Chapter 120 Brother 7 is possessed by a ghost!
Wu Leyong walked into the Buddhist temple on his own. His every move was filled with the radiance of Buddha's nature, as if he had seen through the mundane world.
"The old abbot of our temple insisted that he had received a dream from the God of Poverty, which saved him from a disaster. Therefore, he moved the original Buddha statue away and worshipped the God of Poverty instead."
His voice was gentle and low, as if he was really recounting his past experiences: "Please forgive me, benefactors."
Wu Leyong walked to the stone statue of the God of Poverty, bowed down, and then turned around and said to the few people: "However, since you have come all the way here, if you have any questions in your mind, I may be able to help you answer one or two."
Jiang Yingcheng raised his head and glanced at the several secret guards who had surrounded him, and his sense of security was instantly boosted.
She asked timidly, "Really?"
Jiang Yingcheng was facing away from the door at this moment. The bright and warm afternoon sun shone through the gaps between the people and shone onto her body, as if casting a circle of pure white and holy light over her.
Makes her look extremely innocent.
But his inner voice was contrary to his appearance: [See if Chengcheng will be fooled by him! ]
Jiang Tinghuai simply recalled all the sad things in his life in his mind, along with the sorrow of dying young in the future, and only then did he manage to suppress the upturned corners of his lips.
but--
He glanced calmly at the visitor.
Wu Leyong's appearance this time was even more refined than before. His coarse monk's robe was covered with traces of weathering, and the six scars on his head were neatly arranged, looking as if they had been ironed on a long time ago.
This person must have followed them again from a distance immediately after escaping, and changed into disguise before they came in. His purpose was to confirm once more whether the news he just heard was true.
Even though the news came from the mouth of a three-year-old child.
"Monks do not tell lies." Wu Leyong replied.
"Chengcheng just accidentally told the family secret," Jiang Yingcheng unconsciously raised her hand and pinched the corner of her prince brother's clothes again, lowering her eyelids and said pitifully, "Brother was mean to Chengcheng just now."
Wu Leyong's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed them. He tried his best to calm his heartbeat, and asked as if he really wanted to help her solve her problem: "What kind of secret?"
"Master," Jiang Tinghuai said in a deep voice before Jiang Yingcheng could speak, "You have crossed the line."
As he said this, in his heart he was hoping that the little fellow could tell him some more information that was a mixture of true and false, so as to speed up the process of this man's rebellion towards their Da Rui.
But he also had to speak up to stop it.
From Wu Leyong's actions of escaping and returning, it can be seen that he is suspicious by nature and finds it difficult to trust others easily. Especially since this is news about his sweetheart, he is even more cautious.
If Jiang Tinghuai allowed Jiang Yingcheng to be easily exploited for information at this moment, it would probably arouse Wu Leyong's suspicion.
At the same time, he was vaguely worried that the little guy would really be frightened by his serious tone and give up this excellent plan.
Jiang Xingran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "But, Master is a monk, so it's okay for him to know these things, right?"
When he said this, his voice was full of innocence, with a slight rise at the end of the tone, completely without the coldness of the past: "Chengcheng was so sad because of what big brother said just now, why don't you let her find someone to talk to!"
Jiang Yingcheng and Jiang Qiuyu turned to look at him as if they had seen a ghost.
[Is Brother Qi possessed by a ghost?! ]
Jiang Xingran: “…”
The atmosphere almost fell into an awkward situation. Fortunately, Jiang Tinghuai reacted quickly and took the stage handed over by Jiang Xingran. He said angrily: "You think I'm annoying? Do you know what serious consequences will be if the news is leaked?"
Jiang Xingran had a bit of timidity on his face, but he stood there stubbornly: "The master has already lived in seclusion here, away from the troubles of the world, how could he leak the news?"
Jiang Tinghuai's tone became higher: "Why not? Xingran, I will teach you a lesson today. Never put your hopes on others!"
"I'm very good at judging people! The master looks so kind, how could he be someone who does that kind of thing!"
Jiang Yingcheng and Jiang Qiuyu stood side by side, their two little heads shaking left and right as they quarreled, unaware that this was a trap set for the other side.
Jiang Xingran and Jiang Tinghuai almost couldn't continue the performance.
They seemed to feel that no one could convince the other, and finally they all turned around to look at Wu Leyong, who was the center of the topic.
Wu Leyong came back to his senses and quickly assured: "My roots are here, so I will not disclose the secrets of the young nobles to others at will."
Hearing this, Jiang Tinghuai snorted coldly: "Whatever you want!"
The victorious Jiang Xingran smiled and stepped forward to grab Jiang Yingcheng's hand: "Chengcheng, don't be afraid, Brother Qi won."
Jiang Yingcheng glanced back and forth at the two men with a conflicted expression, but in the end, the desire to win a powerful helper for Da Rui prevailed. She took two steps in the direction of Wu Leyong with her short legs.
[Wait until Chengcheng finishes his work, then come and coax his brother! ]
She repeated her previous words to Wu Leyong.
"But Chengcheng didn't tell everyone!" Jiang Yingcheng smiled shyly and said proudly, "For example, Chengcheng didn't tell anyone about the daughter of a general from another country who was about to run away with her lover!"
"And, for that lover, she handed over all her treasures!" She frowned, "I think his name is Tiger... Tiger something..."
Wu Leyong's breathing was rapid, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably: "Tiger Talisman?"
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands with his fists: "That's it! Master, how did you know that?!"
Wu Leyong did not reply.
At this moment, he had completely believed what the little girl said. After all, she looked like a child of only about three years old.
He tried his best to suppress the rage boiling in his chest and almost broke his back teeth.
How could Jinrou do such a thing?
How could she fall so deeply in love with him just after such a brief contact?
That’s a tiger talisman!
She was willing to give up the tiger talisman for a man, so what was all his companionship and desperate following for all these years?
A joke? !
The little ball in front of him was still staring at him ignorantly without any guard. This was clearly a perfect opportunity to kidnap Princess Da Rui, but he seemed to have lost all his strength and even moving was so difficult.
Seeing this, Jiang Yingcheng wanted to continue provoking him: "Master? Master, you——"
"What kind of master is he?!" A sudden shout came from outside the door.
The monk, who was stripped down to his inner garments, pointed at Wu Leyong angrily and said, "Don't be fooled by him. He is not a monk from our temple at all! He——"
Before he could finish, a figure rushed out from above their heads at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in the small courtyard in the blink of an eye.
As usual, Xu Jiu asked people to chase after him.
Jiang Yingcheng took two steps forward, extremely disappointed: [Hey, Chengcheng hasn’t finished yet…]
After listening for a while, Jiang Tinghuai laughed and shook his head.
If they continue to let her be provoked like this, they might lose this distinguished foreign friend forever.
