Jiang Ming looked at the busy figure in the medicine hall, and could vaguely see the joyful escape from back then.
It's just that more than twenty years have passed, and my old friend has gone through many vicissitudes. His face is still pretty, but there are some crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
Time, the greatest and cruelest existence...
Jiang Ming looked at the figure with long eyes and slowly left.
A moment later, he reappeared outside the medicine hall, but this time, he showed his true face, only slightly older.
Jiang Ming walked slowly inside, and the waiter on the side was still greeting him warmly, until the figure in the medicine hall turned around and saw Jiang Ming.
The sunlight outside the window shone on the two of them, seeming to coat them with a layer of golden light...
Well, it's all an illusion. They're just two old guys over fifty years old. When people passing by, they couldn't help but glance up and down, as if they didn't like blocking the road...
Jiang Ming looked at the surprised person in front of him and grinned: "Little girl, long time no see!"
"You..." Zhou Wenxiu stared at Jiang Ming with a shocked face: "Where have you been in the past few decades? I thought you died outside..."
As he spoke, Zhou Wenxiu's eyes were a little red, and she jumped up regardless, threw herself on Jiang Ming and gave him a big hug.
All around, the waiters at the pharmacy looked shocked. Although my boss was very careless, he had never seen him do such a thing to anyone.
Jiang Ming didn't bother to explain, so he lifted Zhou Wenxiu off his body and walked to the backyard together.
"We haven't seen each other for decades, but this little girl is now able to take charge of her own business!" Jiang Ming sat on the stone bench, looking at the medicine hall which occupied a large area, and said with a smile.
Nowadays, Dayun City is at the foot of the emperor. Being able to acquire such a large area is really not something that ordinary people can do.
"Huh, my past twenty years have not been in vain. I joined the Feiyun Army. I started as a despised little female doctor and became the most outstanding military doctor along the way. My position is not low. This is Fang Hou
The land that I personally granted to me..."
Zhou Wenxiu hugged Jiang Ming's arm and seemed to turn into that cheerful girl again in front of Jiang Ming. She proudly told her achievements and talked about her experiences over the years...
Jiang Ming listened quietly, until Zhou Wenxiu's mouth went dry and she stopped talking, then he rubbed her head and gave her a thumbs up sincerely:
"It's really awesome!"
Such an experience, in the previous world, would have made her a real heroine, and she was not the kind who would be hugged by a man whenever she fell down...
Jiang Ming once again caught a glimpse of the faintly visible calluses on her weather-beaten hands: "It's not been an easy life for more than twenty years."
Zhou Wenxiu's eyes turned red again, but she held back the tears in her eyes and said stubbornly: "I am the most powerful Zhou Wenxiu, no difficulty can stop me!"
Jiang Ming laughed.
"But sometimes, smelling the smell of blood, lying on the ground in the wilderness, looking at the stars in the sky, I always think of Ping'an County, you, grandpa, Sister Qingqing and Tian An'an, no... I don't think of Tian.
That little devil An An..."
Zhou Wenxiu murmured, and began to ramble again, and then talked about what he had seen and heard over the years, and the new friends he had made...
Jiang Ming listened carefully and smiled gently. It could be seen that although Zhou Wenxiu's past twenty years had not been easy, he seemed very happy.
Sure enough, it was the Zhou Wenxiu he knew, who was outstanding everywhere...
"By the way, Lord Fang often talks about you..." Zhou Wenxiu suddenly said: "Do you want to go find him?"
Jiang Ming was stunned, recalling the gentle young man in his mind. At that time, he only wanted to read books about sages, but later he had no choice but to learn martial arts. Finally, by accident, he followed Liehu Village and joined the Feiyun Army. Twenty years later... he actually became a
Marquis Wu of the Yun Kingdom.
Wei Yan, the Literary Minister, and Fang Lie, the Marquis of Wu...the two pillars of the Yun Kingdom, although both were less than fifty years old, they both made great military exploits and were the emperor's right-hand men!
"I don't know if this guy has realized his ideal in this current situation..."
…
Three days later, Wuhou Mansion.
"Jiang Ming!"
The moment Fang Lie saw Jiang Ming, he immediately rushed up and gave him a bear hug.
Jiang Ming looked around and saw that Peng Lu, Wang Dong... were all old friends from Hunting Tiger Village back then, and they were gathered together today.
There is also Guan Feng, who is now a general under Fang Lie, but in today's gathering, who dares to put him in a lower position.
"Guan Headhunter, long time no see!"
Jiang Ming and Guan Feng looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
That night, everyone was very drunk, shouting about interesting things that happened in Tiger Hunting Village, such as the first time Fang Houye hunted a tiger, he almost chopped the tiger into minced meat and so on...
But the past is the past, but no one dares to talk about the embarrassing things that happened to Mr. Fang now, and no one dares to hook up with Fang Lie when drinking.
Late at night, Jiang Ming escaped from the crowd who were still drinking and walked to Fang Lie. He was the only one here, sipping strong liquor.
"It's cold at high places, isn't it?"
Jiang Ming glanced at this old friend, and the youthful gentleness of the past disappeared, replaced by a solemn and cold look. Only when he occasionally laughed and chatted with old friends, could a hint of gentleness be seen.
"How's it going? Has your dream come true now?"
Fang Lie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then silently took a sip of wine and sighed: "Where can I see any ideals?"
"Now that I think about it, I realize... From the moment I joined the Feiyun Army, I was like a wheel being pushed forward by history. Apart from keeping rolling, I couldn't see the way forward at all.
I don’t know where to roll, I don’t know whether the front is a plain or a cliff, whether it will soar into the sky or fall to pieces..."
"Every decision I make will affect the fate of countless people. When someone gets better, someone must get worse, but they are all the merits of the Feiyun Army..."
"So now, I seem to be in a high position, but in fact I can't decide anything..."
Fang Lie couldn't talk any more and took another sip of wine.
"So, idealism is difficult. If we can survive, it's already pretty good!" Jiang Ming smiled.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "By the way... Wei Yan has been asking about you intentionally or unintentionally!" Fang Lie suddenly said as the night wind blew, he seemed to wake up a little.
When Wei Yan was mentioned, Fang Lie's eyes were a little cold and stern. Obviously, the two pillars of the country's protection were not as happy as the outside world imagined...
When Ningzhou Chengguan Peak was besieged, Fang Lie almost killed Wei Yan at his door...
"Inquire about me?" Jiang Ming was a little stunned, remembering the young man who had no plans at all in Yunmeng Mountain.
"You must be a little suspicious..."
Jiang Ming whispered in his heart, but he was not surprised.
After all, he is not a god. Even if he has the art of disguise, he cannot completely hide his traces. If someone is willing, he can still find some clues.
The most obvious deed is that the martial arts master Zhang Shan rushed to Ningzhou City, saved Guan Feng from a desperate situation, and went to the master's realm. He was obviously a person who had a close relationship with Guan Feng.
When the Feiyun Army was still called Feiyun Castle, it had been in Dayun Mansion all year round. Naturally, it had already heard the name of Zhangshan. After investigating the scope of activities of this mountain, the most common ones were Dayun City and Ping'an Town...
At that time, there were not many warriors who came out of Ping'an Town... Jiang Ming was one of them. He also went to Liehu Village to learn martial arts, so it was reasonable to rescue Guan Feng.
"But with these bits and pieces of clues, he can guess something about me... He just doesn't know what he wants from me. Is it just to win over a grandmaster, or does he have an ulterior motive..."
"But it doesn't matter. With my strength now, even if Zhang Shan's identity is exposed, it won't have any impact on me..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming smiled: "You don't need to worry about this matter. If he can find me, then he will do it."
Fang Lie frowned and hesitated for a long time before asking hesitantly: "Does Zhang Shan... have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Ming laughed: "You already have the answer in your mind, do you need to ask more?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Lie looked at Jiang Ming in shock even though he had already guessed.
"Compared to you, what do I, the Marquis of Wu, mean to me?" Fang Lie shook his head and sighed.
Jiang Ming looked at him with a smile: "What, you have a new ideal?"
Fang Lie raised his head to the sky and looked at the stars in the sky: "Of course there are. No matter what status or age, who can have no ideals? It's a pity that now I have been completely trapped and can no longer pursue those things...
"
The starlight reflected in his eyes looked a bit crystal clear... A pink and jade-like little girl ran over in the distance and shouted to Grandpa to drink less wine, which made many men in Yehuzhuang burst into laughter.
Fang Lie lowered his head, the stars in his eyes disappeared, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he hugged the little girl.
"this is mine……"
Fang Lie looked back and found that his old friend who was drinking beside him just now had disappeared.
Fang Lie subconsciously looked up and saw a figure above a certain attic in the distance that seemed to nod to him, turned around, jumped, and disappeared into the moonlight...
"Ideal..."
Fang Lie waved his hand towards the invisible figure, his hair on his temples had begun to show gray...
…
Three days later, Jiang Ming and Zhou Wenxiu returned to Ping'an County and reunited with Ah Fei, Li Qingqing and others who were getting older.
The old friends in Ping'an County, who are not even warriors, have aged much faster than Zhou Wenxiu and Fang Lie. Today's Ah Fei even looks a bit like the old ginger head, with white hair on his temples and an out-of-shape figure...
"When I come back, I'm afraid things will really change."
In the dim light of the morning, Jiang Ming glanced at the words "Xiu Ming Medicine Hall" for the last time, smiled and turned to leave...
…
Half a month later!
On a trade road, a caravan was slowly moving forward. This was a newly opened trade road between Yun State and Jing State in the south. It has been quite lively in recent years.
In the only carriage in the caravan, Jiang Ming was disguised as a fat old man, like a wealthy businessman. The old god was sitting there, with a lot of books beside him, all of which recorded records of cultivating immortality with Jing Guo.
Intelligence information related to the remains of the deceased.
"He should really be an immortal cultivator, but his body after death was chopped open by several martial arts masters... It shows that the body of an immortal cultivator is not much stronger than that of a warrior."
Jiang Ming nodded: "As I guessed, even immortal cultivators have a limited lifespan. They focus more on practicing Qi and building foundations instead of spending time and energy on the physical body... This is understandable.
After all, for ordinary immortal cultivators, practicing Qi is the real path to immortality."
"Before, I was thinking of stealing a body fragment and studying it...but now I have a new goal!"
Jiang Ming stared at the book in his hand, which recorded a strange man who suddenly appeared on a riverside dock hundreds of miles away from the small mountain village where the corpse appeared in recent years.
He is thin and not very energetic, but he is surprisingly strong. He can carry several bags of grain and works at the dock to make money, but he is very low-key on weekdays and rarely comes into contact with others...
"The time of appearance coincides with the time when the corpse appeared, but it was just over half a month later..."
At that time, Jiang Ming suspected that the appearance of the mutilated corpse was due to the fight between immortal cultivators in this world.
Later, the unknown force surveyed the mountain forest, and there were indeed traces of fighting and destruction, indicating that in addition to the dead body, there was another immortal cultivator who had escaped...
"I'm 80% certain that that weirdo is another immortal cultivator..."
Jiang Ming pondered. As for the many flaws revealed by the weirdo, such as his extraordinary strength, sudden appearance, coincidental timing, etc., Jiang Ming was not surprised.
In the eyes of ordinary people, immortals are omnipotent, but those cultivators are also mortals. After working hard all day long, their experience in traveling around the world may not be as good as that of ordinary warriors...
"Perhaps carrying a big bag in a low profile can be regarded as hiding his identity for that immortal cultivator!"
Jiang Ming smiled and said:
Looking forward to it more and more...
More than half a month later, the wandering caravan finally arrived at its destination.
Jingguo, Heyuan Prefecture.
This is a city built on the edge of a canal and prospered because of it.
"My lord, take your leave!"
The real leader of the caravan secretly handed over to Jiang Ming and led the caravan away.
The tentacles of the Nameless One have already penetrated into every corner of the Heyuan Mansion. The leader does not know who this adult is, he only knows that he is a high-level existence that he cannot touch...
Jiang Ming stood on a teahouse in the city, looking at the canal in the distance and the vaguely busy scene beside the river.
"There's no need to rush into contact first. Let's settle down here first..."
Jiang Ming said to himself that he still didn't know where the other party came from. If he rashly exposed his identity as an immortal cultivator, it would inevitably arouse vigilance and alertness, and it would be difficult to extract any effective information.
"At the very least, I must first practice the first sealing technique of the Forbidden Spirit Seal, which can seal all my spiritual energy, and then I can contact him..."
Jiang Ming's eyes were calm. There were still decades before Medicine King was born. He could slowly cultivate and lay out the plans... The most indispensable thing was time.
In the next few days, he used gold and silver to buy some houses and shops, hiding himself under layers of identities. With the help of the members of the Nameless One, he created a perfect fake identity...
96.
