Upon hearing this, Gao Yi immediately turned around, glanced at Liu Sanbian, and sighed slightly.

He sat down again and looked directly into Liu Sanbian's eyes. "You just came back, I'm afraid you'll be sad. Well, well, I'll tell you what I know."

Liu Sanbian nodded without saying anything.

"Half a year ago, your father submitted a memorial impeaching the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Qin."

Gao Yi raised his eyes and found that Liu Sanbian had a blank expression on his face, but he was not surprised.

"You know, when the Wei Dynasty was in power, corrupt officials were in power. Your father was convicted for his words, and was sent to prison and exiled to the army. He became a teacher in the market. Later, when the new emperor came to the throne, Prime Minister Qin eliminated the corrupt officials, rectified the world, and restored the former officials. Your father was among them."

"So your father's impeachment of Prime Minister Qin caused a great uproar. I am not very clear about what was written in the memorial, but I heard that it mainly listed the crimes of the Qin family in Langxi. One of them was that Prime Minister Qin was not strict in educating his son, and his only son Qin Ji was doing evil, bullying the weak, and harming the people of Liangjing..."

"Although this memorial had a great impact, it had no substantial impact on Prime Minister Qin. The Emperor of Wei ignored the memorial, and Prime Minister Qin remained gracious to the Emperor. Prime Minister Qin also smiled and did not blame your father."

"But……"

Gao Yi paused.

"That day, Qin Ji and his followers were strolling in the east of the city, and they ran into your father who was eating at a street noodle restaurant. Later... later, perhaps because of the memorial, Qin Ji, instigated by his lackeys, had an argument with your father and lost..."

Gao Yi sighed deeply and stopped talking.

He glanced at Liu Sanbian's expression and found that he was still neither happy nor sad. "Sanbian, the deceased is gone. Please accept my condolences..."

"How did he die?"

Liu Sanbian suddenly asked, "How did you fail?"

Gao Yi pursed his lips, "I heard that it was that evil young man who wanted to scare your father with a horsewhip, but ended up... hitting his head."

Gao Yi sighed, tightly grasped his old friend's hand, and said in hatred: "The two people around Qin Ji who instigated this incident have been imprisoned by Prime Minister Qin and tortured to death."

"Qin Ji was served by the Qin Prime Minister and bowed his head in apology in front of your father's coffin."

"The Emperor of Wei was also furious and demoted Qin Ji from all his official positions. He then posthumously conferred titles and honors on your father."

"Prime Minister Qin was ashamed of his poor parenting and had no face to serve as an official. He submitted petitions to resign three times in a row, but was persuaded to do so by the Emperor of Wei and the entire court."

"And the Qin family of Langxi paid compensation of 100,000 taels of gold. Well, because your father lived alone and had no relatives, all the compensation was given to your two younger brothers who have already started official careers and started families outside."

"Because of this incident, the court and the Qin family feel guilty. I believe your two younger brothers will have smooth careers in the future."

Gao Yi patted the silent Liu Sanbian's hand and said in a deep voice:

"I know you are sad, and I want to go with you to kill that evil boy."

"But this is the best outcome."

"They are the Langxi Qin family, one of the most powerful families in Wei. Prime Minister Qin is a Confucian and Taoist master at the Golden Core level..."

"Your father's funeral was held in a very dignified and grand manner, and your two brothers also accepted the Qin family's compensation."

"My dear brother, the dead are gone, and the living are like this."

Gao Yi's tone was somewhat sad, and he looked at his silent and expressionless friend in front of him with concern.

Gao Yi thought about it and was about to speak, but when he saw Liu Sanbian staring at the ground with his eyelids retracted, he sighed slightly and said nothing.

There was silence in the hall for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Yi exhaled a breath of foul air, forced a smile on his face and said, "Let's not think about these things today. It's been a long time since we last met. Let's have a good chat, brothers."

"How have you been doing in Yunshui Cave these years? I heard from my friends that Yunshui Cave is quite interesting."

Liu Sanbian pursed his lips, turned his head to look out the window, and replied, "Not bad."

Gao Yi's eyes widened slightly, and he tilted his head back slightly, and said with interest:

"What is your current cultivation level? When you left, you were already a ninth-rank warrior about to break through. Now, you must be at least sixth-rank, right?"

The sinister man withdrew his gaze from the window and turned to look at his old friend. "Originally, I could have reached the sixth rank, and even the fifth rank was not impossible. But something happened back then and injured my body. Now I am only at the seventh rank."

Gao Yi frowned, "How could you be so careless? The path of martial arts for a warrior like me is already difficult, and the physical foundation is the most important. How could you leave hidden injuries!"

But then, the black-clothed man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sighed, "But he's better than me, too. I've been worrying about the villa all these years and meddling in other people's affairs. I've gained a false reputation as a righteous man, but my martial arts skills have been ruined. I haven't made much progress in my cultivation. Now I'm only at the eighth level. I don't know if I can catch up with you in this lifetime!"

After saying this, Gao Yi seemed to be getting angrier the more he thought about it, and he cursed Liu Sanbian with a smile.

After that, Gao Yi found some topics to reminisce about the past, but before long, Liu Sanbian suddenly stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing this, Gao Yi did not stop him and sent him down the Juyi Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the two said goodbye and Liu Sanbian turned and left.

Gao Yi stood where he was, watching the back of his old friend, with whom he had been in the underworld together when he was young, gradually walking away.

At that time, he liked the elegant appearance of wearing green clothes and holding a sword, while Liu Sanbian didn't care about his outfit and was rough and sloppy.

They don't seem to be the same kind of people at all, but they are surprisingly like-minded.

Sometimes they would agree that one of them would play the role of a vicious bandit who robbed the girl, while the other would play the role of a young and promising hero who would appear on the scene and save the girl.

Sometimes they had no money to drink, so they would go to the pub and have a drink. After that, they would be detained in the pub to wash dishes and guard the door for a month, so that they could get free drinks for another month.

Sometimes they saw injustice and tried to help, but ended up doing more harm than good and were chased all over the mountains and plains.

"Three changes."

Gao Yi suddenly spoke.

Liu Sanbian stopped and looked back.

"Can you stay and have a drink with me?"

Liu Sanbian remained silent.

Gao Yi narrowed his eyes.

Then he said solemnly: "If you need any help, you can come to me."

He added: “Just like back in the day.”

Liu Sanbian nodded, turned and left.

…

It was evening of that day.

Twenty miles outside Liangjing City, there is a solitary tomb located among green mountains and clear waters.

The entire tomb was built in a solemn and majestic manner.

It was almost night, and everything was quiet.

Suddenly, a sinister man came to the tomb carrying a basket.

He squatted down, lowered his head, took out several dishes from the basket, and placed them one by one in front of the tombstone.

There are braised beef, salted cucumbers, and peanuts.

These are all the food that person likes to eat.

Of course, these are just side dishes, and what that person loves most is wine.

The sinister man took out two jars of wine.

He drank from a jar.

He turned a jar upside down.

At some point.

The sinister man rubbed his hazy eyes, turned his head and glanced around the tomb, and suddenly felt that there was still something missing.

Not food, not drink, but he felt it was necessary.

fine.

Go get it tomorrow.
