Chapter 855: When the Pear Blossoms Bloom

After a lapse of 11 years, Mu Dianke returned to the Jin family's cemetery for the first time to worship.

Together with Mu Ziyan.

It was also the first time I saw Ah Ku's tomb, built of stone, adjacent to the ancestral land of the Jin family, on a high slope facing the sun.

Because she said at that time that she was worried that Ah Ku would be bitten by insects in the cold underground, so Jin Yanchen agreed to take out Ah Ku's bones and bury him in a place where the sun would shine.

Although the time was not ripe.

She specially brought buns.

The owner of Zhen Rong Steamed Bun Shop in Luoyang has passed away.She traveled all over Chang'an, tasted it door by door, and picked the one with the closest taste based on her memory, and bought a whole basket of steamed buns with various fillings.

And wine.

"...I don't know what kind of wine you like to drink. This is Xu Younan's favorite Xifeng wine. He often talked about it when he was in the desert." Mu Dianke sprinkled the strong wine in front of Ah Ku's grave, and said slowly, "Are you and him? Good friends, they should drink together often, they should have the same taste - he must also want to come, but unfortunately he can't, I brought you wine for him..."

At the end she choked up, "Aku, I will replace you and live a good life."

***
The jade bowl is filled with amber light.

Xu Younan Zhiyi leaned lazily in front of the long table, and in front of him was a sapphire bowl with sweet Xifeng wine; and a plate of peanuts, boiled in salt water.

He used to love both.

Throwing peanuts into his mouth like this, while eating wine, while reading the newspaper.Just looking at this leisurely posture, those who didn't know it thought he was reading poetry and books.

"Ouch—" He suddenly sighed, sat up, and touched the mountains of letters under his feet.

"It's released." He said to himself.

***
Fire in July.

Although the mountain is shady and cool, there are no trees to cover it, the sun is astonishingly hot, splashing down like white rotten silver, burning the skin with heat and pain.

Jin Yanchen was dressed in black clothes, with long arms and wingspan, standing upright and shooting arrows in front of the cliff.

The iron bow was fully drawn, and the hard boxwood arrow made of stainless steel left the string with a "swish", passing through the wild mountain wind of the Baizhang Canyon, and still steadily pulled out a straight line, hitting the opposite cliff with a precision of the size of a fist. white mountain stones.

boom--

The loud noise was covered by the roaring mountain wind, and a big hole was blasted out from the back of the white rock.The solid rock exploded and scattered into countless debris and dust, which was blown away by the strong wind in an instant.

"Young master is good at archery!"

The businessman was wearing a dark red robe, with a nose like an eagle's hook, and a shrewd look on his face. He took another arrow from the open arrow box, bent down and handed it over, "My lord, try this one again."

Different from the strength of the previous arrow, this is a soft arrow, lighter and faster.

Jin Yanchen changed to a soft-tipped bow, aimed at the target a hundred steps away with three layers of glued cowhide, did not use all his strength, and shot with the physical strength that ordinary soldiers can have.

The arrow hits the red heart, and the arrowheads are all gone.

Ghost Xiang tore off the cowhide with the arrow from the target, brought it back to Jin Yanchen, and unfolded it in the sunlight to see three barbs on the back.

Jin Yanchen grabbed the cowhide with one hand and the arrow shaft with the other, and pulled it hard, but the arrow didn't come off.

Judging from the tenacity of the barbs on the arrows, I am afraid that the cowhide must be broken to make them come out.

Such an arrow is like hitting a flesh and blood body, and the consequences can be imagined to be tragic.

"My lord, please look at this arrowhead. The core of this arrowhead is iron, and its surface is thinly plated with gray lead. The barbs hang on the meat, and you dare not pull out the arrow. After a long time, this is a deadly poison."

While speaking, Jin Yanchen had already shot the third arrow in the quiver.

The arrow pierces the clouds, and the sound is like dysprosium.

Judging by his expression, he is satisfied.

The businessman said with a smile, "The first is a heavy arrow. It can be shot from a long distance. It can be aimed well. The second one is a light arrow. It rebounds quickly. It is most suitable for cavalry to shoot continuously. It is weaker, but the arrow is sharp and can pierce the hardest arrows." The last one, according to what you said, the wind blows, and the piercing power and accuracy are not bad—I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"

"Mr. Kong is worthy of being praised by the Taoists as a 'magic soldier'." Jin Yanchen said with a smile: "Such a batch of arrows is expensive, right?"

"Young Master is a friend of Master Ma and Brother Bao. We often do business on the ground in Qingzhou, and we are old friends. The price and materials are the best."

The businessman handed over a thin booklet, "This is the account that is prepared in batches according to the quantity and type that the young master wants. Please have a look at it, young master."

"I don't understand." Jin Yanchen smiled, opened his bow and drew an arrow. The shaft of the arrow dragged a long-haired eagle and fell quickly, hanging on the cliff. Give me the number."

"Shall I discuss it with Mr. Xu again?" Wang Changlin said with a smile.

It was said that he discussed with Xu Younan, but in fact he asked Xu Younan to have a hard time with this businessman surnamed Kong.

He is good at business matters, but when it comes to bargaining, no one can match Xu Younan.

The key is that Xu Younan can make people suffer from the price and still enjoy it, Xinxin regards him as a confidant.This cannot but be said to be a skill.

This businessman surnamed Kong is a shrewd man, he values ​​profit over righteousness, and he must be someone like Xu Younan if he wants to suppress his profit without being a sinner.

Jin Yanchen smiled, revealing a mouthful of bright and neat white teeth, "It's up to you to decide."

Wang Changlin understood.

Jin Yanchen is now engaged in the salt and iron business in several places, the officials and bandits are prosperous, and the daily income is like running water, but he is unwilling to narrow the road for small profits.

It also expressed a trust to him.

Everyone who works under Jin Yanchen knows that Xu Younan is his confidant.Xu Younan is indeed loyal and capable, so no one can argue with him.

But what Jin Yanchen said made people feel at ease.

"Understood." Wang Changlin raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Kong, shall we sit and talk here?"

The businessman bid farewell to Jin Yanchen, and they turned around, only to see Xu Younan, with his sleeves fluttering, coming uninvited.

In a blink of an eye, I came to the front.

"It's settled?" Elder Mei smiled elegantly, "Looks like I'm late."

Yin said to Wang Changlin: "Mr. Kong is a distinguished guest, and Changlin is good at entertaining him."

Wang Changlin responded with a smile, and went with the businessman surnamed Kong.

Jin Yanchen walked down the cliff, and Xu Younan also followed. The mighty wind on the edge of the cliff beat the clothes of the two of them, fluttering like banners.

"Su Wei is dead." Xu Younan said.

"Oh?" Jin Yanchen was a little surprised, "Who did it?"

Now that Mu Cangping has returned, Luoyang is a dangerous place, and he has never issued such an order.

"Little Si'er has left Chang's Fort." Xu Younan said, "She asked Su Wei to fight at Jinfeng Terrace and behead him."

Jin Yanchen's back stiffened, he put his hands behind his back, and unconsciously walked a little faster.

"Why do you have to behead?"

Towards Su Wei, he didn't have as strong hatred as he did to Liu Sutian, Tan Zhou and others. After all, Su Wei just wanted to use his head to submit a certificate to Mu Cangping, and he never harmed a single member of the Jin family.

As usual, Mu Dian shouldn't hate Su Wei so much. She is waiting to be married, and acting like this is not good for herself.

"Su Wei took the initiative to feed the sword, she probably thought it was strange."

Xu Younan laughed disapprovingly, "How could a traitor who wanted to climb to a higher place suddenly feel guilty when he saw a dilapidated platform, and wanted to die? Knowing that he couldn't survive, he always thought of some sideways methods."

Unfortunately, the wrong object was used.

Mu Dian used to be a killer, and he also survived several times. He is most familiar with these methods of feigning death and imitating life, and he will never give him the opportunity to "put to death and live later".

Neither of them spoke at this time.

One doesn't want to talk, one knows the other doesn't want to listen.

Everything about Mu Dianke today, to Jin Yanchen, is a sharp knife that can stir up old scars.

He kept her in the bottom of his heart. For more than a year, he rarely thought of her, and dreamed of her only a few times.But when people talk about it, it still hurts, reminding her that she has always been there.

Come out... just want to get married?
"Ling Fu went to ask for an appointment, and it was set on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month this year."

Xu Younan finally spoke, looked at the lush trees under his feet, and sighed softly, "At that time, it should snow—thousands of trees and pear blossoms."

Jin Yanchen coughed, didn't stop, coughed a few more times, and raised his hand to hold his chest.

Xu Younan continued talking, with a rare smile on his face, looking gloomy,
"It's good. We are destined not to live the way we yearn for. Fortunately, she is here to replace us in the sun and live well... It is also a relief."

The mountain wind was cold, Jin Yanchen covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

He was still thinking about the ten-mile pear tree outside Chang'an City.

——"Leave Luoyang, pass through Qionghua Forest, and enter Chang'an. In February and March, the pear trees are piled up with snow, reflecting the red makeup, and the ten-mile wedding ceremony..."

"I haven't coughed for a while, why did I do it again?" Xu Younan frowned and asked worriedly.

He is used to killing people, but this time it was really unintentional.

He only knew that Mu Dian had lovely pear blossoms, which were planted all over Julin Garden, and Jin's family also planted them.But he didn't know about the agreement.

"Asimu is an old man, the older he gets, the more useless he is." He said dismissively, "I'd better find another doctor to have a look at him later, and I can't keep procrastinating."

Jin Yanchen had a dull face and didn't respond to his words.

He took off his hand on his chest and continued walking along the rocky mountain road.

Pull aside the dense vines, and in front of you is a long, narrow and dark road with no fingers. There is a door on the way.

Pushing away, it suddenly became clear.

In the rugged and precipitous mountains, several pings of terraced flat land with a length of two miles and a width of two miles are hidden inconceivably, which is an excellent place for martial arts training.

Looking from a high place, flags are waving at the foot of the mountain, and countless black soldiers are fighting bravely in the gray-brown dust.

【Aku】Volume 141, chapter 145, returning to hometown several times in a dream; chapter 176, who can explain this hatred; chapter [-], lighting up the city overnight.
