?
The young man was indignant for a while, sighed for a while, and looked at Cheng Shi and others again. He thought that no matter what, he couldn't let his mother scold him in front of so many people, which would be too embarrassing. Therefore, this matter of running away from home had to end here.
The young man returned home with no choice, and Xiao Mo looked at Ah Yin beside him, whose face was flushed with joy in her eyes. He got up and said in a low voice, "Let's go back."
"What? Okay, okay."
Xiao Mo and his group returned to the wine tower where they had stayed for over a dozen days, less than an hour later, Ah Shi, who was ordered to gather information, arrived.
He walked up to Xiao Mo with big strides and said in a low voice: "Lang Zhu, I've already investigated the matter of Gao's young master."
"Oh?" Xiao Mo smiled slightly, "Alright." Among the guards under his command, A Shi was known for his exceptional memory, being meticulous and good at collecting and analyzing data. He had been in charge of intelligence gathering back when they were still in Ye City's Shangshu Mansion.
With Xiao Mo's permission, Ah Shi cleared his throat, stood up straight and replied in a dignified manner: "I am Gao Jiaxiao Lang Jun, surname Gao, nickname Ah Shi. I was born on June 3rd, 565 AD. Ah Shi has a beautiful appearance, elegant demeanor, and an air of refinement that surpasses even the young masters of the Wang and Xie families." Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo's eyebrows furrowed in thought: Elegant demeanor? Air of refinement? The Ah Shi he saw on the street earlier was just a mischievous youngster, how could he have such a noble bearing?
At his puzzled expression, Ah Shi continued to recite, "From a young age, he was intelligent beyond his peers. At the age of four, he learned chess and defeated his mother within a year. At eight years old, he became an apprentice under the famous recluse Yuanzi Wen in the south. At nine years old, he successfully created a disguise potion that could confuse male and female, and invert beauty and ugliness. Yuanzi Wen once said, 'This child was born intelligent, and is well-versed in astronomy. He may become the ancestor of future generations.'"
Arriving here, Ah Shi saw that Lang Jun was still listening attentively, so he continued to recite: "Two years ago, Ah Suo observed the celestial phenomena at night and predicted that after Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou pacified the land of Qi, he would surely think of launching a northern campaign against the Turks. Unfortunately, heaven did not permit it, and he fell ill before setting out and died!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo sprang to his feet, staring at Ah Shi in astonishment, hardly daring to believe that such a person existed. With just one glance at the celestial phenomena, he could grasp the grand affairs of the world? Before Yuwen Yong had even set out on his campaign, a fifteen-year-old youth had already guessed his death?
Truly formidable!
At this time, Ah Shi continued to recite, "Then, Ah Ji led hundreds of close guards and went far away to the border town. Hundreds of people took advantage of the Turkic tribes facing strong enemies and being flustered, and plundered various tribes, and seized thousands of fine horses. Before the news of Yuwen Yang's death came out, he had already made a great achievement and retreated. Now, Ah Ji has opened up a large pasture in a secret place in the land of Qi, and is raising wild horses on a large scale, cultivating livestock, and its scale is so grand that it has become a country."
Xiao Mo took a deep breath.
"Ashi continued to say, 'In Jinyang, Ahui observed the geography during the day and the celestial phenomena at night. He exclaimed that his father, Gao Changgong, had long since passed away, but someone had altered the heavenly mechanism. Unfortunately, that person's methods were not clever, and it was easy to give rise to future troubles. Therefore, he spread rumors in Jinyang's Ye city, saying that Gao Changgong did not suddenly flee on that day, but was poisoned by Qi Houzhu Gao Wei. He spent a huge amount of money to build a tomb and erect a monument for his father. It is said that on the day the monument was erected, tens of thousands of Qi people cried out in grief at the same time, and the sky and earth lost their color.'"
With one breath, he recited up to this point and Ah Shi looked at Xiao Mo, smiling: "The young master doesn't know, but this young man from the Gao family is actually a bold and reckless person. He said that his own destiny was exhausted, and it would be easy to invite disaster by taking on the name of the Gao family and walking out into the world. In the north, he even changed his own name to Yuan Tianpeng."
"Yuan Tiangui? Yuan Tiangui?" Xiao Molian repeated several times, but didn't know what profound meaning this name held. He raised his head and asked: "This name?"
A'shi shook his head, "The young master of the Gao family is unpredictable in his actions, and no one knows what he has in mind."
"Oh." Xiao Mo nodded. At this time, his shoulder felt warm, and it was Ah Yin who had listened to the uninteresting conversation and unknowingly fallen asleep leaning against him.
Xiao Mo turned his head back, staring blankly at Ah Yin's beautiful face as she slept, thinking about what she had said earlier in the wine tower.
Since that dream about his past life and knowing the fate between him and Zhang Qi, he has been in self-exile. Through all these years of wind and rain, his heart has become like iron.
He let out a soft sigh, Xiao Mo gently turned his body, then bent down and wrapped his arms around A Yin, placing her on the bed.
After putting A Yin to bed, Xiao Mo looked at her sleeping face and slowly shook his head.
His Ai Qi is now living a good life, Gao Chang Gong treasures her like a precious gem, and their children are extremely intelligent, it seems that she is carefree at this moment.
Maybe he should let go, and he will force himself to let go.Maybe he appears in front of them with A Yin, and they will be delighted too?
