Tian Yuan

Chapter 1353 Invitation

He put away the black stone, turned his head and looked at the old ox lying on the ground, and scolded with a smile: "You old guy, you are getting lazier and lazier."

It’s not Chen Qingyuan’s fault for scolding it, but the old ox was lying down and eating grass, and soon, all the grass near its head was gone.

Ever since following Chen Qingyuan, the old ox, which was about to reach the end of its life, has inexplicably gained more strength and has always remained vital.

"Moo..."

After spending a long time together, the old ox was able to understand the meaning of Chen Qingyuan's words and barked in response.

"You're lucky to be following me. If I hadn't been at the market that day, you would have been someone else's meal."

Chen Qingyuan looked lazy.

"clatter"

At this time, the old ox stopped lying there. It stood up with great effort, walked slowly to Chen Qingyuan's side, lowered its head and rubbed him gently.

"Go play somewhere else. You stink. Can you take a shower?"

Chen Qingyuan said with disdain.

"Moo..."

Being despised by its owner, the old ox cried out in grievance. Then, it went down the mountain to the stream and took a bath honestly, washing away the dirt all over its body.

Such peaceful days lasted for another two years.

Today, the weather is clear and cloudless.

Zhu Wulang went up the mountain alone, and the rest of the people waited at the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Chen, I am here to bother you again."

The depression in my heart disappeared the moment I arrived at the wooden house.

"Are you alone this time?"

Chen Qingyuan asked softly.

"Old Wei has something going on at home, so it's inconvenient for him to come over."

In fact, Wei Changqi was currently stationed at the border and couldn't come back for a while.

"What are you doing with all these things?"

After taking a glance at the cloth bags that Zhu Wulang brought up the mountain, Chen Qingyuan asked again.

"Come and be Brother Chen's neighbor and stay for a few days." Zhu Wulang said frankly: "Brother, you won't chase me away, will you?"

"That won't happen." Chen Qingyuan said.

"I brought a few bottles of good wine. How about I help build a thatched hut so we can have a good drink tonight?"

Zhu Wulang smiled and made a request.

"Row."

In this way, Zhu Wulang stayed here temporarily.

Gradually, the two became familiar with each other, and the topic of conversation unconsciously shifted to the affairs of the dynasty.

No matter what trouble there was, Chen Qingyuan could always come up with a very reasonable solution, which made Zhu Wulang admire him greatly.

After staying for seven days, even though Zhu Wulang was reluctant to leave, he still had to say goodbye.

As the ruler of a country, you cannot avoid dealing with state affairs.

After a few polite words, we made an appointment to meet next time.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

Counting the time, Chen Qingyuan has been in Changjin State for more than ten years.

The old ox was not dead yet, his blood was surging, and he was getting younger and younger. His eyes had a hint of spiritual charm, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was faintly entering his body.

After spending more time together, Lao Huangniu became more respectful to Chen Qingyuan and was very grateful to him.

Three years later, Zhu Wulang brought Wei Changqi to visit again.

Both of their faces showed signs of aging, with a few grey hairs on their temples.

On the other hand, Chen Qingyuan is still the same as before, without any change.

"Brother Chen, why don't you look old?"

Zhu Wulang said this in a joking tone, but the respect in his heart was even stronger.

“Living in seclusion among mountains and rivers naturally makes you look younger.”

Chen Qingyuan replied with a smile.

"This cow looks very energetic. Who knows, I might even walk ahead of it."

Zhu Wulang pointed at the old ox sleeping on the grass and laughed at himself.

It seemed like he was joking, but in fact he was more curious about Chen Qingyuan's origins. The cows he raised were different from ordinary people and were obviously spiritual.

"Young Master is in his prime, and there is still a lot of room for him to grow in the future."

Wei Changqi said quickly.

After staying for half a month, the two left.

Five years later, it was heard that the king of Changjin had abdicated and handed over state affairs to the current crown prince, allowing him to ascend the throne smoothly.

As for the previous monarch, his whereabouts are unknown.

Back in the mountains, Chen Qingyuan is still the same as before, but Zhu Wulang is about to enter his old age.

Now that I have unloaded all my responsibilities, I can finally live a relaxing life.

Zhu Wulang renovated his dilapidated wooden house and drank that night. While he was drunk, he said what had been pent up in his heart for many years: "Brother Chen, you...are not an ordinary person!"

"how you said that?"

Chen Qingyuan was not surprised and looked calm.

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person. After spending time with you many times, I became even more convinced." Zhu Wulang looked up at the night sky, intending to say everything in his heart: "I am very fortunate to have met Brother Chen on my journey of life."

Chen Qingyuan had been drinking and remained silent.

"Sometimes I wonder if the torrential rain that year was caused by Brother Chen, which allowed me to escape and have the opportunity to change my fate."

Looking back on the past, Zhu Wulang was still worried that the people would suffer from floods, but unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Qingyuan said this, the fierce rainstorm suddenly stopped.

It could be said to be a coincidence when we first met, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Brother Chen has never asked me about my origins, so I think he knows it very well!" Zhu Wulang said to himself: "May I ask, brother, are my achievements over the years acceptable?"

After saying this, Zhu Wulang stared at Chen Qingyuan beside him, wanting a response. To be more precise, he wanted recognition.

"Not bad." Feeling the expectation in Zhu Wulang's eyes, Chen Qingyuan gave a pertinent answer.

I can’t say he is very good, but at least he is better than many rulers of dynasties.

"That's good."

At this moment, Zhu Wulang was like a child who had been praised by his elders, with a happy face and a bright smile.

"I'll be leaving soon."

After a while, Chen Qingyuan said softly.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Wulang's body trembled suddenly, and he was particularly surprised. Some reluctance appeared in his eyes: "Where are you going, brother?"

"Walk around." Chen Qingyuan replied.

"still coming back?"

Zhu Wulang asked again.

"Probably not."

Chen Qingyuan's tone was flat.

Hearing this, Zhu Wulang was stunned for a long time, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

Although I really want to keep him, I know I am not qualified.

"The world is vast, I wish Brother Chen a smooth road ahead."

Zhu Wulang made a wish from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you." Chen Qingyuan thanked.

You can tell whether someone is sincere just by listening.

"When exactly are we going to leave?"

Zhu Wulang wanted to get things clear.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Qingyuan pondered.

"How about...stay for another half a year. My eldest grandson is about to be born, and I want to invite you to the banquet."

At this point, Zhu Wulang knew that his identity had been seen through long ago, so he spoke frankly without trying to hide it.

"Okay, I'll go get a drink."

Chen Qingyuan nodded and agreed.

"It is my honor to invite Brother Chen to the banquet."

The invitation was successfully received, Zhu Wulang showed joy and bowed.
