Chapter 102: Chaos
Please remember the URL of this site: . Summer is hot. The grass on both sides of the wide official road is a little wilted. In the past, there were many people on the official road that was quite deserted. Most of these people have bitter faces. There are a lot of them that are still dragged with their families.
Kick up a puff of dust. The carriage that was speeding down the official road suddenly slowed down. Because this section of the road is already full of pedestrians. The carriage had to slow down.
Not long ago. Xiang Yantian and Yan Qing had just left the paradise in the valley. I found that the outside world had changed a lot. Originally, it was just chaos. At least the people can live in peace. First, even ordinary people have been swept in. This is far beyond the realm of the battle of the rivers and lakes.
The world is in turmoil. Many innocent people have been caught up in the dire straits. Part never to meet again. Xiang Yantian has seen too much along the way. With doubts. With the will to get to the bottom of it. She's going to go to a city where power is relatively concentrated. And the one she chose was the Purple Jade City, which is famous for its abundance of purple jade.
In front of the Purple Jade City. There was a long queue of refugees in rags. Under the investigation of the soldiers defending the city, he slowly walked into the city. Then. Xiang Yantian and Yan Qing also got out of the carriage. Because in this special period, ordinary people are not allowed to take a car into the city.
"Yan'er. I never thought that we had only been away for more than a month, and the world would be in such a mess." His eyes swept over the refugees beside him. Romance couldn't help but frown.
"Hmm. I really didn't expect it." Xiang Yan nodded in response. Look at the countless refugees in front of you. She felt her heart tighten suddenly. The pace of progress has also quietly accelerated.
Even though both of them have blades on their bodies. But these soldiers defending the city seem to have long been commonplace. Without any effort at all, the two of them entered the city lightly. After entering the city. Inquire all the way. Turn around several streets. They finally came to a house.
Bluestone lions about three feet tall stand on both sides. On several white stone steps is a wide dark red courtyard gate. The two golden characters of "Li Mansion", which are sprinkled and dignified, indicate that this is not an ordinary family.
I looked up at the somewhat familiar handwriting on the plaque. The corners of Xiang Yan's mouth hooked up a smile. A majestic and kind old man with a white beard came to life in her memory.
LI Yuan. Former Criminal Department Shangshu. Be upright. The case is handled clearly. It doesn't matter if you are noble or not. He will not show any mercy to anyone who is found guilty. Therefore, he is known as the iron-faced and selfless blue sky lord. After the mysterious death of Xiang Yantian's mother. The case was put in his hands. During this period. She has always been taken care of by Li Yuan. It wasn't until five years ago that he returned home.
"This little brother. Please inform Li Yun and Lord Li. Just say, 'The little girl of the year' asked to see me." Walk up the steps. The guard at the gate bowed slightly. Xiang Yan said with a smile.
The young man's caretaker looked at Xiang Yan slightly. Then he walked quickly to the house: "Please wait, Miss."
About tea time. The caretaker returned to the door. Behind him was an old man dressed in cloth and with white hair. Judging by the old man's appearance. It doesn't seem to be a young age. But his gait is very vigorous. The body bones are obviously still very tough.
"Grandpa Yuan. Long time no see." Greet the old man who walked out of the courtyard gate. Xiang Yan bowed. A soft smile appeared on his face.
Staring at Xiang Yantian who was walking towards him. The old man was stunned at first. Then the old man's face suddenly showed surprise. Step forward quickly. One grabbed her hand. In the end, he was so excited that he burst into tears: "Little Tilter. Not seen for five years. You look more and more like your mother."
Less. The old man slapped his forehead. Blamed himself: "Look at me. It's all old and confused. Let the two of them stand in the doorway. Fast. Come in and talk. This son, please come in. Ha. Hahaha......"
It's just that. Yan Qing stood in place stunned. I haven't taken a step in a while. Staring at the two who seemed to be grandchildren. Confusion twitched between his brows. Finally. It was only under Xiang Yantian's call that she reacted. Hurriedly walked into the house.
