Chapter 335 – Only Sees The Heart And Will! (1/2)

Chapter 335: Only sees the heart and will!

“Gongzi [TN Note: Young master] Xiangma, your father City Lord Bolai, is he well?”

“Very good, he's usually busy with work, I rarely sees him.” Li Muyang answered, thinking of the Jiangnan City Lord Yan Bolai that came to see him off at Maple Forest Ferry Crossing.

“Is esteemed grandfather Yan in good health? He severely injured his waist in the battle against Zhou Nation's General Yuan Taiji when he was guarding the frontier. He luckily survived but every time there was rainy weather he would experience lower back pain. He must drink Dragon bone gra.s.s steeped in a strong alcoholic drink to treat his back pain. It happens that I served as the commander-in-chief in Broken dragon abyss for many years and Dragon bone gra.s.s was only found there, so every year when I returned to Tiandu I would bring several back for esteemed grandfather Yan——” Lu Qingming stated loudly, urging the horse forward together with Li Muyang.

“Thank you Uncle Lu. My grandfather has always mentioned Uncle Lu's favour.” Li Muyang said with a smile, but there was unspeakable bitterness inside.

He had said his name was Yan Xiangma without thinking when he rescued Lu Qingming from Strange Taoist.

Firstly, it was because of his own bad taste. Didn't that Yan Xiangmas always said that he was a famous hedonistic young master of Jiangnan city and there was nothing that he dared not do? If he placed all these things on his head that would help a good friend get famous.

Secondly, he could effectively hide his own ident.i.ty. After all, compared to Yan Xiangma, he had no power and no authority. If people came to retaliate, how would he fight back on his own?

Unexpectedly, the person that he saved was Lu Qingming from Tiandu.

He felt that Lu Qingming wanted to draw the distance between them closer by mentioning his past a.s.sociation with the Yan family. However, Li Muyang didn't know how to respond.

More importantly, the reason that he followed Lu Qingming to Tiandu was to see his parents and sister. However, his parents and sisters were all living in the Lu family's house——Even if he now wanted to inquire about the situation of his parents and sister from Lu Qingming he did not know how to start.

This was the same as throwing a rock to break his own foot, or digging a hole to bury himself.

“Esteemed grandfather father is too polite. We are just juniors in front of him and he watched us grow up.” Lu Qingming said with a smile, a haze flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes.

A black-clad soldier came galloping over on a horse, reporting in a loud voice, “General, Tiandu is in front.”

“Go back to report first.” Lu Qingming said in a loud and clear voice.

“Yes. General.” One soldier left the group, and the other black-clad mounted soldiers were still scattered around Lu Qingming and Li Muyang.

Li Muyang gazed at the towering city in the distance, excitement fluttering inside of him.

Ever since the farewell in Jiangnan City, he hasn't seen his parents and sister Li s.h.i.+nian.

It should be said that, he had never been out of town. He hasn't even been to any counties around Jiangnan city. Mother Luo Qi strictly would not let him travel long distances.

It was only when they reached the city gate, that Lu Qingming was certain that they were truly safe.

No one would be stupid enough to run to the entrance of the imperial city to kill a provincial governor of the frontier. Not only would this offend the Lu family, but all officials of the entire West wind kingdom. If they could not even protect someone at the entrance, was this country safe at all?

Of course, it would be the most painful smack in the face for the West Wind royal family. They were not going to allow people to provoke their Imperial power and majesty like that.

Lu Qingming turned round to face Yan Xiangma, smiled and said: “Gongzi Xiangma, we are back.”

“Yes. We're back.” Li Muyang said foolishly, looking ahead at the tall grey city walls of Tiandu.

“Later Gongzi Xiangma can come to my Lu household for a visit, and try the excellent wine in my Lu household as a token of my grat.i.tude. If Gongzi Xiangma had not saved me, then my dozens of brothers and I would not have the chance of returning to Tiandu. Even if we come back, we most likely would have return as dead bodies.” Lu Qingming's voice was deep and low, his eyes drifted down, and a sad expression was crossing his face. When they set off, there were more than 100 brothers by his side. By the time he returned, there were only less than 30 people following him.

It was a long journey back. He could not bring his brothers' bodies with him and could only bury them in the Bamboo sea.

The scenery and landscape were beautiful there, like a paradise. Hopefully it would not disappoint those courageous and righteous soldiers. The only downside was that it was a long way there, which meant it would be difficult for their families to visit them.

Thinking of this, even if he was accustomed to seeing death, hundreds of different emotions still clashed in his heart.

“Sounds good.” Li Muyang agreed without the slightest of hesitation.

The reason he came was to see his parents and sister, and now that Lu Qingming invited him voluntarily to his house, his wish had finally came true.

Lu Qingming originally thought that Yan Xiangma would decline his offer; after all, because of Cui Zhaoren's death, the conflict between the two major families had visibly worsened. The Yan family is a va.s.sal of Cui family, if you injure one you injure the other. His family never had any dealings with them and they fought endlessly on the imperial court.
