Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 457.
For the time being, there is no need to pay attention to whether what Yang Guang said is right or not.

Besides, Li Zhen stepped down a few steps from Yu, and after leaving Li Yuan's mansion, he looked at the monk who came on the moon and shook his head:

"Why are you meddling in?"

"Amitabha, my friend is in trouble, why can't he come to help?"

Xuanzang still smiled gently.

After hearing this, it was Li Zhen who was full of emotion:
"Either you are an eminent monk."

"Not a bald donkey anymore?"

"..."

If it was normal, Li Zhen would definitely have to have a few words with Tang Seng.

But right now...he really doesn't care.

That disappointment cannot be faked.

So I didn't argue, and waved my hand:

"Let's do this tonight, I'm going to go..."

"Going to the east of the river?"

Xuanzang seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

Li Zhen was not surprised, nodded:

"Yeah. I thought about leaving tomorrow...but you just look at that room full of bastards... Bah, my teacher doesn't count. Hey."

There was another sigh, and the Taoist waved his hands:
"Don't mention it, I'm leaving tonight. On your side... Let's see you by fate."

Saying that he was about to leave.

But Xuanzang suddenly said:

"Daozhang, the city gate is closed at this moment."

"Uh……"

Li Laodao subconsciously looked up at the sky...

Immediately afterwards, I heard the monk say:

"The poor monk visited the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest treated me with meals. Right now, the White Horse Temple is right next to it. According to the Taoist priest's words, I have come here, so how can I leave without a cup of tea?...Besides, the poor monk has something else to do. Looking for the Daoist."

"Well……"

Feeling the fish suddenly getting farther and farther away from me.

Li Zhen, who thought that the teacher had left, thought about it and nodded:
"Forget it, let's go."

"Hmm~"

The smile on Xuanzang's face was even wider, and he held his hand to guide them. The two of them had just walked a few steps when they suddenly heard Li Zhen say:
"There are no eighteen bronze figures in the White Horse Temple, right?"

"...?"

Xuanzang was a little unresponsive.

And looking at his suspicious appearance, the Taoist, who temporarily suppressed all the unhappiness in his heart, said in a frivolous tone:

"It's fine if you don't! Let's go, I want to see if I offend the abbot later, can I run away!"

"???"

……

The back house of the mansion.

When the door of the study room was closed, the only guard in the entire yard was Li Zhong himself who was standing outside the door.

At this moment, the aged old butler is no longer that kind old man who is indifferent to the world.

It was replaced by a pair of extremely vigilant eyes.

Be wary of everything in the dark night.

His body is bent, like an old thin tiger.

This courtyard is his territory!
And behind the door...

Li Yuan was sitting on the main seat in the reception room of the study, and Li Shimin and Li Yuanba were standing together. It could be seen that, just as different from the mad dog just now, Li Yuanba had lost his temper.

Sickly following the second brother, he didn't even have the interest to pay attention to Li Shilang.

Nobody spoke.

Li Yuan, who knew the real situation, sat on a chair and looked at the woman standing in the middle of the living room... There was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Master Huqiu responded to his expectation.

Nor hide.

He took off the hat directly.

Looking at the middle-aged general sitting on the seat, there was a gentle voice mixed with complicated emotions in his eyes:
"father."

"..."

Li Yuan was speechless, just looked at the slightly black lips of the other party, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Li Shimin's eyes were a little excited, but he didn't say anything. He just poked the third brother who subconsciously raised his head following the sound of "Dad", and then completely froze.

"Yuanba, look who that is."

"..."

"...?"

"???"

"!!!!!!"

He no longer looked sickly like before, the boy looked at the woman who was smiling gently at him in front of him...

"what……"

"Abba..."

It was dull at first, then unbelievably stiff, and finally turned into a shrill howl of excitement:
"Sister!!!!!!!!!"

"Shh~"

The woman raised a finger, looking at her younger brother with unconcealable love in her eyes:
"Keep down, do you want everyone to know the identity of Sister?"

Before she finished speaking, the boy had already rushed in front of her.

As if he was afraid that sister would disappear suddenly, he hugged her tightly...

"Yuanba!"

Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly stopped:
"Be more careful! Can't you see that your sister's situation is wrong!"

"...?"

Li Yuanba was startled, and subconsciously let go of his hands. He watched Sister carefully for a few seconds, and suddenly his eyes began to turn red.

That bloody qi was about to rush out immediately.

Who!
Who hurt sister! ! ! !

But just when the animalism was about to erupt again, a hand was placed on his head:

"Yuanba, good boy~"

The woman's voice is gentle and kind:
"Don't mess around, sister can't stay too long...you are good, don't mess around."

Almost instantly, her voice calmed down all the mania in his brother's heart, revealing a cat-like expression of comfort.

And in this comfort, she looked at Li Shimin:
"This matter... I did wrong."

"No, sister, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman stopped him:

"Erlang, I understand what you mean. But I did make a mistake in this matter. I didn't expect that his desire to go to Hedong was so urgent. And you are forcing him to stay at this time. With his temper, there is no rush. That's why... oh..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin didn't understand.

But the eyes of Li Yuan who was sitting on the seat suddenly became... something wrong.

could not help but ask;
"Ning'er, you and that Taoist..."

"Dad. Time is urgent, so I'll make a long story short."

While stroking her brother's hair, the woman said directly:

"This matter is my fault. I will resolve the conflict between Erlang and him. I must also report tonight's incident through Baiqisi. There is nothing wrong with His Majesty, but... I only want to say two things First, what restricts you now is information. The reason why Erlang dared to confront him today is because of my instruction, but on the other hand, I didn’t talk too much about Li Shouchu before because he... is a trouble .”

After a pause, she continued:
"If some people want to know something about him, the more they know, they will inadvertently... get involved by him. So, I told Erlang, catch him, and watch him. But what I said The arrest is definitely not to let Erlang conflict with him, but in the final analysis, the reason why Erlang dared to force him to stay is because he doesn't know anything about this Taoist priest. This is the root cause. The reason why you don't understand is because you rely too much on me The news. If I had neglected it, it would have become what it is today. So, Erlang, I repeat, don't count on me, and don't be a blind man!"

"..."

"..."

Looking at the frowning two, the woman continued:

"Secondly, Erlang doesn't need to pay attention to Li Shouchu's side. In a few days it will be Emperor Wen's sacrifice. After the sacrifice, I will return to Taiyuan directly. And after I go down to Jianghuai, I will definitely be held back, and then..."

Speaking of this, her eyes became extremely serious:
"No matter what news you hear about me, don't pay attention to it. Because Li Shilang has nothing to do with our family! Don't let me... fall short!"

Then, she let go of the hand on her younger brother's head. Amid Li Yuanba's dissatisfaction, she nodded:
"I'll just say these two points, and the time is almost up. If I don't leave, I will definitely be suspected..."

"No! Sister, don't go!..."

She wanted to leave, but Li Yuanba was not happy.

But Li Yuan stopped drinking again:
"Let go!"

Li Yuanba shuddered, and subconsciously let go of sister.

And the middle-aged man sitting on the chair didn't get up, but just looked at his daughter and said word by word:

"Recently...have you slept soundly?"

The woman who was about to put on the bamboo hat paused and suddenly smiled.

Thousands of smiling pear trees are blooming, so beautiful that they are in a mess.

Nodding, she responded:
"Ah."

After finishing speaking, he put on the bamboo hat, and gently squeezed his younger brother who already had tears in his eyes, and said with a smile:
"You have to listen to daddy, you know? Sister will come to see you next time."

"Woooooooo..."

"...Okay, don't cry anymore."

Pulling her younger brother into her arms to comfort her again, she turned her attention to her father and second brother:

"Dad, take care. Erlang, remember my words, and then..."

After a pause, the words were mixed with strong expectations and uttered:

"Grow up quickly."

"...Well, let's go."

Hearing Dad's words, the struggling third brother was hugged by the second brother.

The woman's eyes looked through the bamboo hat, and after firmly remembering the person she was thinking about day and night, she turned her head and opened the door.

He and Li Zhong disappeared into the corridor of the night.

And in the backyard of the huge Li residence, there was only a slight cry echoing.

Get out, get in the car.

"My lord, go home?"

Hearing Li Zhong's question, a non-male and non-female voice came from the carriage:

"Go to the White Horse Temple."

"..."

There was no sadness or joy in Li Zhong's eyes, nor was there any accident. After nodding in agreement, he pulled the rein:
"drive!"

……

"Master."

Outside the meditation room, facing the moonlight, the monk looked at the dazed Taoist holding a teacup and asked in a gentle voice:

"Are you watching the stars at night? Or... are you angry?"

"Stargazing at night."

Li Zhen didn't even lower his head, but continued to look up at the moon and said something perfunctory.

Although his Taoist priest's entry into the White Horse Temple did cause a crowd of spectators, but fortunately Xuanzang's status was high enough, and after the two returned to the meditation room, they were quiet.

After hearing his answer, Xuanzang also raised his head to look at the starry sky, and said suddenly:
"Does the priest know what the poor monk is thinking?"

"I want to go to Xitian. Shall I give you a ride?"

"...ha~"

The monk laughed out loud when he saw that the Taoist had finally suppressed a bad fart from the moment he entered the temple.

Shaking his head slightly, standing with the Taoist, while looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, he gave the answer:

"The poor monk is waiting for someone."

"Are you looking good? Sure enough, you are not a serious monk!"

Li Laodao still keeps messing with people there.

As everyone knows...

The monk nodded openly:
"Yes, we are indeed waiting for another female benefactor."

"..."

Now Li Zhen was really speechless, and he stopped looking at the sky, and his eyes fell on the head of this obscene monk...

"Are you crazy?"

The twelve scars on the monk's head, which represent the monk's precepts, stand out in the moonlight.

But no matter how conspicuous it is, it can't compare to the light in his eyes that seems to see through many things.

Looking at the Taoist who was deeply trapped in the world of mortals, he smiled more and more gently.

"The poor monk is not crazy, and the female benefactor who is waiting is not here for the poor monk."

Li Zhen rolled his eyes:
"Aren't you coming at you little boy? What's wrong? Could it be that you're still coming at me?"

He didn't notice that he quietly said the wrong thing about his appearance, and the Taoist who gave up became more and more speechless.

But the monk smiled and nodded:

"It's not for the Taoist priest, but for whom?"

"...?"

As soon as the voice fell, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard door.
