Qingfeng Xu Xu

Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua actually didn't speak loudly, but the two people in front still heard bits and pieces. Xu Mulin was okay, but Xu Qingjiu was a little angry. Xu Mulin had to look at Xu Qingjiu and chuckled:"It's okay. It won't be a big deal when everything is settled at the inn. From what Ji Hua just said, he must have been in a very thrilling way. It's right to be cautious. He's not targeting us."

"Jihua naturally had nothing to say, but what did the other brat mean? He's just gesticulating here."Xu Qingjiu was still a little angry. When he heard Xu Mulin couldn't help but laugh at the side, Xu Qingjiu was even more unconvinced,"Why are you laughing at me, senior brother?"

Xu Mulin did not restrain his smile, but still looked at Xu Qingjiu funny and asked:"I see you two are about the same age, how come you said that Mr. Wu has become a young boy?

Xu Qingjiu refused to admit defeat and said:"Where?" It seems to me that I am older and more sensible than him."

Xu Mulin agreed:"What Qingjiu said makes sense."

After entering the city gate, there were all the spies along the way, but they only dared to follow them from a distance. Wu Jinghua guessed that none of his comrades outside the city had survived to report the news, so these people did not dare to move without permission. Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu were originally walking in front, but after entering the city they also noticed something was wrong, so they both slowed down and shortened the distance between them and Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua.

After the four of them returned to the inn safely, the innkeeper carefully stepped forward and closed the door, and then came closer. After Wu Jinghua said something in front of him, Wu Jinghua had a more relaxed look on his face.

When Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu left the inn earlier, many people were still living in the inn, and people were coming and going. This time, when they came back, there were It was much quieter, but Xu Mulin thought about the way his boss talked to Wu Jinghua in a low voice just now, and he thought it must be related to Wu Jinghua. Apart from feeling a little helpless and worried about getting involved in some trouble again, Xu Mulin didn't have much curiosity. , but based on Wu Jinghua’s expression just now, he probably concluded that there would be no danger for the time being.

After returning to the room, the four of them sat down, and it was inevitable that Li Jihua had something to hide for a while, and Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu chose to tell what happened in Guxia Villa first In addition to what Lu Xianyun had previously promised to conceal, he informed Li Jihua of everything, including the mystery of Li Haoyuan's death and the truth that the two later learned, Du Shengyang's stirring up trouble in Li Haoyuan's mourning hall, and Xie Chi's confession in Longyin Village. Although Li Jihua Being chased by Du Shengyang's people all the way, he had more or less guessed that the cause of his father's death would not be as simple as what was said in the world, but he was still very shocked when he heard the truth and the disaster Li Jichu faced alone. When Xu Mulin told Li Jichu about the speculation that he had been unable to find out about him, Li Jihua didn't know whether he felt more ashamed or more helpless. Li Jihua thought that he and his brother had not been separated for long, so how could his brother be so suspicious of him?

"Jihua, Ji Chu is not suspicious of you, he is just worried that you will not trust him. Du Shengyang threatened your life in front of your father's mourning hall, and everyone inside Guxia Village, including Shuzhou City, is talking about your father's death and your disappearance. There are all kinds of rumors, and the people he sent have never been able to find you. How could Ji Chu not think too much about it?"Years of estrangement and misunderstanding cannot be explained clearly by a few words of persuasion from others. Xu Qingjiu's persuasion failed, so Xu Mulin had to go into battle in person. He only hoped that Li Jihua could understand something.

"Regarding my mother's death, I didn't think that much, and nothing happened that day that made my father suspicious. The rift between me and my father was just because I felt that he had been too harsh on me for many years and never considered it. If I don’t know what I really want, every subsequent communication will end in an argument. I had heard about the tragic incident in Luoqiu Valley before, so I stayed there for a while. There was little information there, but after I learned about the incident in the village, I rushed to Shuzhou. I also heard some rumors along the way, but I won't believe it until I get the truth from my brother. But as soon as I came out of Weizhou, I was secretly followed by others. I was worried that they would chase and block me all the way to Shuzhou, so I took advantage of the chaos to get rid of a group of people in Qinzhou, and then I thought of taking a further detour and starting from there. Jiangnan circled back to Shuzhou. Everything was going smoothly at first. However, we accidentally bumped into Du Shengyang's lair. Instead, he was sent to his door. I dealt with them in Luzhou for several days and was seriously injured. Fortunately, Jing Hua preceded them. He found me in one step, but he had no choice but to face some troubles, so he had to take me back to Taiyuan first, thinking that he would make plans after I recovered from my injuries. I have sent several letters back before, but there was no response afterwards. Now that I think about it, it is probably because there is also an internal problem in Guxia Village."

"Too many coincidences have happened together, and no one can avoid it. Fortunately, you are fine now, and Jichu can rest assured."

"The two of you have worked hard along the way. Jihua thanks you both for your kindness. If there is anything Jihua can do in the future, Jihua will definitely do it. I sent another letter to my brother last night, but I don’t know if he can receive it this time."

"I will send him another message later, and I will also give him an overview of your situation along the way. After the Longyin Village incident, many things were revealed. At present, all kinds of spearheads are pointing at the Yuanyang Sect. I wonder if Ji Chu is... No, we have to deal with it"

"According to my guess, my brother will not do much at the moment. If the incident only concerns me, Guxia Village, my brother will definitely fight back. But now, the bustling group of people say they want to seek justice for others, but in fact they are all For the sake of selfishness, the Yuanyang Sect can no longer last long, and my brother will not distract himself from wading into those muddy waters under the current situation of Guxia Village."

Seeing that Li Jihua seemed to have something to say, the three of them waited in silence.

Li Jihua was silent for a while, sighed and said helplessly:"But there must be an understanding of my father's death, no matter it is my Guxia Village. I want to see with my own eyes whether the people came to execute Du Shengyang in person or let him be killed by random swords....Furthermore, Du Ling, the eldest son of the Yuanyang Sect, helped me save my life many years ago. I had heard that Du Shengyang was a sick man and raised his son as a tool for fame and fortune. I thought, the Yuanyang Sect There may be civil strife in the near future. I will not help him because of the internal struggle, but he, like my brother, has been weak since childhood. I just want to save his life and repay his kindness."

"What about Guxia Village?"

"At this moment, Guxia Manor should be the most down-to-earth and relaxing place. My brother will only choose to hide his power and bide his time. This is the Guxia Manor that his father wants. My brother will not follow others to tear down dangerous walls. Senior Brother Xu recently sent a letter to his elder brother, and there will be a reply within half a month at most. At that time, I will make a decision accordingly. I won't go to Luzhou for the time being. After all, Du Shengyang's whereabouts are secretive and no one knows about it at the moment. There won't be any results for a while."

"Then you don’t plan to go back to Guxia Village first? your father..."

"I can't leave Taiyuan just yet. Jinghua still has some matters that need to be resolved urgently. The day I arrived in Taiyuan, I asked someone to carve my father's memorial tablet, and I continue to worship my father every day to this day. Although my father rarely understood me in the past, I think he should be able to understand me this time."

"That being the case, now that your safety has been confirmed, we will stay here to rest for two days and then return to Tianzong."

"I'm sorry to be blunt, but Taiyuan is relatively stable now. Today, the two of you came to my rescue. It's not yet confirmed whether anyone will report these things. To ensure your safety, I would like to ask you to stay in Taiyuan for a few more days. But if you two have made up your mind, Jing Hua can't stop you."

"If you two have nothing else to deal with urgently, it is already the end of the year and your trip back to Meizhou will take a lot of time. You have been busy working on my affairs for more than two months, so you might as well rest in Taiyuan. It doesn’t hurt to wait for a while, or just wait in Taiyuan for the New Year before going back. Jihua has been away from home during the Chinese New Year for the past two years. If you two are willing, can you please spend the Chinese New Year together?"

"What do you think of Qingjiu?"

"I'm fine, I listen to my senior brother, but if I stay here, Master will be alone this year."Xu Qingjiu said this, but there was no sign of reluctance on his face at all, and he was quite proud.

Xu Mulin naturally understood Xu Qingjiu's wishes. In the past, when he was in Ziqingtang, Xu Qingjiu They all only get closer to themselves. Although there are a few people in Tianzong who like to joke with Xu Qingjiu, most of them are female disciples. Xu Qingjiu is neither used to nor likes them. Now that he has left Tianzong, it is rare to meet them. People of similar age talk and are congenial. Xu Mulin is also willing to let Xu Qingjiu make more friends.

"In this case, then Qingjiu and I will bother you for a little longer."

"Senior Brother Xu is so polite. The two of them went to great lengths to find me. Now that they finally see me, Jihua should just do something for his brother.Thanks. It's just that I may have to stay in the inn for a few days. After things are settled at home, I can invite you to come back. If you need anything in the meantime, just tell the boss."

"You also stay at the inn first, I will go back to confirm and then come back to you."

Hearing this, Li Jihua just turned to look at Wu Jinghua without saying a word. Wu Jinghua had no choice but to admit his mistake:"Okay, okay, it's up to you. I know you're better with a sword than me, so you won't look down on me so much, right?"

"Jihua, have you picked up the sword again now?"Although Wu Jinghua only meant to express that he understood that Li Jihua was worried about his own safety and would not let him go into danger alone, Xu Qingjiu seemed to be more concerned about the superficial meaning.

"Yes, things that are engraved in the bones and blood cannot be completely given up throughout life. I used to be stubborn about studying medicine, so I fell behind a little, but now I don’t feel unfamiliar when I pick it up."

"Brother Jichu told us that Jihua is very talented. Brother Jichu will be very happy when he finds out about it."Xu Qingjiu couldn't hide his excitement. He turned to Xu Mulin and said,"Senior brother, remember to include this incident when writing a letter."

"good."Xu Mulin said with a smile. If the two of them stay for a few days and then leave, there is nothing wrong with not asking more, but now that the two of them have agreed to stay, they can't ignore it. Xu Mulin turned around and looked at Wu Jinghua again. He asked Li Jihua:"Is there any trouble? If there's anything we can do to help, Jihua, don't be polite. only..."Xu Mulin turned to look at Wu Jinghua again, and continued:"I heard a lot about the high balcony along the way. Qingjiu and I don't want to get involved in the internal disputes of other factions, but it seems to be related to Jihua. Just now, Mr. Wu He also said that maybe this matter is also related to me and Qingjiu. As long as the reputation of Tianzong is not involved, Qingjiu and I will try our best to help each other."

"Now that the two of you are more or less aware of it, Jing Hua won't explain much here. However, apart from clearing away the weeds in Taiyuan City, the two of them won't be involved too much inside the high balcony. Feel free to rest assured. And there are still people around me who can be used for the time being, but I'm worried that there will be times when Jihua's safety is not taken into consideration. If you two are willing to help, Jinghua will be grateful."

After a long conversation, the four of them all put down their guard. Except for Xu Qingjiu, who was still a little worried about Wu Jinghua's rudeness earlier, but Xu Mulin looked at it and felt that Wu Jinghua and Xu Qingjiu had similar personalities and age. They are also similar. It is estimated that they will become good friends in the future. At this time, Xu Mulin just got the opportunity and intervened:"Young Master Wu, you are too polite. My junior brother has always been enthusiastic towards others. It is his duty to deal with such things. It's just that as Xu, Disciple of Tianzong, that’s why I think more about it. I also ask Mr. Wu not to take it to heart."

"Senior Brother Xu said something harsh. I was too cautious to offend myself before. Please forgive me, Senior Brother Xu."

"It's a good thing to be cautious, otherwise you won't be able to protect Jihua Zhouquan all the way"

"It made my senior brother laugh. Speaking of which, Jing Hua had to apologize to his senior brother. After listening to his senior brother talk about what happened along the way, Jing Hua realized that because he was worried about the people who were chasing Ji Hua, he tried his best to hide Ji Hua's identity. Whereabouts, if not for this, the two of them would not have worked so hard to find Jihua, and they would have taken many long detours. It is really Jinghua's fault."

"If this was the case, there would be no fault. Jing Hua acted prudently and carefully, so how could he be blamed? When Qingjiu and I analyzed these things before, we felt that Jinghua should be a person with unique ideas, and we thought that we would be very compatible with Qingjiu in the future."Xu Mulin tried his best to calm down, but Xu Qingjiu never answered. Instead, his face became more displeased. Xu Mulin didn't know what else to say. Besides, Xu Mulin was really not a good at people. People who interacted with him had no other skills except being as humble and gentle as possible. He could no longer speak politely from the side, so he had to speak directly, hoping that someone would understand what he meant. Obviously,

Li Jihua, who had been sitting next to him for a long time, understood. It's just that Li Jihua understood Wu Jinghua's character better, and he just silently hoped in his heart that Wu Jinghua wouldn't say anything excessive. The result was that it wasn't excessive, but it wasn't really good either.
