[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 26, noon, Chang'an City Changle Fang, Yunqi Inn]

Xu Ke sent Mingyue to the inn, and at this moment, it was lunch time, and the two of them ordered a table of wine and food in this Yunqi inn, sat opposite each other, and chatted while eating.

Xu Ke's face unconsciously showed shame, but Mingyue didn't care at all, she kept pouring wine and food for Xu Ke, as if she was very reluctant to part with Xu Ke.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xu Ke asked:

"Miss Mingyue, what are your plans for the future?

I still want to stay in Chang'an, after all, I have been living here for ten years. ”

"However, if you stay in Chang'an alone, you will be a little lonely, so it is better to let Xu find your father and brother for you......"

"Don't bother, Lord Xu!" Mingyue said with a busy wave of her hand. When she saw that the shopkeeper brought another plate of snow-white and crystal tofu, she suddenly had an idea in her heart and said:

"I want to open a tofu workshop in Chang'an City!"

"Tofu workshop, do you know how to make tofu?" Xu Ke said curiously.

"Hmm......" Mingyue replied with a smile: "The tofu I made is delicious! It's not worse than that 'Xianyang Guo Tofu'!"

Xu Ke stretched out his chopsticks, took a piece of tofu in front of him, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly, only to feel that the tofu was smooth and tender, and melted in his mouth, as if this plate of "Xianyang Guo Tofu" famous in Chang'an was made by Mingyue.

Xu Ke also smiled: "That relationship is good! The tofu made by Miss Mingyue is simply called 'Mingyue Tofu', how about it?"

"Okay, Lord Xu, you can patronize the business of my 'Mingyue Tofu Workshop' in the future!"

"Well, that's natural! In the future, I will go up and down in Xufu, and the tofu for three meals a day will be covered by you Mingyue girl!"

"No problem!"

The two of them made a decision so happily.

Xu Ke thought to himself, I originally thought that Miss Mingyue, as the top brand of Cuiyun Building in the past, if she left the brothel, I don't know what she would rely on for a living?

Xu Ke asked Mingyue again why she learned to make tofu in Cuiyun Building? Mingyue smiled and said, where did she become a child in Cuiyun Building? Before she was sold into a brothel at the age of fourteen, she followed her father to learn to make tofu, and their family originally made a living by selling tofu, but later, after a catastrophe, the whole family could not survive, so his father had no choice but to sell his daughter into the Qinglou.

......

After lunch, just do it, at that moment, Xu Ke ordered the shopkeeper of Yunqi Inn to help find a suitable store in Changle Fang, and said that in the future, Miss Mingyue would use it as a tofu workshop.

Xu Ke searched through his bag and found three silver tickets worth one hundred taels, and he handed them over to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was originally an honest man, but when he saw that Xu Ke was so generous, and he was a big official in Tsing Yiwei, how could he dare to shirk half a point?

Mingyue saw that Xu Ke had to spend a lot of silver taels for her, and she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart, Xu Ke said with a smile, just as he was advancing the money to buy tofu in the future.

So, Mingyue lived in the inn for a few days, and just waited for the shopkeeper to find a suitable store for her, and her "Mingyue Tofu Workshop" could be opened.

After Xu Ke said goodbye to Mingyue, he went back to his official room in the Tsing Yi Guard. He also had to seize the time to dispose of the mountains of official documents on the table.

At the moment of the unitary hour, Nangong Bu came to him again, and the two exchanged a few words, and Nangong Bu wanted to invite Xu Ke to his home for dinner together.

Xu Ke hurriedly waved his hand again and again, only saying that there were too many official documents waiting for him to deal with, and he had to leave his duty later today, Brother Nangong should go back early, and don't let the sisters in the family wait for Yunyun.

Nangong was silent, and naturally knew that Xu Ke was afraid of seeing his sister Wuhua, so Nangong shook his head and had to turn around and withdraw.

However, when Nangong was silent and had just walked to the door of the official room, Xu Ke suddenly stopped Nangong again:

"Brother Nangong, that day the little brother was in Jinding Mountain, Mao Jiaojiao not only asked the little brother to bring you a silk handkerchief, but also asked me to bring a sentence to you, do you want to hear it?"

"What?"

"Mao Jiaojiao said, 'This Fang Jinpa, is her beloved thing, today to give Nangong Qianhu, a little show of her heart! If he is interested in Nangong's brother in the future, please tie the silk handkerchief to his body, and meet him in the middle of the night!'......"

"Balin Yuan, so Mao Jiaojiao has been hiding in Balin Plain these days?" Nangong asked silently.

Looking at the look on his face, after learning where Mao Jiaojiao was hiding, he seemed to want to arrest him.

It turned out that since the Jin King Li Ci and Xu Ke both returned to Chang'an City safely, Tsing Yiwei was ordered to go to the south of Chang'an City to catch demons. Nangong Buyu once led a large number of men and horses, along with a team of elite forbidden troops, to the foot of Jinding Mountain. It's just that no matter how carefully they searched around Jinding Mountain, they still saw nothing. They even found the cave where Li Ci and Xu Ke had been imprisoned, but the cave had long been empty.

For this notorious "and alloy fairy" Mao Jiaojiao, the emperor has already made a will, and Li Zuo, the king of Han, died at the hands of Mao Jiaojiao, no matter who can catch Mao Jiaojiao, the emperor will have a heavy reward!

Nangong silently led the troops to entrench in Jinding Mountain for a long time, but he could not find the slightest trace of Mao Jiaojiao. Now, when Nangong heard Xu Ke's words, when it came to Mao Jiaojiao's willingness to hide in the Balin Plains in the northwest of the city, Nangong was naturally happy, and he was thinking at the time, should he immediately lead his troops and go to Bashan to catch demons?

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw Nangong with such an expression:

"How...... Does Brother Nangong still want to lead troops to Balin Yuan to arrest Mao Jiaojiao?"

Nangong was silent and immediately said: "Mao Jiaojiao is a cat demon, she not only charmed young and strong men, brutally killed the lives of more than ten Chang'an men, but also bewitched King Han, causing King Han to die suddenly in Cuiyun Tower. Now, the emperor hates the cat demon, and His Royal Highness King Zhao is also bothering to take her, shouldn't I go and arrest her?"

"Brother Nangong, the younger brother saw it with his own eyes, Mao Jiaojiao can be said to have true feelings for you, if you really have no intention, just don't go to her, why bother to arrest her?!"

Nangong was silent and slightly embarrassed and said:

"Brother Xian, after all, you and I are human beings, and they are demon clans! Between demons and humans, where does the 'true love' come from? Brother Xian, don't make fun of the foolish brother about this again!"

Xu Ke said: Happy

"Brother Nangong, according to the foolish brother's opinion, although Mao Jiaojiao is a cat demon, her nature is not bad, although the shemales are different, but the reason is the same! The big demon in the world, if Gou can do more good deeds and have good thoughts, he is much stronger than those hypocrites who are hypocritical everywhere! I see that Mao Jiaojiao's true feelings for you don't seem to be fake!"

"Brother Xian, don't say it again!"

Nangong turned his back without saying a word, it was obvious that he didn't want to say half a word about the cat demon to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke saw that between him and Nangong, in the matter of "the difference between demons", he was no longer speculative, so he didn't say much, and immediately shook his head, watching Nangong go out without saying a word.

......

......

At the same time, in the "Hao Garden" of the Shenwang Pavilion, Li Yi, the king of Zhao, was sitting with his master Bai Wuming drinking tea at this time. At this time, Bai Wuming did not look like a fourteen-year-old boy, but an old man with white hair and long hair.

The two sat in the pavilion of Haoyuan, listening to the crisp sound of birdsong, looking at the flowery flowers, the bright sky light, and the gentle breeze as a companion, while drinking tea, chatting.

Li Yi's expression was the happiest at this time, firstly, sitting with his master was the happiest time, and secondly, this Hao Garden was located in the Divine King Pavilion, no matter how long he lived in it, time would always stand still, so he could walk and rest in it at will, and he didn't have to worry about time passing for a moment......

"Master, that deer demon has been playing around in the outer courtyard, don't you annoy him?" asked Li Yi.

Bai Wuming took a sip of tea, looked in the direction of the front yard, and said with a smile:

"My Divine King Pavilion has been more than 300 years since it was built. For so many years, it is rare to have a guest who is willing to accompany me to be lively, I am too late to be happy, how can I be annoyed!"

Although the Haoyuan where Bai Wuming and Li Yi were sitting at the moment was only separated by a gate from the outer courtyard of the Divine King Pavilion, the difference between the front and back was nothing less than a world of difference. In the Hao Garden, there is a splendid pastoral scenery, charming and beautiful, just like a fairyland on earth. The outer courtyard was filled with mist, and there was almost nothing but the towering walls on all sides.

The most important thing is that the biggest difference between the outer courtyard of the Shenwang Pavilion and the inner garden is that as long as you enter the inner garden, time can never flow, while in the outer courtyard, time is still passing, and it will not stop for a minute......

At this time, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to say that this deer demon really has some ability! He and the two stone lions guarding the door have been fighting endlessly for three days and three nights, and they still have the strength to support it!"

Bai Wuming said: "After all, this demon has been cultivating for more than a thousand years, and besides, he is still a martial arts wizard, and he is full of frost sword qi, which is really rare!"

Li Yi asked, "Master, when are you going to release him?"

Bai Wuming asked rhetorically, "Do you want to let him go?"

Li Yidao: "Doesn't the master often teach his disciples, 'God has the virtue of a good life'? This deer demon has also practiced for more than a thousand years, and after all, there is nothing too big about this demon, so why don't you master open up to him?"

Bai Wuming waved his hand and said indifferently:

"This demon trespassed into my Divine King Pavilion, and now he is trapped in the gate guarding array, it is really his own fault! I have no life in vain and have not invited him, and you Li Yi have not posted a post to invite him, it is his life, you say it doesn't count! I don't count! This time he came uninvited, whether he can get out alive depends on whether God will give him a chance......

......

......

At this moment, in the outer courtyard of the Divine King Pavilion, Lu Huoli was leaning on the ground, his chest was already surging with qi and blood, and his whole body was already sweating profusely.

As Li Yi said, it has been three days and three nights since Lu Huoli walked into the gate of the Divine King Pavilion with the Divine King Order in his hand on the afternoon of April 22.

For three days and three nights, Lu Huoli had to fight with the two giant lions that suddenly appeared every day, three or four times.

The two giant lions seem to be made of stone, and the frost sword in Lu Huoli's hand is extremely sharp, and it can still be broken when it is touched by gold and iron, not to mention the two stone lions?

But the terrible thing is that no matter what kind of pieces Lu Huoli's long sword cuts the stone lion into, after the stone lion falls to the ground, in a moment, those broken stones can gather again, and the stone lion can live again, and fight with him again!

Although Lu Huo was in the centrifugation, he was unable to do anything, every time he saw the stone lion rushing towards him, he had no other way but to fight with the stone lion with his sword.

No, I saw the stone lion swallow him into his belly!

Fortunately, the stone lion's body seems to be a hidden machine, and every time the stone lion can fight against Lu Huoli, it will only take two hours at most. As soon as the two hours passed, the two stone lions would each roar, leap to both sides, and disappear into the thick mist......

Moreover, the more often the stone lion appears, the more often it appears. At night, the stone lion will never appear again, as if the stone lion also knows that the more Lu Huoli fights with the stone lion, the more weak and weak he becomes, and the night is the time when Lu Huoli needs to sleep.

As the fatigue in the land fire centrifugation increased day by day, the frequency of the two stone lions became less and less, and today, until the evening unitary hour, the two stone lions jumped out once.

But Lu Huoli didn't feel half happy, on the contrary, he only felt more and more frightened in his heart.

Lu Huoli vaguely felt that in the darkness of this huge courtyard, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him. The scene of his hard work and exhaustion to fight with the stone lion, in front of that pair of eyes, it seems to be watching a good show!

Moreover, a strange conjecture suddenly arose in Lu Huo's centrifugation, why did the frequency of the appearance of those two stone lions follow his tired feelings? Previously, when he was strong, the stone lion had to pounce on him no less than four times a day, but now there are only less than two left! It seems that the "master" who controlled the stone lion did not seem to want to die in the mouth of the stone lion. Every time he released the stone lion, it was until his strength had almost recovered......

When Lu Huoli thought about it like this, his heart immediately became even more panicked!

He prides himself on being a generation of sword immortals, and he is also the national teacher of a country, his martial arts have reached the pinnacle, and the swordsmanship of Flowing Frost is unparalleled in the world.

Lu Huoli thought to himself, if according to this law, the stone lion only appeared once today, and in some hours, when his strength was almost recovered, the stone lion should reappear once.

Thinking of this, Lu Huoli didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly turned over and sat up, while meditating cross-legged, silently using his internal strength, slowly calming the flow of true yuan in his body, and on the other hand, he raised his mouth to the sky, swallowing the water droplets from the mist.

In the past few days, Lu Huo has not entered the drop of rice, and he has relied on some water droplets in the mist to solve the drinking needs in his body......

Lu Huoli closed his eyes and rested for about two hours, and at two o'clock, Lu Huoli only felt that his strength had recovered slightly, and he suddenly heard the sound of a lion's roar.

Sure enough, today, Shishi's second pounce finally came again!
