Chapter 348 Good Days
Li Chuan looked at Chang Rimu's appearance again. He had a thick face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes. He looked like he was in his early forties.
Then he noticed Zou Jingping's appearance. He was much thinner than the last time he saw him, and his face was frosty.
Chang Rimu seemed very happy to see them. As he led them in, he said, "I haven't had guests at home for a long time. Please forgive me if I didn't entertain you well."
< br>After entering the door, Li Chuan felt a sense of luxury rushing towards his face. Carved railings, jade inlays, exotic flowers and plants, and all kinds of exquisite objects were all piled there, and I felt that my whole body was wrapped in wealth.
After Li Chuan roughly estimated the prices of several items of furnishings, he gave up the calculation.
Wen Guying was also a little surprised when he saw the situation in the general's mansion.
Neither of them said anything, and followed Chang Rimu through the corridor and into a two-story building. The interior is very elegantly decorated, but the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and the books on the bookshelves all have extraordinary origins.
It is estimated that when Chang Xiao came back to visit him in Sanyi Hutong for the first time, he took the ancient calligraphy and painting books from here.
After Chang Rimu asked them to sit down, and after the servants served tea, he said: "Quanzi told me what happened in Xiushan County and Wochi. I should have come to say thank you. It’s just that the situation in Beijing is complicated at this time and there are too many rumors. I’m afraid it will bring you trouble.”
Li Chuan said: "Without Mr. Chang to show us the way, it would not have been so smooth."
Then Chang Rimu looked at Wen Guying and asked: "Daoist Wen, do you know Taoist Qian Xinnong?" He is also a monk from the Four Gods Palace."
Wen Guying asked: "Junior Brother Qian, do you recognize him?"
Chang Rimu said, "It was almost forty years ago, Your Majesty. After ordering the killing of the python in Yanzi River, he took the initiative to find me, informed me of the python's weakness, and even saved my life. "Is he okay now?"
"He has passed away." It should be said.
Chang Rimu was shocked and said: "How could it be? How did he die?"
Wen Guying said: "He left the Four Gods Palace twenty or thirty years ago and went to another sect. And he passed away when that sect was in turmoil."
When Li Chuan heard this description, he thought of Shuangye Sect.
Chang Rimu was lost for a long time before he spoke again and said, "How could it be? We also made an appointment to cultivate immortality with him after I have settled my secular relationship..."
Wen Guying said: "Junior Brother Qian will be very happy if he knows that there are still people who remember him."
After chatting for a while, they finally got to the point. Chang Rimu said: "After you came to see me last time, I asked Mr. Zou to go to Yashan County and didn't come back until half a month ago."
Maybe it was because I was afraid that Li Chuan and Li Chuan would go to Yashan County. Wen Guying misunderstood, and he explained: "Although Mr. Zou has no official position, everyone under me obeys him."
Wen Guying asked: "Did you find anything?"
"Mr. Zou, tell me." Chang Rimu said to Zou Jingping.
"Okay." Zou Jingping sat upright and said, "I have indeed found a lot of unusual places in the past few months. I just don't know whether this information is useful or whether some of the guesses are correct. I dare to make judgments. So I will tell you everything I have learned along the way. If I am too long-winded or say too many useless things, please forgive me, Mr. Li and Daoist Wen.”
Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zou is being humble. You have been busy for so many months just for a word from us. It's really... hard."
Wen Guying also said: "This matter involves the gods and demons. Even Xuanmen monks are not sure of finding out anything. If you think it is worth talking about, you might be able to find the truth. "
Zou Rimu said. Sir, Mr. Li and Taoist Wen are both our own people, just say so.”
So Zou Jingping began his narrative. La said: "After I arrived in Yashan County, I did not go directly to the military camp. Instead, I pretended to be a doctor. Starting from Longquan County, I treated patients all the way to Qingtan County. Prince Su's residence is in Qingtan County." Listening to Zou Jingping's narration, Li Chuan somehow thought of Lao and laughed.
Zou Jingping said: "Prince Su was under house arrest in the palace in the winter of the year before last. When I went to Heyuan Town to suppress the demons, it was already the autumn of the second year. So by the time I arrived in Yashan County, Prince Su was already close to One year, no longer in the fiefdom.”
“But I walked all the way and found that Yashan County was still relatively stable. I thought that if I wanted to find the relics of gods and demons, I would just ask the local officials, Prince Su’s Mansion. It’s probably hard to find clues for the people on the scene. After the demons were suppressed in Heyuan, all the key people and objects were probably taken away, and the remaining ones were either unaware or willing to use their lives to hide these secrets.”
"So, when I walked along this way, I often went to places where there were rumors of monsters or other abnormalities. I did encounter a few little monsters, but they were all near misses and I didn't get much information. All the time. When I was approaching Qingtan County, I stayed at a hunter's house in a barren mountain and heard something..."
Zou Jingping suddenly stopped.
Just as Li Chuan was about to speak, he saw Chang Rimu stand up and walk out the door. There was a man dressed as a steward standing outside the door.
After Chang Rimu whispered a few words to the steward, he came back. He apologized to Li Chuan and Wen Guying and said, "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace. I don't know what it was about."
Li Chuan said : "General Chang, go quickly."
Chang Rimu nodded, he told Chang Xiao a few words, asking him to entertain them well, and then said to Li Chuan and Wen Guying: "I'll go back quickly, dinner I will definitely come back before now. We treat this place as our own home, and everything is free."
Then he walked out again and quickly disappeared between the stairs.
After the room was quiet for a while, Chang Xiao said: "Uncle Zou, let's continue talking."
"Okay." Zou Jingping spoke again. He said, "The hunter knew that I was a doctor from out of town, so he asked me if I knew how to cure apathy. I asked him who the patient was and what his symptoms were. After saying a few words, I asked him to take me to see the patient, but he hesitated."
After hearing the word "lost soul", Li Chuan and Wen Gu looked at each other, and Chang Xiao's expression changed. Get serious.
Zou Jingping continued: "I knew there was something fishy, so I didn't ask any more questions at that time, but told me a few methods..."
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, Then, several sharp female voices came in, and the words "rebel" and "get out of the way" were vaguely heard.
The expressions of Chang Xiao and Zou Jingping changed. When Chang Xiao was about to stand up, Zou Jingping stood up first and said, "Master, let me go."
Chang Xiao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
After Zou Jingping walked out, Chang Xiao explained: "Aunt Jiu made trouble again. During this time, Uncle Zou was not at home, so things at home , she has the final say in everything, and now Uncle Zou is back... She probably thought her father was here, so..."
Li Chuan didn't want to get involved in Chang Xiao's family affairs, so he said, "There's no rush, just in time..." ...There are many books here, and many of them seem to be unique ones, so you can just read them."
Chang Xiao said: "Which one Mr. Li likes, just take it back."
"No, I will. ...I just took a look..." Li Chuan said.
The three of Li Chuan chatted for a while and admired the general's collection. The noise outside stopped, but Zou Jingping never came back.
After drinking another round of tea, Chang Xiao couldn't sit still anymore. He said, "I'm going to check on the situation. Mr. Li, Taoist Master Wen, please wait for me."
"Go." Li Chuan said.
After Chang Xiao's figure disappeared from sight, Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying and said, "Master Wen, did you calculate this day correctly?"
