Chapter 44 Damn, I was cheated



Xu Tianze's appearance successfully pleased Long Musi, and then Long Musi stopped keeping it a secret: "Yes, Master Yun is back."

Long Musi's answer shocked Xu Tianze. Master Le Yun was a highly accomplished monk, but his behavior was totally different from that of a normal monk.

While other monks were true vegetarians, Master Le Yun was a wine-drinking and meat-eating monk, a monk who had become one only halfway through his life. The abbot of Xiangguo Temple couldn't stand Master Le Yun constantly eating meat and drinking in front of them in the temple, so he built a small courtyard for Master Yun.

Not only the monks of Xiangguo Temple looked down on Master Leyun, but ordinary people and dignitaries were also unwilling to even look at him. However, Master Leyun had profound Buddhist knowledge.

At the beginning, he could tell at a glance that the Queen Mother's daughter, the eldest princess, was still alive. In the end, the Queen Mother really found her and confirmed the identity of the eldest princess.

His fame spread quickly, and many powerful people rushed to curry favor with him. Master Leyun was also a ruthless person. He went out to travel around the world. It seems that he has returned now, which is why there is a busy scene.

"When will Master Le Yun come back?" After carefully going over Master Le Yun's deeds in his mind, Xu Tianze directly asked the question in his heart.

"Two years ago." Long Musi replied, paused, his eyes becoming deeper as he added the second half of the sentence, "To be precise, it was half a year after the Xu family was wiped out."

Xu Tianze's expression turned grim upon hearing this. He naturally understood what Long Musi meant. Master Yun hadn't returned early or late, yet he had returned from his wanderings only six months after the Xu family incident. Xu Tianze wouldn't believe that the two had no connection.

Memories suddenly flooded his mind. He remembered the tragic scene of the Xu family being wiped out, and also remembered the despair and helplessness he felt when he was in desperate situation.

"Why...why did he come back at such a coincidence?" There was a hint of uncertainty and uneasiness in Xu Tianze's voice.

Even though he had a guess, he would rather his guess was wrong. It was Master Lu Yun who had predicted his fortune. Could it be that his guess was also false?

"Perhaps the timing of Master Yun's return is just a coincidence. Aze, please don't think too much about it." Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze deeply. In order to prevent Xu Tianze from thinking too much, he could only speak to comfort him.

Xu Tianze took a deep breath and suppressed his complicated thoughts. He knew that he was indeed a little paranoid. Even if the timing of Master Yun's return was not a coincidence, it did not mean that it would definitely be a bad thing.

"Your Highness, what do you think is the reason why Master Yun suddenly returned to Beijing?" Xu Tianze revealed his suspicions to Long Musi, with vigilance and doubt in his eyes.

Long Musi was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly. "Master Liaoyun has been receiving dignitaries since returning to the capital. It seems he's looking for someone. Although various parties have tried to inquire about him, they have never received any accurate information."

There was one more thing that Long Muse did not tell Xu Tianze, which was that his people had found out that Master Le Yun had visited the ruins of the Xu Mansion late at night before revealing the news of his return.

When his men followed him in, they lost him. They thought the man had left, but when it was almost dawn, he came out of Xu's house again.

After that, Long Musi had been sending people to keep an eye on Master Yun, but there was no progress. The reason why he brought Xu Tianze here was to give Xu Tianze some peace of mind.

Another thing is that Long Musi was sure that the person Master Le Yun was looking for must be Xu Tianze, otherwise Master Le Yun would have entered the city more than once after Xu Tianze returned to Beijing.

Although he had never had any intersection with Xu Tianze, he always appeared on the streets that Xu Tianze passed by. Once was a coincidence, twice was a coincidence, how could three or four times still be a coincidence?

The carriages all stopped at one place. Xu Tianze and Long Musi got off the carriages one after another and saw a crowd of people crowded at the entrance of the courtyard. At the front of the crowd there was a little monk who was explaining something to everyone.

"Ma Zheng." Long Musi called out lightly.

Ma Zheng immediately understood and squeezed to the front to find out the news. Xu Tianze raised his eyebrows, looked at Long Yi who was doing nothing next to him, and then looked at Ma Zheng who was rushing in the crowd.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that since returning to the capital, Brother Ma had become busy. He did his own work and did other people's work. Even when there was no work, it seemed that there were always things coming to him.

"It seems that your Highness has more than just Brother Ma under his command?" As he said this, Xu Tianze signaled with his eyes to Long Yi who was leaning leisurely against the carriage.

Long Yi was caught in the crossfire and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Long Musi at a loss.

Long Musi gave Long a calm look, then turned his gaze to Ma Zheng who was still struggling to squeeze forward in the crowd: "Long Yi naturally has things to do. Ma Zheng has been following you for the past three years. Now that he has finally returned, can I still use him?"

When Xu Tianze heard Long Musi's words, he instantly felt a sour smell in the air, so he pretended to pinch his nose and said, "What a strong smell of vinegar."

"How about we take it slow? Brother Ma is yours, and Long Yi can stay with me for a while." Xu Tianze looked at Long Yi again. He always felt that Long Yi was too idle recently, and it was because Brother Ma was busy that he had a lot of things to do.

Since Long Musi wanted Ma Zheng to help, he would let Long Yi help him move around. Anyway, Long Yi could handle it with his ability.

Long Yi suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He looked at his prince for help, praying that he would not agree, because he knew why Ma Zheng, the second most skilled person in the Third Prince's Mansion, did all these messy things.
