Chapter 154: Sprouting Branches and Sprouting

The seeds take root. The seemingly ordinary wood ash actually contains rich nutrients and is the hidden foundation of Xie Yan.

"Ayan, diving deep to survive, is to take root in the soil, then flourish and grow, and sprout."

"When Tingting is like a cover, I can avenge my great hatred."

“There is no need to rush, and there is no need to despair.”

Unfortunately, the Lu family might have to worry about her.

Although Lu Minghui's power in the Lu family is like a tree that wants to be still but the wind does not stop, once Lu Minghui has established a firm foothold in the noble circle of the capital, Teng will definitely take action to settle accounts with the Lu family. However, it is because of her combination with Xie Yan that the risk and fear increase dramatically.

Where is Lu Yao?

A brilliant and talented person like Lu Yao must have sensed the crisis quickly.

However, Lu Yao saw opportunities amid the crisis.

He has ambitions and a family he wants to protect.

Lu Yao chose to take a gamble.

In the future, if Xie Yan and Huai Qian can really get their revenge, Lu Yao's resolute bet will be a stunning gamble that will go down in history and be remembered forever.

And Xie Yan will one day go to the north to take control of the army and power, increasing the odds of winning this gamble.

Just a wall away.

The night wind wets my blue shirt.

Lu Yao stood by the window, looking at the two cool yet warm plum trees in the courtyard, his expression solemn yet determined.

The banished immortal who is aloof and unconcerned with worldly affairs actually has the deepest roots and the strongest ambitions.

How can one not have the ambition to serve the people and establish one's destiny after reading thousands of books written by sages?

But the existence of Lu Minghui means that his ambitions will be thwarted time and time again and finally buried in the sand.

Not to mention that one's ambitions cannot be realized, even one's life may be in danger.

The old hatred between him and Lu Minghui, and the old grudge between Lu Minghui and the Lu family, are things he must face and deal with.

If you look for the normal road, the daughter of the Yongning Marquis's mansion can block it with a wave of her hand.

He and the Lu family are just ants.

He is unwilling and doesn't want to.

So he gambled.

Lu Yao knew that given Xie Yan's cautiousness, those words were meant for him to hear.

Otherwise, the hidden guards staying in the courtyard would have shown up long ago.

Why not take a chance?

He, Lu Yao, never regrets his move.

Just as Chao Chao said, luxuriant branches and leaves, towering like a canopy, are also a foundation for safety.

Rather than betting on Lu Minghui's kindness, he would rather bet on Xie Yan.

The wind carried the lingering fragrance of plum blossoms and wrapped the snow particles that hit Lu Yao's face.

Stretch out your fingers, twist the snow particles, and watch quietly as the snow particles melt on your fingertips.

Lu Yao chuckled, and his features instantly became lively.

It's like an elegant ink painting suddenly being painted with color.

Lu Yao listened to the house gradually becoming quieter across the wall and closed the windows.

Xie Yan.

Comfortable.

It is his luck to be able to travel with others.

Lu Yao did not deliberately control the sound of closing the window, so Xie Yan and Lu Mingchao heard it clearly.

Lu Mingchao curled his lips helplessly.

This is Lu Yao’s choice.

After a long time, Xie Yan raised his head, his red eyes and pupils sparkling like broken stars, and he looked into Lu Mingchao's heart at a glance.

"Ming Chao, I will not be impulsive and take risks with the Lu family."

Lu Mingchao rubbed Xie Yan's brow and said, "We are dependent on each other for life and death."

She believed what Xie Yan said and would not take any risks impulsively.

Xie Yan's most impulsive time has long passed. Now it is Xie Yan, the Xie Yan who has barely survived a long escape and endured hardships.

I know how precious and rare life is, and I have also experienced the fear of approaching death.

"Ayan, everything is developing. The road to development is tortuous, but the future is bright."

"Maybe, it will be what I want."

Xie Yan's brows gradually relaxed, and when he saw that water could be squeezed out of Lu Mingchao Yishan's shoulders, his eyes drifted away.

Xie family sons, shed blood but not tears.

But in front of the Ming Dynasty, he was a son of the Xie family and also Xie Yan.

Xie Yan coughed twice, his voice still tinged with the dull sobs that had not yet dissipated. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the slightest embarrassment. "Ming Chao, your clothes are wet and sticking to you, it's uncomfortable. You, you should change into a middle-length dress."

Lu Mingchao: ...

After crying, I remembered that my clothes were wet and sticking to me and I felt uncomfortable.

Thinking in his heart, Lu Mingchao just started joking like this.

Xie Yan looked a little unnatural. "The Xie Yan just now was a young Xie Yan from a few years ago. What does he have to do with me, a hunter who can remain calm when encountering a raptor killer?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Only after knowing shame can one become brave.

Knowing one’s enemy brings joy.

Hatred is deeply rooted in our hearts, so we should go into battle with a light heart.

"The charcoal fire in the house is burning brightly, there's no need to change into underwear." Lu Mingchao said in a light tone, not caring much.

Shedding tears is not like pouring water out of the bucket.

Xie Yan shook his head and took out a set of clean and soft undergarments from the round-legged wooden cabinet by the wall.

"You change first."

"I'll go to the kitchen to light a fire and cook the mutton soup I brought from the street."

"Uncle Chen said it was very fresh, so I bought some while you were asleep."

Lu Mingchao agreed with a smile.

At the moment Xie Yan pushed the door, a gust of wind rushed in through the crack of the door, causing the candle on the candlestick to go out instantly. As the door closed, the flames gradually gathered again and illuminated the room again.

Lu Mingchao changed his clothes and scanned the personnel and industries that Xie Yan had summarized.

Between burning after reading and storing in the space supermarket, Lu Mingchao did not hesitate much and chose the latter.

Silently, a rich and delicious scent filled the whistling cold wind.

Lu Yao's voice could be heard faintly, "I want a bowl too."

The scent got closer and stronger.

Lu Mingchao's stomach started to play the empty city trick at the right time.

The night is getting deeper.

The fragrance faded, the voices gradually died down, and everything was silent.

The next day.

Lu Mingchao stood on the stone steps outside the Chaofu Grain Store, looking at the snow on the long street and the pedestrians and horses slipping continuously. He temporarily stopped thinking about rushing to the Taoist temple.

You know, the Taoist temple that Sun Zhiye was looking for was far away and secluded.

Well, it’s even more remote than where Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother lived.

Little Red Riding Hood had to worry about whether the big bad wolf would appear, and she had to worry about whether there would be car accidents and casualties while walking on the rugged and narrow mountain road.

Compared with yesterday, the weather is colder.

Most of the people queuing to buy rice hunched their necks, crossed their sleeves, shivered, and when they spoke, white mist swirled around them.

Lu Mingchao shivered from the cold and returned to the grain market. He leaned back on a cushioned rocking chair and listened to the people who were buying rice chatting about their daily lives.

In Lotus Town, the Zhang family wants to sell their fertile land and is looking for a generous and willing buyer.

For landlords, good farmland, farmland and tenant farmers are the foundation of their livelihood.

It can't be moved easily.

Lu Mingchao became interested. He put down the book he had taken from Lu Yao, raised his ears and continued listening.

Zhang Sheng is a playboy who does not work hard, so it is normal for him to be fooled by Sun Zhiye with just a few words.

Where is the old lady from the Zhang family?

Isn't it said that Old Lady Zhang is a person of skill and insight?

I am very curious about how much money Sun Zhiye intends to cheat from Zhang Yuanwai's family.

Tear a piece of meat?

Or is it just a broken bone?

Or they may simply go bankrupt.

Don’t be too calculating.
