Putting on the beautiful clothes given by the monk, the young man took the package containing a change of clothes and got ready to go.
Ning Xiu's eyes welled up with tears. If the sixth prince hadn't dragged her along, she would have gone to the Northern Sui Dynasty with the young man to explore the world.
The only people who saw him off were Ning Xiu and the Sixth Prince. Qin Xianqing ignored them. To use what she said just now, it was just a different place to deal with people. What's the big deal? You are quite smart. If you fall into someone else's trap, you will die. Just die, don't embarrass yourself in front of me. Perhaps the Xingxiu Sect came to an end at Woxia Temple, and Qin Xianqing's sword sank into the sea of clouds in the sky without a trace.
"Senior Brother Shen, will we meet again?" Ning Xiu asked in tears.
Shen Li couldn't help but laugh and said: "Of course we will meet again. Do you hope that we will be far apart from now on?"
"No! No! Absolutely not!" The girl waved her hands in a hurry.
I had never heard the sneer on the lips of the Sixth Prince. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Ning Xiu's true feelings will be revealed before we share the same adversity.
He was really a living clown. He bought a bunch of snacks for Ning Xiu, bought beautiful clothes, and secretly brought Ning Xiu delicious food and rice from the imperial chef of the Western Shu Palace to the dog.
The Sixth Prince raised his head half-way, silently asking the sky, and when he wanted to speak, he shed tears first.
"Duckweed still has a day to meet, how can we never see each other again? Junior sister, senior brother is leaving now."
The young man got on his horse, waved his sleeves, pulled the reins, and said gracefully, "Senior brother, this is the farewell."
The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "Duckweeds still have a day to meet each other, but how can there be no time for people to meet each other. Use your poems and borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
"Haha...see you soon!"
Shen Li galloped past the willow branches fluttering in the wind, and crossed the stone bridge with the clear sound of water and rows of swimming fish, carrying the earthy fragrance of the fields on both sides as he walked further and further away.
When no one was visible, the Sixth Prince asked helplessly: "How long are you going to cry?"
Ning Xiu choked up: "I...I just can't let go of Senior Brother Shen."
"It's not a separation of life and death. There will always be a day when we meet again in the future. If you practice your sword more diligently and have more foresight, what's the harm in going north to find Junior Brother Shen yourself?"
Ning Xiu wiped her tears: "Seriously?"
"Why should I lie to you? It's better than Yueyue asking me for pocket money."
"Oh, senior brother, don't I feel sorry for you?"
"???" The sixth prince asked with a shocked look on his face, "Oh, the sun is rising in the west, but you actually feel sorry for me? Why do you feel sorry for me?"
"I feel sorry for my senior brother who has to be busy with state affairs and also take care of me. The master said that he asked me to go to Woxia Temple to protect his senior brother. In fact, he is the one who protects me!"
"That's right, that's right. When you grow up, you can understand this. Senior brother is particularly pleased."
Unknowingly, the Sixth Prince let go of Ning Xiu's arm.
Immediately, Ning Xiu gathered all her strength and ran in the direction where Shen Li rode away.
"Hey, little girl, I'm sorry you can't hold in a good fart!"
As he had expected, he took a few steps quickly, reached out and grabbed Ning Xiu's forearm, and dragged him back to the house. During this period, he asked the passing monks for a rope. No matter how Ning Xiu begged for mercy, he ignored it and wanted to give it to himself first. Tie it up, then tie it up to Ning Xiu. In this way, Ning Yatou can't even run away.
Sitting on a stone bench and drinking tea, the Sixth Prince did not mind at all that the tea this time was several times worse than Wuyan Tea. He looked at the sulky Ning Xiu with a smile.
"Senior Brother, okay, let me go, I won't chase Senior Brother Shen." Ning Xiu said angrily.
The Sixth Prince pointed to the rope tied to his body, "It's okay, I'm tied up too. Besides, I control the heat and will never hurt you."
"Ouch!!! Senior brother, you really make me angry!"
"Haha... I'll make you so angry." He gloated.
After drinking the cup of tea, Ning Xiu poured it for her very carefully.
"Duckweeds can still meet each other, but how can people not meet each other at all? Ning Yatou, Junior Brother Shen is an expert in poetry and swordsmanship, and the deputy mountain chief has an astonishingly good vision."
"Senior brother, I know I'm wrong, can you let me go?" she said gently.
The Sixth Prince was puzzled by Feng Qing and objected: "No, I will let you go in half a day, when Junior Brother is far away."
"Huh, I'll complain to the master when I get back!!"
"What kind of complaint am I suing you for? Be careful what I sue you for!!"
Ning Xiu stood up and said: "You treat me harshly!"
"Yes, yes, why am I just treating you harshly?!"
"You..." Ning Xiu pointed at the Sixth Prince and turned away angrily.
Playing with the tea cup, the sixth prince squinted his eyes slightly and whispered: "Junior sister, what do you think of Junior Brother Shen?"
Talking about Shen Li, Ning Xiu was very excited, "Senior Brother Shen has a uniquely good character in the world. He is handsome, has great swordsmanship, and knows how to chat with girls. Senior Brother Shen is a uniquely good person!!"
"..." The sixth prince looked solemn, "Let me ask you what's in your heart, who calls you a flatterer?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Ning Xiu said confidently with her hands on her hips.
"Father is getting older..."
"Ah! Senior brother, what do you think..." Ning Xiu opened her eyes wide.
The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they not have seven emotions and six desires? Since I am the Sixth Prince, of course I want to compete in my heart."
"But...but senior brother is alone and weak!"
He is mediocre among the dozen or so princes. His mother's family was originally a commoner. Even though he gave birth to a son for the Lord of Shu, he did not become prosperous. Instead, he was cautious and careful in everything. As a result, the sixth prince was unable to do anything he wanted to do. It can be borrowed. The only one who counts as a background is the direct disciple of Jiangeshan. However, Jiangeshan has always stood aside and watched the fight for the throne. Even if the person fighting for the throne is the mountain chief, the other swordsmen are still unmoved. This is the imprint on The rules in the bones, only with such rules, the Western Shu court can safely allow Jiange Mountain to grow year by year, so that it has become a towering tree today.
Jiange Mountain is very low-key, which is related to the character of the swordsman in the mountain. There are endless debates in the world about the ranking of Tongque Terrace, Insect Catching Division, and Jiange Mountain. In all the debates, no one is optimistic that Jiange Mountain can compare with Tongque Terrace, or even be transferred. The insect catching divisions of many Buddhist masters are also at the head of Jiange Mountain.
The Sixth Prince had great faith in Jiange Mountain. Regardless of whether it was the Tongque Terrace or the Insect Catching Division, Jiange Mountain could exert its true power, not to mention forcing it to flee.
It is generally recognized in the world that the swordsman has great killing power. But if dozens or hundreds of sword immortals meet the enemy together, wouldn't it be possible to poke a hole in the sky?
But even in Jiange Mountain where experts gathered, there was no one available to the Sixth Prince.
Therefore, he happily agreed to Qin Xianqing's opening of a branch of the Xingxiu Sect in Chengyi. If he became the branch's helmsman, he would be able to borrow the power of the Xingxiu Sect.
The leader, who is known as one of the most mysterious people in the world, and Zen Master Foyu who is in Kaixi City are helpless. If he needs anything in the future, the Sixth Prince can offer him an offer that the leader cannot refuse.
He just lacks a truly trustworthy right-hand man.
This is also the basis for asking Ning Xiu how he views Shen Li as a person.
"It's not you and Junior Brother Shen!" the Sixth Prince smiled.
Ning Xiu was startled, then immediately regained her composure, "Senior Brother!! Whenever there is a use for Junior Sister in the future..."
pause.
The Sixth Prince said: "Keep talking!"
"Junior sister will think carefully about how to help senior brother!"
"..." He sighed, "I thought you would say you would go all out regardless of life or death."
"I am as beautiful as a flower. If I don't care about life and death, if I die, the world will lose a beautiful woman who will conquer the whole country! Besides, who will accompany Senior Brother Shen!"
"Haha, Ning Xiu, you are so narcissistic!"
"Just narcissistic! Just narcissistic! Just narcissistic!!!" Ning Xiu said loudly.
"Someone's coming, hush," he said softly.
Ning Xiu looked towards the door.
The person who came was Monk Hengmiao, carrying a lunch box.
The Sixth Prince quickly stood up and said, "It turns out to be Master Hengmiao, please sit down quickly."
Hengmiao glanced at the tea cup: "The poor monk remembers that Woxia Temple sent His Highness good Wuyan tea. Why do you drink such bad tea now?"
Inviting Hengmiao to sit down, the Sixth Prince untied the rope between him and Ning Xiu, reached out to grab her and pulled her to his side, and said with a smile: "To be honest, Junior Brother Shen thought it was delicious, so I just gave it all to him. "
"Shen Li, this guy is so shamelessly thick-skinned. Even though the poor monk stays in Woxia Temple all year round to meditate and worship Buddha, his ears are ringing with pain after hearing about his series of shameless evil deeds." Heng Miao replied calmly.
It seems like he didn't say anything, but he actually said too much.
The sixth prince was by no means a fool. He understood the implication as soon as he heard the words, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the master is destined to me."
"I do have a destiny with His Highness."
"I wonder if Master comes here this time and has any advice?"
Hengmiao glanced at Ning Xiu.
The Sixth Prince said: "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce Ning Xiu to the master. She is the registered disciple of the deputy mountain chief. Although she is only a registered disciple, she actually has the same affection as father and daughter."
Master Hengmiao smiled: "The poor monk is Lucun, one of the seven killers of the Xingxiu Sect."
The Sixth Prince was startled, then returned to normal in an instant, and couldn't help but whisper: "I have promised to help Xingxiu Sect open a branch in Chengyi."
"The poor monk also knows that His Highness is the helmsman of the branch."
Hengmiao watched the sixth prince pouring tea for him. When the tea cup was about seventy-full, Heng Miao slowly said, "The poor monk will follow His Highness back to Western Shu to help with the helm sharing."
"Woxia Temple is in a troubled time, can Master really escape?"
"The poor monk Buddha's heart was trembling. He just happened to walk more and see more. He only practiced hard and fell behind the lower vehicle."
"Okay, I have a master who will go back to Xishu with me. I hope I won't be lonely on the way. I can ask the master for Buddhist advice from time to time."
Hengmiao smiled and said: "The abbot asked me to read more Buddhist scriptures, I'm afraid I will walk very slowly on the road."
"Ah?" The sixth prince was surprised.
"The poor monk prepared two baskets of Buddhist scriptures and was on his way while carrying the load."
"..."
This is really a monk who loves reading.
Ning Xiu looked at Monk Hengmiao and accidentally noticed that his expression was abnormal and he seemed to be seriously injured.
Just as he was about to speak, the Sixth Prince preempted him.
"Master, your injury won't prevent you from going to Xishu, right?"
"A few days of rest is enough. Isn't His Highness also waiting for Lord Wu's reply?"
Wang Chunfu and the prince who were in contact with the sixth prince were both dead. At this embarrassing moment, they could only wait for Lord Wu to send a message. As for whether the two countries would form an alliance or not, it would depend on what Lord Wu thought.
However, there was no way to bargain with each other. After all, the prince's death would definitely cause chaos in the Southern Wu court.
The Sixth Prince sighed: "This world is getting more and more uneven."
"Tingping is a little old, and now it's the careerist's turn to make his debut."
"Will you help me when we arrive in Chengyi?" The sixth prince lowered his voice.
Monk Hengmiao smiled.
