Chapter 14
Ever since Wang An and the others walked downstairs together, there had been no incidents of animals blocking the way. Zhong Wan guessed that the martial arts masters here might be born with a domineering aura, able to deter the weak.All the way from Zhili to Kyoto, the prosperity of the Chen Dynasty gradually unfolded in Zhong Wan's eyes.The power of merchants in Gyeonggi is not comparable to that of Jinzhou, and from time to time, a long caravan passes by King An's team.
It was only then that Zhong Wan figured out that Jinzhou was adjacent to Zhili, but they were not very rich. All the big merchants would go to Gyeonggi to develop.He looked at Wang An who was in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a crime!
According to Wang An's previous compliments to Li Xingchui, this Tanhualang should be a person who exists in the sky and the earth. rich.If there is such a person, it is indeed a pity to die by assassination.
Half-believing, Zhong Wan arrived in the capital under the escort of Qin Feng, Lu Ziqian and others.Traveling in a carriage all the way, when they arrived at Prince An's Mansion, Zhong Wan entered a labyrinth-like courtyard without seeing him.Needless to say, the carved beams and painted buildings and beautiful trees are verdant in the palace. What is rare is the winding corridors. The maids and women who pass by from time to time all lower their heads and lower their eyes, calm and restrained.Although he knew that such high-ranking nobles had great rules, but with Wang An's character, the scene in the mansion was also like this, which inevitably made Zhong Wan even more timid.
King An lives in the Weizhen Courtyard in the central axis of the palace, and the yard he arranged for Zhong Wan is next to it.Zhong Wan is also someone who has watched TV dramas, and knows that this kind of place is usually reserved for concubines who are favored by concubines, but thinking about it carefully, this treatment is all because of the legendary Tanhua Lang, so he doesn't worry about it.
Although Wang An looks like a idle little prince, he seems to be very popular in the capital. He often goes out of the house, and occasionally someone comes to see him.Zhong Wan was very bored in the huge palace, because King An didn't have concubines, he didn't even have the chance to watch house fights, so he had to talk to the maids all day long.
"Zhuxiang, are your highness and Tanhualang close friends?"
Zhu Xiang looked puzzled, "Young Master Zhong, servants and maidservants have never been allowed to talk too much about His Highness's affairs."
Zhong Wan was so bored that grass grew on his head, one day he thought about it, is he being taken care of by someone?Anyway, Wang An didn't need much food to keep him, and even if Li Xingchui couldn't be found, it could relieve his inner anxiety.
"Princess, Princess Qiluo! You can't do it!" The chief eunuch Bi En's dissuasion came from outside the door. Before Zhong Wan could react, the servant outside lowered his head to report that it was Princess Qiluo who broke into the door. I want to see him alive and well.
Come on, another one came because Tanhualang heard about it.
It seems that the gossip heard in Chengwu County earlier was not groundless, maybe the reason why the emperor offered a reward to find someone was caused by his younger brother and younger sister.Zhong Wan hid in the room and did not go out, for fear that Princess Qi Luo would be beaten up if she disagreed with her.
Not long after, Bi En stood outside the screen and persuaded: "My lord, this servant has nothing to do. The princess put down her words and said that she would not leave if she couldn't see you today. On weekdays, the princess decides things, even His Highness... ..."
Zhong Wan understood the meaning of Bi En's words.It seems that the princess doesn't have so many scruples when she wants to meet a foreigner. Anyway, she is favored, so she must rely on her.
"Grassman Zhong Wan, meet Princess Qiluo." Zhong Wan sighed inwardly, not daring to look directly at the princess's face.
"Look up and show me, why are you so unfavorable." Princess Qiluo was very impatient, but there was no contempt as imagined in her words.Zhong Wan was a little surprised, and looked up to let Princess Qiluo see the whole thing.The latter looked at it seriously, and asked after a while, "Brother An Wang said, don't you recognize Li Xingchui?"
Zhong Wan nodded. Just as she was about to show her innocence, Princess Qi Luo slammed the armrest of the pear flower wooden chair and said, "I knew it! You must have lost your soul and lost your memory!"
"Grass people—"
Before Zhong Wan, who was completely confused, could finish her sentence, Princess Qi Luo said firmly, "Bi En, I want to take Zhong Wan to the Reclining Buddha Temple to visit Master Huiming. When Brother An comes back, please tell him."
The nanny who came with the princess tried hard to dissuade her, but as Bi En said, the beloved little princess was so stubborn that she would not obey no matter who said her, and finally moved out of the emperor: "Don't forget, this But the emperor brother allowed me to leave the palace, he knew that I was going to come to Prince An's mansion, and he didn't dissuade me."
Bi En understood the meaning behind the princess's words. The current Holy Majesty has always spared no effort to support the search for Li Xingchui. Now that he has finally found the clues, he has no choice but to die as a living doctor.
So Zhong Wan was taken into a carriage in a daze, and under the protection of layers of guards, he arrived at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha in the suburbs of Beijing.According to Princess Qiluo, Master Huiming was a young man who had enlightened to the Tao and knew the secrets of heaven. He had been traveling abroad for the past ten years and only recently returned to Beijing.Although she is a princess, she only had a relationship with the master once.There is a wing room in the monastery for pilgrims to rest overnight. According to Princess Qiluo, she plans to stay here until the master is willing to see them.
In the pine forest courtyard, just as Zhong Wan sat down at the stone table, he saw a young novice coming to recite the Buddha, bowed to Princess Qiluo, and said: "This female benefactor, the abbot welcomes you."
Princess Qiluo was stunned, pointed at Zhong Wan, and asked, "What about him?"
"The abbot only asked the young monk to invite the female benefactor to go alone."
Princess Qiluo was puzzled, but she thought that the emperor's brother often said that the secrets of heaven should not be revealed, so she stopped pressing.Zhong Wan secretly sighed, everyone said that the princess was savage, but this one seemed to be quite measured.
Not long after Princess Qiluo left, the little novice came up to offer tea and said with a smile, "This is the Nanshan Bailu planted by this temple. Please give me a taste."
Naturally, Zhong Wan didn't understand these things. On the way up the mountain, he saw a lush tea forest. He thought it was the custom of drinking tea in temples.He was going to finish drinking it later, and whether he understood it or not, he would pretend to be delicious and boast about it.
Zhong Wan picked up the teacup and was about to pass it to his mouth when suddenly he heard the sound of a gust of wind. He only felt a pain in his lower back, and in the blink of an eye he couldn't help taking a few steps back, and he was three or four feet away from the stone table.He subconsciously turned his head to look at the person who was dragging him, but the bridge of his nose bumped against his hard collarbone, which was excruciatingly painful.
"Why are you so careless?" Zhong Wan raised his head and could only see the side face of the man. He just felt a sense of familiarity, when he heard the guards following him exclaim in surprise, mixed with excited shouts——
"Go and report to the princess!"
The man let go of him, turned around, went to the stone table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of Nanshan Bailu into an unused teacup, and drank it all in one gulp, "The tea is good tea, but I'm really thirsty. Kindness."
The little novice bowed with palms together, and said with a smile, "The tea itself is clear, so don't worry about it."
It was only then that Zhong Wan saw that where he was sitting just now, there was a short arrow stuck obliquely in the soil, and pieces of broken porcelain were scattered all over the ground.So the man in front of him, dressed in white clothes trimmed with "nouveau riche gold", was his savior.
"This..." He was about to ask his name, but the other party put down his teacup and turned around to smile at him.Those sly cat pupils are unforgettable once you see them.Zhong Wan was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't expect that Tanhualang, whom the court had been looking for for a long time, would appear in such an inexplicable way, and he seemed safe and happy.
Should I tell him that the emperor, prince and princess have been looking for him for two or three years?
Li Xingchui saw him blankly, amused in his heart, but said unforgivingly: "I saved you, don't you even say thank you?"
"Thank you Tanhualang for saving your life." Zhong Wan thanked him politely, and then began to meditate with worry.His heart is full of worries about the deserted fields in the village.
Now that Tanhualang has appeared, it means that his task has been completed, and he can return to Wu County to continue farming in a few days.Waiting for him will soon be a miserable field and fruit forest, maybe there will be a group of starving chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. Thinking about it, I feel very heartbroken.
Li Xingchui was even more unhappy than him.After a lot of hard work, it was hard to see the superior, and it was still in the situation of saving lives, but the stupid follower had no intention of worshiping him at all.You must know that when I was nominated on the gold list and paraded through the streets on a tall horse, the sachets and handkerchiefs thrown by the girls could overwhelm people.
I thought that meeting in human form would save some face, but who knew that Zhong Wan would not even be so sincere in thanking her.
Li Xingchui coughed twice, put on airs and said, "Is it just a word to save a life?"
According to the idea of the cat owner, the next step should be to promise each other with his body, no matter how bad it is, he must be a cow and a horse.But it took Zhong Wan a while to come back to his senses, and he opened his mouth, "I'm sorry, I have nothing to give you..."
This Tan Hua Lang seems to be quite different from what Wang An said, but the little prince praised him for his perfection, how could he care about this with Yi Jie Bai Ding?
Seeing Zhong Wan's suspicious expression, Li Xingchui couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.Long before he decided to meet, he had made up his mind that he would not tell Zhong Wan that he was Sanhuang until the last moment.When he left, he saw how deeply Zhong Wan was hurt.If he revealed his identity rashly, with Zhong Wan's temper, he would definitely not easily expose the previous matter.But if you don't tell him...
To be honest, Li Xingchui is now deeply aware of his worthlessness in his bones.He just wanted to get close to Zhong Wan as soon as possible, just like when he was hugged in the warm arms to sleep in the small village house.That idiot was obviously so cold that he was dying, but he still wanted to cover him tightly.
"Li Xingchui!"
Princess Qiluo walked over from the small pine forest aggressively. She stopped in front of Li Xingchui, gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't seen you for two years. It seems that you have a good life. But because of you, I couldn't get married for two years. "
