The entire northern territory was stirred by an undercurrent, but there was only one place that was the quietest in this undercurrent, and that was the Craftsman City, a craftsman city without Wu Jie, but it could seem so quiet in the past six months?

"Uncle Shi. Li Qing saluted Bai Yu very respectfully.

Today's Bai Yu is no longer the demeanor of the past, half-bent up, his hair is half-white at some point, and the wrinkled folds on his face are stacked layer by layer.

At this time, Bai Yu was leaning back in the chair and dozing off, and the pen in his hand that had lost a few hairs drew a ghost drawing talisman on the secret letter on the table, and there was a twilight like dead silence all over his body.

Seeing that Bai Yu didn't have any reaction, Li Qing was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly went up to wake him up.

As soon as he walked to Bai Yu's side, Bai Yu suddenly woke up, and when he saw Li Qing beside him, Bai Yu smiled directly and said lightly: "Qing'er is here." ”

Li Qing nodded, and asked with great concern, "Uncle Shi, your body?"

Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand lightly, "It's okay, it's just that I'm old and my spirit is not good, so it's not in the way." ”

Li Qing was helpless, so he could only nod.

"What's wrong?is there something?" Bai Yu asked with a smile.

Li Qing snorted, "How is Lu An doing? I haven't heard from him for more than half a year." ”

As soon as he heard the question about Lu An, Bai Yu shook his head, "It should still be in the Sword Pavilion, if nothing else, he should still be in that Sword Domain." ”

"Why was he able to stay so long? It couldn't be an accident, right?" Li Qing asked uneasily.

Bai Yu shook his head, "I don't know the specific reason, but I don't think it's a bad thing, this kid's luck has always been good, this time maybe he has some good luck, the sword domain is just a tonic for him." ”

Although she didn't quite understand what Bai Yu said, Li Qing knew that this was not a bad thing, so she could only nod her head.

"What about Tang Geng, I haven't seen him for a long time, where have you been lately?" Bai Yu asked in a gentle tone.

Li Qing shook his head, "I don't know, since Uncle Shi made Lord Tang the city lord, Lord Tang has been running out every day, and he has never told us about his whereabouts, but basically he will come back once in a month." ”

Bai Yu chuckled directly, and shook his head helplessly, "Alas, everyone has their own ambitions, so let him go, anyway, I just said it casually, and I didn't really want him to be the city lord." ”

Li Qing directly covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Now that Wu Xie has left the Craftsman City, the clear-eyed people are watching, calculating the time, he has not appeared in the Craftsman City for more than a year, maybe someone has guessed that Wu Xie is no longer the Wu Xie of the Craftsman City, he is almost the Wu Xie of the North, and the recent movements of Taiyizong are particularly obvious, as if he wants to cover up something? It seems that they are competing with the Sword Pavilion to be jealous, but if it is not my expectation, their target may be Wu Jie, if Wu Xie can survive this time, then the name of this half-saint will be well deserved, otherwise, everything is still difficult to say!" Bai Yu had a clear gaze and recounted this matter very calmly.

On the contrary, when Li Qing heard this, his whole person was shocked, "Uncle, what do you mean by this? The city lord is not from the craftsman city? Why?"

"Wu Xie has already stepped into the half-saint realm with half a foot, if it goes well, he may become the only strong man in the half-saint realm in the north for thousands of years within this year, looking at the half-saint in Zhongzhou, and the life span of the half-saint in Zhongzhou is almost up, in other words, in the future, Wu Xie will become the only half-saint in the north, and at that time, will the situation in the five places be directly reversed?" Bai Yu explained seriously.

As soon as he heard the explanation of these words, Li Qing's whole person became excited, "Uncle Shi heard you say this, then aren't our people also a blessing to the city lord, and it can be regarded as a chicken and dog ascending to heaven?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If it goes so well, it will naturally be a good thing, but since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes have been linked, and no one can say how much it will cost to step into the half-saint realm?" For this reason, Wu Xie has already begun to prepare, the first thing is to draw a clear line with the craftsman city, hoping that the craftsman city will not be destroyed because of him in the future, it is precisely because of Wu Jie's initiative to abdicate, so I let Tang Geng succeed as the city lord, but he seems to have guessed something, so he has been twisting and shirking, but all this has nothing to do with you. ”

"Why do I have no relationship? Am I not the heir of the city lord? Even Haoran Qi has taught me?" Li Qing asked puzzled.

Bai Yu sighed again, "You and Lu An are Wu Jie's last sustenance, in order to cut off the cause and effect with the two of you, he has spent a lot of energy, naturally he will not let you suffer any harm because of him, and even the most precious spiritual domain in the Craftsman City has been sent out, for this reason." ”

This directly made Li Qing stunned in place, "How is this possible? Now the city lord has nothing to do with us?"

"Yes for the time being!" Bai Yu nodded back.

This sound really made Li Qing stiffen for a while, and he still couldn't accept it.

"The situation is different, the northern realm is no longer the northern realm it once was, and the same is true for the Great Han, especially in the next two years, no matter what happens, you must not go back to the Great Han, if you go back to the Great Han, then the Li family may die because of you, and Wu Xie may also die because of you! At least wait until he enters the semi-saint realm, otherwise the northern border will be hanging! This is a letter from your grandfather to you!" Bai Yu said and directly handed over the secret letter on the table.

originally thought that Bai Yu was joking, but as soon as he saw the familiar notes on the letter, Li Qing frowned directly, read all the contents honestly, and finally put the letter away with an extremely complicated expression.

"The next two years are extremely important for the Great Han, the Craftsman City, and the North, and you are extremely important to the Craftsman City, so no matter what, you should stay in the Craftsman City honestly, and remember not to leave at will, otherwise if something happens to you, then the future of the Craftsman City will be gone. Bai Yu admonished again.

"Isn't there still Lu An?" Li Qing retorted weakly.

Hearing the name Lu An, Bai Yu smiled, "If he is willing, the future of the Craftsman City must be bright, but unfortunately, we are not worthy of him, his future is more important than all of us combined, and we are not worth his waste." ”

Li Qing's expression didn't know how to describe it, Wu Xie and Bai Yu's evaluation of Lu An was too high.

I still remember that time, Wu Xie deliberately eased her up, although it was to teach Haoran Qi, but the pity in the words was too strong, a feeling of retreating, although it made her a little uncomfortable, but the other party was Lu An, then she was not displeased, and was even willing to serve as a wedding dress for her, but this was her careful thinking.

But she still can't figure out why Lu An makes the two of them value it so much? Is it because of his talent? But the talent of her senior brother should be even better, right?

Why did he receive the opposite treatment? This is something that Li Qing has always wondered about? Why is Lu An so unusual?

"Senior Uncle, I have a question that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, why do you think it is so important, and Senior Brother, you don't care about him at all?" Li Qing's voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes were also dodging.

Bai Yu was also stunned, he didn't expect Li Qing to ask this question, which suddenly made him feel helpless at no knowing where to start, and the whole person lost his mind unconsciously...

"Uncle Shi?"

Li Qing called out in a low voice.

Bai Yu immediately recovered from his state of distraction, with a slight helplessness on his face, "You asked, did you guess something?"

Li Qing shook his head, "I just think Senior Brother is a little pitiful, although he killed people, but the people he killed were all evil people, I don't understand why I want to drive him out of the Craftsman City?

"Are they all wicked people? This is against his will, the dozen or so mansions in the north of the city are still empty, and they are still full of blood and vigor, more than a dozen mansions add up to a total of more than 300 people, no matter the women and children all died tragically, such a thing, Wu Xie did not kill him, it is already considered a blessing, and it can be solved by only dozens of deaths, he has passed, this is a matter of no choice. Bai Yu said with a little pity.

"However, the investigation proved that this was the senior brother who was ambushed by someone, and he was forced to do such a thing, if he didn't work hard, then it would be the senior brother who died, wouldn't this work?" Li Qing's tone unconsciously became heavy.

Bai Yu sighed softly, "Okay, what? What if it doesn't? It's all in the past, or it's too late, what can you care about now?"

"But, so many people died in the Craftsman City at once before, why did Senior Brother have to be punished so harshly?" Li Qing was already anxious and didn't know how to respond.

"How can these two things be compared! Don't ask any more, Hong Ran's matter has its own cause and effect, and this is not something you can solve, so let's stop here today. After Bai Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand directly at Li Qing, signaling that she could leave.

After Li Qing hesitated for a long time, he hummed, nodded directly, turned around and left.

After Li Qing left, the old man walked in with a bowl of medicine, and sighed one after another, "Why don't you tell her the truth?" When are you going to call Hong Ran back?"

Bai Yu took the medicine, blew there like tea, took a sip, then blew again, took another sip, and had no intention of answering the old question.

Lao Fang snorted coldly and left silently.

After everyone left, Bai Yu directly took a sip of the medicine, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely bitter, and he didn't know whether it was the bitterness of the medicine or the bitterness of his heart, because this bitterness was only known to him...
