Chapter 116 Young Master, this person can be dealt with
They enjoyed the mutton hotpot very much. Wei Mingqi alone ate more than six pounds of mutton, and Wan Renshan ate almost four pounds. After the meal, the soup in the pot was almost cooked up by the two of them.

“Sometimes I really feel like I’m getting old.”

After taking a rest after dinner, Wan Renshan half-leaned on the kang, rubbed his stomach with his big hands and said helplessly:

"When I was young, I could eat more than 10 kilograms of meat in one meal. Now, I only eat three or four kilograms and feel bloated. I'm afraid I won't be able to put on armor in a few years."

"..."

Wei Mingqi had recovered some of his strength now, but he was too lazy to pay attention to the old man. He kept saying that he was very old and wished he could use a cane. Anyone who believed him would be a fool.

Wan Renshan didn't care whether he responded or not, he just lowered his head and looked at the kang and said:

"I lived in this courtyard when I was a long-term attendant. At that time, I was about the same age as you. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. It feels so different to lie here again."

Wei Mingqi heard something wrong. The old man was really feeling sad about the passing of spring...

As he was well-known for his filial piety, he moved his sprawled body to make some room for him, and consoled him:
"I'll find you a turtle spirit tomorrow. That thing can make you immortal. Then you can keep it as a family heirloom in the palace, and pass it down from generation to generation."

"..."

He is filial piety, but his grandson's words are so unpleasant, he even brought out all kinds of heirlooms.

"Why would an old man like me want to live forever?"

Wan Renshan moved his body onto the kang, and after a full meal and a few drinks, he lay down and felt even more comfortable than if he had received the tortoise spirit: "But you, a young man, are not tempted by the legendary immortality?"

"Why live so long?"

Wei Mingqi spoke frankly: "I only wish to live a carefree life for a hundred years. I must not be like you, worrying more and more as I grow older."

"..."

Not to mention a godson, even a biological grandson shouldn't say such harsh words.

"Then why are you looking for a turtle spirit for me? Do you want to make your grandfather miserable?"

"I am the one who is worried about. I definitely want you to live longer because you worry about me. It would be best if you could also take care of my future children and grandchildren."

"...You are a real grandson."

"Could it be that this name is called 'Grandpa' for nothing?"

The two of them kept talking back and forth, and finally both the old and the young were amused. After laughing for a while, Wan Renshan closed his eyes and lay flat on his back, saying leisurely:

"There is no such thing as true immortality in the world. The so-called turtle spirit and phoenix blood can only make people live an extra 100 or 200 years. If life is not satisfactory, living for a hundred years will only add to troubles. On the contrary, if life is enjoyable, the sound of cicadas chirping for a whole summer will be enough."

"So from now on, it would be better if you could sit in this courtyard more often."

"..."

Wei Mingqi listened in silence for a while, then reached out and patted the leg next to him.

"I know, old man. Take a break."

There was no more sound from the other end. After a while, when the snoring sound next to him began to rise, Wei Mingqi stood up and left quietly.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the sky was already full of stars. The young man looked up at the full moon, feeling somewhat disappointed. This was the first time he had spent the New Year outside since they had met, and it seemed that the old man was still not used to him not being around.

Five years is neither long nor short. No matter what the original purpose was, the feelings are always in my heart and cannot be faked.

This is the case with Wanren Mountain and Wu Tongtong as well. When you travel far away in the future, it will be hard to let go of these memories of the past.

After a moment of melancholy, Wei Mingqi felt that he should focus on the present.

Li He...

Although he told the old man to arrange it, how to do it was a problem. The beggars who had delivered the letters to him before were easy to find, but Wei Mingqi was not sure about what attitude Luo Shen, who was beside Li He, had towards him.

It would be fine if he just felt disgust, but if he showed no moral integrity and had murderous intent, it might be a problem for Li He.

I don’t know if she still has the cleverness she had as a child. If she does, she should be able to conquer Luoshen in a few years, right?
As he embarked on his journey home, Wei Mingqi suddenly thought of a troublesome matter.

If his master knew about this...

It seems that I have to draw a clear line between myself and this "traitor" in front of Xie Beiling.

It doesn't matter if Li He is angry, he just has a gift to express his feelings secretly.

When he thought of this, Wei Mingqi suddenly felt stable.

…………

On the Wei River, after the tenth day of the first lunar month, the number of fleets on the river gradually increased. They were all businessmen from other places coming to Beijing. Among the deep-draft and slow-moving merchant ships, there were several two-masted sailing ships that were sailing briskly against the wind, and on the decks there were warriors in tight clothes patrolling back and forth.

At this moment, in the cabin of one of the ships, a black-bearded man with a long sword on his back and a bottle of strong wine in his hand was talking to the men and women in front of him with spit flying:
"Young Master is a true hero—"

"Just before the New Year, several of our brothers in Beijing were shot to death by Jianghu people with military crossbows. The young master led the team directly into the Beijing camp without saying a word. During the investigation, they were obstructed by the second generation ancestor of the Zhao family. His grandfather was the governor of the Beijing camp, and his aunt was the empress. They were legitimate royal relatives. No one dared to offend them in Beijing on weekdays. They were used to bullying people, but they ran into the muzzle of the young master's gun!"

"Kuacha--"

"He was so arrogant one moment, and the next moment the young master killed him. He was dead in one blow. At that time, he was in the Beijing camp, surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, but the young master didn't even blink an eye and insisted on seeking justice for the brothers who died in Beijing."

"When Zhao Chengsi died, his grandfather and father led their troops here, vowing to avenge their grandson. Our young master was not afraid at all in the midst of the siege of thousands of troops. Wherever his 10-foot-long spear passed, all the soldiers and horses were shattered! The scene was no different from when Yu Zu was alive!"

"After that, the father and son of the Zhao family were so frightened that they almost knelt down on the spot! They swore that they would never provoke the West Mansion again. The young master found out the source of the crime and released the man after seeing that it had nothing to do with them. Afterwards, the whole country was shocked, and all the civil and military officials rushed to impeach the young master. What was the result?"

"Nothing serious - our young master's backing is stronger than the Zhao family!"

"With a pat on the back, the young master turned around and went to the culprit Xu family, and killed the Xu family father and son, as well as the elders. You should know Xujiabao, right? He was a county marquis in the government and a powerful force in the martial arts world, but he was still eliminated by the young master within a day! Do you think this is the end? There is more!"

The man took a sip of liquor and continued to speak to the people in front of him:

"The young master once promised to help the brothers avenge their family, and he was very clear about it. You should all know about the matter between Yu Niang and the Yue family, right? So many years have passed, and the matter was finally settled a few days ago. The young master took Yu Niang to settle it personally, and the Yue family was expelled overnight!"

"I'm telling you, the young master is a really capable person. He really stands up for his brothers when something happens. Listen to my advice, Old Wang. Don't be so rude when you go there. Try to be sensible. The young master won't treat his brothers unfairly!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the cabin.
