After Lei Xiaohuan and four other people arrived at Jinling Mansion in a flying boat, they were personally greeted by the real person in charge of Jiangnan Dao Mansion. Then Lei Xiaohuan, Lu Yushu, Li Mingzhi, and Li Ming went to Zhenwu Temple to meet Zhang Yuelu who had been waiting here.
, Bai Yingqiong and Pei Xiaolou met and officially started investigating the case.
These days, the case regarding the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce is progressing fairly smoothly. Although the Yuan family has been destroyed and a large number of account books have been destroyed, the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce has been operating for many years and has a wide range of involvements. If we really want to investigate, it is not impossible to start.
This was Lei Xiaohuan's first time working with Zhang Yuelu. Before, he had only heard of his name for a long time. After a few days of contact, Lei Xiaohuan had to admit that it was not unreasonable for Zhang Yuelu to hold a high position at such a young age.
In terms of attitude alone, none of the six old people can match the newcomer Zhang Yuelu. After arriving as a deity, they usually use Qi training, meditation, meditation, etc. to replace sleep, but they still habitually call it falling asleep. Usually they are
When they were getting ready to fall asleep, the lights were still on in Zhang Yuelu's room. When they got up early in the morning, Zhang Yuelu had not rested yet. He stayed up all night for several days. Even with the support of his realm cultivation, he couldn't work so hard.
For those who didn’t know, they thought she had a deep hatred for Yanqing Merchant.
In fact, Zhang Yuelu herself knew that she had no deep grudge against the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce. Although Qi Xuansu said that her heart was bright, beauty was more or less in the eye of the beholder. She was not a saint, she had selfish motives and thoughts, and she was a young man.
Far from being so determined.
Qi Xuansu's death was a big blow to Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu also understood that she couldn't be miserable and crying like a charming lady all day long. She had to cheer up and not show any weakness.
In a sense, this is also a test. Why can you be in a high position?
To put it mildly, Tiangang Hall is the sharp sword of the Taoist sect. No one can die in a battle. As the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall, he has a huge responsibility on his shoulders. If someone dies, he will cry out for revenge. This battle will be
There is no way to fight.
Speaking at a higher level, the Taoist sect's Grand Master is responsible for the fate of the entire Taoist sect. If the Taoist sect and the Holy Court are at war, and the Holy Court captures the Grand Master's lover, the Grand Master will become angry and drag the entire Taoist sect with him.
Trying your best to do it is dereliction of duty and irresponsible to the Taoist sect. It is undoubtedly unacceptable.
The great master is the great master of the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect is not the Taoist sect of the great master.
For Taoist people, being emotional is a sign of immaturity and a huge demerit.
Nowadays, Master Qingwei, Master Cihang, and Master Donghua are vying for the position of Grand Master. If any of them makes a fuss about being a beauty, it is equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the competition for the Grand Master.
People in the Taoist sect can accept an emperor-like master who is dictatorial, they can accept a sage-like master who forgets all love, or they can accept a Wuwei master who rules from the top down, but they cannot accept this kind of master.
A weak and emotional leader.
Zhang Yuelu was too dazzling, with countless pairs of eyes staring at her. If she still wanted to implement her ideals, then she had to hide her weakness and sadness.
So Zhang Yuelu came up with a way, which was to divert his attention through various things. Put all his energy into various things and temporarily forget his sadness.
But whenever it was quiet at night, she couldn't help but think of Qi Xuansu when she was alone.
In fact, she was a little confused, how could the two people become a couple inexplicably?
Aren't they the unparalleled heroes descending from the sky on colorful auspicious clouds?
Aren't they just sharing the same boat to take shelter from the rain?
None of these.
Looking back carefully, the first time the two met was in a weapons shop, and their real intersection was when they were mistakenly misunderstood as a Taoist couple and were dragged to a wedding to drink together.
Not romantic, not freehand, but interesting.
Next, because of the file matter, the two met again. It was obvious that at that time, he had no idea at all, and was more defensive. She did have some interest, but it was just an interest.
Then he worked with him, went to the Western Regions, and killed Diswein.
After these things, she felt quite fond of him, but she couldn't say how much she liked him.
But it was precisely because of this good impression that she came up with an extremely bold idea, which was to take him home and stop her mother's mouth.
Now it seemed that this was a bad idea, but it was difficult for her to explain clearly what her mentality was when she made such a decision.
Is it just to block her mother's mouth? In fact, she can also ask Master Cihang. Master also has the right to speak on her marriage, and because of Cihang's special status, the weight is not light. As long as Master
If you come forward, my mother will definitely compromise.
So, how much weight does this good feeling play in it?
She herself couldn't explain it clearly.
As they embarked on their way home together, various sudden changes seemed to indicate that this trip was destined to not have a good outcome, but neither of them believed this. They experienced life and death along the way.
But it was these experiences of life and death that quickly brought the relationship between the two closer.
She felt that she actually quite liked him.
Why don't you like it?
Do you have to be from a noble family and be of a high level to be worthy of being liked?
So she wanted to go back on her word. She wanted to apologize to him and stop this ridiculous plan. She didn't want him to go to her home at this time, but he refused.
Of course, she could feel that he had also changed. He was no longer defensive and became eager and somewhat proactive in catering. At first, she mistakenly thought that this kind of catering was because the two of them had the same goals, but then she gradually figured it out.
, this kind of pandering is probably just because I like it.
If he didn't like it, he wouldn't provoke the Lingshan Witch Cult, wouldn't take risks in Yishan City, and wouldn't have his arm broken in Baidi City.
An old Jianghu must be well versed in the way of protecting oneself wisely. It is only the impulse between men and women that makes people blindly impulsive.
It's just that he is very restrained and unwilling to cater to him without any limit and lose himself.
Finally, the two arrived at Shangqing Mansion and returned to their home in Yunjin Mountain.
The attitudes of her cousin Zhang Yuyue and her mother Tantai Qiong were expected and reasonable. But before that, she had always been somewhat lucky. The two of them completely shattered her luck and made her very angry.
On the contrary, he was very calm, seemed to have expected it, and even laughed.
Because of this, Zhang Yuelu did not want to stay at home and would return to Yujing as soon as the New Year was over.
This became her biggest regret and regret.
This trip still had the worst outcome.
At the last moment, Qi Xuansu jumped with all his strength, giving her the last chance of life.
When things come to an end, you have to let go, but it's not that easy to do.
Although she doesn't like regrets, she has thought about it more than once, what would have happened if she hadn't taken him home for the New Year?
Probably everything is still fine, she will promote him to be the boss, and he must be very happy, because the boss will get extra subsidies, and he is always sensitive and fussy about Taiping money.
She will not take the initiative to ask to leave Yujing to suppress the secret society, so the two of them will have more time to get along. In their free time, they can visit Taiqing City, watch new plays, or play Xuan Sheng cards.
Or maybe she won't be alone in this investigation, and naturally she won't be so desperate. They can take a walk around to appreciate the scenery of Jinling, go to the Saint Temple, the Great Baoen Temple, etc. during their free time.
Yanziji, Yuhuatai.
It would not be like today, where she rarely leaves Zhenwu Temple and lives in seclusion. When she does go out, she only catches people.
She also believes in his ability and will be able to wear the sword of wisdom one day. If they go home together at that time, maybe it will be a different situation. Maybe her mother is willing to put on a kind face and be a little more polite, maybe he can become a friend with his father.
As a couple who has been friends for many years, maybe the two of them can walk into the Da Zhen Mansion together and go to see the Celestial Master, instead of her going to see the Celestial Master alone and him having to wait outside.
It was late at night, the lights were turned off, and the mercury-like moonlight shone in through the window.
Zhang Yuelu pushed aside the various files on the table, leaving a small space, then lay down on the table, burying his mouth in his arms, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Because my mouth was covered, I made some loud noises: "I have a bad temper, and I am not gentle or considerate. I know that many people say that I am domineering and pretentious behind my back. If I just leave it alone,
How many people with various identities are willing to deal with me? I'm afraid there are not many."
She blinked: "What about you, why do you like me?"
She was the only one here, so naturally no one answered.
She asked herself and answered: "You can't tell, right? Actually, I can't tell either. I can't explain clearly. I'm confused, right?"
"If I had a choice, I would rather not have met you, then you would not accompany me to Yunjin Mountain. I am still me, and you are still you."
"You are the most stupid person in the world. Why would you risk your life for an unpleasant woman? Isn't it better to be alive?"
