Chapter 14 Downhill
At the end of summer in the 16th year of Kangzheng, Dubuchun was blooming all over the mountains and plains of Huashen Villa, and small white flowers climbed all over the walls and yards.
"Why do you think the master has planted so many Dubuchun? Ahhhh!" The second senior sister sneezed, because he was allergic to pollen.
"I think this flower is pretty good. As soon as Dubu spring blooms, autumn will come. A new beginning, the season of harvest." Zhan Lian waved the wooden sword in her hand, triumphantly, and won the second senior sister again in today's sparring.I'm going to ask the master for credit in a while, and I'm able to travel down the mountain after ten years of study.
"What are you proud of? If, if it weren't for... Axie! This damned Dubuchun let me miss, so I wouldn't...Axio! Lost to you!" The second senior sister jumped .
Huashen Villa is famous all over the world for its swords and medicines.All disciples who have studied for ten years can go down the mountain to travel after passing the trial.There are also some descendants of aristocratic families who have devoted themselves to the rivers and lakes to learn art, and some have learned to work for the family, and some have returned to Huashen Villa to continue their practice after traveling.
Zhan Lian is a child of a noble family, and the children of ordinary families will not come back to Huashen Villa to continue practicing, so she only needs to improve her martial arts, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't participate in the trial.
Zhan Lian is too lazy to entangle with the second senior sister. In contrast, she prefers the senior sister. The senior sister is steady, beautiful and dignified, and everyone admires her.She was looking forward to going down the mountain this time, but it was not what she wanted to be separated from her senior sister.
Before arriving at the master's Fangxinzhai, Zhan Lian heard the roar of a familiar man, "What are you doing?" The voice was full of reproach and intolerance. "It's useful to smoke yourself, I already smoked."
Um?smoke yourself?This Fangxinzhai is the place where the master receives guests, the voice is very familiar, like the old ghost of Heishui Palace who laughs ugly every time.Could it be that the master smoked himself?impossible.Zhan Lian secretly found a corner to hide, she wondered how could a master who was cold and calm before the collapse of Mount Tai would smack herself?
"It's all my fault. It's good to find out more clearly at the beginning. Now, I have harmed Chun'er's child." Su Xiyun's voice was full of tears.
Master is crying?Who is Chun'er?
"That can't be blamed on you. The Xiao family is too powerful. It took us five years to find out the cause of Chun'er's death. Now 15 years have passed, and the Xiao family has already taken over the government. This is the end of the matter. Don't worry about the child." Take it to heart." The old ghost comforted.
Five years ago, the old ghost received rumors that Empress Xiao had changed her son. The Xiao family noticed that someone was re-examining the past, and immediately cleaned up the palace people.Afterwards, the old ghost and Huashen Villa spent five years investigating and found out that the child who was transferred back then was actually Li Jinchen.And ten years ago, in order to avenge Empress Xiao, Su Xiyun specially arranged for someone to give Li Jinchen a deadly cold medicine.So much so that the child didn't grow up to be as thin as six years old until he was ten years old.At that time, she was still complacent, but whoever imagined it harmed Chun'er's child.The reason why she let Chun'er enter the palace was because she couldn't give her a child. She visited Chun'er many times secretly and saw how happy Chun'er was when she stroked her swollen belly. It can be seen how much Chun'er was looking forward to the arrival of this child. I am not so impulsive, maybe Chun'er's child is not like this.Now, although Li Jinchen has grown up, the poison has already accumulated in the body and cannot be discharged.
"It turns out that there is also the 'credit' of the elder sister here. That child is so young, but he has to practice such insidious martial arts."
"If it wasn't like that, she wouldn't be able to live today." The old ghost sighed helplessly.
Zhan Lian in the corner thought, the Xiao family is really not a good person, they actually dig a hole for the master, but the master actually poisons people, that is a respected master.What is the reason behind this?And who is Chun'er?Who is Chun'er's child?A series of questions made Zhan Lian confused.
"Little Junior Sister, what are you doing hiding here?" The senior sister saw Zhan Lian hiding in the corner of the wall with her hair tie, and went to call her not knowing what happened.
"Ah? Ah, I, I'm here to find the master."
"Who's outside." Su Xiyun and the old ghost stopped chatting.
"Apprentice, please greet the master, and the old ghost master uncle." The two teachers and sisters rushed in to say hello.
Zhan Lian peeked at the master, her eyes were red as expected.
Su Xiyun wanted to deal with the affairs of the village, the old ghost got up and said goodbye, saying that this matter should be discussed in the long run, and she should not be in a hurry.
"Master, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose just now, but I just heard about the Xiao family. Could it be that the Xiao family has done evil again? The abominable Xiao family is doing evil by holding a large army." Zhan Lian couldn't help asking, she must be worshiping the master. I have never seen the master lose his composure in ten years.
"Hey..." Su Xiyun sighed, "As a teacher, I owed one person back then, so it can be said that she was indirectly killed. I just found out today that the accident also killed her child. Nuoer, you go back first." Excuse me, I have something to say to my teacher and Lian Er."
The elder sister took the order to resign.
"Qing'er, you have been an apprentice on the mountain for ten years, right?" Su Xiyun recalled that Zhan Lian, who came to the mountain to study as a teacher at that time, was still a chubby girl, but now she has grown into a beautiful young girl.It happens to be the age of Ji, which is the age of youth.Zhan Lian is extremely talented and a first-class martial arts genius, but she is still young and acts recklessly.If given time, it can become a great weapon.
"Yes, it will be ten years in half a month." Zhan Lian replied seriously.
"It's ten years, and it's time for you to go down the mountain."
"But, I don't want to leave yet. I don't want to part with my master, and I don't want to part with my senior sister." Zhan Lian scratched her fingers.
"Your elder sister will inherit the sect in the future, and you will inherit the title in the future. Lian'er, there is no banquet in the world that never ends." Many disciples in Su Xiyun's Way of Nature Villa admire Nuo'er, especially Zhan Lian.She didn't want the two lovers to repeat the mistakes she and Chun'er had made, and it would be good to separate earlier.
"But..." Zhan Lian still wanted to explain.
"It just so happened that you went down the mountain, and there is something for you to do as a teacher."
"Master, just tell me." Zhan Lian tensed her body.
"Five years ago, your mother accepted a disciple. Did you know?"
"Of course, my mother said in her letter that she was very talented and liked him very much. It's just that I don't know which family's children can catch my mother's eyes. You must know that the children of the rich families in the imperial capital are mostly dudes. It is also rare to come up with such a wonderful person." figure."
"This person is Li Jinchen, the tenth prince of the Holy Majesty and Empress Xiao."
"The Xiao family?" Zhan Lian couldn't believe it. Her mother had never been in touch with the Xiao family. She asked her when she was young, but her mother kept her secret. Why did she accept the queen's heir as a disciple now?
"When you go back this time, you will be close to the water tower, and help the teacher to watch the ten princes, see how she behaves, behaves, likes and dislikes, and write a family letter to the teacher every ten days." Su Xiyun picked up the brush and wrote. An address, "It is the residence of Huashen Villa in the imperial capital, where we can exchange news. If the ten princes are in danger, you must take care of him."
"Master, I'm afraid that I can't do it alone. Do you want to let the senior sister go with me? Can I have someone to take care of you?" Zhan Lian can't take this job. First, she doesn't want to be separated from the senior sister, and second, she doesn't like the Xiao family. people.
"No, you are the only one who needs to know about this matter. The fewer people who know about it, the better. You should act cautiously and not be reckless." Su Xiyun urged.
"Lian'er, what did the master tell you?" Nuo'er asked Zhanlian with concern, because the ten-year semester is over.
Thinking of her master's instructions, Zhan Lian said, "Master allows me to go down the mountain and go home. I will leave tomorrow." Then she looked at her senior sister intently, and hesitated to speak.This place is different, each has its own life, and it is difficult to interweave.
Nuo'er is very smart, and she also knows what Zhanlian is going to say. The two of them have different identities, and it is better not to say some things.
"Alright, your mother must be very happy. I'll go and prepare some food for you on the road."
"Great, senior sister's craftsmanship is the best." Zhan Lian swept away the gloom on her face, and followed Nuoer bouncingly, "I'll help senior sister."
