Chapter 490 - Own Quick Solution
Qiao Yong can be regarded as successfully taking the people of the fleet home, strictly speaking, it is not a breach of promise, but in his mind, what he said at the beginning was that if there were any consequences, he could bear it alone, but he did bear the consequences, but he did not hold back.
Although his brothers were not imprisoned, they did not get due rewards, and they lost their jobs regardless of whether they were disabled or not, and although he Qiao Yong was imprisoned, he was later released, and his family had nothing to do and family wealth, so his heart was always like a thorn in his heart, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
Qiao Yong's "do your best" in his mouth is not just talking, Ji Yuan and the old beggar can see some from the current situation of the Qiao family, not only scattering gold and silver, but also distributing most of the Qiao family's original large amount of land, although the Qiao family is not starving now, but it is absolutely impossible to eat in the past, and they have to rely on their hands to work.
The process of understanding Qiao Yong is also the process of understanding Daxiu, in general, although Emperor Daxiu is eager to get the elixir, it is not stubborn and does not listen to advice.
As for the kind of thing of asking for the elixir, it was put in the previous Dazhen Emperor to do it, because the immortal road was ethereal, it was indeed not a proper business, but after all, Daxiu itself has a heavenly master, and the people are ignorant, but the upper magnates still have some understanding of the immortal way, at least they all understand that there are really immortals in the world who have the means to reach the sky, so asking for pills is not a pure dream.
At this time, Qiaode, the old servant of the Qiao family, came from outside and said something in the living room.
"Sir, Madame said that dinner was ready, and asked if you could have dinner?"
Hearing this, Qiao Yong looked at Ji Yuan and the old beggar.
"Immortal Ji Chang, Immortal Lu Chang, why don't we have dinner?"
The old beggar smiled.
"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Ji and I haven't eaten for many days, and I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my back!"
"Oh oh, Ade, hurry up and start eating, hurry up and start eating, is the canteen ready?"
"Okay, okay, I've already cleaned it up, I'll go to the kitchen first, and the master can take the two immortals over!"
The old servant Qiao Deyan arched his hand towards Ji Yuan and the old beggar in the living room, and took a few steps back before turning to leave.
Ji Yuan watched thoughtfully as the only servant of the Qiao family left, and in his blurred vision, he could see that Qiao De was extremely vigorous, and his eyes turned to the old beggar, and he found that he was also looking at the old man who was leaving.
Then the old beggar's gaze turned back, and Ji Yuan's gaze paired, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Two immortal elders, please come with me to the dining hall!"
Qiao Yong had already stood up and stretched out his hand at the door to please.
A moment later, in the Qiao family's dining hall, the Qiao family's family, as well as Ji Yuan and the old beggar's two guests, were all seated at a large round table, and the only one standing was the old servant Qiao De.
The old beggar's eyes swept all over the dining hall, and he could see some residual cobwebs and other things, and Ji Yuan moved his nose, in addition to smelling the aroma of the food, he could also smell a damp dust, which was usually only after the smell was cleaned.
It seems that the canteen has not been used for a long time, and this time it is specially cleaned.
On the round table, there are a total of ten dishes, there are naturally a lot of fresh vegetables, the most conspicuous is a large braised fish, and two large plates of white chopped chicken, and the rest such as peanuts, dried radishes, etc., plus a pot of wine, is the dinner entertained by the Qiao family.
The people at the whole table were paying attention to Ji Yuan and the old beggar, no one moved their chopsticks, Mrs. Qiao and the adult Qiao family were still able to look at each other, but the two young children were all staring at the two plates of chicken.
Qiao Yong personally poured wine into the wine cup of Ji Yuan and the old beggar and said politely.
"Two immortal elders, move your chopsticks! You can come to my Qiao family, it is the blessing of my Qiao family!"
Ji Yuan looked at the old beggar.
"Well, Mr. Lu, aren't you so hungry that your chest is pressed against your back, please use it. ”
"Hey, hey, you're welcome to call Hanako! Tut-tut, these two plates of chicken, Hanako likes this the most!"
The old beggar naturally did not hold back, and in the eyes of the two young children of the Qiao family, he took away one chicken butt, and then took the other one and sent it to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, this is a good thing, it is commonly known as anchovy meat in the market, this is for you. ”
Ji Yuan waved his hand again and again.
"No, no, the gentleman doesn't take what people like, Mr. Lu just eats it, Ji is not good at this bite. ”
As he spoke, Ji Yuan stretched out his chopsticks and put a few pieces of green vegetables from the middle soup pot into his mouth, and there was a delicious taste overflowing from the chewing, obviously this vegetable soup was boiled with chicken broth, which was very delicious.
"Everyone eats, entertains guests, how can there be a reason for the host to watch. ”
Ji Yuan stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed two more chicken legs, but this time they were put in the bowls of the two children, and the two children immediately looked at Qiao Yong, and when they saw the latter nodding, they directly grabbed the chicken legs with a smile on their faces, and gnawed on them after dipping them in soy sauce.
"Yes, yes, we eat too, and we eat too. ”
As soon as Qiao Yong spoke, the Qiao family started to use chopsticks, and the atmosphere in the dining hall quickly became warm, and the children's laughter added a lot of vitality.
......
In the middle of the night, Qiao's family had already rested, and Ji Yuan and the old beggar sat alone at the stone table in the small courtyard of the guest room, one looking up to admire the moon, and the other closing his eyes to recuperate.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Qiao family is in decline, this house is still good, and it is no problem to clean up the guest room.
At a certain moment in the middle of the night, Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze to admire the moon, and the old beggar opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
A gust of wind blew, and the two immortals were no longer in front of the stone table.
There was a small alley behind Qiao's mansion, and at this moment, Qiao De was like a night owl, gently jumping out of the courtyard wall, and then fell into the alley outside the courtyard, tiptoe to the ground and slightly bent his body, and the whole process was silent.
"It's good!"
Zhongzheng's calm voice sounded faintly, startling Jod, who thought he was unaware, and turned around to find Ji Yuan and the old beggar standing there against the wall of Qiao's courtyard.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, allowing Jode to clearly see the smiles on the faces of Ji Yuan and the old beggar.
"Ji is very curious, if after the period of the Xianyou Conference, Mr. Lu and I don't come, what will happen to the Qiao family?
The old man's face was cloudy, and after changing a few times, he raised his head and gritted his teeth.
"I don't know what the period of the Xianyou Conference is, I only know that if there are no immortals visiting before next autumn, I, Qiao De, will try to escort the old man's family out of Kyoto, and there will be a place to stay at the ends of the earth!"
The old beggar laughed "haha".
"It's a two-sided work, and it's a bit of loyalty!"
Joad shook his head.
"The immortal chief has a good reputation, although I, Qiao De, admit that I have never done anything to hurt the Qiao family, but in the final analysis, I am also disloyal to the master. ”
"Hmph, it's not the Qiao family, why are you being disloyal? Where are you going? Heavenly Master? Such carving insect skills, you still want to hide from me and Mr. Ji?"
The old beggar asked with a sneer, and as soon as his fingers hooked, a sachet flew out of Jod's arms, and pinched it with his fingers, there should be a talisman in it.
Joad doesn't hide it either.
"The two of them are really masters, I don't tell lies, I really went to the Heavenly Master, the old man is idle at home, it seems that there is nothing to do, but in fact, how can he ignore it, it's just from light to dark, but he really didn't do anything harmful. ”
Ji Yuan nodded.
"That's true, but if we don't come before next fall, we don't know what will happen......"
With a sigh, Ji Yuan said to Jode.
"Go ahead and do what you have to do. ”
Jord was stunned.
"Uh, those two immortals ......"
The old beggar was not angry.
"Let's go back naturally to rest, I haven't slept or eaten for a few days and nights, and after eating a good and full meal, I'm sleepy and panicked, it's not you rabbit cub, I always call Hanako to go to bed early!"
"Hahaha, Ji Mou has figured it out, Mr. Lu's good meal is two chicken butts and a chicken head, plus half a bowl of soup and a few dishes, if you are invited to eat next time, Ji Mou can be regarded as having a standard. ”
"How can you say such a thing!?"
"Hahaha......"
In the laughter in his ears, Jod found that Ji Yuan and the old beggar were getting fader and fader in front of him, and finally disappeared, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked around, there was indeed no one.
After hesitating for a while, Jod still walked away quickly, heading in the direction of the Heavenly Master in the capital.
......
In the early morning of the second day, Qiao Yong, who got up early in the morning, naturally couldn't go to sell vegetables today, but took Ji Yuan and the old beggar straight to the Heavenly Master.
As an extremely important institution of Daxiu, the Celestial Master Office is located in the imperial city, close to the imperial palace.
Different from the more secret state of the Heavenly Masters in various places, the Heavenly Masters in the capital are magnificent, and they should be more magnificent.
On the one hand, it's because, anyway, there are basically no people on the edge of the palace who can come in, and on the other hand, it's also because you can't build too plain where the emperor occasionally goes, right?
There were several guards standing guard outside the door of the Heavenly Master's Office, and when they saw Qiao Yong and the two people behind him approaching with great purpose, they became vigilant one after another.
"Stop, what are you doing, you know that you can't let the people approach casually here, retreat quickly!"
Qiao Yong quickly stopped and saluted them.
"The two officials of several gates, in the next were originally Qiao Yong, the commander of the water division of my Chaoxi Town, and concurrently served as the chief consul of the East China Sea Immortal Seeking Fleet, and he once said that the immortals led the fleet back to the court, and now the immortals have arrived as promised, and the two immortal chiefs have come to the Heavenly Master to find the national teacher!"
"Qiao Yong!?" "Admiral of the West Town Water Division?"
"It seems that there is such a person!"
"These two behind you are immortals?"
There are countless strange people in the Heavenly Master, but there are not many who are qualified to call a "fairy", and other "immortal masters" are official honorifics, and many people are actually more suitable to call mages.
"But the National Teacher is not at the Heavenly Master's place, so how many of you want to come back at an unknown date, right?"
Ji Yuan smiled.
"Ji Mou knows that the national teacher and the Daxiu Emperor are in the City God Temple in Kyoto. ”
"Huh!?"
Several guards were on guard, but before they could ask anything, Ji Yuan asked the old beggar.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think we should do?"
"Hehe, it's too troublesome to come and go, so let's use a faster way. ”
Ji Yuan and the old beggar decided before they came, and this time the matter could be a little bigger.
While the old beggar said this, the mana around his body was running, he stretched out his finger to the sky and the earth to rotate, and wrote the spiritual text in the palm of his left palm, and the next moment he patted it lightly in the direction of the ground, and his spirit opened in a concentrated manner.
"Show Kyoto Castle God, come and see you quickly!"
"Bang ......"
Like the ripples of water, a green smoke brought a faint whirlwind, and appeared in front of the old beggar as it turned.
Wearing a soap robe and a black veil, the divine light behind him was shining, but his face was terrified......
Daxiu Kyoto Chenghuang's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Ji Yuan and the old beggar in disbelief.
