Huang Yuchen looked at the middle-aged man and he had no intention of going in.

In the courtyard, the old man stood with his hands behind his back. Huang Yuchen felt that the figure seemed familiar.

Hearing his eyes on the middle-aged man, the man kept his call and didn't say anything.

Huang Yuchen shook his head. He was a little confused about the current situation. Since the white-clothed scholar controlled himself and did not hurt him, the old man in the courtyard might be the key.

Huang Yuchen paused for a moment, took a step, and walked in.

Stepping into the yard, the middle-aged man closed the door behind him.

Huang Yuchen slowly walked forward and got closer and closer to the old man. He felt that the old man's back was becoming more and more familiar.

"Here, brother." The old man stood with his hands behind his back, not facing Huang Yuchen. He obviously heard Huang Yuchen's footsteps and spoke softly.

When Huang Yuchen heard this voice, he was slightly stunned. Why was he so familiar? Suddenly, he suddenly realized.

"Senior Hou?" Huang Yuchen stared at his eyes, stood not far behind the old man, and said this sentence in a daze.

The old man turned around and looked at Huang Yuchen with a smile on his face. Who else could it be if it were Hou Ce?

At this moment, Hou Ce was like a normal person, no, he looked healthier than a normal person. His skin was white and red, and he didn't look like an old man over 60 years old, but like a young man. If it weren't for his gray beard and the deep wrinkles on his face, standing in front of Huang Yuchen, he would be a young version of Hou Ce.

Since knocking several people away in front of Qingfengzhai Mountain last time, Huang Yuchen did not expect to meet Hou Ce later. He thought Hou Ce had been killed.

"Senior Hou!" Huang Yuchen widened his eyes and looked at Hou Ce in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What?" Hou Ce smiled and said, "I just separated for a few days, and the guy doesn't recognize me anymore?"

"You...you..." Huang Yuchen was stunned on the spot, pointing at Hou Ce, and was extremely shocked. He was a little unable to understand what he was facing at this moment.

Judging from the cultivation and methods of the woman who fought with Hou Ce before, in the end, Hou Ce was not the woman's opponent, and during the battle, the woman did not mean to hold back at all. Why is Hou Ce standing in front of him safely now, and his condition is more than a little better than before.

"What am I? Are I younger than before?" Hou Ce smiled, touched his beard, walked to the side, sat on a stone bench, signaling Huang Yuchen to come over and sit in front of him.

Huang Yuchen walked over blankly, sat down in front of Hou Ce, and carefully checked Hou Ce's face, but no abnormality appeared. The person in front of him was Hou Ce.

"Stop looking, I am just me, and there is still something fake." Seeing Huang Yuchen's shocked look, Hou Ce laughed, picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured Huang Yuchen a cup of tea, and got a cup of it himself, picked it up, and took a sip.

"Senior Hou... what are you..." Huang Yuchen's heart had not calmed down. Seeing Hou Ce's calm expression, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Brother, don't be impatient, drink a little tea first, I'll talk to you slowly." Hou Ce smiled faintly, signaled to Huang Yuchen to drink tea, took another sip, put down the tea cup, and looked at Huang Yuchen quietly.

Huang Yuchen subconsciously picked up the teacup, took a sip of it, and put it into his stomach with a sip of the tea. He felt that his mind was a little clear. Now, he took the time to carefully look at the yard.

This should be an extremely elegant courtyard, with pine and cypress in the courtyard, a small path made of white stones, and they walked along the wooden house in front. The two of them sat on a stone table in the courtyard, with flowers and plants on the side. A fragrance came, and Huang Yuchen felt that he was in peace, and his mind was in chaos, and slowly disappeared.

"After drinking tea, are you more comfortable?" Hou Ce asked softly.

Huang Yuchen placed the teacup on the stone table and nodded slightly. Although he had thousands of questions in his heart, he was not in a hurry to ask.

I don’t know if it’s this environment or the relationship between this tea, but his heart is extremely quiet now, and his previous restlessness has also eased.

"You suddenly came here, don't you have anything to ask me?" Hou Ce smiled slightly and asked.

"Senior will naturally say what he wants to say. It's useless if I don't want to say it." Huang Yuchen picked up the teacup, took another sip, and said, "But I can see you again and know that you are safe and sound. I feel very comforted in my heart."

"You boy, your mouth is sweet." Hou Ce laughed, picked up the kettle and filled Huang Yuchen with water, and said, "Don't you want to know where this place is?"

"If I'm right," Huang Yuchen smiled slightly and said, "This place is so majestic. If it is still in the Cangmang Mountains, this place should be Cangmang City."

"Well, you guessed it well." Hou Ce put down the teacup and said lightly: "But you guessed half of it. This is Cangmang City, but Cangmang Mountain has more than one Cangmang City."

Huang Yuchen was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask. He picked up the teacup, took another sip, and said, "Senior, this tea is good. If there is more, why not give it to you a little."

"Haha, you boy are calm." Hou Ce laughed and said, "This tea is not mine, it was given to me by my elder brother. If I have the chance in the future, I will help you ask for it."

Huang Yuchen's face was silent, but his mind was running. As soon as the eldest brother Hou Ce said it, Huang Yuchen immediately guessed who it was, but did not ask, but said, "I don't know how long I have been in this city, why did the lord of the city kidnapped me."

"You have been sleeping for three days." Hou Ce stroked his beard and said softly: "But I don't know why the city lord brought you here. When I learned that you were in the city, I went to see you immediately, but you were already in a cold air and were unconscious. If that person hadn't shown mercy, I was afraid that you would have no life now."

Huang Yuchen nodded. This was a match for the previous incident. At this moment, he had inexplicably entered Cangmang City. Although he had no idea about everything, his safety could be guaranteed at this moment. If he had been in a coma for three days, then Li Zhong and the others...

"Senior, is there anyone else except me?" Huang Yuchen took a sip of tea, picked up the kettle, poured the water, and asked softly.

"I know you want to ask Li Zhong about it." Hou Ce whispered: "But I haven't heard of Li Zhong. After you came, no one else was brought."

"Then..." Huang Yuchen's heart moved slightly. He was in danger, just to pull out a gap for Li Zhong so that he could escape. If Li Zhong had something to do, then his previous efforts would be in vain.

"I don't know this anymore." Hou Ce said: "If you meet that person in the future, ask yourself."

"What the senior said is the white-clothed essay? Who is this person? He is practicing ice fighting spirit, and there are very few physical constitutions. He can still cultivate this fighting spirit to such a high level and is also well-versed in magic. Such a person has never heard of."

"Haha." Hou Ce looked at Huang Yuchen and chuckled softly: "I don't know who he is. I don't know how he has such a high level of cultivation. This person's name is Ouyang Jianming. He was in Qingfeng Village many years ago and met him."

"Many years ago?" Huang Yuchen felt excited when he heard Hou Ce say this and asked: "Then this person is at least fifty years old. Why do he look like middle-aged, but he is only forty years old?"

"Fifty?" Hou Ce glanced at Huang Yuchen, smiled slightly, and said, "When he met in Qingfeng Village, he was like this, and he was still like this at this moment. This person is probably older than me. How could you judge people by your appearance?"

Huang Yuchen was shocked. This matter was somewhat beyond his understanding. Hou Ce was at least 60 years old, older than him, and younger than him. What kind of magic did he practice to maintain his appearance?

"Don't think about it. This person is cultivating the Ice Fighting Qi. His appearance has not changed for many years. It's normal. But..." Hou Ce looked at Huang Yuchen meaningfully and said, "If you really ask him, he is afraid he won't tell you anything."

"Why is this?"

"I can't explain clearly. If you meet, you will know it once you ask." Hou Ce chuckled and said, "You boy didn't ask anything when you see me, and looked like you were in a vulgar heart. Why did you get confused when you talk about Li Zhong?"

Huang Yuchen sighed slightly and said, "Brother Zhao's last wish at the end of his life, let me take care of Li Zhong. If he makes any mistakes, I..."

"You are still in danger, so how can you care about him?" Hou Ce glared at Huang Yuchen and said, "You have done your best to take risks and let him escape. Not everything is possible."

"Okay, Senior Hou." Huang Yuchen didn't want to talk about this anymore. He picked up the kettle and poured tea for Hou Ce, and whispered: "Stop talking about this, just tell me about the matter of this vast city."

"Hehe." Hou Ce glanced at Huang Yuchen, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Where should Cangmang City start?"

"We used to think that Cangmang City was just a city. But recently I realized that Cangmang City was a country." Hou Ce said lightly.

"Nation?" Huang Yuchen was shocked. Why is there another country in this vast mountain?

"Yes, a country." Hou Ce nodded slightly and said, "That's right. This vast mountain is so vast, with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles. Do you think there are only a few villages here? We were all frogs in the well before, but now, I understand my elder brother's idea."

"Cangmang City is actually a country... Then, the soldiers confronting us are..."

"Of course they are the soldiers of this vast country." Hou Ce said lightly.

"Then... the one who destroyed Qingfeng Village." Huang Yuchen's eyes moved slightly and said, "Is it this vast country?"

"This matter is a bit complicated." Hou Ce said lightly: "But it is not impossible for you to understand it like this. Qingfeng Village is now in Cangmang Country."
