"This...this matter may not be easy to handle..."
The woman looked troubled.
"It's not that the little woman is shirk-y, it's just that there is chaos in the family now and she can't care about it for the moment... Furthermore, it was many years ago that Xiaolang was sent away. It's hard to say whether those objects are still there, so it's hard to say for a while.
I dare not agree easily."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Use a handkerchief to suppress the tears from the corners of your eyes.
When she first received the news and learned that the pillar of her family had been imprisoned at a place where it was rumored that one would shed a layer of human skin when entering, she felt that the sky above her head was falling. If she hadn't been the only one in the house,
Master, you can't mess up your position and influence people's hearts. I really want to faint on the spot. She also wants to help the old man, but the actual conditions do not allow it.
The old man also knew things, but he couldn't go on a trip in vain and return empty-handed. So he asked: "Can you tell me what kind of trouble my house is encountering? I might be able to help with some advice..."
When the woman heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
The joy on his face was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Seriously?" After asking, he realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "This, this is not questioning your ability, it's just that you are too happy..."
The old man said quietly: "Don't panic, take your time."
The woman calmed down and recounted the news she had received - she didn't know the details of what happened in the court, but she knew that her brother-in-law was ambitious and took advantage of her husband's absence to win over the clan elders and recruit troops in a high-profile manner.
.
Now they are cooperating with the rebel Huang Lie everywhere in the uprising, completely ignoring that his brother and his family are still being held hostage in Zheng Qiao's hands...
The woman looked bitter.
"My uncle is probably looking forward to the death of our family! I heard that back then, the elders of the clan wanted to inherit my brother-in-law under the name of my father-in-law. After all, the master is the eldest son of the second wife, so adoption is not a good idea, but the father-in-law chose the second wife.
He had little savings, and his food and clothing were not as good as those of his eldest brother. My uncle had been resentful and dissatisfied for many years. As long as Master Lang dies, he can legitimately inherit the Qiu family..."
The woman gritted her teeth with despair on her face and said: "If Master Lang... unfortunately dies in the dungeon this time, my brother-in-law can still use the banner of 'avenging his brother' to gain a reputation as a brother, friend and brother-in-law among the nobles...
...With such a benefit, how could he not be moved by it?"
The old man listened quietly the whole time.
After she finished speaking, she asked: "Is it just such a thing?"
The woman heard the hope: "Do you have a solution?"
"It's not a clever solution, but there is no problem in helping your family escape from this dragon's den. Anyway, Zheng Qiao has been completely offended to death. Since staying here means death, there may be a way to survive if you escape." The solution is simple and crude.
The woman asked in surprise: "Prison robbery?"
With the ability of the old man, he can really do it.
"Um."
only--
"What Ayan was wearing back then is very important. If it's convenient, Madam, please send someone to look for it..."
I made this trip just for that thing.
The woman understood when she heard this.
If you want the old man to help, you have to pay for it.
She quickly got up and asked her servants to search in the treasury.
Because he had passed the blood test and his appearance had some traces of the parents of the previous generation, after Ayan was brought back to the Qiu Mansion, he was carefully taken care of as the eldest heir. He was provided with the best food and clothing, and his personal belongings were also properly preserved. .If he hadn't grown up and looked not smart enough for others to notice, maybe the secret would have been carried into the coffin by the maidservant.
After that, Ayan was sent to the countryside to fend for himself. His existence became a taboo in Qiu Mansion. No one dared to mention it. Naturally, his things were not deliberately disposed of. After a night of rummaging, a group of servants finally found something in the store. Find the box in the gray corner.
The box is not big and light, but the contents are fragmentary.
"Ayan, I finally found it!"
The old man plucked at it and pulled out something excitedly. It was a wooden pendant one finger long. It was dusty and could not be seen as valuable. The woman did not know how precious this thing was. The old man in Dafengdalang cares so much.
The old man calmed down and waved to the young man who was eating pastries: "Ayan, come to the teacher."
The young man put down the delicious pastries, followed the instructions obediently, and let the old man put the piece of wood pendant on himself. He raised his hand and touched the piece of wood, and his tone of voice fluctuated slightly.
"Teacher, it's warm." It was obviously just a piece of wood, but the touch felt like smooth and warm jade, which made him feel at ease inexplicably. Even the hesitation that had been bothering him disappeared. It was like an exhausted drowning person who finally floated to the surface. ashore.
"Well, wear it well."
The young man heard this and put it into his lapel.
The woman was close enough to see clearly, and realized that the wooden pendant looked like a coffin. How unlucky would it be to carry it with you?
But this is not what she should be concerned about. What she cares about is when the old man will help her rescue her husband from prison. And the old man did not break his promise and asked the woman to pack up her belongings and arrange carriages and horses. Once the Qiu family's parents are rescued, their family will Leave immediately.
The woman did as she was told.
These things cannot be done in a day or two.
So the three old men were left to live temporarily in the house.
The young man among the three tidied up the guest room.
Just as he was about to call the old man and the young man to rest, he saw the young man holding his chin in one hand and playing with the lost wooden pendant with the other.
The young man just checked it out and looked over it, but couldn't see anything special. He didn't know what the old man was doing by traveling all this way. However, the next moment he was slapped in the face - the pendant exuded a radiant light. Crystal green light.
Then it turned into a brown wooden stick with a stretched posture in the young man's hand, surrounded by simple and mysterious mysterious totems. This pattern is similar to the group pattern on the young man's shoulder blade, the former is more complex, and the latter is more like a simplified version.
There was a bang.
The old man heard the noise and came over.
His eyes were fixed on the wooden stick, and his cheeks were tense.
The young man didn't notice their reactions, as if he had gotten a novelty. After playing with it for a few times, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a flash of dazzling color. He pointed at the swaying little red flower on the top of the wooden stick and said, "Teacher, you
Look, it’s a flower.”
A flower grew on the wood.
It's as abrupt as the only hair on a bald man's head.
The old man's attention was not on the flowers. Instead, he stretched out his trembling old hands and held the young man's cane-holding hand reverently. Tears rolled down his face, and his lips trembled as he uttered a few indistinct words. Listen carefully to find out.
Yes - "God has not abandoned my Gongxi clan..."
The boy didn't understand why the teacher was crying.
He raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Asked: "Teacher, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
The old man wiped away his tears and took a deep breath: "No, Ayan, please practice the method that the teacher taught you..."
The young man naturally did as he was told. When he saw the young man wearing the familiar high priest's garb, the old man felt completely at ease.
He touched the young man's head lovingly: "That's good, but you have to practice more diligently in the next few years. Listen to the teacher, and don't rush to open up your wisdom orifices now. Staying innocent will allow you to focus more on practice, and you will get twice the result with half the effort...
...Ayan, there’s nothing wrong with being a little silly and a little naive.”
"Yeah!" The young man smiled, "Listen to the teacher."
The young man had nowhere to complain.
Uninformed people thought that the young man was innocent, ignorant and harmless! In fact, he killed many bandits and gangsters by chopping melons and vegetables along the way. The old one is crazy and the young one is stupid. How many more years will he grow up?
I don’t know what the harm is...
To the old man, plundering prisons and rescuing people was just a piece of cake. After that, he continued on his way, not bothering to listen to the useless words of gratitude from the Qiu family. The three of them walked further and further, heading towards a secluded deep mountain and old forest, intending to settle down.
The young man finally couldn't hold it any longer.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"What do you think Ayan is hanging around his neck? He rushes into the world without any strength, and the end result is just being eaten by tigers, leopards and jackals. He needs the power to protect himself the most!"
"Just a piece of wood."
The old man made a surprising statement: "That is a national seal."
youth:"!!!"
The old man shook his head again and corrected his mistake.
"No, it's not the national seal. It's a gift from the gods. It just comes from the same source as the so-called national seals circulated in the outside world... Whether it's the national seal or the divine staff... they are actually things given by the gods... Yes
, that’s it…”
youth:"……"
He rolled his eyes silently.
This old thing is starting to go crazy again.
As the only normal person among the three, he feels that he is under a lot of pressure. He has to take care of the old and the young at the same time. He doesn't know when this day will end.
He yawned and prepared to catch up on his sleep.
at the same time--
Two fiery figures broke into Gong Xiqiu's camp at night - to be precise, one of them dragged the other by force. Just as he was about to put on his clothes and sleep, he was so frightened that he sat up straight.
When he saw the person, he said helplessly: "Alai, is there anything you can't discuss tomorrow?"
"It's too late tomorrow! We have to ask clearly today!" Gong Xilai grabbed Yang Ying's hand, pushed it in front of Gong Xiqiu, and asked hurriedly, "Brother, do you see any changes in her?"
Gong Xiqiu was wearing a quilt, his legs crossed, and his mouth was pursed.
"How can she change? Or is it because the conditions in the military camp are not good, she is very angry, and she has acne on her face?"
Gong Xilai was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
He grabbed the quilt that Gong Xiqiu was covering tightly and shook him.
"Angry, angry, Aying is angry!"
Gong Xiqiu followed Gong Xi's force and was shaken from side to side like a big doll. He didn't react for a moment: "She's not pretending to be a corpse right now, why is she so angry?"
"That's not why you're so angry!"
Gong Xiqiu stopped shaking: "Then what's the anger?"
"Martial spirit!" Yang Ying answered.
At first glance, Gong Xiqiu thought he had tinnitus.
"What's wrong with you?"
Gong Xilai said ecstatically: "What a martial spirit!"
After all, Yang Ying was born into a general family, and her father, Mr. Yang, had never restricted her from wielding swords or guns. He also believed that learning some martial arts would help his daughter to stay in shape, make her less likely to get sick, and make it easier for her to make a living.
Now that she is alone, she needs more strength to protect herself, and she dare not stop practicing martial arts for a day.
Just now I don’t know why——
The energy of heaven and earth that had been unable to stay in the meridians could suddenly be absorbed! Yang Ying was confused at first, and then ecstatic. She shared the news with Gong Xi Lai beside her. Then she was captured by Gong Xi Lai and came to find Gong Xi Qiu.
Already.
"I couldn't do it before, but now I can suddenly do it...Brother, do you think today is a special day? You see, Aying can do it, can I do it too?" Gongxilai typed out a lot of words, but he didn't say anything.
Opportunity to interrupt.
Gongxi Qiu looked serious and took Yang Ying's pulse.
Although it was so weak that it could be ignored, it was indeed a wisp of martial energy, which meant that Yang Ying could practice.
