262, visiting from afar
Here Duan Zhengchun found an excuse and sneaked out of the hall. When he reached the side hall, he saw a girl dressed in black and wearing a black veil sitting upright.
Duan Zhengchun stepped forward and shouted, "Are you Wanqing?"
Mu Wanqing had heard Qin Hongmian explain everything clearly before, so naturally she didn't have much favorable impression of Duan Zhengchun. Under Qin Hongmian's education, she had been extremely disgusted with people who betrayed their heart since she was a child.
She said coldly: "My surname is Mu, you should just call me by my first name!"
Duan Zhengchun smiled awkwardly, knowing that she had resentment in her heart, so he said, "Miss Mu, did Hong Mian ask you to come?"
Mu Wanqing nodded and took out a small gold box from her arms.
"Baobao Gan gave it to you."
Gan Baobao is Qin Hongmian's junior sister, but Mu Wanqing calls her by her first name, obviously not respecting her at all.
Duan Zhengchun took the wooden box and said blankly: "What is this?"
"See for yourself." Mu Wanqing said angrily.
Duan Zhengchun shrank his neck and smiled. He felt guilty about his daughter, so he was willing to endure her temper.
He opened the wooden box and saw a small piece of red paper inside.
Duan Zhengchun was stunned. What was written on the red paper was Zhong Ling's birthday.
"It's great, I even sent you your birth date." A woman's cold voice came from behind, but Dao Baifeng also followed.
She was dressed as a Taoist nun, with her raised collar revealing her long, white neck.
The birthday numbers on the paper made Duan Zhengchun a little confused. He turned it over and looked at it again. He saw a line of very fine characters that read: "Sad and miserable, all thoughts are lost. However, a child cannot live without a father. Sixteen years ago, he came to court
I longed for you and waited for you to come. I had no choice but to return to the Zhong family in May of the year Yiwei."
Duan Zhengchun had let Gan Baobao down so much that his eyes suddenly turned red. Suddenly, with a thought, he understood the meaning of this line: "Bao Baobao married Zhong Wanchou in May of the year Yiwei, but Zhong Ling married Zhong Wanchou in early December of that year."
The five-year-old is probably not Zhong Wanchou's daughter. The baby has been waiting so hard for me to arrive, saying, "This is a child who can't live without a father." He also said that he married "out of necessity" because he was pregnant and could not have a child without marriage.
.Then this child Zhong Ling is my daughter..." After thinking about this, he blurted out: "Oh, no!"
Dao Baifeng asked: "What can't be done?"
Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything, just shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "This guy Zhong Wanchou... This guy is so evil-minded. He arranged such a poisonous plan to frame my entire Duan family. We must not... we must not form an alliance with him."
In-laws, this is not allowed under any circumstances!"
Dao Baifeng heard his hesitant words, obviously he didn't mean what he said. She took the red note from his hand and looked at it. After a moment of meditation, she understood the reason and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out...it turns out, haha,
This little girl Zhong Ling is also your illegitimate daughter."
"What?" Mu Wanqing on the side was also quite surprised. That girl Zhong Ling was also of Duan Zhengchun's blood? No wonder she always felt that she and Zhong Ling were particularly kind when they were together. It turned out that the two of them had such a blood relationship!
However, Duan Zhengchun is a bit too romantic. I never expected that his mother, Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao, both of whom were under the Shura Sword sect, are related to Duan Zhengchun!
Dao Baifeng had known for a long time that Duan Zhengchun had a romantic streak and showed mercy at every turn. But now, showing mercy has turned into leaving a mark. Fortunately, nothing happened between Yu'er and Zhong Ling, otherwise it would have been an injustice!
"You shameless bastard!" Dao Baifeng has been a nun for many years and is very well-educated. She couldn't help but curse. She became angry and slapped her backhand. Duan Zhengchun turned his head to avoid it.
"The child is still here, leave some thin noodles for me..." Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"You still know how to save face!" Dao Baifeng glared at him and stormed out.
Duan Zhengchun coughed lightly and turned around to talk to Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing ignored him, stood up and left.
"Miss Mu...Wanqing..."
Duan Zhengchun chased him all the way to the gate of the palace, but Mu Wanqing walked out without looking back.
He stood at the door and sighed, and was about to turn around and go back to the hall. Suddenly a family general came to the hall, bowed and said, "I have passed the Hulao Pass and asked to see the prince."
Guo Yanzhi? Duan Zhengchun thought that this Guo Yanzhi was the eldest disciple of Ke Baisui, the leader of the Funiu Sect. He was nicknamed "Soul Chasing Whip" and was said to have very good martial arts.
"But my Duan family has never had any contact with him. Why did he come all the way here?"
But no matter what, Duan Zhengchun had to see the guests when they arrived, so he sent someone to invite Gao Shengtai and the four guards to meet the guests in the flower hall with him.
After a while, a tall middle-aged man walked in. He was dressed in mourning clothes and wore a hemp hat. His face was dusty and his eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that there was a funeral in the family and a relative had died.
When he saw Duan Zhengchun, he bowed and said: "Henan Guoyanzhi pays homage to the prince."
Duan Zhengchun returned the courtesy and said: "I have come to Dali, but my younger brother Duan Zhengchun did not come far to greet you. Please forgive me."
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Guo Yanzhi started talking about business, but he came to see his uncle.
Duan Zhengchun looked at the four guards, but they didn't know who his uncle was?
Gao Shengtai also thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered a nickname he had heard before, and said to the servant next to him: "Go to the accounting room and tell Mr. Huo that the Henan Soul-Chasing Whip Master has arrived. He has something urgent to report to Jin Abacus."
'Senior Cui, please ask him to come to the hall to talk."
The servant agreed to go in. After a while, the sound of kicking footsteps was heard in the back hall, and a man came sloppily.
This wretched-looking old man walked out with a smile. It turned out to be Mr. Huo, who helped with the chores in the accounting room.
"It's true that the real person doesn't show his face." Duan Zhengchun thought to himself, but he didn't expect that this accountant turned out to be Cui Baiquan, the famous golden abacus in the world. Back then, he kept his name and kept accounts under the palace, but in the past ten years, he has not been exposed at all.
Duan Zhengchun was greatly surprised and raised his hands in greeting: "Mr. Huo, oh no, in front of Mr. Cui, Zhengchun is really short-sighted. Please forgive me."
Cui Baiquan was 70% drunk at this time and did not dare to be rude in front of Duan Zhengchun. Although he had a high seniority in the world, his martial arts power was not as good as that of Prince Duan in front of him.
He bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Cui is very grateful to the prince for taking him in these years. I am very grateful."
After that, he looked at Guo Yanzhi again and saw that he was covered in white. He asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you..."
Guo Yanzhi fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Uncle Cui, my master... master was... killed by others."
Cui Baiquan's expression changed drastically, and his scorched and lean face was instantly filled with a sinister and wary look, and he said slowly: "Who did it?"
Guo Yanzhi cried: "My nephew is incompetent. I can't find out the exact information about my enemy. But I guess he is probably a member of the Murong family in Gusu."
When it came to Gusu Murong, Guo Yanzhi lowered his voice.
A look of fear suddenly flashed across Cui Baiquan's face, but the fear passed quickly and he said in a deep voice: "This matter must be discussed in the long run."
Duan Zhengchun and Gao Shengtai both heard it clearly and looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.
Murong Fu happened to be a guest in the palace, so why did his "enemy" come to visit him in the blink of an eye? What a coincidence!
Guo Yanzhi also stopped talking, knowing that this matter was of great importance. Gusu Murong was very famous and powerful in the world. If it was really what they did, it would be too difficult to take revenge.
When the two of them were about to say goodbye, Duan Zhengchun suddenly said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Murong Fu from Gusu is a guest at his residence. Considering Mr. Murong's personality, I believe this must be a misunderstanding. You two are not as good as each other.
Come with me to meet Mr. Murong and clarify the misunderstanding face to face."
Guo Yanzhi looked at Cui Baiquan, meaning that he wanted his uncle to make up his mind. But Cui Baiquan smiled and said cheerfully: "Okay, then I'll ask the prince to lead the way."
Duan Zhengchun led the two of them to the hall, and just as he was about to introduce them to both parties, another general came up in a hurry.
"For your information, Your Majesty, the abbot of Shaolin Temple has sent two eminent monks to deliver a letter."
Shaolin Temple has been the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world since the early Tang Dynasty. When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he did not dare to neglect and asked Gao Shengtai to introduce Murong Fu to Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi on his behalf.
When Murong Fu saw Gao Shengtai leading two people over, one of whom was wearing white clothes, he frowned and felt that something was not right.
"Mr. Murong, these two are Senior Cui Baiquan of the Funiu Sect, and Daxia Guo Yanzhiguo."
"Senior Cui, Guo Daxia, this is Nan Murong, Young Master Murong Fu."
Guo Yanzhi looked at Murong Fu, unable to hide the hatred in his eyes. Cui Baiquan smiled and said: "It turns out it's Murong Fu from Gusu in person, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Gao Shengtai thought to himself, this Cui Baiquan is worthy of being an old Jianghu, he is really calm.
Murong Fu also had doubts in his heart, but he did not take the initiative to ask questions.
