Mei Shuao hired a fast horse and rushed back to Meizhuang overnight.

He let out a deep sigh of relief when he saw Meizhuang doing as usual.

"Master and Madam, the young master is back!" Before Mei Shuao entered the Yingsong Pavilion, she heard the voice of the nanny shouting.

"Father, Mother, Mother Xu." Mei Shuao hurried towards the three people who came up to him.

"What did Ao'er learn from going south this time?" Father Mei twirled his beard and looked at his son whom he hadn't seen for more than two months with a smile.

"What enlightenment!" Mei's mother took Mei Shu'ao's hand instead of Mei's father's, "Ao'er, why are you so skinny?"

Mei's mother pinched Mei Shuao's arm again, "I can't take care of myself at such an age, I don't have any meat left."

Mei Shuao ate the most sumptuous meal since she went out for two months amidst Mei Mu and Xu Ma's greetings.

After the meal, in Mei Tian's study.

"Father, has there been any changes in Meizhuang during the two months since my son left?" Mei Shuao said to Mei Tian who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Why do you suddenly care about Meizhuang?" Mei Shuao has never asked about such a large family business, and usually let him take care of him, but what happened today, Mei Tian doesn't understand.

"No, it's fine." Mei Shuao looked at the teacup in Mei Tian's hand, and after a closer look, it was almost similar to Ji Yu's set.

"Father, do you know Ji... Guimian Yigu?" Mei Shuao frowned after speaking, for some reason, he didn't want to tell others about his experience of being healed by Ji Yu this month.

"I know, but not familiar." Mei Tian put down his teacup after hearing the name, motioning for Mei Shuao to continue.

"Last month, my boy wanted to stop by to visit my cousin, but I ran into him on the way." Mei Shuao was a little annoyed, "My boy is stupid, so I entangled with him for two or three days, and I slapped him, and I was beaten to death by him." Seriously injured."

Mei Tian walked up to Mei Shuao and sat down, and relaxed his tense body after calling out for Mei Shuao's pulse, "Yan Yigu's moves are really vicious and cunning, especially for those who got hit by his cold palm, they are so tense. Died with a reverse pulse, and the appearance of death was extremely ugly. Few people in the world can be cured of this poisonous palm. You are not his opponent, and it is lucky to be able to save your life."

"When I was young, I had some friendship with him, but I saw that his personality was getting more and more weird, and he never left others behind in things. This kind of friend couldn't make friends, so I gradually alienated him. I haven't had any contact so far. How could he go to you? ?”

"I don't quite understand either. He said that the Mei family owed him, and he wanted to pay for his life..." Mei Shuao recalled Yan Yigu's words carefully, and when he said it, the ferocious face coupled with those cruel words made it hard to imagine. It's frightening.

"I, Mei Tian, ​​consider myself an upright person all my life, and have never had any problems with him. I'll investigate this matter, Ao'er, you should be more careful, and stay in Meizhuang recently and don't go out."

"Yes." Mei Shuao nodded.

In Huaicheng, which is three or four days away from Meizhuang, Ji Yu wandered aimlessly on the street.

It's been a long time since I visited such a busy night market, and it feels very subtle.

After Mei Shuao left, Ji Yu packed up her belongings, quietly left the place where she lived for two years, went to the town to bid farewell to her only friend Jiang Yue, and left without any worries.

Jiang Yue was also a doctor, and he opened a pharmacy in the city. Ji Yu would often go to him to sell some medicinal materials and exchange some silver taels. He said that he was a good friend, but he was just someone who could chat a little more and drink tea together.

When we parted, Jiang Yue was still guilty of telling Ji Yu's residence so much, but Ji Yu didn't think it was a big deal, since he would never see Jiang Yue again anyway.

Ji Yu didn't know where he was going. He hadn't seen his parents since he was a child, and since his master passed away, he really didn't even have a place to go.

"My lord, let's buy a lantern..." A ten-year-old girl came over, her arms were covered with paper lanterns, and she looked at Ji Yu with big eyes and said.

"How much will that cost?"

"Four pennies!"

"Give me this one." Ji Yu pointed to the paper lantern with red lotus painted on its surface.

"Okay, okay." After receiving the money, the girl quickly put all the paper lanterns in her hand aside, and carefully picked up the one that Ji Yu chose, "Wait a minute, son, I'll light it for you."

During this period, the little girl kept looking up at Ji Yu, "Young Master is so beautiful."

Ji Yu didn't respond, just stood aside and watched quietly.

"Is the young master out to play alone?" Seeing that Ji Yu ignored her, the girl continued on her own, "Sir, do you know that Huaicheng will hold an annual martial arts competition in half a month. Oh, I'm so stupid, the young master must know, seeing that the young master has an extraordinary demeanor, he must come to the competition regularly."

Ji Yu was speechless, he had learned medical skills from his master since he was a child, so he didn't have much attainment in martial arts, he was only able to deal with ordinary thieves.

After the paper lantern was lit, the girl tied a small stick of uniform thickness to the string and handed it to Ji Yu, "Hold it, sir, I will watch the martial arts competition." The girl turned around and entered the crowd. Continue to sell paper lanterns.

Ji Yu looked at the paper lantern in his hand with a bit of a smile, the girl was half right, he didn't go to the competition, but to watch it.

Ji Yu came to Huaicheng to pay homage to his master. The master was buried next to the old house where they first lived, not far from Huaicheng. He thought of the martial arts tournament that he liked to watch with his master in the past. No matter where he went to practice medicine, he would be there every year. At this time, rush back to Huaicheng.

He has missed it for two years, but this year he wants to see it alone.

Huaicheng is the second largest city after the capital, and Ji Yu is glad that he arrived early and has a room to stay in.In the past few days, martial arts people from all over the world gathered here, and it was hard for Ji Yu to imagine what it would be like to huddle together with a group of rough people and play on the floor.

The Martial Arts Conference is a grand meeting held by all factions. Reputable figures will participate. It is an excellent opportunity for the younger generations to make their mark by secretly fighting each other.The winner can not only become famous, but also get a hundred taels of gold, and the gold has been supplied by Mei Shuli of the Mei family in the past few years. Most of the hostels in Huaicheng are owned by Mei Shuli. The benefits involved , and outsiders don't quite understand it.

Every year in the competition, the person who won the championship last year will be the keeper, and the person who stays on the stage at the end of the game will compete with the keeper.Life and death certificates will be signed before the game, but generally decent people will not leave a way for the opponent to retreat.

The contestant Ji Yu had the deepest impression on the conference was Yan Yigu, the Nangui. At that time, Ji Yu was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Yan Yigu's sword skills were not as fancy as the previous contestant's, but he used all the tricks. Hit and kill.The methods are also cruel, and he dares to use any despicable tricks. The opponents who compete with him are uglier than the dead ones. In the end, the last champion even offered to withdraw.

Yan Yigu had been the ringleader for three consecutive years before he withdrew from the martial arts tournament.

Ghost Mian Yigu was what people called him at that time, and naturally Yan Yigu also made a lot of enemies.Compared with Lingjing, the respected head of the Yunyang Sect, Yan Yigu is really unpopular.

"Junqin!"

Ji Yu suddenly turned his head, Ji Yu, whose name is Junqin, not many people know his name.

Before he could identify who the person in front of him was, he was hugged by the other party.

Kankan pushed away the person in front of him, only to find that it was Mei Shuli with a bright smile on his face.The corner of Ji Yu's mouth raised unconsciously, "Shu Li, long time no see."

Mei Shuli put his arm on Ji Yu's shoulder and complained, "What's more, why didn't you come to look for me when you came to Huaicheng. I thought you didn't remember me."

Ji Yu doesn't like to touch other people, but he didn't push Mei Shuli away, and even smiled, "Why, I'm just tired and want to rest for two years."

"I'm also very sad about Master Dong Xian. I send someone to clean his house every year..." Mei Shuli paused, "Well... clean his house."

Ji Yu shook his head, "It's not because of Master that I stop treating people, or because I'm tired, it's fine."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask if you don't tell me." Mei Shuli walked forward with Ji Yu half on his arm, "Come on, I'll show you the teahouse I just opened today. The martial arts conference is still seven days away, and it's just in time for the opening." good time..."

……

Mei Shuao watched Mei Shuli and Ji Yu walk farther and farther away, and then slowly lowered the arm that was about to say hello. He was surprised to meet Ji Yu here, but he was stunned before his smile formed. Ji Yu knew Mei Shu Li, and have a good relationship?What's more, Ji Yu didn't see Mei Shuao standing aside.

Not wanting to miss out with Ji Yu, Mei Shuao had no choice but to follow behind them leisurely.Walking into the teahouse, I didn't see the two of them. I asked the shopkeeper and found out that I went to the private room in the pavilion. Mei Shuao walked up the steps step by step. It turns out that Ji Yu can also chat and laugh so happily with others.

Mei Shuao put his finger on the door, he suddenly didn't want to go in again.I went downstairs and ordered a pot of Biluochun and sat down by the gate in the hall to drink slowly.

The conversation between the two big men carrying knives next to him attracted Mei Shuao's attention.

"Did you see those two people who went up just now?"

"Which one do you say?"

"One of them is long and pretty."

"You saw it too? At first glance, I thought that the young lady of some family was so tall, but after another look, it turned out to be a man."

"I've never seen anyone more beautiful than him."

"I'm really ignorant. You haven't met Ji Yu, the apprentice of the medical sage! I heard that once he treated the youngest son of Master Chen Tuo's family, that boy was so obsessed with him. Why didn't he marry him?" , made his father angry, hahahaha."

"Hahaha, who didn't know about Huaicheng back then, Lord Chen Duo's heroic spirit gave birth to such a worthless young son."

"Don't talk about Ji Yu, I don't think this one is worse than Ji Yu. This is enough, the waist is so fucking thin... Hehehe."

"Ah!" The big man with a dirty smile let out a shrill scream.

"Looking for death!" The man next to him saw that his companion was covering his face, with blood continuously flowing from his fingers, and he quickly drew out his knife and slashed at Mei Shuao.

Mei Shuao flashed nimbly, and said with a look of disdain, "Who is looking for death, just keep your mouth shut."

"What do you guys say, what's bothering you!" The man quickly swung his knife, and slashed at Mei Shuao again.

Mei Shuao raised his sword to defend himself, and then used all his strength to lift the man's knife away. With a twist of his wrist, the sword pointed straight at the man's neck, and stopped at a distance of one centimeter.

The man froze, "Big... Hero, spare me."

"Let's go, I don't want to see you." Mei Shu sat on the chair proudly, looking at the small dart nailed to the wooden post.
