Chapter 898: When those wild flowers are in bloom (Part 2)
Wanfu Zong moved his family.
The people in the sect hired more than a dozen carriages for their family members to ride in, while they rode on horseback.
At this moment, the carriage was parked at the entrance of that small town. The common people rarely saw such a big battle, so they took a few more glances, but they didn't see any reason, so they didn't bother to look any further.
Look here.
In front of the leading carriage, the little girl Jiang Xiao'an was holding a bunch of candied haws. She looked at the young man in black robe beside her and asked curiously, "Sir, is my master good-tempered? Is he prone to anger?"
Swearing and hitting people?”
Chen Chao's injuries have improved a lot these days, and his face has become much rosier. He finally doesn't look like he was worried about when he would lose his life at first glance.
But no one will think that the young man in front of them is not sick. .??.
After listening to the little girl's inquiry, Chen Chao thought for a while and said with a smile, "That guy has a bad temper. He dares to scold everyone he sees. There is probably only one person in the world who can't or won't scold him."
The little girl said smartly, "I know, that person must be an adult!"
While speaking, the little girl looked up at her father who was not far away, with a bit of pride in her eyes. She probably meant, look, dad, what I said is right. When you get to the capital of the gods, you will definitely have a prosperous official career.
of.
Jiang Wanfu noticed his girl's eyes from a distance and was a little confused, but he still smiled and nodded towards his daughter subconsciously.
Chen Chao laughed and said, "That's not me. If that guy wants to scold me, he won't consider whether I am happy or not, so he just scolds me."
The little girl frowned and said to herself, "Well, does this mean that the master I have never met is very powerful?"
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "I have a good temper, but that guy's abilities are not low either."
When the little girl heard this, she laughed, but then she said sadly, "But you still didn't answer my question, sir."
Chen Chao slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"Although it is common for that boy to scold people, I think he probably wouldn't be able to scold such a cute little girl. Fortunately, you are a little girl. If you were a boy, it would be difficult to say that."
Chen Chao stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head. He also missed his little girl who was a closed disciple.
This time I left the capital of God and walked for a long time from north to south. Although news about my disciples often came from time to time, it was not as good as going back to see for myself.
When he lost his mind, Jiang Wanfu had already walked over and said softly, "Sir, we are ready and can set off at any time."
Chen Chao nodded and said, "I'm going to Shendu this time. I've already said hello to you. Song Lian will be waiting for you in Shendu. The appointment documents can't be approved until I return to Shendu. Please wait a moment."
, these days, you can walk around in Shendu, the imperial capital of Daliang is still worth visiting."
Jiang Wanfu nodded and said with a smile, "To be honest, that little girl of mine has been pestering me for a long time and asked me how many delicious food there are in Shendu. This trip to Shendu, if I take office immediately, I'm afraid I will also have to ask the adults.
Just take a leave of absence, take your daughter around, buy some delicious food, and my wife at home, I also need to buy some rouge and gouache..."
Chen Chao nodded, and when talking about food, for some reason, he thought of the girl named Zhu Xia again. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he guessed that the girl was already quite old now.
I just don’t know if that girl’s feelings are still there.
Chen Chao sighed, feeling sad.
Afterwards, Chen Chao said a few words to Jiang Wanfu as instructions, and then watched the carriage set off.
After the group left the town, Chen Chao glanced at the street corner and said helplessly, "Come out."
Not far away, a woman ran out from the corner of the street and smiled sweetly, "Sir, I hid so well, how can you still see me?"
Chen Chao twitched his lips. At his level, not to mention this small town, even outside the small town, it all depends on whether he wants to know or not.
Besides, are you sure that you are really hiding it well? That pair of embroidered shoes is just exposed in front of others, obviously you want to be discovered, right?
Although he said that he knew, Chen Chao did not reveal it. He just asked straight to the point, "Mrs. Hongyun has not been looking for you?"
Su Hu shook his head and said, "I've looked for it. Madam told me your thoughts. After I found out, I felt sad for a while and I don't know how many tears I shed."
Chen Chao frowned slightly.
Su Hu looked at Chen Chao in front of him with a smile, and said softly, "But what your lord said is right. Since your lord likes a good and good girl like Miss Xie, he really has very high standards, and he also looks down on me."
It’s normal.”
Chen Chao looked at the woman in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Actually, you don't have to compare with other women. Every woman is unique. It doesn't matter who is better than another."
It was originally a sincere statement, but what Su Hu said next left Chen Chao speechless.
"Lord Guardian, I just want to compare myself with that Miss Xie in your mind. Otherwise, why would you like me instead of me?"
she."
Su Hu opened his eyes and looked extremely pure, like a clear lake.
Chen Chao sighed slightly, most things in the world can be solved with a knife, but once the word love is contaminated, it will be difficult to deal with.
However, Su Hu soon smiled brightly, "But I know that I am much worse than Miss Xie, and I will never be able to compare with her in this life. But I don't think the guardian envoy is the kind of person who would care about her because she is very...
I just like people, but I met Miss Xie first, and since then I can no longer accommodate other women in my heart. Among these women, I, Su Hu, am not special."
Chen Chao nodded, and he quite agreed with this statement. It was not a matter of first come, first served, nor was it a matter of liking the girl he liked because she was the best in the world. It was because he pretended to be a girl in his heart that he could not tolerate others.
girl.
When Su Hu said this, she had finished everything. She waved towards Chen Chao and said with a smile, "Have a nice trip, Lord Guardian. I hope to see you again when I have the opportunity."
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Goodbye."
After that, he turned around and left the town, but instead of returning to Shendu, he probably wanted to visit Tianqing County first.
After leaving that small county town, he went back once, but it was only in a hurry. This time he planned to go back and have a look.
How is your little courtyard doing now?
Su Hu stood there and watched Chen Chao leave. When he could no longer see his back, the tears in his eyes could not help but fall.
Mrs. Hongyun came from a distance and glanced at Su Hu. Her eyes were full of distress. The woman stretched out her hand to wipe the tears of the girl in front of her whom she regarded as her daughter. She comforted her softly, "I don't blame you. I like you so much."
A man, but who told you to like such a man?"
Mrs. Hongyun thought for a while, but she still didn't say something in the end, that is, you, Su Hu, will probably keep this matter in your heart, and it will be difficult to forget it for the rest of your life, but this is not the case with the other party, maybe he will never put it in his mind.
This matter is regarded as a big deal and will not even be remembered for a long time.
Maybe one day, he will remember that there once was a woman named Su Hu who liked him.
One day a few days later, when he thought about it again, he only remembered that there was a woman who liked him.
Later, he couldn't even remember the fact that a certain woman liked him.
This is not your fault, because he has already done a good job in the beginning and never gave you the slightest chance. If you want to blame it, blame it on the person you like, who has never been in the same world as you.
…
…
Weizhou, Tianqing County.
The last spring rain has finished long ago. The rain now is considered summer rain, but the weather is not necessarily hot and dry. This summer rain comes and goes even faster.
The owner of the cotton shop not far away from Peach Blossom Lane is a lean middle-aged man, like a skinny monkey. He also happens to have the surname Hou and is the third oldest, so people call him Mr. Hou.
At this time, the business of the cotton shop was at its bleakest. People were coming and going, and one would think that not many people would set foot in this cotton shop.
However, Mr. Hou, who has long been accustomed to strange things, doesn't care. In business, it is unrealistic to think that you can make ten years of money in one go. It is also unrealistic to think that business will be good every day.
So, if you are doing business, you have food to eat, you are not hungry to death, and you have some spare money, it is good to have a drink occasionally.
Speaking of flower wine, the prices in the damn city have gone up again. There's obviously no good-looking young lady here, so why are you asking for more cash out of thin air?
Mr. Hou sighed endlessly. Even though it was like this, he did not plan to raise the price at the cotton shop. He could go there less often to drink flower wine, but if the price at his own place increased, those who could not afford to buy quilts for the winter would be
, I will definitely not buy it now.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
Actually no, it’s not that business will be bad, it’s that if there are more people, they won’t be able to survive the winters one after another.
Mr. Hou lay on the chair, looked at Xia Yu outside, and smiled, "It looks like I am still a good person. I will definitely not be left in the frying pan after I die."
"No, after you die, you will definitely have to fry it two or three times in a frying pan. After the whole bones are crispy, you will be crunched one by one by the kid."
A voice suddenly sounded. It was just words, but it didn't make sense at all.
"Who the hell is that? Why does it smell like shit as soon as you open your mouth?"
Mr. Hou stood up angrily, wondering in his heart. After the two plague gods, one big and one small, left in Peach Blossom Alley, no one knew that this area was the most difficult for him to offend. How come there are still people who dare to come here today without opening their eyes?
Are you causing trouble for me in front of my shop?
But when he opened his eyes and looked ahead, he felt a little lost.
There is a man in black robe here who is collecting the oil-paper umbrella and placing it by the wall at the door. Then he steps into the cotton-padded umbrella.
The flower shop tutted, "Old monkey, what's going on? After several years, the business of the shop is still so deserted, and it seems that it will not be able to open anymore? Tsk, it's really pitiful. I think your shop can't be opened anymore."
, your not-so-good-looking daughter may not be able to get married without a generous dowry."
At first, he was a little afraid to confirm before, but now after hearing these words, Mr. Hou was extremely convinced that the person coming was the boy who lived in Taohua Lane a few years ago.
"You he……"
Just when he was about to open his mouth to fight back, Mr. Hou covered his mouth sadly. The young man in front of him was the same person, but his identity was different.
The news that came out a few days ago was that the young man was already the governor of the Liang Dynasty. What kind of official was he? Mr. Hou actually asked about it at the time, and a boss from the county government made it clear.
, that is, only a few people in the entire Liang Dynasty.
Now, he can be said to be the most powerful person under the emperor.
Even if such a person is back now, no one would have the guts to treat him as the same guy he was back then.
Moreover, these days, he has been bragging to others from time to time that when the guardian envoy first came to Tianqing County, he was the one who provided relief!
Chen Chao glanced at Mr. Hou, frowned and said, "What's wrong, old monkey, you didn't have much courage, but you gave it all to your mother-in-law on the bed?"
Mr. Hou was still a little worried at first, but now he couldn't help it anymore and yelled, "Your uncle!"
But just after he cursed these three words, he actually regretted it. After all, this guy was really different from before. As soon as he cursed these three words, would he get himself into big trouble?
In the end, the young man just patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old monkey, you are quite courageous. Not bad."
Mr. Hou was relieved, his back was soaked, but now he glanced at Chen Chao resentfully and said, "You kid, can you stop being so startled and scary? Damn it, what is your status now?"
, can it not be scary?”
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Is this scary? When I kill people, don't you have to be scared to death on the spot?"
Mr. Hou muttered, "We know you are successful, and we are all happy for you. Why did you come back empty-handed after all this time?"
Chen Chao clicked his tongue and said, "You think I have a lot of free time every day. From north to south, I never take a break."
Mr. Hou thought for a while and nodded. He agreed with Chen Chao's statement. This guy was so successful at such a young age, and considering the news that came from time to time before, it was indeed not easy to do so.
Being an official is not that simple.
"Then what are you doing here this time? Come back and chat with us old neighbors now that you have time?"
Chen Chao sat down on the chair and exhaled a breath, "Some time ago, I almost died two or three times. I finally survived, so I thought I would come and have a look. Maybe I won't have a chance in the future."
Mr. Hou frowned and cursed, "Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? You bastard, don't you fucking die. You didn't protect us very well before. Now you have to protect the whole beam. You fucking die."
Now, who do we expect to go?"
Chen Chao asked curiously, "You're just pointing at me?"
Mr. Hou was startled and then cursed, "What are you pointing at? Damn it. I can't speak, but I also know that I want you to live, not to rely on your protection. Who told you to live in Peach Blossom?"
lane?"
Although I didn't grow up watching you, my feelings over the years were there. Even if you weren't a guardian, even if you were just a beggar on the street, no one would want you to die like this.
Chen Chao smiled, stood up with some difficulty, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, live hard and find a peaceful life for you. I hope that when you see His Majesty the Emperor in the future, you can also scold him."
Mr. Hou was shocked and turned pale. He rushed to the door and took a look around to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Then he cursed, "Are you really crazy?!"
Chen Chao didn't say anything, just laughed.
…
…
In the capital of the gods, the cicadas chirp again.
Over there in the bamboo building, two young men sat under the eaves, sighing.
In fact, it was the older boy who sighed more, while the younger boy only sighed after his senior brother sighed a lot.
Further away, there was a much taller girl with a small bamboo knife hanging on her waist. She was far away from her two senior brothers, as if she didn't care to be with them.
The young man who was the eldest brother glanced at the young man beside him and suddenly said, "Xiao He, why don't we just stop doing this and give him..."
He Liang, who was on the side, heard what his senior brother said and quickly reached out to cover his senior brother's mouth with a look of horror on his face, "Brother, what did you say? Uncle Yu is a great swordsman. Let's not talk about taking action. He is looking at us.
One look and we are all dead."
Yu Qingfeng took He Liang's hand away from his mouth, frowned and said, "Do you really think I'm a fool? I mean...
He is left here, let's run away. It's not a big deal to serve him all day long. I don't know whether what he said is true or not. Why do I feel that our master must have contributed the most in that battle?
Master saved his life, but he did not save our master."
He Liang thought for a while and said with some uncertainty, "Master Yu is not such a person, is he?"
Yu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Regardless of his high level, I always feel that he is not a good person. Xiao He, when traveling in the world, you have to be careful."
He Liang nodded, but then he remembered something and said softly, "Senior brother, after all, I have been serving Uncle Yu these days, isn't it? Why are you reacting like this?"
As soon as he said these words, He Liang was slapped by Yu Qingfeng, "Silly boy, I feel sorry for you, can't you even notice this?"
He Liang was beaten, but he wasn't angry, he just smiled.
The little junior sister Ning Qingnian who was in the distance glanced here and sighed. Although the little girl is young, she can still see some things clearly. This second senior brother of mine has a really good temper.
At this time, two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the distance. The tall man stopped in the distance and glanced not far away. There was a man in official uniform who nodded.
Then the man knelt down and said a few words to his daughter, then stood up and watched his daughter walk forward on her own.
The two teenagers over there were still discussing whether to run away. The little girl here came over. After Yu Qingfeng saw it, he jumped down from the steps, walked over with a smile and asked, "Which little girl is this from?"
, You went to the wrong place? Do you want my brother to take you home? "
The little girl glanced at him, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still mustered up the courage to ask, "Excuse me, is Yu Dajianxian here?"
When Yu Xiyi was mentioned, Yu Qingfeng became furious and waved his hands, "There is no such person."
This friend of his master, after returning to the divine capital, occupied the magpie's nest and came to this bamboo building. The two of them have been taking care of him these days. No, to be precise, it has been He Liang.
Taking care of this great swordsman who has become famous all over the world.
What's even more annoying is that the guy would talk to them about the previous battle from time to time, saying that if it weren't for him, his master would have died in Chixin Guan.
Anyway, he felt that this was not credible, but his junior brother felt that there was no problem.
The little girl was startled and frowned her little eyebrows. When Yu Qingfeng saw the other party like this, he softened his heart and quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, where is the Yu Da Sword Immortal over here? Little girl, can it be him?"
My illegitimate daughter? Here to find a bride?"
As soon as He Liang stood up and walked towards this side, he heard his senior brother talking nonsense, and quickly stepped forward to make up for it and said, "Don't listen to my senior brother's nonsense, little girl."
Before the little girl could say anything, the door of the bamboo building over there was pushed open. The sleepy man looked displeased and said, "Who is making a noise here? I don't know that this swordsman is sleeping?"
The Great Sword Immortal rubbed his eyes, then saw the little girl, and smiled curiously, "Tsk, tsk, whose little girl is so pretty, where is your mother? Is she over here?"
As soon as the free-spirited swordsman opened his mouth, He Liang put his hand on his forehead. Hey, he had a headache.
The little girl over there was startled for a moment, then burst into tears, then turned around and cried, "Dad, I won't practice sword practice anymore!"
Yu Xiyi was confused, what are you talking about?
In the distance, the helpless man glanced at the other man next to him. The latter was a little embarrassed and his face was slightly red. "This great swordsman is just so... approachable..."
After saying this, the current commander of the right guard, who was quite powerful, walked out bravely and said with a smile, "Yu Jianxian, this little girl's name is Jiang Xiao'an, and she is the disciple the guard has found for you."
"What?"
Yu Xiyi was startled and immediately yelled, "That stinky boy, when will I accept a disciple and ask him to take care of it? Where are the others? Find them and let me give them a beating!"
Song Lian looked at Yu Xiyi seriously, and said in his heart, "The guardian envoy said that if Yu Dajianxian is unwilling to accept it, then he has nothing to do, but if he embarrasses him, he may also embarrass Yu Jianxian..."
Yu Xiyi's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly looked at the little girl who was walking away. His figure disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the little girl.
The Great Sword Immortal squatted down and said with a serious smile, "Blame me, blame me, I made a mistake. This little girl is just a talent for practicing swordsmanship. Who wouldn't regret missing out on such a good talent? Well, well, well, I still have it."
We have to thank our commander-in-chief. When he returns to the capital of the gods, I will treat him to a good meal."
Song Lian smiled slightly. When the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what the means are.
The man in the distance breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Qingfeng twitched his lips.
As for He Liang, he first glanced at the junior sister, then looked into the distance and rubbed his eyes.
He was now looking forward to his master's return to the Capital of Gods.
