As Ji Beichen left Mu Qing's wing, his mind kept flashing back to Qiu Qianren, the deputy leader of the Changyang Gang whom he met with Yan Yueli that day in Wuyou Town, and the man in black who was familiar with his martial arts...
It is very possible that the two men in black that Mu Qing saw were the leader of the Changyang Gang, He Zhixing, and the other was the mysterious man in black!
Who is that person? Why do they appear frequently in Cangzhou? Is this person related to senior brother Lu Aotian? Does the Cangxu Sect still have a detailed work on the Huan Mie Sect? These questions could not be verified for a while, and they kept bothering him, making him puzzled. I am afraid that this matter is not something that he alone can find out...
After more than half a month, Baishi saw that Mu Qing was fine, so he planned to leave for Lihun Valley. Before returning to the valley, Bai Shi told Zhao Ling'er about Mu Qing's medication: "Ling'er, have you written down all of this?"
"Grandpa Shi, don't worry, none of this will trouble Ling'er! It's just that it's rare for grandpa to go back to the valley, but it's a pity that I can't follow..." Zhao Ling'er stood beside Bai Shi obediently, pouting unhappily.
Zhao Ling'er had long heard that Lihun Valley was full of spiritual energy, and that there were countless heavenly materials, earthly treasures, celestial herbs and elixirs. It's just that Grandpa Shi has been traveling all the time. This time he finally returned to the valley, but she couldn't go back with him because he needed to take care of Mu Qing, which made her a little sad.
Bai Shi quickly comforted Zhao Ling'er: "Grandpa knows that Ling'er has been longing for Lihun Valley for a long time. This time, grandpa has some important matters to discuss when he goes back. He will return in a few days. Next time he returns to the valley, he will definitely take you for a walk and get to know your senior brothers and sisters. ,OK?"
"Pull the hook!" Zhao Ling'er stretched out her finger playfully and agreed with Grandpa Shi to go back to Lihun Valley together next time.
Ji Beichen knew that Bai Shi was going back to Lihun Valley, so he came to see him off. He knew that Yan Yuezong and the Ghost Doctor Tomb had always been in close contact, and a girl in red suddenly flashed in his mind. He wondered how that person was doing recently.
After all, he was the person who saved his life. It was normal for people to say "hello" when he left suddenly. However, Ji Beichen was awkward for a long time and didn't know how to speak.
Baishi comforted Zhao Ling'er and was about to set off. Seeing Ji Beichen standing aside, looking like he was hesitant to speak, he shook his head and said, "Chen'er, do you have something to say?"
Thinking that Ji Beichen, who possessed the skills of Yan Yue Sect, must have a special relationship with the delicate and savage Yan Yueli, Bai Shi was a little curious about what he would say.
"I...Senior Baishi, be careful on the road." Ji Beichen was suddenly called out, and his ears turned red from holding back, but he still couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"Haha, I'm afraid it's not me, an old man, that Chen'er wants to care about!" Bai Shi saw Ji Beichen's shyness for the first time, and he aroused his curiosity.
Ji Beichen was told something that was on his mind. He lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "How could..."
"Chen'er, don't worry. If Yan Yatou is still in the Tomb of the Ghost Doctor, I will definitely bring you what you are thinking!" Bai Shi carried the medicine box on his back and patted Ji Beichen's back. With a smile on his lips, he touched his white beard and got ready. leave.
How could Bai Shi not know what Ji Beichen was thinking? Back then, Ji Beichen's father, Ji Yijun, was so coy about his sweetheart Mu Ci. If Zhao Ji hadn't been the matchmaker, Ji Beichen wouldn't have been born!
"Senior, I misunderstood. Miss Yan and I are just..." Ji Beichen wanted to explain that the two of them were friends, but felt that it was inappropriate to say friends, but he couldn't say that Yan Yueli was his master!
Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was too ridiculous. How could he say it in person? His mind was so confused that he didn't know how to explain it.
Bai Shi looked at Ji Beichen standing there in a daze, thinking hard. The smile on his lips grew thicker, and he laughed meaningfully. He couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Haha! This silly boy has a long way to go if he wants to marry Yan Yatou!
The rest is easy to say, except that his father-in-law, Old Man Yan, is known to dote on his only daughter, and Ji Beichen is also the son of Ji Yijun. This matter needs long-term consideration...
When Bai Shi thought about how funny it would be for two old guys, Ji Yijun and Yan Wugui, to form a family, they would go crazy!
——
Ji Beichen has been living in the wing opposite Mu Qing in the City Lord's Mansion since he extracted the poison from Mu Qing. After seeing Bai Shi off today, he thought it was time to pack up and prepare to return to Xuanji Pharmacy. He has not been out of the Gua stall for a long time. .
"Benefactor! Why are you going back in such a hurry?" Xue San was extremely anxious when he saw Ji Beichen packing his things and leaving after seeing Bai Shi back. This morning, his master also issued a death order to himself. No matter how he seeks help, he must keep Ji Beichen!
"I've been harassing him for many days. Don't worry, I'll come and see him every day when I close the stall!" How could Ji Beichen have the nerve to continue living there without getting any reward? He couldn't live and eat for free all day long, he still had to work at the stall to earn money.
"But... Young Master, why did you come out!" Xue San was thinking about how to persuade Ji Beichen, but Mu Qing had already entered the room without knowing it.
Mu Qing has recovered well in recent days and is able to go to the ground with support. In the morning, he heard Xue San talking about Ji Beichen's plan to go back to the medicine shop after Bai Shi left. He was very anxious. He told Xue San to keep Ji Beichen.
Just now he saw Ji Beichen returning from delivering Bai Shi, and thinking that Ji Beichen must be packing his things, he was afraid that Xue San could not convince Ji Beichen, so he let Xue's mother help him out.
"Ah Chen, can you not leave?" Mu Qing's face was full of sincerity. She was supported by Xue San and Ji Beichen and sat on the chair. She looked up at Ji Beichen expectantly.
Mu Qing knew that Ji Beichen lived in the wing opposite. It was originally Ji Beichen's childhood residence in the Mu Mansion, and now it can be regarded as returning to its original owner. Seeing Ji Beichen packing his luggage at this time, the memories of that day came back to him. He was so afraid of losing his Ah Chen again.
"Did Xue San not take good care of him?" Mu Qing became even more anxious when she saw Ji Beichen was silent.
There were only a few servants in the city lord's mansion. They had all fled to death, and there were even fewer who were willing to sincerely stay. He was afraid of neglecting Ji Beichen.
"I don't need anyone to wait on me, I just..." Ji Beichen was already embarrassed, but seeing Mu Qing being so polite, he waved his hand repeatedly.
"Since you don't mind it, just live here in peace. Living in the backyard of the medicine shop for a long time is not an option. Just treat the City Lord's Mansion as your home, okay?" Mu Qing stared at Ji Beichen intently, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
For the past half month, Ji Beichen has taken good care of Mu Qing every day. Mu Qing also loves him as a younger brother and likes to call him "Achen." Ji Beichen knew that Mu Qing's nephew was called "Achen" and that he also had the word "Chen" in his own name. He just felt that he was destined, so he did not refuse.
Today, Ji Beichen originally planned to go back to Xuanji Pharmacy. Seeing Mu Qing's reluctance, he decided to stay: "Okay, I won't leave. But this wing should be the residence of people close to Brother Mu, so I'd better change It’s better to live in one room.”
Mu Qing felt relieved when she heard that Ji Beichen was willing to stay. When she heard that he wanted to change rooms, she said anxiously: "This is you..."
Mu Qing was so excited that she almost said what she was saying, and quickly turned back to her topic: "This room is where my sister's children live. If my eight-year-old nephew Ah Chen were alive, he should be as old as you..."
He paused, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, and continued with a little choking: "Now that I think about those days, it was very interesting and warm, because the uncle and aunt only had one child, the elder sister, so the younger brother in the elder sister's mother's family was only bigger than the elder sister. Chen is two years older, and he often bullies Chen because of his seniority..."
Ji Beichen smiled and couldn't help but pick up what he said: "Brother Mu is talking about Zhao Bai'er, right?"
When he remembered the day when he first entered the city lord's palace, Zhao Bai'er laughed at the children's calligraphy in the room, he couldn't help but shook his head.
Mu Qing didn't expect Ji Beichen to pay attention to this matter, and immediately became extremely excited, nodded and replied: "That's him!"
Ji Beichen saw that he was full of energy when he talked about Ah Chen, and he was a little more curious about Mu Qing, his nephew, and then said: "I wonder if there are any other interesting things, please tell me?"
Mu Qing really wanted it, so she asked Xue San to bring tea and snacks. The two sat at the same table and started talking.
"There is a ten-year age difference between me and my nephew Ah Chen. Bai'er is two years younger than Ah Chen, but Ah Chen is a generation younger than us, so Bai'er always likes to bully Ah Chen. Every time Ah Chen is bullied , always likes to go to the city lord's mansion to complain to me, and sometimes he has to stay for a few days, so the uncle moved Ah Chen's room to the opposite side of me..."
Mu Qing told Ji Beichen about their childhood, and she just felt that at that time everyone was carefree and innocent, how beautiful it was.
The two of them were chatting about the past in the side room, and the sound of brisk footsteps interrupted their words...
"Brother Mu is really partial. He always helps Ah Chen. Today I came to ask for a sword from him. You can't trap people in the house!" The person who came was the target of their ridicule - Zhao Bai'er!
Today, Zhao Bai'er is here to be a lobbyist. His father, Zhao Xiang, has given him an important task. He must find a way to get Ji Beichen to agree to go to Wuyou Town with him!
After Mu Qing recovered, Zhao Xiang came to see him, and the two discussed the matter of getting to know Ji Beichen. After weighing the pros and cons, they finally decided not to recognize Ji Beichen for the time being.
After all, the person behind the case from twelve years ago has not been found out yet. Recognizing Ji Beichen rashly at this time may bring disaster to him.
Mu Qing talked to Zhao Xiang about the fact that he sent someone to deliver a secret letter to the Holy Emperor. For some reason, there was no reply for half a month.
Zhao Xiang didn't understand what the Holy One meant, and there was no other way to wait. He planned to write a letter to his daughter Zhao Xian'er and ask tactfully for the reason. As a queen, Zhao Xianer is always by the Holy Lord's side and can understand the Holy Spirit better than them. News should come back soon.
Zhao Xiang mentioned that Ji Beichen's father, Ji Yijun, after years of inquiring, it is very likely that he is hiding in a secret place. When Mu Qing heard this, she remembered something.
He remembered that his sister Mu Ci once told him about Ji Yijun's life experience, which was very different from what Bai Shi said. As for the secret realm, Mu Ci only said that this secret realm can recognize people, and only people with the blood of the Ji family can enter. As for where the secret realm is, she has never heard her sister mention it.
"Could it be near their former residence?" Neither Zhao Xiang nor Mu Qing are cultivators, and the secret realm is really unfamiliar to them. However, Zhao Xiang heard Mu Qing say that Mu Ci had seen the secret realm before, so he guessed that the secret realm should be between two places. Near people's residence.
"This is also possible. It's best to let Ah Chen go to Wuyou Town. Maybe if he revisits his old place, he can remember something!" Mu Qing also thinks this method is good, but how to let Ji Beichen go there? ?
Letting Zhao Bai'er take Ji Beichen to Wuyou Town was Zhao Xiang's idea. Zhao Bai'er's sword was broken by Ji Beichen before, and Ji Beichen also promised to give Zhao Bai'er a spiritual sword in return. Wuyou Town is a holy place for monks to make swords. If Zhao Baier invites him to go, Ji Beichen will definitely agree to go with him!
