Chapter 5 The Tea House
The night passed, and when the early sun was slightly dewed, he continued to absorb the East Pole Purple Qi to refine the Yang Ming Stomach Sutra, and when the sun was completely rising, Luo Yuan patted his trouser leg and set off towards the Alchemist Association. After all, it's the first time to report for duty, so it should be early.
There are a lot fewer people on Fengcheng Street in the morning, and most of the people come to the teahouse and steamed bun restaurant here for breakfast.
"Little Er, make a pot of tea and serve two cages of three fresh buns. Luo Yuan came to a teahouse not far from the Alchemist Association, and was ready to eat some steamed buns, so he went to the Alchemist Association to report for duty.
"Okay, guest officer, sit down first, good tea and three fresh buns will arrive in a while." Xiao Er hurriedly came, picked up the rag on his right shoulder, wiped the table, and ran to serve tea and buns again.
Probably because this teahouse is located next to the Alchemist Association, business is very prosperous.
"I heard that the Alchemist Association has recently recruited what alchemy boys?"
"That's right, that's right, and the salary is very good, two spirit stones a day. I'm here today to try my luck and see if I can be favored by the people of the Alchemist Association. ”
"Try your luck, then you can pull it down! There were more people who went to the alchemist assessment yesterday, and in the end, they didn't come out in disgrace. And look at your face of the eldest brother, you are more than thirty, and people don't recruit people over the age of eighteen. ”
"Alas, I went in the assessment yesterday, and the age is in line, but the problem is that this assessment is too difficult, and it is impossible for a person who does not have two brushes to pass the assessment. ”
While Luo Yuan was eating steamed buns, it seemed very comfortable to listen to them 'talking' there.
"Look! Master Lu of the Alchemist Association is here for tea!"
"It's really Master Lu! I remember that last time, the daughter of the city lord contracted the cold poison for some reason, and the doctors and pharmacists in the entire Fengcheng were helpless, but in the end, they were cured by a fire pill from Master Lu. ”
"Yes, Master Lu has also won the gratitude and friendship of the city lord because of this, usually he would not easily leave the Alchemist Association, why did he come out for tea today?"
"Da Da Da" A sound of horse footsteps came, and I saw a woman with eyebrows like green feathers, bright eyes and bright teeth, and an extraordinary temperament walking in front of Master Lu next step in the entourage of many guards.
Luo Yuan just glanced at it from a distance and was already amazed by this woman: "What a slim, pure and lovely beauty, she already has such a style at a young age, if she grows up, it will definitely be a disaster for the country and the city!"
"She is Liu Xiangqin, the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion! What's the matter today? Two people who are hard to find appear in this teahouse. ”
"It's so beautiful!
"This woman should only be in the sky, and the peerless elegance is nothing more than that!"
The arrival of Master Lu and Liu Xiangqin caused a lot of commotion in the teahouse.
Liu Xiangqin looked excited, bowed his body, and gently pressed to give Master Lu a salute.
"The apprentice visited the master, thank you for the master's life-saving grace, and the master's great kindness and great virtue Xiangqin will be remembered in my heart. Liu Xiangqin's lips were lightly opened, and he looked at Master Lu with sincere eyes.
"Haha! Good apprentice! Good apprentice, no courtesy, no courtesy, the old man is very pleased to have such an apprentice as you!" Master Lu laughed heartily, and waved his hand again and again to signal that Liu Xiangqin did not need to be polite.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the Alchemist Association to learn the method of alchemy. After Master Lu finished speaking, he led Liu Xiangqin away.
On the second floor of the teahouse, in an inconspicuous box, a gentle and elegant man in a green shirt was watching Liu Xiangqin leave with gentle eyes.
"City Lord, why do you want to let Miss and Master Lu meet in this mixed place? Isn't this a clear way to tell those people that Miss is in the Alchemist Association?" a burly man in armor expressed his puzzlement.
"Hehe, Wei Qing, I just want them to know that my daughter has entered the Alchemist Association, let them have something to do with me, don't think about making a fuss about my daughter. City Lord Liu Tianhe said flatly.
"However, those people don't even care about the City Lord's Mansion, and they still care about the Alchemist Association?" Wei Qing still couldn't figure it out.
"Wei Qing! You underestimate the Alchemist Association too much, this association is full of masters, do you think that it is full of lowly alchemists? If this is the case, I am afraid they will not have gained a firm foothold in Fengcheng in just a few years. Moreover, those people can ignore the threat of the Yue Yun Empire, but the Alchemist Association has branches throughout the continent, and their power is far stronger than what you see. Liu Tianhe patiently explained to Wei Qing.
"Wei Qing, have you found any clues in the past few days?" Liu Tianhe took a sip of tea and asked as soon as he spoke.
"City Lord, they are too cautious. Since the last failed assassination, they haven't made any moves, as if they disappeared out of thin air," Wei Qing said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"I don't know who they are, but I know they can't go until their purpose is achieved. Continue to investigate, and be sure to find them out. After speaking, Liu Tianhe stared closely at the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, Wei Qing obeys!" Wei Qing said as he clasped his hands into fists and knelt down on one knee.
didn't know anything about the second floor, Luo Yuan hurriedly paid the bill and left after eating the buns.
Maybe it was because there were many onlookers in the Alchemist Association the day before yesterday, so no guards were arranged. When I went to the Alchemist Association today, there were actually two guards standing guard in front of the gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard stopped Luo Yuan when he saw that he was dressed ordinarily, and it was definitely not a dignitary who had come to ask for elixir.
"Brother Guard, I'm here to report, look at this. Luo Yuan took out the jade plate that Qu Bo handed him yesterday.
"Well, let's go inside. "When the guards saw that it was the exclusive jade plate of the Alchemist Association, they didn't sit down to stop it, and let it go directly.
walked into the Alchemist Association, said hello to the beautiful woman at the front desk last time, and asked her to lead the way to find Qu Bo.
Along the way, Luo Yuan was observing the rooms and arrangements of the Alchemist Guild.
The Alchemist Association is divided into two regions, east and west, and each region has a certain number of alchemists. Along the way, the alchemy room, the pill storage room, the medicinal herb room, and the pill room were all remembered by Luo Yuan.
Coming to the second floor of the Alchemist Association, Qu Bo was holding many medicinal herbs to observe, only to see that he put a small purple flower in his nose and sniffed it, it seemed that something was not right, Qu Lao shook his head and put it down, picked up the second golden flower and continued to sniff, not noticing that Luo Yuan had arrived behind him at all.
"Qu Bo should be at a critical stage when he is so selfless, I better not disturb him, let him finish his own first. Seeing that Qu Bo was so selfless, Luo Yuan also stood aside and didn't dare to disturb him.
But he didn't know that Qu Bo seemed to be selfless at this time, and he didn't notice Luo Yuan's arrival at all, in fact, with Qu Lao's strength, he had already sensed it, and he just wanted to test Luo Yuan's patience.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...
On the surface, Qu Bo was picking up the last medicinal herb on the table and smelling it, but his heart was already full of thoughts: I just wanted to test this kid's patience, but I didn't expect this kid to be so patient, and he didn't come to stop me after I smelled all the medicinal herbs. This kid is really not ordinary.
After sniffing, Qu Bo put all the medicinal materials back into the sack and asked Luo Yuan, "How long have you been here?"
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "It's been about half an hour, seeing that Uncle Qu is analyzing medicinal materials, I don't dare to disturb your old man." ”
"Well, come with me. Qu Bo said expressionlessly, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
After speaking, Qu Bo walked towards the alchemy room with the sack, and Luo Yuan did not dare to slack off and followed.
