The golden sunlight in the early morning slanted across the eaves from the sky and fell in front of the living room, illuminating the shape of a door frame and lighting up the entire living room.
Xia Jin walked to the door and saw Lin Ziyi sitting on the imperial chair. Even if the sun shone into the room, it could not hide his cold eyes and stern face.
"General, I thought you would never come back!" The voice was cold, even a little bit complaining.
Xia Jin lowered his head, looking good at admitting his mistake.
"I made you worry, General! I'm sorry!"
"Where have you gone?" Lin Ziyi stared at her.
He lost track of the Scarlet Flame Fairy, and he felt irritated and wanted to come to Xia Jin for a cup of chrysanthemum tea that could soothe the heart and reduce internal heat.
But this wait is just one night!
Xia Jin was so excited by what he saw that she felt like she was caught skipping class and being caught by her class teacher!
When she came in, Xia Jin had already thought of her words. She cleared her throat and said, "Last night a businessman came to discuss business and said he had a batch of anise for sale. I went out of the city to see the quality, but I didn't expect that when I came back
, the city gate was closed, so I temporarily stayed outside the city last night."
Lin Ziyi squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
Xia Jin's face remained calm and her heart did not beat. After all, when she was learning fire control from her master, she skipped a lot of classes. Now she is experienced in dealing with it!
After a long while, Lin Ziyi looked away and said, "Pour me a cup of chrysanthemum tea."
"Hold on!"
Xia Jin went to make tea and handed the tea to Lin Ziyi's hand, "Be careful, it's a bit hot."
Lin Ziyi took the tea cup and rubbed his swollen forehead, "Don't go out at night from now on."
"Why can't you go out?" Xia Jin asked.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is arresting people. It's easy to be arrested by mistake when you go out." After saying this, he stood up.
"Anyway, you can't go wrong by being careful during this period."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"General, you haven't had your tea yet!" Xia Jin chased after him.
"No more drinking. I still have things to deal with in the army." After saying that, he walked out quickly.
After walking out of the house, Lin Ziyi's face darkened.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Xia Jin."
Mu Gu looked into the house suspiciously and asked, "General, is he suspicious of Miss Xia?"
"She didn't leave the city at all last night, which means she was lying. I will find out exactly why she lied!"
"My subordinate understands!"
…
Seeing Lin Ziyi walking away, Si Si and Zhang Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so dangerous!"
Xia Jin sat on the chair, rubbing her eyebrows.
"What day is it today?"
"It's just April 15th!" Zhang's mother said.
"April 15th! My peach blossoms are ready!" Xia Jin walked out excitedly.
"Miss Xia, where are you going!" Zhang Ma was lame and unable to catch up, so she ordered Siji. "Follow me quickly!"
Before Zhang Ma finished speaking, Si Ji followed her.
Xia Jin went to Xia's house and brought a shovel to dig out the wine jar buried in the ground.
When I opened the seal, the aroma of wine wafted out.
“That’s what it tastes like!”
Xia Jin’s favorite, Peach Blossom Drunk~
The light pink wine exudes the fragrance of peach blossoms, the sweetness of peaches, and the rich aroma of wine after fermentation.
This kind of wine does not need to be fermented for too long. If it is too long, it will lose its fruity taste. Now it tastes just right. It is full of fragrance without the bitterness of wine. It is sweet and delicious. It would be better if there are ice cubes!
Xia Jin poured herself a small glass and took a sip. Her nose and mouth were filled with the aroma of wine.
"Delicious~" Xia Jin narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.
Looking at the remaining jars, the Eight Wise Kings found fresh peaches for Xia Jin, so Xia Jin promised to give him a jar as a reward.
Therefore, there is an altar for the Eight Wise Kings.
In addition, Yun Daozi provided Xia Jin with clues to the spiritual jade, so a jar had to be given away as a bargaining chip.
Xia Jin dug out the wine, washed the mud and ordered it to be sent over.
Not long after, Yun Daozi and the Eighth Sage King both received the wine jars at almost the same time.
The Eight Wise Kings looked at the wine jar on the table with excitement.
"This, could this be Peach Blossom Drunkness!"
"The boss said that this was a drunken peach blossom. The prince accepted it and the younger one resigned!"
Looking at the boy leaving, the Eight Wise Kings couldn't calm down for a long time. Such a good thing was unexpectedly delivered by a boy!
What if there is an accident on the road?
He swallowed. The repair of Dantian was always a little bit behind, and he had been troubled by this matter recently.
Now, with this jar of Peach Blossom Drunkenness, his Dantian will definitely be repaired!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered to retreat and walked towards the inner courtyard with the wine jar in his arms.
On the other side, Yun Daozi also received Peach Blossom Drunk.
"Quite punctual." He murmured, lifting the lid with his long fingers.
In the eyes of others, this is just a pot of fragrant wine, but in his eyes, it is a treasure filled with pure Yang energy!
There was a hint of greed and surprise in his eyes. This altar was purer than the one the Eighth Prince sent last time!
Even his breathing became heavy, and his heart, which had been silent for many years as a Taoist monk, started to beat wildly!
The internal injuries he suffered, with all this pure yang energy, are he afraid that he won't be able to recover?
He grinned and smiled softly.
Just then, someone walked in.
"Master Imperial Master, Prime Minister Qu wants to see you."
Yun Daozi quickly covered the wine jar.
"Let him in."
Prime Minister Qu walked in, bowed his hands respectfully, and said, "Sorry to disturb the Imperial Master. Recently, the Prime Minister's house was set on fire by gangsters. I would like to ask the Imperial Master to do a fortune-telling to see where the thief is hiding!"
Yun Daozi's hexagrams are extremely accurate. Whether it's about finding people or things, the future and fate, or even the fate of the country, he can figure it out!
However, Yun Daozi did not help people tell fortunes casually, but Prime Minister Qu was an exception.
Yun Daozi was injured when he was traveling abroad in the early years. He was accidentally rescued by Prime Minister Qu and received a favor, so he had requests and could not refuse.
It can be said that the reason why Prime Minister Qu has achieved what he has today is due to Yun Daozi telling fortunes for him.
Yun Daozi took out a turtle shell, put in a few copper coins, poured it out, and frowned slightly as he looked at it for a moment.
How could it be her?
"Master Imperial Master, have you found it?" Prime Minister Qu came over.
Yun Daozi folded his sleeves and put the copper coins away, and said calmly: "The clouds and fog cover it, so I can't see through it. He may be hiding far away, so I can't find him."
Prime Minister Qu touched his chin and said doubtfully: "I just escaped yesterday. I can't leave the capital so soon..."
"Prime Minister Qu, is there anything else?" Yun Daozi looked at him indifferently.
Prime Minister Qu cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, Sir." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
After he left, Yun Daozi spread his palms, looked at the copper coins in his hands, and then looked at the wine on the table.
"Xia Jin..."
He opened his thin lips slightly, uttered these two words, stood up, and walked outside.
The Eighth Prince was about to come over to say hello when he almost bumped into Yun Daozi.
Seeing him leaving, the Eighth Prince chased after him and asked, "Master, where are you going?"
