard this, looked at each other with a look of surprise, slowed down the horses, and walked to the right side of the eggplant. Xiahousha looked at the eggplant with a smile and sang softly to the sound of the flute, "The west wind besieges the city...... After several red dusts, the small years are slightly painful, and the past is ...... Time has not asked, missed us, why is the love deep, the thousands of mountains to visit the ancient road ruts, thousands of miles, tossing and turning in the world ......"

When the eggplant heard Xiahousha's singing, his eyes were surprised, and then he was surprised, and then he played affectionately, looking back at Xiahousha from time to time, looking back at Xiahousha gently, and there was more kindness and warmth in his eyes.
