Chapter 102: Returning to Fengyang
In this way, more than ten days passed in this butterfly valley, and Ji Xiaofu's knife wound gradually healed, and there was no obstacle to running the moves.
Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu have also recovered, and Yang Xiao told a few people that he planned to leave for the main altar of the Ming Sect.
Yin Li and Yang Buregret are both full of expectations and can't wait to set off now.
Zhang Wuji and Ji Xiaofu were born in Wudang Emei, and they don't know the depth of this Guangming Ding General Altar, and people in the rivers and lakes say that it is where the Demon Sect's demon cave is located, so they can't help but feel a little apprehensive.
As for Wang Nangu and Hu Qingniu, although they are ready to retire to the rivers and lakes and ignore the world, after all, this butterfly valley is where the two live, and they are a little nostalgic when they say they want to leave at this time.
Yang Xiao sent Zhang Wuji to the surrounding towns and rented a few carts, in addition to the carriage that Yang Xiao rode in this valley, there were also a few healthy horses left by Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan and others.
Yang Xiao didn't instruct Zhang Wuji to be lazy, but Zhang Wuji grew up on Ice and Fire Island since he was a child and didn't know anything about the world.
After returning to the Central Plains, he lived in Wudang and Butterfly Valley, and had too little experience in the rivers and lakes and various social affairs, but fortunately he was loyal, honest and diligent and studious, so Yang Xiao had the heart to train him, and some small things were all handed over to Zhang Wuji to deal with.
In the early morning of this day, Hu Qingniu and his wife loaded all kinds of medicine boxes and medical boxes to be taken away from the valley into the carriage, and brought all the precious medicinal materials collected all the year round.
The four medicine boys in the Butterfly Valley also brought them together, first, Hu Qingniu was used to it, and now there were soldiers and horses outside and starvation everywhere, and several medicine boys also took Hu Qingniu with him.
Yang Xiao thought that although they were not proficient in medical skills, and their various medical skills were far inferior to Zhang Wuji, they were also familiar with Hu Qingniu, which was better than people who had no foundation at all.
When Hu Qingniu came out of the valley, he looked at the various medicinal herbs and strange flowers in this full valley, and sighed: "It's a pity that these herbs are all good medicinal materials that I have carefully cultivated, and I can't take them away, I'm afraid that they will be abandoned in the future." ”
Yang Xiao comforted him: "You don't need to worry about this, when you get to Fengyang City in front, I will inform the middle brothers to take good care of this place." ”
Glancing around the Butterfly Valley, Yang Xiao said: "Besides, this place is extremely secretive, and it is very suitable to be a Tibetan Soldier Valley, although this sect must accumulate strength for two years, keep its light and cultivate obscurity, and not have a head-on conflict with the Yuan Court." However, it happened that in this butterfly valley, he secretly trained elite soldiers, built weapons, and hoarded food, and when there was an incident in the future, he would suddenly surprise the army, and Yuan Ting would definitely not be able to resist it. ”
Hu Qingniu sighed and said: "The sect leader is far-sighted and has the world in mind, but I am too petty!"
Yang Xiao laughed: "I'm just coveting your Butterfly Valley, where is there any foresight, but when it comes to having the world in mind and undoubtedly calculating, there is a strange person, but it's a pity that I can't find him!"
Hu Qingniu was surprised: "Who actually got such an evaluation from the sect master?"
Yang Xiao smiled mysteriously and said: "I have already asked Zhang Zhong to find him, there should be news soon, maybe you will be able to see him when you go to the main altar." ”
Hu Qingniu saw that Yang Xiao deliberately sold a pass, and he didn't break the casserole to ask the end, and followed Yang Xiao to the outside of the valley, his steps were brisk, and he no longer had the melancholy just now.
All of them rode in a carriage, four carriages in front and behind, Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu's family in the front, Hu Qingniu and his wife and Zhang Wuji Yinli in the back, followed by those medicine boys, and a carriage at the back, which was full of some medicinal herbs and some cooking utensils, tents, pots and bowls and other things.
Yang Xiao was not as eager as he was when he came, and there were mostly women, children and children in the group, so the journey was not fast, and there were stops and stops along the way.
When he arrived at Fengyang City, Yang Xiao led everyone straight to West Street in front, turned a corner along the street, and saw a house in front of him with brilliant lights, bright as day, the houses were majestic, and the words "willow house" were mentioned on the lintel.
Yang Xiao climbed the stairs and knocked on the vermilion lacquer door, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper came out, Yang Xiao did not speak, only handed a piece of the "Iron Flame Order" inside, the man saw the iron plate carved into the shape of a flame with gold wire, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly opened the door and said: "You please!"
Soon, a group of people came out, led by a man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, broad forehead, shining eyes, luxurious clothes, bowing down, and said respectfully: "Wang Qingji, the master of the Fengyang branch altar subordinate to the master of the Tianzi Gate, greets the sect master!"
Yang Xiao smiled and reached out to help him up. He once secretly asked Saikri to check Zhu Yuanzhang, focusing on Fengyang City.
Later, although it was found that Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer in Fengyang, Saikri still ordered his right-hand man Wang Qingji to come here to collect believers and develop his power.
On the same day in the Linhuai Pavilion Restaurant in Fengyang City, Yang Xiao left a secret signal of the Mingjiao Flame Totem, and later he made a big fuss in the restaurant, killing so many people, and those few darts were all injured.
This matter naturally can't be hidden from someone with a heart, Wang Qingji really saw the flame totem later, knew that it was left by someone in the Ming Sect, and found out that person asked the direction of Butterfly Valley and left.
Wang Qingji hurriedly came to the Butterfly Valley to inspect, and he was noticed by Yang Xiao before he entered the valley, so he learned Yang Xiao's identity.
At that time, there was nothing to do in the valley, and Yang Xiao didn't let him bother, but just told him that he was going to Fengyang City in the future and asked him to prepare in advance.
At this time, the news that Yang Xiao took over as the deputy head of the Ming Sect had also been conveyed to all the branch altars, so after Wang Qingji received the order, he naturally went all out and vacated the willow house early, waiting for Yang Xiao to come.
The owner of this willow house, Liu Changfeng, is a wealthy businessman in Fengyang, once a bandit sought his goods, robbed his thirteen-year-old son, and after extorting a huge amount of money, he wanted to kill someone, and was rescued by Wang Qingji.
Liu Changfeng was grateful, and later Wang Qingji helped him resolve several crises, so he joined the Ming Sect, he was rich and powerful, and Wang Qingji also gained a lot of convenience.
Wang Qingji led the way in front and led a few people into the Liu Mansion, and there were already some servants and attendants who came up to lead the carriage to the backyard.
Yang Xiao asked, "What about this Liu Changfeng person?"
Wang Qingji said: "I was afraid of disturbing the sect leader's rest, so I arranged him in another courtyard." ”
Yang Xiao shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, he is the master and we are guests, how can we occupy the magpie's nest? Since this Liu Changfeng has entered my Ming Sect and opened the incense altar to worship your Lei Zi Gate, then he is also a brother in the sect, and it is impossible to say that he does not say hello when he comes to the master's house, so you invite him." ”
Wang Qingji took the order and left, and Yang Xiao settled Ji Xiaofu and Yang Buregret and came to the front hall, he brought Zhang Wuji and Yin Li to accompany him, intending to cultivate them.
This Liu Changfeng's name seems to be a chivalrous name, but in fact, he is a short and fat middle-aged man, who looks a little kind, and often has a smile on his face.
Wang Qingji was afraid that he would lose his manners, so he told him Yang Xiao's identity in advance, Liu Changfeng only heard him say that he was a big man in the sect earlier, but he didn't know that it was actually the deputy sect leader who came in person.
Hearing that Yang Xiao wanted to see him, he trotted all the way from the backyard, his head was already slightly sweaty, and he hurriedly paid homage to Dali after seeing Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao asked the flame totem to return the salute to him seriously, and then pulled him up and said: "I heard Wang Qingji say that you have a good family and a good reputation around here, and you know that you are unwilling to go along with the Yuan Court. ”
Liu Changfeng didn't dare to say anything, Yang Xiao said: "I passed by Fengyang City to come to you to pause for a night, and your house is restless because I am tired, I really don't want to go." ”
He knew that at this time, Liu Changfeng's family had already moved to another courtyard, and it would be very inappropriate to let them come back again, so he didn't mention it, but only apologized to him.
