Chapter 373: Seeing Reality Clearly
Although reluctantly, Lu Zhiqian was eventually taken away from the casino by Dongfang Shuo.
Once he had entered the street, he turned and walked in the direction of a street.
From the Lu family to the palace before, he walked all the way to the Kangzhuang Avenue, and naturally saw the bustling area of the imperial city.
Drunken Xianju hires such a high-level spirit chef, the so-called wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, and a restaurant that can hire such a character will inevitably fall into the clichΓ© if it is opened in the downtown area.
What's more, hiring such a person is naturally to attract business from famous families. And the more upper-class, the more they like to cultivate their sentiments with leisure and elegance, and the hustle and bustle of the downtown area is not suitable.
To sum up, the possibility that the restaurant called 'Drunken Immortal Residence' will be opened in a relatively secluded area in the imperial city is extremely high.
This gambling stone field is located at the edge of the busy area, and the road in front of the gambling stone field crosses the busy area, so no matter where the 'Drunken Immortal Residence' is, there is only one direction along the principle of the busy area.
If you follow this direction, you will naturally not be suspicious of those gamblers in the gambling stone field.
But of course, it is impossible for him to really go to the 'Drunken Immortal Residence'.
"Do you really have a way to get that Spirit Chef to cook a meal for you? How do I feel unreliable?" After staying away from the gambling stone field, Lu Zhiqian suddenly posted it and said in a low voice, "I heard that last year, the Sixth Prince wanted that to cook a meal, but in the end he closed the door." β
"Closed doors are also soup. Dongfang Shuo smiled, and then said, "Since I am a figure who is helpless even for the six princes, I naturally have no choice." β
Lu Zhiqian was obviously stunned and said, "In that case, why did you say such a thing just now?"
"Naturally, it's to get out. β
"Why do you want to get out? We can make a lot of money. β
"As I said, if you make too much money, you really won't be able to leave. β
"What do you mean?"
Literally. β
"Yes...... How is this possible?"
"Not really, you'll soon find out. β
"What does this mean? What does it mean to know soon?" Speaking of this, Lu Zhiqian frowned.
But Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, changed the topic and said: "But what I didn't expect was that he didn't even give the face of the six princes, and that spirit chef in the Drunken Immortal Residence was really powerful enough?"
Lu Zhi pursed his lips, then gave up the question, and said: "That's natural, after all, that one, but he used to be the head chef of the academy, it would be strange if he didn't have such a temper." β
"Academy?" Dongfang Shuo asked, "What is the origin?"
"You don't even know about the academy?"
"I don't know. β
"One of the three major forces in Xuzhou, alongside Taoism and Buddhist temples. I heard that they are very powerful, and even the royal family does not dare to provoke them. Lu Zhiqian suddenly lowered his voice, leaned a little closer, and continued, "Once upon a time, there was a prince who was seriously injured by a disciple of the Taoist Sect, and the matter ended in the end. β
"Is there such a thing?" Dongfang Shuo nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "In this way, these three major forces are really not easy to mess with?"
"That's not it, even if it is a person who has retired from the three major forces, the royal family does not dare to provoke it, who knows if there will be anything involved. Lu Zhiqian said, "So after the six princes ate the closed door soup last year, that matter was gone." If it had been replaced with an ordinary restaurant, it would have been demolished a long time ago. β
"The Sixth Prince shouldn't be such a person, right?" Dongfang Shuo frowned.
After getting along these days, Dongfang Shuo has also seen all aspects of the Six Princes.
His ambition is to 'be in a high position in the country, and those who can live in it', and almost all aspects are people-oriented, giving the people a way out. How can such a person be powerful for some trivial things?
"The butt decides the head, although I am the maiden family of the six princes, I also have to say that all the princes, including the six princes, are the same kind of people. Lu Zhiqian said.
Dongfang Shuo looked at him and was silent for a moment.
Maybe what he said makes sense, but the root cause may be because the strength of the six princes is not enough, and the voice is not enough. That's why people have such prejudices.
"If you could know what the Six Princes did, you wouldn't have such thoughts. Dongfang Shuo said.
Lu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I remember, you are a guest introduced by the Sixth Prince to the Lu family, so you are the person of the Sixth Prince." Anyway, this kind of thing can't be said clearly, so it's okay not to say it. β
These words made Dongfang Shuo suddenly stunned.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to be defending the six princes.
A person who insisted on maintaining neutrality in front of the Six Princes invisibly wanted to speak for the Six Princes.
Although the truth is correct, Dongfang Shuo always feels a little weird.
"Let's talk about the Drunken Immortal Residence. Dongfang Shuo smiled, and hurriedly opened the topic, "I felt from just now that the name 'Drunken Immortal Residence' is weird, and it doesn't look like the name of a restaurant at all." β
"Who said that Drunken Immortal Residence is a restaurant?" Lu Zhiqian asked angrily.
Dongfang Shuo was puzzled: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not. You're a person, you're really running a carriage with a mouthful, and you don't even know what the Drunken Immortal Residence is, so you just opened your mouth and came there. β
"Since the Drunken Immortal Residence is not a restaurant, what else can it be?"
"Yes, the Drunken Immortal Residence is the most famous green building inside and outside the imperial city, in the whole country. Lu Zhiqian said, "You are still a disciple of the Sixth Prince, and you don't even know this?"
Dongfang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I never said that I am a subordinate of the Sixth Prince. β
"Regardless of whether you are a descendant of the Six Princes, you should always be a famous queen, right? Since you are a famous family, you don't even know the well-known No. 1 Qinglou in the world, this is really against the title of 'famous queen'." Lu Zhiqian asked, "What you think about all day long in your head shouldn't be all loyal to the monarch and serve the country?"
Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes.
Lu Zhiqian said: "As a famous family, if you are not arrogant and lascivious, wouldn't you be doing your job?"
"What kind of crooked reasoning are you?" Dongfang Shuo held his forehead and stopped.
At this time, the two were completely away from the downtown area. On this street, there are no shops, and there are no gates for houses, so there are no pedestrians.
Seeing Dongfang Shuo stop, Lu Zhiqian also stopped, and at the same time pointed to the mask on his face and said, "I said, can I take off the mask?" β
In fact, he was not uncomfortable, but afraid.
Wearing a mask, it somewhat blocks the view. And he was blocked when he was a child, so he was afraid of empty alleys day and night. At this time, walking into the empty alley, the mask that slightly blocked some of his vision also made him a little uneasy.
"Are you scared?"
In his breath, Dongfang Shuo felt Lu Zhiqian's emotions.
Lu Zhiqian paused, but did not answer.
Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "If you're afraid, take off your mask, it's better to look better." β
These words made Lu Zhiqian slightly stunned.
As he reached out and took off his mask, he asked suspiciously, "What do you want me to see?"
But as soon as the words fell, Lu Zhiqian, who had already taken off his mask, suddenly froze his eyes. The blind corners of the sight that were originally covered by masks were full of people. On the edge of the wall, on the roof, and in the mouth of the alley, there are people.
Their eyes were fixed on the two men standing in the middle of the road, full of malice.
"Who are these people, man?"
Lu Zhiqian immediately asked in a panic.
"I've followed all the way, haven't you noticed?" Dongfang Shuo smiled.
His calm attitude made Lu Zhiqian even more afraid.
"But who are they?" Lu Zhiqian asked.
Dongfang Shuo said: "The person from the gambling stone field just now. β
"Yes...... Why?"
Lu Zhiqian's face was immediately full of surprise.
Before Dongfang Shuo could speak, a certain person standing on the eaves of the house said, "Why? Naturally, you are blocking our way to make money." β
"Didn't you say that you are willing to gamble and lose?" Lu Zhiqian shouted.
The man smiled: "Yes, I am willing to lose the bet." Bet on the stone, you win. Bet on your life, we won. β
The words fell, and everyone showed their weapons one after another.
The man said, "Boy, you know that we have followed all the way, but you still go to a place where there are few people, are you having a bad brain?"
Dongfang Shuo paused and said with a smile: "Since you know that I am deliberately going to a place where there are few people, you should know that I really led you to appear, but you still appear in front of me stupidly, isn't it ridiculous?"
β...... This...... What the hell is going on!" Lu Zhiqian's whole body was trembling.
"That's what happens when the game comes. Dongfang Shuo said, "Now you should always believe that there is no way out of gambling stones, right?"
Lu Zhiqian's heart trembled, and then he fell directly to the ground as soon as his feet were soft.
He stared at it all infatuatedly, with an endless mixture of flavors in his eyes.
Maybe he's still in disbelief, or maybe he's woken up.
But whether he figured it out or not, Dongfang Shuo did what he should have done. From the moment Lu Zhiqian said 'what do they know', Dongfang Shuo had everything planned in his heart. When Lu Zhiqian said, 'I want to change a tomb for my mother that is more generous than anyone else', Dongfang Shuo made up his mind to let him see this scene and let him be redeemed.
Moreover, the ancestor of the Lu family helped him dismantle the shogunate, and he helped the Lu family educate a junior, and it was not a loss.
"Ridiculous? You who said these words are really the most ridiculous!" The man on the eaves had a hideous expression, "I can recognize this person next to you, he is the young master of the Lu family, right? Tsk, do you think you can fight so many of us on your own? Not to mention, you also have an oil bottle!"
When the words fell, the thugs of the gambling stone field fell one after another, and quickly sealed the road before and after.
At this moment, Dongfang Shuo saw the strength of these people clearly. To his surprise, there were still three second-vein kings among them.
"What kind of world is this, is the second vein king so worthless?" Dongfang Shuo said with emotion.
In Qingzhou, that barren place where the highest cultivation is only in the refining period, a second-vein king can start a sect and establish a faction, stir up a situation or become a hegemon. And here, he can only be reduced to a thug under the hands of non-top forces, doing some dirty business that is not visible.
In such a prosperous world of cultivation, I don't know whether it is good or bad.
However, it is precisely because of this that Dongfang Shuo's heart hopes that his forces will one day be able to break out of Qingzhou and go to the vast land of Kyushu.
"Now that you see the existence of the second vein king among us, you little foundation, immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!"
"If we are pleased, we may be able to consider keeping you two dead. β
The two kings of the second vein spoke one after another.
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he only squinted his eyes: "The emperor dares to kill people with such fanfare, it seems that there is something behind you, right?"
The man on the eaves did not answer him, but in the next moment, in cold words, he ordered: "Kill him." β
As soon as the words fell, the sword light and sword shadow were sandwiched with spiritual power, and they all flocked to Dongfang Shuo and Lu Zhiqian.
The abdomen and back were attacked by the enemy, and Dongfang Shuo's heart sank.
"Whales. β
With a call, Huaguang turned into a star, and behind Dongfang Shuo, Ah Whale's tall figure quickly rose from the ground.
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Shatter them. β
