Chapter 105: A Carefree Journey among Flowers·Thirty-three
Wanhua has now begun to take shape, with dozens of disciples, about a hundred extraordinary people, and dozens of servants. With them taking care of miscellaneous matters, Xiao Hao has a lot of free time.
Because Qianqian performed very well during the time when Fu Cailin came to Wanhua, Xiao Hao considered her to have passed the test. Every day, in addition to helping Sun Simiao take care of and receive patients who came from afar to seek medical treatment, she spent the rest of her time teaching the two little loli homework. Shang Xiufang
was gentle and quiet. In addition to teaching her the art of playing the zither, Xiao Hao also taught her some poetry, songs, and medical skills, and regarded her as a personal disciple. Xiao Hao could almost see that within a few years, when Shang Xiufang grew up to be a graceful and elegant lady, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world, with both beauty and talent.
As for Qianqian, this girl was naughty and had a much more erratic temperament than Shang Xiufang. She was obedient, but no one in the valley could keep an eye on her except Xiao Hao. Xiao Hao had no choice but to teach her what she liked.
On this day, Xiao Hao was taking care of the patients in the valley as usual. Shang Xiufang was obediently helping him watch the medicine pot and fanning herself with a small cattail leaf fan to help him boil the medicine.
Suddenly, a disciple came to report that many people had come from outside the valley, led by a group of women in white. Xiao Hao's face froze, then he raised his brows and said softly to the disciple who delivered the message, "I've heard about it. You should receive them well to the Zhaixing Tower and don't be negligent."
He saluted to Sun Simiao and apologized, "Master Sun, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
Sun Simiao didn't care and returned the salute leisurely, "It's okay, it's okay. The valley master has guests, you can go and entertain them yourself. I'm too busy here."
Xiao Hao nodded gratefully at him, and used his great lightness skills to fly towards Sanxing Wangyue.
There is a large platform in front of the Zhaixing Tower, where students can be taught or guests can be received on weekdays. Xiao Hao thought of the recent turmoil outside the valley and had vaguely guessed the purpose of Cihang Jingzhai's visit.
As soon as he landed, he saw the girl, Kankan, sitting on the eaves of the Zhaixing Tower, with two cute little feet dangling in the air. Xiao Hao called her down and asked her to play somewhere else.
Those who practice Tianmo Strategy will have some strange feelings with those who practice Cihang Sword Classic. If Kankan is in his valley and is noticed by those people in Cihang Jingzhai, who knows what they will think.
Kanan was having fun and had no idea why Xiao Hao asked her to come down. When she heard that he wanted her to change places, she said unhappily, "Why are you trying to stop me, sir? Kan'er didn't play any tricks on you today!" But she still flew down from the eaves obediently.
Xiao Hao touched her head and squatted down and said, "There are guests visiting the valley. You are a disciple of the Demon Sect. If you are seen by those people from the righteous path,
I am afraid there will be trouble." Kankan's little face wrinkled, and she tilted her head suspiciously, saying unconvincedly, "So what if we are seen? I'm not afraid of them! Master said that when traveling in the world, there is nothing to pay special attention to except the nuns in Cihang Jingzhai."
Xiao Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Unfortunately, the nuns from Cihang Jingzhai are the ones who came."
"Oh!" Kankan exclaimed, hesitated for a while and said, "Then I'll listen to you, master." Zhu Yuyan once told her that before she practiced the Heavenly Demon Method to the thirteenth level, she must not easily face the people from Cihang Jingzhai. She has just reached the sixth level now, so her life is still at stake.
Just as she was about to slip away, she heard a clear and pleasant female voice coming from the ladder: "We came in a hurry and did not inform you in advance. I hope you won't blame us!"
Kankan's face changed and she said in panic: "So fast?!"
Xiao Hao picked her up and pushed her into the Zhaixing Pavilion. He gathered his inner strength and closed the door. He whispered to her, "Hide well and don't come out."
Kankan's martial arts skills were still shallow, so she could only pray that these people would not notice this place.
Xiao Hao stepped forward and said, "Master Fan, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as graceful as before."
He looked around and suddenly felt something was wrong. In addition to the people from Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, there were some Turkic people dressed in foreign clothes, including Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin. However, they were wrapped tightly in dark cloaks, obviously not wanting to be recognized. His heart sank, wondering what Cihang Jingzhai was up to.
These nuns are so proud that they invited two of the three great masters. They are not friendly, so it is better to be careful.
"I am flattered by the sudden visit of the two masters. Why are you still hiding it?"
Fu Cailin and the other man looked at each other, took off their hoods and smiled, "Valley Master has a good eye!"
Seeing that he recognized the true faces of the two at once, Fan Qinghui bowed respectfully and said to Xiao Hao, "I'm ashamed. I came here today because I have something important to tell you!"
"Oh?" Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows and showed an interested look, "Master Fan, please go ahead."
Fan Qinghui took a step sideways, and a beautiful lady with the same temperament as her walked out from behind her. Xiao Hao was slightly stunned and was a little surprised to see the name above her head.
"This is my junior sister Xiuxin."
Bi Xiuxin bowed and said, "Bi Xiuxin has seen the Valley Master."
Xiao Hao's mind was full of questions. Why did Cihang Jingzhai make such a big fuss? Bi Xiuxin and he had nothing to do with each other. In all these years, he had never heard Shi Zhixuan mention that he was in love with any girl. He thought that this evil king was obsessed with the ideal mission of unifying the world and had forgotten about love.
Could it be that these two people secretly developed some feelings? But what does this have to do with him? ?
He hurriedly lifted Bi Xiuxin up, and said with a stiff face and a smile: "...Miss, there is no need to be so polite. What exactly brings you to Wanhua today?"
Fan Qinghui looked embarrassed, lowered her head and looked to one side and said: "Let Junior Sister Xiuxin explain it to you!"
Xiao Hao was more certain that this matter was related to Shi Zhixuan, and he couldn't help but have some unspeakable emotions in his heart. This guy got into a romantic debt outside, and people came to his door, but he never mentioned a word when they were in private chat. Does this person regard himself as a friend?
Only Bi Xiuxin said: "Valley Master, let's get straight to the point. This matter concerns national affairs and must not be concealed."
National affairs?
Xiao Hao was even more confused. How did this involve national affairs again? Wasn't it because of Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin? Did they secretly invite Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin for this matter?
"Please give me some advice, young lady."
Bi Xiu stared at his every expression anxiously, looked him in the eye and asked, "Does the Valley Master know Pei Ju?"
Xiao Hao was slightly stunned. Only he and Shi Zhixuan's confidants should know that Shi Zhixuan is Pei Ju. Unless someone betrays Shi Zhixuan, it is impossible to be recognized. In the original book, if Cao Yinglong had not betrayed, this matter would have become a secret forever and there would be no chance of being known to the world.
Cihang Jingzhai actually knew about this so early?
Xiao Hao was full of doubts, but he said calmly: "Of course I know. Wanhua had previously looked for a knowledgeable person to go to the court to help the country, and it was this person."
Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions seemed a little nervous. Bi Xiuxin and Fan Qinghui looked at each other, and continued to ask: "Does the Valley Master know the true identity of this person?"
Xiao Hao smiled and said: "If you want to do this, you don't have to worry so much. Zhixuan is proficient in both civil and military strategies. Wanhua carefully considered it before letting him do it." He paused and added: "It's just because of his special identity. I'm afraid you can't accept it and it will cause trouble for him, so I didn't tell you."
Fan Qinghui shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "Hey... sir, you, you are confused!"
The four great monks also chanted the Buddha's name with a sad face.
Xiao Hao's face turned colder, and he asked, "What's the reason for this?"
Bi Xiuxin stepped forward and continued to ask Xiao Hao, "So, the Valley Master knew from the beginning that Shi Zhixuan was Pei Ju? It was you who arranged for him to enter the court?"
Xiao Hao thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with saying this, so he nodded.
This time, everyone's faces changed, and they looked at Xiao Hao with some hesitation.
Xiao Hao took in their reactions, and his mind became clearer.
Bi Xiuxin said in a complicated tone, "Master, do you know how much misunderstanding your answer will cause to the people present?"
Xiao Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Where did you say 'misunderstanding'?"
He touched his chin, pretending to be enlightened, and deliberately said, "Oh, I understand. I told you the fate of Sui Dynasty in front of you. In order to confirm this prophecy, I deceived you and sent the real big devil to the court on the pretext of consolidating the country. In fact, it was secretly destroying the country of Sui Dynasty. Now that wars are raging all over the world, are you here to find me to call me to task?"
Fan Qinghui immediately said, "Sir, don't talk nonsense!"
"Nonsense?" Xiao Hao snorted coldly, his voice as cold as ice: "Every word I answered just now is true, there is no falsehood."
Bi Xiuxin sighed faintly: "The Valley Master is so protective of that devil, do you know that he is lying to you!"
Xiao Hao just thought it was extremely funny. The life and death relationship given by the system was definitely better than Bi Xiuxin's one-sided words. He laughed softly and said: "Zhixuan and I are a gentleman's friendship, We are close friends, if he lied to me, how could I not notice it? "
Bi Xiuxin said loudly: "He took advantage of the trust of the master, seemingly loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and made plans for the Sui Dynasty everywhere, but in fact he gradually exerted his destructive power, causing the Sui Dynasty to be at odds with its neighbors. His wolfish ambition is not to support the country, but to replace the master of the world! Please be clear!"
"Compared to this, I am more curious about how you know that Zhixuan is Pei Ju?"
Master Zhizhi continued, "That demon once sneaked into our group to steal the essence of Buddhism. We have been with him day and night, and we know that he often carries a golden ring made of special materials, which is unique in the world. Someone pointed out the other day that Pei Ju has an identical one. He is so brazen, which is really provocative."
Xiao Hao frowned, it seems that there is no spy in the demon sect. The Qiushui Changtian Ring is not a rare item, why is Shi Zhixuan so careless, and he does not even try to hide it when he pretends to enter the court.
Seeing that he was serious, Bi Xiuxin thought that he was wavering, so she took the opportunity to say, "Looking at what this man has done, he instigated the division of the Turks, which has led to endless internal strife among the Turks in recent years, causing heavy casualties among the people; he has monopolized the power of the Western Regions, making it so that except for him, no one in the court is more familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions than him. In front of the emperor, the other ministers have no qualifications to propose to interfere; he has also lured the emperor to the east several times, undermining the emperor's plan. The relationship between the three kingdoms of Goryeo, Turkic and Sui. If his evil plan succeeds, I am afraid that the valley master will be in danger in the future! "
Xiao Hao was furious when he heard their argument that merit was a conspiracy. He suppressed his anger and laughed: "In danger?"
Bi Xiuxin looked at him seriously and said word by word: "The valley master doesn't know that the devil has been plotting against... against you for a long time! He said it himself that he is a cut-sleeve!"
The author has something to say: Ritian: ... I feel like you got the wrong script?
Bi Xiuxin: Valley master, wake up! The devil wants to eat you! Don't defend him anymore!
Ritian: ... Wait a minute, why don't I understand a word...
Cihang Jingzhaizhong: (whispering) The valley master is so kind and cute, and he was deceived by the devil. I bet he is the lower one!
Ritian: ??? What misunderstandings do you have about me? ???
