Chapter 18: Expulsion from the City of Faith
Early the next morning, the genius was slightly bright, and Yi Chen was awakened by the knock on the door, and hurriedly got up and opened the door to check.
The two guards were guarding the door, and when they saw Yi Chen open the door, they bowed down and said, "Young Master Yi Chen, please pack up your clothes immediately and go out of the city with us!"
"What are you doing out of the city?" asked Yi Chen, a little surprised.
"If you don't go out of the city, you will bring disaster to the City Lord's Mansion!" Qi Feng walked over and said.
"I'm going to bring disaster?" Yi Chen was even more surprised.
"Last night, my mother saw several meteors in the west piercing the sky, so she asked the soothsayer to make a divination. Qi Feng said, but he didn't dare to look at Yi Chen's eyes, "The hexagram shows that people from the west will bring unwarranted disasters to the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Eight years ago, Qi Lin found Yi Chen from the Western Desert. Of course, Yi Chen knew that this person from the west was referring to himself.
Yi Chen looked at Qi Feng's side face, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, I'll clean up my things." ”
Yi Chen quickly packed up his things, and then left with the two guards, without saying a word.
Looking at Yi Chen's distant back, Qi Feng's eyes moistened. He didn't know if he would have a chance to meet Yi Chen in his life.
On the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Lan watched the two guards take Yi Chen out of the City Lord's Mansion on a tall horse, and two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
Qi Feng walked over from behind, Yu Lan quickly wiped away her tears, didn't look back, and asked, "Did Chen'er say anything?"
He didn't say anything. Qi Feng said.
Yes, Qi Feng said it decisively, and Yi Chen walked even more decisively.
"This kid knows everything in his heart, and he doesn't want us to be embarrassed. Yu Lan said, her voice a little choked.
The two guards sent Yi Chen outside the castle, then stopped and dismounted. Yi Chen also dismounted.
"Young Yi Chen, this is something that the City Lord's wife has prepared for you, please be sure to accept it!" one of the guards bowed down and presented a package to Yi Chen.
Yi Chen took the package, looked at the direction of the Xincheng City Lord's Mansion and said, "I have thanked the City Lord and Mrs. for me, and I will say that Yi Chen is grateful to them for their eight years of nurturing!"
"Young Master Yichen, the young city lord asked me to convey a word to you, please make a detour when you meet someone from the Medical Sect in the future. Another guard said.
"Okay, I remembered!" Yi Chen nodded and said, taking out a book from his body and handing it to the guard, "Give this book to the young city lord, I have already annotated it one by one, let him read it patiently." ”
"Yes!" the guard bowed and took the book with both hands.
The two guards said a few more words to Yi Chen to take care, then got on their horses and returned to Shinjo.
Yi Chen watched Xincheng kneel down, bowed nine times in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and then put away his baggage, got up and got on his horse, and galloped away from Xincheng.
Yi Chen didn't resent anyone, he was an abandoned orphan, if it wasn't for Qi Lin, the lord of Xincheng City, who saved him in the desert to the west eight years ago, I'm afraid he would have died of illness.
He believed that Qi Feng and the city lord's mansion drove him out of the letter city, although the reason he said was very ridiculous, but there must be their last resort. He didn't know the real reason, but it should be related to the medical sect, and he had already vaguely guessed in his heart the possibility that he was unwilling to accept.
Before breakfast, Yu Lan told Qi Lin about the matter without reservation.
Qi Lin was silent for a long time, but he didn't blame Yu Lan and Qi Feng, and said a little lonely: "I finally understand what the Phaseless Heavenly Master said, he said that it was not a disease, it was a fate!
Chen'er didn't say anything, Feng'er asked him to go, and he left. Yu Lan sighed and said, "He's so smart, he should have thought of everything." ”
"No matter what, it's my Qi family who loses him!" Qi Lin said, feeling a faint pain in his heart.
The two came to the banquet hall, where Qi Feng, Ziyi, and Shui Yao were already sitting, ready to eat breakfast.
Qi Lin and Yu Lan took their seats and said, "Let's eat!"
"Where's Brother Yi Chen?" Shui Yao asked, looking at the vacant seat beside Qi Feng.
"Yes, why didn't you see Yi Chen?" Zi Yi also asked a little surprised. Because every time she sees Qifeng, Yi Chen must be by his side.
"Last night, Yi Chen's hometown came and said that something happened at home, so he rushed back early in the morning. Yu Lan smiled at everyone and said.
"Then he didn't even participate in the sect test?" Zi Yi asked in surprise. For young people, the sect test is a top priority.
"There are some things that are more important than the sect test. Qi Lin said lightly.
Listening to the tone of the city lord, Ziyi didn't dare to ask again, and bowed her head to eat breakfast.
Everyone finished breakfast in a dull atmosphere, and Qi Lin asked Qi Feng to take Ziyi to the city for a walk.
As soon as Qi Feng and Zi Yi left, the guards immediately came to report that the sect master and deacon of the Medical Sect visited the City Lord's Mansion. Qi Lin and Yu Lan hurried to the door to greet them.
The sect masters of the six sects, like the city lords of the five cities, are all first-class masters. Moreover, Liuzong sent talents from all walks of life to the five cities, ensuring the military and economic development of the five cities. Therefore, the city lords of the five cities all attach great importance to the relationship with each sect.
"The Sect Master came to Xincheng in person, Qi was not well treated, and I also asked the Sect Master not to be surprised!" Qi Lin stepped forward to give a salute. Nan Ao, the sect leader of the Medical Sect, is already over the age of old, and he is also an elder to Qi Lin, so it is not an exaggeration to bow down.
"Yu Lan has seen Master!" Yu Lan also saluted Nan Ao. Yu Lan used to worship under the medical sect, and Nan Ao once took her for a while, and she did have the status of master and apprentice.
The city lord and his wife performed this big gift in front of the deacon of the Medical Sect, which was considered to have given Nan Ao enough face.
Nan Ao smiled all over his face, and hurriedly went up to help the two of them and said, "The city lord and his wife are at the same level as my officials, but they do such a big gift, it is really tormenting!"
"Nan Ye has seen the city lord, ma'am!" Nan Ye saluted Qi Lin and Yu Lan. Other medical deacons also saluted the city lord and his wife one after another.
"The leaves have grown so big?" Yu Lan said in surprise as she pulled Nan Ye and looked at her, "The last time I saw her in Zhicheng, she was only a little taller. Now they've grown into big beauties!"
Nanye smiled sheepishly, not knowing how to respond.
Nan Ao smiled and said, "The younger generation has grown up, the son should go back to the house, right?
"Feng'er just came back yesterday, and I'm going to go outside with my classmates. Qi Lin said, and then made a gesture of invitation to Nan Ao, "Sect Master, please inside!"
Qi Lin took Nan Ao to the City Lord's Mansion Chamber, asked the maid to make tea, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then began to talk about business.
"I'm here this time mainly for a medical check-up. Nan Ao said while drinking tea, "Last night, Governor Bird returned to the General Mansion of the Medical Sect ahead of schedule. Madame should know that there must have been an accident when Governor Bird returned home early. ”
"Is it because Feng'er broke into the ice room last night?" asked Yu Lan a little worriedly.
"Although it is inappropriate for Childe to enter the ice room, it is the responsibility of the caretaker, and there is no reason to blame Childe. Nan Ao hurriedly comforted Yu Lan and said, "However, Childe did us a favor this time and let us find a plague disease. ”
