Weicheng snow

On the way back to Weicheng, Murong Qian and Yi Qingchen talked about a lot of interesting things that happened in recent days. For example, a young girl suddenly visited Weicheng a few days ago and had a very speculative conversation with Master Liu. The restoration of the Shenyan armor, the restoration project of the Yan armor is coming to an end, Master Liu does not need to repair it himself, there are less things to worry about, and the body is gradually recovering.

This is great news for Yi Qingchen.

After hearing this, Yi Qingchen's originally gloomy mood became a little more cheerful, "So, master's craftsmanship can be regarded as successors..." Murong Qian nodded, and said some other interesting things, straight to Yi Qingchen was so funny that he burst out laughing out loud, just now he showed a gratified expression, but his eyes stayed on Yi Qingchen without blinking.

Hua Shenchi only looked in the direction of the two brothers calmly from the beginning to the end, but the aura released from his body already made the Yue family killer who was walking beside him feel more oppressed, and there was a sleeping Jiang Zhige on the latter's back. , was even more out of breath, so he whispered to Hua Shenchi, "Go get it back when you are angry, if you don't say anything, it is easy to go crazy."

Hua Shenchi said indifferently, "The two of them are brothers."

The killer of the Yue family was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Murong Qian's side face in disbelief, "Brother? Which younger brother have you ever seen look at your elder brother like this?"

Hua Shenchi replied casually, "This is on your back."

Hua Shenchi spoke very briefly to people he didn't know well. The killer of the Yue family felt that he was talking about Jiang Jiuqu, a lunatic.

After they returned to Weicheng, Murong Qian arranged for someone to take Jiang Zhige to the Survival Hall, the Yue Family killer was freed, and immediately Sa Yazi went off to have fun somewhere, leaving only Yi Qingchen, Murong Qian and Hua behind. The three of Shen Chi stared at each other.

The three of them stood in front of the city gate for a while, and Murong Qian suggested, "Doctor Hua, how about going to the medicine building to help take care of Xia Jiang's body?" Yi Qingchen noticed that Hua Shenchi gave Murong Qian a look, but didn't Hearing the latter's suggestion, he had to smile awkwardly and ease the atmosphere between the two, "Mu Mu and Master are also considered old friends, so we should go back to Master's place to visit first."

Murong Qian smiled but didn't answer, Hua Shenchi was also unwilling to talk.

Yi Qingchen couldn't bear the atmosphere when these two got along the most, and he couldn't bear it since ten years ago.After being quarreled by the two, the good mood disappeared immediately, so I had to sigh helplessly and planned to go back alone.

Just at this time a guard ran up to Murong Qian and whispered something to him, the smile on Murong Qian's face froze.Yi Qingchen sensed something was wrong and showed a puzzled expression, but Murong Qian didn't tell him what was going on, he just resigned, "Some troubles have occurred in the army, and I need to deal with them personally, so I can't accompany Brother Xue for the time being. , but tonight I will definitely be a manor in the Skillful Hand Pavilion, to clean up the dust for Brother Xue."

After Murong Qian left, the expression on Hua Shenchi's face obviously eased a lot, Yi Qingchen led him back to Master Liu's shop, and said as he walked, "When you were in Taoze earlier, why did Mr. Withdrew the troops? I saw that the corpse that was killed was able to crawl back to the shore from the water unharmed in the end, so it should be because he was not afraid of the woman in the red dress..."

Hua Shenchi said lightly, "Strength suppresses."

Yi Qingchen doesn't have internal skills, doesn't understand martial arts, so he can't see the mystery, Hua Shenchi can only try to explain, "The group of 'hundred ghosts' led by Mr. The defective product made by the method of bringing the dead back to life, just like the faceless girl who caused trouble in Lingshan earlier."

"The method of resurrection is divided into three realms, one is the walking dead without thinking, the other is monsters like Yeluo and Baigui, who obey the orders of people and are controlled by others, and consume the energy of the person who gave the order when they act. The third is resurrection..."

"Leading so many 'hundred ghosts' must consume a lot of money...and the woman in the red dress probably still has some reservations."

If you can't fight against him, you don't make unnecessary sacrifices. That's the reason, but it's a bit strange that the ghost-faced gentleman is willing to give up the opportunity to fight for Jiang Zhige just like that.The more Yi Qingchen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After holding back for a while, he couldn't figure out why, but he had already arrived at Master Liu's shop.

Putting these tedious things behind for the time being, Yi Qingchen led Hua Shenchi to climb over the wall in a familiar way, avoiding those deeply buried traps, and rushing along the path to the back kitchen. According to past habits, Master Liu should be eating dinner.

When I came to the back kitchen, there was no one in the back kitchen.

Yi Qingchen was stunned for a long time in disbelief, until Hua Shenchi looked at the direction of the next courtyard and said to him, "There is a voice over there." Yi Qingchen just came back to his senses, and rushed towards the study.

Hastily rushed to the door of the study, and saw in the dark room, Master Liu was sitting at the desk with a girl looking through a stack of drawings, Master Liu pointed to a place to explain in detail, and the girl repeated while listening Key words, nodding from time to time.The two looked at it for a long time in the afterglow of the setting sun, they didn't even pay attention to it when the sky was dark, Yi Qingchen sighed as he watched, quietly walked to the side of the desk, raised the flint to light the lamp.

The moment the fire came on, all four people in the room were startled. Master Liu was frightened by the sudden appearance of Yi Qingchen, his heart pounded, and he immediately slapped the latter on the head, "Why are you walking so silently?" ?” Zhi Jiang patted Yi Qingchen back from the shock.

Yi Qingchen stared at the girl in disbelief for a long time, and the girl clapped her hands happily, "Master Yi!" Then he turned to look at Hua Shenchi standing outside the door with a startled expression, "Elder Shenchi! "Yi Qingchen faltered for a long time before asking, "If so? Why did you come down from Lingshan?"

"Oh, it's not that Senior Sister Shen Yi is worried about you!" Ruhui immediately reached out to the treasure bag in his waist, took out a mechanical bird from inside, twisted off one of the mechanical bird's feet, and took out the scroll from inside. The letter came to Yi Qingchen, "Here, Senior Sister Shen Yi asked me to hand it over to you and Elder Shen Chi, Young Master. I am the one in charge of delivering the letter."

Yi Qingchen unpacked the letter, Hua Shenchi walked to Yi Qingchen's side in two or three steps, and the two of them read the contents of the letter carefully by the light of the fire, the more they looked at it, the more they took a breath of fresh air, and they looked at it like Can't help asking curiously, "What's the matter?"

The letter was written by Shen Yi himself, and it explained some major events that happened after several people left Lingshan. The most notable thing is that the news of Hua Shenchi's reappearance spread like wildfire. Shen Chi healed the illness, but Ling Shan was unable to do so, so he could only claim that the news was not true, but it aroused doubts.

All the sects in the Jianghu and even the royal family demanded that Lingshan reveal Hua Shenchi's whereabouts after the battle ten years ago.Until this letter was written, the two sides were still at a stalemate.

After Yi Qingchen read the letter, he looked at Hua Shenchi's expression worriedly, and saw that the latter frowned, fell into deep thought, and didn't say much.Ruhui read the letter and said puzzledly, "It shouldn't be, only Senior Brother Shen Sheng and Senior Sister Shen Yi, and some trusted disciples should know about the appearance of Elder Shen Chi, and the elders should not deliberately betray such news ..."

Even if Yi Qingchen thought of a name, "National Teacher..." This person had been sending eyeliners to monitor everyone in Jiangling before. It is not difficult to discover Hua Shenchi's true identity, but he released Hua Shenchi What exactly did Chi's news want to do?Do you want to announce the method of bringing the dead back to life to the world, and attract everyone to snatch it?

What good does it do them?

Master Liu saw the surprised and uncertain expressions on the faces of several people, he slapped the table, pointed at Yi Qingchen and cursed, "You kid knows how to guess all day long, think about it, how many times have you been thinking about it?" Is it true? I've been fighting with myself all day, can I put some thought into the business? If I really want to know what's going on, I can go to someone to ask, or I can check it myself. Why do I think out of thin air? Delay the old man's teaching, walk away!"

Then I want to rush out of Yiqingchen.

Yi Qingchen couldn't laugh or cry when he was scolded by Master Liu, and he said aggrievedly, "It's only been a few days since I saw you, you are so willing to drive me away, you really only have Yan Jia in your eyes, and I am a burden."

Master Liu snorted softly, "It's good for you to know." After a moment of silence, he turned his gaze back to Yi Qingchen and asked, "Have you had dinner, kid? There are still some steamed buns in the back kitchen. After a long day of driving, get some cushions when you’re hungry.”

Yi Qingchen shook his head with a wry smile, "I haven't eaten yet, Xiaoqian will find me to eat some kind of feast to welcome the wind and clean the dust, master, do you want to go with me?"

Master Liu immediately waved his hand and refused, "I can't stand what you young people do, the steamed buns with green vegetables are pretty good."

Ruhui wanted to go very much, but he turned his head and looked at the Yanjia drawing on the table, and hesitated again, "How about, or, I'd better stay with Mr. Chan Ji... Mr. Yi Can you, just, pack a snack for me..."

As soon as Yi Qingchen responded to Ruhui's request, there was a guard calling out the word "Yi Gongzi" outside the courtyard. Yi Qingchen guessed that the time was about the same, so he led Hua Chenchi out, but Hua Shenchi didn't want Hua Chenchi to be Rejected straight away, "You can go."

The word "mind" is clearly written on the face.

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, it was really not good to take Hua Shenchi there when Murong Qian was there, so he nodded and went to the appointment alone.

Following the guards across the long street, they found a crowd of spectators surrounding a stall.It's been a long time since I've seen such a popular stall, Yi Qingchen was curious, so he asked the guards to wait a while, and leaned forward to take a look.

After finally squeezing through the crowd, I saw that the stall owner was carefully painting a sugar painting under the light of a golden lantern. He scooped out the hot syrup in the pot with a spoon, turned his wrists, and in one go, a jade rabbit jumped on the white jade. board.

Seeing it, the children around couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

A woman handed over two coins to the stall owner, and the sugar painting was handed over to a child with braided horns. The child only took one bite, and the whole jade rabbit fell off the bamboo stick and shattered on the ground.

The children around laughed gloatingly, but the child with the shofar braids burst into tears and wanted to buy another one. The woman said helplessly, "I have no money." She dragged the child away from here.

Yi Qingchen was amused to see it, but he actually saw the scene when he got along with Murong Qian from the pair of mother and son.

At that time, both of them were still half-grown children, Yi Baixue had no ability to earn money, money was very tight, and there was no money left to buy toys and candies for Murong Qian, and the two of them would see similar food stalls every time they walked through the street However, Murong Qian would only stare at him from the moment he passed by, and then look away until he lost sight of him, but he never took the initiative to ask for it.

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, and then said to the stall owner, "Old man, help me draw a tiger."

The stall owner scooped up another spoonful of syrup, and painted smoothly, shaking the sugar, and there was a sweet smell in the air.When the tiger painting was finished and was about to be handed over to Yi Qingchen, Yi Qingchen touched his waist, but was surprised to find that his money bag had been handed over to the Cowherd for money when he was in Yedu.

Yi Qingchen stood awkwardly for a while, then turned to look for the guard standing in the distance, but due to the thick wall behind him, neither his eyes nor his voice could convey it.The longer Yi Qingchen stood, the more awkward he became, so he had to reach out to take the sugar painting, hesitating whether to take some valuables as collateral first, and just thinking about how to speak, someone put the money on the table before him.

The pair of hands pushing the money are white and clean, and there are some jasper rings on the slender fingers. It can be seen that they are from a wealthy family. As far as the eye can see, the black and purple sleeves and wrist guards are pierced with fine silver threads, and the fabric is hidden. With dark patterns and lustrous color, it looks like dark clouds flowing under the firelight, Yi Qingchen is shocked when he sees it, and dare not make a sound easily.

The person who handed over the money only chuckled, and said in a very nice voice, "I will pay for this young master's money. If there is more, please help me to draw another rabbit."

Yi Qingchen looked carefully at the sound, and saw that this person was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and the lines on the mask were also very strange, obviously just standing around him, there was a subtle sense of oppression and submission feel.Yi Qingchen felt uneasy, thanked hurriedly, and was about to leave, but the man didn't hold back, and let Yi Qingchen run out of the crowd, he just opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it lightly.

After Yi Qingchen rushed far away from the crowd, he felt that the sense of oppression gradually faded away, but the panic in his heart could not be calmed down. Seeing this, the guard hurried forward to inquire about Yi Qingchen's situation. Yi Qingchen looked at the candy in his hand Hua Hua, shook his head, "It's nothing, let's go to the Skillful Hand Pavilion earlier, don't keep General Murong waiting for a long time."

The Qiaoshou Pavilion was the busiest during dinner time. As soon as Yi Qingchen walked up the stone steps in front of the door, he saw that the lobby was full of guests listening to books, sitting bustling, and some people even brought stools from their own homes and stood on the stools to read. .The waiters shuttled among them, serving tea and water to clean up the dishes, shouting from time to time, "Please come inside, guest officer, please step aside."

Qiao Niang was so busy that she couldn't even see anyone.

Yi Qingchen went up to the second floor with the guards, pushed away the room where the two had dinner before, Murong Qianzao sat on the couch and waited.The small window facing the lobby was wide open, Blind Su's ups and downs came from below, Murong Qian took a sip of his spring tea, and when he heard the door opening, he turned his eyes to the door, his face was full of With a smile, "Brother Xue, you are finally here."
