Chapter 31 Far up to the Immortal Mountains
The next day, Zhong Shen went to Murong's house.
The last time I made a surprise visit, I ate a closed door.
This time, Zhong Shen kept an eye on it, he went at night, and he went over the wall to get in, just hoping to see Murong Feng directly.
At this time, Murong Feng was reading a book in the room.
After just reading a few pages, Murong Feng felt a little tired, so he took out the handkerchief that Wan'er had given him in his arms.
Late maple.
Murong Feng gently touched the handkerchief, as if touching Wan'er's face.
Just as he was immersed in a piece of beauty, suddenly someone outside the door said softly:
"Brother Murong. ”
Listening to the voice, Murong Feng didn't hear who it was for a while.
"Brother Murong, I'm Zhong Shen. ”
Zhong Shen?
How did he get in so late?
And, does he have anything to do with himself?
For the people of the Zhong family, Murong Feng didn't want to deal with it from the bottom of his heart.
Although he knew, Zhong Jin was different from his brother.
"What's the matter?"
"Brother Murong, open the door. I have something important to look for you. ”
Murong Feng reluctantly opened the door.
"Brother Murong," Zhong Jin suddenly knelt down as soon as he entered the door.
"What are you doing here, hurry up. ”
"Brother Murong, I can't hide it, I'm asking you to help me this time. As you know, the lotus flower in our family has withered, and now many people with ill intentions have started the idea of the lotus. ”
Murong Feng had also heard of the withering of the lotus.
"Brother Murong, if you want to save the lotus, the only way to go to Wanxian Ridge is to invite an old gentleman. But this old gentleman is not an easy person to deal with, and I am afraid that we will not be able to rely on the people of our Zhong family and the Zhuang family alone. Therefore, I came this time to let Brother Murong go with me. ”
"Brother Shen'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this matter. First, this is your family's family matter, I am not qualified to interfere, and I don't want to interfere, and second, I just want to live an ordinary life now. Besides, I'm just a mediocre person, and I can't help anything like this. ”
Seeing Murong Feng's resolute attitude, Zhong Shen continued:
"Brother Murong, I know that it is indeed rude to ask you like this. However, I don't really know who to ask for help but you. To tell the truth, Zhuang Zhongren, the only son of the Zhuang family, is just a straw bale, relying on him, we don't have any hope at all. My eldest brother, he is indeed strong in martial arts, but he is not very outstanding in terms of resourcefulness. And I, even more, can't be on my own. Brother Murong, I know that you have always been resourceful, so I really want to ask you to help me. ”
"Shen'er, you really think highly of me. I'm not as smart as you say. You'd better be smart. Although Murong Feng was a little unbearable in his heart, he still said coldly.
"Brother Murong, you should help me. I know, maybe you have an opinion about my eldest brother, but, for my sake, big brother, please save our Zhong family. ”
"Shen'er, you really don't need to say it anymore, I said, I won't have anything to do with your Zhong family anymore. Go back, I've made up my mind. ”
"Brother Murong, if you don't agree, I can't afford to kneel. Zhong Shen said.
Murong Feng had no choice.
"Shen'er, you ......"
Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, Master Murong Yingxue's voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"This matter, I decided. ”
It turned out that when Zhong Shen secretly came to Murong's house, Murong Yingxue had already seen it.
The Murong family has been heavily guarded since Murong Jie fled, and Zhong Shen's long-distance drive into it must be because Murong Yingxue did it intentionally.
At that time, Murong Yingxue was in the courtyard, and when she saw Zhong Shen sneakily into Murong Feng's house, she followed all the way and listened to the conversation between the two people clearly at the door.
Murong Yingxue pushed open the door.
"The second son of the Zhong family, he is far away. Murong Yingxue said.
Zhong Shen lowered his head embarrassedly.
"I overheard your conversation. Feng'er, you saved Zhong Shen's life, and the Zhong family and our family also have some origins. Now that the Zhong family is in trouble, we can't stand idly by, so you can just let them go. ”
"Master, this is none of our business. Murong Feng said.
"Why is it irrelevant, at the beginning, it wasn't you who took the initiative to find the Zhong family, and you asked for it, why, now you cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you are ungrateful?" said the master, his tone full of mockery.
Murong Feng knew that to this day, the master was still blaming himself for going behind her back to find the Zhong family.
"Master Murong, please persuade Brother Murong well. Zhong Shen pleaded.
"Second son, please rest assured, he is my apprentice, I don't have to persuade him," After speaking, Murong Yingxue looked at Murong Feng, her eyes were full of fierceness, and continued: "I only have orders for him. ”
Murong Feng couldn't understand why Master insisted on participating in it this time.
He knew that the master must have some ulterior secret.
This is also the sentence that verifies Murong Kun: We are all Master's pawns.
Now, it's time for your own pawn.
Murong Feng could only obey.
Seeing that Murong Feng nodded, Zhong Shen was overjoyed.
"Brother Murong, you are really a great benefactor of our Zhong family, and when you succeed, I will definitely thank you well. ”
This is what Murong Yingxue is doing.
"Second son of the Zhong family, since I agree to let Murong Feng help you, I will help others to the end. In this way, I have another apprentice, and when the time comes, I will let her go with you. ”
"In this way, I am so grateful to Master Murong. Zhong Shen said gratefully.
"Master, who else are you going to send?" Murong Feng asked uneasily.
"Of course it's Wan'er. ”
"No, no, this is absolutely not possible. Murong Feng objected impulsively.
"Why not?" Seeing that his order was questioned, Murong Yingxue was very angry.
"Master, this time we traveled far away, we ate and slept in the open along the way, and the environment was sinister, Senior Sister is a woman, and she can't stand such suffering. Murong Feng said.
As soon as he heard that Master Murong was going to send a female apprentice to join him, Zhong Shen also spoke:
"Master Murong, I appreciate your kindness. However, I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to send a female disciple to accompany us. As Brother Murong said, this time is really dangerous, and there is a possibility that several of us men will not be able to save our lives, let alone a woman? ”
"You also said that this road is dangerous and long-distance, and several of you are men, so it is inevitable that there will be carelessness, and you naturally need a thoughtful person to help you. What's more, Wanxian Ridge is a long way to go, and you definitely need someone to take care of your daily life along the way. ”
Murong Feng still insisted on his own idea, that is, he couldn't let Wan'er go along.
"Alright, alright, this matter is settled. The second son of the Zhong family, you will live here tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the three of you will go to the Zhong family together. After Murong Yingxue finished speaking, she left the room.
Murong Feng never expected that the master would make such a move.
However, what is Master's intention in this way?
Murong Feng couldn't guess it, and he didn't want to guess it.
Because the most important thing at this moment is how to take care of Wan'er on the road in the future.
After Murong Yingxue left Murong Feng's room, she didn't go back to her room directly, but went to her ancestor.
"It seems that what we expected is going to happen ahead of schedule. After listening to Murong Yingxue tell what happened, the ancestor said with relief.
Murong Yingxue looked out the window.
It was pitch black outside.
"yes, it's not in vain that I've been waiting for so many years. ”
Early the next morning, Murong Feng, Murong Wan'er and Zhong Shen, the three of them bid farewell to Murong Mansion and returned to the Zhong family.
The Zhong family saw that Shen'er not only brought back Murong Feng, but also brought a girl.
When this girl approached, everyone was surprised, it turned out to be Murong Wan'er.
The most surprising thing was Zhong Jin.
The matter of the lotus flower made Zhong Jin's marriage postponed, and Zhong Jin had to let go of the Wan'er girl in his heart first. But what I didn't expect now was that Miss Murong would take the initiative to come to the door.
"Murong Daxia, we meet again. "Zhong Dushan welcomes.
"I've seen Master Zhong. Murong Feng replied.
"Shen'er, who is this girl?" asked Zhong Dushan.
So, Zhong Shen told his father the whole thing.
After Zhong Jin listened, he couldn't help but blossom with joy.
This Murong Yingxue, who really has hers, actually arranged such a move.
This kind of kindness of adult beauty is kept in mind.
Although, he also knew that the reason why Murong Yingxue did this was not just to create an opportunity for him to have more contact with Miss Wan'er, and to affirm that she had her own reasons, but whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was extremely beneficial to Zhong Jin.
"I see. Listening to Zhong Shen's words, Zhong Dushan said gratefully, "In this case, you should thank Master Murong well." ”
At this time, Mrs. Zhong came in with Shui'er.
Seeing Shui'er, Murong Feng's heart suddenly pierced his heart.
It was only the first time in a long time that he had seen Shui'er.
Or, rather, a lover.
The water is much fatter and whiter than before.
The body is no longer wearing coarse linen clothes, but silk brocade, like a young lady.
When Shui'er saw an outsider, he greeted him obediently.
Shui Er smiled at Murong Feng.
It seems that Shui'er really forgot about it.
It's okay to have a worry-free life, a family that loves her, and at the same time get rid of the unbearable memories of the past.
At this moment, the water should be happy.
I hope that the grandfather of the love child, seeing all this in the spirit of heaven, can also be comforted, it turns out that he himself.
"Sister, you're here again. Shui'er saw Wan'er and said happily.
"Miss Wan'er, we meet again. This Shui'er, since the last time I saw you, has been thinking about it, always pestering me every day, asking me when this sister will come. Mrs. Zhong said with a smile.
Wan'er smiled, "I've seen Mrs. Zhong." ”
Wan'er's voice was so beautiful, Zhong Jin was on the side, she was really drunk.
At this time, Zhong Dushan took out five short swords from the room.
"I had my craftsmen build them overnight, and these daggers are light and extremely sharp, so you can take them with you for self-defense. ”
The four of them took the sword, and there was one that was left for Zhuang Zhongren.
Zhong Dushan continued: "This Wanxian Ridge is very far away from us, and it will take two months to go back and forth just the time spent on the road. In other words, you only have one month to be in Wanxian Ridge, not only to find this old gentleman, but also to find a way to persuade him and ask him to come out of the mountain and save our lotus. ”
As soon as she heard her father's words, Shui Er couldn't sit still: "Father, I'm going too." ”
"Shui'er, how can you go to a girl's house?" Mrs. Zhong hurriedly dissuaded.
"But Sister Wan'er is also a girl, why can she go. Shui Er said unconvinced.
Mrs. Zhong didn't know how to refute for a while.
This is, Wan'er walked up to Shui'er and said, "Shui'er, the reason why I can go is not because I know martial arts, nor because of how powerful my spells are, but because I can wash clothes and cook." ”
Shui Er looked at Wan'er puzzled.
Wan'er continued: "You think, it's been three months since we left, and if there is no one who can do laundry and cooking, what will happen to their brothers." So, I'm going to be a servant. Since you want to leave so much, then let me ask you, do you do laundry and cooking?"
When it comes to magic and martial arts, water is not a problem, but when it comes to laundry and cooking, water doesn't know anything.
Shui'er lowered her head in embarrassment.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all secretly admired Wan'er's wit in their hearts.
Later, Zhong Dushan instructed them a few more words, brought them enough coils and necessary medicines, and the four of them set out on the road.
Before leaving, Mrs. Zhong said: "You big men, take good care of Miss Wan'er, especially Jin'er, you are the oldest, and Miss Wan'er will be handed over to you." After speaking, he gave Zhong Jin a look.
Zhong nodded understandingly.
After seeing them leave, Zhong Dushan couldn't help but sigh.
"Twilight, don't worry too much, the children are all strong in martial arts, and they will definitely return safely. ”
"I'm not worried about this. Don't you think there's anything strange about this, ma'am?"
"What's the matter?"
"This Master Murong Yingxue, why did you take the initiative to send Miss Wan'er to go with them?
"Well, Twilight, don't think about it. Now, we can only take one step at a time. Let's get the things in front of you done first, and then talk about the things later. ”
