Chapter 387: Ebony Reappears
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Liu Yuan agreed, and had already reached out to take the thin piece of paper from Dan Tangerine's hand.
After taking a closer look at it now, I have a rough idea in my heart, a small part of which are relatively rare medicinal materials.
The paper has also been divided into several parts, some things are urgently needed, and some things can be found a little later, and even very few have substitutes, all aspects of which have been taken into account by Dantang.
Since he hadn't come back for a long time, Zheng Dongxi had a better understanding of the current situation in Qingchuan than Liu Yuan, so he handed over this page to Wuwu immediately.
The latter is also faster, and it is handed over to Zheng Dongxi to deal with, and Liu Yuan is relieved.
After reading the content on the paper, Zheng Dongxi didn't dare to delay the slightest, and ran towards the backyard gate like a gust of wind, but when he ran to the door, he and Liu Yuan heard the sound of horses' hooves at the same time, and stopped at the front door of the inn.
Several people looked at each other, and there was a faint guess in their hearts about who would come on horseback at this time.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw General Chai standing at the wooden door with a dusty face, raised his hand that was about to knock on the door and slowly put it down, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "I heard that the shopkeeper Liu is back." ”
The tone is gentle, not at all like the general Chai who dominates the battlefield and terrifies the enemy.
If his opponent sees it, it's not that his jaw drops.
"Yes. Zheng Dongxi nodded, and as he spoke, he had already made way of the passage at the door, raised his hand and signaled the paper in his hand and ran away, leaving like a gust of wind.
Looking back at the back of Zheng Dongxi, who was leaving, Chai Tingshan shook his head, and the ten guards around him were guarding the door, and walked towards the door by himself.
After seeing Liu Yuan, Chai Tingshan was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu seems to be in a bad mood, I don't know why I'm worried?"
Liu Yuan's face in front of him was unprecedentedly solemn, and he still felt a little pale.
is far from the grinning Liu Yuan in Chai Tingshan's impression, and he didn't seem to care about anything before.
"My father's business ......" Liu Yuan shook his head and briefly mentioned a few words, reluctant to say more about it.
Chai Tingshan expressed sympathy, and after comforting him for a few more words, he said again: "This is not the place to talk, is the shopkeeper free now?"
Hearing this, Liu Yuan glanced at the door that was closed again, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "General Chai please." ”
After saying that, the two of them walked to the front hall one after the other, and then went directly up the stairs to the spacious room in the center of the third floor.
After the guest and host sat down, he knew that the other party also had something on his mind, and the time was urgent, so Chai Tingshan did not delay, and said straight to the point: "I don't know how long the shopkeeper Liu will stay in Qingchuan when he comes back this time, and what are his plans for the future?"
Planning, what does Chai Tingshan mean by what he wants to ask, Liu Yuan naturally understands, but he just picked a multiple-choice question and put it in front of Liu Yuan's eyes.
Whether to continue to be the shopkeeper of the first inn in the world in a chic and leisurely manner, or to take advantage of this situation, and then meddle in the world's major affairs and the forces of various anti-thieves.
After all, backed by such good resources as the world's first inn, for today's chaotic situation, the operation space is too big.
There is a great tendency to advance, retreat and defend, Liu Yuan has no intention of the situation in the world, if he has the intention to intervene, no matter which force it is, it is a force that cannot be ignored.
The premise is that only he Chai Tingshan is aware of this matter now, and the other party's first inn is also located in Qingchuan County, and he is inherently close to him Chai Jun.
Whether he has the intention to participate or not, the current Chai Tingshan wants to know an exact answer, so that he can rest assured.
And there is nothing to hide about these things themselves, Liu Yuan said whatever he thought, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said directly: "General Chai can rest assured that the purpose of opening this inn in the first place was to collect the news, but it was also to find his father." ”
"Now that my father has been found, and he is still in poor health, where does Liu still have the leisure to take care of other things, let alone meddle in the changing world. ”
Saying that, Liu Yuan shook his head, and the smile on his face was a little bitter.
The other party still believed what Chai Tingshan said, but what the other party said was only the current situation, what about the future, what will be the changes in the future, who can say clearly.
Therefore, Chai Tingshan asked again: "For now, what about after my uncle recovers from his injury?"
"In the future, I'll leave it to the future, I have full confidence in General Chai, and at that time, where will Liu's meager strength be put in the eyes of the general. Liu Yuan replied with a smile.
The scene is very beautiful, but just like that, it is obviously not enough to reassure Chai Tingshan.
I saw Chai Tingshan looking at Liu Yuan without blinking, picking up a steaming cup of tea and pinching it between his thumb and index finger, as if thinking about something very important.
This time was much longer than the previous pause, and Liu Yuan also seemed very patient at this time.
Until he spoke again, he said: "The door of my Chai Tingshan will always be open for the shopkeeper of Liu, whether it is now or in the future." ”
"The position of the underground king around you will always be reserved for you, and in the future, if I Chai Tingshan becomes the co-master of this world, I will allow you to be glorious and rich for a lifetime. At the end, Chai Tingshan also laughed heroically.
This is the first time he has shown his mind in front of Liu Yuan.
Counting history, in fact, it is also the average ambitious person, who loves to paint a big cake bun for those virtuous talents.
When it really comes to the day when the world is the co-ruler, it is difficult to say what will happen to those civil and military generals who have made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country.
In this way, Liu Yuan's heart is like a mirror.
But no matter what he thinks in his heart, at this moment, in this scene, Liu Yuan can feel Chai Tingshan's sincerity and sincerity, and he also smiled, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, if you still need it in the future, if I still have this heart, I will live up to it." ”
"Very well. Chai Tingshan then stood up, stretched out his hands and directly covered Liu Yuan's fist-hugging hands, and shook them hard.
The matter is over here, and there is nothing more to say when you think about it, Chai Tingshan has a lot of things to do, so he said goodbye and left, and rode out of the city on a fast horse and went to the east.
Let the current general of Qingchuan County want to come and talk, but he didn't find a chance, and he directly pounced.
And now there is no Wang Dashanren's family in Qingchuan County, and the Wang family compound has become an empty house.
As for Wang Sheng, it is even more impossible to be here, he is training recruits in Dade County, and when he left, Chai Tingshan didn't tell him that Liu Yuan was back, otherwise that kid would have to follow him for everything.
Wang Sheng is good at everything, but his temper is sometimes really stubborn, and once he gets up, there is a posture that ten cows can't pull back.
It's one of its shortcomings, but no one is perfect, and it's not a big problem, and whatever General Chai says, that kid will still listen.
After sending General Chai out of the inn, Liu Yuan walked to the backyard again, and since Dan Tang went in again, he still hasn't come out, and he doesn't know what his father's state is.
Thinking like this in my heart, I heard a soft sound, and Dongzhu's girl stumbled out of the house.
With a tired look, beads of sweat on his cheeks, he didn't have time to say anything, he walked straight towards the well, picked up the wooden scoop and drank a big sip, and then picked up a handful of water in his hand to wash his face.
After Dongzhu came back to his senses, he asked, "How is it in the house?" ”
"Stabilized, it's better than I expected at the beginning, and now my sister is helping my uncle to treat it inside, and some of the medicinal power in the meridians has been drawn out and sealed, and there will be no more confusion within a month. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yuangang breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to Dongzhu's voice: "However, we still can't be too optimistic, after all, when it comes to the situation in the brain, I can't be careless at all, and I don't know when there will be an unexpected situation." ”
"Therefore, my uncle still can't leave people, and when those medicinal materials arrive, I will continue to observe. ”
After saying this, Dongzhu patted his chest and went to the well to drink water, looking too thirsty.
After getting the confirmed news, Liu Yuan could finally relax a little, and then he just waited quietly for Zheng to come back.
Time passed bit by bit, during which Dongzhu went into the house again, changed the orange and came out, and then the three of them walked out of the house.
Liu Guanzhang's expression was the same as before, and there was no unique change in his face, as if nothing had happened before and after, but he beckoned to Liu Yuan at the first moment he left the house: "Yuan'er, come with me." ”
"Huh. Liu Yuan nodded in agreement.
The two Dan orange sisters looked at the back of the two of them with some concern, and after glancing at each other, they continued to discuss the countermeasures for this disease.
And Liu Yuan and the others went out of the backyard, went upstairs directly, and stopped in front of the locked door on the second floor.
The pendant that has now been integrated into Liu Yuan's palm was found in this house.
Liu Guanzhang also had the key to the house, and after opening the wooden door twice, he stepped into the house, and the big boxes in the house were still in their original positions and had not been touched.
Liu Yuan followed across the threshold, closed the door with his backhand, and after glancing at the environment in the house, he looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what are you bringing me here for?" ”
Of course, he is very familiar with this room, remembering that the first time he set foot here, he found a pendant from the box, Liu Yuan was still a little in a trance for a while, and the experience over the years has a great feeling of being in a different world.
Because he was really curious, he didn't wait for his father to speak, and asked directly: "Dad, what are these boxes for, I opened the box before and took away a pendant, is there any point in that pendant?"
"What pendant?" Liu Guanzhang, who was suddenly interrupted by Liu Yuan, turned around and looked at his son and frowned, obviously not thinking of any pendant for a while.
"It's like, it's like a small boat. Saying that, Liu Yuan also gestured with his hands, and after a bit of nonsense, his father finally suddenly realized, and said: "Ah, you mean that little pendant, I picked it up in the mountains many years ago, it is not important, you can take it." ”
Saying that, he waved his hand indifferently, looking at it, he obviously didn't know the strangeness of the pendant, but Liu Yuan had a doubt in his heart.
"Alright, you come and listen to me. Liu Guanzhang, who was facing away from Liu Yuan, said, and had reached out to open a large box on the far left in front of him.
Then he pointed to the thick stack of books and said, "These are some genealogies and family histories of our Liu family for generations. As he spoke, he took out a copy and handed it to Liu Yuan, with a layer of ash on the surface.
After two taps, I could see the handwriting embroidered with silk thread on it - the genealogy of the Liu family.
For a long time, Liu Yuan thought that there were few people in his family, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a thick family tree.
I flipped to the middle, and there were dense small characters written on it, all of which were personal names, and without looking closely, my father had already opened the second box.
"This box contains some of our Liu family's martial arts, you didn't tell you about your innate pulse before, you can take a look at it now. After Liu Guanzhang finished speaking, he took out a copy and threw it into Liu Yuan's hand.
Let him subconsciously sigh that his father's heart is really big, and the martial arts cheats are locked in a broken room like this, and he is not afraid of being stolen.
Then I thought that there was Uncle Cao in the inn before, but it was not something that ordinary thieves could steal, and then I thought about it, maybe the more things were placed casually, the less they would attract the attention of others.
Before he could read two pages, Liu Guanzhang had already opened the next box, his face looked a little solemn, and he also took out a sign from his arms.
It was the moment this brand appeared, which made Liu Yuan's pupils shrink suddenly, and then his eyes lit up, and he secretly said in his heart: Ebony Tablet!
Yes, this thing is the ebony stele that Liu Yuan had accidentally seen before, and it was also the first half of the 'ebony stele Red Maple Valley' that he learned from Xu Ming's mouth.
"What I'm going to say after that involves the real secret of our Liu family. Liu Guanzhang raised the ebony tablet in his hand and said deliberately in a voice transmission way.
But what happened before and after always made Liu Yuan feel creepy, as if his father was explaining what was going on.
"Dad, I'm still young, and I don't have to know some things so early." ”
"I can't wait, this strange disease, I don't know when your father and I may completely lose my memory. ”
"Okay, I've decided, no need to say more. Liu Guanzhang's voice was a little hoarse.
waved his hand and said, "And these, you have to read them together with the Liu family genealogy in your hand." Liu Guanzhang stretched out his hand and pointed to the ancient book in Liu Yuan's hand.
"Turn to the second page and look at line 16...... Page 8, line 22...... Page 68 55......"
"Ebony Monument, Red Maple Valley...... That's the ...... of the eight families, including our Liu family."
