Chapter 154: Parting
The drizzle continued to fall, and in the evening the fire in the city was extinguished. Without the firelight of the day, the empty city fell silent again.
It rained all night, and the next day it finally cleared.
After the rain, the sky was exceptionally clear, and the bright sun slowly shone from the east, and the coldness of the continuous rain for many days finally dissipated under this warmth. For this ancient city, the drizzle washed away the pain of the wounded city, and after one night, the empty city was as prosperous as ever.
It's just that the ruins that can be seen everywhere in the city are reminding the wounds behind the prosperity.
Overall, though, today can be considered a good day, and it's a day like this, and it's a good day for everything and a good day to travel.
So, the time of parting has come.
"I ran out for so long, and I haven't gone back. When I came out of the Yuelai Inn, I heard the middle-aged man next to Liu Yiyi say sternly, but this sternness also turned into helplessness in Liu Yiyi's pitiful expression, "You, you ......."
This middle-aged man who is familiar to Yan Wuxin is Liu Yiyi's father, Liu Qing, the city lord of Jialing City, Yan Wuxin, who has always heard his name, also saw his true face of Lushan yesterday, if it is said that the appearance is naturally five points similar to Liu Yiyi, but compared to Liu Yiyi, the face of this city lord is a little more majestic and righteous, and there is less Liu Yiyi's naughty temperament.
Seeing her father's indiscriminate appearance towards her, Liu Yiyi frowned proudly, and said a little ostentatiously: "Besides, I have become a Jiupin Yanshi when I come out this time, and the master will definitely be stunned when he knows it, now it depends on which of you dares to say that I can't do it, hum." ”
Looking at the green jade nameplate in her daughter's hand, Liu Qing glared at her, no way, Yiyi, who had no mother since she was a child, was spoiled by herself, and when she grew up, she was used to being used to being old money, and she couldn't manage it, and now she really has no choice, so she can only gently knock on her head and say: "You are embarrassed to say, if you are not unintentional, you can get it." ”
"Hehe, it can only show that we are profitable, right, unintentional?" Liu Yiyi, who was still a little sullen yesterday, was a little depressed yesterday, but after knowing that Yan Wuxin had also become a Yanshi, his depressed mood was swept away, and he praised the old man for distinguishing right from wrong, fortunately, the old man left early, otherwise his thoughtfulness was evaluated by Liu Yiyi, and I don't know what he would think.
What Liu Nuxia said was extremely true. Yan Wuxin, who has known her for a while, will naturally not save her face, but for Yan Wuxin, this is the case, without Liu Yiyi, he might have just entered the Golden Pagoda and was sent out, so Liu Yiyi is naturally amazing.
Hearing Yan Wuxin's words, Liu Yiyi was naturally more proud, fortunately she didn't have a tail, otherwise she would really have to go to the sky, but looking at her appearance, Liu Qing said angrily: "All day long, what kind of body do you become, after you go back, you can follow Qian Lao for a while and raise your temperament." ”
"Old Qian?" Hearing these two words, Yan Wuxin was stunned in his heart, thinking of the old man who gave him a bite to eat, and remembering the [child] that the old man gave him before parting, the old man was also called Qian Lao, but after thinking about it, Yan Wuxin only felt that it should be just a coincidence, and he would return to Jialing City to see how the old man was doing.
"Ah, don't, my chivalrous deeds have just begun, and Mu Chen is also here, Dad...... You don't have to worry. It seems that Liu Yiyi naturally doesn't want to leave, she finally came out once, how can she go back like this.
"You still dare to say that if Mu Chen hadn't followed, I would have brought you back a long time ago. Liu Qing nodded her daughter's head and unceremoniously revealed her old bottom.
Mu Chen was naturally deceived by her, and Liu Yiyi blushed a little when her father said this, but for the sake of her dreams, she would not compromise at this time, she glanced at Mu Chen and said confidently: "Who said it, I am taking care of him, right, Mu Chen?"
Seeing Liu Yiyi's gaze, Mu Chen nodded hurriedly, he didn't want to be plotted inexplicably in the future, not to mention that now that Liu Yiyi has that jasper lizard, the means of plotting are even more unexpected, at this time, he is afraid that he will be remembered by Liu Yiyi if he nods slowly.
Mu Chen's appearance of a chicken pecking rice made Liu Qing completely helpless, Mu Chen was a big man he had seen since he was a child, and needless to say in terms of personality, he was naturally very satisfied. It's just that when he faces his daughter, he is a little soft, which should be a good thing for other fathers, but he knows his daughter's character, and if it goes on like this, he is only afraid that it will be Mu Chen who will be bullied.
The farewell time is a bit long, but at Liu Qing's insistence, Liu Yiyi can only nod in resignation, she has been elated since yesterday and she is a little depressed, I am afraid that for a period of time, she will not eat well, "Wuxin, you want to come to me." ”
It can be seen that Liu Nuxia is very reluctant, and Mu Chen didn't say anything, patted Yan Wuxin's shoulder, everything was silent, but Liu Qing asked more: "Wuxin, you really don't go back with us?"
For Yan Wuxin, Liu Qing had heard about it from Qian Lao a long time ago, and this time, knowing that he had helped his daughter a lot, after a day, Liu Qing also regarded Yan Wuxin as his junior, and his tone was kind, and his words were mixed with concern.
"Uncle Liu, I still have some things, so I won't go back to Jialing City first. For Liu Yiyi's father, Yan Wuxin was naturally full of respect, so he said so. Although this was a polite refusal, he didn't talk nonsense, after the Yanshi assessment was over, he would naturally go back to Lin'an first, but if Jialing City was over, he would naturally go back one day.
That day, he believes, should not be far off.
"Oh, yes, there are still some things in Jialing City waiting for me to go back and deal with, so I can't just stay, but if you need help in the future, just come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me." Liu Qing, who didn't need to explain to Yan Wuxin, still explained, which shows that he attaches great importance to Yan Wuxin, Qian Lao's words still echoed in his ears at the beginning, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for Qian Lao to say it.
"Wuxin, let's go, you must come to me. Liu Yiyi said this sentence very reluctantly.
Nodding, Yan Wuxin waved goodbye, looking at the faint tears in Liu Nuxia's eyes, for some reason, Yan Wuxin also felt a touch of reluctance in his heart.
Finally, watching the backs of several people disappear from view, Yan Wuxin raised his head and exhaled deeply, exhaled the parting feelings in his heart, cheered up, looked at the blazing sun, and walked forward.
After crossing the Shicang Bridge, Yan Wuxin came to a familiar place, but here, he saw an unexpected person, so his pace of progress also stopped.
.................................................................................
After yesterday, there were a lot more black-armored guards patrolling in the empty city, and at this moment, outside the south gate, the number of black-armored guards guarding the gate had increased to as many as eight, however, between coming and going, the sea of people entering and leaving the city gate still swallowed these people, but fortunately, after yesterday, the empty city was really quiet, and there was a lot of noise, and the fights and troubles were basically gone.
This also made the soldiers a lot easier.
Entering the south gate, the first thing you see is this Treasure Pavilion, whether it is the prosperity or the city's fame has made the Treasure Pavilion famous, as usual, today's business is still not bad.
At this time, two people came from outside the city, and after passing the city gate, the two stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion.
On closer inspection, the two of them seemed to be a little dusty, and when the two of them walked up to the Treasure Pavilion, one of them asked, "Mud, do we really want to eat again?"
"What are you afraid of, you are too small, we have to get the money back. ”
"Well, listen to the muddy one. ”
