Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 526
Chapter 526 Return to the Original Owner
Hearing Yuan Tiangang’s words, Qin Mubai felt that he was being toyed with and used. It was very bad.
“So, you’ve been playing with me all this time, using me!” Qin Mubai’s voice was filled with anger.
“No, no, no!” Yuan Tiangang couldn’t calm down anymore. He knew that provoking Qin Mubai was an extremely bad thing. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Although Poverty Dao is selfish, he doesn’t dare to have any disrespect or malicious intentions towards Young Marshal Qin!”-I do have an idea to use your influence to change the fate of my granddaughter, but … it doesn’t hinder Major Marshal in the slightest! Not only does it not hinder you, it will also be of great benefit to you, isn’t it? ”
“Horn!” Qin Mubai slapped the table and the teacup jumped up high, causing the tea to spill out from all directions!
“Since you already knew the number of days, why did you watch as Yao’er encountered misfortune?!” Qin Mubai was already furious. He pointed at Yuan Tiangang and said, “Mingzhu is your granddaughter, isn’t she Yao’er?!-What qualifications do you have to call yourself grandfather!”
Yuan Tiangang was instantly stunned, and his expression suddenly darkened.
He let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and shook his head dispiritedly, saying, “Young Marshal Qin has scolded me … I really don’t have the face to recognize them.” Actually, everything was because I was young and careless, so I was arrogant. I thought that I could teach Jiang Shan a little magic and smile arrogantly. As a result, the heavenly secrets were repeatedly leaked, and the consequences were finally rewarded. Afterwards, I came to an epiphany. I was afraid that my family would be implicated, so I became a monk and never recognized my daughter. But it’s too late. My daughter, son-in-law, suffered a calamity in Kang Country. Her family was destroyed, and her flesh and blood were separated, causing Yao’er to lose her sight. Later, I learned that your father saved my son-in-law and Yao’er … ”
“Why didn’t you recognize them back then?” Qin Mubai asked with a gloomy face.
Yao’er had always been a thorn in Qin Mubai’s heart and could not be touched.
“I’m afraid … I’m afraid that I’ll bring them misfortune and disaster again!” As Yuan Tiangang spoke, his expression became extremely painful and his emotions gradually became excited. “I secretly went to see them a few times, but not long after, their home was caught in a fire!” My son-in-law is dead, and Yao’er is in the streets! At that time, I was truly heartbroken! Later, I saw you helping Yao’er! From then on, I swore that I would spend my entire life trying to change the fate of Yao’er and Mingzhu, even if I were to endure endless heavenly scourge, and find a good home for them! ”
“But in the end, Yao’er still suffered a calamity!” Qin Mubai sighed, “Heavenly Master Yuan, you are famous for being omnipotent, yet you are so useless and useless towards your family!”-If I had a choice, I would rather die than Yao’er! I am still an outsider, so how can you be so ruthless and ignore them? ”
Yuan Tiangang immediately burst into tears, tears rolling down his face.
“This old man … I don’t want to! But I’m an ominous person for revealing that I’m heavenly scourge! I don’t even dare to recognize them! Other than you, no one else knows about my relationship with Mingzhu. Mingzhu only regards me as her master and asks me to give her advice.” Yuan Tiangang said, “The matter with Yao’er is indeed beyond my expectations.” I’ve already said that your appearance has changed the fate of many people. Even the fate of the Great Tang Dynasty and the Chinese nation has changed as a result. My calculations are no longer accurate. “Even though Junior Brother Li Chunfeng calculated that there would be someone he loves to protect you from disaster, we didn’t expect that person to be Yao’er!”
“Alright, there’s no need to say anything!” Qin Mubai waved his hand, “What do you want now?”
Yuan Tiangang’s face was filled with shame as he sighed, “I have confessed everything to Young Marshal Qin without concealing anything.” Right now, the truth was in front of him. If the Great Tang wanted to dominate the Western Regions, they needed a strong and loyal ally as their auxiliary wing and barrier. Zhaowu nine surnames, abyss in the same race, divided for a long time is bound to be together. This was the best opportunity. If the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu were to be unified into one, then the king would definitely come from the sovereign state, Kangju. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, Young Marshal Qin. ”
“I know.” Qin Mubai nodded indifferently. “You want to borrow my power to help your granddaughter unify the nine kingdoms and give the throne to Wu Meiniang. Now that my wife has become the king, the grand plan of the Great Tang in the Western Regions has reached perfection. This is a good thing for me, both in public and in private.”
“Isn’t that so, Young Marshal Qin?” Yuan Tiangang looked at Qin Mubai with anticipation.
“That’s right.” Qin Mu’s eyebrows sank. “However, no one likes to be manipulated and used by others! Listen up, Heavenly Master Yuan. Whether it’s a national matter or a personal matter of me, I, Qin, am not someone you can control and manipulate!”
“Yes, yes … I’m still well aware of myself. I don’t dare to act rashly in state affairs, and I don’t dare to interfere in Young Marshal Qin’s affairs.” Yuan Tiangang hurriedly said yes and cupped his hands. “I’ve lost thirty years of my life after letting off steam. Now that I’ve exhausted my lifespan, I’m sure I won’t be able to live long. I just hope that before I die, I can see that my only relative in this world has a good ending … Is this just a dying wish of an old man? Isn’t it too much?”
“Thirty years of life lost, your lifespan will be exhausted?” Qin Mubai looked at Yuan Tiangang in surprise. “Heavenly Master Yuan, you are an expert who knows the secrets of the heavens. I don’t know if what you said is true or false. Your wish is your business. Considering that you are Yao’er’s grandfather, I can assure you that I will treat her well and won’t let her fate repeat itself!”
Yuan Tiangang’s face immediately revealed joy. He heaved a long sigh of relief and bowed to Qin Mubai. “So, old Yuan Tiangang, thank you, Young Marshal Qin!”
“Please get up!” Qin Mubai sighed helplessly and said, “Pitiful father and mother. Although you’ve been using me, I don’t blame you anymore.”
“Thank you, Young Marshal Qin, for your magnanimity!” Yuan Tiangang stood up, his face full of gratification, and said, “There is no need to thank you for your kindness. Today, I will return a treasure that originally belonged to Young Marshal Qin to its original owner!”
“Baby?” Qin Mubai smiled. “Could it be some kind of heavenly treasure, an immortal cultivation spiritual medicine?”
“No. It’s … her!” Yuan Tiangang raised his finger and pointed outside the room.
Qin Mubai turned around and saw that it was Li Xueyan who had returned from her trip. She was holding a large food box in her hand, which contained wine and vegetables.
She walked to the door and bowed, “Master and distinguished guests, please wait a moment. I will go and settle the wine and dishes.”
“Go!” Yuan Tiangang laughed.
After she left, Qin Mubai asked, “Is this what you mean–returning the object to its original owner?”
“Haha, is the old speech improper. But … “Yuan Tiangang paused for a moment and stroked his beard with his hand.” She’s not completely destined to become a monk, so it’s impossible for her to become a monk. Between you and her, there are endless chaotic relationships. If you can’t live in this life, you will be tangled with evil spirits in the next life. Besides, Young Marshal Qin, have you forgotten how you used and hurt her back then? How much did she pay for you, and she didn’t hesitate to be laughed at by her family and the world? … Young Marshal Qin, listen to this old man. Everything is owed in this world, only debt of affection can’t be owed! “This old man is a living example!”
The last sentence caused Qin Mubai’s entire body to bounce.
“Even so … I’m not afraid of anything because I’m afraid that she won’t be able to pass my trial.” Qin Mubai said, “When I reappeared in Shanzhou after my fraudulent death, she left without telling anyone else. She must have left behind a huge knot in her heart. I’m afraid that she … will find it hard to face me again.”
“What’s so scary about a man?” Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, “Young Marshal Qin, you can command thousands of troops, but you’re afraid that you won’t be able to subdue a woman’s heart?”
“Don’t say it, I really don’t have confidence.” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly. “I’m not worried about other women. Only Yao’er and Li Xueyan … I owe these two people …”
Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, “Young Marshal Qin, don’t worry.” Actually, the reason why Jing Wei became a monk was to escape. Wasn’t it because she couldn’t let you go in her heart? This old man has been a monk for decades, but he still can’t let go of his mortal relatives, let alone her? –Young Marshal Qin, the person in front of you is the one you should cherish the most. “Don’t treat Yao’er like you always know her value after you lose her. At that time, you will only feel sad and sigh!”
‘”I understand” Qin Mubai sighed and nodded. “Everything is complicated right now. After I deal with the food, Kang Country and Mingzhu, I will definitely pay attention to the matter of Xue Yan.”
“Haha, good, good.” Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and smiled, “If you have a lover, it’s better to get married …”
Later, Li Xueyan brought a few simple vegetables and a pot of light wine, but she refused to sit down. Qin Mubai drank two cups with Yuan Tiangang and said goodbye. She said that she would visit him again when she had time, leaving Yuan Tiangang to stay here for a while longer.
Yuan Tiangang also agreed.
Before leaving, Li Xueyan stood at the door and waited for Qin Mubai.
“Snow Goose” Qin Mubai hesitated, not knowing what to say.
“My name is … Jing Wei.” Li Xueyan’s face turned slightly red. She avoided Qin Mubai’s gaze and whispered. She even reached out and handed over an item. “Here’s something like this for you.”
“What is it?” Qin Mubai took a look and saw a cloth bag. At this moment, he remembered that this was one of the three tricks he had left behind in Dafeichuan. One of them was handed over to Li Xueyan by Hou Junji.
“Why did you return it to me?” Thinking back to the past, Qin Mubai felt a little ashamed. He handed the brocade pouch back and said, “It’s better for you to keep it as a memento!”
Li Xueyan sighed softly, “No need, I’m already a monk”. “In the past, all of this was caused by my ignorance and greed for love. Now that I’m cultivating with Master, I’ve comprehended it thoroughly. I don’t want to have any nostalgia for things in the mortal world anymore.”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Have you forgotten what your master said? He said that cultivators should be natural and harmonious. They can do whatever they want when they come out of the world. They can do whatever they want when they come out of the world, and they can do whatever they want when they want to. They are free to do whatever they want, and they can do nothing.”
Li Xueyan was instantly stunned. “You actually can’t forget? I have listened to Master’s many teachings in vain, but I still can’t remember them. I don’t understand.”
Qin Mubai continued to smile and said, “Since you can still tangle with a cloth bag, it proves that you can’t be perfectly natural. In other words, you are in the empty door, but your heart is in the mortal world. What you said just now was just deceiving yourself. Xue Yan, what do you think in your heart? You know best in your heart. Take the brocade pouch first. I’ll be back in three days. At that time, if you insist on returning it to me, I will accept it. If you’re willing to keep it, then … ”
Li Xueyan’s face turned red as she picked up the brocade pouch and turned to leave.
“Then, I’ll marry you!” Qin Mubai said from behind her.
Li Xueyan’s entire body trembled, and her pace became even faster. He entered his bedroom as if he had escaped. He closed the door and clutched his chest tightly with both hands, as if he was worried that his heart would jump out of his chest.
Yuan Tiangang walked out from under the eaves and laughed, “Young Marshal Qin is indeed a straightforward and responsible man!”-Jing Wei, Jing Wei, for three days, you must think carefully about what you have been avoiding. Is it what you are most afraid of and yearning for? ”
Qin Mubai smiled and left.
