Black tiles and white walls, a lot of traffic.
The wide streets are filled with caravans from all over the world, and rare spices, jewelry, ingredients, and medicinal materials can be bought here.
This is Cangzhou, the most prosperous and developed place in the world besides the imperial city.
[The progress of the host's strategy has reached a quarter, and the task rewards will be issued according to the results of the strategy. 】
[Rewards are issued, any memory fragment *1, and twenty taels of silver fragments. Overall Rating: Moderate. 】
[Please adjust the direction of the host, make persistent efforts, and become self-reliant. 】
"Cough cough!"
Li Ruoshui put down the teacup, covered his mouth and coughed, as if he was choking badly.
What are you doing? Nearly died several times before, and the rating is only medium? Why didn't she know about the ratings earlier?
[The rating is related to the emotional fluctuations of the target of the strategy. Medium is not bad. Please don't belittle yourself. 】
[The success of the strategy is not in each rating, but in the end, the host should not be discouraged and try to go home. 】
After coughing for a while, a slightly cold hand reached out to help her pat her back, and the white jade Buddha beads on her wrist jingled.
"slower."
The voice was soft and warm, and when the others in the inn heard it, they could not help but secretly turn their heads to take a look, and then turned around and whispered in amazement.
After Li Ruoshui was relieved, he withdrew his hand, continued to pick up the chopsticks to eat the food in the bowl, and then raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Are you sure the antidote is in Cangzhou?"
"Sure." Li Ruoshui took a piece of roast chicken for him: "I still know where it is, but I just don't know how to get it."
In the original book, Lu Feiyue and the two brought Lu Zhiyao to Cangzhou. Although they were helping him find the antidote, they were mainly here to carry out the mission. However, they happened to find fire grass at the home of the mission target, which helped him detoxify the poison.
If you want to detoxify, just wait for the time, and finally complete the task Lu Feiyue can get the fire grass.
But it's too slow. During this period, the poison will still occur. It's really painful.
Huo Yicao lives in a wealthy businessman's house, and it is impossible to spend money to buy it. If she wants to steal it, Lu Feiyue is definitely not willing, and she herself does not know martial arts...
"Are you interested in accepting a reward order to help me get the antidote?"
Lu Zhiyao ate the food she brought with her brows stretched and her smile gentle.
"Last time I saved you voluntarily, but this time I have to count the money. I'm very expensive."
Li Ruoshui clutched the twenty taels he just got, with a bit of hesitation on his face: "How expensive?"
Lu Zhiyao did a quick comparison, and after hearing Li Ruoshui's inhalation sound, his smile softened even more.
"Are you too dark? The needle I blocked for you is reasonable, shouldn't you help your savior?"
"It's not so much about saving lives, it's better like this."
Lu Zhizao put down his chopsticks and looked serious.
"Give me your hair, and I'll get the antidote for you."
Lu Zhiyao blamed his hair for his good mood yesterday. If he could rub it all the time, his mood would probably be much more relaxed.
"What do you want your hair for?"
Li Ruoshui covered his head as if he was stepping on his tail and moved away from him, his eyes full of disbelief.
What are you doing? At such a time, you either want money or people. Which neuropathy wants hair? !
Lu Zhiyao thought about it for a while, with a smile on his lips: "Be a doll, I can rub it when I have nothing to do, and I can sleep soundly when I put it on the pillow at night."
With the sun on his body, he looked warm. When it came to sleeping soundly, his shoulder blades loosened. It seemed that just thinking about it would make him feel comfortable.
Li Ruoshui bit his chopsticks and looked at him, he couldn't help swallowing, his eyes were complicated.
It turns out that he is not only crazy, but also a pervert.
Her strategy is also too difficult.
"Do you want long hair and short hair?" Li Ruoshui felt that he could still be rescued.
"If I want it, it must be all."
Isn't that why you want her to be bald?
"It's impossible." Li Ruoshui sternly refused: "I'd rather suffer a few times than shave my head."
Lu Zhiyao sat up straight, the white jade Buddha beads on his wrists gleamed with sunlight, he was not surprised by this answer at all, instead he curved the corners of his lips.
"Remember to come to me when you are in pain."
They were eating in the inn, while Lu Feiyue and the others went to the main storyline.
Earlier, Lu Feiyue received a secret letter from the Inspection Division. The Zheng family in Cangzhou was a royal businessman. The Inspection Division suspected that they were involved in a corruption case and wanted Lu Feiyue to search for some evidence.
But the Zheng family was so on guard because of the illness of the second son of Zheng, and could not sneak in as the following person, but it happened that the Zheng family was recruiting the second son recently, and wanted Lu Feiyue to seize this opportunity.
Two figures, one black and one green, came to the door, but they were separated from each other. They folded their arms and looked gloomy. The people who came were Lu Feiyue and Jiang Nian.
They sat on the stool without saying a word, and carried their bowls to eat on their own, without any communication between them.
This table is by the window of the inn, and on the windowsill there are two cages of domestic sparrows, chirping and chirping, which is really cute.
This is specially fed to make guests happy.
Lu Zhiyao didn't seem to notice the silence. He was teasing with a bunch of red fruits, listening to the chirping of birds moving up and down to eat the fruits.
The atmosphere was too depressed, Li Ruoshui put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Feiyue: "Sister Lu, what's wrong with you?"
If she guessed correctly, Jiang Nian probably saw Lu Feiyue's mission.
The mission this time was an unannounced visit, and Lu Feiyue was required to marry him in the Zheng Mansion when he was recruiting relatives, to go deep into the enemy's situation and find out the truth.
Jiang Nian's face was expressionless, and he didn't laugh like he used to. He raised his head and asked Li Ruoshui.
"I ask you, if your boss asks you to marry into an unannounced visit, would you like it?"
Although the question seems to be mindless, Li Ruoshui understands what he means.
"It depends on the situation, but generally not."
Li Ruoshui is not as straight as Lu Feiyue, she will probably try to get rid of this kind of tricky secret order.
But the original setting is just because the plot is too slow, and I want to give the male and female protagonists some stimulation.
Hearing her answer, Jiang Nian seemed to have found reinforcements, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"This is what a normal woman thinks."
Li Ruo was silent, there was a reason why Jiang Nian couldn't catch up with Lu Feiyue for so long.
Who would compare someone they like with others in person, and say that you are not as good as hers?
Lu Feiyue's face was cold, her lips were tightly pursed, and her words were a little colder.
"I'm Ju Kuai, the patrol officer, and it's my duty to obey orders, Ruo Shui, do you think I'm abnormal?"
"Sister Lu is daring to take responsibility... Lu Zhiyao can't feed birds, I'll go take a look."
When a couple quarrels, it is best for idlers to stay away.
Li Ruoshui immediately put down the tableware and went to the window, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.
Sensing that Li Ruoshui was coming too, Lu Zhiyao raised a smile, and the Hongguo in his hand shook at her.
"This is very sweet, would you like to try it?"
Li Ruoshui pressed his hand and moved to the bird cage: "I'm full, you should feed the birds."
Lu Zhiyao laughed, his black hair was blown behind him by the breeze, revealing his jade-like face, no other embellishments were needed, just the curled lips were enough to make people fall.
Li Ruoshui looked at him with his chin propped up. Even though he knew his nature, he couldn't help but be fascinated by this face.
Feeling the gaze beside him, Lu Zhiyao's smile gradually deepened, but at a certain moment it faded, and the corners of his curved lips became a little flat.
He stretched out his hand to pick a red fruit, flipped his wrist and knocked out the red fruit.
What made Lu Zhiyao look like this, he even stopped smirking, and his curiosity suddenly surged, Li Ruoshui stretched out half of his body to look, but found nothing.
"Ruoshui, the Zheng family will have a martial arts competition later. I'm going to participate. Are you going to stay here or go see them together?"
Lu Feiyue's voice could still hear some breathy sounds, she stood up with her knife in her hands, and stopped looking at Jiang Nian.
Li Ruoshui pondered for a while and nodded.
"go with."
Lu Zhiyao had never been interested in these things, but nodded, and Jiang Nian was angry, but the others followed when they left.
The arena where Zheng's house was recruiting relatives was placed at the entrance of the restaurant, apparently it was wrapped up here.
On the second floor of the restaurant sat two graceful old men and a woman in a lake blue gauze skirt. They were looking at the ring in silence, their expressions solemn and serious.
A few pieces of red silk were hung randomly on the ring, without any festive atmosphere. It was not like recruiting relatives, but like recruiting bodyguards.
Logically speaking, there should be very few people participating in this form of recruiting relatives, but because it is the wealthy Zheng Mansion, there are more than a dozen people doing warm-up preparations on the side.
Compared to the taciturnity of the people in Zheng Mansion, the crowd watching the theater was extremely lively. The third floor outside the Baoderi, and even the nearby restaurant was full of people.
Some people eat melon seeds, some eat melons and fruits, and they discussed loudly around the ring together.
Lu Feiyue and Jiang Nian went to sign up, while Li Ruoshui and Lu Zhizhi were still struggling in the crowd.
Lu Zhizhi couldn't see him, so Li Ruoshui pulled his wrist tightly and rushed forward, but he had no choice but to hug his waist.
"Be patient, and you'll be in front soon."
Lu Zhiyao looked thin, but he didn't expect that his waist was thin and strong, and he felt very good when he held it.
"You seem to be afraid that I will lose control?"
Li Ruoshui couldn't help but grabbed his waist and held his right wrist without knowing it, to some extent he was indeed restraining him.
"As long as you know."
Lu Zhiyao sipped a smile, didn't answer, let her drag her forward.
Speaking of which, he hasn't used a blind stick for a long time.
After Li Ruoshui answered in a perfunctory manner, he vigorously led him forward, and by the time he rushed to the front row, his hair was messed up a lot.
The Zheng Mansion's martial arts competition is a one-on-one round battle, and the winner is the winner this time, who will marry into the Zheng Mansion three days later.
There are already women in the arena fighting each other. The tricks are fierce, but they will not hurt the key points. It is more like a martial arts discussion.
"Knowing martial arts looks really cool."
Li Ruoshui couldn't help muttering to himself, feeling that his sister is so handsome.
"Do you want to learn martial arts?"
Lu Zhiyao seemed to have heard something interesting, and the smile on the corner of his lips seemed a little sincere.
"I thought about it."
"How can I teach you?"
His mind completely turned to Li Ruoshui. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his smile became more and more gentle.
Although she wanted to refuse seeing this smile, she still nodded: "Okay, let's find time."
This is the case with the Raiders, even if you don't want to, but if it can promote emotional development, you have to nod if you don't want to.
What's more, she is not so reluctant. As the ceiling of the book's martial arts, she will definitely learn a lot by practicing with him, and maybe she will become a master one day.
"Find time?"
Lu Zhiyao tilted his head to face her, his black hair slowly slid in front of him, a streamer flashed across his long eyelashes, and the smile on his lips became more sincere.
He put the sword in her hand without hesitation.
"When you go to the arena to compete, you can teach it right away. You can practice the fastest in actual combat."
