Don't worry about the road ahead without a confidant
What began with injustice is made permanent by sin. --
Just like that, after a few more days, Wei Feng's injuries were basically healed. The Shennong Hundred Herbs Dew was truly effective and was worthy of being called a healing medicine. Mu Weizhou and Wei Feng had also become more familiar with each other, calling each other brothers. When he heard that they would be going to Luoyang after attending the social fire of the beginning of spring in two days, he thought about going with them. However, he felt a little awkward when he thought about how to mention this to Liu Qingping.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was founded on agriculture, so the beginning of spring became a very important festival. On the day of the beginning of spring, it was usually the highest official in the area who welcomed the spring. The process of welcoming the spring was like this: first, a child wearing a green robe and a green scarf stood in the field outside the east gate. Then, the local highest-ranking officials and elders also wore green robes and green scarves to go out from the east gate to welcome the child. After that, the sacrifice was carried out. After everything was done, the farmers could begin spring plowing. Those who had committed crimes, as long as they were not particularly serious, would be sent back to work in the spring. They would wait until autumn to confirm their crimes and punish them.
On the evening of the day of the beginning of spring, the Guanjun manor organized a large-scale community fire in front of the gate to get a good luck for the new year. Many commoners in the city came to watch the fun. Mu Weizhou didn't like crowds. After watching the Wei Family's performance, he left the crowd and strolled on the street.
Mu Weizhou was at a loss. It had been more than a month since he arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had been busy with one thing after another and had not thought about what to do next. Two years was neither long nor short. He had intended to use two years to travel around the Eastern Han, but now he knew that it was not that easy without money. In the past, when he had watched television and novels about transmigration, he had imagined what he would do. When it really happened to him, there were many things that he could not do anything about. If you don't know how to earn money, it doesn't matter whether you transmigrate or not. Wei Luan and the others would be leaving Guangling tomorrow. Mu Weizhou wanted to go with them so that he could help out with some things and also travel around the world. As for Liu Qingping, he had to think of a way to say goodbye to her tonight.
As Mu Weizhou walked, he raised his head and found himself in front of a unique pavilion. A woman was worshiped inside. Mu Weizheng was deep in thought. When he saw the statue, he couldn't help but blurt out,"If only you weren't a woman.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him say,"If only she wasn't a woman?”
Mu Weizhou was stunned. He knew it was Liu Qingping from the voice and immediately replied,"Ah, I was wondering why this statue is a woman. Why are you here?"
"Why can't it be a woman?" Liu Qingping said, half believing."This is Saint Lady Du Jiang." It was said that she could communicate with the gods. At that time, the county magistrate thought that she was spreading heresy to confuse the public, so he arrested her, put her in shackles, and locked her in prison for strict supervision. However, when they wanted to judge him, Du Jiang could not be found no matter how hard they tried. He had mysteriously disappeared. Later, people saw this Dongling Pavilion here and called her the Holy Mother of Dongling.”
If it was in the past, Mu Weizhou would at most find such a story interesting and not think too much about it. Now that he heard Liu Qingping's story, he suddenly became serious and asked,""Liu…Ah, did you find out how she disappeared?”
Liu Qingping looked at him and blinked. She said calmly,""I don't know. I didn't tell the story. I think maybe the people guarding him secretly let him go. Or maybe she has some special skill and escaped. Or maybe she really knows magic.”
Mu Weizhou was a little disappointed. He felt that other than the few possibilities that Liu Qingping had mentioned, perhaps Du Jiang had similar experiences as him. Since she was missing, she might have gone back.
Liu Qingping saw his disappointed expression and asked,""Brother Mu, what's wrong? Am I wrong?"
Mu Weizhou looked at her and said with a smile,"No, I just thought of something else. Aiya, stop talking. Why aren't you watching the social fire over there? What are you doing here?”
Liu Qingping listened and said," No, I've seen those performances countless times. They're not interesting. I saw you walking this way, so I followed you." What's wrong with you? Do you have something on your mind?"
Hearing her question, Mu Weizhou thought that it was a good opportunity to say goodbye to her, so he said," Yes, Brother…Liu, there's something I don't know how to tell you…"
Before he could continue, Liu Qingping interrupted,""I know. You want to leave Guangling, right?”
Hearing her words, Mu Weizhou felt relieved. He nodded and said,"That's right. I have nothing to do in Guangling and you have returned to your brothers. I want to go to Luoyang with Miss Wei and the others tomorrow.”
When Liu Qingping heard this, she smiled and asked,""What's wrong? Isn't Guangling good?"
"There's nothing bad about Guangling. However, to me, it's actually the same everywhere. But you know that I'm from Luoyang, and I've been living so miserably recently that I don't have a single cent on me. I can just go with Miss Wei and the others, and I'll save on the travel expenses.”Mu Weizhou started to make up stories.
When Liu Qingping heard this, she suddenly stared at Mu Weizhou and asked,""Are you from Luoyang? I grew up in Luoyang. Why can't I hear your Luoyang accent?”
Hearing her words, Mu Weizhou couldn't help but panic. He stammered,"Ah…I just moved to Luoyang.”
Liu Qingping looked at him playfully and asked,""Is that so?" Mu Weizhou wanted to say something, but Liu Qingping said,""Alright, Big Brother Mu, you don't have to make it up. I know you're definitely not from Luoyang. I also know that you don't want to tell me about your matters. You must have your own reasons. Let's talk about it when you're willing to tell me.”
Hearing her words, Mu Weizhou felt warm in his heart, thinking that this brother was really understanding.
Liu Qingping saw that he didn't say anything, so she smiled and asked,""Then when are you going to leave Guangling?”
"I heard from Wei Luan that they'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so I think it'll be tomorrow morning."”As he spoke, a trace of melancholy flashed across his face.
Liu Qingping heard this and said," Since you insist on leaving, then I can't keep you. But I heard from my brother that Uncle Emperor is going on a tour of Mount Tai next month. He will also summon my brothers there. However, Uncle Emperor didn't allow them to go to Luoyang, so they hope that you can help them bring something to Luoyang tomorrow. What do you think?"”
Mu Weizhou was both happy and disappointed when he heard that Liu Qingping had helped him a lot during this period of time. He was happy that Liu Qingping had helped him a lot and could return some favors in this way. He was disappointed that he thought Liu Qingping would be as sad as she was when she heard that he was leaving, but he didn't feel it at all. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Why are you sighing?" Liu Qingping asked. Isn't it convenient for you to help them bring things?"
Mu Weizhou looked at him and said,"Ah, that's not it. What's so difficult about bringing some things?" However, I have been taken care of by you and your family during this period of time. I don't know when I will be able to repay your favor after I leave.”
Liu Qingping smiled and said,""We're friends. The care you're talking about is just that we've spent some money during this period of time, right? Actually, Brother Mu, that's nothing to our family. If I treat it as a favor, I'm afraid you won't treat me as a true friend, right?”
Mu Weizhou was surprised by Liu Qingping's thoughts. He had many thoughts that he had never revealed to anyone. He didn't expect Liu Qingping to be able to see through him time and time again. He couldn't help but feel that this little girl was his confidant.
Liu Qingping saw his stunned look and suddenly suggested,""Brother Mu, I suddenly have an idea. I wonder if you can agree to it?”
"What idea?" Mu Weizhou asked.
"Promise me first, then I'll tell you."”
Mu Weizhou thought for a moment and teased her,"I don't think it's a good idea." Haha. "If it's Miss Wei, I don't even need to think about it to agree, because I can roughly estimate what request she will make. As for you…" Mu Weizhou deliberately stopped when he said this.
"What about me?" Although Liu Qingping was not angry, she said unhappily,""I'm crafty and eccentric, and I do things unexpectedly, right?”
Mu Weizhou immediately denied,""You're too narrow-minded. I'm afraid that if I don't want to pretend to be a boar toad or something, I'll break my promise to you.”
Liu Qingping knew that he was joking with her and said happily,""I think you're not much worse than me. What do you say? It's not something that makes things difficult for you."
"Alright, tell me, I promise you." Mu Weizhou said.”
Liu Qingping looked at Mu Weizhou and said seriously,""I heard from my brothers that all the heroes in the martial arts world will become sworn brothers. Why don't we become sworn brothers too? But we won't be brothers, but best friends.”
Mu Weizhou was very happy to hear that. Although he had some friends since he was young, he had never met someone like Liu Qingping. Although she was young, she was smart, knowledgeable, and had a good character. He felt that Liu Qingping was someone who could be his friend and was willing to be good friends with Liu Qingping. It would be a good thing if he could confirm it through a certain method.
She immediately agreed to his request. The two of them stood in the East Pavilion, and Mu Weizhou said,""Holy Mother above, I am Mu Weizhou and Liu Qingping are willing to become best friends. We will stand upright together, be upright people, do proper things, trust each other, and grow together. Mu Weizhou had never sworn an oath. He wanted to say that he would die a horrible death, but after thinking about it, it had nothing to do with being good friends. He turned to Liu Qingping and asked,""Qingping, what do you think?”Liu Qingping had never done it before. She thought about it and said,"I'll ruin my reputation!" Mu Weizhou smiled and said,"Why is it so serious?" If you say that your reputation will be ruined, then your reputation will be ruined.”
After the two of them became best friends, their entire body and mind felt relaxed. At this time, it was already time to light the lanterns. The two of them walked around the pavilion for a while before returning to the marquis 'manor.
The next day, Mu Weizhou and the Wei family's class woke up early and ate breakfast, preparing to set off. Liu Yuanshou, the Marquis of Guangling, brought his younger brothers and sent everyone out of the manor. However, Mu Weizhou did not see Liu Qingping. Just as he was about to ask Wei Luan about it, he saw Liu Qingping carrying a bundle and running out in a hurry. When Liu Yuanshou, the Marquis of Guangling, saw Liu Qingping come out, he supported her and said to Mu Weizhou and Wei Feng,"My two brothers, please forgive me if you have not received me well. Today, the two virtuous brothers are on a long journey. I have something to ask of you. I wonder if it's convenient?”Wei Feng did not wait for Mu Weizhou to reply and continued,"Lord Marquis, what are you saying? What's inconvenient about that?”After hearing this, Marquis Guangling said," The four of us brothers have received the Emperor's grace. We will be meeting the Emperor in the State of Lu next month, but the Emperor did not allow me to go with you. The two of you are going to Luoyang, and I also want to go to Luoyang to meet the Empress. If you can bring me along, I will be at ease."”
" What's wrong with that? Don't worry, Lord Marquis…" Before Wei Feng could finish speaking, Wei Luan, who was beside him, secretly stopped him. Wei Feng immediately understood what he meant. Everyone looked at Mu Weizhou in unison.
When Mu Weizhou saw Liu Qingping come out with a bundle, he thought that they were the ones who brought the things. When he heard what Marquis Guangling said, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that he had been tricked by the ghost again. Now that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly said,"Brother Liu, please rest assured. We will definitely escort Qingping safely to Luoyang.”When Liu Qingping heard him say this, she made a face at Mu Weizhou beside Marquis Guangling. Mu Weizhou immediately made a face at her, causing everyone to laugh out loud. Marquis Guangling instructed Liu Qingping and gave Mu Weizhou a jade pendant that he always carried with him. Everyone also exchanged pleasantries with the people of the Marquisdom for a while before setting off.
It was the beginning of spring, and Jiangnan was already filled with spring. Willow branches sprouted, the river water turned green, and farmers plowed the fields with oxen or plowed the fields with manpower. It was a busy scene. Mu Weizhou and his group of eight walked and stopped along the way. Every time they reached a bustling place, they would stop to perform. It was not considered hard work. A month later, under Liu Qingping's lead, Mu Weizhou went to Nan Chang Pavilion, where Han Xin, the Marquis of Huai Yin, had once 'endured humiliation' and 'lived and battled' with Liu Bang, Si Shui Pavilion, Mang Dang Mountain, and the place where he killed the White Snake. Along the way, Mu Weizhou had a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He no longer looked like a newcomer, but rather like a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He also learned that Emperor Ming of Han was a very smart person. From the time he ascended the throne at the age of 30 until now, it had taken him 15 years to basically govern the Han Dynasty in an orderly manner. Food was abundant, and the population had increased tremendously. Especially through a series of methods such as selecting and appointing capable people, the administration of officials had become much clearer. In some places, there were already scenes of people not picking up things on the road and not closing their doors at night. The people really praised him. According to Liu Qingping, there were only two things that bothered Emperor Ming. One was the border trouble, and the other was the despotic. Mu Weizhou learned more and more about Emperor Ming of Han along the way. He could not help but want to see what this powerful emperor was like.
