"What are you talking about?" Zhuge Chanjuan brought back a lot of medicinal herbs. In addition to the medicinal herbs, there were also some colorful snakes and insects. Most of them were killed by her, and some were alive.
"We are discussing what to do next." Nanfeng said casually.
There were still some broken utensils left in the ruined temple. Zhuge Chanjuan put down the medicinal materials and went over to check the pile of broken earthen jars.
Fatty took the opportunity to wink at Nanfeng, signaling him to find a way to send Zhuge Chanjuan away as soon as possible.
Nanfeng shook his head slowly. He really couldn't think of any reasonable reason to send Zhuge Chanjuan away. The most important thing was that deep down in his heart, he didn't want to send Zhuge Chanjuan away, because no matter whether it was Zhuge Chanjuan or Yuan Anning who was sent away, It is a disguised form of deception.
"Hey, Zhuge, your scorpion has crawled out." The fat man shouted to remind him.
Zhuge Chanjuan turned around when she heard the sound and caught the scorpions back.
After waiting for a while, when there was no response from Nan Feng, the fat man stood up and said, "If nothing happens, I'll leave first. I have to go home first. Where can we meet?"
Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow, we will build the Jinding Temple in the west of Kangcheng."
"Okay, then I have to leave quickly," the fat man turned to look at Changle, "We will go to you for a drink after we finish our business. Where are you staying now?"
"I don't have a fixed place to live," Changle shook his head, "but I may stay in Chang'an for a while."
"Okay, after we finish our work, we will come to Chang'an to find you." The fat man turned and looked at Zhuge Chanjuan, "I want to go back to the Southern Wilderness. Can you go with me for a walk?"
The fat man just had the mentality of giving it a try, and never thought that Zhuge Chanjuan did not refuse immediately, but frowned and considered.
Seeing this, the fat man hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "It's too cold in the north, and the poisonous insects have all gone into hiding. There are a lot of good things in the south."
All the medicines that Zhuge Chanjuan carried were confiscated by Li Chaozong. She was proficient in and relied on Qihuang and poison techniques. Losing the medicines was like a Qi practitioner losing their spiritual energy. She felt uncertain. When she heard the fat man's words, she became more and more excited. , but she and Nanfeng reunited after a long separation, and they really couldn't bear to say goodbye.
Seeing her like this, the fat man said casually, "Okay, you wait here for Nanfeng and Changle. When they finish their business tomorrow, you and Nanfeng can go to Jiankang to meet me."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chanjuan waved her hands, "There is something I want in the wilderness, so I'd better go with you."
"That's it, let's go." The fat man turned around and went ahead.
"I'll go to the wilderness with Fatty to find something." Zhuge Chanjuan said to Nanfeng.
Nan Feng nodded, "Okay, remember to arrive at Jiankang Jinding Temple before the third watch the day after tomorrow."
Zhuge Chanjuan responded casually, raised her hand to Changle, turned around and went out.
The fat man gave Lao Bai to Zhuge Chanjuan to ride on. When Zhuge Chanjuan got on the horse and sat firmly, Lao Bai jumped up and rushed into the sky.
"Are you convinced?" The fat man felt very unhappy.
"Submit." Nanfeng was sincerely convinced. In fact, what really made Zhuge Chanjuan make up his mind to go to Nanhuang with Fatty was Fatty's words, "Wait until they finish their business tomorrow." In fact, they had nothing to do. The reason why Fatty By saying this, she was indirectly telling Zhuge Chanjuan that she would not have a chance to be alone with him these days.
"Remember, if it's my turn to be in trouble in the future, you have to help me smooth things over." The fat man raised his energy and lifted up. He had already advanced to the purple energy. He could fly through the air, throw the hammer, use the force to accelerate, and was faster than the master of Dongyuan. is still high.
Nanfeng and Changle watched off from the front of the temple. When the two of them walked away, Changle withdrew his gaze and said, "We have been apart for three days, so we should look at each other with admiration."
Nanfeng nodded, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. What only improves is cultivation and mental ability, and the temperament will never change."
"Yes," Changle sighed, "I'm leaving too, so please take care of yourself."
"There is something I have always wanted to ask you." Nanfeng said.
"I know you will ask sooner or later," Chang Le looked down at the narrow-edged knife in his hand, "Let me tell you the truth, the doctor did not die unjustly."
Although many years have passed, this answer still chills Nanfeng's heart. But nine out of ten people who are unhappy in life do not get what they want, and what they don't want will not appear.
After silence, Nanfeng asked in a low voice, "Where is eldest sister now?"
"Imperial Palace," Chang Le kept looking at the knife in his hand, "she is now Chu Zhaoyi beside the emperor."
Nanfeng was surprised but not surprised when he heard this. The reason why he was not surprised was because the Imperial Guards who appeared in Li Chaozong's courtyard last night were obviously ordered to come to rescue them. In addition, he and Fatty had returned to Chang'an earlier. In Tutu Temple, footprints were found in the ruined temple. The footprints were concentrated in the southwest corner where Chu Huairou slept. Since the visitor left not long ago, the smell of fragrant powder still lingers in the ruined temple. The fragrant powder is expensive and high-grade, and is used by ordinary women. Sorry.
The collection of these clues made him doubt whether Chu Huairou was in the palace.
The reason why he was surprised was that he did not expect that Chu Huairou would be named Zhaoyi. Zhaoyi was second only to the queen in the harem. She had the same title as the princes and the prime minister, and she was a highly respected minister. Chu Huairou was awarded the title of Zhaoyi. It shows that the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty loved her very much.
I had mixed feelings in my heart, so I didn't say anything to answer the question.
"I'm leaving." Changle started to walk.
"Wait a minute." Nanfeng stopped him, turned around and went back to the house, took out pen and ink and left a note, then turned around and came out, "We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go have a drink."
Changle nodded in agreement, "Okay."
There is a town in the southwest. The two of them went to the town and found a wine shop to eat and drink. They didn't talk and just drank.
In the early years, the two of them drank occasionally from Chang'an, mostly bad wine stolen from the south wind, and there were no vegetables to go with the wine. Now there is wine and vegetables, and they are still the same two people back then, but they can no longer drink the same wine as they did back then. The taste has changed. After seven years, some things have not changed, but some things have still changed.
Changle's drinking capacity was very good, and Nanfeng's drinking capacity was not bad either. A jar of wine weighed five kilograms. They each drank two jars. When they drank the third jar, Nanfeng finally spoke. He knew that there were some things that he shouldn't do. Ask, but you have to ask, because these things may affect the safety of Chang Le and Chu Huairou.
"Why isn't Eldest Sister with you?" Nanfeng asked.
"I was too young at that time and couldn't accommodate others." Changle said casually.
Nanfeng naturally knew what Changle was referring to. Every man could not be generous and tolerant when encountering such a thing, unless the woman did not hold enough weight in his heart.
"I tried hard, but I couldn't get over that hurdle." Changle grabbed the jar and poured wine. After filling it, he drank it all in one gulp.
"The damned one is dead. You killed him with your own hands. To this day, I still clearly remember the scene that night. His head was almost chopped off by you. There was blood all over the floor. The room was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood. ." Nanfeng said.
"Whenever I've been depressed and out of breath over the years, I'll recall that scene, and that's the only scene that can make me feel better," Changle said.
"if… "
"There are no ifs," Changle interrupted Nanfeng, "You also know there are no ifs."
"What if there is?" Nanfeng asked.
"If she had, I might not seek short-term opportunities again." Changle's eyes were hazy and hollow. "She was here to help me cure my illness. I can't beat or blame her, but I still couldn't face it. I just wanted to die. She saved me." also left me that day."
Nanfeng nodded slowly and sighed sadly, "Have you had any contact with her these years?"
Changle shook his head, "She is doing very well now."
"You should know the situation in the Western Wei Dynasty. She looks beautiful, but in fact she stands under a dangerous wall." Nanfeng said, the real power of the Western Wei Dynasty is in the hands of Yuwentai. Yuan Anning's father was poisoned to death by Yuwentai, and the current emperor Yu Wentai is not obedient to his words. If he continues to develop, he is likely to follow in the footsteps of the previous emperor.
"Of course I know, this is also the reason why I practice martial arts so hard," Chang Le poured and drank again, and then said, "Without peerless martial arts, it would be impossible to protect her."
Nanfeng wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "She should know that you haven't gone far."
Changle did not answer Nanfeng's words and poured all the remaining wine in the wine jar into the pottery bowl. He then put down the wine jar and looked at Nanfeng, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Nan Feng did not answer immediately. When the one you love becomes disabled, whether to be generous and tolerant or to let go and give up. Different people have different choices, but no matter which choice it is, it cannot change two unchangeable facts. That is the beloved, but she is disabled. These two facts are like yin and yang, they will always coexist and can never replace each other.
Since Changle asked such a question, he naturally wanted to know the answer. No matter what, he had to give him an answer, and it had to be his true thoughts. To say that he was generous and tolerant and to pretend that it had not happened would be to deceive himself and others. It is impossible for a sober person to do this. To say that it is difficult to let go and therefore to let go is to deceive oneself and others, because one can deceive others but cannot deceive oneself. Deep down in one's heart, one knows very well that even if the other person is disabled, he is still the one he loves.
"My luck is better than yours." Nanfeng finally spoke. This might not be the answer, but it was what he really meant.
After Nanfeng finished speaking, Changle laughed twice, drank up the wine in the pottery bowl, and picked up the long knife placed on the table, "I have to go, do your own thing in peace, don't worry about anything." I, if necessary, will speak to you."
Nan Feng nodded, took off his money bag, took out the money and left it on the table.
Seeing the money bag, Changle reached out and took it.
Nanfeng untied two more and handed them to him, and Changle also took them.
The two of them went out, Changle went northwest back to Chang'an, Nanfeng went northeast back to the ruined temple.
Worried that Yuan Anning would arrive while he was away, he left a note in the ruined temple before leaving. When he came back, the note was still there, but Yuan Anning didn't come.
Because she had drunk too much wine earlier, she was a little drunk now, so she tried to find a place to sleep in the ruined temple, but the snakes and insects Zhuge Chanjuan had caught earlier had already spread everywhere. She opened the straw mat and saw a few snakes. Snake, walked to the corner and found a few scorpions, and finally had no choice but to jump to the roof and lie down there.
Since I hadn't had much rest in the past few days, I took advantage of the drunkenness and slept for a few hours. When I woke up, it was already the third watch, with a bright moon in the sky and stars dotting the sky.
Logically speaking, Yuan Anning should have arrived, but she was nowhere to be seen. Nanfeng didn't think much about it. Yuan Anning had to go to Yingchuan first, then to Yubi, and then from Yubi again. Maybe something delayed her on the way.
I had nothing to do, so I jumped to the ground. Now that I have been promoted to Taixuan, I can take the opportunity to practice various spells that only Taixuan can cast...
