Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 490: There is a quick way
Qiao Yong has successfully brought the fleet home. Strictly speaking, it is not a violation of his promise, but when he thought about it, he said that if there were any consequences, he would bear them all. In the end, he did bear the consequences. , but didn't hold it.
Although his brothers were not imprisoned, they did not receive the rewards they deserved. Regardless of whether they were disabled or not, they all lost their jobs. Although Qiao Yong was imprisoned, he was later released and his family members were homeless. The family and property are all around, but it feels like there is a thorn stuck in my heart, and I can't sleep or eat well.
What Qiao Yong said about "exerting a little bit of effort" was not just words. Ji Yuan and the old beggar could see something from the current situation of the Qiao family. Not only was the gold and silver scattered, the Qiao family originally had a large number Most of Fei's farm property has also been divided. Although the Qiao family will not go hungry now, it is absolutely impossible to have good food and clothing before, and they still have to work with their hands.
The process of understanding Qiao Yong is also the process of understanding Daxiu. In general, although Emperor Daxiu longed for the elixir, he was not headstrong and refused to listen to advice.
As for the matter of seeking elixirs, it was left to the former Emperor Dazhen to do it. Because the immortal way was illusory, it was indeed not a serious job. There are still some people who understand, at least they all understand that there are real gods in the world who can reach the sky, so asking for elixirs is not just a dream.
At this moment, Qiao's old servant Qiao De came from outside and said something to the living room.
"Sir, my wife said that dinner is ready. Can you serve it?"
Qiao Yong looked at Ji Yuan and the old beggar after hearing this.
"Chief Ji, Immortal Lu, how about we have dinner now?"
The old beggar smiled.
"Hey, the old beggar has been waiting for your words for a long time. Mr. Ji and I have not had any water for many days, and we are so hungry that our chests are touching our backs!"
"Oh oh oh, Ade, hurry up and serve the meal, hurry up and serve the meal. Is the dining room ready?"
"Okay, okay, I've already cleaned up. I'll go to the kitchen first, and I can take the two immortals there!"
After saying this, the old servant Qiao De bowed his hands towards Ji Yuan and the old beggar in the living room, took a few steps back, and then turned around and left.
Ji Yuan watched thoughtfully as the only servant of the Qiao family left. In his blurry vision, he could see that Qiao De was extremely energetic. He turned his gaze to the old beggar and found that he was also looking at the departing man. elder.
Then the old beggar's eyes turned around and met Ji Yuan's eyes. The two of them looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.
"Two immortals, please come with me to the dining hall!"
Qiao Yong has stood up and extended his hand at the door to invite him.
A moment later, in the Qiao family dining hall, the entire Qiao family, as well as two guests, Ji Yuan and the old beggar, all sat down at a large round table. The only one standing was the old servant Qiao De.
The old beggar glanced around the dining room and could see some remaining spider webs and other objects. When Ji Yuan moved his nose, in addition to smelling the fragrance of the food, he could also smell a smell of damp dust, which was usually swept away. The smell comes later.
It seems that the dining hall has not been used for a long time. This time it was specially cleaned.
There are a total of ten dishes on the round table, and there are naturally a lot of fresh vegetables. The most conspicuous ones are a large braised fish and two large plates of white chicken. A bottle of wine is the dinner hosted by the Qiao family.
Everyone at the table was paying attention to Ji Yuan and the old beggar. No one moved their chopsticks. Mrs. Qiao and the grown-up Qiao eldest son could still look at each other, but the two younger children were all staring at each other. With those two plates of chicken.
Qiao Yong personally filled Ji Yuan and the old beggar's wine cups with wine and said politely.
"Two immortals, use your chopsticks! It is my Qiao family's blessing that you can come to my Qiao family!"
Ji Yuan takes a look at the old beggar.
"Well, Mr. Lu, aren't you so hungry that your chest is touching your back? Please use it."
"Hey, hey, that old beggar is not welcome! Tsk, tsk, tsk, these two plates of chicken, the old beggar likes this best!"
The old beggar was naturally not restrained. Under the eager eyes of the two young children of the Qiao family, he took away one chicken butt, and then took another one away and brought it to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, this is a good thing. It is commonly known as phoenix tail meat in the market. This is for you."
Ji Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no, a gentleman doesn't take away what others like. Mr. Lu can just eat it. Ji doesn't like this one."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a few slices of green vegetables from the middle soup basin and put them into his mouth. The delicious flavor overflowed from the chewing. It was obvious that the vegetable soup was made with chicken soup and was very delicious.
"Everyone eats and entertains guests, but there is no reason for the master to watch."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan stretched out his chopsticks and picked up two more chicken drumsticks, but this time he put them into the bowls of the two children. The two children immediately looked at Qiao Yong, and when they saw the latter nodding, they said directly with a smile on their faces. I grabbed the chicken leg with my hands, dipped it in soy sauce and started to eat it.
"Yes, yes, we eat too, we eat too."
As soon as Qiao Yong spoke, everyone in the Qiao family started to use their chopsticks. The atmosphere in the dining hall quickly became lively, and the children's laughter added a lot of life.
……
In the middle of the night, the Qiao family had all rested. Ji Yuan and the old beggar sat alone at the stone table in the courtyard of the guest room, one raising his head to admire the moon, and the other closing his eyes to rest.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Qiao family is in decline, the house is still good, and there is no problem in tidying up the guest rooms.
At some point late at night, Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze from admiring the moon, and the old beggar opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
A breeze blew by, and the two immortals were no longer in front of the stone table.
There is a small alley behind the Qiao family mansion. At this moment, Qiao De jumped over the courtyard wall lightly like a night owl, and then landed in the alley outside the courtyard. He touched the ground on his toes and bent his body slightly. The whole process was silent.
"Good Qinggong!"
Zhongzheng's gentle voice sounded faintly, startling Qiao De, who thought he was unaware of the ghost. He turned around and found Ji Yuan and the old beggar standing there against the wall of Qiao's courtyard.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, allowing Qiao De to clearly see the smiles on Ji Yuan and the old beggar's faces.
"Ji is very curious. If Mr. Lu and I don't come after the Immortal Tour Conference, what will happen to the Qiao family? How will you, Qiao De, get along?"
The old man's expression was uncertain. After changing several times, he raised his head and gritted his teeth.
"I don't know the date of the Immortal Travel Conference. I only know that if no immortal comes before next autumn, I, Qiao De, will try my best to **** the master and his family out of Kyoto at the risk of my life. I will have my own place to stay in the ends of the world. ! ”
The old beggar said with a "haha" smile.
"Unexpectedly, he is a double-dealer, and he is somewhat loyal!"
Joad shook his head.
"The Immortal has been praised too much. Although I, Qiao De, admit that I have never done anything to harm the Qiao family, in the final analysis, I am disloyal to the master."
"Humph, we are not part of the Qiao family, so how can we be disloyal? Where are you going? The Celestial Master's Office? You are so trivial, but you still want to hide it from me and Mr. Ji?"
The old beggar sneered and asked. With a flick of his finger, a sachet flew out of Qiao De's arms. He pinched it with his fingers. There should be a talisman inside.
Joad didn’t hide it either.
"You two are really masters, and I won't tell lies. I am indeed going to the Heavenly Master here. I am busy at home. It seems that I have nothing to do, but in fact, how can I just ignore it and just change from Ming Dynasty to Ming Dynasty?" It’s just dark, but it’s true that he didn’t do anything harmful.”
Ji Yuan nodded.
"That's true, but if we don't come before next fall, I don't know what will happen..."
After sighing, Ji Yuan said to Qiao De.
"Go ahead and do whatever you have to do."
Qiao De was stunned.
"Well, those two immortals..."
The old beggar said angrily.
"Of course we will go back and rest. We haven't slept or eaten for several days and nights. After a good meal, we are so sleepy. If you are not a bastard, I am always a beggar and have gone to bed early!"
"Hahaha, Ji has finally figured it out. A good meal from Mr. Lu is just two chicken butts and a chicken head, plus half a bowl of soup and a few dishes. If I treat you to dinner next time, Ji It’s a standard.”
"You, you, you, Jiyuan, how can you say such a thing!?"
"Hahahahaha..."
Amidst the laughter in his ears, Qiao De found that Ji Yuan and the old beggar were getting fainter and fainter in front of his eyes, and finally disappeared. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked around again. There was indeed no one there.
After hesitating for a long time, Qiao De quickly left and headed towards the Tianshi Office in the capital.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Qiao Yong, who had gotten up early, naturally could not sell vegetables today. Instead, he took Ji Yuan and the old beggar straight to the Heavenly Master.
As an extremely important institution for the big show, Tianshi is located in the imperial city where every inch of land is precious, right next to the palace.
Different from the relatively secretive state of the Celestial Master's Office in various places, the Celestial Master's Office in the capital is magnificent and as grand as possible.
On the one hand, it's because almost no people can come in around the palace anyway; on the other hand, it's also because you can't build it too plainly in a place where the emperor occasionally goes, right?
There were several guards standing guard outside the Tianshi Office. When they saw Qiao Yong and the two people behind him approaching with great purpose, they all became alert.
"Stop! What are you doing? We know that people cannot be allowed to approach this place casually. Find Shuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan.com and retreat quickly!"
Qiao Yong quickly stopped and bowed to them.
"Two men of high rank, I was originally Qiao Yong, the admiral of our navy in Chaoxi Town, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief and envoy of the East China Sea Xunxian Fleet. Back then, I had received instructions from the Immortal to lead the fleet back to the court. Now the Immortal As promised, I have brought two immortal leaders to the Celestial Master to find the Master!"
"Qiao Yong!?" "Admiral of the Navy of West Town?"
"There seems to be such a person!"
"Are these two immortals behind you?"
There are countless strange people in the Celestial Master, but not many are qualified to be called "immortal". Other "immortal masters" are official honorifics, and many people are actually called mage more appropriately.
"But the Imperial Master is not with the Heavenly Master. Will you guys come back tomorrow?"
Ji Yuan smiled.
"Ji knows that the Imperial Master and Emperor Daxiu are at the Chenghuang Temple in Kyoto."
"Huh!?"
Several guards were on guard, but before they could ask anything, Ji Yuan asked the old beggar.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think we should do?"
"Hey, it's too troublesome to come and go, so let's find a faster way."
Ji Yuan and the old beggar decided before they came that this time the matter could be a little bigger.
While the old beggar was saying this, his magic power was circulating all over his body. He stretched out his hands to point to the sky and the earth, and wrote spiritual texts on the palm of his left hand. The next moment, he patted the ground lightly, and he was extremely focused. Open your mouth.
"The great show of Kyoto City God, come and see me soon!"
"Bang..."
Ripples like water rippled away, and a faint whirlwind of green smoke emerged in front of the old beggar while rotating.
Wearing a soap robe and a black gauze on his head, the light behind him is shining, but his face is horrified...
Daxiu Kyoto City God's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Ji Yuan and the old beggar in disbelief.
