From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 115 Returning to Xiangyang
In the clear water of the lake, General Lan showed his small head on the surface of the lake, his limbs swung underwater and swam towards the shore.

When it landed on the shore, it shook the water droplets on its body, and then ran briskly towards Yang Qing who was lying on the grass.

Hearing the sound of its footsteps approaching him, Yang Qing still rested his head on the back of his head with one hand and looked up at the sky, while stroking the lake with the other hand, he evaporated the lake water and injected a burst of Changchun Qi into its body.

General Lan got a flick of his true energy, and immediately his whole body tensed up, his eyes narrowed, and then he fell straight on his side to the ground.

The front and rear four paws stretched out, trembling slightly unconsciously, as if extremely comfortable.

Yang Qing once tried to control sharks with sunflower zhenqi, but now he uses Changchun zhenqi to control tigers, but found that the effect seems to be better.

Three days ago, the tiger cub was slightly hostile when he was infused with his true energy for the first time, but now if he doesn't come here every day, he will always linger on him.

He has practiced in seclusion for many years, but these few days he didn't think about martial arts anymore. He just took General Lan for a walk around, or lay down by the lake to bask in the sun.

It is both emptying and precipitation.

It was already mid-September, but the sunshine in Wuliang Mountain was still as warm as spring.

Just as he was thinking about going back to the Central Plains tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, two white dots suddenly appeared at the end of the distant sky.

Yang Qing's eyes flickered, and the next moment he saw that the two white spots were Guo Jing's two white eagles.

He has seen these two white eagles several times, they are quite spiritual and miraculous, but somehow they came here.

He still lay still, watching the white eagle fly to the mid-air above his head after a while, then circled for a while and then slowly landed in the valley.

This white eagle is nearly half a foot high, with a wingspan of more than one foot.

It was two circles smaller in size than the short-winged sculpture in Dugu Jianzhong, but its appearance was obviously better.

The two white eagles landed on the grass, and their flapping wings created a gust of wind around them.

As soon as General Lan saw the two "behemoths" fall, he immediately turned over and jumped up.

While bowing and "roaring", it hid behind Yang Qing, its tiger claws pawing at the hem of its clothes, trying to cover itself.

Yang Qing looked sideways at Bai Diao, who flapped his wings slightly and uttered a soft chirp in response.

He glanced at the claw wrist of one of them, and when he saw a bamboo tube tied to it, he knew that it was specially for delivering letters to himself.

It's just that I have lived in Wuliang Mountain for 15 years, and rarely come out of the cave. I don't know how many days the two white eagles have been flying, and I have searched so many places before I happened to meet them today.

He stood up and walked over. As he lifted his clothes, General Lan who was hiding underneath also showed his figure.

With a "Wow", the little guy hurriedly moved his four paws and stepped back.

It only took two steps back, but when it saw Yang Qing was moving forward, it screamed twice and finally rushed forward, jumped up and grabbed his sleeve and kept shaking its little head.

Bai Diao didn't panic when he saw Yang Qing, he calmly let him approach step by step, and took the bamboo tube from his claw wrist, but couldn't help tilting his head to look at General Lan who was hanging on his cuff.

When Yang Qing returned to the lake with the bamboo tube, the two white eagles raised their heads and chirped softly. Then they spread their wings and soared into the air again, flying to the north.

Opening the cork of the bamboo tube, Yang Qing took out the letterhead and found that there were three letters.

One was sent 14 years ago, and the letter stated that Yang Kangmu Nianci, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were married in Xiangyang.

The second letter was 13 years ago, when Yang Kang and Guo Jing guarded Xiangyang together to resist the Mongolian invasion.

At the same time, it is also said that Mu Nianci gave birth to a son named Yang Xi; Guo Jing got a daughter Guo Fu, and the two families established an marriage relationship.

The third letter was two years ago, saying that Bao Xiruo misses his son and is often depressed.

These letters are all written by Yang Kang, each of which reveals the meaning of wanting him to go back, but never explicitly stated.

"Grow up."

Yang Qing knew that the reason why Yang Kang didn't say it clearly was because he respected his ambition to pursue martial arts.

Even he and Guo Jing painstakingly guarded Xiangyang together, but they only briefly mentioned it in the letter, and did not use any excuse of national righteousness to make themselves go back to help.

"Yang Xi...it's better to hit the sun than choose the day, let's go now."

Putting away the letter, Yang Qing couldn't help laughing.

Before, he was preconceived and subconsciously thought that Yang Kang's son should be called Yang Guo.

Only after reading the letter did I realize that many things were different from before.

Holding General Lan into his arms, and taking a last look at the valley, Yang Qing turned and walked out...

……

Two days later in the evening, there was a long line of people entering the city at the south gate of Xiangyang City.

The soldiers guarding the city inspected the entry documents one by one, and from time to time some people were pulled out and searched for detailed interrogation.

A sergeant just let the previous person go, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw a young man in gray shirt smiling at him: "Brother, I have come to Xiangyang to seek refuge with relatives in the army, and I have to ask you to pass it on to me. .”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for him to refuse, he reached out and handed over a piece of silver.

"This……"

Glancing at the heavy silver taels, the sergeant frowned, and calmly stepped forward two steps and asked in a low voice, "Does your relative work in the army?"

"Exactly."

"What's your name?"

"Yang Kang."

"Oh...Yang Kang, he..." The sergeant wanted to ask carefully after hearing the name, but after a moment he suddenly exclaimed: "Which Yang Kang?"

"What?" Yang Qing said, "How many Yang Kangs are there in Xiangyang City?"

"You...don't know Gao's name?"

"Yang Qing."

Looking at the surprised and disturbed sergeant, Yang Qing probably understood.

Yang Kang's prestige in Xiangyang should not be low.

He originally intended to fly into the city, but seeing that the four gates of Xiangyang are guarded by soldiers, and the city walls are also heavily guarded, he should not be too lax when he comes to the city.

In order to avoid trouble, I asked someone directly to ask.

"Yang... well, what do you call General Yang?"

"I'm his big brother."

Hearing this, the sergeant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, handed back the money, and waved behind him, until a group of people came up and surrounded Yang Qing, then smiled wryly:
"I've heard that General Yang has an elder brother, but no one has ever seen him. Young master, you look too young. Now that the battle is urgent, no one dares to be careless.

I will go and pass it on to you, but I have to wait here for a while, so please take back the money. "

Yang Qing nodded with a smile, and didn't go to pick up the money.

The sergeant couldn't resist him, and didn't dare to force him, so he turned around and ran back to the city to report the news.

Not long after, Yang Qing saw a few figures galloping from far away in the city.

After a few people appeared in front of the city gate, the soldiers and civilians on the left and right immediately saluted: "Greetings to General Yang."

"Meet General Guo!"

As soon as Guo Jing, Yang Kang, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci arrived at the door, they looked at Yang Qing, who was wearing a gray shirt and bamboo sheath, holding a cub in his arms, their eyes were warm for a moment.

Mu Nianci was the first to rush forward, holding Yang Qing's arm tightly.

Before the words were spoken, tears were already falling:

"Big brother!"

……

After 15 years of separation, we meet again, and it goes without saying that we will have a banquet to entertain each other and talk about our parting.

It's just that apart from them, there were also a group of friends from Jianghu who assisted Guo Jing and Yang Kang in Xiangyang, so they returned to the mansion to talk in detail after the banquet.

In Yang Kang's mansion, five people sat around a round table.

Yang Qing has practiced in seclusion for many years, and she still doesn't feel deeply about the passage of time, but Guo Jing and the others couldn't help showing the joy of reuniting after a long absence.

At this time, Yang Kang had also grown a short beard, and was wearing a light green warrior outfit with a half body armor.

He is also a rare handsome man, but now there are some signs of age on his face, he looks majestic with elegance, quite attractive charm.

Seeing that Yang Qing looked at him and nodded frequently, Yang Kang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you haven't changed at all in all these years."

"You have said it many times at the banquet just now." Yang Qing smiled and said, "How does it feel to be General Song?"

"What kind of General of the Song Dynasty?" Yang Kang and Guo Jing both shook their heads: "Brother Guo and I are just staff members of the Lu family brothers. Although we are in charge of the Xiangyang army, we don't have that status."

Yang Qing knew that the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang City was Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan brothers.

These two people have been doing nothing. For many years, they have been going south from Mongolia, all supported by Guo Yang.

By now, he has been completely emptied, and has become a messenger for the two to communicate with the court.

"If you want it, with the current situation in Song Dynasty, isn't it easy?"

"I didn't think about it." Yang Kang said: "Even the great gold that was at its peak is gone. Who can say how long the Southern Song court can last. If Brother Guo didn't persuade him a few times, I would have taken Nian Ciyuan to the rivers and lakes a long time ago." gone."

"Brother Kang Xian..."

Guo Jing was hesitant to speak while listening.

"Brother Jing." Huang Rong checked his face and tugged on his sleeve.

Seeing this, Yang Qing stopped talking, and instead asked, "Where are your parents?"

"Brother, don't worry, they are all living in Peach Blossom Island." Yang Kang replied, then changed his voice, and continued: "Wanyan Honglie is dead."

"How did you die?"

"It is said that he led people to meet the Mongolian cavalry head-on and died in the chaos."

"It's a worthy death." Seeing his calm expression, Yang Qing knew that Yang Kang had finally let go of this part completely.

He looked at Mu Nianci and Huang Rong and said, "After talking for a long time, why is my nephew and my nephew who has never been married?"

"Hey! Just mentioning that kid makes me angry!"

Without waiting for Mu Nianci to speak, Yang Kang took the words and said, "I know why you always beat me, big brother. You can't help it."

Huang Rong and Mu Nianci couldn't help laughing at these words, and Guo Jing said cheerfully, "Brother Yang, Fuer and my two apprentices are still on Taohua Island. As for Xier, he was sent to the whole country by Brother Kang Xian three years ago Really taught."

When Yang Qing heard that he was called Xi'er, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.Just as he was about to ask why he sent him to Quanzhen, he suddenly heard a "wow" behind him.

Several people heard the sound and looked around, only to see General Lan, who was covered in blue and black on the bed, kicking his hooves, just waking up.

Along the way, Yang Qing put the little guy in his sleeves, and "hypnotized" it with Changchun Qi from time to time. He threw it on the bed as soon as he came back just now, and only woke up at this time.

"Brother, this is... is this a little tiger?"

"I've never seen a tiger with blue fur."

After all, Mu Nianci and Huang Rong were women. When they saw the fluffy General Lan, they couldn't help but stepped forward to pick him up and rub him.

Yang Qing smiled and told them the story of rescuing the young tiger, and then talked about Yang Xi with Guo Jing.

"This child is talented, but he is too stubborn."

Listening to Yang Kang's narration of how Yang Xi disturbed Peach Blossom Island, he had no time to discipline him, and he was afraid of being spoiled by his elders, so he simply sent Quanzhen to Qiu Chuji.

Isn't this the old way...

"My parents are all there, so there's no reason to throw it to the master. Take it back as soon as possible."

Guo Jing heard the words and said: "It is for this reason that Xi'er and Fu'er are engaged to each other, and they are almost 14 years old now. Being separated for too long may not be good for their relationship."

"Now it's okay if you don't pick it up." Yang Kang said: "I received a letter from Master a few days ago, saying that the boy is not safe in Quanzhen Sect and has repeatedly caused troubles.

Master asked me to pick him up as soon as possible, lest I could not help breaking his legs. "

Mu Nianci retorted from the side: "Xi'er is not so unbearable, she is just naughty."

"It's not all because you are spoiled."

Yang Qing smiled and said: "There is no need to argue, the master is afraid that he will not be willing to do something serious, so I will pick him up in two days."

Yang Kang was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It would be best if the eldest brother is willing to help discipline, you will be able to calm him down."

At this time, Huang Rong carried General Lan over to put him on the table, and asked with a smile, "Brother Yang, I didn't ask about the crowd just now, where have you been all these years?"

"That's right, Brother Yang, I have asked Bai Diao to go out to look for you every year, but I haven't heard from you at all."

Yang Qing took out the letter in his arms and put it on the table: "I have been retreating in the Wuliang Mountain of Dali, and I just came back after seeing the letter two days ago."

Guo Jing said happily: "Your martial arts must have improved again. With you here, Xiangyang will be as solid as gold!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Huang Rong tugging at the corner of his clothes again.

Slightly stunned, Yang Qing looked at him with a smile: "You and Yang Kang are in trouble, so naturally I can't just stand by and watch. It's fine to just be stationed in Xiangyang, and that's not my ambition.

I went to pick up Xi'er in two days, and I'm afraid I have to find a place to retreat.But I will be nearby in Xiangyang, if you need something in the future, you can ask someone to come to me. "

"With your words, it will be done!"

Guo Jing was overjoyed, but Yang Kang was puzzled and said: "Brother, what kind of kung fu have you practiced? When will you be in seclusion all day long?"

Yang Qing couldn't explain it, so he could only say helplessly, "I don't know either."

At this moment, General Lan ran into his arms from the table, Yang Qing picked it up and chatted with them for a while, then Guo Jing and Huang Rong said goodbye and left.

Yang Kang and Mu Nianci sat down for a while and didn't stay any longer.

After sending them to the door, Yang Kang was about to close the door, but Yang Kang suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, my martial arts has improved so fast these years, how about you and I competing tomorrow?"

Yang Qing glanced at him in surprise, and slowly raised her finger to point to the rockery in the courtyard.

Then, under Mu Nianci's puzzled eyes, only the sound of "咻" pierced through the air, and a transparent hole exploded in the rockery three feet away, and stone chips flew around, making the surrounding "slapping" sound.

Yang Kang was so startled that his mouth was half open, and it took a long time before he moved his Adam's apple a few times, and said to Yang Qing with a flattering smile: "Brother, you should rest early, I have to leave beforehand."

Mu Nianci's eyes were also wide open, seeing Yang Kang leave the courtyard, and then chasing after Yang Qing...

Guo Jing walked on the way back to the mansion with a slightly dull expression.

Seeing his appearance, Huang Rong couldn't help asking: "Brother Jing, are you still angry because I blocked you just now?"

"Why would I be angry?" Guo Jing sighed and said, "I just don't understand, brother Yang Qing is so good at martial arts, why he doesn't want to contribute to Da Song?
Even Brother Kang Xian is not optimistic about Da Song. If I hadn't insisted, I'm afraid even he would leave. "

"Are you blaming my father, and Master and the others?"

"Huh?" Guo Jing was surprised, "When did I blame them?"

He looked at Huang Rong's smiling face, and after a while he suddenly said: "Yes, they are all from the Jianghu. How can one more martial arts master solve the court affairs?"

Huang Rong nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Yang and his gang, no matter how good their martial arts are, they can't kill all the Mongols. Those who can bring peace and order to the world will never be people from the rivers and lakes."

Guo Jing could hear what she meant this time, and looked at passers-by on the street with a wry smile: "Do your best."
