Manager Lu quickly warned: "It's okay to eat it, but your body has been hollowed out now. If you eat it suddenly, you may have some severe reactions, such as dizziness, drowsiness, etc. This depends on the person.
They vary, and even I can’t explain them all clearly.”
Lu Jiang felt itchy and couldn't bear it, and waved his hands repeatedly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I naturally know."
Manager Lu nodded and said: "To be honest, this elixir is made from the cleanest and purest yin and yang in the world. It is extremely precious."
Lu Jiang hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, Manager Lu, what is this elixir made of?"
"This elixir is refined by collecting the first-time geraniums of seventy-seven and forty-nine girls, plus several other medicines assisted by monarchs and ministers. If you continue to refine it, I'm afraid it will be very valuable..."
p>
Lu Jiang nodded. He thought it was a rare thing like dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Although it was difficult for this girl to collect geraniums for the first time, it was not impossible for a rich man like him. It was not just about spending money.
Well, he has plenty of money.
Recalling that Steward Lu had just said that he would teach him the power of yin and yang cultivation, he asked again: "Steward Lu, can you give me some advice on the tonic methods you mentioned just now?"
Recently, because Lou Qingyi has been getting angry every day, he has taken in a new concubine. The two of them are inseparable, and they can't wait to practice it with the concubine immediately.
Manager Lu readily agreed and immediately taught Lu Jiang several methods of collecting tonic. Lu Jiang nodded as he listened. This was the first time in his life that he had heard that there were many ways to collect tonic. He laughed obscenely from time to time.
The sound, the laughter is unbearable...
At the end, Lu Jiang rolled up his sleeves excitedly and said loudly: "Manager Lu, I have kept your kindness in mind. Hehe, you will give me more guidance in the future. From now on, when you arrive in Ziling County, you will feel like you are at home.
."
Manager Lu exchanged a few words.
Lu Jiang then carefully poured out the elixir and swallowed it with the tea.
Manager Lu stood up and said, "Mr. Lu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lu Jiang hurriedly got up to see him off.
After Manager Lu turned around, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
Lou Qingyi heard the footsteps gradually disappearing, and then the almost crazy voice of Mr. Lu: "Wonderful, it really is a panacea, hahaha, wonderful..."
In the empty and silent hall, only Lu Jiang's words were heard banging around, from the dark corridor, to the pillars, to the tents, to the painted walls. The lingering sound was high and low, sometimes loud and sometimes weak, and finally broke into pieces.
Falling, melting into the thick and oppressive silence of this secret room.
……
It was already sunset when Chen Chang and Wang Huan returned to the county government office from the carriage house.
Lord Chu, the county lord, had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Oh, you two gentlemen, this county has had a hard time waiting!"
Chen Chang glanced at him, why did this county-level cadre act like a resentful woman waiting for her husband to come home? Could it be that this guy also has that kind of habit?
Magistrate Chu explained: "Two young gentlemen, when you arrive in this county, you are free to take care of them. You two have been running around for a day and it has been very hard. This county specially prepared a house in Zhiweiju.
Let’s have a banquet and invite two young gentlemen to show their respect?”
Wang Huan said with a face: "County Magistrate Chu, we..." She originally meant to refuse Magistrate Chu's invitation. Now that Lou Qingyi's trace is unknown, how can she be in the mood for a banquet?
Chen Chang took a step forward and stood in front of Wang Huan, but said: "Oh, the county magistrate is so polite. If we don't realize the county magistrate's good intentions, wouldn't it be too unkind... ugh...
”
But Wang Huan pinched her lower back hard.
Chen Chang complained to Magistrate Chu, pulled Wang Huan aside, and whispered: "I am afraid that Magistrate Chu asked us to go to the Hongmen Banquet."
Wang Huan said angrily: "Since you know, you still go!"
Chen Chang said: "Didn't you realize that although Magistrate Chu was very cooperative in this case, he seemed to have an unspeakable secret."
Wang Huan frowned: "Is there any?"
"Of course. In Ziling County, we only saw the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief registrar, but never the county captain. Don't you find it strange?"
The county magistrate is the chief, responsible for coordinating the government affairs of the county; the county magistrate is the deputy chief, assisting the county magistrate in administration; the chief registrar is the inspector, responsible for checking documents and supervising county administration; and the person specifically responsible for executing the affairs is the county captain, the county magistrate.
One of the most important responsibilities of a lieutenant is to take charge of security and catching thieves.
The county captain did not appear, but the county magistrate Chu did not mention this person, which is indeed a bit strange.
"What do you mean?"
Chen sang: "It's better to wait and see what happens!"
Wang Huan said: "You mean to go to the banquet?"
Chen Chang nodded: "Why not go?"
You don’t even need to issue an invoice to eat and drink with public funds, it’s nothing if you don’t use it!
Wang Huan bit her lip: "Don't forget about business!"
Chen Chang chuckled: "Well, of course. Your guards are watching over there in the prison. We also have Brother Ma, Zi Ling, Uncle Zhong and others with other guards in the county government office. What else do you have?
Are you reassured?"
"Tonight is very critical, just in case..." Wang Huan glanced at County Magistrate Chu.
"Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with County Magistrate Chu."
Seeing that Chen Chang was speaking seriously, Wang Huan asked, "How do you know?"
Chen sang: "We'll talk about this later, don't make people wait impatiently."
As he spoke, he pulled Wang Huan's sleeve and walked towards Magistrate Chu.
Wang Huan frowned and waved her arms, but her little daughter's posture was fully displayed.
This scene was seen by County Magistrate Chu. What was the background of Chen Langjun? The dignified Miss Wang seemed to obey his words.
After hearing Chen Chang's promise, County Magistrate Chu laughed heartily. He established a good relationship with Wang Huan and climbed up a big tree like a vine. In the future, he would be in the officialdom. He was in a very good mood and said loudly: "Let's go.
The county has ordered people to prepare vehicles."
……
Deyue Tower is a large-scale restaurant and inn in Ziling County. It is located in the most prosperous market in the county. Next to the street is a three-story restaurant, which is magnificent. The county wall is three feet high. Standing on the top of Deyue Tower
Upstairs, you can have a sweeping view of the mountains and rivers outside the city, which shows how tall and majestic this building is.
Going back is a three-entry courtyard, which is used as an inn and guest room. The entire building of the restaurant spans two streets, and the backyard door opens directly on the other street. Although it is a back door, it is like the door of other wealthy families.
On the wall, two lions sit, which is quite majestic.
Among Ziling County, Deyuelou is a grand place with great style, delicious food, and reasonable prices. There is a constant flow of diners. When business is booming, the seats are almost full, and there are many people waiting for a seat.
Tonight, as soon as it was time to turn on the lights, diners arrived one after another. The waiters on the first and second floors were very busy.
The shopkeeper of Deyuelou, whose surname is Qin, is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was originally a scholar. However, when the Liang Dynasty fell apart due to the Hou Jingzhi Rebellion, he lost interest in being an official and inherited his father's business.
This is the Moon Tower.
Diners walked into the restaurant one after another, most of them were regular customers, and they frequently saluted Shopkeeper Qin's crossed hands.
Someone said: "Shopkeeper Qin, business is booming, business is booming."
Another person said: "Needless to say, judging from today's battle, the three floors must be full. Shopkeeper Qin's business is really enviable!"
Regular customers came in and said compliments. Shopkeeper Qin greeted them with a smile, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and asked the waiter to serve them carefully.
After returning to the counter, I looked out at the street, the smile on my face gradually disappeared, and I sighed heavily.
Today's business is good, but the first and second floors are on the first and second floors, and the third floor is still empty. The third floor is high-end, with a total of six private rooms separated by screens. If the screens are removed, it can accommodate a hundred people for a banquet.<
/p>
Someone rented out an entire floor, and the price was 30% more than usual, but they only occupied a private room.
For this reason, shopkeeper Qin always feels a little panicked...
