Upon hearing this name, Qin Rushuang's eyes lit up visibly.
When they set off from Kyoto and rushed to Nanman, they had actually passed by the village where Taoist Lianqing was located. However, the situation was urgent and they were afraid of causing trouble to the village, so they simply bypassed it and did not go to see the master.
As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, it is already a very serious crime to pass through the house without entering. Now the master came to find her, how could he not see her?
So Ling immediately changed back to the palace man and said, "Okay, I'll go over right away and ask them to wait a moment."
Xie Xun was not willing to let Qin Rushuang come into contact with Mu Duo and others at first.
But when he heard that Qin Rushuang's master was coming, he also knew the priority of the matter, so he did not stop Qin Rushuang.
But when Qin Rushuang went out, she silently followed behind with her child in her arms.
Qin Rushuang noticed someone following behind her, paused, and said to Xie Xun, "Actually, the prince doesn't have to follow me. You know that my master has some prejudices against you..."
Xie Xun also knew that Taoist Lianqing probably didn't want to see him.
To be honest, he didn't really want to go.
But he still took a deep breath and said to Qin Rushuang: "An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. I will pass this test of Taoist Lianqing sooner or later."
After hearing what he said, Qin Rushuang endured it, but in the end she couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "Why do you want to pass my master's level? The relationship between us was originally just a cooperative relationship."
Xie Xun was stung by his words, but his face still had a calm expression.
"Even if it's a cooperative relationship, I should go see your elders. Let's go. Don't let him wait too long."
In the reception hall.
When Mu Duo learned that Taoist Lian Qing was coming, he not only called Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun, but also his father and mother came.
The two of them were naturally very grateful to Taoist Lianqing.
If Taoist Lian Qing hadn't come to the rescue, their only son would have died long ago.
Therefore, although the two of them were the masters of a country, they allowed Taoist Lianqing to sit at the top and the two of them sat at the bottom.
Taoist Lianqing is neither humble nor arrogant. If he is asked to sit on the throne, then he will sit down.
While chatting, Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun arrived.
Qin Rushuang was naturally a little excited when she saw Lian Qing arrive. She hadn't seen her master for a long time.
He quickly stepped forward and knelt down to salute Taoist Lianqing.
Taoist Lian Qing stood up and supported her: "Between you and me, master and disciple, there is no need to perform these false rituals, just sit down."
Xie Xun was obviously standing very close to Qin Rushuang, but Taoist Lianqing seemed not to have seen him from beginning to end. He helped Qin Rushuang sit down and asked Qin Rushuang a few questions about the child during the dinner.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qin Rushuang finally sat down.
When Xie Xun saw that Taoist Lian Qing didn't pay attention to him, he also held the child and sat down next to Qin Rushuang.
But before his butt even touched the chair, he heard a shout from above, "Did I let you sit down?"
Xie Xun raised his head and saw that Taoist Lianqing was indeed looking at himself.
Xie Xun stood up again silently holding the child. Taoist Lianqing snorted coldly: "Prince Huai?"
"It's down there."
"come over."
Xie Xun paused and walked up to Taoist Lianqing with his child in his arms.
Everyone felt the unusual atmosphere around these two people, and even stopped drinking tea for a while, wanting to see what Taoist Lianqing was going to say to Xie Xun.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Taoist Lian Qing slapped the table and said loudly: "Kneel down!"
Everyone thought Xie Xun would be angry, but they didn't expect Xie Xun to kneel down with a clean plop.
But his obedient attitude did not please Taoist Lianqing. Taoist Lianqing still had a cold face and asked, "Do you know why I want you to kneel down?"
"I am a junior, and my junior uncle wants me to kneel down, so of course my junior uncle has his own reasons."
"Hmph, who asked you to call me Junior Uncle? You can't even figure out the seniority! I see that you are not unfair at all when you kneel down! I am not his Junior Brother, I am his Senior Brother! Although he is a few years older than me, but I
My skills are superior to his, so call me little uncle!"
The "he" mentioned by Taoist Lianqing naturally refers to Xie Xun's master, Taoist Yiqing, who is far away in Daqi.
The two have disliked each other all their lives, and the relationship between the two protégés has been constantly cut and messed up...
Xie Xun complied and called him "Master Uncle". Taoist Lian Qing's face looked better now.
"Going back to what happened just now, do you know why I asked you to kneel down?"
"First of all, because of the harm you did to Rushuang in the past and because you didn't understand people well, you fed her sincerity to the dog! You made her suffer a lot, so you have to kneel down!"
"Secondly, because you were joking with your own life at the border! Even if you see her eagerness, you can't use Daqi's border as a bet! Do you know that you deliberately injured yourself and pushed the border people into a dangerous situation? Although later,
You and your wife are trying to turn the tide, but this kneeling is for the people at the border!"
"Thirdly, because you are a husband but have failed to fulfill your duty to love your wife, and as a father you have failed to fulfill your nurturing grace! The mother and son who escaped from death have been working for you for so long, but I, the master, don't even think about it.
Come take a look!”
"Do you think you should kneel down? Are you unjust?"
"It's time to kneel down. It's not unfair."
Seeing that Xie Xun's attitude was so good, Taoist Lianqing finally suppressed his anger.
He winked at Mu Duo and said, "Take the child away for him, don't say I bullied him."
When Mu Duo heard this, he happily took the child away from Xie Xun's arms. He was naturally happy to see Xie Xun eat the turtle.
After seeing the child in Xie Xun's arms being taken away, Taoist Lian Qing said, "Don't kneel in front of me. It's an eyesore. Find a corner and kneel down by yourself."
Xie Xun didn't resist, just stood up, walked behind Qin Rushuang, and knelt down silently.
Qin Rushuang was silently watching Taoist Lianqing deal with Xie Xun, when someone suddenly came and knelt down behind her with a plop, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Taoist Lian Qing saw through her thoughts, waved his hand and said, "He owes you, and he will never be able to pay it back in this lifetime. You just asked him to kneel down for a moment and a half. You must not be soft-hearted."
Qin Rushuang immediately said to Taoist Lianqing, "Master, you have misunderstood. He and I are just cooperating now..."
"You don't have to tell me this. Whether you really love each other or you are a couple on the surface, since you have chosen to be together, you should work together!"
Just as Taoist Lian Qing finished speaking, Mu Duo suddenly interjected, "Of course they act like a couple on the surface, how can they really love each other..."
He didn't speak at first, so Taoist Lian Qing hadn't noticed him yet. But as soon as he spoke, Lian Qing got angry again: "Okay! You still have the nerve to speak out! And you!"
"Don't tell others that you are my apprentice when you go out in the future! Your senior sister asked you to do something big, and you still have the ability to let your younger brother take away all the military power! You have lost the face of my master!"
At this time, in the living room, the Nanman King and the Queen were both present. Seeing Taoist Lianqing speak so frankly about the border affairs, both of them felt a little embarrassed.
Taoist Lianqing said, "You two don't have to feel bad. Don't I know about the little naughtiness between you two?"
"I came here today to tell you that if you are interested in Da Qi's battle for the emperor, you might as well stand with my apprentice Qin Rushuang; if you are not interested, as long as I am in the southwest, my apprentice will not
I’m trying to embarrass you, but don’t come up with unnecessary delusions yourselves! Just stay in peace! Both sides will be fine for a hundred years!”
What this "delusion" refers to is naturally the Nanman King's extravagant hope of occupying those two cities.
Both of them had a bit of sarcasm on their faces and didn't say anything.
But Qin Rushuang finally figured out what the purpose of the master's roundabout visit to the Nanman Palace was.
It turns out that I came here to vent my anger and support myself!
