Chapter 41

On the fifth day of the first month, Qin Shan and his party escaped from the small town controlled by Badaotang and Xiao Yi.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, several people stayed in a secret residence left by Qi Ruowang during his lifetime to recuperate.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there was news from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill and had no children under his knees, so Prince Feng would temporarily supervise the country, and the Minister Zuo would assist the government.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, outside the pass, the Xiqiang people conquered three border cities in a row, and the border hurried.

Just when King Xiqiang received one after another good news, his servant brought him heart news again.

"Oh, those people in Wuminggu said they want to congratulate me on my birthday?" Xiqiang Lien won the battle. King Xiqiang was in a good mood. He laughed and said, "When did they know they were coming to please this king?"

"The king is heroic and martial. Under the leadership of the king, Xiqiang will soon dominate the world. These people from the Central Plains wink, and they will know whom to loyal."

The servant flattered.

"Really?" King Xiqiang said lightly: "But they didn't seem to think that way before. This king remembers that another Wuminggu disciple ran into my son and frightened my son."

Seeing the king's face, the servant hurriedly said: "The Han people say that those who know the current affairs are brilliant, now and then. Now they don't have General Gregorce as a backer, and the Daqi dynasty has also fallen to the west and will soon die. Of course they understand that they want to please the king to make up for their previous mistakes."

King Xiqiang asked: "What gifts did these martial artists prepare?"

"I heard that the disciples of the school are going to cheer for Wang Wujian." The servant said, "Wuminggu is also a well-known school in the Central Plains. If they perform martial arts, they must be worth seeing. And the king can also take this to shame. For some Central Plains people, if they want to come to their martial arts famous places, they can only do things for Wang, and these Central Plains people will even lose their faces."

"Hahahaha, okay! You still can talk. Let's leave it to you to arrange, the king's birthday in January will be very busy!"

"Yes--"

The servant bowed and retreated. After leaving the king's account, he turned to a corner of no one and said to the people who had been waiting there: "Everything has been arranged for you, but it took me a lot of work."

The man did not rush, and handed him a small pouch.

The servant weighed the weight and said with satisfaction: "The king is in a good mood, and he gave you this opportunity, but you must cherish it. If there is another accident, it will not be as simple as the last time you were thrown into the river."

He looked at the man arrogantly one last time, and walked away.

But the person standing in the same place silently looked at his back and tightened his fingers secretly.

...

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

It is rare for so many people to gather together, and Aunt Chun has been busy since early in the morning because she wanted to do a good job. Qingtian and Mingyue were both taken by him, and Qin Shan also leaned forward to help, but was driven out by Aunt Chun.

"Oh, where are you able to do these jobs, you just have to wait to eat."

Aunt Chun courageously drove all the people out of the kitchen, leaving them alone to prepare.

Qin Shan: "Is she still angry with me?"

After the incident last time, Aunt Chun seems to have changed a lot when seeing him these days. She no longer treats Qin Shan with the same respect as she used to, and rarely calls his master. On the contrary, Qin Shan will be criticized by Aunt Chun for anything that does not suit her wishes. For example, I don't know how to change clothes after wearing for a few days. You can't just eat meat and not vegetables for lunch. These things that were never noticed in the past are now being nagged by Aunt Chun.

Yan Xiaobei said with a smile, "That's not it. When I did something wrong in the valley, I would always be punished by the master. Master said that he would punish me only when he loves me. Good. Aunt Chun must treat you as a son, Brother Shan."

Qin Shan, who had not had a mother since she was a child, and was always dominated by her master even with her mother, felt this complicated feeling for the first time.

He looked at Yan Xiaobei, "Since you remember these things, what do you remember?"

In the past few days, he felt that Yan Xiaobei was different, and he began to wonder if he remembered something in the past.

"Remember what?" Yan Xiaobei blinked, "Brother Shan goes out with me, I'll tell you!"

Qin Shan could not help laughing at himself for being suspicious, seeing his child's disposition.

"Go, go!"

He looked at Yan Xiaobei pitifully looking at himself, with a look of expectation and faint fear of rejection, Qin Shan couldn't help but smile. He didn't even notice that, with a smile of indulgence and spoiling.

He said: "Okay."

And just after Qin Shan and Yan Mobei went out for a walk, the few people who had nothing to do in the house, except for Pu Cunxi, who was still treating Tibetan wind, all went out for a walk in order to live up to the good spring.

As the leader of the first religion, Qin Shan's junior, Liu Han has not been so relaxed in a long time.

He walked in the plum grove by the river with the people beside him, watching the plum blossoms blooming, blooming, and ready to bloom. He couldn't help but said with emotion: "When Master was still there, my brother and I only needed to finish the arrangement I often came out to play. I remember back then, when I was young, and sometimes I was detained when I couldn't complete the Master's mission. I could only watch the brother go out to play alone, and I cried anxiously."

Walking in the plum forest, he said without anger: "Thinking that when I first entered Buddhism, I used to sweep the dead branches and leaves of the plum forest.

Liu Han continued: "At that time, when the master was still there, and there was someone on my head, I would be lawless. If I hadn't been for the seniors to take care of me, I would have become a demon king."

Wu Anger said: "When I first entered the monastery, Master once said that my xinxing was not suitable for practicing Buddhism and wanted to refuse to accept me. But the people who brought me pleaded with him in every way. I knelt in front of Master for three days. That night, the master changed his mouth."

Liu Han smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, I didn't become the Hunshi Demon King, but became the leader of the Demon Cult."

Wu Anger said: "Master said that you can accept me to get started, but I can't enter the world again in this life. If you violate the oath, you will be condemned by the Buddha. He also said that practicing the general Buddhism with my disposition will only lead to demons, and can only practice angry King Kong. Together."

He sighed and said, "Master saw that at that time, there was resentment in my heart."

Liu Han said, "Whatever it is, whether it is the demon king, the demon leader, or the resentment of others, just take it. If you can bear it, you can bear it. If you can't bear it, you can die!"

No anger: "Amitabha, I still don't talk about these past events."

Liu Han: "Alright, let's not talk about the past, just talk about today. Speaking of it, today is the Lantern Festival. I also remembered that my sister made sesame-stuffed Lantern Festival for us. I don't like sweets, I always secretly give them to my seniors."

No anger: "Is it Yuanxiao? When my mother was still there, she always gave me Yuanxiao. In fact, she is not good at cooking, but she has to worry about me like this."

"Your mother?"

"She has passed away."

The plum grove is full of flowers, blocking the line of sight. The figure walked under the tree under the flower and suddenly stepped into a fairyland.

"I opened my eyes that day and saw her lying in front of me, no longer breathing." Liu Han said.

"By whom?" the people beside him couldn't help asking.

Liu Han pushed a branch away, took a step forward, and said the answer coldly. At the same time, another voice came into his ears.

Liu Han: "My father."

No anger: "My father."

After saying this, the two looked up, and they were all taken aback. They didn't expect to meet each other in this Merlin.

"Master?!" Xiao Yingran, standing behind Wu'an, said in surprise, "Are you also taking a walk here?"

Bai Meike looked at Wu Ange and his big disciple who appeared together, nodded slightly and said: "I think the sunshine today is just right for Han'er to come out. I haven't seen him for many years, so I took this opportunity to talk in detail. "

"Little bald donkey."

Liu Han raised his eyebrows, "Are you eavesdropping on us here?"

Wu Anger said indifferently: "The donor's words are wrong. If you don't hear me, how can you know that I will hear you. If you eavesdrop, just let each other."

Xiao Yingran saw that they were about to quarrel again before they could say a few words, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, this village is so big, and chance encounters are normal. Master Liu, no anger, the two should stop arguing. it is good?"

Liu Han glanced at Xiao Yingran, but didn't cause trouble anymore.

Seeing this without anger, he said: "There is no contention, so how can you hold on?"

Liu Lengren smiled coldly, and left after shaking his sleeves.

Xiao Yingran and Bai Meike each gave a wry smile, and followed them away.

After they left, Mei Lin was silent, only the sound of the wind blowing flowers.

After a long while, a voice came from afar from the dense plum forest.

"Brother Shan, have you heard everything?"

"...Ok."

"Then we are eavesdropping."

Qin Shan was silent for a moment, and said, "We came before them, and we didn't intend to, it doesn't count."

"I said so." Yan Xiaobei smiled brightly, "Since they were going to say it, it happened that we heard it, so we don't count as eavesdropping."

He said, jumping from the tree.

"Oh, I'm hungry, go back and eat the Yuanxiao made by Aunt Chun!"

Qin Shan looked at his Le Diandian running away, and then recalled what he had just heard.

[If it were not for the presence of seniors, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the devil's way long ago. He sighed quietly in his heart, turned down the tree, and followed Yan Mobei.

Yan Xiaobei saw him and waved: "Brother Shan! Come chase me, chase me!"

Qin Shan: "..."

After chasing this stinky boy, he must be spanked severely.

In the afternoon, a few people returned to the courtyard when they were tired of playing. Aunt Chun brought out the hot Lantern Festival to them one by one. When everyone was eating hotly, an old man with messy hair ran out of the house.

"Wake up, wake up! He's awake!"

"Who is awake?"

"Zang Feng, he woke up."
