Chapter 1220: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (2)
After hearing this news, Wei Yanshan pondered for a moment and then said, "Was this welcoming banquet personally arranged by the governor?"
He was a military officer, and things like this were originally within his responsibilities. But now this job seemed...
"General Wei, don't worry too much. The governor still trusts you." Zhao De, the former military officer, patted Wei Yanshan on the shoulder. "Master Hua Ning is the governor's distinguished guest, and he personally invited him.
Therefore, the governor has handed this matter over to his nephew, Huo Xiaoye, to handle it. It's not that he doesn't want you, but no matter who you are, there are always relatives and friends."
"Yes! Huo Biejia has worked hard and made great contributions over the years, and he is often injured. The governor asked him to receive Taoist Master Huaning, probably to treat his injuries." Others also echoed.
After hearing these words, Wei Yanshan felt a little better.
Afterwards, they worked and chatted as usual!
It was soon noon, and according to usual practice, everyone should have started eating by now.
But today no one got up, nor did anyone seem to start eating. They were all waiting for a piece of news - the news that Hua Ning had arrived at the post station.
As expected, just after noon, someone came to inform us that Taoist Priest Huaning had entered the city.
"The governor said that Taoist Priest Hua Ning's visit is a private one, so he doesn't need too many people to accompany him," the messenger conveyed Dou Yuanzheng's intention. "Just attend the welcoming banquet tonight. For the rest, please make your own arrangements."
The others didn't think much of this news. At most, they thought that they would be able to meet the legendary Taoist Master Huaning in the evening.
But Wei Yanshan's face looked extremely bad.
He had originally wanted to take advantage of this reception to get a chance to see a patient first, but now all his plans have gone to waste.
Wei Yanshan, unwilling to give up, stood up and walked out. Even though he couldn't talk to Taoist Priest Huaning, he still wanted to show his face in front of the other party as an official.
——I am the dividing line of location change
Noon, Yongzhou Posthouse.
The carriage that Taoist Priest Huaning was riding in had already slowly entered the city. As the carriage was quite large, many people stopped to watch.
But they were just looking, no one dared to move forward.
because
"It seems the governor attaches great importance to this Taoist priest Huaning! He even sent his own nephew, Master Xiao Huo, to pick him up."
"That's right. And don't you think Master Xiao Huo looks particularly energetic today? Not to mention, this crimson robe looks really good on him."
"Yes, yes! Once I put on this red official uniform, I look like a groom."
"In fact, if we only talk about appearance, Lord Xiao Huo is definitely the most handsome man in Yongzhou. Unfortunately, he is too cold-blooded. Killing people is as easy as killing chickens. That's why he has not yet married."
"The sin of killing is too great. Many people are worried that it will bring disaster to their descendants in the future. The most important thing is that I heard that he is also unlucky in marriage..."
These waves of discussions were blown into Huo Xiaoye's ears by the wind. He was already feeling very proud when he heard those people say that he was wearing red like the groom.
But before he could hear a few good words, they brought up the matter of "unlucky wife" again, and Huo Xiaoye was very unhappy.
Of course, it wasn't just Huo Xiaoye who heard this, there was also Du Ruoheng who was leaning against the carriage window observing the situation outside.
Perhaps imagining the other person's expression at the moment, Du Ruoheng opened the car curtain a little. Just as her slender white hand stretched out a little, Huo Xiaoye appeared at the window on horseback.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. One of them opened his palm and put down a candy without caring whether the other could catch it or not.
One of them opened his hands and took something to make himself happy the moment Du Ruoheng let go.
No one spoke, but it seemed as if everything had been said. Perhaps all the comforting words were contained in this candy.
When they arrived at the entrance of the post station, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman in a green Taoist robe appeared.
She was wearing a veil, her face half-revealed. Just as she was about to get off the carriage, Huo Xiaoye, who had dismounted, grabbed her and supported her. He kept muttering, "Master Hua Ning, I'll hold you. Watch your step. Your carriage is a bit high."
Du Ruoheng was helpless. Huo Xiaoye really thought of herself as a weak woman. After all, she had learned some Taoist boxing from her master, so she didn't need help to get out of the carriage.
She just looked up and met Huo Xiaoye's eyes, and she didn't refuse anymore.
Wei Yanshan stood in the crowd behind Dou Yuanzheng, thinking about how to get close to this person.
Suddenly, I found that the figure of this Taoist priest was inexplicably familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
Although he felt somewhat disgusted with his nephew's worthless appearance, Dou Yuanzheng still stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "Master Huaning has come from afar. The people of Yongzhou are deeply honored."
Du Ruoheng nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "You are too polite, Lord Governor. I am only here to treat illnesses and save lives. There is no need for formalities."
