Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1018 True or False
"Ben Khan?"

Master Jia looked Ashina Zhuxie up and down, and asked in a half-doubted tone: "Are you - Ashina Tong? ... No, he is not that big."

When he heard Ashina Tong's name, Ashina Zhuxie's eyes showed a bit of sharp coldness, but he said calmly: "Do you think I am the yellow-haired boy who can only hide under a woman's skirt?"

Hearing this, Master Jia immediately understood something, but still looked at him in confusion: "Ashina Shali is not as young as you."

Ashina Zhuye's eyes became sharper: "Father Khan has passed away."

Master Jia widened his eyes slightly.

After a while, he sighed and said, "So that's how it is."

Ashina Zhuxie stared at him intently, and was about to say something, when Master Jia suddenly said, "If you want to come in, come in, if you don't mind that my thatched cottage is too simple and can't accommodate you."

After saying that, he actually let go of my hand and turned back to the house.

His sudden change of attitude also surprised Ashina Zhuye a little. Moreover, from the tone of this Master Jia just now, it seemed that he was familiar with the people and situations of the Eastern and Western Turks, but knew nothing about the change of royal power in the Western Turks. This was very strange. Moreover, he already knew Ashina Zhuye's identity as the Khan of the Western Turks, but he was neither interested in nor afraid of this big man. He only allowed him to enter the house in a lukewarm manner. This was also very unusual.

But being able to stay and enter this house was still a good thing for Ashina Zhuye. It was just that he couldn't let everyone in, and this house couldn't accommodate them all. So he just winked at Wang Shaoqiu, then turned around and gave orders. The well-trained Turkic soldiers outside immediately set up camp on the top of the mountain. Seeing this, the other guards accompanying Shang Ruyi also knew that they could not leave tonight, so they all set up their own places to stay.

Ashina Zhuxie and Wang Shaoqiu walked into the room together.

The house was not big to begin with, and was spacious enough for a practitioner who had no desires or ambitions. However, several people had just come in one after another, making the house a little crowded. And when these two tall men came in, the house seemed even more cramped.

Wang Shaoqiu frowned immediately because the strong smell of agarwood in the air hit his nose. He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the tip of his nose, then looked around the house carefully.

Ashina Zhuxie did not say or do anything immediately. Instead, he stood in the main room and looked around quietly. He also glanced at Shang Ruyi who was lying unconscious on the bed. Then, he said to Master Jia who had returned to the east room and knelt on the mat to continue chanting and practicing, "What's your name?"

Mr. Jia ignored him, just lowered his head, picked up the wooden fish, and started tapping it gently.

Lei Yu said: "This young man's surname is Jia."

"Jia?"

Hearing this surname, Ashina Zhuxie didn't react. Wang Shaoqiu on the side took his eyes away from Shang Ruyi on the bed and Lu Xiao beside the bed, glanced at Mr. Jia, and said with a smile: "It's fake or real, it's still Jia."

Ashina Zhuye seemed to have just understood something, and looked intently at Master Jia, who had closed his eyes and began to recite scriptures in a familiar manner.

But now, no one paid attention to these words, and no one paid attention to them.

Wang Shaoqiu was fine, but Ashina Zhuye could not stand being looked down upon like that. He walked towards the east room, looked at the bare walls, and then looked at the shrine that he was not familiar with. It was covered with a layer of black cloth, and he didn't know what deity was enshrined there.

Of course, he doesn't care either.

After seeing everything clearly, Ashina Zhuxie asked, "Do you know Zuo Chen'an?"

There were a total of seven people standing and huddled in the room at the moment. Everyone had various thoughts in their minds and their breathing was disordered, but at this moment when they heard him directly say Zuo Chenan's name, everyone's breathing stopped.

There was only the sound of the wooden fish, ringing slowly and steadily.

Ashina Zhuye walked over step by step until he was behind Master Jia, but he was still beating the wooden fish calmly, as if he had not heard anything. Ashina Zhuye continued, "I heard that he set up his own tombs in several places in the Central Plains, but only one of them was real."

"..." "And this place seems to be at Tianding Mountain."

"..."

"You must have been here for many years. Do you know where he is buried?"

Master Jia was still beating the wooden fish, and he said slowly in a low voice: "The person has been buried in peace, why bother to disturb him?"

"It seems that you know."

"I do not know."

"Then why don't you let us disturb him? What is your relationship with him?"

“Just famous.”

"Is that all?"

Master Jia paused for a moment while beating the wooden fish, turned his head to look at him, and said calmly, "If you don't believe it, don't ask."

His voice was still a little hoarse, but it was no longer the kind of hoarseness that came from deliberately lowering the tone. Instead, it was like he had not spoken for a long time, and suddenly his throat could not adapt to the hoarseness after saying so many words. He even coughed twice after he finished speaking, but these two short sentences seemed to contain an unspeakable sense of oppression.

Ashina Zhuye looked at the eyes hidden in the thick beard and became quiet.

On the other side, Wang Shaoqiu came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Since he entered the room, except for saying that hurtful word, he has been silently looking around, as if looking for something, but never found it. At this time, he whispered a few words to Ashina Zhuxie, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Wang Shaoqiu asked, "Does Mr. Jia's hospitality stop at this?"

That Master Jia said, "You are not my guests."

"..."

"This room is so small. Please make yourselves at ease when you come in. I don't have the leisure to entertain you."

Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. In fact, everyone knew from the moment they walked into this simple house that this was not a place to have a good rest. They stood for a long time and only found a place to sit down after hearing these words.

Ashina Zhuxie even took Lei Yu's sleeve and led her to the end of the bed, asked her to sit there, and then said, "You sleep peacefully, I'm here."

"..."

Lei Yu lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, just nodded slightly.

Master Jia was still kneeling in front of the mat, beating his wooden fish.

The sound of the wooden fish, the monotonous and lonely sound, was particularly sleep-inducing in such a quiet night. After a while, Lei Yu's eyelids began to droop, and in a daze, she listened to the breathing of everyone, and finally fell asleep slowly.

The night passed in such an eerie calm.

After an unknown amount of time, a sharp pain came from his stiff neck. Lei Yu opened his eyes hazily and was immediately startled.

"what are you doing!?"
