I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 48 Che Yilang

Li Bodu saw the pear tree planted in the yard again.

He shook his head in annoyance, and without waiting for Chen Zhian to invite him in, he walked into the clean and tidy yet somewhat cramped courtyard.

Chen Zhian turned his head to look at Li Bodu's broad back, and he suddenly thought of the woman in white whom he often dreamed of.

The General Xuan Zi in front of him, who commands an army of 90,000 Songhuai soldiers, actually has a very close blood connection with this body.

Chen Zhian was naturally not stupid enough to think that such a big shot in a high-ranking mansion, who had long been accustomed to the fickleness of human nature and the deceptions of others, would value this blood connection. So he simply did not say anything and just stood under the largest pear tree in the yard.

Li Bodu did not let Chen Zhian wait for long. Instead, he shook his head and said, "You have lived in this courtyard for seventeen years?"

Chen Zhian knew what Li Bodu wanted to say, so he smiled and said, "For the lords and gentlemen in the capital, this courtyard is indeed a little shabby, but in the past ten years, this courtyard has been sheltered from wind and rain, and I have never been hungry, and I have meat and vegetables for every meal.

Even in the wealthy Sunan Prefecture, not everyone can live the life I do."

Chen Zhian was not lying. From the steel jungle of his previous life, he suddenly came to the quaint Qihuang Street and this quiet little courtyard. He didn't have to worry about his livelihood. He was indeed content with such a life.

Over the past decade, Chen Shuijun has always protected him very well.

But...the only oversight was that accidental fall into the water.

As Chen Zhian thought about this, and because he had already been exposed to the path of spiritual practice and understood some of its secrets, he suddenly became suspicious.

"Uncle Chu said that my father had practiced in his early years and had a good understanding of the way of the sword. But why did I fall into the water so strangely?"

"I fell into the water at the junction of Qingshui River and Qihuang Street. I didn't have any injuries that would cause me to lose consciousness. I must have struggled for a while. My father was clearly in the yard that day and heard the noise in the streets and alleys. Didn't he hear it?"

"And there was the Taoist priest in black who appeared mysteriously and left mysteriously... He came in a hurry, and then my memories came one after another... This is really a bit... strange."

A lot of thoughts suddenly popped up in Chen Zhian’s mind.

"That mysterious Taoist in black appeared at the right time and disappeared at the right time."

After many twists and turns, we finally landed in one place.

His thoughts were in a mess. Li Bodu, who was not far away, had turned his head and looked him up and down.

The powerful General Xuan Zi showed no emotion on his face, but his eyes were somewhat cold.

"I don't know what chance you had, except that I didn't look at you carefully the first time I was on Qihuang Street.

Every time I see you from now on, you are very different from the last time I saw you."

Li Bodu said: "The blood, energy and true essence in your body are growing rapidly. Even I am a little surprised."

Chen Zhian knew that people like Li Bodu had probably reached the Yuque realm. Even though the Yuque realm was profound and lofty, there were still highs and lows within it.

But even if Yu Que was weak, looking at the blood, energy and true essence in his body, he would be afraid that at a glance, he would find it almost impossible to escape from his sight.

“I have to say that your talent is better than Chen Shuijun’s. After all, you have the blood of my Li family flowing in your body.

The blood of aristocratic families is extraordinary in its own way and is naturally noble.

If you can practice well, relying on the bloodline of my Li family, you will have the opportunity to join the Xuanmen in the future, and you can expect to achieve innate cultivation. With innate cultivation, no matter how vast the world is, you will have a place to go. "

Li Bodu spoke slowly and in a low voice.

Chen Zhian looked at Li Bodu with some confusion.

He still remembered the first time Li Bodu came to Qihuang Street to meet Chen Shuijun, he never even looked at him from beginning to end.

How come he had the leisure to come all the way to him today and say these things?

Just as he was wondering, Li Bodu frowned slightly and said in a solemn and cold voice: "Only my Great Yu Xuan Tianjing is not a place for you to go. Chen Zhian... don't come to Xuan Tianjing!"

Chen Zhian heard what Li Bodu said and shook his head: "General Xuan Zi, although Chen Zhian is just a commoner...but there is no provision in my Dayu law that commoners cannot go to the prosperous and bustling Kyoto to take a look."

Li Bo was silent for two or three breaths and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid." Chen Zhian shook his head.

Li Bodu's eyes turned even colder, and he snorted, "Although you have the blood of the Li family, you are the son of Chen Shuijun after all. Sometimes you should be afraid." Chen Zhian said, "The reason why I am not afraid is not because of the blood of the Li family. General Xuan Zi is a general in a high position, commanding soldiers in armor. For anyone in Sunan Mansion, the general is a real big shot.

I am just a teenager who is not even 18 years old, and now I am alone at home. My courtyard is opposite the Iron Arm General's mansion. The guards at the door, or the Iron Arm General in the mansion, must have known that the general is in my courtyard. If a person like the general came to my courtyard and poisoned and beat me, or even killed me while my father is not around, to wipe out this stain on the Li family... It sounds really bad."

He looked calm and said, "A person who is able to sit in such a high position and has achieved great success in cultivation must be somewhat arrogant. He would not attack me."

"You are as disgusting as your father."

Li Bodu also said the same thing as Si Hougui, he shook his head and said: "The laws of Dayu naturally do not have a rule that common people cannot go to Xuan Tianjing.

But for you, Xuantianjing is full of whirlpools, and you are like a dead branch drifting in the river. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the whirlpool.

And before swallowing it, it will also disturb your mother's mood.

Instead of that, why do you have to go to Xuan Tianjing?"

Chen Zhian was a little surprised. How did Li Bodu know that he was going to Xuantianjing?
"General, please tell me clearly what whirlpools there are in Xuantianjing?"

"My Li family is the biggest vortex." Li Bodu did not shy away from it. He turned around and slowly walked towards the gate: "Your coming to Xuan Tianjing will definitely cause trouble. By then, it is inevitable that my Li family will be tired of you."

"And the younger generation of the Si family will definitely regard you as a thorn in their side. A noble family like the Si family is always more domineering."

Chen Zhi listened quietly.

He thought that Li Bodu had finished talking about the Li family and the Si family, but he heard Li Bodu say, "Besides that, since you followed Chu Muye to the capital, many aristocratic families in the capital will naturally be interested in you... The new Minister of War is Song Xiangqing. He has an official position, and many sharp swords in the dark cannot harm him, but what about you?"

"I'm going to follow Chu Muye into Beijing? How come I didn't know that?" Chen Zhian lowered his head, as if he was carefully digesting Li Bodu's words.

Li Bodu had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Xuan Tianjing is not your way. Don't go there anymore. Chen Zhian, go somewhere else and find a proper and correct way."

Chen Zhian suddenly shook his head: "General Xuan Zi, everyone has his own path, where in the world is there an absolutely appropriate and absolutely correct path?
Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't go, but I wrote a letter before, in which I said 'We'll meet someday'. If I don't go, wouldn't that be breaking the promise?"

Li Bodu suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him coldly: "Chen Zhian, think clearly, as you said just now, you are just a commoner, a commoner, an ordinary boy. Even if the sharp sword in the dark of Xuan Tianjing is not specifically aimed at you, can you block the splashing sword light? Without the protection of fame and official status, you went to Xuan Tianjing...

But you will die!"

"Will you die?" Chen Zhian lowered his eyelids and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard on Qihuang Street.

Li Bodu and Chen Zhian both looked outside the courtyard.

However, the plaque of the Sunan Prefecture government office was seen standing high in the hands of two yamen runners, and the yamen's deputy director was riding a horse, followed by seven or eight iron-clad guards.

On the white horse next to the Tongzhi was a man in his twenties with a somewhat frivolous look.

The man was wearing a patched robe with the pattern of "Xiezhi eating flying fish" and a long sword with the shape of the previous emperor and made by the Inspectorate on his waist. He held the reins of a horse and had a piece of straw in his mouth...

"【Inspectorate Office Earth Character Xiezhi Envoy】?"

Li Bodu's expression remained unchanged, but he was somewhat confused.

Until the Tongzhi of Sunan Prefecture and the Xiezhi with the word "di" came to Chen Zhian's courtyard.

Li Bodu thought they came because of him, so he took a step forward and was about to speak.

However, the Tongzhi and the Xiezhi envoy saluted him together. Then the young Xiezhi envoy looked at Chen Zhian in the yard and spat out the straw in his mouth.

The Tongzhi solemnly took out a memorial.

"Chen Zhian, a native of Sunan Prefecture in Suwu Prefecture, cut off one arm of Qi Tianchong of Xi Penglai with a knife during a heavy rain that day, and killed the fugitive from Dayu and the bandit from Xi Penglai Qiu Sanxiu. He was rewarded with the eighth rank of Wenxun and the Meritorious Bi for his meritorious service in protecting the imperial officials, and was therefore... [Che Yi Lang]."

Chen Zhian raised his eyebrows.

Even though I don't hold an official position, I still have honors... It's not impossible.
