Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Scholar Blocks the Way
Ignoring Cui Mian's strange eyes, Lu Liang put down the curtain after making a smile that he thought was friendly, and he had to think about the plan for this business trip.
Ever since he learned about the three Lang Qi of Yaohua Palace, Lu Liang has been running around, and until now, he has not cultivated the Xuandu Refining Body Decision, and there has been no progress in the realm.
And now he doesn't dare to cultivate even more, he is surrounded by elite masters of the forbidden army, and there is a great general of the upper three realms watching in front of the carriage, he doesn't want to expose the fact that he has stepped into the cultivation path too early.
"Alas, it seems that I can't cultivate on this business trip, and I always feel a little lost."
Lu Liang couldn't help but slander Ling Taiwei in her heart, because she also drew a big cake for Lu Liang before leaving. In addition to the sword soft armor and elixir that had been given to him, as long as Lu Liang could be a good mascot and let Cui Mian and others chase back the gold and silver, he would be promoted to the position of Delang when he returned to the palace, so that he would be saved from the miserable fate of being a tool man who served the courtiers.
It's just that at that time, Lu Liang didn't know which string in his head was wrong, and he felt that Han Jiangyue and Xiao Wu'er could jump up and down in the Qianqing Palace, and it should be okay for him to bargain a little.
So, he boldly asked, can he exchange this Delang's position for the qualification to leave the palace.
But he forgot one thing, he couldn't compare with these two people. Han Jiangyue is the master who has brought Ling Taiwei up since she was a child, and the four sisters of Xiao Wuer are also the personal maids who have been accompanying Ling Taiwei to learn and practice since she was just able to speak.
And he is just a talented man who has only been favored in the past month, even if Ling Taiwei is a little tempted by him, but Han Jiangyue is still staring at it, how can he agree to this kind of request.
The result can be imagined, Ling Taiwei took care of her own government affairs with a word. Perhaps the little bit of love for Lu Liang had not been completely driven away by the master's warning, and Ling Taiwei quickly put down the fold in her hand again.
Seeing Lu Liang's face full of disappointment, Ling Taiwei sighed and told him not to think about leaving the palace, thinking that Lu Liang would work for her, and when he came back, he would reward him with a pass to the Beiyuan Royal Forest, so that he could go to the Beiyuan Imperial Forest to release the circle.
You must know that this is a privilege that only Zhao Zhenfeng and the four virtuous men have.
"Lu Cailang, there are still two hours to go to Wangji Village, do you need to come down and rest?" A neutral voice came from outside the sedan chair, waking up Lu Liang, who was looking back at the Xuandu refining body with his eyes closed.
Lu Liang opened the curtain, looked at the sun outside the window, which had begun to set westward, and said, "Okay, then let's rest first." ”
"The noble man has an order, so he will settle down in this pavilion to rest."
The voice fell, the sedan chair shook and was placed on the ground, and then a few small servants came, moved a stool and put it at the door of the car and helped Lu Liang lift the curtain.
Lu Liang was speechless for a while, this sedan chair is not high, he can step down in one step, and the small stool that is not as wide as his feet is enough to do.
"Lu Cailang, the lower official has already sent someone to prepare the melons and fruits, please here." A white-faced man walked out of the small pavilion and looked at Lu Liang and said earnestly.
This person's name is Zao Wou-ki, he is the servant of the servant bureau in the harem, he usually manages the frame livestock in the harem, his hands and feet are clever and lively, and he can be regarded as the best among the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem.
Following him into the pavilion, Lu Liang saw that there was already a person standing in the pavilion, it was Fan Shuqing with a cold face.
"General Fan, sit down, just eat together." Lu Liang pulled out the small stool and went up, took a bunch of spirit fruits that looked like grapes in his hand and handed it to Fan Shuqing.
Fan Shuqing didn't answer or speak, shook her head and continued to stand aside, and glanced around the pavilion from time to time.
Lu Liang stuffed the spirit fruit into his mouth and didn't talk to her again. turned around and called Xiaoquanzi over, pulled him to sit down, and just wanted to stuff him with some fruit to eat, he saw the panic on Xiaoquanzi's face.
Then Lu Liangcai reacted, there are others here, and he can behave casually, but Xiaoquanzi cannot. So he stretched out his hand and pulled Zao Wou-Ki over and pressed him on the stool, forcefully stuffed a spirit fruit like an apple for the two, and took the lead in gnawing it.
"Zhao Neifu, I heard that the imperial horses in Beiyuan are all raised by you?" After the two of them let go of a bit, Lu Liang pretended not to care and asked casually.
After hearing Lu Liang's question, Zhao Wuji hurriedly put down the spirit fruit in his hand, wiped his mouth with the silk handkerchief in his hand and replied: "Yu Cailang, not only the imperial horse, but also the spirit beasts such as the Flower Carving, the white-maned wolf, and the seven-tailed sky fox in Beiyuan are all raised by the lower officials. ”
"Yes, you're still a technical talent, so what if you come out with me to run errands with those spirit beasts?" Lu Liang handed one over again.
"Cailang has a good reputation, Xiaguan has been in the harem for more than ten years, and he brought out a few apprentices who were not successful, and this time he went out of the palace just to let them exercise." Zao Wou-Ki waved his hand again and again, refusing to take it anymore, and picked up the spirit fruit he had just put down to show that he hadn't finished eating it.
Lu Liang didn't force it, some things were too much, and after putting down the spirit fruit, he asked, "Then Zhao Neifu, did you raise those horses outside?" ”
Zhao Wuji stretched out his head to look at it and replied: "Not all, only the horses ridden by Cui Sicheng and her subordinates are from Beiyuan, and the others are all war horses, all of which are raised by the Spirit Beast Temple of the Outer Dynasty." ”
Lu Liang took a bite of the fruit in his hand that was full of aura, and asked in a low voice, "Zhao Neifu, let me ride a horse for the rest of the journey." ”
Zao Wou-ki's movements of eating the fruit stopped, and he looked at Lu Liang with some confusion, because he really couldn't figure out why Lu Liang didn't put the comfortable sedan chair and ran off to ride a horse.
"This.... You have to ask General Fan? ”
Of course, Lu Liang is not looking for abuse, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to master as much self-preservation ability as possible, since he can't practice and has no swordsmanship to practice, it is better to learn to ride a horse if he is idle, maybe he will use it when he is idle.
"General Fan, what do you think?"
Fan Shuqing frowned, thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but Lu Cailang, do you need to bring a face towel, don't be so casual anymore." ”
There was a black line on Lu Liang's face, he didn't want to cover his face with a small fan like a married man in this era, so he took a face towel to cover his face.
Just when Lu Liang wanted to continue to get close to Fan Shuqing, a sergeant's announcement suddenly came from outside the pavilion.
"General Yufan, there is news from the scout cavalry that there is a Guozi supervisor named Zuo Yuntang blocking the road in front and asking to see him."
