Su Ziji also said goodbye to the young man and went back in an oxcart.
“It still rains, but it’s much lighter!” Although when it rains heavily, it’s hard to find empty carts in the city, but now when the rain has lightened up significantly, there are rental ox carts even outside the city—you have to make a living, and you can’t always take shelter from the rain.
.
It has to be said that the weather has a great impact on the people, and it is related to their livelihood and survival, even if they suffer from the wind and cold, which was difficult to treat once it worsened in ancient times.
The cool breeze of autumn rain had passed away for most of the time, and the car was filled with warmth. As we drove together, we could only hear the hooves of the cows trotting in the muddy water. Su Ziji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, lowered his eyes, and saw half a piece of land.
The shadow of rosewood floats in the field of vision.
"Ziqing Zizai Endowment Level 3, 625/3000!"
After a fight, I got 600 more experience points. Although the increase is not too much, I still gained something while practicing actual combat. No matter how much it is, it is an unexpected surprise and I don’t dislike it.
Back in the city, Su Ziji passed by a snack shop, hesitated for a moment, and went in to buy some of Ye Buhui's favorite snacks.
After knocking on the door and being let in by Ye Buhui, Su Ziji found that Ye Buhui was kneading dough. After asking, he found out that she was making dough.
"By the way, husband, your birthday is coming soon, right?" Ye Buhui asked suddenly.
Su Ziji was stunned for a moment, then remembered his birthday in this life and sighed: "Yes, it's next month."
"When the time comes, would you like to invite your classmates to come to your home for a reunion?" Ye Buhui stopped and looked at it, if so, this would be a big project, and the people who would come would be either candidates or scholars.
Su Ziji thought for a while and shook his head: "It's better not to make this matter public. Then you and I can have a meal of longevity noodles at home."
Invite classmates?
It is still unclear how to resolve the matter of life experience. Celebrating your birthday at this time may become a problem in the future, so it is better to keep a low profile.
What's more, if the rain keeps falling like this, it won't matter. Is the rain caused by the demon clan? If so, how much does it have to do with King Qi?
It’s hard to say what my situation will be next month.
But it was not good to talk to Ye Buhui about this, lest it would cause her more troubles, so he quickly changed the subject: "Here, I will help you choose the vegetables."
"Husband, can you still choose the dishes?"
"Don't underestimate me. After my mother passed away, my father never remarried. We, father and son, made our own meals." Moreover, I lived independently for a long time in my previous life.
Moreover, his knife skills are indeed very good. Just listen to the crisp sound of the kitchen knife and the chopping board, and the vegetables in his hands turn into uniform filaments.
Su Ziji quickly finished cutting the vegetables and soaked them in the basin. He smiled and watched her start processing, not necessarily helping.
There was peace of mind in the room, and the patter of rain made it even more so. Su Ziji suddenly thought of his girlfriend in his previous life. She cried and said: "You can do everything, and everyone respects you. Now you can even do housework, don't you think you can even do it?"
Do I need to take away this bit of my pride?"
The previous life was like a dream. Su Ziji's eyes became focused and he looked at Ye Buhui.
In the same city, in a luxurious courtyard, several people were standing under the eaves, looking at the rain that kept falling, looking very unhappy.
One of them was Luo Pei, the imperial envoy who arrived at Shuanghua Mansion in the provincial capital.
Luo Pei was wearing casual clothes at this time, not an official uniform, but he was tall and had an outstanding temperament. He carried a kind of majesty in his movements. In contrast, he had a tired look and a slightly sick appearance. In this continuous rainy season, he still looked...
Constant coughing.
Standing next to him was a Taoist who did not move even if he was blown by the slanting wind. His body was shrouded in a halo that prevented the Taoist robe from catching any rain. It was Liu Chen.
Behind Liu Chen stood a Confucian scholar, Zheng Yingci.
These three people came together to control the flood.
Zheng Yingci was rescued by Liu Chen and became a disciple. During this period, apart from studying, he spent the rest of his time practicing. He was very talented and had some achievements.
Although he is still too immature compared to a truly skilled alchemist, he looks a lot different from the past.
A pair of eyes that are heavy and clear at first glance, but if you look at them for a while, you will only feel fear in your heart.
Luo Pei couldn't help but take a second look, feeling that he had made a mistake before.
Who would have thought that this young man who was supposed to inherit the political resources and stance of the Zheng family would worship Liu Chen as his teacher and stand here?
Luo Pei shook his head slightly and said: "...That's what happened. I didn't move on, but stayed here. It's because the coast is an area heavy with water monsters. I took the officers and soldiers there directly, but I couldn't help them. Instead, they were restrained.
, unable to advance or retreat."
Luo Pei is a famous water-control minister and comes from a well-established family. He is not an unfounded person, so he naturally has his own information channels.
This flood came suddenly and dangerously, and even the continuous rain revealed a conspiracy. How could we not send someone to investigate before it came?
Who among the officials in the imperial court with some connections and foundations doesn’t know that humans are not the only ones in this world?
Not only do monsters exist, they are also unruly and have hatred towards humans. This is a hidden danger to the human court.
When Luo Pei was controlling floods in the past, he had also encountered water demons causing trouble. Naturally, he had friendships with some alchemists. Now he learned that this flood was caused by water demons, and there were many participants, and it involved King Qi's seizure of water.
It's a matter of direct concern, so I asked someone to invite an expert to come over.
I didn’t expect it would be Liu Chen this time.
Regarding Liu Chen, Luo Pei was naturally convinced of his ability, but he was a little wary, even though Liu Chen's position was also that of the King of Shu.
Those who are not from my race must have different minds. It is the monster race that is wreaking havoc, so these Taoists are allowed to occupy the temple.
These thoughts flashed through him quickly, and Luo Pei looked at Liu Chen and said, "The people will suffer if the floods flood."
"These water monsters are really abominable!" Liu Chen looks like a fairy and has a laid-back attitude. In fact, he likes to "do it if you don't accept it." According to martial arts, he can definitely be regarded as a swordsman who hates evil and hates evil.
His face was angry, and his voice was cold and murderous.
"Continuous heavy rains, frequent floods, and officials colluding with the demon clan to cause harm are really hateful. Once discovered, they will be caught and thrown directly into the river, so that he can truly feel the harm of floods!"
Zheng Yingci, who was behind Liu Chen, twitched the corner of his mouth and had to say: "Lord Luo, my master has always hated evil and hated the demon clan. If his words are inappropriate, please don't take offense, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."
Luo Pei put his fist into his mouth and coughed several times. His face looked sick, and he sighed: "I am really sad about this, how can I be surprised? I am not worried about this?"
Liu Chen snorted: "Since Mr. Luo knows this, he should have some evidence. Why not report it directly to this superior to prevent King Qi from making a big mistake?"
Luo Pei smiled bitterly: "Oh, real man, no matter what King Qi is, he is still the son of the Holy Emperor..."
