Although he felt a little reluctant, Wang Yanzhou had to remind Tang Chen which was the true reality: "The first half is true, the second half is that you are overthinking it. This information is still confidential. It was a blessing that Xihe escaped from Xiahou Qing. If he knew that Xihe was still alive, Yaochen would be in danger."
Tang Chen said, aren't we still talking about Xihe and Chen Xin? Why is it involved with Yao Chen now? Isn't Yao Chen currently under house arrest in the Eastern Palace by Tianshu Tower? Is his life temporarily safe? "...I feel like there are so many stories in this. Although I really want to know, for the safety of everyone in the capital, I must hold it back, right?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded. Tang Chen was becoming smarter and easier to communicate with. "Yes, I know Xihe is very important to you, so I came to tell you. Now, including you and me, the only person in Qingliang Valley who knows about this is Nianqing. No one else, including Shaoqing and Zhongqin, knows. So, for now, you can only be happy about this matter in your heart, but don't get too carried away by joy."
Tang Chen patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I know how to handle matters like this that concern human lives. Ah, I'm really so happy."
Wang Yanzhou continued, "The person who delivered the message for her also said that they had other plans. As for what they were, they didn't elaborate. I guess they were still worried that Tianshu Tower would find out, so they didn't say much."
Although Tang Chen was very excited and wanted to pull Xihe aside to ask her how she was doing recently and what she had experienced, she also clearly understood that impatient people cannot eat hot tofu. "It's okay. Since the news has come, I think it won't be long before we can meet again."
Having almost finished talking about the serious matters, Wang Yanzhou pulled Tang Chen into his arms, rested his chin gently on Tang Chen's shoulder, and whispered softly, "So, now you should believe that I didn't come back because I was petty?"
Wang Yanzhou's voice became quieter, and Tang Chen's voice also became softer when he replied: "I know your temper, you are just a jealous person."
Wang Yanzhou chuckled softly and said softly, "I'm afraid you might get upset and run off with Lin Feng quietly."
Tang Chen explained: "Look at you, you usually seem quite smart, but why do you always seem to be a little bit overwhelmed when encountering something like this? Don't you think about it? As the saying goes, you can run away even if you can't. What's more, I am a monk and I have to carry two big temples on my back. How can I leave?"
Wang Yanzhou thought about it and thought, yeah, Tang Chen used to run away from home whenever he said he would, but it seems that since he had these two children around, he rarely left without permission. Even if he had to leave the valley or go somewhere else for something, he would come back after only a few days. "Now that you mention it, it's true."
Tang Chen patted Wang Yanzhou's back gently and said, "Alright, it's embarrassing to do this in public. And standing so high up, it won't be good if someone sees us."
Wang Yanzhou gently let go of Tang Chen, then turned his head and said to the empty rooftop, "Qiuliang, turn your back."
"......" Qiu Liang in the dark said that instead of turning his back, he wanted to leave this "place of trouble" more.
After saying that, Wang Yanzhou put his head on Tang Chen's shoulder again. This position, when hugging someone, is the most comfortable. "It's better now. No one is staring at me. Besides, I'm hugging my own wife, so what bad influence can there be? I haven't hugged you and the child properly for a long time. I'm tired."
Tang Chen comforted him, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, with great power comes great responsibility."
"I need a little comfort."
After Shi Zairong obtained the Life-Growing Gu, the people of Qingliang Valley were clearly even more excited than Shi Zairong himself. With the Life-Growing Gu now in the hands of the Huangfu family, ready for resolution, Qingliang Valley naturally didn't need to intervene. Furthermore, they had already reached a secret agreement with Shi Zairong. In other words, if Tianshu Tower truly took that step, Qingliang Valley would still be blocked by Shi Zairong and his Nanyue army.
The heavy burden that had been weighing on his shoulders had been largely lifted, and he naturally felt a sense of relief. After Wang Yanzhou finished his important matters, he could go to the palace every few days. As for Yan Shaoqing, Zhong Qin, and others who had been "exploited" for years, they were already preparing to take a couple of days off to rest properly.
At the same time, Xiahou Qing was still on his way to Qinghe County; but he had already reached the Ming River, and it wouldn't take too long for him to reach Qinghe County to clean up Xiahou Chun's mess.
While traveling, Xiahou Qing's mind was busy. He pondered many things along the way, most of all regarding the sudden and repeated incidents that had occurred in Qinghe County since he had arranged his deployment and completely left the county. Naturally, his whereabouts were confidential, and it was impossible for them to be disclosed all at once. Furthermore, while the incident in Qinghe County had occurred suddenly, it was definitely not a one-time effort. Tianshu Tower's secret outpost deployment in Qinghe County was also impenetrable. After much deliberation, Xiahou Qing had indeed gotten himself into a dilemma.
In fact, Xiahou Qing's current trance could be summed up in one sentence: overthinking, being too clever, and being too confident in himself. More simply, things had gone so smoothly before that he had become a little arrogant.
After the explosion, Qinghe County was put under a true lockdown after the people saw the true face of Tianshu Tower. Merchants delivering daily necessities could enter before, but now, apart from the Tianshu Tower, no one else, even those with close ties to the building, could leave.
The "instigator" of this situation is now working in a funeral supplies store, helping to paint funeral supplies or do carpentry work; he looks almost the same as a formal funeral supplies store employee.
The three Huangfu brothers were busy in the backyard of the funeral supplies store, while Huangfu Ning was lying comfortably on a recliner. It was so cool under the shade of the tree, and his life seemed quite comfortable.
After Huangfu Chongjun finished his painting job, he sat down on the ground. While taking a breath and drinking some water, he asked for himself and his two brothers, "Uncle, how long do we have to stay here?"
Huangfu Ning closed his eyes and said leisurely, "Haven't you always wanted to come to the black market? It's only been a short while, and you can't stay any longer?"
