Wei He looked at the child. Last time he saw him, he was just a kid who could only play with ants, but now he was much older.
He also looks a bit juvenile in appearance.
"Master, Mr. Wei." Yuan Bao bowed one by one with some restraint.
"Now that the plague has been temporarily stabilized by my prescription, it will not spread, but it may take some time to cure it. I invite you here to meet Yuan Bao, and at the same time..."
Jiuying took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it over.
"This is the cure for the plague that I wrote. Keep it. If you have the opportunity, try to promote it to as many people as possible."
Wei He took it.
"Why don't you sort it out yourself and spread it out so that you can gain fame."
"With you, the master of Wei Gate, why should I worry about this?" Jiuying smiled.
"Okay, I'll print your name on it later. Is there anything else you want to explain?" Wei He asked.
"There's nothing left to explain... My current wish is to keep Yuan Bao and my old friend's two children. We'll talk about the rest later." Jiu Ying said with emotion.
"..." Wei He looked at him and seemed to have a premonition of something.
At this time, Jiuying's energy and spirit were completely unlike that of a martial artist.
Like those outside who were suffering from the plague, he looked pale and was depleted of energy and blood.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiuying said with a smile, "I've given you the things and notes I left at the testing site. You can use them yourself. I probably won't be able to go back for a while. If it's Yuanbao If you have any questions to ask, if you are willing, please help answer them. If you are not willing, then forget it."
"Okay..." Wei He nodded.
"Well, I have nothing to say after we meet each other. In this life, I, Jiuying, have lived for several decades, which can be considered ups and downs, highs and lows. I have enjoyed what I should enjoy and experienced what I should experience. , I have experienced it all... I have no regrets..." Jiuying grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.
"Master..." Yuan Bao seemed to see something on the side, and he stepped forward and grabbed Jiu Ying's hand.
"Also...you have solved some of the topics you mentioned to me before, Silk Jin, and Whale Breath State. I found a clue for you."
"Oh?" Wei He perked up, but he didn't expect Jiuying to give him another surprise. "What clue?"
"I found out from ancient books that there was once a painter who painted a famous painting called "Bright Moon and Long Whale Picture", which contains two artistic conceptions of whale breathing and moon breathing. If you can find this painting, it should be the one before you The whale's breath state that we are looking for." Jiuying said a lot of words in one breath. At this time, his face turned slightly red, he lowered his head and coughed quietly.
"Whale Breathing Monthly Breath... Is there a picture of a long whale in the bright moon? I'll try to look for it." Wei He nodded, "You can rest first. This clue is very important to me. If it is verified to be true, I owe you a favor." .”
"Then I hope you succeed soon." Jiuying said with a smile.
"good."
Wei He immediately said no more, turned around and left.
Regarding the news about the Mingyue Whale Picture, he planned to mobilize the power of his followers and ask the Wang family to help them search together.
In addition, Wei He and everyone decided to join the Tai'an Army after discussing Wang Shaojun's proposal.
They didn't want to experience the experience of being surrounded and hunted down by the Chijing Army earlier. They didn't want to experience it again.
So this time everyone unanimously agreed to tie up with the Wang family and join the Tai'an Army camp. That is to say, the Zhou Mu Zhou Wei camp.

Boom...
Bursts of thunder rolled into the distance, and huge raindrops poured down, shrouding the entire Xuanjing City in a hazy mist.
A few swifts flew diagonally by, and occasionally warriors flashed by on the rooftops of the city.
In Enki Town, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, wearing black clothes with long sleeves and a long sword hanging from his waist, dressed as a scribe, was walking on the street with an expressionless face.
He held a black oil-paper umbrella in his hand, with snow-white willow leaves embroidered on the umbrella.
The willow leaves have never been as white as snow, but on this umbrella, they appear to be in perfect harmony with the temperament of the person in front of me.
The man walked forward on the left side of the street. Soon, he stopped in front of a shop with a sign saying "Autumn Breeze and Drizzle".
There are no decorations outside the door of this shop, but the door is half open. It is quiet inside, and the faint sounds of birds and people can be heard.
In Xuanjing City, there are many private clubs like this that are not taverns or tea shops.
But in the drizzle of autumn, this is a rather special family.
Because not only tea and refreshments are provided here, but also some books
Although they are just some simple enlightenment books or miscellaneous travel notes, they have also attracted many idle people to come and read them.
After all, books are a luxury item in this era.
In the autumn breeze and drizzle, the middle-aged man closed his umbrella under the eaves in front of his door. When he looked down, he found that the soles of the cloth shoes on his feet were full of mud.
He sighed, put the umbrella into a bamboo basket and dripped water, rubbed his hands, stamped his feet, and walked into the shop.
There are about ten tables and chairs in the shop, and there are landscape painting screens between each table and chairs.
There were only a few guests, and most of the seats were occupied.
The man walked all the way to the end and slowly took a seat in front of an old woman in green clothes in a corner.
The old woman wore a black veil, was dressed smartly and concisely, wore a raincoat, and placed a faucet-headed crutch next to the seat.
"Long time no see." The old woman raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man coldly.
"Long time no see." The man nodded, with a hint of sadness on his dull face.
"It's been thirty years, right?" the old woman said.
"Thirty-two years." The man replied.
"I thought you wouldn't come back. But, haha... you are actually willing to come back. Seriously..." the old woman said with a sarcastic face.
"It's just a coincidence..." the man sighed, "I have long forgotten what happened in the past. Coming back this time is just my duty."
"Who can't even disobey you?" The old woman was slightly surprised.
"I can't say, I can't say, but now in Taizhou, Xunri is the main one, and Liu Ye is the supplementary one. With one light and one dark, we should be able to firmly control the state." The middle-aged man said calmly.
"...You have changed...Before, you were not so cruel..." the old woman said in a deep voice.
"That was before...and I'm not cruel." The man sighed. "I was just following orders, so if you come to me to beg for mercy, I can't do anything."
"Chi Jingjun, both sides of the Iron Clothes Army were your creations, right? By joining forces with Zong and Heng, they borrowed the power of those Jianghu people and just made some small promises to solve a serious problem. No wonder that person values you so highly.
...But now, you actually want to take action against your own family...Do you still remember your own name!?" the old woman said ironically.
"In today's world, if you want to gain something, you must first let it go. The past cannot be a constraint. The future is what I want." The man shook his head. "I have an unspeakable reason. Moreover, I am here,
It’s also because you are my family.”
"Is there any example of you taking action against your family?"
"Because we are family members, if others see that I am so strict with my family members and treat them equally without distinction, then if the strategy I implement falls on others, no one will have anything to say." The man said seriously.
"So you want to eliminate all the sects in Taizhou!?" The old woman suppressed her voice, couldn't help but stood up and pointed at the other party.
"All reforms in ancient and modern times have sacrificed without bloodshed." The man's face remained unchanged and he looked up at the other person. "Sister, do you know what I saw after I went out? Do you know that if we don't seek change, we will face the consequences in the future?
What?"
"I don't know, I only know that you are now a murderer and you have already lost yourself!" The old woman looked livid, stood up and walked away. "From now on, you are no longer my brother, nor a member of my Xie family.
!Farewell!"
The man sat in his original position, his waist still straight.
He didn't look at the old woman's back as she left, nor did he get up to chase her. He just picked up the tea and drank it in one sip.

"Follow the order of the state pastor. All small and medium-sized sects in the state will be eliminated within one year. All martial arts sects, aristocratic families, wealthy families, and boxing schools are not allowed to form parties or associations."
"Gather all the meat fields and fertile fields, gather all the people who practice martial arts, destroy those who do evil, and recruit those who do good. If there is resistance, kill without mercy!"
A messenger dressed in black and wearing a black gauze ribbon and a round crown unfolded a piece of cloth with a red seal in his hand and read loudly.
Opposite, a group of Wang family members, headed by Wang Zhihe, bowed to listen to the reading.
Wang Shaojun and Wei He were also among them, located in the middle and rear.
Those in front of them were all key officials of the second generation of the Wang family. For example, Wang Shaojun's father, Wang Yehe, was among them.
"Commander Wang, please receive the secret order." The messenger collected the cloth, held it in both hands, and sent it to Wang Zhihe at the front.
Wang Zhihe closed his eyes, then opened them again, sighed, and took the cloth with both hands.
"Wang Zhihe, take the order."
"Sir Zhou Wei has high hopes for General Wang. You must not let these two adults down." The envoy said with a smile.
"I understand." Wang Zhihe nodded solemnly.
But he was helpless. With Taizhou's popular martial arts practice, it was not easy to complete these things within one year.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. This matter is led by the two major organizations of Xunri and Liuye. You only need to deal with the side effects." The envoy smiled. "Those so-called Jianghu people who control the world are just lawless people.
It is also the expectation of all Taizhou people to completely eradicate the hidden dangers of violence. Don’t you think so?"
Wang Zhihe was speechless.
Behind him, Wang Shaojun and Wei He also looked at each other.
Soon, the messenger got into his car and left quickly.
The Wang family once again convened an internal meeting of the second generation clan members, while Wang Shaojun and Wei He returned to Duyuan alone.
After the maids served the fragrant tea, they all withdrew, leaving only the two of them sitting opposite each other.
"Okay now, there's no need to guess. The Chijing Army Wei He initially attacked the Tianyin Sect, why did the Lishan Sect get into trouble recently, and the Danyang Sect also started to have trouble before. I'm afraid these things are all meant by the above.
." Wang Shaojun said with a bitter smile.
Wei He remained silent. He was also glad in his heart. If he and Wang Shaojun had not had a good personal relationship, he might have been included in the purge this time.
But now, although Wanqingmen is not on the list, they still have to contribute to prove their position.
"Old Wei, I'm afraid I need you to help me this time." Wang Shaojun said in a deep voice.
"How do you say that?" Wei He said.
"This order was issued this time, and one of its purposes is to test the ability of each city's governor through this matter. Therefore, if our Wang family can complete this matter with our own strength, we will surely reach higher levels in the future." Wang Shaojun
