Mate
The first person Si Teng thought of was Li Chengqian.
"The gentleman who showed me your portrait paid and left. I don't know where he went. Miss, please come in and have your meal."
cuckoo
"Oh"
The rumbling sound of her stomach constantly reminded Si Teng that what she needed most at this moment was a full meal.
People cannot eat too much. When they are not full, they only have one worry, but when they are full, they have countless worries.
This wise saying is not only applicable to humans, but also to members of the Kar clan like Si Teng.
After eating half an elbow, the feeling of hunger disappeared, and sadness surged into Si Teng's heart.
The person who helped me arrange the meal could only be Li Chengqian, but why did he come to see me? Even if he was busy, he should have left a few words; was he angry with me because I left without saying goodbye?
Will he no longer want me from now on?
This shouldn’t happen. If he really blames me and doesn’t want me anymore, he won’t order food for me.
Si Teng was a little at a loss as to whether to continue wandering or return the same way; should she leave for his sake, or should she drink today and worry about tomorrow and stay by his side forever; even if he really ended up being defeated like King Zhou of Shang and King Overlord of Chu in the book, she was willing to be Su Daji or Yu Ji who would never leave him.
Forget it, let's take a step by step.
…………
Evening
Panda Hotel
"Is this Miss Si Teng?"
"Has anyone booked a room for me?"
Although the current Queen of the Kar tribe is a little naive, her understanding is beyond doubt. She was able to draw inferences from one example and discover the pattern.
"That's right, room number Qian on the top floor, please go upstairs, miss..."
"Ma'am, I finally got you."
Cheng Xiang and Cheng Hong were the two maids that Li Chengqian found for Si Teng before he left.
"How...how did you find this place?"
If Li Chengqian hadn't helped arrange it, she would have been sleeping on the streets; now that she met an acquaintance, Si Teng's face immediately blushed with shame.
"Madam, look here, is this your wallet?"
"Hey, why is my wallet here with you?"
How did Cheng Xiang get Si Teng’s wallet? Of course it was provided by the police station. With the Yuanguang Technique in hand, it was very easy for Li Chengqian to track Si Teng’s whereabouts.
The reason why I didn't look for her at the beginning was to let her experience the hardship of people's lives; it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go back to frugality; after experiencing Qin Fang's service, who would still care about Yan Furui?
According to Li Chengqian's idea, Si Teng has martial arts skills at least, and at worst she can follow Li Mochou's route and eat a free meal.
If I really meet an expert who is good at exorcising demons and defending justice, I can come forward to act as a hero and save the beauty. Then everyone will have a way out, and we can go back to the Governor's Mansion happily with me. Is there any better script than this?
But Li Chengqian obviously overestimated his fourth concubine. Si Teng, Si Teng, you are only as cruel as that mouth above.
Sleeping in a broken temple or on a tree, how could you possibly think of that?
Unable to bear seeing his beloved woman suffer, Li Chengqian finally softened his heart and made arrangements for the next two days.
…………
After taking a bath with the help of Cheng Xiang and Cheng Hong, changing into a brand new cheongsam and putting on a scarf made of ferret fur, Si Teng's queen style was finally restored.
"Madam, if you want to find the governor, you can just tell the guards. They will help arrange a car. Why bother walking to Star City alone?"
Cheng Xiang persuaded Si Teng while helping her tidy up her clothes.
"Star City, is this Star City?"
Si Teng, who had been wandering around the world with Qiu Shan, had no idea where to go, and then an ironic thing happened.
She wanted to stay away from Li Chengqian and didn't want to run away from home, so she traveled thousands of miles to look for her husband.
"Yes, this is the most prosperous business district in Star City. Madam, please have your meal first. The governor said he will come to take you home in a while."
"What, he's coming to pick me up?"
Although Si Teng thought about Li Chengqian all the time when she was quiet these days, she would still be shy if she really met him right away.
"Of course. This is the day when you, Madam, enter the Governor's Mansion. If you are not accompanied by the Governor, you will be looked down upon by the people in the Mansion."
Cheng Xiang explained the importance of Li Chengqian's accompaniment.
…………
Military Governor's Office
At this moment, Li Chengqian was on the phone with Wuzhu who was far away in Peking.
"I thought you were supposed to arrive the day before yesterday, but you only arrived today. It seems like the journey was not peaceful."
Wuzhu's journey from Xingcheng to Beiping was not only not peaceful, but the difficulty can be simply described as a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Bandits and local gangsters were just a small matter, and the most difficult warlords to deal with did not dare to make things difficult for them because of Li Chengqian's reputation as the governor of Hunan Province and the president of Xingcheng Military Academy. But even so, Wu Zhu and his men still encountered a big problem.
"Wen County, Hubei Province. You said you were attacked by ghosts when you passed through Wen County?"
Li Chengqian was particularly sensitive to the word Wenxian and always felt he had heard of it somewhere.
"It's a hair monster. Its attack method is somewhat similar to the fungus we encountered in Wu Qingzi's tomb, but they are completely different things. By the way, we were also attacked by paper people there..."
Wuzhu, who takes the technological route, is more or less curious about unscientific things.
"So how did you deal with them?"
"Use fire to burn them. They are just like those fungi and are particularly afraid of fire. By the way, Marshal, there is another secret under that ancient well. There are many runes and seals. I suspect there are some extraordinary things sealed inside."
Every strange incident and its solution was recorded in Wuzhu's memory, which made him a bit like a Saint Seiya and would not be hit by the same move twice; similarly, these experiences also helped to broaden his horizons and made him no longer have any shortcomings.
Chapter 428 Qiu Shan in Action
Wen County, Ancient Well, Hair Monster, Paper Figure
As Wu Zhu spoke, Li Chengqian's memory became clearer and clearer, and he already knew who the other party had met.
A puppet of the dark loli, yandere beauty, and folk craftsman Yue Qiluo.
"Because I had an escort mission, I didn't have any extra trouble with the people from the Demon Extermination Team. However, according to the commander's request, I left a silver coin you gave me at the bottom of the ancient well."
Wu Zhu on the other end of the phone continued to speak.
Li Chengqian gave his bionic robots a lot of silver coins engraved with the Flying Thunder God spell, so that he could travel freely to various places in the land of China.
"Well, you did the right thing. Since the things have been delivered to the Crescent Hotel, you can go out and have fun in Peking for the next few days. Just treat it as a vacation."
Wuzhu is a robot and can live without food, water or play, but the others can't; in order to make the members of the Demon-hunting Squad work for him with peace of mind, Li Chengqian is still very generous when it comes to spending money.
………………
There is only one suite on the top floor of Yuelai Hotel, which is the Qian room. It is like the presidential suite for funerals. Although it is cleaned every day, it is basically not occupied. Only when distinguished guests arrive will it condescend to open its doors.
"Hello, General!"
As soon as Li Chengqian entered the room, the two sisters Cheng Xiang and Cheng Hong greeted him together.
"Well, you go out."
Seeing Si Teng pretending to be calm while practicing calligraphy, Li Chengqian asked the two maids to leave.
"What are you doing?"
Si Teng had no intention of writing in the first place, and Li Chengqian's mischievous big hands made it so that she didn't even have the strength to hold the brush.
"What am I doing? You little bitch, you've really grown up to the point where you dare to run away from home. Today, I'll let you experience the rules of my Li family and see if you dare to do it again next time."
With a princess hug, Li Chengqian threw Si Teng hard onto the big bed.
As for the Li family rules, just like Lüshi Chunqiu, I have the final say in the Spring and Autumn Annals I wrote; the family rules set by Li Chengqian are naturally his.
What content?
I won't go into details about this, anyway, after learning the family rules, Si Teng's hardest mouth softened, and her whole body became soft as a ball.
"Come back to the Governor's Mansion with me tomorrow morning. From now on, just watch the plays and read the books. Don't let me get too involved and be moved by them."
The high-spirited Li Chengqian concluded.
Si Teng’s opinion?
If you don’t say anything, that means you have agreed. Acknowledgement means you agree, and agreement means you are wholeheartedly convinced.
………………
Changming Mountain
Ever since he was slandered as a demon, Qiu Shan had to live a life of hiding during the day and going out at night; he did not blame Li Chengqian, but hated Si Teng to the core.
Although the road ahead is tortuous, he did not give up; there will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean; as long as the Kar clan is not destroyed, my heart will not die.
Ever since he was deceived by a witch from the Kar tribe when he was young, which led to the destruction of the Xingyun Pavilion, Qiu Shan has grown very fast.
Whether in terms of character or strength, he is the best among his peers; but can one succeed just by having ability?
This is not the case. There is something called birth in this world, which also determines a person's success or failure.
All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.
Qiu Shan did not have such luck. His master's Xingyun Pavilion was unknown in Xuanmen. This also led to his two major wishes in his life. One was to destroy the Kar clan, and the second was to join Changmingshan, the authentic sect of Xuanmen.
This time, Si Teng had clearly revealed her true form, but why was Li Chengqian still so stubborn? In Qiu Shan's opinion, in addition to the fact that the other party was bewitched by her beauty, his own background was a big problem.
Because he was just a master of Xingyun Pavilion, his words had no weight. If he was born in Changming Mountain, Li Chengqian would believe him.
It was with this in mind that he traveled across mountains and rivers to come to this holy land of the Xuanshi Master and asked the respected old senior to help him make the decision.
"I am a new student who has just entered the Xingyun Pavilion and Qiushan, and I would like to see Taoist Master Li Zhengyuan..."
After all, Changming Mountain was not the Governor's Mansion, and its security was not strict. Qiu Shan easily arrived at the door of Li Zhengyuan, the headmaster of Changming Mountain.
"Qiu Shan, why did you come to see me?"
If it were said half a month ago, Li Zhengyuan had definitely never heard of this name; but times have changed, and now Qiu Shan's name is like thunder in his ears.
"The evil woman Si Teng of the Kar tribe has deceived Li Chengqian, the governor of Hunan Province, and brought chaos to the people. I beg you to come out and take charge of the situation and put things right."
After wandering around for many years, Qiu Shan is still very good at praising people, and his words made Li Zhengyuan feel very comfortable.
"The demon girl Si Teng of the Kar tribe deceived the governor of Hunan Province. Do you have any real evidence to support your statement?"
The governor of a province is no small matter. If he is really deceived by the Kar tribe and does something harmful to the Xuanmen, Changming Mountain, as the authentic sect of the Xuanmen, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. Li Zhengyuan dare not be negligent in the slightest.
"How dare a junior tease you with such a thing? Li Chengqian's fourth concubine Si Teng is a demon girl from the Kar tribe. It was because I discovered this by chance that I was wanted by him..."
Next, Qiu Shan told Li Zhengyuan the story.
In his story, he did not adopt the Kar tribe, nor did he have any ill intentions and let the Kar tribe kill each other. He only eliminated demons and defended the way.
"If this is true, I will definitely take care of it for you, except for this witch Si Teng..."
I have to investigate this as well. I can't just accept whatever you say as the truth.
"Thank you, senior. You are indeed a man of high moral character and righteousness."
Qiu Shan was not afraid of Li Zhengyuan's investigation at all, because as for what he could find out, he did not lie. As for what he could not find out, who would really care about it?
As long as the identity of Si Teng Ku's clan was confirmed, he didn't believe that the people of Xuanmen could tolerate such a dangerous person around Li Chengqian.
Because the matter was of great importance, Li Zhengyuan mobilized the forces of Xuanmen's "Four Gates, Seven Caves and Ninety-Nine Streets" that night and began to investigate the matter.
The so-called "four gates, seven caves and nine streets", "four gates" refer to China's four famous Taoist mountains: Mount Qingcheng, Mount Wudang, Mount Longhu and Mount Qiyun; "seven caves" refer to the seven caves of Kongtong, Ziyang, Yunxiao, Magu, Taoyuan, Baihe and Yushan; and "nine streets" refer to the nine streets and alleys, which are nine households in the markets in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest.
They were the most central force in Xuanmen at the time, and were very prestigious both officially and among the people.
With everyone's help, a week later, the identity of the Si Teng Kar clan was finally verified by them.
"Brother Li, you are highly respected and you are the one who should make the decision for us."
In seven days, they not only confirmed Si Teng's identity, but also understood some of Li Chengqian's strength.
