Flowing Cloud

Chapter 22

The snow in Chunyang was flying upwards, a group of carriages came in the wind and snow, it was Qi Jin and his group who were waiting.Qi Jin missed the matter of Xie Yunliu, so he didn't stay in the capital for long, and hurried back to Chunyang after the Qionglin banquet was over.Traveling lightly and traveling fast, it seemed like fleeing from disaster.

The fact is also the same, the Qionglin Banquet, the sage got drunk and asked the ministers about making Qi Jin a national teacher.No matter whether they are pure or not, the people in the court have no aversion to Qi Jin. Although Qi Jin has made friends with many people in the officialdom these years, he doesn't lean towards any side, and his reputation in the world is also good.Now the Holy One asked this question, although it was a drunken speech, but everyone understood that it was just an excuse to get drunk to see everyone's reaction.All the people in the court are also human beings, so naturally they all agree.

In this way, even though the Holy Majesty did not ask about this matter again on the second day, everyone knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and they only owed the imperial decree in black and white.As soon as this incident happened, the originally quiet courtyard gradually became warmer. In order to keep quiet, Qi Jin simply returned to Chunyang quietly, leaving only a letter to Gao Lishi to explain the whole story.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Qi Jin, who was resting with his eyes closed, was taken aback for a moment. Could it be that he encountered some situation, and when he opened the curtain of the car, he saw a man with a long sword on his back, standing not far in front of the car in a leather jacket.

"Eldest brother." Qi Jin was surprised that Xie Yunliu would be here, since this place is still half a day away from Chunyang.

Xie Yunliu nodded, and got into the carriage on his own, the wind and snow brought up made Yang Yuhuan, who was still sleeping soundly, shiver from the cold.Seeing this, Qi Jin wrapped the child in another layer of quilt.

Xie Yunliu looked at the child wrapped in a silkworm cocoon beside Qi Jin, and the ice and snow between his brows melted away: "Is this your new apprentice?"

"Well, her name is Yang Yuhuan."

"Why is senior brother here?"

"Wait for you."

Hearing that Qi Jin was about to return early this morning, he ran here to wait early, but he couldn't tell what his thoughts were, so he just waited like this for about half a day.Qi Jin was thinking while comforting Yang Yuhuan, who was sleeping extremely restlessly beside him.In the end, he came up with an idea that he even felt a little unbelievable: Could it be that the senior brother is afraid.

Yes, I'm afraid.Xie Yunliu lived alone in Dongying for ten years, and the world has already changed in the Central Plains. Even the Chunyang Palace has been renovated several times, and it is no longer what it used to be, and it is even more magnificent.Everything will not return to the original appearance, and it is inevitable that Xie Yunliu will be timid.

Qi Jin looked at Xie Yunliu, seeing that his expression was a little dazed, living up to the brilliance when he first saw him, and made a judgment in his heart.

"Brother, follow me back to Chunyang."

Xie Yunliu remained silent, it wasn't that he didn't want to go back, but he didn't know how to see Master with his face.

Originally heard that Master returned to Chunyang.Xie Yunliu went up the mountain several times, but unfortunately he stopped at the entrance of the mountain.

Ten years, he has been away from Chunyang for ten years, except for the initial anticipation, nostalgia gradually turned into fear.He was afraid to face it, what would happen if Master didn't forgive him when he went back?What if I forgive myself?

Under the misunderstanding back then, I acted in a hurry and used ten successes. Even if the master didn't blame me, the two juniors understood my difficulties, so what about the others?He is the sword demon Xie Yunliu, how much blood was stained on his hands all the way back then.But he is just an ordinary person. Although he knows some things, he still can't see them.

Qi Jin knew about Xie Yunliu's struggle, and heard from Luo Feng that every day Xie Yunliu would go to the foot of Chunyang Mountain to stay for half a day, and would return at dusk.Qi Jin didn't know what he was waiting for, he only knew that going on like this was not the solution after all.

When he came to the foot of Chunyang Mountain, Xie Yunliu stopped moving forward again. Naturally, Qi Jin would not let him repeat what he had done before, and he grabbed Xie Yunliu's hand and dragged him up the mountain.

In the past, the hall was solemn and solemn, but today it is even more so.It is rare to gather all the disciples of Chunyang's generation in the hall, and they all looked at Lu Dongbin, the son of Chunyang, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.Xie Yunliu felt even more difficult to breathe when he knelt on the top of the hall.

Lu Dongbin looked at the silver threads on Xie Yunliu's head, and sighed in his heart.Ten years later, his eldest apprentice, who was only in his 30s, had gray hair.What happened back then was because I never blamed him, at most I was just annoyed that he didn't ask the reason, it is really a great fortune in this life to be able to meet again now.

Lu Dongbin wanted to say something, but so many words turned into a sigh. "It's good to be back."

"Master." No matter how strong Xie Yunliu was, he couldn't help crying when he heard these words.So many years of uneasiness, so many years of guilt turned into lines of tears in this instant.

The rest of the people retreated silently, and only the master and apprentice were silently consoling in the hall.

Yang Yuhuan was a little flustered when she woke up and couldn't see her master. Although she was young, she knew that her parents gave her to her master, but now that she was gone in Chunyang, she couldn't help but feel wronged.Want to cry but dare not, the father in the family used to hate people crying the most.He got out of bed lightly, hoping to find Master.Not far from Tai Chi Square, a group of low-level disciples gathered together and said something.Seeing that they were dressed somewhat similarly to their master, Yang Yuhuan walked over in a steady step.

"What, the person who bullied the master and killed the ancestor, the master actually let him come back."

"Keep your voice down, I heard that it was just a misunderstanding back then." Some disciples whispered, but the tone did not seem to be justifying.

"There's no misunderstanding. Back then when he was friends with Emperor Fei, who knows if he had some ulterior motives." A man dressed as a cook sneered.

"Uncle Qi is the same, he actually brought this person up the mountain."

Everyone chattered about Xie Yunliu's fault, and suddenly one person said: "If you want me to say, these two people are actually the same."

"How to say?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, the man said slowly: "Look, this Uncle Qi and Xie Yunliu are not all the same. It's just that our Uncle Qi is lucky to rely on the current sage to be his backer. Maybe he was named a national teacher. Maybe Xie Yunliu relied on the abolished emperor in order to take root in the imperial court, but it is a pity that his luck was not good and he found the wrong backer."

"What, why did Uncle Qi take the position of national teacher!" some disciples who didn't know about it shouted.

"That's right, if you talk about qualifications, you should be the master. If the master doesn't want it, then you should be the real person in charge of the teaching. How can you get Master Qi." After hearing this, all the disciples agreed, most of these people were under Li Wangsheng's sect. Disciple, although Qi Jin usually takes care of them well, sometimes people are like this.

"Fate is good, don't you see that His Majesty has to summon Uncle Qi every year, we don't have that kind of blessing to be the head teacher." The man gave the cook a wink after finishing speaking.The cook understood it, and pretended to be mysterious: "I heard that Uncle Qi not only preaches to the saint, but also often goes to the residence of Princess Yuzhen."

"The princess Yuzhen who has entered the Tao?" Everyone was quickly attracted by the chef's words.

"Tsk tsk, who knows that Qi Zhenren preaches every time, doesn't he..." The cook was hit by a snowball before he finished speaking.It turned out that Yang Yuhuan was going to find Master among these big brothers, but she didn't want to hear these people talk. So smashed in the past.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw that it was just a girl doll, Chunyang didn't seem to have such a young disciple.Suddenly a disciple remembered and said: "Isn't this the little girl brought back by Master Qi?"

Yang Yuhuan's snowballs kept hitting the cook, and the cook became annoyed, and he raised his hand to give her a slap.

Mu Sheng sent Yang Yuhuan ginger soup and couldn't find it everywhere. Finally, when he arrived at the Tai Chi Square, he saw a cook raised his hand and didn't know what to do to Yang Yuhuan, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"

Everyone ran away when they saw that it was Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng is Qi Jin's eldest disciple, and his status and seniority in this Chunyang are all well-known. The senior sister knows that she will peel off her skin even if she is not dead. You must know that this senior sister is extremely protective of Master Qi, and she doesn't listen to any gossip.

Mu Sheng picked up Yang Yuhuan, who was still depressed, and went back to the room, not paying much attention to it.After they left, the cook and his disciple came out from the side, and they looked at each other, tacit understanding.

Naturally, Qi Jin and Xie Yunliu didn't know what the disciples of Chunyang Palace were talking about, and now they were staying in Xie Yunliu's room back then.The things in the house are still spotless as usual, and it seems that someone often takes care of them.

After Xie Yunliu left, this house was forbidden to enter and leave, but special disciples came to clean it every day. They always looked forward to the day when Xie Yunliu would come back, but they didn't expect that this wait would last for ten years.

Xie Yunliu caressed the objects in the room, his heart was filled with indescribable emotions.Qi Jin knew that Xie Yunliu needed some time to calm down, so he naturally didn't stop, said goodbye and went outside the house.Just as he stepped out of the door, he was stopped again, but he turned around and Xie Yunliu didn't say anything for a long time. After waiting for a long time, Xie Yunliu said: "Junior brother, thank you."

Walking out of the door, the moon and stars outside the house are scarce, and tomorrow is expected to be a fine weather, thinking of Qi Jin's mood also improves.

The author has something to say: In the previous chapter, it was a bit wrong to directly address the emperor as the emperor. This chapter is changed to the emperor, and the revision will be made when the article is finished.

Because the time between writing is long, please let me know if you have any adjustment problems.
