boom.
The iron tool carried on his shoulders slammed into the trunk of the tree, causing raindrops to fall from the crown of the tree. The others were startled as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
"what happened?"
"I accidentally sprained my foot."
"How could you be so careless? Don't break these artifacts and let the Imperial Master punish you."
The man who made the mistake quickly checked it and saw that there was no other damage except for a bit of rust on the tree, and he was relieved.
As for the rust, it was not caused by him, but the rust on these artifacts while they were being transported from Beidi to Daxing. The Imperial Master once said that it does not matter.
But I don’t know if the marks left on the tree trunk will cause unnecessary trouble.
With this thought in mind, his men took out the knife from their waists, scraped off the rusty bark, and stepped hard into the soil. Then, at the urging of the leader, they continued to move forward with the iron tools on their shoulders.
…
Princess Xian's mansion, in the kitchen.
Ning Wuyan stewed the stewed chicken with mushrooms that Hua Shi said he liked to eat last time, and then put the lid on the pot.
He asked Qin Shi who was standing at the door: "Brother Qin Shi, how long has it been since the rain stopped?"
"It's been two-quarters of an hour. Huangzhuang in the northern suburbs is far away from here. Even if the road is slippery on a rainy day, it's only less than half an hour's journey by carriage. The Chinese Normal University should be there soon."
Yeah?
Then put it in the pot first and warm it over a simmer.
The rest of the stir-fries are ready for the pot.
Ning Wuyan glanced at the dishes prepared on the table. They were all dishes that he had eaten a few times when he had cooked the food at China Normal University.
Today is a memorable day. The main thing is happiness. Since you want to eat, of course you will eat your favorite food.
"It seems like a head of garlic is missing."
As Ning Wuyang spoke, he bent down and found a freshly plucked garlic from the beetroot. After soaking it in water, he peeled off the skin easily and put it on the cutting board. He picked up a kitchen knife and just cut it, when he heard a hurried sound behind him. The sound of footsteps came.
Is the Chinese Normal University here?
He was not distracted and continued to drop the knife.
"Mr. Ning! Master Hua...Master Hua was struck by lightning and passed away!"
Click...
Ning Wuyang put away the knife in time, but a bloody line was still cut. He did not drop the knife, but turned around and frowned at Jiang Shu who hurried into the kitchen. He suspected that he had not slept too much recently and appeared. Had auditory hallucinations.
Otherwise, how could he have heard such outrageous news.
Not only did Ning Wuyan feel that he had hearing loss, but Qin Shi also suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
who?
Who passed away?
"Jiang Shu, say it again."
Qin Shi took a step forward so that he could hear it more clearly.
Jiang Shu looked at Ning Wuyan, who was holding a kitchen knife and standing blankly in front of the cutting board, and then glanced at the leader whose face was full of disbelief. He understood his mood, but Master Hua's body was still lying outside the palace. There is still much to find out.
Therefore, he could only repeat what he just said again.
And this time, he paused for each word to prove that he was correct and everyone heard correctly.
"...Master Hua was struck by lightning and passed away!"
After Ning Wuyan's head buzzed, these words kept echoing in his mind.
The Chinese teacher was struck by lightning and died.
Immortal passing means dead, right?
right?
"Jiang...Jiang Shu."
Ning Wuyang opened his mouth and found that there was a cry in his voice, which shocked him.
Don't panic when something happens.
First ask if this is true or not.
Previously, the Chinese Normal University sent him a special letter to tell him not to go out during thunderstorms. Who knew who might have deliberately designed a trap to lure him out on rainy nights so that he could be killed.
right.
That must be it!
"Jiang Shu."
Ning Wuyan called out again and clenched the kitchen knife in his hand.
"You just said that Master Hua passed away. Did you hear it from someone on the way back from delivering the letter, or did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Mr. Ning, I saw it with my own eyes. Master Hua also left his last words."
Jiang Shu imitated Hua Yi's tone and pauses, and restored the last wish he said before his death.
Ning Wuhuang's heart was shocked, and a hint of sweetness filled his throat.
Whenever Jiang Shu said other last words, he could be sure that it was a conspiracy to lure him out of the house.
But what Jiang Shu said was what Master Hua wanted to accomplish.
and.
If he had not died, Huashi would never have done this through the hands of others!
"Why?"
Ning Wuyang asked subconsciously.
"Why did Master Hua die?"
"Mr. Ning, the Chinese teacher died after being struck by lightning."
Jiang Shu patiently answered again.
But Ning Wuyan shook his head crazily and refuted him: "No! No! The Chinese Normal University is good at deducing celestial phenomena. He can calculate the day and time of thunder. And the first time I met him, it was still raining. He could He can clearly identify where there are thunderclouds, and other accidents may happen to him, but it is absolutely impossible to be struck to death by lightning."
Especially for people who are good at meteorological deductions, even if they encounter the one in ten thousand chance of being struck by lightning.
Hua Shi should have sensed it in advance and reacted accordingly. Moreover, Hua Shi had internal energy to protect his body. How could he be struck by lightning so stupidly?
"Let's go, take me to see the Chinese Normal University!"
Ning Wuyang rushed out with a kitchen knife in hand, a cold light in his eyes, which was sharper than the kitchen knife in his hand.
Qin Shi was shocked when he saw it, but he still stretched out his arm to block him.
"Mr. Ning, don't go there easily. Since this matter is as fishy as what Mr. Ning said, there is no guarantee that Master Hua's death will be used to lure you there..."
"What am I afraid of?"
Ning Wuyang sneered, raised the kitchen knife in his hand above his head and pointed it at the sky, speaking urgently and in a sharp tone.
"The thunder has stopped and the rain has stopped. The Chinese Normal University only reminded me not to go out when it thunders, but it never said that I can't go out when the rain stops. This is Daxing's territory, the capital. There are three Dragon Guards around me, and there are so many Duojing Guards, if I dare not walk at night with so many people in the capital, do you still need me to fight for Daxing? How about the whole country joins the battle and fights to the death with those who want me to die? ?”
"..."
Qin Shi looked at Mr. Ning in astonishment, who spoke without leaving any room.
Having known Mr. Ning for so long, I only know that Mr. Ning is mature and prudent, but now I know that Mr. Ning also has such a naive side.
Qin Shi could understand, but he still did not retract his arm and turned to order Jiang Shu.
"First report the matter about Master Hua to Your Majesty, and then ask Princess Xian or Shangshu Ji to go to the Imperial Manor to investigate the matter thoroughly. Go quietly and don't let anyone know. It concerns Master Hua's reputation and cannot let Master Hua be blinded. shame."
"Shamed?!"
When Ning Wuyan heard this word, a fire burst out of his heart. He glared angrily at Qin Shi who blocked him. Even though he knew that the other party had good intentions, some words still had to be made clear.
"Qin Shi, I call you big brother because I respect you, but I can't understand what you just said. What is humiliation? What did Hua Shi do to shame his reputation?"
How.
Do people still have to be pointed at when they die?
"Mr. Ning, please calm down."
Qin Shi took a deep breath and considered his words.
"As you just said, Master Hua is good at predicting weather conditions. This encounter with lightning must have been an accident. Master Hua is not without enemies in the court. If it is rumored that he has leaked too many secrets, Or for other reasons, this accident happened, which is really harmful to Master Hua’s reputation.”
"I know Mr. Ning that you suspect the conspiracy of Beidi people or Loulan people, but those people are humans, not gods. If they can possess such magical skills, we don't have to compete with them, let alone fight. They rely on such Divine magic can rule the world."
Ning Wushu understood what Qin Shi wanted to express.
Looking at Yun Fei and the third brother who came after hearing the news, they didn't mean to object. His head was throbbing and hurting.
