Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Capital

Probably the eyes of the people in the capital area are long to the top of their heads, and when they see people dressed shabby, they know that they look down at people. Resting at the official road post station in Beijing, Zhou Xuanqing's blue coat was already old, and Chang Zizai's pair of pitch-black shoes were stained with a layer of floating white sand, and the two of them were embarrassed.

The Taoists in the capital are all awarded official titles, wear yellow robes, wear scarves, and major in contemplating qi and curing diseases. Therefore, Zhou Xuanqing and Chang Zizi have only been glanced at in a hurry and looked away from the time they entered the door.

The little second at the post station beckoned to the others, and it took a while before he paced over, and his speech was a little perfunctory.

"Two Taoist leaders, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Zhou Xuanqing didn't have time to be annoyed, so he thought for a while and said, "Just two bowls of noodles." ”

Xiao Er left in response.

Chang Zizi picked up a pair of chopsticks and wiped them on his sleeves, looked at the endless stream of carriages and horses in the distance, and said, "You can enter Beijing in half an hour, what are your plans?"

Zhou Xuanqing also casually pinched a pair of chopsticks, put them between his fingers, and turned around: "I'm going to find my master and sister, and it just so happens that my junior brothers and sisters also came to the capital to get together with them." ”

Chang Zizi looked left and right boredly, and suddenly pressed his palm on Zhou Xuanqing's arm, patted it twice, and said, "Hey, Master Hou didn't walk ahead of us, why is he here?"

Zhou Xuanqing was slightly flustered, turned his head to look, and saw a table on the second floor leaning against the railing, surrounded by Mo Huaigu and Lu Shiyi, and Liu Yanshu had his back to this head, and there seemed to be a person sitting opposite him, which happened to be blocked from view.

Zhou Xuanqing said in his heart: Before the anger in his stomach disappeared, these plague gods appeared. If it was before the change, Zhou Xuanqing said that he would go up and distribute the three feet, but after measuring it, it was better to keep a low profile if he had already arrived at the Hou Ye's territory.

Someone is stupid.

Zhou Xuanqing caught a glimpse of Chang Zizi on the side waving his hand and wanted to open his mouth, his heart was not good, and when he saw Xiao Er passing by, he was still holding a plate of steamed buns in his hand, she immediately took one and stuffed it into Chang Zizai's mouth.

"Hou, hmm!" Chang Zizi stared at the steamed bun in his mouth, frowned, and ate it without hurrying or slowing.

Xiao Er saw Fei come and snatched a steamed bun, followed the shadow and looked back, only to find that it was Xiao Daogu.

"Nuguan, even if you rush to attend the sacrificial ceremony of the shrine, you can't grab steamed buns. ”

When he opened his mouth, Zhou Xuanqing couldn't do it if he didn't want to make a statement.

Liu Yanshu's originally depressed eyebrows stretched, the hand holding the wine glass paused, his eyelids raised slightly, and turned sideways.

Unlucky. Zhou Xuanqing supported his forehead with one hand, wanting to make his presence lower.

However, Liu Yanshu saw it and smiled even more playfully.

He glared down and whispered, "Go and call them up." The words were said to Mo Huaigu.

Chang Zizi watched Mo Huaigu happily come down from the stairs, swallowed the last bite of steamed buns, and poked Zhou Xuanqing, who was pretending to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

"Hey, you're coming for us. ”

"Little Daogu, I didn't expect you to be quite fast, so you will catch up with us. Mo Huaigu smiled sincerely, but he didn't know that it fell into Zhou Xuanqing's ears and sounded sarcastic.

Zhou Xuanqing simply put down his hand, stood up in a moment, and looked at Liu Yanshu on the second floor.

You stared back and forth for a while, lifted the hem of your robe, and strode upstairs.

"Hello Master Hou, Xiaodao thought that he had parted ways, but he didn't expect to meet again. As Zhou Xuanqing spoke, he glanced at the other person on the square table - the seven-star sword hanging on his back, the Mo Lan Taoist robe, and the silk embroidered stars.

Zhou Xuanqing was slightly stunned: Could it be that Shenxiao disciple?

Liu Yanshu snapped his fingers and flicked, and said softly: "It seems that you and I are due to fate." It's not too early or too late, but it's okay to meet it. ”

"Hehehe. Zhou Xuanqing laughed dryly, "How noble is Master Hou, I'm afraid this kind of fate path was cultivated in my previous life." ”

Zhou Xuanqing may not be as shrewd as he is, but pretending to be stupid is a good hand.

Liu Yanshu's eyes seemed to be smiling, and he silently threw himself at Zhou Xuanqing, and saw a pair of slender and straight legs hidden under the Taoist robe: this hoof had kicked him, and he used to look suspicious, but now he wanted to grasp it in the palm of his hand.

Realizing that his mind was not right, Liu Yanshu became entangled, frowned, and had a strange expression.

Zhou Xuanqing saw that his eyes were deep and his expression was complicated, so he unconsciously chuckled in his heart: What does Hou Ye mean by looking at his legs?

She stood there awkwardly, her feet together, and she couldn't help but step back.

After a pause, the person opposite Liu Yanshu stood up and said, "Master Hou, this way will go first." ”

After Liu Yanshu bowed, the man turned to face Zhou Xuanqing.

"Long time no see, fellow Daoist. ”

"You are?"

The man didn't recognize himself, Zhou Xuanqing couldn't help but be embarrassed, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Wuliang Mountain, get rid of demons." ”

"Oh! It's you. The Shenxiao disciple clapped his palms together, pointed at her nose and said, "Why don't you see your master?"

Zhou Xuanqing moved a step, "The master of Xiaodao is still vulgar, Xiaodao is here to find a master in the capital." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Yanshu's eyes were fierce, and a trace of impatience crossed his face.

"It's nothing, you better go first. ”

Shenxiao's disciple Rin sank and walked away.

Zhou Xuanqing sat down on the empty seat, as if he had no intention of saying, "Master Hou has a lot of friends." ”

The implication is that Liu Yanshu is not clear. He looked upright and deliberately diverted his words: "Since you are here, Ben Hou will definitely take you to have a good time in the capital." ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are dignitaries and nobles who know Lord Hou, but I am afraid that it will make people misunderstand our relationship. Looking at the trail, for the sake of the first reputation of the Hou Ye and the innocence of the trail, it is better to separate in the capital. ”

"How could Ben Hou ever care about the eyes of the world?" Liu Yanshu said not lightly or seriously, but it made Zhou Xuanqing's heart shake.

~

The prosperity of the capital has attracted people from all over the world. It doesn't matter if you are a famous family or a ranger, the Qionglou Jade Pavilion full of cities, and the dancing pavilions and song platforms are lined up one after another.

Zhou Xuanqing was dazzled when he entered the city, and he felt a sense of joy at first sight: the street shops and vendors were crowded but not crowded, the eaves and iron horses were ringing, not to mention the dazzling array of items. It's a pity that the sun is still hanging high at this moment, and I can't see the beautiful scenery of the eaves and clouds and the lights like rain at night.

Liu Yanshu followed people carelessly, and even put aside many worldly troubles in his heart, and smiled.

It's just that after all, it is the capital, and when Zhenguo Hou entered the post station in Beijing, someone reported his whereabouts to the palace.

was bumped by someone for no reason, and Zhou Xuanqing suddenly felt a line of sight shooting from the back of his head, and the cold wind was blowing.

"What's wrong?" Chang walked freely, and when he saw Zhou Xuanqing stop walking, he was puzzled.

"Nothing, maybe it's an illusion. Zhou Xuanqing felt dizzy again, but fortunately, she stabilized her pace and rested.
