Master of the World [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 234 1 The Spring River Flows Eastward 16
In the evening, everyone gathered together.
Before the food was served, Tian Guangyuan personally poured wine for everyone present: "It's been a few days, thank you for your hard work."
When he arrived at Zhao He's place, he looked at Tian Guangyuan with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and instead of saying compliments, he frowned.
Tian Guangyuan looked around the crowd, "Why didn't that little brother Wan come?"
Mentioning Lin Xun, Zhao He became angry for no reason, and he was already preoccupied. He glanced at the door and said angrily: "Wan Liyun is not well-known, but he is completely elusive when he does things."
He raised his eyes: "How many times can everyone here see him in a day?"
A few acquaintances whispered that they didn't have a good impression of Lin Xun, but when they first met, Zhao He was beaten to the ground without any effort, so no one said anything sarcastic.
Only the Taoist priest with a goatee touched his chin: "Three times."
Everyone looked at him together.
The Taoist priest with a goatee said seriously: "According to my observation, he has never missed a meal."
Slender maidservants came with sumptuous delicacies, and when the last dish was served, Lin Xun's figure Chaha appeared outside the gate.
He didn't notice the different faces of the people, and Wu Que's attention was both attracted by the exquisite dishes, "I didn't expect it to come just in time."
The corners of the eyes of the people at the dinner table, including Tian Guangyuan, couldn't help but twitch, which was a bit too coincidental!
As soon as Lin Xun took his seat, the atmosphere on the field was slightly weird, but everyone was old Jianghu, and the conversation soon started.
A man in a black and white Taoist robe said: "I have been in contact with the servants of the mansion for a few days, but unfortunately there is nothing unusual about them."
Discussing about the frequent murders in the house before coming here, Lin Xun looked out of state and should eat and drink, Wu Que occasionally listened to a sentence or two, felt quite boring, and started to concentrate on eating, and Zhao He, his state is obviously not right, he didn't move his chopsticks, just drinking, and occasionally his eyes fell on Tian Guangyuan inadvertently.
This scene was seen by Lin Xun. He slowed down the speed of picking up vegetables, and the corner of his mouth curled up. It seemed that Zhao He had discovered something.
On the surface, everyone is enjoying themselves happily, but in their hearts, they are constantly calculating. It would be too embarrassing to come to the Tian Mansion and get nothing.
"To tell you the truth," Tian Guangyuan said at the right time, "Two or three servants ran away from the house in the past few days, and I can't tell whether the night ghosts in the house frightened them, or I have a guilty conscience."
The Taoist priest with the goatee frowned: "If there is a night ghost among them, it would be a waste of time to let him escape."
"I said long ago that the servants and maids should be checked one by one before then."
Everyone reacted differently, Tian Guangyuan sighed: "It's the old man who didn't think carefully, but if we really want to investigate, there are so many people, it will inevitably make people panic."
"Elder Tian doesn't need to blame himself, there is no perfect way in the world."
"Indeed," Zhao He said abruptly, "Fortunately, there is still a remedy. Now we can only conduct investigations in private to make sure everything is safe. I can leave with peace of mind."
This sentence sounded like he was worried about Tian Guangyuan, but Lin Xun, who knew some inside information, thought it was a bit funny. Sure enough, no matter what temperament Luodengguan had, even Zhao He, who felt that he was invincible, was treacherous in his bones.
Tian Guangyuan suddenly became unnatural, repeatedly refusing.
"The old man feels sorry for delaying you for so long."
Zhao He: "Nowadays, the peace of the world is inseparable from your contribution, Mr. Tian, and I will do my part, as it should be."
Wu Que covered her lips with her hands, and whispered to Lin Xun: "He can just go by himself, and 'I'll wait' is really enough."
Tian Guangyuan: "Forget it, Mr. Zhao is a role model for the younger generation to worship Luodeng Temple. If you really have the heart, I dare to ask Mr. Zhao to give you advice."
Zhao He was taken aback: "What are the pointers?"
Tian Guangyuan said with a smile: "In a short while, there will be a grand lighting event, and the dog is not talented, so he also signed up to participate."
The lighting event is a major event for Taoist priests, and Zhao He also attaches great importance to it. He is eager to go out to practice because he hopes to make some fame, so that the audience can notice, and he is selected as one of the contestants to participate in the battle.
Because of the Tian family's meritorious service in rescuing the family, the imperial court specially allocated a quota. At this moment, Tian Guangyuan took the initiative to mention this matter, and a long-awaited event gradually came to everyone's mind.
One of them said: "A few years ago, the second son of the Tian family was rumored to have excellent qualifications among the younger generation. I had a relationship with Mr. Ling in the past. With his own strength, he successfully deployed a dozen generals in the Seven Star Formation. Ghost Slayer, it still made me feel for a long time at that time, the world is really green out of blue."
"That's right, why is it the eldest son, not the second son?"
Lin Xun finally raised his head and no longer focused on the food in front of him. If it was true what the Taoist priest said, the second son of the Tianfu formed the Seven Star Array with his own hands, and he is indeed a rare talent.
"The child is very playful, running around the world, and does not leave a message at home. The old man is worried that he will not come back before the lighting event."
Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the quota for the lighting event is hard-won. If it is wasted, not only will the royal family be displeased, but the Tian family will also lose a chance to stand out.
Lin Xun asked in a low voice: "Is there still a place to fight for?"
Wu Que: "That's not all. It's just that there are requirements for ordinary people and officials. Each state can recommend one person. Officials, including their relatives, want to participate with the special approval of the royal family. However, Taoist temples don't have this hidden worry. The lantern festival is originally a Taoist temple. Letting the emperor preside over the competition between them is just because everyone can't trust each other and is afraid of playing tricks during the competition."
He stopped and looked at Lin Xun puzzled: "You are also a Taoist priest, why don't you seem to understand anything?"
Lin Xun looked calm, but he said in his heart that he is the big boss that you little Taoist priests want to fight, how could he be interested in such things.
Zhao He agreed to stay and guide for a few days, and several Taoist priests also agreed to give advice. Tian Guangyuan was overjoyed.
The Taoist priest with the goatee said apologetically, "I'm going to meet my old friend. He's in some trouble."
Tian Guangyuan: "No problem, I am very grateful to be here."
After speaking, he ordered the housekeeper to get a mahogany box, and when he opened it, there was a pearl the size of a fist. The Taoist priest with a goatee tried to evade it to no avail, but finally chose to accept it.
Tian Guangyuan turned his attention to Lin Xun, who had not expressed his opinion yet: "Where's little brother Wan?"
Lin Xun said lightly: "I originally planned to leave in the afternoon..."
Zhao He interrupted suddenly, "We're all about to leave, so why come back?"
Lin Xun pointed to the similar Chinese food, "Cengfan."
"..."
When everyone froze for a moment, he slowly raised his hand and touched Wu Que's head: "Are you full?"
Wu Que nodded.
In fact, because of the mask, he didn't eat to his heart's content, but after a bowl of rice, he was full.
Lin Xun stood up, put the chair back to its original position, and nodded at Hirohara: "Then we will take our leave."
Two figures, one big and one small, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tian Guangyuan prided himself on being very tolerant, and usually looked like a good-natured person, but at this time there was a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Forget it," someone advised him: "In our line of business, people with good strength often have a bad temper, so don't take it to heart."
The rest of the people, except Zhao He, also nodded. It would be unwise to offend a Taoist priest who doesn't know how deep he is for a meal.
Tian Guangyuan's chest rose and fell violently, took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
……
"Isn't it good for us to come out like this?" Wu Que still had a conscience.
Lin Xun glanced at him: "Wipe off the sauce on the corner of your mouth first."
Wu Que licked it with her tongue, "And Tian Guangyuan obviously has evil intentions, so you are going to let go of the burden?"
Lin Xun: "He cares so much about the lighting event, he must have set up a big picture, and the investigation in the Tianfu will inevitably be tied up. It's better to follow his way of thinking to save time and effort."
Wu Que was silent.
Lin Xun: "What are you thinking?"
"The matter of the fire gathering formation has not been clarified yet. There are many suspicious things in the Tian Mansion. It seems that there are conspiracies and tricks everywhere."
Lin Xun: "Maybe there is some connection between them."
Wu Que: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
"I don't think it's a coincidence that strange things happen one after another."
Wu Que felt that this person's thinking was always too complicated, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he asked some practical questions: "Where do I go to find the second senior brother?"
Lin Xun stopped, and suddenly struck Wu Que's chest with a palm, and barely stopped at the place separated by a layer of clothes.
Wu Que broke out in a cold sweat, and when he calmed down, he found that he was surrounded by a group of men in black, who were facing Lin Xun's direction while raising their swords.
Lin Xun stopped: "Take me to see your master."
The men in black looked at each other, and finally all looked at the one in the middle, who said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go ask for instructions, and the rest stay here."
Wu Que: "They are..."
Lin Xun smiled: "Did you really think that your senior brother would leave by himself with such peace of mind and hand you over to me?"
Wu Que looked at the man in black and frowned: "Are you two brothers?"
One of them showed the pattern on his arm, which is the unique family emblem of the Nan family: "By the Lord's order, protect Mr. Wu."
Wu Que looked at this situation, raised her head and said, "I feel my importance."
Lin Xun said perfunctorily: "That's right, the light of the future in Luodengguan."
Not long after, the man in black returned, nodded and said, "You two, please follow me."
Before the food was served, Tian Guangyuan personally poured wine for everyone present: "It's been a few days, thank you for your hard work."
When he arrived at Zhao He's place, he looked at Tian Guangyuan with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and instead of saying compliments, he frowned.
