Chapter 69 Invitation in the Mountains
"It's all my fault, causing you trouble. Ziyan looked at the mess in the house, Li Zhen's clothes were stained with blood, and he must have experienced another fight.
"How do you speak? It's those damned wicked people who are causing us trouble, so don't be foolish and blame yourself anymore. Li Zhen leaned over and patted Ziyan's shoulder.
"Ziyan, you take care of your illness, don't think about the rest, we are here!" Long Xiao smiled at Ziyan and nodded.
Long Xiao pulled Li Zhen aside and looked at him mysteriously.
"Why are you looking at me with such eyes?" Li Zhen was a little embarrassed when he was stared at by Long Xiao.
"Your kid's cultivation has improved a lot now, tell me what's going on?" Seeing that Li Zhen was making rapid progress now, Long Xiao was naturally happy for him in his heart.
"It's a long story, anyway, I got a lifelong cultivation from an old-timer, and I won't give you details on the rest. Li Zhen smiled proudly.
"Cut, what kind of mystery are you playing!" Long Xiao pouted.
"That's it, where have you been lately, why haven't you heard from you!" Li Zhen and Long Xiao seemed to have been separated for many years.
"Where can I go? I haven't been looking for your whereabouts! Later, I heard that someone had killed Huo Lingzi, and the Wutian Mountain and the imperial court had issued a chase and kill order, so I knew that you were making waves here, and when I arrived in Chang'an today, I felt the murderous aura here, and hurried over, and found that you were being chased and beaten by people behind your ass!" Long Xiao grinned.
"Nonsense! Why was I beaten in the ass?" Li Zhen looked unconvinced.
"Oh, no, no, you're getting someone to beat you, okay?"
"It's pretty much the same!" Li Zhen raised his head and snorted lightly, ignoring Long Xiao, "I'm going to take care of Miss Ziyan, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"
"You kid forgot his friends when he saw a girl!" Before Long Xiao could finish talking to Li Zhen, he ran away and shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Ziyan felt much better.
"Hey, do we have to get out of here?" Long Xiao was worried that the people of the Five Heavens Mountain would come to retaliate.
"I'm also thinking about this to see if Miss Purple Smoke's situation can be rushed. Li Zhen also felt that there were too many people here.
"Li Gongzi, I'm fine, aren't I okay now?" Ziyan got off the bed, stretched out his arm and spun around on the ground, looking at Li Zhen with a smile on his face.
"Okay, since the Purple Smoke Girl is fine, let's go. Li Zhen looked at Long Xiao and Ziyan and said.
"Let's go!" Ziyan replied happily, she didn't expect to be able to go through the rivers and lakes with Li Zhen and Long Xiao again, and she was naturally excited.
"Hey, let's just go, where are we going?" Long Xiao didn't know what Li Zhen was planning.
"Where's it going, I'll show you the way!" a strange voice came in.
The three of them were about to leave the Tianlai Inn, but they didn't expect Gonggong Hu to lead people to surround this place, Li Zhen looked out, and the black crowd was all over the street.
"Grandpa Hu, let's meet again. Li Zhen watched the visitor walk in slowly.
"Haha...... Shaoxia, don't come to harm!" Hu Gonggong looked at Li Zhen with a smile.
"Thanks to you, it's good!" Li Zhen didn't expect him to come here.
"Shaoxia, I have done a lot of cases in Chang'an City recently, our master wants to invite you to talk about it, I don't know if Shaoxia can appreciate it?"
"You mean Song Qing?" asked Li Zhen curiously.
"Song Qing, haha......" Gonggong Hu let out a long laugh, and his already gloomy and terrifying face looked even more disgusting at the moment.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Zhen looked puzzled.
"What is Song Qing, do you know how many people are more powerful than Song Qing in our Great Martial Dynasty?"
"How did I know about those in the imperial court!" Li Zhen said angrily.
"My master appreciates a young man like you who dares to be bold, how about it? Would you like to go with me?" Hu's father-in-law's face revealed a sincere expression, Li Zhen felt that there should be no fraud, why not go and see what happened?
"Okay! Just go, I don't believe in what Longtan Tiger's Den is. Li Zhen made up his mind.
"Okay, young man, have courage! Please!" Hu Gonggong stretched out his right hand and asked Li Zhen to go first.
"Long Xiao, they are here to find me this time, it has nothing to do with you, you and Ziyan are waiting for me in the Land Temple outside the city, I will be fine!" Li Zhen looked at Long Xiao with firm eyes.
"No, I'm going with you. "Where can Long Xiao bear to watch Li Zhen go alone, besides, the origin of these people is unknown, and it is not clear whether they are enemies or friends.
"No need, you help me take care of the Purple Smoke Girl!" Li Zhen had already made up his mind, and Long Xiao couldn't help but say.
"Okay! You be careful. Long Xiao knew what Li Zhen had decided, but he couldn't resist it, so he had to agree to him.
"Hmm!" Li Zhen nodded confidently.
"Let's go!" Gonggong Hu asked his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair a long time ago, and he opened the sedan curtain to invite Li Zhen in.
"Li Gongzi!"
Li Zhen strode towards the sedan chair, and was about to go up, when he suddenly heard the shout of purple smoke in his ears, he turned his head and saw that purple smoke was standing there with rain.
"I'm fine, I'll be back soon. Li Zhen comforted.
"I'll wait for you!" Ziyan held back tears and said three words.
Li Zhen had a complicated feeling in his heart, he looked at Ziyan, got into the sedan chair, and left with Gonggong Hu's team.
Li Zhen sat in the sedan chair and kept guessing the identity of the person who wanted to see him, the owner of Gonggong Hu, could it be the emperor?
"No, isn't the emperor in the capital? What are you doing in the northwest? Besides, the emperor won't see me!" Li Zhen thought silently in his heart.
Li Zhen sat in a sedan chair, and fell asleep groggily with the bumps in the road.
I don't know how long he walked, but when he woke up, the sedan chair had stopped, and he lifted the sedan curtain to look out.
This is in a barren mountain range, surrounded by trees, there seem to be patches of bamboo planted there, and a waterfall flows down from the mountains in the distance, like a jade belt hanging down.
"Ah...... Nice and beautiful environment. Li Zhen got out of the sedan chair and walked around, stretching his arms, and he was tired and uncomfortable after sitting in the sedan chair for a long time.
"Yo, Li Gongzi, are you awake?" Gonggong Hu happened to come over, walked to Li Zhen's side and said.
"What, is your master here?" asked Li Zhen curiously.
"Exactly! I saw you sleeping soundly just now, I didn't want to disturb you, my master said, when will you wake up, when will he see you. ”
"Then let's go over here!"
"Li Shaoxia, please!" Gonggong Hu led the way and walked in front, with Li Zhen following closely behind.
The soldiers guarding here are all over the mountains, and there are two people standing guard every two steps, Li Zhen looked at this formation, and he felt a little bottom in his heart.
They kept walking towards the mountain water, the sound of the water murmuring, and after a while they saw huts, and in the small courtyard in front of the houses were planted with all kinds of small flowers, and some vegetables and fruits.
"Li Gongzi, please, the person who wants to see you is in that house. Grandpa Hu stopped where he was, and he pointed to the hut with his finger.
"Okay!" Li Zhen walked straight into the house.
"It's not big, but it's well organized. It can be seen that the owner here is quite yearning for this pastoral life.
"Come in!" a voice came out, and Li Zhen listened to the voice like a young man.
Li Zhen walked towards the house, which was fully furnished, and a middle-aged man in a lilac robe was making tea in the house.
"Coming?"
"Hmm!Who are you?" Li Zhen thought it was the emperor, but when he came in, he saw how he was a Taoist priest.
"Don't ask me who I am, come and try my craft first. The man poured the brewed tea into a tea bowl next to him, and beckoned Li Zhen to come over and taste the tea together.
Li Zhencai didn't care if he was tired or not! Next to the man, he sat down, picked up the tea he had just made, and tasted it.
"Poof! it's too hot!" Li Zhen was a little thirsty along the way, picked up the tea bowl, and didn't care whether the water was boiling or not, as soon as he drank it, as soon as the tea reached his mouth, he felt a tingling pain in his tongue, and squirted out directly.
"Haha......" The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing when he looked at Li Zhen's demeanor.
"What do you think you're in a hurry?"
"You asked me to sit down and drink tea, and you didn't remind me about the hot water! You're still laughing there!" Li Zhen said angrily.
"Haha...... You're counting down to mine and I'm not. The middle-aged man's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
"You called me over just to see my jokes!" Li Zhen saw that this person was laughing endlessly, and he didn't respect himself at all.
"No, no...... Young man, please sit down!Let's drink tea and chat!" The middle-aged man finished speaking, and poured tea into Li Zhen's bowl.
"That's pretty much it. Li Zhen muttered in his heart.
When the tea was almost dry, Li Zhen picked it up and slowly sent it to his mouth.
"Well, this tea is so good. Li Zhen took a sip, and suddenly felt that from the tip of his tongue to his throat, to his stomach, he was filled with a strong fragrance of tea.
"Count your kid as a blessing, this is the new Biluo Spring in the south, can it not be fragrant?"
Li Zhen took two more sips, and said that it was strange that Li Zhen usually doesn't like to drink tea, but now the more he drinks, the more he wants to drink.
"Aren't you curious why I invited you here? Why don't you ask now?" The middle-aged man couldn't even bother to say anything when he saw that Li Zhen was drinking.
"If you want to say, you will naturally say, if you don't want to say, it's futile for me to ask!" Li Zhen held the tea bowl and blew, hoping that the tea would cool down soon.
"It's really worthy of being a hero from ancient times!How about it? Do you want to follow me to do a great career?" the middle-aged man looked at Li Zhen with admiration.
"You think too highly of me, don't you! Where do I look like a person who can do great things?" Li Zhen was not sure whether the other party was good or evil, so he didn't dare to blindly agree to him.
"The story of Shaoxia, I already know that eight or nine are not far from ten, I appreciate you, it's as simple as that. ”
"I'm down on the streets now, I don't even have a home, what is there to appreciate, it's good not to laugh at me. Li Zhen lowered his head and muttered.
"Hi...... The big husband can bend and stretch, so what is there to be discouraged about for the time being, don't you meet me? There is one thing at the moment, as long as you can do it, I promise to let you soar into the sky. ”
