Chapter 41: A Visit from an Old Friend
"Why are you eating these today?" Zhou Li's dissatisfied voice came from the room.
"It's good to eat some, and it's so picky" Zhou Tong didn't seem to be in a good mood today.
"Don't be angry with me, I don't owe you" Unexpectedly, Zhou Li, who has always liked to quarrel, seems to have some intention of letting Zhou Tong go today.
"Master, good morning Uncle Zhou" Lin Xuan walked in at this time.
I saw a few simple side dishes and a plate of steamed buns on the table, this was not like Zhou Tong's style at all, thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but shift his gaze to Zhou Tong, he didn't look at it carefully when he saluted just now, and now he found that today's Zhou Tong is also very different.
Although the clothes are not gorgeous, but they are very neat, the well-groomed beard and hair make the original aging face show the original handsomeness, even if there are a few wrinkles, but it is more like the carving of the years, so that Zhou Tong exudes a charming temperament, in comparison, Zhou Li, who is sitting at the dining table in coarse linen clothes, is simply an unsightly bad old man.
"Uncle Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xuan, who was so abnormal, was quite puzzled.
"People's sweethearts are coming," Zhou Li, who was chewing steamed buns, glanced at Zhou Tong and said.
"She won't come" Zhou Tong knew that person, she wouldn't come to see her.
Originally, Lin Xuan thought that the master was ridiculing Uncle Zhou, but he didn't expect Zhou Tong to answer seriously, it turned out that Uncle Zhou really had some unknown secrets? Lin Xuan was a little curious, it should be said that he was quite curious.
"Seriously, how are you going to entertain them?" Zhou Tong asked Zhou Li.
"All I eat is these things, and they just do the same," Zhou Li said angrily as he picked up the dishes on the table that didn't even have meat foam on the table with his chopsticks.
"Who's coming?" Lin Xuan has only captured the key point, it seems that someone will visit today.
"An old friend" Zhou Li stopped his chopsticks, and there seemed to be remembrance in his eyes.
"Hello, please pass it on behalf of your old friend when you come to visit," a deep voice came from the door when Lin Xuan was cleaning the house.
Lin Xuan looked up and saw a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes standing quietly at the door, looking at him with a smile.
This person's face was something Lin Xuan had never seen before, if it was used to describe him as dignified, it was too simple, handsome and extraordinary, but it couldn't express his temperament, especially those eyes, even if they were full of kindness to him at the moment, Lin Xuan could still feel that those eyes could devour everything in this world.
"The tiredness was all over," this person didn't get angry when he saw Lin Xuan looking at him like this, but reiterated his intention again.
"Oh" Lin Xuan reacted at this time and turned around to report back to Zhou Li, but he was curious about this person to the peak.
Zhou Li slowly walked out of the room, looking at the person standing at the door, his eyes were full of memories.
"What, I'm not welcome?" The man looked at Zhou Li and smiled slightly.
"Is there a place in the world where you can't go?" Zhou Li also smiled slightly and made a gesture of please.
"What should I call you, the prince is still ......," Zhou Li asked after the man came in.
"Jiang Wang, I like my friends to call me by my name," Jiang Wang said to Zhou Li.
At this time, Lin Xuan finally knew who the man in front of him was, Jiang Wang, the king of Zhenbei, a legendary existence, the uncrowned king of the Northern Regions of Great Qi, with the world's first iron horseman, "Sky Wolf Rider", who had been guarding the mighty grassland in northern Xinjiang for many years, so that all the departments of the grassland did not dare to make trouble for many years. It is said that Jiang Wang is the north of Sirius's main town on the grassland.
"You haven't set foot in the Central Plains for so many years, is there something wrong with this time?" Zhou Li invited Jiang Wang into the room and asked.
"No way, this year, His Majesty specially recruited me to Beijing to report on my work, and I happened to pass by here, so I came here to get together," Jiang Wang took the tea handed by Zhou Tong and looked at him seriously.
"Their pair is really regretful," Zhou Li knew that the pain of lovesickness was just who made Zhou Tong fall in love with a woman who shouldn't be loved, and it was destined to be fruitless.
Jiang Wang didn't speak, and no one could make decisions for the parties in terms of emotional matters, even the King of Zhenbei, who was the mighty world.
"Xuan'er, there's nothing for you here, go to Qi Yi," Zhou Li turned to Lin Xuan who was standing aside and said.
Although Lin Xuan was a little reluctant, the master had already spoken, so he had no choice but to leave.
"Your apprentice is good," seeing that Lin Xuan had already left, Jiang Wang opened his mouth and praised.
"It's an honor for the apprentice to be praised by the King of Zhenbei," Zhou Li didn't seem to be willing to talk to Jiang Wang about Lin Xuan.
"Why, protect him like this?" Jiang Wang naturally knew the reason, but when he saw Zhou Li's appearance of protecting the calf, he couldn't help but ridicule.
"How many people in this world who are related to you have a good end?" Zhou Li's words were definitely a mockery for Jiang Wang.
"I don't want to be a plague god either, but your master won't let me go, what can I do?" Jiang Wang was cold, and the atmosphere around him instantly dropped to freezing.
"I've already resigned" In such a situation, even Zhou Li frowned, he hadn't seen Jiang Wang's domineering spirit for many years, and it was already terrifying, just a little release would have such an impact.
"You and I both know that it is easy to withdraw from the court, but it is impossible to leave the political whirlpool," Jiang Wang knew the purpose of coming this time, so he restrained his momentum.
"What do you want?" Zhou Li knew that Jiang Wang's visit this time was definitely for a purpose.
"I want you to help me bring a message to Zhaoming" This is the purpose of Jiang Wang's trip.
Lin Xuan's mind still had Jiang Wang's figure, even though the person had been smiling, he felt a danger from this person that he had never felt before. What exactly did he come here for? Lin Xuan's brain was telling that he didn't believe that such a person would come to Master for no reason, and as for saying that it was an old friend, he really didn't see how much friendship Master had with him.
Unconsciously, Lin Xuan actually walked to the street of Ning County, and saw a group of people gathering together and didn't know what to do?
"Whoever can thread through my delicate pearls, I will give him a hundred taels of silver," shouted a hawker, and many people around him watched curiously.
"A handful of five cents is a small and a big one," the vendor held a round bead in one hand, and a thin thread in the other, and many people around him were tempted and eager to try.
The first to go up was a young man in his early twenties, who carefully gestured for a long time after paying the money, but there was no way to pass the thread through, but he was tired and sweating profusely.
One does not become the other, and five cents can earn a hundred taels The greed of the surrounding people was mobilized, and after a while, this peddler made a lot of money.
Lin Xuan felt a little bored after watching it for a while, the peddler just took advantage of people's greed and didn't do anything illegal, so he didn't want to do anything more.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to leave, a pleasant voice sounded, "I'll try."
I saw a boy in white walking out, and in terms of appearance, he was not inferior to Lin Xuan, and he was even more playful than him.
Lin Xuan looked at this person with interest, not because of his outstanding appearance, but because this person turned out to be a daughter.
