Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1031 The Road
As dusk fell, the Shi'an Courtyard was extraordinarily lively.

On the street outside the courtyard, in the gambling houses and restaurants on the street, the people in Ruyang City are all discussing the military battle that will be held the day after tomorrow. In the battle report sent back, the practitioners gathered in twos and threes, some were frowning, some drank heavily, and some held the book of war and hugged each other temporarily.

The entire city of Ruyang was filled with an anxious atmosphere, and in this anxious atmosphere, Qian Bofang, the deputy chief examiner of the Soochow Intermediate Ceremony, was sitting in the front hall of the Zhongtang Shi'an Academy.

There is a large bowl in front of him.

The sea bowl is full of various vegetables, meat slices and meatballs, poured with sesame sauce, and the aroma is tangy.

"Instead of hot pot, this is more like Malatang..."

Qian Bofang twitched his fingers, and once again felt sorry for not being able to bring Ying Baoyue back to Shanhaiju as a cook.

From the yard behind him came the sound of young people moving and shouting, and Qian Bofang sipped the wine with such a voice, tasting the delicious food in the big bowl.

Just when he was halfway through eating, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Qian Bofang didn't look back, just put down his chopsticks, and said without a trace of surprise, "You're here."

The middle-aged man raised his head and stared at the young man walking in front of him, "Qingyuan."

Ji Qingyuan, who came alone, walked up to him and sat down, watching him with a complicated expression, "Long time no see, Uncle Duo."

"It's been a long time," Qian Bofang picked up his chopsticks again, "I haven't seen you for ten years."

"That's right," Ji Qingyuan nodded, "You can recognize me thanks to you."

Of course, the reason is very easy to understand.

It must be because his face resembles that person.

"When I saw you for the first time just now, I thought Ji Mo was rejuvenated." Qian Bofang shrugged, "Fortunately, the age is not right, otherwise I might attack you."

Yinchanwei's hostility towards the Southern Chu State Division is still the same as before.

Ji Qingyuan smiled wryly.

Thinking back to when he followed his sister to the Great Wall of Eternal Night, because it was Jim Mo's son who was thrown around like a ball by those big soldiers, if Li Meiniang and Qian Bofang hadn't rescued him in time, he would probably have been tossed Lost half life.

One Qian Bofang and one Li Meiniang, Ji Qingyuan knew that these two were the right-hand men of Princess Zhaoyang back then.

Ji Qingyuan stared at Qian Bofang in the twilight, "Uncle Duo, how did my mother die?"

Qian Bofang's chopsticks stopped, and he looked up at the grown boy, "Are you sure you want to ask me this?"

"She didn't ask just now."

Ji Qingyuan naturally knew who she was referring to, and couldn't hide his surprise, "Didn't she ask?"

Yinchanwei has been staying at the Great Wall of Eternal Night in the north, and his mother Lin Shubai has been rumored to have died on the Great Wall of Eternal Night. He originally thought that if Ying Baoyue met Yinchanwei, he would immediately confirm that his mother happened.

"Not only did she not ask about this matter," Qian Bofang said quietly, "she also didn't ask about the whereabouts of other people."

Didn't even ask about Li Meiniang.

Qian Bofang knew very well how deep the relationship between Princess Zhaoyang and General Plum Blossom was, but Ying Baoyue didn't ask him about Li Meiniang's current situation and whereabouts before.

"Why..." Ji Qingyuan asked in a daze.

"About why Master Guoshi died that year, she should know that I don't." Qian Bofang said.

Back then, Lin Shubai, the master of the Great Qin Dynasty, died on the Great Wall of Eternal Night together with the second emperor Ying Hao. The sky of Great Qin collapsed all of a sudden. Trying to understand is also likely to kill you.

"Seven years ago, when Master Guoshi and the Second Emperor went to the Great Wall of Eternal Night for a military parade, the Silver Cicada Guard had already been squeezed out of the core position of the Great Wall garrison."

Chief Commander Lin Shubai even transferred her personal bodyguards, the Black Tiger Army, away from the Great Wall.

At that time, Qian Bofang, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, felt incomprehensible when he heard the news. It was not until the news of the earth-shattering that he felt that everything was terribly frightening.

Da Si Ming may have had a premonition about his own death.

"It can be said that none of us were near the Great Wall at the time," he said slowly, "no one knew what happened that day."

At the same time as Chief Commander Lin Shubai and Second Emperor Ying Hao died at the Great Wall, there were at least [-] Imperial Guardsmen.

The Great Wall of Eternal Night turned into a hell on earth that day.

But these are all intelligences that can be investigated afterwards, and no one knows the details of the specific incident.

No one was spared, all of them died.

No one alive knows what happened that day.

Qian Bofang had a hunch that even those who knew the details might have been silenced.

"The people who knew the truth about this matter are all dead. If they are alive, they are probably not the murderer." Qian Bofang fixed his gaze on Ji Qingyuan, "It is an accomplice."

Ji Qingyuan's pupils shrank slightly, he closed his eyes, and asked softly, "Uncle Do, do you think my father knows?"

Qian Bofang's eyes also changed slightly, and he smiled wryly, "You really dare to ask."

This courage must have followed his mother.

"Qingyuan," Qian Bofang stared at the young man who looked exactly like the man in front of him, "What are you doubting?"

Ji Qingyuan's heart trembled, he had always had a guess in his mind, a guess that even Ying Baoyue dared not tell.

"Her Royal Highness must have asked your father about your mother's death," Qian Bofang looked at him and said, "She probably got a certain answer from Ji Mo."

"Your father should have grasped a certain amount of the truth, but I don't think he knows all of it," said Qian Bofang. "The other part of the truth should be in the hands of another fiancé of Master Guoshi."

That's why Ying Baoyue was so eager to get the leader of the middle-level ceremony, to get what the Liao Guoshi promised, to meet the mountain ghost, and get a complete answer from him.

Ji Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes wide.

"She planned everything from the very beginning," Qian Bofang said while staring at him. After he met Ying Baoyue, he understood everything she had done from the beginning to the present. Soochow, she is accumulating strength step by step, and she is approaching the final answer."

Of course, she is also stepping into danger step by step.

Such as Beihan Pavilion, such as Xirong people.

Qian Bofang's eyes darkened. He went all the way south, but he didn't notice where the Xirong people went deep into the Central Plains.

Not to mention that Xu Canghai would follow his daughter to Soochow in person.

What exactly did the Northern Wei State Teacher and the Xirong people want to do?
If there is a bottom line in Beihan Pavilion, the Xirong people are like the time bomb she introduced to him before, and it will explode at some point.

But Qian Bofang is not ready to tell Ji Qingyuan about these worries for the time being, this will only add to the worries of young people.

"For her, the most important thing now is the middle-level ceremony," Ji Qingyuan understood after hearing Qian Bofang's previous words, "She has already reached half of this road."

"That's right, so Qingyuan, you don't have to worry too much, just follow her," Qian Bofang said, "I remember that you are not very good at the art of war? How about helping her?"

"I'm just talking on paper," Ji Qingyuan smiled wryly, "I can't compare to you, let alone her."

"As for the battle in the day after tomorrow, she also thought of a way to deal with it."

"What method?" Qian Bofang asked curiously when he heard the sound of ping-pong-pong in the backyard.

Ji Qingyuan glanced at him with a complicated expression, "She said, she needs special training."
