Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Eve of Leaving the City
When Master Chen saw that Master Cui had left his mansion, he turned around and walked towards the guest room.
He knocked on the door first, and only pushed the door in when he heard someone inside say "Come in". As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned, only to feel that there was a strange atmosphere in this room.
The fat Taoist priest Li Xiaoyao pinched a teacup in his hand, and was drinking the tea lightly, and there was a tea leaf hanging on the side of his mouth. And Li Congjia, the king of Anding County, tilted his head on the side, silent, looking like he was wandering out of the world, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Lying on the bed was the young man Ye Yinfeng, with a lazy demeanor, looking at the strange uncle and nephew. And there was a yellow dog lying next to the bed, a yellow dog that was very old and his yellow hair was about to fall off. When the yellow dog saw Chen Shounian enter the door, he just opened the dog's eyes and looked at it, and then lowered his eyelids again.
Master Chen first asked the king of Anding, who was wandering outside the world, but all he got was a low whisper, maybe he hadn't come out of his thoughts yet.
Seeing this, the fat Taoist priest Li Xiaoyao gave him a warm smile, and then said: "Master Chen, your mansion is busy, so I don't have to entertain you anymore." I'm already guilty of interrupting. ”
"It's okay, Lord Yin Cui of the Dehua Mansion came just now, Dehua City has not been peaceful recently, and the lower officials are also thinking about your safety. Seeing that everyone is fine, my heart has been put down. ”
As soon as Li Xiaoyao heard it, he knew why Master Cui came to the Chen Mansion, and he didn't break it, after all, the less people knew about it, the better. Although this Chen Shounian is also an official of the imperial court, he is not a martial artist after all, so it is better to know little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. But he also has a great impression of his loyal example, after all, he came to remind himself of the safety of everyone, especially his little nephew Li Congjia.
"Uncle Chen, this king wants to return to the imperial capital these days, I don't know what arrangements Uncle Chen has."
The little fat man Li Congjia had already woken up, and he said what he thought.
And Ye Yinfeng, who was on the bed, didn't speak, he could only listen to this kind of thing.
"The king of the county wants to return to the imperial capital?" Chen Shounian was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the other party to go back so soon. However, it is not safe to stay in this Dehua City, after all, there have been two murders in the past two days, and if someone comes to the king of Anding, he will inevitably be implicated. It is a small matter that he lost his life, and the main thing is that he cannot complete the errand given to him by the emperor.
"Yes, this king has been thinking about something lately. This Dehua City is not peaceful now, maybe some people are coming for this king, as long as they leave this Dehua City, it will not pose any danger to Uncle Chen. After all, the father's business is important, and he must not delay the business for the sake of the king. It depends on the day, whether we leave by boat or by land, I don't know what Uncle Chen's arrangements are. Li Congjia only showed the temperament that a county king should have at this time, and an invisible majesty emanated from him.
"Xia Guan thinks that it is more appropriate to take the waterway, there are batches of materials to be transported to the imperial capital in a few days, and the merchant ships have already been arranged, I don't know what the king of the county wants."
Chen Shounian said cautiously, looking at Li Congjia from time to time.
"Master Chen has a heart, so be it, just notify when the merchant ship will set sail."
Li Xiaoyao took over the conversation for his nephew and made a decision, this matter should not be delayed. Faintly, he felt that it would be more unsafe to take the road by road, and the road would be more difficult. Walking by water is not only quick and convenient, but also safe, but now the cold weather is not the best time to take the waterway.
"Since this is the case, then the lower officials will arrange it, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
After Chen Shounian finished speaking, he turned around and left, without a little mud and water, and he didn't ask about relevant matters at this moment, which shows that he is already very aware of the seriousness of this matter in his heart.
"Can this person be trusted?" Ye Yinfeng looked at the back of Chen Shounian leaving, and asked the uncle and nephew. This matter is very important, it is related to the king of Anding and his own life, if the other party betrays him, then the three of them will be buried under the cold water of the Yangtze River.
"Wen Yuan, it's serious, if Uncle Chen can't believe it, then there is no one who can be trusted in this Datang."
Li Congjia only smiled bitterly at Ye Yinfeng's suspicions, and he was still very confident in Chen Shounian's loyalty.
With a "snap", the little fat man received a heavy slap on the back of the head. Startled, he turned around.
saw Li Xiaoyao with his eyebrows upside, staring at him with anger, and a trace of puzzlement appeared in Li Congjia's eyes.
"You little sixth son, what do you say, what is the person that Datang has no trust, isn't your thirteenth uncle a person you trust. And my junior brother lying on the bed, isn't it, full of nonsense. ”
Li Xiaoyao looked indignant, and his fat face turned red, and he looked like a boy who scattered wealth, but the atmosphere was a little wrong.
"That's not what I meant, of course you're the ones I trust the most."
Li Congjia hugged his head to prevent the other party from sneaking up again, he shouted in his mouth, and asked Ye Yinfeng for help.
And the yellow dog under the bed opened its cloudy dog eyes curiously, looking at the pair of uncles and nephews, maybe it was also confused, why was the fat teenager silent for a while, and shouted for a while.
???????????
Every man sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and he must take care of the frost on the tiles of others.
At this time, this scene is not suitable for this Dehua City, the night before yesterday a heavy snow shrouded the entire Dehua City in a white vastness, and today, the streets and alleys of the entire Dehua City are everywhere to see piles of snow.
The people of Dehua City are indeed simple, and some people have long organized to clean up the thick snow on the street, whether it is in front of their own house or other houses, they have been cleaned in an orderly manner. The streets were full of mud, and the snow melted and flowed.
From time to time, children cheered, and perhaps a pile of snow was transformed into a strange snowman by their rich imagination. Snow was once again the object of venting for these children, who had no tools to play with, and clumps of snow shuttled through their hands.
"Bang",
The ball of snow in a child's hand flew out and hit a fat boy directly.
The child's eyes looked terrified at the three strange men who were approaching him, followed by an old yellow dog. A chubby fat Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, a fat boy dressed in brocade, and a more pleasing young man in a blue shirt.
The three strange men were looking at him with a smile, and the child's heart suddenly became terrified. I thought they were here to catch me, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
Suddenly, there was a cry of "wow", which caused the child next to him to be stunned and stopped playing.
With a bang, the children fled in all directions as if they had exploded, and suddenly there was no more child playing on the street. All that was left was the child crouching on the ground crying.
Ye Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help touching his nose, he obviously didn't expect this kind of accident.
Li Congjia was silent, took out a copper coin from his arms and walked towards the child.
The boy crouched on the ground and cried with his head in his hands, and he probably heard the footsteps of someone approaching him, and thought that the three men were coming to catch him, and he couldn't help but be even more frightened. The crying became louder and louder, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.
After a long time, he didn't feel any movement, he couldn't help but let go of his crying, and looked out through his fingers, only to find a shiny copper coin in front of his eyes. He removed his hand from his eyes, only to see that the chubby boy had a copper coin in his palm in front of him.
Seeing this, the child stopped crying, and looked curiously at the fat boy opposite, as if asking if it was for me. Then he got a nod from the fat boy. The child couldn't help but smile the most innocently, quickly took the copper coin from the fat boy's palm, and ran away at a speed like a rat.
The three of them looked at the child who was scurrying like a rat and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Fat Daoist, why did the Chen Mansion find so many boys and girls crying spirits, it should be more than just crying spirits." The three of them walked on this muddy street, and Ye Yinfeng asked Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao listened, and gave the other party a roll of his eyes, but he did not answer this question. He has objected to the title of "fat Taoist" countless times, but each time he has been defeated, because he can't say the other party. The other party sometimes said "fat brother", or simply said "fat Taoist", which made him very unhappy, every time he raised his fist and wanted to beat him, the other party came to "Bullying the injured and sick, what is it." Words like that crushed him to death. Fight and can't fight, he can't talk about the other party, every time he grits his teeth with hatred for Ye Yinfeng, but he is always helpless.
The three of them and a dog walked to the street in the east of the city, and Ye Yinfeng helped the door of the Chen Ji bun shop. There was silence in the bun shop, a stack of steamers was placed on the board in front of the door, but there was not a single bun inside. There were a few remnants of snow on the board, and the snow began to melt and flow down the board.
"Let's go, they're gone."
Ye Yinfeng sighed and said to the two fat men beside him, but his body was endlessly lonely. Although he felt that the couple in the bun shop were not ordinary people, maybe there was some purpose for giving the buns to himself. But none of this matters, after all, two buns a day has been enough for more than a month.
The smell of the meat bun still lingered in his mind, and the obscene boss's eyes looking at the boss's plump breasts seemed to be right in front of him, and the boss's fierce body and her rough voice appeared in front of his eyes again.
Although the unknown steamed bun seller couple left, they may never see them again, but they gave themselves another kind of warmth to wander in this Dehua city.
Ye Yinfeng walked in front without a sound, followed by Li Xiaoyao's uncle and nephew, who also remained silent, while the yellow dog followed behind them with his tail wagging.
Ahead was a simple thatched hut, and a thick layer of snow had piled up on the roof, and the melted snow water was flowing down the roof, and the ground was muddy.
The front door of the house was also closed, and several messy iron pieces were placed haphazardly, and the ground was covered with iron filings, scattered like stars.
This room is the shop of the blacksmith Tong Cangtai, but at this time it is empty, and the two decaying wooden pillars in front of the house are telling the busy figure of the past.
Ye Yinfeng remembered the first time he was lying by the river, when he met Xiaohu, a young man with a tiger's head but a kind nature. This Tong father and son are the people he met in Dehua City who can really give him warmth, and they healed the wounds after the death of their family. Let themselves have a solid backing in exile in Dehua City, and now they are going back to their own lives.
How can a sigh of emotion represent the mood in Ye Yinfeng's heart at this time, how can a melancholy make him forget this thick father and son, and how can a sigh make him forget this person who once warmed him.
Who rescued him in the surging river, it was the Tong father and son, in his eyes, the Tong blacksmith was still the child blacksmith, not the famous Tong Cangtai protector of Haotian Sect.
Although he has tens of millions of emotions in his heart, he only has gratitude in his heart for this Dehua City, where he has only lived for more than a month.
He still has thousands of thoughts in his heart, and he only has strength and forbearance in his heart for the days of his exile.
Ye Yinfeng's heart suddenly brightened, and he felt that a shackle in his heart had been broken.
"Click",
He clearly heard a slight sound in his dantian, and after that sound, a warm current flowed from his dantian to his whole body. instantly moistened his whole body, and the acupoints of his whole body were comfortable, as if bathed in the warm sun of that spring day.
He knew that he had already reached the late stage of the One Qi Realm, and he was almost about to reach the One Qi Realm Consummation Realm. The "Taiqing Jue" he cultivated was different from other internal martial arts methods, and the general martial arts realm was divided into the acquired realm, that is, the outer strength realm and the internal strength realm, and after the internal strength realm was the innate realm. And his exercises are not the same as these realm divisions. It is divided into the Qi Transformation Realm, followed by the One Qi Realm, which can also be called the Qi Condensation Realm, and then the Three Qing Realm. It is divided according to the "Taiqing Jue": "Baihui is one gas, one gas is three clear, three clear gives birth to three flowers, and three flowers are gathered at the top".
Maybe the shackles of thought have been broken, but his martial arts realm has also broken through.
Three people and a dog stood on the street where the cold wind was blowing wantonly, and the sky was still blank.
