Qingshi's cheeks were cleanly shaved, and he walked into the city lord's mansion with a radiant face and fresh clothes.
Yan Ruyun was busy with affairs, and Qingshi was turned away twice when he visited. Today, it was Yan Ruyun who specially sent someone to invite him.
"Young hero Qingshi!" Yan Ruyun greeted him outside the living room door, looked at Qingshi and said, "Last night I learned that young hero was blocked twice when he came here. This is really a neglect. Ruyun will apologize to you. Yes!" He said and bowed slightly to apologize.
"How dare you!" Qingshi said with a smile, "The city lord has many things to do, of course I understand. I shouldn't have bothered you originally, but I do have some things that I need to meet with the city lord, so please understand."
"Young hero, please come in quickly!" Yan Ruyun said while letting Qingshi into the room, "I have already scolded the gatekeeper Lao Wang. From now on, young hero Qingshi can come in directly whenever he comes. If he dares to stop You, just whip him for me."
After entering the living room, Yan Ruyun ordered his servants to serve tea, but he stared at the bluestone, looking left and right, and finally burst into laughter. Yan Ruyun has been in a high position for a long time and has a strong aura. She speaks and acts like a man, but this smile reveals a bit of her true nature as a daughter.
"City Lord..." Qingshi looked at his clothes uncomfortably and said, "But is there something wrong with me?"
"It's nothing!" Yan Ruyun said while suppressing his smile, "I think you look more handsome now that you've shaved your beard cleanly. Looking at you, you look like you're here for a blind date or a marriage proposal."
When he killed the sixth general of the Xianqu Army, Qingshi changed his disguise and grew a full beard. He didn't shave it off until now. Unexpectedly, he was teased by Yan Ruyun. Qingshi naturally understood what she meant by this.
"The city lord is joking..." Qingshi touched his bare cheek and chin and said awkwardly, "I really have something to ask for advice, and I would never dare to blaspheme the city lord with the love between children and men and women."
"Well! That's good. I don't think Young Hero Qingshi is like those boring people. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"May I ask the City Lord, is Senior Yan Dunhuang the City Lord's great-grandfather?"
"Yes! Why do you ask?"
"Excuse me, is your great-grandfather still alive? I was entrusted by a senior to ask him the whole story of something that happened."
"I don't know what you are asking about?"
"This matter is old, I'm afraid the city lord won't know about it."
"How old is it? Haha, I am almost three hundred years old this year. To be disrespectful, Young Master Qingshi, you are just a young boy in front of me. I probably know more things than you."
"The thing I want to ask about is a major event that happened more than five hundred years ago."
"More than five hundred years ago? But is it related to the disaster in the Shenmu Continent?"
"To be honest, I don't know. However, I think it might have something to do with it."
"Well..." Yan Ruyun said thoughtfully, "To be honest, although my great-grandfather is still alive, he is not in good health. He went into seclusion many years ago. Even I haven't seen him for more than 20 years. Get past him."
"That's it..." Qingshi didn't expect it to be like this. With his great contribution to Baiyun City, he couldn't even get Yan Ruyun to agree to meet Yan Dunhuang. This shows that Yan Dunhuang's situation must be very special and it is indeed difficult to see him. Qingshi couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Young Hero Qingshi," Yan Ruyun said, "If you can trust me, you might as well tell me what you want to ask. Maybe I know something about it."
"Okay!" Qingshi said, "More than five hundred years ago, a group of monks came from the Tianlong Continent. There were seven of them in total, and all of them were masters of the Divine Origin Realm with complete Qi. The leader was the same person who came from the Tianlong Continent back then. Jiang Tianlong, the emperor of the Tianlong Dynasty. It is said that their destination is the Demon Sea, but when passing through the Shenmu Continent, they will come to meet with senior Yan Dunhuang. I came to visit your great-grandfather because I want to know the whereabouts of Jiang Tianlong and the others. .”
"Ah?" Yan Ruyun said in surprise, "You're asking about this! I know about this. Are you a descendant of Jiang Tianlong?"
"No," Qingshi said, "However, by chance, I got some inheritance from senior Jiang Tianlong. I inquired about this matter because I was entrusted by another senior. Back then, this senior was supposed to be with Jiang Tianlong We walked together, but ended up falling one step behind and only reached the Chizhihai Sea. When I passed by the Chizhihai Sea this time, I was quite favored by his old man. Before he died, what he was thinking about was Jiang Tianlong and his party. He wanted to know about Jiang Tianlong What exactly happened to them after they arrived at the Shenmu Continent has caused no news from them since. Since the city lord knows about this, please let me know."
"I only know that Jiang Tianlong and the others came to see my great-grandfather," Yan Ruyun said. "As for why they wanted to meet, and what happened after they met, I don't know at all."
"Then..." Qingshi asked, "Where are the city lord's grandfather and father? They don't know, and they have never told you?"
Qingshi knew that Yan Ruyun's father and grandfather had died at the hands of monsters, so it was a bit rude to ask, but for this mystery, he had no choice but to ask.
"No," Yan Ruyun didn't care, "I remember my father once said that he also asked great-grandfather about this, but great-grandfather didn't tell him. So, let alone great-grandfather's physical condition does not allow him to see outsiders, even if it is true When he meets you, he probably won’t say anything.”
"This..." Qingshi was a little frustrated and seemed helpless.
"Young Master Qingshi," Yan Ruyun stood up and said, "I'm sorry." Obviously, he was about to see off guests.
"Wait a minute," Qingshi said, "Can the city lord recognize this thing?" As he said that, Qingshi took out the dagger that Father Bai gave him.
"Oh!" Yan Ruyun took the dagger and said, "It has the mark of my family on it. It belongs to my great-grandfather. How come it is in your hands?"
Qingshi quickly informed Yan Ruyun about meeting Father Bai.
Yan Ruyun played with the dagger and said slowly, "It turns out to be Baird! Yes, he was indeed one of the most trusted guards of my great-grandfather and grandpa. I heard grandpa talking about him. By the way, he Why did I give you the dagger?"
"Dad Bai said," Qingshi said, "He was once the bodyguard of your great-grandfather and your grandfather. He said that as long as I give this dagger to you, you will trust me."
"Young Hero Qingshi has made such a great contribution to Baiyun City," Yan Ruyun said with a smile, "Why should I not trust you? Father Bai's move was unnecessary, but he never expected that Young Hero would make such a great contribution to Baiyun City." Such a great contribution. You mean, he asked you to come to Baiyun City?"
"Yes!" Qingshi said, "We didn't originally plan to come to Baiyun City. It was Father Bai who strongly encouraged us to come. In fact, if he hadn't told us about the relationship between the city lord and senior Yan Dunhuang, we wouldn't have come to Baiyun City at all."
"Well!" Yan Ruyun nodded thoughtfully and said, "In that case, let's do this. Young Master Qingshi, if you wait patiently for a while, my great-grandfather will summon me to meet him every thirty years. It has been twenty-five years since my last summons. Five years later, when my great-grandfather summoned me again, I took this dagger with me and told him about you. As for whether he saw you or not, I didn’t care. I guarantee it.”
"Summoned once every thirty years?" Qingshi asked doubtfully, "Could it be that my great-grandfather was seriously injured or poisoned, and could only survive in hibernation, waiting for a turn of events?"
"That's right!" Yan Ruyun said in surprise, "How did the young hero know?"
"It's a guess!" Qingshi said, "But it's not a wild guess, because I know that there is such a technique in Shenmu Continent, and I have seen it with my own eyes."
"Oh!" Yan Ruyun said, "Have you ever seen someone who uses hibernation to extend his life?"
"Yes," Qingshi smiled, "Not only have I seen it, but I also cured his internal injuries and poisonous injuries."
"What?" Yan Ruyun asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the young hero is also a great alchemist and has the ability to bring the dead back to life?"
"I dare not talk about coming back to life," Qingshi said. "The senior who I met in Zhizhahai who was kind to me was injured too badly. I was powerless and could only watch him pass away. However, as long as his lifeline is not broken, , I can treat poisons and injuries that cannot be cured by human power. In terms of the ability to save lives and heal the wounded, I have never met anyone better than me. If my great-grandfather is really dormant due to injuries, I am somewhat sure that he can. Treatment. As I just said, not long ago, I rescued and cured a senior who had been dormant for thousands of years."
"Is that true?" Yan Ruyun was surprised and happy.
"No lies!" Qingshi was full of confidence.
"What a shameless talk!" A voice full of ridicule and disdain sounded, "You are not talking about using the essence and blood of the spirit-loving rat rabbit to prepare a magical medicine to save people! Hahaha..."
With laughter, a person walked into the living room, it was Wu Changsha Qianli.
"Why are you here?" Yan Ruyun frowned and asked, "I was visiting guests, why did you come in without being informed?"
"I came here to report something urgent to the City Lord," Sha Qianli said, "so I came in directly. As soon as I came in, I heard Qingshi telling lies and lying to you. Don't you know, City Lord? This guy said he was addicted to the essence and blood of rat and rabbit. It’s a holy medicine for healing, and it deceived tens of thousands of people in the Gongli Army!”
"It is Young Hero Qingshi's great contribution to defrauding the Communists and benefiting the army," Yan Ruyun said, "Young Hero Qingshi is my great benefactor in Baiyun City. Please be respectful when speaking, Fifth Elder."
Qingshi remained calm, but in his heart he was thinking about why this Sha Qianli appeared suddenly, and why he targeted himself and spoke rudely for no reason. Qingshi is wise and tactful, and he understood it the next moment.
Come to think of it, Sha Qianli regarded Yan Ruyun as his forbidden love. He must have bribed Yan Ruyun's concierge Lao Wang and was always on guard against Chen Tianye and the people around Chen Tianye, so Qingshi came several times. Everyone was turned away, but he was able to enter without notice.
"Of course it's okay to deceive the Communists and Lijun," Sha Qianli said, "It's another matter to deceive the city lord."
"I believe Young Hero Qingshi won't lie to me!" Yan Ruyun said, "What's your urgent matter?"
"Oh!" Sha Qianli said, "It's about the budget of the Shenmai Valley Defense Formation. I'm here to communicate with the city lord."
"That's it?" Yan Ruyun frowned even more tightly, "Lai Gu is responsible for this matter, why are you joining in the fun?"
Baiyun City received a large amount of spiritual stones donated by Qing Duan and Chen, and had the ability to protect the entire Shenmai Valley with formations, so they came up with the Shenmai Valley Defense Formation Plan.
"Such a big project," Sha Qianli said, "I naturally have to be concerned about it. Although our Baiyun City has gained so many spiritual stones at once, we can't be too extravagant and wasteful."
"Elder Sha is not concerned about the Shenmai Valley defense project," Qingshi said with a slight smile, "I think you are concerned about the city lord's palace's defense against me and Amano. I guess Elder Sha is sad that the Shenmai Valley project costs too much. But if you spend money on Lao Wang, you will definitely not feel heartache."
As soon as Qingshi said this, Yan Ruyun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
