Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 308 307. Twenty-two Nine

No one thought there was anything wrong with Liu Wenmao's attitude.

Maybe they just feel sorry for him... After all, just a sneer has offended a person who can't be offended.

But no one would think that he is an official, and he is ashamed to be with a white-clothed man with such a flattering attitude.

Whoever replaces it will have to be like this today.

This Xue Rulong, as Li Shilang's guard, does anyone in Luoyang City know?Who doesn't know?
And who is Li Shilang?

Not to mention the answers.

It is true that Liu Wenmao is just a small Shao Cheng, but after all, he is also an official.

Ordinary people have to obediently call out "Master" when they see him.At the same time, the benefits brought by this "Master" are countless.

Money, status, everything is brought by this official position?

But now if because of a sneer, this glory and wealth are lost...

That was as stupid as it could be.

Therefore, no one would laugh at Liu Wenmao, or even if they dared to laugh, they would not dare to express it publicly.

As for the character of the literati...

Is nephrite jade warm and fragrant important?
Therefore, in the face of Li Shilang's guardian evil star, this group of people can go as far as they can.At the same time, he turned his head occasionally and looked at Liu Wenmao standing respectfully beside Xue Rulong, with a sympathy flashing in his eyes.

But what about the real situation...

Although Xue Rulong was sitting, Liu Wenmao was standing bent over.

But the conversation between the two was not as flattering as they thought.

"In this way, you and I will have a suitable excuse for our chance meeting, right?"

The bowed Liu Wenmao's voice was cold.

Xue Rulong responded:
"Ah."

Gazing at the broken ice on the water, he said:

"Is the matter arranged?"

"Don't worry. When will the two of them be released?"

"Then you have to ask my adults."

Hearing this, Liu Wenmao frowned.

"What? You want to go back on your word?"

"That's not enough."

Xue Rulong sneered:
"It's just that I'm a servant on this matter, so it's hard to make a decision. Besides, if we really want to release those two people at this time, do you think they can hide after this matter is completed? It's better to be safe in the mansion. Don't worry, since it is cooperation, you must have a cooperative attitude. You are happy to see the civil strife in the human race, and since the goal has been achieved, then I advise you not to push it further."

"..."

Under Liu Wenmao's silence, Xue Rulong continued:

"This time, I will repeat my lord's intention again. Everything is just the idea of ​​the monster you arranged. First, what it does has nothing to do with you. Second, what it does has nothing to do with us. This time After the matter is completed, we will not disturb each other. When the matter is settled, your uninvited breach of the appointment will be cleared up. And the fate of the two fox monsters will naturally be resolved when His Majesty goes to Jiangnan next year. It will be up to them to decide."

Hearing this, Liu Wenmao's eyes were full of sarcasm, but he didn't say much, just nodded:

"Okay. Then when will we meet next time, and how will we arrange it?...Although I appreciate your carefulness. But I think that if you use this excuse of meeting by chance, people will be suspicious sooner or later, right?"

"There won't be a next time."

The man looking at the buoy shook his head:
"At least until I go to Jiangnan, there will be no next time. Just do your work well."

Immediately, there was no more words.

About half an hour later, Liu Wenmao, who was covered in cold sweat, returned to the team of his friends.

After taking a sip of a bowl of hot tea, he patted the table heavily:
"Bastard! You don't know how to prepare a bowl of hot tea in such a cold day!"

The servants trembled.

But the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Wenmao's phrase "things that rely on people's power".

……

"Predict what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down~"

We have already talked about the scene where Feng Qingyang taught Linghu Chong the Dugu Nine Swords. After a wonderful button, Li Zhen took pictures of Xingmu.

Then, amidst the compliments of a group of people saying "the Daoist has worked hard", he said:

"Everyone, tomorrow is the twenty-eighth day. It's almost the end of the year. On the twenty-ninth day, the poor will start to pray for the new year. Therefore, our book this year will talk about tomorrow. The twenty-ninth day I started taking a rest until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone wants to listen to the book, see you next year!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the minds of these guests, it took a while for the cold jokes that have been rotten on the street in later generations to realize that the "next year" that the Taoist priest said is only a few days away.

So he laughed out loud.

At the same time, I also understand that, indeed, many restaurants and gambling stalls in the city have been closed in the past few days.

Everyone should rest too.

Coupled with Li Zhen's words of "The poor Taoist is here to wish you an early year", although it was not in the right time, they also sent blessings one after another.

Then I asked about the opening time of the book tomorrow, and after getting a response that everything was business as usual, I said goodbye to Li Zhen and left.

There were no guests drinking tea this time, and everyone hurried home.

During the Chinese New Year, there are still some things to be busy at home.

People started to go out, Li Zhen handed over the front hall to Liu Ding, and couldn't wait to return to the wing.

then……

A basin of cold water was poured down.

Originally, when he thought that the stars should rise a lot this time, the reality slapped him directly.

There is only a shallow layer under the bottles of "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" and "Four Famous Captures".

There is no longer a book that has more than half of the price.

He reckoned, and reckoned that at this speed, it was actually not much different from two days ago.

It will take at least a month to summon a new guardian.

Then it's strange...

These two days...why?

What happened to cause the two books to be half full?

Recalling the changes in the past few days... After thinking about it, he found that there seemed to be only two unusual things.

First, he was the one who visited Xuan Suning.

In the first book after returning from Xiangshan, the number of stars suddenly began to increase dramatically.

Secondly, it is the complete version of "Nine Heads Case".

After the "Nine Heads Case" is finished... Could it be a reward for finishing the book?
After thinking about it, Li Laodao, who only had these two things wrong, became more and more puzzled.

While thinking about it, Liu Ding knocked on the door:
"Sir, Boss Chen, the money changer, is here."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen responded:
"Oh, here we come."

……

"Daoist, good luck."

"Boss Chen has worked hard and will make great achievements in the coming year."

"Hahaha, borrowed a long auspicious words."

After sending off the dental dealer who exchanged money, Li Zhen waved Liu Ding:

"After tidying up, just plug in the door and go."

"Understood, sir."

Liu Ding didn't even ask where Li Zhen was going, and Liu Ding responded.

And Li Zhenma didn't hold the horse, and after leaving the Chunyou Club, he went directly to a cloth village.

Xuan Suning said to let him wear new clothes...

The problem is that he has to have it.

No, hurry up and do one.

Taking advantage of the fact that the cloth shop is not yet closed, I invite an extra embroiderer, and the two of them start to work. If you give more money, they should be able to make it tomorrow.

After finding the cloth shop, Li Laodao, who had spent half an extra piece of clothing, came out after a while.

After he came out, he took the opportunity to stroll around the commercial street.

When I chatted with Liu Ding in the afternoon, I bought some things I needed for the Chinese New Year, and then I returned home.

This is his first year in Tai Sui.

It must not be too shabby.

Even if it's deserted, it's lively...that's the year.

……

On the [-]th, the Taoist was fine, and after two storytelling sessions, Chunyou Club closed.

……

Twenty-nine, early in the morning.

Before dawn, according to later generations, it was less than 4 o'clock in the morning, and Li Zhen got up.

After getting up, start boiling water.

Bring a pot of hot water to a boil, and add half a bucket of cold water to it.

He jumped directly into the barrel.

In fact, Taoist fasting and bathing are still very particular.Often fast for three days, five days.During this period, I can only eat vegetarian food, take a bath frequently, and even use "the tender willows of that year to scratch my body" and the like.What's more, you can't do any biased actions to prevent yourself from being "outright".

But when it came to Li Zhen, he didn't have that condition, and he couldn't pay that much attention.

The so-called bathing is equivalent to taking a bath and washing his hair by the way.

As for fasting... Last night, he still ate fried pork slices with meat oil and bitter vegetables.You have figured it out, okay?

The head and body were cleaned with bath beans bought at the market that were more than one grade lower than Pegasus City.

As soon as he came out, Li Laodao, whose hair was frozen into salted fish slices, put on the brand new dark blue sweater that was just made yesterday.

He is just a low-level monk, and the clothes he wears are just the lowest-level Nayi.

But we can't stop our old handsome Li.

Except for the hair because the weather is too cold, it looks like Shamat.

this face...

After looking at the bronze mirror, Li Laodao nodded in satisfaction.

Ok.

Who is not confused?

He quickly dried his hair in front of the charcoal brazier, inserted a newly bought poplar hairpin, combed the bun meticulously, and brought his Hunyuan towel.

He reckoned that he would not be able to wear the five-sacred crown, which represented the highest level of Taoism, in his life.

Everything was ready, and after confirming that he was not being rude, he quickly took a bite of the leftover minced meat porridge from last night.

There is food in the stomach, it is warm, and the spirit is also up.

Looking up at the sky, he led the old horse all the way out the door in the dark.

When we reached the south gate of Luoyang, the city gate was still open.

He was waiting not far away.

When the city gate opened, he rode on the old horse and slapped the horse's ass:

"drive."

From the south all the way to the west, in the direction of Fragrant Mountain, after walking for less than half an hour, they have already arrived at the foot of Fragrant Mountain.

At this moment, the empress has not come yet, and even the guards of honor are behind him because he came earlier this way.

At the foot of the mountain, he bowed and saluted:
"I'm a late learner, so don't blame me for my high performance."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Xuan Suning's voice sounded in his ears:

"Come here immediately. Burn incense with me."

"Follow the purpose of the high-level exercises."

Bowing again, he led the horse and walked towards the Jingzhen Palace halfway up the mountain.

While walking, he glanced at the direction of Longmen Mountain through Yi Que.

total darkness.
