Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the group continued to travel south, stopping and stopping along the way, and arrived at Dongqing Town, a small town in the west of Yanma County.
Dongqing Town is very small, a little inferior to Dafeng City. There is only one inn in this town, so people don't have to shop here and there like before.
It was getting very late, and few outsiders came here in Dongqing Town. The innkeeper was drowsy. After serving noodles to Li Danqing and others, he sat aside, supporting his face with his hands, feeling drowsy.
"My friend, the Yangchun noodles here are not as good as the one in Xunshui City yesterday. The taste is quite different." Zhou Jue, who was eating noodles, commented on the food at the table again.
"Senior, if you want to eat delicious food, I think there was a restaurant in this town just now..." Li Danqing said.
But before he finished speaking, Zhou Jue waved his hand and interrupted: "No, this..."
"What everyone in the world can eat is the most delicious thing in the world; only what everyone can drink can be called a sage or a sage." Li Danqing helplessly repeated the words that he had heard these days.
Zhou Jue is far more picky about food than Li Danqing imagined. The first thing he does when he goes somewhere is to eat and drink. However, every time he eats and drinks, he cannot help but be picky and make comments. Li Danqing intends to serve him well, but every time
Every time I brought up such an idea, the other party would block it with such an excuse. Over time, I remembered these words.
Zhou Jue, who was robbed of his words, was not angry at all. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Little friend, you have understood it too."
With that said, he lowered his head and ate the noodles again.
Li Danqing rolled his eyes, frowned and asked, "I didn't realize anything..."
Zhou Jue still lowered his head to eat the noodles and said: "There are thousands of delicacies in this world. Back then, the great merchants were at the end of their rope, and uprisings broke out in seventeen of the twenty-eight counties. But even so, the temple
On top of that, the homes of wealthy merchants are still filled with fine clothes, fine food, and countless delicacies from the mountains and seas."
"You are in the palace, as long as you are willing not to listen or see, and let the world turn upside down, the world will still be peaceful for you."
"If you want to see the world clearly, you can only see it clearly from this market place."
As he spoke, the man flipped his chopsticks in the bowl and smiled. He saw her picking out a piece of meat from the noodle soup: "Look, there is meat."
After saying that, he took a delicious bite of the piece of meat and put it in his mouth with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Li Danqing was stunned. He seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand very well: "But even so, it doesn't hurt to eat something a little expensive occasionally."
"Of course." Zhou Jue nodded: "But Zhou Jue's belly is only so big. If you eat what you eat, you won't be able to eat this. You have to make some choices, right?"
Li Danqing said puzzledly: "The days are long, seniors don't have to rush..."
Li Danqing then spoke, but as he spoke, his voice suddenly became quieter.
Of course, people who have a lot of time can do whatever they want, eat all they want, and drink all they want.
But if a person is so stubborn and does something that outsiders cannot understand...
Either he is weird and stubborn, or he is...
Li Danqing thought of this and was about to say something, but at this moment a gust of night wind blew by, making the door of the inn clang. The sleeping old shopkeeper beside him blinked and glanced at the scene in the night wind.
The door shook, he frowned, and fell asleep again.
"It's already February, why is the wind so cold?" Li Danqing shuddered, tightened his clothes, and muttered. He looked at Master Ji and winked at her, and was about to continue.
The topic - the two of them have been secretly discussing how to solve the current dilemma in the past few days, and the most important part of it is to find out what Zhou Jue wants to do this time. For this reason, the two of them specially discussed it
A plan has been devised, and now is the time.
But what surprised Li Danqing was that when he looked at Master Ji, Master Ji's face was pale and she could be said to have turned a blind eye to Li Danqing's gaze, just staring straight at him.
He secretly felt weird and wondered what was going on with this female devil. Could it be that she had been with him for a long time and finally felt the charm of her personality? She was trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself from it.
Although Li Danqing was excited to think about being Ji Qi's brother-in-law and taking several nephews to visit Ji Qi in Wuyang City in the past few years, after all, things had priorities, and he had to wait until they were resolved.
Let’s talk about it later, right?
Li Danqing thought this and was about to remind Master Ji, but then a cold voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"I've heard of Mr.'s name a long time ago. I didn't expect to have the chance to meet him in this life. I will actually be lucky in the next three lives."
Li Danqing looked to his side in excitement, only to see a man wearing a black gown sitting on the right side of where he was sitting. He was wearing a Rakshasa mask. His voice sounded like he was young, but his tone was
It's so low, just hearing it makes one's scalp numb.
What made Li Danqing even more frightened was that the other party arrived without any warning, as if he appeared out of thin air.
Zhou Jue, who was on the opposite side of the other party, had a normal expression. He looked at the visitor and said: "We agreed to meet in seven days, but you arrived in a hurry on the sixth day. It's because those friends didn't bring the message last time.
?"
Rakshasa Mask said: "Sir, you misunderstood. It's just that the plan has changed. I have to come early to disturb your leisurely enjoyment."
"According to the plan, the gentleman was supposed to be awakened by the blood of the two holy sons. However, because of the interference of these two men, the impermanent servant responsible for the matter could only sacrifice himself to awaken the gentleman. His intentions are commendable, but the holy power in the blood
After all, he is not as good as the Holy Son we carefully selected for our husband."
"Although Sir, your dependence on the Immortality Pill will be even stronger. The seven-day pill is actually only effective for six days."
As he spoke, the man wearing a Rakshasa mask turned his head and looked at the sky outside the house, and then said: "It will probably take a quarter of an hour for the effect of the longevity pill to wear off, and then the gentleman will become extremely weak.
.”
"That's why I had to come early to give Mr. Zeng medicine."
The man with the Rakshasa mask said this, took out another white medicine bottle from his arms and gently placed it in front of himself.
Zhou Jue smiled, stared at the other person and asked, "Besides delivering medicine, you probably have other things to do, right?"
The other party said: "Nothing is perfect without rules. Let's establish the rules first to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. What do you think, sir?"
The night wind was blowing, and the dilapidated door of the inn was still creaking. The candlelight in the room flickered, and the shopkeeper beside him fell into a deep sleep.
The hall suddenly fell into silence. Zhou Jue and the visitor looked at each other. One of them wore a mask and his expression was invisible, while the other had a faint smile on his lips, but his eyebrows were downcast. There seemed to be an undercurrent surging between them.
Li Danqing and Master Ji smelled the tense atmosphere on the wooden table at this moment, but at this moment, the two of them, one had a poor cultivation level and the other had a banned cultivation level, could not participate in this conversation after all.
, could only watch both sides nervously.
"Excuse me, please tell me." After a while, Zhou Jue suddenly said.
"Sir wants to take the knife, but the Wuyang court has received the news and sent people to stop it. People from all walks of life also went there. Sir, he is a talented man. Naturally, he is not afraid of those cats and dogs, but it is still some trouble. The Palace of Eternal Life
I am willing to do my best to help Mr. take care of these troubles." The man wearing a Rakshasa mask said softly.
"Sir, you need the Immortality Pill to maintain your life, and I, the Eternal Life Palace, are also willing to provide this for you."
"And whatever you need along the way, sir, the Eternal Life Palace is willing to provide it."
"Even after your husband takes the sword, we, the Eternal Life Palace, are willing to help him with the manpower and material resources needed to restore the country."
Master Ji's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. To be fair, after these days of getting along with each other, Master Ji no longer had the tit-for-tat hostility towards this old minister of the former dynasty. However, the other party's desire to restore the country has always been
There was a worry in Master Ji's heart, and when she heard the other party mention this matter, she was inevitably touched.
"The Temple of Eternal Life is an ancient road." At this time, Zhou Jue nodded with a smile, but suddenly changed the subject and asked: "The ancients said that if you give me a papaya, you can repay me with Qiongju. If the temple treats me like this, what should I do?
How to repay the temple?"
"Haha! The master of the palace admires your grace and grace. There is no need to repay everything you have given me, and you don't have to worry too much about it, but there is only one thing." Rakshasa Mask paused and looked at Li Danqing and Master Ji, his voice suddenly
It got colder.
"Prince Li is a smart man and can speak well. It's not a bad idea to keep him if you like."
"but……"
"The life of this eldest princess must be taken by the Palace of Eternal Life!"
