Chapter 1374: The Meaning of Immaturity
Nangong Ao got up from the chair and walked back and forth in the study for a long time before he stopped and said to his daughter: "Lengshuang, you go back now and arrange for some disciples to go to the outskirts of Liecheng to find Crimson Luo, I expect that this woman must still be in Nanyan Kingdom." ”
"Yes, my daughter understands." Nangong Lengshuang nodded, paused, and said, "Father, in addition to the matter of Crimson Luo, I have another thing to tell you. ”
"What is it?"
"It was last night that I met a man named Lin Tian, I thought he was the old friend of the ninth sister, but it turned out that it was not." Nangong Lengshuang smiled bitterly.
&nbs[; In fact, Nangong Lengshuang doesn't have the concept of being noble and cheap, she thinks that the ninth sister Nangong Yanran has found her own happiness, what if the other party is a thief? As long as the ninth sister likes it, it's fine.
But this is just her personal opinion, but it can't change her father's determination to break up the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and in the end, she can only watch the ninth sister being imprisoned in the Linglong Tower, and this level has passed for four hundred years, and now I don't know whether the ninth sister is dead or alive.
"Is that him?" Hearing Lin Tian's name, Nangong Ao became even more excited, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
"Father, is this Lin Tian the same thief Lin Tian at the beginning?" Nangong Lengshuang saw that his father was moved, and asked curiously.
She had heard that the mad thief Lin Tian was destroyed by the Great Immortal above the Double Heaven when he was stealing the Qiankun Bowl, the treasure of the Zhenfang Sect of the Ziyang Gate, and even the Yuan Shen was dispersed, but she always felt that the Lin Tian she saw last night was somewhat similar to the previous mad thief.
"It's not him." Nangong Ao shook his head, exhaled and said, "Although he is not the old friend of your ninth sister, he is the general of Xiangxiang Kingdom. The last time I went to Xiangxiang Country, I was defeated by this man. ”
Nangong Lengshuang was a little surprised with a long mouth. How is this possible? 's father is also resourceful, and his cultivation has also thrown Lin Tian off several major roads. Why was he defeated by Lin Tian?
Nangong Ao ignored her daughter's surprised look, and asked again, "Where is this Lin Tian?" ”
"In our sect." Nangong Lengshuang immediately said: "I took him and the little lady of his family as disciples of the sect, and asked Hebo to guard them. ”
"Well done." Nangong Ao suddenly laughed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That's ...... After you go back, choose seven disciples and prepare to send them into the palace to serve as guards, including Lin Tian and his wife Dong Jiyao. ”
Nangong Lengshuang was even more surprised, and immediately asked, "Father." How can you send a general from an enemy country to be the emperor's bodyguard? If they suddenly went to assassinate the emperor, wouldn't our Nangong family be convicted of rebellion? ”
This move is too bold, and if you are not careful, the entire Nangong family will be pushed into a situation from which you will never recover.
Nangong Ao smiled proudly: "Don't worry, you do what I say, it is guaranteed to be a million profits." ”
Nangong Ao is completely sure, he is sure that Lin Tian will never assassinate the emperor, after all, Lin Tian came to Nanyan Kingdom this time to find their male queen Bei Youran, as long as Lin Tian did not see Bei Youran. He would never act rashly.
Moreover, he could also make use of Lin Tian, because when Lin Tian entered the palace, he would not obediently serve as a guard. He will definitely carefully investigate some secrets in the palace, and he Nangong Ao is also very interested in these unknown secrets.
As for how to get Lin Tian to tell him these secrets. There are so many ways to do that.
Nangong Lengshuang rolled her eyes in astonishment, she felt that her father was really old and confused. actually made such a bold decision, but his father Nangong Ao was an old stubborn. She persuaded but could not be persuaded.
In the end, I had to respond: "Yes, my daughter will go back and make arrangements." ”
On the way back, Nangong Lengshuang made it difficult again, because it was naturally a great honor to select a disciple from the sect to serve as the palace guard, if he was favored by the emperor, he would definitely be glorious and wealthy in the second half of his life, maybe he could mix a big general or something, it was really a glorious lintel.
Therefore, it is estimated that many people will want to get these seven places.
But his father insisted on arranging for Lin Tian and Dong Jiyao to enter the palace, but they were disciples of the outer gate, and it stands to reason that they were not qualified to compete with the disciples of the inner gate for this place.
"Hey......" Nangong Lengshuang sighed lightly and muttered, "It seems that there is going to be a selection competition." ”
……
Due to the heavy weight of the bucket and the fact that they had to absorb half a bucket of water every time they went up the mountain, it took Lin Tian and their efforts for half a day to fill the large water tank.
Dong Jiyao felt that her whole body was sore and her back hurt, if it weren't for her own cultivation in the foundation building period, it is estimated that her small body would have fallen apart long ago.
Sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, Dong Jiyao covered his stomach and said with a bitter face: "Xianggong, I'm hungry." ”
Lin Tian smiled and looked at Hebo, who was not far away under the spirit tree.
Hebo smiled and said, "Don't look at me, I don't have anything to eat for you." ”
"I don't expect you to get us food." Lin Tian said with a smile: "It's just that I want to borrow your stove." ”
"That's okay, use it casually, I'm still very good at talking, old man." Hebo laughed.
Lin Tian nodded, then walked into Hebo's small house, took out two carps from the ring that he had gotten from the creek before, and got some rice to cook......
Soon, a light white smoke came out of the roof of the small house, and Hebo who watched it was a little nostalgic, remembering that the last time he cooked, it was two hundred years ago.
……
Soon, Lin Tian brought out the braised carp, and Dong Jiyao also helped with the meal, and the two of them ate lunch beautifully, just like ordinary husband and wife.
"Hebo, don't you want to eat some?" Lin Tian asked kindly.
They ate very deliciously, but an old man was left unattended, which seemed a little too inhumane.
He Bo smiled lightly and said, "The old man has already opened the valley, and he doesn't need to eat at all, and the taste of this braised fish has long been forgotten." ”
Although he said what he said, the corners of his mouth were drooling, not that he was greedy, because Bigu had been for so long, but the aroma of braised fish was still fresh in his memory, this is the instinct of the human body, and Bigu couldn't control it.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "What's wrong with Bigu? Bigu can also be eaten, this fish is fragrant, if you don't eat it, it will be your loss. ”
After speaking, Lin Tian walked in front of He Bo with a bowl, pretending to be a good meal.
He Bo looked at Lin Tian like this, his saliva couldn't help but flow out, his nose sniffed, it was indeed the same as Lin Tian said, this braised carp was really fragrant.
"Okay, I'll give you a face." In the end, Hebo still couldn't hold back, stood up from the ground, looked at Lin Tian and said, "However, I just eat a meal from you, but I won't give you any skills, besides, my old man doesn't have any skills to hand over to you." ”
"Don't worry, I don't see your little ability."
Then, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
After He Bo sat down, he took a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I haven't eaten for two hundred years, and now I eat it again, it feels different." ”
Dong Jiyao's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Old man, are you sick?" Why do you want to work so hard to make a valley? There are so many delicacies in the world, you should try them all, so why bother yourself? ”
"Haha......" Uncle He laughed and said, "You little girl is really interesting, there are so many interesting things in this world, do I have to try it?" I'm a monk, and immortality is the most important thing. ”
"Is it really good not to eat for the sake of immortality?" Dong Jiyao asked again: "What's the difference between this and a dead person?" ”
"This ......" He Bo was stopped by Dong Jiyao, but this kind of doubt only existed in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared, and then smiled: "You are still too young, when you reach my age, you will know the beauty of cultivation." ”
Food can naturally satisfy a momentary appetite, but compared to being alive, what about a mere Bigu? As long as you live, you can do anything.
Dong Jiyao blinked her eyes very incomprehensibly, she was indeed very puzzled, maybe it was really as Hebo said, she really understood this truth at this age.
As for now, she still has to eat anything delicious, not to mention the braised carp made by Xianggong, she has a fuller meal.
"Oops." After eating a few bites, Hebo frowned and said, "This fish should have wine to drink, then it is called refreshing, but it's a pity that my old man doesn't have good wine." ”
Bang!
As soon as Hebo's words fell, Lin Tian took out a jar of wine from the ring, this wine was the imperial wine he stole from the palace last night, and it was originally intended to be given to the old man Tiangong, but now that he has drunk a jar of wine, presumably the old guy won't say anything.
"Yo, you really have wine." He Bo lifted the lid of the wine jar and sniffed it, and said, "It's indeed good wine, but the old man can't get used to drinking this kind of good wine, and I still miss the old wine brewed by our sect very much." ”
Lin Tian didn't force Hebo, put away the imperial wine, and asked, "Hebo, where is the sect's wine cellar?" I'll go get it for you. ”
Lin Tian understood that although Hebo was an outer disciple of the Nangong family, his cultivation was very profound, and if he followed him, he could definitely learn a lot of things, since this was the case, he naturally had to meet Hebo's requirements, didn't he just want to drink with the sect, just steal some of them.
