Volume 1: Chang'an Night Change Twenty-seven: Nancheng
In the imperial city, the empress was lying on the phoenix chair, her head resting on the maid's soft and elastic thighs and squinting slightly.
Below, flanked by stunningly beautiful women, one responsible for serving as a pillow and the other peeling fruit for her.
Such a comfortable life is the envy of even celestial beings.
"Your Majesty, Master Di is here!" Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing beside her, whispered.
Oh!
The empress opened her eyes and saw a man standing below.
"Di Renjie, you're finally here, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, yesterday we have found out the research sites that have not bloomed, and destroyed them all in one fell swoop, and all the locations in the city have been discovered. It is believed that the Chang'an Night Party will be a peaceful night. ”
"Well done!" the empress replied lightly, not too surprised, as if all this was supposed to be the most ordinary.
"That's what a minister should do! By the way, God has returned!"
"Oh, Cheng Biting Jin, is he back?" Hearing this, the empress's face changed slightly.
"Let him go to Jixia this time, I don't know what the hell is going on. Zhaoyue's girl looks for my group of courtiers when she has nothing to do all day long, and there are only a few people in total. I see, just my Fengluan Palace, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou, I'm afraid they will all be displaced!"
The woman said lukewarmly.
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they knelt down one after another and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins?"
"Hey, what's wrong? Why did you kneel down again? I'll just complain, is it necessary to be so afraid?" said the empress helplessly.
Although she said this, everyone did not dare to take it seriously, and they knelt on the ground and did not get up.
"Your Majesty, according to Lord Divine General, Princess Zhaoyue may be coming back!" At this time, Di Renjie suddenly said.
The Empress's eyes lit up, "Oh, isn't it? That's good, it's going to be a ghost hunt soon, and she's back just in time." But...... Is she alone?"
"And Li Bai!"
"Isn't Li Bai dead? Oh! You're talking about that Li Bai, the so-called reincarnation of Li Bai that was spread a few years ago!" the empress patted her head, looking like she was in a trance.
"What Your Majesty said is true, I heard that Princess Zhaoyue and this Li Bai are now very close, and they are even known as a natural pair under Jixia. ”
"A natural pair, sounds a little interesting. By the way, when are they coming back? Anyway, we have to have a celebration ceremony to receive our new sword immortal of the Great Zhou!"
For Li Qinglian, although he has been in Chang'an for a long time, in fact, he is at home most of the time and rarely goes around Chang'an seriously. So Chang'an is still a stranger to him, on the whole.
"I'm really convinced, you've been in Chang'an for so long, why are you still getting lost while walking?"
"As I said before, I'm not familiar with the south side of the city, so I've basically never been here. Besides, didn't you grow up here? How can you get lost?"
"I ...... I left here to practice in the Sword Pavilion when I was a child, and I haven't been back for many years. Besides, there are so many changes here, how can I remember clearly?" the woman said in a panic.
"So what now? Go back or ......"
"Of course I continued to walk, I have been out for so long, wouldn't it be a loss to go back after walking so far?"
"Okay then!" Li Qinglian agreed.
This side of the southern city is the location of Chang'an College, so you can see the students of the college everywhere you go.
Looking at these students who were about the same age as himself, Ye Zitian was also full of curiosity.
"Is this the student of the academy? Why are so many of them so old, and even an old man?"
"Chang'an Academy is divided into two parts, one is to train literati, and the other is to cultivate cultivators. What you see should be a cultivator, because of his poor talent, he has already begun to age. Li Qinglian explained.
Ye Zitian was puzzled: "Since the talent is not good, why do you keep them?"
As a cultivation genius, how can you understand these ordinary people!"
Ye Zitian didn't understand. Although it was very difficult during her cultivation years, she had never had such a bottleneck period. Crazy cultivation and hard work to comprehend the sword intent, the bottleneck can naturally be broken through.
"They seem to be stubborn, and nothing will come of this, so why waste time and life?" she sighed, shaking her head.
"It's not stubbornness, it's greed. There are so many benefits for cultivators that they forget about simple things. Just like people are greedy for money, some people can give up everything for money, even life. So, they don't need our sympathy!"
She nodded at what he said, then turned around and asked, "So, tell me what kind of person I am, greedy, stupid, or ......."
Li Qinglian pressed her hand on her forehead and looked at her bright eyes, "Tell me first, are you going to ask about the current you or the past you?"
She stopped and asked him, "Is there a difference?"
"What do you say?"
Originally, I was thinking that I could meet some acquaintances and have a meal by the way. As a result, along the way, I didn't meet a familiar person.
Seeing that it was getting dark, they found a shop to stay in.
Because it was full, only one single room remained.
"Stay?" Ye Zi asked him.
"Stay, why don't you live? Do you still sleep outside?" snatched the key, and he put a silver ingot on the counter, only to see him swaggering upstairs.
Ye Zitian chased after him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can't see it, why are you so generous today!"
"That must, after all, we will be separated in another day, and we must not let you live comfortably and leave a good impression on you!"
"That's right. In that case, please keep up your good work!" She smiled at him, snatched the key and ran to the room.
After staying in the room for a while, Ye Zitian said that he wanted to take a bath. After all, it's been a day, and people always feel sticky when it's hot.
Li Qinglian was also inevitable, and took a bath at her strong request.
It wasn't until the evening that the two came down to eat.
"Objective, what do you want to eat?"
Li Qinglian looked at Ye Zitian, "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, eat less, don't you want to visit the night market for a while, there are more delicious foods. ”
Li Qinglian also felt reasonable, so she nodded and said to Xiao Er, "Then let's have a plate of side dishes, two meat buns and two vegetable buns." ”
"Okay!"
After Xiao Er left, Li Qinglian was idle and bored and watched left and right, her legs shaking.
