Hsu Fengnian finally caught up with the Fish-dragon Gang before they entered the city. It was not a pleasant journey for the whole night and two days. After his Ocean of Qi was severely damaged by the woman, more than three hundred Aperture acupoints were turned upside down. Later, he found that she had implanted a lot of external Qi as sharp as Sword Qi. It was extremely difficult to peel off the cocoon. In order not to delay the cultivation of the sword, Hsu Fengnian almost went crazy after removing those disgusting and impure Qi. It was like looking for a few ants and cicadas in the huge Yanhui Pass. It was extremely difficult.
However, he still delayed the sword for a day, and Xu Fengnian scolded him all the way. Fortunately, this kind of extremely delicate and laborious work was similar to the way he carved the chess pieces in the Qingshui Pavilion Sword Practice Record on Mount Wudang. It had an indescribable benefit for digging deeper into the mystery of the Big Yellow Courtyard. The Big Yellow Courtyard was like a sword embryo. Old Man Li's two-sleeved green snake was hammered by the weight of ten thousand catties, while the latter was the quenching of the famous sword when it was finished. Both were indispensable.
After Hsu Fengnian reunited with the Fish-dragon Gang, he stopped the basic secret skill of the Big Yellow Court. Young Wang Dashi was very happy. Liu Nerong and Gongsun Yang, who must have bought the bowstring, nodded to Hsu Fengnian.
The city of Leaving was as prosperous as the big city of Lingzhou in the hinterland of Beiliang. The people of the Fish-dragon Gang, who were desolate after coming out of the Tuma Pass, no longer felt angry and hostile. They only felt that they had finally come back to life.
Hsu Fengnian had a forged letter from the former Army Supervisor of Weapons. The handwriting was exactly the same, but the content was changed. The seal was even more genuine, even the ink paste was taken from the treasures on this Wu San official's desk. Ordinary people could not imagine that the boorish general would fall in love with the Kui Hong ink paste from the House of Eight Treasures. This further confirmed the 'absolute authenticity' of the secret letter. According to the introduction in the letter, Xu Fengnian had transformed into the nephew of a distinguished guest in the General's Mansion, and his surname was Xu.
Hsu Fengnian naturally knew the address of the meeting. After entering the city, he asked someone for the way. Hsu Fengnian led the Fish-dragon Gang to a mansion that was actually built by officials and businessmen in Jiangnan. After the gatekeeper reported the secret letter, a thin old man in luxurious silk walked out. His footsteps were hurried. After seeing Hsu Fengnian, they first bowed to each other. The old man asked the gatekeeper to settle the people of the Fish-dragon Gang. Then he warmly took Hsu Fengnian's arm and stepped over the threshold together. He laughed and said, "I have been friends with Brother Qi for many years. Sister-In-Law's Frosty Eggplant was delicious. Even now, when I think about it, I still drool. There is no such delicacy in Leaving City."
Hsu Fengnian looked embarrassed and said, "Sister-In-Law's eggplant is too spicy and salty. Uncle Wei is used to it."
The thin old man squinted and smiled. He nodded slightly and held Hsu Fengnian's arm more tightly. He laughed and said, "Spicy and salty is the best way to eat. How are Brother Qi and sister-in-law's health? "
Hsu Fengnian sighed with a gloomy face, "Sister-In-Law's health is good. It's just that Uncle has an old lung disease when he was young. He can't get rid of it. When it rains, he coughs non-stop. It's worrying."
The old man was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "I have some snow lotuses here. You can bring some back for Brother Qi and stew it with rock sugar. It can nourish the stomach and lungs."
Hsu Fengnian made a gesture of wanting to bow in gratitude. The old man quickly supported him and pretended to be angry. "You child, we're all family. Why are you treating us as outsiders?"
Although the land in Liucheng wasn't as expensive as in the cities of the two dynasties, it still cost sixty to seventy thousand taels of silver to buy a decent residence. The residence of the old man surnamed Wei was a large residence with five entrances. It was impossible to buy it without 150,000 taels of silver. If there was such a residence in Great Peace City, it would be the envy of many third-rank officials who had been officials for many years. Going around the screen wall and the fake mountain, they walked along the central path. On the two sides, there was an accountant's house and a family school. The hall was grand and magnificent. Further in was the Flower Hall where banquets and music were held. There would most likely be a small pond filled with lotus flowers. This was probably the common characteristic of the residences of Jiangnan officials and merchants. The courtyard was deep, elegant, and quiet. Hsu Fengnian saw the armchairs in the hall that didn't quite match the style of Jiangnan. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Wei really is nostalgic. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used these Southern Tang Beauty Seats."
The old man sat and talked with Hsu Fengnian, Liu Nerong, and Gongsun Yang. When the three guests were seated, he placed his butt on the Beauty Seats and smiled from the bottom of his heart. "In this life, I won't be able to return to my roots, but I have to remember where I'm from, right?"
The old man sat down with a dozen or so shops in Liucheng. He exchanged polite greetings with Liu Nerong and Gongsun Yang. Compared to Hsu Fengnian, who was "his nephew," he was clearly much colder. He quickly stood and said, "I'm going to personally count the goods. I have to sell them for a good price for the Military Inspector. Otherwise, I can't afford to lose face. No need to see me off. Treat this as your own home. "
The two young and pretty servant girls stayed in the hall to serve people. Naturally, they were closer to Master Xu, who was more like a relative to the old master. The tea had only cooled a little before they asked Master Xu delicately if he wanted to change the tea.
