Chapter XXXVIII

At the door is the fire feather guard, covered with iron armor, the general guards in the city still have to rely on the fire feather guard to do, when the Tailin army makes a move, it is the time when the situation is irreparable.

There are only 3,000 Tailin troops stationed in the city, but there are 5,000 Huoyuwei, but fifteen miles outside the city is the camp of the Tailin army, and 120,000 Tailin troops are stationed there.

Ordinary civilians can enter the city without dangerous goods on their bodies, but the monks have to submit their name stickers at the city gate, and Chen Xi handed over the name sticker of Wangyun Gate at the gate and entered the city smoothly.

Entering the city gate, there is a prosperity inside, and the atmosphere is completely different from that of Mocheng, although Mocheng is already extremely prosperous, but in front of Qingcheng, it is too much worse.

Mocheng is mostly a gathering of merchants, and the business done in Mocheng is done with merchants, but in Qingcheng, it is willow green and red, singing and dancing.

Stepping into this city again, Chen Xi was suddenly a little overwhelmed, although Mo Feng had been here for two years, but now when he came back, he didn't know where he had changed.

But if Chen Xi takes off this dough, it will be lively, a few days ago Chen Xi shined in the blessed land of Liuxia, and he has already been turned out again by some people in the court, if Chen Xi appears, not to mention those, even the ninth princess will come out to hack Chen Xi to death.

Chen Xi smiled stupidly, and couldn't help but think of Zedong.

It's getting late, dusk is approaching, and this world is just right.

Chen Xi walked to the city with a familiar car, and the main road in Qingcheng was a statue of righteousness and light, which was extremely wide, and the three carriages walked side by side without crowding at all.

Chen Xi suddenly turned into an alley along the avenue, twists and turns, there were some food along the way, but there were not many customers, it was more leisurely, the more he went, there were more people, and from time to time there were a few middle-aged people who turned out of the alley.

And bursts of wine fragrance also wafted out, and further on, a wine shop appeared in front of Chen Xi, and Chen Xi walked into the wine shop with a familiar car.

The liquor store is not large, but there are seven or eight tables, and five or six tables are occupied, and the food on the tables is bought by the customers in the alley where they enter, and this liquor store only sells alcohol.

Chen Xi took out a few pieces of silver and shouted at Xiao'er: "Beat a pound of wine and take it away!"

Xiao Er, who was busy, greeted him with a smile and said, "Wait a minute, the wine will come immediately." ”

After a while, Xiao Er came over with a green gourd, and this gourd also said a little, as if it had been watered with wine all year round, but the wine would not go away.

Chen Xi turned out to be a gourd, nodded and walked out of the wine shop.

Continue along the alley, and after a while, a room appeared at the end, and in the courtyard was a large locust tree, which I could see when I stood outside.

The gray wooden door, inconspicuous, moth-eaten threshold, dilapidated.

But how many big people have stepped on this threshold, the scholars who have entered the court, which one does not come to visit, if the old gentleman in the courtyard says that the future is terrible, it will really be in the court.

Chen Xi tore off the skin, and then knocked lightly on the door, coughed in the courtyard, and then said, "The door is not locked, come in." ”

Chen Xi smiled, didn't go in, and knocked at the door.

There was another cough from inside, and then there was the sound of getting up, and an old voice came: "They all said that if they don't lock the door, they won't come in by themselves?"

The door creaked and opened gently, revealing the face of a white-haired old man with kind eyebrows.

When the old man saw Chen Xi, his face was incredulous, and then he ...... The door was closed again, and then the voice came: "Alas, old man, I am really old, my ears are wrong, and my eyes are flowery." ”

Chen Xi was full of smiles, who didn't know that the old man was deliberately teasing him, Chen Xi pushed open the door, looked at the old man who was waiting for Chen Xi to push open the door, and smiled with a smile: "Disciple Chen Xi, I have seen Mr." ”

The old man helped Chen Xi up, and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, even Mr. dares to tease." ”

Chen Xi said: "Hey, sir, how can I tease Mr. disciple?"

The old man looked at Chen Xi carefully, and his eyes were hazy: "You kid, you've grown up again, and when I see that you're good, I'll go in the direction." ”

Chen Xi didn't realize it, and also said with tears in his eyes: "I haven't come to see Mr. for so long, it's the disciple's mistake." ”

This old man is the famous minister Du Qi who served the first emperor of Nanqing, the gentleman of Su Ji, and the gentleman who took in Chen Xi when he was blinded!

The old man took Chen Xi's wrist and said, "Come in, don't stand outside." ”

Entering the house, the decoration is very simple, a wooden table, a wooden bench, and a good one, a chaise longue.

But in the room inside, when the wind blows the curtain of the door, ten thousand volumes of books will be revealed.

Du Qi sat down and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, if you don't take out the wine, I will already smell it." ”

Chen Xi took out the wine gourd from behind with a smile, Du Qi pulled out the lid of the gourd, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and then said with an intoxicated face: "That's the taste." ”

Du Qi was about to take a sip, but Chen Xi stopped him.

Chen Xi said: "Sir, don't drink it first, I'll go fry a few side dishes for Mr." ”

Du Qi smiled and waved his hand, "Go, go, go." Waiting for Chen Xi to walk out of the room, Du Qi still quietly took a sip, and quickly closed the lid, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Chen Xi.

Moonrise.

The lights were lit in the room, and Chen Xi and Du Qi sat at the table, but they were three vegetarian dishes, and Du Qi ate every bite with relish.

There was a big bowl in front of Du Qi, full of wine, and a small bowl in front of Chen Xi, only half of the wine.

If it was before, there was also a senior brother, a big bowl like Mr., and half of the wine, Sister Tao'er was on the side, a cup of weak tea.

Chen Xi said softly: "Sir, I have been to see Senior Brother, and Sister Tao'er, they are all very good." The senior brother asked me to say hello to Mr. on his behalf, saying that the disciple was not filial. ”

Du Qi nodded and said, "If they are good, then they are good, then they are good." ”

The disciple wants to be a gentleman, but can the gentleman not want a disciple, Chen Xi has only been by Du Qi's side for two years, Su Ji has been for eight years, and he is not as good as father and son in eight years.

After drinking, Du Qi asked with a slightly correct expression: "You have no call, you can't leave Wangyunmen at will, I haven't heard that there is a holy oracle calling you to come." ”

Chen Xi took out the dough and gently covered his face, then looked at Du Qi and said, "I ran out secretly." ”

Chen Xi absolutely trusted Du Qi, so he let Du Qi see that he was wearing a skin, but he didn't want Du Qi to worry, and he didn't want him to know that he was sent by Mo Feng.

Let Du Qi think that it is good if he is still that naughty child.

But who is Du Qi, is he really an old man? Guanhai has been up and down all his life, how can he not know some things.

Du Qi sighed: "Actually, the atmosphere in Qingcheng is not easy now, do you know that Your Majesty is sick today?"

"How long have you been sick?"

"It's been three months. ”

This Mo Feng didn't mention it to Chen Xi, and Chen Xi couldn't help frowning.

"That ......"

Du Qi said: "The pill I asked for from Dongyangmen is on the way. ”

Chen Xi was slightly frightened, from Nanqing to the west, I don't know how many thousands of miles, the monks there are already a legendary realm, and the powerful country there can set foot on a national capital like Nanqing at will, and Dongyangmen is also a behemoth there.

Nanqing has already asked for medicine twice, and it is said that His Majesty Nanqing today, although he is nine out of fifty, still has no wrinkles, not a single gray hair, and his daily spirit is not much better than that of young people.

If you take that pill again this time, I don't know how much you will have to prolong your life.

Chen Xi asked, "Is the emperor sick or ...... life?"

Du Qi sighed slightly: "This matter is a secret in the palace, who can know, but now Your Majesty has not cultivated after all, this elixir makes Your Majesty young on the surface, but in the end it is consuming the human body...... It's like borrowing the future. ”

Chen Xi muttered, "Borrow the future?"

In a world full of monks, if people can seek immortal medicine, they will still be healthy in their seventies and eighties, but it is normal, but they are not as energetic as young people, and the supreme of a country not only has to live long, but also has a young body? How can there be such a thing against the heavens in the world, only those super sects can do it.

Chen Xi said: "This matter is not a big deal, the emperor has a long life, and when the elixir arrives this time, the emperor will be healthy again." ”

Du Qi has a majesty, and Chen Xi has an emperor, but Du Qi is not the slightest dissatisfied.

Du Qi sighed slightly: "But do you know that the eldest prince Zhao Yue has white hair on his head from time to time, and he is now forty!"

Chen Xi was slightly in a trance.

Du Qi continued: "Not to mention those ministers who support the dragon, when the eldest prince was designated as the crown prince when he was a child, those ministers who supported the dragon were already in power, and now which one is not full of white hair, and now although the prince continues to cultivate new people, he ......"

Chen Xi swallowed slightly and said, "Sir, are you saying that Qingcheng will be in chaos?"

"Nowadays, many courtiers are inclined to the second prince, the second prince is too young, and the only deficiency is that the power in his hands is not enough to wrestle with the crown prince. ”

Chen Xishen nodded thoughtfully.

Du Qi continued: "If it is really chaotic, not only will Qingcheng be chaotic, I am afraid that Nanqing will be chaotic, to put it mildly, if His Majesty dies, it is best for the crown prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible...... I don't know what you're here to do, just to remind you to be careful. ”

Chen Xi stretched his waist and smiled slightly, Nanqing is a stagnant water, he really wants to go in and stir it up.

......

Duzhou, the team carrying the pills for His Majesty Nanqing continued to move forward.

The procession passed, leaving corpses all over the ground.

No one knows who they are or where they come from, and no one dares to guess.

Everyone in the team transporting the pills was full of murderous energy, their eyes were extremely fierce, and the armor on their bodies was stained with blood. They are monks, but also sergeants, the sword of Nanqing, no, more precisely, it should be the sword of Emperor Nanqing.

Along the way, each of them has an extra number of lives in their hands, but in their voice, these lives are inconspicuous.

And in the prince's mansion, another cup fell heavily on the ground and was shattered.
