"You mentioned earlier that Li Erniu encountered He Er Gou in the Cloud Mist Forest. Since he is from Qi Zhou, which is quite a distance from the Cloud Mist Forest, this..." Yan Qian furrowed his brow.
"This is precisely what I find puzzling. Furthermore, it is said that the Reverse Rolling Stone, used for training the younger generation in Kao Shu Village, was taught to them by He Er Gou. Additionally, he even kidnapped a young master from the Wang family in Moro City. That young master has already reached the Qi Binding Realm and was subdued without even having a chance to retaliate. The five Wang Xiong guards who accompanied him couldn’t even manage to put up a fight against one person..." Cheng Shi relayed the information he had gathered to Yan Qian, who grew increasingly concerned as he listened.
"Then it seems this young man is quite remarkable, well-versed in military strategy. Even I, a descendant of a military family, feel inferior compared to him after these days. He can compose poetry and has such solid skills; it's impressive. I wonder who his master is and what kind of teacher could produce such a disciple..." Yan Qian could only conclude that Mo Wen must have an enigmatic master.
"Oh, regarding He Er Gou's master, I did hear something from Li Erniu. According to He Er Gou, his master is a highly skilled physician." Cheng Shi suddenly recalled the information he had received from Li Erniu when Yan Qian mentioned Mo Wen's master.
"A physician? Do you believe that? According to Jian Ren, this young man inquired about the Neural Pavilion not long ago. The Old Man personally approached Mr. Bao, but Mr. Bao remained tight-lipped under the pretext of confidentiality." At this point, Yan Qian felt a bit frustrated; he had known Mr. Bao for many years and usually found it easy to gather information from him. Yet this time, all he learned was that a young man had indeed visited, and he had to trade a jar of his long-preserved fine wine for that tidbit of information. "Forget it; we won't discuss this matter further. As long as he can assist the Jin Family, that's enough. The Old Man will take care of everything. How is your Tenth Battalion prepared?" The reason Yan Qian had Cheng Shi investigate Mo Wen wasn't due to distrust but rather because he found Mo Wen too peculiar and feared inadvertently provoking someone powerful behind him. However, for Yan Qian at this moment, the most pressing issue was dealing with the enemies entering Yinzhou.
"Everything is ready..."
Mo Wen and Li Erniu were enjoying their meal in the courtyard. The secluded location of their residence had its advantages—peaceful and quiet—especially since members of the Jin Family rarely visited this place during peacetime, let alone now when everyone was busy preparing for battle, except for one individual.
"Is Big Dog Head around?" Before Mo Wen could speak, someone pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
"Whoa! What’s that smell? Brother He, Big Dog Head, are you concocting pills?" Yin Jianren exclaimed while sniffing the air as he entered.
"Enough with the pretense; are you here to congratulate me on becoming Big Dog Head?" Mo Wen remained seated in front of the stove, watching Yin Jianren enter. Li Erniu was about to stand up to pay his respects but was pulled back by Mo Wen. Although Yin Jianren was a young master of the Jin Family, Mo Wen had learned that during this time, the Jin Family's style didn’t require formalities; what mattered most was that if you gave this brat an inch, he would take a mile.
"Of course! Since Brother Li is here too, I brought a jar of fine wine today to celebrate your ascension as Big Dog Head and to express my gratitude for Brother Li bringing people to assist our Jin Family in forging weapons." Yin Jianren was quite self-aware and pulled up a chair to sit down.
