Chapter 103 The Kingdom of Miki

In fact, Xie Wuling didn't know the answer to Zhao Zuo's question.Whether it was because he couldn't see clearly and wanted to test the country of Qi, or because he didn't believe it and wanted to take this opportunity to put aside his relationship with the country of Qi, he himself couldn't tell whether he didn't understand it.

"Han Chao is a man of courage, otherwise we wouldn't have needed to win him over. As for Lu Shencheng, his temper is obvious to all. After Huixuan and before you, he is the only first-class person who can be as famous as Shen Changxie in Fufeng."

Zhao Zuo paused, and said bluntly: "If you want to test Sister Hua just because you can't see clearly, you don't have to start with the two of them. I have been able to figure out who Sister Kuang Hua is for more than ten years. .Her hands haven't been stained with blood for so many years, she will definitely not harm anyone. "

It's not that Xie Wuling who came from Zhao Zuo didn't think about it. If it is true, Xie Wuling has a more convincing reason than Zhao Zuo's words.

But this excuse, Xie Wuling did not dare to give it to Qi Guo confidently.

Zhao Zuo pushed the bowl in front of him, turned to Xie Wuling slightly, and said, "You entrusted the jade antlers of the Lu family to her. When she received the news from Gu Zang on the tower of Juyan City, she returned it directly to her." me."

That reason was explained by Zhao Zuo, and Xie Wuling suddenly had no way to refute, he didn't even dare to raise his head, he was afraid that he would see blame from Zhao Zuo's eyes, and blame himself for being careless.

"I……"

Zhao Zuo didn't give Xie Wuling time to argue, and continued: "This is just one of them. Gu Zang's affairs are over, and Juyan's affairs should have ended long ago. She, the Princess of Qi, could have returned to Fufeng first, just to discuss She also had the opportunity to refer to me in front of the emperor, saying that I was dereliction of duty, and before the transfer order was issued, she led the soldiers from the Shanlu Camp and left Juyan City."

"But she only handed over the document when you and Xianzhi were able to return to Fufeng, and it was about returning to Fufeng together." Xie Wuling finished Zhao Zuo's next words, and then raised his eyes to Zhao Zuo.

Zhao Zuo looked at Xie Wuling and gritted his teeth, thinking that he was about to refute, so he raised his hand, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and continued to rob him: "Mr. Act of?"

The expression in Zhao Zuo's eyes has returned to flat, tepid, Xie Wuling didn't find anything from his eyes when he looked over.

Xie Wuling's men let go of their chopsticks, took a handkerchief and wiped their mouths, and then said: "I hope it's as Qin Guogong said. But I have to remind you, Changle's men have never been killed, nor have Xuancheng's men, but If no one can protect it, they won’t touch it in the future.”

Hearing this, Zhao Zuo was helpless with Xie Wuling's attitude and his sudden weird temper, so he curled his lips and didn't say a word.

"Since you are going to see Emperor Father tomorrow, how about letting Chang Le take charge of Han Chao's affairs and make an apology for you?" After a long while, Zhao Zuo got up and suggested.

Xie Wuling didn't refute, just got up, passed Zhao Zuo and walked out of the house.

"It's up to you to ask me what to do."

Zhao Zuo saw his behavior as if he had lost his temper, so he couldn't help pursing his lips, the uncontained smile overflowed from his eyes, and drove away the unhappiness caused by Xie Wuling's unreasonable suspicion of Yuan Hua just now .

Facing the back of the green shirt, he raised his voice and said, "I will put the jade antlers of the Lu family in the apricot grove."

Xie Wuling came out from the back compartment, walked around the path, and went directly to the hut in Xinglin, looking for the jade antlers that Zhao Zuo was talking about.

Although Zhao Zuo's words sounded nonsensical, but according to his habit of swallowing half a sentence in the conversation with Xie Wuling, it is likely that there are other things waiting for Xie Wuling together with the jade antlers.

Xie Wuling's eyes fell on the surroundings when he entered the room, and he began to look carefully.

Linglongzi is still on the chessboard, the teacup is put away, the incense is not burned, the dust is not disturbed, just as usual.

The steps finally stopped on the eight-treasure stand, and his eyes swept over the first row. There were only some novelty decorations, which were all admired by Xian Zhi.

Only a few old things from friends were placed in the second row, Xie Wuling's eyes stopped on the side of the jade antlers, it was a newly added lacquered wooden box.

Xie Wuling raised his hand to take it off, the surface of the lacquered wooden box was engraved with two blue luan, if Xie Wuling hadn't put his mind to feel it, he might have thought these two birds were cranes.

Xie Wuling pursed his lips before carefully opening the box.Inside are three jade-like silk objects and a piece of black gold paper.A few words were written on the paper: "The old strings are treasured, and I am reluctant to return them. Now I have three new strings, which are worth to Mr. Xiao. I wonder if I can continue to listen to the music of Mr. Zhaoxing during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Xie Wuling looked at the black gold paper, and at some point there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. When the smile was strong, the brilliance in his peach blossom eyes became brighter, like a spring breeze.It's a pity that Zhao Zuo didn't have the chance to see him at this time.

"咚咚-"

A little novice monk wearing a monk's robe was standing outside the Xinglin house, knocking on the half-opened door.He saw Xie Wuling in the room turned around and looked over, and entered the room.

Xie Wuling heard the knock on the door, and immediately suppressed his smile, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the little novice as seriously as possible: "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Huixuan said that the day you returned to Zhaoxing to visit Daoist Miaofa, he happened to be away. He... um... was rude. I will come to Fufeng to pay a visit in two days. Let the little monk come here first to inform him Little sir."

"En." Xie Wuling responded, seeing the little novice turned to leave, so he asked a little more, "Why don't you have a cup of tea before you go, little master?"

The little novice was obviously puzzled by his title of "little master", frowned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Wuling, feeling strange in his heart.

Probably the blame is Xie Wuling who has never been restrained by Buddhism, except for some subtle things in his mind, there is no one like a monk.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Xie Wuling raised his eyebrows and asked warmly.

The little novice asked Xie Wuling, but remembered Huixuan's advice when he was about to enter Fufeng and left Zhaoxing, immediately lowered his head, folded his hands together, and said: "No, it's nothing."

"Then have a cup of tea before leaving?" Xie Wuling put the black gold paper in his hand properly and said, "Come with me."

He led the little novice out of the hut, closed the door, and walked out of the apricot forest. Instead of bypassing the floating window, he directly took the waterside road behind the floating window and went to the nearest one next to the moon. Fang Xieting.On the way, he met a little boy, Xie Wuling casually beckoned the boy with a long eyebrow.

The two entered the pavilion, Xie Wuling invited him to sit down.

It was the first time for the young novice monk to enter the world, and he had never seen such a magnificent scene. His eyes kept wandering around, and he didn't pay attention to Xie Wuling's gesture of inviting him to sit.

Xie Wuling was not in a hurry, he took his seat first, and leisurely looked at the little novice who was still standing in the pavilion, who was a little strange about everything.

Behind Xinglin is a road leading to the official road outside the city. It was a hidden road specially opened for Zhaoxing people to find him.

This road has indeed been used for the past two years, it is convenient for Xie Wuling to avoid the eyes and ears of others, naturally, there is no need for Zhaoxing's people to go around the city gate to enter the Guo and then pass through the garden gate, wasting time.

The little novice left Zhaoxing for the first time, and his feelings in his heart were even more different. Xianshan Zhaoxing could only see the sky, earth, green mountains and flowing clouds; Fufeng was quite different.He didn't know the garden until he came out of Xinglin.

Xie Wuling patiently waited for the little novice's curiosity to subside, but he did not expect that in this process, Jiumu would be the first to come.

It is obviously not the first time that Xie Wuling has seen such a person wearing a monk's or priest's robe beside Xie Wuling, but it should be the first time he has seen this novice in front of him.

He glanced at the novice in a hurry, handed over the teacup in his hand, and offered it to Xie Wuling with both hands, and said softly: "The person who sent the invitation card committed suicide, and the eunuch from Shan Langjun's side asked me to replace him." The master will tell you, he asked City Lord Xuan to go and see."

After hearing the news, Xie Wuling's pupils suddenly opened wide, and after hearing the news, he nodded in relief. "Well, send a calligraphy and painting to City Lord Xuan for me later, and I will trouble him."

After Mu responded, he turned his body slightly, and put another cup of tea on the seat opposite Xie Wuling according to the old habit.

"Little Master, please."

"Ah..." the novice suddenly heard someone calling, and then looked away. Seeing this, he took two steps forward resentfully, and sat down, as if remembering something, put his hands together, thanked him, and then thanked Xie Wuling .

"Little Master, you are being polite." Xie Wuling said.

After handing over the teacup, Jiumu got up and waited outside the pavilion.

Xie Wuling looked at the little novice in front of him. The little novice stretched out his hand to hold the cup, but suddenly felt Xie Wuling's gaze, and immediately retracted his hand. He raised his head and looked at Xie Wuling cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Xie Wuling looked at him shrinking like a frightened rabbit, and asked, "I'm so scary?"

"No, no, no," the little novice quickly waved his hands, "No."

"That's why my brother said something bad about me?"

Hearing that the novice monk swallowed his saliva, his eyes widened a bit, and he pretended to say: "No, no."

"Taste the tea." Xie Wuling pretended not to embarrass him, raised his chin, and signaled the little novice to taste the tea.

When the little novice was really relieved, he picked up the teacup to sip, Xie Wuling said again: "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess a little bit, but this monk doesn't lie. Little master, it's a violation of the precepts." .”

As soon as these words came out, the little monk shook his shoulders, Duanzhan's hand lost his stability, the teacup fell, and the tea splashed on the monk's robe.The little novice was at a loss for a while, his eyes flickered, his mouth faltered, and he didn't say anything. "I, I, I..."

"Senior brother said that I was too far-fetched?" Xie Wuling asked calmly, but the listeners didn't hear it calmly.

"No, no, no." Hearing this, the little novice swayed his head like a rattle.While shaking his head, he said: "Uncle Huixuan said that there are not many people in the world who are as bold as Mr. Xiao."

"So senior brother came to Fufeng just to see how brave I am?"

"This... the little monk doesn't know either. I only know that the master and uncle have been worried these days, and the little monk dare not ask more questions."

Xie Wuling nodded, drank the tea in the teacup and put it away.

Seeing this, the little novice tightened his grip on the part of the monk's robe that was splashed with tea.

Xie Wuling noticed his movements, and said to the people outside the pavilion: "Just die, take the little master to change into a monk's clothes."

"Yes." He took a step forward and replied.

Hearing the words, the little novice stood up tiptoely, raised his hands together, and saluted and apologized.

Xie Wuling also got up, and asked again: "By the way, senior brother said, when do you need to return to Zhaoxing? If not, you can stay here first, and when senior brother wants to go back, we can go all the way again?"

"Little monk, I haven't heard Master Huixuan tell me when to go back." The little novice said in a low voice.

"Then it's settled like this, so I will find a Zen room in the garden and give it to him."

Just nodded, but the little novice asked a question.

"Can the little monk walk around for a while?"

"It's okay, but before you go out, remember to find Jiumu to give you some broken silver. When you go out with the senior brother in the future, remember to find Jiumu to give you some silver." Xie Wuling looked at Jiumu meaningfully, "After all, he has not been in Fufeng for some years Now, if someone who doesn't know anything provokes him, you also remember to tell me, okay?"

The little novice nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart.

On the other side, Zhao Zuo had returned to Duke Qin's mansion and said he wanted to see Guanzhi's child, when the eunuchs said that Guanzhi was at Liang Zhuo's place.

Zhao Zuo went to Liang Zhuo's place on his back foot, but unfortunately he didn't meet Guan Zhi.

Zhao Zuo curled his lips, seeing Liang Zhuo bringing new tea and turning away the crowd, he said sternly that he wanted to invite one person to the mansion to teach him about karma.

Liang Zhuo asked, "Who is it?"

"The name is Han Chao."

"Han Chao?" Liang Zhuo repeated, frowning.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zuo asked.

"It's somewhat familiar." Liang Zhuo said as he carried a stack of books out of the inner room, took out a few books from it, and rummaged through them one by one.

After a long while, Liang Zhuo handed over two ancient books. When the pages were opened, Zhao Zuo saw four red circles in black and white.

"This is?"

"It was Liang Ce who asked me to bring it to you. I was afraid that something bad happened in the middle, so I checked it for you first."

Zhao Zuo nodded when he heard the words, raised his hand to take the two ancient books, touched the four red circles with his fingers, and his heart sank suddenly.

"Han, Chao, Mo..." Zhao Zuo read it word by word.

The author has something to say: Chasing stars is a mistake
