Chapter 5 Involvement in Right and Wrong
There is a saying: there is no panic in the stomach and no panic in the heart.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of dry cakes and adding water, Bai Canghai's complexion was obviously better, and then he looked up at the two who were talking, and saw that the little girl was not tall, and she was petite and delicate in brocade, about a teenager. And the old man was fat, and there was a black mole at the corner of his mouth, which made his originally honest face a little more hideous.
As a bystander, Bai Canghai vaguely felt that this seemingly loyal old housekeeper might not be a good person after listening to the conversation of the old man and the young man.
Because it can be seen from his words and outside that he seems to be playing the little girl's words, and the little girl who he calls the 'county lord' is unaware of this.
If he hadn't deliberately coughed to remind her earlier, this stupid county lord would have told the truth about the whereabouts of that 'spirit bead'.
Especially after being interrupted by himself, Steward Su's face clearly showed a hint of murderous intent, although he concealed it well, but he was still seen by the vigilant Bai Canghai.
Now that he has listened to this Steward Su's words to sow discord, Bai Canghai knows that he is not giving up, and wants to separate others and win the trust of the little county lord.
Bai Canghai couldn't help but be a little worried, worried that this little county lord would be deceived and really tell the whereabouts of the jewel.
Bai Canghai had the heart to remind her, but this Steward Su was next to him, and his every move was watched by him, once he saw through it, he was afraid that he would put himself and the little girl in danger together.
So I could only pretend not to hear, slowly swallow the food in my mouth, and watch it change.
After all, Bai Canghai had only eaten a little bit at this time, and his body had only recovered a little bit of strength, and there was no trace of self-preservation power in the hands of Steward Su.
Sure enough, just as Bai Canghai expected, after listening to Steward Su's words to sow discord, the little county lord suddenly ran out of ideas, and didn't know who to believe, so he asked in a panic: "How is this good? If it is really Master Mo who betrayed his father, wouldn't we be even more dangerous? He is a congenital master, and it is said that he is about to break through his cultivation and become an immortal master......
Steward Su comforted her and said, "The county lord doesn't have to worry, the old slave, I just fought for this old life, and I also want to protect the safety of the county lord." For now, we can only escape this catastrophe if we rush to Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible and find Master Zhengyi, the abbot of Nanshan Temple. ”
Hearing this, the little county lord was relieved, only to hear the steward Su say again: "The prince and Master Zhengyi are close friends, and the name of the county lord was given by him at the beginning, and Master Yi of that day stepped into the ranks of immortal masters as early as ten years ago, and now only he can protect the safety of the county lord and the water spirit bead......"
"......" The little county lord didn't speak, just nodded silently, and Steward Su's words were exactly what her father told her repeatedly when she was parting with her father.
It's just that Steward Su doesn't know that the real identity of Master Zhengyi, the host of Nanshan Temple, is the uncle of the little county lord and the brother of the prince, named Nangong Zhengqian, and the name of Nangong Zhengkun, who is side by side with one word.
More than 20 years ago, it was these two brothers who worked together to assist the second prince Yu Wenhao at that time to ascend the throne, which led to the current Nanyan lord and the king of Nangong Zhengkun.
It's just that later, for some reason, Nangong Zhengqian did not enter the court as an official, but came to Zhongnan Mountain and became a monk in Nanshan Temple.
The reason is a bit complicated, Nangong Zhengkun did not explain it to the lord of this small county, but when the lives of the people in the palace were worried, he told her to go to Nanshan Temple to find her eldest Bo Nangong Zhengqian for refuge......
"County master, the old slave has a saying, I don't know if to say it or not?" After a slight hesitation, Steward Su spoke again.
"Butler, but it doesn't hurt to say!"
"You and I are going, I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance to return to the royal city again, why don't the county lord take the water spirit bead and take it with ......you?
'Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......'
Without waiting for Steward Su to finish speaking, Bai Canghai, who had listened to a rough idea, suddenly squirted out the food in his mouth, as if he had been choked, and coughed non-stop.
was interrupted by Bai Canghai, and the little girl's attention really fell on him again, and she walked back quickly, asking about Bai Canghai's situation with concern.
And Steward Su's face was completely cold, and he was interrupted by Bai Canghai one after another, which already made him a little unbearable.
Bai Canghai secretly complained in his heart, not because he was intentionally involved in this right and wrong, but because the current situation had forced him to do so.
If the little county lord told the secret, this Steward Su would immediately turn his face. At that time, not only the life of the little county lord could not be saved, but even he himself could not escape death.
Because Bai Canghai suddenly thought that the conversation between the two did not seem to avoid or conceal himself from beginning to end, the little county lord may be innocent and have no heart to defend against others, but what about Steward Su? The reason why he did not avoid himself was that he had long had the intention of killing people and killing his mouth, and he had long regarded himself as a dead man.
In the face of a dying person, is it necessary to hide anything from him?
Bai Canghai believed that once he knew the whereabouts of the spirit bead, the death date of himself and the little girl would come, so he had to pretend to be choked by food and interrupt the conversation between the two again.
"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you!" Seeing that Bai Canghai was coughing badly, the little county lord took out his handkerchief and gently stuffed it into Bai Canghai's hand.
Bai Canghai thanked him quietly, looked up at the sky outside the temple gate that had darkened, and then relaxed a little.
Judging from the current situation, these two people are afraid that they will spend the night here tonight, so if Steward Su wants to pretend to be a good person, he will definitely not kill himself in front of the little county lord, and it seems that he can live one more night.
Bai Canghai secretly pondered, it seemed that only when the two of them were asleep at night could he escape alive.
The cold wind came through the door, and the little girl shivered.
Steward Su took off his cloak and draped it on his body, turned his head to look at the sky outside, and pondered for a while before saying to the little county lord: "County lord, it is now the winter season, and the night is cold, and you will go out to collect some straw and dry firewood for heating in the middle of the night." ”
Hearing this, Bai Canghai's heart moved, and he secretly said that his opportunity had come, just in time to escape from this place while Steward Su was temporarily leaving, but he heard the little county lord reply: "I'll go with you." ”
"No, no, no. Steward Su stopped the little county lord's kindness, "It's already the fault of the old slave to let the county lord suffer here, how can you let the county lord deign to do those tasks below......?"
Steward Su said, and without waiting for the little county lord to speak again, he pushed open the temple door and walked out.
The little county lord just wanted to chase him out of the door, but was left behind by Bai Canghai waving his hand.
