Chapter 34: Meeting
Light Spring Building
It has been seven days since Xiaoxiao disappeared, and Lan Zishu has been frowning. In the past few days, the entire Taiping Sect has poured out of the nest in Bianliang, but there is not even any news from Xiaoxiao, which can make Lan Zishu, who is calm on weekdays, worried.
Xiaoxiao has accompanied Lan Zishu since she was a child, and although the two are masters and servants, they are actually like sisters. Xiaoxiao's disappearance, although it was to make Lan Zishu mess up, but he was also anxious for a while.
The nominal owner of the Danchun Building is the old bustard Xu's mother, that is, the woman who led Canglong to see Lan Zishu that day. Since Xiaoxiao's disappearance, she knows that Xiaoxiao has a great weight in the eyes of her master, and she has always been terrified, worried that if Xiaoxiao is not found, or a body is found, then her life will not last long.
Every day, the news from the Taiping Sect is through Xu Ma to show Lan Zishu, but nothing is found, so Lan Zishu loses her temper. Mother Xu was so anxious that she couldn't wait to go out to the whole city to find it herself, but she was limited to her own identity, and she had to assist the young lady in presiding over the affairs of the entire Bianliang Taiping Sect.
"Miss," Xu Ma trembled into Lan Zishu's boudoir, buried her head in the ground, and lacked confidence to speak.
"Is there any news from Xiaoxiao?" Lan Zishu asked lightly.
"Miss Hui's words, still no. Mother Xu didn't dare to look directly at Lan Zishu, and she was always uneasy.
"Hmph! It's all a bunch of rubbish, you tell Liu Qian and them, if there is no news in three days, they don't have to stay in Tokyo anymore. ”
When Xu Ma heard this, she shrank her neck in fright. The meaning of not having to stay in Tokyo City anymore is to make them disappear into this world, and there is only one way to disappear, which is to die!
"Yes, miss. ”
"Mother Xu, no matter what, I hope you take Xiaoxiao's matter to heart. Lan Zishu's eyes lit up and said in a deep voice.
"The subordinates obeyed. ”
"Alright, you go down, and let the other rudder splitters pay attention to it. ”
Mother Xu nodded, and then bowed and walked out of the house.
Lan Zishu was a little upset in her heart, in the past few days, she had planned to go back to Xiao Rin, the number one master of the Jin Palace, for a while, and then talk about the conditions for the King of Jin again, but after Xiao Xiao's incident, she put everything aside.
Looking at the bright lights outside the window, she was uneasy, and she couldn't think of anyone else in this Tokyo city who could fight Xiaoxiao. Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, had the strength to do this, but there was no reason, and his brother Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have insight into the matter between the Taiping Sect and the king of Jin, but he would not take a little maid to open the knife. Lan Zishu sighed sometimes and shook her head at times, but she couldn't figure out which side it was.
Mother Xu walked out of Lan Zishu's house, looking depressed all the time, and walked to the front of the building, but accidentally bumped into a man walking towards her.
She suddenly said angrily: "You don't have long eyes when you walk." ”
Subconsciously shattered, she raised her head to look at the man. At this glance, I caught a glimpse of the maid behind the man from the corner of his eye, and the maid was none other than Xiaoxiao.
Mother Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed to Xiaoxiao, took her hand and said eagerly: "Little girl, it's really you, you're finally back, Miss has been worried about you these days." ”
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Mother Xu, I'm back, it's okay." You've been worried about you for the past few days, I'll go see Miss here, you go and rest first. ”
Mother Xu swept away the haze in her heart, and then turned her eyes to Xiao Zuo beside Xiaoxiao, and wanted to ask suspiciously, but she didn't ask.
Xiaoxiao gave Mother Xu a reassuring look and said, "Mother Xu, don't worry, this son is going with me to see Miss." ”
"Little girl, go and see Miss, I won't bother. After finishing speaking, Xu's mother walked downstairs.
When Xiao Xiao and Xiao Zuo walked into Lan Zishu's room, Lan Zishu was in a daze. Seeing that his master was worried about his own affairs, Xiao was moved by his own affairs, and knelt down with a plop, "Miss, the slave is not good, so Miss is worried." ”
Lan Zishu turned her head and saw Xiao Xiao kneeling on the ground, a hanging heart let go, walked up to Xiao Xiao and helped her up, and asked with concern, "Xiao Xiao, are you okay?"
"Miss, I'm fine. Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears.
"It's good to come back, where have you been these days, and what else happened?" Lan Zishu asked in a deep voice, and it could be seen that she was very angry about this matter.
"What, Miss Lan, Miss Xiao has been a guest at my place these days, nothing serious. Xiao Zuo, who was standing on the side, said with a smile on his left face.
"Guest?" Lan Zishu's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Who are you?"
"Miss Lan doesn't remember when she is down?" Xiao Zuo met Lan Zishu's gaze and said, "Under Xiao Zuo." ”
"Xiao Zuo, it turned out to be you. Lan Zishu said: "No wonder I searched the entire Tokyo City but there was no trace of Xiao Xiao, it turned out that you hid her in the Honglu Temple." ”
Xiao Zuo's identity as an envoy of Jinling is not a secret to Lan Zishu. The tentacles of the Taiping Sect are all over Tokyo, and even if an official in Tokyo goes to the toilet, Lan Zishu knows it very well. It's just that she didn't expect that Xiao Xiao was actually taken captive by Xiao Zuo.
Although Lan Zishu has been fighting Jinling's idea, she has never thought that the Jinling Imperial Court knows her identity and purpose, and Jinling's largest intelligence agency, Shui Yunjian, is basically in her own hands, and if Li Yu has any movements, she can't hide it from her at all.
However, what kind of idea this Xiao Zuo was in front of her, she couldn't guess for a while.
"Miss, he is the little monk Daoxi in the Yongming Temple. Seeing Lan Zishu's puzzled face, Xiao reminded in a small voice.
It turned out to be him. Lan Zishu smiled slightly. If it was the little monk Daoxi back then, then did he kidnap Xiaoxiao to seek revenge on me, you must know that she participated in the siege back then, and Yanshou was also one of the participants.
"Are you trying to settle accounts with me?" Lan Zishu said lightly.
"The girl is serious. Xiao Zuo had already expected that Lan Zishu would think that he was here for the events of the year. But in fact, he didn't take the matter of the old man Shui and Jing Ming partnering with Lan Zishu in his heart at all. In his opinion, the grievances and hatreds between them, as well as good and evil, have nothing to do with him.
"I'm looking for a girl here, just for a deal. ”
"Deal?" Lan Zishu glanced at Xiao Zuo with amusement in her eyes, "What do you use to trade with me, and what do you want to trade." ”
Xiao Zuo thought for a while and said, "I know your idea of beating Lin Renzhao. ”
"Oh, how can you see it?" Xiao Zuo could guess that the Taiping Sect was fighting Lin Renzhao's idea, but this was beyond Lan Zishu's expectations, and her curiosity about Xiao Zuo couldn't help but add a little more.
"Celebrities don't say secret things, your sect wants to compete in the Central Plains, you and I know this. Lin Renzhao, as a heavy general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, can be said to be the last barrier for the Song army to cross the Yangtze River. I think that with the current situation of your religion, it does not have the strength to compete with other countries. Xiao Zuo said confidently.
Lan Zishu was noncommittal, but her eyes kept staring at Xiao Zuo curiously. Xiao Zuo didn't care about the other party's slightly playful eyes, and continued: "If I guessed correctly, your sect's strategy is to stop the Song State from dominating the world, and then take the opportunity to usurp the power of one of the other countries to develop. And Nantang is one of the goals in your plan. ”
Speaking of this, Lan Zishu's interest in Xiao Zuo is even stronger. She didn't expect that this little monk, who was once inconspicuous, would be able to analyze her plan as a rough idea. With this ability, he can also get enough attention from Lan Zishu.
"You seem to be smart, but what if I told you that I just had nothing to do and was boring. Lan Zishu smiled and said.
Xiao Zuo Muran, he didn't expect that since the other party gave him such an answer, could there be such a confident person in the world who could actually say that his ambition was a boring trivial matter.
"Lord Xiao, I should call you that now, right? ”
"It's better for the blue girl to call her name directly. Xiao Zuo couldn't grasp Lan Zishu's attitude for a while, so he had to follow her words.
"The little girl never deals with people, but it's rare to meet someone as interesting as you," Lan Zishu blinked and smiled, "Tell me about your purpose." ”
"Below is the invisible coming of water. Xiao Zuo has no power, nor does he have any strength, and in the end, when he thought of how to save the invisible water, he could only spread out his words directly.
And so it was. Lan Zishu had already guessed the purpose of the other party's visit since she knew that Xiao Zuo was the little monk back then, "If you want to see the water invisible water boy, it doesn't matter, but you need to promise me one condition." ”
"What conditions?" Xiao Zuo asked with a frown.
Lan Zishu walked to the window, her expression was mixed with a little loneliness, and said: "This game is still too boring, Xiao Zuo, why do you say people live, and what are they living for?"
Xiao Zuo didn't know what Lan Zishu meant by asking, so he said according to his understanding: "People live only to prove that they are alive, not for anything. ”
"Interesting. Lan Zishu savored Xiao Zuo's words, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the person in front of her who was only twenty years old was not simple, "It's really interesting, that's a good thing, I hope you can live forever." ”
"Don't worry, I'll live a good life forever. Xiao Zuo said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm a little tired today, I don't want to talk about anything anymore, Xiaoxiao, send Master Xiao for me. Lan Zishu stretched her waist and walked towards the bed, without looking at Xiao Zuo.
"Then ........." Xiao Zuo couldn't keep up with Lan Zishu's jumping thinking at all, didn't he talk about the conditions just now, why did he give an eviction order without saying anything in a blink of an eye.
"Lord Xiao, this is Tokyo, not Jinling, if you want to see the water boy, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and the little woman can't help. Lan Zishu said lightly.
"So, are you kidding me?" Xiao Zuo asked unhappily.
"Don't dare," Lan Zishu took off her shoes and socks regardless of Xiao Zuo's presence in the venue, pillowed on the side of the bed, and said, "When you go back to Jinling, let's talk about it." I hope you leave Tokyo alive, though. ”
