Ji Lianchu was a little flustered.

Just when she was anxious, the system prompt finally came belatedly: [Congratulations on completing the side quest and obtaining 13 points of wealth. 】

Ji Lianchu was relieved when he heard this.

The originally tense heartstrings were completely relaxed.

Ji Lianchu let out a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, this side quest was completed and the wealth value increased. Is it possible that reaching the full level will mean that the story line will end the game?

But at the moment, she didn't know how many tasks she had set. After all, this is only part of the mission, and the rest of the task must be completed.

Ji Lianchu thought of this, and immediately fell into a state of sorrow again.

How will she complete the rest of the tasks?

If you complete all the tasks, does it mean that you will reach the peak of your wealth and leave the game world and return to reality?

Ji Lianchu frowned and scratched his hair in distress.

Ji Lianchu searched his mind for information and descriptions of the tasks he set up when writing the game blueprint.

Suddenly, Ji Lianchu's eyes lit up.

She thought of a way!

Ji Lianchu's gaze became firm.

This method allows them to avoid being forced back to reality by the system, and can even help them complete side quests.

But......

Can she do it?

Ji Lianchu's fingers tapped on the table.

If you don't give it a try, you'll never know what the outcome will be.

Like now, she has no way back.

Ji Lianchu closed his eyes and adjusted his state.

The next moment, Ji Lianchu opened his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the churning thoughts in his heart.

Opening his eyes again, Ji Lianchu's eyes became cold and resolute.

Now that you've chosen to take this path, don't regret it!

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, "Miss, His Royal Highness the King of Leisure invites you over." ”

Ji Lianchu nodded, restrained the look on his face, and sorted out his clothes in front of the mirror in the room, and then opened the door.

"What about the results of the investigation?"

Helian Xu sat on a chair, dressed in a gorgeous purple python robe, which set off his noble and elegant temperament, and his slightly frowning sword eyebrows showed the irritability and displeasure of the master at the moment.

Helian Xu lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "It seems that someone took the first step and knew the truth about the disappearance of the inn by chance." And use what he learned from Wang Xi's mouth to design a harmless bureau, please enter the urn. Unfortunately, this king is the one who entered the urn. ”

Ji Lianchu: "So that scholar really has the ability to strategize thousands of miles away?" I was in prison, but my heart was thinking about the outside. ”

Helian Xu nodded in agreement, "The scholar's name is Su Yi, and he does have some ability." It's just that this king still wonders how he learned the identity of this king. Until I learned something interesting. ”

Helian Xu made a fool of himself and let Ji Lianchu guess it.

"I remember the last time I came to the Floating Cloud Inn, there seemed to be movement outside, could it be that someone found it at that time?" Ji Lianchu thought a little and said uncertainly.

Helianxu: "I guessed half right, the fact is that the sweeping uncle who eavesdropped on the conversation that day was imprisoned for stealing that night, and he happened to be locked up next door to Su Yi. Originally, there was nothing to do, but the man talked in his sleep at night and leaked his mouth. So Su Yi thought about it and contacted the shopkeeper Erwang who visited the prison to perform this play, and the original shopkeeper Erwang showed that he went to Beijing with him to take the exam, and the two had a great relationship, which is really a coincidence. ”

Ji Lianchu suddenly realized, but he still had a little doubt in his heart.

"And what's going on with the disappearance of the Floating Cloud Inn?"

Helianxu gritted his teeth and slapped the table indignantly, "It's not a hidden stake set up by an old woman, the missing people will either be used as coolies or be captured and trained as killers." At the beginning, the owner of the Fuyun Inn may have seen the queen mother in disguise. ”

Speaking of this, Helian Xu's face was full of anger, remembering that on the day he first came to the capital, that old witch dared to threaten him, was he really stupid and had no temper?

Of course, it is also because the other party is the queen, and the queen's power cannot be underestimated. Helian Xu endured until now, and even pretended to be defenseless, doing nothing all day long, chanting flowers and playing with the moon.

But this in no way means that the other party can bully him recklessly.

"And what about this time? Has the queen's actions been made public? Ji Lianchu asked in a deep voice, vaguely feeling that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, Helian Xu's tone paused, and his expression was a little unwilling and annoyed, "That woman had already premeditated, and she had already launched a scapegoat and dumped the blame on the owner of the Fuyun Inn. ”

Ji Lianchu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he looked at Helian Xu and said, "How did the owner of the Fuyun Inn die?" ”

Helian Xu frowned, shook his head and sighed, "That day, the queen sent someone to arrest the owner of the Fuyun Inn and Wang Xi, but it turned out that it was empty, and only a corpse remained. So the shopkeeper of the season...... Watch out for that king! ”

Ji Lianchu listened to his words, and his heart chuckled.

"Do you suspect that Wang Xi is the murderer of the shopkeeper? How can it be? ”

Helianxu nodded, "This is very likely. The body of the owner of the Floating Cloud Inn has been found, it is a shriveled and thin male corpse with a hideous face and a black robe. Moreover, this king also found someone to check, Wang Xi never had a bad relationship with other guests during the time when he was on an errand at the Fuyun Inn, but had a close relationship with the owner of the Fuyun Inn. So this matter is absolutely inseparable from him. ”

"The one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, you never know what kind of role others play in front of you."

"Where is the king?" Ji Lianchu asked.

Helian Xu sneered, "Of course he's still alive!" Saved by you. ”

Ji Lianchu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Helian Xu meant.

"What do you mean? Is it a suspicion of the people's daughter? Ji Lianchu frowned, and said a little angrily, "The folk girl was kind enough to pull him back from the ghost gate." ”

Helian Xu waved his hand and snorted disapprovingly, "I didn't doubt you, and I also believe that you will save him." It's just that he's a scourge. If you save him, I'm afraid you'll be killed. So in this matter, please don't interfere with the shopkeeper Ji for the time being. ”

"Next time, I'm afraid even if this king comes forward, he won't be able to protect you. And you shouldn't be nosy, do you know that saving Wang Xi is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. ”

“……”

Ji Lianchu was silent and didn't want to say anything.

Helianxu's suspicion made her even more sure that the plot was returning to its original track.

Her message bar mission shows that she saved Wang Xi, but not necessarily Helianxu's side. As for the conversations that have been heart-to-heart, even revealing their identities as non-game NPCs may be cautious investigations.

"It's not too early today, this king takes his leave." Helian Xu was about to say goodbye, but he didn't expect Ji Lianchu's attitude to seem to have changed.

"My small shop can't accommodate the big Buddha of the prince, so I can't send it if I walk slowly." Dropping a sentence, Ji Lianchu grabbed the door and walked out. On the surface, the wind is light, and nothing happens. But in fact, I was still very sad in my heart, I thought that when I met the same kind in a foreign land, I would always think of a way to get out of here, but in fact, that person was too wary and no one believed it.

even complained that he saved people who shouldn't have been saved.

But she would rather use her glasses to deal with people, and she didn't want to hear people pointing fingers at her. What kind of people Wang Xi got along with him, he naturally knows.

On the contrary, it is Helianxu, who is a little mysterious and unpredictable.

It's been long enough to pretend to be an NPC in the ancient game, and when he finally met a fellow of the same kind, he accused him of being nosy and shouldn't save people.

Not to mention the task, even passers-by should not sit idly by.

The best way to deal with disappointment is to stop expecting.

Ji Lianchu looked out the window, and before he knew it, it was dusk.

looked at the first draft of the short play in my hand, and breathed a sigh of relief. Think that the competition with Liu Dacai is still going on, and her killer skit is still under consideration.

Hot spots and cool points must be taken into account at the same time, which happens to be similar to the fact that he was slandered and plagiarized by Liu Dacai.

For example, the dilemma faced by himself and the protagonist of the upright scholar.

At the beginning of the story, the chivalrous girl was chased and killed by the enemy, the scholar sacrificed her life to protect each other and formed a friendship, the scholar's results in the imperial examination were replaced by the powerful, and the chivalrous girl Ning Caiwei crossed the level to sue the civil prosecutor to bear the cane punishment, and she did not give up, and would rather be punished with the cane than cry out for him.

This is a true affection, the darkness was originally given to the moth to throw themselves into the fire, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment. Only by persevering will one day keep the clouds open and see the moon. But some people choose to take shortcuts, even if they give everything, and some people choose to stick to their original intentions.

Dressed in the cloak of true love in the world to make a name for herself, this little skit is Ji Lianchu's counterattack, she will not be at the mercy of others!

Liu Dacai uses her way to publicize and earn customers, so she will make a move.

Pay to watch the drama and get a free lunch.

If you invite 10 people to see it, then the inviter is free.

If this wave of publicity is in place, I believe there will be an unexpected surprise reversal.

Ji Lianchu is full of enthusiasm and is ready to recruit actors the next day.

As for the choice of the male host, Ji Lianchu has ideas.

The person who plays the male protagonist of the scholar is none other than Wang Xi! still remembers that the vivid performance last time deceived everyone present, and even Ji Lianchu himself almost believed that he had really met a ghost.

Wang showed talent, and because of the incident at the Floating Cloud Inn, he lost his job.

Now is your chance!

didn't have to think about it, Ji Lianchu found Wang Xi and mentioned it to him on the same day.

Wang Xi dressed up, not to mention, really had a bookish atmosphere, and when he appeared with a folding fan in his hand, he looked like a modern version of Xiao Xianrou playing a costume drama.

"Childe, what do you think of my dress?" Wang Xi was a little unconfident, this was the first time he had worn such good-looking and clean clothes, for fear of getting dirty.

Seeing this, Ji Lianchu said, "Straighten your chest and don't show your timidity, have you read the lines I sent you yesterday?" Can you try the play now? ”

"Ah, this ......," Wang Xi hesitated.

"Didn't you play a good job last time? The prince and I were kept in the dark. ”

"Oh, don't make fun of me, even Gongzi, that's not forced by the situation!"

Ji Lianchu thought thoughtfully, "Ahem, just call me Ji Shopkeeper, Lian Gongzi is the name of going out to do things." Nothing...... By the way, are you ready? ”

It has been prepared for a long time, but Wang Xi is still the first time that a young man has been on stage! I can't help but be a little nervous.

Wang Xi could only bite the bullet and start acting.

He was dressed in white, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, his face was delicate and handsome, with a little shyness and uneasiness between his eyebrows, his eyes were full of affection, and his fingers trembled slightly.

"Thank you for your help, dare to ask the girl's name?" He called the girl softly, and after speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to raise it again, his cheeks slightly red.

Wang Xi's acting skills are very good, just like a young man who is just starting to fall in love, and treats the admiration of the woman he likes.

The nervous and shy expression of the acquaintance between the chivalrous girl and the weak scholar was performed, and for a while, the whole room was full of ambiguity.

He thought that Ji Lianchu was going to shout to stop, but she didn't make a sound, but kept standing quietly and looking at him.

He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, could it be that he didn't act well?
