Chapter 378
Tao Guan'er took a deep breath, he didn't expect that Uncle Zhongxing would still be brooding over what happened back then.But now sister Shen has sent someone to pick up Daoist Xiu Yuan, if these two people really bump into each other, nothing will happen, right?
Noticing his gaze, the Taoist priest of Zhongxing asked: "You boy, what are you thinking? Are you playing some crazy idea?"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Tao Guan'er shook his head repeatedly.

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know. You have been keen on studying various poisons, pills and hidden weapons since you were young. Do you see that there are many good things here and want to take them away? Let me tell you, Everything I have here is counted, and if one is missing, I will make you unable to eat it!" Said the Taoist priest.

"Uncle, who do you think I am? Even if I like these things, I will never do such sneaky things!" Tao Guan'er said sternly.

Uncle Zhongxing didn't mention it, and he didn't think about it, but now that he thinks about it, he can indeed take the opportunity to steal a few good things!

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare." The Taoist priest of Zhongxing said with a sneer.

"Uncle, your invisible hidden weapon during the day is really powerful. You shot out the poisonous ice needle without anyone noticing it. I didn't realize it at all. Don't talk about me, those who followed me, Those are the secret guards of the Prince Regent, with high martial arts and profound internal strength, they didn't realize it at all." Tao Guan'er said.

The Taoist priest of the Central Bank smiled, stroked his beard, and asked, "The regent? When did we have a regent?"

"You really don't hear anything out of the window. The original King Bin was proclaimed the regent last year by the late emperor. Now he is in charge of the government and is also the serious master of his nephew." Tao Guan'er said.

"Prince Bin? When did I have King Bin?" the Taoist priest asked again.

"Uh... King Bin was the young prince of Prince Heng's mansion back then. Because of his meritorious service on the battlefield, the first emperor specially named him the county king, and later he was named prince. The title has not changed." Tao Guan'er said.

"The little prince of Prince Heng's mansion is... Zhao Huaixiao's son?"

"Yes, exactly."

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said, "I remember his name is Zhao Shun, right? That kid is not ordinary, and he has indeed ascended to a high position now."

"Well, the prince's talent is unparalleled in the world." Tao Guan'er said.

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing smiled lightly, "The talent of destiny is indeed unparalleled."

Early the next morning, Tao Guan'er left the courtyard with the Taoist priest.

When passing through the woods, Tao Guan'er asked enthusiastically: "Master, what kind of good things are you growing in this forest? Why is an ordinary butterfly very poisonous? My nephew almost gave his life yesterday. here."

The Daoist of Zhongxing smiled complacently, "You boy, you still only have some superficial grasp, everything can be poisonous, and there are even poisonous babies born in the middle of Sichuan."

Tao Guan'er was greatly shocked, "Really?"

"Where has Master Master ever lied to you?" said the Taoist priest of Zhongxing.

Tao Guan'er scratched her head, "I remember, when you were young, you told me that candied haws were not tasty, and then you ate two skewers by yourself."

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing stopped, knocked him on the head, and said: "You brat, I remember so long ago, hasn't the uncle treated you well? When you were young, you had a fever and got sick. Your master didn't I don’t have time to take care of it, the medicine is boiled for you by Master himself.”

"But... Master, I had a fever when I was young, wasn't it because you tested me for poison?" Tao Guan'er said.

Daoist Zhong Xing was stunned, then snorted coldly, and said: "If it weren't for the uncle who used to test you with poison, do you think you are destined to pass through this forest alive? I don't know what to do!"

Tao Guan'er suddenly realized, "Uh... no wonder ordinary poisons don't work on me, it turned out to be the reason."

"Naturally, Master Master is doing it for your own good." The Taoist priest of Zhongxing continued to walk outside the forest, and asked again: "Is that princess of yours really rich?"

"Of course! How dare my nephew lie to you? My concubine has a lot of money, and the nursing home of other people's family can only get two taels of silver every month. We are a nursing home in Shen's mansion, and we have dozens of taels of silver every month." , during festivals, there will be even more rewards!" Tao Guaner said.

"So much... I haven't heard of anyone's nursing home with dozens of taels of monthly silver." The Taoist chief of the Bank said.

"It's not just Yueyin, the concubine also treats us very well on weekdays, and she always misses me when she has any delicious food." Tao Guan'er said.

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing nodded, "Now you have a good home."

"Thanks to Sister Shen, my nephew is very comfortable every day, and he has his own house and yard, so he can do whatever he wants! Of course, he also occasionally works as an errand. If I want to buy something and am short of money, Sister Shen will never worry about it." Stingy. In the past, I needed a lot of precious medicinal materials to develop a medicine. Sister Shen didn't say anything, and someone bought it directly and sent it to me."

Tao Guan'er had a happy look on his face, and the Taoist priest of the Central Bank was also happy for him.

"It seems that you have a lot of good things there, but you came to me for help empty-handed, thanks to your big face." The Taoist priest said.

"Master, don't worry, if I get something good in the future, I will definitely share it with you."

After Tao Guan'er finished speaking, he smiled naively, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"You still have a little conscience, kid."
-
"Princess, Tao Guan'er has brought the Taoist priest here!"

Shen Qinglan was reading the account book in Wenlan Courtyard, and stood up quickly when she heard it.

"Fu'er, is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Brother Ji told me that I'm almost at Wenlan Academy now." Fu'er said.

"Quick, follow me to meet you."

Shen Qinglan hurried out of the main hall, and Tao Guan'er had already entered the courtyard with the Taoist priest.

"Sister Shen, this is my uncle, the Taoist priest of the Central Bank." Tao Guan'er introduced.

Shen Qinglan leaned over to salute, "Qinglan, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, has seen the Taoist priest of Zhongxing, and the Taoist came from a long way, but Qinglan never greeted her from afar, so I ask the Taoist priest to forgive me."

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing nodded, and stroked his beard again. He didn't expect that the regent princess didn't have the arrogance of a powerful person.

"Princess, there is no need to be too polite. Tao Guaner has already explained the situation to Pindao. This poison is indeed caused by Pindao, but there is no cure for it yet. Pindao came here this time at the request of Tao Guaner. Look at the situation of the poisoned person."

Although Shen Qinglan was a little disappointed, she still said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, please come with me."

"it is good."

The group left Wenlan Courtyard, and when they walked near Jingyao Courtyard, they happened to meet Brother Kai and Ding Lang bringing Taoist Xiuyuan and Taoist Yucheng over.

"Sister Shen! Sister Shen!"

Seeing Shen Qinglan's figure, Priest Yucheng shouted, ran up to her, and held her hand.
