Ni Ni and Ni Chenyi were riding in a five-horse carriage with a sedan roof to protect them from wind and rain. Changsheng rode on the left side of the carriage. Ni Chenyi opened the sedan curtain but did not speak to Changsheng.
Because the motorcade was too long and there were many onlookers on both sides of the street, the motorcade moved very slowly.
Although Ni Chenyi kept looking out the window, she never spoke. Most of the time, what she looked at was not Changsheng, but the scenery along the street.
Ni Zhuo sat opposite Ni Chenyi, and after the motorcade moved forward, he handed a roll of paper tied with red thread to Changsheng through the window.
Although Ni Zhuo didn't say anything, Changsheng knew that this roll of things should be house deeds and land deeds, so he immediately reached out to take it and put it in his arms.
Although he knew that some of his words would be superficial, Changsheng thought carefully and said again, "But if I have some money left, I will secretly send someone to the Western Regions."
"Absolutely not," Ni Zhuo hurriedly objected in a low voice, "Now that you are in a high and powerful position, the imperial court will definitely put spies around you. The flow of money from the country to foreign lands is the most taboo thing for officials. If the imperial court knows that you are transporting money to foreign lands, , I will no longer regard you as a loyal minister, and by then I am afraid that you will lose even the opportunity to do good deeds and save the world and save the people."
After a brief pause, Ni Zhuo said again, "I am a Taoist layman, and I firmly believe that the destiny of heaven will ensure peace and prosperity. As the saying goes, take it from the people, and use it for the people. The property of the Ni family originally came from the people of the Tang Dynasty, and it should be returned to the people of the Tang Dynasty." Dear people, if you use it to suppress the rebellion or provide relief to the victims, you can also be considered as doing good deeds on behalf of our Ni family and accumulating blessings."
Changsheng nodded.
Ni Zhuo said again, "The Taiping Inn has seven floors. This time we only took away jewelry and other items that are easier to cash in. There are also many rare things hidden in the higher floors, including many fine weapons and various Buddhist and Taoist things. Magic weapons, the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are not good now, traitors are everywhere, and monsters are everywhere. You can give those superior weapons to the generals who serve the country loyally, and those magic weapons might as well be given to high-level Taoist and Buddhist masters to subjugate and eliminate demons. Clarify the universe."
Changsheng nodded slowly, "It's a long journey to the west. The eight Taoist priests accompanying us have worked hard. When they return from the Western Regions, I will thank them heavily on your behalf."
Ni Zhuo nodded, leaned back, and stopped talking.
Ni Chenyi turned to look out the window and saw a vendor selling candied haws on the roadside, so she said to Changsheng, "Changsheng, I want to eat that honey mountain red."
Hearing what Ni Chenyi said, Changsheng hurriedly got off his horse, ran over and bought two strings, and handed them to Ni Chenyi from the window of the sedan carriage.
Ni Chenyi took the candied haws and handed one to Ni Zuo. Ni Zuo did not refuse and took it with a smile.
Ni Chenyi chewed the candied haws and Changsheng and said, "Young Master Hei is really smart. He doesn't run around when you go shopping. He still follows the carriage. How does he know that you will come back after shopping?"
"I will give it to you," Changsheng said. "Although it contains corpse poison, there is a prescription to detoxify it. I will write the prescription to you."
"Are you really willing to give up?" Ni Chenyi asked with a smile.
"I'm willing to give it up," Chang Sheng said, "I was born in a poor family and have nothing to offer you. I don't have anything valuable to give you. Not only does Master Hei understand human nature, he can also run long distances day and night, and can escape from trouble and save lives at critical moments."
Ni Chenyi forced a smile and said, "Haha, a gentleman doesn't take away someone's love. He is your companion, and I don't want it."
Changsheng shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, I really want to give it to you. If it follows me, I'm afraid it won't have a good... good life."
Although Changsheng changed his mind temporarily, Ni Chenyi still guessed from the pause between his words that what he originally wanted to say would not end well. She finally stabilized her mood and forced a smile. When Changsheng said this, she lost control of her emotions instantly, " You'd better come with us, no matter what they do, you don't owe them anything, whether they live or die..."
Before Ni Chenyi could finish speaking, Ni Zhuo interrupted her, "Everyone has his own ambitions, don't mess with his mind."
Hearing Ni Zhuo's words, Ni Chenyi sighed deeply, leaned back on the soft cushions in the carriage, and stopped talking.
Not long after, the convoy arrived at the East-West Street where the north and south meet, and happened to encounter a group of people marching from north to south. Taking a closer look, they turned out to be Zhang Shan and others who were heading south out of the city with some money to recruit soldiers.
When the two teams met, Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo took the initiative to walk towards the carriage Ni Zuo was riding in. Ni Ni and Ni Chenyi in the car learned that Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo had come over, and hurriedly got out of the car to meet them.
Since there was not enough time, and no private words could be said in public, the two parties just talked to each other to take care of each other, and then headed southwest.
It doesn't matter what you say, it's the key. Zhang Shan sent eight purple energy masters to accompany him to escort him. He talked to Ni Zhuo openly this time, which was equivalent to once again stating his position and attitude. Anyone who dares to touch the Ni family will be talking to Longhu. The mountain is insurmountable.
Although Ni Zhuo seems free and easy, in fact, he is still a little melancholy in his heart about moving his family far away. He is very pleased with the friendly attitude of Longhu Mountain. People may not need everyone's approval, but they always need it. Some people agree that the attitudes of Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo represent the Taoist attitude towards him. For Ni Zuo, who is a Taoist layman, this is nothing less than the favor of the gods and the approval of heaven.
While the two parties were talking, Changsheng ran into a nearby shop and borrowed paper and pen to write down the prescription. He really wanted to give the black master to Ni Chenyi, but the black master had corpse poison on his body, and when this guy was angry, he would If it bites people, you must write down a prescription to treat the person or animal bitten by it.
After remounting the horse, Changsheng handed the prescription to Ni Chenyi. Seeing that Changsheng was really going to give Mr. Hei to him, Ni Chenyi was happy and excited. As Changsheng himself said, he was alone and had nothing to gain. Mr. Hei was The one who has followed him the longest is also the one who is tainted with his aura the most. You can think of him when you see Young Master Hei.
The reason why she was excited was because Changsheng was willing to give Mr. Hei to her, which showed that she had a very important position in Changsheng's heart. Before that, she had always thought deep down in her heart that the relationship between the two was just her wishful thinking. Only then did she realize her true feelings. Wishful thinking is gradually impressing Changsheng. If given time, they will be able to get through the water and become intimate. Unfortunately, fate has played a trick on people, and she has no chance to continue to pay for her wishful thinking.
Just when Ni Chenyi was sighing with emotion, Chang Sheng suddenly accelerated his horse, overtaking the convoy and running towards the west gate.
Changsheng suddenly accelerated his horse because he discovered that the soldiers under the west gate were closing the city gate. Taoist priests were much more accurate in timing than ordinary people. It was early spring, and the city gate should be closed at three o'clock. There is still half an hour before the city gate closes.
Seeing Chang Sheng coming on horseback, the soldiers who were closing the city gate were stunned for a moment, then pushed the door and continued to close the door.
"What do you want to do?" Changsheng asked coldly.
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, the captain guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Sir, do you want to leave the city?"
"What time is it now? Who told you to close the door?" Chang Sheng asked with raised eyebrows.
Changsheng’s prestige was earned, coupled with his radical style, ruthless actions, and great power, everyone was afraid of him. The captain guarding the gate was trembling with fear, and said with a trembling voice, “Sir, the door is closed at this time every day. "
"Open the door." Changsheng ordered in a deep voice.
"Open it quickly, open it quickly." The captain guarding the gate hurriedly called to his subordinates to reopen the city gate.
Changsheng jumped up from his horse, stepped on the city wall and jumped up to the city tower. He jumped up again from the city tower and came to mid-air to look at the north and south. At this time, both the north and south city gates were open and not closed.
This discovery made him feel very heavy. The early closing of the west gate was probably someone's instruction. It is still unclear whether the person who ordered it was the emperor or some officials who wanted to impeach Ni Zuo. If it was the former, The consequences would be more serious. The emperor would be dissatisfied with him and Zhang Shan and become more suspicious.
Changsheng had not yet ascended to the purple energy and could not hover in the air for a long time, so he immediately fell back to the tower and jumped down.
At this time, the gate has been reopened, and the Ni family's motorcade filed out. After all the motorcades left the city, the gatekeepers pushed and closed the city gate again. However, this time they learned wisely and did not dare to lock Changsheng out. The city gate was not completely closed. , leaving a gap for people and horses to enter and exit.
After leaving the city and entering the official road, the motorcade was about to speed up. Changsheng understood that seeing you off would end with farewell after thousands of miles, so he did not continue seeing him off. Ni Chenyi did not want him to continue seeing him off, so she got out of the car and said goodbye to him.
While Ni Chenyi was talking to him, Ni Zhuo also got out of the car and talked to the eight purple energy masters accompanying him.
Ni Chenyi is not the kind of ordinary woman who is full of twists and turns and twists and turns. The closer it is to the moment of separation, the more free and easy she behaves. She even joked with Changsheng, saying that she had accumulated a winning streak in the previous competition to find a bride, but in fact she had already won all of them. They had taken away the Ni family's property, and this time they took a lot of it with them when they went west, which was really a shame.
Changsheng also wanted to pretend to be chic, but he couldn't even pretend to smile. From the beginning to now, Ni Chenyi was sincere and impeccable towards him. If nothing happened, he would definitely marry Ni Chenyi. People's mentality is that What has changed is that at the moment I just like her, maybe over time it will become my love and favorite.
The separation was imminent, and Changsheng didn't want to appear too sad, so he pulled Ni Chenyi over and pointed at her to talk to Mr. Hei.
Young Master Hei is very smart. Not only can he understand simple words, but he can also observe people's emotions. When he learned that Chang Sheng asked him to follow Ni Chenyi, Young Master Hei seemed very anxious, shaking his head and sneezing loudly.
Sometimes Chang Sheng comforted him with kind words, and sometimes he scolded him harshly. Master Hei finally understood that Chang Sheng was very determined, so he lowered his head and stopped resisting.
While Changsheng comforted and reprimanded Young Master Hei, Ni Chenyi had been trying her best to stop him. Her mood was very complicated. She wanted to keep Young Master Hei to comfort her, but she couldn't bear to see him separated from Changsheng.
After talking with the Taoist priests, Ni Zhuo returned to the carriage. This time he didn't say anything more to Chang Sheng, but just smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Changsheng smiled back. He wanted to make a guarantee with Ni Zhuo, but he didn't know what he could guarantee.
Luo Xuzi and others had also mounted their horses at this time. Seeing them turn around, Changsheng bowed to everyone and bowed deeply. Everyone knew that he was thanking him for the favor, so they nodded slightly to show their understanding.
Seeing that the convoy started to move, Chang Sheng pointed at Mr. Hei and motioned for Ni Chenyi to get on the horse. To be fair, he was not willing to leave Mr. Hei, who depended on each other for life, but he knew very well that Mr. Hei would probably not end well if he followed him, and Ni Chenyi was sincere to him. , he also hopes that Young Master Hei can follow Ni Chenyi. Young Master Hei is extremely talented and can save lives in critical moments.
Ni Chenyi got on his horse, turned around, looked back, and smiled at Changsheng.
Chang Sheng squeezed out a smile.
As the sun sets, the motorcade speeds towards the west, getting further and further away...
