From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 190 The Third Miss's Mission
It is autumn now, the summer heat has not dissipated, and the world remains green.

It's only a little chilly when you wake up in the middle of the night.

It was evening at this time. Meng Yuan stepped into Jingyuan and came to the lake.

Cicadas are chirping in the willows, frogs are croaking. Yingru is sitting in front of a low table in the pavilion, wearing a light-colored robe, with his jet-black hair undressed.

Maybe because she had just come out of the bath, there was a bit of a girlish blush on her face.

But her clothes covered her figure, so I couldn't tell how slim she was, nor could I see her fair and tender feet.

Since they were not outsiders, Meng Yuan stepped forward, bowed, and sat directly opposite Ying Rushi.

Ying Rushi seemed a little displeased with Meng Yuan's casualness. She frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Jiang Tang walked forward and poured tea for Meng Yuan. Xiangling eagerly crawled behind Ying Rushi and started to tidy up her hair.

"Jiang Tang, take Xiangling out." Ying Rushi drove them away.

Now Jiang Tang has become Ying Rushi's disciple and has been learning Taoist techniques. She has become a real little Taoist nun.

Logically speaking, Ying Rushi is of the same generation as Xuan Jizi, and Jiang Tang is of the same generation as Zhao Jingsheng and others, that is, the "Jing" generation.

However, Ying Ru was used to being lazy, so he didn't give Jiang Tang a Taoist name, and he still used his secular name.

Jiang Tang held the whisk and stood up obediently.

"I've already found a hairband, you don't want to braid it?" Xiangling stared at him with big eyes, "Third Grandma, I won't delay your nice conversation."

"I don't need your wages. Go find Mei Zhisanwen." Ying said.

"Okay!" Xiangling was blinded by the money. She bowed happily, blinked twice at Meng Yuan, and then ran away.

Without the annoying little weasel, Ying Ru sighed softly.

Meng Yuan lowered his eyebrows. He knew that although the Third Miss was a married woman, it was no different from being a widow.

At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, he spends his days guarding a small pond and a small pavilion, taking a bath three times a day, and reciting Taoist scriptures and practicing Taoism. It is really a pity.

Meng Yuan wanted to speak, and also wanted to relieve the worries of the Third Miss and the master, but he held it back.

"You entered the palace training ground last year." Ying Rushi's eyebrows were elegant, and her beautiful face still had a bit of laziness, but also a bit of nostalgia. "Hu Qian has been with me since she was a child. She read books and characters when she was young, and then studied Taoist classics. It did wash away a lot of her restlessness, but eating clouds and swallowing air is not suitable for her. I didn't force her to practice Taoism. Jiang Tang's temperament is not suitable for Taoism's inaction. Although she has few thoughts and lacks ambition, she just wants to learn something so that she can help you and raise your husband and children in the future. But she has a tough temperament, which is in line with the method of practicing Taoism."

Ying Ru said this, then looked at Meng Yuan and said, "Now Jiang Tang can be considered my personal disciple. When you two get married in the future, what should you call me?"

So you said so much and went through so much trouble just because you think I covet you? You think I'm being disrespectful? And you want her to call you grandma, just like when you first met Xiangling?
"I will always belong to the Third Miss!" Meng Yuan replied.

Ying Ru looked at Meng Yuan and stopped forcing him. He just said, "The people who came with you have already opened more than half of the lower thirty-three heavens. You have already entered the seventh level, which is quite fast."

Meng Yuan didn't say anything nonsense about the Third Young Lady's good teaching. He just raised his head, looked at Ying Rushi, and waited for her teaching.

"How many places have been opened among the thirty-three heavens now?" you should ask.

When Meng Yuan was in Hulu Mountain, he had already opened nine acupoints. After returning, although he was bothered by the various matters in the garrison, he worked hard all the time and even washed his face less often. So far, he has opened ten more acupoints. Therefore, he has opened nineteen acupoints in the upper thirty-three heavens.

"Open nineteen." Meng Yuan answered honestly.

Ying Rushi was not surprised to hear this. She just nodded slightly and looked at Meng Yuan deeply.

"I'm afraid it will be fully developed in another month or two." Ying Ru praised and asked, "What kind of divine power do you want to cultivate?"

"There are the martial arts of the Demon Suppression Bureau, such as the Spring Thunder and Floating Light Cave Heaven. There are also the Misty Rain and Flying Rainbow passed down from the Qingyang Palace, and the Burning Heart passed down from the Third Miss." Meng Yuan answered honestly.

"The Demon Suppression Bureau has a lot of martial arts, including methods of attack and defense. Go back and find Zhang Guinian and ask him to ask his superiors for some." Ying Ru was quite familiar with the affairs of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"I know. Master Nie has made a plan for me." Meng Yuan did not dare to lie. His father-in-law told him all the martial arts of the Demon Suppression Bureau that he knew, and waited for Meng Yuan to make contributions before asking for them.

And with Xiang Qingshan's help, it is not difficult to learn the new martial arts of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"I forgot that you have a father-in-law who used to work in the Demon Suppression Bureau." Ying Rushi smiled faintly and said, "Make some preparations and leave for the capital the day after tomorrow to celebrate my mother's birthday."

"How many people do you want to take? What else do you want to bring?" Meng Yuan already knew the purpose of Ying Rushi summoning him here.

"Jiang Tang is my apprentice. She is the leader on this trip. You are responsible for her protection." Ying Ru arranged it clearly. "Nie Yannian will go with you. You can go to the training ground to pick a few outstanding ones. For the rest, go find Mei."

"Besides escorting Miss Jiang, is there anything else important?" Meng Yuan asked in a low voice.

The purpose of this trip is to go to Shenjing to celebrate the birthday of the third young lady's mother. In addition to Jiang Tang acting on behalf of the teacher, gifts are naturally needed.

To put it bluntly, it was the birthday gift. But Meng Yuan had to find out how much this birthday gift was worth.

Ying Rushi glanced at Meng Yuan after hearing this, then frowned and said, "You are going to celebrate Nie Yannian's birthday. What kind of gold, silver, or treasures do you want to give him? Paintings, calligraphy, or precious jade?"

"No need." Meng Yuan was very reasonable, "I don't need to give him anything, I have to take a few more things from him!"

"That's it." Ying Rushi was annoyed. "It's just a few boxes of scriptures. They're not worth much. If anything happens, just throw them away."

"Yes." Meng Yuan replied aggrievedly, thinking to himself, isn't it just that he only brought one person?
"Anything else you want to ask?" Ying Rushi already seemed to want to chase him away.

Meng Yuan thought to himself that he had been humble, submissive and respectful. Although he had something on his mind, he had not offended the Third Miss. Why did she look like she wanted to chase him away?
How can you win people over like this? Aren't you really afraid that one day the evil servant will bully the master? Meng Yuan didn't dare to say anything more, and only asked in a low voice: "Miss San, when you arrive in Shenjing, how should you find... your old friend?"

"I knew it." Ying Ru looked at Meng Yuan with disdain and said, "I really don't know whether you are ambitious or just too daring."

"Miss Third, Miss Mingyue and I have fought side by side. It is only natural for me to talk to her about old times when I arrive at her territory," said Meng Yuan.

"Oh, so you're talking about Mingyue. I thought you were talking about Ke Qiuxian." Ying Rushi's voice became colder and colder. "Nie Yannian is well-known in Beijing, so he can certainly help you find out."

Seeing that the third young lady was unwilling to say more, Meng Yuan was about to stand up and leave.

"Wait." Ying Ru pulled out a parchment scroll from behind him and said, "Senior Brother Xuanjizi gave you a gift of the God of Heaven. This method is stronger than the Heart Burning Method, but it consumes too much jade liquid, and it is only a method of self-defense."

Ying Rushi glanced at the parchment scroll and said, "This secret method is in line with your personality, so it should be given to you."
