"Don't be too fast. For some things, it's better to do it step by step."
Fortunately, he cut off his left arm and used his right hand to use the sword, which made it much easier for him.
After talking to Bai Qi for a while, she allowed him to leave. Most of them were words of encouragement to her.
In fact, she didn't need to worry about safety issues at all when Bai Yi and Bai Yin were by her side. She had complete trust in their sisters.
But then I thought about it, if she didn't do this, Bai Qi might have fallen into decline. Wouldn't it be a pity to lose a general, so I thought it would be okay to accept him.
Qinghe Town.
Yan Wenzhi and Bai Yun have returned to Qinghe Town. This is the first time that he has dealt with these matters and contacted these people at such a close distance.
It made him feel a lot. Although the outside world did not know his identity, Bai Yun basically delegated all the powers to him.
This incident is not a small one. Bai Yun said it should be the Holy One’s intention.
He used to think like everyone else that Bai Yun left Kyoto and came to a small town like Qinghe Town to become a wife because he was extremely disappointed with the Holy Emperor.
But now I understand that maybe there is no such thing as disappointment at all. This is a game of chess, a game that includes everyone in the world.
Now he was forced into the chess game and had no choice but to go with the situation.
However, this also happened to give him some opportunities to practice and give him a general understanding of his future life.
This matter was not trivial. He guessed that the Holy Spirit should have asked Bai Yun to investigate privately first and then find an official name to investigate if he had some information.
You can tell whether you can find out or not by comparing them.
This time it's a question of smuggling salt.
There are salt officials in Dali, and smuggling of salt is not allowed. If you are caught, the crime will be serious.
But there are always people who jump repeatedly on the edge of death, always wanting to use their lives to explore the bottom line of the Holy Spirit.
Yan Wenzhi compiled the information he was going to find this time into a book and handed it to Bai Yun.
When I returned to Qingxi Lane, I realized that Lin Nanyi had been away from home for more than half a month.
Since she left, the house has suddenly become deserted, and Mrs. Gu still goes out early and comes back late to go to the fish restaurant.
Yan Wenzhi advised her to take a rest. There was not much room for her in the fish house, so there was no need to work so hard.
But Mrs. Gu said that she just felt that it was too lonely at home with no one to talk to her. It would be better to go to the fish restaurant, where she could help and have someone to talk to.
The house was deserted at the moment, and Yan Wenzhi walked to the kitchen unknowingly.
The two women were preparing today's dinner. When they saw Yan Wenzhi coming over, they quickly put down their work and saluted him.
"Young Master, are you hungry? How about I serve you a bowl of noodles first?"
The mother-in-law's voice sounded, and Yan Wenzhi realized that he had not eaten today. He had been busy sorting out information in the Bai Mansion. After finishing his work, he came back directly without eating a bite.
"Sorry, auntie."
"No trouble, no trouble. Master, go to the front hall and wait a moment. I'll be here very quickly."
The mother-in-law waved her hand and began to boil water and add noodles to the pot.
Not long after Yan Wenzhi stayed in the front hall, the mother-in-law brought the noodles.
Looking at the familiar dish numbers in the bowl, he thought for a moment that Lin Nan was back.
"This is the dish that Miss always made before. After she left, I also learned to make some. Although the taste is not as good as Miss's, it is still edible. Please give it a try, sir."
"Okay, Auntie, let's get busy first."
Yan Wenzhi stirred the noodles in the bowl.
The mother-in-law returned to the kitchen happily.
It's really comfortable to work in such a family. The family is harmonious and happy. Even they are polite to them. The wages given are quite good, and there is no situation like the previous owner's family where you were asked to do everything.
Yan Wenzhi frowned after taking a bite, "Yiyi, it's not as delicious as yours."
After he finished speaking, no one responded before he realized that she was not here at all.
He felt like he was going crazy. How could he think that Lin Nanyi was by his side?
She was clearly in Kyoto, thousands of miles away at the moment.
The bitterness in his throat increased instead of decreasing. After finishing a bowl of noodles, Yan Wenzhi left Qingxi Lane and went to Baifu.
Bai Yun was a little surprised to see him again. They left the city to approach Tori. Seeing how hurriedly he walked home just now, he must have wanted to go back.
How long has it been since then, why did he come back again?
Yan Wenzhi sat in front of him and said, "Father-in-law, I want to go to Kyoto."
Bai Yun's eyes widened. He rarely called him father-in-law, and he didn't want to be called that.
I always feel like my cabbage has been eaten by pigs.
Want to go to Kyoto? Most of the things they investigate are in coastal cities, and there is no need to go to Kyoto.
"Calculating the time, Nan Yi and her mother-in-law will be back soon. I want to pick her up in person."
I see.
Ha! My dear, if you want to get close to my daughter, you have to go through her old father first.
Bai Yun probably forgot that he was not there when Lin Nanyi and Yan Wenzhi got married.
"There are many people protecting them. They will not be in danger. You don't have to worry."
Bai Yun seems like a bastard who doesn't know how to live well.
This is what Yan Wenzhi is thinking at the moment.
"Don't my father-in-law miss my mother-in-law?"
Think! Why don't you think about it? He thinks about it so much that he can't sleep every night.
But can this be said?
Yan Wenzhi has the best insight into people's hearts.
"She will come back on her own, I don't need to worry."
Still numbing myself.
Bai Yun's first reaction had betrayed him, and Yan Wenzhi curled his lips and smiled.
This old man is so good at handling it, okay?
"I have to go to Kyoto to pick her up and go home with her no matter what. If my father-in-law wants to go with her, then he will pack his bags. I plan to set off in three days."
From here to Kyoto, it took seven or eight days to take the official road. It would be perfect to wait for a day or two in Kyoto and then come back with her.
Yan Wenzhi left, taking Bai Yun's anger with him.
Assy!
Is he really angry?
If Yan Wenzhi hadn't been his most proud student over the years, if he hadn't been married to Yiyi, if he hadn't also missed the Zuo family, he thought, he would definitely not have been caught by Yan Wenzhi.
He is not to blame for any of this. He can only blame Yan Wenzhi for having an appetite for him, blame Yiyi for getting married too early, and blame Zuo for occupying an important position in his heart.
Otherwise, he would never go to Kyoto this time.
Three days later, Yan Wenzhi's carriage stopped at the gate of Baifu and asked Liangzi to knock on the door.
"Brother, please tell Mr. Bai that Yan Wen has left for Kyoto and I don't know when he will be back, but he must never forget Mr. Bai's instructions."
After Yan Wenzhi finished talking to the boy who opened the door, he turned back to the carriage without caring about the other person's reaction.
Liangzi said "drive" and the horse began to move forward slowly.
"wait for me!"
Bai Yun's roar came from the Bai Mansion.
Ryoko quickly braked.
Then I saw Bai Yun running out of the house with a small bundle on his back, looking like an old naughty boy.
Yan Wenzhi was in the carriage, always holding a book in his hand, and the smile on his lips became bigger and bigger.
Bai Yun was followed by an expressionless guard, who must have been the incarnation of a secret guard.
Yan Wenzhi listened to the noise and estimated that he was almost at the carriage and opened the curtain to help him in.
The moment Bai Yun stepped out of the house, he kept moaning and cursing, and when he saw Yan Wenzhi's smiling face, he cursed even more fiercely.
Yan Wenzhi didn't care, pretending not to hear, and moved his hands more gently.
My mentor, I deserve a few words of scolding.
The carriage set off slowly. The two of them were not in a hurry and walked along the official road.
The official road is much wider than the path taken by Lin Nanyi and Zuo. You can see a lot of people along the way. There are some villages and towns around it, making it a prosperous scene.
The danger on the official road is also much smaller. It can be said that they went to pick up Lin Nanyi and Zuo this time, or it can be said that they went on a side trip.
Kyoto.
It has been more than half a month since they arrived in Kyoto, and it was finally time to do the most important thing of their trip.
Zuo's maiden family is Anyuanhou.
Earlier he followed the late emperor to conquer the country.
His son even died on the battlefield in order to save Anyuan Hou. It is said that his death was extremely tragic.
That is, Zuo's uncle.
Later, Anyuanhou only had a single seedling of Zuo's father left.
After the world was settled, the late emperor felt that he was not worthy of the Zuo family, so he made Anyuan Marquis, which was still a hereditary system. From then on, the Zuo family became the first and only marquis with a different surname.
After Zuo Houye passed away, Zuo Dezong, Zuo's father, inherited the title.
The old Marquis Anyuan was a martial artist, but Zuo Dezong was good at writing. He had high attainments in this field and became a great Confucian.
Zuo is the eldest lady of the Anyuan Hou Mansion.
The main reason for coming back this time is that the current Anyuan Marquis Zuo Dezong is running out of time and has many things to explain.
Zuo also wanted to come back and fulfill his filial piety in front of his father, so he returned to Kyoto.
The reason why she did not go to Anyuanhou's Mansion for so many days was because Anyuanhou did not lend a helping hand when Zuo's daughter died in infancy, so she no longer had any contact with Anyuanhou's Mansion.
Marquis Anyuan was sulky because she left Kyoto without saying a word, so he ordered others to leave her alone.
Yesterday, Zuo received news from her brother, saying that her father was still talking about her in bed.
She couldn't bear it anymore and came to visit her father today.
Wu Bo knew the twists and turns, so he prepared many gifts early, and then went to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion with Zuo.
As soon as Lin Nan sat in the carriage, both Zuo and her were dressed plainly today. Anyuanhou, her maternal grandfather, was seriously ill and was lying on the bed. Zuo was extremely worried.
He kept urging the carriage to go faster and faster.
Houfu is to the south of Baifu, and it takes about an hour from Baifu.
At this hour, Zuo urged her no less than five times.
…
Finally, we arrived at the Houfu.
It was very quiet in front of the Houfu Gate. Most of the mansions here were given by the Holy Emperor. The people who lived there were high-ranking officials, so naturally there was no noise near Zhuque Street.
"Madam, we're here."
Wu Bo put the stirrup in place before calling Zuo.
Zuo didn't know what he was thinking, he was particularly lost in thought. He suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the voice, his eyes were a little hollow.
Lin Nan felt heartbroken when he saw it.
But she doesn't understand what happened more than ten years ago, and the most important thing to do at this time is to stay with her at all times.
Zuo stood up for a moment, but couldn't stand firm and almost fell into the carriage. Lin Nan supported her and said, "Mom, do you want to rest for a while first."
"No, no need!"
Zuo stood up again with strength, Lin Nanyi was beside him, and he put almost all his strength on Lin Nanyi. This chapter has been completed!
