Chapter 585 Meeting after half a year
at the same time
In the Qilian Mountain camp, late at night, a black figure quietly left the camp and headed towards the dense forest not far away.
When he arrived deep into the dense forest, there were already several figures waiting there for a long time.
"See Master."
The people who came were a group of trusted men secretly cultivated by Jiang Ci. Feng Xuanchui did not know the existence of these people. Jiang Ci had begun to secretly cultivate them four years ago. The purpose was to prevent the two of them from falling out one day and causing a split within the Xuan Sect.
As he grew stronger, it was impossible for him to always obey his grandfather's arrangements, let alone become a pawn at his mercy.
So when he found out that his amnesia was not accidental, he tried to get in touch with these secret lines. This group of people were his trump cards, and he would not use this force unless it was absolutely necessary. But now he was always secretly monitored by his grandfather's people in the military camp, and the power he cultivated in the Xuan Sect was intentionally transferred out by his grandfather. Now the time has come when he has to play this card.
"How much do you know about my past two years?"
The leading black-clad man said respectfully, "We are the master's secret agents, planted in teahouses, gambling houses, taverns and other places in various prefectures. We don't know much about the master's specific whereabouts, but as far as I know, when Nanwei Prefecture was fleeing famine the year before last, you followed your sister-in-law and her family to flee famine, and eventually settled in Xinyang Prefecture."
Jiang Ci's heart was shocked and his eyes narrowed.
"My sister-in-law?" Why did he have no impression of this person?
He had some memories of fleeing the famine in his mind, but they were only fragmentary and incomplete. He only remembered that he had fled with people from several villages, but as for who was following him...
There it was again, that brain-tearing pain, which would torment him again and again whenever he tried to recall the memory.
Jiang Ci pinched his swollen and aching brows. His only nominal elder brother was Jiang Huan, but Jiang Huan died for him two years ago and was not married when he died. How could he have an extra sister-in-law?
"But Jiang Huan's wife?"
"That's right. That woman was the bride Jiang Huan married before he passed away. However, Jiang Huan died on the night she was married."
Jiang Ci thought to himself: Does this mean that she and Jiang Huan are just husband and wife in name only?
"How is my relationship with my sister-in-law?"
The leading black-clad man raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ci: "I don't know the specific situation, but I think you should be very fond of her."
Jiang Ci was in deep thought, wanting to figure out what had happened in the past two years. It seemed that he had to find his sister-in-law first. Perhaps he could get the truth from her.
"You should go to Xinyang Prefecture immediately and find the woman as soon as possible. Report back immediately when you have any news. Remember not to let anyone from Xuanzong Sect know about this."
Jiang Ci gave some instructions and several people immediately obeyed.
"Yes!"
"Master, have you contacted Nanwei Mansion?"
"Hold still for now."
Half of Xuanzong's disciples are my grandfather's people. Any slight movement in Nanwei Prefecture can be heard by him. Before finding out the truth, it is best not to alert the enemy and just play the game with them for a while.
When Jiang Ci returned to the tent, Ying Lie immediately appeared in front of him.
"Where has the master gone so late at night?"
"I couldn't sleep so I walked around."
"It's not safe in the deep mountains. It's better for the master to bring a few people to protect him wherever he goes in the future."
Jiang Ci glanced at Ying Lie coldly: "I want to rest, you can leave."
Yinglie accepted the order and bowed before leaving the tent.
Jiang Ci took off his cloak and outer shirt, took out the sachet and looked at it again and again. There was a faint medicinal fragrance in the sachet, which should contain some calming herbs. Every night when he put the sachet next to his pillow, he seemed to sleep much more soundly.
I am getting more and more curious about who gave him this sachet?
After Ying Lie left Jiang Ci's tent, a figure immediately appeared in front of him.
"The master invites you to come over."
Ying Lie nodded and went straight to Feng Xuanyu's tent.
Feng Xuanyu heard the report outside the account.
"Let him in."
Ying Lie lifted the curtain and walked straight into the tent.
"Subordinates, please see your master."
"What did Ah Ci do late at night tonight?"
Ying Lie knelt down immediately.
"I am incompetent. The young master's Qinggong is far superior to mine. When I found out that he was missing, the young master had already disappeared."
Feng Xuanfu frowned tightly.
"You are his personal shadow guard. You must always keep an eye on his every move. I don't want to see this situation again. Go down and receive twenty military sticks."
"Yes!"
After Ying Lie left, Qi Yan, who was standing beside Feng Xuanyu, spoke in a deep voice.
"I heard from the people below that the young master's attitude towards the princess has improved a lot recently. In my opinion, you don't have to worry too much."
Feng Xuanchu waved his hand and said, "You don't understand my grandson. He has a mind as deep as the sea and is extremely cunning. Even I can't see through him. Even if a smart person loses his memory, he will only forget some things, but he will not become stupid because of this. Pay more attention to his whereabouts recently and report any abnormalities in time."
"Subordinates take orders!"
-
In July, several days of continuous drizzle finally put out the surging heat wave.
At the largest dock in Xinyang Prefecture, porters were working together to deliver goods to the ship's cabin. A beautiful figure holding an oil-paper umbrella stood at the bow, watching batches of goods being loaded onto the ship.
"Miss Yan, all the goods have been loaded onto the ship. The rain is getting heavier. We need to get out of the ship as soon as possible. You should also go back quickly."
The person who was speaking was Chen Xiao, the master of Qi Tianyi and Yan Wu. In the past six months, Xu Wannian's medicine business in the capital has been booming. After some discussion with Yan Shu, he simply opened a pharmacy in the capital. In addition to the Liuwei Dihuang Pills, which continue to be popular, there are also medicines for treating coughs, gastrointestinal diseases, and tuberculosis. Since the herbs used are all grown naturally in the space, and the formula is also prepared by Yan Shu himself, the effect is naturally needless to say.
After several months of promotion, the sales of these medicines continued to rise, and some people even traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to buy the medicines. Xu Wannian's business was good, and more and more herbs were needed. Fortunately, the growth cycle in the space was short, and the whole family came out to help her farm, so the supply was barely enough.
Chen Xiao and Longwei Escort Agency were here to escort this batch of herbs back to Beijing on the orders of Xu Wannian. Due to continuous rain for several days, the rain was a little lighter today, so brother and sister Yan Shu and Yan Wu personally delivered the herbs to the dock.
Yan Wu took the basket off his back and handed it to Chen Xiao.
"Master, here are two jars of Zuixianju's fine wine, as well as some meat jerky, spicy crayfish, and spicy peanuts made by my little sister. In short, they are all good things to go with wine. If you are craving for it, you can satisfy your craving. When you return to Xinyang Prefecture, you must come to my house for a visit."
Chen Xiao patted Yan Wu on the shoulder with his big hand.
"I haven't seen you for half a year and your martial arts have improved a lot. People who practice martial arts cannot give up halfway and must practice diligently. Master will be back during the Chinese New Year and I will have a good exchange of ideas with you then."
Yan Wu nodded happily.
"I'm waiting for Master."
Chen Xiao looked at Yan Shu and said, "Take care, Miss Yan."
"Uncle Chen, too. Be careful on the road."
"Okay, go back now."
When Yan Shu and Yan Wu were about to get off the boat, a boatman hurried over.
"Manager Chen, there is a boat coming from behind. Our boat is blocking them from landing. Please give us a different position."
After hearing what the boatman said, Chen Xiao looked diagonally behind his cargo ship. There was a boat parked on the river not far away.
Yan Shu tilted the umbrella a little. The river was shrouded in mist, and he could vaguely see a few figures standing on the cabin.
"Second brother, let's go quickly so Uncle Chen and the others can leave."
"Master, we are leaving now."
After saying goodbye to Chen Xiao, the brother and sister hurriedly got off the boat and headed towards the carriage parked near the pier.
Jiang Ci stood in the cabin, following the beautiful figure with his eyes.
Although I couldn't see the woman's face clearly, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I looked at her figure.
"Whose boat is that?"
Ying Lie, who was standing aside, glanced at the flag fluttering on the bow of the ship.
"My Lord, it says on it that it is a Xu family merchant ship."
