The children were attracted by Shi Hu, while the adults looked at Su Qing blankly.
"What is this man's background?"
"Isn't he a coachman?"
"It's the coachman, he seems to be able to do magic tricks."
"Nonsense, what kind of magic can turn stones into life?"
"A very powerful trick!"
"oh……"
Xiao Shihu suddenly came to life, and it was obviously related to this person. But this kind of thing is so mysterious that it is difficult for people to react for a while.
After landing on Qianzhou, Su Qing left many marks. But to most people, his existence remains a secret.
The seven masters will remember the traces left behind, but they will still forget the appearance of the immortal. They can only remember it when they see each other again.
Destined people who have had some interactions will remember the fate, and they will also not remember the mysterious coachman. As for ordinary people who have no connection, they will even forget whether they have seen it or not.
Even if he enters the world, he is still an immortal. How could an ordinary mortal remember it?
The person who brought Shi Hu back to life is a mystery in everyone's eyes. Some people even suspected that magic tricks were used.
Just as they were making their own guesses, there was chaos in the walled city. A large group of gray-haired old people rushed out in a mighty manner.
"Master Hou! Is it really you?"
"Brother! You're not dead!"
"Uuuuuu, Uncle Hou, I am Xiao Liuzi..."
The old people saw Hou Zhen from a distance, and after being stunned for a short time, they all started to cry and howl.
"Brothers are all still here..."
Hou Zhen was very moved.
Imagine that those guys who were training in Qingzhou were either withered or changed after returning home. Only his Thirteenth Dock can have so many familiar old brothers.
Among all the sects in Di Sheng Qianzhou, Shisanwu pays the most attention to family ties. When you are senior, you will be respected, and you will not be inferior to others just because you are weak.
I just regret that those leaders are not here, especially that guy from Qingyi Building. We really should let them take a closer look at what it means to be deeply affectionate.
Hou Zhen opened his arms to welcome the crowd, and then was overwhelmed by the crowd.
"Let me go, you're squeezing my beard..."
When Hou Zhen finally got out again, he met the person he least wanted to see.
"Liu Jian!" Looking at the young face in front of him, Hou Zhen's happy expression disappeared instantly, and his expression turned from sunny to cloudy, still like thunder.
"Give you a chance, get out of Shisanwu immediately."
"We haven't seen each other for many years, but you still have such a bad temper." Liu Jian was very respectful. "Father-in-law."
…
Thirteen docks.
Lanterns are decorated inside and outside the house, and colorful silks are floating and lanterns are hung high. The banquet was placed from the courtyard to the street, and chips were exchanged, cups and cups were exchanged. Thirteen cities are celebrating, welcoming the return of the old master.
There was laughter, drinking, and ordering everywhere, but the atmosphere at the main table was a bit strange.
The people present here are all the senior citizens of Thirteen Wu, and there are a few old men who rarely go out. No one moved their chopsticks and looked at Hou Zhen and Liu Jian with trepidation.
These two people are Weng's son-in-law, and they are also enemies. They are deeply entangled.
Judging from Hou Zhen's dark face, he knew that he had even ignored Su Qing's existence. Both eyes were staring at Liu Jian, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Father-in-law, let me toast you. Congratulations on your return to your homeland after all your hardships." Liu Jian raised his glass.
"I don't dare to drink it." Hou Zhen snorted coldly. "I'm afraid you might poison the wine."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Jian said, "Ever since I attacked you once, I have never wanted to harm you again."
"Nonsense." Hou Zhen glared, "I will exile you later."
"It wasn't your exile, it was me who asked for it." Liu Jian fell into memories, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to go to Qingzhou to practice, you would have killed me secretly."
"Well, it's a pity." Hou Zhen also said with emotion. "It was all planned, but you are too cunning."
The elders who were sitting with him were on pins and needles, neither listening nor refusing to listen.
Everyone who is a little older in Shisanwu basically knows about the affairs between the father-in-law and the son-in-law.
Hou Zhen had a daughter who was very doted on. After reaching the age of leaving the court, I thought about finding a good family.
All surnames and houses in Shisanwu are harmonious, and there is no sense of family status. I originally thought that as long as my daughter liked it, it would be the same no matter who she married.
Unexpectedly, he fell in love with Liu Jian.
It cannot be said that Liu Jian is not good enough, and he is also somewhat famous in Shisanwu. But he was more than ten years older, and his wife had died.
Hou Zhen naturally refused to say anything, and Liu Jian was more affectionate than Jin Jian. While Hou Zhen wasn't paying attention, he actually eloped with his daughter.
From this point on, the grievances and resentments begin.
I've fought with knives, administered poison, and sworn poison, and pretended to be dead. There are a lot of bloody things, and they have been going on for many years anyway. Especially after Hou Zhen's daughter accidentally died in a feud between Jianghu and Jianghu, the conflict between the two parties became even more irreconcilable. It wasn't until Liu Jian was exiled to Qingzhou that he finally calmed down.
"To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to take revenge when I came back." Liu Jian put down his wine glass and seemed to be feeling something.
"Not only do I want to take revenge on you, I also want to take revenge on the entire Thirteen Woods. Since Ren Shukui is a madman, I will take Thirteen Woods to go crazy with him. Because I know that this is the place you cherish the most. Ruining this place is better than killing you. It all makes you uncomfortable.”
"But you didn't do that." Hou Zhen said, "Because you also grew up here."
"I can't be cruel..." Liu Jian laughed twice. "People in Thirteenth Ward are too attached to their families, especially as they get older. No matter how big the issue is, it cannot be done at home. If it were twenty or thirty years ago, we would have had to go under the knife when we met."
"Just for this? Aren't you afraid..."
Hou Zhen subconsciously looked outside.
Just being angry with my unlucky son-in-law here, I realized that I seemed to have overlooked an important person.
Su Qing did not sit down at the table and was walking outside, seemingly admiring the scenery. Occasionally, people from Thirteenth Ward would take the initiative to salute and greet Su Qing.
"Don't worry, I've said hello to you." Liu Jian said very calmly, "This person cannot be speculated by ordinary people. It is not easy to contact him without revealing anything. As long as you take basic etiquette into consideration, you will not neglect him."
Hou Zhen was a little surprised: "I didn't realize that your kid had a brain before."
"Because now I have nothing to care about, so I can see more clearly." Liu Jian said, "Of course, I am really afraid. If I really offend this person, Thirteen Piers will disappear in an instant. I I dare to start a war with the entire Qianzhou sect, but I don’t dare to offend this person in the slightest.”
"You are quite sensible." Hou Zhen snorted. "Since you think so clearly and have no intention of revenge, why are you still getting involved with that Ren Shukui?"
"Because before that person came, I really couldn't afford to offend him." Liu Jian said, "I'm not afraid of Ren Shukui, but there are other people behind him."
Hou Zhen frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
"Because the so-called spiritual fruit he gave me." Liu Jian said, "He said it was a natural spiritual fruit, but I thought it was some kind of elixir. And according to my understanding, he is not good at it."
Hou Zhen said. "I met Guo Canyang, and he also said it was a spiritual fruit."
"Definitely not." Liu Jian shook his head. "Guo Canyang doesn't understand the art of elixirs, and he is sincere and easily deceived."
Hou Zhen was a little weird. "Is Guo Canyang sincere?"
"Yes." Liu Jian said: "Although he is a little timid, he is sincere and loyal. I admire him very much. The relationship between Thirteenth Wood and Qingyi House has also improved a lot over the years."
"Loyalty..." Hou Zhen's expression became more and more strange.
"Don't you still remember the old grudges?" Liu Jian sighed, "It's been so many years, it's time to let it go. Over there at Qingyi Building..."
"Yeah, let's forget about the past, let's not mention it anymore." Hou Zhen said with emotion. "I finally know why Feng'er liked you back then. That child likes simplicity."
"??" Liu Jian was a little confused.
These words seemed to improve his senses, but why did they sound so awkward?
Hou Zhen picked up the wine glass: "Forget about all the grudges and grudges in the past."
Liu Jian glanced at it, took another cup from the side, poured wine in and raised it.
Hou Zhen stared. "What do you mean? I'm toasting and you change the cup?"
"You have touched this glass of wine before." Liu Jian said, "I am now in the second level of Yuanshen. Arsenic and other things cannot kill people, but a bad stomach is inevitable."
"The heart of a villain! Are I that kind of person?" Hou Zhen cursed and quietly hid a small medicine packet back in his sleeve.
Weng and son-in-law were wary of each other and drank the wine carefully.
…
Weng and his son-in-law drink together, and the virtue of wine is rewarded. Weng asked for a drink, and the son-in-law said three words. The old man calmly attracted his attention, and the son-in-law had no choice but to entertain him. The old man and his son-in-law got along well with each other, and they passed on pleasant conversations at the drunken servants' table.
