The prince packed his luggage and went to Chu Xin to say goodbye: "Be sure to hold Shuangxiong Pass until I bring the army to find you!"
Chu Xin said with a smile: "I am waiting for His Highness and his army. As long as there is one Xuanren alive in Yongzhou, I will wait for Your Highness here!"
The prince said to Tao Huayuan: "Miss Tao, I originally wanted to tell Zhiqiong some things, but I don't know where this guy has gone. Please tell him to go to Yangjiao Pass more often. The soldiers there are living too hard.
Be sure to send supplies,
In addition, there are many refugees in Yongzhou. Let him check more and try to find a place to resettle them.
One more thing, if any bastard says that I will never come back, or that the imperial court will not send an army, you ask Zhiqiong to beat him, and I won’t beat him to death many times!"
The prince left, but Tao Huayuan thought of something.
There are still many refugees in Yongzhou.
…
In the Judicial Pavilion of the Punishment Department, Xu Zhiqiong poured wine for Qian Limu, and Xia Hu made tea for Qian Limu.
Xia Hu said: "Brother Qian, Judge Ma always told me that the person he admires most in his life is you!"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Qian, Officer Xia also told me that among the judges in our Punishment Department, you are the one with the highest moral character."
Xia Hu said: "Last time when Judge Ma and I had dinner together, we talked about you. You are a good brother who is affectionate and righteous, and you have taken great care of us both."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Last time Xia Tuiguan and I slept together, we also talked about you. You are a good brother who has the utmost integrity and has given us both a lot of help."
Xia Hu kicked Xu Zhiqiong.
Qian Limu blinked his eyes and said: "Brother Ma, it's not that I don't want to help you. Sixth-level skills are the foundation for a stable life. I can't leak this matter to you."
Xu Zhiqiong said quickly: "Brother Qian, I don't want to inquire about your cultivation level. I have been in the sixth level for some time, but I have never been able to find the way to the sixth level skills. I just want to ask for some advice from my elder brother.
"
"This makes it even more difficult for me to give you casual advice," Qian Limu said. "As far as I know, Master You is an expert in our Taoist sect. Since he hasn't given you any advice, how can I dare to speak easily?"
"My master is really in trouble and can't take care of me anymore. Brother Qian, can you still not trust my character?"
Qian Limu took a sip of wine and said: "Let's not talk about your character. Your talent is really annoying. A few days ago, I heard that you were going to be promoted to the sixth level. I felt a little uncomfortable. Now you are going to do it again.
Promoted to the sixth level,
It took me nearly thirty years to reach the sixth rank. You will be promoted to the sixth rank in less than a year. Why are you going to make me angry to death?
Officer Xia Tuiguan, am I right? Do you think your husband is too irritating? "
Xia Hu said repeatedly: "Yes, it's too irritating. When I first met him, he was a ninth-grade mortal official. Now he has climbed on top of me. How can I not be angry?"
Xu Zhiqiong added: "I usually climb on her body, not on her head."
Xia Hu kicked Xu Zhiqiong again.
Qian Limu shook his head and said: "No, I can't handle this anger. When I entered the sixth level, it took me two years to learn the sixth level skills. I won't tell you this, you can figure it out yourself!"
Qian Limu stood up to leave, but Xu Zhiqiong quickly persuaded him to stay: "Brother Qian, I know you are not such a stingy person."
"I'm really stingy this time."
"Brother, I have earned a lot of merit recently. Let me share some with my brother. What do you think?"
It's no use just talking about friendship, we can do some practical stuff.
Unexpectedly, Qian Limu's pride was stabbed again.
"Brother Ma, you are really capable. You are pitying me. No matter how poor I am, can I still ask for merit from you?"
I appreciate your kindness. I have something to do, so I’ll take the first step!"
Qian Limu was about to leave, and Xia Hu tried hard to persuade him to stay: "Brother Qian, please sit down for a while, that's not what he meant just now."
Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said: "Brother Qian, why not do this? I will take you to a fun place and all the expenses will be mine. Let Brother Qian take it easy. What do you think?"
Qian Limu smiled and said: "What is a fun place? There are so many fun places, do you have to go with me?"
Qian Limu was very angry.
Once a person is jealous, it is really difficult to control it. Qian Limu now feels that whatever Xu Zhiqiong says does not sit well with him.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Qian, I know you are well-informed, but maybe you have never been to this place."
If he had been there, he would probably have been left behind by the Yonglu Punishing Division.
"Then you have to tell me where it is," Qian Limu said with a smile, "I've never been to the palace, but I don't want to go. I hate that place so much.
There are several government offices I have never been to, and I don’t want to go. I know you have connections, so don’t take me to those places."
It seems that Qian Limu knows Xu Zhiqiong's mortal life very well.
And Xu Zhiqiong also confirmed Qian Limu's identity in the mortal world.
"Brother Qian, you said I don't like to go to these places either. I told you a place we all like to go to, Goulan. What do you think?"
Qian Limu laughed when he heard this.
Xia Hu kicked Xu Zhiqiong again: "How did you first meet Brother Qian? Is there a Goulan in the capital that Brother Qian has never been to?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "The Goulan I'm talking about is not in the capital."
Qian Limu said: "Shoumalan in Huazhou, Cuishanlan in Yanzhou, Tianxiulan in Fuzhou, Xijinlan in Yuanzhou, all over the world, there are not many famous Goulan that I have not been to. If
I can recommend a few of those little-known places."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "There is a famous place in Yongzhou, has Brother Qian been there?"
Qian Limu frowned and said, "Are you talking about Shifang Goulan?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
Qian Limu was silent for a while, and Xu Zhiqiong was very nervous.
Could it be that he really went there?
Could it be that he doesn't like that style?
After being silent for a long time, Qian Limu shook his head and said, "I have never been to Shifang Goulan, but I don't like that place."
"Since I've never been there, why does Brother Qian say he doesn't like it?"
Qian Limu said: "It's too arrogant to hear this shopkeeper's nickname. What does Mi Shifang mean?
Goulan originated in and flourished in the capital. Goulan may have some characteristics in various places, but it cannot be compared with Goulan in Beijing.
Luzhou is close to the northern border, and there must be a Maosha style in the hook bar. It is difficult to say whether it is authentic or not, but you still dare to claim that you are disdainful of the ten directions? It is really laughable by the experts."
Xu Zhiqiong saw the shadow of his former self in Qian Limu.
He is confident that he can take down Qian Limu, just like Zhou Qinglin took down Xu Zhiqiong easily.
"Brother Qian, let's go to Shifang Goulan now!"
Qian Limu shook his head and said, "I really don't want to go to that place."
"Brother Qian, just take a look. If you don't like it, I'll turn around and leave. I won't stop you. If Brother Qian likes it, I'll follow suit and give you some advice on how to learn the sixth-level skills!"
"That's alright," Qian Limu nodded and said, "But it's a long and high road to Luzhou Mountain, so we can't get there overnight. Let's make an appointment at another time."
"No, today is the best time," Xu Zhiqiong said, "Don't we have a place in the Punishment Department? Take a tooth sign and go to an attic. Once you put the sign up, you can go to a place and wherever you want to go.
Just go wherever..."
Qian Limu was confused when he heard this. Xia Hu and Xu Zhiqiong had known each other for a long time. After thinking for a while, he understood what Xu Zhiqiong meant: "You are talking about the Punishment of Evil Order and Chengfeng Tower!"
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Xia Hu and expressed that he had never heard of these two new terms.
Qian Limu also understood what Xu Zhiqiong meant; "Brother Ma, after you get the order to punish evil, you can go to Chengfeng Tower anywhere in the territory of the Department of Punishment. But the key is that we don't have an order to punish evil, and
Luzhou is not under the jurisdiction of our Punishment Department."
Xia Hu whispered to Xu Zhiqiong: "You must never think of punishing someone with an evil order. No matter how urgent the matter is, borrowing an order from Feng Shaoqing is harder than going to heaven."
"That's all, we don't need the punishment order, I will take you directly to the Yonglu Punishment Department!"
Qian Limu was stunned. He didn't expect that Xu Zhiqiong actually had the key to Yonglu's punishment of evil officials.
After entering the main gate of the Punishment Department, Xu Zhiqiong asked all the way and soon found Zhou Qinglin, the eighth-grade chief registrar.
Although the Yonglu Punishment Division is not large in scale, it has given a lot of care to the lower-level judges. Eighth-grade judges like Zhou Qinglin also have a residence in the Punishment Division, which is similar in size to the Judges Pavilion.
Seeing Xu Zhiqiong coming, Zhou Qinglin quickly greeted him warmly. Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong had brought another sixth-grade judge, Zhou Qinglin became even more enthusiastic.
He asked the two of them to sit down and hurriedly reported the long history of punishing evildoers.
After hearing the news, Li Muliang, the Chief of Punishment for Evils, ordered: "Give them good greetings. It would be great if one of them can be left behind!"
Zhou Qinglin hurriedly took the two of them to Shifang Goulan. When they arrived in the mortal world, they had to take off their masks. Qian Limu was a little hesitant. Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Brother Qi, let's stop hiding it. I already knew it."
It's you."
Qian Limu smiled and took off the mask. Xu Zhiqiong was right, it was that familiar skull face.
Qian Limu is Qi Xin'an.
Thinking about Qi Xin'an's state in Goulan, Xu Zhiqiong was sure that Shifang Goulan could definitely keep him.
But standing at the door of the yard, Qian Limu didn't want to go in.
"There's nothing like a hook here, Zhi Qiong, let's come back another day."
After Xu Zhiqiong's repeated persuasion, Qian Limu finally entered the gate.
After standing next to the first stage and looking at it for a moment, Xu Zhiqiong said, "Brother Qi, what do you think of this place?"
Qian Limu commented: "This style is not subtle enough. I will take a closer look."
After watching for a while, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Qi, we talked about that before..."
Qian Limu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You can't rush this matter."
"I'm really anxious."
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to keep your energy up! In the past few days, eat more, sleep more, don't sleep with Xia Tuiguan all the time, and gather enough energy. Come to me again in three days!" Qian Limu watched intently.
On the stage, he agreed to this.
Xu Zhiqiong's face was full of surprise: "Brother, I will come to you in three days!"
"Wait!" Qian Limu frowned and suddenly called Xu Zhiqiong.
Where?
Want to regret it?
"Three days is too urgent," Qian Limu took another sip of tea, "Five days, come back to me after five days!"
Xu Zhiqiong didn't dare to ask any more questions and left quickly.
Looking at this situation, Qian Limu can live here for a month.
The shopkeeper of Shifang Goulan stood in the private room on the second floor and looked at the three judges quietly.
He picked up the brush and drew a picture on the canvas.
…
Beijing, Li Qi Tea House.
Li Shabai sat in front of the canvas without writing, and a scroll automatically appeared on the canvas.
"Your Highness, your sweetheart went to Goulan again."
He Fang smiled and said: "Just go. If you are not a romantic person, you will waste your youth. Painter Li, I didn't expect you to have a hidden secret in Yongzhou."
Li Shabai smiled and said: "If you don't have some means, how can you assist His Highness in ascending the throne?"
