The "Ice and Snow Shrine" disciple handed the plate to Ji Chan and said, "This is what Uncle Linghu asked me to send. Thank you very much for coming here specifically for Senior Sister Hua. Please accept the gift. ???
The snowmobile to take you away is ready. I will wait at the gate first. You can come to me after you pack your luggage."
Ji Chan opened the yellow silk cloth and found ten pieces of flawless white and crystal clear ice jade lying on the plate.
"Is the ice jade dug out of the cold pool?" Ding Kui asked.
Ji Chan divided two pieces for everyone and said: "Ice jade is a specialty of the Arctic Icefield. It is not found in other places. Wear it on your body and you will not feel hot no matter how many clothes you wear. It is especially suitable in summer."
.This thing is rare in quantity outside and extremely valuable, especially in the southern countries, where it is difficult to find even one piece for tens of thousands of gold coins."
"Is it just to put on more clothes?" Ding Kui put a piece of ice jade in the palm of his hand and felt a chill that penetrated his heart, instead of the prickly coldness of ice cubes.
"Don't underestimate it. It also has the function of warding off fire. Ordinary flames can't get close to it. As for the other magical functions, you can slowly experience them later." Ji Chan was worried that Ding Kui didn't pay attention to the ice jade, so he took it back and gave it away.
remind.
"Good stuff." Ao Yu stuffed the ice jade into his arms.
Ding Kui immediately took a new look at Bingyu. Even Qinglong said it was a good thing and it must not be much worse.
It was not yet noon after the two games were played, so Jichan and others were not allowed to have lunch at the "Ice and Snow Shrine", and they were sent off after they had packed their luggage.
The so-called "snow cart" is a flatbed cart pulled by elk. Ding Kui and the others were riding in a cart pulled by eight elk, and they would have been knocked off the cart if they were fighting. Although the snow cart is simple, its speed is still good, and there is an "Ice and Snow Shrine"
When the disciples are here, they can drive away the ice sparrows when they encounter them, and the treatment is much better than when they came here.
Returning to the border of the Ancient Yuan Empire, Ji Chan shot magic light bullets into the sky. In just a moment of burning incense, a large group of cavalry came to respond.
It was July 4872 when Ding Kui came to Luojing City again. He calculated that it would take more than half a year to rush back to Xiaxi Town. He stayed at the Demon Prince's Mansion in Nanping for two days before bidding farewell to Ji Chan.
"Brother, do you want to wait until your brother gets married before leaving?" Ji Chan tried his best to persuade him to stay.
"Brother, to be honest, my family has arranged a marriage for me. The engagement ceremony will be held together with my adult ceremony. I must rush back before June next year. It will take at least several months for you to get married.
If I can't skip the royal procedures, how can I get home in time? First of all, I wish you and your sister-in-law to have a son soon and be together forever!" Ding Kui couldn't wait for such a long time.
"So that's it, then I can't keep you here, brother. Come here." Ji Chan called the housekeeper and gave instructions in a low voice, "Thanks to you and Ding Yu for helping me this time, otherwise it would be difficult for me to defeat Ji Yu's team.
, my brother has prepared something for you, don’t think it’s too shabby.”
"By the way, I haven't prepared a gift for your wedding yet, so why would I have the nerve to accept your things?" Ding Kui politely refused.
"Hey, I didn't prepare anything for your coming-of-age ceremony and engagement. I should be grateful for this trip to the Ice and Snow Shrine. If the set of precious armors were not a family heirloom left to me by my mother-in-law, I would also give them to you.
.”
Not long after the butler left, he brought back a beautiful wooden box.
"Here are one million gold coins and an enshrining order. The enshrinement status of my prince's palace is higher than that of ordinary nobles. With the enshrining order, I can travel unimpeded in the ancient Yuan Empire." Ji Chan handed the wooden box to Ding Kui with his own hands.
The tribute order from the prince's palace is something that even money cannot buy. Even the pastor of a state will give him some face when he sees the prince's offering. What's more, the prince is also the deacon of the magicians' association, and the magicians' guilds in various places
Even if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you will also look at the Buddha’s face, and you won’t refuse a small favor.
Of course, Ji Chan would not know that both Ding Kui and Ao Yu had space rings. The gift should be something easy to carry. The gold coin card and the offering order are enough to express his gratitude.
With the enshrining order, Ding Kui could walk through the portal without Ji Chan. He and Ao Yu rushed to Bayi Prefecture first. Not only did it have unique scenery, but it also had the largest commercial dock. You could take a boat through Tongyuan Jiangnan.
Go to Lu State, then transfer from Lu State back to Shaodian State.
In October 4872, a large passenger ship docked at the largest dock in Spring and Autumn City. A large number of guests from the Ancient Yuan Empire stepped off the ship. Ding Kui and Ao Yu did not change their disguises and mingled with the crowd with their original appearance.
Suddenly, a man in his thirties, wearing a gray shirt, squeezed towards Ding Kui on the edge of the pier, bowed and saluted, and said: "Master, I have been waiting here for a long time according to the master's instructions. Please come to the master."
Let’s go there.”
Ding Kui quickly glanced around and whispered, "Well, let's talk about it after we go out."
"Yes." The man in gray clothes took a step behind, following behind Ding Kui.
"Who is this? Do you know him?" Ao Yu asked.
"I don't know, he should be my father's subordinate." Ding Kui shrugged. He had never seen this person before, but everyone in the Lu Kingdom would recognize him, and he knew that not many people came back.
After walking out of the pier and arriving at an open space, Ding Kui asked, "How do you recognize me?"
"Master, my subordinate Fabian, the information about you was passed on by Mr. Qian, including the material and color of your clothes. Even if you disguise yourself, my subordinates can tell it." This man in gray turned out to be someone who had sneaked in before.
The groom at Han Ruren's house.
Oh, the old money man saved something. It seems that I will need to prepare more sets of clothes, pants, shoes, and socks in the future. I have ignored these details.
Ding Kui came to his senses and said, "Is there something going on at home?"
"Everything is safe at home and there is no bad news."
Ding Kui asked Ding Qi's address in detail, then threw a gold coin high into the air and threw it to Fabian, pretending to buy information from Fabian, and then strolled into Spring and Autumn City with Ao Yu.
Tuan Inn.
Lu Xi, who was slightly drunk, grabbed the sleeve of shopkeeper Qi and walked out of the private room, while Xiao Rong supported her on the other side.
"Every time I ask you to drink, you always don't drink. It's boring for me to drink alone." Lu Xi blamed Shopkeeper Qi.
"Haha, there are so many things going on in the store that it's not convenient for me to drink." Shopkeeper Qi said with a smile.
At this time, two young men walked into the inn. The younger one glanced at the inn lobby, and his eyes flashed when he passed by Lu Xi.
"Shopkeeper, come out here, do you have a good room here?" The young man raised his head and shouted into the air.
Shopkeeper Qi frowned.
Lu Xi's face darkened, he let go of Shopkeeper Qi's sleeves, walked quickly to the young man, and said, "Young people must be well-educated. What's the point of shouting here?"
"Hey, sister, do you own this shop? Are customers not allowed to speak?" The young man looked down at Lu Xi, who only reached his chin.
When Lu Xi heard the word "eldest sister", he was so angry that he lost all his alcohol. However, the person in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so calling her "eldest sister" was not wrong.
Xiao Rong jumped out at this time, pointed at the young man's nose and said: "Can you speak? Who is your eldest sister? No one forbids you to speak, I just ask you not to bark."
"Cough, cough, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Lu, Miss Xiaorong, this little brother is a customer of our store, how about you let me handle this matter?" Shopkeeper Qi stood between Lu Xi and the young man.
Lu Xi's lips moved, there was something he wanted to say but couldn't say it out.
"Miss, go back and don't behave like that uneducated brat." Xiao Rong said and glared at the young man.
"Let's go." Lu Xi sighed inwardly.
After watching Lu Xi and Xiao Rong leave, shopkeeper Qi said with a straight face: "Please invite me, sir. I will personally take you to the guest room to see."
The young man shrank his neck and followed Shopkeeper Qi to the backyard.
The older young man also wanted to follow, but as soon as he reached the backyard door, an old man in black suddenly appeared in front of him.
"You stay here, don't follow." The old man in black said coldly.
The older young man felt a chill coming over him, which startled him, and he stood obediently at the door of the backyard without moving.
Shopkeeper Qi led the young man into the secret room, sat down on the only chair in the secret room, and said calmly: "Have you had enough fun?"
With a "pop" sound, the young man knelt down and said, "My child pays homage to your father."
"Humph, you still know your identity. Miss Lu was the princess of the Lu State just now, and you actually yelled in front of her. What if you attract the experts from the Lu State Intelligence Department and expose your identity?" Qi
The shopkeeper's face darkened.
The young man was Ding Kui. He knelt on the ground and said: "What my father taught me is that the child must remember it in the future. You are still capable, and your spies have been placed in King Lu's palace."
"Nonsense, you don't need to ask more about this matter. You are so naughty that you sneaked out without telling the family, and even asked your father-in-law to take great pains to cover you. Later, you went out to find the housekeeper to get fifty family rules." Ding Qi
This is the first time he punishes his son so severely.
"Ah? The child has gained something. Father, can you let the child make up for his mistakes?"
"What's the catch?"
"Haier made many friends along the way, including Ao Yu outside. He and Haier helped the Demon Prince Nanping of the Ancient Yuan Empire to propose marriage, and the boy earned a tribute order; before, the boy also met a magician named Xie Peng.
Master, he introduced the boy to a channel for purchasing war horses."
"Well, you have some potential, but merit is merit and fault is fault. They cannot be confused together. In the future, when your gains are effective, you will be rewarded by your father."
"Father, if you don't bring something like this, you won't be able to reward the child, and you can offset part of the family wealth."
"Wantless, if there is no one in the army or on the military formation who can bargain like you. I have already agreed with Uncle Kun on your punishment. If you want to beg for mercy, please beg Uncle Kun to be gentle. Accept it.
After the family has been punished, you and your companions should try to change your appearance, and then come to me and tell me about your experiences during this time in detail." Ding Qi showed no mercy at all.
The Marquis of Protector governs his family with military rules. Family rules are actually military rules, and family laws are military sticks. Ding Kui's running away from home is comparable to a deserter. If he hadn't notified Ding Qi before, and now he ran back by himself, he would have been punished.
