Chapter 24
Chapter 24
The breeze is coming, the sun is slightly drunk.
The carriage swayed for a whole morning, it was noon, and there were gradually more merchants coming and going on the official road.
Wang Shu put down the bamboo curtains, and closed the screen windows on both sides, completely preventing the scrutinizing eyes from outside.Zong Wu seemed to be in a good mood, he lowered his head and played with his fingers, chatting with Wang Shu from time to time.
"Where are we going?" Zong Wu raised his face in confusion.
"Go home." Wang Shu replied with a smile.
As expected by Wang Shu, when Zong Wufu heard the word "go home", his big eyes sparkled and he couldn't stop his joy.
"We still have to go through Youyao Inn, which saves a lot of travel." Wang Shu raised his hand and rubbed Zong Wu's head lightly. Zong Wu squinted his eyes comfortably, and approached Wang Shu's side, slowly moving his cheek Look up and relax your forearms.
"Do you have to go?" Zong Wu hesitated.
"What's the matter? We'll only stay for one night. When we get to the frontier, I'll fly you back in a phantom, instead of taking a carriage." Wang Shuo said in a soothing voice.
Zong Wu let out a "huh" and stopped talking.Wang Shu stretched his arms and took him into his arms, rubbing Zong Wu's arms up and down with his palms.
But... there is one thing that Wang Shu has never thought about.
When Wang Shu lived in Shuixiao Palace in his previous life, Zong Wu had already controlled the overall situation of the world. Judging from his eldest brother who relied on him so much when he was young, Zong Wuhe should have something to say.
However, not only did he not hear Zong Wu talk about his elder brother in his previous life, he even never saw anything related in the entire Water Firmament Palace.Zong Wu also rarely talked about his family and life experience.
It's funny to say, if he hadn't given birth to Xiao Jiao, he might never know Zong Wu's true identity for the rest of his life.
"Is your majesty close to the eldest prince?" Wang Shu asked softly.
Zong Wu said without hesitation: "Naturally, I was brought up by my elder brother. When I was young, the palace people were unwilling to serve me, because following me they could only use the most inferior tribute from the Dragon Palace, and even later it was difficult to feed themselves. My elder brother can't see Go down and look for my father again and again, and because of this, father gradually dislikes him."
After saying that, Zong Wu's smile faded slightly, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into a line.
Wang Shu hurriedly said a few words of relief, and thought: "Then why did the First Prince behave so strangely on Kunlun Mountain before?"
Zong Wu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. After I was taken away by that woman, I didn't know anything. But the eldest brother has gone to the Heavenly Court, there should be gods to help him!"
Wang Shu sighed, thinking that you didn't know that it was Tianting who hurt you the worst in your previous life.But Zong Wu is still young after all, it would be superfluous to talk about some things, so Wang Shu simply stopped talking about it.
Now the main thing is to heal Zongwu's little finger, and I only hope that Chi Zhe will not meet that immortal general on the way back.
Just when Wang Shu's thoughts were in confusion, the carriage stopped suddenly.The horse's front hooves hit the ground and made a rattling sound, as if a little impatient.
Wang Shu raised the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see the horse stopped and snorted, and there was a cliff right in front of the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Zong Wu came up and asked with concern.
"It's okay, we're here, just wait here for the inn to show up."
"This is a cliff." Zong Wu frowned slightly.
"You will know after three quarters of the Youshi." Wang Shu laughed, and winked at Zong Wu with his head turned sideways.
Zong Wu let out a "huh", and sat back in the carriage obediently, occupying only a small space, then raised his hand and patted the empty space on the side, motioning for Wang Shu to sit over.
But Wang Shu didn't go back, instead he jumped out of the carriage and said casually: "Your Majesty, rest first, I'll go to set up a formation, so as not to be disturbed by other monsters."
In the previous life, with Zong Wu around, Wang Shu could walk sideways.But today is different, after Yun Ji's accident, Wang Shu had to be cautious, and Chi Zhe left first, and there was one less person.
But fortunately, after he was reborn, he practiced again with the method of his previous life, and he was quite familiar with formations and the like, so he didn't spend too much effort to set up the defensive formation.
Beside the carriage, Zong Wu poked his head, "We're leaving, what about the carriage?"
"It's okay, it's an old horse, it can find its way back." Wang Shu replied casually, looked around and saw nothing unusual, then got into the carriage and lowered the curtain.
Zong Wu seems to be very dependent on Wang Shu today, but whenever the two sit together, Zong Wu will always quietly put his arms closer, as if only leaning on each other can give him a sense of security.
Seeing it, Wang Shu took the initiative to raise his hand to embrace Zong Wu's whole thin body in his arms. Seeing that it was still early, he began to tell the story in a low voice.
In his previous life, Wang Shu devoted himself to cultivating dragon transformation, except for seclusion and seclusion all day long, he had no time to read any miscellaneous stories. What he is talking about now is what Zongwu told him in his previous life.
He was pregnant at that time, and Zong Wu had to hold him and tell Xiaojiao stories every day before going to sleep. Over time, Wang Shu had been fascinated by a lot of anecdotes from the Three Realms, and now he just told them to Zong Wu listen.
After all, Zong Wu is a child, he was interested in it at first, then he became a little drowsy, and finally fell asleep holding Wang Shu's arm.
Wang Shu helplessly chuckled a few times, carefully laid his body flat, was about to take off his coat and put it on Zong Wu, but suddenly stopped.
Someone broke in.
Wang Shu glanced at the sleeping Zong Wu, and decided to stay still, and gently covered Zong Wu with his outer shirt, then sat back in his original position, with his upper body close to the car window, and gently lifted the bamboo curtain with his fingertips to look out.
Just at this time, there were a few soft noises outside the carriage, and someone tapped the carriage with their fingers.Wang Shu's face tightened, and he turned his palm and called out a long sword.
"Isn't it more comfortable to rest in my inn than in a carriage?"
Wang Shu was startled, the person who came opened the bamboo curtain outside the carriage, and met Wang Shu's eyes.
With a pair of phoenix eyes and a slight smile, it was Yi Xin.
For some reason, Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, turned his hand to put away the sword, and got off the carriage gently. Just as he was about to salute, Yi Xin raised his hand, and immediately lifted Wang Shu's arm up with a force, stopping his movement .
"What do you want to call me?" Yi Xin raised his eyebrows and joked.
Wang Shu coughed lightly, "Brother."
Yi Xin opened his eyes and smiled when he heard the words, and made his already delicate face even more vivid and bright. Yi Xin dressed luxuriously, often wearing rings, jade and jewels, and clothes and headgear. On a human body, Wang Shuding felt that he couldn't bear to look at it, but all of these Yi Xins were pleasing to the eye and the eye, which was a natural luxury.
No wonder it is possible to open such a large inn.Wang Shu said in his heart, he doesn't know who is behind him.
Compared to Wang Shu's preoccupation, Yi Xin is very happy and doesn't care about Wang Shu's estrangement, he goes up to him and hugs him firmly, before Wang Shu can react, he is lingered by a burst of cold fragrance.
Wang Shu was embarrassed and stood there dryly.
Yi Xin hugged for a long time before letting go, and said cheerfully, "You're back so soon? I thought you'd go back straight away."
"Your Majesty is injured, it's better to be on the safe side. I'm planning to stay at the inn for one night, and I'll go back via Yu Cui Mountain tomorrow."
"I heard that an uninvited guest came to Yusheng's full moon banquet over there, causing chaos and killing people. I'm planning to send people out to find out your whereabouts."
Wang Shu smiled and said, "It was indeed a turmoil, but fortunately, the danger was saved. It made you worry."
Yi Xin folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, jokingly said: "Hi, you are my younger brother."
Wang Shu smiled shyly, although he didn't know why Yi Xin was so kind to him, but he accepted it.
Yi Xin had a temper, and only after the initial joy passed did he think about the business, "Fortunately, my subordinates told me that you were nearby, so I found you here, let's go back to the inn first."
Wang Shu glanced at the sky, Yi Xin understood, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I am the owner of the inn, and I can let anyone in if I want, why are you hesitating?"
"Then I'll trouble you, brother." Wang Shu followed the situation, turned around and was about to go back to the carriage to wake up Zong Wu, but Yi Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Wait a minute."
"Where's the magic weapon I gave you?" Yi Xin stepped forward, stopped Wang Shu, and asked Shi Shiran.
Wang Shu thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "I gave it to my friend, he helped us a lot."
Yi Xin pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, he only gave me a copy of the Mother Feather, which is troublesome to refine, and I won't have a second copy for a while. gone."
Wang Shu opened his mouth to speak, but Yi Xin changed his voice, and took out a palm-sized white feather from his cuff. magic weapon!
Yi Xin blew lightly, and the green feather turned into a hosta, the body of the hairpin was crystal clear, and there seemed to be brilliance flowing in it under the sunlight.
"This is the Qingluan feather. Although it is not as good as the phoenix feather that can replace life and death, it is also an excellent choice for healing. This Qingluan feather is a treasure in my Treasure Pavilion. This time I will give it to you. Don't give it to others easily. Already!" Yi Xin put on a serious face, trying to scare Wang Shu.
Wang Shu is also a person who has lived two lifetimes, so he will not be intimidated by Yi Xin, but he doesn't accept it. He shook his head and said, "It's too precious, brother, let's keep it for myself. I'm also burying him."
Seeing that Wang Shu insisted on this, Yi Xin simply raised his hand and inserted the jade hairpin directly into Wang Shu's hair bun, "You just accept it, even if you don't need it, you still have it first, and there will be a chance in the future. Besides, it should have been given to you long ago. "
Wang Shu sighed, and bowed deeply, "Keep your kindness in your heart, and you will definitely repay it in the future."
Yi Xin hummed twice and waved his hands.
Wang Shu returned to the carriage to wake up Zong Wu, and the two followed Yi Xin back to the inn.
Because it's not time yet, apart from a few overnight guests in the inn, the rest are servants gathered in twos and threes to rest and play.
Seeing Yi Xin bring the two of them in, the attendants all saluted respectfully and couldn't help but secretly glance at Wang Shu and Zong Wu.
Wang Shu deliberately covered up Zong Wu, after all, the previous turmoil had not passed long, and now they are fledgling, it is better to be careful.
Yi Xin deliberately found a secluded small courtyard, although Wang Shu said that the two of them only need to stay for one night, in any room, but Yi Xin insisted on this.
inside the room.
Zong Wu sat by the bed, it was getting late outside, Wang Shu wiped his wet hair, casually put on a robe, the belt was loose, revealing most of his white chest.
Zong Wu glanced at it, then lowered his head, turned over and rolled to the inside of the bed, Wang Shu sat by the bed, holding the green feather jade hairpin in his hand, thinking.
Zong Wu whispered: "Wang Shu."
"Ok?"
"You've been looking at that hosta for a long time."
Wang Shu sighed, lifted the quilt and lay down sideways, Zong Wu took advantage of the situation and stood next to Wang Shu, with his small hands lying on his waist and abdomen, his cheeks were slightly red, and he stared closely at Wang Shu's gentle side face.
"Tell me, why does the owner of the inn treat us so well? People in the world can't get up early, so what good are we to him?" Wang Shu rubbed his fingertips lightly on the hairpin, muttering.
Zong Wu closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Because you are very good."
Wang Shu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, so he had to put it aside first, turned around and tucked up the bedding for Zong Wu, then put the jade hairpin aside, extinguished the candle, and embraced Zong Wu to sleep.
The next day.
When Wang Shu left, Yi Xin wanted to give something else, until Wang Shu sternly refused, even saying that he would return the jade hairpin, Yi Xin curled his lips and let the two of them leave empty-handed.
Yu Cui Mountain is not far from Sanxian Lake, Wang Shu directly twisted the phantom, and led Zong Wu to the lake.
As soon as the two stood still, they saw a wooden building suddenly appearing beside the lake. The surrounding four wooden frames were covered with red silk, blowing gently in the wind, creating a festive atmosphere.The wooden frame is also surrounded by flowers, and there is a circle of lotus lanterns by the lake.
When Zong Wu passed the wooden building, he couldn't help turning his head, he was very curious, but his expression didn't show. Seeing this, Wang Shu explained: "There is a New Year's Eve in Taxia City, and it's preparing for the Water God Festival. I thought we wouldn't be able to make it in time. I did, but I didn't expect it to be just right, and the calculation time is about two days after tomorrow."
Zong Wu nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. He immediately stopped and stood where he was.
Wang Shu looked along that gaze, but saw a tall man in commoner clothes and bunts, standing barefoot by the lake, bending over one by one to put down the lotus lanterns. Different lotus lanterns.
Wang Shu looked at it for a while, then suddenly called out, "Brother Chi Zhe?"
Wang Shu's voice is not high, but it is enough for the person in the distance to hear.
The man unloaded the bamboo basket, turned around and saw that it was Chi Zhe.
The corners of Zong Wu's mouth were lightly pursed, and his eyes were shining brightly, obviously the old man was very happy to meet him.
Wang Shu smiled, and walked towards Chi Zhe together with Zong Wu.
Chi Zhe was startled when he saw the two, and then a smile appeared on his face. After the two of Wang Shu approached, he lazily said: "I came back so soon, I thought you would rest and recover before leaving."
"Treatment of fire poison is urgent." Wang Shudan said with a smile, and the two looked at each other, tacit understanding.
"When did the elder brother come back? Did anything happen?" Wang asked in a soothing voice.
Chi Zhe understood, glanced at Zongwu, and said with a smile: "I just arrived yesterday, and I have nothing to do. I happened to meet the Water God Festival in the city, so I volunteered to put up lanterns."
Wang Shu responded, Chi Zhe stopped talking, and looked down at Zong Wu from time to time, with a smile on his mouth.Wang Shu Jianshi said to Zong Wu who was at the side: "Your Majesty, brother Chi Zhe doesn't know your new name yet."
Chi Zhe: "Huh?"
When Zong Wu heard the words, "Mmm", he turned his head to look at Chi Zhe, raised his face, and said word by word: "My other name is Na Liansu, and my name is Na Liansu."
Chi Zhe was shocked, and looked at Wang Shu in disbelief, but Wang Shu smiled slightly. Chi Zhe had a complicated look on his face, he clenched and loosened his five fingers, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Good name."
Zong Wu was praised, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, hiding the joy from the corners of his eyes and brows.
Chi Zhe looked at Zong Wu with a smile, but he looked worried.
"What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Wang Shu asked.
Chi Zhe sighed, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember Bian Yusheng?"
"nature."
"He's dead, and now there is a vacancy for Xiangping Jiang Shuijun, and the whole world is fighting for that place. Unfortunately, this matter involved the prince of Beihai, which attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court, so the Heavenly Court will also intervene in the position of the Shuijun. "
Wang Shu's expression darkened when he heard this, the Dragon Clan has always been in charge of Lord Shui, and now that the court dares to intervene openly, presumably in their eyes, the Dragon Clan has long been ignored.
No wonder Tianting took Chilong away but didn't restore Longchi. Presumably, he didn't plan to introduce Tianting from Longchi again. This was to completely take back the power of the four seas.
"One more thing, Gui Lao told me that there will be an envoy from Beihai in a few days, this envoy will come sooner rather than later, but at this time, I guess the Dragon King intends to transfer...Na Liansu there. "
An envoy from Beihai? !
Zong Wu raised his head abruptly, and looked at Wang Shu in blank dismay, each seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
