Chapter 38: A dilemma

Pan Cheng'er opened the door and saw Tang Kuo ink pouting, and seemed a little unhappy.

Tang Kuo ink said angrily: "Is she so good, I want you to be so concerned..."Pan Cheng'er woke up in a daze, in a half-dreaming state, so that Tang Kuo ink and wash was Liu Zihan in her sleep, this time she said it, her mind was clear, and she blushed for a while, and said: "No... Not...... Why don't you sleep yet?"

Tang Kuo ink said: "Won't you ask me to come in and sit?" Pan Cheng'er smiled bitterly: "You... Come in and sit~" Tang Kuo snorted and said, "I'm not going in!" said and turned his head and walked out. Pan Cheng'er hurriedly chased after him: "No, no, no, I'm not ......" said that the two of them walked out of the gate of the inn and came to the street.

At this time, it was already a child, the drum beat the third watch, and the Yanjing City was lonely, and it was pitch black in all directions, and the road could only be distinguished by the moonlight. The occasional owl call added to the silence and mystery of the night.

Pan Cheng'er chased Tang Kuo's ink for a while, and it was easy to catch up with Tang Kuo's ink with his foot strength. It's just that even if he caught up, he didn't think about what to say for a while, so he followed her and paced slowly.

I saw Liu Zihan come to a giant pine, sit on a stone bench next to the tree, pull out a flute from his waist and put it next to his mouth, press the palace to lead the dead, and play it by himself.

When Pan Cheng'er saw her stop, he didn't come forward to disturb her, so he sat down with her and listened to her play.

Tang Kuo's ink painting was played at the beginning, the melody was excited, as if he was very angry, the rhythm was high and low, and the changes were endless, as if he was going to eat people alive, which made Pan Cheng'er a little afraid. After a stick of incense, the tune slowly calms down, but the melody is inevitably too sad, the tune is endless, soft and continuous, left and right, sometimes upset, sometimes sad. Pan Cheng'er sat on the side, as if he had remembered all the sad things in the past ten years, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his chest.

Pan Cheng'er said: "Ink, you..." only heard the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Tang Kuo Ink said lightly: "Why, don't you like to listen to it, do you..." Is there a more cheerful tune?" Tang Kuo's ink eyebrows sank, and said: "You think about others in your heart, how can I be happy..."

Pan Cheng'er was shocked, he never expected Tang Kuo ink to speak like this. When I heard it at this time, I couldn't help but smell the sourness, and I only felt that the girl in front of me seemed to be soaked in vinegar. Pan Cheng'er knew her intentions, and felt it from Tang Kuo's ink painting outside the Golden Palace that he would play music for himself every day. He just felt incredible, at that time, etiquette was very strict, and it was a loss of propriety to dip one's clothes and bare sleeves, how could a girl talk like this? He and Liu Zihan grew up together since childhood, although they had intentions for each other, but the two of them never mentioned a word and a half, although the two of them were indeed still young, mainly because of the etiquette and shame at that time.

Pan Cheng'er said: "Zihan she... She treats me very well... How can I forget..."Tang Kuo ink said angrily: "Isn't it good for me to treat you!" Pan Cheng'er hurriedly said: "No, no, you also treat me very well, but..."Tang Kuo ink said: "Just what...... During the day, I listened to the master... Pan Cheng'er, if one day Liu Zihan and I can only survive and stay by your side, who will you choose?"

Pan Cheng'er was confused when she landed in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer her, so she was stunned in place. He and Liu Zihan are childhood sweethearts, they grew up together since childhood, and they are good to each other. Liu Zihan is gentle and beautiful, but she reveals a strong and calm in her bones. Tang Kuo's ink painting is lively and lovely, although it looks extremely brutal and willful on the outside, but in fact, it is kind and weak in need of protection, and the two have diametrically opposite personalities. I only knew Liu Zihan as a girl before, and I only felt that she was the only one in the world, and only she was like her

Sort it out. At this time, a Tang Kuo ink suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, he didn't know how, but he was panicked. If you want to say that you want to leave Tang Kuo's ink, you are very reluctant. If you want to leave Liu Zihan behind, it will never be possible. He just doesn't know that he is still young, but he can't tell the difference between liking and loving.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Tang Kuo snorted and said, "Then I'll go!" Pan Cheng'er said, "No... What's the problem!" He scratched his head and said helplessly: "Otherwise, if you both are alive, will I die?"

Tang Kuo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to answer like this, he couldn't help laughing, pursed his lips and laughed, and said with a smile: "Who wants you to die~" Pan Cheng'er saw her laughing, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night to come to my house, won't it be for this..."

When Tang Kuo heard this, he paused, sighed, and said, "Do you know what the master did with that jade seal?" Pan Cheng'er said: "What happened to the jade seal?" Did the master say something to you?"

Tang Kuo sat down on the stone bench and said, "The master told me during the day that I entered the palace this time just to steal the jade seal for a while, scare the emperor, and let him know that it is against the sky to invade other countries without incident, and it is not okay to do it." How do you know that a few days ago I met Wan Yan Yong, the master and him are very compatible, this Wan Yan Yong has great ambitions, and is sympathetic and worried, the master thinks he is suitable to be the emperor, so he gave the jade seal to Wan Yan Yong!"

"Ah, the burden that the master gave him during the day is the jade seal!" Pan Cheng'er was taken aback, then smiled, shook his head and said: "This is the master, you may not know much about it, he is this strange temper, he is what he wants, no one can do anything about him." ”

Tang Kuo smiled and said, "I can also see it today, and if I follow such a master in the future, I will not be lonely." Both smiled.

Tang Kuo ink continued: "The master said to me: 'Xiao Nizi, I like your character very much, and I am willing to accept you as an apprentice. But I don't like to deceive people, King Hailing is mediocre and unreasonable, and the minister of Jin is full of complaints, and he is extremely dissatisfied. Of course, what has become of your Jin Kingdom has nothing to do with me, it's just that this emperor is insatiable and tries to raise troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, but I can't sit idly by. I met him a few days ago, and he is a good man! He has courage and ambition, and most importantly, he thinks about the people and opposes war, which is really rare. So today I gave him the jade seal for the teacher, and sooner or later one day he rebelled and became the emperor and wiped out all the thieves in the palace, including your father. I've told you the truth, I don't need to tell you much about what kind of person your father is, and I don't make many evaluations to distort your cognition. If Yan Yong rebels one day, the master will wish him a helping hand as a friend, which means that he will go against your father. You haven't passed the test yet, and you're not yet an official disciple of my Ancient City Sect. So, how you choose, it's up to you. If you want to leave now, I will never stop you, you can make your own decisions. After the master finished speaking, he left, but my heart was in turmoil... What am I going to do...... Although that person... That's for me, but he's my real father after all... I... I really don't know what to do..."

Pan Cheng'er said: "Do you still love your father in your heart?"
