The Way of the National Teacher

Chu Li was in a trance all the way, full of worries and worries, but there was no happy expression on that face.When she got out of the carriage and took a rest, Shi Yan held her back, "Li'er, remember the word 'never' for everything."

Chu Li pursed his lips and silently glanced at her.

Shi Yan sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice, "People's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable. We can't act on our own will, and a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans."

"Yeah." Chu Li nodded, took Shi Yan's hand and led her out of the carriage.

Quddy and Pearl were already waiting for them at the post.Chu Li recruited the station official and asked him to arrange Qiao Niang first.Qu Di wondered, "Don't ask her about the demon way?"

The word "Yao Dao" made Chu Li stiff. She raised her eyes to look at Qu Di. The depth in her originally clear eyes made Qu Di's heart tremble, "National teacher?"

Chu Li lowered his eyes, suppressed his emotion and smiled at her, "Qiao Niang was overly frightened, and if she doesn't want to go with us, it's hard to force her."

"Then how do we find that demon?"

"So let Qiao Niang rest well first, and after recovering her spirits, let's find a painter and draw the appearance of a demon."

"That might be a way." Qu Di nodded, and then took another look at Chu Li. Why did she feel that Chu Li looked at her differently?However, there is no clue.Master Chu still had clear eyes and an amiable smile.

They rested at the station for a day.

The next day, Qu Di was looking for a painter, Chu Li said, "No need, my sister already painted last night."

"Sister Shi?"

"Well." Chu Li said, "It's just that Qiao Niang didn't say anything in detail, saying that she didn't see the real face of the man, but only remembered a mask with a blue face and fangs."

"What is your stature? Tall, short, fat, thin?"

"I didn't say it."

Qu Di frowned, "You should ask about these things, I'll go to Qiao Niang."

"She has already left overnight." Chu Li showed no expression, "Because she was afraid of going to Ludi with us, if the senior sister hadn't gone to find her last night, I'm afraid she would have slipped away long ago."

Qu Di took a look at her and felt a little weird.

Chu Li smiled noncommittally, then paced out for a stroll.Just happened to meet Gong Shuding who was excitedly running out to play, "National Teacher, I'll take you to a place, it's very interesting."

Chu Li didn't refuse, and only said casually after leaving the door, "It's okay for us to come this way, and we haven't seen those killers who openly kill and assassinate again."

"No, I also find it strange." Gongshu Ding said, "I have seen suspicious-looking people several times, but they disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye."

Chu Li heard that he didn't know, so he smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

"I just don't know whether it's an enemy or a friend who is helping us." Gong Shuding glanced at her, "Master, you have made a lot of enemies."

Chu Li smiled helplessly.

The door of suspicion in her heart has been opened, and now it is not only confirmed that Qu Di is using her purposefully, she even begins to distrust Shi Yan.After all, Shi Yan had always made her believe in Qu Di from the very beginning. When Qiao Niang exposed her flaws that day, although Shi Yan helped her, he obviously also intended to protect Qu Di.

But why protect Qudi?Chu Li thought, could it be that Qudi was as important as himself to Shi Qi—or more important than himself?But how is it possible?How long has Shi Yan known Qu Di?

She trusted Shi Yan so much, she would believe whatever Shi Yan said, but now Chu Li discovered that Shi Yan was not completely trustworthy.This feeling was a thousand times more unbearable than finding out that he was being used by Qu Di.Anyone in this world can take advantage of her, anyone can deceive her, except Shi Qi, not at all.She can laugh away at the spurning of the whole world, but she can't let go of Shi Yan's repeated concealment.

Chu Li sorted out what had happened in the past few days, from the time she found out that Gongshu must have been sent by Shi Yan to help her, until Shi Yan let Qiao Niang go last night.Chu Li found that there were various doubts during this period, but Shi Qi did not give her a reasonable explanation.For example, what is her relationship with Mo Zhuang?Why does Mo Zhuang, who has never been in a loss-making business, help Shi Qi again and again?Why is she able to send the public to lose Ding?Why did Wu Xi and Sui Sui go all the way to save her?And the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, why did she go all out to save the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?Now Chu Li knew that the prince of the Southern Dynasty who met back then came for Shi Fu, but Shi Yan didn't mention a word when she asked.Another example was last night, Shi Qi went to find Qiaoniang on his own, and came back in the middle of the night, only saying that Qiaoniang didn't remember the monster's appearance and wanted to escape, so he let her go.

One pile after another, they are all incomprehensible.Shi Yan also said to be patient, saying that people's hearts are unpredictable, and the way she slapped Qiao Niang in the carriage was so strange.

Chu Li has long recovered from the sadness of being used by Qu Di, and she doesn't care so much about Qu Di's purpose of approaching her.After all, she didn't trust him wholeheartedly in the first place, and his betrayal of her made her feel reasonable, and immediately she didn't feel guilty about defrauding her of Qu Di's Wuming Fan.

But she was deeply in doubt about Shi Yan.It wasn't doubtful, but she suddenly discovered that she didn't know anything about Shi Yan at all.

Said to be senior sister, childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart.Shi Yan has always been clear about her affairs, including the things before she was taken in by the master.But what about her to Shi Yan?Apart from the ten years they have been together, apart from knowing that her name is Shi Yan, and getting along with him day and night, I don't know anything else.

Chu Li touched the Red Heart Bodhi tree in her neck, which was a gift from Shi Yan when she celebrated her first birthday.It should be the first time Shi Yan celebrated someone else's birthday, obviously he was in a hurry and didn't prepare anything, so he took off the Red Heart Bodhi from his neck, saying that he brought it up since he was a child, and gave it to Chu Li.

Chuli area is almost ten years.

It's been ten years, and I don't know anything about Shi Yan's communication.I don't know if it was Shi Yan who concealed it on purpose, or he didn't care at all.A pimple developed in Chu Li's heart, and it grew and became more severe, making her heart ache.

As for the question about Gong Shuding, after thinking about it, Chu Li felt that it wasn't that there was no killer, but that the killer had been killed in advance.She felt murderous aura many times along the way, but she never encountered any interception.Think about it, on the original road, she, Qu Di, Zhu Er, and Gong Shuding were assassinated continuously.But at this moment, since Shi Yan came here together, there has been no assassination incident.

If Shi Yan killed these people secretly, then what is behind Shi Yan?Chu Li's clear eyes were as deep as a black ink pond at the moment, she thought, if it wasn't for Shi Yan, then why did these people save them?Regardless of whether it was Shi Yan's intention or not, the forces behind these are definitely inseparable from Shi Yan.

She never asked about things that Shi Yan didn't want to say, but when these things were closely related to her, Chu Li seemed to put his heart on the fire.She couldn't stand that she didn't know anything about Shi Qi.Chu Li gritted his teeth, suppressing the emotion in his eyes.What Shi Kui said is right, a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans.In the past, she herself was too naive, she was sincere to everyone, and was willing to treat each other with heart, but not everyone was worthy of her sincerity and sincerity.What's more, dealing with things in this world with sincerity and integrity may not be the best solution.

She was extremely tormented in her heart, but she had to hold back all her emotions and pretend that nothing had happened.Although he is full of doubts about Shi Yan, Chu Li firmly believes that no matter what Shi Yan does in a place she doesn't know, it will not hurt her.Chu Li has this self-confidence, even if the whole world hurts her, Shi Yan won't.Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Shi Yan would lose the whole world, he would definitely not lose her.

She just annoyed herself for being too frank, for people to see the bottom line at a glance.Just like a defenseless child, that's why Shi Qi couldn't be relieved and couldn't share what Shi Qi had endured.

Chu Li felt sad and secretly made up his mind.She still doesn't know a single word from Shi Yan, and one day, she will let Shi Yan tell her everything willingly.

Gongshu Ding said, "Here we are." It turned out that the very interesting place he was talking about was actually a theater troupe setting up a small stall, playing with some moving puppets.Chu Li smiled, and it really was something that Gong Shuding would find interesting.

A puppet show was being sung at the stall, and Chu Li didn't know what story it was singing, but Chu Li listened to a line of libretto, "Don't say that the lord has the world in mind, so he wants to abandon the slave family. I don't know why." For the king of the world."

Gongshuding only cares about the puppet's clever movements, so he doesn't care about listening to the music.It's just that Chu Li suddenly heard a clear female voice beside him saying sarcastically, "Hey, the world. If you can't save yourself, and you can't protect your wife and children, why dare you talk about the world."

Chu Li raised his head to look, and saw a weak girl with a little girl beside her. She looked weak, but she was also flirtatious.It was rather awkward when those words came out of her mouth.

"Girl, let's go back." The little girl followed, "Later, the madam will scold you."

The girl glanced at her, "What are you afraid of? Let's see if she dares to scold you." The words were powerful, and the girl was afraid that she would often see her throwing temper, so she didn't dare to speak more.Chu Li looked at her, and she also looked at Chu Li. The two didn't say a word, and Chu Li frowned.

Suddenly I heard the girl say, "You look so familiar."

Chu Li was surprised, the girl said "Oh" as if suddenly, but she didn't say much, and just left with the little girl.Chu Li looked at the back of the two leaving, her brows became tighter and tighter, she was sure that she didn't know the girl.But from his tone, it seems that he knows her?

Lost in thought, she asked Gong Shuding, "Who was that girl just now?"

"A brothel girl, just like Qiao Niang." Gong Shuding is a man after all, no matter how much he focused on the puppet before, he couldn't help but look twice when he saw the beauty.

When Chu Li heard the word "brothel", she suddenly felt as if Qiao Niang had spit on her face again. She touched her cheek and said to herself, "I never knew a girl from a brothel."

"There are many benefactors in the brothel, and they know the most news." Gong Shuding said, "Maybe you can go and inquire about the news of the demon."

Chu Li glanced at him, and Gong Shuding said hastily, "It's just to find out the news, there is absolutely no other intention."

"Then you go." Chu Li looked at him meaningfully, "It's been a while since I came out, I will go shopping by myself, you can do it yourself."

The words imply that Gong Shuding doesn't have to be embarrassed, just go where he wants to go, and immediately makes Gong Shuding blush.

Seeing his embarrassment, Chu Li's mood relaxed a little, but there was still a huge rock in his heart, which was heavy.I didn't know how long I walked aimlessly, and I didn't know where I was, but a figure flashed in front of my eyes, which surprised Chu Li.

——Wuxi?

She frowned and followed quickly.Seeing Wu Xi entered a courtyard of makeup, he looked up and saw three large characters written on it, "Enter the Immortal Pavilion."

Two red lanterns hung on both sides of the gate, like guiding lights, announcing the excitement here.It turned out to be a brothel.
