Selfishness

After I promised Chen Hui to stay in Shengwang Palace for three months, I let Anfeng go back the next day. After all, Anfeng is not like me wearing a mask all the time. It is not safe to walk around in Shengwang Palace.When An Feng was sent back, it was Chen Hui who asked someone to pass on the words.But after An Feng got the news, he refused to leave desperately, insisting that they imprisoned me.As a last resort, I had no choice but to tell him in person.The result was terrible. This guy pulled me with snot and tears, and he didn't want to say anything.Seeing that he was crying pitifully, I had no choice but to ask Shu Yulou to send someone back to Zhonghu City to deliver a message, and then brought An Feng into Shengwang Palace.However, this decision seems to make Chenhui very unhappy.

After An Feng came to Shengwang Palace, he took strict precautions against Chen Hui.As long as Chen Hui appears in front of me, he will definitely stand between us.When I saw this situation, I found it very interesting.It's just that Chen Hui suffers, and always gets rejected.

During the past three months, I was very comfortable in Shengwang Palace, watching Chen Hui and An Feng's "fighting openly and secretly" every day.The people outside were also very quiet.Chen Hui's massive attack on the Chu State was also reduced to a military dispatch.No one would have believed it, but the border of Chu State has been very quiet, and it doesn't look like they are preparing for war.When the two countries jointly lied, everyone accepted this fact.Other than that, these three months have been really peaceful, nothing happened.Peace is a good thing to say, but it always makes people feel very uneasy.Even if you are uneasy, time will not stop, you can only explore slowly step by step.

In a blink of an eye, the three-month period was over, but I found nothing.

"You see the world is peaceful, so you can stay here." Chen Hui took me to a hidden place outside the house while An Feng was packing up.

"Master Sheng, we have agreed, it will only be three months." I paused and said, "It doesn't matter if it's more than one day or less, it's an agreement."

Chen Hui bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Don't call me Master Sheng."

"Chen Hui, the world is not peaceful, there are many people who are thieves." Although I didn't find out anything, I always felt that Chen Hui had done something, so I had to test it out.But I really underestimated the king.

"It's quite a lot, so you must be careful on the way. It's the same when you go back to Zhonghu City. If you have anything to do, tell me, don't bear it alone." She said with a concerned tone, and helped me tidy up my clothes while talking.His face was as usual, as if he hadn't done anything.

Maybe I really think too much.

"As long as the big shots let me go, then I will be safe." I chuckled, turned and left.

The way back was very peaceful, and I didn't even meet a bandit. For some reason, I felt a little bored.When I returned to Zhonghu City, I really missed it in my heart.

"Little Mozi!" As soon as I walked into my courtyard, I saw a huge monster rushing towards me.I didn't push her away, but just rolled my eyes and said, "Great doctor Su, can you keep your voice down at night? Are you afraid that others won't know that I'm back?"

When Su Yun heard this, she pushed me away and said, "Let me see if you have any missing arms or legs."

"Yun'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yingqi came over, glanced at Su Yun with disgust, and said, "Xu'er has had a hard time traveling, so come in quickly. We have prepared some food, so you can eat early have a rest."

"Xiaoqi~ You can tell from this little Mozi that she is in good spirits! If you let her rush to the top of the west mountain in one breath, she will be fine." Su Yun said while making exaggerated gestures, As if I could fly right there.

The three people in the courtyard glanced at Su Yun in disgust at the same time, then chatted tacitly and walked towards the room.

"These days, I haven't been in Zhonghu City. I really have to take care of it. My old man is also a no-nonsense man. I'm afraid he won't come back in the future. He will continue to have fun with my unsatisfactory master." I He said apologetically, "I will have to trouble Sister Ying to take care of this small town in the future."

"Little Mozi!" Su Yun raised her hand and slapped me on the back of the head and said, "It's been a while, why are you so unfamiliar! What are you talking about! How could we abandon you and go away? Of course we will always help you!"

"Indeed, what Xu'er said is too unfamiliar." Yingqi also frowned slightly and said.

"I'm not unfamiliar." I smiled bitterly and said, "This city is a bondage after all. As long as I live, I probably can't leave it. And I feel guilty for letting you accompany me like this."

The ten-year period is just an excuse. After ten years, I will not be able to leave this city.

"How could it be! When the time limit expires, we will go to the rivers and lakes together!" Su Yun knocked the tea cup in her hand on the table and said, "It's easy for me to fly you over the palace wall with my genius doctor's light skills."

"Is Xu'er worried about the people in this city?" Yingqi is naturally not as naive as Su Yun, I think she thought of this situation a long time ago.

"Yeah." I also put the teacup heavily on the table, and said, "I didn't understand Qin Ling and Beiluo before, and thought it was unwise for them to give up their lives. But now, look at the people in this city, what do you think? How do I abandon them and walk away by myself?"

Su Yun looked out the window, there seemed to be some kind of gathering today, the voices of people were so loud that it could be heard even here.

"No matter what, An Feng will never leave the little master!" An Feng looked at me righteously, and said with firm eyes, "The little master will guard the city for the rest of his life, and An Feng will protect the little master for the rest of his life! will not leave!"

I was taken aback by Anfeng's serious appearance, then came back to my senses, smiled and said: "It's fine to stay, but you must be obedient in the future, when I tell you to go, you must go, not like in Langzhou You have to know that you don't wear a mask on your face, and the more people who have seen it, the greater the chance of being exposed."

An Feng was a little confused, he hesitated and said: "How can I let the little master go into danger alone."

"Why would I let myself go into danger? I cherish my life very much." I smiled and said, "If I am really in danger, you should leave too, so that you can ask for help for me. If I am really unlucky ...Then you can also avenge me, are you right?"

"No! The little master is blessed and lucky! It will be fine."

The three of us laughed, Su Yun and Ying Qi shook their heads and praised An Feng's loyalty and brains.Although An Feng felt a little puzzled by our laughter, he still looked at me firmly without giving in.After being stared at by this innocent look for a long time, they nodded acquiescingly, and everyone changed to a lighter topic, such as the savage that Dad went looking for.

"What the hell is that savage?" Hearing that Miracle Doctor Su said it so miraculously, it feels like he can teleport, which is really curious.

"I don't know!" For Su Yun's serious answer, I really wanted to give her a couple of compliments.

"Haven't you been investigating for a long time?"

"But I haven't seen him."

"Then how do you say it is so magical? I thought you really saw him teleport."

"I heard what people in the village said." Su Yun lowered her body and said mysteriously, "the locals said that there was a giant snake in the mountain, which often came out to devour livestock, and the villagers were miserable. Later, a warrior came to the village. He planned to A fire was lit at the entrance of the cave to smoke out the snake. As a result, the smoke came out from all directions of the mountain! At that time, everyone knew that the giant snake used the mountain as its nest and made the mountain full of holes, full of snake holes. So later The locals call it Pan Snake Mountain.”

"What happened to the warrior later? Logically, he should have killed the giant snake."

When Su Yun heard this, she waved her fingers inscrutablely and said: "No. The warrior couldn't kill the snake in the end. He was so sad and angry that he finally turned into a mountain god to guard the snake mountain, preventing the giant snake from coming out to harm the village. Because of this, the local people think that the savage is the embodiment of a warrior, a mountain god!"

I laughed a few times and said, "The warrior is really... kind of cute." How is it different from the previous fairy tales!

"That mountain is regarded as a forbidden area by the local people. It's not just because of the legend. The mountain is seriously subsidence, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cave. It is so entangled with roots that you can't get out of it."

"Then just climb up from the place where you fell." An Feng asked suspiciously.

"The ground is so deep that it's basically impossible to get up after falling."

"It is reasonable to tell the legend, there are still many exits. And if you use smoke to guide it, you should be able to go out." Yingqi thought for a while and replied.

"Oh, Xiaoqi, that's just a legend, we can't take it seriously." Su Yun sighed helplessly, and said, "I think that savage is probably a poor man, either crazy or stupid, or has no place to hide in the mountains to live. "

"But you also said that Pan Snake Mountain is steep and dangerous inside. How can an ordinary person live for so long?" I asked very puzzled, "I heard from my father that you also tried to enter Pan Snake Mountain. But because the road is too dangerous, There are too many poisonous flowers and snakes, so we have to retreat, right?"

Su Yun thought for a while and said, "That's true. Maybe there is some secret path that we didn't discover. But the poor man discovered it by accident, so he can enter and exit safely."

"Secret road?" Yingqi seemed to think of something, and said slowly, "This Pan Snake Mountain is a branch of the southwest mountain range, and it is also adjacent to my Zhonghu City. When I came here before, I also heard it on the road. There are a lot of legends about Zhonghu City. I heard that there used to be a foreign race living here. They believed in sorcery and liked to sacrifice in caves where the sun was out of sight. Later, the Kingdom of Jin unified this land, and that foreign race also disappeared.”

"So, maybe the small cave in Pan Snake Mountain is a sacrificial place?" Su Yun smacked her lips in disgust and said, "I was wondering why there were so many poisonous flowers and poisonous snakes. It turned out to be that alien sorcery. Fortunately, I didn’t go in! This genius doctor hates these bastards who engage in sacrifices the most!”

As if recalling the previous witch incident, Su Yun's eyes became more angry, and her tone of voice was also gritted.

"Didn't you go in yet?" I said amusedly, "If it is really a place of sacrifice, maybe you can find a lot of good things. It would be the best to have an inscription recording that nation."

"Staying in a place where the sun doesn't see the sun, who can be a good person? It doesn't matter if you don't know." Su Yun snorted softly and said disdainfully.

"I didn't let you go again." I smiled and said, "Daddy and the others seem to have left some people looking for the savage, why don't you tell them about this. Maybe there are some clues to be found somewhere. Even if they are called It is an alien sorcery, but the culture must also have something worth seeing."

"Okay. I'll call for an interrogation tomorrow." Yingqi answered me while comforting Su Yun who was angry.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

After the three of them said goodbye to me, they left.Lying on the long-lost bed, I remembered the conversation I had here not long ago—with Old Kezi.He said he wanted to take revenge on those people, but he really didn't know what to do?

"Revenge?" I muttered to myself.

What should be done for revenge?Let them lose what they want most?But what do those people want?Is it the most painful thing to lose instantly when you get it?

Thinking about these dark things, I gradually lost to sleepiness.

There is no peace in the world. In just over two years, those princes who have sprung up like mushrooms were either defeated and killed or surrendered.The pattern of the world has also become less complicated, and there are only four kingdoms—Chu, Xiao, Sheng, and Yuan.This does not seem to be unexpected.And Zhonghu City has naturally become the junction of the four countries.The Yuan Kingdom borders us to the southwest—including Xiguan.Shengguo borders me to the southeast and is close to Dongguan.The State of Xiao is directly connected to Beiguan and is located in the northwest, while the State of Chu is located in the northeast.And the northern and southern tribes outside the country also harassed the Xiao country as before, which became a serious problem in the Western Regions.

The pattern is clear, and the directness is also obvious.Chen Hui has been targeting Chu and Xiao countries.And Xiao State has been fighting with Yuan State, but seems to have no contact with Chu State.Chu State remained silent as usual.Fortunately, there is Zhonghu City, and those countries that do not open their borders to each other can also exchange goods in Zhonghu City.But this also added a lot of trouble for Midlake City.Several countries that are not on the same board have been fighting secretly, and from time to time, the corpse of a certain countryman will be found on the street.And Zhonghu City had to investigate and find the truth, otherwise it would not be able to explain.

Although there are a lot of troubles, Zhonghu City is still peaceful in general.It's just that trouble always finds its way.

The author has something to say:

It's not going to be a revenge story either, it's just petty tantrums.This story should end soon, as does the story of the little Taoist over there.
