The Way of the National Teacher

Chu Li looked at Shi Kui's expression, feeling guilty as hell.Shi Yan frowned and looked at it for a while, his face darkened, he turned and left.

Chu Li hurriedly followed.Shi Yan went straight back to the room, and closed the door with a "bang". Chu Li ate the door and was at a loss when he heard the door creak and opened again. drizzle.Shi Yan took a brand new green shirt in his hand and handed it to her, "Go take a bath." After speaking, he slammed the door shut again.

Chu Li held the new shirt with a sweet heart.Her clothes are all sewn by Shi Qi stitch by stitch.At the moment, most of the haze in my heart disappeared, I knocked on the door and shouted to Shi Yan, "I'm going!"

However, she stopped just two steps away, and went to the station guard to get the silver taels overnight.The emperor gave an order that no matter where the national teacher is, if he is short of money or goods, he can go to the post station to pick it up.This is the first time for Chu Li to withdraw money. The guard recorded it in the book and asked her what the money was for. Chu Li almost missed the point, so he quickly stopped and said, "I found out that there are evil monsters, use the money to buy some news "The guards are only responsible for recording, and when the time comes, the higher-ups will have a good name for asking, so how dare they ask the national teacher what he wants money for.

Chu Li took 100 taels of silver and ran out in a hurry without changing his clothes.Hong Lian explained to her tomorrow that she didn't dare to wait until tomorrow when she saw Shi Yan's expression just now, she just hoped to redeem the pendant as soon as possible.She ran all the way, and it was a good time to enter the fairy pavilion at night, and this time it went in especially smoothly, but she couldn't find Honglian.

Chu Li was anxious, "Where is Miss Honglian?"

"Honglian is picking up the guests!" Another girl came over, "Benefactor, why don't you let the servants serve you?"

"Where to pick up the guests? I have something urgent to find her." But I was stopped, "It's too inappropriate to bother her at a time like this."

The girls who entered the fairy pavilion behaved wildly and boldly. Chu Li couldn't talk to them. It took about half a stick of incense to remind them three times and four times before someone went to Honglian.Chu Li was afraid of being prevaricated again, so he hurriedly followed.The girl said, "Benefactor, this has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis. If Honglian's affairs are over, you can't force it."

"..." Chu Li was extremely embarrassed, "I came to redeem things, not..."

The woman glanced at her and covered her mouth with a smile.

Chu Li became more and more uncomfortable.He just followed to the door of the room, and before he walked in, he heard moans mixed with pain coming from inside, Chu Li didn't move forward or retreat for a while.The woman leading the way glanced at her expression and asked in wonder, "Are you really here to redeem something?"

Chu Li nodded.

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to come back tomorrow." The woman said, "Honglian is picking up customers who are known to be troublesome this time. After this night, I don't know what Honglian is like. You'd better come tomorrow afternoon. , Honglian might be able to wake up."

Chu Li gasped, the woman said it as if nothing happened, but Chu Li's heart twitched when he heard it, and he felt a little pity for Honglian.She pursed her lips, "What is the origin of the guest?"

"A rich man," said the woman, "his hands are ruthless. It should be Honglian's bad luck. He greeted the door well, but he came in for some reason, and happened to bump into this terrible person, alas." The words were pitiful, but the tone was It is extremely indifferent, almost numb and emotionless.

When Chu Li heard it, Honglian was pulled in by himself?She suddenly felt a little guilty, but at this moment, she heard Honglian's cry of pain, Chu Xin was startled, walked around the woman, and pushed open the door.

"Hey, benefactor, this is—"

Before the woman could stop her, Chu Li broke into the door.Facing him, he saw an old man hoisting up Honglian's limbs, biting Honglian Xuefeng fiercely with his teeth.There was already blood on that tooth, and Honglian screamed in pain.This scene made Chu Li furious, she stepped forward a few steps, and kicked the naked man off Hong Lian's body, the man let out a scream, covered his body and cursed, "Whoever spoiled me is good!" When Chu Li heard him speak, he became more angry and kicked him at the root of his life. The man screamed and rolled on the ground.

Hong Lian and the girl who just led the way were dumbfounded, "En... benefactor..."

The woman who was leading the way hurried over to stop her, "The benefactor can't force it! This will kill people. We can't afford it!"

"I'll bear it!" Chu Li couldn't hold back his anger, and stepped on the old man's throat viciously, "So what if I kill you?"

The man was so stepped on that he couldn't speak, Hong Lian opened her mouth, "Please forgive him, benefactor!"

Chu Li looked back at her, "Are you still pleading for him?"

Hong Lian paused, and turned her head away, "I'm in this business, how can I blame the customers." She was still bound, until there was movement outside, Hong Lian said, "Yingying, go and close the door! Dare to let the madam know."

The woman's name was Yingying. After hearing what she said, she hurriedly closed the door and went to untie Honglian.

Chu Li raised his foot, looked coldly at the two women and one man in the room, she said, "Since you are willing, I don't have to worry about it." Then she said to Hong Lian, "Girl, I will redeem my pendant. "

Honglian was in so much pain that she couldn't even put on her own clothes, so she barely put on a layer of gauze, "Come back to my room to pick it up."

Yingying supported her, and Chu Li followed them at a distance of five steps.Honglian took the pendant for her and wrapped it with a white handkerchief, "My family knows that the benefactor is precious to this pendant, but my hands are dirty and I dare not touch it, so I put it in this handkerchief."

It was really uncomfortable to hear.Chu Li pursed his lips, took away the Red Heart Bodhi, and gave them all the 100 taels on his body.

Then he didn't stay any longer and walked away quickly.It might as well just go downstairs when Wu Xi folded his hands in his sleeves and looked at her calmly, "Chu Li."

Chu Li paused, "What are you doing?"

Wu Xi said, "Does Shi Yan know that you are here?"

"It's none of your business," Chu Li was upset, "She is my senior sister, not your senior sister."

"You walked around the brothel once, and within three days, you have to stay away from your senior sister." Wu Xi didn't lose her temper at all, "Remember."

"Why!" Chu Li said, "Why should I listen to you?"

Wu Xi looked at her calmly and said, "For your senior sister's sake. You don't know too much."

Chu Li choked, "What do you know?"

"I can't tell you what I know. Chu Li, as long as you are willing to devote yourself to practicing, you can't hide anything from your eyes. But now, you are blinded by passion|desire. It's a pity." Wu Xi was expressionless, "Chu Li, can you still see your own heart?"

Chu Li couldn't listen to Wu Xi's words at all. She had a prejudice against Wu Xi in her heart, and she just felt that whatever Wu Xi said was off her ears.So his expression became impatient, "You are also in the brothel yourself, teach me something."

Seeing her expression, Wu Xi couldn't help sighing, "You Taoists say that the five colors make people blind, the five tones make people deaf, and the five tastes make people's mouths refreshed; hiring and hunting makes people's hearts go crazy; hard-to-find goods make people hinder. Chu Li , Everything has trade-offs, the deeper you enter the world, the farther you are from the Tao, wouldn’t it be a pity if you go astray because of this?” He said again, “Just now you were angry and acted cruelly, Chu Li, you should be vigilant.”

"You don't need to teach me a lesson!" Chu Li's face became more and more unkind.She was indeed suddenly angry just now, and she couldn't suppress it.And at that moment, I really wanted to kill that man.This would never have happened in the past.But along the way, what Chu Li experienced made her upset and confused.First of all, she treats Shi Qi, she is worried and timid, she loves and pities him but refuses to approach him.Gradually, he completely forgot to resist, and only wanted to stick to Shi Yan every day.Then it was Qiao Niang's hateful scolding, which made Chu Li even more resentful.Later, it was discovered that not only the emperor was using him, but even Princess Shanggu, whom he regarded as a friend, had been using him as a pawn, and Chu Li's emotions had reached a critical point.It's just that she didn't express her anger and was depressed, but she happened to meet an old man who bullied Honglian, and she exploded.But once this anger and resentment erupted, it was difficult to contain it.Chu Li's hostility had increased, but she didn't feel it.

Wu Xi has always been hated by her, but never as much as today.And although he didn't say it clearly, Wu Xi has always admired Chu Li.Seeing her like this now, even though she knew it was not appropriate to say these words to Chu Li, Wu Xi still spoke.She was eager to cherish her talents, but she didn't expect that Chu Li's dislike for her had changed from the original dislike to the current disgust, and even with her words, Chu Li couldn't listen to a word.

Chu Li flung his sleeves away.Wu Xi looked at her leaving back, her deep pool-like pupils were dark, and murmured, "Miss Shi, do you really not regret it? Chu Li has changed."

Chu Li had a gloomy face all the way, and when he returned to the inn, he saw Shi Yu talking and laughing with Qu Di.Chu Li glanced at Qu Di and then at Shi Qi, feeling even more unhappy.She thought to herself, Shi Yuming knew that Qu Di was using her, yet he was so kind to Qu Di, he was not pretending at all, he didn't seem to be perfunctory at all.Her complexion became more and more unwell.

One Wuxi has already made her more troublesome, and now there is another annoying Qu Di——Chu Li gradually dislikes Qu Di, no matter what he says or does, she feels that he has some purpose—— Chu Li only felt that this trip to the top three made her extremely irritable.

"Didn't I ask you to change the laundry?" Shi Yan's face was also not good-looking. She had waited for a long time and saw no movement from Chu Li. Who knew that Chu Li could no longer be seen after she came out, and her clothes were not changed.Seeing Qu Di sitting alone in the yard looking at the stars, she stepped forward to ask Chu Li's whereabouts.Qu Di shook his head, looking very lonely.Shi Yan's heart softened, so he sat down and chatted with her to make her happy.

"Oh." Chu Li responded lightly, turned around and left.

Shi Yan frowned at her, not knowing what was wrong with her.Qu Di was also surprised, "What happened to the national teacher?"

"I don't know." Shi Yan's eyes flickered, "She smells like she has gone to a brothel. When she came back, she looked nervous, but now she is so yin and yang." Shi Yan raised his forehead, "What's the matter?" ?”

"I'll ask when she comes out." As soon as Qu Di said that, Shi Yan thought about it, shook his head and said, "Don't recruit her right now." After thinking for a while, he said, "When I take a break, I'll check her out .”
