She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Therefore, some families who were not ambitious and wanted to follow the clan to reap the benefits naturally became dissatisfied with Lian Chengmo's rule.

They thought Lian Chengxu was easier to talk to, and since he was the deputy city lord, they encouraged him to usurp the throne.

However, Lian Chengxu was not stupid. His cousin had so many Mo family soldiers stationed in the city, and no one in the clan held an official position in the Mo family army. If he wanted to seize power, the Lian family could be wiped out in an instant.

However, even without the Mo family army, Lian Chengxu would not have taken this position. He could see clearly that his cousin was more capable than him, and the family could only regain its glory in his cousin's hands.

Moreover, the Yan family has not yet officially taken over the position and has tacitly allowed Li County to be the private territory of the Liancheng family. However, if the Yan family officially takes over the position and the person in charge of the Liancheng family changes, the other party may not necessarily give them this face.

Having learned a lesson from Yunzhou, Lian Chengxu hoped that the Liancheng family could have its own territory.

Otherwise, even if half of Yunzhou belongs to the Liancheng family, what's the point? A single King Cheng can suppress their entire clan to the point of groveling.

However, as soon as Lian Chengxu asked the question, he saw Lian Chengmo shake his head.

"Lian Cheng Haoxuan got away, but he probably won't have a good life afterward. It's a long story. If I see him again someday and he's still alive, I'll still use him to worship my parents."

Lian Chengmo's tone was indifferent, and one couldn't detect much other emotion in his voice.

"Alright then, we can talk about other things later. If you want to go back and rest, Ayu and Shuang'er are waiting for you at the inner city gate," Lian Chengxu said considerately.

In fact, Lian Chengxu didn't need to guess to know that Lian Chengmo's trip must have been very dangerous. Otherwise, how could he have mobilized Miss Qi and her apprentice, along with two thousand Mo family soldiers, even though he had made ample preparations?

Fortunately, his cousin came back, so he could finally relax.

Lian Chengmo had no intention of standing there exchanging pleasantries with his cousin. Upon hearing this, he led his men into the city. Having been away for so long, he was sure his younger siblings were worried, and he was eager to return home.

Meanwhile, Lian Chengxu, who was lagging behind, looked back at where Lian Chengmo had come from, a look of worry flashing across his face.

The return journey was swift. Lian Chengmo ordered Li Dalang to lead the Mo family army back to their ranks, while he himself took Lin Shu back to the inner city.

Upon arriving at the inner city gate, I indeed saw several small figures standing at the front, craning their necks in anticipation.

Upon seeing that it was Ayu and Xiaoshuang'er, Lian Chengmo quickly ran over, and the two children rushed straight towards him.

"Big brother, you're finally back!" Lian Chengyu said excitedly.

"Big brother, Shuang'er misses you so much." Lian Cheng Shuang hugged Lian Cheng Mo's leg and tried to climb onto him.

After the two children were taken out, they lived in his yard. Back then, they could see their older brother every day, but suddenly they couldn't see him anymore, and this continued for so many days. How could they not be afraid and miss their brother?

"Big brother is back, Ayu Shuang'er, don't be afraid." Lian Chengmo quickly picked up his sister, then gently patted his brother's head, a rare smile on his face as he comforted her.

But before he could finish his tender moment with his younger siblings, two more little boys ran over: Changshan and Juanbai.

"Brother Mo, where is my eldest sister?" Changshan asked anxiously.

“Yeah, yeah, didn’t my older sister go to see you? Why didn’t she come back with you?” Juanbai chimed in.

Following behind the two children were Yan Lin and his wife, who also looked over with concern and worry.

"Don't worry, something happened to me when I went out. I ended up at my sect. Master, Banxia, ​​and my senior brother are all staying at the sect to handle the aftermath, so they probably won't be back for a while."

Unlike when he was facing Lian Chengxu, Lian Chengmo directly told the Qi brothers, Yan Lin and his wife, where Banxia and the others had gone.

"It's good that you're alright." Yan Lin looked at the young boy in front of him and said with a serious expression.

But you could tell he was relieved.

Yan Lin realized that if something serious hadn't happened, Banxia and her master wouldn't have left one after another; it turned out it was related to their sect.

Thinking of the tragedy that occurred in the Valley of Divine Physicians back then, Yan Lin, although not knowing the specifics of what happened, could understand it.

"It's good that you're safe and sound. Young Master Liancheng must be very tired from traveling outside. Why don't you go back and rest for a while? I already told the kitchen to prepare a meal before you came out," Madam Lu said hurriedly.

"Then thank you very much, Madam Yan." Lian Chengmo put down his sister, bowed to Madam Lu, and said.

The group continued towards the inner city. Lian Chengmo's two younger siblings naturally clung to his side, especially Xiao Shuang'er, who held her brother's hand and chattered incessantly, sharing the interesting things that had happened recently with her brother. Lian Chengyu would occasionally add a comment from the side.

The Qi brothers, being looked after by Xiao Hua, sat obediently in a corner of the carriage, watching the three siblings with envy.

If their eldest sister were back, they could share so many happy things with her.

However, the two brothers were not discouraged and planned to remember all the interesting things so that they could tell their older sister about them when she came back.

After entering the inner city, Lian Chengxu stopped following and instead turned around and returned to the county government office.

My cousin has been away for a while, and a lot of things have piled up. I'll show them to him once he's rested. I'll take this opportunity to sort things out, especially regarding the greenhouse...

Inside the Valley of Divine Healers, the dilapidated houses have been almost completely repaired, and the three masters and disciples began to work on posting notices. With the help of the Mo family army, the three masters and disciples did not need to do this themselves.

After the post was sent away, Murong Fu called Banxia and Mu Rongyi, the two senior and junior siblings, over and said that he had something to discuss.

"Master, what did you call us here for?" Banxia asked curiously.

"Didn't I say before that your uncle's leg could be treated, but the medicinal herbs were hard to find?"

"Those two hard-to-find medicinal herbs are in Divine Doctor Valley," Murong Fu said, pointing in a direction before leading the two people there.

Banxia and her brother followed obediently behind, though Banxia was secretly thrilled.

If all the medicinal herbs are found, doesn't that mean my second uncle can cure his leg?

If my second uncle can heal his leg, whether he goes back to the capital or to the northern frontier, he will be a great help to my grandfather.

With this thought, Banxia immediately felt hopeful, and her steps became much lighter.

However, Banxia did not expect that her master would lead them to the courtyard where her grandmaster lived.

Since returning to the Valley of Divine Healers, except for the first day, Master has never dared to come here.

Banxia cautiously stole a glance at her master and senior brother, and sure enough, both of them had tears in their eyes.

Sigh, she's really not good at comforting people.

Fortunately, the two quickly composed themselves and did not seek comfort from Banxia.

Murong Fu took a deep breath and pushed open the gate to the former Valley Master's courtyard.

As the Valley Master, the most prestigious person in the Valley of Divine Healers, the former Valley Master's courtyard was built much better than the others, so even after several years, there were few places that needed repair.

So Murong Fu and Murong Rong walked in, and all they could see were memories.
