Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 638 637. Morning (two in one)

late at night.

According to Mr. Huqiu's previous instructions, he walked seventy miles in the direction of Liyang.

After seeing the boundary marker of Liyang, he stopped the car at the boundary marker.

He was well aware of these Mo Yun's tempers on the snow. After stopping the car at the boundary marker, he pulled out the crossbar to support the carriage. When he stepped on the ground, the soil seemed to be alive, arching a small muddy stable.

Not just for rain protection.

It is even covered with fine sand.

Although he himself can't keep quiet, if he says an earthquake, it will be an earthquake, and if he says a funeral in a sand waterfall, he will be buried in a sand waterfall.But these superficial applications are still not a problem.

The two horses lived in a comfortable stable on this rainy night.

Li Zhen sat on the crossbar of the carriage, put his legs on the beam, and yawned lazily.

The rain near the boundary marker was blocked by something invisible and intangible in mid-air, and none of it fell on the car.

So there is no noise.

And this majestic sound of heavy rain is the top AMSR in later generations, and it is the easiest to help sleep.

Li Zhen is not sleepy.

He just squinted his eyes and enjoyed the rare tranquility of this world.

Maybe the sound of the rain is noisy, but the world is vast, and there are only these two people and two horses in the darkness, isn't it the quietest place.

The premise is...

Without being disturbed.

Looking at the road ahead in the darkness, he sighed helplessly.

At a distance of about a hundred steps ahead, a faint golden light appeared, blocking the empty air.

Then, something seemed to pass through the golden light.

Although the golden light did not block it, the outline of the thing appeared.

It's still a woman wearing a demon-scale celestial robe.

After passing through the golden light, he was blocked by a wall composed of four golden lights.

don't let her go.

She didn't go any further.

stood in place.

After confirming that she had no intention of moving forward, the wall of light disappeared.

Except for the wall in front of the remaining three sides, the second side forms the roof to prevent the sky from falling, and the third side forms a suspended "bench" under the woman.

It seems to say: "sit and wait".

Then, the woman shook her body, made an inexplicable movement of looking left and right, and then sat directly in that layer of golden light.

The golden light slowly dissipated.

The function of sheltering from wind and rain still exists.

Likewise, the wall blocking the way is there.

It's just to hide it so as not to disturb someone's rest.

Similarly, in the dark carriage, the little snake looked at the faint golden light in front of him, and finally chose to coil up his body and return to the darkness.

In this way, about an hour and a half passed.

The rain gradually stopped.

The evening wind blew in with a smell of branches and grass leaves.

The hut that sheltered the two horses from Moyun's snowfall also quietly returned to the ground, and without the stone pier on which the reins were tied, the two horses began to search for food in the dark on their own.

At this time, a movement came from inside the carriage:
"Taoist, what time is it?"

"It's halfway through the Yin hour."

"...Well, it's almost dawn?"

"Ah."

"call……"

Hearing this movement, there was a murmur of comfort or something from inside.

Then, Master Huqiu lifted the curtain in front of him.

She didn't wear shoes, and she stepped on the crossbar with white soap socks made of silk. She glanced at the figure in the distance and asked:
"When did you come?"

"An hour and a half ago."

"...If it appears next time, please notify me earlier."

"Ah."

Li Zhen responded.

Move the lungs but not the heart, listen to the left ear and catch the right ear.

The woman seemed a little dissatisfied. She turned her head and glanced at the Taoist priest who was still dozing off with squinted eyes. In the end, she didn't say anything and just returned to the car.

When he came out from the back door, he had already put on the bamboo hat on his head.

When the white shoes fell to the ground, the sticky yellow mud turned into dry hard soil.

Mr. Huqiu stepped on a dry road and came to the shadow step by step and asked:
"What's the matter?"

"Hee hee~"

Unlike the previous person, a coquettish voice came directly from the black figure:

"He's a handsome Taoist with delicate features~"

"..."

In the sky, a dry heat began to appear.

But the black shadow seemed to have nothing to investigate, and said to himself:

"As soon as I came here, he found me. He seemed to be afraid of disturbing your rest, so he stopped me here cruelly. But~ this caring little man knows how to protect me from the wind and rain, and also knows how to warn me Don't disturb you to take a rest... so just right and considerate~ I'm really envious~"

"Huh~"

The woman came from under the hat with a sarcastic smile:

"What? Did you see it?"

"So what if you like it? Are you willing to give it to me?"

"To you?"

The voice under the hat became more and more sarcastic:
"I'll share it with you, do you dare to ask for it?"

"..."

The voice suddenly fell silent.

"It's not that you haven't seen his ability, so what if I give it to you? He has always been curious about the appearance of the number one Luoshen in the world. Forget it, this time, I will take him for a while, so what about you? I want to see if you dare to see him."

The sarcasm in the woman's voice turned into playfulness:

"When the time comes, don't be afraid to come out to see him."

The black shadow was silent for a while, and the natural charm was gone from his emotions:

"Yu Wenhuaji will arrive in another day. In the past few days, Du Fuwei sent people to call for battle every day, and also sent envoys to give Chen a set of women's clothes, and gave Chen Ling a nickname called Grandma Chen. Chen Ling quickly I can’t hold back anymore, your strategy really worked.”

"normal."

There was no emotion in the woman's voice:
"Then Chen Ling was born with a cute appearance when he was young, and he was often thought of as a daughter, so these are the things that he can't hear the most in his life. The reason why Emperor Wen didn't reuse him back then was also because of these reasons. He didn't want people to know about the general who commanded an army. There was such a past that hurt the military prestige. Then let Du Fuwei work harder, force Chen Ling out early, and fill in the lives of those people from the Overseas Society, Golden Spear Army and Mingyue Xianzong .”

"it is good."

Black Shadow responded and said:

"What about you? After this battle, what will you do?"

"Don't worry about it."

The woman turned around and walked away.

And the black shadow quickly disappeared into the air.

Step by step, back to the carriage, Li Zhen opened his eyes and asked:

"My lord, is that person...?"

"So what?"

The voice is flat and straightforward.

But Li Zhen felt a chill on the back of his spine, and quickly shook his head:

"Nothing, nothing, just ask."

"..."

The woman didn't speak, just sat on the crossbar on the other side, looked at the two steeds that were looking for the fresh and juicy weeds after the rain, and said unhurriedly:
"You can say she is Luoshen, but you can also say she is not."

"Uh...what do you mean?"

"Luo Shen is going to die."

"..."

To be honest, Li Zhen really didn't expect that Master Huqiu could use such plain words to reveal the fact that the most beautiful woman in the world is going to die...

It was even a little unacceptable for a while.

First reaction is...

What a sad business year!

"What? Do you have an idea?"

Li Zhen, who was feeling sad for her friend, turned her head subconsciously...

His face turned pale.

When did this bamboo hat turn its head around?
Quickly shook his head:
"I'm not me without you, don't talk nonsense..."

"Ah……"

After the woman let out an extremely sarcastic laugh, she raised her left wrist, and that little black snake appeared on her wrist, spitting out a letter at him with its head held high.

"It's also Luoshen."

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, staring at the little snake that suddenly looked delicate, and subconsciously said:
"But the poor are not Xu Xian..."

"...?"

The woman was taken aback.

"Xu Xin?"

"No, no, it's Xu Xian... No, what do you mean, my lord?"

Li Zhen, who didn't dare to discuss this topic in depth, quickly skipped it.

The woman didn't pursue it anymore, anyway, this Taoist priest usually doesn't have a clue.

Flipping the wrist, the little snake hides in the sleeve.

She said unhurriedly:

"The demon-scale celestial garment is just a piece of scale armor of Zhu Jiuyin. But dragons cannot be headless, and every demon-scale celestial garment is actually an extension of that scale armor. Taoist, think about it, the scales Where is A now?"

"... Luoshen?"

"That's right, it's her."

The woman responded:
"In other words, she voluntarily became the host of this scale armor, allowing it to absorb her heart, life, bone marrow, and essence...to maintain its existence. At first, she just wanted revenge. But this worldly matter That's the case, if you give up, you will gain, and if you gain, you will lose. Yaolin Tianyi gave her the power of revenge, but after the revenge is completed, she will naturally have to fulfill the price of gaining power. Therefore, a very It's just a fair deal."

"...Although I don't know what kind of enmity it is, but according to my lord, it's this thing... Has Luoshen been controlled now?"

"good."

"The lord and it..."

"It's just a deal."

"..."

Turning her head to take a look, after seeing Taoist's frown, she chuckled lightly:
"The content of the transaction is that after I die, this body will belong to it."

"..."

Li Zhen's brows stretched at once:
"Then if you don't die..."

"Who knows."

The woman said in a nonchalant tone:

"Let's go, three miles to the north is the Liyang West Post Station. We will be there for two days, don't you want to see Luoshen? When you see the tricks of the immortals on the battlefield, you will be able to see That graceful material of Luoshen who danced all over the city from the hands of the national teacher back then."

Li Zhen was not attracted by the cakes she drew, but asked puzzledly:

"My lord came here just to watch the excitement?"

"What do you think?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the woman's tone:
"Think of it as a rest before entering Jiangdu. After arriving in Jiangdu, it will be a step-by-step barrier."

"Okay~"

Li Zhen responded and whistled directly.

Two horses with their heads down and gnawing grass ran over joltingly.

Familiarly harnessing the car, when the sky was already pale, he rushed to the station that seemed to be empty.

Before entering the door, he noticed someone inside.

"My lord, there are people inside."

"Well, just go in directly."

"... to kill in?"

Seeing the two gray-clothed men who had already appeared at the door, Li Zhen said something.

The bamboo hat is slightly tilted.

"Okay."

"..."

The successful Taoist shook his head quickly:
"I'm just joking~"

Looking at the opened gate of the post station, the carriage slowed down, and slowly entered it under the silent hands of two gray-clothed men.

Then, the gate of the post station was quickly closed, and the two men picked up the two stumps tied with ropes beside them, pressed the carriage's rut ​​on the official road, galloped all the way, and disappeared under the still dark sky.

……

The West Station has been occupied by Baiqisi.

There were fifty or sixty Baiqisi waiting in a small post station.

In fact, Li Zhen was more or less puzzled just now, why Lord Huqiu only needed to tell himself how to go to the boundary marker before going to bed last night, so he could come here directly for repairs, but why did he stop at the boundary marker in the middle of the night? .

But since entering the inn just now, and being respectfully saluted by a group of gray-clothed men, the gentle temperament on the woman's body has quietly transformed into a coercion that is not angry and self-imposing.

After she stepped into the station, Li Zhen saw a pile of bamboo tubes piled up like a mountain.

And then she read the news one after another, or picked up a pen to write, or gave orders in a low voice.And those gray-clothed men of Baiqisi ignored Li Laodao's existence and took orders from each other...

He probably understood.

possible……

These few days are a rare "holiday" for Master Huqiu.

No strife, no worries.

In addition to sleeping, every day is drinking tea and resting.

For a busy person, this is the best rest.

But what Li Zhen saw now was the other side of Mr. Huqiu.

That is the existence of Li Shilang, the leader of Baiqisi, who monitors the world for the emperor and is known as the Emperor's Eye.

Cold, unfeeling, absolutely rational, absolutely rational...

Li Zhen looked at it with emotion.

By this time, the sky had gradually brightened.

But still cloudy and damp.

The Taoist who had nothing to do looked at those orderly men... and at the figure in the bamboo hat at the desk...

After thinking for a while, he went straight into the back kitchen.

He moved, and a man in gray followed him.

Even when Li Zhen walked into the kitchen, she just stood at the door without blinking her eyes under that plain face...

Li Zhenxin said that you are afraid that I will poison your family leader or something.

But don't bother.

Take a look at the things in this room...

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

There are rice, meat, and various green vegetables that are rare in the Northland.

Such as basil.

"The tower is big."

hum.

The Baiqisi people in the house all looked at the kitchen in unison.

"nothing."

The woman who bowed her head at the desk said something, and everyone bowed their heads in unison.

……

Wash rice.

Wash the bacon and cured fish with rice washing water.

Li Zhen, with a layer of oil on his hands, took a kitchen knife and cut the bacon into cubes, and then broke the bacon into pieces.

Put oil in the pan, minced ginger, stir fry with bacon and fish.

Lots of minced ginger.

After frying one-third of the pot, pour two-thirds of the water directly into the pot.

Then pour the washed rice into the big pot.

After closing the wooden cover, he began to cut the perilla leaves.

Cut the perilla leaves into shreds and set aside.

Then he brushed past the man and walked out of the kitchen.

But the man went straight into the kitchen, and when he came out, he still had a bowl in his hand.

With water and bacon, I filled a small bowl and drank it in front of Li Zhen.

The corner of the Taoist's mouth twitched, and he said angrily:
"Can a poor man be poisoned?"

But the man didn't make a sound.

Not long after, a scent of porridge and bacon wafted out of the yard.

Li Zhen didn't go in at all, and said to the man:
"Open the lid and take a look, don't overcook the porridge. Turn the wooden spoon several times to avoid sticking to the bottom. Add water if there is not enough water, and cut the kelp that Pindao soaked in the basin into shreds. The thinner the better. "

The man nodded silently and walked into the kitchen.

Soon, a pot of kelp shreds was brought out by him.

Li Zhen took a look and nodded:

"Bring salt, clear sauce, vinegar, and fire chopsticks."

The man went into the kitchen again with the basin in hand.

Then he held the basin in one hand, and the fire chopsticks were still stuck in the kelp shreds in the basin.And the other hand came out holding three jars.

"Pour out the clear sauce."

"Pour vinegar...Okay, that's all."

"A sprinkle of salt...that's enough."

"Cut the ginger into pieces, burn... just pour the oil with half the amount of vinegar, and when the oil smokes, pour it on the minced ginger."

Another cauldron was lit.

Soon, there was another sizzling sound in the kitchen.

Li Zhen stood at the door and said directly:
"Pour it directly into the basin, and then use chopsticks to start mixing. Don't grab it with your hands, I don't think your hands will be buried~"

The man didn't make a sound, and quickly finished a pot of cold seaweed shreds, and put some in his mouth.

He glanced at the Taoist with a little surprise.

But Li Zhen just pointed at the cauldron:

"Congee. Boil water, distill bun~"

So, half an hour later, under the still slightly cloudy weather, Li Zhen walked to the gate of the station:

"Everyone, it's time to eat."

The eyes of dozens of people directly locked on Li Zhen.

The bamboo hat was also raised.

The Taoist shrugged his shoulders:

"Come here, bring a bowl for the adults... Oh yes, bring a bowl for the poor, and share the rest among yourselves."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Nobody moved.

Obviously, Li Zhen has no prestige here.

It was the woman who closed the last scroll, put it in a bamboo tube, and said:
"Let's go after eating."

"Yes."

Everyone responded, and each walked out of the house with their own bamboo tubes.

Soon, two trays were brought over.

Li Zhen glanced at the woman who had already taken off her bamboo hat, and then glanced at the woman who was silently drinking porridge from a bowl in the yard, sandwiching the shredded kelp in the bowl on the ground, and nibbling on the fumigated hot pancakes. The same old people as Qiao's compound...

He shook his head helplessly:

"There is no need for a table, why bother."

The woman said nothing, took a piece of kelp with her chopsticks, tasted it, took another mouthful of the delicious porridge with soft rice grains and spicy perilla, and nodded in satisfaction:
"Ah."
