After a moment of silence, all he heard was Mr. Deng's plain tone: "That old man? Ha, the emperor is just a dog next to me."
"Mr. Deng!" Qiu Jinpeng said seriously, "Please be more respectful! I will never be your opponent, but I won't allow you to say that to him!"
"Oh, just you?" Mr. Deng sneered, his eyes filled with contempt. "Don't you know how much you weigh?"
Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, Hua Wuchang hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "Oh! Calm down your anger, calm down! This is not the capital, this is the Flower City, in the temple of the Flower City!"
"Prefect Hua, judging from what you said, it seems that you are also Situ's lackey. Tsk, what a Situ. He must be the most powerful in both the government and the public now."
"Mr. Deng." Hua Wuchang shook his shoulders and said helplessly, "You are not an official and a part-time official. You don't know what the situation is like in the government and the opposition. Nowadays, it is difficult not to take sides. Besides, look at others, they treat you with respect when they come up.
It would be better for you to give it a try! Think about it, if your retainer...oh, he is your disciple, and he hears someone saying bad things about you when you are traveling abroad, how can you not be angry?"
After hearing this, Mr. Deng was stunned.
Although I don't even have the slightest fondness for the so-called 'Master Situ', he is simply disgusted to the point of nausea.
But this makes sense...
But you can't just apologize, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Jinpeng finally spoke. Perhaps after staying in the unpredictable capital for a long time, he still had the ability to observe words and emotions.
He also vaguely sensed that something was wrong. If he could just say something at this time, maybe there would be a step forward.
"Mr. Deng." Qiu Jinpeng clasped his hands and said respectfully, "To say it is my fault. I don't know if it was because you were there, but I didn't entertain you well. I was angry just now. I hope you will have more."
There were steps to get down, but Mr. Deng was not that old-fashioned. He immediately pretended to laugh and said, "Humph, you are a young man who has some eyesight. Forget it, then I will not forget the mistakes of the villain."
"I once heard that Mr. Situ mentioned Mr. Deng that you are straightforward and forthright in your speech. You are a great hero. Now that I see you, you are really like that."
The flattery was so flattering that even Lan Chen next to him felt his face heat up and was so embarrassed.
Seeing the right moment, he also asked quietly, "Who is Situ? Why do you feel like you dislike him so much?"
"You don't know?" Mr. Deng was a little confused. He stared at Lan Chen as if he was looking at some monster.
Lan Chen frowned and then shook his head. He really had no impression at all.
"Perhaps you are in Xuzhou and don't know the capital or the government and the people. That Situ is the most favored 'eunuch' around the emperor's son. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has power over the government and the people, and one person is subordinate.
Your father is also an official in the imperial court, you should know..."
When Mr. Deng realized something, he immediately tightened his lips and stopped talking. At the same time, he glanced over and observed Lan Chen's situation.
Lan Chen shrugged bitterly, showing that nothing happened.
"Anyway, I've met that old boy Situ a few times, and I get annoyed every time I see him. Boy, if you are destined to go to the capital, don't get too close to Situ."
"Sure, listen to Mr. Deng." Lan Chen nodded and said so, but "Mr. Situ" was already imprinted in his heart, and he might be the one who framed his father.
On the other side, after seeing that the relationship between the two of them was no longer so sharp, Hua Wuchang slowly said, "Then again, Mr. Deng, you also know that this temple is a forbidden area in Huadu. I feel that you should be following me."
You must have sneaked in behind me, this is really unethical..."
After catching a glimpse of that fierce look, Hua Wuchang hurriedly said, "No! I mean I'm not authentic! If I had known you were coming to Huadu, I would have invited you to come to this temple no matter what. You also know that this temple belongs to
'Forbidden area', you can only come in unless something happens."
"It just so happened that I had a rush today, so I came into the temple. And you happened to follow me. Look, isn't this our fate? But since you came in to take a look, you know what's going on inside.
, Well, the thing below us is the 'Eternal Seal', what is locked inside it, I can't say, there is no record from our ancestors, maybe it is really a ferocious beast."
Between the lines, Hua Wuchang paid great attention, fearing to offend Mr. Deng. At the same time, he was also thinking about what to do now.
You definitely won't be able to defeat him if you fight him, and you won't be able to drive him away even if you drive him for a while.
I was just afraid that Mr. Deng would break the casserole and ask the truth. Thinking of this, Hua Wuchang subconsciously glanced at Wang Katie next to him.
After just one glance, he stopped looking, and then stared straight at Mr. Deng in front of him, and then whispered, "Katie Wang, don't stare at me. I advise you to be smart. If you don't do anything, I will definitely kill you immediately."
about you."
After Katie Wang hesitated for a moment, her lips trembled slightly and she said, "Master Prefect, you don't need to tell me, haven't I been cooperative enough these days?"
"Hmph!" After snorting coldly, Hua Wuchang continued to shout to Mr. Deng as if he had nothing to do, "By the way, I don't know who is next to you, Mr. Deng?"
Before Lan Chen could react, Mr. Deng also said, "My disciple."
After hearing this, Lan Chen also hurriedly stood up from behind Mr. Deng and said respectfully, "I have met the magistrate, Mr. Qiu, in Xia Liang Qiyou."
Without a moment's hesitation, Lan Chen casually came up with a 'pseudonym'.
A strong intuition told him that at this moment, it would be better to conceal the identity of 'Lan Chen'.
I just don’t know what Mr. Deng meant.
After Deng hesitated for a moment, he slowly nodded.
"I never thought that Mr. Deng would also accept a disciple. It seems that the Daqian Dynasty will add another young master, haha."
Hua Wuchang both joined hands and congratulated each other. It seemed that the lie of 'master and apprentice' had been temporarily deceived.
For Mr. Deng, calling him a 'master and apprentice' was based on his intuition. His intuition told him to take one step at a time before speaking, and not to reveal any more identity information first.
Secondly, because of Hua Wuchang's previous 'master-disciple remarks', it really moved him to pity him. If he really wants to accept a disciple at his age...
Then Lan Chen seems to be a good choice.
He coughed lightly, as if mustering up great courage, Hua Wuchang said, "Mr. Deng, you have seen enough now, how about I send you out?"
"What? You want to drive me away? I can't stay here? Don't tell me that it's forbidden or forbidden. Since Qiu Jinpeng and the little friend next to you are here, it proves that
This is not a mysterious place!"
Having said that, Mr. Deng waved his hand, showing his domineering attitude!
Hua Wuchang was so frightened that he ran behind Qiu Jinpeng like a drowned rat, as if seeking protection.
Qiu Jinpeng gritted his teeth, pinched his orchid fingers, and said angrily, "I wanted to find a place where no one would disturb me for interrogation, but I never thought that I would be targeted by Mr. Deng. That's all. I think Mr. Deng has heard about it."
