Chapter VII Yu Fu
The white-robed young man was quite talkative, and told Liu Leer some interesting anecdotes in the city along the way, but the girl was a little absent-minded about this, and just dealt with a few words casually.
A few people walked through several streets and soon came to the central area of Mingyuan City.
It is a quiet place, the roads are clean, there are no shops on either side, and the large courtyards of wide houses are lined up, which is obviously the residence of the wealthy families in the city.
After walking a little further, several people came to a vermilion mansion.
Unlike other buildings in the city, the mansion occupies an extremely large area, and the vermilion gate, which is about two feet high, looks imposing, and the courtyard is covered with two stone lions about a foot high, and the gate is covered with shining copper nails, which shine in the sun.
On each side of the gate, there was a guard in bright armor, dressed the same as the previous ones, but with a spear in his hand, standing solemnly.
Everything here shows the powerful position of the owner here.
There is a huge gilt plaque hanging on the gate, on which are written two gilt characters of "Yufu".
Liu Shi glanced up at Yu Fu, but quickly withdrew his gaze.
Liu Le'er looked at the mansion in front of her in surprise, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She had never seen such a big mansion, and judging from the situation at this gate, the status of the Yu Mansion in Mingyuan City must be extremely high, and I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the Fengguo Imperial Court.
"Sister Liu, what's wrong?" the white-robed young man seemed to see something, and asked Wen Sheng.
"The Yu Mansion is really big, and there are so many guards, it's not an ordinary family, right?" Liu Le'er said with a reluctant smile.
"Sister Liu is really smart, her father is the prime minister of Fengguo, so there will be some guards in the house, otherwise how can you invite a real immortal master to stay there. Yu Qi replied disapprenously.
When Liu Leer heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
When the young man in the Confucian robe saw this, his face was full of pride.
"Seventh son, second son!" Seeing a few people coming, the two guards at the door hurriedly greeted him and bowed.
Yu Qi nodded slightly to the two of them, and walked into the door with Liu Le'er and the two.
"Seventh brother, you insist on bringing two outsiders to the mansion, be careful that your father is furious when he finds out, but don't blame me for not reminding you. After entering the Yu Mansion, the young man in the Confucian robe snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.
"Ignore him, come with me. Yu Qiyan smiled and took Liu Le'er and Liu Shi in the other direction of the mansion.
The area in the Yu Mansion is huge, with pavilions and garden corridors abounding.
The ground is also paved with white jade, green jade and other high-quality jade, smooth as a mirror, hard as iron, showing the luxury of the wealthy.
Yu Qi seemed to be very majestic in the Yu Mansion, and the servants he met along the way saluted one after another, and some even knelt directly on one knee.
Seeing this, Liu Le'er glanced at Yu Qi's back, her two bright eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
She and Liu Shi followed behind Yu Qi, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially Liu Shi's strange appearance, which was even more eye-catching, but these people seemed to be taken by Yu Qi's majesty and didn't dare to look at it more.
After a while, the three of them came to a long corridor, and a tall maid wearing a long green dress walked over.
"Young Master, you're back. When the green-dressed maid saw Yu Qi, she immediately smiled happily and trotted over.
"Xiao Wu, there are distinguished guests, don't be unruly. Yu Qi reprimanded in a deep voice.
Xiao Wu, the girl in the green dress, stuck out her tongue, but she was not afraid, completely different from the servants before.
Yu Qi glared at the green-skirted maid helplessly, and then said: "Xiao Wu, you came just in time, these two are the distinguished guests I invited, Sister Liu Le'er and Brother Liu Shi, you go to the West Wing to clean up a courtyard and give them a rest." ”
Xiao Wu only noticed the two behind Yu Qi at this moment, Liu Shi's strange appearance made her a little surprised, but after her eyes fell on Liu Le'er on the side, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Ah, what a beautiful little sister girl!"
"Sister Liu is my honored guest, you must not be rude! Yu Qi scolded, then turned around and smiled apologetically at Liu Le'er and Liu Shi.
"Got it. Xiao Wu said this, but when Yu Qi turned around and didn't pay attention, she grimaced at Le'er.
Liu Le'er was amused by it, and couldn't help but laugh, but hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, but her original nervous mood was a little relieved.
"By the way, I've been outside for the past few days, and I'm ...... in the house" Yu Qi's eyes looked around, approached Xiao Wu, and whispered.
The two leaned close together, their expressions were intimate, and Xiao Wu didn't seem to shy away from it.
Seeing this, Liu Le'er pursed her lips, and her little favor for the white-robed young man that had just emerged suddenly decreased greatly.
The two whispered a few words, Xiao Wu nodded, turned around and walked away quickly.
"Please, two. Yu Qi said and continued to move forward.
A moment later, the three of them came to a small courtyard, where Xiao Wu was greeting them.
Although it is a small courtyard, the area is not small, with a path paved with cobblestones, a green pine on the left, and a clump of green bamboo on the right.
The breeze blows, and the pine and bamboo leaves make a rustling sound, which is very quiet.
Although the furnishings in the house are simple, the tables, chairs and benches are extremely exquisite.
The tables and chairs were clean and spotless, apparently just cleaned up.
"The two of you also look a little tired, so let's rest here first, and then I'll have a separate banquet for Brother and Sister Ling. The white-robed young man turned to look at Liu Le'er and smiled.
"There's no need for hospitality. I just want to know, when can I ask that immortal master to treat my brother?" Liu Le'er looked around.
"Since you two don't like to socialize, I'll ask Xiao Wu to bring dinner later. As for the immortal master, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite him until tomorrow. Yu Qi sighed slightly and said.
"Okay. Liu Leer was a little disappointed.
"By the way, if the two of you need anything else, just ask Xiao Wu. Those two have a good rest, and I'll take my leave. Yu Qi said and glanced at Liu Shi again.
Liu Le'er nodded, looking a little absent-minded.
......
"Young master, who are they? Look at their dress, they are just ordinary people, why should they be so polite to them. Outside the small courtyard, Xiao Wu asked with some curiosity.
"What do you little Nizi know? Today, my second brother and I were frightened in the carriage, and it was Liu Shi who subdued the Qingfeng horse with one hand and stopped the carriage. Yu Qi lightly pinched Xiao Wu's white chin and chuckled.
"Qingfeng Horse! one-handed! That willow stone...... What a lot of strength!" Xiao Wu was shocked when she heard this.
"I know, this kind of alien with divine powers, if I can accept it, it will be very useful to me in the future. Besides, no matter how old Le'er is, she is definitely a great beauty who has captivated the country and the city, how can I be willing to let her live outside and suffer hardships, so naturally she will be included in the house together. You ordered them to go down, to treat them well, and not to slack off?" the white-robed young man walked out with a smile on his face, and commanded as he went.
"Yes. Xiao Wu didn't know what she thought, and hurriedly agreed with a blushing face.
......
Small courtyard, inside the house.
Liu Leer walked for a day today, and had just experienced another turmoil, and was a little tired, so she pulled Liu Shi into the bedroom to rest for a while.
Although there is a difference between men and women, but over the years, the two have been eating and living together in the wilderness, and Liu Leer didn't feel anything wrong.
When it was dark, Xiao Wu brought a sumptuous dinner.
Looking at the table full of fragrant meals, Liu Leer couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She had never eaten such a sumptuous meal, although she was in the prime minister's mansion, and the unfamiliar environment made her a little uneasy, but she still couldn't help but eat it.
On the contrary, Liu Shi did not react to these delicacies.
As the night darkens, a full moon slowly rises from the sky.
Liu Leer lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, but she didn't fall asleep, her mind was full of things about seeing a doctor tomorrow.
"Brother Shi, do you think that immortal master can cure you?" Liu Le'er moved her body to the side of the bed a few points and said softly.
Liu Shi did not lie down, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed.
Over the years, he did this every night and never lay down to sleep.
Liu Shi's face was expressionless, and he didn't open his eyes, as if he hadn't heard the girl's words.
"Brother Shi, don't worry, if the immortal master here can't cure you, we'll go somewhere else, there will definitely be someone who can cure you. Liu Leer was accustomed to it, and after whispering a few more words, she showed a reassuring smile, slowly closed her eyes, and entered her dream.
Liu Shi was motionless, like a statue in the dark.
I don't know how long it took, the tall young man suddenly opened his eyes, glanced in a certain direction of Yufu, and subconsciously raised his hand and stroked a dark green ornament under his neck.
......
At the same time, in the direction of the tall young man's gaze, in the underground secret room of a certain Yu Mansion.
The four walls of the chamber were carved with dark red runes, converging from all over the walls to the center.
In the center of the chamber was a black furnace, and at the bottom of the furnace was a fire pool, burning with a raging flame.
The Dan furnace emitted a black light at this moment, and the top lid trembled slightly, as if it would fly up at any moment.
An old man stood beside the Dan furnace and looked at the Dan furnace nervously.
This person wears a lotus crown on his head, a gray and white robe, deep eye sockets, thin cheeks, a wisp of goat's long beard hanging under his chin, and his hair is snow-white.
At this moment, a popping sound came from the Dan furnace, and then a scorched smell came out.
Lao Dao's face changed greatly, he waved his hand to play a trick, extinguished the fire, and then with a move of his hand, the lid of the Dan furnace flew up.
Ignoring the boiling heat of the Dan furnace, he reached directly into his hand, his face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he took out a handful of black powder.
A strong medicinal aroma, mixed with a burnt smell, emanated from the powder.
When the old man saw this, his face turned pale, and he jumped to his feet and scolded angrily.
