Chapter 67: Prosperity and Disaster Together

The two stood at the entrance of the village, waiting for the person in charge of Gaojia Village to come.

The caravan went ahead to explore the way in advance and make some arrangements for the large group behind. It was also a way to make friends with the other party in advance and enhance the relationship.

This way, they can travel together in the next few days. Panlongling is not easy to cross, and Min Zhong is still worried.

If it weren't for the experienced masters like Wu Liang and the others escorting the team, I'm afraid more people would have died.

Gao Lizheng quickly brought the young people from the village over.

Seeing someone coming, Min Zhong immediately changed his tone and said, "I'm sorry to bother you by coming to the village to stay overnight."

The road is dark at night.

"It's only a few miles to go."

"Huh? How many miles is there left?"

Tu Huan held a flashlight to illuminate the way ahead. Xie Yuchuan was surprised but quickly regained his composure.

Just like he was the only one who could communicate with the household god, he was the only one who could smell the fragrance when the household god came, and he was the only one who could see the light illuminated by the god. It was not something that he could not accept.

Xie Yuchuan is quick to learn.

Tu Huan's flashlight was quite bright. When she shone a beam of light on it, not only could she see the road under their feet clearly, but Xie Yuchuan could also see the backs of dozens of people in front of him clearly.

He walked at night as if it were daytime. He could see all the obstacles on the ground clearly and naturally go around them.

Xie Wuying, who was squinting his eyes and still looking at the road behind him, soon discovered that his sixth brother Xie Yuchuan in front of him was obviously a wounded man. His movements were originally very restricted, and walking at night was even worse than walking in the daytime. But suddenly, his feet were as smooth as if walking on flat ground, without any hesitation, and he walked steadily.

Sometimes he would see him turn right without hesitation and go around, and he would be wondering why he didn't follow him and stepped into a pit while walking.

Xie Yuchuan heard the noise and turned to look at him: "Did your foot get hurt?"

"No, I just stumbled a bit." Xie Wuying came out of the pit and hurried after him. "Sixth brother, you're walking so fast. Be careful. There are many pits and stones at night."

Xie Yuchuan thought for a moment and said, "Tell the people behind you to follow me."

Xie Wuying: “?”

"OK."

He went to inform the people behind him, and soon the Xie family members behind him followed Xie Yuchuan. They followed whichever route he took. Gradually, everyone found that he was worthy of being a major general!

The road under my feet was so smooth.

When Tu Huan first discovered that Xie Yuchuan could see the light from the flashlight, she was very surprised and thought that the system's shielding function was not working properly, but later she found that no one else could see it except him.

After thinking about it, it might be because of the special relationship between Xie Yuchuan and myself.

That’s not bad!

She illuminates his future, and he leads the way for his family behind him.

The capital, Gyeonghui Palace.

A palace maid lowered her head and took small steps, quietly walked out of the small door, and turned into a narrow and deserted palace passage.

After nightfall, the palace gates were tightly closed, and outsiders were not allowed to walk around the outer palace without a token. The guards at the gate had just changed shifts when they heard the sound of carriages and horses behind them, and a palace token was extended from the carriage window.

The guard took it, examined it, and returned it, "Open the door!"

The carriage quickly left the palace and gradually disappeared into the thick night.

In the deep garden, someone wearing a fox fur coat stood in the moonlight, looking up at the sky.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, please take care of yourself." The considerate palace maid reminded.

The beautiful woman was already quite old. She chuckled when she heard this and said, "Life and death are determined by fate. What's the point in taking care of yourself?"

She pointed to the sky and said, "Look at the moon tonight. It's dim and even the stars beside it aren't as bright as usual. The world is like this too. Prosperity is shared by all, and adversity is shared by all. Even if chickens and dogs want to ascend to heaven, someone must first attain enlightenment."

The palace servant didn't dare to say anything more. She turned around and took the hand warmer handed to her by others to replace her master.

"My Lady, everyone has their own blessings."

"Um."

Soon, a man came in from the side door of Gyeonghui Palace, came to the main hall courtyard, and knelt down to answer.

"Your Majesty, the person has been escorted out of the palace."

"Did anyone notice on the way? Was everything going smoothly?"

"To reply to your Majesty, everything went as planned and smoothly."

The woman frowned slightly, feeling a strange feeling in her heart. If there were any setbacks, she would feel uneasy, but if things went too smoothly, she would always feel a little suspicious.

On second thought, maybe I was overthinking it.

"Go down and rest, and come back to receive your reward."

"Thank you, Madam."

The yard became quiet again. Dark clouds covered the bright moon and did not disperse for a while. The woman gathered the fox fur with both hands and turned back to the hall.

The maidservant beside her helped her change her clothes. Suddenly, she whispered, "Take my token and invitation tomorrow and go invite Old Master Xu to the palace."

After changing clothes and turning off the lights, another ordinary day passed.

East City, Xu Mansion.

Under the candlelight, Mrs. Xu had just changed the medicine on her son Xu Su's body.

Madam Xu dismissed the maids and servants in the room and personally brought Xu Su a cup of hot water. Xu Su was so frightened that he quickly stood up and wanted to do it himself.

"Mom, I can't let you go through all this trouble. I can do it myself!"

Madam Xu pushed away her son's outstretched hand and sat down beside his bed. "Forget it. It's better for you to take good care of yourself."

Xu Su laughed dryly and took the hot water.

"How do you feel?" Mrs. Xu asked worriedly.

"Very well." Xu Su deliberately moved his arm to indicate to Madam Xu the speed of his recovery.

Mrs. Xu looked at him, her eyes hesitant to speak.

Xu Su's head ached as he watched. He put down his empty cup, looked up, and asked, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Nothing." Mrs. Xu said vaguely.

Xu Su was most afraid of his mother being like this. He grabbed a pillow and placed it behind him, saying seriously, "Since I woke up, you've been coming to see me every once in a while. You've been coming back and forth seven or eight times today. If you have anything to ask, feel free to ask."

When Mrs. Xu heard her son say this, she no longer had any worries.

"So I asked?"

"You ask." Xu Su thought to himself, it was just why he was injured so badly.

He had already told his mother about this matter, and he didn't know what else his mother would ask.

Madam Xu pondered her thoughts, stared at Xu Su's face, and asked, "Son, I want to ask you, please tell me the truth and don't try to fool me, okay?"

Xu Su smiled and said, "Mother, feel free to ask me when I have ever fooled you."

"You've fooled me a lot about marriage." Mrs. Xu said unhappily.

Xu Su's forehead tightened, "Mom, I'm seriously injured now." The implication was, can we not mention this?

Mrs. Xu originally didn't want to ask about this matter tonight. She waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Mother wants to ask about other things."

No questions about marriage?

That’s great!

Xu Su's tense nerves relaxed at once, and he said happily, "Mom, if you ask, I'll tell you everything I know."

Madam Xu pointed at the wound on his body and asked solemnly, "I heard that the sixth son of the Xie family had a diviner heal your wound. Is this true?"

Xu Su: "..."

Hasn't he already told his family about this?

"I wasn't around when you said that. Your wound healed too quickly, and I was worried about your father, so that's why he told me."

Xu Su nodded, "It should be true."

His subordinate was not the kind of person who talked nonsense. After waking up, the two of them had clearly reported to him the matter of Xie Yuchuan from Songjiang Town praying for the gods on his behalf. There should be no mistake.

Besides, he himself had vaguely sensed it at that time.

Besides, as a martial artist, it is common for him to get injured.

This time the wound healed so quickly that even he was shocked.

The story of the Xie family's gods is probably not as fictitious as it is said outside, but it is probably true.

Madam Xu thought for a long time and asked, "Since Xie Yuchuan can ask the gods to save you, can you please write a letter to him on my behalf, asking him to save your sister's life?"
