Chapter XVII. Invitation

Three days later, early in the morning, the streets outside Wufu Town resounded with the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and dozens of knights on dusty horses rushed into the town in embarrassment.

At this time, they no longer had the heroism they had left, they were covered in dust when they lost their armor, and many of them even rode in many people, and after rushing into the town and stopped, several horses fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, obviously exhausted their physical strength.

Also, the original five-day journey took them only three days to rush back, not to mention the hardships during the period, and the mental pressure brought by that one grandmaster exhausted their energy, after all, that person was an existence that they could not solve.

Moreover, the number of knights who entered the town was obviously not as good as the number when they left Tongmu Pass, of course, this time there was no battle attrition, but some wounded who needed to recuperate were sent to the homes of farmers along the way.

When Nie Ming, who was drinking tea comfortably in the hall, saw Su Canghai standing in front of the door of the inn in embarrassment, he was really startled.

Because Su Canghai's state at this time is really not good, not to mention that he looks very tired and depressed at this time, it can be seen from the other party's flushed face that he seems to have a fever now.

Nie Ming jumped up and rushed straight towards Su Canghai, and after seeing Nie Ming come to his side, Su Canghai smiled bitterly: "Look at this situation, you haven't received my letter." โ€

"No, but I'll talk about it later, I'll take you back to your room first." Nie Ming said as he leaned over, and after Su Canghai fell softly on his back, he spoke again, "Lin Bo went to get the best doctor, and by the way, Aunt Wang and Aunt Li settled the other brothers." โ€

These people are all employees of the inn, and now that Nie Ming is very close to Zhou Xiaochong, they will naturally listen to what he says.

After giving the order, Nie Ming walked towards the stairs very smoothly, and as he walked, he beckoned Xiao Chong and said, "Miss Zhou, please send a basin of warm water to my room, he should have taken the unclear injury." โ€

Xiao Chong frowned when she heard this, she didn't like these men who liked to fight bravely, but this man had an appetite for him, although she was reluctant, she still walked to the back kitchen.

Nie Ming slowly walked up the stairs, and if someone carefully observed, they would find that every step he took was extremely gentle, and every step would not make Su Canghai behind him feel the vibration, so he fell into a deep sleep without taking a few steps.

Soon Nie Ming walked into his room, and after taking off his dirty clothes and putting them in his bathtub, he also turned around and asked for water.

Soon he and Xiao Chong returned to this room again, Su Canghai, who was lying in the warm water, floated quietly, and the many wounds on his naked body that had just scabbed over began to bleed again after encountering the water.

It was the first time Zhou Xiaozhong had seen such dense and amazing scars, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

Nie Ming said gently: "It is common for children in the rivers and lakes to be injured, but this time he should have encountered an ambush, he is really unlucky, let's simply clean his wounds, and then hand it over to the doctor." โ€

"But why soak him in water, wouldn't it make his wound open?" Zhou Xiaochong asked curiously.

Nie Ming smiled: "This guy is not an ordinary person, it is naturally harmful to others like this, but it is a good thing for him." โ€

After the blood was gone, Nie Ming took Su Canghai out of the water, wiped the water off his body and then sent him to bed, and the rest of the matter was handed over to the doctor.

It was already ten days after Su Canghai had completely recovered, and during this time, the three parties had reached an agreement through letters, trying not to influence each other as much as possible in the mountains, and the result was all up to chance.

After all, this ambush at Tongmu Pass has made them secretly point the finger at the one in the harem, and as for the affairs in the court, they can wait until the court to solve them.

In addition, what happened to them was naturally learned from Su Canghai's mouth during the recuperation period, and I have to say that the one in the deep palace did do a little too much, fortunately, Chen Liang intervened, otherwise Ren Zongheng and Su Canghai might really be left there.

It was also during this period of time that the three forces transferred back the ordinary combat power one after another, and then directly sent less than five elite talents, and the three parties reached a tacit understanding in this way.

And in the shadows, the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to move, the Dongying people are not triggered, and the black hand from the harem does not know where to hide, if you count Nie Ming, who has not officially made a move, then now the little five husbands have a full strength of seven directions.

And the addition of so much strength has caused a lot of uncertainty in the needle, so that this time the mountain of tea has become very interesting.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

Time flies quickly, and the day of the start of the tea picking party is approaching, but the situation on Su Canghai's side is still not progressing, and of course the other two are not comfortable.

It's still early in the morning, it's still the seat near the lake, and it's still Nie Ming and Zhou Xiaochong on the opposite side.

"You'll be in the mountains in a few days." Xiao Chong slowly shook the fan in his hand, and the flame of the small stove flickered and flickered, "Which famous product are you preparing today?" In the past three days, although the tea you have taken out is of the highest quality, there is something missing, and I guess you must have left something good. โ€

"Yes, it's time to go into the mountain, as for what kind of tea is today, can't you see after you open it." Nie Ming took care of the tea set slowly, and his eyes looked at a simple porcelain jar on the table, and there was a shallow mark on the porcelain jar, which was the word "Zhou".

Looking at this Yin Zi Zhou Xiaozhong fell into deep thought, her eyes flashed with all kinds of colors, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After waiting for a long time, Nie Ming spoke: "After I leave the mountain, I hope that the tea I picked by myself will be fried by you." โ€

"Oh? What did you say? Xiao Chong shook her head as if she had just woken up from a dream, and when she reacted, her eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't it too exaggerated for you to let a little girl fry tea?" โ€

"I believe in you." Nie Ming gently unscrewed the porcelain jar as he spoke, and a very strong fragrance rushed out of the jar.

After smelling this aroma, the complexion of the small species sank instantly, and I saw that the shape of the tea in the pot was tight and even, the color was iron green with brown, more oily, there was a natural floral fragrance, the fragrance was not strong, fine and subtle, it was the unique Zhengshan species of Wuyi.

"Five-year-old tea, high-quality Zhengshan small black tea, Master Zhou's posthumous work." Nie Ming put the leaves into the purple clay pot and brewed it with hot water, once or twice, skillfully and smartly, which shows that the attainment of the tea ceremony is also very profound. "I'm sorry you've been running for so many days of tea, I'll make it today."

A cup is full, let it stand for a while, the ripe fragrance is delicate, Zhengshan small species can be drunk hot and cold, but warm tea is more suitable for the scene in the early morning.

"Clear, harmonious, mellow, thick, fragrant, there is no doubt that it is genuine, Nie Gongzi has a heart." There was something indescribable in Xiao Chong's gaze.

"I didn't expect that you would be Mr. Zhou's only daughter, the Zhou family, has never disappointed." Nie Ming let out a long sigh.

During this time here, he also discovered that Zhou Xiaochong was a very talented girl, and in the dead of night, she would silently make tea in a small room in the backyard.

Her technique is very skillful, it is obvious that she is often practicing, and as the only inheritor of the Zhou family, the inheritance she has obtained must be extremely complete, so Nie Ming has great confidence in her.

Zhou Xiaozhong obviously had a little resistance to Nie Ming's request, so she decided to decline this request politely, she smiled and said, "You want me to make a move?" OK! I want the original leaves of the Nine Dragons Mother Tree, not into a big red robe, but also a half-heavenly demon. โ€

"Okay, Kowloon, I'm just going to explore." Drink a cup of warm tea, the taste is mellow and sweet, the throat rhyme is obvious, the Zhengshan small species is smooth and smooth, Nie Ming's momentum continues to change with the artistic conception of tea, "Tea is like life, wait for me to return." โ€

Xiao Chong laughed when he heard this: "Is it so easy to pick tea, outsiders, believe me that the best tea leaves I picked are all the best tea leaves." โ€

"Of course I know, but you just have to wait for the tea to be made, and we're not vegetarians." Nie Ming said confidently.

Zhou Xiaochong looked at the confident other party and asked with a smile: "Do you know the difference between the inner and outer mountains?" โ€

"Naturally, let me tell you what I know." Nie Ming replied with a smile.

It turns out that the traditional Wuyi Mountain is actually divided into two parts, the outer mountain is relatively safe, because human activities are more frequent, so the beasts are not often infested, of course, the tea here is artificially planted, and the quality is relatively average.

The inner mountain is different, the tea trees are scattered in all different corners, the quality, the tea species, everything depends on fate, of course, if you are lucky enough to enter the legendary Nine Dragons, then the tea king must be from you.

But the amazing thing is that no one knows where the Nine Dragons Cave is, and all the people who enter it are due to different karma.

And legend has it that there are fairies in Wuyi, and tea is a gift from nature, and all tea pickers will not act collectively when they enter the mountain, so as not to destroy the peace in the mountain, so the number of places to enter is strictly controlled.

Therefore, only 100 tea pickers have the opportunity to enter the mountain every year. Every time you enter the mountain, there is a large-scale ritual to worship the heavens, to pray for blessings, and possibly to express everyone's wishes for a good harvest.

In order to better survive in the mountains, everyone is dressed in light clothes, perhaps the biggest is a bamboo basket that is carried behind or straddled around the waist. Perhaps that's why the annual rarity is so scarce.

Wuyi Mountain is located in the third branch of the Chinese dragon vein, and at the same time it is one of the 36 blessed places of Taoism, surrounded by mountains, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and countless rare things are hidden in it. We can't know how many things are in the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, but we can only discover them one by one.

Looking at the well-prepared Nie Mingzhou, Xiaozhong nodded: "It seems that you are indeed prepared, then you can come on." โ€

"Okay, you have to prepare well." Nie Ming nodded in response.
