Chapter 20-Concubine Unknown (3)
Chapter 20-Concubine Unknown (3)
After a while, he heard a few maidservants in Madam Liu's room carrying Liu Jin Yuan's clothes as they passed by. One of them said,""I also think that Young Madam is a little strange, but…Young Madam is absolutely sincere to Young Master.”
"Yes, I think Young Master's body is much better than before. How could he be harmed?”
"Young Madam is so pitiful. How could she be a monster?" Another maidservant said. Young Master must have been too sick to see correctly…"
"Do you think Young Master will divorce Young Madam?”
As they walked through the corridor, they didn't notice Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru in the courtyard.
If a gentle and lovely woman like Caiyi was actually a monster, it was really heartbreaking. Lin Yueru was in a bad mood. She stepped on the wall lightly and walked like a cat. Li Xiaoyao walked along the wall and looked up at her,""You like to climb high?"
"When I'm in a bad mood, I like to walk on high ground," Lin Yueru said.”
"Why?"
"There's no reason."
"Then can I go up?"
"Your legs are on your body.”
Li Xiaoyao also jumped onto the wall. The Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, so the wall was much higher than ordinary houses. Looking at the capital from such a high wall, it would indeed make one feel a little better.
"It's indeed a good way to relax." Li Xiaoyao laughed.”
Lin Yueru didn't reply. She walked quickly for a while before turning around and saying to Li Xiaoyao,""Let me ask you, if little sister Ling 'er is like Miss Cai Yi and is not a mortal, what will you do?”
Li Xiaoyao was stunned." Ling 'er is definitely not a bad person or a monster. I believe her."”
"Do you think you can just do whatever you want?" Lin Yueru asked. I also don't believe that Sister-in-law Caiyi is a demon!”
Li Xiaoyao said," Don't let your imagination run wild. If she isn't, then inviting the state preceptor to perform a ritual won't hurt her, right?"”
"What if it is?"
Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and said,""Then I can only be accepted…"
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yueru said angrily. Could it be that demons would not treat others sincerely? She was good to Brother Liu, so why should she be hurt?”
"How would I know if you ask me?" Li Xiaoyao asked. Why don't you ask her yourself?"
At this moment, a fragrant wind drifted over. Li Xiaoyao detected Caiyi's aura and immediately rushed over with the wind. Li Xiaoyao was a step faster than Caiyi, blocking the small building in the back garden.
Caiyi landed on the ground and was about to enter. When she saw Li Xiaoyao, she was shocked."Ah!"
"Miss Caiyi, your qinggong is very good."”
Caiyi's face turned red and white, and she didn't know how to answer. Li Xiaoyao saw a rattan basket hanging on her wrist. The basket was filled with flowers and plants, emitting waves of fragrance. Not only was her clothes a little dirty, but they were also torn in some places. She looked a little disheveled. However, the beauty's coarse clothes and messy hair did not hide her national beauty.
Lin Yueru had already arrived. When she saw Li Xiaoyao and Caiyi confronting each other, she said,""Sister-in-law Caiyi, it's so late, where are you going?”
Caiyi turned around to look at Lin Yueru and then at Li Xiaoyao. She knew that they had noticed her whereabouts, so she could only confess,""I'll go outside to find the herbs that husband needs.”
" There are herbs nearby that can cure Cousin," Lin Yueru said." Why didn't you tell the imperial physicians and let them pick them?" This way, a woman like you won't have to go out late at night and cause more trouble.”
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Miss Lin."”
" Where can I pick these herbs?" Lin Yueru asked." Tell me, I'll get someone to pick them!"”
"This…this won't do…" Caiyi said with a troubled expression.
Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other. Lin Yueru asked,"" Why not?!"
"Because there are many poisonous spiders in the forest with herbs, and some flowers are poisonous." Those who didn't know would probably die if they accidentally barged in…”
"Then how did you enter the forest alone without being injured?”Li Xiao Yao asked.
Caiyi was a little panicked and asked,"I'm sorry, my husband is waiting for me to brew medicine for him.”
Caiyi walked past Li Xiaoyao and was about to enter the small building. "You don't need to brew medicine for him!" Lin Yueru said.”
Caiyi looked back at Lin Yueru in confusion.
Lin Yueru hardened her heart and said," Cousin isn't in the small building. He has already gone to tell Aunt Yun and moved his bed to Aunt Yun's room."”
Caiyi's face was pale. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and slowly walked into the building. That figure seemed heavy and lonely, making people feel very sorry for him.
"Do you know that Aunt Yun has invited the Imperial Advisor of Shangguo Temple to perform the ritual?" Lin Yueru asked.”
Caiyi didn't respond, but her back seemed even thinner. She sighed softly.
"Why didn't you tell me who you are?" Lin Yueru asked loudly. You…if you leave now, there's still time…"
"I can't leave. My husband hasn't recovered yet." Caiyi said gently.”
"But the state preceptor of Shangguo Temple is coming soon…"
"Let him do it."
Caiyi entered the small building without looking back. Li Xiaoyao looked at Caiyi's back and felt unspeakable sorrow.
"Why isn't she leaving?" Lin Yueru stomped her foot.”
"She must have her reasons for not leaving. Let nature take its course!" Li Xiaoyao said.”
Looking inside through the window, Caiyi was indeed calmly arranging the flowers and herbs, preparing to boil the medicine. Her movements were elegant, and there was no sign of panic or nervousness at all.
If he hadn't seen her enter the Poisonous Immortal Forest with his own eyes and couldn't explain the reason, Li Xiao Yao wouldn't have imagined that she might have ulterior motives.
Not long after, a dozen Taoist priests and servants entered the Minister's Mansion in a single file.
The minister's wife personally went to the front yard to welcome him. From the most gorgeous sedan chair, a Taoist priest with sharp eyes and so thin that he looked like he would be blown away by the wind walked out.
In front of him, there were two guardians holding peach willows. They dipped the peach branches and willow branches in water and sprinkled them on the path that the Imperial Advisor was about to walk on.
"I, Xin Nv, pay my respects to the Imperial Advisor."”
The Abbey Dean of Shangguo Temple was appointed by the Emperor to protect the country. It was said that all his prayers for rain and sunshine came true. He often offered elixirs to make the Emperor's body grow strong and immortal. His magic power was strong enough to protect the court. Therefore, he did not meet any ordinary people at all and only accepted the invitations of noble relatives and famous families.
"Madam, please excuse the formalities. I heard that your son was possessed by an evil spirit?"”
"Yes, please save my son, Imperial Preceptor!"”
The Imperial Advisor waved his horsetail whisk, which had the charm of a fairy fluttering in the wind. He said,""Today, the holy grace is shining, and there are actually evil spirits who openly barged into the Minister's residence to do evil. It's really enough to scare the ears of this dynasty! Let me see your son's complexion first!”
"Yuan Er is unconscious again. Please follow me."”
Lin Yu 'eru was not pleased with the state preceptor's patriotic tone, and she was also a little suspicious of his mana.
A large number of attendants followed outside the back hall, so it was inconvenient for them to enter. Only Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and the Imperial Advisor were allowed to enter with the Minister's wife.
In the room, Liu Jin Yuan was sleeping soundly. Li Xiao Yao was shocked when he saw his complexion. He was much more haggard than before. In just a few hours, he could make people so pale?
The Imperial Advisor glanced at Liu Jin Yuan and said solemnly,""Hmm, Young Master's eyes are blue, his meridians are swollen, and there's a purple-black mist between his eyebrows.”
"Voodoo poison?" The minister's wife asked in surprise.
The Imperial Advisor said," This voodoo is a curse combined with a poisonous insect. It is applied to a human body. Only highly skilled Miao shamans or monsters transformed from poisonous animals can use this kind of sorcery."”
"Is there a solution to this?" asked the Minister's wife anxiously.”
"This poison is very evil," the Imperial Advisor said."Usually, only the person who used it can cure it."”
"How…how did this happen?" asked the Minister's wife. Can my son still be saved?"
"I can't be sure," the Imperial Advisor said. Moreover, there was more than one poison in your son's body.”
"What?"
"There is another unknown poison in his body. Even if the poison did not take effect, within seven days, he would have died from exhaustion. This unknown poison was neither strong nor weak, and it just happened to suppress the poison of the witchcraft spell.”
"Then…how long will it take? It's not good to not die like this…"
The Imperial Advisor counted with his fingers and said," These two poisons won't take effect for a short period of time. However, now that the witchcraft spell is strong and the poison is weak, it is already very dangerous." According to his pulse, he had been poisoned for at least a month. How could he have held on until now?”
"It was all because my wife brewed the prescription and gave it to Yuan 'er that he managed to survive until today," said the Minister's wife.”
"Oh?" The Imperial Advisor twirled his beard and pondered for a moment before saying,""There is something fishy about this matter. I wonder if it is convenient for me to go to Young Master's residence to investigate?”
"Of course, please, State Preceptor."
The minister's wife was worried and afraid, so everyone went to the small snow-white building in the backyard. Once they reached the Peony Court, the state preceptor's face darkened."The season is not yet here, but this flower blooms strangely! Madam, how long have these flowers been planted?”
" This... this is my wife's. It hasn't been long..."
The Imperial Advisor sneered and strode into the building. Caiyi was long gone. Lin Yueru secretly hoped that she had escaped. But when she looked inside, the herbs she had picked were not there.
The Imperial Advisor only looked at it once with his sharp eyes and said,""What a strong demonic aura! The demon must be nearby and not far away.”
Even the state preceptor had said so. The minister's wife felt heartache for Caiyi and was puzzled. However, the most important thing was her only son. The minister's wife said,"State Preceptor, please think of a way to save this line of incense in my family.”
"Madam, please be at ease," the Imperial Advisor said."I already knew about this battle, so I came prepared."”
He immediately ordered the dozen Taoist priests and servants to set up the Heaven Connecting Altar in the backyard. They placed all kinds of magic tools and items. In an instant, everything was ready. A large altar was erected in the elegant courtyard, and a cauldron was lit up. It immediately became a court of rites.
The sky was already slightly bright. The Imperial Advisor let his hair down, burned paper, raised his sword, and wrote a blood talisman. He then went up to the altar, took the talisman, and said loudly,""Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, listen to my command…Ah?”
The talisman in his hand ignited without fire, and he hurriedly let go of it.
The people below the altar did not understand the reason. When they saw the talisman in the Imperial Advisor's hand burn automatically, they thought that the Imperial Advisor's magic power was strong and all praised in low voices.
The Imperial Advisor knew that the other party's magic power was not weak and was not something that the small demon spirits he had encountered before could compare to. He could not help but feel guilty. To be honest, he didn't know how to pray for rain and sunshine, but he knew how to look at the clouds and know the changes in the weather. Therefore, he could set up an altar in advance and wait for rain. As for the Immortality Pill, only the Emperor knew that it was actually an aphrodisiac. In terms of refining Yin and Yang Pills, he was an expert without a doubt. It was also because he had extraordinary skills in the art of Qihuang that he could see Liu Jin Yuan's illness more clearly than others.
The Imperial Tutor had never seen such a demon with real magic power. For a moment, he became a little nervous, and the hand holding the copper bell trembled a little.
The Minister's wife, the steward, and the servants all looked at him nervously. Many of them even put their palms together and prayed sincerely for Liu Jinyuan.
The Imperial Advisor chanted the incantation while shaking the copper bell. He shouted and sprayed the talisman water on another piece of yellow paper."Heavenly Master Vajra Demon Subduing Talisman!"
The talisman paper suddenly burned again, and he hurriedly shook it off.
At this moment, the people below the altar saw the state preceptor's panicked look and could not help but feel a little strange.
"How dare you play tricks on me!" The Imperial Advisor said angrily. Hurry up and show yourself!"
The state preceptor grabbed the wooden sword and slashed it into the air. The thick smoke from the furnace in front of him gradually intensified. The state preceptor shouted,"Don't blame me for showing my true ability! Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, hurry up and order the heavenly troops and generals to arrive!”
The white smoke from the pill furnace in front of him suddenly transformed into a tiger and charged at the Imperial Advisor!
"Wow!" Shocked, the national master staggered back a few steps and rolled off the altar.
"State Preceptor!" "Master!"
The Taoist priests, disciples, and servants shouted. They rushed forward like ants and soldiers, catching the falling state preceptor in time.
"Monster…Monster…"
The Imperial Advisor's face was deathly pale. When he was put down, he could not stand steadily. His legs were weak, and he had to support his disciple to stand up with difficulty.
"State Preceptor, are you alright?”
"I'm fine, I'm fine…"
"That monster…?"
The Imperial Advisor was so frightened that he trembled and panted. After a while, he said,""This…this evil demon is definitely not ordinary. I set up the altar in a hurry today and didn't prepare any magic tools. Madam, you should choose an auspicious day and set up a new altar to eliminate the demon!”
"Is the time wrong today?" the minister's wife asked. Master Zhou, when is a good day?”
Zhou Zhangshi didn't even think and said,""Furen, I remember that the day after tomorrow at noon, Yang qi will be extremely strong.”
"Then please, Imperial Preceptor, at noon the day after tomorrow…" the Minister's wife said.
"No, no," the Imperial Tutor hurriedly said,"Prince Hao's residence has already decided to have me perform the ritual on that day."”
"The day after tomorrow is still a good day…" Zhou Zhangshi said.
"The day after tomorrow, I will enter the palace to host the temple ceremony for the niangniang. Once I enter the palace, it will take eight to ten days.”
" This…" The Minister's wife said worriedly,""How long can our Yuan Er last in this situation?”
The Imperial Tutor said," In my opinion, in less than seven days…Hmm, I really can't be in two places at once. Madam, why don't you find someone else?!" Withdraw the altar!"
With a command, the disciples and servants went forward to put away the tools and remove the altar. The national master also entered the sedan chair as if he was escaping, without waiting for the servants to sprinkle peach and willow dew for him. The minister's wife was still anxiously begging the state preceptor. The state preceptor was either trying to change the topic or comforting her with some general words like " life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven ".
The minister's wife watched helplessly as the Imperial Advisor's convoy left, her heart burning with anxiety.
"What should we do? What should he do? If anything happens to Yuan Er, how am I going to explain to the Liu Clan's ancestors…"
Seeing the Minister's wife grieving, Lin Yueru said,""Aunt Yun, don't be sad. I think the state preceptor is just a liar! Begging him is useless."
"Sigh, let's go see Yuan 'er.”
The minister's wife could not listen to anything at this time and could only shed tears. Everyone followed her into the room and looked at the unconscious Liu Jin Yuan. No one could bear to see him rapidly losing weight.
Li Xiaoyao walked out of the room. Lin Yueru followed him and said,""Where are you going?"
"What's the point of playing tricks like this?" Li Xiaoyao asked. Why don't we bring Miss Caiyi to a place where no one is around and ask her why? If she really has unspeakable difficulties, we won't leak them out.”
"Yes, she must explain it clearly!"
Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao walked side by side to the backyard. At this moment, a faint fragrance wafted over from somewhere.
Lin Yueru's body suddenly went limp and she leaned against Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao said,""Yueru, what's wrong?"
" My…my eyes are so heavy," Lin Yueru said weakly." This smell…"
Li Xiaoyao took a whiff and only felt the fragrance of the flowers, but he didn't feel anything strange. Lin Yueru, who was leaning against him, had already fallen asleep.
"This is the fragrance of peony flowers. Why did it suddenly become so strong?”
When Li Xiaoyao saw the same silver dot flying over, he knew that something was wrong. He quickly covered Lin Yueru's mouth and nose, hugged her body, and jumped to a higher place, running out of the Minister's Mansion.
Lin Yueru woke up slightly from the shock of the air outside the manor. She slowly opened her eyes, still a little groggy.
"What…what happened to me?"
"The fragrance was a little strange just now," Li Xiaoyao said.”
"Could it be that demons are causing trouble?" " Damn it!" Lin Yueru got up and said," What is she planning?"”
As he was about to rush in, Li Xiao Yao stopped him."If we go in now, we might fall asleep again. We'd better stay here and not let the demons escape.”
"But what if the demon killed Aunt Yun and Brother Jinyuan…"
It was impossible for the two of them to defend such a large Minister's Residence. Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said,""That bewitching fragrance doesn't seem to be effective on me. Why don't I go in and take a look?”
"Be careful." Lin Yueru nodded.”
Li Xiaoyao flew into the courtyard and saw the servants and maids on the path sitting upside down as if they were asleep. He couldn't help but be shocked. He casually tested the auras of a few people. They were stable and normal. However, in the usually orderly residence, there were actually people sleeping everywhere. This scene was really strange.
Li Xiaoyao walked into the residence of the Minister's wife. The servants and butlers were still lying down everywhere. Aunt Yun was also leaning against a golden pillow and sleeping soundly. And in the bed curtain, Liu Jinyuan has disappeared.
Li Xiaoyao knew that something was wrong and quickly ran out. He jumped over the wall and said to Lin Yueru,""Sure enough, everyone is asleep. Brother Jin Yuan's whereabouts are unknown.”
"What?" Lin Yueru asked. How did this happen?"
Li Xiaoyao said," They must have been hit by some kind of spell. I can't wake them up no matter how hard I try."”
"What should we do?" Lin Yueru asked anxiously. Big Brother Li, do you have any ideas?"
"This…"
Li Xiaoyao was also helpless. He turned his head and looked around. There was a canal wrapped around the wall outside the Minister's Mansion. The water was turbulent, and it shone with the light of fish scales under the rising sun. The two of them walked along the canal and thought about what to do. They heard the guard at the side door say,"What's the wind blowing today? The fragrance of the peonies in the backyard could actually be smelled here?”
" Mmm, it smells so good. Only that peerless young madam could cultivate such fragrant flowers…"
The guards on duty did not know what had happened inside, which made Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru feel a little helpless.
At this moment, a sharp child's cry sounded from the other side of the river." There's a dead person, there's a dead person!"
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru quickly ran towards the source of the sound. They were afraid that Liu Jinyuan had been killed. They ran to the place where the cry came from. The guards were already at the bank. Two or three children pointed at the canal and shouted,
"Dead people, floating corpses, floating corpses!”
"It must be another drunk man who fell into the canal and drowned," the guard said.”
Li Xiaoyao stuck his head out and looked over. In the water, the figure was floating and sinking. On his back was a sword that was slightly larger than usual. He was wearing a Taoist robe, and the smell of alcohol was soaring. It almost dyed the canal into a wine pool.
"What a stinky smell of alcohol!" Lin Yueru covered her nose and said.”
No matter how Li Xiaoyao looked at the back of the floating corpse, he felt that it looked familiar.
Li Xiaoyao said," It's too pitiful to soak in the water like this. Let's get him out!"”
" But it's so smelly…" Lin Yueru was in a dilemma.
Li Xiaoyao laughed and jumped into the middle of the river. He grabbed the collar of the floating corpse and jumped onto the river bank.
Li Xiaoyao placed the corpse on the ground. Lin Yueru didn't dare to look at it and turned her face away. However, Li Xiaoyao clearly saw that the face of the "floating corpse" was not swollen or pale. Instead, it was full of energy and was glowing.
The 'corpse' suddenly sat up, scaring the children into screaming and running away.""Wow, a ghost!"
"Mommy, there's a ghost…!"
The guard was also dumbfounded, standing at the side and watching.
After the corpse sat up, it stretched out its arms."Heh ~'Little River Spring has slept enough, the sun outside the window is late!'”
"He…he is?" Lin Yueru was stunned.”
Li Xiaoyao said unhappily," He's either scaring a child or ambushing me. He's really an amazing expert."”
"Why am I all wet?" The Liquor Sword Immortal looked around and asked. Eh, where is this?"
"Master, are you still drunk?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
"Why is it you again?" The Liquor Sword Immortal turned to Li Xiaoyao and asked.”
"Master!" Li Xiaoyao laughed. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?”
When Lin Yueru heard Li Xiaoyao address him like this, she knew that he was the famous Liquor Sword Immortal of the Shu Mountain Sect.
"Who's your master?" the Liquor Sword Immortal asked. As I said before, you and I are not fated to be master and disciple. I only want to compensate you with a jug of wine and teach you a set of sword techniques. I, the Wine Sword Immortal, never accept disciples.”
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. In my heart, you are like my master." Even though I'm a little reluctant to call you that…"
"Is calling me master an insult to you?”
Li Xiaoyao said," That's not the case. However, being fished out of the river as a corpse is a bit of a way to make an appearance."”
"I didn't pretend to be a Flowing Water Corpse on purpose!" The Liquor Sword Immortal grunted.”
"Then why were you in the river?"
"I don't know either," the Liquor Sword Immortal said."Um…ha! I remember now. I was probably thrown in to drown when I wasn't paying attention.”
"What?" Li Xiaoyao asked. What kind of deep hatred do you have with him?”
"This is an irreconcilable hatred. He can't be blamed!" The Liquor Sword Immortal sighed.”
"This…you killed his family?”
"It's even more serious than this. I drank all of the best willow forest phoenix wine he had hidden.”
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were stunned. They felt like they had been played.
"What kind of deep hatred is it if you drink all the wine?" Li Xiaoyao asked. Are you kidding me?"
"I never joke about wine!" the Liquor Sword Immortal said.”
"Oh, oh." Li Xiaoyao was speechless.
The Liquor Sword Immortal said," Look at you. You can't bring a dead person back to life. Even if you drink all the wine, you can't bring him back to life. Is the revenge of drinking all the wine less than killing your loved ones?"”
Li Xiaoyao said," If the wine is finished, there will be more if we brew it again. Can't the dead come back to life?" What kind of bullsh * t logic is this!"
The Wine Sword Immortal sighed." You still haven't improved at all. Drink up the wine and then brew again. This is really what laymen say. With the difference in water quality and grain quality, the things brewed will be completely different. The phoenix wine that I drank was made thirteen years ago. Back then, there was a bumper harvest. Barley and peas were so beautiful that it was a once-in-a-thousand-year harvest. In addition, it was a cold winter. The snow on Mount Taibai had just melted and flowed into the Great Taibai Ice Lake. The water in this lake was sweet and clear, and it was the most suitable for brewing wine. Originally, it was only used in the palace, and it was the so-called 'Jun Fei's happy life and longevity wine'. Alas, that extraordinary wine master used the top-grade wheat beans and the water of this lake to brew a jar of peerless phoenix wine. It really has all five flavors: sour but not astringent, sweet but not greasy, bitter but not sticky, spicy but not piercing, fragrant but not pungent. These five flavors are so harmonious. It's really a marvelous creation. It's sweet and smooth when it enters the mouth, and the aftertaste is clean and elegant after it goes down the throat. It also has a mellow olive taste, which will become more fragrant after a long time…"
He was almost drooling as he reminisced.
"That's still not to the extent of killing!" Li Xiaoyao said.”
"Who said it wasn't enough to kill? Haven't you heard that there's no greater sorrow than a dead heart? In these ten years, he only considered birthdays and important events. I drank the remaining two-thirds in one go. He cried and said that he originally estimated that after the wine was finished, he still had 30 years to live, so he had to calculate the amount he drank every time. He had to finish the last sip before he died. Now that I had finished it, his remaining life was meaningless. Sigh! I'm really too selfish…"
" A few months ago, my wine cellar was robbed," Lin Yueru said coldly." All the good wine was stolen. It must be you who came to visit."”
The Liquor Sword Immortal was stunned for a moment before he chuckled and said,""Disciple, Master is still drunk. Goodbye…"
He turned around and was about to slip away when Li Xiao Yao strode forward and grabbed his collar."Wait, a life for a life, a debt for a debt. The owner is here, so you have to confront each other. Master, don't blame me for putting justice above family!”
"You're quite eloquent!" the Liquor Sword Immortal said. Her family was the one who lost the wine, not you!”
"Then you should ask him how he plans to deal with it."”
The Liquor Sword Immortal said," Miss Lin, if you can beat me up, I'll pretend to slip up and be kicked into the river. Alas, I'll be gone with the waves. All my grudges will be washed away. What do you say?"”
Lin Yueru said," Well…it's not fair to win. I don't want to do such a losing business. Why don't you enter the Minister's Mansion and help my uncle get rid of the demon? How about that?"”
"Exterminate demons?" the Liquor Sword Immortal asked. This…Eh, this is my senior brother's favorite thing to do. I don't dare to take advantage of him. Besides, I hate being forced to do things the most…"
"Dew, osmanthus…" Lin Yueru mumbled.
"What are you talking about?" The Liquor Sword Immortal's ears perked up.
"Do you think the Minister's Mansion has this wine bestowed by the Emperor?" Lin Yueru asked.”
The Wine Sword Immortal nodded vigorously." This wine is only given by the Emperor. Mortals don't have it. Your uncle likes it very much. There should be a lot."”
Lin Yueru smiled and said," That's right. Every Zhonghe Festival, Uncle will treat us to a small feast with the dew paste and osmanthus paste that the Emperor gave us. This sweet wine is not wine, but better than wine. It's accompanied by roasted whole lamb, ham stewed with pork knuckles, and roasted meat bones. The taste is really great! You only know how to drink and swallow, how can you get the true taste of wine? Good wine is not to be drunk alone, and good food is not to be eaten alone. They must complement each other in order to achieve the best situation. You always drink secretly and can't bring some dishes suitable for wine. Isn't it a waste?”
The Liquor Sword Immortal nodded with every word she said. In the end, he simply nodded like pounding garlic and said,"Yes, you're absolutely right! However, good wine is hard to find, and good chefs are even harder to come by. I can't sneak into someone's wine cellar with a chef. Even if I bring the chef in, I can't cook in the wine cellar. Sigh, this is really the biggest regret in my life!”
Lin Yueru said," Although my uncle's chef is not the best in the world, he grew up in the two capitals. He is best at cooking delicacies such as phoenix wine, Taibai wine, and thick wine. You can enjoy the delicacies immediately and enjoy them to your heart's content."”
"Really?" the Liquor Sword Immortal asked. You tricked me into going in to get rid of the demon. I won't fall for it!”
"Who lied to you? You're Brother Xiaoyao's master. What's the big deal about eating me? However, in the Minister's residence, from the madam to the kitchen servants, everyone has been knocked out by the demon. You can't eat it even if you want to!”
The Wine Sword Immortal knew that this was forcing him to get rid of the demon, but the moment he woke up, the Liquor worm was causing trouble. There was also delicious food to enjoy, which enhanced the wine. Even if he knew that it was a trap, he had to jump into it himself.
" Alright, alright," the Liquor Sword Immortal said." Let's go in and see who's causing trouble!"”
"Please!" Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed.
