"Eat it, Xiao Wuxi, Sister Yiqing is right!" A gentle and tactful voice suddenly sounded behind him. Xu Ke didn't have to look back to know that it was naturally Hu Yiyi.

"I'm back......! Sister," Xu Ke said happily.

"Well, I'm back......" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but lower her head slightly, she knew in her heart that what Xu Ke was going to call her was a "Yiyi".

Hu Yiyi immediately said: "Xiao Wuxi, you should eat this bear bile, it can stop bleeding and remove poison, and it will be of great benefit to your leg injury!"

"Hmm!" Xu Ke obediently put the half-palm-sized bear bile into his mouth, only to feel a bitter and fishy taste coming, he hurriedly swallowed hard, and swallowed the whole bear bile into his stomach.

Seeing this, Yiqing was unhappy in his heart. She "hum!" and said coldly: "Sister Xiaoyan, we have worked hard to fight a bear bile, but we have been treated by others! I think, let's not stay here, save yourself from getting in the way of other people's affairs......" With that, she pulled Murong Yan's hand, and the two went back to the room.

Looking at the backs of Yiqing and Murong Yan in the distance, Xu Ke scratched his forehead and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yiyi, don't be angry, she is like this......"

"How could I be angry? If it weren't for Sister Yiqing, we wouldn't even be able to find a place to live today!" Hu Yiyi still had a smile in her eyes, and said to Xu Ke again: "Ah Ke, I found some white cloth in the East Market today. Let's go back to my room with my sister, your wounds still need to be cleaned!"

"This ...... I can't hurt my leg tightly, how can I bother my sister to do these pickled things for me!" Xu Ke was embarrassed.

"If you say that again, sister, I'm going to be angry!" Hu Yiyi pretended to be disgusted.

Xu Ke couldn't help it, and he was still about to shirk it, but Yao Zibei on the side pushed him out of the stove and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you better hurry up and let Sister Yiyi heal your leg injury! If the wound is not cleaned, it will suppurate and rot in the future, but it will become a rotten leg." If you have an extra rotten stinky leg, Sister Yiyi won't let you go to her bed in the future!"

Hearing Yao Zibei's words, Hu Yiyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. Xu Ke hurriedly and obediently followed Hu Yiyi towards Hazel Lingju. He was afraid that if he stayed for a while, Yao Zibei would say some "fierce and spicy" words in his mouth.

After Xu Ke returned to Hazelin, Hu Yiyi brought a large bucket of hot water, and according to yesterday's method, he untied the cloth strip on Xu Ke's leg, helped him clean it again, and then bandaged it again. It's just that this time, the medicinal power of the long-horned essence has passed, and Xu Ke saw that Hu Yiyi was busy up and down, and he felt inexplicably ashamed in his heart, but he didn't have any other thoughts......

At this time, it was already the beginning of the evening, and Yao Zibei was busy in the stove, planning to cook a sumptuous dinner for everyone. It happened that Dongshan and Beiling and the other four also returned to the Xu Mansion. When the four of them saw the fat old bear, they were all overjoyed, so they helped Zibei to peel the skin and bones of the black bear, chop it up and cook it......

Not long after, Yiqing and Murong Yan also came to the stove. Several women asked Dongshan and the others to go back to the room to rest, they were busy for a while, and finally cooked a bear meat feast for everyone.

At the right time, the nine people in Xu's house sat down together in the Wenyu Pavilion in the back garden. One of the stone tables is filled with dishes made by Yao Zibei and others, such as steamed bear paws, boiled bear meat, fried bear liver, and bear bone broth. This sumptuous "Hundred Bear Banquet" made everyone salivate in their mouths and thundered in their stomachs.

"Let's eat!" After Yiqing gave an order, everyone was not polite, stretched out their chopsticks, stretched out their hands, grabbed the bear meat on the table, put it in their mouths and chewed it. At this time, there was no wine around, so Xu Ke and Dongshan and others made wine with water, pushed the cup, and ate happily......

During the banquet, Xu Ke asked Yiqing about the current situation in Chang'an City. Yiqing didn't have a lot of rice, and after drinking some bear bone soup, he simply put down the dishes and chopsticks, and told everyone about the changes in Chang'an City over the years.

It turned out that on the first day of June ten years ago, there was a sudden great change between heaven and earth, and the world suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. On that day, a strong earthquake occurred everywhere in almost the entire land of Shenzhou. At the same time as the earthquake, many mountains somehow poured out of the earth, and a huge "magic cave" on the top of the mountain constantly spewed black smoke outward. The billowing smoke was endless, and gradually obscured the entire clear sky. As the daylight was blocked, the earth fell into darkness, and all kinds of never-before-seen "demonic beasts" suddenly appeared everywhere in the world. Those monsters bite when they see people, and eat them when they meet people...... Almost overnight, everyone's fortunes changed dramatically.

On that day, after a strong earthquake that lasted for a day and a night, Chang'an City was almost reduced to ruins, with countless dead and wounded. At that time, Li Chongsheng, the emperor of the Great Qiankang Yuan, as well as most of the concubines, palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, were not spared, and all of them were buried under the catastrophe. In addition to the death of the emperor, most of the other princes did not escape this catastrophe. Li Jin, King of Wei, Li Zuo, King of Han, Li E, King of Yue, Li Tang, King of Song...... Including Li Zhi, the imprisoned king of Chu, and Li Ren, the crown prince who was deposed as a concubine, all suffered hardships. Only one prince survived, and he was the eighth prince, King Li of Jin.

Li Ci, the king of Jin, was quite talented, but after the catastrophe, he was not discouraged, but instead contained and united a group of old ministers, and took the remnants of the army to fight against the monsters. He ordered people to raise supplies everywhere, fought hard to rescue the victims, and rebuilt Chang'an City on top of the ruins.

After more than half a year of reconstruction, Chang'an City stands again in this "demonized" world. And Li Ci was also supported by the ministers, and in the year after the catastrophe, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and the era name was Jingyi......

After Li Xi ascended the throne, the temple of the former emperor Li Chongsheng was named "Holy Sect". He adheres to Kang Yuan's legacy, handles political affairs conscientiously, and treats his subordinates modestly

Ceremony, quite a father's legacy. The people who were lucky enough to survive in the world heard that the new emperor had ascended the throne and was still a benevolent monarch who loved the people like a son, so they all came to Chang'an from all over the country to defect. After more than nine years of hard work, the walls of Chang'an City have been continuously heightened and reinforced, and finally become the strongest fortress against the invasion of demonic beasts. The number of people in the city has also increased to more than 10,000 households, making it more than 30,000 people......

Xu Ke nodded his head when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Miss Yiqing, since there is an emperor and an era name in Chang'an City today, what day is it today?"

Yiqing said: "Today, it should be, the second day of the first month of the tenth year of Jingyi, and now it is the time of unitary." ”

Yao Zibei clapped his hands and said: "Today is the second day of the first lunar month! Then yesterday is the first day! Sister Yiqing, let's all have this 'bear meat feast' today, but it's the right season!"

Yiqing replied with a smile: "Isn't it! We can also be regarded as Chang'an who entered on the first day of the new year, which is a good sign! It's a pity that those people in Xuchang City last night ...... Cough!" Speaking of this, Yiqing suddenly sighed again, remembering that she had attracted the White Rat Demon King's demon soldiers to raid, she felt sorry in her heart.

Murong Yan and the others couldn't help but think of the tragic fight last night, and the Xuchang residents who had accompanied them for many years were also speechless for a while......

Xu Ke hurriedly diverted the topic, and then asked again: "Miss Yiqing, is Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yi, also serving in the court of Daqian now? What kind of official position is he? King of Jin...... Does the emperor think very highly of him?"

Yiqing said: "At the moment, the most important thing around the emperor is the two of them. One is Sun Shunde, the chief prime minister, and the other is Shen Huan, his 'demon subduing general'! These two people are one scholar and one martial artist, and they can be described as the right and left hands of the emperor today!"

Xu Ke said: "'Demon Suppression General'? There is such an official position? That's a ...... How many products?"

Yiqing glared at Xu Ke, and said angrily: "Silly wood! You said that this is still Chang'an ten years ago......! How many civil and military ministers can he have under his command? I heard that the total number of soldiers guarding Chang'an City is less than 3,000. There are only about 30 civil and military generals, and you have to divide them...... How many products?"

Xu Ke scratched his forehead and said, "So that's the case...... Miss Yiqing, do you know what kind of character this Shen Huan is?"

Hu Yiyi said: "Xiao Wuxi, what kind of person Shen Huan is, don't you know?"

Xu Ke said: "Sister, when Shen Huan was the governor of Tsing Yi in the past, he was naturally not a good person. However, now that the world has changed greatly, he can win the trust of the emperor and be named a 'demon general', perhaps, he has also changed?"

Yi Qing said: "You're right! General Shen used to be the governor of Tsing Yi Wei, I don't know what kind of person he was at that time? However, now, the people of the whole city respect him as a god! Over the years, if General Shen hadn't led the soldiers to defend the city desperately, subduing demons and killing monsters everywhere, maybe Chang'an City would have been lost a long time ago!"

Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh: "What a General Shen! I can't imagine that he will change so much in ten years! If he really becomes a hero who protects the territory and the people, the next time we meet, I, Xu Ke, will definitely toast him three times!"

Yiqing said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry! Look at the way he looked when he saw you this morning, he will definitely come to look for you in person! Right now, there are not many people who can use swords, kill demons and fight monsters......

......

After everyone ate for a while, Yao Zibei asked: "Sister Yiqing, we have long heard that Chang'an City has been rebuilt, but we didn't expect it to be built so magnificently! When we entered the city today, we saw that the city wall was even taller than before the earthquake.

Yiqing waved his hand and said, "I don't know about this! I heard that it was a master who suddenly came to Chang'an City eight years ago. Under his own efforts, in less than ten months, the walls of Chang'an City were doubled in height and width! Since then, no other kind of demonic beast has been able to climb the city wall. After that, more and more people took refuge in Chang'an City from all directions......"

Yiqing said again: "However, this is just heard. Now the people in Chang'an City, but everyone praises the emperor, and they all say that he personally led people to supervise the construction, so that there is today's towering city wall!"

Yao Zibei was puzzled: "Is the emperor of today so powerful? These four tall city walls add up to dozens of miles long, and they are all made of huge stones. The 30,000 inhabitants of the city alone could build such a wall?...... I still don't believe it!"

Hu Yiyi said with a smile: "Perhaps, then the Jin King Li Xi may really have any extraordinary ability, otherwise, this catastrophe, all the princes are suffering, why is he the only King of Jin fine?"

Yiqing said: "That's not it, in addition to Li Xi, the king of Jin, there is also the eldest brother of Li Yi, the king of Zhao, and the sister of the seventeenth princess Li Qi...... They all survived. ”

"Brother Li Yi, Li Qi?" Xu Ke hurriedly asked, "Are they all still alive?"

"You're in a hurry!" Yiqing glanced at Xu Ke again, and then said slowly: "The seventeenth princess Li Qi is my senior sister's apprentice, she happened to stay with my senior sister Yichen that day, fortunately escaped the catastrophe, and now Sister Li Qi seems to be in Yanzhou City." As for Li Yi, the king of Zhao, the people all thought he was dead, and only one person knew that he was actually still alive in the world!"

Xu Ke asked, "Who knows he is alive?"

Yiqing was silent for a moment, but pointed to himself and said, "It's me!"

"Huh?" Xu Ke scratched his forehead and said puzzledly: "That's it."

It's just that you know that Brother Li Yi is still alive? So...... Dare to ask Miss Yiqing, where is King Zhao at this time?" He remembered that before he entered the Divine King Pavilion, he still received the Divine King Order from King Zhao. At that time, Li Yi, the king of Zhao, walked in the heavy rain, and Xu Ke still couldn't help but be fascinated when he recalled his appearance......

Yiqing said in a low voice: "I just know that he is still alive, as for where the others are, in the past ten years, I have searched all over the place, but I have found nothing......"

Xu Ke saw the look on Yiqing's face, and suddenly became quite melancholy. He expected that Yiqing and King Zhao must be old friends, and the relationship should be unusual. Seeing that Yiqing didn't want to elaborate, he didn't ask any more questions at the moment.

......

The crowd ate the food for a while and drank a few sips of water. At this time, it was Dongshan's turn to sit in the corner, and he couldn't help but ask Yiqing:

"Miss Yiqing, I heard just now that the seventeenth princess is in Yanzhou at this time, right?"

Yiqing saw that Dongshan would also ask questions, and he was very surprised, so he said: "Yes! What, you also know Sister Li Qi?"

Dongshan hurriedly said: "How can I know the seventeenth princess in Xia? I just want to ask the girl, can I know which hero the city lord of Yanzhou is?"

Yi Qing pondered for a while, and replied, "Well, I only know that the city lord of Yanzhou is also a hero among people. I heard that there are no demonic beasts in the land of Yanzhou City for hundreds of miles! I can know that the city lord's kung fu must be quite remarkable! However, I don't know who his surname is......

Dongshan said: "Don't hide it from Miss Yiqing, my four brothers walked around Chang'an City today, but they heard that the city lord of Yanzhou was the former young pavilion master of my Tianbao Pavilion. I wonder if the girl has heard about it?"

"Yes!" Yiqing heard this, immediately slapped the table, and said: "I remember, last year, Sister Li Qi also sent someone from Yanzhou to send me a lot of good goods. I asked him who the current city lord of Yanzhou was, and he said that the city lord was from the former Tianbao Pavilion......"

"My second brother is in Yanzhou?" At this moment, it was Murong Yan's turn next to Yiqing who couldn't sit still. She asked eagerly, "Sister Yiqing, Brother Dongshan, are you sure that Yanzhou City Lord is my second brother?"

"This is not necessarily, he could be your second brother, or could he be another figure in your Tianbao Pavilion?" Yi Qing said busily.

Murong Yan couldn't help but bow her head speechlessly, falling into deep thought.

Dongshan also hurriedly replied: "Second Miss don't worry, my four brothers plan to go north tomorrow and go to Yanzhou City to find out......"

"No, the injuries on your body have not healed yet, and it is eight hundred miles away to Yanzhou, and the road is too dangerous! You can't go!" Murong Yan immediately shook his head and said.

"Second Miss......" Dongshan wanted to speak and stopped, at this time, in front of everyone, it was not good for him to argue with his own young lady for the matter of their Tianbao Pavilion.

Xu Ke also comforted: "Yan'er, you don't have to worry, if it is really your second brother who is in Yanzhou City, it will also be a blessing for the people." When he is free, I will accompany you to Yanzhou City and personally visit Brother Murong......"

Yiqing pursed his lips and said, "You, come on, you better fix your rotten wooden leg first." That Yanzhou is located in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, even if you are not afraid of the cold with this sick wood, my little sister Yan can't stand it!"

"That's right......! I forgot!" Xu Ke replied.

Murong Yan raised her head, looked in the direction of the north, and couldn't help but worry: "Yanzhou City is so cold, my second brother ...... It must have suffered a lot. Although his kung fu is good, why should he stay in that extremely cold place?"

Yi Qing said: "Who knows? I heard that the two of them live in Yanzhou, and this little life is quite good! A few years ago, a big fat son was added......

"Husband and wife?" Murong Yan said happily: "Sister Yiqing, you mean that my second brother and the seventeenth princess have become husband and wife, and now, they live together in Yanzhou City and have a son?!"

"Yes!" Yiqing replied: "However, whether Li Qi's sister's husband is your second brother or not, I can't say for sure!"

"That must be true!" Murong Yan said to herself. She faintly felt in her heart that the Yanzhou City Lord that Yiqing was talking about must be her second brother. Just because after her second brother rescued her from Chang'an, she also asked if their father, brother, and younger brother had escaped? At that time, her second brother was silent and sad for a long time. She had already guessed in her heart that those people were naturally not spared. At that time, her second brother was in a hurry, but he could only save her alone......

......

......

In this "Hundred Bears Banquet", everyone ate very happily. The nine of them ate and chatted from the time of unitary time to the end of the day, until the cups and plates on the stone table were in a mess, and even the big broth of bear bones at the bottom of the basin had been drunk, and then everyone said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

That night, Xu Ke still stayed in Hu Yiyi's room. Somehow, as long as Xu Ke smells the breath of a woman on Hu Yiyi's body, he can sleep exceptionally well.

This night, he slept leisurely, snorted deeply, and had no dreams all night......

Just after midnight the next day, Xu Ke was still asleep, but was gently woken up by Hu Yiyi. I only heard Hu Yiyi look into Xu Ke's ear and said softly:

"Ah Ke, don't sleep anymore! someone is coming to look for you......"

"Who is it? No, I'm going to sleep a little longer......" Xu Ke rolled over and lay down again.

"Lazy pig!" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, but her expression was still full of smiles.

The smile on that face is like the spring rain moistening the flowers, and like the sea soothing the beach, as if it can contain everything in the world......
