Chapter 259: Soy milk with fritters

Lu An was sitting on the ground stunned, slowly recovering his strength.

However, at this moment, several strange thunderous sounds were heard in the distance, extremely dense.

Li Guan, who came over with a pot of tea, also looked in that direction at this time.

"My lord, do you think it's a little weird?" asked Lu An weakly.

Li Guan nodded, put down the teapot in his hand, and jumped directly to the highest place of the City Lord's Mansion and looked around.

Seeing this, Lu An struggled to get up, and did the same action, and immediately jumped to Li Guan's side, and then froze after a glance.

On the outskirts of the city, there is a pitch-black thundercloud that is constantly thundering towards the same place, and in a few seconds, dozens of thunderbolts have slashed down, but unfortunately I can't see the details of that place.

"What's the situation?" Lu An asked in surprise.

Li Guan shook his head, guessed and said, "Eighty percent is two masters fighting, right?"

Lu An also agreed with this statement and nodded.

Then at this time, he saw a sword shadow rising into the sky, directly piercing the clouds, this scene was extremely dazzling, and it directly shocked Lu An.

"It's... This... This... Who the hell is it?" Lu An stammered.

Li Guan was also shocked, shook his head, and couldn't say a word.

Then the sword shadow slashed down directly, and an earth-shattering sound came out directly, and then an extremely bright light suddenly dispersed.

Lu An only felt as if he had been shocked by something, and his eyes lit up in an instant, and the whole person fell into an ethereal state, as if he had even stopped breathing.

I don't know how long this state lasted, and Lu An stared blankly into the distance.

Then he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Li Guan, who was still sluggish, and finally looked in that direction again.

At this time, the outskirts of the city in the distance had become ruins, and the whole was destroyed alive, and there was nothing left, but fortunately, that place was far enough away from the National Wind City and did not have any impact on the National Wind City.

But the scene in front of him still made Lu An's face sluggish, his mouth half open, revealing an extremely shocked expression.

At this time, Lu An also thought that the scene just now must be two extremely strong grandmasters fighting, and only grandmasters can do this kind of devastating behavior.

Just when Lu An was still surprised, several figures in Guofeng City immediately rose directly into the air and flew in that direction.

Looking at those people, Lu An's heart was itching, and he also wanted to go with them, but because of his own strength now, he could only give up, and sighed unwillingly, such a rare grandmaster battle was missed.

Lu An looked at Li Guan beside him and found that he had woken up, and he also had an eager expression on his face.

"Want to take a look?" Lu An asked.

Li Guan smiled and nodded, but then shook his head again.

"If you want to go, you can go. After saying this, Lu An jumped down from the roof.

Li Guan also followed Lu An to the bottom, and said with a smile: "They are all over, are they still going to do it now?"

"So fast?" Lu An said in surprise.

Li Guan nodded, "This is not a real contest, two such strong grandmasters are fighting, the victory or defeat cannot be decided so quickly, and it will not be fought in this way, so at most, it can only be regarded as a test of the water by both sides." ”

Lu An nodded as if he didn't understand, Li Guan's words seemed to make some sense, and he didn't hear any other movement after so long, it seemed that it was already the kind of situation that Li Guan said.

"I really want to know who these two are, and who won?" Lu An said with some anticipation.

Li Guan thought for a moment and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, one of them should be the Sword Saint senior who came today, that hundred-meter-tall sword shadow, I don't think anyone else but him can use it, right?"

Lu An thought for a while and nodded, "What about the other person?"

"Except for the City Lord, I can't think of anyone in Guofeng City who can resist the sword of the Sword Saint's predecessor, and from the thunder in front of me, I should be able to guess that it should be the City Lord. Li Guan analyzed.

Lu An nodded again, "The city lord is really strong, but I'm curious, who of these two won?"

Li Guan smiled slightly, "You can ask him this question in person when the time comes." ”

Lu Anu pouted, but did not respond.

Li Guan pulled Lu An into the small room next door, and the pot of tea was brought in again.

Lu An poured himself a cup of tea and drank it directly.

Li Guan refilled Lu An with another cup, and then spoke, "Earlier today, Jing Dashao came to visit, but Gongzi was still healing at that time, so he didn't let him come to see Gongzi. ”

Lu An asked suspiciously, "Jing Ming, is he here to find me?"

Li Guan shook his head, "No, he has something to find the city lord." ”

Lu An nodded, didn't take Li Guan's words seriously at all, took another sip of tea, and then stopped there.

Li Guan just looked at Lu An quietly, and he had no intention of leaving.

After Lu An drank two cups of tea, he also felt Li Guan's strangeness, thinking of the strange words he said earlier, Lu An asked tentatively: "My lord, do you have something to say to me?"

Li Guan nodded, "There are some things that are hard to say, I was still thinking about what to say just now." ”

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Lu An said sincerely.

Li Guan nodded apologetically, "Since Childe said so, then I will say it, what does Childe think of Jing Ming?"

Lu An thought for a while, and then replied, "It's okay, but I don't know what the adults are asking about him?"

"Do things in the world. Li Guan replied.

Lu An poured himself another cup of tea, frowned slightly, and thought about it, and said pertinently: "There may be a slight lack in doing things, I heard him complain there that day, and I was a little dissatisfied with the status quo, of course, this has something to do with his wife's imminent birth." ”

Li Guan nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Childe, what the city lord means now is this, he plans to let Jing Dashao rest at home for a while and accompany his wife well." ”

"What do you mean?" Lu An said with a direct frown.

"That's what I mean. Li Guan repeated.

Lu An asked with a little puzzlement, "Does the adult mean that he will not participate in anything?"

Li Guan nodded, "That's pretty much what it means." ”

Lu An nodded thoughtfully again, and snorted, "I don't have an opinion on this, anyway, the city lord should have his considerations, this is also for Jing Ming, right?"

Li Guan continued: "It is a special period, and the city lord is indeed for the good of Jing Da Shao, so as not to handle this matter well and let him get into trouble. ”

Lu An snorted and nodded, "It's still the city lord's thoughtfulness, but what should the gang of people managed by Jing Ming before?"

"This group of people is really a big trouble, Jing Dashao can't surrender, there's no way, there is a good show today, those people rushed directly to the barracks of the city defense army, set up a ring, want to compete with the soldiers inside, today Jing Dashao came to the city lord because of this problem, the city lord was soft-hearted and did not blame them, and even gave them a lottery. Li Guan said with a grin.

Lu An also laughed, "I didn't expect the city lord to have such a casual and elegant look." ”

"There is one more thing I want to inform Childe, the two people who have been following you before have not been dealt with, I thought they were two ordinary monks, but I didn't expect them to be two masters close to the Five Realms, does Childe have an impression?"

"Five realms, or two?" Lu An's brows furrowed instantly, and he immediately searched in his mind, but he had no impression at all, if it was an enemy, it should be an enemy who made friends in that small holy domain, but in a small place like Qi Country, he didn't think those people would appear there.

In the end, Lu An still shook his head.

Li Guan nodded a little disappointed, "Childe is not impressed, that's fine, we'll see you tomorrow, the city lord has already handed over these two people to General Fan to deal with, if nothing happens, I can help Gongzi get rid of these two people tomorrow." ”

Lu An nodded, "Thank you, a few adults." ”

Li Guan shook his head, "Childe said that he laughed, these are just internal matters, but now there is a reluctant request, I don't know if Childe is willing?"

Lu An asked curiously, "My lord, please speak." ”

"After Jing Ming stays at home, no one cares about Yu Linwei's gang, General Fan and I have been doing a lot of things recently, and I can't spare time, so I want to ask Gongzi to take care of one or two, as long as they don't make trouble, there are no other requirements, just one or two days, and when I find a suitable person, I will take them over." Li Guan said apologetically.

Lu An pointed at himself and asked, "Let me take care of them?"

Li Guan nodded.

Lu An said a little worriedly: "It's just that my current identity will be a bit risky?"

"Don't worry, Childe, this is not a matter of showing up, Childe can use another name, I don't think there are many people who have seen Childe's face, right? Li Guan explained.

Regarding Li Guan's suggestion, Lu Anzhong suddenly felt a trace of doubt, "You don't plan to use me as bait, do you?"

Li Guan smiled as usual, "Childe said that he laughed, this is not something that Gongzi is forced to do, and the information about Childe has already been leaked out, this bait is no longer meaningful, anyone who enters Guofeng City will definitely not be able to escape General Fan's eyes, besides, it is impossible to let Childe do this kind of hard work if you really let Childe be a bait." ”

Hearing Li Guan say this, Lu An thought about it and seemed to be the same truth, as if there was indeed no such necessity, after thinking about it, Lu An nodded and agreed to Li Guan's request.

Li Guan said gratefully: "Thank you Childe, I will personally take Childe to meet those people tomorrow, please get up early." ”

Lu An nodded suspiciously, "The new official has three fires?"

Then the two laughed knowingly.

......

The next day, it was not yet dawn.

Li Guan came over early and knocked on Lu An's door.

After a night's rest, Lu An's spirit was also extraordinarily energetic, sweeping away the malaise of last night.

The two of them walked on the street in the light of the sky, and saw that the small vendors on the street had set up a lot, and the heat slowly came out of each stall.

Along the way, many people respectfully greeted Li Guan, and this scene also surprised Lu An.

Li Guan looked at this steaming street, with an extremely soft expression on his face, and then glanced at Lu An, who was surprised beside him, and said: "The sun sets, and the sun does it before it rises, in the eyes of the child, is the life of these ordinary people very boring?"

Lu An shook his head with a smile, stretched his waist, opened his mouth and took a big breath, his face showed an expression of extreme enjoyment, this aromatic breath directly made Lu An hungry, the bowls of oily noodles with the scent of scallion oil, and the steaming white flour steamed buns with the fragrance of rice all stimulated Lu An's taste.

Lu An swallowed his saliva and replied affirmatively: "Actually, this is the life I yearn for the most." ”

Li Guan was quite surprised by this, and looked at Lu An puzzled, "Why?"

Lu An walked slowly to a breakfast stall, took out a few copper coins, bought four steamed buns, handed two to Li Guan, and said while eating: "Eat three meals, there are wine, vegetables and steamed buns, it is enough." ”

Li Guan couldn't help but stop, looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and showed a rare sincere smile.

Li Guan slowly chased after him, and said lightly: "The northern territory is very large, there are many monks, and there are many powerful monks, but there are more ordinary people like them, whenever I see them working hard for survival, I will think of a question, if there is no strife in this world, will this simple life continue forever?"

After hearing this, Lu An also stopped and nodded seriously, "If it's really as the adults said, then this world is inevitably too good, right?"

Hearing Lu An's words, Li Guan couldn't help laughing and nodded, "I also think it should be like this." ”

"It's a pity that this is impossible, now this peaceful scene is based on force, if Dahan is an ordinary small country, Guofeng City is an extremely weak small city, most of them will not appear every day, right?" Li Guan suddenly changed his words.

Lu An nodded without thinking, "What the adults said is that it is indeed the same truth, the city is weak and the country is small, and what you need to consider every day is whether you can survive today, rather than thinking about what you should eat this morning, for this, in fact, I am very touched." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu An immediately showed a wry smile.

Li Guan sighed inexplicably, "It seems that Gongzi once had an extremely good memory, and I don't know how long this scene can be watched?" ”

Lu An felt that Li Guan seemed to be a little too emotional today, as if he was deeply immersed in the scene in front of him, and completely revealed a state of fascination, for Li Guan's appearance, Lu An couldn't help but look at it twice.

Li Guan still had this expression, leading Lu An to walk forward slowly, meeting more and more people along the way, and greeting Li Guan more and more.

This made Lu An feel more and more surprised, and couldn't help asking, "The adults seem to be familiar with these people?"

Li Guan nodded, "It's okay, I see you once a day, and if you see more, you will naturally become familiar with it." ”

"Adults walk around here every morning?" Lu An said in surprise.

Li Guan smiled and nodded, "Almost, when I can't sleep, I often come over and walk around twice to see if there are any new shops, the city lord values breakfast in the three meals the most, so I am basically responsible, but unfortunately I can't do it, so I come here every day to walk around, and then buy a little back, I also bought what you ate from here two mornings ago." ”

Listening to Li Guan's introduction of the stalls on this street like a few treasures, Lu An was very interested and listened very seriously, this kind of homely way Lu An liked it very much, coupled with the scene of steaming and shouting lightly in front of him, Lu An felt that he had a sense of belonging here.

Li Guan found that Lu An was listening very carefully, and then he also said more and more carefully, from the characteristics of something, to the way it was made, and finally the experience of the stall owner, all of them came out one by one.

The corners of Lu An's mouth kept showing a smile, and Li Guan's words made Lu An feel that he was the real boss of this stall.

Li Guan can say several points about everything, such as the white flour steamed bun in Li Guan's hand, he said that the head is the Tao, from how to choose flour, to how to put water, and noodles, proofing, and finally steaming time, Li Guan said very carefully.

The more Lu An listened, the more frightened he became, and the shock in his heart became bigger and bigger, he couldn't have imagined that the deputy of the dignified country Fengcheng was so interested in food, which was really a bit inconsistent with his identity.

Li Guan didn't notice the change in Lu An's eyes, and as he spoke, he pulled Lu An to sit down and asked for two bowls of soy milk.

"As long as I pass by, I must close a bowl of soy milk here, and you can taste it too. Li Guan excitedly shared his own little luck with Lu An.

Lu An snorted and drank the steamed buns.

However, Li Guan bought two fritters from next door and handed them to Lu An, "Soy milk fritters, eating like this really tastes, some things are not put together, you can't feel his characteristics, but if you put them together, you will feel amazing." ”

Lu An felt a little confused, and didn't understand what Li Guan meant, but he still put the fritters and soy milk together as he said.

The smooth bean aroma of cotton and the soaking and fluffy fritters blended together, and Lu An's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This tastes completely different from what I've tasted before, why is that?" Lu An was full of praise for this.

Li Guan smiled and nodded, "The mood is different, and the taste is naturally different, presumably the son must have been very uneasy when he ate it, right?"

Lu An looked at Li Guan blankly.

"The quality of the taste is actually related to the person's mood, when he is happy, he feels good about what he eats, and when he is confused, he may feel average about what he eats!" Li Guan explained lightly.

"Soy milk fritters are two very ordinary things, but when these two things are put together, the taste may be different, and people are actually the same, just like me, they may be nothing without the city lord. Li Guan suddenly sighed.

For today's Li Guan, Lu An was extremely puzzled, and what he said was also in the clouds, and he always felt that he was alluding to something, but what he said was too vague, and Lu Anran couldn't understand it.

"My lord, do you have something on your mind today, and what you said seems to be a little difficult to understand?" Lu An asked for the sake of safety.

Li Guan shook his head and motioned for Lu An to continue eating.
