Not long after, the drunken man Ren Pengju walked in from outside and reported, "After Qi Chengwei returned to the government office, he called the master to go to the study room for half an hour. Then he made a quick horse set off from the backyard and headed north. I sent my brothers to follow him."

Dongfang Nuannuan nodded to show her awareness.

Ren Pengju said, "No mistake, he must have reported the message to the emperor. Should he send someone to intercept him?"

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "At the time when Jingnan was in conflict, among the eight evil kings, the white-faced scholars made many wisdom and tricks, broke the Weishui Bridge and seized Yongguan. Their contributions were not inferior to Yu Wen Tianlu. After Zhu Liye ascended the throne, he only became a small magistrate and became the prefect for twenty years. If there was no problem, I wouldn't believe it."

Ren Pengju said, "What the Saint means is that he is His Majesty's man?"

Dongfang Nuannuan smiled and said, "You can tell whether it is true or not."

Seeing that Ren Pengju had become a guardian of Duan Yufei, Xiao Jinyan became much more respectful, which was completely different from the way he looked like he was so generous when he first met him. I don’t know if he was happy or worried for him.

Back then, under Yuwenshuang, he was full of energy, open-minded and humble, and was also known as a drunkard. Although he was hostile at the time, he had a very close temper. After only two or three years of hard work, he felt like he had changed his personality. Although his status was high, his face was still sad.

After Ren Peng went down, Dongfang Nuannuan said, "Ren Guardian has been doing his best for the Holy Church over the years. I value him very much. Back then, he had a high opinion of you."

Xiao Jinyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But he is not very happy."

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "His wife suffered from cold poison, just like my illness back then. I am afraid that I am the only one who can save her in this world."

Only then did Xiao Jinyan understand how to join the Divine Sect of Light to serve Dongfang Nuannuan? There were some unscrupulous reasons. Dongfang Nuannuan understood the hearts of people and had their own ways to control the subordinates. Xiao Jinyan was ashamed of it.

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Why didn't you see Li Xiancheng's son?"

"Li Renjie hated Zhao Langjiang to the core, so he naturally had no good feelings for you. I arranged something else for him, and I guess he is already in the capital now."

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "If the world can find someone who scares me, you will belong to that person."

Dongfang Nuannuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Xiao has such a high opinion of me. Nuannuan should be happy or sad?"

Seeing her appearance and smiling, but looking at her expression, it was unfathomable. Xiao Jinyan felt that he could never see through this woman who looked like an enemy but not an enemy, but not a friend.

Fan Wuchang was packing the table next to him, and the leftovers were full of leftovers. He felt very distressed when he saw it, so he generously said, "So many leftovers, I think you two should not leave either. It's better to be hot at night, I'll treat you!"

Xiao Jinyan seemed to not know Boss Fan and said in surprise: "You are willing to treat you, and you have really lost your pie in the sky."

Fan Wuchang said, "Besides money, people have to make one or two friends, right?"

Xiao Jinyan teased, "In my heart, there is only silver in your eyes."

While talking, Li Lihua returned to the inn to register the bill. Fan Wuchang saw her and smiled and greeted her. He handed over the banknote he had just received, saying, "Madam, today's bill is 496 taels in total. I took my own initiative and gave them a discount. 490 taels, please click a little?"

Li Lihua counted twice and her brows frowned slightly.

Fan Wuchang's heart skipped a beat, "What, are you counting?"

Li Lihua said, "The number is correct, but we always have clear prices when doing business. With your personality, how can you give them discounts and bring them!"

Fan Wuchang looked ashamed and took out another six taels of silver, "It's all here."

Li Lihua said, "How come, I'm learning to hide my private money and want to split up?"

Fan Wuchang said, "I thought so. I originally wanted to use the extra six taels of silver to worship Buddha and donate some incense money to use it."

Li Lihua snorted coldly, "You go to worship Buddha and don't steal silverware from the temple, it's already very good for them to give them face. They even donate money on their own initiative. Are you cheating on the ghost?"

Fan Wuchang's lies were exposed and his old face turned red.

"I have told you how many times that our family has some money, but there are many places to spend money? Xiaodao has not married a wife yet. My father is old and has not robbed him many years ago. He said he wants to accumulate virtue for Xiaodao. Wuliangdong has so many brothers to support him. How can he not save money from the money he earned? Mr. Song, who picked you up back then, was that voice that could scare the other party's courage. He is over 60 years old this year and has tuberculosis. When it rains, his voice is like a broken gong. We can't support him?"

Fan Wuchang said it was.

Li Lihua continued, "Impermanence, I don't let you spend money. Don't our store give you more than 500 yuan in pocket money every month? If something really happens, you need money, just tell me."

Fan Wuchang whispered, "I need money."

Li Lihua said, "I didn't hear clearly what you said."

Fan Wuchang said, "It's nothing, I'm not saying it."

Li Lihua's face sank, "How come, don't you tell the truth?"

"It's just that Li Qingcheng is going to get married. I think I'll get two taels of silver back and forth, and ten taels of silver for gifts."

"Which Li Qingcheng?"

"The Li family in Jinling was a worker in our store two years ago, and you were still looking at him."

Li Lihua said, "That little face is really beautiful, so this money should be followed." After that, she took out ten cents from her arms and handed them to Fan Wuchang. "You can find a way to deal with the money on the road."

Fan Wuchang felt like he had found a treasure and thanked him repeatedly. "If you marry a wife like this, what else can you ask for?"

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the two of them quarrel. It was really a tofu that was made of brine, and one thing was the same as another. It was not a family, and it was not a family.

Dongfang Nuannuan saw it in her eyes, with a smile on her lips, showing a look of envy.

In the evening, Fan Wuchang, Xiao Jinyan and Dongfang Nuannuan had dinner together. Monk Baolu was very tired today and sat down together.

Although the meal was leftovers, it was very rich.

Xiao Jinyan knew Dongfang Nuannuan's temperament. With her identity, how could she eat this kind of thing? She asked, "Why would you order two new dishes for you?"

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "Boss Fan can eat, so how can I not eat?"

Fan Wuchang smiled and said, "Old Xiao, it is really a blessing for you to marry such a wife. If you want power and martial arts, the key is that you are kind and have no airs."

Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, you have never seen the other side of her before.

There are a lot of food, but fortunately there is a treasure road, so there is no need to worry about leftovers. Xiao Jinyan hasn't seen him for two years, but he only feels that his whole body is like a calf, his tendons are like steel, and his realm seems to have improved again.

"You haven't seen each other for two years, you've made a lot of progress."

Fan Wuchang muttered, "I have a high level and my appetite has doubled. If this continues, Xiaoyao Inn will be almost lost."

Baolu Road, "Isn't you forced me to get up three updates every day, sleep for five updates, carry water, sweep the floor, buy vegetables, cook, and eat more work that I can't finish?"

Fan Wuchang said sternly, "I am training you and testing you. You don't understand my painstaking efforts."

Baolu Road, "I don't want to have much effort either. I can't eat enough every day. A few years ago, when I was weak, I only ate ten steamed buns in a meal. Now I can't beat them if I don't have thirty!"

Fan Wuchang said, "Okay, since that's the case, you can clean up tomorrow and go back to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang."

Baolu panicked, "You want to drive me away?"

Before Fan Wuchang could speak, Dongfang Nuannuan said, "What's going to happen in White Horse Temple."

Baoludao, "With my master here, he will support you in the big things."

Abbot Liqun of the White Horse Temple has extraordinary martial arts. Twenty years ago, it was already the Vajra Realm of Buddhism. It was once famous in the martial arts world. It is said that he competed with Li Chuntie for 300 rounds, and there was no distinction between victory and defeat. However, in recent years, he has devoted himself to practicing Buddhist scriptures and rarely attacked others. But he knew his power, Baolu.

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "Your master has met an extremely powerful opponent. If you don't go, he is the only one, and I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it."

Fan Wuchang said, "It's not that I don't want to keep you. But, only you can help your master resolve this disaster." He took out four taels of silver from his arms, which was the rest after the settlement with him today by the Wulin League, and handed it to him, "You have been working here for three years in vain. I originally wanted to give you more, but the situation in my family is like this. If you save some money, you should be able to survive until Luoyang."

Baolu is a little reluctant to leave.

"I'm leaving, what should I do if the inn?"

"I'll hire a few more people. After going to Luoyang, fight with people. If you have no choice, remember not to use all your strength."

"Where is my master's opponent?"

"No, you can't beat it anyway."

Although Baolu is stupid, he is not stupid. "Then will I die if I go?"

Fan Wuchang said, "It may not be possible. If you really can't beat me, just mention my name."

"Does it work?"

Fan Wuchang spread his hands, "Look! I don't know either."

...

After dinner, Xiao Jinyan lived in the inn and moved into the woodshed very consciously. The woodshed was still the same as before. He and Zhao Langjiang lived here for a long time. At night, Zhao Langjiang snored like thunder. However, now the people living with him have become treasure roads.

Baolu tossed and turned at night, and the sound of grinding teeth was like grinding tofu grinding stones. The sound made Xiao Jinyan even more sleepy.

He came to the yard.

Ren Pengju was drinking on the roof. When he saw Xiao Jinyan, he threw the wine pot over. The two of them sat on the roof, looking at the moon as they were full of emotion.

The drunkard Ren Pengju was the gold medal leader of Yixiao Hall, a powerful general under Yuwen Shuang. The two of them had fought one match, but now, he has defected to Dongfang Nuannuan and has not seen each other for three years, and his temples are already gray.

Xiao Jinyan said, "The moon is quite round today."

Calculate the day, it was July 15th.

Ren Pengju said, "On the fifteenth day of July, the Ghost Gate will open. Calculate, it is also the day when the cold poison in the lowly house occurs."

Over the years, Ren Pengju has turned white due to his wife's illness.

"I wonder where my sister-in-law is now?"

"Hometown."

Ren Pengju said, "I was devoted to practicing martial arts and wanted to make a name for her and let her live a good life. At that time, I was young and energetic and challenged all kinds of heroes, but I offended the two elders Xuanming. They were not my opponents and attacked my wife. From then on, I was infected with cold poison. I was angry and killed the two of them, but I didn't get the antidote. Her appearance today was all my fault."

"Why would I beg the girl Dongfang and let her give you the antidote?"

Ren Pengju shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The saint's pill can only relieve her temporary suffering. If she truly detoxifies, she needs Xuanhuo Order. This is a holy object of the divine religion. How can she borrow people easily? Besides, she has been infected with cold poison for twenty years and has no cure at all."
