Before leaving the capital, Gu Bainiang and Yin Heng went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Strictly speaking, it was the emperor who invited them to go, because the emperor had personally invited them when he came to Jiangfu to visit Jiang Yuetang that day.

Sitting in the Yinghua Palace, Gu Bainiang and Yin Heng were uncomfortable.

The Emperor sat on the dragon chair opposite them, and the afternoon sun shone in through the window, shining on his golden dragon robe, making him even more majestic and invisible.

"Zhou Tong's whereabouts are still not there, I'm really sorry!" Gu Banniang said with a look of shame.

In fact, she also felt that Zhou Tong and his people should be no longer alive, otherwise it would be impossible to find a trace after the emperor sent people to the whole country for three or four years, however, Zhou Tong is the only person who can confess the mastermind behind it, an indirect witness in the murder of the first emperor, and the only key witness now, they can't give up.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I have sent so many people to check in recent years and can't find out, how can I blame you? From now on, you just need to pay more attention to your daily life, and you don't have to make a special trip to check. ”

Gu Bainiang nodded, although her heart was somewhat relaxed, she still felt very regretful, so she said to the emperor: "We will definitely pay special attention to this matter." ”

The emperor nodded, and asked Yin Heng if he was mainly refining medicine at home now.

Yin Heng hurriedly replied yes.

The emperor looked at him and said, "You have superb medical skills, you should come out to help more people, if you are willing, I want to invite you to the palace to be an alchemist, what do you think?"

Yin Heng and Gu Bainiang were both shocked.

Before this, Yin Heng never thought that he could gain a foothold in the capital, and he didn't have this idea himself, now when he heard the emperor say this, he was a little moved in his heart, but he was also a little hesitant, after all, the palace was a place of deceit, he asked himself if he had a pure temperament, but he was afraid that he would be framed by someone accidentally.

Because he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, he looked at Gu Bainiang.

Gu Banniang said: "If you stay as an alchemist, you can treat more people, which is undoubtedly a creative thing." Go back to the town and continue refining medicine, that's the life you've been living, calm and waveless, and it's a way to live. As for how you choose, it depends on which kind of life you want to live now. ”

She didn't give direct advice, she knew very well that this kind of thing was better off being decided by himself.

So Yin Heng looked at the emperor, and then lowered his head and pondered.

Young people in their twenties, especially a man, always want to live a good life outside, and although he doesn't really have much ambition, he is still a little tempted by the thought that he can use his skills to help more people.

The emperor took the opportunity to report his salary.

Yin Heng's heart was moved when he heard it.

This month's salary is worth his income in the town for a year, and if he works on his own, he will be able to pay for ten or twenty years to return to the town to build a decent house, and ensure that he can live a decent life for the rest of his life.

So Yin Heng didn't hesitate any longer, nodded respectfully and said, "Then thank Your Majesty for your love." ”

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Yin Heng followed Gu Baniang back to Jiangfu.

He had to go back to the town where he lived with Gu Bainiang tomorrow, because he had to bring the batch of refined medicines at home, and by the way, he could leave the town and go here with peace of mind.

On the way back to Jiangfu, Yin Heng said: "After I stabilize in the palace, I will secretly investigate the case of the death of the first emperor, and at that time I will have a lot of convenience." ”

The first emperor died in the palace, and he wanted to find out what the situation was like when he died, and who was around him.

He knew how to heal, and he believed it would be beneficial to his investigation.

Gu Bainiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Obviously, Your Majesty also has this intention, so you can tell Your Majesty what you think after you enter the palace, so that you can get more resources from him, and it will be more convenient to check it." ”

Yin Heng nodded.

A decision that changed half of his life was a feeling he felt for real.

When the two returned to Jiangfu, Jiang Chuanxiong happened to come back from the office, and he said to Gu Bainiang with a smile: "You are leaving tomorrow, I have something to ask for before you leave." ”

Gu Bainiang hurriedly said: "Lord Jiang, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

So Jiang Chuanxiong and her slowly walked to the garden in the center of Jiangfu, chatting as they walked.

"I want Yueting to follow the members of the 'Sun Moon Meteor Sect' to walk the rivers and lakes for two years, do you think it's okay?" Jiang Chuanxiong said this idea very seriously and apprehensively, and then looked at Gu Bainiang with a nervous expression.

Gu Bainiang was quite surprised, and said: "Now that you have only one child under your knees, are you really willing to let him follow us to walk the rivers and lakes?"

Walking on the rivers and lakes is not comparable to ordinary travel, because for knights, the road is uneven is bound to shoot, so over time they will accumulate a lot of enemies, when they walk on the rivers and lakes, they may face the danger of their lives anytime and anywhere, they are used to this kind of life, but 'Jiang Yueting' has never been in contact, and 'Jiang Yueting' does not know martial arts, in case of encountering a scene of fighting and killing on the way, 'he' can't even protect himself, which will add a lot of trouble to the people of the entire gang.

At worst, what if 'Jiang Yueting' was killed by the enemy in the melee one day?

Thinking like this, Gu Bainiang couldn't help but have some concerns. Of course, she also understands Jiang Chuanxiong's idea of letting his son go out to see the world.

Jiang Chuanxiong nodded and said: "If a child wants to grow up, he has to go through the wind and rain by himself, not to mention that 'he' is already a strategist who regards the interests of the common people in the world as his own responsibility, so he should go out and see the world." I've thought about it carefully, I'm not at ease to let 'him' and other people, I'm relieved to let 'him' follow you, and you don't have to worry too much about the safety of 'him' on the way, although 'he' doesn't know martial arts, but he has a strong ability to respond to emergencies, and he won't be killed so easily. Of course, 'he' should also learn some martial arts to defend himself, so I would like to ask you or your disciples to properly teach 'him' a little martial arts during the two years that 'he' has been with you, how about it?"

Gu Bainiang thought for a while and said: "Lord Jiang, I like 'Yueting' very much, and I wish I could talk and learn from 'him' often, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, and I am really afraid that 'he' will suffer a lot after following us, or his life will be in danger for other reasons." ”

Jiang Chuanxiong smiled and said: "I talked to 'him' in private, and 'he' said that 'he' doesn't mind suffering these things, and if he is killed because of 'his' skills, not only 'he' but even we can give full understanding, and we will definitely not blame you for half a sentence." ”
