On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qin Shan and his party escaped from the town controlled by Ba Dao Tang and Xiao Yi.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, several people lived in a secret residence left by Qi Ruowang before his death to recuperate.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, news came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill and had no children, so Prince Feng would temporarily supervise the country, and the left minister would assist him.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, outside the pass, the Xiqiang people captured three border cities in a row, and the border pass was expedited.
Just when the King of Xiqiang received the good news one after another, the servant brought him the news of his heart.
"Oh, those people in Wuminggu said they wanted to congratulate me on my birthday?" The West Qiang King was in a good mood, laughing and saying, "When did they know that they were coming to please this king?"
"Your Majesty's heroism is extraordinary, and under the leadership of your Majesty, Xi Qiang will soon dominate the world. If these people from the Central Plains wink, they will know who they should pledge their allegiance to."
The next person flattered.
"Really?" The King of Xiqiang said lightly: "But they didn't seem to think that way before. This king remembers that another Wuminggu disciple bumped into my son, which shocked my son."
Seeing the displeased expression on the king's face, the servant quickly said: "The Han people say that those who know the current affairs of the world are the best, and they are all the time. Now that they don't have General Greige as their backer, the Great Qi Dynasty has also fallen to the west, and will die in a few days. Of course they understand that they want to please the king to make up for their previous mistakes."
The King of Western Qiang asked, "What gifts did these martial arts people prepare?"
"I heard that the disciples want to let the disciples help Wang Wujian." The servant said, "Wuminggu is also a famous sect in the Central Plains. If they perform martial arts, they must be worth seeing. Moreover, Wang can also use this to humiliate. Some Central Plains people, if they want to come to their famous martial arts, they can only do odd jobs for Wang, and these Central Plains people will have a dull face."
"Hahahaha, good! You still know how to talk. I'll leave it to you to arrange it. The birthday of this king in January will be done in a hurry!"
"Yes-"
He bowed down and stepped back. After leaving the king's tent, he turned to an unoccupied corner and said to the people who had been waiting there, "Everything has been arranged for you, but it took me a lot of effort."
The man took it easy and handed him a small bag.
The next servant weighed the weight and said with satisfaction: "Wang is in a good mood, so I gave you this opportunity, but you should cherish it. If there is another accident, it will not be as simple as throwing it into the river last time."
He finally glanced at the man with an arrogant look, and walked away with his hands in hand.
The person standing there silently looked at his back and tightened his fingers secretly.
…
The fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.
It was rare for so many people to gather together, and Aunt Chun decided to take care of it, so she started to work from early in the morning. Qingtian and Mingyue were both attacked by him, and Qin Shan also came up to help, but was chased out by Aunt Chun.
"Oh, how can you do these jobs, you just need to wait and eat."
Aunt Chun boldly drove the whole group out of the kitchen, leaving them alone to prepare.
Qin Shan: "Is she still mad at me?"
After the last incident, Aunt Chun seemed to have changed a lot when she saw him in the past few days. She no longer treats Qin Shan as respectfully as she used to, and rarely calls him Master. On the contrary, if Qin Shan does anything that doesn't suit her wishes, she will be criticized by Aunt Chun. For example, I don't know how to change the clothes I've been wearing for a few days, and I can't eat only meat and vegetables for lunch. These things that were never noticed in the past are now being nagged by Aunt Chun.
Yan Xiaobei listened and said with a smile: "That's not it. When I did something wrong in the valley, I would always be punished by the master. The master said that he would punish me only if he loved me, that's because he was looking forward to me. Alright. Aunt Chun must be treating you as a son, Brother Shan."
Qin Shan, who had never had a mother since he was a child, was always occupied by his master even when he had a wife, and it was the first time that Qin Shan experienced this kind of complicated feeling.
He looked at Yan Xiaobei, "Since you remember all these things, what do you remember?"
In the past few days, he felt more and more that Yan Xiaobei was different, and began to wonder if he remembered something from the past.
"Remember what?" Yan Xiaobei blinked, "Brother Shan and I went out to play, I'll tell you!"
Seeing his child's disposition, Qin Shan couldn't help laughing at himself for being suspicious.
"Go, go!"
He looked at Yan Xiaobei looking at him pitifully, with a look of anticipation and vague fear of being rejected, Qin Shan couldn't help but smile. It was something he didn't even notice himself, with a hint of indulgence and pampering smile.
He said, "Okay."
And just after Qin Shan and Yan Mobei went out for a walk, the few people who had nothing to do in the house, except for Pu Cunxi, who was still treating Tibetan wind, also went out for a walk in order to live up to the good spring.
As the leader of a sect and Qin Shan's junior brother, Liu Han has not been so relaxed for a long time.
He walked with the people beside him in the plum forest by the river, watching the layers of plum blossoms that were just blooming, blooming, and budding, he couldn't help but sighed: "When Master was still around, my brother and I only needed to finish master's arrangement. I often go out to play. I remember that at that time, when I was still young, sometimes I would be detained if I couldn’t complete Master’s tasks, so I could only watch my brother go out to play alone, and I cried anxiously.”
Walking in the plum forest, he said without anger: "I think when I first entered Buddhism, I used to sweep the dead branches and leaves of the plum forest every day, and there was such a period of time."
Liu Han continued: "At that time, when the master was still there, there was someone covering my head, and I was lawless. If it wasn't for my senior brother who was in charge of me, I would have become a demon king of chaos."
Wu Nu said: "When I first entered the temple, Master once said that my character was not suitable for practicing Buddhism, and wanted to refuse to accept me, but the people who brought me pleaded in every way, and I knelt in front of Master's door for three days and three more days. At night, Master changed his words."
Liu Han smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I didn't become the devil king, but became the leader of the devil sect."
Wu Wu said: "Master said that I can be accepted, but I can't enter the world again in this life. If I violate my oath, I will be condemned by the Buddha. He also said that cultivating ordinary Buddhism with my character will only lead to demons, and I can only cultivate Angry-eyed King Kong. one."
He sighed and said, "Master knew at that time that there was resentment in my heart."
Liu Han said: "What are those, whether it is the devil king, the leader of the devil sect, or the resentment of others, just let it come. If you can bear it, you can bear it, if you can't bear it, you will die!"
Wu Wu: "Amitabha, let's not talk about these past events."
Liu Han: "Alright, let's not talk about the past, just talk about today. Speaking of which, today is the Lantern Festival. I remembered that my wife made a sesame-filled Lantern Festival for us. I don't like sweets, so I always secretly give it to my senior brother."
Wu Nu: "Yuanxiao? In the past, when my mother was still there, she would always give me Yuanxiao to eat. In fact, she is not good at cooking, but she has to worry about me so much."
"Your mother?"
"She has passed away."
Merlin was full of flowers, blocking his sight. The figure walks under the tree under the flower, and suddenly enters a fairyland.
"When I opened my eyes that day, I saw her lying in front of me, no longer breathing." Liu Han said.
"By whom?" the person beside him couldn't help asking.
Liu Han pushed away a branch, stepped forward, and said the answer coldly. At the same time, another voice also entered his ears.
Liu Han: "My father."
No anger: "My father."
After saying that, the two looked up and were stunned. They didn't expect to meet each other in this Merlin.
"Master?!" Xiao Yingran, who was standing behind Wu Nu, said in surprise, "Are you guys taking a walk here too?"
Bai Mei Ke looked at Wu Wu and his eldest disciple who appeared together, and nodded slightly: "I think the sun is just right today, so Han'er can come out for a walk. I haven't seen him for many years, so I just took this opportunity to discuss it in detail. "
"Little bald donkey."
Liu Han raised his eyebrows, "Are you here eavesdropping on us?"
Wu Wu said lightly: "The donor's words are bad. If you don't hear me, how do you know that I will hear you. If you say eavesdropping, just be with each other."
Xiao Yingran saw that they were about to quarrel after a few words, so he quickly smoothed things out: "Okay, okay, this village is so big, and it's normal to meet by chance. Master Liu, don't be angry, the two of you don't have to argue. it is good?"
Liu Han glanced at Xiao Yingran, but did not cause trouble again.
Seeing this without anger, he said, "There is no conflict, so why do you insist?"
Liu Leng smiled coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Xiao Yingran and Bai Mei Ke smiled bitterly and followed them away.
After they left, Merlin was silent, only the sound of the wind blowing and flowers falling.
After a long while, a voice came from a distance in the dense plum forest.
"Brother Shan, have you heard?"
"… Um."
"Then do we count as eavesdropping?"
Qin Shan was silent for a moment, and said, "We arrived before them, and we didn't have any intentions. It doesn't count."
"I said so too." Yan Xiaobei smiled brightly, "Since they wanted to say it out, it happened that they were overheard by us, so we don't count as eavesdropping."
He said and jumped down from the tree.
"Oh, I'm hungry, go back to eat the Lantern Festival made by Aunt Chun!"
Qin Shan looked at his figure running away happily, and recalled the words he heard just now in his ears.
[If it weren't for the presence of senior brother, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the devil's way long ago.] He sighed quietly in his heart, turned down the tree, and followed behind Yan Mobei.
Seeing him, Yan Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Brother Shan! Come and chase me, chase me!"
Qin Shan: "…"
When you catch up to this stinky boy, you will definitely have to spank him hard.
In the afternoon, when a few people got tired of playing and returned to the courtyard, Aunt Chun brought out the hot Lantern Festival and brought them to them one by one. Just as everyone was eating in full swing, an old man with messy hair ran out of the house.
"Wake up, wake up! He wakes up!"
"Who's awake?"
"Zangfeng, he woke up."
