Chapter Eighty-Eight: No Place to Be Ashamed
Lu Cangliu apologized, went to the gate of the mansion, and welcomed Sima Ao in.
As soon as he entered the guest hall, Sima Ao found that Nangong Zhu was present, and he was not surprised: "The city lord of Nangong came to visit early in the morning." β
Nangong Zhu smiled elegantly: "Commander Sima is not too late. β
Sima Ao was secretly suspicious, looking at Nangong Zhu's red face, he should have gained something, right?
can't hesitate any longer, otherwise Lu Qingchen will definitely fall to the Wen Mansion completely.
"Lord Lu, this commander is here to hire Prince Ling to serve as the deputy commander of the forbidden army." Sima Ao got straight to the point.
What the?
Everyone's surprise was not inferior to Nangong Die's marriage to Lu Qingchen.
It is true that the forbidden army likes to promote young and promising juniors, but it is usually promoted step by step, starting with the deputy general.
It is unheard of to be promoted to deputy commander in one go.
Ye Lanqing was dumbfounded.
If it is said that Nangong Die has no knowledge of people and is willing to commit himself to marrying, then is it difficult for the dignified commander to be old and confused?
She suddenly realized that she couldn't see through her cousin.
"Thank you for the kindness of Commander Sima, Qingchen has been away from the forbidden army for a year, and he is used to being casual, I am afraid that he will not be able to take the position of deputy commander." Lu Qingchen refused.
Joining the forbidden army will be restricted in many ways, and you will not be able to be free.
The biggest advantage of the forbidden army is resources, but unfortunately, Lu Qingchen no longer needs the resources of the forbidden army.
Moreover, joining the forbidden army means joining the martial arts, and his father has repeatedly reminded him that he has arranged another road for him, and it is even more impossible for him to agree.
Sima Ao's face suddenly couldn't hold back, he never expected Lu Qingchen to refuse directly.
At this time, Lu Qingchen said again: "At the beginning of the Fengyun Meeting, thanks to the Heavenly Silkworm Golden Silk Armor presented by Commander Sima, Qingchen has been grateful to this day, although I can't join the forbidden army, but if the forbidden army needs me, Qingchen will never refuse." β
In this way, Sima Ao's expression was soothed.
The old man rolled his eyes, and he said: "It just so happens that the new Praetorian Guard is about to serve, and an instructor is needed to train them for a month, do you have time?" β
In fact, he never expected Lu Qingchen to re-enter the forbidden army.
The so-called good horses don't eat back grass, with Lu Qingchen's excellence, the little lonely boat city is destined to not be able to accommodate him, not to mention the forbidden army that once expelled him?
As long as Lu Qingchen can ease relations with the forbidden army, this trip will not be in vain.
"Just like that, Qingchen agreed." Lu Qingchen said.
Sima Ao's heart was comfortable, and he showed a smile: "Haha, Lu Gongzi is refreshing!" β
The two giants got what they wanted, but neither of them left, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for the laughter and conversation they gathered.
Seeing that noon was approaching, Lu Cangliu said: "Nangong City Lord, Sima Da Commander, two adults are coming to the door, Lu Mansion is full of brilliance, and I hope that the two of them will appreciate their faces and eat in Lu Mansion, and Lu will order to go down." β
"It's still not necessary, there is something in the house, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." Nangong Zhu waved his hand.
Commander Sima also politely refused.
It's not that the two of them don't want to appreciate their faces, but if they reward this face, Lu Fu can't take it.
The two of them are strong men in the Dachen position, eating a herd of cattle every day, and the usual meals are prepared in the house a day in advance.
How can Lu Fu prepare the ingredients for the two of them in a hurry?
What's more, it wasn't the two of them here, there were many strong people, and the consumption of ingredients was even more amazing.
Ye Lanqing shook her head helplessly: "My uncle's family is sad enough, and finally the lord of the mansion and the general came to the door, but because the family business is too small, I can't afford to entertain them." β
After thinking about it, she stood up and said, "Uncle, why don't you just use mine, today's ingredients have arrived at the ferry, and they can be transported now." β
For the sake of kinship, Ye Lanqing decided to help.
Nangong Zhu and Commander Sima looked embarrassed, and the Lu Mansion needed the help of outsiders to satisfy their meal, which sounded a little bleak and embarrassing.
Will they stay, or will they not?
Lu Cangliu was also a little embarrassed, and sighed silently, after all, the Lu Mansion is still too small, which makes people look at jokes!
At this moment, Lu Qingchen stood up and said, "Thanks to the city lord and the great commander for their willingness to appreciate their faces, it is better to let Qingchen entertain the two of you and everyone present." β
At present, Lu Qingchen does not allow Lu Fu to lose face.
"Yun'er, prepare lunch."
Yun'er understood, left the guest hall, came to a no-man's land, quietly took out dozens of exquisite snow crystal spirit rice from the burden on her back, placed them neatly on the tray, and then walked back with a smile and put them in the center of the dining table.
Lu Qingchen stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, please use it slowly." β
Uh-
You look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.
Although the background of the Lu Mansion is poor, you can take a few fruits for lunch, isn't it like it?
Nangong Die whispered: "Brother Qingchen, don't you want to use a few fruits to send everyone away, right?" My grandfather and Commander Sima were both Dachen warriors, and they had to eat a herd of cows. β
"It doesn't matter." Lu Qingchen said.
With the essence of the exquisite snow crystal spirit rice, the Dachen rank martial artist will have a full stomach with two grains at most.
Commander Sima looked embarrassed, and he couldn't eat it now, and he couldn't eat it.
Ye Lanqing wrapped her arms around her chest, looked at Lu Qingchen's father and son coldly, and shook her head in disappointment.
The cousin just messed around, but the uncle-in-law indulged.
The entire Lu Mansion gave her a very bad feeling, and she had to describe it in one sentence, that is, the mud couldn't support the wall.
The two giants came and gave favors, but their father and son did not know how to cherish it, but they were willful and messing around, what could such a family have in the future?
"Uncle, let's use my ingredients." Ye Lanqing used up the last of her patience.
However, since the fruits were brought to the table, Nangong Zhu's old eyes had been staring at them and falling into deep thought.
At this moment, he said thoughtfully: "How can this thing look like a Xuan-level high-grade spiritual rice that has been extinct for 30,000 years?" β
Well? Everyone was stunned.
Nangong Zhu is known for its erudition, knowledge, and knowledge, which can be called the living fossil of the Lonely Boat City.
He never spoke without purpose, and Sima Ao couldn't help but stare at the fruit again, and said, "Nangong Mansion Master, you say this is Lingmi?" β
Nangong Zhu nodded and shook his head: "I accidentally saw an illustration in an ancient book, and I don't remember it very clearly, it seems to be called Linglong or something." β
"It's Linglong Snow Crystal Spiritual Rice." I don't know who it is, I said softly.
Nangong Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "That's right!" It's the exquisite snow crystal spirit rice! Xuan-level high-grade spiritual rice! β
He looked at the person who spoke, it was Lu Qingchen, and said in surprise: "Could it really be the extinct Exquisite Snow Crystal Spirit Rice?" β
Lu Qingchen chuckled indifferently: "Don't you know if you taste it?" β
Nangong Zhu was excited, took one, tried a bite on the spot, and in an instant, the sweetness that melted in his mouth accompanied by the rich essence poured into his body.
He stared at him in amazement, "This ...... This kind of rich essence is three times that of the Hundred Spice Phoenix Tail Spirit Rice! Definitely the best Lingmi! β
What the? Everyone was shocked and stepped forward to try.
When I tasted it, I was amazed.
With Sima Ao's calmness, he couldn't help but be moved.
Ye Lanqing was slightly stunned, Lingmi? Or is it superior? How can it be?
The only spiritual rice in the principality is the Xuan-level inferior Hundred Spice Phoenix Tail Spiritual Rice, which belongs to the exclusive supply of the Imperial Palace.
How could a low-end family in a low-end city have a Xuan-level high-grade spiritual rice?
Lu Cangliu noticed that Ye Lanqing was isolating the crowd, took a spiritual rice and handed it to her, and said, "Qingqing also taste it." β
Ye Lanqing hesitated, her crystal eyes were filled with deep suspicion, and she took it and tasted it.
With just one bite, her eyes widened and her head went blank.
She has a few spiced phoenix tail spirit rice on her, which is used for a long journey and has no ingredients on the way.
She is very familiar with the Hundred Spice Phoenix Tail Ling Rice.
Because of this, it can be confirmed that the essence of this fruit is more than three times that of the Hundred Spice Phoenix Tail Spiritual Rice.
This is indeed the best spiritual rice!
After being stunned for a long time, she looked unnatural: "Uncle, before I came, did you keep eating such spiritual rice?" β
Lu Cangliu said embarrassedly: "Yes, because Lingmi was found by Qingchen, so without his consent, my uncle-in-law will not dare to make his own decisions for you." β
Ye Lanqing didn't care about this, her face was embarrassed: "So, you forced yourself to eat the ingredients I brought?" β
She understands very well what it would be like for people who are used to Lingmi to eat ordinary food again.
It's probably only a little better than chewing wax.
"Well...... Lu Qingchen snorted: "It's not bad to taste ordinary ingredients once in a while." β
Ye Lanqing suddenly felt embarrassed.
She was proud of the special ingredients, and thought that it was a favor for the people of Lufu to eat, but in fact, it was Lu Cangliu who took care of her emotions, endured the unswallowable pain, and accompanied her to eat.
Moreover, she suddenly remembered Lu Qingchen's seemingly crazy words.
"You don't have to eat dinner, there are too many impurities in those ingredients, and eating too much is not beneficial to cultivation."
At that time, I felt that Lu Qingchen was naΓ―ve and ignorant, and he didn't even understand special ingredients.
Now I know that his words are nothing more than normal.
For a person who is accustomed to spiritual rice, no matter how strong the aura is, it can be called "too many impurities".
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but blush, she was embarrassed in front of her cousin!
At the same time, she suddenly felt that Lu Fu and Lu Qingchen, who she couldn't look down on, were suddenly tall and mysterious.
Can a third-rate small family be visited by two giants at the same time? Can you have Lingmi, which has been extinct for 30,000 years?
The ignorant and fearless cousin can be recruited by the lord of the mansion to marry his granddaughter, and can he be favored by the young lady? Can you get the important task of deputy commander entrusted by Commander Sima?
Something must be extraordinary about my cousin!
After lunch, everyone was still immersed in the delicious taste of Lingmi.
"Master Lu, where did you buy your spiritual rice, can you tell me?" Nangong Zhu asked.
When everyone heard this, they pricked up their ears and were curious.
Lu Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "It was sold to me by Shixiang Pavilion, if the city lord wants it, I can contact the owner of Fengmanlou on my behalf......
Before he finished speaking, Nangong Zhu's old face twitched slightly, and said, "I just asked, I didn't mean to buy it, cough cough ......."
The rest of the people's faces were unnatural, and they never mentioned Lingmi again.
Lu Qingchen was secretly funny, the owner of the building was really notorious, and the slightest mention of it would scare them off their inquiry.
Everyone chatted for a while, Sima Ao knocked on the side, and learned that Nangong Zhu came to marry Lu Fu, and couldn't help but blow his beard and stare at him.
