Chapter 4 Don't fall in love with a woman surnamed Fang
Yan noticed that Master Zhong's expression was extremely haggard and his face was pale. If it weren't for the eyes that were still shining brightly, Yan would really have doubted whether the man in front of him had subdued him with just one hand not long ago.
That man had four armed men.
Seeing the surprised expression in Yan's eyes, Master Zhong smiled lightly:
"Since Mingzhu left, I have been trying to track her, but this kind of tracking across time and space is too difficult, and it has almost exhausted my lifelong skills, so I am a little tired now."
Only then did Yan understand the reason for such a huge change in Master Zhong. Seeing Master Zhong working so hard for the Pearl, he was also grateful, but he couldn't care less about expressing his gratitude now because he had more important things to do.
Things you want to know:
"Master, you said you have been tracking the Pearl. Have you seen her? How is she doing now? Who is she with? Can she get the treasure? Can she return smoothly?
?When will she come back?"
Yan asked a series of questions, but after he finished asking, he felt that he was a little too selfish, because he seemed to just want Mingzhu to come back quickly, but ignored her mother. Yan lowered his head with some guilt:
"Master, I'm sorry, I'm not the mother who doesn't care about Mingzhu, I just..."
Master Zhong interrupted Yan, his voice was exceptionally gentle and kind:
"It doesn't matter. I understand your feelings and your thoughts. I know that your life will not be easy after Mingzhu is gone."
Seeing Master Zhong being so considerate, Yan suddenly felt a long-lost family affection. He had never felt like this since Mingzhu left.
Master Zhong continued:
"It's just a pity that I can't answer most of the questions you asked. I'm not looking at people in another place through the monitor, but through an ethereal and mysterious power.
People who are in another time and space. In fact, it is inaccurate to say that I can't see anything. I can only experience it based on my feelings..."
Master Zhong's voice became deeper and deeper, and Yan could hear that Master Zhong was also deeply anxious and painful about not being able to see the Pearl with his own eyes.
Looking at Master Zhong's weak body and his painful expression, for a moment, Yan really couldn't bear to ask Master Zhong any more, but he couldn't do it because he really wanted to know everything about the Pearl.
, even if it’s just a feeling of nothingness.
Seeing Yan's eager expression, Master Zhong smiled again and said with some emotion:
"I can see that you really care about Mingzhu and care about Mingzhu, but do you know that her surname is Fang."
Yan is a little strange:
'What kind of problem is this? I have always known that Mingzhu's surname is Fang?'
However, he would not behave rudely to Master Zhong now, so he just nodded and said:
"I know."
Master Zhong continued:
"So you have to remember that no matter what kind of man he is, falling in love with a woman named Fang requires enough courage and full psychological preparation."
"What kind of mental preparation do I need?" Yan was puzzled.
Master Zhong shook his head slowly, looking towards the green mist in the distance:
"I can't say for sure. Maybe I'm prepared to die at any time, or maybe I'm prepared to watch the one I love the most suffer without being able to do anything about it, and suffer for the rest of my life..."
Yan was deeply shocked, not by what Master Zhong said, but by the grief that Master Zhong showed when he spoke.
A man like Master Zhong, who has transcended almost everything in the mortal world, could show such true feelings. This was really touching. For a moment, Yan didn't know what to say.
Master Zhong cheered up and changed the topic:
"I can feel that Mingzhu lived a peaceful life when she arrived in Chang'an. But later, that is, recently, more and more powerful forces gathered around her. The composition of these forces is very complex, and some are pure.
But there are also evil ones, and they are surrounding the pearl, so my tracking becomes more and more difficult."
Although Master Zhong has tried his best to express all the situation of Mingzhu in a language that Yan can understand and understand, it is of course not enough for Yan, especially now that he is still haunted by those two things.
A strange dream.
"Master, have you sensed what danger Mingzhu has encountered recently?" Yan asked.
Hearing Yan's question, Master Zhong's expression suddenly changed, but in less than a second, Master Zhong's expression returned to normal. Obviously, he wanted to cover up his panic at that moment. But although
Master Zhong moved very quickly, but still could not escape Yan's eyes. Yan's eyes suddenly became bright:
"What? Master, is the Pearl in danger?" Yan's voice was filled with deep fear.
"No..." Master Zhong wanted to deny it, but when he saw Yan's almost desperate expression, he changed his mind. Yes, maybe for a man like Yan, telling him the truest situation is the best way.
is the best choice.
Master Zhong looked at Yan and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, listen to me. I did feel that Mingzhu was in danger two days ago. It scared me at that time, because I could hardly trace Mingzhu's information. I really thought Mingzhu was in danger."
Something happened. But just when I was about to despair, I suddenly felt Mingzhu again, and her vitality was still increasing little by little, and she soon returned to normal, so I thought maybe Mingzhu had indeed met.
She was in some kind of danger, but she escaped."
Master Zhong's words still meant to comfort Yan, but Yan was unmoved, his face always so gloomy:
"Master, let me ask you another question, has Mingzhu really escaped now? Is it true that her escape was not complete?"
This time, Master Zhong was really surprised. If Yan asked him if the Pearl was in danger just now, it could also be understood that he was concerned about the Pearl and wanted to know more about the Pearl. But now, seeing
The fact that Yan was able to guess Mingzhu's situation so concretely made Master Zhong feel suspicious.
Master Zhong raised his head and looked at Yan quietly. Although his eyes were not sharp, they seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls.
Yan avoided Master Zhong's gaze and asked quietly:
"Master, don't you think it's strange that I suddenly came to Qingcheng Mountain to visit you?"
Master Zhong still looked deeply at Yan and said word by word:
"To be honest, I didn't feel strange about your sudden visit at first, because I knew you cared about Mingzhu, so it was only a matter of time before you came. But now, I really feel a little strange."
Yan raised his hands and rubbed his face heavily, and then said:
"Speaking of it, it's actually quite ridiculous. I had two dreams." Yan hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know whether he should continue this topic, because after all, he grew up with a purely modern Western education.
No matter how you say it, it is a bit incredible that people are actually commanded by dreams.
But what he didn't expect was that Master Zhong's expression was extremely solemn:
"Go on, tell me your dream in detail."
Yan nodded:
"good……"
Mingzhu returned to the princess mansion. As soon as she entered the gate, the servant hurried to her and said in a panic:
"Miss Fang, you are back. The princess is angry."
Mingzhu had already thought that she would definitely offend Anle if she left without saying goodbye yesterday, but she had already made up a lie, so she didn't panic and walked straight towards the Chinese hall in the middle hall.
Anle was sitting in the flower hall, her face really ugly. When she saw Mingzhu come in, she gave her a fierce look:
"Where did you go? I sent someone to look for you early in the morning, but I couldn't find you. I asked the person who was waiting for you and they said that you were not in the room last night. You were so unruly that you didn't even leave the house.
Say hello to me!”
Mingzhu thought to himself:
"Oh, it turns out that you only found out that I was not in the house this morning. Let me tell you, if it was your temper, if you tried to find me last night but didn't find me, you would have gone directly to the Fang family to arrest me."
Mingzhu didn't panic, covered her mouth and smiled softly:
"Princess, calm down, I did suddenly think of something yesterday, and then I went..." Mingzhu paused deliberately, then laughed again, "went to a good place."
"Where is it?" Anle's curiosity was indeed attracted by Mingzhu.
Mingzhu said deliberately:
"Let's not mention this first. Anyway, I want to explain this matter to the princess in detail. Princess, you should tell me your instructions first."
Anle snorted:
"I also said that this morning, I looked for you but you were not there. I looked for the housekeeper, but the housekeeper was not there either. This is the first time since I came to the independent government that I could not find the housekeeper. If this spreads out, it will really become a big joke! Anle
The princess can’t find her butler when she wakes up in the morning!”
An Le became angrier as he talked. Mingzhu knew clearly in her mind that the housekeeper was taken away for interrogation because of the chicken soup incident. After such torture, I am afraid he will never come back in this life. Alas, in fact, this housekeeper has not done anything big.
He said that he had helped me several times to do evil things, but this time he was framed for nothing.
Mingzhu once again felt that she really should take action as soon as possible, otherwise more and more innocent people would die in vain.
Although her heart was in turmoil, Mingzhu's face remained calm at all, and she said easily:
"Maybe the housekeeper went out to drink last night and got drunk and couldn't get back in time. The princess doesn't have to be angry about these trivial things. I'll tell the princess about my experience last night and make the princess happy."
