"Come on, slow down, slow down, don't worry, you have been lying down for so many days and your feet are still injured. They must not be as flexible as normal people..."
Xue Shangxiang was finally able to get out of bed.
This is a gratifying thing.
Xue Qingqing can resist not seeing her daughter. This endurance is really admirable. She also does this for Xue Shangxiang's sake.
Once Yaowang Valley knows that Xue Shangxiang is with Luo Xing, I am afraid that Sun Donglin will bring someone to pick him up immediately.
Conflict is bound to break out by then.
It is much better for Xue Shangxiang to recuperate at Luo Xing's house than at Baicao Pavilion. At least he doesn't have to face that group of hypocritical people, have to act for them, or even be manipulated by them.
Xue Qingqing also wants her daughter to leave Yaowang Valley. However, this does not mean that she can escape by leaving, but she has to go to Meng Yi every other day.
Firstly, he wanted to know about his daughter's current situation, and secondly, he was acting with Mengyi, nominally forcing Mengyi to find someone.
In this way, Sun Donglin did not suspect that there was anything fishy going on. Xue Qingqing's actions were completely in line with what a mother would do.
When her daughter disappeared, she went to find her biological father and asked him to help find someone. There is nothing suspicious about this.
However, the relationship between Meng Yi and Xue Shangxiang was inevitably completely exposed.
Everyone in Nanya knew about it.
Mengyi, the secret clerk of Nanya, actually had an affair with Xue Qingqing, the daughter of the Xue family in Yaowang Valley. The love affair ended with Xue Qingqing returning to the Yaowang Valley saint. Eighteen years later, this daughter actually became the contemporary saint of Yaowang Valley.
female.
Meng Yi was originally Nanya's genius, so his daughter naturally inherited her father's excellent genes. In the election of the Yaowang Valley Saint, she defeated all other women and became the Yaowang Valley Saint. This is not surprising at all.
There is even a version that has been circulated, that is, the Xue family of Yaowanggu fell in love with Meng Yi and deliberately sent their legitimate daughter Xue Qingqing to seduce Meng Yi on their own initiative for the purpose of "borrowing seeds."
This medicine king Gu Xue's family has a secret technique of "giving birth to a child". Otherwise, among the eight ladies in Mengyi's family, only this woman with no status would give birth to a daughter?
This rumor is actually half true and half false. Xue Qingqing fell in love with Meng Yi at the time, but he also knew that Meng Yi could not follow her into the Yaowang Valley. However, this "borrowed seed" was not wrong. Xue Qingqing gave Meng Yi
It was easy to take medicine, and then the spring breeze came. She was a doctor, and there was indeed something in the family tradition. It was not spread to outsiders, and it was indeed calculated according to time. After returning to Yaowang Valley, she became pregnant and gave birth to Xue Shangxiang.
Xue Qingqing has never mentioned this matter to anyone, but things in the world are like this. Rumors can sometimes lead to some truths, leaving her unable to refute them.
Xue Shangxiang's foot was actually injured and the bones were cracked, but compared to the injury caused by the "Heart-Eroding Palm" in his heart, it could only be regarded as a minor injury.
The Xue family's ancestral bone-setting skills have their own methods for treating bone injuries, and their special ointment is particularly effective in healing broken bones.
Of course, this prescription is confidential.
There is also the "Bone-setting Pill", a wound medicine refined by others, which is one of the necessary pills for warriors to travel around the world.
Black ointment combined with bone-setting pills can help people get out of bed after a broken leg in seven days. Such a miraculous effect subverts Luo Xing's basic understanding of "a hundred days of broken bones and tendons".
Of course, being able to get out of bed does not mean complete recovery. If it is a broken bone, it will take at least a month.
But even so, it was much faster than he imagined.
"Xiao Qi, I received news from Nanya Jinzhou Jing'an Branch that His Highness and Qingyi have arrived safely, but they only rested for one night in Jinzhou City before purchasing some supplies and heading north.
, beyond Yanmen Pass in the north is the wasteland. A group of barbarians mainly live in the wasteland, but they are different from Xirong. They are uncivilized. The tribe is headed by priests and make a living by hunting and herding, but they are more primitive." Meng Yi explained, "
After the demise of the previous dynasty, some people fled into the Northern Wilderness, and it is said that a kingdom was established in the bitter cold land of the far north, but the tomb of Taoist Chi should not be in the Northern Wilderness, but should still be within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Master, is there any news about the fourth prince?"
"No, the fourth prince entered Jin from Jingyang Road. Qingyi and the others also followed this route. Maybe they found some clues, but there is no news about this from the Jinzhou branch." Meng Yi said.
"Qingyi has never been to such a distant place when he has grown up, right?"
"Well, Qingyi has always been near Luojing. Even when handling cases, the farthest is Shuozhou, Lingzhou and other neighboring states. Jinzhou is on the northern border, so the environment there is naturally incomparable. You can't
Don't worry too much, Su Manqing has rich experience and is a first-grade grandmaster, so he won't be in too much danger."
"According to legend, there are nine tombs of Taoist Chi, eight are fake and one is real. Five fake tombs have been discovered. After the Tiannanhaibeidu, this time the tomb of Taoist Chi is revealed, I'm afraid it may not be true." Luo Xing
said.
"It's really hard to say, but for the fourth prince, the skills he practices are closely related to Taoist Chi. If he can't find the follow-up skills, he will face serious problems." Meng Yi said.
"No wonder the Fourth Prince, a smart person like him, would easily believe other people's words and be deceived."
"Actually, the fourth prince may not have been deceived. In fact, there is a group of people in the martial arts world who have been looking for the tomb of the real Taoist Chi. However, to open the tomb requires people who practice Chi's Kiss. Therefore, I think that the fourth prince
He is pretending that there is a high possibility of being kidnapped," Meng Yi said.
"He pretended to be kidnapped. Anyway, he wanted to find the tomb of Taoist Chi and get the follow-up skills. This is very similar to the fourth prince's style." Luo Xing nodded.
"According to ancient legend, Taoist Chi was a treasure-loving man. He ruled the world for more than three hundred years and accumulated a huge amount of wealth. All of this wealth disappeared after his death. There is only one possibility, that is, he himself took it into the tomb. Someone
A large amount of treasures were found in the fake Taoist Chi's tomb, and he suddenly became rich. Therefore, there has always been such a Jianghu organization, whose name is Chi Kiss, which is named after the Taoist Chi's technique. It specializes in searching for Taoist Chi's tomb and digging for treasures."
"Is this a tomb robbing organization?" Luo Xing asked.
"That's right, this is a tomb-robbing organization composed of a group of local masters. The leader is now the thirteenth generation. Everyone in this organization is a master of fighting in graves. Their methods are weird. It is said that most of them practice
The members of the spiritual path, as well as the masters of poison, are very mysterious, and generally only the leaders of the big tombs will summon them."
"Then do they dare to steal the imperial tomb?"
"I don't dare to do it in this dynasty, but I don't know about the previous dynasty. However, there are actually not many treasures buried with the imperial mausoleum. Most emperors leave their wealth and resources to the next emperor. Moreover, the risk of stealing the imperial mausoleum is too great, so it is better to go
Stealing the tombs of some rich people!" Meng Yi explained, "Especially the tombs of famous martial arts figures, there are many good things hidden in them."
"Then the Chi Kissing Technique obtained by the fourth prince should be considered to have been planned by these people long ago?"
"Xiao Qi, you really know everything. Yes, it is very difficult to find people suitable for practicing Chi Kiss, so you have to cast a wide net. Many sects have this technique, but unless they have no choice, most people are
I won’t choose.”
"The fourth prince is one of the nobles of Tianhuang. If he wants to practice martial arts, how come he lacks martial arts skills?" Luo Xing expressed confusion.
"Although the fourth prince was of noble birth, his mother was just an ordinary palace maid. After he was born, his treatment was much worse than that of other princes. In addition, he was born obese and was not liked by His Majesty. So, you understand, the Tian family is ruthless
, but it is strange that the fourth prince actually chose the Chi Kiss technique when he was studying in Zhenwu Academy. No one gave him any guidance. This technique seemed to fit him well. He improved quickly in practice. He was not a suppressor.
I'm afraid there will be problems long ago due to my cultivation." Meng Yi said.
"What's going on with the people who need to practice Chi Kiss to open the tomb of Taoist Chi?"
"This is an undisclosed secret. Only those within their ranks know it." Meng Yi shook his head and said.
"Master, I want all the information related to Taoist Chi and Chi Kiss."
"This is not a big problem. Come to the secret booth tomorrow and I will have someone prepare it for you." Meng Yi nodded.
Luo Xing was a little worried about Qingyi and Ye Liuli. Neither of them were professional reverse fighters. After going to the tomb, in addition to paying attention to the tomb owner's mechanisms, he also had to be wary of the "Chi Kiss" people. These people were engaged in this business. Then
Designated to be a cunning and cruel person.
Even if she has the experienced Su Manqing to take care of her, she is alone, so she will naturally prefer Ye Liuli...
If he hadn't been unable to go due to official duties, he would have wanted to go with him.
Back and forth, several days passed.
Luo Xing's life was quite peaceful and fulfilling, but the rumors about him became more and more intense.
There are many versions about the origin of his medical skills.
Luo Xing ignored it.
Rumors, the more you explain them, the more people will think it's okay. As long as you don't respond and the heat goes down, naturally nothing will happen.
Unless someone is behind it and wants to mess with you.
In this regard, having worked in intelligence for half his life, he is very sensitive to news. These rumors were deliberately set up by someone behind the scenes to connect him with Yaowang Valley.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Meng Yi had also made relevant preparations for the source of his "medical skills", such as adding an experience to his file.
As long as the opponent checks his own file, he will know that someone is interested in him.
However, there was no movement at Nan Ya's side, and the calmness was a bit unsettling. This uneasy sixth sense made Luo Xing feel that something was about to happen.
Duan Tieniu's journey into Nanya was not smooth. Although his conditions met the special recruitment standards, there was no department in Nanya willing to accept him.
After all, this is to add a captain, which will consume one of the number of captains in the department. The person here is not promoted from his subordinates, can he control it?
There must be someone willing to accept the special recruitment.
In fact, Nanya is short of personnel. It just wants to select from within itself and does not want to directly appoint officials at the level of captain from the outside.
What's more, Duan Tieniu came out because he was ostracized in Zhenwuyuan and wanted to enter Nanya.
With Ye Liuli and Qingyi away, it would be more troublesome for Luo Xing to arrange for Duan Tieniu. In the end, having no other choice, Luo Xing went directly to the retired Wuning Marquis Ye Hongyi.
Ye Hongyi is Qingyi's master, and now he has an additional identity, that is, he is the adoptive father. Ye Hongyi will naturally welcome his potential son-in-law to visit.
Weng's son-in-law was talking in the study. Ye Hongyi's retired life was still good. After all, he had worked hard for the court for so many years and he was from the royal family. No matter how stingy Emperor Yongxi was, he could not chill the hearts of his own family.
Luo Xing directly explained his intention.
Although Ye Hongyi was a little unhappy when he learned that he was not here to see him, he was not a stingy person either.
Thinking about the problem from Luo Xing's perspective, he and Luo Xing had only known each other for a few days. If it hadn't been for Qingyi's willingness, the two of them would probably never have crossed paths in this life.
Who would think of taking the initiative to see me as a retired, idle old man who has no feelings to begin with?
It would be great if you can come.
What's more, he also knows that Luo Xing may not need him in Nanya now. If he comes to ask for help, doesn't it mean that he is giving favors to himself?
Although it is said that people leave after the tea is cool, after all, he has been in charge of Nan Ya for thirty years. A second-grade Wu Zong was specially recruited into Nan Ya. The conditions were suitable in all aspects and did not violate any regulations of Nan Ya. It was just a matter of one sentence.
Of course, Ye Hongyi also saw that Luo Xing wanted Duan Tieniu to join the Special Investigation Division, so that he would have more power in the Special Investigation Division.
This is a good thing.
The farther Luo Xing goes in Nanya, the better Qingyi's future will be, and he will be able to take care of his incompetent descendants.
