As one of the most luxurious restaurants in the capital of the Great Qiandi Emperor, Wanjiang Tower is always full of guests and the flow of people is endless.

At noon, the restaurant was full, and in the luxurious private room in the innermost room on the second floor, six men were pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing.

"It's a rebellion again, it's a war again, and our brothers haven't been together for a while. "The person who spoke was the second son of the prime minister's family, the eldest grandson was fearless.

"Although there have been many twists and turns, the results have been good. Zhong Wen smiled and said, "Xiao Linzi's father and official have been reinstated, General Xue and General Zeng have made military achievements and returned triumphantly, I am afraid that Xue Zeng's two elder brothers will also follow suit, and Brother Shuyun has been promoted to the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, which is really gratifying." ”

"When you say that, it seems that I am the only one who has not reaped any benefits. The eldest grandson fearless deliberately made a look of indignation, causing everyone to laugh.

"Brother Zhongwen, I really envy you, you can go to the front line to kill the enemy. Xue Pingxi's eyes were full of yearning, "I don't know why, this time in the Xiqi battle, my father didn't let me go with me." ”

"You haven't married a wife and had children yet, how can Old General Xue be willing to let you go to the battlefield?" Zeng Xiaoxian quipped, "If you want to go out to fight, why don't you find a daughter-in-law and work hard?"

"Go, go!" suffers from urging marriage every day, and now as soon as he hears the word "daughter-in-law", Xue Pingxi feels his scalp tingle and is frightened.

"Brother Xue, I'm on the front line, and I'm just a doctor. Zhong Wen raised his wine glass and drank it all, "There's nothing to be blushing about." ”

"You don't come. The eldest grandson Wudaunt rolled his eyes, "The legend of Immortal Zhong, we haven't heard much in the imperial capital these days." ”

"Yes, what kind of whipping and breaking the stream, scattering beans into soldiers, it is really more and more evil. Zeng Xiaoxian echoed, "There is also the most exaggerated, saying that Zhong Shenxian stared at hundreds of thousands of people with one eye, and almost scared me." ”

"Xiao Lin, why don't you speak?" Shu Yun saw that Brother Lin Chao was just drinking with his head bowed alone, without saying a word, and couldn't help but say with concern, "Is it unwell?"

"No, no. Brother Lin glanced at Zhong Wen, who was talking and laughing, and said, "I'm probably a little tired." ”

Facing Zhong Wen, his mood was extremely complicated, not so much hatred and jealousy, but envy and inferiority to be more accurate.

As soon as she saw Zhong Wen's face, Zheng Yueting's beautiful face and slender figure would jump into her mind, and she couldn't barely squeeze out a smile.

"Then go back and rest early. Shu Yun said empathetically, "Recently, everyone has not had an easy time, and it is natural that they have accumulated some fatigue. ”

"Hmm. Shu Yun's words of concern warmed Brother Lin's heart.

"Brother Zhong Wen, why are you in such a hurry to go back to southern Xinjiang?" Xue Pingxi was already a little drunk, holding a wine glass in one hand and Zhong Wen's arm in the other, and said reluctantly, "Why don't you play in the imperial capital for a few more days?"

"I haven't been back to Qingfeng Mountain for too long, and I miss it very much. Zhong Wen clinked glasses with him passionately and said, "I won't stay much this time, and if I have time in the future, I will often come to the imperial capital to visit you." ”

"Brother Zhong Wen is in such a hurry to go back, I'm afraid that what I miss is not Qingfeng Mountain. Zeng Xiaoxian showed a lewd smile on his face, "Which beauty is it?"

When Zhong Wen heard this, Yin Ning'er's beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind, as well as the delicate pink face like a little Lori porcelain doll, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a warm smile.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back to your Qingfeng Mountain!" Seeing his expression, the eldest grandson fearless only said that he was missing his lover, and couldn't help but joke loudly, "Now you, you feel annoying when you look at it." ”

In the private room, there were bursts of giggling and laughing sounds in an instant.

......

Since the return of "Wanjiang Tower", the sky has darkened, since he cultivated the "Five Yuan Divine Skill" and was promoted to Lingzun, Zhong Wen's physique has been greatly improved, even if he does not use his spiritual power and drinks wine for nearly two hours, he is not drunk.

It's late September, and although the climate is still hot, the autumn evening breeze blows on your body, but it brings a cool feeling.

Everywhere in front of the restaurants and green buildings have been hung in front of the special crystal lanterns of different colors and shapes, and the whole street is full of colorful and colorful people, immersed in a sea of joy, as if these many changes in recent days have never happened.

Zhong Wen paced slowly, shuttling through the crowd, admiring the gorgeous night scene, his eyes unblinking, as if he wanted to turn into a camera, take pictures of the entire imperial capital, and store them in his mind.

After a while, as if tired of the hustle and bustle of people, Zhong Wen turned right at the intersection, turned into a remote path, and after two more intersections, a simple two-story building suddenly came into view.

The small building is sparsely populated in front of the door, and there are two ordinary red spiritual crystal lamps hanging on the left and right of the main entrance, looking from a distance, like a monster with two eyes shining and opening its mouth, wanting to swallow the few pedestrians into its belly.

On the plaque above the main entrance, the four big characters of "Qingfeng Restaurant" are written in Daqian characters.

Although Zhong Wen didn't know these words, he still remembered the appearance of the restaurant.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally pushed open the main entrance of the restaurant, turned left directly, and stepped on the second floor with familiarity.

A familiar white figure came into view.

"Uncle Li, is there another person to drink?" Zhong Wen greeted with a grin.

"Isn't this the famous Zhong Shenxian?" Li Jiuye didn't wear a hat, but he rubbed his beard on his face, which was a disguise, and when he saw Zhong Wen, his eyes lit up, "Since you're here, let's have two drinks with me, an old man." ”

"Uncle Li has this face, so he can let the gods accompany the wine. Zhong Wen slowly came to sit down opposite Li Jiuye, took a cup from the table, picked up Li Jiuye's wine jug, and unceremoniously filled himself with a glass.

"You kid can be regarded as having a long face in the army this time, but I'm afraid that now Zhong Shenxian will say a word, more than me... More useful than me. Li Jiuye seemed to enjoy Zhong Wen's casual attitude very much, "Come, uncle salute you, thank you for the whole Daqian!"

"That's it?" Zhong Wen showed a look of surprise on his face, "Uncle Li is inevitably too picky." ”

Li Jiuye: "......"

Resisting the urge to splash the wine on Zhong Wen's face, Li Jiuye raised his head and drank it all, and said bitterly: "Don't look at our appearance this time, in fact, in order to quell the rebellion and fight, the entire family of Daqian has been burned to the ground, even if you want to reward you heavily, you are powerless. ”

"Uncle Li, raided the Xiao family's assets, pacified the various sects, and looted a lot, right?" Zhong Wen said with a wicked smile.

"There's not much oil and water, and if you remove military spending, it's negative. Li Jiuye shook his head and sighed, looking sad about losing money in gambling.

"How could it be? The Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce is one of the top three chambers of commerce in the empire. Zhong Wen said unrelentingly, "Their family's assets are not to mention a border war, even if Xiqi and Northern Xinjiang fight on two fronts, it is more than enough, right?"

"How can there be so many?" Li Jiuye's brows tightened, "The elixir of the Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce has all disappeared without explanation, and other assets have also been looted by major trading houses, and even my precious prince has come to mix it, and by the time the people from the imperial court arrive, there will be little left." ”

"We've found so many Spirit Devouring Corals and Spirit Devouring Grass in Xiting Lake, it must be worth a lot of money, right?" Zhong Wen was still unwilling to give up and continued to pursue.

"Although these materials are precious, they can only be used to make weapons and soft armor, and they cannot be sold. Li Jiuye strictly guarded, "Not only can I not exchange money, but I also have to pay a large amount of craftsman fees, and even I, the emperor, can't afford to eat." ”

The two of them argued for a long time like people in the underworld who had finished a vote and were holding a meeting to divide the spoils, Zhong Wen was stunned that he failed to break Li Jiuye's defense, and asked for the slightest material reward.

"Uncle Li, my little nephew is going back to southern Xinjiang. Zhong Wen's eyes rolled and he began to play the emotional card, "If you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to meet, can you bear to let me return to my hometown empty-handed?"

"Little guy, you and I are like acquaintances at first sight, always talking about those yellow and white things, which is too vulgar, and insults the feelings of our uncle and nephew. Li Jiuye sighed and said slowly.

It's not vulgar, it's not vulgar at all, I just like these vulgar things!

Besides, we have a fart uncle and nephew relationship!

Zhong Wen shouted in his heart.

"Your Uncle Li has a lot of experience in calligraphy. Li Jiuye didn't care about what he thought in his heart, and he took care of himself, "This time you have made great achievements without asking for anything in return, so it is better for me to write an inscription to express your gratitude." ”

Between the words, he had already set a noble tone of "not asking for anything in return" for Zhong Wen.

"Uncle Li, I don't read much, so I can't see such elegant things as calligraphy and painting. Zhong Wen stroked his forehead with his hand, and was completely defeated by the emperor in front of him, "For the sake of the little nephew's 'not asking for anything in return', can you take care of the two of you for me?"

He deliberately bit the four words "without asking for anything in return" very hard.

"Aren't you talking about the two girls in Liangshan?" Li Jiuye answered casually, "Don't worry, not to mention that they have made great contributions at the border, for your sake, I won't care about Song Hai's affairs anymore." ”

Zhong Wen: "......"

He suddenly had a feeling that Li Jiuye seemed to be waiting for him to speak, and the previous many foreshadowings were completely playing monkey shows by himself, which made no sense.

"It's not that I said you, as far as you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, sooner or later, one day, you will die in the hands of women......"

When dealing with the Xiao family, why don't you see you being so wise?

Looking at the sly smile on Li Jiuye's face, Zhong Wen couldn't help but scold the old fox for being treacherous in his heart.

"Bang!"

When he opened the door, he was greeted by Zhang Erhe's honest face, Zi Yuan closed the door again, stomped on his jade feet, and was angry.

At the same time, a panicked mood gradually grew in her heart.

After being imprisoned in the courtyard for more than a week, neither the master Sword Interception Venerable nor the head Qin Haonan showed even the slightest sign of relenting.

Do you really want to marry Uncle Huang?

Thinking of the two huge sarcomas in Huang Wen's jaw, Zi Yuan only felt a burst of nausea, and the resistance from instinct made her extremely anxious and almost crazy.

For a short moment, she even envied her former best friend Sima Rou.

Although Nangong Lin is a scumbag, at least from the outside, it is quite eye-catching.

"Squeak!"

Just when the girl was sad, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A handsome face appeared in front of Zi Yuan, with a slender figure, fluttering white clothes, and a graceful and extraordinary demeanor.

"Uncle Mu!"

Recognizing the person's identity, Zi Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

This white-clothed man in the wind of Yushu was actually another genius of the Southern Heaven Sword Sect, Mu Zixuan, the master of the Heavenly Wheel who had been mentioned by her in front of the master.
