Chapter 16: Far from the World (Part 2)

The words were just about to celebrate and didn't talk further.

Everyone is smart, just click it, there is no need to say it too deeply. The reason for this is to let Mao Wang and his family escape from the incident in the future. Yan Qing felt that Maitreya had a great plan. With his words today, pleading for Mao Wang and his family in the future will be natural without any doubt.

I am concerned about national affairs and the duty of scholars.

Even though I am still white, the book teaches me that I should share my worries...

In this way, the matter of Mao Wang and his family of three joining Maitreya in white can be clearly explained.

It was getting late, Pei Xingyan and the other two were preparing to go back.

However, they made an appointment to move to Zhuyuan from tomorrow.

The luggage had been moved over, and Zheng Yanqing could not refuse. But the three of them came over, and Xu Shiji felt a little wronged.

That night, Yan Qing asked Dang Shijie, Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong to help and moved Xu Shiji's belongings to Yan Qing's bamboo house. Yan Qing lived upstairs, Xu Shiji lived downstairs, and Mao Xiaonian temporarily moved to the bamboo house in front.

Xu Shiji had no objection.

On the contrary, he was happy to live with Yan Qing, so that he could have fun and communicate with Zheng Yanqing at night.

But Mao Xiaonian was a little unhappy and kept pouting. When he moved to the bamboo house, wouldn’t he have to be far away from the young master?

Zheng Yanqing gave another good guidance, and Mao Xiaonian was a little happier.

As night fell, it started to rain.

The winter rain has caused the temperature to drop sharply... The rain is not very heavy, but it is very tangled, and the biting chill is even more unbearable.

The bustling and noisy city of Feng City closed before the hour of the year.

The storm of the storm outside the Dading Restaurant was light and dark, swaying gently in the cold wind of winter rain, making it look weak.

A carriage drove into Fengdu City, crossed a small road, and stopped at the corner gate of Dading Restaurant.

The coachman stepped forward and gently knocked on the door knocker. The corner door opened lightly in a moment. The carriage entered through the corner door and came to the backyard of the restaurant.

A domestic slave ran over with an oil-paper umbrella.

Immediately followed the curtain and got off the car.

"Second Master, the master is waiting for you in the study. He said you are back and go see him immediately."

"I see!"

The man took the oil-paper umbrella from his slave, suddenly turned around and said to the carriage groom, "Xiao Ba, park the car and go down and rest... Oh, I won't go to the charity I gave in Tongyuan City the day after tomorrow. You and your brothers must handle it."

The coachman hurriedly bowed, "Don't worry, Master, Xiao Ba will definitely live up to his mission."

The man walked through the backyard of the restaurant with an oil paper umbrella and soon stopped in front of a house. He put the oil paper umbrella aside, and he went forward to knock on the door. Then, without waiting for someone in the room to respond, he opened the door and walked in.

A faint light as strange as a spirit snake suddenly appeared, and a sword with a cold light pointed at his throat.

He smiled slightly, but did not see any movement under his feet. His body suddenly retreated back and pressed against the door panel.

"Brother, why are you so nervous?"

But the sword did not stop because of this, and continued to stab and made a slight sound like a snake. The smile disappeared immediately, and his face became a little ugly. However, when the cold sword tip hit his throat, he stopped moving forward.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

The man holding the sword has gray hair, barefoot and white clothes, and looks handsome.

If Yan Qing saw this, he would definitely recognize the sword-holder. It was the Husky, a merchant from Xiangzhou who stopped him from fighting with Pei Xingyan in the Luopu Library that day. At this moment, the Husky's face was gone, and there was a hint of coldness and harshness on his face. His lips were bare and his beard disappeared...

"Beard, who told you to preach in Luoyang without authorization?"

"ah?"

The man called a beard is also wearing a white shirt, with black beards under his jaw fluttering, which is quite a bit of a bookish spirit.

"Before we came to Luoyang, my mistress told me to first seek to gain a foothold and then develop. Now that our heels are not stable, you start preaching... Do you think your little moves can be hidden from my eyes?"

The handsome face of Beard twitched slightly and said with a forced smile: "Brother, please put down the sword first and listen to my explanation."

The coldness from the sword blade made Beard dare not act rashly.

He had no choice but to put his head back and put it on the door panel. He knew very well that the guy in front of him was not joking with him. When he was in power, he was a murderer who could not blink. Apart from the dead lord, only his wife's family could order him now. Although he was a sworn brother with him, he would not show mercy.

"I'm listening..."

The sword in the Husky's hand was not removed.

"I'm not trying to go against the mistress's wishes, but I'm just watching the situation gradually stabilize, I'm also anxious.

The young master is getting older. Could it be that he will continue to live such shameless days like us? I feel uncomfortable even though he can't even return to his ancestors until now. He uses his surname with his dignity."

"So, you go find the Poye Head?"

Hu Zi was shocked and said with a forced smile: "Brother is indeed amazing... I don't want to hide it from my brother, but I just think that if we want to open up the situation in Luoyang, there must be someone behind us. Poye Tou is also a subordinate of the lord and has enough power, so I thought that contacting him will make it easier for us to gain a foothold."

The Husky slowly lowered the sword in his hand, but still stared at his beard with a sharp gaze.

"Bad wild head, no trust!"

After a while, he returned to the case and said in a deep voice: "You must know that the old master's plot was leaked back then, and I kept thinking about who leaked the news... After thinking about it, it seemed that this broken wild head was the most suspicious."

"ah?"

"It's just that I don't have any evidence in my hands now, and my mistress doesn't let me act rashly, revealing my identity.

Otherwise, I would never tolerate the Poye Tou family living until now... In short, you can use Poye Tou as a guise, but you must not believe him. Beard, we have been enduring for twenty years, and I really don't want a mistake at this time."

Beard swallowed, walked slowly over and sat down opposite the Husky.

"Also, why did you make rumors before?"

"this……"

Hu Zi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Does the eldest brother talk about the Hanyuanjun and the young lady of the Pei family? Haha, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It was a few days ago that Poye Tou Chengzhi came to me and asked me to try to release rumors and instigate the conflict between Mai Zizhong and Banyuanjun. I was thinking about how to get in touch with Poye Tou, and the Zheng family and Mai family had nothing to do with us... So I agreed to Poye Tou Chengzhi and ordered people to spread some news in the market."

"Nothing!"

The Husky's eyes flashed, "It's best not to pay attention to the little beast's affairs. Mai Tiebang is a close confidant of the thief chief and has great power. Although the Zheng family in Xingyang is not as good as that of the past, the Guandong gentry is mixed. If you and me are found, it will delay the lord's affairs. Our top priority is not to preach or make friends with the powerful.

We must first stand firm and slowly try to penetrate through.

You stop preaching immediately and don’t contact the Poye Tou family too closely. I have already made plans."

"Since my elder brother has given the order, I will do as I want."

Hu Zi agreed, got up and said goodbye, ready to leave.

Just as he was about to open the door, Husky's cold voice suddenly rang behind his back: "Beard, you have to remember that your lives were gone twenty years ago. From now on, everything must be done according to the plan. If you let me know that you are good at making a decision, don't blame me Husky for not talking about the friendship of these twenty years."

The corners of Beard's mouth twitched and turned around and said, "Don't worry, brother, I understand!"

Walking along the corridor, Beard came to a secluded courtyard.

There was an ancient locust tree growing in the yard that two people needed to embrace each other. His beard suddenly stepped forward and punched the tree trunk with a punch.

The trunks of the tree trembled and the dry branches fell one after another.

"Husky, don't be proud!"

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a curse from his teeth.

Just then, a voice came from outside the yard: "Master, the carriage has been placed. Do you have any instructions?"

"Xiao Ba, please inform us and stop the donation in two days!"

...

It's dawn and the sky is as clear as the sky.

The sun shone into the bamboo garden, and the dragon-tooth grass under the outer corridor showed a yellow color.

The light rain overnight made the bamboo garden feel even more cold and quiet. Yan Qing got up early one morning and jogged around the bamboo garden with Xu Shiji. After exercising his body, he started practicing. Xu Shiji and Yan Qing had different skills, and he felt that the guidance of health preservation was too complicated, so although Yan Qing taught him, he was unwilling to learn it.

Xu Shiji prefers to practice swords and spears and runs out of the bamboo garden on a horse.

Zheng Yanqing contacted guidance techniques in a secluded place in the forest, stretching the fascia and strengthening the qi and blood. After practicing a set of guidance techniques, he used the five-animal fist tricks to hit the bamboo stem with one punch until he was sweating profusely.

Mao Xiaonian stood by and watched with a towel.

When Yan Qing finished practicing, she walked up with a towel in her hand.

"Young Master, wipe it."

Yan Qing took the towel and wiped the sweat clean.

"Xiao Nian, Pei Xingyan and the others will come in a while. We want to contact Jiju.

You ask Aunt Mao to prepare more meals and boil more water. We may have to clean our bodies when we come back."

"Yeah, Xiao Nian has written it down."

The two walked back side by side. When they were about to reach the bamboo building, Zheng Yanqing suddenly asked, "Xiao Nian, the white-clothed Maitreya will be donated in two days."

Mao Xiaonian said: "If you calculate the time, it's almost done."

My father discussed this matter with my mother yesterday... Master, I heard from those refugees that there seemed to be some turmoil outside. Master, do you think those bad guys will come to our side? I am really worried."
