Chapter 10 Return to Jiang's

The most worry-free Ai'er was finally taken over by the sword saint Min Yu as his successor.

The largest stone that had been pressing down on Yàn's centrifuge finally landed heavily.

Without any worries, Yànli could no longer suppress his concern for his beloved wife, and he was almost like an arrow.

The disguise master introduced to him by Xiuli was the middle-aged scholar named Ning Zhong among the nine guards of Yinxia.

The other party looked gentle, but he created an amazing disguise technique.

He prepared something similar to mud, and first applied a light layer on Yànli's face, making Yànli's originally fair skin dark.

Then, while the mud on his face had not dried, he pinched out extremely realistic subtle wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and finally dyed his temples white.

The handsome and elegant appearance of Yàn Li then became a down-and-out middle-aged scholar with an ordinary appearance, a slightly white temple and a dusty face.

Yàn was comparing in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and couldn't help but be amazed.

His facial features and bones had not changed at all, but his face was still the same face. He just applied a layer of things to make subtle changes, and his whole person completely turned into another appearance.

Even he could hardly recognize his original appearance by looking in the mirror, let alone mention others.

Knowing that Yàn Li was eager to return to Chu State, before leaving, Ning Zhong, who was also one of the nine guards in the lower Yin Dynasty, also presented him with a clearance talisman that contrasted with his identity and appearance as a farewell gift.

The pass talisman is a necessary procedure for entering the city. Without the pass talisman in hand, I changed my new appearance to the pass talisman, and I couldn't even enter the Wangdu gate.

Yàn Li knew that Ning Zhong had implicitly showing kindness to his gift, a big reason was because of his love for his son, not because of him, but he was still very grateful.

Afterwards, Yànli said goodbye to Xiuli who was reluctant to leave, and returned home like an arrow, and kept rushing all the way.

He first went north along the direction of Yinxia Palace.

More than a month later, after passing through the territory of the Flying Eagle clan, Yàn was fortunate enough to get the help of several Flying Eagle clan members.

For the remaining half a month, he rode the raft given to him by the Flying Eagle tribe, followed the waterway, and finally left Yin Realm two months after leaving Yinxia Palace.

When he set foot on the land of the Chu King's Capital again, more than eight months had passed since he was attacked in the Changliu Mountains that day.

The spacious royal capital road, the road is lined with dense houses and shops, with pedestrians, ladies, merchants and travelers, and the streets are noisy, bustling, bustling, and prosperity is as ever.

Looking at the familiar prosperous scene, Yàn Li was not very moved.

Walk along the main street of Wangcheng.

At that time, nearly nine months later, when he returned to the gate of the Jiang family mansion again, Yàn Li suddenly looked like a wanderer who had not returned for a long time. After he was about to return home, he suddenly felt timid.

It has been almost nearly a year since I left my beloved wife and the family behind me.

What is the current situation in the capital? Has the family found out the mastermind?

What are the plans for the Jiang family’s future?

All these things are unknown.

And is she okay after learning that his whereabouts are unknown and life or death?

As the actual leader of the Jiang clan, she knew very well that her beloved wife was in the position. No matter how sad and angry she was in her heart, she wanted to send troops out to search immediately, she could not do that.

Jiang Qingyue must put the family behind her first priority and the overall situation first.

Therefore, the disappearance of Yàn Li and her son, Jiang Qingyue could only bear this sad result by herself.

Although YànLi knew that his beloved wife had always been strong, she could not imagine how serious the blow this would cause to her when it happened.

Now nearly nine months have passed, has Jiang Qingyue accepted this unacceptable consequence?

Have other men appeared around her now?

This is a problem that Yàn Li has never been willing to think deeply, but until now, he has to face seriously.

Jiang Qingyue has always been a suitor, but for the past decade, her suitors have not decreased because she is married and has a beloved son.

Jiang Qingyue never slandered these suitors.

After many years of marriage, the couple has always been in harmony with each other and has a very deep relationship.

Yànli has always had absolute confidence in his beloved wife and the deep relationship between the couple.

But that is based on the premise that he is still alive.

In Jiang Qingyue's deeply loved husband and son, all of whom are unknown for such a long time, everything is a huge change.

As the former Prince, Yàn Li had experienced the tragedy of the country and the family being destroyed. He had already developed a strong heart.

Only his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue is the only soft part in his heart.

During these days when he was in the Yin realm, Yiàn Li was alone every night, and he missed his beloved wife.

This is also the main reason why he has obviously come back but suddenly becomes timid.

Because of the loving wife, those who are tenacious and have a strong heart and nature, will inevitably worry about gains and losses at this moment.

But he is very human after all.

After cleaning up your mind, Yàn Li finally entered the Jiang Mansion with a new look.

He changed his face and naturally became famous.

In front of outsiders, his surname is Xu, his pronunciation is Yiqiao, and he was born in Qi.

Like the former Yàn, Qi State was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty many years ago. The Qi people were scattered and scattered to various countries. There were not many Qi people and diners in the Jiang family's mansion. This identity could not attract others' attention to the greatest extent.

At the same time, there was a bead under his tongue that could change his voice consciousness. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice changed drastically, so there was no need to worry about being seen through the sound.

At the gate of Jiang's mansion, there were people coming and going, and guests kept coming in and out.

When he saw a stranger appear, a servant in the mansion immediately stepped forward to ask about his purpose.

When I learned that Yàn Li, who was named Xu Qiao, came to the door to send food to Jiang, the servants in the mansion were neither hot nor cold.

If you want to become a diner of my Jiang family, you need to get the approval of Fang Xing from the butler in our mansion. Please follow me.Yànli was then taken to the reception front hall where the Jiang clan's butler was located.

Our butler is still busy, please wait here first.

After saying this, the servant who led the way turned around and left.

The servant in the front hall came in and served tea and retreated, without continuing to greet him.

Yàn Li was quietly waiting in the front hall.

In the past, his identity was a son-in-law of the Jiang clan, and he was respected by everyone wherever he went.

This was Yànli's treatment so coldly in the first time, but he was not impatient at all.

It was carefully considered that he chose to return to Jiang's family as a diner.

The powerful and noble families in the Central Plains all have the custom of raising diners. These diners who are fed in the families of princes and ministers have different identities than family servants. They do not need to do errand work and have a fixed monthly salary.

Only when the owner needs to do something will he arrange work for the diners.

As one of the three major clans of the Chu State, the Jiang family even had the power to support private soldiers, and there were many diners under their ranks.

Although there is no comparison with the thousands of diners under the Crown Prince Beilinjun, there are also hundreds of diners in the Jiang clan.

Most of these people have a skill. Most of them are idle in the mansion on weekdays, and they don’t have to do errands. When they encounter important things, they have the opportunity to meet senior executives of the Jiang family.

And being mixed into diners and not being paid attention to by the outside world, it is very suitable for Yàn's current identity.

However, in the past, diners were usually inspected by deacons in the family, and they were kept if appropriate, and the conditions were quite relaxed.

Now that Yàn has come, he has to be personally inspected by the butler who can be regarded as a daily business, proving that the Jiang family has strictly conquered the conditions for taking in outsiders.

After waiting in the front hall for more than an hour, Jiang Fu, the chief steward of Jiang's family, finally arrived late under the crowd of several servants.

Jiang Fu sat casually in the main seat, and the servant beside him respectfully handed him a cigarette pipe.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the lower head, while swallowing clouds and fog, slowly saying.

I am Jiang Fu, the chief steward of the Jiang clan. How dare you ask what is the name of sir?

He said sir, but his tone was casual and distracting, and it seemed that he did not take him seriously before confirming his talent.

Yàn Li Yi Li said: The surname is Xu, his name is Qiao, and he is a native of Qi.Jiang Fu said oh, it turned out to be a Qi person.

His eyes lit up slightly and he said.

I wonder what Mr. Xu’s sword skills are?

The most valued thing for diners is their talent. If they are outstanding, they can become guests of honor no matter where they go.

The Qi people are world-famous with the endless number of first-class swordsmen, and their reputations are even better than those of the martial Qin people.

I am good at playing the piano and chess skills, but I have never been involved in swordsmanship.Yànli replied.

Jiang Fu couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this.

The Qi people's good swords are famous in the Central Plains countries.

It can be said that at least a few of the ten people in the Universe can use swords and they use them well.

It is now the time to use people, and the two masters have told him that when he meets a good swordsman who comes to surrender, he will try his best to stay as long as his background is OK.

Although the middle-aged scholar in front of him looked dusty, Jiang Fuguan had a natural demeanor in his every move.

With Jiang Fu's eyesight, he also needs to admit that he can't see through him. This feeling usually only arises in people with strong martial arts.

When Jiang Fu subconsciously thought that the other party was carrying a powerful swordsmanship when he heard that he was a Qi person.

But I didn't expect to hear the exact opposite answer.

But since he said he could not, there was no need to lie. It was just that the degree of reuse he received was a world of difference between knowing how to use a sword and not knowing how to use a sword.

During this period, Jiang even fired dozens of diners who did not understand swordsmanship and had only one skill.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fu couldn't help frowning.

When Yàn Li saw this, his heart couldn't help but feel slightly sank.

He grew up in the palace since he was a child and was proficient in both chess, calligraphy and swords. He thought that with his skills, he could easily enter the Jiang family.

But I never thought that judging from Jiang Fu's reaction, the Jiang clan seemed to be willing to accommodate people with skilled swordsmanship.

Today, he can no longer use the sword technique he relies on to be proud of.

Will you be turned away from the door?

If so, he had to find another way.

While thinking.

Jiang Fuben frowned, as if he was ready to see him off.

At this time, he didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly asked: Mr. Xu is good at playing chess, so what about the flower art?Yàn Li was a little surprised and immediately replied: I also got a little bit involved.After hearing this, Jiang Fu nodded and ordered a servant beside him to invite Mr. Hu.

Yes, the butler.Mr. Hu, whom Jiang Fu mentioned, was named Hu Mo. He was one of the guests of the Jiang clan. His swordsmanship was one of the top hundreds of diners in the Jiang clan, and he was quite skillful.

Yàn Li knew the reason why Jiang Fu sent someone to invite him was because Hu Mo was born in Qi.

It is not a simple thing to be a diner of Jiang.

In addition to having a skillful talent, your origin and background must also be clean, otherwise anyone can come in at will, and no powerful family can be so stupid.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came.

A middle-aged man with long beards and a high hat walked into the hall and sat down at the lower head opposite Yàn.

This Mr. Hu, like you, Mr. Xu, both come from Qi.Yànli quickly gave a polite gift.

Hu Mo nodded coldly, and then asked lightly: I wonder where Mr. Xu is?

When he asked this, he used a homonym with a considerable difference in the accent from Chu.

Yàn Li knew that the other party wanted to verify him in this regard, and immediately responded in a skillful Qi language.

Below are people from Jin'an. After their home country was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, they have been wandering in several countries and only lived in Chu three years ago.

Hu Mo's expression was slightly slower, and he asked several questions one by one, and Yàn Li answered them one by one.

After asking, Hu Mo looked at Jiang Fuwei's head with his chin, indicating that he had no problem with his origin and identity.

There was nothing he had done next, Hu Mo claimed the crime and left first.

Seeing this, Yàn Li knew that he had passed the level.

He pretended to be Qi Ren and chose deliberately, because Qi Ren was good at swordsmanship. Among the six teachers who taught him swordsmanship, two of them were Qi Ren and others.

Qi State was adjacent to the former Yiàn. After it was annexed by the powerful Qin Dynasty, a large number of Qi people were trapped in various countries.

In addition to the two swordsman teachers who were from Qi, there were also several ministers among the former court officials.

As the former Prince Yàn, Yàn Li learned a skillful speech under the influence of his eyes and ears.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Hu Mo, who was born in Qi, had already relaxed, and the following few questions were just routine.

Jiang Fu's expression also relaxed, nodded to Yànli, and said: Mr. Xu just said that he had some knowledge of flower art, which was just right.

Our wife has a precious garden. Recently, somehow, many precious varieties of flowers have caused insects to be infected, but they cannot be cured even after being invited to see them. They all died. The wife felt very distressed.Mr. Xu followed me to see if there was any way to cure it.A ray of light flashed through Yànli's eyes and disappeared.

Yes, the butler.Jiang Fu immediately moved his fat body and personally led Yàn to Qingyue Garden where the garden was located.

The largest mansion in Jiang's family covers an area of ​​more than ten acres and is composed of four beautiful gardens in the southeast, west and north.

The most beautiful garden among them is Qingyue Garden, where Jiang Qingyue lives alone.

The garden they are about to go to is located in the back garden of Qingyue Garden.

It was related to the garden that his third lady cherished the most. Jiang Fu did not dare to neglect it. He reminded Yànli while walking.

This garden is the garden that our wife loves the most. There are more than 70 different kinds of flowers planted in it. Although not each one is very precious, it is all the ones that our wife and son-in-law like. Therefore, each plant needs to be carefully treated and should not be careless.

Without Jiang Fu's explanation, Yàn Li knew better than anyone else.

The back garden of Qingyue Garden is the place he and his wife come most often on weekdays. There are many flowers in the garden cut by the couple themselves.

The couple's deep love can be said to have accumulated over time in this beautiful garden.

Every flower and plant in the garden witnesses their deep affection.

But of course he couldn't show it on the outside, he had to be respectful.

After entering Qingyue Garden, I became nervous rarely.

Along the way, he was wondering whether he would see his beloved wife he had been thinking about day and night.

But until he came to the back garden, Yànli did not meet his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue.

I can't tell whether it's a blessing or a loss in my heart.

Arrived, it's here.I don’t know what happened recently, but there seem to be insect pests in the garden. There are many species that have withered and dead. Many people have been invited, but the effect is still limited.When the butler Jiang Fu said this, he had a headache.

He was the chief steward of the Jiang family. He was originally a small garden, and he would plant it more if it was broken.

But the garden is the garden that their third lady Jiang Qingyue loves the most. Not to mention heavy planting, even if any flower in the garden withered, he dared not neglect at all.

Yànli came back to his senses from his thoughts, nodded, and walked into the garden.

I saw a dazzling sea of ​​flowers, filled with fragrance, which made me feel refreshed.

When Jiang Qingyue is free, she will always come here to enjoy the flowers with her husband Yàn. Occasionally, when she is in a good mood, the couple will water the flowers themselves.

Yànli came to a cluster of roses, squatted down and looked carefully for a while, then said to the butler beside him.

This rose should be newly planted, but their plants are too dense, and leaf blight is prone to occur in the current season. Look, their leaves and edges have turned purple, and there are small yellow dots. This is the specific manifestation of leaf blight.

Jiang Fu, who was standing beside him, his eyes lit up and immediately asked excitedly: How to cure it?

The main cure for roses is to prevent.Yànli pondered.

First, clean up the infected plants and transfer other healthy plants to other places to avoid getting wet from rain, while reducing the density of planting between plants.Upon hearing this, Jiang Fu immediately ordered someone to order the female flower workers who were taking care of the garden to do what Yàn said.

Subsequently, Yàn Li then took prevention and treatment measures to deal with several flower species with diseases and pests in the back garden.

After a while, Jiang Fu clearly felt that Yàn Li had real skills.

His fat body was trembling with joy.

Mr. Xu came in time, which was really great.In this way, in the future, the garden will be fully handed over to the teacher. I wonder what the teacher wants?

This errand can be said to be in the right direction.

If it were other positions, it would be no easy task to meet Jiang Qingyue, who was in charge of the Jiang family.

Although there are still other ways to see her, it is naturally best if you have a fake identity outside and can meet Jiang Qingyue in a more natural way without attracting the attention and suspicion of others.

Yàn naturally has no reason to refuse.

Thank you, butler.

The butler Jiang Fu patted his shoulder and said kindly: Just because Mr. Luke is so hard.

Before leaving, Jiang Fu still reminded him.

This garden is still the most beloved garden of the wife. She would come here to appreciate the flowers from time to time. The husband took good care of the flowers. The wife was happy when she saw it, but she became a celebrity in front of her.Yàn had to thank him again helplessly against his will.

Thank you, butler.Jiang Fu patted his shoulder again and left.

But having said that, in the next nearly half month, Jiang Qingyue never even stepped into the garden.

Fortunately, Yàn Li Chenggong lived in the Jiang clan as a diner.

It's only a matter of time to reunite with your beloved wife.

In this way, another five or six days passed.

In the evening of the day, Yànli came to the back garden with some flower seeds.

A few days ago, some incurable flower plants in the garden that were sick and pested were cleaned up by him, so some new seeds needed to be replanted.

Because Yàn Li was waiting for the opportunity to meet his beloved wife again, he rarely used those female flower workers, and most of the time he did his job himself.

The garden covers a very wide area, which is enough to match the width of several ordinary houses.

Yàn Li squatted at the northwest corner of the garden with concentration, and was burying the seeds one by one under the soil carefully, and footsteps were heard in his ears.

Since he was penetrated by Nian Zhong's poisoned sword and his heart veins were cut off, although he completely lost the ability to compete with others, the ears and eyes of Yàn Li did not seem to be affected.

Not only does it have no impact, it is even strangely more sensitive than before, and cannot be explained by common sense.

The footsteps were at least two hundred steps away from him, and he could clearly hear two people coming in his ears.

One step is heavier, the other step is lighter.

It was the footsteps of his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue!

Yàn Li's heart couldn't help but jump up quickly.

She is finally here!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yànli did not stand up rashly.

Because he did not forget that there was another person beside Jiang Qingyue.

He planned to wait a while, maybe the other party would leave after a while, and it would be the most ideal to leave his wife here to enjoy the flowers.

The other man's steps were a little heavy, but he was very calm, which made Yàn Li feel familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

News came from Qi's family. I heard that Qi Taigong was seriously ill and now he was at the point where he could not speak.

At this time, a familiar male voice faintly reached Yànli's ears.

The handsome face of Qi Qing, the young master of Yishang, immediately appeared in his mind.

The Prince of the Yishang is the guest of Jiang's family. This noble young man with great swordsmanship is very good at catching up with the three swordsmen. He has a wide connection in the Chu State and has helped Jiang resolve many crises.

Not only are they highly respected by Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li, but they are also trusted and valued by Jiang Qingyue and Yànli.

It would not be surprising that he and Jiang Qingyue appeared here to talk.

But what he said made Yànli feel shocked.

The Taigong of Qi was a veteran in the court of the same period as the Duke of Jiang. His status and importance in the Qi clan were even greater than that of Duke of Jiang.

He has always advocated a friendship with the Jiang family, but now it is so unspeakable. It seems that the Qi family, which is also among the three major clans, will inevitably usher in huge turmoil.

The impact caused may affect Jiang's family.

As Qi Qing finished speaking, his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue, whom he had been thinking about day and night, came to his ears, and his gentle and pleasant voice.

Taigong Qi has always been quite strong, and he never thought that he would take such a sudden turn. He had no choice but to have a noble witch goddess.

I heard her sigh, when the Taigong of Qi leaves, the relationship between my Jiang family and Qi family will never be able to return to the intimate past.

There is no way to do this either.

Qi Qing comforted, even the witch goddess who can pray for the wind and rain, and drive away evil spirits and avoid harm, can't turn the world back, Yue Ji can see it a little.Jiang Qingyue sighed again.

That's all.

Qi Qing, the young master of the Yishang, seemed to have no intention of leaving.

As the two of them talked, they got more and more inside.

I was squatting in the northwest corner of the garden, and I felt very hesitant and couldn't tell whether I should show up.

If Jiang Qingyue was alone, it would be the best time to recognize each other.

But there was a young master next to her, so things were much more complicated.

Although the young master in the city is deeply trusted by the couple and discusses everything with great things, after all, the relationship between the two brothers of Jiang Qingyue is now very important. In addition to his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue, the rest, including Jiang Qingyue's two brothers, must not be disclosed.

Qi Qing, the young master of the Yishang, was naturally not within the scope of disclosure.

But let the two continue to appreciate the flowers, if they find that they are hiding here, although they are not able to tell the difference, it is not easy to explain.

When Yàn Li was about to show up on his own initiative, the two people who had been walking deep into the flowers suddenly stopped and there was no movement.

Just when Yàn Li felt a little strange, why the two of them suddenly stopped and stopped talking when they walked to the middle of the flowers.

The rustling sound of his clothes rubbing.

Accompanied by the slight gasp, a kiss sounded in his ears that made others rush up their blood when they heard it.

Yàn Li, who had been squatting in the corner of the garden, suddenly, his head burst out!

His chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer!

A heart is jumping violently!

He clasped his fists tightly, half-supported his lower limbs, and through the tiny gaps in the dense flowers, his eyes were projected to the direction where the sound came.

Even though I had heard a strange noise in my ears, when my eyes saw it with my own eyes, my feet still felt weak.

My mind was as if a sudden thunder came from the Nine Heavens, and a roar was rumbling.

His head rumbling.

The whole person is even more vain and vain.

Among the flowers, his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue, wearing a wide-sleeved skirt, was now being hugged by Qi Qing, the young master on the city.

The latter's face was tightly pressed against Jiang Qingyue, and his lips kissed her rosy and fragrant lips vigorously.

And his beloved wife Jiang Qingyue, who was longing for a long time, closed her beautiful eyes slightly and struggled slightly.

A pair of jade hands that were exposed under the cuffs of frost and snow were pressed against Qi Qing's shoulders as if they were pushing.

But Qi Qing, the young master in the city, held her slender jade body strongly, and the rustling sound of her clothes rubbing against Jiang Qingyue's slender body with the tight squeeze of her body.

Her lips were even greedily demanding on her red lips.

Jiang Qingyue's face was flushed when she was hugged and kissed by him, and her straight breasts were rising and falling in a hurry.

After a moment, she suddenly pushed Qi Qing away in front of her and gasped slightly.

Don't do this, would you give me some time?
