The two of them were walking and chatting, all the way towards the inn. The conversation was very congenial and happy.
Because Yu Xiandeng was worried about settling his debts, the big stone that had been weighing on his heart for the past two days seemed to be lifted away, and he relaxed.
Lei Xingkong was in a good mood because his sword skills had greatly improved and he had unintentionally obtained the huge soul power of the ancient beast.
When the two returned to the inn, it was already late at night. Yu Xiandeng could not return to the military camp at this time, so he could only sleep in Lei Xingkong's room for one night.
"Akong, are you free tomorrow?"
The two of them rested together and fell asleep. Yu Xiandeng suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice.
"As long as I haven't reported to the Yulin Army Camp yet, I will be free." Lei Xingkong responded.
"That's great!"
Yu Xiandeng chuckled and said, "My father mentioned in the letter he sent me that he wanted me to take you to visit an old friend. It just so happens that you can come with me tomorrow?"
Old friend?
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment.
When leaving Qingshui County, I didn't hear Yu Hongtian say that he had any old friends in the capital. I didn't expect that when he turned around, he actually sent a message asking Yu Xiandeng to take him to visit. Could it be that he had forgotten it before, but then he remembered it... But since he had forgotten it,
"Old friend", what kind of old friend is it? Is it worth his special request to ask Yu Xiandeng to take him to visit?
Thinking of this, Lei Xingkong couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Second brother Yu, what kind of old friend is that? Why did I never hear my uncle talk about it when I was in Qingshui County?"
Yu Xiandeng's smile suddenly became more ambiguous. After laughing for a while, under Lei Xingkong's increasingly serious gaze, he coughed lightly and said seriously: "Actually, that's not an old friend of my father's, but from your family.
Well, he is an old friend of Uncle Lei's."
"My father's... old friend?"
Lei Xingkong frowned thoughtfully. Yu Xiandeng's various manners made him think about something.
Yu Xiandeng simply made his words clear: "My father said in the letter that when you were still in your mother's belly, Uncle Lei made a marriage for you. That family also served in the Qingshui County Army and was later transferred to
There has been no news from your two families in Beijing. This time, my father asked me to take you to visit that family, just to see if that family still recognizes this marriage."
"This is indeed what happened..."
Lei Xingkong had already guessed something. When his mother talked about this matter at home, he had no intention of going to find anyone. He just wanted to deal with his mother casually in the future, saying that they didn't recognize the marriage.
Forget it, I didn't expect that Yu Hongtian actually sent a message asking Yu Xiandeng to take him to visit him.
With his mind spinning very quickly, Lei Xingkong considered it and said to Yu Xiandeng: "Brother Yu, my mother has also mentioned this matter, but I think it's been so long, so it's better to just forget it. If someone had the intention, how could he do it?
No news for so long? Let’s not come to ask for trouble tomorrow!”
Yu Xiandeng shook his head: "That's not okay. My father specifically told me about this. He said that no matter what others do, since you come to the capital, you should visit them once and see what their attitude is."
Lei Xingkong wanted to persuade after hearing this, but Yu Xiandeng acted like an "elder brother" again and continued: "Akong, you must listen to your brother this time. Come with me tomorrow. Just treat it as perfunctory.
Don't let anyone take the opportunity in the future to say that Uncle Lei's descendants don't understand the rules."
Even his father, who had passed away many years ago, had moved out, so Lei Xingkong could only stop talking nonsense.
After a while, Yu Xiandeng fell asleep first.
Lei Xingkong closed his eyes and watched "Ancient Knife Marks" again before relaxing and falling asleep.
…
The next day, the two of them got up early.
Lei Xingkong had a leg injury and did not practice sword practice as usual.
After getting up and briefly freshening up, Lei Xingkong found two stab wounds on his chest. The wounds under the bloody scab had healed for four to five minutes, and the cracks on the leg bones seemed to have begun to slowly heal.
This discovery made Lei Xingkong secretly happy. He also understood that this was all due to the blood of the Wu clan. No matter how good the Yuhua Pavilion's gold medicine and bone wound medicine were, they would not be effective in just one night.
However, when he was injured on the battlefield before, the self-healing effect of the Wu Clan's blood was not so fast. This shows from the side that although his cultivation has been stuck at the seventh level of Canglong Jue, as the internal organs in his body are tempered one after another.
After the refining was completed, his body and blood essence continued to become stronger, so the Witch Clan's bloodline took effect faster.
After freshening up, Lei Xingkong was pulled out of the inn by Yu Xiandeng and walked toward the inner city.
After passing through the busy streets of the outer city and entering the inner city, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
Yu Xiandeng led the way all the time, and there was no need to ask for directions at all. Lei Xingkong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Yu, why do you seem to be very familiar with the roads in this inner city?"
Yu Xiandeng replied casually: "I have been in the Nine City Guards for more than half a year. The Nine City Guards are in charge of the ground in the capital. I will naturally become familiar with it after walking a lot." After a slight pause, he shook his head helplessly and said: "
Alas, if I had known better, I would have just joined the county army like you. Serving as a soldier in the Jiucheng Guards here is really useless. I just patrol the streets every day and do all the trivial things, and it is thankless."
Lei Xingkong smiled slightly but did not answer.
This Nine City Guard is similar in nature to the policemen of the Earth's past. What they do is not just patrolling the streets... Although patrolling the streets is not a good job, it is not a bad job either. Yu Xiandeng has never been on the battlefield. If he is,
After that, after experiencing life and death, I'm afraid I won't have anything to complain about.
After a while, the two came to a house, which belonged to a wealthy family. There was a plaque in front of the door with two words - "Liang Mansion" written in large letters on it.
"This is it!"
Yu Xiandeng waved to Lei Xingkong and went over to knock on the door.
Lei Xingkong looked at the piece and hesitated a little.
He vaguely remembered that his mother had mentioned that the betrothed's surname was Liang, and the one in front of him was right. He really didn't want to acknowledge this damn marriage, but when things got to this point, he could only take it one step at a time.
Yu Xiandeng patted the door several times. After a while, the door creaked and opened a crack.
A head poked out from behind the crack of the door. He looked like a servant. He glanced at Yu Xiandeng, then at Lei Xingkong behind him, and asked, "You two... Young Masters... what's the matter?"
Yu Xiandeng took out the greeting card from his arms and said: "We are here to visit Uncle Liang. Please let me know that the son of Uncle Liang's old friend in Qingshui County is here to visit."
After hearing this, the servant looked at Yu Xiandeng and Lei Xingkong again, nodded, and said: "Please wait a moment, gentlemen, I will ask the old housekeeper to come and entertain you." After saying that, he stepped back and closed the door again.
After a while, the door opened a crack again, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked out, followed by the servant from before.
The old housekeeper looked at Yu Xiandeng and Lei Xingkong and asked, "Are the two young masters here to visit my master? Are they from Qingshui County?"
"Yes, please pass it on for me."
Yu Xiandeng nodded and handed over the greeting card again.
The old housekeeper took the invitation and said politely: "The master is not in the house now. Please wait here for a moment. I will go in and report to the madam."
"Okay." Yu Xiandeng agreed.
The old housekeeper ordered the servant to greet him first, and then he took the invitation and walked towards the house.
Yu Xiandeng and Lei Xingkong looked at each other and waited quietly in front of the door.
