MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 122

The biggest sequelae of the Lou Ben case is probably that the prince's civil servants in the court have suffered a huge blow.

In the past, Taipu Lou was the leader of the civil servants who supported the prince. Since the incident, the prince has been depressed. Today, when Shaoshang was going to see everyone in the Lou family off, he followed.

At first Ling Budo wanted to go too, but Shaoshang tactfully advised him not to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds; Ling Budo didn't argue with her, and turned his head and appeared outside the city with the prince. In front of Shili Pavilion.

Shao Shang asked the prince helplessly: "Your Highness, do you know who is in charge of this case, now the Lou family is dead and scattered in exile, and you brought him to see him off , is it not enough for the Lou family to be sad?"

The prince said embarrassedly: "Zisheng said that he is right about things and wrong to people. Lou's family has a deep understanding of righteousness and will definitely not mind."

Shao Shang was unable to complain: "If he says you believe it!" - he has turned the whole family around, and let them understand him. Very reasonable!

The prince gently counterattacked: "At first, you were skeptical about Lou Ben's crime, but after hearing from his mother that Zisheng had never done anything he was not sure about since he was a child, don't you rush to find security? Have you become the county head?"

Shao Shang: ...let's not hurt each other, okay?

Shao Shang wanted to comfort Lou Yao, who had just lost her brother and was about to leave for a long journey, but Ling Budo was staring at him, so she had to retreat and go to He Zhaojun to say goodbye. The two didn't have much friendship, but they had cooperated with each other in a hurry a few days ago. At this time, Shao Shang didn't know what to say to He Zhaojun.

"...that day I went to you so abruptly, but I didn't expect you to believe it as soon as I said it, and I immediately went to the old uncle to rescue the soldiers. I should spend a lot of time talking, really I didn't expect you to trust me so much." She was speechless.

He Zhaojun is wearing a heroic riding uniform today, which is even more neat and pretty. She said lightly: "Father taught me that people can be stupid or cowardly in their whole life, but they must be able to look at people. When I saw you trembling with Xiao Shizi's head, I knew your temperament - not to mention, Even if you're wrong, I'm just letting go of my uncle's old favor."

Shao Shang protested: "Who is shivering, I'm just afraid that blood will stain my new clothes!" Now thinking of that still warm head, she still has nightmares, think about it He's a really good guy who doesn't care.

He Zhaojun smiled and did not refute. At this time, there was a man crying in front, and the two women looked sideways, only to see Uncle Lou Jing and several sons kneeling in front of the prince, crying and talking.

Shao Shang said flatly, "Why didn't you see the eldest lady, are you in the carriage?"

He Zhaojun sneered: "You don't know yet, but not many people know that the eldest uncle divorced the eldest aunt a few days ago."

"What?!" Shao Shang was surprised.

He Zhaojun said: "The words of the second brother before his death have come out. Although he has made a big disaster, he is the most outstanding son of the Lou family. The uncle in the family wants to find the uncle. In theory, he asked him if he really hindered the future of the second brother, which caused the catastrophe. Then the eldest uncle divorced the eldest aunt, and the charge was 'indecent and virtuous, alienating flesh and blood', and sent her back to her parents two days ago. already."

Shao Shang scorned in his heart: "The eldest lady is already very old. At this time, she will go back to her parents' home. Can she still remarry? Tsk tsk... It's true that the husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they will fly away from each other when disaster strikes."

After saying this, Shaoshang's eyes touched Lou Yao who was talking to Ling Budo not far away, and he didn't know what Ling Budo had fooled the boy, only to see Lou Yao moved to tears Orbit, just swore an oath to the flag. She hurriedly said, "But Ah Yao is not such a person, he can share weal and woe together!"

"I know." He Zhaojun seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, so she looked at her husband and smiled, "Don't worry, Ayao neither resents Master Ling nor is depressed. He has a steel scale in his heart, and knows that what his second brother has done is really unbearable, even if it is not revealed by Master Ling, it will not be accepted in the hearts of the world."

Shao Shang was both relieved and sad, and sighed: "Ayao is such a person who is upright and straight."

Over there, the prince has helped Lou Jing up, as if to comfort him.

Little businessmen are dissatisfied: cut, sloppy good people!

He Zhaojun sneered: "My uncle's mind has been reversed quickly, so he has a new idea."

"What new idea?" Shaoshang asked.

Yao took his sons to the post."

"He also has such a thick skin?!" Shao Shang was a little angry.

"Naturally thick." He Zhaojun sneered, "On the second day after the second brother committed suicide, he came to see Ayao and cried for a while, shrugging off his fault. Now it seems that he is Putting all the treasure on His Royal Highness, even if His Majesty does not want to see him, when His Highness ascends the throne in the future, maybe he will be able to recover!"

"Stop dreaming!" Shaoshang said with a cold face, "Lord Ling and I are not dead yet, is he trying to find an enemy for himself!" The good prince turned on the slander mode in front of him.

"I think so too." He Zhaojun smiled with satisfaction. This is what she was waiting for. Since Lou Jing can block Lou Ben's future, won't he hinder Lou Yao when he recovers?

Shao Shang faintly felt that He Zhaojun was a little different from the past, and tentatively said: "There must be many difficulties in this position, you..."

"Needless to say." He Zhaojun said simply, "I have already inquired about several uncles who have served far away, the medicine star divine eats, drinks, sleeps, sleeps, guards, and loads, and prepares everything that should be prepared. Now, the uncles who can’t be bought at the moment will also be sent first. Although Uncle Jun will be exiled soon, but he has been a foreigner for many years, and he has a complete set of manual books. After a while, Uncle Jun will let him use the old All the staff have sent it to Ayao."

Shao Shang looked at her with clear and frank eyes, without any hint of gloom, on the contrary, she was full of energy and secretly amazed.

He Zhaojun looked at the official road covered with snow in the distance, no longer the charming and willful little girl she used to be. I just listened to her calmly say: "I was born in wealth and security, no matter what I broke into when I was young, my father and brother would take care of me. I thought I would have no worries in this life, but who knew that my father and brother were all killed in battle; later I married in the building. Such a strong and stable family, who would have known such a land after a failure. I can see it clearly, it is better to rely on yourself, maybe..." She smiled happily, "I will be happier in this way. Woolen cloth!"

After a pause, she lowered her voice: "Father did not entrust the He family and younger brother to his stepmother, nor to his side uncle, he entrusted it to me. I don't know, it turned out to be in In my father's mind, I can actually take care of things."

The little businessman was inexplicably moved. Sometimes love and trust have unimaginable power, giving a child the courage to face a lifetime.

When it came time to part, the prince saw He Zhaojun flying vigorously on his horse, like a brisk swallow, and his eyes became hot. He still remembered that this was the unique riding posture of the battle-hardened General He.

He Zhaojun sat proudly on the horse, his eyes were confident and strong, and said to Shaoshang: "Meet you in the future, I will invite you to drink and eat meat!"

Short businessmen readily agreed.

On the way back, the prince was in a low mood, so he invited Ling Budo to ride with Shaoshang.

Shao Shang never found a chance to talk to Lou Yao, and he was not in a good mood, so he muttered: "It's also interesting to think about it, the Lou family used to be the most unknown youngest son, the He family once The most unruly and willful young girl, but now she has to take the lead, life is like a drama."

"Who said no." The prince said with emotion.

"His Royal Highness, the concubine has a word to report." Shao Shang suddenly looked serious.

The prince shivered: "Speak well, don't look like this."

"Loujing, this person is really a hypocrite with hypocrisy." Shaoshang sternly said, "Whether it is now, or whether His Highness will be a great treasure in the future, His Highness should not use this person any more!"

The prince sighed in embarrassment: "There is something wrong with him, but he is lonely..."

Seeing that the Crown Prince had been yelled at by himself, Shao Shang took a deep breath and continued: "Your Highness, don't worry about the absence of the Lou Jing, and no one in the court to support you, as long as Your Highness stands upright, With a firm mind, the crown prince can be a banner of its own, attracting talents from all over the world! At that time, there will be no one to use..."

"It's fine." The prince put his hands together and smiled bitterly, "Actually, Zisheng doesn't agree with the use of the tower servant again, you don't need to be so anxious to get angry, there is Zisheng, just a meal With rice, Zi Sheng can come up with 18 strategies that Gu will never be able to use it, so don't be impatient."

Ling Budo had been leaning against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest before he heard the words and glanced at the prince.

Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Really, Master Ling, you are so tricky... ah no, you are resourceful..."

Ling Budo couldn't hold back the frosty expression, and looked straight at him, as if he really wanted to pinch the girl to death.

Prince remembered his mature and prudent appearance when he was young, how has he had such vivid popularity in the past ten years, and turned his back to hold back his laughter.

Shao Shang sees Ling Budo and leans over, and quickly shrinks to hide behind the prince: "What do you want to do, your Highness is here, don't mess around!"

The prince leaned on his side and said helplessly behind him: "Do you remember the use of loneliness now?!" Although he was stern, he thought, if he had such a naughty and sensible person Daughter or younger sister, usually have a happy life.

"Your Highness is tired, it's time to rest, you follow me to another car!" Ling Budo reached out and was about to grab the girl.

Shao Shang said anxiously, "I haven't finished speaking to His Highness yet!"

"No need to talk about Lou Jing, what else do you have to say!"

"Of course there is!" The young merchant shouted diligently, then walked around to the prince and said solemnly, "His Royal Highness, the concubine has a question."

Prince laughed: "Listen alone."

"Has Your Highness beat up the Crown Princess recently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Budo touched his forehead and side his head, unable to bear the sudden sight; the prince looked sluggish.

Shao Shang is right: "I heard that since the Crown Princess was detained, Her Royal Highness has served her with delicious food and drink, and also set aside the garden on the side of the East Palace for her to hang out. Not only that, I I heard that the crown prince is also planning to give her a huge inheritance, even if she is abolished in the future, she can continue to be dressed in brocade and jade. Is that right?"

The prince looked embarrassed.

Shao Shang said angrily: "Your Highness, concubine is not a mean and narrow-minded person..."

Ling Budo let out a timely snort, expressing disapproval.

Shao Shang ignored him and continued: "The concubine is not a mean and narrow-minded person, but the concubine thinks that everyone should pay for what they do. Madam Qu has suffered and been wronged for ten years, don't you need to be punished?!"

"I know that if Your Highness treats the Crown Princess lightly, people may say that you are ruthless and ruthless, and other concubines will not fight, so His Highness will beat the Crown Princess twice, it is considered a slight punishment ." For certain crimes of a vile nature that cannot be punished with severe sentences, a severe beating is more effective than anything else.

"How could it be a gentleman to beat a woman." The prince whispered.

"Of course it's not right for a man to beat a woman!" Shaoshang said, "But sometimes the situation forces you. Like my former second aunt, she is really a vicious bitch! The second uncle taught her her If you don't listen, you can't scold you, you can't scold her, you can't do it when you send it back to your parents' home, and you can't take it off. All day long, I beat my eldest mother to count my parents and my parents, and the family is restless. What else can I do except beat her twice! If my second uncle beats my second aunt hard, maybe they won't get divorced later."

"As the saying goes, villains are afraid of power but not virtue. Some people just like to bully good people! Your Highness, look at me, when I first entered the palace, I didn't dare to look at you, but now , I dare to slap you to beat the princess, this is simply a crime! It can be seen that the superior still has to be somewhat majestic..."

Ling Buxuan snorted.

Shao Shang angrily said: "Don't interrupt, I'm talking to the prince!"

The prince's previous worries were swept away, and he turned around and smirked.

…

Back to Changqiu Palace, the crown prince first greeted the queen, then briefly recounted what Shicai had said in the car, and said with a smile: "Thinking about it now, it's good for Zisheng to meet Shaoshang. Shaoshang Although there are no rules for speaking, but every sentence is good for Erchen. Sometimes Erchen feels that they are like my own brothers and sisters. "

The Queen smiled gratified: "Yes, sometimes when I meet Shaoshang, I am angry and funny, scolding is neither praise nor praise, I want to hit her on the palm at one time, and feel distressed at the same time. ."

At this time, the young merchant sent Ling Budo away, stepped into the inner hall, and saw that the prince was hesitant to say anything, and his face was full of suspicion: "What did your highness say to the empress, why is the concubine here? Don't say it anymore."

The prince glared at her angrily: "Gu said bad things about you! You are becoming more and more disrespectful now, and you are on leave every three days. Gu now beats her mother and beats you hard. , as you said, a fight is more effective than teaching!"

"Your Highness!" The girl exclaimed in disgust.

The Queen smiled.

…

At this time, Zhengdan has passed, and the Lantern Festival is approaching. According to the agreement with Linghou before the battle, Ling Budoubt will take the young merchant to Chengyanghoufu. The queen declined to comment, and still carefully prepared a meeting ceremony for the two. Shaoshang looked at the beautiful and unusable golden and jade objects, and asked, "Does the niangniang like Madam Linghou too?"

Ling Budoubt said: "When I was young, everyone praised Chun Yu's humility and self-control, and was willing to serve her grumpy grandmother for her concubine. I fell asleep, and I heard the mother say that if she is Chunyu clan, even if the children are in groups, as long as she can leave, she will turn around and leave."

Thinking of the knot that could not be untied between the emperor and the queen, Shao Shang sighed heavily.

In the early morning of the next day, Shaoshang came to Linghou's mansion with Ling Budo, and was surprised for a while.

She always thought that the house of Ling Hou, a gentle and handsome middle-aged uncle, should be decorated elegantly and leisurely, with a bit of bookish air. Unexpectedly, I found out that Chengyang Hou's mansion, from the courtyard to the house, was built respectfully and meticulously. There are no carved beams and painted buildings, no curved cornices, and even the tables and tables are all square and square, without any superfluous ornamentation.

This atmosphere is also different from Ling Budo's barracks-style mansion. Ling Budo's mansion is obviously the result of a lazy and thoughtful arrangement and finally simplifying the complex - anyway, the mansion is also Without female dependents, it is easier to manage the house as a military camp.

The solemn and orderly atmosphere in Chengyang Hou's mansion seems to be the result of deliberate maintenance. In this era of enthusiastic release, Shao Shang miraculously felt a strange sense of restraint.

Ling Budo's eldest father and eldest mother have long since passed away. Chengyanghou mansion now lives with three brothers of Linghou. Although the three brothers have married and have children, they have never separated. Family harmony, filial piety heirs, really worthy of a role model for the world.

Facing a group of 'elders', Shao-shang saluted them in an orderly manner - the Ling family not only has a neat mansion, but even the people are neat. The three brothers of the Ling family are all one wife and three concubines, and they have several children. When they sit in front of Shaoshang, their expressions are almost the same, like dolls cast out of a mold.

Even the Chunyu Clan, who was in the style of various white lotuses outside, was dignified and silent at this time, only a little eager when introducing her eldest son. Ling Budo's eldest brother was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was born very similar to Ling Hou. He was tall and thin, and his face was handsome. When saluting each other, he seemed to sneak a few glances at Shaoshang, and then Shaoshang saw Chunyu's sleeve on his sleeve. I screwed my son.

Chun Yu couldn't hold back, and finally said that his eldest son had set a marriage, and the object was Yuchang County Lord!

"The Princess of Yuchang?!" Shao Shang was surprised and subconsciously wanted to see Ling Budo, only to realize that Ling Budo was called away by Ling Hou.

She snapped her fingers and did the math: The Lord of Yuchang County is one year older than Ling Budo, and Ling Budo is five or six years older than the second son of Ling, so—"Well, I remember the Lord of Yuchang County This year’s Fangling…”

"What should a bride be afraid of when she's older? As the saying goes, the junior girl holds a golden brick!" Chunyu said first.

Shao Shang twitched the corners of his mouth: "Well, this time, I just hugged two and a half gold bricks, and it really is a good marriage."

Second son Ling's psychological quality is excellent, and he has no sense of shame at all, and he has a bit of show off.

Chun Yu said proudly: "Yes, fate is really determined! On the Queen's birthday a few months ago, my son was waiting for the prince outside the palace gate. Who knew that he ran into the palace and hurried out of the palace. The Lord of Yuchang County has forged an indissoluble bond!"

Shao Shang tried to remember - well, I remember. It was as if he had just had a quarrel with Ling Budo, and then Ling Budo talked to the Yuchang County Master who was rushing over, and finally the queen said that the Yuchang County Master had run out of the palace crying... So, Ling Er The son took the opportunity to comfort him? Being able to climb Gaozhi to find a wife, um, really has a family background.

" Was Yuchang County Master crying at that time?" she asked.

Chun Yu was shocked and covered up: "Ms. Cheng, what does this mean?"

Shao Shang said: "It's not interesting, then what... Has the old prince Ruyang agreed to this marriage?"

"But didn't the old princess go to the Taoist temple outside the city to practice?" Shao Shang smiled.

Chunyu's face stiffened: "The first marriage is from the parents, and the second marriage is up to me. In short, the princess is willing, what can the old prince say!"

Also true love.

Chun Yu said with a smile: "I have to wait for the second uncle to do it first. Mrs. Cheng doesn't know, Zisheng's second uncle is about to marry the Yuhou family!"

At this time, Uncle Ling hurriedly explained: "It's not the daughter of Marquis Yu, but Marquis Yu's niece. Besides, Zisheng has already made a marriage plan, so naturally he has to wait for Zisheng's wedding ceremony. That's it, it's the next child's turn."

"Zi Sheng's marriage doesn't need you to interfere!" Ling Hou came in from outside, followed by Ling Budo.

Ling Hou looked bad, and he scolded Chunyu in front of the whole family: "I told you a long time ago, His Majesty Zisheng's marriage has his own opinion, you take my words as your own. Are you deaf!"

Chun Yu immediately sat upright and said in a low voice, "What Hou Ye said is that the concubine has overstepped. It's just that the concubine thinks that Zi Sheng is the eldest son of Hou Ye, we can't be at all..."

Chun Yu was very embarrassed, but she still bowed softly.

—The sense of discord has come again.

Shao Shang felt strangely that Ling Yi and the Chunyu family were not as deep and inseparable as the outside world. Seeing the Chunyu family facing Linghou is more important than facing the queen in the palace A little bit of fear, it's really strange.

After reprimanding his wife, Ling Hou called Ling Budo and Shao Shang to go outside the house, bypassing the huge and empty courtyard, and came to the ancestral hall in the southwest corner of Ling Mansion. Get the incense sticks ready.

Walking back the servants, Ling Hou only took his son and the young merchant into the cold Ling's ancestral hall. He led his son and future daughter-in-law to the side hall of the ancestral hall to rest for a while.

The three sat around the fireplace, Ling Budo quietly poured wine for Ling Hou, and poured a bowl of hot buttermilk for his fiancée.

Ling Hou drank it all in one gulp, and said happily: "The ancestors and sects know that you are so promising, our Ling family is hopeful for revival, and we can rest our eyes under Jiuquan - Speaking of which, our Ling family is in front. Chao is also a well-known and famous family, who knows that it has been defeated again and again, and finally has no place to stand, if it is not for Zisheng's uncle to help, alas..."

Shao Shang turned his head to look, only to see Ling Buxuan hanging his eyebrows and saying nothing. She suddenly realized that Ling Budo seemed to be extraordinarily silent in front of Ling Hou, and it was the same when he gave the armor before the battle last time.

Ling Yi doesn't seem to mind his son, just nagging. In order to avoid embarrassment in the cold field, Shao Shang had no choice but to respond.

How many aristocratic clans have survived from the previous dynasty to the present, it is not easy!" Speaking of this imperial brother who moved in a fashion, several doctors who taught the history of Shao-Shang were often indignant and could not restrain themselves.

Ling Hou laughed and almost choked on wine: "Leeks? Hahaha, Shao Shang's words are interesting, no wonder Your Majesty and Empress like you!" He sighed, "What you said is that our Ling family It is a blessing to have survived to this day and still have the power to turn around!"

He turned his head and said to his son, "Zisheng, don't think you are too long-winded for your father. This time you have made meritorious service in Shouchun, and you are very happy for your father, but you have a few more injuries on your body. Ah? When I was young, I was inattentive, and I got sick all the time. I heard that Your Majesty asked the doctor to live in your house again, and said that he would give you a good recuperation. Even if you didn't say anything, I expected you. Not badly injured!"

Shao Shang thought of the wound on Ling Budo's shoulder and sighed a little.

"Listen to the father, dodge when it's time to dodge, the world is so big and there are so many talented people, it's not that you have to do everything! Press the gourd and the scoop floats, the credit is It will never end! Heaven and earth are infinite, but you are made of meat, how can you fight all the way." Ling Yi persuaded bitterly.

Ling Budo kept her head down and said nothing.

In some respects, Shaoshang agrees with Ling Yi, but she has some contradictions in her heart, so Ai Ai retorts regularly: "You can't say that, Your Majesty asks Lord Ling to give more credit, I also want to find a reason to give him more titles and awards, and want to make Master Ling prosperous and rich in the future..."

"Who said that one has to perform meritorious deeds in order to be prosperous and rich!" Ling Yi's eyes lit up with a bit of alcoholism, "Who said that one has to fight with blood in order to be promoted?"

The voice fell, and there was a dead silence in the side hall.

Shao Shang was so amazed that she could not speak, since she could understand this world, the men she knew, down to the farmers and soldiers in the countryside, up to Uncle Cheng, Uncle Wan, General He... Even the disgraced Lou Ben fought hard in this world, using his ingenuity, fortune, and even the life of his family, to win the appreciation of the monarch, and to win the prosperity of the clan.

Although the purpose is more utilitarian, compared with the stagnant sauce pot culture, Shaoshang can appreciate this warm and positive enterprising spirit - today, she heard Ling Yi's words, as if I fell into a different world and didn't know how to respond.

"The moment of brilliance seems to be extremely radiant, reflecting the sky, but the past is gone. Champion Hou Yingying I, but after his untimely death, who will protect his family and clan? It's the best way to live!" Ling Yi said word by word, "Zi Sheng, Shao Shang, our three blood relatives, father and son husband and wife, are a family of close relatives, I will make it clear today."

"I know what Your Majesty means. In the future, when you and Shaoshang have children, you will definitely choose a few surnames Huo and inherit the incense for Zisheng's uncle. Brother Huo Chong is also a reincarnation of the gods. My grandson has no trouble with his surname! But Zisheng, you can't imitate your uncle, no matter how good your majesty is to you, you can't really risk your life!"

Here we are!"

Shao Shang looked at Ling Yi's elegant and kind face, and listened to his self-satisfied laughter. For the first time in her life, she felt a kind of fear in her heart - because she could not say Ling Yi The words are wrong.

Ling Budo never said a word, just poured Ling Yi cup after cup of wine, and finally Ling Yi was drunk by the fire, and Ling Budo helped him back to his residence and handed it over to the servants.

After that, Ling Budo refused to have lunch and was about to leave Chengyanghou Mansion after catching the young merchant. The two uncles of the Ling family didn't try to persuade him.

Before going out, Second Uncle Ling seemed to want to ask Ling Wusu about something and pull him aside to talk. The third uncle Ling talked about the family affairs of Shaoshang: "Ms. Cheng, don't be frightened by the eldest brother. In fact, the eldest brother loves Zisheng the most. He and the Hof people have no children for several years. He can walk and dance, so he has Zisheng, really take him seriously, who knows..."

He sighed, "Although the eldest brother also had children next to him, but only Zisheng was the one who hugged, fed and coaxed him to sleep, I really didn't expect their father and son to be estranged now. So far!"

Shao Shang had nothing to say, so he could only sigh in response to the situation.

On the way back, Ling Bu questioned Shaoshang: "What do you think your father said today?"

Shao Shang said: "I knew you were going to ask me! Oh, well, I just remembered my third aunt. Wasn't Hua County hit by war at the beginning of last year, the old county magistrate wanted to protect the people When she died in battle, the third aunt said at the time that she loved my uncle more than her life, but if the same happened to my uncle, she would rather his uncle fight the enemy outside the city than hide in the city and survive."

Ling Budo's eyes lit up and praised: "Mrs. Sang is really a hero among women!"

Ah. That's why you don't have to fight in the future. It's important to stay at home and take care of your health! Just now I turned over your family tree. Except for your eldest parents who suffered from disasters, the rest of the ancestors have lived a long time. Oh, I don't know how long the ancestors of your grandmother's family lived. I seem to have heard from Cui Hou, and it seems that there are several birthday stars in the Huo family. You can follow me too, but don't die before me!"

Ling Budo laughed and sighed: "Do you know that you actually have a very interesting difference."

"What's the difference?"

"No matter how serious I was talking to you at first, you will always be distracted by you in the end, and your concentration is almost gone. In the end, you forget what you were going to say."

Shao Shang touched his head: "Then what did you want to say?" Actually, Father Cheng is a master of crooked buildings.

"It's nothing, I forgot." Ling Budo swept away Shi Cai's gloom, and smiled very exasperatingly.
