After becoming a Taoist partner with a junior who cultivates the ruthless way

When Guan Ming walked out of Jingbao Workshop, the snow outside had already stopped.He looked back, holding the brocade box in one hand and putting on the curtain with the other.

Someone passed by him, accidentally bumped into his shoulder, and quickly said sorry.

The man was tall and burly, with fluffy and messy hair, a long black box on his back, and a wine gourd hanging from his waist.

Seeing Guan Ming holding the brocade box, he casually praised: "This precious garment is not bad."

Guan Ming gave a faint 'hmm', and stepped into the snow.

The man watched his back go away, raised his head and took a sip of his wine, then turned and walked to another street.

Back at the inn, Guan Ming thought that Zhu Fang would definitely be hungry when he woke up later, so he asked the waiter to cook a bowl of rice dumplings.When I entered the room, I saw that the person was still asleep, so I gently put the brocade box on the table.

Hearing the movement in the house, Zhu Fang turned over slightly.He pretended to be sleeping soundly, and when Guan Ming got close to the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes, his bright black eyes looked at him: "Where did you go?"

After asking, he found that Guan Ming was holding a bowl of Jiuniang Yuanzi in his hand.

"Go out and get some air." Guan Ming's eyes were not as cold as before, but rather soft: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry, you feed me."

Zhu Fang turned over and sat up, raised his eyes and noticed the brocade box on the table, and couldn't help being curious: "What is that?"

Before Guan Ming could answer, his eyes lit up, and he rushed ahead and asked, "Is it a gift for me?"

Guan Ming nodded.

Zhu Fang was even happier, his face was full of anticipation, and he couldn't wait to open the brocade box after eating half of the Jiuniang Yuanzi.

"It's called Xuezhan Qiongxiu, and it's a precious garment made of snow silk. Not only is it impervious to water and fire, but it's also warm in winter and cool in summer, and its size can change freely with the wearer's body shape." Guan Ming paused for a while. , After all, he didn't say all the words behind, and looked at the person in front of him intently: "Brother, do you like it?"

Zhu Fang thought it was a pastry, but he didn't expect it to be a piece of clothing, or some kind of precious garment.However, the material of this cloth feels good to the touch, and the workmanship is also exquisite, so one can tell that it is worth a lot of money.

"I like it." He rubbed the pearl on the hem of his clothes, and when he looked at Guanming, his eyes nearly rolled with a smile: "I'll try it on."

"As long as senior brother likes it."

"I like all the presents you give me."

Zhufang used a newly learned dressing technique, put on the precious clothes and walked around Guanming with a happy face.

In addition to the pearl on the hem of the clothes, there are small bells and small shells on the sleeves and necklines, which jingle when walking, the sound is not loud, but it is crisp and pleasant.

He put the cloak on his body, put on the hood, and shrank his whole face in the snow-white fur collar: "You won't be afraid of the cold when you go out like this."

Guan Ming stared at him steadfastly, and the one who didn't pay attention was fascinated.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Fang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Thinking so obsessively."

Guan Ming unconsciously blurted out: "I'm thinking about senior brother..."

After the words fell, his ears were also stained reddish.

"What do you want me to do? I'm right in front of you." Having said that, Zhu Fang took the initiative to hold his hand and shortened the distance between the two of them: "Be honest, is there something you didn't tell me? "

"I..." Guan Ming didn't expect Zhu Fang to become suspicious so quickly, and felt guilty for a while: "It's nothing."

Zhufang looked him up and down, showing 'I don't believe it' in his eyes, and said, "Since you entered the city, something is wrong, and you went out alone for so long while I was asleep, and you said nothing?"

Not giving Guan Ming a chance to speak, Zhu Fang said again: "You said that Zhongbei City is the hometown of your biological mother, but you never mentioned her to me, and you never said you would take me to see her."

Only then did Guan Ming realize that his senior brother cared about this matter.

"I originally wanted to come back to deal with those old things after my ascension. Now that my brother is with me, I don't have to wait until after my ascension. But I didn't deliberately hide it from my brother, but I didn't want to say it to make my brother worry." Guan Ming said silently: "If Senior Brother wants to know, I can tell Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Zhu Fang's face immediately softened a bit: "Not only do you want to tell me, but you are also not allowed to hide it from me. If this happens again in the future, we will sleep separately."

"Um……"

"I'm not full yet, I want to go out to eat wontons, we'll talk while eating later."

Although it was getting dark early, it was not too late, and there were still two or three people on the street.

Zhu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, and followed Guan Ming into a restaurant selling wontons.

Only the proprietress and her husband were busy inside. Seeing guests coming in, they warmly greeted them to sit down.

Guanming ordered two bowls of fresh meat wontons, picked an inconspicuous place with Zhufang, took his hand and gently covered it: "Is it still cold?"

Although he grew up in a place of ice and snow like the Northern Wilderness, Guan Ming's palms are warmer than he imagined.Zhu Fang was covered by him, and he said ironically: "It's still cold."

"Is that so?" Guan Ming squeezed his head tighter again, because he was so close, he could still see the other party's long eyelashes, so he just hugged Zhu Fang in his arms: "Is it better?"

"Ah."

They didn't let go of their hands until the hot wontons were on the table, and they were still very close in the eyes of others.

Zhufang ate the wontons with big gulps, the soup was steaming, almost scalding his tongue.

"The first time I came to Zhongbei City was when I was eight years old..." Guanming said slowly: "At that time, my father Wang took a new concubine and was very favored. One day she came to me and whispered to me, I It was not born of the queen, and it was said that the queen killed the person who really gave birth to me."

"Your mother..." Zhu Fang changed his words in time: "Did you believe her?"

"At first I didn't believe it, I thought it was her intention to alienate me. Although the queen treated me harshly, she was the only one in the palace who treated me well." Guan Ming said: "Until later, the concubine who told me the truth died unexpectedly. "

"It was also when you were eight years old?"

"Well. After that, I found out that I don't have any memories of before the age of seven. I asked the queen, and the queen said that it was because I had a serious illness when I was a child. I almost believed it, but in the end it was my father who said it was a slip of the tongue. I learned from this that I am not the queen's son, but my father's illegitimate son. The queen knew that she couldn't hide it, so she confessed to me that my biological mother was a mermaid with a low status. Died of dystocia." Guan Ming's eyes were as deep as ink, "But what she didn't expect was that the concubine kept a hand and even hid a letter for me before she died."

This time Zhufang didn't interrupt him again.

"The letter said the Meng family in Zhongbei." Guan Ming said unhurriedly: "So I came to Zhongbei City alone, but I failed to find the Meng family, but was sent back to the capital by the Queen."

The snow began to fall intermittently again, and the snowflakes all over the sky were like flying catkins.

Guanming continued: "After returning to the capital, I inquired about the Meng family in private, only to find out that the Meng family had already been destroyed. The Meng family has made swords for generations, and it is a famous family of sword repairers in the Northern Wilderness. Others said it was because The Meng family has provoked a difficult enemy, and only I know that all of this is done by the queen."

"Does she know that you inquired about the Meng family?"

"I don't know for the time being, but she should know soon." Guan Ming said, "This time I'm back, it's a break."

Zhufang put his hand on the back of his hand, and said in a warm voice, "I'm with you."

After eating wontons, on the way back to the inn, Zhu Fang heard Guan Ming talk a lot about the past, how the queen treated him harshly, and why the queen brought him up.

Snow fell on his shoulders, Zhufang looked at the snow-covered road and listened intently.

"That is to say, the queen originally had a child, but she died when she was very young, and she has no possibility of giving birth since then. She knew that you have the blood of the dragon family, so she brought you back to the capital to raise you." He suddenly said: "The people on the boat upstairs were also sent by the queen?"

"Yeah." Guanming nodded: "Send me a message saying that she is seriously ill and wants me to go back to the capital. It was the same way back then."

"It's okay, if you don't want to go back, we won't go back." Seeing that Guan Ming's mood was not clear, Zhu Fang held his hand tightly and intertwined his fingers.

The next day, it was a sunny day, and the icicles at the corners of the eaves were shining brightly in the sun.It is said that Huaxue is colder than Luoxue, and as expected, there was a gust of cold wind blowing against my face as soon as I went out.

After learning of his own life experience back then, Guan Ming never stopped investigating.Although it is still unknown what the relationship between his biological mother and the Meng family is, what is certain is that the queen must have concealed something, otherwise she would not have been so anxious to kill them all.

But now that the Meng family has been destroyed, all the people who have been with the Meng family have disappeared.Presumably it was also the Queen who secretly moved her hands and feet, not wanting Guan Ming to hear any more news about the Meng family.

I slept soundly last night, and it was already noon when I went out.

Zhu Fang tied his cloak to cover the marks on his neck, and went to different directions with Guan Ming.

Guan Ming went to the north of the city, which was originally the home of a certain disciple of the Meng family, but now it has become a place to bid for treasures, and the disciple of the Ren family is even missing.Zhu Fang then went to the academy in the south of the city, Guan Ming said that the student surnamed Ren had studied there before, Master Lu from the academy was his classmate.

Although the queen was always cautious, she missed a move in the final game. Unexpectedly, Guan Ming knew about the existence of the Meng family long before leaving Beihuang.

There is a large maple forest in the south of the city, and the academy Guanming mentioned was built in the forest.Just in the afternoon, three young boys passed by Zhufang.

"There is Master Lu's class in the afternoon, are you going to listen to it?"

"It's too boring, I won't go, I want you to go."

"I'm not going either. There is a wine competition in the city these few days, and if you win, you can get three thousand spirit stones. It's better to go drinking."

Zhufang walked through the maple forest path and came to the gate of the academy.

There was a bookboy sweeping the floor at the door, seeing his unfamiliar face, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhu Fang said: "Excuse me, is Master Lu there?"

"Yes." The book boy put down the broom: "Young master, why not give your name, I will go in and pass on a message to the master."

"My surname is Meng."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

The book boy turned his head and went in. After a while, he came out and said, "Master said he doesn't know Mr. Meng."

Zhu Fang didn't leave immediately, and said again: "Can I see your master?"

"This..." The book boy was a little embarrassed: "Master has just left the academy."

Zhu Fang still wanted to ask something, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt an unusual breath, and abruptly swallowed the words that were about to come out.

His intuition told him that there were more than one people watching his every move from the dark.

"Then I'll come back another day."

Zhu Fang smiled gently, and when he turned around, he deliberately quickened his pace and walked towards the maple forest near the academy.

Going all the way to the depths of the maple forest, the people who followed secretly appeared just now, and they were those white-robed men who had met on the building boat.

To be more precise, they were the subordinates beside the queen.Except for the silver-haired man in the lead, the others were all there.

"We met again." Zhu Fang patted off the snow slag on his shoulders, and looked at them without fear: "What do you want from me?"

Those people didn't intend to greet him, they surrounded him as soon as they came, as if they were about to make a move.

As a phoenix, Zhu Fang is not afraid of facing the Dragon Clan.It's just that the weather in the northern wilderness is freezing, and his cultivation is easily threatened if he really wants to do something.

The location of this place is relatively remote, and few people pass by Fenglin, and naturally no one knows that they are fighting here.

The sound of the sword cut through the silence after the heavy snow, echoing back and forth in the quiet maple forest.

After several rounds, the two sides still did not win or lose.Only where the sword energy swept down, the snowflakes on the branches of the maple tree trembled.

Seeing that the snowflakes were about to fall on the cloak, Zhu Fang retreated in time, and the red sword light swept away the snowflakes.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, the snowflakes suddenly condensed into countless icicles and flew towards the candle, like a thousand arrows.

Zhu Fang was secretly urging the Feng Clan's mind, when he looked again, the icicles turned their direction again.

Those people couldn't dodge, they stared blankly at the back of him, and their legs stood in place as if they had taken root.

One of them moved his foot to leave, but the next moment, the sharp ice blade pierced his chest.The bright red blood drops sprinkled on the snow, looking dazzlingly, like blossoming red plums.

Is there someone behind to help him?

Zhufang looked back, and just happened to meet those cold blood eyes, and the person who made the move was Zhongtai.
