Eternal Sword

Chapter 22: Out-of-town Relatives
Under the moonlight, Chen Tang walked on the snow, walking faster and faster.

Even though the north wind is biting, I don't feel cold.

The tiger milk and ginseng monkey wine have made tremendous changes to his physique!
Originally, he was just a boy of ordinary talent and mediocre bones.

After more than two months of practice, I have truly been reborn!

Chen Tang didn't think much about the top-quality ginseng that was given away, mainly because there were still a lot of it on the snow mountain, and he had the Tianshen Monkey Wine, so he didn't want to spend any more.

Besides, although he was passive on the way down the mountain, he still took advantage of many girls.

Not long after, Chen Tang returned to Changze County.

It was the middle of the night and there were no pedestrians on the street. Occasionally one or two white guards could be seen patrolling the night.

Chen Tang deliberately avoided these unemployed servants to avoid being interrogated and causing trouble.

Along the way, I didn't see any notice of pursuit.

The long night a month ago seemed to have passed without causing much waves in Changze County.

After a while, Chen Tang returned to his home.

However, he did not rush in, but wandered around and looked around.

No abnormalities were found.

In the cold winter, there was no smoke coming out of the chimney of the house.

It means no one is home.

It seems that the master and disciple have left.

Chen Tang had expected this.

He stayed on the snowy mountain for a full month. Who could outlast him?

This trip down the mountain was a coincidence.

He sent Li Junqing to the foot of the mountain, which was only a few miles away from his home, and planned to come back and stay for one night.

I will go to the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School tomorrow and return the thirty taels of silver to Mei Yingxue, so that I can put my mind at ease.

Buy some salt and other things at the market and then go back to the snow mountains.

Chen Tang pushed the door open and entered the yard. He tiptoed to the front of the house, but instead of going in directly, he stood at the door and listened carefully.

There was indeed no movement inside.

Only then did Chen Tang feel relieved and pushed the door open.

When the door was opened, I saw the master and disciple sitting at the table facing the door.

The fat old man looked at the door with a smile.

Qing Mu held her chin with her hand, looking sleepy and blinking her sleepy eyes, like a young wife waiting for her husband to return home.

Chen Tang was stunned.

what's the situation?
What do you mean?
Chen Tang held his breath for a long time, then pointed at the stove next to him and said, "You, you guys are staying in the house, don't you feel cold without lighting the stove?"

"so far so good."

The fat old man was still smiling, looking very easy to talk to.

"Brother, you've been away hunting for so long, I've been worried sick."

Qing Mu said he was worried, but his face showed a bit of pride as if he had finally waited for you.

Chen Tang sneered in his heart.

It would be strange to believe you.

and many more!

Chen Tang frowned and asked, "Who is the younger brother, and whose sister are you?"

"My name is Chen Qingmu, and I'm your cousin."

Qing Mu pointed at the fat old man and said, "Master's name is Chen Shang, and he is your uncle."

Then Qing Mu waved and said with a smile: "Come and meet your cousin and your uncle."

real or fake?

Chen Tang felt a little unsure because of the woman's confident tone.

After all, he traveled through time and space, and the memories of his previous life were not complete.

Moreover, if he is really a relative from another place, it is normal that his previous incarnation has never seen him. I am afraid that only Chen Daan knows him.

The mountain guest once said, this fat old man will not harm me, is it because he is my uncle?

Chen Tang caught a glimpse of the cunning that flashed across Qing Mu's eyes and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

wrong.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

After he killed someone that day, he ran into two people and brought them home. A month later, they became his uncle and cousin?

"Stop it."

Chen Tang went into the house and closed the door. He ignored the two of them and went over to put some firewood in the stove and started a fire.

Qing Mu smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask tomorrow. Find the chief constable of Changze County, or find that Miss Mei." Chen Tang became more and more unconvinced, but he knew that there must be something fishy about this matter.

"What's going on? Tell me."

Chen Tang came to the table and sat down.

The fat old man said, "A few days after you left, a county constable came to visit us."

"Which captain is here to investigate the case that night?"

Chen Tang asked with a frown.

He behaved relatively cleanly that day, but he didn't expect that the chief constable from Changze County would come to his door so soon.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be suspected.

"The surname is Meng."

Qing Mu said: "Don't worry, no one suspects you. The case that night has long been unresolved."

"He came here just to comfort the people in the county. When he came here, Master was worried that something unexpected would happen, so I made up an identity and said that we are your relatives from another place and we just came to the city not long ago."

Chen Tang curled his lips and said, "Did Captain Meng believe it so easily?"

In Qian State, civilians must have a pass to travel. Violators will be arrested and punished according to the law.

For example, the fat old man and his apprentice came from other places, and it would be fine if no one investigated. But if they were investigated, they would be in a lot of trouble.

Qing Mu smiled and said, "Master is an old hand. It's not easy to make a fake pass."

"and after?"

Chen Tang asked, "Didn't Captain Meng ask about the case that night?"

"No."

Qing Mu said: "Just a few words and he was sent away."

The fat old man suddenly said, "That Captain Meng is not a simple person. Although he didn't mention a single case, he did have the intention of testing us when he came to our house that time."

Chen Tang hesitated for a moment, looked at Qing Mu and asked, "Why did you mention Miss Mei just now?"

Logically speaking, they should have little intersection with Mei Yingxue.

Qing Mu smiled slightly and said, "During the month you were away, Miss Mei came several times to inquire about you."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang was slightly surprised.

Then he changed his mind and realized that he owed someone thirty taels of silver, and then he disappeared.

Anyone would be worried that he would run away with debts.

"What is your relationship with this Miss Mei?"

Qing Mu's eyes were filled with gossip, and he asked curiously, "Have you known each other for a long time and have you fallen in love with each other? Is it just because of the difference in family background that you can't be together?"

Where did you hear this ridiculous joke?

Chen Tang smiled helplessly and said, "Because I owe her money, she's afraid that I'll run away!"

"wrong."

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "If you want to collect the debt, just send a servant to come to my house. Why do you have to come here in person every time?"

"Besides, when she asked about you, she was obviously more worried about your safety. She even asked us which mountain you went to hunt."

Chen Tang said: "Of course, if I die, the thirty taels of silver will not be returned."

"certainly not."

Qing Mu said: "The Miss Mei never mentioned paying back the money when she came to visit. If you don't believe me, ask Master."

The fat old man nodded.

Qing Mu said: "Brother, don't let such a good girl down."

What does this have to do with anything?

Chen Tang knew Qing Mu was joking with him, so he didn't respond.

I happen to be going to the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School tomorrow to return the thirty taels of silver. If I see Mei Yingxue, I'll find out by asking her.

"So, how long do you two plan to stay here?"

Chen Tang looked at the fat old man and Qing Mu and asked straight to the point.

"Alas, I have to admit that I am old. I am too old to stay up late."

The fat old man sighed, pretended not to hear, and turned to go into the inner room.

Qing Mu blinked and said, "Brother, have a good dream at night. I'm going to sleep first."

After saying that, she turned and went into the house, leaving him with a graceful back.

Chen Tang didn't care.

We'll just stay here for one night, pay the money tomorrow and then go up the snow mountain.
