In fact, in addition to the fact that Qi Qingyun can be trusted, and his martial arts are indeed very strong, the reason why Zong Jiyuan agreed to let him go with him still has something to do with the purpose of this trip.

In this way, "two people alone" became "three people walking", He Qingyu naturally looked a little depressed, and although Zong Jiyuan knew that he was unhappy, he didn't pay attention to it, and just chatted with Qi Qingyun.

"When we first met, my predecessor said that you originally lived in Hebei, right?"

"yes, absolutely,"

While answering, Qi Qingyun's eyes instantly became a little blurry, as if recalling the past and his thoughts were drifting into the distance.

"Although my ancestors are in Henan, I came to live in Hebei with my relatives very early, and I have been living there until more than ten years ......ago."

"So, why did you come to this level again?"

Zong Jiyuan asked with great interest.

Qi Qingyun smiled bitterly and said,

"Isn't it because of the troubles...... About 20 years ago, my relatives and I were displaced, and the most important person in my life was lost. It was in order to find that person that I began to go into exile, and it was more than ten years ago that I went out of this pass. ”

"Oh? Did you find it, the person who was most important to you? ”

Zong Jiyuan asked with concern with her watery eyes.

Qi Qingyun listened to her question, and his smile actually became hearty,

"Not yet, but it's a bit of an eyebrow."

"Oh, that's great,"

Zong Jiyuan also smiled sincerely and blessedly,

"I hope that Senior Qi can find his relatives as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, my predecessor just said that he was going to look for me in Liaodong County, is there anything wrong? ”

"Ah...... This one,"

Qi Qingyun seemed to hesitate a little, and paused before saying,

"That's the case, isn't Young Master Zong doing things in the Yazhong of Liaodong County, I think you should be able to find someone in the official mansion, and I wanted to go to you for help. However, there is no need to rush this now, and I will talk about it after I accompany you on this trip. ”

"I see, well, let's hurry."

Zong Jiyuan pursed his lips and chuckled.

This person didn't tell the truth, but even so, his expression was impressive, and there was no treacherous color, so even if he must be hiding something, it should probably be his personal matter, and he shouldn't ask any more. Thinking of this, Zong Jiyuan didn't say anything more, and the three of them gathered towards Cui's family together.

When he arrived at that small village, it was already past lunch time, because he didn't know the specific location of Cui Zhan's house, Zong Jiyuan looked at the two people who were traveling with him, and said,

"Senior Qi, Brother Qingyu, let's find a place to eat something first, how about it?"

"Okay,"

He Qingyu replied first,

"Brother Wei is really curious about whether he can eat the food of ordinary people."

Knowing that he was making trouble with himself, Zong Jiyuan not only was not annoyed, but smiled, looked up and looked around, but did not find a place like a restaurant where he could eat.

Qi Qingyun and He Qingyu didn't have any opinions, so they just followed her. The three of them led the horses, along the narrow street in the village, and went straight to the food stall they were looking for, and saw that the owner of the stall was busy washing dishes and dishes, and when they felt that someone was coming, they raised their heads and looked over.

"Ouch, isn't this Young Master Zong! How did you have time to come to the villain? ”

"Oh, I'm here to find Big Brother Cui Zhan,"

Zong Jiyuan said with a smile,

"But I'm a little hungry when I walk, so I want to come here and eat something."

"In that case, please come in and sit down."

This time, the owner of the stall was no longer worried that these distinguished guests would be out of taste, so he hurriedly greeted the three of them, wiped the tables and stools, invited them to sit down, and brought a pot of tea, and asked while pouring it for them,

"Young Master Zong, what do you three want to eat?"

"The host will look at it,"

Zong Jiyuan took a sip of the teacup and said with a kind smile,

"As long as it's a farmhouse meal that's affordable and can be served as soon as possible."

"Hello!"

The owner of the stall readily agreed, saying,

"You three, please sit down first, and the meal will be brought to you in a moment."

It is probably past the time to eat, or there are not many guests, plus the owner of this rice stall is nimble, not long after, four dishes, a bowl of soup has been served, and then three bowls of rice are served, although they are all produced by the farmer, but it can be seen that the host still spent a lot of effort, trying to make it as good as possible.

While eating, Zong Jiyuan still chatted with Qi Qingyun, and although He Qingyu was silent, he could still see that he was listening quite seriously.

Because none of the three of them had drunk, they didn't eat for long, and their stomachs were almost full, Zong Jiyuan looked back at the master and said,

"Master, let me ask you, how should I go to Brother Cui Zhan's house?"

"Cui Zhanjia,"

The stall owner was busy with the work in his hands, and at the same time promised,

"Actually, their house is easy to find, and a few of them may have passed by his door just now. From here, not far from the west into the village, there is a tall elm tree, there is a path next to the elm tree, from there less than a dozen steps to the south, you will see the big courtyard of the Cui Zhan brothers' family, their family has a large population, several generations have lived together, so the yard is large. ”

"Okay, I got it!"

While speaking, Zong Jiyuan turned his head and saw that Qi Qingyun and He Qingyu had also put down their chopsticks, knowing that they had almost eaten, so he got up, came to the stall owner, and put a small piece of broken silver in his hand.

"Come, take it, it's the food money, and thank you for showing us the way."

"Huh?!"

Looking at the white silver in his hand, the owner of the rice stall was taken aback, you know, most of the ordinary people only see copper coins, and many people may not see what silver looks like in their lifetime, the owner of this stall hurriedly excused himself at that time, and said,

"Ouch, Young Master Zong, this can't be helped, this meal is not worth a few big bucks at all, how can I accept your money? Get it back ......."

"Master, in fact, this silver is not just for this meal,"

Zong Jiyuan explained in a very sincere tone,

"As a warm reception for you, this affection is more important than anything else, so this silver also represents a little bit of my heart, don't shirk it again."
