Chapter 197 Such worries are unnecessary. "My lord, please!" Marquis Dingxi, who was following him, smiled, bowed to Ke Han, stretched out his right hand towards the stone table under the big locust tree, and signaled Ke Han to have a meal.
Ke Han was not a hypocritical person, so he said casually: "You're welcome then. Uncle Tao, Master Huairou, and the few disciples who are practicing, let them come over and let's go together!"
Of course, everyone gave in and said they had already eaten. Ke Han shook his head and said, "That's it!"
Then he sat down at the table. Although he was very hungry, he still ate in a gentle and gentle manner.
The maids and servants were waiting aside, because there were few stools here. Except for Dingxihou and Master Huairou, who accompanied Ke Han on the stone stools, the others stood and waited patiently for Ke Han.
When Ke Han took the last sip of the soup and put down the bowl and chopsticks, Yan Zi had already prepared a towel and handed it to him. Ke Han nodded and said "thank you", took the towel, wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, orchid,
Qiu Ju and Wintersweet came over, packed up the dishes and cups on the table, and took them to the lake to wash them.
"Master Shi has always been hands-on and hands-on, which is really touching! The last time we handled a case in Kyoto, it was an eye-opener! This trip to the Western Regions must be very busy, but I wonder if I can help?
If you have anything to do, please feel free to give me your orders!" Marquis Dingxi opened his chatter and asked, "Oh, in order to celebrate Dongfang Xiaorong's appointment as the governor, and to thank Master Shi for saving his little daughter, tonight, I want to hold a grand party in the city guarding the city.
I sincerely invite you to come in person and ask for your guidance on the defense of the Western Border."
"Guidance is out of the question! However, as the Western Region is a border fortress, we must not be careless. The soldiers who defend the city have worked hard and have made great achievements, so they should pay more attention to them. The hero who protects the island without any desire or pursuit, Master Huairou, deserves more respect. I Shen thinks so, but I don't know the King of the West.
What do you think?" Ke Han said to Dingxihou affectionately
"I have heard about the name of Master Huairou for a long time! It is also rumored among the people that the master is generous in behavior, but very low-key in life. Today I met him. It is true that he is a famous family with a strong integrity, which makes people admire him! Although the master is in a foreign place and lives alone on an island, he still never forgets to work hard.
, carefully taught his disciples to regard the island as their home, and to guard and protect the island voluntarily. This is the integrity of the island, and the comfort of the island today. The master’s contribution is indispensable, and even more proud of Dashun! If there is a master in the Western Region to help, it is enough to be stable!
This situation actually alarmed the emperor's privileged representative, Mr. Shi, and it is extraordinary that he intends to praise him! Although I am close at hand, I don't know about Master Huairou's defense of the island, and I feel deeply guilty!" Dingxihou followed Ke Han's wishes.
, changing the subject, he faced Master Huairou, clasped his fists and saluted, and then said, "It is a blessing to meet the master. I hope that the master will not hesitate to show his love and give more valuable opinions on matters in the Western Regions. Tonight, I will do my duty to thank you for your hard work, master."
City discussion!"
Huairou smiled heartily, but refused, saying tactfully: "Huairou likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move around. I understand the king's good intentions, and I think I am more comfortable staying on the island. I hope the king will forgive me!"
"This is due to the master's character. Haha, there is no way. King Xi has no intention of forcing it, so he just follows the master's wishes!" Ke Han knew what Huairou meant. He did not want to get too involved with Ding Xihou, and
, the agreement between them is that Huairou will guard this Shunfeng Island, and Ke Han will handle the outside matters.
Marquis Dingxi no longer insisted. Then he turned to his followers and said, "Go, move the things and put them away!"
Ke Han didn't know what he meant, so he looked at Dingxihou
Yan Zi came over and answered for Ding Xihou: "My father is grateful for Master Huairou's hard work in guarding the island. Seeing that late summer and autumn are coming, and the weather is getting colder, he brought some supplies. I hope Master will accept it!"
Huairou looked at this lovely Yan Zi, feeling warm and warm, and even more loving. She regarded Yan Zi as a daughter in her heart, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you so much!"
Marquis Dingxi did not want to stay on the island for a long time. He met with Ke Han, extended an invitation in person, and handed supplies to Huairou. He was anxious to return, so he excused himself: "Master Shi, can you return with me?"
?By staying here, we will cause a lot of inconvenience to Master Huairou. Master Shi, what do you think?"
Ke Han still wants to walk around the island. Last night, Master Huairou promised to show him the specific conditions of the mineral deposits. If he left at this moment, wouldn't he be disturbed?
When Ke Han thought about it, he also excused himself: "In order to report in more detail the facts about the master's defense of the island and to experience the life on the island, I have to stay on the island and conduct in-depth interviews. The communication with the master will be more practical."
Important and irreplaceable. Besides, I came too late last night, so King Xi should go back first."
After hearing this, Dingxihou also expressed his understanding, so he handed him goodbye and asked people to prepare to row the oars and leave the island.
The moment the boat was about to leave the pier, Yan Zi jumped back to the shore and explained to Ding Xihou: "Dad! It's so boring to go back to the city guard at this moment. It's rare to find a strange place. Right now, this island is really
Charming, it is a rare fairyland in the world! I want to stay on the island and look around. I hope my father will not make it difficult for me to go with Master Shi. Even if tigers, wolves, snakes and leopards come, there is no need to be afraid!"
How could the Marquis of Dingxi stop him? At this moment, he wished that Yan Zi could stay by Ke Han's side. It would be better if Yan Zi and Ke Han had a common bond. In this way, his position in the Western Regions would be indestructible.
Marquis Dingxi knew that now, despite his efforts and recommendation, the former guard Dongfang Xiao had been promoted to the position of Jiedushi. For this reason, he secretly rejoiced, thinking that even though he was far away from the border, his energy had not diminished and his tentacles could reach the palace.
, the decision spread to the imperial court, the experienced power player was self-righteous, and the pleasure of playing power made him even more nostalgic. There are two types of people in the world that are more terrifying, one is a money addict, and the other is a power addict, and Dingxihou belongs to the latter.
Although Dingxihou's current life can be compared with that of the imperial palace, nothing can replace the pleasure of holding great power! This is the most real feeling of Dingxihou
Dingxihou believed that he had supported Dongfang Xiao and consolidated his position in the Western Regions, but at the same time he was very worried. After all, he had retained Dongfang Xiao because of his deception. His so-called half-month medication
Once the saying that one dose of medicine can save your life is exposed, you will have nothing!
He looked at Yan Zi, who was still childish even though he had grown up, and a bold plan suddenly came into being. He smiled kindly and replied: "Then, don't be too naughty, but listen to Mr. Shi. In the evening, remind him to go early."
Just come and defend the city!"
Yan Zi happily agreed, and then jumped back to the surprised Ke Han. In full view of everyone, she held the hem of Ke Han's clothes, waved her hand to Dingxi Marquis, and said happily: "Don't worry, father.
, I will supervise you and urge you to arrive on time!"
Marquis Dingxi looked at Ke Han with a complicated expression, then at Old Tao with his hat drooping next to him, and then he bowed his hand towards Master Huairou, and said sincerely: "Master Shi, see you there tonight!"
Ke Han was held by Yan Zi's sleeves and said with a smile: "Qian Jin personally supervises me, how can I escape? Haha, see you there or not!"
Watch the small boat gradually go away. Behind it, the ripples made by the small oar shatter the golden sunlight...
At this time, the breeze blows gently, and the bamboo leaves all over the mountain are waving messily, making a "whispering" sound in the ears, combined with the "whispering" sound of the golden lang flowers hitting the gravel on the shore, forming a complete
A set of beautiful melodies
The fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, the waterfront, the green bamboos... everything here is beautiful!
The picturesque scene made Yan Zi a little intoxicated. The girl who had experienced ups and downs seemed to be very touched by the gift of nature. She actually closed her eyes and listened to the beautiful sound attentively while feeling it with her heart.
Fairyland
There was Yan Zi following, and Taoist Master Huairu felt a little embarrassed.
Yan Zi is innocent and cute, but she is the daughter of Marquis of Dingxi after all. There are many things about this place that she should not know.
Taoist Huairou doesn't want a third party to know that the reason why he doesn't want to leave here is because there is a large natural iron mine and a large cave full of mystery that is definitely a good place for cultivation. This is what he and Ke Han share.
The secret! The more people know, the more risks. Therefore, they cannot let ignorant people disrupt their action plan before it is officially developed.
While Yan Zi closed her eyes and listened quietly, Taoist priest Huairou walked to Ke Han, pulled Ke Han aside, and asked Ke Han softly: "Master Shi, what should I do? I think I'll leave this to Old Tao.
"We'd better leave quickly. I'll take you around Shunfeng Island to see our treasures. We don't dare to delay any more!"
"Master, do you have any worries?" Seeing Master Huairou being so nervous, Ke Han knew what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a girl? Haha, it's okay. Your worries are unnecessary."
"Are you sure she won't tell his father about our situation here? We can't just look at a person's appearance. As the saying goes, you can't have the intention to harm others, but you can't have the intention to guard against others! First of all, I
Let me declare, I am not doubting her, but I am afraid that she will spread the word by mistake. Look at Dingxihou, you have to be careful!" Master Huairou explained without doubt.
"That's what the master said! However, I tell you, Yan Zi is not the daughter of Dingxihou, do you believe it?" Ke Han stared at Master Huairou's eyes, but couldn't help but laugh, and then showed a serious and serious look.
With a serious expression, he said, "How could such a gentle and kind girl be the daughter of the treacherous Marquis Dingxi?"
Huairou was shocked, his eyes widened, and he shook his head in disbelief, "You mean, Yan Zi is not the daughter of Marquis Dingxi?"
"I didn't want to tell you originally, but seeing how you are acting like this, I'm afraid it will affect our schedule for today's activities, so I told you, Master. Sometimes, you are still quite unreasonable!" Ke Han continued to laugh and emphasized.
He said, "I repeat, Yan Zi is not Dingxihou's daughter..."
Huairou faced Ke Han, glanced behind Ke Han, and then looked weird. He winked at one moment, and looked around at the other. He seemed a little embarrassed, and seemed to be anxious because of Ke Han's explanation, but he had something to say.
He didn't say it out loud, so he just coughed dryly and completely avoided it.
