From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 225 Reading Letter
Autumn is high and fresh.

After leaving Beijing, I saw the migrating geese flying south and people also heading south.

There were fifteen people when we came, but three were missing on the way back, leaving only twelve.

In addition to Jiang Tang, two other maids who accompanied her also stayed.

Originally, according to the Third Miss's arrangement, Jiang Tang was also going to go back to Songhe Prefecture with Meng Yuan, but this time Meng Yuan took his own initiative and kept Jiang Tang.

But the reason had already been thought of: the old lady was bored as a widow and wanted to keep Jiang Tang by her side for a few months to relieve her boredom.

Jiang Tang has always been obedient and sensible, but this time she didn't want to stay in the capital any longer. However, after knowing that Nie Qingqing was also staying in Shenjing, she agreed, but she just pulled Hu Qian and Tie Niu to talk a lot, as if she was instructing them about something.

Heading south, everyone knew their mission was accomplished, and they relaxed and rode their horses faster and more cheerfully.

Meng Yuan also took this opportunity to reflect carefully on what he had seen and gained on this trip.

Except for the difficult encounter with Xie Yisheng and others, the journey was smooth.

Moreover, as soon as he arrived in Shenjing, he met Wang Er, the supervisor of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and had the honor of having tea and chatting with Wang Er.

Meng Yuan was an honest man and he didn't try to show off anything. Even a seventh-rank warrior wasn't in other people's eyes, but he made a name for himself after all.

Moreover, this trip almost confirmed the identities of Mingyue and Yingmei, and knew that Mingyue was deeply involved with the National Master's Mansion.

If you want to learn the supernatural powers in the future, you may want to follow Mingyue's path.

Of course, this trip did help him to build a relationship with Mingyue. Although he didn't say much, since he was willing to meet her, it meant that he was nostalgic.

In addition, I met the Fairy Sister-in-law, and also got to know Master Nie’s old friends and their descendants.

In addition, he also obtained the Bodhi Destruction Heavenly Secret Map from Lanruo Temple and witnessed the demeanor of a sixth-rank warrior. Of course, this trip was mainly to escort Jiang Tang and meet the old lady, which was considered a successful completion of the mission.

They brought back a lot of things, including poetry, books and local specialties bought for Xiangling, as well as letters from Wang Er to the Third Miss, Mingyue to the Third Miss, and Mingyue to Xiangling.

The girl in the red cloak didn't reply to Xiangling's letter, which shows that Xiangling doesn't have much face.

After thinking about this, Meng Yuan considered his future plans carefully.

After this trip to Beijing, nothing major happened before the New Year.

The time spent in Shenjing was not short, more than half a month, but Meng Yuan was either accompanying Lin Yan to meet his sister-in-law, or meeting guests, and at night he had to accompany Sister Qingqing.

The time for practicing and opening up the acupoints was not much, so Meng Yuan took some time out of his busy schedule and opened two more acupoints.

Since then, twenty-one of the upper thirty-three heavens have been opened, which is one step closer to full opening.

Meng Yuan has made up his mind. When he returns to Songhe Prefecture, if there are no important matters at the garrison, he will practice with peace of mind, focusing on opening the acupoints.

Now that Sister Qingqing and Jiang Tang are both staying in Shenjing, there is no need to be distracted at night. There is no need to think about moderation or indulgence. Just focus on opening the acupoints.

In his spare time, he would drink and chat with Gong Zihua and others, or exchange witty remarks with Dugu Kang, or sing poems with Xiangling.

With this combination of work and rest, the upper thirty-three days will be fully opened by mid-November.

At the same time, you also have to think about nourishing your essence and fire.

If one wants to nourish the essence fire nowadays, one must at least burn people of the seventh or middle level. The eighth level is already of little use.

But Meng Yuan had no other choice but to take it slow and see if he could meet his destined person.

Because of the cool autumn weather, the group traveled day and night and reached Songhe Prefecture in just seven days.

After being away from home for more than a month, everyone is already eager to return home.

He hurried into the city and returned to the palace.

After handing over the horses, Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian came to Jingyuan together.

The wind was cold in October. Xunmei wore a thin cloak and saluted Nie Yannian and Meng Yuan with a smile, "You must have had a hard time on your journey."

"It's not hard at all!" Nie Yannian really wasn't tired. He had achieved the purpose of this trip to Beijing and introduced Meng Yuan to his old friends.

Nie Yannian was somewhat ashamed because of Nie Qingqing's death, but Meng Yuan's talent was extraordinary and unmatched among his peers, so he was now completely proud of himself. Therefore, Nie Yannian was very excited and gave Meng Yuan a detailed analysis of how to get promoted in the future and talked about having a grandson in the future.

"Did the trip go smoothly?" Xunmei asked with a smile.

"Have a safe journey." Meng Yuan said with a smile.

"Is the old lady okay?" Xunmei asked again.

"Everything is fine." Meng Yuan replied.

"Why is Jiang Tang not here?" Xunmei asked curiously.

"She stayed in Shenjing." Meng Yuan said.

Xunmei accompanied him and said a few words, "Please follow me."

After entering Jingyuan and walking forward for a while, you will see the pavilion by the lake.

The autumn wind is strong, the green is gone, and only some yellow remains.

There used to be lush lotus leaves in the lake, but now only withered lotus branches were left, and birds flew over from time to time.

There was someone sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, wearing a wide Taoist robe. It was the Third Miss Ying Rushi.

Why can't I see Xiangling? Meng Yuan was just wondering when he heard the sound of wind in the depths of Jingyuan, as if something was running fast.

Soon, a figure with brown skin and white belly appeared. She stopped in the distance, supported herself with her lower limbs, and stretched her head to look over here.

"Oh! It's the little gelder!" Xiangling identified the person and ran very fast to Meng Yuan, then climbed up his legs and onto his shoulders.

She had a cloth flower on her hair and was carrying a small bag.

The style of the small bundle had changed, and there was even a lotus embroidered on it. No one knew who had done it.

"Why do you look better again?" Xiang Ling stared at him with her eyes wide open. She leaned forward to look at Meng Yuan's face and sniffed with her wet nose. "You smell really good!"

She stared at Meng Yuan in a daze, talking non-stop, "You're finally back! I wrote a lot of poems!"

Meng Yuan reached out and scratched Xiangling's back, whispering, "I'll read your poetry collection tonight."

Xiangling's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Let's sleep together!"

She leaned on Meng Yuan's shoulder and refused to leave, obviously missing him very much.

Only then did Ying Rushi raise her head and look at Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian.

Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian stepped forward and saluted, "Third Miss."

"Please sit down." Ying Rushi said lazily.

There were no tables or chairs in the pavilion, so Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian sat cross-legged on the cushions.

Ying Rushi poured the tea and looked at Meng Yuan.

"Miss San." Meng Yuan had to explain why he had left his disciple in Shenjing. "The old lady loves Jiang Tangling, so she let her stay in Shenjing for a few months."

Xiangling stared with wide eyes and asked curiously, "Isn't my young wife coming back?"

It should be so, and I won't pursue it, just nod.

Meng Yuan repeated the old lady's words again, but Ying Rushi remained silent.

After a while, Meng Yuan took out the letters from Wang Er and Mingyue.

"A letter from Wang Er, the chief inspector of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and Miss Mingyue." Meng Yuan presented it.

Ying Rushi glanced at Xiangling, who immediately stepped forward to take it, “Look at you being lazy!”
