Chapter 38: Ronger and the Bronze Medal
Wang Ling walked up to Taoist Xuankong, knelt down and saluted:
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your help!"
Turning to the little girl, he bowed again:
"Thank you little sister!"
The girl had never received such courtesy before, her face turned red and she didn't know what to say.
"Girl, I saw you using the Huashan Sword Technique. What is your connection with the Huashan Sect?" the Taoist asked.
"Reply to the Taoist Master, Zhan Yunfei, the leader of the Huashan Sect, is the little female master."
"Haha, it turns out we are a family. Did he ever tell you about having a senior brother?"
"He once said that there was a senior brother named Lu Yunpeng, but later he became a monk and became a Taoist." Wang Ling replied.
The Taoist priest stroked his wind-blown beard and said with a smile:
"I am Lu Yunpeng. I have been away from Huashan for more than thirty years."
Wang Ling quickly knelt down and kowtowed:
"Disciple Wang Ling pays homage to his master!"
"Okay, please get up. Ronger, come and meet your senior sister!"
When the girl heard that Wang Ling was her senior sister, she was very happy and bowed her head and said a blessing ceremony:
"Rong'er, see you, senior sister!" Although he is not very old, he salutes in a decent manner.
Wang Ling hurriedly returned the gift:
"Hello, junior sister!"
Ronger's big eyes flashed:
"Sister, your martial arts are so powerful. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to last a few rounds."
Wang Ling smiled and said:
"Also, if my uncle hadn't come with you today, I would have been defeated by him long ago."
At this time, Cao Cuizhu also came over to pay homage to the Taoist priest:
"My daughter Cao Cuizhu pays homage to the Taoist priest."
Wang Ling introduced:
"This is Miss Cao, the rich daughter of Governor Cao of Yingtian."
"Oh, Mr. Cao is upright and upright, well-known throughout the world and respected by the people!" the Taoist priest praised.
Wang Ling once indirectly heard someone tell the story between her master and this uncle.
It is said that the relationship between the two senior brothers has always been very good. Senior brother Lu Yunpeng has a cheerful personality and is carefree in his work.
Junior brother Zhan Yunfei is steady in his work and is highly appreciated by his master.
The master had a daughter who married his junior brother Zhan Yunfei. Later, when the master was dying, he also passed the position of head to him.
Senior brother Lu Yunpeng felt that his master was partial and passed Zhan Yunfei to him because he was his son-in-law. But where did he place this senior brother?
In a rage, he left Huashan, became a monk and became a Taoist monk, and never interacted with him again.
Thinking of this, Wang Ling asked:
"Excuse me, uncle, where is the Qing Dynasty now?"
"Pindao is stationed in a small Taoist temple in Wangwu Mountain. The name of the Taoist temple is 'Yangxin Temple'."
Wang Ling thought to herself, that meditation is just right for your character.
"Wangwu Mountain is thousands of miles away from here, why did my uncle and junior sister come here?"
The Taoist priest looked at Ronger and said:
"Ten years ago, a middle-aged couple and a two or three-year-old girl passed by Hongze Lake and met a group of robbers. The man possessed martial arts and fought bravely with the robbers. However, the robbers were outnumbered.
The man killed two people, but he and his wife were also seriously injured. Pindao happened to pass by that day and drove away the thieves. The couple was seriously injured and was dying. The man took out a bronze medal with difficulty, but did not have time to say a word
If you say that, the couple will leave and go west." After saying that, he took out a square bronze medal from his arms.
"Since then, this girl has been with me. She is Ronger. Because her parents left in a hurry, their identity has become a mystery. I don't even know Ronger's surname. I have also searched all over the country to find out about them.
There are clues about her origins. Unfortunately, there are no results. The only thing that is connected with her now is this bronze medal." The Taoist Master said and handed the bronze medal to Wang Ling.
The bronze medal is engraved with complex patterns, with the word "英" engraved in the middle of one side and a tiger head engraved in the middle of the other side.
The Taoist priest said again:
"Rong'er practices swordplay during the day and studies at night. Ten years have passed and she has grown into a big girl. She can't always be by my side. This time, I took Ronger out because I wanted to help her find her parents' life experience again.
It's an opportunity to let him get in touch with the outside world." Having said this, he pulled Ronger to his side and asked Wang Ling:
"Excuse me, niece, where do you live?"
"Returning to my uncle, my niece lives near the Forbidden City in the capital. She is now working as an errand in the East Factory, and the factory director Wang An is my niece's adoptive father."
Hearing that Wang Ling had such a great background, the Taoist priest beamed with joy:
"I happened to meet my niece today, and it was Ronger's good fortune. I want to entrust her to you, and you will treat her as your sister from now on. Her swordsmanship is already among the first-class masters, but due to her young age and strength
Not enough, my niece will need more teaching in the future."
Because Taoist Xuankong is Wang Ling's uncle, the words of the elders in the sect must be followed and there is no room for negotiation.
I was adopted as an adopted daughter by a prince when I was a child. I have no brothers or sisters. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to be happy to have a younger sister in the future? Besides, I also like this little girl very much.
She reached out and took Ronger into her arms, lowered her head and said to Ronger:
"Sister, just follow me from now on, and I will take good care of you!"
With tears in her eyes, Ronger looked at Taoist Xuankong and then at Wang Ling. She seemed to be extremely reluctant to leave Taoist Master in her heart.
The Taoist priest's eye circles were also a little red. He took off the scabbard on his back, put on the sword for Ronger, and said softly:
"Rong'er will study hard with my sister from now on. Listen to her, and the master will visit you often. In addition, be sure to keep that bronze medal. You may be able to find out the origins of your parents from it."
Rong'er couldn't bear it anymore and cried "Wow", hugging the Taoist priest and unwilling to let go.
The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, patted Ronger on the shoulder, and said nothing for a while.
Although they are not father and daughter, their relationship is better than that of father and daughter.
Wang Ling and Cao Cuizhu were both a little moved when they saw them saying goodbye.
After a long time, the Taoist priest handed Ronger's little hand to Wang Ling:
"I'm leaving, please!" After saying that, he glanced at Ronger again and turned away.
The little bird has grown up and will eventually leave the nest.
No matter how reluctant you are to leave, you will always have to face separation.
Wang Ling and Cao Cuizhu brought back a smart little girl. Everyone liked her very much and made fun of her.
Rong'er has lived in the mountains all year round and rarely sees outsiders. Now that so many people are playing, she is extremely happy.
Wang Ling briefly told Du Wenlin about Ronger's life experience, and then talked about today's fight with Wei Dongqing in Yanziji.
When talking about Xiaoqing and Wei Dongqing being together, Du Wenlin frowned.
He knew Xiaoqing's origin. He belonged to the Ji family near Yanziji. He and Wei Dongqing belonged to the "Future Star" of the "Dark Night Clan", and Wei Dongqing belonged to the Ying family. He didn't know how they got involved.
Went together.
If the two families named Ji and Ying join forces, it will be really troublesome.
You can find the residence of Yanzi Jiji's family through Sanniang, but what will happen if you find it? You can't rashly accuse the little girl of dating Wei Dongqing, right? In that case, wouldn't it be actively making enemies?
The three brothers Wei Dongqing and Ying are all members of the "Red Faction". They are fugitive criminals and can be hunted down.
But if the family surnamed Ji is also involved, things will become complicated.
If Sanniang were here, she might be able to help think of a perfect solution.
Unfortunately, I don't know where she is.
The Hu Jinsheng interception and murder case has been basically solved. The presiding officers Jin Changshun and Jin Fu are both dead. Except for a few of their followers who are on the run, most of their followers have been arrested.
The Changzhou sub-rudder, and its subordinates Wuxi, Nanjing, Jiaxing, and Xuancheng were all destroyed.
Therefore, this mission is basically completed, and it is time to return to Beijing to resume operations.
Du Wenlin came to the backyard and saw Cao Cuizhu accompanying her mother talking under a red hibiscus tree with many branches and branches, so he walked over:
"Hello mother, hello Cuizhu!"
Seeing that Du Wenlin had arrived, Mrs. Cao stood up first, with a twitchy look on her face and said unnaturally:
"My uncle is here. Cuizhu, please talk to your uncle while I go inside and tell the chef to prepare lunch."
Through this life and death incident, she admired Du Wenlin's ability from the bottom of her heart. However, she also developed a fear of him and tried her best to avoid him.
"Cui Zhu, I will return to Beijing tomorrow." Du Wenlin looked into Cui Zhu's eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say.
Cuizhu's face was full of melancholy. They had just gotten together and were about to say goodbye again. How could words express the feeling of attachment?
With tears in his eyes, he looked at his lover silently, hoping to express his infinite love with his eyes.
Du Wenlin was also very sad:
"I promised you that I would get married after my job was stable, but it has been delayed for half a year. I just started my official career and I have been traveling here and there all day long. I don't know when I will be able to settle down." The words were full of apologies.
Cuizhu said softly:
"As long as you are safe and sound, that is my greatest happiness! The ancients said, if two people are in love for a long time, how can they be together day and night? If a man cares about the world and puts his career first, how can he be burdened by the personal love of his children?"
The more she said this, the more uncomfortable Liu Wenlin felt, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Ignoring the eyes of everyone around him, he stretched out his arms and hugged Cuizhu's shoulders tightly.
After lunch, Mrs. Cao and Cuizhu exited the living room, leaving only Governor Cao and Du Wenlin in the room.
"Dad, we will return to Beijing tomorrow to resume our duties. There is still a lot of unfinished work here, and we need you to supervise the government offices below to complete it. The first is to hunt down the fugitive criminals as soon as possible, and the second is to report to the court and request an order to deal with the prisoners in custody. Because
There are many people involved and the scope is wide, so the task is heavy.”
"Well, you can go back without worries. I will handle it properly here." Governor Cao responded.
"Also, although the secrets that Mom is teaching are under control here, there is no guarantee that something will go wrong over there in the main altar, so we have to be careful. If there is a chance, I will try my best to eliminate the danger. At the moment, I can only take one step at a time and see what happens.
.At the same time, you must also be mentally prepared. If this matter is brought to the court, it will definitely affect you."
Governor Cao sighed and remained silent for a long time.
Du Wenlin took out several porcelain bottles from his arms:
"This is the antidote copied from Jin Changshun's house. I wanted to distribute it to the believers in prison, but there are so many people that it's a drop in the bucket, so it won't help. You can accept it for now and save your mother's life first. I will work hard to find a way to make it after I return to Beijing.
An antidote to the plight of these believers."
Governor Cao took the antidote:
"Thank you Wen Lin! If you hadn't dealt with it this time, I don't know what disaster would have happened to my family. Now it's finally under control for the time being."
Both of them understood that the dangerous fire had only temporarily controlled its spread and had not been completely extinguished.
Chapter completed!
