"Aunt——" Chen Luo couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this. Although he was also an orphan, he still had his blind grandfather, old Chentou, and Uncle Feng.
"Brother Rui!" Zhang Yilian reached out and grabbed Yu Rui's hand to stop talking.
"Xiaoluo has a special status and has grown up. It's better to know more about some things." Yu Rui had no intention of stopping.
"Xiaoluo, you are originally from a royal family, and you don't know much about the sufferings of the people! Originally, if nothing happened to your father, the throne of the Daqi royal family would belong to your father, and you would also be the crown prince. According to this
If you continue to develop, one day you will be in the ninth position, caring about the people of the world, and needing to be responsible for governing the country and ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, the old blind man hopes that no matter where you go, no matter what level you reach, even if you are not in this supreme position
In your position, don’t forget the mission of the Minghuang family!”
"Grandpa, Xiaoluo, remember grandpa's teachings!" Chen Luo nodded and said!
"Grandpa, how did you and your aunt meet?"
"It's a long story. About forty years ago, old blind man I went to the Northern Plateau on a mission and met your Aunt Yilian. At that time, she was just eighteen years old and was being bullied by bullies and was about to be sold into a brothel.
, Fortunately, I met the old blind man, so I fought hard and rescued Yi Lian."
"What about my aunt's relatives?"
"Later, after I settled your aunt, I went back to find the bully and tortured her severely."
"I heard from the bully that Yi Lian's father, brother and sister-in-law were forced into desperation and jumped off a cliff to their death!"
"Later, I took your aunt to search under the cliff, but no body was found, no one alive. Your aunt had no choice but to give up, and then followed me south, and joined the Taiping Tao organization!"
"You probably know what happened next. I didn't expect that Yi Lian's talent was amazing. In just a few decades, not only did he inherit the position of Heavenly Master, but he also made Taiping Dao's operation prosperous!"
"Auntie, no bodies were found under the cliff, maybe they are not dead?" Chen Luo said.
"At first, I also had this idea. Afterwards, my aunt sent people to search for him for many years, but no news was found. Finally, I gradually gave up on this idea."
"Aunt, grandpa, what are their names?" Chen Luo turned to look at Heavenly Master Zhang Yilian.
"My father's name is Zhang Beitu, my brother's name is Zhang Yishan! My sister-in-law's name is——"
"Zhang Yishan!" Chen Luo was shocked!
"Auntie, I've seen them!" Chen Luo suddenly remembered the old boatman from Fenglinghe and his granddaughter Zhang Wenxiu. Chen Luo remembered that the old boatman's grandfather said that Wenxiu's father was named Zhang Yishan and Wenxiu's aunt was named Zhang Yilian!
Yes, isn't my aunt's given name exactly Shangzhang and Xiayilian? Why didn't I think of it at the time? I always felt that the name looked familiar.
"Where did you see it?" Zhang Yilian's face was shaken, and her eyes were shining, as if she saw hope all of a sudden.
Chen Luo told the two elders in detail how he rescued Zhang Wenxiu and treated the old boatman on Fenglingdu. Unexpectedly, the grandfather and grandson he rescued turned out to be from his aunt's family. And this girl Wenxiu turned out to be her aunt.
's niece.
Chen Luo took out the pen and paper again, and based on his memories, he made several strokes, and the appearance of the old man came to life vividly on the paper.
Zhang Yilian gently touched the portrait, her eyes filled with tears, "It looks like! It's so similar!" Although decades passed, Zhang Yilian still recognized it at a glance. This old man was his father.
"Great! Congratulations to Yi Lian, you have found your relative." Yu Rui said happily.
"Xiaoluo! Thank you for saving them!" Zhang Yilian looked at Xiaoluo sincerely.
"Ahem - Auntie, Xiaoluo knew earlier and should have sent them here in person!" Xiaoluo didn't expect that he managed to save his aunt's relatives.
"But there is no need to worry, aunt. Xiaoluo left money for grandpa at that time. Grandpa said that he would take Wenxiu to the Central Plains to look for his daughter. It turned out that the person they were looking for turned out to be aunt!"
But Chen Luo never dreamed that the daughter the old boatman was looking for was actually Taiping Dao, Zhang Tianshi.
"How are they going to search in this vast sea of people! Why not let the old blind man divine and do the math?" Yu Rui said, squeezing his hands and starting to divine.
"Grandpa, don't worry! I told Grandpa Zhang at that time that after coming to the south, we can go to Wuji City first and seek help from Zhu Wuji, the lord of Wuji City! If nothing unexpected happens, they should have arrived or are on their way here."
"How could Lord Wuji know them?"
"At that time, I also left Zhu Wuji's identity jade plaque for them as a token. Zhu Wuji must have recognized it. We will go to Zhu Wuji and ask him to find out."
"Okay, Xiaoluo, go and ask immediately!"
"Okay, Xiaoluo will go and ask right away!" Chen Luo stood up and was about to go!
"Wait! There's no need to go! According to Zhu Wuji's prudent character, if someone comes to him with Xiaoluo's token, there's no way he won't tell Xiaoluo!" The old blind man suddenly stopped Chen Luo and analyzed.
"If you haven't arrived at this time, you should be on your way here! Why don't we leave the city from the four gates and search separately! Let Marquis Shenwei search for us inside the city!" Zhang Yilian suggested.
After gathering everyone, the work was quickly divided.
Chen Luo also hand-drawn several photos of the old boatman to facilitate identification.
Heavenly Master Zhang Yilian led He Hua, Aunt Luo and others to the north gate, which had the highest possibility, while Chen Luo went to the west gate. The old blind man went to the east gate. Taoist Xuanzhen took the painting and first informed Zhu Wuji and Shenwei Hou to help send
People were looking for someone in the city, and then Xuanzhen went to the south gate to try his luck.
Among these gates, the least likely one is the south gate! Because Zhang Wenxiu’s ancestors and grandson came from the north.
Ever since the last time Wuji City, with the assistance of Chen Luo and others, defeated the Royal Enshrinement of the Great Qi Dynasty and helped Wuji City regain the land to the east and south of the city, the territory of Wuji City has become complete again.
The popularity of Wuji City has also reached a peak.
These days, there are so many people entering Wuji City! Chen Luo walked along the borrowed road to the west gate. The people from Shenwei Hou had already taken action, carrying portraits and searching for Zhang Wenxiu's grandson everywhere in the city. If they were really in the city,
There will probably be news soon.
If he wasn't there, he must have encountered some trouble on the road! This was what Chen Luo was worried about.
The old man and his grandson are not cultivators. They traveled through mountains and rivers and brought a lot of money with them. If they were targeted by bad people, they would not even have the ability to protect themselves!
Thinking of this, Chen Luo was also quite anxious. After leaving the city gate and following the official road, he quickly searched forward, not missing every foothold.
Thirty miles west of the city, Blackwater Inn.
An old man and a young man, grandfather and grandson, were eating noodles. They were Zhang Wenxiu and his grandfather Zhang Beitu, who had traveled a long journey.
Since leaving Fenglingdu, the two of them went all the way south. They walked for more than two months. Along the way, although they inquired and visited many people, suffered countless cold looks and ridicules, and also received many enthusiastic offers of help, no one knew or had seen a person named Zhang Yilian.
girl.
Seeing that we were about to arrive at Wuji City, if that didn't work, we could only follow what Chen Luo said and go to Wuji City first, and then look around with the help of the connections of the city lord of Wuji City.
"Grandpa, how long do we have until we find aunt?" Zhang Wenxiu finished eating the last bite of noodles, licked his mouth, and raised his head and asked.
Since Zhang Beitu took Chen Luo's Millennium Snow Ginseng, he not only cured his old ailments, but his health is better than before.
"Grandpa doesn't know either. The world is so big and there are so many people. Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
"Brother Chen Luo said that there is someone in Wuji City who can help us!"
"Yes, if it doesn't work, we will have to trouble others! The more favors we owe to my little brother, the more we owe!" Grandpa Zhang stroked a jade pendant given to him by Chen Luo. This is a token of seeking help from Wuji City! It's also true.
The jade pendant given to Chen Luo by Zhu Wuji in the past.
"Brother, pay the bill!" After finishing three large bowls of noodles, Zhang Beitu stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill.
"Brother, you have four bowls of noodles in total. Each bowl costs two taels of silver. Just give me eight taels!" The fat shopkeeper looked at the grandfather and grandson with a smile.
"This - why are these noodles so expensive!" Zhang Beitu was shocked and couldn't help but muttered! Along the way, he has eaten countless noodles. The price of each bowl of noodles is only tens of yuan. How come it is so close?
Wuji City, is the price getting more and more expensive?
"Expensive? Or no money?" The fat shopkeeper instantly put away his smile and stared at the grandfather and grandson coldly!
"This is Wuji City, can it compare with your country stores?" the shopkeeper said disdainfully.
"But, here -" Zhang Wenxiu wanted to say, your store is extremely tall and tall, it is no different from a rural store!
"Hey -" Zhang Beitu let out a long sigh. Seeing that he was about to reach Wuji City, it was better not to dwell on the dispute!
"Eight taels, just eight taels!" Zhang Beitu took out his wallet, counted out eight taels of silver notes, and handed it over.
The shopkeeper's eyes wandered, staring at Zhang Beitu's wallet.
"Dang Cang——"
Accidentally, a piece of jade pendant fell from the purse to the ground! This was the token that Chen Luo gave to Zhang Beitu!
The quality of this jade pendant is quite high, and it is also engraved with various dragon patterns! It looks like something extraordinary at first glance, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.
"What is this? Show me!" The shopkeeper suddenly became interested. He opened the shop day and night and saw quite a few good things. Only this jade pendant gave him an instant feeling of taking possession of it.
The impulse!
"How about this! I don't want the eight taels of silver anymore. How about you use this jade pendant to pay for the meal?" The shopkeeper thought for a moment and then gave his own suggestion.
Zhang Beitu shook his head, put down the money, picked up the package, and slowly pulled Zhang Wenxiu out of the Blackwater Inn! Heading towards Wuji City!
Looking at the backs of the grandfather and grandson, the shopkeeper smiled coldly!
"Hmph! I'm afraid when the time comes, I won't be able to help you anymore!"
I casually called over to a waiter, whispered for a moment, and the waiter opened the door and hurried away.
"Grandpa, this store owner is a bad guy!" Xiao Wenxiu clenched her fists. Although she is still young, she has experienced the world and has a certain ability to distinguish right from wrong!
