Looking back at this time, Qi Jingzhi still remembered that he had curiously asked Grandpa what kind of good day he had made such a sumptuous meal, but he didn't get an answer from Grandpa.

Now Qi Laohan told him in this letter that the reason why the meal that day was rich was because he had to go on a long trip, so he had to celebrate his grandson's sixteenth birthday in advance.

Qi Laohan said that according to the "Great Qi Law", a man who reaches the age of 16 is counted as a Ding, and he can set up a household and be the master of the house. If there is any errand service such as fighting tigers or even military service on the border, the grandson will have to enlist in place of Grandpa. z.br>

Because of this, when he heard his grandson say at the birthday banquet that he would go deep into the mountains in order to practice martial arts and eat meat in the future, Qi Laohan did not open his mouth to stop it.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi didn't feel sorry for missing the mountain Jiao, Qixiang and shaking the cow's head at all, he only hated himself for being absent-minded at the beginning, thinking about cultivation while gobbling it up, and he had never carefully tasted the family banquet that was of great significance and irreplaceable by any delicacies.

Looking further back, Qi Laohan was chattering in the letter, but the meaning he wanted to express was very clear, that is, the future route was for Qi Jingzhi to go by himself.

As for Qi Laohan's own whereabouts, he only said that he wanted to complete an uncontested thing, and told Qi Jingzhi not to worry about looking for it, if he could survive, he would naturally go home, if there was still no news after three or five years...... Just when he's dead!

After reading the letter, where can Qi Jingzhi sit still, but he doesn't know what he can do at the moment.

He turned back to the pages written by Meng Fuzi in the previous part, and after reading the content mentioned in the latter part, his brow became more and more furrowed.

Meng Fuzi said in the letter that Qi Laohan had never left Songling County except for a few conscriptions in his life, and if there was anything unfinished, it should have happened during those military service, but he went to the county government to check the relevant volumes of that year, and did not find any unusual records.

Later, Meng Fuzi remembered Qi Jingzhi's deceased father, and after a check, he was surprised to find that the relevant records about his death in battle were empty, and then he found the scribe who handled the matter back then to ask for details.

The scribe was very old, and he was already lying on the bed waiting for death, and it was difficult to recall that hundreds of young people sent to serve in Songling County had not survived that time, and the relevant military books and documents were completely lost after being transferred by the Demon Suppression Commander's Office, and no one knew how those people died in battle, and when and where they died.

The clue was broken at this point, Meng Fuzi only said that he was trying to ask someone to inquire, but the person said lightly, and the matter was obviously strange, and there was a gap of more than ten years in the middle, and I was afraid that it would not be possible to find out for a while.

Unconsciously, Qi Jingzhi's eyes were already red.

The people of Daqi usually had two conscription periods, the first time was mostly in the prefecture and county, and the second time was to garrison the capital or go to the border town.

At that time, Qi Jingzhi's mother was pregnant with Liujia, and his father had obviously applied for two expeditions, but he wanted to earn more family business for his unborn son, and even fight for a background, so he left Qi Jingzhi with that bull-eared sharp knife, and went out to enlist in the army.

Qi Jingzhi's mother was too sad, and she died not long after giving birth to him.

Qi Jingzhi once heard Qi Laohan say that his father was still guarding the border that time, but every time he asked which border town he was guarding, Qi Laohan just shook his head and said nothing.

"Demon Suppression Captain's Office? How can this Demon Suppression Courtyard take care of the affairs of the husband and the border?"

Qi Jingzhi was anxious, but he still read the letter patiently.

Meng Fuzi said in the end, because the matter is big, he has privately entrusted his colleagues, and implored the Yin Si of the front line from Linzhou to Liaozhou to help pay attention to Qi Jingzhi's movements, and once he saw someone, he asked him to rush back to Songling County, but he was afraid that his status was low, and no one was willing to help, so he still sent the letter to the city god of Jiuzhen County, Liaozhou, so that Qi Jingzhi could reply to the letter immediately.

"I went around from Chaozhou, I'm afraid I missed it, and the closer I get to Liaozhou, the fewer ghosts and gods who are willing to sell Meng Fuzi's face, and it is not easy to deliver this letter smoothly."

Qi Jingzhi immediately suppressed all kinds of distractions in his heart, and begged the temple to ask for a pen and paper for Meng

The Master wrote a reply.

The main meaning is one, please ask Meng Fuzi to quickly ask Liu Muzhi of the Gongcao of the Huaide County Town Demon Capital Lieutenant Office about this matter, even if the other party has been reappointed to the county, he should also send a letter to the Songling County Ya, please pay more attention to Meng Fuzi.

As for Qi Jingzhi himself, he naturally ended the matter in Liaozhou as soon as possible and rushed back as quickly as possible.

He handed the letter to Miao Zhu, took out Jiao Yulang's money bag, poured all the remaining golden melon seeds into Miao Zhu's hand, and said goodbye after Yin Yin's trust.

Seeing that the sun has risen, the street finally has some popularity, especially as the City God Temple was called open by Qi Jingzhi, and the surrounding shops have also removed their door panels one after another.

Although it was still early at night, Qi Jingzhi had no intention of waiting until it was dark, so he immediately thought about it for a while, and went to sit down in an empty restaurant not far away, and gave the guy in the store a copper coin as a reward, and asked him to invite Wei Bao over for a while.

The guy had already been bluffed by the madarato slave lying at the door, how dare he ask for any reward, respectfully placed it on Qi Jingzhi's table, turned his head and ran out of the store.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant walked over tremblingly, with a hundred and twenty-thousand caution on his face, and asked Qi Jingzhi and the treasure horse outside what they wanted to eat.

When the word "treasure horse" was mentioned, the shopkeeper's eyes were even more vigorous to Madara Nu, with a strange appearance that he didn't dare to look at and forced himself to look.

Seeing him behave like this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but think of the extra attention that the Gu team was paying to Bannu before, as well as the wariness and hostility that the guards showed when they heard about their identity as a demon suppressor.

He immediately asked, "Shopkeeper, what happened in the city last night?" How can I look at the deserted streets?"

"The guest officer doesn't know?"

With a look of horror on his face, the shopkeeper deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Last night, a tengu landed at the east gate and smashed the city gate! Now it has spread throughout the entire Jiuzhen County City, saying that it is ...... Say yes......"

Seeing that the other party wanted to stop talking, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but ask, "What do you say?"

"It is said that once the tengu is born, there will be a catastrophe of blood! In order to eliminate the disaster, the lord of the kingdom specially sent the master of the Demon Suppression Temple to follow behind the tengu, and drove a kind of evil ghost called "Fen" to dig out the hearts and livers of the living to bribe the tengu and prevent it from becoming angry!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the more he talked, the more scared he became, and his face was even more pale.
