"Wow"

There was a knock on the door, Qingxu frowned, it was the shopkeeper who knocked on the door outside the house, but there were four breaths behind the shopkeeper, one of which was still a little familiar, it was the shopkeeper Li of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, so he motioned for Yu Sheng to go and open the door.

"Little Daoist, these masters came to visit. Xiao Er pointed to the shopkeeper Li behind him and left.

Shopkeeper Li looked at the image in front of him in surprise for the rest of his life, at this time, how could he still look like a little beggar, obviously a handsome little Taoist boy, seeing that he looked at his expression with some doubts, he smiled and explained his intentions, "Please ask the Taoist chief to give you a good teacher, and say that Li has something important to ask to see." ”

Before Yu Sheng could speak, a clear voice came from inside, "Apprentice, please let them in!"

"Yes," Yu Sheng replied respectfully, and then let them in and invited them in, but Shopkeeper Li only brought a middle-aged man in brocade clothes into the door, and two strong men stayed outside the door.

Seeing Qingxu sitting cross-legged in the room, Shopkeeper Li snorted slightly, smelling the strong Dan fragrance that was still left in the room, and sighed secretly in his heart, "What a fast alchemy speed, this Dan incense, I think this person must be in alchemy, only two pairs of medicinal materials can successfully refine the Condensing Pill, such a strong alchemy technique." ”

However, what he didn't expect was that Qingxu had successfully refined two condensing pills in less than one column of incense in just one furnace, and if he knew about it, he would definitely not dare to come to the door so rashly.

At this time, seeing Qingxu's face calmly, the shopkeeper Li hurriedly gave his hand, "I have seen the Taoist, Li knows that it is really not appropriate to come to the door rashly to disturb, but since the Taoist left, the county prince's mansion begged to come to the door, wanting to find a Danshi, Li Moujue that the reward they gave may be interesting to the Taoist, so he came uninvited, and if he was presumptuous, he hoped that the Taoist would forgive me." ”

"It's okay," Qingxu stretched out his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Shopkeeper Li glanced at the old man in brocade behind him, the middle-aged man in brocade immediately understood, and took a step forward respectfully, "Li Mao, the king of Xincheng County, has seen the Taoist chief, and he has taken the liberty to come to the door, the situation is really urgent, and the shopkeeper Li can't help Li's bitter begging, so he has to come, and I hope that the Taoist chief will not be surprised." ”

Qingxu nodded calmly, "Poor Dao Qingxu, I don't know what the king of the county is looking for?"

He was not too polite, a mere county king of the Tang Empire was nothing in his eyes, even if the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom, the overlord of the Northern Regions, came in person, he would not get up and salute him.

The rest of his life standing behind him was a little stunned, staring at Li Mao with a vague gaze, the biggest official he had ever seen in his two lives was only the city lord of Linjiang City, and he just stood in the crowd and looked at it from a distance, and when he saw this Tang County King at this time, he was immediately curious.

Li Mao mixed in the court, he has always been good at observing words and feelings, seeing that Qingxu's attitude was flat, he was only slightly stunned in his heart, and quickly reacted, it seems that this Qingxu Taoist in front of him is not a person from the empire, and he naturally knows in his heart that these masters of the Northern Regions will not take him as a county king in their eyes.

At this moment, seeing Qingxu's question, he replied more and more respectfully: " Three months ago, my father went with a few old friends to explore a secret place, seven days ago when he came back, he was seriously injured, Li had no choice but to go to the imperial city of Hojing to beg the emperor, invited two of my royal family to worship the pharmacist, after the pharmacist checked, said that the father is a powerful cold poison, they are helpless about it, can only use some yang attribute drugs to save the father's life, said that only the Dan master can be saved, there is no Dan master in this new city, Li had to go to disturb the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce Li shopkeeper, just heard that the Taoist chief is here, so he begged him to introduce on his behalf。 ”

"Cold poison?" Qingxu was slightly surprised, and then continued, "The cold poison that can make the medicine master helpless must not be ordinary, since you know that the poor Dao is the Dan Master, you should understand the rules of the Dan Master, without enough price, the Poor Dao will not make a move." ”

Li Mao was greatly surprised when he heard Qingxu admit his identity as a Danshi, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Don't worry, Daoist Chief, Li knows the rules, there is a precious four-grade medicinal herb Yang Spirit Flower hidden in the house, no matter whether it is successful or not, Li will definitely offer it with both hands." ”

Qingxu still looked at him calmly, unmoved.

Seeing this, Li Mao gritted his teeth and continued to increase, "My father has brought back a total of four secret treasures from the secret area, a mysterious spar, a residual map, and two local level intermediate exercises.

Qingxu was a little moved at this time, but he didn't immediately agree, but wondered, "Although Datang is a remote place, it doesn't even have a Dan master, right?"

Li Mao shook his head, his eyes were a little evasive, and he was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and replying, "That's not the case, my royal family enshrines a four-rank Dan master." ”

Hearing this, Qingxu was slightly surprised, "Four-grade Dan Master, yes, it is already close to the middle level, this kind of Dan Master is rare in the entire Northern Regions, I don't want this remote Tang Dynasty to hide one, so why don't you invite him to come? Since he is enshrined in your royal family, he should not refuse you, you should know that it is easy to arouse his suspicion if he rashly makes a move within the range of a Dan Master." ”

As the king of Tang County, Li Mao naturally has a lot of secrets, of course he knows the meaning of Qingxu's words, but there are some things that are the top secret of the royal family, and he doesn't dare to say it easily, but at this time he has been riding a tiger, his father Li Zhen is already in critical condition, and the two pharmacists in the house are helpless about it, once Qingxu refuses, Li Zhen will definitely die, Li Zhen can't die, Xincheng County Mansion can't afford to lose, and he has no choice but to tell the truth.

"Alas! So far, Li Mou didn't dare to hide it anymore, not because I didn't want to invite him to come, but my father went to the secret place at his invitation, a four-grade Danshi, five psychic peaks, six people from the royal family went out, only three people fled back in embarrassment, Danshi and my father were poisoned by cold, he has been in retreat in the palace since he came back to heal, and now he is too busy to take care of himself, where can I take care of my father, the emperor has issued a secret order on this matter, it is strictly forbidden to spread outside, and I hope that the two can keep it secret. ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the king of the county will definitely keep his mouth shut." ”

Qingxu also bowed slightly, "Since this is the case, this matter should be done, I don't know when the king of the county will go to your mansion?"

Li Mao was overjoyed, and thanked him excitedly, "Thank you, the sooner this matter is, the better, if it is convenient, it is best to set off immediately, it is not a secret, my father is already in a bad situation, and he is already unconscious before coming down." ”

"In this way, I'll leave later," Seeing that Li Mao was anxious, Qingxu groaned slightly, and then agreed to him.

"Thank you, Daoist, Lord Junwang, since the Daoist has promised to be busy in the lower store, I won't go to your mansion to disturb you. After a few people went out, Shopkeeper Li said goodbye to Qingxu's master and apprentice and the county king.

"Thanks to Shopkeeper Li's guidance this time, I don't thank you for my kindness, in the future, if Shopkeeper Li has any needs, as long as the palace is within its ability, just come to the house to order. Li Mao solemnly promised to the shopkeeper Li that he could invite Qingxu this time, and he did accept a lot of favor from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Li Mao asked the guards to send Li Shopkeeper away, and then took the carriage to the palace, the three of them were silent all the way, and the Qingxu master and apprentice closed their eyes and said nothing since they got on the car, and he was not easy to bother, but fortunately, the palace was not far from here, and the carriage was about half a pillar of incense.

The county king's mansion is located in the center of the new city, it seems that it occupies an area similar to that of Linjiang Chen, the momentum and luxury are not comparable to Chen's, the appearance is tall and brilliant, the inside is exquisite and elegant, the hall is decorated with mountains and stones, the garden between the attic is brocade, it is already a cold winter in November, but it is still a lush forest, the bluestone rubble is clear and exquisite, showing a graceful and luxurious color, there are many servants and maids, seeing Li Mao and the three, they all stand with their heads respectfully bowed to the side, and wait until the three of them walk in front of them, they dare to raise their heads and leave in a hurry.

Following behind the plain-eyed Qingxu, Yu Sheng felt that his inner feelings at this time were very similar to Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life.
