Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Pingjing Chapter 1 Cangzhou
The shadows of the trees are swaying, and three men and two women are walking slowly on the country road, and the playful little girl sometimes chases butterflies, sometimes picks flowers and stops on her head, which is extremely cute.
"Young master, let's just leave like this, is it appropriate?" Qigui tiptoed on the soft ground of the country road, for fear of soiling the new boots he had so ruthlessly bought.
"I left a letter to Xiaochuan, since I want to go to Baizhou, I won't delay his trip, senior brother is really weird, let me go to the academy to study, and let me go to Baizhou to learn swords, this time is too late. Su Wen curled the corners of his mouth, but he was so unhappy in his heart, what he was most worried about this way was that he couldn't find a decent master to teach him two tricks, the third brother only cared about letting him save his life, and that Song Lao didn't dare to accept him, this time the senior brother finally opened the golden mouth, and the other party just used the sword, which was wonderful.
Qigui hasn't bought a new set of clothes for several years, and this time he really spent a lot of money, just to sweep away the bad luck in the cell, don't look at how he can be regarded as a little enlightening little master, once it involves the luck of ghosts and gods, that courage is really not as good as a little girl.
"The master must have his reasons for doing this, since you are asked to learn the sword first, it will definitely not miss the trip of the school. β
"Whatever? It's better to be mistaken, I heard that the ten rejection cities are not half of Pingjing University, if I have been locked up in the academy to study, and read as a sour talent like Tan Junzi, then I might as well die." Su Wen shook his head and learned the way Tan Junzi walked, and he didn't know if the other party could arrive in Kyoto at this moment, and whether he was ready for the scientific expedition.
"Why didn't that scary uncle come with us. Xiao Xianzhi was tired of playing, lying on Niu Batian's back and watching the flowing clouds in the sky follow her one by one.
The scary uncle in Xiao Xianzhi's mouth is naturally Wang Mingyuan, but these words are a little more interesting when they come out of her mouth, although Wang Mingyuan is burly and tall, but when it comes to scary, he is only afraid that he is half the level of Niu Batian, who is carrying her on his back.
"He should go back to see his wife! I checked his pulse, it doesn't look like an illness or a result of practice, as for why he became like this, he doesn't say, I can't speculate. Hu Xiancao said softly, although the injuries on his face had been ointended, they were still blocked by a veil.
Su Wen cautiously peeked at the scenery under the veil, until a tingling pain surged up at the base of his legs, and immediately put on an unmoved look with a disdainful face, and said seriously: "I'm also curious about how a weak scholar became a little master of the Enlightenment, could it be that he is also as talented as this young master, but it's a pity that he has changed his appearance, I hope that his wife can recognize him after he goes back." β
"Sister Hu, he peeked at you again. Xiao Xianzhi said something inappropriately, which immediately attracted Su Wen's eye warning, but it quickly turned into a pleading.
"Good sister, I was wrong, it's only been a few days, and I'm about to be pinched purple by you. β
"If you are not honest, you don't learn well at a young age, and you will have it when you grow up. Hu Xiancao said righteously, and the two slender jade fingers kept dangling in front of the other party, so frightened that Su Wen swallowed his saliva and walked to the front of the team.
ββββ
At the beginning, the manor where Su Wen and the others lived was not idle because the other party left, and the master's family received a large sum of money, and looked at the new owner with joy, and said to himself: "Who said that Xiucai is a poor sour ghost, Lao Tzu met a generous one today, but his eyes were a little crooked, and they were all broken like this, and he said yes." β
A few days ago, the manor that was full of messes by Yin Cao has not been repaired, Chen Changan took his wife to live, although Mrs. Mu didn't like it, but she still helped her husband repair the collapsed earthen wall, and put on a plain cloth clothes, although the appearance is not outstanding, but it reveals a unique maturity of a family woman.
Before he was done, a guest came to the door, knocked on the doorman who only had half of the door left, Wang Mingyuan looked at the man in the room with a solemn expression.
"Madam, go back to the room to rest first!" Chen Changan patted his wife's hand, and the other party just glanced at Wang Mingyuan, and walked towards the inner room for what to say.
"It's coming. Chen Changan pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard and motioned for the other party to sit down and speak.
Although Wang Mingyuan was a little restrained, he still sat down steadily, it can be said that their old neighbors who have lived in Xianghe Town for some years, even if they meet, they should not be so different, maybe the residents of the town are still cheering for the departure of the Chen family, which makes their town, which is almost about to be reborn, finally ushered in a new life, Liu Po's horse gang really helped them with the most needed problems, but Wang Mingyuan never dared to see the other party as an ordinary scholar, and the reason why he would help Su Wen was also a decision made after getting the acquiescence of the other partyγ
"Sir, I want to go back, can you take that thing out?" Wang Mingyuan asked tentatively, his face full of worry.
Chen Changan still looked calm, gently turned over the two teacups, poured the tea, pushed it to the other party, and said with a smile: "I figured it out." β
Wang Mingyuan nodded, picked up the completely disproportionate small teacup with both hands, and quietly took a sip, "It's all angry talk, it's really a bit stupid to think about it now, if you can, please take that thing back! I'd rather be an ordinary farmer." β
"Good. Chen Changan got up and went to the house to get a bamboo tube, poured the other party's unfinished tea into it, and poured it out again after a while, the tea in the cup had a touch of tempting green, "Drink it, and you can change back to your former self." β
Wang Mingyuan, who picked up the teacup, swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes and quietly observed the other party's expression, gritted his teeth and drank the tea in the cup, the tea just entered his throat and immediately became hot, Wang Mingyuan covered his throat in pain, and wanted to speak but could only whine and moan, at the same time, his body was like a deflated skin slowly shrunk, and the thick beard on his face fell to the ground in large pieces as if the rhizome had been broken.
Chen Changan sat still and watched the mutation of the other party, for half an hour, Wang Mingyuan stood up weakly, the burly body was gone, but it was replaced by a slightly thin body, although the hair was scattered, he could vaguely recognize a delicate cheek, and the strong man was almost like two people, a crystal bead in his hand, which seemed to have a faint red thread.
"Thank you, sir. Wang Mingyuan said with a vague breath, handed back the beads in his hand to the other party, and retreated from the little sect master to an ordinary mortal, but his face showed a happy smile that he had not seen for many years.
Wang Mingyuan left satisfied, Chen Changan looked at the beads in his hand, and sighed lightly: "It's still a little close! I've been watching outside for a long time, come in and have a cup of tea!"
Suddenly, the words seemed to be said to someone, only to see a figure tiptoeing out of the door, it turned out to be Liu Sanxiao, I saw him walk in the door with a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to sit down, looked at each other from a distance, learned the etiquette that he had stolen in a private school somewhere, bowed down and said: "Villain Liu Sanxiao, I have seen Mr., I am allowed to help the master, no, if I ask the messenger, I will come to greet Mr. and live in Cangzhou for a few days." β
"You saw it all just now!" Chen Changan poked out his palm, and the round bead refracted a strange brilliance in the sun, "You've done enough to be an ordinary person, you want to change too!"
Liu Sanxiao looked at the bead, his heart was beating violently, and after hesitation, he walked over quickly, took the bead from the other party's hand and swallowed it in one gulp.
A Dao Sen-white breath rose from the ground and surrounded him, Liu Sanxiao's breath was also constantly changing, from the beginning of the Fan step to the first class, almost no stay from the first class Fan into the Kailing, but that breath still showed no signs of stopping, until there was still a layer of separation from the peak of the Kailing, it finally fell silent, but Liu Sanxiao's appearance did not change as drastically as Wang Mingyuan, but the full muscles faintly revealed an indescribable explosive power.
"Very good, you are the most suitable person I have ever met, it is good to be my apprentice. Chen Changan's face was happy, although it was not obvious, but it was an unprecedented gaffe for him.
Liu Sanxiao was overjoyed, fell to his knees with a thud, and slammed his head on the ground, thinking of using the blood on his forehead to show his sincerity, who would have thought that the ground would be knocked out of a deep pit by him, patted the dust on his forehead, and laughed stupidly, he is already in the realm of the little master of the spirit at this moment, and even if he can enter the realm of Lichen that is envied by the world by one leap, even if he does not need to deliberately mobilize, the spiritual power will naturally protect his body.
"Get up, I don't have so much red tape, you go back and tell Xu Yongle, but remove all the Yin Cao forces in Cangzhou, and then go with me to Kyoto. β
"Yes, master. Liu Sanxiao replied repeatedly, and when he saw that the other party waved his hand, he didn't dare to disturb, and bowed down and retreated.
Chen Changan patted his robe, rolled up the cuffs again, walked to the half-repaired earthen wall and continued to work, and said to himself: "Su has Su Wen, Mo Du has Mo Xiuyuan, and my Chen Changan's Liu Sanxiao is not bad, haha, an interesting life." β
ββββ
"Your Highness should be careful when you go to Kyoto, the generals have all been arranged along the way. "Next to the post station, there are not many people who see Chen Maochuan off, just Wang Ke, Lou Lanjin and Lu Dengke, and they don't even have an entourage.
Chen Maochuan held Lu Dengke's hand and said meaningfully: "Master Lu is talented, it's a pity to be buried in Cangzhou, it's better to go to Beijing with me." β
"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, this old bone can't withstand the toss in Kyoto, if Your Highness really has a heart, I have a protΓ©gΓ© who is very good, and I will arrange for him to enter Beijing in a few days, and then I will bother His Highness." β
"But that fat man, he is not bad, his eight-sided delicate temperament is very good in Kyoto, Lord Lu, don't think this king is too talkative, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty will still have less contact in the future, even if it is just playing chess, but if he is grabbed by someone with ulterior motives, it will be endless trouble. Chen Maochuan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, the old minister is also a hobby, and he will not do it after two years. RΓΌdenko said with a smile.
Chen Maochuan couldn't persuade the other party, so he had to look at Wang Ke again, and the other party said in understanding: "Chang Ming's matter will be handed over to the old man, and his charges and heads will arrive in Kyoto together, and it will be a good opportunity for His Highness to grasp it." β
"Then General Lao Wang bothered, okay, everyone stay!" Chen Maochuan bowed to everyone again, even though they didn't get along for a long time, but he did feel the other party's transformation from love and Wu to his heart, Cangzhou almost officially fell on his shoulders from Li Zaixiao's hands, this is his biggest bargaining chip in Beijing, because from this moment on, he is the real python robe, His Royal Highness King Qi.
As the carriage drifted farther and farther away, Lu Dengke touched Lou Lanjin beside him with his elbow, and the other party hurriedly said tacitly: "It's rare for General Wang to have leisure today, why don't we old guys find a place to catch up with the past." β
"Yes, yes, General Wang rarely comes to my Heyang County on weekdays, and today he will let me fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Ludenko opened his mouth and agreed.
Wang Ke did not refuse, and chuckled: "Then there is Lord Lao Lu." β
These three people can be said to be the cornerstone of Cangzhou in the future, and I really didn't know that the restaurant would have such an honor today.
