February passed quickly after the fall of Luoyang, and before the beginning of spring, Xie Yingyi and his party finally returned.

The Taifu's Mansion once again gathered to welcome them. This time they were safe and had to complete their mission and return. Chen Baiqi and Mu Xiu didn't go anywhere today. He was waiting for them at the mansion, while Xie Yingyi and the others were waiting for Feng Chen.

The servant walked to the front of the house and saw that it was clean and the door was open. Chen Baiqi, Chen's father and Si Jiang were standing there. When they greeted each other with smiles, they were stunned for a moment, and they all walked quickly in surprise.

Rush forward.

This time the servants in the mansion were not as dull and idle as the last time Chen Baiqi returned home. After some training from Wuma Chongyu, they quickly gave them hot handkerchiefs to wipe their dusty and tired faces, and they also brought tea and cakes to satisfy their hunger.

As soon as they took off their dirty clothes and cloaks, they stepped forward to take them. Their diligent and smart looks were completely different from the lazy and confused look before.

The returning Wu clan members received such a warm welcome from the Holy Lord. All the complaints and grievances that they had earlier disappeared in an instant. Their hearts were full of ironing, and they rushed past Xie Yingyi and rushed to Chen Baiqi with their hearts in their hearts.

All the faces smiled brightly at her.

"Master!"

She shouted with full enthusiasm, and a dozen people circled around her. The young man was so angry that it seemed that even the ice bars hanging on the eaves and the accumulated ice and snow on the street could melt.

They cannot call the Holy Lord directly outside the country, but must imitate other people in the Qin State to call them by official titles.

These children were sent to her by their respective families when they were teenagers. She watched them grow up all the way, and they accompanied her all the way. Chen Baiqi treated them just like his own naughty children, beating and scolding them, but even more protective of them.

have to.

Knowing that they had suffered blows and setbacks at the Yin Yang Sect during this trip, she praised them emphatically, claiming that the young men were promising and acted without haste or haste. However, her praise made them feel ashamed and they all felt that they had received it.

ashamed.

Behind closed doors, they are like frogs in the well. They used to follow the Holy Lord and always felt that they were perfect, aloof and proud, and did not ask for anything from others. However, when they left the Holy Lord's wisdom and saw those people outside, they realized

to your own shortcomings and weaknesses.

Chen Baiqi just wanted them to be able to make mistakes like all the young people in the world and gain wisdom. Today's losses may not be lost in the future.

"I know everything that happened. You don't lack strength, you just lack character and experience. But you did a good job this time. I thought that without my supervision, when I met Zhao Jun, I would be impulsive and ignore dissuasion.

But I heard a letter from Ying Yi saying that you have followed orders all the way, and you have only contributed to the rescue without any fault. No matter how unwilling you were, you have been patient and did not disobey, but you have devoted yourself to the escort and tried your best."

Speaking of this, she sighed with the gratification of an old father: "If you can achieve this step, it is progress and growth. This is what I want."

Listening to what the Holy Lord said to them, the direct descendants felt their ears burning, they were happy and moved, and they even felt inspired. Things that they thought were embarrassing at first became shining points once the Holy Lord reinterpreted them.

Long Yue burst into tears and blurted out: "Holy Lord, you are so kind. I have decided not to receive the ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry as a reward for completing the mission this time, because your words are the best reward for our mission!"

Zi Jin smiled shyly and responded politely: "Yes, I don't want twenty boxes of famous paintings and calligraphy."

Feiniao held one of Long Yue's arms and stretched her head, saying in a coquettish voice: "They don't want it, and neither do I."

Nan Nan looked at them, feeling tangled in her heart, but still said: "Well, then I don't want the house title deed and hundreds of servants."

"If you don't want it, don't want it. It won't be a pity even if I lose my golden chain armor for this!" Su Baichuan said generously with a pained expression on his face.

others:"……"

Chen Baiqi's smile remained unchanged after hearing this, and he watched "gently" as they told them one by one about the "sky-high price rewards" he originally planned to ask her for after completing the mission.

It turns out that they still have such wild ambitions in private.

Ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry?

Famous calligraphy and painting?

Golden chain armor?

Haha, who will give it to me?

Fortunately, they woke up in time and did not raise such unreasonable thoughts, otherwise this heartwarming scene of "a loving father and a filial son" might have turned very violent.

Don't say that she doesn't have such a huge family fortune to squander it. Even if she did, she wouldn't give it to these prodigal people who don't know how much money they have to live in!

Xie Yingyi smiled reluctantly when he saw them playing around, but there was a lingering sadness in his eyes.

After comforting the younger one, it was the older one's turn.

Chen Baiqi dismissed his direct descendants, turned to look at Xie Yingyi, and said: "Yingyi, you don't have to feel that you are at fault. This is your first time leading a team alone. It is human nature to have deviations and mistakes. It is better to be too harsh on yourself.

Self-monitoring and progress, as long as I am here, I will hold you back even if you break the bank."

The direct lineage murmured beside him, this time he almost stabbed the sky. It was not Young Master Xie who stabbed him, but the lawless King Nan Zhao.

Xie Yingyi actually understands this truth, but he is not so easy to let go of his disappointment: "Ari, I will never make the same mistake next time."

"Of course I believe you can do it." She affirmed him. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly heard a slightly excited and gentle male voice coming from the wind.

"...Bai Qi."

Chen Baiqi was startled, and suddenly looked behind the group of people standing in front of her, and saw that the queen of Wu Changting had just placed the things on the carriage and was walking over. At the same time, there was another person following him.

But Chen Baiqi's attention was not on Wu Changting, but on the person beside him. Before he spoke, he smiled and shouted: "Brother Ji."

When Xie Yingyi and his direct descendants saw the Holy Lord, their eyes turned away. They didn't care about their existence at all, but walked quickly towards the young man. The wind blew her clothes and her trains, and she just left without looking back.

.

Gan!

Suddenly there is a sense of crisis that a male creature is coming to compete with them for favor!

The difference is that last time it was brought back by the Holy Lord himself, but this time it was brought back by them!

Ji Yun stretched out her hand and lifted up her brimmed hat. He was facing the snow-white scene with the fading red and green, and smiled in her direction. The smile did not ask about the past, nor seek comfort, but it was already a pure and tender time.

years.

He thought that after this year, he would never see her again. He once thought that his wish was like a firework, even if it was so lonely, it would dissipate in a brilliant way.

But she insisted that Qingshan would not let go and wanted him to return the jade intact to Qin and to her.

He could not resist her "God's will" in the end.

The two stood together like a pair of beauties, looking at each other and smiling.

"Is everything arranged?" she asked.

"Well, it's all arranged."

"Then you won't leave this time?"

"Well, I'm not leaving."

Whatever she asked, he answered everything and obeyed her.

"Brother-in-law, after all these years, you still only have Bai Qi in your eyes. Can you see that we are also looking at him with lust?"

Ji Yun turned his head at the pleasant voice that was teasing and inappropriate. He saw Si Jiang slowly walking over, raising her moderately thick red lips and smiling at him in a demonic manner, but what shone in her eyes was pure happiness.

Ji Yun was also happy to see him and called him: "San'er."

"Don't call her by that name!" Ji Yun glared, and Ying's little face suddenly became angry.

Who are these people? They are still so sinister and stingy. Are they going to hurt each other just because they called each other "brother-in-law"?

Alas, the boat of friendship between them capsized at the starting point before it could set sail again.

Chen Bo's legs and feet have improved a lot since he took the "Qing Teng Yushu". He can still walk without a stick, but it's just a little slower. When he saw Ji Yun, his eyes were complicated: "Ji Yun."

He already knew Ji Yun's true identity from Jiao Jiao'er, as well as the reason for coming to Chenjiabao in the first place. He even knew that Run'er was just a remnant of the bloodline of the Zhou royal family's mother clan.

Luoyang, he was handed over to Ji Yun's hands as soon as he was born and raised in the name of father and son for several years.

It can be said that since Chen Bo met him, he has been filled with too many lies and deceptions, and Chen Bo didn't know how to face him for a while.

Ji Yun also knew that she felt guilty and sorry for Chen's father. Even if he had not done any substantial harm, his insincerity and approach with other purposes were a kind of harm.

He lifted up his hem and knelt in front of Father Chen in public.

"Ji Yun made a mistake, and it is understandable that the family should blame her. Here today, I will punish you without any complaints."

Even after the snow was swept away, there were still wet traces on the ground. The ground was extremely cold. He knelt there with his knees long, and it was like ice knives piercing his bones.

Sijiang suddenly saw him admitting his guilt and kneeling as punishment, in front of so many people, in front of the gate, and under the eyes of passers-by on the street. What kind of big mistake had he made, without even caring about his dignity and face?

As for that.

He subconsciously looked at Chen Baiqi, but saw that she was silent, standing next to Ji Yun, looking at Chen's father indifferently, but had no intention of intervening in this matter.

There are some things that they can only handle by themselves. She will not persuade Chen's father to forgive, force others to make things difficult, nor will she blame Ji Yun together with Chen's father. After all, even a Xibei girl does not have a firm enough stance. She will only watch carefully.

They give them a push when they are confused and helpless.

Father Chen looked at Ji Yun who was kneeling in front of him. He had an itchy throat and coughed a little. The others didn't know the cause or the consequences, so no one intervened. They just watched quietly and curiously.

"Get up."

Chen's father said.

Ji Yun did not move.

"Don't make mistakes."

But Chen's father stepped forward in a few hurried steps and slapped him on the back: "Get up quickly, don't you think it's embarrassing? My Jiaojiao son is the Taifu, and he is the official overseeing the country. Do you want him to do it?"

She is being criticized!"
