Chapter 54: Winding Path
Those who have lost their souls are just farewell.
Zhang San went in in fear, came out in despair, the sunset was twilight, the red sun was approaching, looking back at the dark clouds, the weather was as vicissitudes as Wu Liang across the street.
Wu Liang was slowly closing the stall at this time, although it seemed to be a fart against the prison, but Zhang San knew that his whole heart was watching at the prison door.
"Maybe there's a way. Zhu Congzhi looked at Zhang San's sluggish appearance and was a little unbearable.
"You just said it, there's nothing you can do. Zhang San didn't dare to report any more hopes.
"There are at least three months left for the Autumn Queen, if you can do something that makes the imperial grandfather very happy in these three months, maybe there will be salvation. β
"Make your imperial grandfather happy? I'm just afraid that I won't even be able to see his old man, right?" Zhang San was puzzled.
"There is no need to meet, I just thought of a way, those masters who can win the championship at the pilgrimage of the ten countries will be personally praised by Grandpa Tai, if you ask which of them to say a word, there should be a delay. "Zhu Congdao.
"Who are those masters?" asked Zhang San.
Zhu Congzhi smiled, "It's not comparable, how do you know who the master is, but the emperor's grandfather personally recruited a batch, and the palaces around the country have also prepared some, all of them are famous people in the rivers and lakes, my father was the first to invite Yu Wanting, Haining, Zhejiang, foreign kung fu is second to none in the martial arts, and it is very promising to win the championship, but at the moment it has not yet arrived in the capital, and when he arrives, I will take you to beg him." β
"Okay, that's really grateful!" Zhang San thanked from the bottom of his heart, although there was an appointment before, but Zhu Congzhi could also ignore such a difficult matter, and now it seems that he is still very dedicated.
The two exchanged contact information, Zhang San lived in Xizhimen "Qian You Inn", and Zhu Congzhi's mansion was a deep house in the west of the city, without the Wangfu brand, not far from Lu Wan's house.
After bidding farewell to the little prince, Zhang San met his master Wu Liang and his sister Wu Qing who were waiting for him at the corner.
"How is it? Have you seen anyone? Have you been tortured?" Wu Liang asked angrily, at this time Wu Liang had already changed back into his outfit, which was Zhang San's respectful, fearful, and hateful appearance.
"Seeing it, the senior brother confessed, and there was no need to torture, just wait for the autumn queen to behead. Zhang San said.
"Is there really no way?" Wu Qing said anxiously, most of the things she and Zhang San played with when they were children were brought back from outside by Tian Boguang, and their feelings were also very deep.
Wu Liang felt that what his daughter said was meaningless, so he didn't wait for Zhang San to answer, and then asked, "Who just brought you in? β
"It's Zhu Congzhi, the third son of the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, let me help him steal the mountains and rivers Ding, owe us a favor, and now I pay it back, but he can take me in, can't save people, just before leaving, he helped me think of a way, asking for the master who can win the championship at the pilgrimage of the Ten Kingdoms in the future to intercede with the Emperor Taiwu, maybe he can open the net. Zhang San replied.
Wu Liang shook his head, "Isn't that a joke, who can win the championship at the pilgrimage, stomping his feet and the whole rivers and lakes tremble, how can he intercede for us, you don't know your senior brother's reputation." β
Zhang San was silent, he had thought of this just now, but when it was extremely dark, any bit of light wanted to be a guiding light, even if it was a firefly.
"Just now, I also had some news, someone asked me to steal the scriptures of the monk Tianzhu, saying that if you get the scriptures, you will ensure that your senior brother is okay. Wu Liang said with a solemn expression.
Scriptures, this Zhang San heard before he went down the mountain, countless forces covet things, just stealing the door itself is very competitive, more than a dozen branches of the north and south stealing the door, I don't know how many people have been dispatched, this difficulty is not less than that of seeking a master.
There was silence between the master and apprentice for a while, and Wu Liang's resentment came up.
"If this damn thing can really come out, I have to castrate him, how many people want to enter the Honglu Temple in the whole thief can't enter, he was the first to go in, the result is good, I didn't do anything, I slept with the Oriental girl in my arms, and put myself in......" Wu Liang was angry when he thought about it, and he held back his anger for a day, and no one told him, at this moment he rushed out to Zhang San, scolded for half an hour, Wu Qing couldn't listen to it, and ran to the side, but Zhang San didn't dare to go, so he could only listen honestly.
The senior brother said that this was his business, although he had no regrets. Waiting for Wu Liang to rest his breath, Zhang San said carefully.
"Don't listen to him blowing, his mouth is harder than a knife, and he is afraid of death and pain when he is young, even you are not as good as you, I don't know him yet..."
According to the content of Wu Liang's scolding, Tian Boguang should die a thousand times, even if he came out, it would be extremely tragic to fall into the hands of Wu Liang, which made Zhang San very worried.
But in the end, Wu Liang said: "In this way, let's go our separate ways, you can't let go of the prince's line, but he is Taiwu's grandson, and I will think of a way to write the scriptures." β
Zhang San was silent.
......
It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is upset.
There are tens of millions of people in Jingshi, and there are many people who can't sleep at night, but Lu Wan is definitely one of the most entangled among them.
Maybe it was because I slept too much during the day, or maybe it was because the picture of last night's entanglement never came and went and couldn't be closed, Lu Wan lay down several times, got up several times, and finally lay in front of the window to look at the stars.
Meteors penetrate the sparse wood, walk the moon retrograde clouds, the mood is not very good, Chang'e and Wu Gang are all following the peek-a-boo, Lu Wan sighed, remembering a song "Gao Tang Fu" that she learned when she was a teenager, and at that time she felt that the overnight romance of Wushan Yunyu was purely made up by the ancients, and she couldn't imagine that it really happened to her now.
It is impossible for Zhang San to start here, she clearly knows that Zhang San is not a good person, and there is a feeling of falling into the dust in a trance with him, because Zhang San is obvious, just her person, and Zhang San may not really be interested in herself, although the two have been together for a long time, but she has always been a little unclear about what kind of person Zhang San is.
The little prince Zhu Congzhi, she was panicked when she saw it now, and it was not impossible to hide it ruthlessly this time, but she had always been weird in her heart, especially when she saw Zhu Congzhi and Zhang San standing together during the day, she wanted to get angry inexplicably, so she argued with Zhang San because of Tian Boguang's matter.
She is not afraid that as soon as she enters the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, what she is afraid of is that there are two people in her heart, and she wants to kill Zhang San, kill her from the heart, and the moon will come out, Lu Wan is ruthless.
Miss Lu wanted to kill Zhang San from her heart at this time, but she was just sitting in the attic of the inn, with a pot of wine in front of her, drinking alone without a blind date.
Humming the Yimeng tune that he couldn't even hear clearly as an appetizer, Zhang San drank and sang two sentences, sang two sentences and took a sip, and before the two tunes were finished, he drunk himself.
The bells and drums are long at night, and the stars and rivers are about to dawn.
As soon as the night faded, Zhang San got up and went straight to Zhu Congzhi's mansion, although this mansion did not have the signboard of the palace, but the deep atmosphere of the high-rise mansion compound made people feel different, Lu Wan's mansion was also very large, but it was obviously inferior to this momentum.
Zhang San handed the name card to the guard at the door, saying that he had made an appointment with the little prince, but it didn't work, the guard gave Zhang San a door face, saying that before the prince went to court, there would be no guests in the house.
There was no way, Zhang San squatted opposite the door of the house and waited, this wait until the three poles of the day, and when it was almost time for lunch, the prince's sedan chair came back, which was different from Zhu Congzhi's small sedan chair, there were people in front of the road from afar, and there were two rows of guards with knives next to the sedan chair, and even the sedan chair man who carried the sedan chair looked like he was powerful, not like an ordinary employee.
The guards opened the courtyard gate in advance, and the prince's sedan chair went in without stopping, and when the gate was about to be closed again, Zhang San smiled and handed the post again, and pressed a piece of broken silver with two or two heavy.
"Wait a minute. The two guards looked a little pale, and one of them went in to report.
Not long after, Zhu Congzhi, who was wearing a green satin robe and a jade belt around his waist, came out with the guards in green clothes and hats.
This color matches Lu Wan very well, Zhang San thought silently in his heart.
"Virtuous brother, please come in!" Since yesterday's errand, Zhu Congzhi's title has become cordial, and he is no longer a young man and a young man, Zhang San can see that this little prince has some solicitation for himself, and intends to follow Meng Wei's style, otherwise he is a little thief, how can he be qualified to be a good brother of others.
Zhang San followed Zhu Congzhi into the mansion gate, the courtyard was full of flowers and pavilions, and there were three bluestone roads in front of him, and Zhu Congzhi took him to the rightmost one.
There were many people along the way, and I don't know how many people were waiting, seeing that Zhang San had been walking side by side with Zhu Congzhi, a passing family member coughed.
As a result, Zhu Congyi kicked up, "Don't make a move, this is my best brother in the rivers and lakes, and my lifelong friendship should be together." β
He didn't say that Zhang San didn't know yet, this said that Zhang San understood, people have a noble status, and they have to go forward, if it was before, Zhang San wouldn't care about this, but today he is asking someone to come, so he has to pay attention to it, so he is half a step behind.
Of course, Zhu Congzhi couldn't agree, so he took Zhang San's shoulders and walked all the way to a two-story small building, in front of which stood the long-legged Xu Jianglou and two maidservants, and when they saw the prince and Zhang San, they also greeted him.
After entering the house, the maidservant handed over the fruit plate and tea like a shuttle, and Zhang San had no intention of eating, so he directly inquired about the worship meeting.
Although he was drunk last night, he was not confused, thinking in his heart, it is difficult to ask for others, it is better to ask for himself, he also learned kung fu on a desert island, I heard that there are various competitions in the pilgrimage, if he can win the leader of a certain competition, then there is really hope.
Zhu Congzhi took out a piece of paper from his arms, and said with a smile: "The virtuous brother came at the right time, my father just came back from the court with this list, the Honglu Temple and the missions of various countries have drawn up the test project, and the first day of the next month officially began in the hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing, and the remaining ten days are the time to recruit participants, which is the detailed list of the competition items." β
Zhang San took a look, there are really many kinds, Wenbi is only one, "On the Dao", the rest is about martial arts, and it is divided into a lot of detailed subjects, only three light skills, which is what he is most concerned about.
The three light works are "1,000 steps to win the bid", "10,000 steps to win the bid" and "climb high to win the bid"
This Zhang San understands, he usually plays this with his sister when he practices light skills, it's very simple, it's just to put something in front of him, see who grabs it first, and climbing the mountain is estimated to be climbing the mountain, he is also good at this, he grew up on the top of Yunmeng Mountain, and climbing the mountain is as slippery as a monkey.
"There's good news again. Zhu Congzhi said.
Zhang San raised his head and saw Zhu Congzhi smiling, he was also excited, what he wanted to hear most now was good news.
"Wen Bi this item of the emperor's grandfather appointed Wang Yangming, who realized the Tao under Takeshita, this Wang Yangming is a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, equivalent to my father's protΓ©gΓ©, and I also have a little friendship, I heard Jiang Lou say that you and he also have a relationship, we ask him to be more sure than to ask for Wanting. β
This is indeed good news, thinking of Wang Yangming's beautiful face, he should be willing to help, but Zhang San still asked: "Little prince, can I participate in this pilgrimage?"
