Chapter 125: Difficult task
The moonlight is bright and clear.
There were bursts of frog sounds.
The light of the lantern was dim, the night breeze entered the window, and the light swayed. Li Chenan listened to the frogs and looked at the shadowy vegetation outside the window, and his heart was filled with tranquility.
There is a faint zhenqi flowing slowly in the body.
Just like a gurgling stream, although its power is weak, it flows continuously.
The master said that it will continue to grow on its own, but due to the limitation of only learning those four movements,... it can still only be a small stream.
I put the little yellow book on the table and flipped it left and right. The pictures were still clear, but I still couldn't understand how to practice the fifth movement.
So, he put away the little yellow book and simply came to the yard.
Looking up at the moon, I naturally thought of Zhongli Ruoshui who was far away in Kyoto.
Did she receive the letter?
I'm afraid she has also heard about the fact that she has become the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society.
How would she feel about this?
Li Chenan was suddenly startled and realized that he really cared about Zhongli Ruoshui, otherwise, how would he care about her opinion.
Suddenly he smiled, thinking that if Zhongli Ruoshui had any objections to this, he would have already sent a letter to let him know.
After walking a few steps in the courtyard, I thought about the troubles I might face if I go to Kyoto. I feel that I have no clue about this matter for the time being, because my current identity is very contradictory, so I can't judge who will be harmful to me.
Judging from the master's analysis, she may really be a pawn in the hands of some nobles in Kyoto, such as Mrs. Fan, Prime Minister Ji, or the fourth princess Ning Chuchu who is in charge of Lijing Division.
These are the real big shots in Ningguo, and they can strangle themselves to death like an ant.
Among them, Prime Minister Ji, who gave himself the identity of the leader of the Fish and Dragon Society, is the most dangerous.
Huang Sanlie believed that Prime Minister Ji's move was to test Zhongli's intentions. If the relationship between himself and Zhongli Ruoshui was announced, it would give the world a wrong signal——
They will think that Zhongli Mansion is on the side of the second prince represented by Prime Minister Ji!
Otherwise, how could the uncle of Zhongli Mansion be the first leader of the Fish and Dragon Society?
Then the Prince's family will inevitably regard themselves as enemies.
They will not anger the Zhongli Mansion, but they can definitely remove themselves before they get married to Zhongli Ruoshui and before the title of Zhongli Mansion's uncle is confirmed!
The Crown Prince's family would not be so stupid. If they kill themselves, they will not leave any excuse for the Zhongli Mansion. I think the Zhongli Mansion will not turn against His Highness the Crown Prince because of himself, a little person in Guangling City.
Li Chenan laughed at himself and murmured: "I just want to live happily in Guangling City for the rest of my life... Don't mess with me!"
A voice suddenly came from the moonlight a little far away: "You didn't go to bed in the middle of the night. Who provoked you?"
That was Xiao Shisanniang's voice.
She was walking from a field in the distance carrying a hoe.
She stood in front of Li Chenan and looked up at Li Chenan, with the moonlight shining on her face: "Tell me, who provoked you? I'm going to kill him!"
"What are you doing this late at night?"
"Oh, the leeks I planted a few days ago are ready for harvesting."
Xiao Shisanniang turned to look at it and said: "The shepherd's purse is also ripe, but the okra is not growing well. I just went to water it."
"...Is this how you lived in Wanxi Zhai?"
Xiao Shisanniang nodded, "Yes, apart from the martial arts training every day, the master takes us to farm."
"Of course there is no need to farm at night. We like to sit in front of the house and listen to the master playing the piano at night."
Xiao Shisanniang's eyes sparkled, "Master will sit on the piano platform, which is halfway up the mountain behind Wanxi Zhai, and play the piano."
"I can tell you, the master plays the piano very well! Every time he plays, the birds in Wanxi Zhai will dance with him, and even gather on the pine trees on the piano platform!"
Li Chen'an was startled. Of course he didn't believe it, because birds return to their nests at night. Unless they are frightened, they will not leave the nest at all.
Therefore, the story of a hundred birds coming to court in one song is unscientific.
"You haven't told me your master's name yet."
Xiao Shisanniang suddenly became alert. She carried the hoe and went to her room, "I can't tell you this. What if you try to take advantage of my master?"
Li Chenan touched his nose awkwardly,
"Hey, it's been a month since the letter was sent out. When will your fellow seniors and sisters come over?"
"It should be in September."
"But now that you have the identity of the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society, you need to write another letter to the master to explain, otherwise I'm worried that those senior sisters will... kill you when they come!"
"...Then you come back!"
"It's late at night, and the master said that lonely men and widows should avoid being under the same light. Let's try another day."
"..."
Really needs some explanation.
September is not too far away.
It’s just that I’m not sure whether I can return to Guangling City in September.
I have to leave this matter to Xiao Shisanniang.
…
…
Early the next morning, Li Chenan wrote another letter under Xiao Shisanniang's dictation. Xiao Shisanniang still drew a dog's tail grass at the end of the letter, but Li Chenan was a little confused, so he asked:
"If they are already on the way, how can this letter be sent?"
"It doesn't matter, master has a bird."
"After the master receives the letter, if the senior sisters have left, she will use the bird to pass the letter to them."
"……Pigeon?"
"No, it's a sea turtle."
After looking at Li Chenan, Xiao Shisanniang added: "Master is from Yue country and is good at raising birds."
Yue girl... Li Chenan laughed, making Xiao Shisanniang confused.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious about your master."
Xiao Shisanniang rolled her eyes at Li Chenan, "You are not worthy of my master!"
Li Chenan felt like a knife was stabbed in his chest. He stood up and put the letter in his arms, "I remember you said that your master is twenty years old?"
"Yes, it's not that Master can't get married, she just has a stoic heart."
"Oh, I'm seventeen, and a female college junior is holding gold bricks. That's great!"
After saying this, Li Chenan turned around and walked out, not realizing that Xiao Shisanniang was looking at his back and smiling secretly.
I got on the carriage and came all the way to Zhuoyu Xiaozhu.
Ye Po was standing at the door of Zhuoyu Xiaozhu, with a very serious expression on his knife-like face.
Seeing Li Chenan get off the carriage, he walked forward, stood beside Li Chenan, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, "Look at this."
"What?"
"The mission given to you by the chief helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society!"
Li Chenan was startled. He took the envelope and opened it. He took out the letter paper and unfolded it. His eyebrows suddenly furrowed:
"The Fish-Dragon Order:
Li Chenan, the helmsman of the Guangling sub-rudder, carried out the order from the headquarters:
When Liu Zuo left Guangling City and went to Shuzhou to take up his post, kill him without exposing him or making any mistakes!"
There is a small bright red seal stamped underneath, which is a lifelike red carp.
