Chapter 28: Returning Home
Bai Jiaojiao saw that Dong Mingxuan didn't tell the truth and didn't reveal anything, so she eased her mind and said, "Okay, Dad, I know, we will stay at home these days, and we won't run out easily, I'll call my brother in." β
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.
"Brother, Dad is calling you." Bai Jiaojiao said to Qingfeng, Qingfeng is still showing off those accidental pears with the Tang family, what should I do when it comes to these?
Hearing Bai Jiaojiao say this, she said to Tang. "Mother, my father called me, I'll go over first, and we'll discuss it when we come back later."
"Okay, go quickly, your father must be in a hurry when he tells you." Tang said.
Qingfeng walked towards Dong Mingxuan's house, and his steps were a little hurried.
"Dad, did you tell me something?" Qingfeng asked Dong Mingxuan.
It's just that Dong Mingxuan was still shocked by what Bai Jiaojiao said just now, and he didn't come to his senses, when Qingfeng came in, he was still stunned and thinking about things, so he didn't notice what Qingfeng said.
Qingfeng walked closer to the front, and Dong Mingxuan came back to his senses.
"What? What did you just say? β
"Dad, do you have anything to tell me?" Qingfeng said patiently again.
"Oh, that's right, just now Yiyi told me that there are a few pharmacists in our village who are going to collect medicine on Nameiwu Mountain, and I thought that now that they are going, you should not go up the mountain again, and you should not have more contact with those people." Dong Mingxuan said.
"Dad, it's okay, we look at those people very kindly, if they just want to go up the mountain, it won't be harmful." Qingfeng said indifferently.
"Qingfeng, in the past, few people came to our village, and outsiders never passed by here, but now no matter what banner they came to Meiwu Mountain, obviously with bad intentions, listen to Dad's words, you and Yiyi will have a good rest at home these days, and it will not be too late for you to go up the mountain when those people are gone." Dong Mingxuan said patiently.
He wanted to tell him about it, but he couldn't bear to tell him, after all, it was a national enemy and a family hatred for him. No matter what those people were doing on this mountain, he couldn't withdraw the breeze and go on an adventure.
"General, I saw a little familiarity with the young man just now, as if he had seen it somewhere." Said one of the guards behind the blue-robed man.
When the person with the face of the Quartet country character heard this, his eyebrows raised. He thought it was just his delusion, but he didn't expect it to be more than just himself.
Focha has also been with him for more than ten years, and the brothers who were born and died together have also seen a lot of the world.
"Focha, you may have read it wrong. It's the first time we've been here, so how can we be familiar? β
"Maybe, but the young man of the general is always a little kind, although he looks a little immature, but his temperament doesn't seem to have been raised in this countryside." Fucha still said puzzled.
"Fucha, let's put this matter aside for a while, don't forget the main purpose of our visit." Shen Qiong pinched her brows and said.
"Yes, General." Focha replied respectfully.
Shen Qiong looked at the mountain in the distance, it looked very tall and endless, as if there was no end in sight.
If that person really lives here all the time, it can be considered a kind of enjoyment.
If it weren't for the fact that the country is in danger now, the prince is incompetent, and the demon queen is rampant in the harem, His Majesty's body is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and the wolf ambition is becoming more and more arrogant. The only one who can stand up at this time is the former prince Li Jingcheng, and it may be more beneficial for him to return to Dongyan Kingdom at this time.
However, according to past experience, it is impossible to let Li Jingcheng return to China smoothly, after all, his enemy is still alive and graceful in his home, how can he go back.
Now even if he doesn't go back, this Jinyang Kingdom will treat him as a treasure.
If his talent is not put into governing the country, it will really be a loss.
"Master, the guards over there in Meiwu Mountain have sent news that General Shen Yusheng of Dongyan Kingdom took people to Meiwu Mountain and wants to find you to return to China to support the field." Lightning said in a somewhat disdainful tone, those people are really scoundrels.
For so many years, none of those people have sent anyone to find Li Jingcheng, but now they have sent someone to find him, but our master is no longer the same person as before, no longer the kind of person who comes and goes as soon as he is called, now he just follows his heart.
Li Jingcheng was still standing in front of his bookcase, writing in big characters, dressed in white, looking much more indifferent, as if nothing could arouse his emotions.
Hearing the report of lightning, the pen in his hand paused, and he quickly began to write again.
Although there are no words, but the heart is like a storm.
No one knows better than himself what kind of mood he is in right now.
Dongyan Country has long been not the place where he should live, that country symbolizes a kind of depression for him, and if the queen mother is still there, there may still be a glimmer of hope.
It's just that there are not so many ifs, since he was thrown out of that country and removed from the position of prince, he never thought about returning to that country again, relying on his own strength to study and practice hard, and now he has gone down the world, why go back.
Li Jingcheng didn't speak, and when Lightning saw that his master didn't have any instructions, he quietly retreated, as the master's earliest minion, he naturally knew his master's thoughts.
No matter how corrupt, how frequent, and fragile that country is, there is no need to take it to heart, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about.
Although Li Jingcheng looked calm on the surface, he remembered the unbearable past in his heart.
"Brother Jingcheng, will you marry me? I've already thought about it, and when we get married, I'll find a place to live in seclusion, anyway, I'm tired of this prosperity and wealth now, I want to see what it's like on the rivers and lakes, and I want to live a chivalrous life. β
The little girl held her face with her hands and looked at the boy with a slightly red face.
The young man's face was somewhat sad and difficult that ordinary people could not match. It's not because he doesn't want to marry this girl, but because marrying her will only hurt her, but I'm afraid it will hurt him.
The boy was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly into the little girl's eyes, and some avoided it.
"Brother Jingcheng, is there something wrong with you? Don't you want to marry me? β
The little girl's eyes immediately turned red, and her nose was slightly red, and she said this sentence tremblingly, the last thing she wanted to say.
"Cher, I didn't mean that, I just, I just..." The boy was a little anxious when he saw that the little girl was about to cry, but he didn't know how to explain it.
The little girl was amused when she saw the young man's face so eager to explain, but she didn't know how to explain it. He knows best what kind of person Brother Jingcheng is.
"Poof, what's the hurry? I'm just teasing you. In fact, I know that if you marry me, if you marry me, then your career will be broken. But I don't want to leave you, I won't marry anyone in my life except you, if you want to go on a career path. Then let's be like this, I won't marry you, and you won't marry me, we'll be like this. β
The little girl said a little naΓ―vely, but what woman is not looking forward to a wedding, an agreement with the person she likes for a lifetime.
The boy was a little embarrassed, he knew that he liked this little girl, but he also knew that if he was just a colt, he might not be able to take revenge in his life, and he would not be able to realize his ambitions.
The struggle, pain, and confusion in his eyes made the young man very difficult, because for him, at such a young age, if he was a child of a rich family, he would have already started a family and a business, and he was very happy with his wife.
It's just that he can't give up, he can't give up the opportunity to show his talent, and he doesn't want to give up everything he has worked hard for so many years.
Li Jingcheng looked at the wolf pen in his hand, and the ink dripped on the rice paper, blurring the neat words.
Yes, this young man is so self-reproachful now, he has seen through his career, and he has also seen through all the hearts of people in the world, but he doesn't know how he holds the power in his hands when he is young and refuses to let go.
This time I came to the capital to quietly want to hide quietly, but it was no longer safe on Meiwu Mountain, and I came back to see that person.
"Lightning." Li Jingcheng said a word out the window.
"Master, what do you command?" Lightning asked respectfully as he stood aside.
"I'm going to Lingshan tomorrow."
Lingshan? Lightning chuckled in his heart, for he knew nothing more than what the mountain meant to his master, despair, pain, and remorse. It was the beginning of making him give up everything and make a cloth dress.
The lightning trembled a little, but he also knew that the master should go to see the man, and the main purpose of this return was the same.
"Master, do you need to prepare anything tomorrow?"
"Not necessarily. You wait at the bottom of the mountain for me to go up by myself. Li Jingcheng said a little liberated. The voice seemed to come from afar, as if it had no soul.
Lightning is a little worried, because there are too many people who want the life of the master in this capital.
"Thunder, torrential rain." Lightning said into the air.
In a short time two shadows came running from a distance, and they were so light that if you didn't look closely, it was like a gust of wind, and suddenly they flashed in front of the lightning.
Clenched his fists and knelt in front of Lightning.
"The two of you will go up to Lingshan today to investigate and see if there is anyone's dark line on it." Lightning said.
Thunder and Torrential Rain are two hidden guards, attached to lightning. It's just that they won't be called out on weekdays, and only major events will let them out.
These two people were promoted later, and they didn't know what happened back then, so Lightning called the two of them.
Lingshan! Lightning looked at the northwest corner, a place he hadn't visited in almost a decade. I don't know if anything has changed.
"Yiyi, Dad just told me not to go out these days, I think what Dad said makes sense, no matter whether those people are good or bad, we shouldn't go out." Qingfeng said.
In fact, he wanted to sneak out in his heart, but he felt that it was too dangerous. Dong Mingxuan has taught him like a god since he was a child, guiding him to make the right choice.
Bai Jiaojiao actually knew it in his heart, but in comparison, he was more curious about what the purpose of the merchant was here?
Although those people have a Beijing accent, they don't look like people from their country, although they have tried their best to cover it up, but their figure is still the same, and they betray them, not like the tall and burly people of Beijing.
Li Jingcheng: Where did he go? It's been a long time since I've seen him.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at the Meiwu Mountain, although she couldn't see the hut, but her mind still flashed the bits and pieces of how he got along with Li Jingcheng that day, and no one had let her think about it like this for a long time.
"Yiyi, are you listening to me?" Qingfeng saw Bai Jiaojiao looking into the distance, and her eyes were a little empty.
"I hear you, brother. We just don't go out. Bai Jiaojiao said helplessly.
She was curious about who Dong Mingxuan was? Why is he so afraid of people sent by the court or the government?
Who is Li Jingcheng? His ghost-like figure, what is the reason why those people go to the mountains to find him at the cost of their lives?
Bai Jiaojiao had a headache, she took a deep breath and relaxed, this matter is too complicated.
