Lanke Chess Edge

Qiao Yong also succeeded in bringing the fleet back home. Strictly speaking, it was not a breach of promise, but in his mind, he said that he could bear any consequences at the beginning, and he did bear the consequences, but Didn't catch it.

Although the brothers under him were not imprisoned, they did not get the rewards they deserved, and they lost their jobs regardless of whether they were disabled or not. Although Qiao Yong was imprisoned, he was released later, and his family had nothing to do with his wealth. Now, there is always a thorn in my heart, and I can't sleep or eat.

What Qiao Yong said of "doing a little bit of effort" is not just talking about it. Ji Yuan and the old beggar can see some from the current situation of Qiao's family. Most of them were also distributed. Although the Qiao family would not be starving now, it was absolutely impossible for them to be well-clothed and well-fed before, and they still had to work with their hands.

The process of getting to know Qiao Yong is also the process of getting to know Daxiu. Generally speaking, although Emperor Daxiu is eager to get the elixir, he is not self-willed and does not listen to advice.

As for the matter of seeking elixir, it was done by Emperor Dazhen in the past. Because the way of immortality is illusory, it is indeed not a proper job, but Daxiu has a celestial master after all, and most of the people are ignorant, but the upper class dignitaries still have some ideas about the way of immortality. I understand, at least everyone understands that there are really gods in the world who can reach the sky, so seeking pills is not purely a dream.

At this time, Qiao De, the old servant of the Qiao family, came from outside and said something to the living room.

"My lord, Ma'am said that dinner is ready, and asked if you could serve it?"

Qiao Yong looked at Ji Yuan and the old beggar upon hearing this.

"Ji Xianchang, Lu Xianchang, why don't we have dinner here?"

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 a drop of water for many days, and we are already so hungry that our chest is on our back!"

"Oh, Ade, hurry up and serve dinner, hurry up and serve dinner, is the dining hall ready?"

"Okay, okay, I've cleaned it up a long time ago, I'll go to the kitchen first, the master can take the two elders there!"

After saying that, the old servant Qiao De cupped his hands towards Ji Yuan and the old beggar in the living room, and took a few steps back before turning and leaving.

Ji Yuan watched thoughtfully as the only servant of the Qiao family left. From his blurred vision, he could see that Qiao De was full of blood. He turned his gaze to the old beggar and found that he was also looking at the old man who had left.

Afterwards, the old beggar's eyes turned and met Ji Yuan's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

"Second elders, please come with me to the dining hall!"

Qiao Yong had already stood up and reached out to invite him at the door.

A moment later, in the dining hall of Qiao's family, the entire family of Qiao's family, as well as two guests, Ji Yuan and the old beggar, were all seated in front of a big round table, and the only one standing was the old servant Qiao De.

The old beggar glanced around the dining hall, and could see some leftover cobwebs and other things, but Ji Yuan moved his nose, in addition to smelling the smell of food, he could also smell a damp dust, usually after cleaning. smell.

It seems that the dining hall has not been used for a long time, and it was specially cleaned this time.

There are a total of ten dishes on the round table. Of course, there are a lot of fresh vegetables. The most conspicuous one is a big braised fish and two large plates of boiled chicken. , This is the dinner hosted by Qiao's family.

Everyone at the whole table paid attention to Ji Yuan and the old beggar, and no one moved their chopsticks. Mrs. Qiao and the grown-up Qiao's parents could still keep their eyes on each other, but the two young children were all focused on those two. Plate of chicken.

Qiao Yong personally filled the wine cups of Ji Yuan and the old beggar, and said politely.

"You two immortal elders, move your chopsticks! It is my Qiao family's blessing that you can come to my Qiao's house!"

Ji Yuan looked at the old beggar.

"Well, Mr. Lu, aren't you so hungry that your chest sticks to your back? Please use it."

"Hehehe, the old beggar is not welcome! Tsk tsk tsk, these two plates of chicken, the old beggar likes this the most!"

Naturally, the old beggar would not be restrained, and under the eager eyes of the two young children of Qiao's family, he snatched away one chicken butt, and then snatched the other, and sent them to Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji, this is a good thing. It is commonly known as anchovy meat in the market. This is for you."

Ji Yuan waved his hands again and again.

"No need, no need, a gentleman doesn't take what others like, Mr. Lu can just eat it, Ji doesn't like this one."

As he said that, Ji Yuan stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a few slices of green vegetables from the soup pot in the middle and put them in his mouth. While chewing, there was a delicious taste overflowing. Obviously this vegetable soup was boiled with chicken soup and it was very delicious.

"Everyone eats and entertains guests. There is no reason for the host to watch."

As Ji Yuan said, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up two more chicken legs, but this time they put them in the bowls of the two children. The two children immediately looked at Qiao Yong, and when they saw the latter nodding, they grabbed it directly with a smile on their faces. Chicken legs, dipped in soy sauce and gnawed up.

"Yes, we eat too, we eat too."

As soon as Qiao Yong spoke, all the members of the Qiao family moved their chopsticks, and the atmosphere in the dining hall quickly became lively, and the children's laughter added a lot of vitality.

...

In the middle of the night, Qiao's family had already rested, and Ji Yuan and the old beggar sat alone in front of the stone table in the small courtyard of the guest room, one looked up at the moon, and the other closed his eyes to rest.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Qiao's family has declined, the house is still good. It's no problem to tidy up the guest rooms.

At a certain moment in the middle of the night, Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze from admiring the moon, while the old beggar opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

A gust of wind blew by, and the figures of the two immortals had disappeared in front of the stone table.

There is a small alley behind the Qiao's mansion. At this time, like a night owl, Qiao De lightly jumped out of the courtyard wall, and then landed in the alley outside the courtyard, with his body slightly bent on his toes, and the whole process was silent.

"The light work is not bad!"

Zhongzheng's peaceful voice resounded faintly, startling Qiao De, who thought he was unaware of anyone, turned around, and found Ji Yuan and the old beggar were standing there leaning against the wall of Qiao's courtyard.

The moonlight swayed on the two of them, so that Qiao De could clearly see the smiles on the faces of Ji Yuan and the old beggar.

"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, deal with yourself?"

The old man's face was cloudy and uncertain. After changing several times, he raised his head and gritted his teeth.

"I don't know the date of the Immortal Journey Conference. I only know that if there are no immortals to visit before next autumn, I, Qiao De, will try my best to escort the master's family out of the capital, and there will be a place to stay in the ends of the world!"

The old beggar said with a "haha" smile.

"Impossible is a two-faced work, and it's still a little bit of loyalty!"

Joad shook his head.

"I'm over-reputed as a fairy. Although I, Qiao De, think that I have never done anything to harm the Qiao family, in the final analysis, I am also disloyal to the master."

"Hmph, you're not from Qiao's family, why are you talking about infidelity? Where are you going? The Heavenly Master's office? You want to hide me and Mr. Ji with such a trivial skill?"

The old beggar asked with a sneer, and with a hook of his finger, a sachet flew out of Qiao De's arms. He squeezed it with his fingers, and there should be a talisman inside.

Joad didn't hide either.

"You two are really good people, and I'm not telling lies. I'm really going to the Heavenly Master's place. The master is at home and seems to be fine, but in fact, how could he just ignore it? It's just turning from light to darkness. , but did not do any harm."

Ji Yuan nodded.

"That's true, but if we don't come by next fall, I don't know what will happen..."

With a sigh, Ji Yuan said to Qiao De.

"Go ahead and do what you have to do."

Joad was taken aback.

"Uh, those two fairy elders..."

The old beggar said angrily.

"Let's go back to rest naturally. We haven't slept or eaten for a few days and nights. After eating a good meal, we are so sleepy. It's not you bastard, I'm a beggar who went to bed early!"

"Hahaha, Ji has figured it out. Mr. Lu's good meal is two chicken buttocks and a chicken head, plus half a bowl of soup and a few dishes. Next time, Ji will treat you to dinner." Standard."

"You, you, Ji Yuan, how can you say such a thing!?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Amidst the laughter beside his ears, Qiao De found that Ji Yuan and the old beggar were fading in front of his eyes, and finally disappeared. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked around, there was no one there.

After hesitating for a while, Joad still walked away quickly, heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Master in the capital.

...

In the early morning of the second day, Qiao Yong, who got up early, naturally couldn't go to sell vegetables today, but went straight to Tianshi with Ji Yuan and the old beggar.

As an extremely important institution of Daxiu, the Tianshi Office is located in the imperial city where every inch of land is expensive, next to the imperial palace.

Different from the more secretive state of the Celestial Master's Office in various places, the Celestial Master's Office in the capital is magnificent and magnificent.

On the one hand, it is because, anyway, there are basically no people who can enter the palace; on the other hand, it is also because, the place where the emperor occasionally goes, you can't build it too plainly, right?

There were several guards standing guard outside the gate of the Tianshi Office, and when they saw Qiao Yong and the two people behind him approaching purposefully, they all became alert.

"Stop! What are you doing, you know that people can't be allowed to approach casually here, retreat quickly!"

Qiao Yong quickly stopped in his tracks, and bowed his hands to salute them.

"You two gentlemen, I was originally Qiao Yong, the admiral of my Chaoxi Town Navy, and concurrently served as the chief supervisor of the East China Sea Xunxian Fleet. Back then, I got the advice of the immortals to lead the fleet back to the court. Now the immortals have arrived as promised. Lead the two immortal elders to the Celestial Master to find Master Guoshi!"

"Qiao Yong!?"

"Admiral of the West Town Navy?"

"It seems that there is such a person!"

"These two behind you are immortals?"

There are countless strange people and strange people in the celestial master's office, but not many are qualified to be called "immortal". Other "immortal masters" are official honorifics, and many people are actually more appropriate to call them mages.

"However, Master Guoshi is not at the Tianshi's place, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Ji knows that the national teacher and Emperor Daxiu are in the City God's Temple in the capital."

"Um!?"

The guards stood 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 use a faster method."

Before Ji Yuan and the old beggar came, it was decided that this time the matter could be a little bigger.

While saying this, the old beggar circulated mana all over his body, stretched out his fingers, and twirled quietly. He wrote spiritual scripts on his left palm, and the next moment he patted the ground lightly, and spoke with 120,000 concentration.

"Daxiu Jingdu City God is upright, come see me quickly!"

"boom……"

Ripples like water rippled away, a blue smoke brought up a weak whirlwind, and appeared in front of the old beggar while spinning.

Wearing a soap robe and a black gauze on his head, behind him is a shining light, but his face is horrified...

Daxiu Jingdu City God's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Ji Yuan and the old beggar in disbelief.
