chapter 17 Go out to the temple

by Raven 19:15,Nov 23,2023


It was another sunny morning, with no clouds in the blue sky. Under the sky, Nandu City looked busy.

Many people gathered at the gate of the city. In front of the notice board, a scholar-looking man was reading the notice with his head bobbed. There were many people dressed as civilians around him, and there was a constant buzz of discussion.

"We're recruiting soldiers. Haven't you heard that we're going to fight again?"

"You don't understand. This is called preparing an army for war. If we wait until the actual war begins and recruit soldiers, it will be eight lifetimes too late."

"So that's how it is. You are prepared for anything. This soldier can be a soldier. You can eat and live for free, and you still have money. You don't have to go to the battlefield. I will go back and ask my son to sign up."

"Tsk, the Ye family's army is very strict in running the army. The military laws are very strict. Even if you don't go to the battlefield, the training will be enough for you."

"Then let them serve as soldiers. Ma Laoer next door has a son who is a member of the Ye family army. Let's see what he can do, huh."

Just as he was talking, the sound of horse bells came from the distance. Looking up, he saw a rider with a big word "驷" embroidered on his clothes, riding a yellow gelding horse and rushing towards him. The horses kicked back and forth, splashing out a line of flying loess.

The horse was galloping, the wind was calming, but the rider still seemed to be slow. He raised his whip and threw a loud whip in the air.

The crisp sound of the whip made the yellow gelding hiss and rush towards the city gate even harder.

"Andu urgent official document!" The knight roared from a distance, frightening the people who were blocking the door and wanting to enter the city. They quickly retreated, and even the guards guarding the gate quickly made way for a passage.

"Hey!" the yellow gelding neighed, and in the blink of an eye it had passed through the city gate, bringing up a strong wind full of loess. It was so fast that passers-by could not even see the rider's face clearly, leaving him walking further and further away. The crisp sound of horse hooves

Ye Mansion Flower Hall.

Rafa Kelly sat calmly in the middle of the lobby, lowering his head to sip the fragrant tea, a small celadon tea bowl, and a small bud before the rain. After drinking it in one sip, the refreshing fragrance rose up.

"Good tea."Rafa Kelly put down the tea bowl and sighed, "A cup of clear tea and two ounces of turbid wine. How long can this comfortable life last?"

Just as he was sighing, an old servant in Tsing Yi rushed in in the turmoil outside, it was the housekeeper Piero Kelly.

"General, there is an urgent message from Andu outside."

"Please come in quickly."Rafa Kelly expression condensed, but his brows wrinkled again.

After a while, the rider covered in dust strode in. When he saw Rafa Kelly, he immediately knelt down on one knee, held up a wax-sealed paper bag, and said loudly, "See the urgent letter from Zhennan General Andu officer Cary."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."Rafa Kelly took a sip of tea, then stood up and took the letter, signaling the rider to get up and speak.

"Does officer Cary have a message asking you to take me?"Rafa Kelly asked again without opening the letter.

"No, Zhennan General." The rider knelt down on one knee and reported back.

"Oh."Rafa Kelly showed no reaction and raised his hand to signal Piero Kelly to take people down to receive the reward and send him away.

After Piero Kelly left with the messenger, Rafa Kelly walked back to the study, opened the letter, read it with narrowed eyes, snorted coldly, and walked back and forth in the study for dozens of times with his hands behind his back.

Then Rafa Kelly majestic voice sounded in the study, "Piero Kelly quickly go and prepare. I will set off to Andu in the afternoon, and I will also call a sergeant from the Ye family."

"Yes, I'll do it now." Although Piero Kelly felt that Rafa Kelly went to the capital in a bit of a hurry this time, as an old housekeeper, he still knew the rules. If the master doesn't want you to know, don't ask.

However, it was still appropriate to inform the Lupita. After a while, the Lupita hurried to the study room. Rafa Kelly was handing a volume of letters to the Ye family soldiers.

"Call Lander Kelly and ask him to collect it personally."Rafa Kelly said.

"Yes." The soldier put the letter away, turned around and walked out of the study quickly.

The Lupita hurried up and asked, "General, why are you leaving in such a hurry this time? Could it be that something happened in the capital?"

Rafa Kelly smiled and said, "Don't worry, His Majesty reprimanded me twice in succession at the court meeting to stand still and allow the savage nationality to develop."

The Lupita, who also came from a family of officials, muttered, "Why didn't your Majesty issue an edict for you to suppress the barbarians, but instead scolded you in the court?"

Rafa Kelly sneered, "He wants to make his position clear to all civil and military officials."

"Then just send troops to destroy that Khan."

Rafa Kelly smiled calmly, "The day the savage nationality were wiped out was the day my Ye family began to fall apart."

The Lupita was surprised and asked again, "Then you are not throwing yourself into a trap this time when you go to Nanjing?"

Rafa Kelly smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as the savage nationality are not destroyed, my Ye family will be safe and sound. This time I just want the emperor to rest assured about me. I will bring more gold and silver and take care of it. Everything will be fine."

After Rafa Kelly finished speaking, he then ordered, "In order to reassure the emperor, I may stay for a few more days and leave the house to you. Don't cause trouble outside at ordinary times. You must also have a good relationship with your housemates at home. You strive for I fight so hard that outsiders laugh at me."

"I understand."The Lupita bent her legs slightly and bowed. This action showed her still round and elastic buttocks. Although the Lupita was not young, she took good care of herself. Rafa Kelly couldn't help but He reached out and pinched a handful.

"The general is about to go on the road, and he wants to cause trouble. Hey, we are an old couple. What's there to touch? The more we talk about it, the more we go too far. We can't touch the front, okay."The Lupita said she was unhappy, but she was happy in her heart. I am no better than those little ones. If you are not good at scratching your hoof, you can still seduce the general. Wait until the general leaves and see how I will punish you. There is also that ugly woman, I will remember it.

Rafa Kelly didn't mess around for a long time, because the other rooms also got the news, and his sons and daughters also came to say goodbye. There were more people, so Rafa Kelly returned to the flower hall to say goodbye to everyone.

When the husband and wife parted, many young ladies were jealous and shed tears, which made the Lupita very angry: "Lang Hoozi, you put on a good show, and when Rafa Kelly leaves, I will let you know how powerful I am."

Of course Rafa Kelly didn't know, he was still comforting the concubines who had just moved in, and then he was giving instructions to his sons. It seemed that the hall was full of loving fathers and filial sons.

No one mentioned that there is a young master in the Ye family who has been thinking about it for more than a year. Maybe everyone has forgotten that the fool and the ugly woman were in the forgotten corner. What's more, for more than a year, the fool has been silent at all. Disappeared.

Of course, there are people who remember it, such as the Lupita or Piero Kelly, but they will remind Rafa Kelly of course not. They wish that Adonis Kelly had better face the wall for the rest of his life and die in the ancestral hall, so as not to be upset if he sees it.

At noon, in the inner courtyard of the Ye family, a figure wearing a gray coat was walking quickly. The old man was old, but he walked very fast, making people worry that he might fall at any time.

This is Mr. Levon Garcia from the academy. He only heard that Rafa Kelly was going to Beijing during lunch, so he put down his half-eaten meal and ran out in a hurry.

"The general has already gone out and just left."

"Oh."Levon Garcia calves softened, and he turned around and ran out the door again.

"Sir, are you busy? Please wait a minute." A maid shouted twice and wondered, "Mr. Zhang always scolds others for standing and sitting, so why is he so disgraceful today?"

"General, stay behind."Levon Garcia looked very unsightly when he ran. Originally, he was a little rickety, and he didn't run often, so his legs were still half-bent when he ran.

But the situation was urgent and he couldn't care less about being polite. He couldn't watch Adonis Kelly be imprisoned for another year.

Fortunately, he caught up. Rafa Kelly had just mounted his horse and was waving to the farewell crowd when he saw Levon Garcia rushing out of the crowd and lying on the last carriage, panting.

"Sir, why are you so anxious?"Rafa Kelly quickly dismounted and came over to support Levon Garcia.

"General, you have forgotten something. The childe Adonis is still in the ancestral hall. It has been more than a year now."

Rafa Kelly was shocked when he heard this. Yes, he also has an eighth son. Ever since he failed to become a disciple, he had actually forgotten that he had an eighth son and was thinking about it while facing the wall.

It has been more than a year in the blink of an eye. In the past, the longest punishment was to reflect on one's ancestors for a month, but Adonis Kelly has been staying there for more than a year. Oh my god, it was cold and scary there, and there were no beds. Yet he was here Stayed there for a year

"Oh, I have neglected my duty as a father."Rafa Kelly couldn't help but sigh, and then said to Levon Garcia, "Sir, let him come out. I don't have time to say goodbye to him. Let him get into less trouble and study more. Don't It’s time to fight with the brothers, Mr. All You Have to Do.”

In the afternoon, an energetic young man walked out of the Ye Family Ancestral Hall. He was much taller than a year ago. What was different from when he walked in was his look, movements, and confidence.

After a year of practice, a lot of spiritual energy has condensed in his sea of ​​energy. Those spiritual energy are like a seven-colored cloud. His body cannot be seen from the outside, but in fact, his thoughts, muscles, and bones They are all nourished by spiritual energy far beyond ordinary people.

His eyesight is clear and his eyesight is excellent. His movements are agile and his reactions are very fast. Even his memory has been enhanced a lot. The words and poems of Cangnan mainland can no longer stump him. As for his military force, he has been greatly improved. Even if He has never practiced martial arts, but centurion Cassius Angus is no longer his opponent.

"childe Adonis, don't come in again." After getting along for a year, Adonis Kelly, Cassius Angus and the other soldiers also had a good relationship.

Adonis Kelly smiled and said, "Look what you said, I can come in to the Ye Family Ancestral Hall whenever I want. It's not a prison."

Cassius Angus realized that he had made a mistake, and smiled sheepishly, "Haha, I mean don't come in and reflect on your ancestors again."

Adonis Kelly patted him and smiled, "Actually, I hope to stay here for a long time and not leave."

In fact, Adonis Kelly's words are still true. Since he started practicing, he has gone back less often. No one will bother him when he stays here. Apart from eating, he is practicing. It is the best place to practice.

However, there is another reason why Adonis Kelly has never wanted to go out, and that is that the Five Elements Immortality Sutra is still with him. If Rafa Kelly comes to the ancestral hall to check the treasure book, he will have the opportunity to put the book back in advance.

But now, he doesn't have to worry. Rafa Kelly will not be back for a short time, so he can take the treasure book out safely.

There is another reason why he left the ancestral hall, that is, his spiritual consciousness is enough to open the Encyclopedia of spells in the spiritual altar.

This is great news for Adonis Kelly. He now has a cultivation method. If it is equipped with various powerful spells, he will not have to worry about anything when he meets an immortal cultivator.

"Old Liu, please don't give it away. I will come back to play when I have time."Adonis Kelly now calls Cassius Angus much more casually.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and drink."

Adonis Kelly nodded, swung his big arms and staggered towards his small courtyard, humming, "I am the most swaying, no one is more handsome than me":
