Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 18: The King of Lujiang
Jiang Hexian opened his eyes with a strange expression on his face. He didn't make any movements and lay motionless on the bed for a long time, until it was confirmed that Wu Mian and Gui Bugui had fallen asleep in a room. , did not notice that he had opened his eyes. It was as if he had turned over in his sleep, hitting his arm on Han Zhongxian's chest intentionally or unintentionally.
As soon as the arm was placed, Han Zhongxian also opened his eyes. The two of them looked at each other, and after looking at each other, Jiang Hexian blinked a few times, and finally his mouth opened and closed. After seeing his mouth shape clearly, Han Zhongxian also blinked. Signed to 'listen' to understand what he said.
Then a strange smile appeared on Jiang Hexian's face. He turned over again and turned his head. Then both of them closed their eyes at the same time, as if nothing had happened.
In the early morning of the next day, the steward of the Surabaya had prepared a rich breakfast. The disciples of Han and Jiang knew that their life or death was uncertain, and they didn't know what to eat. The masters of the two of them ate deliciously, and couldn't help but say, "You two are really wide-minded, you know that you have gone to see Xu Fu and you will die, so you can still eat it like this. Do you have to go down for breakfast? Look at these eggs being eaten by the two of you one by one, aren't you afraid that you will be a hen in your next life, laying eggs to pay off your debts?"
While Gui Bugui was talking, Jiang Hexian was picking up an egg in the plate. While peeling the skin, he said, "This is the case. We have nothing to do except wait for death. Since we are going to die, why not leave? The delicacy in this world, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it a few times."
"We also just want to be a full-fledged ghost." Han Zhongxian followed suit, then took a bowl of sweet porridge and took a sip. Then he continued: "I have been on the ship for a long time, although there are offerings from the Surabaya, there are many good things to eat and drink. But I have long been tired of eating and drinking with the sea breeze. Eat and drink on board. Refreshing..."
"If you like to eat, eat more" Gui Bugui glanced at the two of them with a smile, and then called the steward over to prepare some food. I was going to let the two of them grind their teeth on the road, after all, just eat and drink without causing trouble.
After eating and drinking, they came out of the shop to set off. At this point, the steward had prepared a carriage, which was filled with things that were used along the way. He knew the importance of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui in his owner's heart, so he kept cursing, expecting the two of them to say a few more good words to Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan.
After leaving the county seat, the carriage continued to head towards Quanzhou. After driving to noon, they did not reach the Yuzhen store, so they stopped and rested on the spot. Wait until lunch is over before moving on.
At this time, the two people who pressed the car of the Surabaya took down the food and drink prepared on the car. Then he started to make a fire to cook. At this time, Taotie's injuries were no longer serious, and he frowned when he saw how they were cooking. Under the pressure of Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San, Long Zong pulled two people away and started cooking in person. It didn't take long for a strange scent to come out.
"I didn't expect to be able to taste the craftsmanship of the dragon seed before I died. It seems that this life is not wronged." Smelling the strange fragrance from the gluttonous food, Han Zhongxian laughed and looked impatient. This person was still sluggish yesterday, but now he seems to be a different person. Sitting on the side and watching him, Gui Bugui narrowed his eyes. Han and Jiang's techniques were sealed by themselves. The two of them didn't have a chance to escape, so they really went out and broke the jar?
Not long after, the dishes prepared by Taotie were delivered to everyone one by one. Han and Jiang are also welcome, grab the dishes and eat them. When I saw the fine wine brought by the guys on the Surabaya, I picked it up and drank it, as if the two of them were the masters here.
Looking at the table full of dishes, I didn't eat a few mouthfuls before I was caught by these two people. I threw the chopsticks in their hands and said to Jiang and Han: "I see it. Why are you two going against Xu Fu? Is that old guy not giving you food? Look at each one like a starving ghost. Did you give the two of you pancakes, and you won’t be against it? You don’t need to eat this plate after all. Wash it and use it directly as a mirror."
Because they knew that the two of them would definitely die after meeting Xu Fu, Bai Wuqiu couldn't hold back their face to grab food from these two half-dead people. He could only say sarcastic remarks over and over again, but it suddenly stopped halfway through. Looking back at Wu Mian, who was looking at Mingren Zhi, he said to himself: "Bai Wuqiu, if you don't scold the street well, how did you learn this little white face? It's a sin to speak so meanly..."
Just as they were eating and drinking with Han and Jiang, a mighty team appeared in the distance. In front of the team, there were cavalrymen clearing the way, looking at the specifications of one of the large sedan chairs. This team is already the king's reliance, and the one sitting in the sedan should be the king who was on an equal footing with Cheng Yaojin.
Originally, the team was going to keep going along the official road, but when they passed by Wu Mian and the returnees, the team suddenly stopped. Then, a fat man in his thirties walked down from the sedan chair. With the help of the **** and the maid, the fat man came to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui.
"Do you dare to ask if they are some of the immortals who lived in His Highness Cheng Yaojin's mansion back then?" Although the big fat man's ostentation was not small, he was very polite when he spoke. It's just that when he spoke, his eyes glanced at the leftovers on the table, intentionally or not. His nose twitched a few times involuntarily, and he was almost attracted by the aroma.
When the big fat man came over, he recognized at a glance that he was the uncle of the current emperor, the fourth son of the previous emperor, Li Jian, who was named King of Lujiang. After Cheng Yaojin himself wrote a letter to resign the king of the two kings, almost all the officials in Chang'an City cut off communication with him. Only this King of Lujiang, Li Jian, occasionally photographed the eunuchs and brought some famous food from all over the world.
It's not how good the relationship between Li Jian and Cheng Yaojin is, it's just that this King of Lujiang has been eating and drinking in his life. As long as there is something in the field, he is the first to ask the order to deal with it in person. After returning to Beijing, he brought famous food to the prefectures, although Cheng Yaojin's market was gone. However, all the officials above the third grade of Chang'an gave it away, and Lao Cheng's share was not bad.
Because of this affection, in the last two years of Cheng Yaojin, Bai Wuqiu scolded the officials who came and went at the gate every day, but he stopped when he saw the brigade of King Lujiang.
Now that I saw the King of Lujiang here, the old guy smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to be immortal. We are just eating and drinking in the Shuangwangfu. I think it was eight years ago when His Highness passed by the Shuangwangfu. We met once when we met. Your Highness has a good memory, and I can still remember what happened eight years ago."
"I didn't remember it, the immortal chief didn't know anything. The portraits of you guys have already been drawn by the painter. In the past few years, every festival in the past few years, they have to be posted in the bedroom to relieve disasters and bring blessings... "When Li Jian was talking, Taotie had just cooked a serving of lamb. Seeing that the young man brought the meat to the side of Han Zhongxian and Jiang Hexian, the King of Lujiang frowned. At the moment, regardless of his identity as a prince, he stepped forward and blocked the young man's side. Afterwards, he smiled at Gui Bugui and continued: "Old Immortal Gui is too polite, Li Jian just came to say hello to Immortal, but your old man wants to keep meals. How embarrassing...how about chopsticks?"
Seeing a dignified prince, he even came over to rub it with the cheek. Even if he didn't return, he laughed dumbly, and then he heard the King of Lujiang and himself politely: "How embarrassing is this? Then Li Jian is disrespectful... You guys clean up here, what is that? That steamed fish Didn't you move a few chopsticks? Who told you to clean it up. Bring it to this king... What kind of dish is this just made? If you don't send it to this king, do you still have hospitality? Isn't this rude to Guixian Chang?"
Seeing that the King of Lujiang didn't treat himself as an outsider, Bai Wuqiu turned his head and said to Gui Bugui, "Old guy, who said he would be kept for dinner?"
