Chapter 694 I didn’t expect it, I learned this from your father
Zhao Fengya looked at the luminous pearl in her hand and felt very embarrassed. When she was born, the Sui Kingdom bowed its head to Li Yang. Along with the letter of credence, there was a huge luminous pearl dug at the foot of Mount Tai. The emperor was very happy and gave it to him. The title of Princess Sui Zhu, also known as Na A huge luminous pearl that required four maids to surround it was placed in her room. The two luminous pearls in her hands were naturally inferior to the serious Sui pearls, but they were something she played with and carried around every day. Yellow-haired girl, she is very unwilling.
"Where are the people from the Wu-Tang Clan? Are all the people from the Wu-Dang Clan dead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhonglou walked into the small courtyard with a fly whisk in hand and walked into the small courtyard with steady steps. He looked at Sun Diao Si who was afraid to move because Lao Kui's knife was held on his neck. He took a closer look at the woman disguised as a man. Zhao Fengya, remembering the secret report she had received earlier, tentatively said: "I am the headmaster of Wudang, Wang Zhonglou, but is this Princess Sui Zhu?"
"Hmph." Zhao Fengya pointed at Xu Fengnian and Lao Kui: "I order you to arrest them."
"Your Highness, aren't you trying to embarrass an old Taoist? We in the Wudang Sect focus on cultivating the mind and despise martial arts, and the three of them..." Wang Chonglou shook his head: "I can't beat you, but I just heard you talking about gold with the Crown Prince, so why not let's start with How about advance payment?”
Xu Fengnian clasped her hands behind her back and walked up to the two of them: "Yes, but Her Royal Highness must create a written note stating the amount of money owed, and then sign and stamp it, and press her fingerprints."
"You...Xu Fengnian...you go too far."
Zhao Fengya's little mouth curled up, and her heart was filled with anger. At this time, she was really crying out to the heavens and the earth. When she came here, she only wanted to vent her anger about Xu Fengnian's resistance to marriage, which made her the laughing stock of Tai'an City. She didn't do it at all. Unexpectedly, Princess Sui Zhu, who was a powerful figure in Tai'an City, came to Wudang Mountain and couldn't even take advantage of a little maid. She was so angry that she had to take in two beloved luminous pearls.
"Zhao Ke's Hu Ying is in the wild, and Wu's hook is frosty and snowy. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star. Kill a person in ten steps, and leave no trace for a thousand miles. When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and hides his body and name."
The sound diffused into the courtyard, flickering and misty. One moment it seemed to be on the winding path halfway up the mountain, the next moment it reached the airtight green bamboo field, and then it was blown away by the mountain mist and sprinkled on Begonia's heart. Cardamom tips.
Step, one cow's hoof crushed the gravel on the ground, step, another cow's hoof fell, crushing the gravel that had just been stepped on. Bamboo leaves supported the suspense, and the sky did not leak out. Only when the people in the courtyard squinted their eyes could they see clearly the other side of the small courtyard. A big green cow walked slowly on one side. The green cow was old, and its steps were slow and anxious. There was a yellow-skinned cow hanging from its spirally bent horns. The thread-bound booklet, the mountain wind flipped through the book, the tilted title page covered the "Huang Ting" below, leaving only the word "big". On the corner of the cow's head was a red gourd worth five cents each from the market at the foot of the mountain. There should be half a jug of wine. Every time Qingniu takes a step, it will make two splashing sounds. When walking around Wudang Mountain in this way, the smell of the wine will be gone before the wine is finished.
Wang Zhonglou's face was not very good, because Qingniu was his junior brother's Qingniu, and the person on Qingniu's back who was sleeping on the imperial concubine was the one who made him feel powerless. Didn't that guy go down the mountain? Why did you go around in a circle and come to Yunju Peak again?
"Lin Qing..."
Xu Fengnian's hands behind his back dropped to the left and right sides of his white robe. His fists were clenched tighter and tighter. His eyes were extremely solemn. He climbed up the stairs with hatred in his heart, rising higher and higher. With Lao Huang's sword, Qingniao's martial arts, and Hongshu's body, he wanted to There are many, many accounts to be settled with this person.
"Master, you... you wait for me."
Behind the green cow was a little maid in a yellow skirt, holding an old rattle in her hand, chasing after him panting, as if she could never catch up with the old and slow big green cow.
"Cucumber!"
Xu Fengnian shouted through the fence. The blushing and sweaty girl in front of her shivered and looked in front of the thatched cottage door. She saw Xu Fengnian, the Crown Prince of Prince Ming, who had been serving him for several years, and Jiang Ni, who was said to be the Princess of Xi Chu. , and a few strangers, that is not important. What is important is, whose maid is she now, the second-class maid Cucumber of Wutong Garden, or the rattle maid who can never catch up with Tanhua Lang?
Daqingniu was unhurried and his style remained the same. He turned around the fence gate, walked up the slope, and came to Zhao Fengya. The most favored princess of the day carefully looked at the strange visitor who looked lazily and was not in tune with the poem he had just recited. , although he did not know the identity of the visitor, just by looking at the expressions of Wang Zhonglou and Xu Fengnian, the identity of the man lying on the cow was as high as the Tianling Gai.
"Who are you?"
Chu Pingsheng did not answer the question, so he stretched, stood up and sat down on the green ox. He looked at Lao Kui who had been locked at the bottom of the lake for more than ten years. He took one breath, two breaths, three breaths. Lao Kui swallowed his saliva and slowly Sheathed the knife and took five or six steps back: "Xu Fengnian, we have something to say first. I can protect you, but I won't fight him."
It can be seen how shocked he was by the battle outside Chaoting, and even the most arrogant Beimang swordsman stopped being arrogant.
Sun Diao Si touched his neck, but before his head could move, he hurried to his master's side, lowered his head and whispered: "This old slave is incompetent and has embarrassed the princess."
There was no place for him in Zhao Fengya's eyes. She pushed him away, stared at Chu Pingsheng's side face and asked, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Who are you?"
"Passing by."
Passing by?
Is this an answer? Does it count?
Tap tap tap tap...
The small steps brought up a faint dust, and the projectile hit the drum head, making two "dong-dong" sounds. Cucumber walked up to Qingniu, raised his face proudly, and looked at his former master. If it weren't for Lin Tanhua, she would have died by Xu Rentu's knife like Baigan and Ziya. Why should she feel guilty about Xu Fengnian?
"Traitor." Jiang Ni pouted and rolled his eyes with disdain.
Cucumber didn't reply, he picked off the red gourd hanging from the horns, pulled off the lid like Xu Fengnian did in the old costume, and held the gourd bottom and sent it over. Chu Pingsheng took a gentle sip of Lao Baigan from Song Zhiming's Thatched Cottage, who also made alchemy and wine.
"I heard that this acre of vegetable garden is worth two thousand taels of gold?"
Xu Fengnian squinted his eyes and said, "Do you have any objections?"
"Not worth it."
"I said it was worth two thousand taels of gold, so it is worth two thousand taels of gold." Chu Pingsheng leaned up, tilted his head, looked at Zhao Fengya and said, "Then do you still pay for this vegetable garden?"< br>
"Joke."
Just now Sun Diao Si was under Lao Kui's sword. She was meat on the chopping board. She couldn't get away without paying compensation. She must pay compensation. Now she still has to pay? She was a little presumptuous, but she was no fool.
"So you see, pricing power will always be in the hands of those with strong fists." Chu Pingsheng said: "But fortunately, you met me, a person who has always been reasonable and a person who likes to help others resolve lawsuits. Wang Zhong Lou, let me ask you, does Wudang Mountain belong to the fiefdom of King Beimu?"
Wang Zhonglou said truthfully: "It is under the rule of King Beimu, not the fiefdom of King Beimu."
"The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. Do any of you object?"
"..."
"No one objects, then Wudang Mountain belongs to the Zhao family of Liyang Dynasty."
Seeing that things were about to turn around, Wang Chonglou hurriedly made amends: "According to the regulations of the Chongxuan Administration, although Wudang Mountain is the land of the Wang family, the right to use and manage it belongs to Wudang."
Chu Pingsheng said: "In other words, the land belongs to the royal family, and the things on the land belong to the Wudang sect?"
"So to speak."
"Well, Zhao Fengya destroyed the vegetable garden. If we want to compensate, we only have to compensate for the crops on the ground, right?"
When Sun Diao Si saw him calling Princess Sui Zhu by her name, he subconsciously wanted to scold him. As soon as he raised his hand, he looked at Chu Pingsheng from the corner of his eye and swallowed the word "bold" back into his stomach. Thinking of Lao Kui's show of weakness, I'm scared.
Wang Zhonglou ignored the scene before him and nodded: "The truth is...that's right."
"Then let me ask you again. Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni have only been up the mountain for less than ten days. The beans and cucumbers in this vegetable garden are almost ready to bear fruit. Could it be that you in Wudang Mountain have a method that promotes metabolization and ripening of seedlings, so that the green vegetables can grow in ten days? Take root, sprout, and bloom?”
"This... is this given to His Royal Highness by Wudang?"
"Wang Chonglou, I originally wanted to give you a good death, but based on these two words of yours, I will make it impossible for you to live or die." Chu Pingsheng looked at Wudang Headmaster with disdain, TV series These elders from the Taoist sect here are all very arrogant and wish they could sit on top of the clouds, but the things they do are nothing but intrigues and intrigues.
"Just now, I was riding a green ox and passed by the vegetable garden under Yanfeng Peak. I heard the Taoist priest who grew vegetables say that in the past two days, a thief came to the mountain to steal vegetables, and they stole them whole. Even the small shovel he placed under the eaves I also went along with him. Do you need me to arrest the vegetable grower and confront him on the spot?”
The headmaster of Wudang looked like the bottom of a pot and said nothing.
Chu Pingsheng sneered at Jiang Ni and said: "If your hands and feet are not clean, you must be taught a lesson. Since Crown Prince Ming is reluctant to slap him, someone else will take action to discipline him. I think that slap was very good and timely. Also, ah "A few green vegetables are worth two thousand taels of gold, but the prince has set the price himself. Please compensate Wudang with these two thousand taels of gold."
Xu Fengnian never expected that the hole he dug would actually hurt him. Just like Wang Zhonglou, he had a sullen face and said nothing. He was so angry that the princess of the subjugated country glared at her halberd, her face was red, she wanted to reason but couldn't, and she wanted to curse. It was extremely frustrating to hold on to one's own identity.
Zhao Fengya finally found a chance to win back the victory. She twirled the two luminous pearls in her hand, lowered her head and smiled softly: "Did the Crown Prince not bring so much money? No problem, you can write an IOU to Headmaster Wang first. I, Princess Sui Zhu, , should be qualified to be a witness.”
Jiang Ni stamped her foot and sold Hong Xixiang: "Hong Xixiang helped me get it from the vegetable garden."
She thought that Wang Zhonglou would definitely protect this junior brother. Wang Zhonglou indeed thought so and would do the same thing: "Yes, I know about stealing food."
Chu Pingsheng said: "You are the leader of Wudang, and your words and deeds must be responsible for the sect."
At this point, does Wang Zhonglou still have a choice? I can only bite the bullet and say: "Natural."
Xu Fengnian seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his face changed drastically. Just when he was about to persuade Wang Zhonglou to take back what he said, Chu Pingsheng spoke: "In this case, the accusation of Wudang Sect secretly aiding Princess Xichu has been proven. Zhao Fengya, Sun Diaosi You don’t need me to teach you what to do next, right?”
Princess Xichu?
Zhao Fengya and Sun Diaosi's eyes fell on Jiang Ni's face, with various emotions changing from suspicion, shock, joy, and ferocity. Wang Zhonglou had only one thought, hope that it was not true. The imperial court was worried that there was no reason to deal with Wudang, the former leader of the Taoist sect. What he said would undoubtedly cause Wudang to suffer disaster.
"Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding here. Jiang Ni is obviously the prince's maid, how could she be the princess of Chu?"
