Entering Lao Liu's shop, Mu Qingyan sat down and said with a smile, "The folks in this town are hospitable and discerning. No wonder you miss your homeland so much."
Cai Zhao muttered: "Your men have surrounded Luoying Valley. How can we not be enthusiastic?"
Mu Qingyan raised his eyes and raised his voice: "What did you say?"
Cai Zhao smiled skillfully and said, "I say, the leader thinks so."
That's right, it was not only Mu Qingyan who came to Luoying Valley, but also the twelve demon sect members who had originally besieged Jiuli Mountain.
At that time, the Qingque Sect was in chaos, and the six sects of Beichen were severely damaged. They saw the most disparate situation between the enemy and ourselves in two hundred years, and the unification of the world was in sight. From the elder Yan Xu to the many helmsmen, everyone in the Demon Sect was eager to try.
Shangguan Haonan and You Guanyue were seriously injured, and they coaxed and frightened half of the people back to the Hanhai Mountains. The remaining half were led by Lian Shisan, who refused to leave the leader who was "encircled by the Luoying Valley" no matter what. , so they set up camp outside and surrounded the Luoying Valley.
Cai Zhao tactfully expressed to Lian Shisan that Luoying Valley was a small place and he had never seen such a big scene with dark clouds. Could you please go back first?
Lian Shisan said humorously that if the moon goes away, I will go as well. We will follow the leader to the end of the world. If we want the leader to move his throne, please ask Miss Zhaozhao to show mercy.
While waiting for the rice snake soup to arrive, Cai Zhao once again tested Master Mu Da when the Dragon King would return to his throne. The Qingzhu Gang outside the valley was so frightened that they did not even dare to fish for small fish and shrimps.
Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "When you dragged me to Luoying Valley in a hurry, you kept telling me to stay a little longer."
Miss Cai had a sad expression on her face and said, "This is the moment and the other is the moment."
Mu Qingyan thought for a while and lowered his eyes: "When I woke up in the ruins that day, I saw you crying and your face was red. I just thought that no matter how much we quarrel in the future, we will never separate. The current situation is either You follow me back to the Hanhai Mountains, or I come to Luoying Valley as your wife, and you can choose one."
Cai Zhao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility of such a grand and grand son-in-law as Master Mu."
Mu Qingyan nodded, "That's right. I'll arrange the arrangements later and try not to disturb the surroundings. However, if something happens in the teaching, people will inevitably come looking for me from time to time. Please bear with me."
Everyone was talking about this, and Cai Zhao was speechless, so he shouted angrily: "Why haven't you served the food yet? Snake Liuliu, is your stove burning?!"
Snake Lao Liu came up with a smile and explained, "Business has been very good recently. All the goods prepared yesterday have been used up. There is a killing coming from behind. Please wait a little longer, little lady."
Cai Zhao laughed: "Lao Liu has learned how to brag. There are a few people in our town who like to eat snake meat, and I am the only one who often comes to compliment you."
Snake Laoliu was unconvinced, "There aren't many people who like to eat in town, but there are many outside of town."
"Out of town?"
"They are the good guys who are camping outside the valley now."
Cai Zhao: "..."
Mu Qingyan was struggling to hold back laughter behind the table.
"Thanks to the leader, these days are worth half a year of my business. The cult is still prosperous."
"...Lao Liu, you used to call me a demon sect."
"Nonsense, how can a businessman open his mouth to hurt others? Opening his mouth and keeping his mouth closed will hurt people's hearts." Snake Lao Liu smiled like a flower, as if spring had come, "What's more, we are all our own people from now on, and the family will not say anything about each other." It’s a family talk.”
Mu Qingyan finally couldn't help it and started chuckling behind the table.
After a hearty meal at She Laoliu's place, Cai Zhao felt that he was half full of anger.
Carrying four jars of peach blossom wine, the two walked from the beginning of the town to the end of the town, and finally went around the back mountain of the valley, where the bones of past Luoyinggu family members are buried.
Different from the majestic, cold and scattered nature of Mu's Forbidden Tomb, this back mountain seems like a cotton mat soaked in sunshine, dry and soft, with the warm fragrance of vegetation.
There are all surnames on the tombstone, and even the daughter-in-law who married in also has a name, surname, year of birth and death, and identity. She is definitely not like a disgusting person from the Song family and the Yang family.
Cai Pingshu's tomb stands under a huge peach tree, far away from his parents and ancestors, in a lonely corner.
After pouring the peach blossom wine evenly in front of the tomb, Mu Qingyan stared at the simple gray-white stone tablet for a long time.
The woman buried underground has almost changed the fate of everyone in the Nie family and the Mu family. However, no matter how earth-shattering she was once, holding the wind and thunder in her hand, she is just a handful of loess now.
He had never really met Cai Pingshu, but he felt that he had known her for a long time.
After a simple worship, Cai Zhao took Mu Qingyan to find two stone pillars not far away and sat down.
"If you think about it carefully, although I respect my father, the person I admire most is your aunt." Mu Qingyan looked at the tombstone in a daze, "Although she is a female, she can really control her own life. Back then, No matter how ugly the faces of Yin Dai and other elders of the six sects were, no matter how many overt and covert attacks and serious words, she lived her life resolutely according to her own wishes."
"If she wants to make a career in the world, she can go in the world. If she wants to kill a traitor, she can kill a traitor. Even after being deceived by Mu Zhengyang, she can still act decisively. She kills the unfaithful person one after another, and then kills Nie Hengcheng. She does not hesitate at all and gives the world a chance. The harm left behind--it really puts men all over the world to shame."
Cai Zhao said softly: "What you have seen is the beauty of my aunt, but what I have seen since I was a child is that my aunt is in pain and living day by day. You don't want to be like my father, who endures and gives in all your life, and I don't want to be like my aunt." We sacrificed ourselves for others, but in the end, alas, what saved our lives was my aunt's shelter and the inner strength and mental skills created by my father."
At the last moment, Qi Yunke still couldn't betray Cai Pingshu's wishes during his lifetime.
"Yes." Mu Qingyan smiled in relief, the breeze blowing on his delicate forehead, making him look particularly young and relaxed.
"Actually, I originally wanted to bury Master's ashes here." Cai Zhaohu said,
Mu Qingyan said: "But they have already beaten Qi Yunke into the Sinner's Stele Forest in the back mountain of Qingque Sect."
Cai Zhaodao: "Don't you have someone under You Guanyue who is good at digging and robbing graves? Just borrow him and work with me to steal Master's remains."
Mu Qingyan turned his head and looked at the girl: "Even if Qi Yunke has committed so many sins, you still care about love, right?"
Cai Zhao looked lonely and said in a low voice: "I just pity the master. He has lived a very miserable life. People are dead, and his crimes will be engraved on the sin monument. Why not keep a handful of ashes."
Mu Qingyan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "That's fine. I think your aunt will also be happy to have your master as my companion."
Cai Zhaoqi asked: "How do you know?"
Mu Qingyan: "You said it yourself, there are only two people with foreign surnames living in Aunt Ling's house, Qi Yunke and I. Since she became completely disabled, your Aunt is no longer very willing to see outsiders. I think, regardless of whether there are There is no love between men and women, your master and Lady Cai are both very important people, far more important than Zhou Zhizhen and others."
"Ah." Cai Zhao slapped her leg hard - she had never thought about this before.
She sighed heavily, "In this world, the word love is the most indescribable. Oh, and senior brother, he has secretly liked Yin Sulian for decades, I can't believe it!"
Mu Qingyan became interested, "How did you guess that the hidden stakes I placed next to Qi Yunke belonged to Zeng Building?"
"After coming out of the blood swamp, didn't the third and fifth senior brothers and I returned here?" Cai Zhao said: "In order to find the purple jade golden sunflower, I searched through my aunt's belongings, but I didn't find any news about the purple jade golden sunflower. , and turned out a notebook written by my aunt when she was young, which contained trivial things and experiences in the world in her early years - there were a few sentences in it, which were written quite playfully."
"One time, my aunt gave the eldest brother a tank of lively upstream dace and let him try it. The eldest brother asked the restaurant master to cook the whole tank of dace, and then gave one piece to everyone present. , At that time, my aunt praised this little brother for his loyalty."
Mu Qingyan was puzzled: "What's wrong with this?"
Cai Zhaodao: "My aunt and master went out at that time. The only people in the inn were a group of poor children they had just rescued and Yin Sulian's master and servant."
Mu Qingyan said oh, with a look on his face - children are weak and poor, sharing delicious food is a blessing from heaven, but Yin Sulian has not eaten anything since she was a child, and it is not like she has never seen Zeng Mansion at that time Yin Dai's pomp.
Cai Zhao said again: "Another time, when they were trapped in a ruined temple, my aunt gave my senior brother a bottle of Snow Chandeliers. But when my aunt came back, I found out that my senior brother had given the entire bottle of Snow Chandeliers to the heroes who later hid in the temple. They were divided, and Yin Sulian was among them."
This time Mu Qingyan said directly: "Xuechan Pills are used to nourish the Dantian. Yin Sulian doesn't know martial arts at all, so it's useless to take them, right?"
Cai Zhao nodded and sighed, "In short, when I knew you convinced Aunt Zhixian, I guessed that the secret agent around the master was the senior brother."
Mu Qingyan: "It's so obvious, why didn't your aunt and Qi Yunke notice it?"
Cai Zhao sighed: "Master was very honest when he was young. My mother said that at that time, some people still called him Qi Dasha. My aunt was not much better, she was very carefree - when she was at Peiqiong Villa, Mrs. Min had been the same for several years. It took her several years to understand what he was doing, and her flirtatious glances at Uncle Zhou almost reached the sky."
Mu Qingyan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Cai Nuxia is both rough and subtle. She is so good at writing this in her note. I guess she was vaguely aware of something, but didn't take it seriously, so she just wrote it casually. Got a deal."
Cai Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's also possible."
The two chatted for a long time in front of Cai Pingshu's tomb.
They talked about the man in black they encountered in the Suchuan Valley. The formation looked familiar. Now that they think about it, it should be the ancestral formation of the Qingque Sect that Cai Pingshu modified. For fear of Yin Dai being overly concerned, she didn't even dare to announce it. Only Qi Yunke in the world knows.
There is also the resolute and decisive Yang Xiaolan. It is said that she has recovered from her injuries and plans to return to Siqimen to clean up the family.
Finally, there was Yin Sulian and her daughter. After Qi Lingbo woke up and learned everything, he cried loudly and suddenly became strong, so he took his half-mad mother and Dai Fengchi, who had lost an arm, back to Yin's hometown.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the mountains behind were cold and gloomy. The two got up and went back.
There were more and more people along the way, including old couples lazily sweeping fallen leaves under the trees, young men and women busy planting beside the adobe, ladies holding dustpans and picking fruits, and little maids and children wearing hairdos. Often... when they see Mu and Cai, they are very calm. They salute politely and then run away laughing. Some of them roll their eyes and pretend they didn't see them.
Cai Zhao saw that Mu Qingyan was frowning and his shoulders were slightly tensed and stiff, so he said, "My shoulders are hurting again. I have to ask you to be patient and ask you to get up so early... Turning a corner ahead is Xiao Han's house, which is empty now. , I’ll help you go in and have a rest.”
Cai Han's bed was much smaller. After Mu Qingyan lay down on it, Cai Zhao could only sit on the edge of the bed.
As she peeled the oranges, she murmured with emotion, "I really don't understand. No matter how beautiful Yin Sulian is, after more than ten years, senior brother should have seen clearly what kind of person she is. Master has come to his senses. Why did senior brother remain so silent until his death?" I like her."
Mu Qingyan looked distant and said calmly: "What's different is that Zeng Mansion really loves Yin Sulian. What he likes is Yin Sulian herself. But Qi Yunke may just be fascinated by the gorgeous prosperity in front of him. The favor of the first sect leader in the world, the first in the world. The favor of a beautiful woman. What he thought he wanted was not actually what he really wanted."
Cai Zhao lowered her head and slowly peeled off the orange petals. After peeling off the entire bumpy orange, she suddenly said: "In a few days, I will go back to the Hanhai Mountains with you."
Mu Qingyan was quite surprised, and then joy filled his heart like a spring. He grabbed the girl, "Really? You, don't you blame me for lying to you about Xuelan?"
Cai Zhao sneered: "I thought you would never ask again in your life."
Mu Qingyan hugged her happily, his eyes were full of spring, and when he looked sideways, it seemed like the charming green color of spring branches.
He said hurriedly: "I'm afraid that if I mention this matter, you will take the opportunity to make trouble with me, so I just won't say anything. You just said that you want to go back to the Hanhai Mountains with me. Is it true? Tell me quickly. Is it real!"
Cai Zhao sighed: "I thought about it when you were buried in the ruins. As long as you don't die, I won't blame you for anything. I, we don't want to be like Master, looking back a hundred years later."
Mu Qingyan was filled with joy, hugging the girl quietly and saying good things to her. He has always been eloquent, but at this moment he can only say repeatedly, "...let's set off next month."
Cai Zhaoqi said: "Why is it next month? I thought you wanted to leave tomorrow."
Mu Qingyan said: "Isn't your grandmother Mrs. Ning coming here with Xiao Han? I'm counting the days and they will arrive at the beginning of next month. I want to recognize your family before leaving."
When Cai Zhao saw him looking serious about theory, he burst out laughing. He threw him on the bed, pressed his chest, and kissed his snow-white neck with blue meridians and clear Adam's apple...
The door was opened hastily, Cai Zhao was pushed out of the door stumblingly, and then the door closed tightly with a loud bang.
Cai Zhao still wanted to say a few words, but the tip of his nose was almost hit by the door that was slammed shut.
Before the door closed, a shy and angry man's voice came from inside - "Don't touch me again until we get married!"
These ten words were spoken very clearly. The uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts outside and a group of maids all heard it. For a moment, they all tsked and looked accusingly at Cai Zhao.
"Tsk, tsk, you don't even have a banquet and just want to take advantage of others, it's really too much!"
"It's not me who said it. People came to the house with her. She was still vague and didn't make it clear. She made it clear that she didn't want to give her status."
"Ouch, how could this happen? Isn't that like the scumbag in the play who starts off in chaos and ends up giving up?"
"That won't work. I have to talk to the three aunts and six ladies next door and ask everyone to comment on it!"
"Yep……"
Cai Zhao looked at the sky and then at the ground - it was really a beautiful day in Luoying Valley.
Chapter 141
More than a month later, under Mrs. Ning's panicked gaze, Master Mu happily served tea, received red envelopes, and affectionately called grandma several times. Finally, he happily told the Cai family before Mrs. Ning fainted. They said goodbye, which was in sharp contrast to the dejected look on the third son of Song Dynasty who came to pick up his biological father.
On one side, the family is in misfortune because of fratricide. Later, when the family was reorganized and they regained the position of the head of the family, it was not known how many people named Song were going to die. On the other side, people were full of joy when good things happened - I asked you how much sorrow you can have. When the strong man is gone, it is the worst. Better never come back.
