Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 224 Fired

The next day, the waiter actually found a guest for Lu Xunhuan who was going to Guangshui Town.

Under the man's guidance, Lu Xunhuan crossed mountains and rivers and arrived at Guangshui Town.

After some inquiries, he found Lu Chenglong's brother and sister-in-law.

He said that he was sent by Lu Chenglong, and brought some words and gave them some money, asking them to live a good life at home.

Moreover, he didn't dare to give more money.

The world is too chaotic. Giving them too much might end up hurting them.

After some arguing, he made an excuse that he had something else to do and left.

His brother and sister-in-law had warmly invited him to dinner.

He felt quite uncomfortable when he saw their poor life, and had no mood to eat.

But even when he left, his brother and sister-in-law still sent him to the main road, said many caring words, and asked him to bring them to Lu Chenglong.

After leaving Guangshui Town, he hurried back quickly.

As he walked, he thought that he must find the Shenlong Pavilion as soon as possible and inquire about the news of the dragon bones. He could not stay in Nanjun City any longer.

But when he returned to Tongmu County, he saw a large army hurriedly crossing the border and heading towards Tongmu Pass in the dust.

He hurriedly asked passers-by and learned that the Zhou Kingdom had assembled a large army and was attacking Tongmu Pass.

The garrisons of the three counties near Tongmu Pass were rushing to provide reinforcements.

After listening to this, he sighed secretly.

After the Eighteenth Prince came to power, there was turmoil in the country. Has he started to cause trouble in neighboring countries?

Does China still have the national strength to launch a war of aggression?

After thinking for a while, he thought that various conflicts broke out in the country last week, perhaps because of the rule of a foolish ruler.

The Sixth Prince and his gang may have deliberately started such a war in order to divert public attention.

He was too lazy to care and let them fight.

He walked around the city and bought a very nice horse, equipped it with a saddle, bridle, etc., and rode it, intending to return to Nanjun City as soon as possible.

But when he left the city and drove along the highway for thirty miles, he met the escort team again.

The escort company came to deliver the goods, and I rested for a night last night. Today, I bought some local specialties in Tongmu County, and then returned.

They set out about half an hour earlier than Lu Xunhuan.

Although the cargo on the carriage is now much lighter, it can also run faster.

But it was no match for Lu Xunhuan's galloping horse, and was caught up by Lu Xunhuan from behind.

When the escorts saw him, they quickly greeted him: "Great writer..."

Lu Xunhuan had to slow down his horse and keep pace with them.

One of the escorts said, "Great writer, we encountered robbers in the canyon the day before yesterday. We are a little worried when we return this time."

The implication was that Lu Xunhuan should go with them again so that they would be safer if they encountered robbers again.

After all, after they delivered the goods, they collected the money and kept it with them.

Lu Xunhuan couldn't be so cruel as to abandon them, especially that girl. She had been so kind to stay with him that night, so he should repay her.

He immediately said, "Then let's go back to Nanjun City together."

The escorts felt relieved immediately and couldn't help cheering.

Then, he talked and laughed with Lu Xunhuan along the way.

Lu Xun Huan talked to everyone for a while, then rode up to the girl and said, "Sometimes, misunderstandings can be really embarrassing."

The girl asked, "What's the misunderstanding?"

Lu Xun Huan whispered, "I'm just grateful for helping me protect the thief. I don't have any other thoughts. I didn't expect you to overthink it."

The girl felt guilty and couldn't help but smile: "Have you seen it at home?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yeah."

He asked the girl, "I heard there's an organization called the Shenlong Pavilion in the Jianghu. I'm quite curious. Have you heard of it?"

He was just talking nonsense, so as to avoid running out of topics and making everyone awkward again.

Unexpectedly, the girl looked around and waved to him: "Come on the carriage, I will tell you."

Lu Xunhuan was quite surprised and stunned.

The Shenlong Pavilion is so mysterious that even the Immortal Friends Association doesn’t know about it. How could this girl know about it?

He jumped from the horse onto the carriage and sat next to the girl.

The girl whispered, "I have a childhood friend. When she was about eight years old, she went to the Qinglian Sect to cultivate immortality."

"But last year, she came back."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Could it be that she knows about the Shenlong Pavilion?"

The girl covered her mouth and whispered, "She is a member of the Shenlong Pavilion. She told me secretly and asked me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone."

"I'm going to tell you, a great writer, today, but you must never tell anyone."

She asked Lu Xunhuan, "Where did you hear about the Shenlong Pavilion?"

Lu Xun Huan also covered his mouth and whispered, "I'm going to tell you something, but you must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else."

The girl nodded: "Tell me, I will keep it a secret."

Lu Xunhuan said, "I am also a member of the Shenlong Pavilion, but from another branch."

"I arrived in Nanjun City and wanted to find the Shenlong Pavilion here, but I didn't know where to find it. I was worried."

The girl was surprised and asked, "You too?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yeah, I'd be lying to you like a puppy."

The girl asked, "So, what does Shenlong Pavilion do?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Didn't your childhood friend tell you?"

The girl shook her head: "I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me. She just said she had a mission and that she wouldn't disturb or harm anyone."

Lu Xun Huan whispered to her, "Uphold justice in the world."

The girl pondered the matter in her mind and opened her eyes wide: "Could it be... the masked man..."

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "I want to know too. How about this, after we return to the city, introduce your childhood friend to me."

The girl hesitated and said, "But I promised her not to tell anyone else, even you..."

Lu Xun Huan whispered to her, "When the time comes, you go to see her and I'll follow you secretly. That should be fine. Later, I can go find her myself."

The girl nodded: "Okay."

Everyone rested for one night and returned to Nanjun City the next day.

There were no more robbers in that canyon.

It seems that after Lu Xunhuan killed fifty or sixty people two days ago, the survivors have fled elsewhere.

Lu Xunhuan asked the girl for her address in the city, then rode back to the Imperial Examination Hall.

Lord Sun happened to be at the Imperial Examination Hall. Seeing him return, he stared at the horse with a smile and said, "Oh, you really bought a horse for the Imperial Examination Hall. Thank you."

He reached out and pulled the reins without any hesitation, shouting, "Master, Master..."

The old man driving the carriage came over quickly: "Master Sun, shall we change horses?"

Lord Sun handed him the reins: "Yes, you can take it."

The old man happily led the horse and said, "Oh, this horse is good. It's probably a war horse raised near Tongmu Pass."

Lord Sun looked at the horse again and said, "No way, a horse from the army?"

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Where did you buy it?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I bought it in Tongmu County. I don't know if it's a war horse, I just know it's very good."

Lord Sun said to the old man, "Never mind, it's a good horse, so take it and use it."

After the old man happily left, Lord Sun patted Lu Xunhuan and said, "Chenglong, Madam will give you a holiday, but the tuition fees should still be paid, right?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "You don't even have classes anymore, but you're still paying tuition. Are you overthinking it, sir?"

Lord Sun hummed and lowered his voice.

"There are already rumors in the city that the lady has been bewitched by the great writer. Whenever the writer teaches the children, she always follows suit and wishes she could hang out with him all day long."

Lu Xun Huan took out the banknote and handed it to him: "Is it enough to shut you up?"

Lord Sun took the banknote and laughed heartily: "That's enough, that's enough. If I hear such absurd rumors again, I will be the first to help refute them."

He pocketed the banknote and said, "Isn't that respectful?"

Without waiting for Lu Xunhuan to answer, he took out a letter.

"The governor wrote this to me while he was ill in bed. After reading this, I try to keep a peaceful mind. After all, there are beautiful women everywhere in life, right?"

Lu Xun Huan took the letter out of the envelope and said, "There are always beautiful women in the world."

Lord Sun clapped his hands and said, "Yes, there is always someone better out there."

Lu Xunhuan unfolded the letter and read it.

It turned out that he was fired by the governor of the state for misconduct and frivolity.

After reading the letter, he understood what was going on.

The governor of the prefecture had long since distanced himself from his wife and become close to his concubine.

That concubine must be thinking about overthrowing the mistress all the time so that she can become her legal wife.

The lady was interested in him, although it was limited to kissing and hugging secretly, but the expression in her eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden from everyone.

I guess the concubine secretly whispered something to the governor.

Therefore, the governor of the state no longer wanted him to be a private tutor.

After reading the letter, he crumpled it up and stuffed it back to Lord Sun.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Lord Sun said, "It's okay for now. Don't be discouraged. I will arrange a second home for you."

Lu Xun Huan turned around and said, "Don't make any more arrangements. I'm not interested in being a private trainer."

After saying this, he left the Imperial Examination Hall.
