Chapter 296
Afu, who was carrying a bowl of tremella porridge, happened to come in from outside.
"Madam, you're awake, you're almost drinking the porridge!"
Jiang Xi rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed. He obviously felt that his body was much heavier than before he fell asleep. After drinking the Tremella porridge made by Afu, he became energetic.
Afu smiled and said, "Mr. Lou Chen's decoction is really effective. It can be cured with just one dose of medicine!"
Only then did Jiang Xi be reminded to remember: "Where is Mr. Lou Chen?"
"She has something urgent to go out with Mr. Song Xu."
Jiang Xi asked what was going on, but Ah Fu was confused and said that they were leaving in a hurry.
"Leaving in a hurry..." Jiang Xi pondered and thought, unable to help but worry that something big happened to make Song Xulou Chen and the others move together.
She got up and changed her clothes, walked to the yard, and the cool moonlight poured down. Jiang Xi looked at the moonlight in the sky but lost her sleepiness.
She planned to see how Ji Xing was. Before she could step into that room, she heard someone knocking on the door.
The night was getting darker, and the sudden knock on the door was inexplicably strange.
Jiang Xi walked to the door, held his breath without making any sound, but observed the movement outside through the door.
"Strange, isn't anyone here..." A puzzled murmur came in through the door panel. Who could it be if it weren't for Qiwu? "It was agreed to find Jiulang to drink, and I have a rare time..."
Jiang Xi suddenly felt relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing at himself for thinking a little too much.
She used her eyes to instruct Afu to go back to the next door before opening the door.
"I heard you mumbling through the door." Jiang Xi looked at Qi Wu outside the door with a smile.
"Jiulang!" Qiwu happily lifted the wine and meat in both hands, "I'm here to drink with you!"
"It's midnight?"
"You also know that I am becoming more and more respected recently and I am getting busier and busier. Hehe, I have a rare time to come to you today!"
Jiang Xi also knows a little about Qi Wu's recent situation. Part of Ye Zheng is for Jiang Xi's sake, and part of it is to attach importance to Qi Wu's own ability. He intends to keep Qi Wu by his side to temper it. Maybe it will take a long time to give Qi Wu a real official body!
When Qi Wu told Jiang Xi about this, she was still mocking himself as he was getting farther and farther away from his dream of heroes.
But Jiang Xi's opinion, Qi Wu was actually enjoying it.
"Please come in, be busy." Jiang Xi said, and let Qi Wu come in sideways.
Qiwu crossed the threshold in one step.
Jiang Xi's eyes accidentally stayed on the several bronze wizard inscriptions inside the door for a moment, and there was no reaction on it.
She didn't think about it, and then closed the door and sat down with Qiwu at the stone table in the pavilion.
"Why is your mansion so quiet today?"
"The elders have something to do, Ji Xing... he is not feeling well."
Qi Wu didn't ask any more questions and arranged the wine and meat he bought one by one.
"I can't drink wine. I accidentally fell into the water a few days ago and was sick." Jiang Xi looked at the wine pot brought by Qi Wu with regret. The moment when the wine smelled out when it opened, Jiang Xi had already recognized that the wine pot contained the osmanthus wine with good osmanthus on Guichun's building, which made her wine insects ready to move, but she was worried that her body had to give up her thoughts.
Qi Wu asked her physical condition repeatedly, and after confirming that Jiang Xi was not seriously injured, she smiled and said that it was really good to have a good wine alone.
Jiang Xi sneered.
The two of them ate vegetables and meat in the pavilion and started chatting.
"You have been in Chang'an for a while, hasn't anyone come to find you at home?"
Qi Wu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and fiddled with the peanuts on the plate with chopsticks: "I found it. My elders actually have other arrangements for me, but I don't want to follow the path they have drawn for me. I want to do my own thing, rather than live according to other people's arrangements."
Jiang Xi put down the hot tea: "Then choose according to your thoughts."
"How is it so easy?" Qi Wu smiled bitterly, and Jiang Xi saw a look of distress on his face, "The elders raised me and cultivated me, and had great expectations for me. How could I say that ignoring me is ignoring? Then I have become a ungrateful wolf?"
Jiang Xi remembered that Qi Wu mentioned the situation at home in a silence, which should be a family with a strong status in the world.
Generally speaking, in this kind of family, the children of a family like Qiwu must give back to the family as much as they get. This is also the reason why the family spends a lot of time to cultivate their descendants at the beginning. The purpose is only for the continuation and growth of the family.
Therefore, it is indeed not easy for Qiwu to give up and ignore him.
"Then why did you come to Chang'an?"
Qi Wu murmured: "...I don't know either."
Jiang Xi suddenly laughed: "Where is there anything you don't know? Is it not that you chose Chang'an, but that you can't help yourself?"
Qi Wu was dull for a while before saying, "Sometimes, I really can't help myself."
"Um?"
"Nothing! Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I decided to stay in the Ministry of Justice first! Maybe my interest will pass soon, and then I will go back to inherit the family business?"
Before Jiang Xi went deeper, he raised the teacup and was knocked together with Qi Wu.
The moon wheel reflected in the cup breaks into circles of ripples as the cup touches lightly, and the complete and clear reflection of the moon wheel is also broken... but the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
...
Outside Chang'an City, when the black-robed lord boarded the carriage, a shocking sound came from behind him.
The people in the carriage also looked out worriedly.
"When did it arrive?" The black robe master looked at the young woman in the car with a black cloak, and his voice was as kind as if his father was treating his daughter.
But the woman lowered her head respectfully: "Just arrived."
"It seems you're worried about him."
The woman remained silent.
The black robe master bent his lips and said, "Then let's go and go to Chang'an City with me."
"Lord, this is what you want..."
"Kill a person."
The woman pondered for a long time: "Lord, my subordinates think that the most important thing for us now is the underground palace in this mountain. Now that the entrance to the underground palace has been destroyed, we will definitely miss the altar of Shaoyu Witch Lord in the underground palace. Will the Lord's plan be completely in chaos soon?"
The black robe master smiled and shook his head, and said: "You, you, you are so simple as ever."
The woman opened her eyes wide.
"Even you know, Shaoyu's witch master's altar is very important to us. Didn't Song Xu know that? That altar can guarantee the last hope of the divine witch's bloodline being constantly extinct. Do you think he really has the courage to destroy the altar?"
"But the entrance to the underground palace has collapsed..."
"Who said there is only one entrance?"
The black robe Lord said, bounced his finger contemptuously, and said ridiculously,
"This is just a trick. They destroyed the entrance to this mountain, making us mistakenly think that we can never enter the underground palace again. In fact, they still have another entrance hidden, right in Chang'an City!"
As he said that, the black-robed Lord's eyes had crossed the night and descended to the towering Chang'an City.
