Chapter 20
"I heard that you will be going to the capital soon?"
"Yes, the departure date has been agreed upon."
"So, you came here today and cooked this table of dishes, and you want me to practice it for you?"
Before noon, someone came to the inn to say that the boss invited this crazy monk to come.
"Master, I have offended you a lot in the past few days. I hope you will forgive me. I will give you a toast with tea instead of wine."
Although he was provided with good food and drink, he had finally cut off his freedom, and being here was like a prison.
"It doesn't matter. Monk, although I have all the five elements, I can't pass the test of appetite. With your skills here, I can't be wronged."
"Is there something I don't understand?"
"Master, please speak."
"Why are you doing this?"
Now that he knows that his time is short, and a man like him who enjoys the four seasons of the world, the mountains and the birds, and naturally enjoys the world freely, why bother himself to apply the laws of this world?
"I don't like owing people."
It's not okay to owe money, and it's not okay to owe your life. What's more, I also scrapped Zhou Xiaochuan's hard work in the middle. I can't just slap my ass and leave just because I don't have much time. How can I feel comfortable if I owe so much.
"I came here today, firstly, to restore Master's freedom and to pray for Master's understanding; secondly, to say goodbye to Master. After today, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in the future, so I would like to thank Master for your teachings."
Although this person is unconventional, he appreciates his good intentions.
The man bowed deeply.
"Okay, I will travel around the world tomorrow, and I will meet you if there is a chance."
"Take these pills. If the soul-moving technique takes effect, you will always feel uncomfortable. In order to prevent donor Zhou from knowing the truth, you have to hide it from him, right?"
"Thank you!"
On the second day, we packed our bags and prepared to return.
It's still freezing cold in the north, but the south is enjoying the light green.
Zhou Xiaochuan observed the rogue along the way. He stayed in the carriage most of the time and was unusually quiet. Apart from sleeping, the only time he got up was to listen to Ruyun's report. Whenever this happens, he must leave his jade pendant here and go outside to talk alone. The warm sun outside made it difficult for him to move even without the jade pendant. Seeing his cloudy expression, this scoundrel must have known who he was.
"I brought Qingshan here."
This is the sentence that opens the curtain and comes in.
"We'll be there in half a day."
"Ruyun said that Qingshan heard that he had found the young master, and he cried so ugly. You said he is a boy, why does he like to cry so much."
It's not you who scares me.
Qingshan never let him come into contact with such unsavory things, and no one in the general's mansion dared to let him bully him. This scoundrel followed Qingshan all the way to Weiyuan. He was in fear all day long. He had not lived a peaceful life for a few days. If the scoundrel made such a fuss, he would be in constant panic all day long.
"But Qingshan still felt sorry for his young master. When he heard that his young master had been found, he rushed here day and night ... "
He is worthy of being the person I chose.
"Although Qingshan is young, he is also a good manager. Although he lacks experience and doesn't know what people's hearts are like, fortunately he is still young and can be trained well. He will always be useful in the future."
"Do you think highly of him now?" Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Wulai who was carefully analyzing Qingshan beside him. What he said was not without reason. My mother chose him to serve in my courtyard because she saw that he was smart and kind-hearted.
"Then why didn't you think highly of him before?"
No answer, just a question.
This is what I cannot understand most about Zhou Xiaochuan. If he is a careful person and does not like too many people to interfere, how can we explain people like Yun Yingyu? Compared with them, Qingshan is a more reliable person.
"He is young now."
Come on, you, a mere nineteen-year-old, say that a seventeen-year-old is too young. I wonder if your old-fashioned tone is due to habit? Or maybe he had other plans, this was just an excuse.
"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
"Why do you want to return to the capital?"
That day when I mutilated my arm, the freedom I gained through such determination was given up so easily?
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, so it's impossible to live up to one's expectations. What's more, I stayed in that small town for a long time and got tired of it."
Zhou Xiaochuan knew that he was hiding something from him. As for what kind of thing, we can only slowly find some clues.
"Where is Master Wumo?"
"Don't mention that crazy master. He blackmailed me that day just for the food I made for the Lantern Festival. After he was satisfied with the food, he left. Tell me, is this the day you met that eminent monk? ? After so many years, he is still so young, he couldn't be an impostor by himself, right? Otherwise, why is he so unreliable ... "
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the man leaning against the wall of the carriage and listened to his chatter. He never stopped talking. After half a day of talking, he was tired from listening. When he was about to fall asleep, he really wanted this scoundrel to stop. I don't know if the sun was just right, the breeze was not dry, or he was used to it. He didn't even bother to open his mouth and reply, "Forget it, let him go."
Seeing that the ghost Zhou Xiaochuan was asleep against the wall of the carriage, the young master helped him upright, lying on the soft pillow, pulled a quilt corner to cover him, and hung the jade stone around his neck.
Zhou Xiaochuan, do you know that you can now touch living and dead things other than me, are you still satisfied?
Before Wu Mo left, he wrote to me a letter, explaining all the signs of soul transfer. In the past few days, I have been carrying a jade stone close to my body. When he was sleeping, I dripped finger blood into the jade stone and connected my fingers to his heart. , this is human essence and blood, and it is also Zhou Xiaochuan's own essence. It is naturally beneficial to him and harmless, but he will be more sleepy than usual. To nourish your energy and spirit, you must always get enough sleep.
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he dripped a little finger blood into the jade pendant.
"Master, we are going to the capital ahead, please be more careful."
"Thank you Ruyun for the reminder."
"Do you want me to send someone to investigate first?"
They had disobeyed the king in the palace, and naturally they would not be punished easily. Although His Majesty shows no sign of anger now, the power of God is always unpredictable, and the monarch's joy and anger cannot be expressed in words.
"Please help me do one thing first."
"Send the gifts in the back of the car to the General's Mansion. I will send you a letter later with instructions to my father and mother. Be sure to convey them to your father."
"yes."
If there is one person in the world who can save the life of the master above the palace, I am afraid that it is only General Zhou from the General's Mansion at the edge of the town.
At their critical moment, his words are insignificant and his life is like a piece of grass. It has no effect. On weekdays, he relies on his protection to achieve his great ambitions.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
The man who had been fine just now suddenly leaned down and his face was as pale as paper.
"It's okay. You go and get the medicine prepared by the imperial doctor. I'll take it and rest for a while. There's no need to worry."
"I'm going to get the medicine right now."
I never thought that I would be so weak halfway through the journey, so I took out the pills Wu Mo gave me, stuffed one in my mouth and swallowed it. There would be a road for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat would go straight to the bridge. Only by cultivating enough energy can I have strategies to deal with the enemy.
Chapter 21The front reaches Shengjing."I'm actually back again."Behind him was Zhou Xiaochuan's whisper.Yes, Zhou Xiaochuan, you are back now. From now on, you will rely on your own feet to step on this land. I ruined your hard work that day. Before you come back, I will make up for it. If I leave, , there are still regrets that I won’t be able to complete it in the future, I hope you won’t blame me for my rogue behavior."Master, you are finally back."In front of the city gate, I didn't see the people who raised the army to punish the guilty, but I saw Qingshan. I hadn't seen him for several months. Qingshan was getting longer and looked like an adult, but he was crying and crying when he met me. I don't know how to coax a child."Hey, Qingshan, you can't cry anymore. If you continue to cry, you will become a little girl.""Look at these little eyes. They are swollen. Can you see the road?"If you don't know how to c
After leaving Longtan, there is still this tiger's den at home. I have to deal with it well.In front of the General's Mansion. When I thought about the fact that no one was there to greet me, my father was extremely angry and ordered his servants not to greet me. Fortunately, you still left a door open for me, right?Explain that there is still discussion on this matter."Young... Young Master, I want you to go to the ancestral hall and wait for him."Qingshan almost cried because he couldn't bear the young master's punishment, but he couldn't disobey the master's order. His young master had been killed and injured many times in the past few months."Qingshan, have you presented the things I brought back to my parents?""I gave the letter to the master. After reading it, he asked me to see the young master and you go directly to the ancestral hall.""You haven't had time to send that thing yet?""No, young master, what time has
Chapter 23"Chuan'er, Chuan'er."Young Master, I am in great pain and I fainted, but I will wake up eventually, right? This was not like the first time. Although I didn't want to move, the person in my ear was crying very sadly. She had been on tenterhooks for several months, and now he was here to scare her, which really made her feel bad."Mother."Young Master, I woke up."Chuan'er, Chuan'er, you're awake."In the future, before he could react, he was held in Zhou Xiaochuan's arms. The moment he saw those bloodshot eyes, he couldn't break free."Chuan'er, you're awake. Mom has been thinking about you these past few months and looking forward to your return. But you are back ... "Before I could finish speaking, I was choked up again, and it took me most of my time to look good."Mom, don't be sad. Your son is back, so don't cry."Looking at that face, I had no choice but to stretch my body to get the handkerchief,
Chapter Twenty Four"master,"Waiting outside the door was Ruyun who came to deliver disaster relief materials to me. The person in the palace heard about my current illness. It is conceivable that he must have eyes and ears in the general's mansion, but they cannot clean up this person. I have received a pardon from the king today and allowed me to work at home, so I have to make this trip again."Come in and talk."The door is not the place to talk, and this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.Although his behavior yesterday will not fundamentally eliminate General Zhou's prejudice against Zhou Xiaochuan, it can still make him subconsciously think about defending his son the next time he hears someone slandering him, rather than feeling embarrassed and criticizing him. Get an education.That fool Zhou Xiaochuan has always been a lone ranger. He doesn't want too many people to get involved in his plan. He hopes to be abl
Chapter twenty-fiveAfter having dinner and washing up, I felt very tired after working hard for a long time today, so I pulled up the quilt and wanted to take a nap. But the eyes of the little fool in the room were too bright and he was looking straight at me. How could he sleep?"Zhou Xiaochuan, do you have something to ask?""Um""Will I be able to sleep peacefully if I ask clearly?""yes."Seeing that the fool was persistent, he had no choice but to sit up around him. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now and it is not too cold. I'm just extremely sleepy. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the weather, but just because my soul is a little weaker. It's not painful or itchy, but I'm just sleepy, so that's not a big deal."Sure, then you can ask.""Are you angry with me?"I'm angry that I kept it from you all this time without even a single word of truth."Won't."Although he concealed all the truth
King Rui never clicked Mao on time.He is a king, and he is not of the same mother as the current Holy One. His mother-in-law, the imperial concubine Li, was the daughter of the prime minister of a country. The Li family had controlled the government for many years. Now, although the Li family has been uprooted, her mother-in-law died first. But everyone knows that Prime Minister Li has disciples all over the world. Even if the Li family is eliminated, the centipede will not die, and there will always be influence.This is what the world thinks, but he doesn't agree.He had no soldiers and horses, and no support from the descendants of the Li family. In that catastrophe, three generations of the Li family had been executed. Although the imperial sergeants have many disciples and former officials of the prime minister, what is the use of them? When the prime minister is in charge of politics and chooses officials, those scholars naturally want to pay one or t
Chapter twenty-sevenIt's getting late and it's hard to go back today.When the young master arrived, he did not expect that it would be so late, but after a brief introduction, everyone in the official department joined the ranks of checking the accounts. Looking at King Rui, the monster has not made any movement yet. He is sitting sideways in the chair, holding tea in one hand and sipping lightly. What on earth is this guy doing? !In the lobby of the Ministry of Accounts, boxes of old accounts were unearthed. Everyone has their own tasks and verifies all income and expenditure one by one. They now have two tasks. One is to find out through the exchanges over the years whether there are court officials who have communicated privately with the subordinates and leaked information. This is to clean up the chess pieces buried inside. The second is to calculate how much balance there is in the national treasury and whether there is any money that can be allocat
Qingshan was waiting in his carriage."Qingshan?"I went out in the morning so that he didn't have to follow me."Master, it's getting late. Madam is worried about you, so she asked me to wait here.""In that case, you come with me for a walk.""Yes, Master."When I first arrived here, I wanted to take a tour of the capital. I was here with Qingshan today, and when I was walking leisurely, I felt that my thoughts were back again.The accounting books of the official department were handed over to Ruyun, a professional talent. If I were alone, it would be of no use, so I would just take a stroll in the night.This was the first time he had looked at the night view of Kyoto so seriously. It was brightly lit, and there were vendors scattered everywhere. Looking at the steaming food, he felt hungry."Qingshan, is dinner ready?"The lady was worried about the young master's health, so he rushed over and handed the food in
