Lang Yuwen called Hecheng Wutongju almost every day to ask about Li Muchen's situation.
But no one dared to disturb Li Muchen.
Everyone knows that at times like this, nothing can happen to Li Muchen. As long as he was still there, those people would be alienated at most and would not dare to openly become enemies.
If something happens to Li Muchen, everyone around him will suffer.
As Li Muchen's retreat protector and now the hostess of the Li family, Lin Manqing was more anxious than anyone else.
But since Li Muchen didn't leave seclusion, she didn't dare to wake him up easily.
This retreat is different from the past, and its importance even exceeds the tribulation.
On the surface, Li Muchen was sitting in the room, as calm as an old monk in meditation, but Lin Manqing could vaguely feel that the danger inside was even more dangerous than the previous thunder disasters.
She was unable to help, so she could only guard him carefully to prevent any disturbance from the outside world from affecting him.
When the news about Haojiang came, Lin Manqing immediately called Sister Mei and asked her to help look after Dingxiang.
She knew the relationship between Ding Xiang and Ma Shan. With Li Muchen in seclusion, Ding Xiang might do something stupid and go to save Ma Shan alone.
But where in Shushan can she go?
It’s not like Lin Manqing didn’t work hard. She first contacted Lu Jingshan on Kowloon Island, hoping that he could contact his brothers in Tiandu. Whether it was Xiang Wanqing or Du Qinghui, as long as they were willing to come forward and say hello to the Shushan Sect, they would definitely be able to save Ma Shan.
The problem is that Lu Jingshan, as an abandoned disciple, cannot return to Tiandu. He was kicked out by his senior brother last time, which was also the beginning of the rigid relationship between Li Muchen and his senior brother.
He called Du Qinghui and Xiang Wanqing's mobile phones several times but couldn't get through, so he could only wait for them to come to him. Although they have been here several times in the past few years, they have no agreement and don't know when they will show up next time.
Of course Lin Manqing would not hang herself from a tree. There was no progress on Lu Jingshan's side. She contacted people from the Emei sect through various channels and asked them to mediate, hoping to at least save Ma Shan's life.
Emei and Shushan are both in the Shu region and have a deep connection with each other. Looking back, Emei can be regarded as Kun Dao separated from Shushan.
The Emei Sect quickly responded and said that Suyun Fairy had gone to Shushan in person.
There is hope for Lin Manqingjue.
Su Yunxiangu was the former head of Emei. She was involved in the affairs of the Li family in the capital twenty years ago and was one of the top ten occult sects that besieged and suppressed the Li family at that time.
According to Wang Chongxian of Baiyun Temple, Suyun Xiangu was the first person to discover that they were being used by the devil, and she was also the first person to retreat and repent.
Today, when Xuanmen monks can distance themselves from Li Muchen and even show hostility, Fairy Suyun can take the initiative to come forward and go to Shushan to lobby in person, probably out of guilt for the Li family. Lin Manqing thought so.
Hou Qigui in the capital is not much better than Lang Yuwen.
Although running a home does not require as much dealing with the outside world as running a business, in an environment like the capital, it is not easy to maintain the family business.
The Xida family is watching with eager eyes. On the surface, they are still in contact with the Li family, but secretly they have begun to make small moves.
Hou Qigui can understand that in such large families, no one person has the final say. The entanglements of interests are very complicated. If there is trouble outside, a war may have been fought internally.
He can only work conscientiously and carefully guard the Li family's family business. At the worst, he must guard the Li family's old home. This is his bottom line.
People stay in the house, but people die when the house is lost.
Fortunately, the families in the capital were only making small moves. As long as Li Muchen was still alive, no one would dare to openly attack the Li family's property.
On this day, Wang Baishun suddenly came to see Hou Qigui, out of breath.
"Hou...Mr. Hou, something serious has happened!"
"What's wrong, Mr. Xi?"
Wang Baishun is a well-known old stubborn man in the capital. He has always been leisurely and lazy. He has never been in such a mess. Hou Qigui knew that there must be something important.
"They are meeting secretly in the suburbs of Beijing!"
"Who? Who met in secret?"
"Hey, who else is there? Everyone from the West!" Wang Baishun became more and more anxious when he saw that Hou Qigui was still calm, "I say, Mr. Hou, you are so behind on this news that you don't even know about it?"
Hou Qigui said: "I really don't know. Tell me, why are they holding a meeting that makes you so anxious?"
Wang Baishun said: "I don't know what the meeting will be, but you have to know that since Mr. Li came to the capital, in these years, the Xi family has never left the Li family in anything they do. This time all the heads of the Xi family will go They plotted alone without notifying the Li family, guess what they wanted to do?"
Hou Qigui had already thought of this section when he heard Wang Baishun say that everyone in the West was gathering. But there was no expression on his face, and he smiled and said: "Master Xi, you must be worrying too much. It is normal for the Xi family to get together. Our Mr. Li is not here, and no one from the Li family is qualified to participate in this meeting."
"Oh, you are so worried about me!" Wang Baishun patted his thigh, "Since I am the emperor, I am not worried and the eunuch is worried, right?"
"Master Xi, don't forget, you are Master Xi of the Wang family, and you are also from the Xi family!" Hou Qigui reminded.
"Tch, don't I know who I am? Isn't it just because I'm from the Wang family that I'm anxious! Mr. Marquis, you know me best. Back then, I was the first to fully support Young Master Li. Mr. Li supports the alliance between the Wang family and the Li family!"
"The sky will change, and so will people. I can understand it!" Hou Qigui said.
"Hey, conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't changed. If I had changed, I wouldn't be here to tell you this news today, right?" Wang Baishun promised, patting his chest.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Hou Qigui stood up and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Xi, for being considerate. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Mr. Li."
"That's pretty much it!" Wang Baishun glared, feeling much calmer in his chest.
"Then Master Xi, please tell me, what are we discussing when we gather here?" Hou Qigui asked.
"I don't know the specifics. If I knew, I would have told you earlier. But there is one thing..." Wang Baishun looked around, lowered his voice and said, "The initiator of this reunion of the Western Family is not anyone from the Western Family." , not the one from the capital, but a foreigner."
"A foreigner?" Hou Qigui was surprised, "Where did he come from?"
"Jinzhou."
……
When Li Muchen came out of seclusion, heavy snow was falling in the sky.
Several months have passed since the gambling game in Haojiang.
He stood in the yard, looking at the vast white world, feeling that his life and the world were integrated.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky, each one seems to be alive.
It's just that their lives are short. When they condense in the cold air and fall, they quickly turn into water.
But they came one after another, one after another. Relying on their tenacious vitality and huge number, they gathered together and just covered the earth with a thick layer of white.
The people closest to him stood under the eaves of the corridor. When they learned that he had left seclusion, they all came in the snow.
Lin Manqing told him what happened in the past three years.
She tried to keep her speech as brief as possible without losing the key points, so that Li Muchen could assess the situation clearly.
Originally, everyone thought that Li Muchen would be angry, especially after hearing about the recent experiences of Mashan and Jingli Group.
But when Lin Manqing finished speaking, Li Muchen's expression did not change at all.
He was so calm, as calm as a dry well in the courtyard.
"Winter will always come and it will always pass." Li Muchen looked up at the sky and said.
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Stop!"
The heavy snow that was falling all over the sky suddenly stopped.
The clouds in the sky cleared, and the sun shone down, making the snow sparkle.
He said again: "Become!"
The snow all over the ground melted, and even the whiteness of the distant land and mountains gradually faded away.
Then he said: "Spring is coming!"
People then saw young leaves bursting out from the sycamore tree in the yard.
Looking around, Hecheng, which was still white just now, has been covered with a layer of fresh green...
