Chapter 221: Searching for a Son

"The willow silk is long and the jade is difficult to tie, and I hate to hang the slanting light in the sparse forest~"

In the imperial garden, Jiang Beiran was sitting on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, while Kong Qianqian on the side was singing the words he had just learned.

Just when everyone in the imperial garden was intoxicated by Kong Qianqian's poignant singing, Jiang Beiran suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Let's all stand down, I'm a little tired." ”

"Yes."

When everyone heard this, they slowly withdrew from the Imperial Garden.

When everyone retreated, Jiang Beiran stretched out a finger and stopped in front of him, and in the next second, a black shadow swept down from the air and stopped firmly on his finger.

β€œgiao~giao~”

Ying hummingbird shouted with its mouth wide open.

casually took out a piece of scaly beast meat from the Qiankun ring and threw it to the Ying hummingbird, the Ying hummingbird took it in its mouth, happily flapped its wings twice, and handed a small bamboo tube to Jiang Beiran.

Opening the bamboo tube, Jiang Beiran took out the rolled up letter paper from it, opened it and saw that it was actually sent by Li Fucheng.

Quickly browsed the letter, the words in the letter were very earnest, it was even more fragrant than the sycophants of the ministers in the recital, and when he saw the end, Jiang Beiran knew that he had something to ask for.

After taking out a piece of paper from the Qiankun ring and writing down two lines of words, and putting it back into the bamboo tube, Jiang Beiran stuffed it into the feathers of the Ying hummingbird.

β€œgiao~giao~”

With two flaps of its wings, the hummingbird turned into a black shadow and quickly disappeared into the air.

Standing up, Jiang Beiran determined the direction a little, and disappeared into the imperial garden in an instant.

At dusk, beside the Jin River, which was burning like fire by the sun, Jiangbei Ran looked far away, thinking about a philosophical question of life.

'What are you going to have for dinner today?' ’

Before he could get an answer, Jiang Beiran heard the voice of Li Fucheng behind him.

"See Your Majesty."

Jiang Beiran turned around slowly and found that Li Fucheng was still followed by someone.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's gaze sweeping, the man immediately arched his hand and said, "Under Huo Zhishang, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"He's the man you said you wrote about?" Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and asked.

Li Fucheng nodded, and arched his hand: "Exactly, Brother Huo is chivalrous and courageous, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats after entering my world, and his character and cultivation are all of the highest grade, and he was even more ...... a few days ago."

Listening to Li Fucheng's tone as if he was reporting to the gang leader how good the newly recruited junior brother was, Jiang Beiran waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the point." ”

Li Fucheng was just about to speak, but Huo Zhishang stepped forward and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Li, let me say it myself." ”

"It's fine." Li Fucheng nodded and took a step back.

First bowed to Jiangbeiran, Huo Zhishang said: "Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, Fengzhou has taken on a new look, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Say."

"I have a son, named Wenkang, my son is to me, heavy and heavy, and then ......" Huo Zhishang said and sighed: "Seven years ago, when I entered Fengyi Village, because I was chased and killed by the enemy, I hid my son in a haystack, but there were too many enemies, and it took half a month for me to get out, but when I returned, I couldn't find him again." ”

'...... seven years ago'

Muttering in his heart, Jiang Beiran asked again: "How old was Ling Lang when he lost it?" ”

"The age of infancy."

It's a little more difficult...... It was lost when he was a baby, and after seven years, even his father couldn't recognize his son even if he was face to face. ’

Seeing Jiang Beiran frowning, Huo Zhishang sighed and said: "In the past seven years, I have been looking for everything, and I have never found news of my son, so I have the cheekiness to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can find him, my seven-foot body will be driven by Your Majesty for the rest of my life!" ”

Jiang Beiran just wanted to ask more after listening, but saw three options jump out.

[Option 1: Reject Huo Zhishang.] Completion Reward: Hundred Guns (Lower Grade)】

[Option 2: Promise to send someone to help him find his son.] Completion Reward: Feng Xu Treasure (Xuan Rank Medium Grade)】

[Option 3: Help him find his son in person.] Completion Reward: +1 for random basic skill points]

"Oh?"

Jiang Beiran couldn't help but be a little surprised after reading it, what is the origin of his son, he has to find it in person, or does Huo Zhishang have any huge influence?

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Beiran chose to open his mouth three times and said: "I see, if you lose your son, you will be extremely anxious to change anyone, I can help you in this matter." ”

Huo Zhishang trembled after hearing this, and knelt directly on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

[Option quest completed, reward: Alchemy +1]

"Excuse me, do you have any personal belongings for your son?"

Huo Zhishang listened and thought for a moment, took out a pair of embroidered shoes from the Qiankun ring and said: "These embroidered shoes were worn by my children when they were young, and I have kept them to this day, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

"Yes."

Taking the embroidered shoes and putting them in the Qiankun ring, Jiang Beiran continued: "Write down your son's birthday and hand it to me, it would be better if there was a portrait." ”

"This ...... It's no problem to generate eight characters, but this portrait, I'm a rough person, and I can't do anything about it. Huo Zhishang said helplessly.

"Do you remember what your son looked like?"

"Remember! For seven years! Never forget! Huo Zhishang said firmly.

"In that case, you say, I'll draw it, and try to describe it clearly."

Huo Zhishang was overjoyed after hearing this, and nodded again and again: "Your Majesty is really a celestial!" ”

Setting up the drawing board and adjusting the paint, Jiang Beiran nodded towards Huo Zhishang, signaling that he could start describing.

Half an hour later, Huo Zhishang looked at the baby boy in the sketchpad, and a tear couldn't stop falling from the corner of his eye.

"Kang'er...... My son! ”

Holding back the sadness in his heart, Huo Zhishang saluted Jiang Beiran again and said: "Your Majesty's painting skills can be described as miraculous, I admire it!" The son on this painting is the appearance of my son. ”

"In that case, you go back and wait for news first, Fucheng, you stay."

After hearing this, Huo Zhishang knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Beiran, and then turned to leave.

When Huo Zhishang walked away, he couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, even ......"

"Don't talk about this nonsense, I ask you, who is this Huo Zhishang?"

Li Fucheng, who was interrupted, was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yunzhou County, people from Huzun Town." ”

The reason why Jiang Beiran wanted to ask this was naturally curious about Huo Zhishang's ability to trigger the prefecture-level option.

"How did you get acquainted?"

"A few months ago, I went through a bloody battle in Gangnianzhuang and almost died of exhaustion, but fortunately with the help of Brother Huo, we escaped death, and then we became brothers in life and death." After Li Fucheng finished speaking, he asked a little uneasily: "Could it be that the emperor, what do you think is wrong with him?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.

'Hmm??? ’

Li Fucheng was stunned for a moment, he thought that Brother Wang would answer, "Not really", but he didn't expect to nod directly to confirm, which made him a little unsure of how to answer.

"Keep an eye on him when you go back, and report anything unusual to me in time."

"Yes!" Li Fucheng nodded with his hand.

"Well, you can go too."

Waiting for Li Fucheng to say goodbye and leave, Jiang Beiran picked up embroidered shoes and found a vacant space.

Just like looking for Mu Yao before, Jiang Beiran first set up the Six Directions Truth Listening Array, and then picked up the Ruyi Lottery holder and began to look for Huo Wenkang, who had been lost for seven years.

With his personal belongings and mastering his birth date and physiognomy, it was much easier for him to find Mu Yaolai than Mu Yaolai, who was locked up in a heavy array.

There it is. ’

After locking the position of Huo Wenkang's aura, Jiang Beiran broke through the air to the southwest.

Anxing County, Wushu County.

Jiang Beiran, dressed in civilian clothes, walked onto the street, and not far in front of him, there was a young man who was selling.

"Champion dish! Sell the top dishes! ”

The loud shouts immediately attracted many onlookers.

"Why is your dish called the champion dish?"

"Isn't it just ordinary cabbage?"

"yes, it doesn't make a difference at all."

Looking at the more and more guests gathered, the young man smiled and said, "You uncles and aunts still don't know? Liu Jiangnian in the town was the champion who ate my champion dish and was admitted to the top prize! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

"You little doll, you don't learn well at a young age, if you can get into the top prize by eating a few cabbages, then I would have been an official in Ningdu a long time ago."

"That's it, you're just an ordinary cabbage."

"Really, it's not good to learn from anyone, learn from those charlatans."

It seemed that he had expected everyone's reaction, and the young man laughed and said, "Uncles and aunts, I guessed that you didn't believe me, so I specially invited that Liu Jiangnian." ”

As soon as the young man's words fell, a young man dressed as a scholar walked up to the young man and saluted everyone: "Contemptible Liu Jiangnian, I have seen all the fathers and fellow villagers. ”

At this time, several people in the crowd immediately shouted: "Ouch! Hey, what a champion! ”

"That's right! That's him! I saw him when the list was released. ”

"It's really Zhuangyuanlang here, quick, shallot, go up and hug that big brother, and be talented."

At this time, the young man blocked all the crowds who were about to rush up and watch, and said: "Hey! Don't be in a hurry to envy everyone, this champion Lang, he just ate my family's champion dishes to get the champion, as long as you buy it back for your children to eat, you don't have to envy him. ”

After listening to this, Liu Jiangnian immediately continued: "That's right, it is precisely since I started to eat the champion dishes of this Qu family that I feel that I am quick to think and write like a god, which is really wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

As soon as he heard that Zhuangyuanlang personally admitted that he was only admitted to Zhuangyuanlang after eating Zhuangyuanlang's dishes, the onlookers exploded.

"How much does this top dish cost!? Get me one! ”

"I want it too, I want it too! I have three children, I want three! ”

"Get me one too! I want the big one! ”

……

Facing the enthusiastic crowd, the young man slowly raised two fingers and said, "Two coins and one silver." ”

"What!? Two pieces of silver!? Why don't you grab it! ”

"That's it! It's not as fast as you! ”

"Other people only sell cabbage for a few pennies!"

Looking at the excited fathers and villagers, the young man slowly shook his head and said: "Uncles and aunts, I said that I am the champion dish, and I can win the champion after eating it!" Is two coins expensive? If your child can get the top prize, it will be worth more than gold! ”

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, and finally a man scolded hatefully: "Two coins are two dollars, give me one!" ”

With the first buy, there will naturally be a second.

And as more and more people rushed to buy it, the rest of the people were afraid that the vegetables would be robbed, so they hurried home to get the money.

Seeing that the "champion dish" was quickly snatched up, Jiang Beiran simply called it an expert, a gimmick, an image spokesperson, and a dog...... That's everything, and the price of selling cabbage for silver is really amazing.

Waiting for the last group of vegetable buyers to leave, the teenager also quickly closed the stall and left, half an hour later, in a ruined temple outside the city, the teenager, the champion, and the dog gathered together.

"Come, your, your, mine, your, mine, your, my, my, my ......"

"Hey! It's all yours! ”

Seeing that there was more and more silver in front of the young man, a strong man in charge of the trust shouted.

"I came up with the idea, and you all came from me, so naturally I took the lion's head, is there a problem?"

"But without us, you wouldn't be able to make this money!"

Seeing that the others also nodded, the young man looked around at them and asked, "Is it easy to make this money?" ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally nodded, "Easy." ”

"Do you want to make money like this?"

"Of course!" Everyone replied in unison.

"That's! In the future, you will earn more than you yourself, and you will have a far-sighted vision, do you understand? ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that there was some truth, after all, there was no young man in front of them to organize them, not to mention silver, even copper plates would not be able to earn a few.

The young man who continued to start distributing the spoils looked at Liu Jiangnian and said, "How many times have I told you, when you come out, you have to be a little more crepe, and say more words that they don't understand, otherwise they will easily suspect you." ”

Liu Jiangnian nodded immediately after hearing this: "Got it, Brother Xiaoyou." ”

"And you!" The young man pointed to the other two young people, "The next time you start a coax, be a little faster, a little louder, you have to show that you have a lot of confidence, you know." ”

"Got it." The two youths nodded.

Soon, all the silver was divided, and the young man wrapped his share and said, "Okay, I'll see you under the willow tree in three days, I'll take my leave first!" After speaking, the first one walked out of the broken temple.

All the way to the east, Jiang Beiran followed the young man and turned left and right to a village.

This village is obviously a place where the benefits of the new government decree have been eaten, and there are many men in the village, who have just returned from ploughing, and they will say hello when they see a teenager.

"Xiao Dongzi, where did you run away again, your grandmother is looking for you everywhere."

"Hey! Xiao Dongzi! Run slower! If you are hungry, come to your aunt's house to eat cakes. ”

"Xiao Dongzi! I'll bring you what you wanted. ”

"Okay, I'll get it later~"

In reply, the young man ran into a dilapidated thatched hut, looked at an old man who was sick in bed, and said, "Grandpa, are you feeling better today?" ”

"Ahem...... Cough! , you little monkey, where did you go again. The old man asked weakly.

"I'm not going to give you medicine." After speaking, the young man opened his cloth bag: "Look, I have caught so many medicines for you, and you will definitely be fine if you drink them all." ”

"Ahem...... Cough! The old man coughed violently a few times, "Why did you get so many medicines, if you stole them, see that I don't break your legs." ”

"Oops~ Grandpa, how can I steal it, if you don't believe it, I swear!" After the young man finished speaking, he pointed to heaven and said, "I, Qian Xiaodong, swear ......"

"Phew! Ouch, what swear a child makes, beware of naivety accepting you. Then an old woman walked in from outside the door and shouted.

"Grandma~" Qian Xiaodong happily threw himself into the old woman's arms and said.

"You little skin monkey, where did you go crazy again?" The old woman asked very dotingly.

"I'm going to get medicine for grandpa, grandma, you take care of grandpa first, I'll go out to decoct the medicine, this time I will definitely make grandpa better."

Looking at the warm family in front of him, Jiang Beiran, who was not far away, touched his chin and thought about how to open this mouth.
