Poor monks do not break the precepts

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and finally welcomed the poor host.There are a lot of general affairs in the palace, and the people around the palace often ask for miscellaneous matters. Huaxinglou will solve them in person every time he is in the waterless palace.Xu Sheng often comes to Shui Wu Gong and has long been used to being left alone, and the person who usually leaves the next day without seeing him, but today he came to the door by himself for the first time, it is really strange.

Xu Shengxuan raised his eyebrows, thinking of the difference in treatment, folded his arms and snorted coldly: "I've never seen you treat me so attentively before."

Hua Xinglou retorted unceremoniously: "The Hidden World Villa has a great career, if Shuiwugong is in trouble in the future, maybe you can help me once. Unlike you, you have always only asked me for help."

Xu Sheng laughed and said, "You have a thick skin."

"It will be my grandmother's birthday in a few days, but Shui Wu Gong will come?" Huai Mingmo invited with a smile, as if he was afraid that Hua Xing Lou would reject him, and he hurriedly said: "My mother is not a pedantic person, and she will not come because of people in the world." Identifying a sect in a few words is all about character. As for the guests who come, they are mostly Jianghu gangs who are close to the Hidden World Villa, or old acquaintances in the court, and most of them are people with clear eyesight."

Hua Xinglou has a good understanding of the situation of Zhongyuan Zhengdao, especially since the Xingxiu sword book incident, he has carefully investigated it, and the martial arts sect that can now appear on Mrs. Ji's birthday must be an old friend of the Hidden World Villa, and the sect rules are clear and upright generation.It's not that Huaxinglou doesn't look down on the so-called upright people, but they just look down on those sanctimonious hypocrites.

Huaxing Building roughly deliberated and drew up a guest list for the Hermitage Villa. After careful consideration, it is estimated that there will be little discrepancy.With his decision made, he readily accepted and said decisively: "The young master of the Hidden World Villa invites me, how dare I refuse. It's just that the deputy palace master probably won't be able to go, please forgive me."

Xu Sheng poked the tea noodles with a tea cover, full of doubts: "Shu Muxi loves to join in the fun, why can't he go?"

"Little sister Jian is inconvenient, how can he be willing to abandon his beloved wife and go alone." Hua Xinglou laughed and said, "This Jian Wensong didn't even know she was two months pregnant. I just found out. Now that the fetal gas is not stable, it is not suitable to travel far, and it is estimated that I will not be able to go."

No wonder Jian Wensong is so talkative recently, exuding a gentle aura all over her body, not like the dominatrix in the past.Xu Sheng thought to himself, he didn't dare to say anything, so as not to be sued by Hua Xinglou behind his back, and he would face a cold face when he came back, "Why didn't you say it two days earlier, so that I can prepare a congratulatory gift. Never come empty-handed."

With greedy eyes, Hua Xinglou looked at Xu Sheng carefully, and said with a smile: "The gift is mainly about the heart, and the value is second. It doesn't matter what you give, isn't it the same for your belongings?"

"That also pays attention to what one likes." Xu Sheng frowned slightly, and said without shame: "Little sister Jian is not as vulgar as you. I give her all my things, and it may not be in her eyes." Think for a while , Xu Sheng had no choice but to reluctantly part with each other, and said to Chen Xiang: "Before you go to the Hermitage Villa with me, go to Wuxue Academy."

"Sister Jian is not a nerd, it's useless for you to ask Chen Xiang to send you a basket of books." Hua Xinglou shook his hands, completely opposed.

Chen Xiang has been with Xu Sheng for a long time, some words can be understood without expressing them, and immediately said respectfully: "I will go to Wuxue Academy and get the Minghe Guqin."

Knowing the congratulatory gift that Xu Sheng was going to give out, the people in the room were stunned and remained silent for a long time, the Crane Guqin is so rare, it's hard to find a second treasure in the world.Never expecting Xu Sheng to be so generous, Hua Xinglou hesitated for a long time, dumbfounded: "Are you really willing?"

Xu Sheng shrugged weakly, "I'm wandering outside now, and I'm at home everywhere. It's inconvenient to bring a Guqin. Rather than accidentally bumping it when I take it out all day, it's better to give it to Miss Jian. It's also a good destination. The one I planted Because, if I get fruit today, when the karma arises and the karma dies, it is probably the fate between me and this zither."

"Don't come here about cause and effect, it's annoying to hear." Hua Xinglou Su loves to provoke things, and was happy to watch the show, and hurriedly said: "Does Master Ruthless feel the same way?"

Huai Mingmo understood Huaxinglou's temperament, and he didn't want him to get what he wanted, so he said calmly, "After years of practice, he should see more clearly than us."

Hua Xinglou still didn't give up, he pointed at Xu Sheng and said, "Look at this kid, he doesn't intend to become vulgar anymore."

Huai Mingmo said with a smile: "Everyone has his own good luck. If you want to have a predestined relationship with Buddha, you can't force it."

The face of the joke gradually froze, Hua Xinglou glared at Xu Sheng angrily, with a dry throat, he walked quickly from the door to Luohan's bed and wanted to have a mouthful of herbal tea, but the water sprinkled on the ground was not dry, and he almost staggered and fell on the ground.

Xu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately burst out laughing, and gloated: "So, don't have too many bad intentions in being a human being, the karma will come at some point."

After talking and laughing for a long time, Huaxinglou almost forgot the purpose of this trip, quickly restrained his smile, sat in the seat vacated by Huaimingmo, with a solemn face, but spoke very peacefully: "Lianxin Huiji is not easy to deal with, I and Shu Muxi discussed it, and I really don't worry about you fighting alone." He patted his chest with a look of courage and pride, and said with a loud smile: "Let's talk, if there is anything we can help you, we will definitely help you with all our strength."

"Although you two friends are unreliable, you still haven't crossed paths." Xu Sheng's teasing made Hua Xinglou's face turn pale. On the hem of his clothes, without a word, he bowed down to Huaxinglou.

Hua Xinglou was caught off guard and accepted the gift abruptly, his eyebrows twitched, he leaned forward quickly, his arms leaped over the case and he lifted Xu Sheng up, "What are you doing, your forehead is pinched?"

Xu Sheng said embarrassingly: "I have to keep an eye on Lian Xin Hui Ji from now on, and I have important matters to investigate, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spare myself to deal with He Huan Zhai."

"It's not difficult, if Hehuanzhai is handed over to Shuiwugong, you don't have to hurt me." Hua Xinglou gave Xu Sheng a vicious look, and said with a chuckle: "Actually, why do you need Shuiwugong to take action? Give me a word, and someone will protect you."

Huai Mingmo treated it indifferently, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Hua Xing Lou's words. He revealed the topic and only cared: "You don't want to say it, Chen Xiang's tone is tighter, and he refuses to reveal half a word. You tell me honestly, What exactly are you looking for?"

"The life experiences of the three people." Xu Sheng stared coldly and said.

Huai Mingmo's eyes moved slightly, there was darkness in front of them, but there seemed to be a beam of light guiding him in the direction.After thinking about it, most of his face turned dark immediately, and his eyes showed a little sternness, "Apart from you and the fourth prince Meng Yinghuan, who else is that person?"

Xu Sheng looked at the other two with confused faces, without any unnecessary explanation, he just smiled and replied: "Young Master Passionate."

"Young Master Passionate?" Huai Mingmo couldn't hold back his astonishment, and his voice couldn't help but raised his voice, "He's actually the same age as you?"

"It's not just the same age, the month is about one month apart." Xu Sheng smiled meaningfully, and from the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of Huai Mingmo's fingertips trembling suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly, and his heart was half cold.

Xin Li was stunned, punched the edge of Luo Han's bed, and said fiercely: "Switching the prince is a crime of deceiving the emperor, how dare Ji Lianxin Huiji?! The little prince is often accompanied by nurses and maids. When did she come?" Time to find out?"

"Meng Yinghuan went out of the second palace when he was six months old. Because of his serious illness, Mrs. Wei took him to the Daxiangguo Temple to fast and pray for blessings. He stayed in the Daxiangguo Temple for about five days, and his illness miraculously improved." Xu Sheng said "At that time, Mrs. Wei was very favored, and her clothes were naturally not bad. Even if she was practicing in the temple, she would not be too plain. During those five days, Daxiangguo Temple was harassed by thieves. I heard that Mrs. Wei was stolen. When I went to write about jewelry and jade, I was frightened. There are only two sentences in the royal secret document, who knows what happened at that time."

This fact is outrageous, Hua Xinglou wondered: "Switching the dragon son secretly, the people around may not be able to see it because the child is too young, or they may not dare to tell for fear of causing death, but Mrs. Wei is the birth mother of the fourth prince. How can you not see it?"

"Lianxin Huiji is very good at disguise, and besides, it's a six-month-old baby. It's normal for a slight change after opening." Xu Sheng's heart was still unclear, and he murmured: "Madam Wei... Maybe she was kept in the dark Bar."

Hua Xinglou brought up a topic that everyone deliberately ignored, "If your fourth prince has been swapped, then you might be the real Meng Yinghuan?" Wrinkled, Huai Mingmo's face was not very good-looking, as if he just remembered that Xu Sheng had no intention of mentioning Huai Mingmo's life experience, and immediately realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly shut up, scratching his head and giggling.

Xin Li stared straight at Huaxinglou, seeing the half-concealed complacency in his eyes, he wished to tear his mouth open.Huai Mingmo did not react much, he leisurely spit out the green jujube core without any embarrassment or timidity.Xinli knew that Huai Mingmo had a temper, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he would never change what he had decided on, and he would never let go of the person he was sure of. Thinking of the day when the truth would be revealed, Xinli could not help but frown.

On the other hand, Xu Sheng pinched the armrest of the Arhat bed, his internal force urged his palm to exert strength, and the pear wood armrest squeezed the wood chips in an instant, and said coldly: "It's been a long time since I taught you, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

Hua Xinglou saw that Xu Sheng seemed to have moved for real, and immediately accepted it as soon as he saw it, filling the bottomless teacup on the desk, "This story is too shocking, you really need to investigate it carefully. Maybe you can go and talk to those few A prince to fight for."

Now that the skin is so thick, Xu Sheng can't do anything with Huaxing Tower, just now a little bit of anger disappeared in an instant, and he said with a wry smile: "You have a good idea, but I'm afraid you can't."

Huai Mingmo drank half a cup of apologetic tea, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, even if Emperor Meng knew the truth, he would at most endow the fake prince to death, and then announce the funeral all over the country, saying that the prince died of a sudden serious illness. As for the exile The real prince who is away will get a title, give him a mansion and good land, and spend his life in rich clothes and fine food."

"Then why are you saving his life? Just end him directly, so you don't have to worry and save effort."

Xu Sheng glanced at the quack, shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's not difficult to kill him, but it's difficult to get rid of yourself and don't cause trouble. Besides, I may still need him in the fight for the heir apparent, so it's not a problem to keep him alive for a few days. "

Xinli has been helping Xuanji Pavilion's internal and external affairs, so he is very sensitive to the court's tricks, so he immediately interrupted, "The second prince is now famous, and if he wants to bring him down, he really needs to fight with him personally. The second prince has always speculated about the holy will." , will definitely find an opportunity to frame the prince for rebellion, which requires someone to stand up and expose the conspiracy of the second prince. And the third prince should not come forward in this matter, after all, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is the one who ultimately benefits."

Chen Xiang received Xu Sheng's order early on, she didn't expect Xin Li to guess so much, she couldn't help but give him a high look, and said stubbornly: "You idiot is not too stupid to think about it."

Complimenting is not boasting, and loss is not loss, but Xinli was full of joy, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Who praised you?" Chen Xiang's phoenix eyes widened, and in the darkness, his cheeks seemed to be stained with red candle color, revealing half of the shyness of a little girl, "Idiot."

Huai Mingmo sat very close to Xu Sheng, he leaned closer to Xu Sheng's ear, and said in a voice as light as a mosquito's moan: "This pair of enemies really don't know each other." No matter how loudly Ming Mo speaks, it may not be heard by others, but he is careful in doing things for fear that he will cut off the newly grown love seedling.

Xu Sheng looked at Xin Li carefully for a long time, like a father-in-law looking at a son-in-law, he felt more and more satisfied with his clean and handsome appearance.Counting Chen Xiang's age, he is already over eighteen. If he lived in a family with both parents, he should have been the age when the matchmaker got married. After all, he was the one who delayed her for many years.

Huai Mingmo heard that Xu Sheng was silent next to him, and said with a light smile, "Don't let Chen Xiang Shimei trick him into Wuzhi Building, Xuanji Pavilion can't lack him."

"He is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. Even if I tie him up, it is still useless." After being seen through his heart, Xu Sheng generously admitted.

Hua Xinglou sat on the side in a dull mood, realizing that he was being left out in the cold, he couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Xu Sheng thought for a while and said: "There is something that may require Shui Wu Gong's help. He Huan Zhai will be dealt with sooner or later. You know the situation of He Huan Zhai. If it is destroyed, many lonely women will have nowhere to go. , if it is possible, some innocent women may need to be taken in by Shui An Palace."

"Those women with clean hands are fine, but I don't dare to accept those who have been involved in murder cases." Hua Xinglou's eyebrows were full of disgust, and he said decisively: "Keep them alive, and more innocent people will be harmed. No."

Xu Sheng looked at Hua Xing Lou in amazement, and said speechlessly: "I seem to plan to let go of those people who killed innocent people." There was a faint cold light in his eyes, and he said with a sneer: "Don't worry, I'm sorry for this group of people." I won't ask you to do it with dirty hands."

I knew that Xu Sheng had two sides, but suddenly facing Huai Ming, Mo Xin couldn't help trembling, and his hands couldn't help but grab the hem of Xu Sheng's clothes.The rivers and lakes do something and don't do it, Huai Mingmo understands in his heart that many people in Hehuanzhai must be eliminated quickly, and he doesn't mean to stop Xu Sheng, but the Xu Sheng around him is too strange, as if he has no worries and scruples, and has a bond with himself The careless arrogance that puts life and death behind.

Noticing the slight tugging, Xu Sheng lowered his eyes and glanced, most of the frost between his brows melted away immediately, and a little tenderness emerged from the bottom of his eyes.Seeing the ambiguity between the two of them, Hua Xinglou shivered, goosebumps all over his body, and coughed several times unbearably.

"If we want to get rid of He Huan Zhai, will the amorous young man stay?" Xin Li asked with great concern.

"Young Master Passionate..." Xu Sheng hesitated for a long time, and said with pity: "Let's keep him, after all, he is a poor man." He dipped his fingers in some tea, wrote his name on the desk, his black eyes slightly Mi coldly said: "This person will not be forgiven. He Huan Zhai has been managed by him for the past few years, and he is the one who instigated all these shameful things."

Xin Li leaned forward and took a look, then snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Meeting Ji Shishan, I thought I was some kind of high-spirited and frail scholar, but I turned out to be an unbearable person."

That day when Ding Zixu provoked the hidden world villa and the martial arts school was vividly remembered, Huai Mingmo was depressed for a long time, and finally spat unkindly, "Studying with a dark heart is really an insult to the teachings of the sages."

"The gentle scum is not just talking about a person like him." Xu Sheng lowered his eyes not knowing what to think, then closed his eyes lightly after a while, and sighed: "Few of the girls who have been abducted from Hehuan Zhai these years have not passed through his hands. , and the innocent lives lost are innumerable.”

Chen Xiang saw that Xu Sheng was not in a good mood, and persuaded: "Sir, you don't care about those girls, it's useless for the landlord to persuade you many times."

Hua Xinglou is used to doing things perversely, sometimes viciously like a ghost from hell, sometimes like a conscience found out to do good deeds, it is difficult to figure out whether it is cloudy or sunny, "Knowing you for another 20 years, I am afraid I still haven't figured out your temperament. "

In fact, not to mention Huaxinglou, even Chen Xiang who is always by Xu Sheng's side doesn't understand Xu Sheng, many times she can understand the instructions from Xu Sheng's eyes, but she doesn't understand why Xu Sheng is suddenly so kind.

Take the mass grave behind the Wuzhi Building as an example, she still doesn't know the reason why Xu Sheng erected monuments for those dark guards, besides, the placement of the family members of those dark guards seems like an act of kindness, which is completely inconsistent with Xu Sheng's temperament of killing .Chen Xiang has watched all kinds of things in his eyes for many years, and he never dared to ask. After a long time, he got used to it, and never thought of asking the bottom line.

The water without palace has a special terrain, it is as warm as spring in winter and cool and pleasant in summer.Xu Shi and Xu Sheng sat next to each other for a long time, or for other reasons, Huai Mingmo felt hotter and hotter, swallowed two cups of cold tea, and said with a smile: "You see, he is ruthless in his actions, but he is actually kind and soft-hearted. Yes, many years of meditation in Buddhist temples will be useless."

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth twitched, he wanted to deny and reject at the moment, but he lost his words when he was on the edge of his mouth, he couldn't squeeze out the words of refutation for a long time, his shoulders collapsed, expressing that he didn't care too much with them.Xu Sheng, who is usually eloquent and does not admit defeat, has the intention of admitting defeat today. Hua Xinglou is very happy to see his depressed appearance, and takes the opportunity to say a few more words to avenge his "vengeance" for many years.

After joking around for a while, Huaxinglou turned the topic back to the issue of the border city. The news he reported was roughly the same as what Chen Xiang found, but he also mentioned a few details that Chen Xiang could not find.

For example, Western Shu sent spies to watch over and over again, obviously because they had received wind, in case Northern Meng took the opportunity to start a big war again, knowing that the enemy had taken precautions in advance; there were also several tribes in the Western Regions, who seemed to have noticed that Emperor Meng Intent, and deliberately sent people into Herong Town, I don't know if they plan to take the opportunity to grab a fortune, or take advantage of the chaos to make trouble; The official uniform of the small official was inquired around, but he was not someone who belonged to the government offices of various places in Yongzhou. Moreover, after this person came, the officials in the town, the county government, and the state government were very polite to him. Huaxing Tower tried to inquire about this person secretly. But nothing was found.

Xishu has already reported that the secret agent is an old acquaintance, the old man of Dingxi Palace, the purpose of coming has also been reported, there is no doubt.As for the refugees from the Western Regions, there are not many of them, and they can't cause a big storm. Now that Herong Town is investigating so closely, they don't dare to act rashly.

After hearing the first two incidents, Xu Sheng only said "huh" twice, but he didn't feel relieved.But the little official who came to inquire was a little weird. There were many small officials in Beimeng, and this person didn't have much characteristics. Trying to find it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Although it was difficult to find the little official, Xu Sheng had a clue: "It's just those few people who are investigating. If they can't find Wuzhilou, they won't give up."

Hua Xinglou was not as indifferent as Xu Sheng, solemnly grabbed Xu Sheng's hand, and said with a serious face: "Be careful yourself."

The author has something to say:
