Chapter 142 How do you think we should reward you?
When Ou Zanghua came back, he heard laughter coming from the living room and quickened his pace.

After seeing that the people coming were Mi Weiyi and others, he also smiled: "Mi Junior Brother Mi, why are you here?"

"Big Brother!"

When the three disciples of Hengshan School saw Ou Zanghua, they immediately stood up and bowed to greet him.

At his daughter's urging, Monk Bujie also stood up and performed the Buddhist salute.

"No need to be polite, we are all acquaintances, there is no need to be so troublesome." Ou Zanghua smiled and waved his hand, then walked over to sit next to Liu Qing.

"Husband, have you had dinner yet?" Liu Qing looked at Ou Zanghua and said gently, "I asked the kitchen to reserve some ingredients. We can just stir-fry them and eat them."

In the Song Dynasty, Meng Yuanlao recorded many stir-fried dishes in detail in his book "Dongjing Menghualu", but they were all stir-fried meats, including stir-fried seafood, etc. There was no record of stir-fried vegetables. By the Ming Dynasty, stir-frying had become a very common cooking method.

Ou Zanghua smiled and said gently: "I have eaten in the military camp."

"Big Brother, we came here this time because our master asked us to deliver this." Mi Weiyi opened a long package, revealing a wooden box inside.

After opening the wooden box again, he found a long sword inside.

Ou Zanghua took it and pulled it out. The sword was two feet and one inch long. The blade was made of thin black iron, emitting a faint cold light, and the hilt had pine tree patterns.

Looking at the scabbard again, there are four words engraved on it: "High wind and cold dew".

In addition, there was a letter in the wooden box, with "Dear Editor Ou" written on the cover.

Ou Zanghua took it out and opened it. It was written by Hou Renying. The letter described in detail what Yu Canghai did when he encountered Qingcheng Mountain, and promised that he would obey his master's orders and seal the temple for ten years.

"He passed away last night, and his heart was as calm as calm water. He was reborn this morning, and his heart is as bright as the rising sun." Ou Zanghua was a little surprised. He did not expect that Yu Canghai, who had an extreme personality, greed and cruelty, would realize such a profound truth in the last stage of his life.

"This is the sword of the abbot of Songfeng Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. They said they would store the parts with me and send a disciple to get it in ten years."

Ou Zanghua sheathed his sword and said calmly, "In that case, I will keep it for them for ten years!"

Everyone present, except Monk Bujie, showed an expression of understanding.

Xiang Danian said with emotion: "Although Master Yu did something wrong, he dared to take responsibility for his actions, and he is still a good man."

"Yu Canghai..." When Monk Bujie heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

Just as he was about to retort, his good girl immediately stopped him and stopped him from continuing.

"Are my father-in-law and mother-in-law okay?" Ou Zanghua pretended not to hear and turned to ask about the elders in the family.

"Don't worry, big brother," Mi Weiyi said with a smile, "Master is now discussing music and traveling with Senior Qu Yang every day, and he is very comfortable. But Master's wife is a little busy. When we were out, Junior Brother Qin's teacher came to say something in person, and Master's wife has been watching Junior Brother Qin every day. Even when Master wanted to say a few good words for Junior Brother Qin, Master's wife drove him out."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua and Liu Qing looked at each other and both laughed out loud.

Everyone started talking about what had happened recently in the martial arts world. Seeing that Liu Qing was interested, Ou Zanghua sat next to her and listened with her.

Wen Caile had gone to Huashan to invite people before, so he was quite concerned about Huashan. He talked about one thing: "I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Linghu of Huashan Sect. On the way back to Huashan, he got separated from Uncle Yue and others. Then he mixed up with some unorthodox sect of the Yellow River Patriarch, which made Uncle Yue furious. When he returned to Huashan, he put Senior Brother Linghu in confinement." Yi Lin couldn't help but feel worried when she heard this.

"Who is this? How dare you call yourself the ancestor of the Yellow River!" Jiang Yuan said somewhat unhappily.

"Otherwise why is it called unorthodox practice?" Xiang Da Nian shook his head, somewhat confused as to why Linghu Chong would get mixed up with these people.

"What's your big deal? I want to tell you something important concerning the safety of the martial arts world!" Monk Bujie spoke carelessly, and this time even Yilin didn't have time to stop him.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him. Monk Bujie grinned, "The Left Envoy of the Demon Cult, Xiang Wentian, known as 'The King of Heaven', has returned to the martial arts world!"

Everyone's expression froze and they subconsciously looked at Ou Zanghua who was sitting in the main seat.

Ou Zanghua was somewhat speechless. He put down the porcelain cup in his hand and asked, "Why? Are you planning to let me get rid of the Demon Guardian Dao?"

"No, no." The three of them quickly shook their heads. If they really let their eldest senior brother go to hunt down Xiang Wentian, Xiang Wentian would become even more crazy.

Ou Zanghua shook his head and gently reminded: "However, the martial arts world is full of disturbances, and your martial arts skills are not yet fully mastered. Don't be foolish enough to follow others to uphold justice."

"Big Brother, what kind of strength is required to be considered a master?" Wen Caile asked curiously.

"At least we have to reach Da Nian's current level." Ou Zanghua glanced at Xiang Da Nian and said happily.

Jiang Yuan and Wen Caile looked at Senior Brother Da Nian, their eyes full of challenge: "Please teach me something, Senior Brother!"

"It's a little late today, let's do it tomorrow morning!" Xiang Danian did not refuse, and was even very happy in his heart. He felt that what the senior brother said was a recognition of himself.

On the second day, Ou Zanghua went to the military camp to finish the remaining work as usual, and then he was supposed to return to Beijing.

At this moment in the capital, Emperor Zhengde was reading the memorial written by Lü Fang again and again. When he saw Yang Tinghe coming in, he handed the memorial to him and said, "Mr. Yang, please read this to me."

Yang Tinghe took the memorial calmly and began to read it in a rhythmic manner. As he was reading, he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but glance at the signature. It was the eunuch Lu Fang, the deputy secretary of the Duzhijian. He remembered that this man was a low-key person.

So this letter is real?

Who was the last person who quelled a rebellion without any soldiers?

As Yang Tinghe was reciting, an idea quickly flashed through his mind. It seemed that Li Mi, the Minister of the Secretariat of the Tang Dynasty, solved the rebellion in Shanzhou single-handedly without any soldiers.

"How is it?" Emperor Zhengde waited for Yang Tinghe to finish reading, then immediately came up and asked with a smile.

Yang Tinghe smiled and said gently, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Ou Xiuzhuan's kindness and compassion moved the rebels with his sincerity, making them return to the right path and saving the court from a war. This is a great achievement."

Ou Zanghua and his son Yang Shen were both admitted as Jinshi in the same year, and they had a very good relationship. Before Ou Zanghua left Beijing, they would have dinner together from time to time to meet friends.

Therefore, Yang Tinghe had a pretty good impression of Ou Zanghua, who was one of the few good friends of his son.

"Isn't it?" Emperor Zhengde snatched back the memorial, paced back and forth in the palace, and said with joy: "Great achievements deserve great rewards! Otherwise, who would be willing to serve the court in the future? Yang Qing, how do you think the reward should be?"
