Chapter 20: The Man in White
The city center of Fengxiang City is also the economic center, in a box on the third floor of the Songhe Tower.
Li Ze devoured the stir-fried vegetables on the table, feeling that he was so happy, how could there be such delicious things in this world?
Turning his head to look at the two little girls beside him who were also gobbling up, he asked.
"You say this dish is called stir-fry, why have I never heard of it before?"
After hearing his words, the little girl Xuanjing stopped gobbling up, lowered her head and replied a little embarrassed.
"Childe, this stir-fried dish is the characteristic of Songhe Tower, and it is precisely by relying on this stir-fried Songhe Tower that it can become one of the best restaurants in our Fengxiang City. ”
"Do you know how to make this stir-fry?"
Miao Cheng also stopped gobbling and shook his head.
"This stir-fry is the unique secret recipe of Songhe Tower, how do we know?"
"Doesn't Brother Wentong want the chefs in the palace to make this kind of ... Stir-fry?"
"Your Highness's daily work is a big thing, and these things can't get into His Highness's eyes at all. ”
"Okay. ”
Li Ze couldn't help sighing, he originally wanted to ask how this stir-fry was made, and then wait for him to return to the Li Mansion and ask the chefs of the Li Mansion to do the same.
But looking at the situation, it's in vain.
Half an hour later, as many as twenty plates of dishes on the table were finally eaten by them, and the three of them were unable to walk.
This can't blame them, Miaocheng Xuanjing, the two little girls, were just maids in the palace before, and half a year's salary was not enough to spend a meal in the Songhe Tower, how could they have the opportunity to come here?
And Li Ze, although he is the son of the president of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he has been clothed and eaten since he was a child, but the ones he eats are either boiled or roasted, or steamed, and he has never eaten stir-fried vegetables at all.
For the first time, I inevitably ate a little too much.
Eat and drink enough, and be ready to pay the bill and leave.
But when he wanted to pay the bill, Li Ze was surprised to find that he didn't bring any money.
With a bad premonition in his heart, he turned his head to look at the two little girls who were digesting food on the opposite side, touched his nose and asked.
"That Xuanjing Miaocheng, I didn't have time to bring money when I went out today, did you bring any money? Don't worry! I will return it to you when I go back." ”
The two little girls were dumbfounded, what is the situation?
Didn't Childe say that he would invite them to eat? Why did they pay the bill in the end?
Seeing the two little girls who were about to cry, Li Ze hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
"Don't... Don't cry, I don't mean to make you pay, I just really didn't bring any money. ”
The two little girls wanted to cry even more, and they were even more aggrieved, why did they bring them to this kind of place if they had no money.
The cost of a meal in the Songhe Tower is at least three months' wages.
Although they have money, who will go out with their three months' salary!
In the end, the little girl of Xuanjing cried with a sad face.
"Childe, we don't have so much money!"
Li Ze "........."
"And how much money do you have?"
The two little girls took out their money bags from their waists, counted them, and finally determined that the combined money of the two of them could not even afford a plate of vegetables, which was embarrassing.
The three of them fell silent, and the air fell into an eerie silence, all thinking about their own affairs.
Li Ze seemed to think of something, got up and came to the window to look at the hairy belly who was staying there quietly downstairs.
His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what bad idea was brewing.
The hairy belly below seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but shudder, looked up in the direction of the building, and saw Li Ze.
One person and one donkey looked at each other, Li Ze finally made a decision and shouted outside.
"Xiao Er checks out. ”
When the words fell, a shopkeeper pushed the door and walked in, and said respectfully when Li Ze didn't speak.
"This son, my shopkeeper said, he fell in love with your son, and today's meal is considered to be his invitation to your son. ”
Li Ze was originally going to mortgage the hairy belly, but after hearing this little er's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After more than ten seconds, he couldn't help but ask.
"Your shopkeeper, do we know each other?"
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"This villain doesn't know, anyway, all your meals are free today. ”
Li Ze couldn't help rubbing his chin. There are such good things in the world.
Is it because he's so handsome?
didn't think much about it, and not having to settle the bill eased his embarrassment.
"And what about your shopkeeper?"
"The shopkeeper has left. ”
Li Ze was puzzled again, and he was mysterious.
Shook his head, not thinking about that. got up and waved his hand at the two little girls who bowed their heads and were silent.
"In that case, let's go, it's time to go back after coming out for so long. ”
The two little girls lowered their heads and whispered, both blushing a little and embarrassed.
Coming to the downstairs of the Songhe Tower, Li Ze subconsciously looked up at the location of the fifth floor of the Songhe Tower, and seemed to see a figure flashing through the window.
It feels very special, very familiar, very close, as if it were my own family.
There were all kinds of doubts in his heart, but he finally shook his head, left here with a suspicious hairy belly, and walked in the direction of Qiwangfu.
I've been out for most of the day, and there is nothing particularly famous in Fengxiang, so I'm not in the mood to go shopping.
And after he walked away, by the window on the fifth floor of the Songhe Tower, a man in white stood quietly, looking at the direction that Li Ze was far away.
It's amazing, the man in white also felt a familiar, special and close aura on Li Ze, this breath is not in this world or that world, could it be said that Li Ze is the same as him...... It's a fellow.
"It seems that the world is getting more and more interesting. ”
He muttered in a low voice, then turned his head to look at a black-robed old man kneeling on one knee behind him.
"The bad people who serve the Tang royal family, the mysterious twelve buildings in Miaojiang, the Xuanming Sect established by the anti-thief Zhu Wen, the Tongwen Pavilion founded by Li Keyong, and the Phantom Sound Workshop just established by Song Wentong, all of this is true?"
The black-robed old man kneeling below heard this person's words, and his forehead overflowed with cold sweat, and he nodded again and again in reply.
"My lord, how dare the villain lie to you? It's all true, if you don't believe it, you can find another person to inquire about it. ”
The man in white waved his hand, signaling that the other party could leave.
The black-robed old man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the room.
When facing the man in white, the pressure on him was too great.
After the black-robed old man left, only the man in white was left in the room.
When he came to the window again and looked up at the sky, his gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier between the desolate earth and the mortal world, and saw the real desolate world.
A big smile appeared on his face.
The opportunity to change his fate and prove himself has come, how could he let it go?
It's just that in addition to what he knows, this world seems to have one more painting in the world.
...............
Wandering around and stopping all the way, the way back actually took an hour.
By the time Li Ze and the others returned to the palace, it was also close to the afternoon.
After returning to his room, Li Ze also fell into thinking after letting Xuanjing Miaocheng and the two little girls be busy with their own things.
I went out for half a day, and the things I encountered were quite good.
That Comrade Chuan Jianguo can't see anything at the moment, maybe the other party's name is a little special.
In short, it is still the same sentence, the other party will give him a lot of help at a critical moment in the future, maybe the other party's choice can be related to something about himself.
And the other, the shopkeeper in the pine crane tower... Boss.
I have never met before, but I feel very familiar and close.
The two of them are like two magnets, able to attract each other.
Why is this? Could it be that the shopkeeper of the Pine Crane Tower is also a man of natural sin?
No, he didn't feel that way even when facing Qin Shi Huang, who was also a descendant of Heavenly Sin.
Before one mystery could be solved, another mystery appeared.
All kinds of hesitation, all kinds of entanglements, all kinds of helplessness, and finally sighed.
There is so much information that I have endured in the past few days, and it is difficult to adapt to it for a while.
I looked at the sky outside and saw that the sun was already setting in the west, and it was about to get dark.
got up and pushed the door to take a look at his outside, and found that Xuanjing Miaocheng's two little girls were still guarding the door, and asked in surprise.
"Didn't you leave?"
Xuanjing Miaocheng, the two little girls, no longer have the liveliness and cuteness they had when they were outside, and they stood there with a look and answered respectfully.
"Qi Yu Gongzi, when His Highness left, he instructed us to take care of your diet and daily life and protect your safety, we can't leave. ”
Li Ze couldn't help but cover his face.
When he was in the Li Mansion, he didn't like to be served by someone around him, and now that he has to be served in this Qi Palace, he really feels a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, you said that Brother Wen Tong left, hasn't Brother Wen Tong come back yet? Why does it take so long?"
The two little girls shook their heads again, they didn't know what Song Wentong was doing?
"Your Highness's affairs are not something that we people can discuss. ”
"Well, well... It's getting late, and I don't need you to keep watch, so let's go back and rest. ”
Who knew that these two little girls didn't appreciate his kindness at all, and still stood there firmly.
"No, Your Highness has instructed us to take care of your diet and daily life, protect your safety, and we must not leave... At least until His Highness returns. ”
Looking at the two little girls in front of him, Li Ze was really in trouble.
These two little girls are very cute, cute... It makes people want to kiss it... Uh, no!
But he's really bad at that.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded.
"Okay, you ask the kitchen to cook me a bowl of porridge, I was too full at noon and I'm still holding on, and I can cook a bowl of porridge that can promote digestion." ”
The two little girls were all stunned, and they didn't understand what digestion meant?
"Childe, what is it to promote digestion?"
Li Ze was also stunned.
Digestion, what is digestion?
Yes, what is digestion?
"It's just... It is... Forget it, let the kitchen cook a bowl of porridge. ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
The little girl left here and headed to the kitchen. And Miaocheng still stood at the door to take care of Li Ze's diet and daily life to protect his safety.
Looking at Miaocheng, who was still guarding the door, Li Ze was completely helpless.
"Since you are guarding it, then keep it. ”
After speaking, I looked at the sky, it was not dark yet, and then let these two little girls go back to rest when it was dark.
He shook his head, then turned back to his room.
After returning to the room, Li Ze took a bronze mirror and carefully looked at his cheeks.
is not handsome to the point of being miserable, barely making do.
That's not the point, it's his forehead.
That person said that he had a blue lotus mark on his forehead.
That is, the mark of heavenly sin.
I watched it carefully, then I reached out and touched it, rubbed it, and still didn't see anything!
When he was observing himself here, Song Wentong, who had just returned from outside Fengxiang City, also met a guest.
It was the man in white in the pine crane tower.
Song Wentong frowned and looked at the man in white who suddenly appeared in front of him, and did not make a move immediately.
Although his strength has broken through the Great Heaven Position, reached the realm of condensation, and holds the Tianwen Sword in his hand, he has cultivated the great divine power of Wuji Sword Dao.
But in the face of the ordinary man in white, the other party gave him the feeling that it was dangerous, and he was not the other party's move.
Sure enough, he is a hero in the world, and any one who comes out has the strength to crush him.
"Who are you, and what are you looking for me?"
The man in white also looked at Song Wentong curiously, and was amazed.
Is this the legendary King of Qi? I didn't expect to see a living one.
"Li Maozhen, the king of Qi... Or Song Wentong, I want to know where the descendants of Heavenly Sin are, and who is behind you?"
The moment he said this, Song Wentong also reacted, and instantly pulled out the Tianwen Sword to kill him.
Even though it's not an opponent, it's still going to be a move.
The man in white couldn't help but shake his head in the face of Song Wentong, who was drawing his sword.
His strength in his world, though ordinary, in this world... In the Flood Desolation Realm, he has just stepped into cultivation.
But for people like Song Wentong who haven't really stepped into cultivation yet, he is invincible.
With a wave of his hand, an invisible barrier appeared in front of him, blocking Song Wentong's attack.
"It's useless, your strength can't hurt me yet......"
As soon as the man in white spoke, a golden light flashed above the Tianwen Sword, and then the barrier blocking him shattered.
In an instant, the man in white realized that the Tianwen Sword in Song Wentong's hand was not ordinary.
I am more interested in the person behind Song Wentong.
With one hand again, he wanted to block the Heavenly Question Sword with his flesh and blood.
In fact, he did block it, and the outstretched hand was on the tip of the Tianwen Sword, preventing it from taking a step forward.
But at the same time, the sharpness of the Tianwen Sword also cut his palm, and blood stained the tip of the Tianwen Sword and sprinkled it on the ground.
Song Wentong saw that the blow was successful, and he was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but before he could act, the Tianwen Sword was radiant and generous, and then the familiar black levitation appeared.
He and the young man in white were once again sucked in by the black vortex.
