Chapter 229: Antecedents and Consequences
"Did you hear it, she said that she was the young owner of Tongle Building. Li Ning walked down the steps towards the carriage with an expressionless face.
Meow!
[I heard it, but I don't think it's a big deal, it's just a woman, and it's not a martial artist or a spirit!]
Impermanence yawned, not very concerned about it.
"No, at this time, the young owner of Tongle Building came to Yanyang City, and you think of Qiao Fei again. Li Ning stepped on the stool and stepped on the side of the carriage, then lifted the dark purple curtain with his right hand, and bent down to get into the carriage.
[What do you think is the connection between these two people? But this little girl is not a spirit!]
Impermanence fell from top of him and squatted on the thick blue cushion, tilting his head in surprise.
"Do you say there is anything that can hide her abilities? I always feel that there are spiritual power fluctuations in her!" Li Ning didn't guess, but saw it with three-color vision.
Although it is very hidden, after all, the teacher is above all professions, so you can still see the faint bit.
Therefore, he suspected that this Qiu Xiangyuan was likely to be a spirit, but for some reason it was hidden deeply.
Perhaps few people know this.
[Yes, yes, there is, a kind of seal that can block one's own strength, so that it is difficult for others to detect!]
Impermanence's brows squirmed, as if two black caterpillars were fighting.
"Seal, that is, it looks like a normal person?" Li Ning leaned sideways against the window on the left, lifted the purple curtain and looked out, and found Qiu Xiangyuan standing at the gate smiling at herself.
[That's right, but this kind of thing that seals its own strength, if you are not careful, it will be completely locked. It seems that this little girl is quite ruthless, you have to be careful!]
Impermanence has gradually tasted it.
"The young owner of Tongle Building, the grimace Qiao Fei of the mysterious spirit organization, is getting closer and closer to the time of three months, and all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have emerged. Li Ning smiled at her and nodded, then lowered the curtain and told the groom to go.
This is just Yanyang City, I don't know what the situation is in other places.
More and more, he felt that it was necessary to increase the speed of the creation of Shuntuan.
Because now it is really necessary to know about other cities.
The reason why I created Shuntuan is not to use this method to find clues to other cities.
On the side of the Tooth of Desire, the news is very blocked, and there is basically nothing more than to provide an approximate time.
Because Qiu Xiangyuan said that she would send things to the Li Mansion soon, Li Ning planned to wait another day.
Then by the way, I met Zhou Suan and asked him to check the Dan Book and Dan Fang he had obtained.
However, in this way, you must be close to the Chu family, and you will inevitably have to meet the Chu River and the Chu king.
And he happened to snatch away the alchemy physician that the other party had taken from Yundu, and it was all at once, so he was a little weak-hearted.
Therefore, after thinking about it, if you want to blatantly meet Zhou Suan, there is only one way, and that is to meet by chance.
As one of the strategists of the Chu family, Zhou Shu has always led the king of Chu to take charge of some of the industries under the Chu family.
These include pawn shops and grocery stores, and if he appears in these two places, I believe that Zhou Suan will definitely show up quickly.
So, after lunch, he rode in a carriage to the civilian area of Second Street.
It is densely packed with the Chu family's large and small trades from all walks of life, and it is also one of the largest sources of resources today.
Of course, there is another reason that the Horse Cutting Gang is now in his pocket, and the business of hiring and killing business travelers is done, and his Chu family can't get a dime.
"Actually, you should go to the Jun family, the Jun family's heritage is much bigger than the Chu family. After all, it was once one of the wealthy families, and even if it is declining now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Li Ning was a little speechless.
This time, I didn't bring impermanence, let it rest at home, and just walk the street alone.
The roads in the civilian areas are wide, but slightly dirty, and there is some garbage littered in many places.
It was winter, and the leaves were yellow and withered on the ground, everywhere, but no one cleaned them.
Occasionally, a puddle of dirty water reflected the hurried figures of passers-by on the ground.
There is a constant stream of pedestrians on the surrounding roads.
Some wore linen clothes, cloth clothes, and slightly better silk clothes.
And the arrival of Li Ning undoubtedly brought a pool of stagnant water back to life.
As the old saying goes.
Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
At least in the minds of the majority of the civilian population.
A rich second generation like him is still a wicked person.
is a gentleman, specializing in bullying ordinary people.
Therefore, one by one, they stopped and watched, occasionally pointing, talking to their relatives and friends, and whispering.
Seeing that there are more and more onlookers.
Li Ning felt that the goal had been achieved, so he turned a corner at the intersection and walked towards a mountain and wild treasure shop opposite.
This is a hotel, specializing in some delicacies from the mountains and seas, so it is still relatively famous in the second street, and even some rich people often come.
And behind it, it is the Jun family as a backer.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable, and the Jun family can be said to have done these to the extreme.
It's hard to imagine that it's all a couple of women manipulating it all.
"Yo, Ning Shao!" the shopkeeper recognized it at a glance, and immediately nodded and stepped forward, with a smile on his face.
"One person, the hottest dishes are on a plate, and then there is a pot of jade snail spring. Remember, Yuluochun is the last. Li Ning threw out a silver coin and threw it over, and walked inside by himself.
It's not the first time he's here, and occasionally when a group of rich second generations get together, in addition to the big red boat, this is also one of the old places.
But now that things are wrong, he is no longer in line with these people, and he is alone, so no one is looking for him to play.
On the first floor, although noon has passed, the table is still full of guests, and the sound is slightly noisy.
Climb up the wooden steps to the second floor, which is a little quieter, but either by the window or by the hallway.
Sitting here and eating, it will inevitably be watched by some people, which will affect your appetite somewhat, so go directly to the third floor.
As soon as you go up to the third floor, the heat and noise below suddenly disappear, and are replaced by private rooms.
From number one to number ten, the door is open to mean that there is no one, and when it is closed, it means that there are guests.
"Please!" the shopkeeper ushered him into the seventh private room, and then turned to leave.
Li Ning walked to the side of the bed, and with a gentle push of both hands, the red wooden bed creaked open.
The sun poured in from outside, and the leaves near the bed began to sway up and down as the breeze blew.
From time to time, there was a rustling sound in my ears.
After a while, all kinds of wild treasures were served on the table, and they were soon full.
Li Ning didn't move, just stood at the window and looked down, and after a while, a carriage of the Chu family slowly drove from the right.
Zhou Suan got out of the carriage and didn't enter the Shanye Zhenfang for the first time, but just glanced out of the corner of his eye, and after seeing Li Ning at the window, he turned around and entered a pawn shop run by the Chu family.
The person never came out after entering, but after a while, a rickety old man walked out from the left.
Just like that, he passed by the location of the parked carriage and passed by several warrior guards who were waiting for Zhou Calculation.
Then he walked straight towards the mountain treasure shop.
Li Ning had a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and sat on the mahogany chair at the wine table, waiting patiently.
Knock Knock Knock –
It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" asked Li Ning in the private room.
"Your Yuluochun is here!" said a voice outside the door that seemed to be the second shopkeeper.
"Come in. Li Ning shouted.
Click!
The door opened, and a shopkeeper with his head down and a pot of white porcelain jade luochun walked in.
He closed the door casually, and then approached the wine table step by step, and lifted the handle of the pot with his left hand to fill the teacup in front of Li Ning.
"It's okay to count uncles, no one should find out. Li Ning tapped the table with his left index finger and said helplessly.
"You have to do enough to act, you kid has caused a lot of trouble, I have to be careful. Zhou Suan raised his head, took off Xiao Er's gray hat, and gave him a blank look.
"What's wrong with me?" Li Ning looked at him innocently.
"What's the matter? The King of Chu finally came back from Yundu with a few alchemy doctors, and your kid snatched it directly!" Zhou Suan casually put the tray on the seat next to him, and then sat next to him.
"If it is changed to another family, I will consider it more or less, it is the Chu family, I don't even think about it, hehe. Li Ning smiled and got up hurriedly, grabbed the teapot and poured it for him.
"If you kid has a conscience, let's talk while eating. Zhou Suan looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
"As soon as I guessed, I knew that you definitely hadn't eaten, so I specially ordered Xiao Er to serve any good dishes. Li Ning gently placed the teapot on his right hand, and then sat back on his seat.
He was well fed, and although he couldn't compare to these delicacies at home, he certainly didn't have much appetite.
Ordering so many dishes, including Yuluochun, is specially given to Zhou.
It's basically all the things he loves to eat and drink.
"Why are you looking for me in a hurry?" Zhou Suan picked up a piece of soft meat from the neck of a wild boar with bamboo chopsticks, dipped it in spicy sauce, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
"Uncle Quan said that you have read a lot of medical books and Dan books before, right?" Li Ning sat upright and looked at him motionlessly.
"That's right, when I was younger, I was so focused on saving lives, so I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. Zhou Shu swallowed the meat after chewing a few times and nodded.
"Then I don't know if you understand this book and this circle of bamboo slips?" Li Ning took out two things from the sleeve of his left hand, put them on the table, and pushed them in his direction.
[Summary of the alchemy of the first half of the body]
【Arch of Afternoon Fire Alchemy】
"Hey, where did you kid get this high-level alchemist's alchemy!" Zhou Suan took a sip of hot tea, picked them up casually, and exclaimed after just one glance.
"You know, right?" Li Ning blinked.
"You mean, these are these two things that were found in the place where you found the fish scale fruit, no wonder the King of Chu was very angry!" Zhou Suan instantly understood.
"How did he know that there were these things in that place?" asked Li Ning with interest.
"A month ago, the king of Chu met an old beggar with broken legs, and this person said that as long as he saved his life, he would give real estate and Danshu, but no one believed it at all, only Chu people. found a doctor, not only saved his life, but also provided food and drink, and served him very well. After that, I got a message about the treasure under the cliff of Luoyan Slope and the West Mountain. I was going to take it away with the fish scale fruit in the next few days, but I didn't expect to be cut off by your kid. And, more importantly, he snatched the alchemy physician away. Zhou Suan replied with a smile.
"What about the old beggar?" Li Ning suspected that he was the alchemy physician of that place.
"Killed, killed the night the news was confirmed, the king of Chu will not raise waste. Zhou Suan shrugged.
"It's a good fit for his character. Li Ning shook his head and nodded.
"But these two things are also very important to you and the Li family. Zhou Suan said with a solemn expression.
"However, there is still a lack of alchemists, and I don't want to give these two things to those three alchemy physicians just like that. Li Ning said seriously.
"It's right not to give, there is something wrong with these three people. Zhou Suan raised his eyebrows and said with a serious expression.
"What's the matter, what do you see?" Li Ning couldn't help but ask.
"When the King of Chu asked them to refine the pill, the three of them pushed back, but when he revealed a little clue about the treasure, the three of them immediately agreed when they heard that it was Luoyanpo. Zhou Suan held a book and a scroll in each hand and glanced at it.
", I just said why I joined the boxing gang so happily, it turns out that I have other ideas. As soon as Li Ning heard this, he almost knew what was going on.
Maybe this old beggar is someone from this Zhuzhi Mountain.
Fortunately, I didn't send this baby to the door immediately.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to say when the time comes.
"This alchemy summary can make an ordinary person an alchemist, and noon fire is an alchemy technique. In this way, Xiao Ningzi, give me the things, and I will learn. Zhou Suan thought about it and said slowly.
One day he has to leave the Chu family, and when the time comes, he has to do something, and of course the strategist can continue.
But after so many years, it has long been a little boring, and this alchemy is just right.
"If you're interested, you can take it. Li Ning grinned.
Every miller draws water to his own mill.
After all, one's own people are better than outsiders.
