Chapter 263: In the Imperial City (2)
Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "In our Central Plains Empire, the emperor is the supreme existence, who does he want to dispose of, he only needs to say a word, he doesn't have to do it himself, he has his own executioner of the criminal department to kill people." I think that the old patriarch of the nobility is also a character who gives orders. ”
His meaning was self-evident, that Sharpland was just doing what he was told.
Shila laughed at herself, smiled, and continued to tour with the two.
She pointed to an extremely tall building and said, "That is the abode of the Great Elder, and there is no higher than this when you look at the cold and desolate land. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan and Zhang Heng listened to what she said, that is, only Sharplun was the only one in the cold wilderness and extreme north. Zhang Heng showed an unhappy look on his face, and Lu Xiaoyuan said, "May I ask Miss Sixila, where did the old patriarch live when he was not missing?"
Schilla was a little surprised, and after a while, she pointed to a lower attic next to Sharpen's residence and said, "There." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "According to what Miss Sishira said, it turns out that the power of the Great Elder is still above the patriarch. ”
Si Shila's face changed color and said, "Lu Shaoxia, don't talk nonsense. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said nonchalantly: "You said this first, if it leaks out, Miss Sishira will not be able to escape the involvement, but I don't know if the Great Elder really has this intention." ”
Shila said in his heart: "If the Great Elder has this intention, how can he make it public? If he preaches what I have said, the Great Elder will definitely punish me severely." He said in a low voice: "This is my momentary confusion, nonsense, and it has nothing to do with the Great Elder, and I also ask Lu Shaoxia and Zhang Gongzi to keep this matter for me." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't say it, if we harm such a charming and tactful beauty as Miss Si Xila, won't we go to hell after death?"
Sciraj chuckled. She originally hinted at Shaplon and demonstrated to the two in the name of sightseeing, and brought the two over, but she was restrained everywhere. She fell into the hands of others, so she honestly introduced the construction of the city to the two.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a person on the side of the road shouting: "Let's take a look, the shells just picked in the hundred-zhang deep cold pool, every time they open, there are excellent pearls in each one, and I regret my life if I miss it!"
Lu Xiaoyuan went over and asked, "Dude, are you selling something?"
The man said, "Look, this boy, these are all freshly picked shells, and if you open one of the ten shells, the pearls that come out will belong to you, and half of the pearls in them are worth a fortune." I see that the prince is full of heaven and the earth pavilion is round, and he is a person with deep fortune, so it is better to open one. ”
In front of him was a basket filled with shallow water and a dozen or so shells.
Lu Xiaoyuan realized that this was a lucky deal, shook his head, and was about to refuse, when his heart suddenly moved, and asked, "Are all your shells picked in a hundred-foot deep cold pool?"
The man nodded and said: "Yes, yes, in the entire Shennong clan, if you want to talk about martial arts and the ability to make poison, the villain is not worth mentioning, but when it comes to water and cold-resistant kung fu, the villain says second, but no one dares to say first." In the depths of the cold pool, only villains can go, and the shells there bear superb pearls. The prince opened one and gave it to his sweetheart, and she will definitely be able to teach her to be happy and obedient to the son. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Okay." He took off the cloth bag around his waist, poured out all the shell coins, and counted them, and there were forty-one shells and thirty or so tooth shells, which he had gone out hunting and sold his prey for money, and took out forty shells and handed them to the man, saying, "I will open four." ”
Forty shellfish is a lot in a cold and barren area. Lu Xiaoyuan hunted a white bear, cut out a piece of fat yuan weighing a catty and a half in its body, and sold thirty-seven shellfish, but this fat yuan is very rare, and it is difficult to encounter one among a hundred white bears.
If it were someone else, he would never spend such a large amount of money to do this.
The man smiled, put the money in his arms, and said, "Son, please choose, the villain wishes Childe a treasure from the sky." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan picked out a shell, took the knife from the man's hand, and pried it open along the crack of the shell, but it was a small and deflated bead, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
The man smiled and said: "There are three more, the prince is a blessed person, and the last three must be a big profit, good luck." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan opened another one, and this time the pearl was only the size of a dragon's eye. He opened four shells in succession, and obtained four pearls of different sizes, the small one the size of a small fingernail, and the large one the size of a green apricot, but deflated into one piece.
Si Xila giggled and said: "Lu Shaoxia, in the extreme north, only the Dragon's Tooth Valley and the Dragon's Ridge have a cold pool, the Dragon's Ridge is hundreds of miles away, and the Dragon's Tooth Valley is sealed by the Great Elder, where did he find the cold pool? Could it be that he dug a well at home and hit a cold pool?"
Lu Xiaoyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "I'm really confused, the pearls in the shell were all put in advance by this person, how can there be the best pearls? There are so many tricks in the Jiangnan region that I didn't even know through it." ”
Zhang Hengqi said: "Brother Lu, what do you want pearls for?"
Lu Xiaoyuan sighed: "I just wanted to make a fortune, but who knew that I fell for this person." ”
The shellfish seller smiled awkwardly and did not speak.
Zhang Heng took out a money bag and said, "If you use the money, take it." I don't need it anyway. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan shook his hand and said, "Thank you, no need." ”
When I came to the Divine Flame Temple, the banquet had been prepared at this time, and there was a huge round table in the hall, and nearly 100 people sat around the table, which was still very spacious. The table was full of wine and meat, as well as hot pots and grills, and the congregation was nine out of ten.
Lu Xiaoyuan and Zhang Heng sat down and chatted with everyone for a while, Lan Xi stood up, nodded people, and said to Sharplen: "Great Elder, everyone has arrived." ”
Sharpland smiled, "Okay. Everyone is busy on weekdays, it is difficult to gather, the annual Shennong celebration, we gather together, it is really a great pleasure. Leave aside all grievances and sorrows tonight, and have fun. With that, he stood up and raised his glass to invite, and everyone cheered and drank the wine in the glass.
Although everyone in the Ice Castle is inseparable from Sharplen, they still have a lot of friends in the Imperial City, and when they meet at the banquet, they are all smiling and chatting happily.
Instead of drinking, Elder Danyu took out a gourd and poured a full cup of green juice. Others wondered, "What is this?"
Dan Yu said: "This thing is called "Baicao Qi Soup", which is mainly made of nightshade grass and golden sand lotus, and taking it can maintain health and prolong life. ”
He is called a miracle doctor, in fact, he is familiar with the way of health preservation, and he is not good at using medicine to treat diseases, and using poison to detoxify, among the Shennong people, even seven or eight-year-old children are also coarse.
When everyone next to them heard this, they were very interested, and they came forward one after another and asked gossip. 1910
