Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 365: End of Volume - Their Endings
In the plot, Murong Fu went crazy, but here he is not only not crazy, but he also became the prince consort of Western Xia. He has done his best to be his adopted son.

"Okay, okay, I'm just complaining. Dad loves his grandson so much, how could I treat him badly?"

Or maybe it's just that A Zi is good at coaxing people.

Chu Pingsheng took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it over: "This... give it to your mother. She is the best at handicrafts. When the ice silk is delivered, remember to use colored thread to embroider the inside of the shirt when you make it."

Ah Zi took it and opened it, only to see lines that looked like ghost paintings on it.

"What is this?"

"Martial arts secret book."

"Martial arts secrets?"

Ah Zi was shocked. She and Mu Wanqing read it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what it meant.

Chu Pingsheng said: "Don't look at it. Only those with great intelligence and comprehension can understand it."

The two looked depressed, blaming him for being merciless, and almost saying that they were poorly qualified. However, when they calmed down and thought about it, it was normal. In the martial arts world today, who doesn't know the name of Monk Kongxu? He killed the Liao Emperor, slashed the gate of Shaolin Temple with his sword, fought against ten thousand with one horse, swept through thousands of troops, and pierced Wanyan Aguda's head with one finger. How could the martial arts he left to his precious grandson be common stuff that everyone can understand?
Little did they know that anyone who grew up in this land, no matter how talented, would never be able to comprehend the martial arts secrets left by Master Kongxu to his eldest grandson. On the contrary, people a thousand years later, as long as they had received nine years of education, would have no difficulty understanding it, because those scrawled symbols together meant "I am your father."

"Hey, Zhu Danchen, you must be Zhu Danchen, right?"

When Ah Zi gave up the idea of ​​comprehending the secret book, she folded the rice paper and put it in her arms. She turned her head and saw a scholar with a goatee standing in the crowd watching them. He looked very much like the scholar among Duan Zhengchun's personal guards.

"Miss A Zi has good eyesight."

Zhu Danchen walked forward with a laugh, followed by a man dressed as a farmer. He was Fu Sigui, the third son of the Fishermen, Woodcutters, Farmers and Scholars family.

"Master of Emptiness, Miss Wood."

The two men first greeted Chu Pingsheng, and then greeted Mu Wanqing.

Chu Pingsheng asked, "Why are you two here in Jiangnan instead of assisting Duan Yu in Dali?"

Duan Yu inherited the throne of Dali Emperor last year. In order to win over Chu Pingsheng, Duan Zhengming gave him the title of national teacher. Duan Yanqing certainly would not compete for the throne with his own son. Three months after Duan Yu ascended the throne, he went to Songshan to visit Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu who were guarding Xuan Ci's tomb, and then traveled around the world and disappeared.

Zhu Danchen replied: "It was His Majesty who asked us to come to Jiangnan."

"Let's talk while we walk." Chu Pingsheng led the two of them out of the city: "Duan Yu asked you to come? What's the matter? Is it important?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal. Next month is the prince's birthday, and His Majesty sent us to deliver something to Mantuo Villa."

When the truth was revealed, Duan Zhengchun couldn't bear it and went crazy. Dao Baifeng was forced to stay in Chanhe Manor by Chu Pingsheng. Even if Duan Zhengming was unhappy, he dared not say no. After Duan Yu ascended the throne, it was even more impossible for Duan Zhengchun to return to Dali. After Dao Baifeng compromised with reality, she did return to Dali to visit her relatives several times.

Ah Zi said, "Li Qingluo has been in a bad mood recently. Give me the things and I will help you deliver them."

She had good intentions, because Li Qingluo harbored deep hostility towards the people of Dali and was afraid that they would take Duan Zhengchun away. When Duan Yu and Zhong Ling got married, Gu Ducheng and Chu Wanli came to deliver the message and were chased three miles away by Li Qingluo with a sword.

"This……"

The two knew that she had good intentions, but she was a holy figure after all.

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Liu Niang. She is Duan Zhengchun's biological daughter."

Ah Zi had calculated this matter very clearly. Wu Xingyun looked the youngest but was actually the oldest, so she was the eldest aunt. Dao Baifeng was the second aunt, Gan Baobao was the third aunt, her mother was the fourth aunt, Wang Yuyan was the fifth aunt, and Mu Wanqing was the sixth aunt.

She called him "Sixth Lady" naturally, and the scoundrels who were following the strange family to watch the fun were very unhappy. It was fine for a monk to marry a wife, but he married six at once? Just look at how pretty this Sixth Lady was. The first few must be no worse. Can this be tolerated? Of course not, so they discussed to report to the authorities and punish the monk for violating public morals. It would be best if he was sent to prison or exiled to the frontier.

However, just as he finished his plan and before he could put it into action, he was beaten up in the street by a group of yamen runners disguised as civilians. This attracted the attention of the people who were watching the lively life of Chu Pingsheng's family and they took a closer look at the plainclothes police beating.

Although the Song court was cowardly, its "eyes" and "ears" were not blind. The fact that Monk Kongxu was living in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River had long been reported to the higher authorities by local officials, and the army was mobilized to be on guard. The emperor did not dare to do anything, and after much deliberation, he issued a secret decree to "take close care of him and report any movement as soon as possible." For this purpose, the Suzhou government specially created the job of a lake watcher, who stayed near Taihu Lake day and night to collect information about Chanhezhuang.

The Suzhou prefect had already known about the monk taking A Zi, Mu Wanqing and You Tanzhi into the city to shop, and had secretly assigned people to follow and serve them in order to avoid any trouble. If the monk got angry, the person sitting on the dragon throne would have to sit on the brazier.

Now a few stupid and ignorant rascals want to cause trouble and run into the muzzle of the gun. How can they be let off easily? Not to mention the prefect, the plainclothes yamen runners who were hidden in the crowd wanted to beat these blind guys to death in the street.

Chu Pingsheng knew what was happening behind him, but he didn't care. As retainers of the Dali royal family, Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui could naturally understand the logic of the incident and didn't take the riots on the street seriously. After thinking for a moment, they took out the wooden box in their pockets and handed it to Mu Wanqing.

They thought A Zi's words made sense. That perverted woman Li Qingluo would not care about their identities or who ordered them to go to Mantuo Villa. Her mother was the Queen Mother of Western Xia and her son-in-law was the best martial artist in the world. As long as she did not seek death and went against her son-in-law, no one would dare to say that she had lived enough even if she sat on the throne in the Golden Palace. If Li Qingluo really got angry and killed them with a sword, then they would have died in vain.

"What...is in here?" Mu Wanqing's steps became heavier as she put the brocade box in her arms. It felt heavy and a little bulky in her hands.

Zhu Danchen had a strange expression on his face and he hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

This detail aroused Ah Zi's curiosity, and she snatched the brocade box and opened the lid.

"It's so mysterious... I have to see what's inside."

After she finished speaking, she saw what was in the box, her eyes were first puzzled, then shocked, and finally her face turned red.

Mu Wanqing's expression was similar to hers.

"Ah, disgusting..."

With a scream, the wooden box slipped out of his hand, and a cylindrical glass jar fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. Turbid liquid spilled all over the floor, and a pungent smell of medicine filled the air.

Zhu Danchen's blood boiled and his head felt like it was going to explode.

"Miss A Zi, how could you...how could you...beat it?"

Ah Zi didn't react for a moment, she put her hands on her waist and said arrogantly: "You still have the nerve to criticize me? It's the birthday of the Zhennan King next month, what's the meaning of you sending this here? My brother is definitely not such a despicable person. Tell me, did you two do this?"

"This...this..." Fu Sigui's face was pale. He surrounded the things on the ground. He wanted to pick them up, but he had concerns. If he didn't pick them up, more and more people would gather around him. He was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his face.

As he hesitated, passers-by saw the object. The men stared at it, while the women covered their faces and walked away. There was also a playboy who laughed out loud and sighed that those people were ridiculous.

Zhu Danchen stamped his feet fiercely and said anxiously: "This belongs to the prince!"

The prince's?
The Prince of Zhennan’s?

Her biological father's?!
"what?"

Ah Zi, who turned her back to Mu Wanqing and did not want to look at anything indecent, recalled the past when she was knocked over by Beisu Qingfeng in the front hall of Mantuo Villa. At that time, the monk father exposed the fact that the Prince of Zhennan was castrated by Kang Min. Unexpectedly... the piece of meat that fell off was still there? And was it sent to Jiangnan by Duan Yu? And the thing soaked in the glass bottle she just broke was that?
You Tanzhi stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck, finally getting a wide enough view to carefully observe the differences between the prince's treasure and his own.

"You Tanzhi, stop looking! If you look again, I'll poke your eyes out."

Faced with A Zi's threat, he could only agree sullenly, retract his head, and put his heels down, feeling quite unhappy.

"You did a good job!"

Mu Wanqing hated to strangle this cheap daughter to death. After all, she was the treasure of their biological father... Then again, the same was true for Duan Yu. Even if the Prince of Zhennan was not his biological father, he had raised him for twenty years. How could he do such a thing?
That was her fault.

In fact, Duan Yu also had good intentions.

More than a year ago, Duan Yanqing, Yue Laosan, Yun Zhonghe and Murong Fu abducted Duan Zhengchun to Jiangnan. Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui were also injured to varying degrees. The former recovered his mobility first and came to Taihu Lake to inquire about the situation. He had a conflict with the people from Mantuo Villa. Finally, Duan Yu came forward and wrote a letter, asking him to take it back to Dali and give it to Duan Zhengming.

Since it was the prince's order, Zhu Danchen did not think much about it. He first returned to Xinyang City to meet up with Fu Sigui and prepared to head south. When he was packing Duan Zhengchun's personal belongings, he discovered the brocade box, so the two of them packed up the things and took them back to Dali.

Duan Yu ascended the throne last year and later discovered this in the Prince of Zhennan's Palace. He knew that his cheap master would not let Dao Baifeng return to Dali, and the same was true for Li Qingluo, so he thought of asking someone to send his adoptive father's treasure over after he and Zhong Ling got married. However, he was busy and forgot about it. It was not until Duan Zhengchun's birthday was approaching that he remembered that this great treasure was still in the Prince of Zhennan's Palace. So he ordered Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui to send it to Jiangnan as soon as possible so that Duan Zhengchun's body could be preserved when he was buried a hundred years later.

Duan Yu and Zhu Danchen had a good relationship since childhood. Once, when he drank too much, he talked drunkenly about the fact that Prince Zhennan was castrated by Kang Min. Zhu Danchen knew what was in the box. After listening to what A Zi said, he was naturally worried that if this thing was given to Li Qingluo, it might anger her. So there was a scene where he asked Mu Wanqing, his own daughter, to pass it on, and things evolved to this point.

"Third brother, what are you still hesitating about!" Zhu Danchen reminded.

Fu Sigui closed his eyes, made up his mind, and stretched out his hand to grab the indecent thing, but he grabbed nothing. His five fingers touched the cold blue bricks. He was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, and saw a mangy dog ​​coming out from nowhere. Perhaps it had been hungry for many days, and it actually grabbed the treasure of the King of Zhennan and swallowed it into its stomach in no time.

……

……

……

Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui stood there in a daze.

Mu Wanqing and A Zi were also dumbfounded.

Only You Tanzhi, whose eyes were blocked by the cardboard box, could not see what happened, but he knew that something must have happened.
