Chapter 255: The Beautiful Little Loli
Lu Zhan didn't know what Wang Zijun was thinking. He and Xiao Chu left on the dragon horse.
To him, Wang Zijun's affairs were just a drop in the ocean, but the affairs of Luoxia Village made Lu Zhan feel a lot.
Luoxia Village seemed to have gained nothing, but it gave Lu Zhan some new ideas.
If the types of monsters and methods of restraining them could be recorded in a book and printed and distributed weekly, the public would have a basic understanding of monsters. If they encountered small monsters, they would be able to solve them themselves. Even if they could not solve them, at least they would have an idea in their mind, instead of being at a loss like the Luoxia Village, which dragged on and harmed more people.
However, although writing a book may seem simple, it is actually very laborious and tiring, especially a non-fiction book, which requires more detail and caution. He cannot do it on his own, and it is best for the Demon Suppression Bureau to do it.
This is not a bad thing. If it is really accomplished, I dare not say that it will benefit the present generation, but at least it will benefit the country and the people. The Demon Suppression Bureau should be happy to do it.
Lu Zhan was distracted and decided to find an opportunity to propose this plan after arriving in Beijing.
Xiao Chu was in a good mood after seeing Wang Zijun in trouble. She leaned on the beauty couch and played the flute with great interest.
Lu Zhan had seen Elder Heishui play the flute. Ji Mengli's flute sounded very desolate, as if it contained countless vicissitudes of life. Xiao Chu's flute sounded brisk and even though Lu Zhan was not good at music, he could hear some liveliness in it, just like a girl running freely in the woods.
"I didn't expect you could play the flute." Lu Zhan looked at her rosy lips, which seemed to be very flexible.
Chu Wantang said lazily: "I have been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was young, so this is nothing... You just said 'also', could it be that Ling Jiaoyue can also do it?"
Yueyue can't play this flute, but she can play other ones... Lu Zhan naturally couldn't tell Xiao Chu about this nonsense, so he said, "Ji Mengli can play it, but you two play it differently."
"Jinling Rudder was destroyed, Ji Mengli must be having a headache recently." Xiao Chu put down the jade flute and smiled: "Now that you have come to Bianjing, you should stay quiet for a while. Ji Mengli has always been smart. If you move around too much, it will definitely attract her attention."
Lu Zhan half closed his eyes: "Well, I know... What other songs can you play? Play it for me again."
"Why don't you order a song?" Chu Wantang looked at him angrily, but was not really angry. He picked up the jade flute and put it to his lips again.
Soon, the gentle flute sound was heard again. It was not as lively and bright as before, but carried a hint of sadness, like a girl in a secluded place with a lot on her mind.
As Lu Zhan listened, he fell asleep.
Hmm...Xiao Chu playing the flute is really helpful in helping me sleep.
"This damn guy!"
Seeing that he fell asleep, Chu Wantang waved her fist in front of him, but she didn't really hit him. Instead, she slowed down her movements and didn't bother him.
……
Bianjing is located in the north, and the closer you get to Bianjing, the cooler it gets.
At first, you can still feel the autumn, but the further north you go, the weaker the autumn feels and the stronger the winter feels, until even the breath you exhale turns into white mist.
For Lu Zhan, a southerner, it was a little bit difficult to adapt to the new environment, but fortunately he was a cultivator and did not suffer from any symptoms of acclimatization.
After leaving Luoxia Village, Lu Zhan accompanied Xiao Chu to travel around the mountains and rivers, experiencing the customs and habits of various places on the way back to Beijing. Finally, after more than half a month, the two arrived in Bianjing.
It was winter already, and heavy snow was falling in Bianjing. From afar, it looked like a vast expanse of white. The majestic city gate was hidden in the snow, and the vermilion city gate looked even more solemn and bright, like a beautiful flower blooming in the cold winter.
"This is Bianjing..."
Lu Zhan stood outside the carriage and looked out, feeling relaxed. This was his first time in Beijing, and Bianjing was more prosperous than he had imagined.
Lu Zhan did not hold an umbrella, nor did he use his Qi to block it. In just a moment, he was covered in snow and frost.
Lu Zhan had never experienced the feeling of being covered in snow before. In his two lives, he was a southerner.
Chu Wantang came out of the carriage. She was wearing a water green smoke silk skirt and a rouge red and gold cloak. The two colors of vulgar and elegant did not look vulgar on her body, but rather extremely beautiful.
"Haven't you ever seen snow? What's so good about it? Let's go into the city first."
After arriving in Bian Jing, Chu Wantang switched to aloof mode, completely different from his previous appearance when he was playing the flute.
Lu Zhan was still a little uncomfortable: "You've changed quickly."
"We're in Bian Jing now, so we have to be careful." Xiao Chu got off the carriage and walked in the snow. She had red lips, white teeth, and black hair. She looked completely different from her usual lively and bright appearance, and she looked a little more cold and noble.
Lu Zhan looked around as he walked. Although Jinling was a prosperous area, it was still far inferior to Bianliang.
It's a pity that it's snowing today, so the streets are a little deserted.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a big house. As soon as Chu Wantang stopped, the gatekeeper bowed to him and then hurriedly reported to the inside of the house.
In a moment, a dozen servants came hurriedly, and the middle-aged man in the lead hurriedly bowed: "Miss Chu!"
"This is Lord Lu." Chu Wantang said calmly, introducing briefly, "This is Butler Zhao."
"Your Excellency is welcome back home!" Butler Zhao understood and bowed to Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Chu, a little surprised. He thought this was the residence arranged for him by the rich woman, but now it seems that things are not that simple.
Chu Wantang explained: "I forgot to tell you that the captain of the twelfth team of the Bianjing Demon Suppression Division headquarters is of a high rank and has his own official residence."
I didn't expect that being an official in Bianjing would have such benefits. It's much better than Nanjing. It's really the imperial city... Lu Zhan bowed and said, "Thank the Grand Master for me."
"When Master summons you later, go and thank him yourself." Xiao Chu was extremely cold in front of outsiders: "You should get familiar with the house first. I will go and pay my respects to Master."
Lu Zhan was not used to Xiao Chu being in aloof mode, so he said, "Okay."
……
After Xiao Chu left, Butler Zhao enthusiastically introduced the house and maids to Lu Zhan.
The house is a large one with three entrances and three exits, and is very elegantly decorated. The snow in the courtyard has been cleared, but the gardens on both sides are arranged in an orderly manner, which does not interfere with the enjoyment of the snow scenery.
This kind of house was extremely expensive in Bianliang, but for a court official, it was not considered to be boastful.
Most of the maids inside were confiscated from the families of criminals or transferred from the palace. Although their life stories were rough, they were all registered and came from legitimate backgrounds.
"You go and do your work. I'll take a look around on my own." Lu Zhan roughly understood the situation and sent Butler Zhao away.
He didn't like having people following him, and he didn't like living with unfamiliar people. However, Bianjing had its own rules, and the servants in the official residence could not be dismissed easily, otherwise he would be attacked by that group of civil officials.
Lu Zhan was not familiar with the court system, but he understood the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. As he had just arrived, it was better for him to keep a low profile. As for these servants, he would report the matter to the Grand Master when he met him and let the Grand Master send them away.
He now has several duties and with so many people following him, it would be easy for his identity to be exposed. I think the Grand Master should understand.
At this time, the maids and the housekeeper were busy in the front yard. Lu Zhan went to the backyard and saw a field of red plum blossoms blooming in the snow from afar.
The snowflakes are reflected on the clusters of red plum blossoms, and the subtle fragrance is in the air, which is quite elegant.
"Crash-"
At this moment, the branches of flowers deep in the plum forest trembled and snowflakes suddenly fell, as if someone was fiddling with the branches.
As the snowflakes rustled, the branches trembled more and more violently, as if a little wild boar was rampaging in the forest.
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who's in there?"
As soon as the words fell, Merlin, who had been shaking just now, suddenly became quiet.
A young voice came from deep in Merlin: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The voice was as childish as that of a child, which reminded Lu Zhan of Que Que. He waved his hand, and the swaying plum branches tilted to both sides, as if to separate a path.
Lu Zhan looked over and saw a delicate little girl in the snow.
The little girl was wearing a purple cotton skirt with a lilac cloak on the outside. Although it was not made of good material, it was clean and cute.
Her jet-black hair was combed into double buns, with bangs covering her eyebrows, revealing her big jet-black eyes.
She was riding a pink pig, holding a handful of snow in her hands, blinking her big eyes and looking at Lu Zhan curiously.
"Hey, where did this little girl come from?" Lu Zhan was surprised. No wonder Merlin was shaking just now. It turned out that a naughty kid riding a pig ruined the atmosphere.
The fair and tender little Lolita was not afraid of strangers. She rode the little pig and came towards Lu Zhan. When she got in front of Lu Zhan, the pink little pigta braked suddenly and threw the little Lolita into the snow.
The little girl was thrown flat on her face, but she didn't cry. Instead, she stood up, brushed off the snow on her body, and said with her head held high: "Butler Zhao, you are me... my father. Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
It turned out to be a house boy.
House-born children were not uncommon in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Most of them were the result of two slaves falling in love with each other over a long period of time. The child born after they got married was a house-born child, or a household slave.
Judging from her pink and tender appearance, the previous master, Butler Zhao, must have been powerful, otherwise he would not have been able to raise such a fair-skinned daughter.
Lu Zhan found it interesting and squatted down to look at her: "I am the owner of this house."
The little girl blinked her eyes, looking thoughtful, then she threw away the snowball in her hand and clapped her hands happily: "Ah, you are the legendary Master Lu? I heard about you from my father!"
"What did your father say about me?" Lu Zhan touched her head and suddenly thought of Queque.
Girls of this age seem to have a clear kind of stupidity, and are quite interesting when they talk.
The little girl racked her brains to think, without any sense of danger at all.
It took her a long while to think of her father's words, and she said excitedly: "My father said that you are the pioneer of the romantic formation, under the peony flower...under the peony flower...I don't remember."
Lu Zhan's face darkened, thinking that this housekeeper Zhao looked like a decent person, but he didn't expect that he would speak so highly of him behind his back... This little girl always spoke of her filial piety, but in the blink of an eye she betrayed her own father.
Seeing that Lu Zhan didn't answer, the little girl asked in a daze, "What does 'vanguard' mean, Lord Lu?"
Lu Zhan silently bore the grudge, but his face was as bright as a spring breeze. He said seriously: "It means to praise someone for being very capable. When you go home, you can praise your father like this in front of your mother."
The little girl blinked, seeming a little unconvinced.
Lu Zhan bewitched and asked, "I'm so powerful, you don't believe me?"
"I... I know that you are very powerful. My father and those elder sisters all said that you and Miss Chu are in love and are going to marry into the Monster Suppression Bureau. How powerful!" The little Lolita was once again full of filial piety, not realizing what she meant by what she said.
Okay... In my previous life, keyboard warriors were not as good at spreading rumors as you... Lu Zhan's smile became more and more kind: "What else did your father say?"
"They also said that Lord Lu is very cultured!" The little girl walked like a proud little peacock and said clearly: "Lord Lu, will you really marry Miss Chu?"
“Of course not.” Lu Zhan felt the need to maintain his image in front of Lolita. He said with a straight face, “These are just rumors. Miss Chu and I have a pure relationship. Don’t spread such things out there, otherwise you and your father will be in trouble.”
Even if he marries Xiao Chu, that doesn't mean he'll marry into the Demon Suppression Bureau... At least he has to marry the Chief of the Bureau to be considered as marrying into the Demon Suppression Bureau, right?
The little girl blinked, looking confused: "What kind of trouble will it be? That's what everyone says."
Lu Zhan looked at this stupid little girl and said with a smile: "You will be punished by me."
The little Loli scratched her head, revealing her clear stupidity to the fullest, as if she couldn't understand what Lu Zhan meant.
Seeing that she didn't understand what "punishment" was, Lu Zhan kindly explained it to her -
He stretched out his claws towards the little Loli's face.
The little girl's face was very soft and bouncy when pinched. Lu Zhan pinched it twice and threatened: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will crush your face!"
Normally, Lu Zhan would not have much patience for children. Perhaps it was because this little Lolita looked too much like Queque. Looking at her adorable appearance, he became more patient with her.
Well...it's definitely not the uncle's fault.
"Ah!! You actually pinched me, you can't!" The little girl jumped up as if she had received an electric shock. She covered her face and said, "Daddy said that men and women should not be intimate with each other. Sir Lu, you can't touch my face!"
She ran three meters away and hid behind a plum tree, with only half of her face showing, staring at Lu Zhan with her big eyes.
"This is your punishment. If you dare to talk nonsense again next time, it won't be as simple as pinching your face." Lu Zhan started to intimidate.
The little girl seemed to be frightened. She quietly poked her head out and said with a puffy face, "Master Lu actually bullied a child!"
"I wasn't bullying you just now, but I am now." Lu Zhan said, making a small snowball and throwing it at the little Loli.
"Ow!"
The snowball hit the little girl's chest. She let out a cry and sat down in the snow, like a small carrot stuck in the snow.
Lu Zhan was in a very good mood. He ignored the little loli and strode towards the front yard.
In the front yard, Butler Zhao was arranging a banquet to entertain his new master.
Seeing how hard he was working, Lu Zhan said with a half-smile, "Butler Zhao, your daughter is still young and doesn't know how dangerous the world is. It's better not to say some things in front of the child."
Rumors are never going to be killed. Lu Zhan did not make things difficult for Butler Zhao because of this matter. He just gave him some words of warning.
Butler Zhao looked confused.
Aha?
His daughter?
Butler Zhao was about to argue when he saw Lu Zhan turn around and leave. He thought for a moment and walked quickly towards Merlin.
……
Inside Wuyang Palace.
Wuyang Palace is the bedroom of the Grand Master. Normally, when the Grand Master is not in the Demon Suppression Bureau, he will rest in the bedroom.
Chu Wantang rushed all the way here to pay his respects to his master.
"Miss, please wait a moment. The princess has gone out and has not returned yet." The female official brought tea to Chu Wantang and said with a smile.
Chu Wantang was a little surprised: "Master, don't you know that I'm back today?"
"Of course I know. In the past, the princess would wait for the young lady to come back and pay her respects, but today the princess seems to have something urgent to do." The female official looked kind.
"I see..." Xiao Chu asked, "I heard that Master has recently developed a new type of disguise pill?"
"Yes, the princess has a deep understanding of elixirs. If you are interested, you can ask for two pills when the princess comes back." The female official said with a smile.
Chu Wantang nodded slightly, but did not continue speaking. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested.
Since becoming her master, she has been away for training over the years. Whenever she returns, her master will wait for her to pay her respects.
Today is the first time I'm not here.
Xiao Chu keenly sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
