What's the point of walking with a man?
Huyan Ruijin stopped by Hong Zhong's side, looked down at her condescendingly, and in the end, reached out and scooped her up. After a light leap, she brought Hong Zhong to a secluded courtyard.
Huyan Ruijin's gaze darkened, she did not expect Hong Zhong to admit it so readily, but thinking back, he was also very frank about it. It seems that this woman's character, was somewhat similar to her own, and she sneered: "Small trick, simply cannot enter this king's eyes."
These words were undoubtedly mocking Hong Zhong for not causing the slightest amount of harm to him, as she was not worthy in her eyes to begin with.
"My goal is to take revenge on you for hacking me and not to kill you. It is sufficient as long as it is insignificant." Hong Zhong patted the dust off his bottom and slowly spoke: "Also, I want to tell you, I didn't kill the Master of Pure Wisdom. If you cut me because you wanted to kill my father, then you found the wrong person!"
"If it wasn't you, who else would it be?" Huyan Ruijin obviously did not believe Hong Zhong's words. If he was not mistaken, before this woman came to the National Temple, she did not have any internal energy. However, the day after Royal Father died, he could see that this woman's movements were steady and steady.
Hong Zhong helplessly looked at him, "Have you heard of Spiritual Master Xuan Ji?"
"Hmph, you aren't going to tell me that it was Spiritual Master Xuan Ji who killed this king's father, right?" In Huyan Ruijin's heart, these words were undoubtedly a fantasy. Spiritual Master Xuan Ji was his own master and also royal father's senior brother. How could he possibly kill his father?
Hong Zhong naturally did not know about the relationship between and Spiritual Master Xuan Ji. "In short, what I said was the truth.
"Hmph." He coldly snorted, but didn't say anything.
Seeing the ridicule on Huyan Ruijin's face, Hong Zhong knew that this person would not believe him at all, and was too lazy to talk to him about it. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought about the matter of the jade pendant, and stopped her steps to take it out. Unexpectedly, in the next second, she felt something tightening around her neck, and then, Huyan Ruijin's cold voice rang out, "Hong Zhong, are you trying to escape? Do you think this king will let you off!? "
I want to run? Run your sister!
The suffocating pain on Hong Zhong's neck didn't allow her to think any further. Damn, the feeling of her own neck being grabbed by someone's hand really didn't matter, and she had also underestimated the hatred Huyan Ruijin had in her heart. She actually delivered herself to her doorstep to seek a beating!
After coughing for a while, the melee fighting technique that he had seen before flashed across his mind. He extended his hand to pat Huyan Ruijin's hand with all her might: "Wait, wait, when you brought me here, you were seen by Murong Youqi. If I die now, you will not be able to escape responsibility!"
Huyan Ruijin's cold eyes slightly paused for a moment, and in the end, the strength in her hands loosened. It was this moment that allowed Hong Zhong to grasp the opportunity to counterattack, and quickly attack Huyan Ruijin's chest. Although it was her first time using her martial arts, he still used his full strength.
also didn't expect Hong Zhong to strike again at this moment, so she wasn't prepared for it and successfully let Hong Zhong's sneak attack succeed. He loosened her grip on Hong Zhong's neck and painfully bent down, his beautiful jade-like face becoming somewhat sinister.
Hong Zhong also took this opportunity to quickly escape.
Huyan Ruijin came back to her senses, but just as she was about to chase up, she saw a group of cultivators from the National Temple walking over. From the looks of it, they seemed to have just come back from saving the fire in the West Garden, and upon seeing Huyan Ruijin, they took the initiative to greet him.
Looking at Hong Zhong's flying figure, Huyan Ruijin gritted her teeth as she forcefully suppressed her anger. She bowed to the group of monks and said, "Greetings, Masters."
The leader of the guards laughed and said to Huyan Ruijin: Prince Jin, it's great that you're fine, the side room of West Garden has already been burnt down, and right now, Master Fang is looking for you everywhere, if you have nothing else, please follow me, Master Fang has arranged a new residence for you.
"In that case, thank you everyone." Huyan Ruijin bowed with a faint smile, completely devoid of her previous anger and viciousness.
Hong Zhong ran towards the East Garden like she was flying, entered the house, and closed the door.
It could be seen that those people were still afraid of the National Temple, and there were still many people living in the East Garden, so it was unlikely that Huyan Ruijin would make a move tonight. When she returned to the Imperial Palace tomorrow, Baili Yi Chen's imperial guards would definitely not be easy to bully either!
This way, he would be safe for the time being!
After taking a deep breath, Hong Zhong started to recall the time she attacked Huyan Ruijin. Although it was her first time using martial arts, Huyan Ruijin seemed to be in pain and that was why she was able to let go of herself. I didn't expect that the booklet would be so formidable. After just a short while, it had already become that amazing!
With that in mind, she happily ate the dinner that was brought over. Because the things she did in the afternoon and at night were too exhausting, she felt especially sleepy and went to bed early.
The next day was the day they returned to the palace.
Qing Ya woke Hong Zhong up early in the morning. She said that after breakfast, everyone was ready to return to the palace.
While she was carrying the breakfast, Hong Zhong tried to recite the familiar internal energy formula silently in his mind, and once again activated the warm energy in his abdomen. Finally, the warm energy flowed into his heart, and there was another heart-wrenching pain.
It seemed that cultivating was something he couldn't rush!
After Hong Zhong finished her breakfast and cleaned herself up, she went out to prepare to leave with the noble daughter who lived with him in the East Garden. But when she went out, he realized that everyone had pretty much left, the rest of them walked slowly, and after seeing Hong Zhong again, they quickly jogged forward a few steps, looking like they were avoiding Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong shrugged her shoulders speechlessly. These people, what did they want to do if they saw a ghost? They signaled Qing Ya with their eyes, and only after Qing Ya went out to investigate for a while, did she realize that it was the order of the Grand Princess. If anyone dared to befriend Hong Zhong, they would be enemies with her.
Although Hong Zhong was powerful, but she could only be considered a subject, and Baili Ziyan, even if she was punished, was still a member of the royal family. Just when she was instructing Qing Ya to take the bag and get ready to leave. A melodious voice came out from beside her ears: "I wonder if Little Sister Zhong Er has finished cleaning up?"
Turning his head, he saw Chu Lingshan dressed in a Chinese robe, smiling sweetly at Hong Zhong, Hong Zhong laughed: "Elder Sister Chu? I wonder why Elder Sister Chu is here? "
Chu Lingshan looked at the empty courtyard behind him, the silver bell-like voice carried a trace of a warm smile: "Everyone pack up and leave, let me check to see if my sister is done packing, if you are done packing, let us go back together."
Hong Zhong laughed blandly: Haha, okay, but after they left, aren't you afraid of offending Baili Ziyan by staying behind? Staying behind to accompany her at this time, Baili Ziyan would probably find out before long.
Chu Lingshan paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Elder sister is not afraid of inclining her body, what is there to be afraid of? Originally, I had planned to use the opportunity when I was in Yue Lao Shu to ask for autographs to chat with my sister, but in the end, I didn't manage to find an opportunity. " As she said that, she looked at the elegance around Hong Zhong's body and paused for a moment.
"Qingya, take your things and leave first." Hong Zhong instructed Qing Ya. Actually, her impression of Chu Lingshan was not bad, at least, it was a lot better than the girls from the east west and the west, as well as Chu Qin.
Qing Ya nodded, she then instructed the two Xiao Gongnv s behind her and took Hong Zhong's things to leave.
Watching Qingya walk off, Hong Zhong also spoke very straightforwardly: "Elder Sister Chu came to find me because you have something to say, right? Just tell me, if Hong Zhong is able to help, she will definitely do her best. "
After Chu Lingshan heard this, she shed not expect Hong Zhong to be so direct. She thought that since she and Hong Zhong were both from the general's family, she herself would be somewhat from the family of generals, but compared to Hong Zhong, he had lost by a bit, and her face turned slightly red: "Little Sister Zhong Er is indeed generous. I actually came to find little sister because I have something that little sister can pass on to Hong Dage on to her."
It was just that she could not let go of him no matter what she did. Now that she thought about it, they had not seen each other for more than two years, and he was probably angry at her for what happened last time. That was why he had not returned to Shengjing City in these two years.
Yesterday, she had heard that not only had he returned to the Shengjing City, but he had also returned to there. Unfortunately, she couldn't find a chance to see him again. Right now, her heart was very perturbed. If he really pissed her off and didn't even give her a chance to meet him in the future, what would she do?
Hong Dage?
Hong Zhong was stupefied for a long time, then suddenly recalled, the Hong Dage that Chu Lingshan was talking about, should be her own big brother who had such a dazzling and cool appearance — — Hong Li!
Speaking of which, she had only met her big brother once. Was he looking for an opportunity to get close to him? After all, this big brother was the richest man in the world, and was so handsome that he didn't even need to be handsome.
Her eyes that were like water stared straight at Chu Lingshan, although her expression was indifferent, it was still slightly flushed, and her heart was filled with understanding, as though she had understood why she had supported Chu Lingshan up earlier. It was to give her big brother a present, but due to her daughter's modesty, she did not want others to find out, "So it's like that, it's naturally not a problem."
Speaking of which, she was also very curious, what exactly was the thing that Chu Lingshan wanted her to deliver? Or was it a handkerchief embroidered with a name? Or was it something like a private pearl hairpin or earring? This was the only thing she could think of to forgive him. After all, she hadn't transmigrated to the movies from before, so this was how it was written!
"Thank you, sister." As Chu Lingshan spoke, the servant girl by her side left and gave him a box. It was wrapped in extremely fine packaging: "Please pass this to Hong Dage, sister."
"This is?" Hong Zhong looked at the thing in Chu Lingshan's hand, and did not reach out to him for a long time.
It was because a medicinal aroma was emanating from the box! It was a very distinct medicinal fragrance!
If he guessed it right, it should be something like a Chinese medicine, right? Speaking of which, a present from a girl to a male god was not a love poem, a handkerchief, or something romantic like a pearl hairpin … Instead, he was giving them Chinese medicine? What kind of custom was this?
Chu Lingshan smiled indifferently: "This item is called the corydalis radix, and is a type of Chinese medicinal herb. Two years ago, Hong Dage spent a lot of money to search for it, but he was unable to find it. It just so happened that a few days ago, I got hold of a stalk by chance and heard that Hong Dage had returned to the Shengjing City. With that, he handed the box over to Hong Zhong.
"Why didn't you give it to him yourself?" Hong Zhong carefully held onto that box. Speaking of which, didn't Big Brother come to National Temple the day before yesterday? Since he had been looking for this thing before, she would only send a letter. He should be able to get it by herself, right?
Instead, it was the little girl who spoke up, and her tone carried a sense of dissatisfaction: "I had originally wanted to personally give it to Young Noble Hong the day before yesterday, but didn't Young Noble Hong avoid Miss? Miss doesn't even see him, how would I have the chance to give it to him personally?"
"Yu'er, don't speak nonsense." After the little girl named Yu'er finished speaking, she was immediately stunned by Chu Lingshan.
"What I said was the truth." Hearing this, Yu'er shut her mouth, feeling wronged.
Chu Lingshan turned her head around and said with an apologetic tone, "Little sister, don't worry.
Hong Zhong nodded and did not say a word. She was not allowed to meddle in the matters between master and servant, but Hong Zhong had also become aware of the slight change in Chu Lingshan's emotions, and she was puzzled in the bottom of her heart, why would Chu Lingshan have such an expression when she mentioned his big brother? And why did Eldest Brother avoid her? Could it be that there was some unknown story between her and her brother?
Furthermore, she was actually curious about this item inside the box that was called "corydalis radix". It was actually something that the richest man in the world had spent a lot of money to search for, but she couldn't find even one. "Elder Sister Chu, is this corydalis radix a treasure?"
"Not really!" Chu Lingshan laughed.
The two of them spoke as they walked out of the carriage. Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of National Temple, Qing Ya was already waiting for the carriage.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the National Temple, he saw Murong Youqi fanning himself and following behind him was White-headed Bian'er who was respectfully saying, "Prince, Xi Ling's horse carriage is already at the front and behind them are all the female carriages of the Southern Qi, shouldn't we also quickly follow them?"
Murong Youqi waved his fan indifferently, he did not seem to care about the situation and anxiously asked: "What are you so anxious about? This prince has always only liked to leave with beauties, what meaning is there in walking with that man Huyan Ruijin! "
Turning his head, he saw Hong Zhong walking out together with him, and laughed: "Third Miss, long time no see, I wonder if Third Miss has missed this prince yet?"
"Cough, cough." Chu Lingshan was obviously choking on his words, this Fourth Prince Dong Heng did not greet anyone, and only spoke to Hong Zhong, and the content of the words were too ambiguous, it was likely that in less than two hours, these words would reach the ears of the Grand Princess.
After thinking about it, she pulled Hong Zhong's hand. "Little sister, the wind here is strong, your hand is cold, why don't you hurry up and get in the carriage!" Taking advantage of the time when they were near Hong Zhong, he used a voice that only two people could hear and said to Hong Zhong: "The people around you are all Baili Ziyan's men, be careful little sister." After she finished speaking, she smiled lightly at Hong Zhong and took Yu'er to his carriage.
When Chu Lingshan left, she turned and glanced at the few noble ladies beside him, who were either intentionally or unintentionally walking past him, her expression turned serious, as though she was speechless. She glared at the noble ladies who had strange expressions on their faces.
