Eternal Saint Doctor - C156
As Fang Cheng had said, it would take at least a few months to make a single trip. It was normal for there to be over a hundred merchants guarding a caravan. Even if the Beitang soldiers had a good memory, it would still be impossible to completely remember them.
“Haha, that’s only natural. Moreover, it’s not the first time that Fatty Fang has crossed this line. His relationship with those guards is also quite good.” A person beside Dongfang Bo laughed.
“Tomorrow, we will set out to return to the North Court. When that time comes, Brother Tai, you can come to the North Gate to look for us.” Fang Cheng had a triumphant look on his face as he smiled at Qingyang.
“What is it? You’re going back so early? Didn’t you say a few days later? ” Dongfang Bo was surprised for a moment and asked with doubt.
“I just got a new batch of top quality tea. If I leave in a few days’ time, plus I’m afraid my trip will be delayed, I won’t be able to sell them for a good price.” The Beitang Country was located to the north of the Nine Prefectures and the weather was dry. There was very little tea being produced, so if the new tea from Nan Rong was sold to the Beitang Kingdom, it would indeed be worth it.
“Hmm, if this trip is just for new tea, then we will be leaving tomorrow. We can’t just get drunk today.” Dongfang Bo nodded, and said with some regret.
“Look at what you’re saying, Brother Dongfang and I have a lot of time ahead of us, we should get together sometime in the future.” Fang Cheng laughed loudly as he looked towards Dongfang Bo and said, “We’ll count as having a reunion today. Will we be able to spare you when we come back next time?”
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Qingyang also had a faint favorable impression of these people. He did not discover the cunning character of a merchant from these people. Instead, he felt that he was frank and straightforward and was extremely interested in Qingyang.
“Fatty Fang, it doesn’t seem to be early anymore. Let’s drink until here today. You guys should go back and rest early so that we can get up early tomorrow.” After about an hour, Dongfang Bo suggested.
“Mm, that’s fine too. We need to return and arrange the goods on the carriages. Let’s drink here today.” Nodding his head, Fang Cheng turned to Qingyang and said with a smile, “Brother Taiyi, don’t forget that we’ll meet at the north gate tomorrow morning.”
“Fatty Fang, you really are long-winded. Let’s go.” After laughing and cursing, Dongfang Bo led the way out of the private room. The crowd also followed him out of the Extreme Wind Pavilion.
After exchanging farewells in front of the Red Crane House’s entrance, Dongfang Bo looked at Qingyang and smiled. “Let’s go. The carriage will probably only arrive in an hour. Let’s take a walk back to the mansion.”
“Mm. Brother Dongfang, it seems that I’ll be leaving tomorrow.” Qingyang and Dongfang Bo walked side by side, and their words were faintly lonely.
“Kid, you have the love of a child and the short of a hero. “It’s not like Yanran can’t wait for you!” Dongfang Bo naturally knew that Qingyang was unwilling to part with Yanran after he scolded her with a smile. That was why he was acting this way.
However, it was true that Qingyang would always return for a few days and travel far away. Qingyang felt that he owed Yanran a lot.
“Hehe, Uncle Dongfang please take good care of Yanran.” Qing Yang smiled in embarrassment. He knew Dongfang Bo’s words were reasonable. Men should naturally stay in the four directions and not be implicated by their relationship.
“Bullsh * t again!” Yanran is my daughter! You don’t have to say that I will treat her well! ” Glancing at Qingyang, Dongfang Bo somewhat helplessly said, “But Yanran is also a cultivator now, and she went into seclusion for a few days. She passed it in the blink of an eye, so she won’t be like before.”
Qingyang nodded. He naturally understood that true cultivation had no time to spare. Many people would go into seclusion for several days or even ten years at a time. To cultivators, time was nothing more than a flick of a finger.
The two chatted as they walked back to the Eastern Residence. It was already late. After bidding Dongfang Bo farewell, Qingyang naturally came to Yanran’s side yard to inform her that they were leaving tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Yanran didn’t show any reluctance to stay and instead encouraged Qingyang.
“Yanran, in the past you have repeatedly told me to come back earlier, why did you …” In the end, he could not help but ask.
“Brother Qingyang, men’s aspirations are set in four directions. Moreover, right now, I am also a cultivator who has lived for several hundred years.” She raised her head and looked at Qingyang with a smile as she spoke sweetly: “Yanran is also prepared to train well. I hope that she can be around Qingyang gege as soon as possible.”
Qingyang softly said as he lovingly rubbed Yanran’s head, “If both emotions lasted for a long period of time, how would it last in the morning and evening?”
Nestled together, the two chatted until late into the night before Qingyang reluctantly left. On the way back to his room, he told Qingyang Ming that he would be leaving tomorrow before returning to his room to meditate.
The next morning, Qingyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked around at the yellow silk clothes that Dongfang Bo had prepared for him. After changing the clothes, it felt awkward, but Dongfang Bo and the others felt that Qingyang was more refined and threatening.
Dongfang Ming, on the other hand, was dressed in a black suit with a blade and sword, like a bodyguard. Although he wasn’t very tall, his silent demeanor made others think that he was an expert at keeping a low profile.
“Alright, alright. No need to send me off. I’ll be back in a few days. Take care.” Qingyang said with a smile as he cupped his hands and bowed.
“Brother Qingyang, when you come back, you might not be my match anymore!” “Qingyang,” Yanran whispered into Qingyang’s ear. However, after she finished speaking, she lightly tapped Qingyang’s face with her cherry red lips before jumping back behind Dongfang Bo with a scarlet face, causing everyone to burst out in laughter.
Feeling his face, Qingyang felt his heart burning, but he endured the urge to smile and nod at Yanran. He then jumped onto his horse and headed towards the north gate of the city.
“Brother Qingyang, I’ll call you ‘old master’ in the future and it’s worthy of my current identity.” Qing Yangming suddenly spoke up from his horse.
Qing Yang was about to refuse, but when he turned his head and saw Qing Yangming’s resolute expression, he hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. After all, the relationship between master and servant was one that would not easily arouse suspicion.
Before they even reached the north city gate, they saw a line of dozens of carriages lined up in succession. It was likely that they were also from Fang Cheng’s caravan, and with a quick glance, he discovered that other than the tens of merchants, there were actually more than a hundred guards.
“Brother Taiyi, you came rather early.” When he saw the Azure Sun Imperial Horse riding over, Fang Cheng walked out from the caravan and welcomed it with a smile.
“Haha, Brother Fang, you reminded me so many times yesterday. How could I dare to be late?” After greeting him politely, Qingyang introduced, “This is my personal bodyguard, Ming.”
Having traveled far and wide for so many years, Fang Cheng was naturally an expert in judging people. Squinting his eyes, he sized up Qingyang Ming and naturally felt that he was an expert. His tone of voice was extremely courteous towards him.
After introducing Qing Yangming to the stewards, Fang Cheng led the two to a horse carriage and said softly, “This is a horse carriage that Brother Dongfang has ordered us to prepare for you. If you’re tired from riding, you can rest in there.
“En, thank you, Brother Fang. You can go back to your work first. I can stay by myself.” Dongfang Bo was truly meticulous in his heart. He still needed to meditate and cultivate, but it was inconvenient to ride on horseback. After that, Qingyang smiled and agreed.
“That’s good as well. The two brothers are free to do as they please.” After all, he still had a bunch of things that he hadn’t finished dealing with. Fang Cheng was in a hurry to leave as well. Since Qingyang had spoken, he didn’t bother to exchange pleasantries with him as he turned around and walked towards the back of the convoy.
After waiting for around half an hour, everything was finally ready. Fang Cheng rode on a tall red brown horse as he shouted, “Let’s go!” After that, the large group began to move towards the North Hall.
