Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 69 Earth Fire Burns the City (Seventh)

At night.

The moonlight shines through the thin window paper and shines on the imperial desk filled with memorials. In the huge study, the only sound is the rustling of pages being turned.

Leng Zhu held a stack of memorials in his hand, his eyes were sleepy, and he would lick it quietly from time to time. His chest was also pressed on the memorials, and his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, nodding from time to time.

Jiang Yi's eyes were still clear. She was flipping through the books on the table with her right hand, and holding a small bamboo pendant in her left hand. She flipped it dexterously with her five fingers, and images that could be remembered for a lifetime appeared and disappeared on her fingertips.

"The eighth level of Qi Refining... Revealing the saint in front of others... Is it fun to bully the juniors? You will never change your nature..."

A soft murmur sounded, very small, but very clear in the imperial study room.

Leng Zhu suddenly woke up and thought that the princess had just given the order, so he nodded quickly and said:

"I'll do it right away... By the way, what did the princess say? I was distracted and didn't hear clearly."

Jiang Yi frowned slightly. She had grown up with Leng Zhu since childhood, but she was not angry with this silly maid. She said softly:

"I just said that you are the oldest and it's time to get married. This time we sent three people to Jingtai. Yao and Yu were beaten half to death. They lack someone to take care of them. Otherwise..."

a bolt from the blue!

My Mr. Quanquan...

Leng Zhu stood blankly on the spot. Before Jiang Yi could finish speaking, he said with tears in his eyes:

"Princess, Leng Zhu can't let go of the princess. If the princess is gone, Leng Zhu's life will be meaningless..."

A lot of chirping.

Jiang Yi snorted softly, and after Leng Zhu finished crying and feeling aggrieved, she waved her hand:

"Okay. It's okay to doze off in front of me. When you follow me into the Prince Consort's Mansion, you doze off in front of the Prince Consort. With Zuo Lingquan's bad temper, I won't beat your butt to pieces."

Spanking…

Leng Zhu's face turned red and he said shyly: "Leng Zhu knows his mistake. By the way, it seems that the princess hasn't seen Young Master Zuo in a few days."

Jiang Yi put the pendant away, her face turned red unnoticeably, and her eyes looked a little strange.

Since the last close contact in the stone room, Jiang Yi found that her mind was very confused. Rationally, she felt that she did not like Zuo Lingquan, but just rewarded him; but when she dreamed about it at midnight, she always thought of that hug and kiss. scene.

However, whether he likes it or not, Zuo Lingquan is determined to be his consort, and both parties accept this fact.

Jiang Yi simply stopped thinking about it. According to her own temper, she remained as usual and said displeasedly:

"Why should I see him? What's so good about him? There are so many mistakes that I can't even finish them."

Leng Zhu put down the memorial, walked behind him, rubbed Jiang Yi's shoulders, and said softly:

"I heard that Mr. Zuo showed off his great power in Qihuang Valley today and knocked down that guy on Mount Fuqi in one fell swoop. It's a pity that the princess didn't see it with her own eyes."

Jiang Yi is the eldest princess and represents the imperial court, so she will definitely not be able to attend. However, compared to Zuo Lingquan appearing in front of others, she was more concerned about Cheng Jiujiang's attitude at this time.

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment and rubbed her forehead worriedly:

"Cheng Jiujiang acted wildly in public today. He obviously suspected that the Imperial Master was ill, and his desire to replace him was written on his face. Fortunately, Zuo Lingquan was smart and stepped forward to resolve the matter."

Leng Zhu understood Jiang Yi's thoughts best. When he heard the words "Fortunately, Zuo Lingquan is smart," he understood that the princess already thought that there was something wrong with the imperial master and she would not be able to show up again.

Leng Zhu also stayed in Qihuang Valley to serve Jiang Yi when he was a child. He was also a disciple of Qihuang Valley. She hesitated and asked:

"Princess, if the Imperial Master is really... what will you do?"

Jiang Yi shook her head - she didn't dare to think about this. As a ruler, she couldn't possibly raise a bunch of useless losers; but as an ordinary person, everyone in Qihuang Valley was her mentor. She had no choice at all and could only hope that Qihuang Valley could survive the disaster on her own and give the court a reasonable answer.

Seeing that the princess didn't reply, Leng Zhu stopped asking. It was getting too late and he wanted to persuade Jiang Yi to go back to the palace to rest. However, he suddenly heard some noise outside the royal study:

"Look over there..."

"Oops, it seems like something went wrong..."

Jiang Yi frowned, thinking there was a fire in the palace, but when she looked around, she could see a large patch of dim yellow light through the window paper.

Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu were startled, and quickly stood up and ran to the door of the imperial study room, looking up outside.

I could only see a corner of the city at the end of my field of vision, and the entire city was ablaze in the night.

Flames burst out above thousands of houses, and thick smoke covered the sky. The scene looked like a Shura purgatory punished by the god of fire!

"Is it Linhefang? Why is there such a big fire again?"

Leng Zhu's eyes were shocked. The reason why he said it was because there was an inexplicable big fire in Linhefang more than 20 years ago, which almost burned down the entire city.

As the regent princess, Jiang Yi was naturally anxious when she saw such a huge fire under the emperor's feet. She said in a deep voice: "As soon as the fire appeared, let the surrounding policemen and fire diving teams go to rescue people..."

While speaking, Jiang Yi ran out without waiting for Leng Zhu to respond.

———

South bank of Wende Bridge, Zuofu.

In the courtyard of the east wing, Zuo Yunting was running around the house, packing various belongings, and kept muttering along the way:

"Lao Lu, am I good enough? I heard that you were leaving, so I made a special trip to my father to ask for a carriage to take you off. My father asked me to just take you out of the customs, but I didn't agree. You have to be sincere when you give it away. It's agreed upon I’ll give you the end, I’ll give you the end…”

Outside the room, the black donkey was still chewing the bonsai that was almost clean.

Lao Lu was wearing a bamboo hat and sitting under the eaves to enjoy the cool air. Not only was he not angry at Zuo Yunting's words, he was also very pleased and said:

"If you have this intention, I will be satisfied. I am afraid that my life will be too long and I will send you away in the end."

"Hey - do you know how to talk? By the way, the prince brother from Qihuang Valley seems to be going outside with the team tomorrow. We just happen to be walking with them and can be companions on the way. We have the third uncle of Qihuang Valley to guide us. Team, the road is safe..."

Lao Lu chuckled and did not respond.

Lao Lu has found Zuo Lingquan, and the skills have been handed over to Zuo Lingquan. He has done everything he can, and leaves the rest to God. It's time for him to leave.

Although this trip failed to accept a genius like Zuo Lingquan as a disciple, the juniors with good intentions met two - one was powerless but never forgot the old and weak in times of danger; the other was mediocre in cultivation but Not willing to sacrifice his life to repay kindness.

Both of their qualifications belong to Low Grade, but their character is the best in the world.

Lao Lu can't teach Zuo Lingquan, but these two little kids can still teach him, and they can still enjoy being masters before their time comes.

As for how much they can teach and how far they can go, it depends on their own destiny. It doesn't matter even if they don't succeed.

In the past, Lao Lu thought that spiritual practice was for the purpose of immortality, but now he discovered that the so-called pursuit of immortality was just to see more of the scenery on the road. As long as you walk through it and see it without leaving any regrets, it doesn't matter how far you go.

While the two were chatting, a red fire light lit up in the distant night, and the sound of gongs was heard in the distance.

Lao Lu turned his eyes and frowned slightly; he shook his head and sighed, put down the tea bowl, leaned on the back of the chair, and secretly pinched the spell with his right hand in his sleeve.

next moment.

In the clear sky thousands of miles away, thunderbolts resounded, and then dark clouds rolled in, gathering with the force of overwhelming the city...
