After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

"I really want to go to Loulan."

"Then I will accompany you to Loulan."

“You’ll die…!”

"Before I die, I want to see how powerful the Loulan Kingdom is. This way, I can die without regrets. And you... you are in your prime."

The middle-aged man who was following closely behind Zhong Bo grinned and said:

"Didn't Li Chenan say that death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai?"

"It is a great honor to be able to die with you!"

Zhong Bo stroked his long beard and shook his head:
"I am just an old man in my twilight years. I am no longer the Xi Wei of the past. If you follow me to die... I am afraid you will be lighter than a feather."

He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and said:

"Yan Jidao...you should continue to retreat in Jieshi."

This middle-aged man turned out to be the grandmaster Yan Jidao!

Yan Jidao smiled bitterly at this time:
“Retreat…?”

"The scenery of Jieshi is beautiful, and the sea... is also quite magnificent."

"I also secluded myself for half a year, but I was unable to reach the end of the Grandmaster's path."

"Even in that half year, we didn't make any progress. Perhaps this is because haste makes waste."

"Later I thought, when it comes to martial arts, it's best to just follow your heart. Trying to be deliberate is not good. Instead of working behind closed doors, it's better to go out and walk."

“Just walking aimlessly.”

"As I walked, I ended up at Youdu County in Beimo Road. You can't imagine who I met in Youdu County."

Zhong Bo hesitated for three breaths and asked, "That peach blossom?"

"No, it's Hua Manting Hua Lao!"

Zhong Bo was startled: "What is this old guy doing in Youdu County?"

"He said he was just out for a walk. By the way, he was staying at the home of the county magistrate of Youdu County... his name was Zhuge Buliang."

Zhong Bo heard this and asked:
"Where is he doing?"

Yan Jidao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You will never guess that he is helping Zhuge Buliang's wife to get medicine."

Seeing Zhong Bo's puzzled look, Yan Jidao added:
"Zhuge Buliang's wife is a doctor, and her medical skills... are said to be... extremely high!"

Zhong Bo did not ask any more questions.

He was just thinking.

He seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled, and then heard Yan Ji say:

"He said that I was in the way if I stayed there, and if I had nothing else to do, I could come to the Great Wasteland City in the Wasteland Country to see you, so I came."

"I thought I could see you in all your glory, but I didn't expect you to leave again."

Zhong Bo laughed:

"Scenery?"

“It was once glorious.”

“In fact, when you look back after the glory days, it’s just like that.”

"Just based on this point, I am not as good as Old Man Hua."

"Old Man Hua wouldn't just be walking around casually. He went to Youdu County and stayed at Zhuge Buliang's house. So there must be something going on."

"As for wisdom, I am not as good as him."

"It's just that he has never liked to compete in his life. I never expected that he would be persuaded by Princess Yun'an when he was old, and finally did something great."

The big thing was to build momentum for Li Chenan and secretly support Li Chenan to become the emperor of Ningguo.

"When I was still in Yujing City, I often went to his courtyard. If he had agreed to join hands with me at that time... there would be no Emperor Zhaohua ascending the throne!"

"Looking back now, he was actually more aware of current affairs and the situation at the time than I was."

"He just stayed in that small courtyard for decades, with no rain or shine, and he just lived peacefully like that."

"I also ate some tender grass... Xiao Mantou is a good girl."

"Unlike me, I have been tossing and turning all my life, and in the end... I don't even dare to go back to Ningguo."

Yan Jidao looked at Zhong Bo's back, pondered for a moment and said:

"The name Xi Wei has been dead for many years, the Zhaohua year has passed, and now is the first year of Zhen'an. Except for a few old people in Ningguo, no one still knows you."

"Those old men have no ill will towards you. I think you should go back to Ningguo instead of going to Loulan."

"What's so good about Loulan?"

"It would be better to return to Ningguo to retire."

"Wei Xuanmo is in Yujing City, Mei Fangxi is also in Yujing City, and Hua Lao will go back sooner or later... Changsun Jinghong is probably left with only a pile of bones, and the same is true for Shang Di and the Shang family," "But Peach Blossom Island is still there, and the peach blossoms on the island are still beautiful every spring."

"You still have some old friends in Kyoto, so you won't feel lonely when you go back."

Zhongbo walked on the snow with his head down.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient to go back."

"What's the inconvenience?"

Zhong Bo did not explain, and Yan Jidao did not even look at the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, after the battle between Monk Jiudeng and Wu Xichen, he hid the token of the Hidden Door in Wu Xichen's urn. I asked you to get it. Did you get it?"

Yan Jidao took out a jade token from his bosom and handed it to Zhong Bo. Zhong Bo did not take it, and did not even glance at it:
"Now you can hand it over to Li Chenan."

He was talking about now.

Two years ago, during the Kyoto Rebellion, in Huaishan County outside Yujing City, Yan Jidao handed half of Wu Xichen's urn to Li Chenan.

The other half of Wu Xichen's urn was taken to Xijian Tower by Monk Bunian and buried on Jianshan Mountain.

After the Kyoto Rebellion ended, Li Chenan buried the urn in his hand on Taohua Mountain in Guangling City.

Li Chenan knew that there was a token of a hidden door hidden in the urn. It was Wang Zhenghaoxuan who told him when he returned from Yue State in late autumn last year.

But Li Chenan didn't take it to heart at all——

If a token can revolutionize the world, then what’s the point of technology!

Even Li Chenan didn't ask Monk Bunian.

However, he did not expect that the token was actually on Yan Jidao's body.

At that time, Zhong Bo did not ask Yan Jidao to give the token to Li Chenan. It must be because Li Chenan did not have enough power to possess this token at that time.

It is a crime to have a jade.

But now Li Chenan has become the emperor of Ningguo, and it is time to give it to him.

Yan Jidao put the token back into his arms and suddenly asked:
"Who exactly is Li Chenan to you?"

Xi Wei paused and looked up at the sunset in the sky.

After a moment, he walked away again, "Just think of him as my old friend regardless of age difference."

"But you have never met."

"...Spiritual intercourse is also possible."

Yan Jidao looked at Xi Wei's back again and felt that this explanation was a bit forced.

"I want to go to Loulan with you. This brand..."

"Wang Zheng Jin Zhong is in the Desolate Country. If you really want to go to Loulan, let him take this sign to Chen An."

"This sign does not command the hidden door. It is actually a key."

Before Zhong Bo finished speaking, Yan Jidao suddenly said:

"Look, you said that the emperor of the Desolate Country would not attack you...!"

Zhong Bo turned around.

Yan Jidao didn't turn around.

He held out a hand.

His hand just grabbed in the air...

There seemed to be a ripple in the air.

An arrow that was almost invisible suddenly appeared in the ripples.

Its arrows emitted a cold light.

Yan Jidao's hand grabbed it accurately.

It seemed to be struggling to break free, revealing an unwilling and ferocious look.

Yan Jidao squeezed it gently, and its light disappeared.

As if with a cry of grief, it collapsed in Yan Jidao's hands.

On the wall of Dry Stone Castle.

Bai Jian suddenly took two steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yan Jidao looked at Zhong Bo and asked:
"Kill him?"

This him is certainly not an archer.

But...Yuwen Feng! (End of this chapter)
