My brother is better

He had an injury that was not healed, and after drinking and standing in front of the window for a long time in the wind, even though Chu Yuan had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and was strong, he still had a fever. After Ye Jin watched him fall asleep, he borrowed the kitchen in the inn and fanned the hearth with a cattail leaf fan to brew medicine.

Shen Qianfeng lifted the curtain and came in, squatting next to him.

“Why are you here? It’s cold.” Ye Jin said, “Go inside, I will be there in a while.”

“You have always been the one who is afraid of the cold.” Shen Qianfeng shook off the cloak from his arms and wrapped it around him. “You haven’t said yet why did the emperor suddenly come to the southwest?”

“It’s all because of Duan Baiyue.” Ye Jin dragged a small bench and sat down. “But it seems to be all right now. It should be because of border disputes. More more thing. He met a group of assassins when he came here. They are from Nanyang.”

“Nanyang?” Shen Qianfeng asked: “Do you want me to send someone to investigate?”

“Yeah.” Ye Jin nodded, “Of course.”

“How long will the medicine take to brew?” Shen Qianfeng asked.

“At least an hour.” Ye Jin blew on the fire, then opened the lid and looked carefully.

“Teach me.” Shen Qianfeng said, “It’s cold and gloomy here. You should go back to your room and rest early. You have been traveling for the past few days and you should be exhausted by now.”

“No.” Ye Jin said, “It’s a bit troublesome. You can’t tell which ingredient should be put first and which one should be put last.”

Shen Qianfeng couldn’t laugh or cry: “Do you find me that stupid?”

“Who made the porridge into crispy rice last time?” Ye Jin asked casually.

Leader Shen paused and said, “Me.”

Ye Jin chased people away: “Get out, get out.”

Shen Qianfeng picked him up and sat on the small bench by himself.

Ye Jin: “…”

“I’ll be with you.” Shen Qianfeng hugged him tightly, “It’s not cold like this.”

Ye Jin pouted, leaned his head on his chest, and continued to poke the fire with a small stick.

Chu Yuan was lying on the bed, sleeping very deeply. After many days of insomnia and trance, finally after a dose of decoction, he was able to forget his worries for a moment. His dream was deep, without a trace of any disturbance.

On the official road outside the city, Duan Baiyue looked back at the city gate for the last time, then turned around, whipped his horse, and headed southwest.

In the Southwest Prince’s Mansion, Duan Yao was warming up with Nan Moxie. Hearing that the guards told him that the Prince had brought someone back, they were extremely surprised – they thought he would at least go all the way to the royal City, how could he came back sooner.

“Wait first!” Nan Moxie held Duan Yao back, “Do you still remember what Master told you earlier?”

“Of course, no matter what brother says, just agree.” Duan Yao nodded vigorously. After all, he is separated from his sweetheart, and he must have been heartbroken and devastated. At this moment, his family must care and encourage him unconditionally. Even if his brother loses his temper and wants to beat himself up, there should be no problem!

Nan Moxie patted him on the head approvingly: “Good apprentice, after this period is over, Master will take you to visit brothels.”

Duan Yao pretended not to hear, bypassed him and went out.

It is not easy to say the same sentence from the age of eight to the present. It is estimated that if Jianghu Daily conducts a competition, Master will become a well-deserved person in this Jianghu who has the deepest obsession with brothels.

“Brother!” Duan Yao happily ran over.

“Caught a worm again?” Duan Baiyue asked, “You have a happy face.”

“Of course, I’m happy to see my brother.” Duan Yao answered fluently.

Nan Moxie also came in through the door. He even combed his hair specially to see his apprentice. Aunt Jin would definitely be very pleased if she saw him.

“Was someone there to pick up the emperor?” Nan Moxie asked as casually as possible.

Duan Baiyue nodded: “They came from Riyue Villa.”

“That’s good. I think nothing will happen this way.” Nan Moxie patted him on the shoulder, “Hurry up and go back to your room to rest.”

“No need for that yet.” Duan Baiyue said, “Ask Li Ke, Duan Rong and others to come to the study. I have something to give you, and Yao’er should come with me.”

“It’s such an urgent matter, can’t we discuss it tomorrow?” Duan Yao said, “It’s time to eat.”

Duan Baiyue said: “I’m going to Nanyang.”

“Ah?” Duan Yao was stunned, and Nan Moxie asked: “Are you still looking for Tianchensha?”

Duan Baiyue said: “I want to go to Baixiang kingdom.”

This time it was Nan Moxie’s turn to be confused. If he said he was going to Feimiam kingdom, he could still figure it out things. However, what will he do in Baixiang kingdom?

Duan Baiyue had already turned around and went to the study.

Duan Yao had no choice but to go down and invite the others, and look at his master at the same time.

Nan Moxie said: “Let’s first find out whats going on.”

Duan Yao said in his heart, what else there could be? As soon as he thought about it, he knew that it must be related to the emperor.

And the fact is indeed the case. He felt a headache hearing about the assassins of Baixiang Kingdom and the demoted fifth prince of Chu Kingdom. After coming out of the study, Duan Yao held his cheeks and squatted on the side of the road, looking at his master and sighing.

Nan Moxie said: “It’s a good thing he has something to do now.” It’s better than always looking at your sweetheart from a distance, but not daring to get even half a step closer – such a tragic scene is also written in the play. .

Duan Yao nodded: “En.”

“Go back and rest.” Nan Moxie said, “Now that he has made the decision, let’s leave as soon as possible. It is said that the Baixiang Kingdom is also a rich place. Even if it can only broaden your horizons, it is a worthwhile trip.”

Duan Yao picked up the purple toad from the ground, put it in his pocket and returned to the bedroom.

Ten days later, a southwestern army left Dali and secretly headed for Beihai City, intending to take a boat to the South China Sea. It was still cold in March, and it was even colder at the seaside. Duan Yao was wrapped in a big cloak and stood at the fence of the inn, looking at the endless sea level in trance.

Something flashed by in front of him, and he instinctively swung his sword to sweep it away, but it turned out to be a big red date.

Jing Liutian smiled on the street and said, “The young prince has such quick sword skills.”

“Master Jinglou?” Duan Yao was surprised and jumped down directly on the fence, “Why are you here?”

“To be honest, I came here specially to meet Prince Duan.”, said Jing Liutian.

“My lord knows about my brother?” Duan Yao asked.

Jing Liutian said: “Prince Duan went in seclusion for three years to practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra. Many people in the world know about it.”

Duan Yao said: “What else do you know?”

Jing Liutian’s eyes were full of doubts: “What else?”

Duan Yao said: “My lord, wait for me here for a moment.”

Jing Liutian nodded: “OK.”

“Excuse me.” Duan Yao turned around and went back to the inn, went up to the second floor and knocked on the door, “Brother.”

“Come in.” Duan Baiyue put down the letter in his hand.

“Brother.” Duan Yao opened the door and came in, “Master of Feiluan tower is waiting downstairs and said he wanted to see you.”

“Jing Liutian?” Duan Baiyue laughed, “He really lives up to the name of Feiluan Tower, and he actually knows my whereabouts.”

“Do you want to meet him?” Duan Yao said, “He only knows that you have practiced the Bodhi Heart Sutra, and he doesn’t know anything else.”

“Let’s meet him.” Duan Baiyue said, “It can be regarded as a visit from an old friend. I can’t just lose sight of people for the rest of my life just because of this mask.”

Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief: “Then I’ll ask him to come up.”

Duan Baiyue nodded, casually took the glove on one side and covered the marks.

“Prince Duan.” Jing Liutian entered the room and saw Duan Baiyue wearing a mask. Naturally, he was slightly surprised for an instant, but he quickly returned to his normal self, cupped his fists and said, “Sorry for disturbing you.”

“Having not seeing you for three years, Feiluan Tower has become even more powerful.” Duan Baiyue said with a smile, “This trip of Southwest Mansion was kept secret, and it was actually discovered by the owner of Feiluan Tower. I have to admire it.”

“I am really helpless to have come here.” Jing Liutian said, “I have a favour to ask from the prince.”

Duan Baiyue asked: “What’s the matter?”

Jing Liutian: “I wonder if my lord still remembers that three years ago, when I was investigating the Chaoya incident, I said that my younger brother also went to Chaoya. When he came back, he said that Chaoya was full of gold, which was why I was so convinced of this matter.”

Duan Baiyue said: “Naturally.” After all, Feiluan Tower has always been the only one who finds out the secrets of other families, and it’s rare for their family to make a fool of themselves.

Jing Liutian: “After the truth of this matter came to light, I ordered my disciples to capture him and bring him back to Feiluan Tower, but to no avail. There was no trace of him afterwards, as if he disappeared out of thin air.”

Duan Baiyue smiled: “To be able to escape from the net of Feiluan Tower, this young master is quite capable.”

“Your Majesty, please don’t make fun of me anymore.” Jing Liutian said, “It wasn’t until a few months ago that someone finally heard the news that he had gone to Nanyang. I originally wanted to take people out to sea in person, but there were still some things in Feiluan Tower that I really can’t get away from. I just heard that the prince is going to Nanyang, so I dared to come here and ask the prince. Please forgive my rudeness.”

“Master Jing wants me to help find someone?” Duan Baiyue said, “It can be easily taken care of.”

The promise was too straightforward, so Jing Liutian said wittily: “Whatever your conditions are, my lord, I’ll agree to them all.”

Duan Baiyue said: “I just want to know exchange a person’s current situation.”

Jing Liutian said: “Who?”

Duan Baiyue touched his chin and said, “Nie Yuqing.”

“Miss Nie.” Jing Liutian said, “She is married to the Northeast five years ago, and now she has disappeared into some remote place, and her life should be extremely good.”

Duan Baiyue said: “Thank you.”

“My lord just wanted to ask this?” Jing Liutian was surprised. Nie Yuqing was originally a chivalrous woman with a righteous personality and beautiful eyebrows. So many people admire her very much. Later, she rescued a rich man from the hands of bandits, and the two gradually fell in love with each other. Her husband’s family has a big ginseng business in the Northeast, and has nothing to do with martial arts. Nie Yuqing also put down the her sword, is living a peaceful life with her husband and children. Her whereabouts are not a mystery, you can find out by just asking anyone, so why is this person especially asking the master of Feiluan Tower.

Duan Baiyue said: “Of course, I’m not interested in Miss Nie. But I’m afraid I will meet an old friend when I go to Nanyang. If he asks, I can’t be ignorant. It just so happens that Master Jing is here, so naturally I have to ask.”

Jing Liutian said: “So that’s how it is.”

“Since I have agreed to Master Jing, I will naturally keep my promise.” Duan Baiyue said, “The Southwest Mansion has always followed its word.”

“Thank you, my lord.” Jing Liutian said, “It’s just that if you only wanted to exhange this with the information about Miss Nie’s recent situation, it would be really I am taking advantage of you. I owe this favour. If my lord wants to know anything in the future, just ask Feiluan Tower. Even if Feiluan Tower wouldn’t be doing their business, we will definitely solve the troubles of the prince first.”

Duan Baiyue reached out to give him a high-five, and said with a smile: “Lord Jing is really a pleasing person.”

“Then it’s time to work.” Jing Liutian said, “My younger brother is stubborn by nature. If he speaks rudely with you and there is a conflict, the prince can just beat and scold him, but please save his life.”

Duan Yao leaned against the door holding his Cloud Splitting sword, twitching the corners of his mouth.

This is what it means when you say you would know when you compare.

My brother is better!
