It seemed that the only thing this master who was once famous in the world could do was introduce his apprentice to Zuo Ning.
After a simple meal, Zuo Ning planned to resign and return to the cottage to spend the night.
"Thank you, Senior Lin, for your hospitality. If such a day comes, I will definitely treat you as a courtesy to a great talent like Mr. He."
Lin Guang nodded, and then said slowly:
"Don't go to that cottage. This place is more than thirty miles away from the capital, which is not very far. Just sleep here tonight and set off again tomorrow."
More than thirty miles?
How could I remember that the place where I left the official road to intercept Kan Rong and Yang Yuqing was still hundreds of miles away from the capital?
Lin Guang still saw Zuo Ning's doubts. He pointed at the mountain in front of him and explained:
"This green mountain winds and separates Qingzhou and Jingzhou. If you take that road to Beijing, you have to go around the canyon in the west. There are many detours, right?"
Zuo Ning also figured it out.
The place where Lin Guang lives in seclusion should be in the hinterland of Xiangqing Mountain, which just saves the detour and can reach the capital faster.
It's like a tunnel cut through the mountain, eliminating the need to go around the mountain. It's just a bit difficult to find. Without someone to guide you, it's easy to get lost in this wild mountain.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll just ask my disciple to give you two a lift."
Since it was an old man's kindness, Zuo Ning naturally accepted it. After thanking him quickly, Zuo Ning turned around to look for Lu Zangtang, who was chatting with the little girl who was soaked in the rain.
Lu Shuihan, who was suddenly interrupted by this family member, naturally forgot about the awkwardness between him and Zuo Ning.
Besides, if I go to Zuo Ning to find out more, and this scumbag threatens me with this matter, God knows what will happen?
I guess I didn't lose my beauty and had my leg broken, and I had to be held down and bullied in turn.
"Zuo Ning, the room on the left is for you tonight."
When Zuo Ning walked next to Lu Shuihan, Lin Guang suddenly said:
"There aren't many houses left, so just two people can make do. By the way, there is a pool of hot spring water at the foot of the mountain."
From this distance, Zuo Ning could hear it, and so could Lu Shuihan. Hearing that the two of them had to sleep in the same room tonight naturally frightened the timid girl.
When Zuo Ning turned back to stare at Lin Guang, the old man actually gave him a very ungrateful expression with a half-smile.
Come on.
Zuo Ning understood that Lin Guang's image and persona of being a celestial being and a Taoist master in his heart had collapsed.
When Zuo Ning stopped looking at him, Lin Guang smiled and shook his head:
"This boy, his father is not a romantic young master, so why did he give birth to such a romantic young master..."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. The Martial Saint in his twenties cannot be evaluated anymore. If Zhou Ding knows about it, he may have to jump off a cliff..."
…
Squeak~
Lu Shuihan didn't know what was wrong with her. After she finished bathing, she finally chose to open the door in front of her instead of going to Lin Yu's house.
Although Senior Lin said that this room was lent to herself and Zuo Ning tonight, she saw that Senior Lin and his apprentice were clearly sleeping in the same room, while Miss Lin Yu was sleeping alone.
It was obvious that Senior Lin, who was very good at predicting things, still "left a way out" for her.
But she finally stood in front of Zuo Ning's house and opened the door...
Under the candlelight, Zuo Ning was holding a book with his back to the door, leaning against the bedside, immersed in reading.
After hearing the door open, he turned around and saw Lu Shuihan walking in, wearing a loose, plain white nightgown.
The snow-white hair that has not yet dried is mixed with water vapor, because it was washed cleanly after bathing, and the originally fair skin is now so tender that it seems like you can pinch water.
White and rosy, skin like snow.
The hazy water vapor brought out this stunning woman's dreamlike and fairy-like inspiration.
The white nightgown covered most of her round thighs, but exposed her slender and well-proportioned calves without any flaws.
The body proportions of the beauty in front of her are really amazing. Her already tall height is paired with perfect curves and a pair of long legs as plump as jade pillars.
Zuo Ning simply forgot to read, and the room fell into silence, leaving only the candlelight swaying gently.
Whether it was the first time in her life that she had been defeated so completely, or Zuo Ning's conversation with her along the way, it all left an indelible impression on her heart.
Although I have been walking in the world for more than half a year, what kind of people have I not seen? No matter whether it is a promiscuous young man who has some ambitions about his appearance, or those so-called young men from aristocratic families with extraordinary talents, they all make him unable to arouse the slightest interest.
He talks so much about it, but gets defeated completely in a fight, and then he has to pretend to be a gentleman in an attempt to get closer to himself.
Too much.
Of course Lu Shuihan knew that if these people could beat her like Zuo Ning, they would not have such an attitude. Such people really made her sick.
Until she planned to go to Yanzhou to worship the halberd and learn Dharma, in that small town, she met a handsome young man in white clothes who was drinking tea and listening to storytelling related to her.
She recognized that he was one of the targets of her trip, Zuo Ning, the descendant of Zuo Jiaji and the tiger of Yanzhou.
Then, the strength of the pinnacle grandmaster that he was proud of was knocked down by the gentle and elegant-looking Young Master Jun in four moves without fighting seriously.
Become a companion on his journey to Beijing.
His superior martial arts skills were the first impression he left on himself.
Then along the way, this handsome young man had an extraordinary conversation, and every word he said made her more interested in him. She began to feel less restrained and let out the same evil spirit as at home.
Although he was lustful and still flirting with her even though he had two engagements in hand, she somehow couldn't dislike him.
It's as if it's a big joke in the world for a person like him not to have many women fall in love with him.
Maybe it was because the people I saw before were really bad, maybe it was because Zuo Ning was impeccable in other aspects except for being a bit lustful.
This led to the development of such an inexplicable situation.
…
"Shuihan?"
Zuo Ning called out softly, looking at the beauty in front of him who was blushing more and more, he was a little surprised, because he felt that Lu Shuihan must have gone to Lin Yu's house tonight.
Why are you here?
"ah?"
Zuo Ning's soft call brought Lu Shuihan back from her thoughts. She looked at the noble young master who was sitting on the bed in front of her, putting down his book and looking at her.
Finally, she took a deep breath and took a step forward.
She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look at Zuo Ning.
Zuo Ning smiled slightly, stood up, pulled the enchanting beauty in front of him into his arms, and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"That's my answer."
There is no need to look forward and backward, I am not coming to Beijing to be a son-in-law, but the princess is marrying me!
He didn't know why Lu Shuihan suddenly made up his mind to come here, nor did he know that in less than two weeks, she chose to fall in love with him.
If you don’t know, you don’t know.
Why do you care so much?
Maybe it was her inherently resolute personality, maybe it was her inherently demonic behavior, but in the end she was able to choose tolerance and compromise between the two engagements and stand here.
What other reason could I have to reject her?
At the white-haired fairy's exclamation, the two fell onto the bed.
Although Lu Shuihan looked straight into her heart, she was still too timid about this kind of thing. She was so frightened that she quickly struggled in Zuo Ning's arms.
How could Zuo Ning let go? Instead, his arms tightened a little tighter, and then he whispered softly on her crystal earlobes:
"Don't make trouble and sleep well."
The warm breath and gentle voice instantly made Lu Shuihan's whole body shudder. She didn't move anymore and quietly leaned against Zuo Ning's arms.
The candles went out and the room fell into darkness. Zuo Ning leaned his chin on the beauty's shoulder and fell asleep with her.
…
When she woke up the next day, Lu Shuihan got up much earlier than the handsome young master next to her. Naturally, she didn't want to recall the blushing scene yesterday.
But when I woke up early in the morning, I felt something resting on my thigh, and something pressing against my lower abdomen...
?
After he woke up completely, Lu Shuihan discovered that the sleeping Zuo Ning had one hand around his waist so that he and he were almost face to face.
The plump snowballs under the loose nightgown overlapped and pressed against his chest, squeezing them out of shape.
Zuo Ning's other hand slightly pushed up the hem of his nightgown and caressed his thigh. The numbing touch made Lu Shuihan shiver.
Then, what is pushing against my lower abdomen?
what is it then?
?
! ?
Lu Shuihan realized right away that Zuo Ning was actually poking himself with Xiao Fangtian's painted halberd! !
She quickly patted the sleeping Zuo Ning awake and looked at him with a face of shame and anger, as if Zuo Ning had done something terrible to her.
Zuo Ning stood up and looked at the white-haired fairy who slept in his arms all night last night, feeling a little confused.
Didn't she agree to it herself last night?
After a nap, you will change your face and show me a show?
"You just slept one night, and you want to bully me... Bah! You're a scumbag~"
?
Who kind of person Zuo Ning was, Tian lowered his head and saw clearly.
After suppressing the anger in the early morning, he naturally understood that Lu Cangtang could not accept these excessive things for the time being, and said quickly:
"The sun rises every day. The laws of nature are beyond human control...haha..."
Lu Shuihan, who had never heard of this statement, was naturally confused for a moment. She didn't know whether she should believe the sweetheart in front of her.
In the end, she sighed and didn't pursue it any further.
"You two inside! Pack up and get ready to go!"
Gu Yunzhi's voice came from outside, interrupting the two people's thoughts.
"You go out first."
Lu Shuihan ordered.
Zuo Ning put on his white robe, tied his belt, and stepped out of the room.
Only when the door was closed and Zuo Ning and the outside could no longer be seen, Lu Shuihan nodded with satisfaction and began to change clothes.
"I didn't even peek..."
…
Thirty miles is not a long journey.
The three of them rode horses and walked slowly. It took almost half a day to completely exit Xiangqing Mountain and saw the outline of a towering city in the distance.
"You two, I will send you here."
After saying that, Gu Yunchu seemed to be unable to bear anything, so he rode back without looking back. Zuo Ning disappeared without even saying thank you.
?
Why does Lin Guang, the apprentice, still feel a little bit familiar?
"Aning, we've arrived in the capital and it's time for me to leave."
?
Zuo Ning looked at the calm Lu Shuihan next to him and didn't know what to say for a moment.
I only know that when she said she wanted to leave, my heart suddenly tightened.
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, blowing up Lu Shuihan's snow-covered hair. Zuo Ning stared at him blankly without saying a word.
"When we finally have to say goodbye, you should go about your business first."
After the gentle voice came, Lu Shuihan looked at the somewhat reluctant Young Master next to him.
He leaned down, smiled slightly, and let his Tuxue and Zuo Ning's spiritual jade stick together.
Then the red lips lightly tapped Zuo Ning's face like a dragonfly, and then chuckled.
"You go and marry your princess wife, why don't I rush to be a maid?"
Lu Shuihan said with a smile, and his tone didn't seem to have any sympathy for his sweetheart marrying someone else.
Now, in her opinion, it was abnormal for Zuo Ning not to marry several wives, not to mention that this was a princess, a marriage granted by the emperor.
"Shui Han...what are your plans?"
Looking at the beautiful lady in front of him who was smiling in the wind, her hair a little messy due to the spring breeze, Zuo Ning stretched out his hand, held up her hair and asked.
"If I don't tell you, we will definitely meet. Okay, okay, why are you a more mother-in-law than me? Hold on to this earring. If you suddenly miss me at the princess' place one day, just take a look."
After saying that, Lu Shuihan took off an earring directly from his ear, gently placed it on Zuo Ning's palm, and then rubbed Zuo Ning's palm with his delicate fingers in a playful manner.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave first. You can go to Beijing."
After doing all this, Lu Shuihan hummed a song softly, rode the white horse, turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Lu Shuihan turned back to Zuo Ning and cursed softly:
"Love kind."
Zuo Ning smiled slightly and looked at her carefully without denying it.
The melodious singing dispersed into the gentle spring breeze, and this scene happened again.
Just when she was about to disappear from his sight, Lu Shuihan turned around and waved to Zuo Ning again. Zuo Ning looked at the smile on her face and smiled helplessly until the beautiful figure disappeared completely.
"It's time to say goodbye..."
After watching her back disappear from sight, Zuo Ning sighed, stroking the earrings that still had a hint of warmth and lingering fragrance in his hand.
Then he carefully put the earrings away temporarily in the small wooden box where the jade flute was placed, and then turned the horse's head.
Then he grabbed the horse's belly and headed towards the capital.
