Agarwood sat lazily on the door master's throne, teasing the cat in her arms while no one else was present in the hall. Read the book
Everyone was looking at her, with disbelief written all over their faces.
Feng Yao cleared his throat and said loudly: "Master, let's get started."
The agarwood branch said without raising its head, "Let's get started."
Each hall leader began to report on the affairs under his jurisdiction in the previous month. After everyone finished speaking, they all looked at the agarwood branch. But there was no reaction from the agarwood branch, and he was having more fun playing with the cat.
Feng Yao whispered: "Master?"
Chen Xiangzhi came back to her senses, looked at everyone in the hall, and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just tell Master Feng and Qing Chen. You two can make the decision."
After saying that, she actually hugged the cat and went out.
Everyone looked at each other, and in desperation, Feng Yao had no choice but to preside over the meeting.
"Everyone, is there anything else you want to say?"
Someone said: "Master Feng, the sect leader has just become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and now he has many things to deal with."
Feng Yao thought for a while: "Tell me, one by one."
This world still cares about Chen Xiangzhi, the leader of the martial arts alliance. She has just been in the position for more than a month, and various sects have issues that need her to handle. Whether these things are serious or not, it is nothing more than who has violated whose interests, and it will be over after adjustment. But too trivial.
Agarwood is only one person, and she cannot go anywhere to help others. She can only let someone with authority in the family go in her place.
After this round of processing, there were not many people left in the middle level of the door.
"One last thing." The hall master who just spoke took out a pamphlet from his sleeve. "When I just finished the martial arts conference in Shaolin, I heard that the master met several Miao people."
Feng Yao nodded: "It is true."
"They are here again, and they want the sect master to help bring justice and kill Scarface, that is, Mu Zi. How should we deal with this matter?"
Feng Yao looked at Xu Qingchen and asked, "Qingchen, what is the relationship between this Mu Zi and Changfeng Tower?"
Xu Qingchen replied: "What Miss Li means is that if Mu Zi doesn't take the initiative to find her, they will not easily admit their relationship with her."
Feng Yao lowered his head again and pondered, then raised his head and said, "Send someone to the Bai family and ask them to help find Mu Zi's whereabouts. Where are those Miao people now?"
"In the town at the foot of the mountain."
"Protect their safety. It's best not to let them get into trouble in the Central Plains."
Feng Yao's idea was very simple, leaving the problem to the Bai family and Changfeng Tower. Mu Zi's identity is embarrassing, and no one dares to protect her. Whether she can survive in the future depends entirely on this girl's fate.
After the conference ended, Xu Qingchen did not leave. He grabbed Feng Yao who was about to walk out of the hall.
"Master Feng, I have something to tell you."
Feng Yao said softly: "Come to my room and talk."
Xu Qingchen followed Feng Yao to his residence. After entering the house, Xu Qingchen couldn't wait to ask: "Master, the master of the house..."
Feng Yao sighed: "It's not easy for the little girl. She finally got her revenge. Let her go."
Xu Qingchen was a little embarrassed: "But... it's not an option to keep doing this. The sect leader doesn't care about the affairs of the sect at all. The general has been sent out, I'm afraid..."
Feng Yao smiled slightly: "Just pass it on. Anyway, her goal has been achieved. She definitely doesn't care about the false title of leader."
Xu Qingchen was a little anxious: "But the old sect master and Brother Yang managed to support the Thorn Sect with great difficulty. If this continues, the Thorn Sect will fall apart sooner or later!"
Feng Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "I should have thought that you have such an innocent heart. Qingchen, how long do you think the sect master can last?"
Xu Qingchen wondered: "How long will it last?"
"The magic medicine of Yaoxian Valley stimulates the internal energy to burst out, so she became a master in the sky at a young age. The price of this medicine is quite high. Now she can't stop taking it, so she can only keep taking it, and the more she takes... her... The lifespan will be shorter. The sect owner probably doesn’t have more than a few months to live.”
Xu Qingchen couldn't believe it: "I only know that her cultivation is borrowed."
"Qingchen," Feng Yao said with a solemn expression, "How about you be the master of this sect?"
"What?" Xu Qingchen didn't believe his ears even more, "I'll do it?"
"Yes, you have a talent in this area. Although it doesn't sound good to you, after the sect leader leaves, someone will have to take charge of the overall situation."
"I have no foundation in this world. I'm afraid no one will accept me, right?"
"No one was convinced by the sect master at the beginning, and no one was convinced by the old sect master back then. It all depends on people. If you don't do it, how will you know? To be honest, my body and bones are not good anymore. I will have to go back to my hometown in a few days. Rest. Take advantage of this time to solidify your foundation."
When Xu Qingchen came out of Feng Yao's room, he felt complicated. He always felt that something more troublesome was waiting for him.
…
Li Fenglan took Amber all the way north. The two of them walked very fast, without much rest along the way.
The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes. After passing the Taihang Mountains, the two pretty girls are almost like natives.
The two rested for a night in a small town, and walked for half a day the next day, finally arriving at a village in a small mountain col.
Li Fenglan rode in front. She said softly: "This village is called Pingding Village. There are not many families left."
Amber asked: "Sister Lan, where are we going? We've been walking for six days."
"Amber," Li Fenglan turned around and asked with a smile, "when we came out of the valley, do you still remember what your mother said to you?"
Amber thought for a long time: "I remember... my mother told me that she wanted me to find my biological parents."
Speaking of this, Amber suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Li Fenglan motionless.
Li Fenglan jumped off the horse and pulled Amber off the horse. The roads in the village are narrow and rugged and not suitable for leading horses. The two tied their horses to the hitching posts at the entrance of the village and entered the village.
Li Fenglan led Hu Huo all the way, and she kept looking at the whole village. As if she saw something, Li Fenglan suddenly became excited: "I found it!"
After saying that, he walked a few steps and arrived at the foot of a tall locust tree.
"This is the south side of the big locust tree," she pointed to a dilapidated courtyard and said to Hu Hu, "Hu Hu, this is your home."
Amber couldn't control her tears immediately. She covered her mouth and squatted down, crying silently.
Coincidentally, an old man with a stooped figure passed by here. Looking at the two beautiful girls who obviously did not come from the village, the old man asked: "You two girls, are you looking for someone in our Pingding Village?"
Li Fenglan pointed to the dilapidated courtyard and asked, "Old man, where is this family?"
"Hey..." the old man shook his head and sighed, "all of them died more than ten years ago. At that time, there was a famine here. This family had four children, and two of them starved to death at once. By coincidence, the fifth child was born. In order to save the lives of the whole family, , the couple took their newborn child to the foot of the mountain and sold the child. But despite this, they still did not survive that year and they all starved to death."
Li Fenglan pursed her lips: "Old man, what is this family's last name?"
"Everyone in our village has the surname Lu."
"Where are their families buried?"
The old man pointed to a small hill: "Behind the hill, there are mass graves, where people were buried in those days."
"Thank you, old man."
After the old man left, Li Fenglan squatted next to Hu Bo and whispered comfort: "Hu Bo, don't be sad."
Amber hugged Li Fenglan suddenly and said with choked sobs: "Sister Lan, thank you."
Li Fenglan patted Hu Hu's back gently: "The Bai family helped me find out the year before last. I have been hesitant to tell you. After thinking about it, I still have to let you know. In the Great Famine Years, it is not easy to survive. , don’t blame them.”
"I don't blame them," Amber cried harder, "I just, just..."
Li Fenglan said softly: "Okay, don't cry. Go and take a look at home."
In fact, there is nothing to see, the houses have all collapsed, and nothing is left. Amber Station
In the dilapidated yard, I imagined the house I would live in if there had not been that famine.
Afterwards, the two sisters bought some paper money and went to the mass grave behind the hill.
They left the village before it got dark. We couldn't stay overnight in this village, so we had to get back to the small town before dark.
Amber didn't sleep that night, holding Li Fenglan in her arms and shedding tears all night long.
For Li Fenglan's "birthday gift", amber was very useful. The little girl has never liked to think too much since she was a child, and she didn't think too much when she learned about her life experience. But now that she has really found the place where she was born, the girl's fragility is fully revealed.
When she woke up the next day, Amber's eyes were swollen into walnuts.
But Amber has a simple personality and forgets sad things quickly. Within a day, she returned to her former full of energy.
…
The two sisters were gone for more than half a month.
Since Bai Shuyu told everyone the purpose of the two people's trip, and because of Amber's current combat effectiveness, everyone was not too worried.
After returning to Huazhou, Chen Yan asked Amber to stay in an exquisite house in the corner of the town, and did not let her go out again.
The Zhu family is a wealthy family. Mr. Zhu has broken too many rules this year for Amber, and now he has to take care of others' mood. Logically speaking, Amber is still a girl who has not yet left the court. It is not good for her to be in public every day. She has to look like a lady to everyone.
Although Amber was extremely reluctant, she couldn't stand Chen Yan's majesty, so she had to stay in the house obediently.
"There's no need to follow such rules," Zhu Mingyu complained, "A few years ago, and some time ago, Amber followed my mother shopping every day, and most of the town knew her. There's no need to follow this rule, right?"
To Amber, he feels like three autumns have passed since he last saw her. After following Li Fenglan out for more than half a month, he was imprisoned by Chen Yan without even seeing him when he came back. Zhu Mingyu was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears.
Li Fenglan leaned on the stone table in the small pavilion, eating melon seeds and said, "Why are you so anxious? Once we get married, won't we be together every day?"
"That's true...but I'm not someone who wouldn't even think about not seeing you for half a year."
Han Lu smiled coldly and showed her arms intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't want to think about it, it's not just a joke."
Li Fenglan pulled down his sleeves, rolled her eyes, and said, "Okay, don't talk about this. We're getting married in less than half a month, do you still have time to tease us?"
Zhu Mingyu slapped his head: "Yes, I still have something to do... What about Jade, Li Fenglan, when you go back later, take back the set of Phoenix Crown Xiamei and let Amber try it on."
He said and trotted out of the yard.
Bai Shuyu looked at Li Fenglan with his arms folded, and asked with a smile: "What are your plans when Amber gets married?"
Li Fenglan thought for a moment: "Go back to the valley. Zhao Shunlai wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that he had dismantled all the hidden weapons in the valley. But he was not sure, fearing that someone would come up. I think, in the past six months, I’ll stay in the valley and won’t go anywhere.”
Bai Shuyu scratched his chin and asked tentatively: "Look, you are relatively safe in Chaolan Valley. But our Bai family is in Luoyang and there is nowhere to hide, don't you think?"
Li Fenglan asked, "What do you mean? Please explain it clearly."
"I want to... borrow... Jade to stay at my house. If someone comes knocking on my door, I will have a helper."
Jade rolled her eyes even whiter than Li Fenglan's, and Li Fenglan sneered: "Then why are you telling me? Isn't Jade here? Oh~ I understand, you don't dare to ask yourself while my mother is here, You just want to take advantage of me, right? Don't even think about it, I won't scold you. Last year, I just asked Amber to come to Zhu's house first, and you don't even know how my father taught me a lesson."
