| Exclusive publication of Banxia Novel |
*
Wang Linhua is now on his way to Luoyang with the head and eldest disciple of the Salted Fish Sect.
In addition to these two people, there is also a prince of Taiping.
About a month after Xiao Qingzhou and Yu Luosha went to the Western Regions, Wang Linhua received a letter from his mother, asking him to go back.
Although he had already explained to his mother why he did not return home, when the day of returning really came, Wang Linhua was still a little hesitant.
It was not that he did not want to go back, but he did not know how to face his mother... and Chai Yuguan, who was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Bu Zao was very considerate and said that he would go with him, and Chongming also told him that Chai Yuguan was still alive and well.
"..."
Wang Linhua did not speak, but his face clearly said "How do you even know this?"
Chongming was calm.
In the end, Wang Linhua had three more companions on the way back. The head and Chongming were fine, but it was surprising that Gong Jiu wanted to go with them. This man had loyal subordinates, but he sent them away and went alone with Wang Linhua and others.
Wang Linhua always thought that if Gong Jiu had to go with someone, it must be the most likable member of the Salted Fish Sect - the mascot Wangcai.
In response, Gong Jiu slowly said: "It's not my dog."
So Wangcai went to the Ghost Valley with Wudu.
Wang Linhua was in a very complicated mood and was too lazy to talk. What made him even more complicated was that on the way to Luoyang, the Prince of Taiping showed them all kinds of ways to get lost.
Chongming had no intention of looking for him, and said, "Let him go, he won't die."
The head of the sect disagreed, "Your Highness is very useful."
He put on that weird smiling mask again, and Wang Lianhua suspected that the mask was his true self.
The cold Chongming quickly softened his attitude, showing a reluctant and unwilling expression of "It's okay to look for him."
Wang Lianhua: "..."
No matter how long he watched, he was still not used to Chongming being so well-behaved in front of the head of the sect.
Wangcai was not there, so if he wanted to find Gong Jiu, he could only ask others, but for some reason, the three of them acted separately, and Chongming must be the first to find Gong Jiu.
Wang Lianhua did not hide her curiosity and asked Chongming, "Are you a dog nose?"
Chongming did not speak, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to him, and the headmaster stretched out his hand, held it in front of the disciples, and said seriously, "Our Chongming is a human, don't confuse his species." As soon as he said
that, Chongming looked at him, his eyes flashing. The headmaster himself also raised his hand to cover his mask and fell silent, as if he was embarrassed by what he said.
Wang Lianhua: "..."
Gong Jiu: "..."
Headmaster Bu was cheerful and lively in front of people other than disciples. No matter whether what he said was sincere or not, at least there was a give and take, which made people feel that he was sincere. However, when facing disciples and talking about matters related to disciples, the headmaster always behaved quite... reserved.
Just like at this moment, it was the headmaster who was shy and embarrassed even though he was about to say something to protect his disciples.
The ears covered by the black hair and the mask were probably red enough to bleed.
Wang Linhua said with mixed feelings: "Why are you shy about what you said?" The headmaster
put down his hand that was holding the mask and said stubbornly: "What are you shy about?"
The smiling eyes on the mask were crescent-shaped, and his tone was flat, revealing an unfathomable indifference.
"..."
Wang Linhua thought to himself, Bu Zao is really good at bluffing.
The journey to Luoyang was spent between Gong Jiu getting lost and looking for the lost Ninth Young Master. Wang Linhua's complaints at the beginning turned into habits later, although such habits made people feel quite complicated.
Wang Lianhua suggested that Gong Jiu raise a dog, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in a tone that raising a dog is very troublesome.
"How do you know if you don't raise one?" Wang Lianhua said.
Before Gong Jiu could answer, the head of the sect answered for him: "Because you will never meet another puppy as smart, cute and majestic as Wangcai. Right?"
"..." Gong Jiu glanced at him.
A triumphant laugh came from behind the mask of the head of the sect.
Even Wang Lianhua felt that he deserved a beating.
The closer they got to Luoyang, the more uneasy Wang Lianhua seemed. His reasons for leaving home were legitimate, and Fairy Yunmeng also knew about it, but he had been away from home for too long.
He was afraid that his mother would know that he left Luoyang to avoid facing Chai Yuguan, and he was even more afraid that his mother would be indifferent to him after knowing it. Bu Zao
silently observed Wang Lianhua's every move.
Outside the residence of Fairy Yunmeng, on the carriage, the head of the sect put on a mask on his face. His cheerful smile was covered by the strange mask, and his tone became cold and deep the moment he put on the mask.
"Young Master Wang, you can rest assured." The head of the sect said, "Your mother will definitely not blame you for being away from home for too long."
Wang Lianhua: "What do you mean?"
The head of the sect did not answer, but got off the carriage directly. Chongming and Gong Jiu also got off the carriage one after another. Wang Lianhua did not understand, got off the carriage in a daze, and knocked on the gate of the courtyard with three people who looked deep and difficult to deal with, and entered the courtyard.
Fairy Yunmeng knew that they would come in the next few days. After hearing the news, she came out of the small building and greeted them in person.
She was very interested in the legendary leader of the Salted Fish Sect, especially after the disciples of the Salted Fish Sect were walking around in the martial arts world, it became an undeniable fact that the strength of the Salted Fish Sect far exceeded the average level of the martial arts world.
Fairy Yunmeng was good at beauty, her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, and her eyes were sparkling. Wang Lianhua came forward to greet her and introduced the identities of the leader and others to her.
"I have heard of your great name for a long time." Fairy Yunmeng also said some polite words, "To be honest, I haven't had time to thank the disciples of the leader Bu."
Wang Lianhua wanted to say that he actually gave money to Wudu, which was a very serious business, but he still resisted the impulse.
The head of the sect stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "He took over the business himself, so there
is no need for him to thank me." Fairy Yunmeng glanced at Chongming and Gongjiu again, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said nothing more: "You have come a long way and must have been tired on the journey. Please go down and rest. If you need anything, just tell the maids."
Sect Master Bu did not move, and said, "I have something to discuss with the fairy."
Seeing his attitude, Fairy Yunmeng smiled slightly and said, "Does it have to be now?"
The Sect Master nodded.
The final result was that Wang Lianhua was locked outside the study alone, and the Salted Fish Sect master and apprentice and Gong Jiu entered the study.
Wang Lianhua stared at the closed study in a daze at the gate of the courtyard.
... This is what Bu Zao said that his mother would not blame him
for being away from home for too long. She kicked him out alone, so of course his mother had no time to blame him!
Wang Lianhua left angrily. When he finished washing, bathing, and changing clothes, and even finished eating the snacks to fill his stomach and reading half of the book copied from the Salted Fish Sect, Bu Zao and others had not come out of the study.
What are they talking about?
Wang Lianhua is very upset. He must talk to Bu Zao later. If he is left alone again, he will burn the small wooden fish.
Bu Zao is talking to Fairy Yunmeng about the business that will be done in the future. It is a serious matter. The reason why Gong Jiu is also involved is because Bu Zao wants to make full use of his dual identities as the Prince of Taiping and the Ninth Prince to facilitate the operation of the Salted Fish Sect in the future.
In order to find the whereabouts of Chai Yuguan, Fairy Yunmeng secretly cultivated a lot of power. Now this part of the power is gradually being taken over by Wang Lianhua. Bu Zao plans to persuade Fairy Yunmeng to agree.
After all, Xiao Wang is underage, so he must inform his mother.
Although Fairy Yunmeng was surprised by the information and content provided by Bu Zao, she still tried to suppress her emotions and not let her emotions show.
She asked: "I understand what you mean, but why don't you ask Lianhua to come in?"
Wang Lianhua has not yet told others her name, Bu Zao didn't say it, of course he knew it, and Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing an ambiguous smile.
Fairy Yunmeng cast a questioning look, and Master Bu said, "It's nothing, it's just that the young prince hasn't told us his name yet, and you just told us."
"..." Fairy Yunmeng didn't say much, looking at the drawings that Bu Zao had taken out on the table, and no longer beat around the bush, "I understand what you mean, Master Bu, you think very far, but nothing has been determined, and things may not develop according to your ideas."
"So if you don't do it, you don't know anything, and everything is possible." Master Bu said, "Cooperate with me, it's not a loss at all."
Fairy Yunmeng showed a sarcastic smile: "Lianhua has taken your token, even if you don't look for me, you will eventually achieve your goal."
"But you are his mother." Master Bu said.
Fairy Yunmeng sighed, "I understand. But it seems that the court can't play a big role relying on only the Prince of Taiping."
Gong Jiu said nothing.
The Prince of Taiping was like an invisible man in Bianjing, with zero presence. Although he had a royal status, it would be difficult for him to get started.
In response, Chongming said, "Don't worry, there are more useful people in the court."
Fairy Yunmeng said nothing more, and everyone left the study. Wang Lianhua looked gloomy in the hall, looking at Bu Zao and others unhappily.
But when he saw Fairy Yunmeng, his expression slightly withered.
Bu Zao did not explain their conversation to Wang Lianhua, and this task was completed by Fairy Yunmeng. The original body and the vest took a Ninth Prince back to the room prepared for them, intending to rest.
On the way, Gong Jiu asked Chong Ming: "Who is the person from the court?"
He guessed that it might be someone from the Shenhou Mansion, but the Shenhou Mansion would not be too involved in matters outside of their duties, so it couldn't be someone from the Shenhou Mansion.
Bu Zao has never been frank in this regard. Chong Ming looked at him and said nothing.
The head of the sect didn't let the Ninth Young Master sing a monologue, and lazily kept it a secret: "You will know sooner or later. Speaking of which, that person is the same type as you, and you will definitely like him, Your Highness."
Gong Jiu's eyes were as emotionless as a deep pool.
Because the head of the sect always teased Gong Jiu with a whip from time to time, Gong Jiu was too lazy to think about what he meant by "the same type of person" at this time.
The next morning, Wang Lianhua came to settle accounts with the guests in a dignified manner.
"If it's those contents, you could have let me into the study room and asked me to listen in!"
"Well, I was thinking about your reunion as mother and son, and talking more can help you bond."
said Master Bu.
Wang Lianhua was speechless and couldn't speak for a long time. He and his mother did say a lot of things, but it was a bit embarrassing to admit it in front of him.
Chongming walked past him and stood beside the master: "Don't block the way."
Wang Lianhua glared at him and asked about their future plans: "You are going to Bian Jing."
The master nodded.
Wang Lianhua didn't bother to ask who they were going to find and what they were going to do. She just said, "Next time you dare to leave me alone to discuss matters, I will burn your fish to ashes."
The head of the sect smiled helplessly under the mask, and Chongming cast a cold look at Wang Lianhua: "You know a lot."
"Not as much as you know."
Wang Lianhua showed a smile of victory.
