Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 141 Dahui Temple Straight to the Point

Su Jun's expression froze, and he was silent for a moment, then cast a quiet glance at her and sighed: "Your Majesty, Xia Zhongshu, he is actually my father's senior brother, that is, my senior uncle."

"What did you say?" Gu Qinghua was taken aback immediately, and then stared at Su Jun with wide eyes: "It's fun to lie to me, isn't it?" Her tone also cooled down instantly.

Su Jun smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of hiding anything from you! Between my father and this uncle, there used to be a lot of grievances and grievances that have not been resolved until now. I don’t know. Before I came to Beijing, my father gave me something. My father said that if you encounter any troubles, you can take this thing and try to ask the uncle for help, but he is not sure whether it will be useful! So I have been I didn't take it to heart, I didn't think of it until the day you told Prince Li about your uncle, I thought it would be okay to try it, so I purposely put it on my waist when I went out today. "Su Jun said as he untied a small piece of wood about seven inches wide and two and a half fingers wide from his waist and handed it to Gu Qinghua.

Gu Qinghua took over the wood chip, which was made of ebony wood, with smooth lines of mountains, rivers and bright moon patterns carved on it, with large and thin round holes pierced with purple nets, and a small blue jade dotted on the other end connecting the wood chips. colored beads.

"He, didn't he say he wanted to see you just because he saw this thing?" Gu Qinghua's face softened a little, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned the wooden sign over and over several times, and said, "It seems, it's nothing. special!"

If, if Su Jun kept something from her, she really didn't know how she should treat him.

Su Jun said: "That's right, I don't see anything special about it. I also asked my father about this matter, but my father seemed to have something to hide and refused to say it clearly, so my husband can't ask again!"

Gu Qinghua pondered for a while, and said: "That's all! Since he recognized you with this thing, then I can't hide my identity from him nine out of ten! Since he made an appointment with you tomorrow, what are you going to do?"

Su Jun glanced at her, and said: "My husband thinks, it's better to go see him." Before Gu Qinghua could speak, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can go alone, don't worry, what should I say? Proper."

Gu Qinghua was funny, rolled his eyes at him and said: "Are you afraid that I will follow? I don't think so! This trip today is not enough, and I don't want to make any more trouble!" After a while, the formation arranged by the guards made her feel exhausted. Going out again, let alone they are exhausted, even she herself is not willing to bear the heavy psychological pressure.

Only then did Su Jun heave a sigh of relief, and smiled embarrassedly.

That night Su Jun rested in Zichen Palace, and the next day, seeing the time was about the same, he still changed into ordinary scholar's clothes, slipped out of the palace quietly, and headed towards Dahui Temple.

When Su Jun arrived at the Arhat Hall of Dahui Temple, he walked around in the hall several times to pay his respects to the holy face of the Arhat, but he still didn't see Xia Zhongshu.

While Zheng Nahan was pondering, a young monk came from nowhere, put his hands together and said to him: "Amitabha, is the donor's surname Xia?"

Su Jun nodded, and replied seriously: "I am right. May I ask this master——"

The young monk unhurriedly took out a letter from his wide black sleeve and handed it to Su Jun: "Su benefactor, this is a benefactor named Xia who asked the young monk to forward it to the benefactor."

"Thank you, Master." Su Jun returned the gift, took the letter, and felt a stone in his heart drop to the ground.

Xia Zhongshu asked him to meet at the top of the mountain behind Dahui Temple.

Su Jun had no choice but to go to the back mountain again.

This time, he didn’t lose his mind, and before he reached the top, he saw a strong figure in a navy blue cloak standing upright like a pine on a small flat space on the top of the mountain, looking at the distance in a daze, the wind blowing him His cloak was billowing, and he looked a bit heroic.

Su Jun didn't dare to neglect, went up to the top of the mountain, took a few steps forward, respectfully bowed to Xia Zhongshu's back, and said, "Hi, Master! Disciple Su Jun has met Master."

Xia Zhongshu looked back at him, moved his feet, and subconsciously turned his body to the side, avoiding Su Jun's gift, his eyes were shining brightly, he sized Su Jun up and down a few times, half mocking, half mocking, and finally She raised her thick eyebrows and said, "It's as worthless as your father! No, it's worse than your father!"

Although there was no one else around except the two of them, Su Jun still felt embarrassed and embarrassed. Although he was usually calm and composed, he was a little dumbfounded at this time.

Xia Zhongshu's eyes, demeanor, words, and tone were all too straightforward and natural, and he said it plainly, in the same tone as saying "today's weather is good", which made people refute and didn't know how to refute it.

Su Jun had no choice but to remain silent, and looked indifferently at the shades of green and the undulating trees ahead, pretending not to hear Xia Zhongshu's words.

Xia Zhongshu didn't care about his attitude either, he walked aside carelessly, leaned on a boulder, folded his hands in front of his chest, crossed his feet, looking tired, raised his head and said to Su Jun with a half-smile: " Tell me, what do you need from me yesterday?" He was smart enough not to ask who was with him, and if Gu Qinghua's identity was revealed at this time, it would be difficult for him to speak casually.

Su Jun laughed, and there was a smile in his black jade-like eyes: "My nephew is also a little puzzled, why did the master take the initiative to invite my nephew out to meet?"

Xia Zhongshu snorted lightly, glanced at him and said: "I've already been pushed to this point, I can hide from the first day but not the fifteenth, this side is always to be seen! It's just that I don't like it very much. Talk to people from that family—anyway, it’s the same if you have any contact with you. You are really—huh!” After speaking, he glanced at Su Jun with a half-smile, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Gu Qinghua's words from last night flashed unconsciously in Xia Zhongshu's mind: "It's okay! Wouldn't it be nice to come here a few more times in the future? Come to think of it, the first time Master Xia comes here, he won't be like a fish in water, right?" She made it clear, don't bother Seeing that he was unwilling to give up, there was no place for him to hide under the feet of the Son of Heaven, otherwise, why would he have made an appointment with Su Jun quietly?
Su Jun couldn't help wondering secretly.He didn't understand why Xia Zhongshu hated people from the Gu family so much, as if everyone in the Gu family owed him!He only knew that his father should owe Xia Zhongshu - the few times he mentioned Xia Zhongshu, his tone was full of guilt.

Su Jun couldn't figure out the cause and effect of this for a moment, so after thinking about it, he cut straight to the point.He raised his head, looked directly at Xia Zhongshu with both eyes, and said calmly: "She needs the help of the uncle. The uncle should be clear about the situation in the court."

Xia Zhongshu raised his eyebrows, "Oh?", and said lazily with some teasing: "So she took a fancy to the [-] soldiers and horses in my hand? Let her rest assured, I just don't help each other! "

Tacitly, Xia Zhongshu understood what Gu Qinghua wanted to do as soon as Su Jun mentioned it, and naturally compared the strength of the Yulin Army with the strength of the Ruijian Camp in the northern and southern suburbs of the capital.

"Master's meaning—" Su Jun's heart sank slightly.

"I don't want to help each other," Xia Zhongshu Xin pulled out a thatch core and bit it in his mouth, looked up at the white clouds passing by in the sky above his head, and said bluntly: "I won't get involved in that family's trip In muddy water, neither side can help each other, this is the limit! Of course, you can tell her that she can dismiss me at any time!"

Su Jun thought for a while, and said: "Master, can you be sure that you can control every soldier in the Nine City Army?"

Xia Zhongshu sneered: "Of course!" What is this called?Nine City Bing Ma Si is the soldier he has led for more than ten years, up and down, which corner is not his confidant?If he doesn't nod, Gu Qinghua will dismiss him and take Ninetowns Bingmasi back. No matter who takes over, he has the ability to turn people into a puppet who can't tell the pain in the future!
"Okay!" Su Jun nodded briskly, and said, "As long as the master can control the soldiers and horses of Nine City, she has nothing to worry about."

Xia Zhongshu stared at him for four or five sentences, and then said: "How long will she have to do it? Tell her to hurry up, I don't want to stay here any longer!"

Su Jun remained calm, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by Master?"

Xia Zhongshu said calmly: "What? Didn't your father tell you? After helping that family, I don't owe your father anything, so what am I still doing in this poor place!"

Xia Zhongshu couldn't help but gritted his teeth as he spoke, it can be seen that thinking of the past, he felt very unwilling.

Su Jun smiled, and said leisurely: "As a junior, how can I inquire about my father's affairs? Besides, my nephew doesn't dare to listen to the grievances between you and father. Since the uncle agreed to my nephew and waited patiently That's it!"

Xia Zhongshu suddenly became a little irritable, and said with a sneer: "No wonder, your father set a trap for me back then, forcing me to agree to stay in Zhaifeng City to protect that person. explain!"

Su Jun's heart was faintly torn open, but his face showed complete disbelief, he shook his head and smiled very politely: "Master and father must have some misunderstanding, right? My father has no reason to do this!"

"It doesn't make sense!" Xia Zhongshu was furious, almost jumping up and staring at Su Jun angrily, "Why is it making no sense? Your father was sent by the female emperor to never return to court, and yet he still pretended to be a lover. , tricked me into staying in Zhai Fengcheng! Hmph, I advised him not to provoke the empress at the beginning, but he refused to listen. After provoking her, he married your mother again. The empress deserves what she did to him! I didn’t take his item The head count is good!"

Hearing Xia Zhongshu mention his dead mother, Su Jun felt sad, but he didn't know whether he felt more for his mother or more for his father.He still had an expression of disbelief on his face, and said lightly: "Father said that these are all rumors—and, uncle, you don't seem to do your best to protect the late emperor, right? Otherwise, how could the late emperor pass away so early? How could Prince Mu?" A big family?"
