"Marquis Dingguo retired?"

"Marquis Dingguo has retired!"

After the court meeting, the news spread inside and outside the capital, arousing many thoughts, gathered into a mighty momentum, rolling in the sky, even the dragon aura was affected, shifted and distorted.

It can also be seen from this that the impact of Qiu Yan's retreat is huge. I don't know how many people can't sleep at night, and I don't know how many people are filled with righteous indignation, but there are also people who are elated and overjoyed.

These kinds of emotions naturally cannot escape the control of the inner demon. Qiu Yan's inner demon body, as the highest-level inner demon on this earth, can be said to be contained in the heart, clear before and after.

But all these changes in his thoughts did not affect Qiu Yan at all. After the court meeting that day, he took off his official uniform and handed over his official seal, and returned to his family mansion, where he had fun with his family and relatives, taught his children and nephews to read, and accompanied him. In front of my uncle's bed.

Qiu Yan's uncle, Liu Huai, is very old and his lifespan is nearing the end of his life. Now he is lying on the bed with a haggard face, but this is not a sick appearance, but a sign of his lifespan being exhausted.

This morning, after Qiu Yan got up, he played a set of fitness boxing in the courtyard, and then came to Liu Huai's room to say hello.

Before pushing open the door, he paused for a moment, glanced at the door, and realized something, then sighed, called the servant girl, and asked him to recruit Liu Yue and others, and then pushed the door and entered.

On the bed in the room, Liu Huai stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at it, and at some point, he woke up, at this moment, he heard a "squeak", followed the sound, and saw Qiu Yan's appearance, Immediately, he smiled, and a blush appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Yan'er, you are here, I can see you every day, and the old man feels more and more energetic."

Originally, Qiu Yan was in the court and dealt with the affairs of the court every day. There were endless files and memorials, and there were many incidents.Human affairs, military affairs, and supernatural affairs, all have to be interrogated, but they have to be carried out in a humane way. They are exhausted and often stay out of the house at night. Even when they return, they are in a hurry and have little free time. Then Liu Huai knew from the drama that national affairs are important.Even though he misses his nephew, he won't come to visit him often, and he often teaches the servants at home not to discredit Qiu Yan's name——

Before Qiu Yan became chancellor, Liu Huai and Liu Yue's family bought a yard in the outer city and moved out. After all, they lived in Qiu Yan's house all the time, so it would inevitably be inconvenient. Besides, there were female relatives in Qiu's residence, so they had to avoid gossip.

but.As Liu Huai grew older and his lifespan became scarcer, Qiu Yan sent someone to invite him back to his mansion to take care of him for the rest of his life.But it is not common, but now that I have resigned from the position in the court, I don't have to worry about it anymore, and I can see it all the time in these two days.

That Liu Huai is in good spirits today.Seeing Qiu Yan come in, he got up and talked to the nephew about the family.Soon a servant girl from the mansion brought breakfast, and Liu Yue and others came to visit with him.

Seeing the bustling scene in front of him, Liu Huai felt very relieved and grinned with satisfaction.

After dinner, he said to Qiu Yan again: "Help me go for a walk in the courtyard." Qiu Yan agreed and helped Liu Huai, Liu Yue and others followed behind, but it didn't matter.

The courtyard looked green and there were wooden and bamboo seats. Qiu Yan helped Liu Huai to sit on it. The old man laughed and said, "Back then in the borderlands, my sister married your father. Thinking of giving birth to a Wenqu star to shine on the world, I really didn't expect it..."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyelids drooped, his breath became more even, but weak, as if he was sleepy and about to fall asleep.

"In our life, we are ordinary and nameless, but we have a nephew like you. It's worth it. There are no regrets, no regrets..." The voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it could not be heard.

Qiu Yan nodded at the side, and finally raised his hand, caressing the eyelids on Liu Huai's face, closing those eyes completely, and then stood up, a nearly non-existent shackle on his body was shattered like powder, dissipating in the wind In the middle, there will be no ripples, no changes.

Liu Yue and the others had already sensed it, and surrounded them when they saw it, and after a few breaths, there was a cry.

On the second day, the Qiu Mansion was white.

Seven days later, everything was calm, and all the officials came to visit Qiu's mansion once. During this time, the turmoil in the capital gradually calmed down. The impact of Qiu Yan's departure will not be easily eliminated, but in the capital Many people are already used to it.

However, Liu Shi's self-defeating behavior made many people laugh at him this time. As for the emperor, he was a little at a loss.

"It seems to be a peaceful life, but how many people know that it is now a catastrophe!"

In the Taixu Academy outside the city, Mr. Taixu sighed while looking at a picture his grandson Qi Jiulian had brought.

More than ten years have passed, and Mr. Taixu, who was not young at that time, is now an old man. He looks like an ordinary old man in the family, but his eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

That Qi Jiulian was known as the young scholar back then, but now he has entered middle age, his demeanor is quite different from before, but the edge is still faintly visible in his brows and eyes. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Grandpa, you have also heard about Dingguo Hou leaving the court, right?" Qi Jiulian smiled, picked up the teapot in front of him, poured a glass of water, and respectfully offered it to Mr. Taixu, saying non-stop, "This matter It spread throughout the capital, and many people worried that after the power vacuum, chaos would inevitably erupt. Few people knew that Ding Guohou was not only the helm at the ordinary level, but also the Dinghai Shenzhen at the extraordinary level. With his departure, Donghua was promoted Among them, I don't know how many more disturbances will occur, and this person of great auspiciousness will have to bear it himself."

"Judging from the tone of your words, it seems that you don't regret it." Mr. Tai Xu looked up, a little puzzled, "Could it be that this matter was also arranged by Marquis Ding?"

"Whether it was arranged or not is not important anymore. Just like what Ding Guohou said when he left, everything that should be done has been done, but some things should have been more extensive. After Donghua's promotion, the world will benefit from it." Common people, since this is the case, they should also pay and bear, otherwise they will enjoy it for nothing, and they will not be able to reap it. , can be by your old man’s side, practice calligraphy, listen to music, and make a fuss, how happy it is, it’s better than being in his staff, thinking about this and that all day long, it’s not free.”

"Before I heard that you were going to be released as an official, I thought you could go to Mushou Fang to broaden your horizons." Mr. Tai Xu shook his head.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and that's something I'm not good at," Qi Jiulian said, stretching his waist without any image, "Let's leave it to those who are obsessed with power. Liu Shi and his gang have long been eyeing those few Is the position, now I got what I wanted, but I don’t know if they have the ability to grab it, and whether they have the ability to hold it.”

"They are digging their own graves. The world will change and the world will change places. They can't handle these things well. They will not only harm themselves, but also the common people." Mr. Taixu shook his head, "However, Marquis Dingguo is serious. A strange man, he ascended to the sky in one step and subdued the aristocratic family by means of thunder, but now he has all the power in the world, but he left without leaving any nostalgia, he is really a strange man, I heard that he is going to write a book, maybe this old man will have a chance to read it."

As he was talking, he showed a tired expression, but he chuckled again: "After reading the book and seeing the source of the dead, you should be able to understand the thoughts of Ma Yang and Da Chen. Talking to them will also make you feel better." They know."

Qi Jiulian was just on the side. Hearing this, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

"What? Do you have something else to do?" Mr. Taixu is very familiar with his grandson now, so he asked when he saw this. After all, his grandson is busy on weekdays, and it is not unusual for him to wait around like these few days.

"It's nothing. After this matter, I'm free," Qi Jiulian said, getting up and apologizing to his grandfather. "This matter has something to do with you, grandpa. I'm going to the north of the city this time to meet some people." people."

"Who are you welcoming? Do you still have something to do with this old man?" Mr. Taixu showed a tired face, but he became interested again.

"That person's name is Yuan Muxi, and he came here this time to study." After Qi Jiulian finished speaking, he took the opportunity to leave.

………………

"finally reached!"

On the other side, north of Xingjing, in the small town of Beiguan, Yuan Muxi and his party walked slowly in the market.

It is said to be a market, but in fact there is no official plan. It is just a few villages and towns gathered around a passing checkpoint, and it develops slowly, so that it has the atmosphere at this time.

However, it is said to be a small town, but it is located on the edge of the capital after all, and it is more magnificent than many small towns in the border, let alone a gathering place like Zhutuolan, so after the group arrived, they looked around and looked around. It was full of surprise.

"Darui is really prosperous. The cities here are not as majestic as the ones in the northwest, but they are much more lively. They sell everything you need!" The black-haired monkey still turned into an adult, but because of the fact that the land of Gyeonggi is very sensitive to magical powers, There is repulsion, although the world changes, it still has some effect, so it cannot be completely transformed, and the appearance shown is a bit thin and ugly, and the people he sees along the way are subconsciously avoiding.

"Eh? That kind of mechanism creation that can directly send messages is actually for sale!" Over there, the strong man transformed into a mad cow also looked a little weird, scaring away the people along the way, but the peddler was very knowledgeable and didn't Without fear, he talked eloquently: "Guest officer, judging by your attire, you should be from the Western Regions. The infrastructure over there is not perfect, and there are not many leyline nodes, so leyline microphones are not very common, but in our Celestial Dynasty Middle Earth , but this thing is available to everyone, it's just the price..."

"Oh? This is called an earth vein microphone..." Yuan Muxi also came over from the side, picked up the thing on the stall, looked around, then put it down and asked, "However, what does this 'infrastructure' mean? Never heard of it."

The peddler smiled and replied calmly: "This is the word that the Lord Ding said, and it gradually became popular after cooperating with Tian Zhiren." (To be continued...)
