Chapter 9 Masquerade - Uncle Shi

☆☆☆

The old man showed Chris the way back to the palace, and walked west along the Bianhe River to see the city gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info The early morning wind was gently blowing, Xiong Daiying carried her on her back and ran fast in the morning light, and Chris felt that the air he breathed was a little unfamiliar. After falling into the water last time, Zhang Ruoshui also carried her and galloped over, but the speed was different from the current one. Xiong Daiying walked faster and faster, and later, Chris only felt the wind in his ears, like a cloud driving through a fog. She sighed in her heart: Xiong Daiying's light skills are so powerful.

Chris didn't return for one night, and the situation after returning to the palace can be imagined.

As soon as you enter the room, you can feel the heavy atmosphere, Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui are both blue, Liang Weijian lowered her head, and then looked at Xing Yun's swollen eyes, Chris also knew what she looked like when she heard that she had an accident and cried yesterday.

Chris sat down, took a sip of the soothing soup that Xing Yun came up, and then told what happened after leaving the palace, only hiding the poisoning of himself.

When Tang Ping's name was mentioned, Zhang Ruoshui and Lan Yuanzhen's faces changed, and they glanced at each other. Then I heard Chris ask directly: "Did you say that I stopped the holy car last time and offended the official family?"

But after thinking about it, this emperor is also careful, so he will hold a grudge. And such a trivial matter the size of a sesame mung bean, would he use the masters of the Tang Sect to hunt down and kill himself?

Lan Yuanzhen said in a deep voice: "Since this matter involves the official family, the ministers will send someone to inquire clearly, and then make a conclusion." ”

Chris didn't know about the group of dead soldiers besieging the shadow guards, but she also faintly sensed something from Lan Yuanzhen's words.

She glanced at Xiong Daiying, who was kneeling in the hall, and said firmly: "It happened suddenly, and I was not injured, nothing happened at all, so don't punish Xiong Daiying." ”

Zhang Ruoshui didn't speak, but asked to check her pulse. When I touched it, I found that the pulse was solid and powerful, calm and not floating, and the master's body was even better than the last time he called the pulse.

Chris hurriedly said that the person who saved him was Yuwen Zhishao.

Zhang Ruoshui nodded, as if relieved, and sighed: "Fortunately, it's him!"

Thinking of the chic and handsome figure like a fairy, Chris asked Zhang Ruoshui, "Does Ruoshui know him?"

Zhang Ruoshui said: "This Yuwen Shao is a master of the Xuanzhen School, to speak, he and Weichen are also regarded as the same sect in the Tao, but he is the minister's uncle in terms of seniority."

Chris was surprised: "He's so young that he's your uncle?"

"When the Taoist of Tsing Yi met Shao of Yuwen, he was only nine years old, and the Taoist of Tsing Yi has passed the age of tea life, and the difference between the two is a hundred years, but the Taoist of Tsing Yi is determined to accept him as a disciple of the closed door, Shao of Yuwen is a martial arts genius who has obtained his true inheritance, and now he is forty years old, and he has been a great achievement in martial arts, and his magic is self-accomplished, and he is called 'Mr. Zhizhi' on the rivers and lakes. Zhang Ruoshui said: "Weichen, but he is only four years older." And he is indeed quite senior, even Uncle Cao Xiaoguo has to call him 'Uncle Shi'!"

Chris was dumbfounded and thought: No wonder Brother Cao said yesterday that their relationship was more than that simple. But how can a forty-year-old look like a twenty-year-old, she remembered the rather young and handsome face of the old man under the mask, and couldn't help but say to herself: "Could it be that their faction has any magic skills?"

After talking for a while, Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui retreated,

Chris didn't expect that the two not only accepted their decision, but also had a rather indifferent attitude. As usual, Lan Yuanzhen would definitely be talking to himself for a while, but he didn't say anything today, and he was a little surprised.

Xing Yun served Chris to bed, she really needed to rest.

Chris rested here, and Zhang Ruoshui and Lan Yuanzhen returned to the side hall.

At this time, in the side hall, the phantom had a bandage on his shoulder, and her brother Lianying walked to Xiong Daiying's side with her, and the three of them knelt down together: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the adults." ”

Lan Yuanzhen said coldly: "Since the master has been amnestied, this time I will leave your little life first." Fortunately, the master's body is fine, otherwise even if you die a thousand times, it will be useless, you need to make up for the merits, and you must be more careful in the future, if there is another mistake, you will not be spared!"

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

Zhang Ruoshui said: "Tell me about the man in black who fought with you." ”

Xiong Daiying said: "We secretly followed the master, to the suburbs of the jujube forest, suddenly a dozen or so people in black jumped out at once, we wanted to fight quickly, but found that there were more and more people, and behind the trees, there were also some crossbow shooters drilled out of the soil, obviously ambushed in advance." These people are not as good as us in martial arts, but they don't care about life or death, we immediately understood that their purpose is to entangle us, and their subordinates killed a bloody road and rushed to the master's side, at this time, Mr. Zhizhi suddenly appeared, rushed in front of me, and saved the master first. ”

After Dai Ying broke through, after a while, those men in black suddenly withdrew. Lianying and I slashed a few, and we wanted to catch them alive, but they all took poison and committed suicide. And the wound on my sister's shoulder was also poisoned. Lianying glanced at the wound on her sister's shoulder.

Zhang Ruoshui nodded: "The poison in the phantom's shoulder is really powerful, I have used an ice needle for her, she should not have to worry about her life, but she needs to recuperate for a while." ”

Lian Ying said: "When we found Dai Ying's signal and followed it, knowing that the master was saved, he asked the two of us to go back to the palace one step ahead of schedule to report to the two adults about the attack on the Queen Mother." ”

Lan Yuanzhen sighed and said, "When I sent the people from the Imperial City Division to rush to Zaolin, the corpses of those black-clothed people and Tang Ping's corpses were all gone, and not even a drop of blood seeping into the soil was found, as if nothing had happened." ”

The three shadow guards were surprised, looked at each other, and Xiong Daiying suddenly remembered something: "The kung fu of these black-clothed people seems to be from the Northwest Road." ”

Zhang Ruoshui's eyes flashed, thoughtful.

Lan Yuanzhen said: "Shi Ying has just returned from the Northwest Road, do you want to ask him?"

Zhang Ruoshui shook his head and said, "No matter what martial arts or poison they use, the people who can send so many dead soldiers at once must be people from this imperial city!"

Hearing that Lan Yuanzhen was silent, what Zhang Ruoshui said was not wrong at all.

After asking a few more detailed questions, Zhang Ruoshui said: "The phantom is poisoned, go back to recuperate first." Shadow your ......"

Lianying held his chest archer, raised his hands above his head, and said, "Lianying is willing to guard his master and atone for his crimes!"

"You and Dai Ying guard the master, I will ask Lord Shiying to allocate people to strengthen the guard!"

With that, the three of them retreated.

The two sat for a long time without speaking, and the silent needles in the temple could be heard.

After a long time, Lan Yuanzhen sighed and said, "Today's events are weird. The people who were lying next to the emperor came to report, Tang Ping did not go back to restore his life, and the official family has been sitting on pins and needles, and his mind is restless. If this is aimed at the queen mother, I still can't understand why the official family did this? Although the master is not as fond of him as the second prince, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is understandable that the master is strict with him. Not to mention their deep mother-son relationship, I have never seen them blush for so many years. Besides, now that he has just ascended the throne, he also needs a lot of support from his master, how can he act recklessly? But if he is aimed at Lan Yuanxiao, why would he use such a large number of dead soldiers to make a move?"

Zhang Ruoshui said: "If you really respond to what Mao Ze said, the death of the first emperor, the master is in a coma, and the official family and the empress dowager are inseparable......"

"If today's incident is really that the official family and the empress dowager want to get rid of the master, then the master has to be heartbroken. ”

Zhang Ruoshui's eyes darkened, and he said bitterly: "Don't tell the master about this for the time being, so as to save her sadness." ”

"This is by no means a good thing, but how long can we hide it?" Lan Yuanzhen said, "Next, let's act according to the plan, let the master go out of the palace to avoid it first, and see if the layout this time can lead them to do it! Even if there is a mistake, it is Zhu'er's cheap maid who prevents this disaster for the master." ”

When he woke up again, Chris found that he had slept until dusk.

She had a long dream in which she dreamed of her father.

The father, who gave her half Chinese ancestry, had never been seen by Chris before she was three years old, and of course her mother had asked her to say hello to her father during video chat, but this recognition was limited to the fact that she had a father who was far away in the United States, a biological father.

As soon as her third birthday passed, her mother took her from London to San Francisco to reunite with her father. Chris met his real father for the first time, he was tall and muscular, not at all like the Orientals that little Chris usually saw. However, he has the unique and elegant bookish atmosphere of the Chinese, leisurely and generous. Lan Shien was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan in 1967, his family is poor, but he writes the story of the contemporary "talented man from ancient times".

Lan Shien has been curious since he was a child, and his arithmetic scores are outstanding, and he can solve high school math problems in the first grade of primary school, and he also excels in other subjects. Participating in the International Mathematics Olympiad in junior high school made him famous and was regarded as a mathematical prodigy. When he took advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with more advanced knowledge in the world, he was like a high-power vacuum cleaner, absorbing all kinds of knowledge one by one with great efficiency.

In the early nineties, he was hired as a professor of mathematics at Stanford University at a young age. In the remarks full of various apocalyptic prophecies, Lan Shien ushered in his thirty-third year, and he didn't expect that this year would also usher in his love. He met Michelle Smith, who had come to San Francisco for a fashion show, and the two fell in love at first sight. Even though they have very different personalities and have a huge gap in their own lives, they can't stop the hot relationship between the two. From marriage proposal to engagement to wedding, just like Professor Lan dealt with mathematical problems, it was solved efficiently. The following year, the millennial baby was born.

When he first saw his father, Chris may have been attracted by Lan Shien's mysterious and wonderful temperament just like his mother back then. After living together, Lan Shien witnessed his wife's Western-style education of "herding sheep", he couldn't stand it anymore, and began to pay special attention to the education of little Chris, and began to cultivate Chris in the style of "tiger dad", while Chris worked hard to become the proudest and proudest daughter in his father's mind. Chris learned Chinese and practiced calligraphy, and Lan Shien also took her back to Taiwan, where she not only met relatives in her father's hometown, but also ate food, visited her hometown, and visited museums, which was one of the most memorable beautiful journeys of Chris's childhood. After that, the father and daughter agreed to travel together every other year during the summer vacation. And this agreement was not implemented a few times, and Lan Shien became very heavy because of his work, and he had no time to take care of Chris.

It wasn't until Chris was thirteen years old that the accident happened, and after much consideration, his mother decided to take Chris back to England. And Chris's condition improved slightly, so he let his little uncle Mark, who was a fanatical Chinese kung fu fan, teach him to practice boxing and learn martial arts.

When Lan Shien saw Chris again, he found that her appearance had changed, her black hair had turned into blonde hair, which reflected her blue eyes even more, her body was strong, she had grown a lot taller, and even her inside was becoming more and more like a "foreigner". He deeply felt his daughter's alienation, not only in appearance, but in mental tendencies, and she seemed to have become indifferent to everything. Lan Shien still uses the way father and daughter get along before, but Chris doesn't want to play a good girl anymore. Chris, who had excellent grades in school, felt that he didn't have to study hard, and several drops in grades made Lan Shien very angry. When you encounter some trivial things in life, you will also be verbosed by your father.

Chris opted for an effective means of evasion. She thought that maybe going to the other side of the American map was the best way to escape this trouble. In high school, she asked her mother to help her transfer to New York, and her mother asked Mark to go with her. Walking in a city full of huge buildings and exploring the boundless world of desire, Chris is completely free. She and Mark spend all day drinking and indulging their desires, and this "freedom" is like black magic, which makes people immersed in it. As her reputation in Vanity Fair grew, she began to throw extravagant and drunken parties, which everyone flocked.

Until one day when she woke up from her dream and found herself lying in a bed with a strange man, a dog and a gun, what frightened her the most was that the gun was open and pointed right in her face...... Falling into the darkness and finding himself again, although old-fashioned, it is indeed a true portrayal of many rich people, Chris finally faced up to his life and path, worked hard, and established a company. The only constant is her relationship with her father, and as she deliberately neglects, the two drift further apart.

Chris thought to himself, what would it be like if his father traveled to the Song Dynasty? What would he do? If he couldn't go back, I believe that his father would never be helpless, and he would definitely do something to affect future generations and change the pattern of the world.

After dinner, Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui came to see Chris again. Lan Yuanzhen offered to let her live in the palace as Lan Yuanxiao for a while, and then take her back when the emperor was angry.

Although Chris didn't know the original intention of their arrangement, this matter was exactly what she wanted, and she hurriedly agreed.

Only Xing Yun bowed his head and remained silent, frowning.

Seeing Xing Yun's appearance of wanting to speak, Chris only felt 120,000 cute, and she smiled and said, "Little Xing Yun, do you want to go out of the palace with me?"

Xing Yun lowered his head and flattened his mouth, and after hearing this for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "The Queen Mother wants to take Xing Yun out of the palace together?"

Chris squinted at Lan Yuanzhen.

Lan Yuanzhen smiled, and then said to Xing Yun: "There is no one to serve the master closely, you have to take care of it these days!"

"Slaves and maids can be saved, slaves and maids can be saved. After that, he happily helped the master pack up the soft clothes he wanted to bring.

By the time we were packed, it was already dark.

The next day, before dawn, the gate of the Northern Imperial City slowly opened, and a carriage drove leisurely to the northwest.
