Xuanxia

Chapter 243 Farewell
Yue Heng slept until after noon before waking up slowly.

He still reeked of alcohol, and when he woke up, he looked at the luxurious carriages around him, feeling a little dazed.

"woke up?"

Fu Qingzhou leaned over and said with a smile: "Not bad, you performed very well today."

"Young man? Did you act well?"

Yue Heng sat up, holding his head, looking confused: "I don't remember anything..."

"It's okay, don't remember." Fu Qingzhou patted his shoulder and pointed to the package in his arms: "In short, you just need to know that the grudge between you and Master Lan has been temporarily resolved, and you have some money in your hands, so you can continue to go to the capital."

Yue Heng was surprised and happy, and looked down at the extra package in his arms.

It was filled with small change.

"Brother Fu!"

He almost jumped up and hugged her: "You are my great benefactor!"

Fu Qingzhou laughed and pushed him away: "Don't come on, don't come on, I'm counting on you to be my backer after you become a high-ranking official."

Yue Heng was startled, then said solemnly: "Brother Fu, this is absolutely not allowed. If you want to be a good official, you can't be partial to others..."

"Okay, okay, do I look like that kind of person?"

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a thin book from his arms, and slapped it into Yue Heng's arms: "Take it."

Yue Heng took the book in confusion and opened it.

All I saw was a book full of symbols that I couldn't understand at all, with the uses and activation methods of these symbols marked on the sides.

"What, what is this?!" Yue Heng was overjoyed.

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Last time in the dilapidated temple, I saw that you have a talent for this. I have also written about how to open your spiritual orifices on the last few pages of this book. You can try it. If you succeed, at least you will have some ability to protect yourself."

"Yes, yes!" Yue Heng was overjoyed, holding the book tightly in his arms, and then raised his head in a daze: "Uh, then Brother Fu, shouldn't I call you Master?"

"It's so pedantic, so pedantic."

Fu Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "These are the most widely circulated and basic talismans. They are not secrets at all. You can learn them casually. If you really have talent in this area, wait until you enter the Palm Sword Academy and learn more advanced spells."

Yue Heng nodded repeatedly in response.

At this moment, Tang Jiao, who was driving outside, called out softly: "Brother, we are at the five-way intersection~"

Wucha Road Intersection is a major fork in the official road not far from Hengfeng City. Going northwest is Luoyi, and to go to Beijing, one has to go northeast.

In other words, the two brothers Fu Qingzhou and Yue Heng reunited briefly, but then they had to part again.

"Brother Yue, you can't drive this carriage by yourself, so just ride the horse. We don't want this carriage anymore, just leave it on the side of the road."

Fu Qingzhou clasped his fists towards Yue Heng and said with a smile: "Next time, I will go to the capital to find you."

Yue Heng was both moved and reluctant. He stammered for a long time and could not utter a word.

Fu Qingzhou burst into laughter and rushed over to give him a bear hug.

"Okay, Brother Yue, stop being so petty and be more generous!"

He patted the other person hard and said, "Be more frugal with your money and drink less in the future!"

Yue Heng also laughed and clapped his hands back: "Brother Fu, don't worry! I will only drink cheap wine from now on!"

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

……

"Wuwei Temple, Fu Qingzhou?"

Hengfeng City, Lan family, in the study room deep in the courtyard.

Lan Hongjun sat at the side of the desk, frowning, looking at the young man who was bowing deeply in front of him. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned his gaze to his father. Lan Wanxiong sat behind the desk, twirling two large iron balls in his hands, with a calm expression, and no emotion could be seen.

"father?"

Lan Hongjun asked politely, "Do you want to... ask your aunt?"

"Why ask her?" Lan Wanxiong said calmly, "She is a person who can handle big things. There is no need to bother her with such trivial matters."

Lan Hongjun lowered his head.

"Achen." Lan Wanxiong asked, "What do you think?"

The young man, Achen, stood up and said respectfully, "Master, I think you don't need to worry too much about this matter. Since Fu Qingzhou said so, he wants to settle the grudge with us. I think he won't bother us again."

"Young Master will go to the capital to take part in the minor imperial examination. With your talent, it won't be a problem for you to enter the Palm Sword Academy... By then, it will be easy for you to find out about the so-called Wuwei Temple and Fu Qingzhou."

"If what Fu Qingzhou said is true, and Wuwei Temple is indeed an existence that the Lan family has to give face to, we don't have to make enemies with it. On the contrary, if he is just trying to scare us with malicious intent, with the Lan family's ability, it would be easy to find him and kill him."

Lan Wanxiong stroked his short beard and nodded slightly. The iron ball rolled in his palm, making pleasant crackling sounds when it collided.

"good."

He said in a deep voice: "Let's do it this way."

After saying that, Lan Wanxiong looked at his son and frowned slightly: "Achen is good, let him go to the capital with you and take part in the minor imperial examination."

Hearing this, Achen trembled all over, and his eyes suddenly revealed strong excitement!
"Yes."

Lan Hongjun nodded: "Everything is up to Dad."

"Yes." Lan Wanxiong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's leave it at that... Jun'er, remember, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, don't take action if you don't want to, but if you do take action, you must not leave any trouble behind - but at the same time, before taking action, you must find out the other party's background, and don't let something like today happen again."

After saying that, he stood up and left the study.

Lan Hongjun and Achen watched Lan Wanxiong leave. When the two young men's eyes met, there was an indescribable emotion in their eyes.

"Achen..."

Lan Hongjun suddenly smiled grimly: "Of course, a little book boy has the opportunity to be admitted to the Sword Master Academy. Won't he soar to the sky in the future?"

Ah Chen quickly bowed his head and said to him, "Sir, what are you talking about? Ah Chen, no matter how high I go in the future, I will still be a member of the Lan family and will always be your little servant!"

Lan Hongjun just sneered with a fake smile, stood up and prepared to leave the study.

But at this moment, Achen suddenly said, "Sir... just now when the master asked for a solution, what I said was not the truth."

Lan Hongjun's eyes flashed, he stopped, turned his neck and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"The master is very busy and will not focus on this matter. In his view, this is just a small conflict."

Ah Chen said seriously: "But for Mr. Yu, he was humiliated by a few unknown people. No matter what, he can't let them go like this."

Lan Hongjun's eyes flashed with joy, and he laughed sinisterly: "But my father has already forbidden me to touch them again. Wuwei Temple's Fu Qingzhou might also have a background. Do you have a solution?"

"Yue Heng."

Ah Chen straightened up and smiled, "Fu Qingzhou is a man of the world, with extraordinary skills, and perhaps a very powerful background; but Yue Heng is just a poor scholar after all, and he went to Beijing to take the exam alone, with no one to rely on."

"To do this, we should start with Yue Heng, then lure in Fu Qingzhou and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Lan Hongjun stared at him, his mouth widening.

"very good……"

He put his arm around Achen's shoulders and laughed, "As expected of you, you are the book boy who has accompanied me to study since childhood! You have won my heart! Hahahaha... Achen, pack your things tomorrow and go to the capital with me!"

Ah Chen laughed along, but when Lan Hongjun wasn't looking, there would be a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.
