Seeing the clouds

Chapter 33 Chapter 32 Going to Wudang

Zhang Chu returned to the casino and found that Li Jingxuan and Li Jingxiong were still monitoring Sun Tai.

Li Jingxuan found Zhang Yue coming back, looked at the wound on his cheek and asked: "Brother Yue, your face?"

Only then did Zhang Yue realize that his face had been scratched by Lin Ya's sword energy. He touched the wound that had stopped bleeding and said with a smile, "I was scratched without paying attention. It doesn't matter."

Seeing that he was fine, Li Jingxuan nodded and asked, "Where is Lin Ya?"

Zhang Chuchu patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. How is Sun Tai doing?"

Li Jingxuan replied: "Looking at his expression, he should have lost everything again tonight."

Zhang Yue frowned and said: "Always losing? Even if a person is extremely unlucky, he can't always lose, right?"

Li Jingxuan explained: "This kind of casino usually has some operations behind the scenes. It will give you a taste of sweetness at first, and then it will endlessly fill in the pits, and in the end it will go bankrupt."

Zhang Chuchu was puzzled: "The government doesn't care?"

Li Jingxuan sighed.He said helplessly: "This kind of business is generally part of the government. Not to mention selling favors, and even participating in it myself, it is naturally difficult to manage."

Zhang Yue shook his head, sighing in his heart at the filth and filthiness of the world.

After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "That's it for today. Let's go back first. Tomorrow, I'll ask Xiao Shitou to ask someone to bring money to Chunfeng Pavilion to get Sun Ying's deed of prostitution. Although Miss Luo said that this matter would You have to deal with it yourself, but to do good things to the end and send Buddha to the West, we should try our best to deal with it."

Li Jingxuan nodded, and the three of them left the casino and returned to the Han Dynasty Duke's Mansion.The three of them chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they returned to their respective rooms and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after Zhang Yue had breakfast, Li Jingxuan told him that Sun Ying's matter had been settled and the deed of betrayal was delivered to Luo Muwan. Zhang Yue finally felt relieved.

After a while, the two received news that Luo Muwan and Lin Ya were visiting.After Luo Muwan and Lin Ya visited Li Shude, Duke of Han Dynasty, they came to Li Jingxuan's courtyard to express their thanks.

Luo Muwan, Li Jingxuan and Zhang Chuchu had a conversation. He first thanked them for the little girl Sun Ying, and then told them that he, Lin Ya and Sun Ying were about to leave to return to Shifu Villa. If you have the opportunity to visit the Chu region, you must go to Shifu Villa to have a seat, so that you can fulfill your friendship as a landlord.

Lin Ya, who was standing aside, watched the two of them without saying a word, her expression still as indifferent as before, as if nothing happened last night.

Then the two of them said goodbye and left.However, the two left, and the servant Li Tan ran in to report that an old friend was visiting.

An old friend is visiting?Li Jingxuan was stunned. He really couldn't imagine who would come to Tianshui to visit him at this time, but he had to go.

Seeing his tangled look, Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Go quickly, don't keep the guests waiting. I won't walk around to avoid being recognized, and I will wait for you to come back in the house."

After hearing this, Li Jingxuan nodded and left with Li Tan.

Zhang Chuchu returned to the room, recalled Lin Ya's sword skills last night, and imitated them alone in the room while holding the knife.

After a while of burning incense, Zhang Chuchu heard footsteps in the courtyard and knew that Li Jingxuan was back. He stopped what he was doing, put away the knife, and sat on a stool to rest.

As a result, as soon as Li Jingxuan opened the door, he shouted to Zhang Yue with a face full of joy: "Brother Yue, guess who is here."

Zhang Yue was so confused that he couldn't guess who it was, but judging from his tone, he seemed to know him.
Just before he said "Who is it?", another figure rushed into the room and shouted with a smile: "Cousin!"

Zhang Yue was stunned. He never expected that the old friend Li Tan mentioned before was actually Zheng Baiyu who was far away in Jincheng. Didn't he consult his parents to no avail?I don’t know how I got to Tianshui.

Zheng Baiyu didn't show up, sat down on the stool, and said with a smile: "Isn't it surprising?"

Zhang Chuchu also smiled and nodded: "It's indeed surprising. Cousin, aren't you in Jincheng? How did you get to Tianshui?"

Zheng Baiyu then talked about how he had to persuade his parents to agree to travel with Zhang Yue in the rivers and lakes. Unfortunately, Zhang Yue had already rushed to Tianshui with the Jincheng Escort Bureau at that time, so he asked for a horse from his house. Good horse, hurry up and rush to Tianshui.After several days of sleeping in the open air and traveling day and night, and on the way we met the escort team heading back to Jincheng, we finally arrived in Tianshui this morning.

However, he naturally made up the matter to convince his parents. Zheng Yuanfu was fine, but Qin Hongwan would not agree.After being imprisoned for several days, he colluded with the housekeeper and set off secretly at night, leaving only a farewell letter in his room.Zhang Yue and Li Jingxuan listened to what he said, but they didn't believe it no matter what they heard. Zhang Yue laughed and teased him: "I can understand that my uncle agrees, but I really didn't expect that my aunt would also agree."

Zheng Baiyu said: "Originally she did not agree, but I told her some truths such as 'A man's ambitions are everywhere' and 'Parents are here, if you don't travel far, you will have a way to travel'. This bothered her for a few days. In the end, she felt it made sense, so she reluctantly agreed.”

In fact, when Zheng Baiyu said this, he was extremely panicked. He was afraid that Zhang Yue would find out that he was lying and be ordered to go home as his elder brother. His palms were sweating.

Zhang Yue and Li Jingxuan looked at each other, half-smiling but not smiling, and they knew better when they saw him like that.However, it was hard to see him rushing from Jincheng to Tianshui alone to pursue Zhang Yue. It seemed that he had made up his mind and refused to expose him again.

When Zheng Baiyu saw that Zhang Yue did not refuse after he expressed his intention to follow his cousin to travel around the world, he felt that there was something interesting, and he was very happy.

Zheng Baiyu naturally met Li Jingxuan when he lived in Yunxia, ​​so Zheng Baiyu only came to Li Jingxuan for help when he arrived in Tianshui, and the three of them chatted and laughed for a while.

At noon, Li Jingxuan took Zhang Yue, Zheng Baiyu and his younger brother Li Jingxiong to Zhaixinglou for a good meal. After all, Zhang Yue planned to leave for Luoyang, the central capital, in the afternoon, and Zheng Baiyu should also be there. Go ahead, there is no such thing as a banquet that never ends, but after the banquet is about to be dispersed, the banquet cannot be abandoned casually just because it is about to be dispersed.

When the four of them left the house, they also met Li Shude's third son, Li Jingxuan's third brother and Li Jingxiong's third brother - Li Jingren.Li Jingren knew Zheng Baiyu. After all, Tianshui, the son of the Zheng governor's family in Jincheng, had come several times and had met him once.But he didn't recognize Zhang Yue, who was wearing a white robe and carrying a sword at his waist. After some questioning, Li Jingxuan introduced him that Zhang Yue was his friend from Yumen Pass and was passing by here.

After Li Jingren learned that the white-robed scholar's family background was mediocre, he also lost interest. After being polite, he turned and left.

Li Jingxuan, Zhang Yue and Zheng Baiyu also knew the character of the third son of the Li family, so naturally they didn't take his attitude seriously.

When they arrived on the fourth floor of the Star Building, the four of them had a good meal in a happy atmosphere. They did not feel sad because they were about to separate. After all, there are no places in life where we meet, and today's separation is for a better reunion tomorrow.

But just when the song came to an end, Li Jingxiong said something that shocked the three people present: "I want to travel around the world with Brother Yue and Baimao."

Li Jingxuan really didn't expect that his younger brother, who had only wanted to be with him since childhood, would actually want to leave his side.

Li Jingxiong looked at the shocked and puzzled looks of the three people, scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Since I was a child, I have heard so many stories about chivalrous people and righteousness, and I also want to be like the protagonist in the story, a righteous hero. I don’t want to hide under the protection of my second brother forever. People will eventually grow up, so I want to go out and see the world outside. And after I leave, my second brother will not treat my eldest brother and third brother again because of me. I swallowed my anger.”

Li Jingxuan said softly: "So you know everything."

Zhang Chuchu and Zheng Baiyu looked at the brothers, and their hearts became filled with emotion.However, the two of them had no objection to Li Jingxiong joining the journey. After all, everyone knew about Li Jingxiong's exaggerated strength. Not only would he not cause trouble to the two of them, he might even be able to save one of them at a critical moment.

Li Jingxuan did not agree immediately. He looked at Li Jingxiong, and Li Jingxiong looked at him with determination in his eyes.After a long time, Li Jingxuan shook his head and sighed: "Since you were a child, you have never made any demands on me. Now that you have made up your mind this time, I will definitely not object. However, you have a special constitution since you were a child, so you Regarding Tianshui City, it’s useless for me to agree, I need Grandpa Zhao’s consent.”

The tall boy nodded.

Li Jingxuan said: "Wudang Mountain is located between Tianshui and Chang'an, and it is barely on the same road as Brother Yue and Xiaoyu. Let's see, I will inform my father later and ask for some sergeants and horses. My father believes it and will definitely not object. , we can go to Wudang together."

The three of them nodded in agreement.The four of them returned to the Han Dynasty Duke's Mansion. Zhang Yue and Zheng Baiyu were waiting in Li Jingxuan's house. Li Jingxuan and Li Jingxiong went to Li Shude to ask for the accompanying army horses.

Li Shude believed it when he came, and he also doted on his four sons.So after the two people made their intentions clear to him, without saying a word, they took out fifty elite soldiers and sixty fine horses from the city defenders and handed them over to Li Jingxuan. At the same time, they also told the two people to pay attention to their health after being tired from traveling and traveling.The two of them naturally nodded and agreed to their father sincerely.

Li Jingxuan and Li Jingxiong returned to the courtyard and packed up and prepared with Zhang Yue and Zheng Baiyu. At the end of the day, they led the accompanying fifty troops and horses and several servants. Under the gaze of many people in Tianshui City, Hao Hao They left Tianshui City in a grand manner and rushed to Wudang Mountain.

The four of them sat in a carriage together. Zhang Chuo and Zheng Baiyu were chatting and laughing in the carriage, while Li Jingxiong sat beside them and listened to their words. Although he did not speak, he kept giggling.Only Li Jingxuan did not participate in the laughter of the three of them, sitting alone in a corner of the carriage in a daze.

Li Jingxuan has been to Wudang countless times. Not only is he no stranger to the people or things in Wudang, he is as familiar with them as if he were at home.

The young man who was thought to be a fool by countless people sighed softly, remembering the first time he and his younger brother Li Jingxiong followed their father to Wudang Mountain, and met the old man Zhao Qingxi and Grandpa Zhao, who was called the old god by the world.

At that time, the kind-faced Wudang master who always liked to treat others with a squinted smile, when he saw him for the first time, he opened his clear eyes, said softly and solemnly, and said something that made everyone present think that Li Jingxiong was the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu. That sentence.

"Zhenwu see me."
