Chapter Twenty-Three: Stolen

What a pair of fairy bones.

In front of the sitting, the old Taoist looked at ease, the two strands of white hair on his temples hung down like a beard, and the open window of the private room blew a cool breeze, making it elegant like a fairy.

The old Taoist stretched out his hands, his dry and emaciated palms, but his skin was as white and tender as a baby.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat."

Lu Zhaojin sat down as he said, only to find that the old Taoist's hair was like black beans under the black gauze crown, and only the exposed temples were as white as frost.

This is by no means something that can be done with health skills.

Lu Zhaojin put away his surprise without showing a look, and watched the old Taoist take out the tea cakes from the small box, skillfully boiling water and sencha.

"The method is an ancient method, but the ingredients are from the west, and the tea cakes are also a specialty of southern Xinjiang, and the immortal is really a good skill." Lu Zhaojin smiled and reached out to take the tea bowl.

"Noble people are also knowledgeable." The old Taoist replied with a smile and drank himself.

However, it is recorded in the Dandian that tea cakes are also a special product of Southern Xinjiang for Daxia, and the Ye family has also had a few.

"Sencha in the Western Regions, good with salt and milk, and the same is true of these spicy things, I don't know if the nobles have ever drunk it." The old Taoist finally spoke, but the question was not what Lu Zhaojin expected.

"No, I've only read about it in books." Lu Zhaojin put the tea bowl down.

This method of sencha has a unique taste, which was abandoned in the Great Xia Dynasty as early as her ancestors, not to mention that she added a lot of spices, and she was not used to drinking it.

Seeing this, the old Taoist frowned slightly, and his voice was quite suspicious: "The noble man has not been to the Western Regions, so has the caravan in the noble family been there?" ”

Lu Zhaojin finally understood why this old Taoist invited her to tea.

It turned out that she thought she had been to the Western Regions.

also knew that she had a caravan at home, and it seemed that she had already figured out her details.

"Immortal Chief said with a smile, I'm still young, and the caravan at home is only buying and selling medicinal materials from all directions, how can I have been to the Western Regions."

The old Taoist blew the hot air of the tea bowl and looked thoughtful.

Hua Qiao and Lu Qi looked at each other, what was the matter with this old Taoist, what did he say to solve when he called someone to come, but when he came, he asked east and west, and now he is drinking tea by himself.

Look at the appearance of this fairy wind bone, you won't come to cheat the tea money.

"Miss, we're still waiting for us in the pavilion." Hua Qiao reminded quietly.

It's also a reminder to the old Taoist.

The old Taoist was unconscious, half-squinting and thinking, but Lu Zhaojin shook his head with a smile, "Don't be rude, this one, but the immortal chief of the film view." ”

Hua Qiao's eyes widened in surprise, the immortal chief of the movie?

What's going on?

"The noble man is so smart, so he may guess the identity of the old way?" The old Taoist stroked his long beard and suddenly opened his eyes.

Since this old Taoist likes to play dumb riddles, Lu Zhaojin will accompany him and fight to the end.

"That Zhiqing Daoist has not come out of retreat, and now he has come to the capital after leaving the customs, is it just to see a little woman like me?"

"Haha, the nobleman smiled, the old way is to enter the palace by edict, and meeting the nobleman is just a casual encounter, a chance encounter." Zhiqing waved his hand, still with that smiling attitude, which was unpredictable.

This old way, mysterious and extremely slippery.

Lu Zhaojin only felt that he had nowhere to focus, and he couldn't hold it back.

According to her inference, Zhiqing should have specially found it for the small piece of Zhu Danteng she left in the wing room that day, but he said that he came by edict.

This edict is not something that can be given casually.

Shouldn't the Qing Daoist have been successful in retreat and alchemy, and what kind of pill did he offer, so that he could be ordered to enter Beijing!

Lu Zhaojin clenched his fists.

For thousands of years, the emperor sought the path of alchemy and immortality, and I don't know how many people were killed.

If Zhiqing entered Beijing because of this, she would definitely be killed and would not admit it, and she would never admit Zhu Danteng's matter.

"Don't be nervous, the old Tao has been in the view for many years, and there will always be some realizations worth talking about." Zhiqing keenly sensed Lu Zhaojin's thoughts and reassured.

He can create his own rumors, and he can't know how powerful he is.

With a wave of his long sleeves, Zhiqing dismissed the little Taoist priest who was serving, and Lu Zhaojin also waved his hand and asked Lu Qi and the others to retreat.

"If there is anything wrong with the Taoist, just say it directly."

"The noble man is quick to talk, then the old way will not sell the guanzi, dare to ask where the plant left by the noble man came from?"

Sure enough, it was Zhu Danteng's business, Lu Zhaojin smiled, "What plant?" ”

"Hehe, Lao Dao didn't buy with nobles, Lao Dao has always told the truth." Zhiqing heard that Lu Zhaojin was also selling Guanzi, and sighed: "The noble person doesn't believe it, and the old way can't do anything." ”

This old man is really slippery.

Blind to the appearance of the fairy wind bones.

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Zhaojin put down the tea bowl and said in a sly voice: "Immortal Chief, this is embarrassing for me." ”

The girl stood up, saluted, and prepared to leave.

Zhiqing also put down the teacup and watched Lu Zhaojin walk out, only to sigh and sigh.

Bewilderment.

A pun on a girl can be said not to admit it, but it can also be said to be an admission, but it is inconvenient to reveal the truth.

At the end of the day, there's something to ask for.

Zhiqing knew in his heart that if he didn't ask for something, Lu Zhaojin would not leave him the branches and leaves of Zhu Danteng.

But what she asked for, Zhiqing didn't dare to think.

Just as she was worried, Zhiqing was also worried, worried about the royal deceit, worried about human nature, and her desire was insatiable.

"Nobleman, nobleman!" The little Taoist priest chased after him, "My master said that you left something." ”

Lu Zhaojin stopped, turned around and handed over a small object wrapped in gray cloth, and muttered: "It's said that the nobles forget things, you are really it, yes." ”

"You little Taoist priest...... Hua Qiao couldn't help but scold, and was stopped by Lu Zhaojin, "Take it." ”

Lu Qi stepped forward to get the cloth bag, which was very lightweight, "Miss, this is ours?" ”

"Well, let's get in the car." Lu Zhaojin boarded the carriage, but his eyes widened, and the rosewood box under the seat of the carriage moved half an inch to the left, obviously moved by someone.

"Who's in the car?" The rare loud voice made the coachman stunned, and hurriedly replied: "The little one has been guarding the car, and no one gets into the car......"

What a carelessness!

Lu Zhaojin suddenly thought of Xiangxiu's words, which was obviously deliberately misleading her.

Let her put all her caution into the Rong Pavilion with the Rong Cream, thus ignoring her own side and giving the other party a chance to start on the road.

It's also because she has always been too comfortable with the space, so she feels that the things around her are also safe.

This time Zhiqing came suddenly, which made her neglect her precautions for a while.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Hua Qiao didn't know why, Lu Zhaojin had already silently got into the car, and the carriage drove towards the Rong Pavilion, but there was silence in the carriage.

Because the rosewood box is already empty.

Thirty boxes of balm, stolen.

"It must be the old Taoist priest who colluded with people!"

"Not necessarily." Lu Zhaojin's eyes were gloomy, and in his previous life, he was famous as a Qing Daoist, and he should not be a person who stole chickens and dogs.

What's more, what Zhiqing wanted from her was not the Grace Cream.

"Don't make a noise just yet." Without this batch of Rong Rong ointment, Yu Rong Pavilion is only afraid of chaos.

At the time of the crown princess's election, she must not lose these ears.

What to do?

Lu Zhaojin frowned and thought about it, Lu Qi suddenly handed over the cloth bag, "Miss, look! (To be continued.) )
