Taishi

A few days later, I asked Zeng Fan out early in the morning to reminisce about the old days. As soon as Zeng Fan came, he stood in front of the window and angered me: "I said you are talented, why are you getting uglier and uglier recently?" When he said this, he said with a serious face. I was quite involved, so crisp and neat that I never had to consider my fragile little heart.

I rolled my eyelids and shot back directly: "Where did you start with that?" Before he could answer, I added a very serious sentence, "However, in the final analysis, you are uglier than me."

"You are talented, you..."

Pointing to himself with a smile: "What's wrong with me?"

Zeng Fan snorted hard, thought for a while and seemed to remember something, and his expression became gloomy: "Recently you are always frowning, even if you see your favorite meal, you can't eat two steamed buns anymore, you Such abuse of oneself will naturally make you ugly."

The hands in my sleeves tightened and I pretended to be fine: "That means the food here is not authentic. If you don't believe me, I will definitely eat three or four steamed buns next time I see one that fits well."

Zeng Fan was ridiculed from the inside out: "You couldn't eat three or four steamed buns when you were in Luo Country." Then his voice suddenly became very soft, "You can eat two steamed buns at most. Don't I know?"

I sat back at the table and did not speak, Zeng Fan still looked out of the window: "You have always looked like this since the Second Highness left, do you think I don't know?"

When Zeng Fan said this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me, taking all the disappointment on my face into his eyes. He quickly walked a few steps to me and put one hand on the table to meet my eyes. His voice was very uncomfortable: "Yes Just, don't lie to yourself again."

I didn't speak and didn't look at him, just kept drinking tea, and it took me a while to get my head together: "I didn't lie to myself, don't do the impossible, if you do it, it will only increase your worries."

"Isn't Yue'er and I impossible, but I still persisted until now." His figure was soaked in the moonlight with a bit of bitterness, "You are talented, you are luckier than me, at least the Second Highness has you in his heart."

Afterwards, Zeng Fan just sat quietly with me, with a lonely lamp and two sad shadows.

Before dawn on the second day, I left Xianbei with my luggage. I left two letters in the house, one for Zeng Fan and one for the princess.

People often don't know their blessings when they are in the blessings. In fact, Zeng Fan is the most suitable person to scold Luo Yue. I hope she can understand this as soon as possible.

Leaving this time was not only because of what Zeng Fan said to me the night before, but also to scold Luo Yue.

The thought of living in Xianbei Chi Luoyue's heart will always exist. I am afraid that only when she leaves will she slowly try to accept Zeng Fan, and eventually she will find out who is the right person.

After traveling all the way, he finally arrived at the boundary of the capital.

Yuanyi, I'm back...

In order not to attract the attention of the people, I sold the horse and changed it to walk.

The winter in Beijing is very cold, very quiet but very familiar, and there is a sense of kindness everywhere.

After entering the city, I went to buy a few coarse clothes and had a meal before heading to the outskirts of the city.

Although I have no power or power, there are not a few people who have seen me in the city. To be on the safe side, it is better for me to find a remote place to live first.

After walking for half a day, I stopped outside an abandoned thatched cottage. The flowers and plants in the yard had already withered, but it should be considered a place to live if it is repaired.

The place I chose is under the Peach Blossom Temple, which is the thatched cottage where Lin Gui used to hide.

At night, it is very quiet, and occasionally the sound of water can be heard.

The sound of running water, the sound of buckets, the sound of splashing water? !

By the spring, a thin figure was busy.

He was throwing a bucket into the spring, and there was a full bucket at his feet.

"Brother?"

The back of fetching water suddenly froze, and I called again tentatively: "Xuanhong, is that you?"

This time, the frozen figure turned around quickly, and Xuan Hong rushed over with excitement on his face: "Xuan Li, you are finally back!"

There are too many things to say when we meet each other.

"How is senior brother doing during my absence?"

Xuanhong pouted angrily, after all, he was still a child: "Xuanli, I thought you were dead when you disappeared for no reason?! Master sent us to search for a long time, but there is no news of you. Where did you go?"

There are also people who miss him in Peach Blossom Temple, - he is not too much of a failure.

It’s better not to know some things. It’s not a good thing to be involved in court struggles. I smiled pompously: “Where else can I go? I have something to do.”

"What's the matter?" Xuanhong looked at me suspiciously, obviously he didn't buy it, "won't you tell Master if you have something to do? This time you disappeared for no reason, so something big happened." Xuanhong stared into my eyes so that I could see Feeling guilty for a while, "Say, what happened?"

Xuan Hong and the others didn't know that I was the former grand master of Luo Kingdom, and I didn't intend to let them know, so I have to say something to convince him now: "Actually... I... am a fugitive."

"what?!"

Seeing that Xuanhong believed me, I continued: "I know it's difficult for you to accept it for a while, but I'm a fugitive. I was discovered by officers and soldiers a few days ago and had to run for my life." I grabbed Xuanhong's arm suddenly, "Brother, I I was wronged, you have to believe me!"

He believed it completely: "Xuanli, you are a good person, so I believe you."

"Thank you, brother. I came back this time to see if I can see you again. After all, we friends have to come to say goodbye."

I said Xuanhong in an orderly manner and listened carefully: "So, you are leaving again?"

He nodded heavily: "Well, if I continue to stay in Peach Blossom Temple, I will bring troubles to the temple, brother, don't tell other people about seeing me, or you will be in trouble."

Xuanhong nodded with some reluctance in his eyes: "I don't know when we will see you again this time." Xuanhong showed the appearance of a senior brother again, "Brother, take care all the way."

"kindness."

Zuo Huo slept in the thatched hut all night, and went to the Grand Master's Mansion as soon as it was dark the next day. Sure enough, Ah Liu and Ah Qi were still guarding the mansion.

Emperor Yuanhua still had a conscience, if they were all driven away, they might not even have a place to stay.

Sliding in through the back door, there were only a few dimly lit oil lamps in the yard, and the faint figures in the backyard were quite deserted.

"I don't know how the Grand Master is doing now?" It was Ah Liu's voice.

"Taishi is auspicious, and a person with a natural face will turn bad luck into good luck. Don't think about it." Although Ah Qi said this, there was hesitation and hidden worry in his tone.

This is just a thought for myself.

"Ah Liu Ah Qi, Mama Lin is cooking, come and eat quickly or the food will be cold." The butler Zeng Yong called them from the dark.

Ah Liu and Ah Qi got up and went, and I followed. I didn't see anyone else except them along the way. I guess everyone except them had already left the Grand Master's Mansion.

In the side room, several plates of vegetables and a pot of tea were placed on a wooden table.

Butler Zeng, Mama Lin, and Ah Liu and Ah Qi gathered around the table and ate the food on the table with great relish.

In the past when I was here, several of them would eat a large table of dishes, but now the meals are reduced to such a size, it seems that life is very tight.

One foot stepped into the threshold, with a smile on his face, trying to make himself look good: "I'm back."

Everyone looked in my direction at the same time, they were all startled, then ran up to me and cried bitterly: "Master, you are finally back!"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! I thought I'd never see you again..."

"Teacher, please sit down and eat."

A group of people were busy in front of me, and their eyes became blurred. It turns out that it feels so good to be at home...

It was almost the same as I expected. After I was arrested and entered the palace, the rest of the people left one after another, only a few of them stayed and guarded the house.

The only difference is that the Grand Master's Mansion was not left by Emperor Yuanhua. According to them, Emperor Yuanhua wanted to seal the Grand Master's Mansion, but Yuanyi insisted on keeping the Taishi Mansion before Emperor Yuanhua compromised.

Mo Ming was a little moved in his heart, Yuan Yi had always been very thoughtful.

I told them about the Peach Blossom Temple and about the exile and Xianbei, they heard a burst of sighs, Ah Liu rarely got swollen eyes, he grabbed my hand and said in a sad tone: "I really wronged the Grand Master. "

I waved my hand and corrected: "I'm just a grassroots person now, don't call me the official title of Grand Master anymore."

Ah Liu was a little excited and shouted eagerly: "But in our hearts, the grand master will always be the grand master, and Luo Guo will never find another grand master who convinces us."

Just about to persuade him again, Butler Zeng added: "Otherwise, let's call him Grand Master."

The crowd nodded.

Seeing their persistence, I had no choice but to give up: "How did you survive these days, it must be very difficult."

Butler Zeng showed a few wrinkles with a kind smile: "Thanks to the help of the Second Highness and Miss Hua, otherwise this life would not be able to survive."

It's Yuanyi again...

Covering up the strangeness in my eyes, I asked, "Miss Hua... also helped?"

Ah Qi took a step forward and was very happy: "Yes, after the accident at the Grand Master's Mansion, Miss Hua often brought some silver taels of vegetables."

People's hearts are really unpredictable, I didn't expect Miss Hua to have such a kind heart.

On the second day, it was still late at night, so I went to Xiangxiang Tower in the dark.

At that time, Hua Xiangxiang was sitting in the private room on the second floor to rest, and she was very surprised to see me come in.

She immediately pulled me in and closed the door: "The grand master is in Luo country now, why did he come to Xiangxiang Tower like this?"

Sitting down at the table, I said with a little apology: "Thinking of Miss Hua's care for the Grand Master's Mansion these days, I am very grateful, so I want to come to the door to express my thanks. I hope Miss Hua will forgive me for not being considerate for a while."

Hua Xiangxiang was not angry at all, just a little bit worried: "No one saw the grand master when he came, right?"

I smiled and nodded, feeling inexplicably bitter in my heart, the feeling that things are right and wrong is really uncomfortable: "No."

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good." After pouring me a cup of tea, she asked again, "What is the grand master's plan when he comes back this time?"

After taking a sip of tea, I looked out the window feeling a little disturbed: "I just want to live a peaceful life."

Realizing that I was in a bad state at this time, I immediately came back to my senses and smiled at her: "Anyway, I never expected Miss Hua to come to help the Grand Master's Mansion. Although the prince has no backer now, it would be a bit contrary What the prince means..."

"Prince? What do I have to do with the prince?"

This time it was me who was confused: "Hasn't Miss Hua been working for Prince Yuanjin all this time?"

Hua Xiangxiang finally understood what I was talking about, and her eyes turned dark at that moment: "The Grand Master is wrong. In fact, I have been helping the Third Highness all along."

Third Highness? !Yuan Ying? ! ! !
