Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 555: Deja Vu
Having Ji Yuan by Wang Li's side made Zhang Rui very reassured about Wang Li's safety. Now that Wang Li has been released from prison, his mentality is even more relaxed.
"How about it? Apart from drugging, have they done anything to harm you?"
The three of them were talking as they walked, and Zhang Rui's tone was a bit offbeat. She hadn't gone to the prison to see Wang Li in the recent period, and she didn't know what happened next.
Wang Li looked scared when he thought about this.
"Of course! You don't know, they actually want to fake an accident in which I failed to escape from prison and was killed!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Rui looked at Wang Li up and down.
"Tsk... Just you? Escape from prison? They think so highly of you, you have to be trusted by the people above to do this!"
"Oh, a few vicious prisoners in the cells around me were also released. They wanted to fake the accident of everyone escaping from prison, and then killed me too. Fortunately, Mr. Ji was here, otherwise I wouldn't have left. You won’t be able to get out of this prison in Changyang Mansion!”
Zhang Rui subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan on the other side, who had a calm expression on his face and just shook his head and smiled.
"Hey, hey, aren't we going to a restaurant to eat? Or are we going to another place?"
Wang Li suddenly realized that the three of them had not stopped in front of the two restaurants they were passing by. The smell aroused him and he turned around frequently. If Ji Yuan and Zhang Rui hadn't stopped, they would have been unable to walk. .
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you don't even think about what you look like?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had been in the prison for so long and had not even washed himself when he came out. Of course, he didn't look decent. He also realized that the people around him looked at him strangely, and he felt a little ashamed. The earth wants to hide its face.
……
In the early morning two days later, a small boat set off from Changyangfu Water Port and sailed leisurely along the Tongcheon River towards Gyeonggi Prefecture.
Now is the time when the weather is freezing, and cargo ships are relatively rare. There are only a few ships on the river. Soon after sailing out of Changyang Fucheng, you can see the white snow on the river bank.
It is still the first lunar month, but the Lantern Festival has passed. Ji Yuan has really spent a new year in prison this time. Of course, he can feel the changes in the alternation of the old and new years, but Wang Li and other prisoners have no feeling at all. In the prison, Not even an extra piece of meat was added to the meal.
Zhang Rui, wearing a hooded white velvet cloak, stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on the river and the white snow on both sides. In the cabin of the boat, Ji Yuan stood on the long table at one end facing the other. While revising the essay "Wandering in Dreams", Wang Li was meditating **** the other side and writing a story about a scholar in prison.
Originally Ji Yuan did not intend to bring Wang Li with him, but Wang Li wanted to see the true ending of the story "White Deer Yuan" so that he could truly complete the story, so he persuaded Ji Yuan.
There are two boatmen at the stern of the boat, two brothers. One is rocking the oar, and the other is boiling water on the stove to make tea.
After Ji Yuan corrected some inconsistencies in the written text, he felt that the article "Wandering in Dreams" was smoother than before, and he was in a better mood. He put away his pen and raised his head. In front of him, Wang Li was still writing, even on the draft. After correcting his previous words and looking at the paper, Ji Yuan only felt a "terrible" feeling. Looking at the bow of the ship again, Zhang Rui stood there like a sculpture, not knowing what he was thinking.
Obviously, although Zhang Rui has practiced the Taoism and his Taoism has improved a bit compared to before, he does not attach much importance to his own cultivation. He frequently leaves the realm under his jurisdiction without any psychological burden. He feels that even if his spirituality is gone, It's okay to be a ghost. Ji Yuan actually appreciates Zhang Rui's seemingly unmotivated mentality. He dares to love and hate, and he will not regret his choice. He is more free and easy than Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, there seems to be something under the river."
Zhang Rui's voice reached Ji Yuan's ears, but the people around him didn't notice it at all, and Zhang Rui didn't turn around.
Ji Yuan picked up a piece of rice paper on the table, which was covered with fine calligraphy. As he picked up the page, smoke was dragged out of his sight.
"Don't worry, it's the patrolling Yaksha in the Tongtian River. He noticed that you, a ghost-like person, was standing on the bow of the boat, so he just stayed a little distracted."
It’s not surprising that Zhang Rui was discovered by a yaksha underwater. In terms of Taoism, any yaksha in Tongtian River is better than her in Taoism.
At this moment, under the water, there were two ferocious-looking Yakshas holding green steel guns, following the boat. Their long hair spread out in the river, feeling the changes in the river current.
The rocking of the boat stirred up the water waves behind it, and from the bottom of the river it looked like the light was being stirred. The water in the pot on the stove was already boiling. The boatman quickly poured the boiling water into the teapot with the tea leaves. They were not particular about washing tea. After pouring the boiling water, they arranged the tea sets and sent them to the front.
Yaksha's hearing was so sensitive that they could clearly hear the sound of water being poured into the pot on the boat underwater.
"Haha, Mr. Ji, Mr. Wang, the tea is ready. Please use it slowly. The boiling water is boiling and needs to be cooled down!"
"Okay, thank you boatman, go ahead."
"Hey, sir, call me if you need something!"
"Yeah."
The two underwater Yashas perked up and looked at each other.
"Is it Mr. Ji?"
"There is no mistake. It is indeed Mr. Ji's voice. You follow the ship and I will report it!"
A Yaksha left immediately, as if melting into the water but much faster than the water flow, and quickly disappeared from Ji Yuan's perception.
Zhang Rui on the boat looked back at Ji Yuan, who was pouring tea and had no special reaction, but she didn't believe that Mr. Ji didn't notice.
About evening, a boat twice as big as the boat Ji Yuan and others were in approached. Zhang Rui could see the smoke floating on the boat from a distance, while Ji Yuan had already smelled the fragrance with the wind.
The boat on the opposite side seemed to be traveling very fast. It took only a moment to see a man and a woman wearing brocade robes standing side by side on the bow of the boat. The boat was still more than ten feet away. Already saluting this way.
"My nephew Yingfeng!" "My nephew Ying Ruoli!"
"Meet Uncle Ji!"
This scene seemed familiar, Wang Li couldn't remember it, but Zhang Rui remembered it after thinking for a moment, while Ji Yuan walked outside the cabin in a few steps and nodded to the two of them.
"No need to be polite."
As he said that, Ji Yuan looked around their cabin.
"What's delicious?"
Ying Feng smiled and stepped aside, revealing the scene in the cabin behind. Two water monsters in human form were arranging things on the table. There were pots and plates, and everything was steaming.
"Uncle Ji, and a few others. It's freezing cold, and there's nothing more comfortable than warmth and a meal. There are fresh fish from the Tongtian River and hot pot."
"Yes! There is progress!"
Ji Yuan praised Ying Feng, saying that Long Zi must have come up with this idea.
So Ji Yuan got on the opposite boat alone, while Zhang Rui and Wang Li stayed on their own boat with two boatmen to eat, but they were also given sumptuous dishes, including hot pot, and even Ji Yuan Save a packet of spicy powder.
"Hey, thanks to Mr. Ji, we have a really rich dinner tonight!"
"Yes, there is such a good wine, tsk tsk!"
The tables between the two boatmen and Zhang Rui were separated. Except for clinking glasses with Wang Li at first, they never came again. As for the cold Zhang Rui, he did not dare to talk to him more.
Wang Li chewed the food in his mouth, looked at the ship that was also anchored, and whispered to Zhang Rui.
"Hey, I suddenly remembered that we have met these two people before, so I thought they seemed familiar to each other. They have been together for many years. Isn't it amazing that these two are so handsome and so young?"
Wang Li looked at Zhang Rui, just like the girl Zhang in front of him. After so many years, Wang Li had frost on his temples, but Zhang Rui had not changed at all.
Zhang Rui symbolically picked up a vegetable with chopsticks, put it into his mouth to chew, then spit it into his palm, nodded and whispered to Wang Li.
"I know, that woman is Empress Ying from Tongtianjiang River!"
"Empress Ying?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment without reacting, and then suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"This..."
Before he could say anything, Wang Li, who was glared at by Zhang Rui, held back his words before he asked again carefully.
"What about the man? His surname is also Yingai!"
“Who are you asking me to ask? Anyway, it’s pretty awesome!”
On the other side of the boat, Ying Ruoli and Ying Feng looked a little more serious, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com Basically, Ying Ruoli was talking and Ji Yuan was listening. What they were talking about was not trivial matters, but the news that Lao Long ordered someone to bring back a while ago.
"None of the Dragon Lords can find the exact origin of the Dragon Corpse Insect?"
"Yeah, but when they were clearing out the last batch of dragon corpse worms visible in the deserted sea, one of the dragon corpse worms had some skills but still had no consciousness. My father cast a spell to pinch out a ray of yearning light, trying to use it. We continued to trace the source, but there was no sense of involvement in this divine light, and it was not in the shape of an insect, but in the shape of a strange monster that we had never seen before. Although it collapsed and dispersed immediately, it gave several dragon kings a brief feeling. The feeling of depression. ”
As he spoke, Ying Ruoli cast a spell to gather a ball of water, using it to transform into the shape reflected in the old dragon's legendary object.
Ji Yuan looked at the change in the shape of the water and felt that it was a bit strange. It had velvet and wings, long hind limbs, a big mouth and fangs, but the specific body shape was unclear.
"Uncle Ji, several Dragon Lords are somewhat concerned about this matter. My dad thinks you might know what this is."
Ji Yuan frowned and looked at the water-shaped object transformed by the dragon girl. He really couldn't tell what it was.
"I really can't see this trick. If I were there at the time, I might be able to guess based on that feeling. At this moment, the water pattern has only its own shape, and it is so blurry that it is impossible to tell."
Hearing this, Long Nu couldn't think of anything. Just as she was about to remove the spell, Ji Yuan suddenly had a guess.
"Maybe Ji can try other methods."
Ji Yuan suddenly remembered that he still had something in his hand. Although it might not have any accurate results, it could help him understand a direction. However, the new method was not suitable for use on the ship.
About half an hour later, Ji Yuan followed Long Zi and Long Nu to the water mansion. After passing for a while, majestic voices came from the main hall
"Ho... I am Haechi, who dares to disturb me here? I am Haechi, who dares to disturb me here?"
