Chapter 40: The Palace
Miao Ling said angrily: "You don't pretend to be confused here, your ambition is not small, and revenge has come here." Say, how did you find here?"
Zilong remembered that she had bitten herself with a poisonous snake before, and a wave of anger surged up, and he said evilly: "I'm too lazy to look for you so far, I came here to do something important." ”
"It's not the best to come to me, and I don't want to see you again in the future!" said Miao Ling and walked outside the temple.
"Wait, you still stole my sword and didn't return it to me, this one in your hand is, leave the sword behind before you can leave!" Zilong stopped her and said.
Miao Ling was so angry that she smoked, but she just took into account that this was their holy land, suppressed her anger and said: "Today, this girl is not as knowledgeable as you, let you go, you still don't know what to do, the sword is a good sword, this girl has already taken her for herself, it is impossible to return it to you, you still die of this heart!"
Zilong said angrily: "You...... You don't pretend to be here, and you say that you don't have the same knowledge as me, let me go, why didn't you see you 'let me go' when the ** poisonous snake wanted to bite us to death?"
"You also killed my two guards!" Miao Ling said: "Those poisonous snakes will bite only when they smell blood, and if you kill my people, the snake bite you will still be light!"
"You still have to quibble? You released the poisonous snake and tied us up there, and blamed us for escaping? Do we have to apologize to you for being poisoned by the snake......? Zilong was in the temple, and he subconsciously didn't want to scold her with obscene words, but the look on his face was as if he was about to catch Miao Ling and teach her a hard lesson.
Where did Miao Ling eat his set, and said angrily: "Okay, don't think that this girl is afraid of you, when you humiliate me, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!
After saying that, Miao Ling dodged and ran out of the mosque, and Zilong followed out without hesitation.
Miao Ling stood on the street outside the mosque, crossed his hands on his hips, and looked at Zilong who ran out from behind.
Zilong said angrily: "I want you to look good today!"
Miao Ling sneered: "Stinky boy, don't look at whose territory this is, you are not qualified to do it with me here, hum!"
Zilong was curious, only to see Miao Ling whistle, and more than a dozen big men ran out of the tea house opposite, and suddenly gathered behind Miao Ling, and asked respectfully: "Young Gang Master, what's the matter? What's wrong with this kid?"
Miao Ling said coldly: "This kid came to trouble me, you teach me a lesson!"
In fact, Zilong and Miao Ling don't have any enmity with each other, but they just feel that she is rude and rude, and she is very unhappy when she repeatedly goes against herself, if he wants him to kill Miao Ling, it is not his original intention, now seeing that she has a large number of people, he thought: A good man does not suffer immediate losses, and he will settle accounts with you in the future, so he shouted: "Don't move!" Zilong was just about to say something decent, Miao Ling shouted: "Call me!"
Zilong thought to himself that he was in someone else's territory, so it was better not to cause trouble, and there were so many people on the other side, Miao Ling's kung fu was not weak, he had an idea at the moment, turned around and ran, and when he looked back, everyone was already shouting and catching up, and Miao Ling laughed and chased after him.
A group of people and horses passed in front of him during the wild running, Zilong looked up and suddenly saw a person on the horse, his heart was like a bell slamming, his mouth was almost out of breath, and he suddenly stopped, and his legs could no longer take a step!
At this time, she was dressed in casual clothes, and she looked more fresh and beautiful than the women in Shaolin Temple dressed as men. She rode side by side with the leader of the horse team, like a hibiscus out of water, charming and capable.
Since Zilong and Miss Wan'er were separated from Shaolin Temple, whenever he thinks of Miss Wan'er's voice and smile, he is always excited. During this time, he also took the silk handkerchief that Wan'er had used for him countless times, seeing things and thinking about people, thinking about what it would be like to meet Wan'er girl again, but he didn't expect to see it today, but he was hunted down.
Zilong smiled, but he couldn't say a word.
At this time, Wan'er also saw Zilong standing in front of her, she didn't seem to believe her eyes, and immediately widened her eyes to see clearly, but two pieces of red glow brushed her cheeks, and she could see that she was also very excited, her eyes didn't seem to dare to look at Zilong but she was reluctant to look, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak!
Miao Ling and the others ran over without caring about seeing the horse team, and when they saw that Zilong was not running, they pushed him to the ground.
Wan'er was taken aback and shouted, "Stop!" Miao Ling was proud, and when she heard the shout, she looked up, and she didn't know Wan'er, but she recognized the leader who was with Wan'er, it was Sun Jingwen, the head of the Anhua Palace, who didn't dare to mess around anymore, and smiled at Sun Jingwen with both hands and fists: "Ling'er has seen Manager Sun!"
Sun Jingwen smiled: "Okay, good." This time, we were ordered by King An to send rice and grain to the Hui people, and now we have just returned. He turned to Wan'er and said, "Miss, this is Miss Ling'er, the young gang leader of the Fengyue Gang, the largest gang of the Hui people." He turned around and said to Ling'er, "Miss Ling'er, come and see King An's daughter-Miss Wan'er!"
The person chasing Zilong heard that it was King An's daughter who shouted to stop, how dare he not give face, and immediately let go of Zilong, Zilong looked at Wan'er stupidly like a dream, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard someone say that Wan'er was the daughter of King An.
King An has always been very kind to the Hui people, lenient in governance, and has a very high reputation in the hearts of the Hui people, Miao Ling bowed and said: "Miao Ling to meet Miss Wan'er, we Fengyue Gang thank An Wangfu for taking care of our Hui people for so many years, if it were not for King An, our Hui people's life would not be as good as it is now, and all our Hui people will remember King An's kindness." ”
Wan'er said with a smile: "Miss Miao is serious, these are what my father and King An's Mansion should do." ”
Miao Ling said solemnly: "Since the Hui riot occurred in Fengxiang Mansion in Shaanxi Province 21 years ago, the imperial court has raised the tax rate of the Hui people across the country by one percent, and the Hui people have fallen into poverty.
"Miss Miao don't have to be polite," Wan'er said with a smile: "The responsibility for that riot was only the work of a small part of the Hui people, and the Hui people all over the country should not be implicated!"
Miao Ling smiled at Wan'er, and Sun Jingwen said with a smile: "The Fengyue Gang is the largest gang of the Hui people, and in recent years, the Ma Gang leader has governed the Fengyue Gang in an orderly manner, helped many Hui people, and also took in many orphans, and has also made a great contribution to the stability of our Ningxia." ”
Wan'er also smiled: "I have also admired the name of the Fengyue Gang for a long time, and my father has mentioned the Ma Gang Master many times, saying that she is a heroine among women, and also said that if there is a chance, I must invite the Ma Gang Master to our house as a guest!"
Miao Lingxi said: "Thank you for the compliment, and please tell the prince that the Fengyue Gang also welcomes the prince to come as a guest!"
Wan'er said again: "Okay, thank you for the good intentions of the young helper, I will definitely tell my father, by the way, Miss Miao, this Xu Shaoxia ......" She pointed to Zilong and said: "He is my friend, and he has a life-saving grace for me." I don't know how he offended the young gang leader, but please let him go for the sake of my face, okay?"
Miao Ling didn't expect Wan'er to meddle in this matter, at this time, no matter what happened, she had to give her face, so she clasped her fists and saluted: "Of course, since he is Miss Wan'er's friend, let him go, let's go!" and then took his men to say goodbye to Wan'er.
Zilong looked at Wan'er with a very embarrassed expression, and Sun Jingwen smiled: "Miss, this young man is your friend?"
Wan'er also reacted, "Oh, yes, he saved my life when he was in Shaolin Temple. ”
Zilong laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to remember the girl......"
Wan'er said shyly: "Is Xu Shaoxia willing to sit in the Wangfu of An, I ...... I haven't thanked Shaoxia for saving my life. ”
Zilong already knew that Wan'er was the daughter of King An, and he didn't feel a trace of inferiority, and hesitated in his heart, and then looked at Wan'er, her eyes clearly showed a look of attachment and longing, and there was no hesitation, nodding and saying, "Okay!"
Back at the Anhua Palace, Sun Jingwen immediately went in to tell King An, and Wan'er led Zilong to the living room.
Zilong muttered, "I thought... I thought I'd never see you again. ”
Wan'er smiled: "Didn't we see each other now? Last time you were injured by the man in black in Shaolin Temple, how is it now?"
"It's already good," Zilong smiled, "I didn't expect you to remember." ”
"How could I forget, you are also here to save me. Wan'er said, "What are you busy with these days?"
"It's looking for my mother everywhere, this time I came to Ningxia to find my mother. Zilong took out the jade pendant and showed it to Wan'er, and before she could speak, Wan'er said, "Isn't this the gatehouse of the Great Mosque?"
"Yes," Zilong said: "That's how I got the clue, I went to the big mosque, but there was no news at all, and I met Miao Ling's little thief, hehe, but if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have seen you!"
Wan'er smiled: "Are you very familiar with Miao Ling? She is the young gang leader of the Fengyue Gang, the largest gang of Hui people here. ”
"How can I be familiar with her? I'm almost as familiar with her sword!" Zilong told Wan'er about his and Miao Ling's festival, Zilong missed Wan'er day and night, and now he can talk to her so closely, he is extremely happy in his heart, and his eyebrows are dancing when he speaks. Wan'er also secretly admired Zilong, listening to him speak, while thinking about her own thoughts, smiling, and even more affectionate with peach blossom eyes.
The two were talking, only to hear a hearty laughter, "Hahahaha, Xu Shaoxia, welcome to the old man's mansion!"
Zilong knew that it was King An who came, so he hurriedly stood up, only to see that King An had already come in with Sun Jingwen, King An was dressed in civilian clothes, looking burly and free, Zilong hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xu Zilong has seen the prince!"
King An hurriedly grabbed Zilong's arm and said, "Xu Shaoxia is polite, haven't we met a long time ago?"
Zilong saw that although King An was in a high position, he had no official frame at all, and only felt a kind of kindness and dignity of his father, and his heart was a lot easier, and he said with a smile: "The younger generation in Shaolin Temple has no eyes, and I don't know the identity of the prince, and I hope the prince will forgive." ”
"Hahahaha," King An smiled: "Zilong is polite again, isn't it?
"Dad, why are you talking like that?" Wan'er blushed. Zilong laughed embarrassedly.
"Haha," Wang An smiled: "Look, my Wan'er is still shy!"
Wan'er stomped her feet and ran out, Zilong hurriedly said, "Miss Wan'er?"
An Wang said: "Xu Shaoxia doesn't have to pay attention to her, she is thin-skinned, hehe, I have already ordered someone to prepare wine and food, come, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Xu Shaoxia!"
During the meal, Wan'er said that she didn't come over, and the prince sent someone to call many times before she reluctantly came, and sat beside King An with a shy face.
Zilong told King An about coming to Ningxia to find his mother, of course, he didn't say anything about Yang Yiqing, only said that he got the news by chance that his jade pendant was very similar to the Great Mosque, so he came to Ningxia, and he didn't say anything about his festival with Miao Ling.
Zilong showed the jade pendant to King An, and King An nodded and said: "Yes, this is the pattern of the Great Mosque, but just knowing this, finding your mother in Ningxia is like looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
Seeing Zilong's disappointment, King An said: "But don't be too disappointed, this is also a clue, I believe that your mother must have something to do with the mosque here, as long as we look slowly, we will definitely be able to find it." ”
Zilong nodded, and King An said: "If you need anything, just tell me, I will definitely help." He also instructed Sun Jingwen: "Manager Sun, you instruct the people below to pay attention to this kind of news, and report anything to me as soon as possible." ”
Sun Jingwen said: "Yes!"
Zilong hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
King An waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, Xu Shaoxia, I hope you can live in my mansion for a few more days, first, it is more convenient to come to your mother, and secondly, I also hope to repay Shaoxia for your life-saving grace to Wan'er!"
"Thank you Lord Wang, Lord Wang's grace, Zilong doesn't dare to forget!"
King An laughed, "Okay, let's eat!"
Zilong glanced at Wan'er and found that she was looking at herself, and she was very happy to know that she was willing to stay, and she didn't feel a heat in her heart.
