In fact, Wei Changtian didn't think too much about giving Liang Qin the Demon Spirit Pill.
Anyway, I have plenty of this stuff, and I won't be short of it in the future. Just give it away, it's no big deal.
However, although he didn't care, Liang Qin was so moved that he not only put the little emotion behind him in an instant, but even looked at Wei Changtian with a dazed look.
"Brother Changtian, I, I..."
With a blush on her handsome cheeks, Liang Qin took the Demon Spirit Pill, murmured for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and ran away.
"I'm going to practice swordsmanship!"
"..."
Wei Changtian touched his nose and let out a sigh of relief, while Ah Chun next to him asked with some confusion:
"Master, what happened to sister Qin'er?"
"It's spring."
"Spring?"
Ah Chun blinked his big black eyes, obviously not understanding the meaning: "What is Fa Chun?"
"Fa Chun just...asks so many questions about what to do!"
Wei Changtian stared.
"You should continue to practice!"
…
…
Two days later, a burst of dust quickly rushed from the end of the official road to a thousand-year-old city.
"Open the city gate quickly! The Commander-in-Chief is back!"
"Squeak!"
As the winch rotated slowly, the huge city gate, which was three feet high, opened little by little. Wei Changtian and his party finally arrived at the final stop of their journey - Shuzhou City, known as the "Southwest Town".
In order to ensure the stability of the border, all the capitals of the twelve states and counties on the Daning border were located on the border, and among them, Shuzhou City was the largest.
It is bordered by the mysterious Shiwanda Mountain to the south and Dali, a subsidiary state of Daning, to the west.
Over the tens of thousands of years since the city was founded, four dynasties have established their capitals here. At its peak, the population even exceeded that of Daning today.
Careful farming and iron horses, smooth weather and rampant monsters, Buddhism and Taoism, etiquette and barbarism... All kinds of seemingly contradictory elements merged and merged in this ancient city, eventually forming a unique and elegant yet tough and martial character.
Folk customs.
Here are the gentle Jiangnan women and celebrities who are famous in the literary world, as well as the Shu army who are good at conquering and fighting, and countless bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings.
Countless forces, both overt and covert, are entrenched here, maintaining a delicate and solid balance.
"Changtian, Shuzhou City is not bad!"
Standing on the horse, Liang Zhen smiled and asked Wei Changtian, who was riding a horse instead of a car, "Is it a completely different feeling from the capital city?"
"really."
Looking at the people on both sides of the road who were doing whatever they were doing and who didn't care about them, Wei Changtian nodded noncommittally: "It seems that the common people are more courageous."
"Indeed."
Liang Zhen explained: "Shuzhou City has a special location. It has to be wary of hundreds of thousands of monsters in the mountains, and it also has constant friction with the Li Zhen clan in Dali. Therefore, almost all big families have private soldiers, and many even have private soldiers."
More than a thousand people.”
"They don't pay much attention to the government. Over time, the people have become a little disdainful of the officials."
"Um."
Wei Changtian didn't care much about this, and even thought it was not a bad thing.
Now that he has left the capital, he has left the core scope of power of the Wei family.
Although I can no longer borrow the power of my family, it is still convenient to do some things that were difficult to do before.
"By the way, Uncle Liang, I'm here for the first time. Who do you think I should visit?"
"I have already thought about this for you, and I will discuss it with you in detail at dinner..."
"..."
While looking at the street scene in the city, while chatting with Liang Zhen, the group soon arrived at the General Military Mansion located in the north of the city.
The mansion is very grand. Except for the new door plaque with the word "Liang" engraved on it, the rest of the place has a sense of history. I don't know how many generals stationed on the frontier have lived in it.
In fact, Wei Xianzhi had already bought Wei Changtian a small courtyard in Shuzhou City in advance, but it was a bit late now, so Wei Changtian planned to sleep in Liang Mansion for one night before moving to his new home tomorrow.
There’s nothing to say about dinner. After all, everyone didn’t just eat and sleep in the open along the way. They were entertained with delicious food and drinks along the way, and they were never aggrieved. Therefore, there is no such feeling as “finally having a good meal”.
The climate in Shuzhou is dank and humid, and the food is very spicy. However, perhaps because he was afraid that Wei Changtian would not be accustomed to the climate, Liang Zhen still asked the cook to prepare Beijing cuisine.
The craftsmanship is good, and the taste is similar to what the Wei family cooks make.
Wei Changtian ate with gusto, while Yuan'er secretly wiped her tears while eating. It was obvious that she was moved by the scene and missed the people and things in the capital.
After dinner, it was already the beginning of Haishi.
After drinking tea and chatting with Liang Zhen for a while, Wei Changtian returned to the guest room to take a bath and go to bed early.
The servants of the Liang Mansion had already prepared the hot water, and Yuan'er was taking a ladle to add cold water to the wooden bucket to adjust the water temperature.
Seeing her sad face, Wei Changtian was just about to try his best to comfort her, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Mr. Wei, this is the letter sent by the post soldier just now, saying that it is sent to you from the capital."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, and reached out to take the letter. He saw the words "My husband has personally reviewed" written on the envelope.
Written by Lu Jingyao?
It is indeed her handwriting, but why did the letter come so quickly?
Did something happen?
Wei Changtian was confused and was about to tear open the envelope to find out what was going on, when a small face full of eagerness suddenly appeared next to him.
"Sir, who wrote you a letter? Is it Madam?"
"yes."
"Then what's in the letter?"
"I haven't seen it yet, how would I know?"
Wei Changtian couldn't help but shook off the letter and started reading from the beginning.
Although Yuan'er was illiterate, she was unwilling to leave, so she just waited aside. She didn't hurriedly ask until she saw Wei Changtian put down the letter with a calm look on his face:
"Sir, what did the lady say in the letter? Please tell me quickly!"
"I didn't say anything."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "Just asking if we have been to Shuzhou, she and Qiuyun are very concerned about us."
"The letter also said that they are living a good life in the capital and asked us to take care of ourselves... Oh, by the way, I also specifically asked you to take good care of me."
"Is it?"
Yuan'er had no doubts about these words, but she always felt that Wei Changtian was perfunctory with her.
Young Master obviously spent so long reading, why did he only end up with these two sentences?
She wanted to ask again, but before she could say anything, Wei Changtian ordered her to continue preparing bath water.
And just after Yuan'er pouted her little mouth and walked away, the smile on Wei Changtian's face disappeared in an instant, and he frowned and fell into thinking.
Lu Jingyao wrote down in the letter everything that happened that day in the Chunshen Bookstore.
Obviously, the "old friend" who never showed up is Xiao Feng.
But why did he go to see Lu Jingyao?
Not even willing to wait a few more days, even at the risk of being discovered?
It's like a terminally ill patient saying goodbye to his relatives and friends... Wait a minute!
bid farewell……
Wei Changtian's eyes flashed and he figured it out instantly.
His letter must have worked, Xiao Feng decided to come to Shuzhou in advance!
