Chapter 489: Qiao Yong, the Idle Gift
"Let's go, Immortal Chief, it's just ahead!"
"Uh-huh. ”
Every time he arrived at a junction, Qiao Yong, who was leading the way, would always stop and point in a direction, afraid that Ji Yuan and the old beggar would not know the Tao, even if they knew that the two were immortals, but this etiquette could not be left behind.
Although Qiao Yong is not a young man anymore, his body is obviously very strong, and he walks like a fly with a burden, taking Ji Yuan and the old beggar through the streets and alleys.
The old beggar looked at Qiao Yong, who was leading the way in front, and talked in a low voice while walking with Ji Yuan in the back.
"Mr. Ji, didn't you say that you are a big official, you can take the old beggar to me for a good meal, we haven't eaten water and rice in the past two days, and the oil and water in our stomachs are gone, and now in this situation, is there still a good meal?"
Ji Yuan smiled helplessly.
"If Mr. Lu is not satisfied by then, how about Ji pay for it himself, and go to the restaurant to buy a table of good wine and good food to entertain you?"
"Okay, you said it yourself, Mr. Ji, you can't go back, hehe. ”
"You, you......"
Ji Yuan's smile is not far-fetched at all, he is more than enough than the upper and lower, not even a thousand dollars, but not bad for a meal, after all, the little dog head gold that Hu Yun found at the beginning has hardly been touched.
Having said this, the old beggar still looked at Qiao Yong again.
"However, since Mr. Ji asked him to pass the word back, even if he didn't leave any powerful tokens, just those few words are worth scrutinizing, so that this Qiao Yong won't go to the street to buy vegetables, right?"
"This is also true, but I look at Qiao Yong's ruddy complexion and lack of breath, although the official spirit is shallow, it is not completely dissipated, and it can't be said to be miserable, let's take a look. ”
When the two were talking, they turned an alley in front of them, and they came to a street, and there was a mansion that looked quite grand opposite, and Qiao Yong pointed to that side.
"Two immortal elders, that's my house, come and sit with me when I go home!"
As he spoke, Qiao Yong's pace quickened a lot.
The old beggar looked into the distance and knew that Ji Yuan's eyes were actually not very convenient, although the words on the plaque were big, they needed to get closer to see it, so he said very intimately.
"Mr. Ji, it says 'Qiao's Mansion' on it. ”
Ji Yuan laughed.
"Even if I can't see clearly, I can guess!"
Qiao's Mansion now maintains a door, and there is no scenery of the past, not to mention the family at the door, even the fallen leaves in front of the door have not been swept away.
Qiao Yong walked quickly to the door with his burden and slapped the copper ring on the door.
"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"
"Ade, Ade, open the door, I'm back!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and a moment later a side door was opened from the inside, and behind it was an old man with gray hair.
"Sir, here, why are you at the main gate?
Qiao Yong slapped his forehead and said quickly.
"Oh Ade, open the main gate, open the main gate, you want to welcome distinguished guests!
"Oh, oh, oh, open the front door, open the front door, open the front door......"
The house is now a subordinate of Qiao De, who has followed the Qiao family for decades, even if the Qiao family has long since declined, he is still loyal to the Qiao family.
Ji Yuan and the old beggar didn't stop the Qiao family from doing this, although it took a lot of effort, but Qiao Yong took this kind of etiquette very seriously, so he went.
"Squeak......
The main door, which had not been opened for a long time, slowly opened, and Qiao Yong brought the other Qiao family members who rushed to hear the news to welcome Ji Yuan and the old beggar in.
Not only that, Qiao Yong also instructed his wife and children to prepare a sumptuous dinner, emphasizing that it must be hearty a few times, before taking Ji Yuan and the old beggar to the living room.
This mansion was originally Qiao's mansion, although it is still not ranked in the capital, but it cannot be regarded as a small mansion and a small courtyard, and now there are not many people in Qiao's mansion, and many houses are idle, after all, they can't be cleaned.
The Qiao family was naturally very curious about Ji Yuan and the arrival of the old beggar, and when they were working in the kitchen, the children at home were still talking.
"Is that an immortal? Why is there a beggar?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's just appearance!"
"It seems that they are not the same as those immortal masters in the Heavenly Master's place, don't they all say that the immortal masters in the Heavenly Master's place are also immortals?"
"Of course there will be differences between immortals and immortals, and I am not the same as you. ”
"Don't be poor, light the fire, cook the rice, I'll kill two chickens. ”
"Got a chicken to eat?" "Great!"
......
The atmosphere in the kitchen was cheerful, and here in the living room, after pouring tea for Ji Yuan and the old beggar, Qiao Yong also told the two about what happened after they came back.
Although I have been wandering in the sea for many years, I really returned to the harbor of Daxiu, but it only took a year, and it is strange to say that when I came back, the journey was smooth, and I did not encounter any storms, let alone lose my way, and returned to Daxiu smoothly.
When he first heard that they were coming, in the Daxiu Palace, Emperor Long Yan Dayue, thinking that the fleet had brought back the elixir, immediately summoned Qiao Yong, and even sent the forbidden army and the imperial guards with swords to escort them.
Emperor Daxiu sent a total of three teams to seek immortal medicine, respectively sent three legendary worldly immortal mansions, and the treasure ship fleet was sent to the East China Sea, which should have been the slowest news and the smallest hope, but I didn't expect that the first to come back was the fleet.
"Hehe, the emperor must be happy?"
When the old beggar heard Qiao Yong repeat this, he couldn't help but joke that he had an apprentice who was once the emperor, and he was beheaded once. The emperor of Daxiu is quite similar to the former Yang Zong.
Hearing the old beggar ask this, Qiao Yong also smiled bitterly.
"Who said no, in fact, my fleet has not yet entered the port, and there are already people from the Sea Watching Division who have observed the return of the fleet, so when the fleet enters the port, there are already people with armor to greet them. ”
Qiao Yong said this, recalling it for a moment before continuing.
"At the beginning, I told the officials who came to greet me that we did not ask for the elixir, but only got Mr. Ji's promise, and the officials who greeted me did not dare to report directly to the capital, so they insisted on taking us and other fleet officials with them. ”
"And then?"
Ji Yuan asked, and Qiao Yong also continued to talk along with his memory.
"After arriving in the capital, I learned that we did not find the elixir, and Ji Xianchang's promise was only left in words, and the words of the immortals were believed, but my Qiao Yong's words may not be...... And there are also officials who impeach me, saying that I must have fabricated the matter of the immortal's message, just to come back from the sea, so the saint was furious and dismissed me from the official and sent me to prison, if it were not for the dissuasion of the national teacher, my Qiao Yong's head may not be able to be saved......"
"It's Ji Mou's inconsiderate consideration, Gong Qiao forgive me!"
Ji Yuan arched his hand and apologized, so frightened that Qiao Yong stood up and said "don't dare".
However, although Ji Yuan said that he was not thoughtful, but in fact, there was no token to leave at that time, which green onion did he calculate, people must not have heard of him, what can he do if he left a token, but the news of the Xianyou Conference is more convincing.
The mistake of fate lies in the fact that I thought that the Xianyou Conference must be a very secret high-end conference, and I didn't know a certain identity, but when I arrived at Ruan Shan, I realized that although there were not many people in the world who knew about the Xianyou Conference, there were also a lot, and not a person knew about the Xianyou Conference, and his words must be reliable.
"Did the national teacher ever believe you?"
Ji Yuan asked again, Qiao Yong shook his head and said honestly.
"Although the national teacher left enough leeway, but he couldn't believe me completely, he asked me a lot of things about Ji Xianchang, and also asked a lot of things about your relationship with Xianxia Island, I know a lot, so I can only try to answer, fortunately, the national teacher can pinch and calculate, calculated that I am not lying, and said that when he wants to calculate the immortal chief you, it is a blank anyway. ”
Qiao Yong smiled embarrassedly when he said this.
"At that time, I heard the national teacher say this to the saint in the Golden Palace, Qiao was very frightened, thinking that the national teacher was going to be worse when he said this, and even the saint was even more angry, but fortunately, the national teacher explained later, saying that this can only be a real master, if there is no treasure in the body, it must be that the Tao is higher than him, I don't know how much it will be like this, and I ...... it."
"Later, after being closed for half a year, there was news of another immortal team, but Master Li over there fled with a heavy baggage, and he didn't dare to return to Daxiu, and the saint was naturally angry, but some of my former court friends also took the opportunity to speak for me, saying that at least I, Qiao Yong, did not forget the emperor's grace, and knew that I must come back to report the news, and there was hard work without merit......"
Qiao Yong said happily.
"Hey, originally the Holy Lord was going to imprison me until next year, if there is no news about the immortals in my mouth, then I will be beheaded after the autumn of next year, but because of this matter, half a month later, I was released, and I have been at home until today. ”
"Actually, the Holy One treats me well, and although he dismissed me from my official position, he did not confiscate my family property, but he ...... The brothers in the fleet had a bad time, and those who were in good health were able to say that those who were already disabled at sea were miserable, because the saint was angry, and he did not receive all the benefits. ”
The old beggar nodded slightly towards Ji Yuan, and the two of them basically understood the beginning and end of the changes in the Qiao family, even if there was no verification of the calculation, Qiao Yong said that he was not telling the truth, it was clear to them at a glance.
"Gong Qiao is kind-hearted. ”
The old beggar smiled, and Qiao Yong just shook his head.
"It's not good to be kind, but I promised my brothers at the beginning, but I didn't do it, here...... It's hard to be safe!"
Qiao Yong patted his chest as he spoke.
