Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 579. 578. Bangbang Two Punches (Two in One)

"Don't worry, Daoist Shouchu, the Cui family is not a treacherous person. If you promise to Daoist Priest this matter of dragon fire and tens of thousands of refugees, since I dare to nod, then I will definitely not break my promise. It's just that this matter is big and involves Please allow me to discuss with you, Jingcheng, Hedong, Feng Yi and other aristocratic families. In the next few days, the other children of the Cui family will arrive, and then you can let go of your fists and feet without any restrictions. Please give us some time."

This is the personal promise made by the two old men Cui Ren and Cui Li at the dinner table.

The others didn't talk about anything.

Because the matter is very clear, someone wants to compete with the Cui family for these tens of thousands of refugees.

If it is taken away by the other party, it is inevitable that this pool of dragon fire will have to sell some shares to the other party in order to reach a cooperation.

Regardless of Yang Tong's order, it seems that no matter who gets it, these refugees can go to Yu Qun to pay for their crimes.But the question is... what if these refugees "don't follow"?

In other words, after the Cui family disagreed, this group of refugees became what others called "disobedience".

At that time... Maybe what awaits them is a new siege.

These tens of thousands of people seem to be a lot of people, but in this conspiracy, the combat power may be acceptable, but the attributes are just a delicate flower.

Everyone wants it.

Everyone wants the other not to have it.

But Du Ruhui looked at the Cui family who clearly knew that the Lu family might have done this, but they were not very hostile. In the carriage returning home after the banquet, the first sentence was:

"I don't think the Cui and Lu families will really fight."

Hearing this, after drinking some wine, Li Zhen, who looked a little tired, nodded casually:

"Hmm. What does the monk think?"

"Amitabha, I don't think I can fight."

The monk who hugged his disciple to sleep also shook his head:
"The two families have the same surname Ji, so I won't say that they have been close for thousands of years, but at least in this round, the conflict between the two sides will not be so big that it cannot be reconciled. To put it bluntly, the Lu family started It's just greed that shouldn't be there. The Taoist priest has seen what some local snake gangs in Luoyang will do when they have conflicts over the territory?"

"...You monk, why don't you know these places?"

Li Zhen was speechless.

Xuanzang smiled slightly:
"I don't know where the sufferings of all living beings are, so how dare I speak and do my Buddha's mercy?"

"...You are an eminent monk, you are noble, you are amazing. Is that okay?"

Listening to the wordless joke in the Taoist's mouth, Xuanzang shook his head:

"These local snakes won't really fight, but the two sides will find a place, bring a respected person, sit down and talk. If they agree, then nothing will happen. If they fail to agree, then they will not die On and on. I don't think the Cui family and the Lu family will continue to die, because other aristocratic families will not allow it. Therefore, even if the two sides cannot reach an agreement, someone from other aristocratic families will definitely stand up and forcefully suppress the dispute between the two families. The same principle has been true for hundreds of years. Therefore, the family can only decline by itself, but never die by foreign enemies."

"..."

"..."

Xuanzang's words were the truest voices in the hearts of Du Ruhui and Li Zhen.

Sometimes when three smart people get together, it's actually that scary.

Li Zhen is the most sober, Du Ruhui is the most decisive, and Xuanzang is the most transparent bridge between sobriety and decisiveness.

Therefore, his words are the final answer to this matter.

then……

"Ugh."

Li Zhen sighed...

"So, who really cares about the life and death of these refugees?"

"..."

Xuanzang was speechless.

But Du Ruhui was categorical:
"At least, we care!"

"..."

Li Zhen was also taken aback.

Then he laughed.

Looking at Lao Du's firm appearance, he nodded:
"Yes, we care."

Looking up at the starry sky, the starry sky is twinkling, reflected in the clean and clear eyes that have no regrets.

"Just let us care."

The Taoist smiled and pulled the rein:

"drive!"

Starlight chases chariots and horses.

Light up the way home.

Firm without regret.

……

"came back?"

When they returned to the small courtyard, the three of them saw Sun Simiao and Li Chunfeng.

And the two large pots and stoves that were set up in front of me at some unknown time.

The medicinal juice exuding the aroma of medicine was boiling in the pot, bubbling and bubbling.

"Ah."

Li Zhen responded, and asked with some doubts:
"What is this doing?"

"Prepare some summer heat protection stickers."

Du Ruhui and Xuanzang went to unload things, the little apprentice went back to sleep, Li Zhen stood next to Sun Simiao and asked in bewilderment:
"Then why don't you go to Longhuochi?"

"That pool of dragon fire has not yet been restrained, and it is enough to make great alchemy, but this kind of ordinary medicine is not enough, and it is too exhausting to control. So let's do it here. In the past few days, I will help You prepare a batch of elixir, some for healing and some for strengthening the foundation. Of course, the most important ones are the summer anti-epidemic medicines for the refugees outside. They have all been sent to the warehouse of the Cui family. The elixir for you It's in the big box in the house. Save it, it's rare to find such a generous customer, and I don't know when I will meet again next time."

"...?"

Li Zhen didn't care about Sun Simiao's words that Cui's family was taken advantage of, but asked suspiciously:
"What do you mean?...Old Sun, you want to go?"

"Hmm."

Sun Simiao, whose skin seemed darker under the moonlight, nodded and pointed to Li Chunfeng next to him:
"What we said was to leave when you come back."

"……what?"

Li Zhen stopped joking for a moment, showing a reluctant expression:
"This...why do you have to leave when you are happy?"

"..."

Then Sun Simiao raised his head, looked at Li Chunfeng in front of Li Zhen, and said:

"Nothing is going on here. I was worried about these refugees before, but now that you have brought them back, the next batch will not be far away. There is nothing left and right, so I plan to go to the Qinling Mountains to collect herbs. Oh yes... ... Layman Cui is also with us."

"...What!? You abducted the girl of Huang Hua!?"

"..."

"..."

At this time, even Li Chunfeng couldn't help turning his head, looking at this weathered Taoist, his eyes were full of black water.

Apparently warning him to be careful with his words.

Otherwise, it is easy to be struck by lightning.

Li Zhen didn't care about Li Chunfeng's thunder.

To him, this is Ray?

It's almost like a flower, just listen to it.

Can……

"Little Xia Cui will go with you, and the Cui family agrees?...You want to take her away? Don't you, old grandson, don't be righteous! Brother, I'm still here! You kidnapped her, what should I do? !"

"..."

Sun Simiao was speechless again.

To be honest, when Li Zhen came back, he was very happy.

It's good that Maverick's nose came back safely.

When he left, no one would argue with him, so I really thought about it.

But now as soon as he came back, within a few words, Sun Simiao wanted to call him the sole of his shoe.

Why are you so annoying.

So, instead of talking to Li Zhen, he came to the pot and sniffed the smell, and said to Li Chunfeng:
"It's about time, so you can go back. Go back and pack your bags, and we'll leave tomorrow."

"Yes, brother."

Li Chunfeng didn't have any objections, got up obediently, pinched Li Zhen's seal of ceremony, and went out directly.

And Sun Simiao took out a pot of cloth cut into square pieces, put it in front of himself and Li Zhen, and showed Li Zhen how to apply the plaster and how to put it together with the help of the light, and then pointed at the back of the horse that Li Chunfeng was sitting on just now. , said:
"Take Jushi Cui away, the Cui family has already agreed."

"...Why?"

Li Zhen was puzzled.

And Du Ruhui and Xuanzang, who had packed the horses and luggage, also came over.

Come and help.

The four people gathered around two pots of ointment, and while applying the ointment with bamboo slices, they heard Sun Simiao say:

"Just because this kid is a disciple of the national teacher."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three raised their heads at the same time, not understanding how the old grandson said those words.

And the old grandson didn't hold back, and said directly:
"It doesn't matter if it's just a disciple of the national teacher, but after I told them that this child is practicing thunder, they understood that no matter what, at least Li Chunfeng is a direct disciple of the national teacher. Cui Jushi's side is injured. After recovering almost, there were troubles and sneaking away...Although he was caught and returned. But then something seemed to happen, and the people who originally forced Jushi Cui to marry the Lu family seemed to be silent."

It seems that the old grandson doesn't know what happened.

Li Zhen didn't explain, but nodded:
"and then?"

"Then?... This kid goes to the county magistrate's mansion a few times a day, trying to see Cui's appearance in different ways. Even the Cui family knows about the back kitchen. Anyway, I don't know exactly what happened. The Cui family My attitude toward this kid has changed a bit..."

"Actually, I can understand."

Li Zhen nodded:
"The Cui family is good at marrying, and the Cui family's daughter will naturally not marry an unknown person. This kid Li Chunfeng is a direct disciple of the national teacher, and his status is no worse than that of a family. What's more...he practiced thunder. He is qualified to inherit the Daoist sect. At that time... If it can be done, why won't the leader of the Daoist sect be better than an ordinary family? Not to mention... This pool of dragon fire is still here. Cui's honeymoon period with the Daoist sect, I guess there are still many years left. Let me tell you, monks don’t get married, and monks want to get married. Look at who the little heroine Cui is going to marry! This girl looked straight at the monk that day! Bah! She has eyes but no pearls!”

"..."

"..."

"..."

Listening to the first half of the Taoist's original words, let's say they are still human words.

But why did the taste change in the second half?

Are you boasting that Xuanzang is handsome?Or... are you despising yourself?

Under Xuanzang's dumbfounding eyes, Du Ruhui said:
"That is to say... these two people... seem to be able to become an in-law?"

"Yeah. The man is affectionate, and the concubine is interested. It will happen naturally."

"Then why did Daoist Sun take Li Chunfeng away?"

Old Du became more and more puzzled.

The old grandson shook his head slightly:

"You mean to go back directly and ask the national teacher to decide and take care of the matter of the Taoist couple?"

"Exactly."

"Not yet."

Looking at Du Ruhui's suspicious eyes, the old grandson said:
"I don't care if we get married or not. But... I always want to teach this child to see the real situation of this land. A person who cultivates the Tao has a heavenly heart and obeys the destiny. If you have never walked in this world, take a look After all, that’s nothing more than looking at flowers in a fog. His family is well-off, he has not suffered much since he was a child, and he has never gone far, especially after he was found by the national teacher and accepted as a disciple. Therefore, I first want to let him see the truth To put it bluntly, let him know what a "person" is. Instead of letting him pass on all his knowledge of the world to the illusory theory of immortality of heaven and man from the national teacher."

As soon as these words came out, Du Ruhui immediately understood the meaning.

how……

Sun Daochang doesn't like the attitude of the national teacher's pursuit of immortality?

But Xuanzang and Li Zhen were not surprised.

"That is to say... if the national teacher is teaching Li Chunfeng to practice Taoism, you want to teach him to be a man?"

"Ah."

Sun Simiao nodded calmly:
"That's it...Although I am not as proficient in deduction of hexagrams as Tiangang, I still believe in the induction of heaven and man. From the first time I saw Li Chunfeng, I felt...the road he is walking is very dangerous. Dangerous to others, right He himself is in danger... This feeling has no basis, but I have to believe it. Because I rarely have this feeling, and every time, it will be very accurate. So, for him... and for the fate between Cui Jushi and us , and because of the predestined relationship he called me as a senior brother, I will show him this world out of reason. As for how Jushi Cui communicated with the family and walked with us, I don’t know.”

"This……"

After hearing what he said, what else can Li Zhen say?
There is nothing more to say.

Whatever you decide, do it.

So he asked:

"Then do you need us to help you prepare or do something?"

"No need. The medicines are all prepared for you. If you really want to tell me to do something for me..."

Lord Yao suddenly showed a look of anticipation:
"Then...let's end the chaos in Hedong as soon as possible. How?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three were silent again.

Then, Du Ruhui and Xuanzang looked at Li Zhen at the same time.

And Li Zhen...

He didn't have any open and closed pats of the chest in response.

Just nodded, kept working in his hands, and said calmly:

"it is good."

……

After the plaster is applied, the conversation is over.

Everyone rests.

But Li Zhen, who had entered the cultivation state again, suddenly found that the fish belonging to the second master had returned to the river.

Humph!
You Neptune, after playing with other dogs outside, you know you are going home! ?

So, there was nothing to say all night.

……

Outside the city of Qunhua.

"General Pei's journey back home was safe and sound. Please greet me on behalf of the lower officials and Lord Superintendent."

Following Cui Gan's words, the five hundred riders were ready to go after a night's rest.

"As it should be."

After Lawyer Pei nodded, Du Ruhui stepped forward and bowed:
"Thank you for your escort, General."

"The last general dare not. Then go back and die."

"General, take care."

"Ok!"

Getting back on his horse, Lawyer Pei clasped his fists and saluted, and the whole army moved out.

Five hundred cavalry set off waves of smoke and dust, and set off on their way home.

And when they are sent away...

Cui Gan turned his head to look at his younger sister who was dressed as a chivalrous woman with a face full of excitement, and let out a silent sigh.

And Sun Simiao, who hung the cloth bag on his body again, also stepped on the official road.

"Three people from the poor road have also left. Cui Xiancheng can rest assured that this trip is going to the Qinling Mountains to collect medicine. The terrain in the mountains is familiar, and there will be no mistakes."

"……Um."

Cui Gan nodded:
"Everything is thanks to Daoist Sun..."

With that said, he turned to look at Cui Caiwei:
"Is the silver tael enough?"

"Ok!"

Little Cui, who was carrying a small burden, nodded:

"Twenty pieces of gold leaves, 20 taels of silver and some scattered silver taels, don't worry, brother!"

"..."

Ignoring how much money his sister brought, Cui Gan wanted to say something, but it was hard to say...

In the end, it was Cui Wanrong who was behind her who took a step forward:
"Since you have decided to go out to practice, then follow Daoist Sun's words and don't make decisions on your own. The world is dangerous, and you should plan everything before you do it. Don't be careless, and don't worry me and my brother, understand?"

"Yeah, I see, Second Sister, don't worry!"

Little Cui's urgent mood seemed to be uncontrollable.

Fortunately, she was not dizzy yet, so she turned her head to Li Zhen and Xuanzang and said with a smile:

"Daoist, mage, then shall we have a date later?"

"Amitabha, benefactor Cui, have a good journey."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, while Li Zhen nodded and said with a smile:

"There will be a period later."

"Hey~"

Little Cui Nv Xia looked at Sun Simiao with a smile:

"Master, shall we go?"

"……Um."

Sun Simiao nodded to everyone, then suddenly turned to Li Chunfeng and said:

"But what else is there to say?"

Li Chunfeng nodded, took a step forward, and pinched the ceremony seal:

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, thank you for your care these days. The poor will never forget, this trip will go..."

"Alright, alright."

Li Zhen waved his hand speechlessly as he listened to what he was saying.
"Just don't drag your words. Let's go, just protect the people around you!"

"..."

Li Chunfeng was speechless.

Then Sun Simiao said:

"Let's go."

Finally, he bowed to everyone and stepped forward.

"Let's go~"

With extremely brisk steps, Nv Xia Cui waved to the crowd while leading the horse forward.

No one kept.

It's just that the eyes of the Cui brothers and sisters are full of worry.

……

After the rhubarb appeared out of nowhere, hunched over the old grandson's head, and the two riders and one tiger had completely gone away, Cui Gan turned his head and looked at Du Ruhui:

"Brother Shi, according to calculations, our family members will arrive in three days at the latest. In these few days, Brother Du, please take a rest in Yujiao for a while, and then go to recruit refugees. I ask Brother Du to lead the people of my family." Let’s go together, we can be safe.”

Du Ruhui nodded:

"it is good."

"Well, let's go back then."

"Walk."

A group of people started to walk back.

When approaching the city gate, Li Zhen suddenly said:
"Pindao goes shopping and buys some food. At noon, Cui Xiancheng doesn't need servants to deliver food."

Xuanzang and Du Ruhui knew that Li Zhen had cooking skills, so they naturally thought it was okay.

But Cui Wanrong pursed her lips and asked suddenly:

"Could it be that the Taoist leader thinks the food is not to your liking?"

"what?"

Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands:
"Of course not, I just want to cook today."

"...The Taoist priest can still cook?"

"Well. If you two don't mind, how about coming over at noon to taste the craftsmanship of the poor?"

Now there is no need for Cui Wanrong to speak, Cui Qian, who really wanted to chat with Li Zhen and the three of them, agreed:
"Then my brother and sister will be disrespectful... Why don't we prepare something, the Taoist said bluntly, I will let the servants prepare..."

"No, Pindao will look at it and buy it. Well, that's it, you two, see you at noon."

With that said, Li Zhen left the team and walked towards another street.

……

tea shop.

"Daozhang, can I change a pot of tea for you? It's getting cold."

"Need not."

Shoujing waved his hands, looked at the Taoist who appeared downstairs, and said:
"The people waiting for Pindao have arrived, so go ahead and get busy."

"Hey, okay, what are you ordering?"

"it is good."

The waiter retreated, and soon, Li Zhen pushed open the door of the private room.

"How about finding a private room?"

Sitting by the window, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Then he took a look at the clothes that kept him quiet...

"Although I know you've made money, to be honest, I didn't expect you to be so flamboyant."

At this moment, Taoist Shoujing was wearing a long gown of good fabric, and the bun on his head was not as casual as Li Zhen's, but tied up with a genuine white jade hairpin.

It really looks like jade unparalleled.

Especially the literati aura on her body, which is so strong that it is outrageous.

It seems that Confucian scholars came from somewhere.

And hearing this, Shou Jing smiled and shook his head:
"You are a Taoist, so I definitely want to change my style. A scholar is more suitable for me, right? Besides, if two Taoists who can tell stories suddenly appear in Yu Kui...you can't guarantee that there are Baiqisi people in this city. Master Jiahuqiu knows, she is so smart, if she guesses it, it would be bad."

"Our family..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly:
"Next time you don't have to be polite, just say it's your Lord Huqiu."

"I think it's okay, anyway, I like bad women!"

"..."

Really.

For the first time, Li Zhen discovered... When he was not serious, he was so hideous.

you……

Why are you so cheap?

After Shou Jing made a joke, he asked again:

"How? Isn't that simple?"

Li Zhen knew who he was talking about, and nodded directly:

"It's really not easy. He blocked for me, and I didn't feel any pressure..."

"That's natural. It's based on true martial arts. It's hard to get out, but it's definitely very powerful. It's just... I reckon that if you don't realize the Tao, he won't be able to get out."

"Enlightenment..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen subconsciously drew a trace of golden light on the table with his fingertips.

"I still don't know what enlightenment is."

"It's simple, just ask our mother."

"..."

The two were originally one, and what he knew was what Li Zhen knew.

Therefore, the moment he heard these words, the Taoist was completely speechless:
"That's Master..."

"Be a teacher for a day and be a father for life. Otherwise...you can treat her as a little dragon girl, calling her Gu."

"..."

Li Zhenche was completely speechless. Looking at the Confucian scholar in front of him, he asked very seriously:
"You said...why is my mouth so cheap sometimes!?"

Keep quiet and have fun:
"Hey, sometimes it's not a cheap mouth, people are just like this, so what should I do?"

"..."

The Taoist watched Shoujing.

It's like looking in a mirror.

The self in the mirror smiled brightly and funny.

Normally, Li Zhen would definitely feel... Hey, the young man in the mirror is so handsome.

But now...

He had only one thought on his mind.

Why am I so cheap.

So cheap that I can't wait for Bangbang to give me two punches...

Crack class~
