Chapter 320 Day Cruise
The news that Zuo Chen was leaving Kyoto soon spread to the ears of those who knew him well.
Many people came to visit Zuo Chen and bid farewell to Zuo Chen. Among them, those who were not familiar with Zuo Chen and came just for opportunism were turned away by Yan Wangsheng. However, Eunuch Bao and General Zhou were able to see him as they wished. Zuo Chen, exchanged a few words.
In the palace that night, Li Rongxuan, who had been busy lately, also found time to host a banquet for Zuo Chen.
And this banquet is not a large-scale state banquet, but more like the Li family entertaining Zuo Chen as a family.
The banquet was held in the back garden of the palace. It was the beginning of summer and the weather was getting hotter. Only the evening wind could bring some comfort.
The dishes placed on the stone table are all carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen, but they are not luxury items. Most of them are delicacies that can be found in restaurants.
On one side of the stone table were Li Rongxuan and his two uncles, while on the other side were Zuo Chen and others who were about to leave Kyoto.
As for the guards, they were all driven to the Imperial Garden to guard the gate.
Jin Feng Yuyue and the pair of little babies were also brought. They were quite polite, sitting in their seats in a well-behaved manner and not messing around.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Rongxuan stood up first and toasted in the direction of Zuo Chen:
"Thanks to the Taoist Priest for this time, if the Taoist Priest hadn't gone to Kyoto to deal with the thief, I'm afraid Daliang would have been in his hands long ago. The puppets are heading towards the hopeless cliff."
Li Ji and Li Yu also stood up together, raised their glasses and drank in the direction of Zuo Chen, and bowed deeply.
"I'm here for dinner tonight, and you guys are putting pressure on me."
Zuo Chen said half-jokingly, and the three people in front of him just lost their initial enthusiasm. With a serious look on his face, he smiled and sat back down.
"Let's eat first, the food will get cold soon."
Under Li Ji's greeting, everyone started to use their chopsticks, and spent the evening's banquet talking and laughing.
Li Rongxuan asked Zuo Chen a few questions about where he planned to go, and Zuo Chen briefly explained his plan. Li Rongxuan originally wanted to send an army to accompany him, but Zuo Chen waved his hand and refused.
This team of theirs has become a drag with the army. Apart from having a strong posture, it really has no effect.
So Li Rongxuan thought for a moment and handed Zuo Chen a token. It was made of gold, with Emperor written on the front and Li written on the back. It was the token of the Daliang royal family, and it belonged to the emperor when he got it. .
This thing can save Zuo Chen a lot of meaningless chores.
Zuo Chen did not refuse the kindness and accepted it.
At the wine table, when Li Ji first started talking to Li Yu about world affairs, how his newly appointed officials should do things, and how to deal with the sea of suffering; after drinking, he began to recall himself When he was young, he recalled the fights he had on the front line when the ghost disaster occurred; at the end, he even shed a lot of tears, saying that he had finally seen the light after so many years of perseverance.
Zuo Chen glanced at Li Ji, who had drank several glasses of wine.
Well, the strong liquor in the cellar looks like there is still a little energy lingering in it. It should be a good wine from the royal collection. Li Ji drank several more glasses and drank so much that he broke the wine.
Li Yu had no choice but to call in soldiers to move his unlucky brother out, leaving Li Rongxuan smiling bitterly.
After eating and drinking, Zuo Chen was looking up at the moon in the back garden, as if he was remembering something.
Li Rongxuan also drank two glasses of wine. His face was slightly red, but he obviously didn't drink too much.
He walked to Zuo Chen and said:
"Taoist Master."
"Huh?"
"Will Daliang get better."
"Yes."
"Those past immortals..."
" They are already dead in the past, let them sleep in the past forever.”
After hearing Zuo Chen's words, Li Rongxuan seemed to finally feel relieved and nodded heavily:
"Yes."
......
The next morning, the palace At the door, Mr. Donkey had already placed the boat on the stone road, holding the bamboo pole with his left hand, waiting for a few people to get on the boat.
This boat Zuo Chen has slightly modified it. A shed has been added to the middle part to block the sun and store some things. It is considered elegant.
As he was packing his luggage to board the ship, Zuo Chen suddenly saw a figure walking not far away. When he looked closely, he saw that it was Li Yaojiu.
She was wearing smart clothes suitable for walking and carrying a small luggage. When she came to Zuo Chen, her face had no expression.
Zuo Chen could tell that the girl was hesitant to speak. She obviously wanted to say something to him, but it seemed that she was afraid of society, so her face was red and she couldn't even squeeze out a word.
“What are you talking about?” Zhu Laoba’s head popped up on the boat and he looked anxious: “Didn’t we agree that you would come and ask the Taoist priest to go together?”< br>
Zuo Chen looked at Zhu Laoba with extremely surprised eyes. Among the newly recruited disciples, Li Yaojiu is the one with the least presence. After she got the skills, she practiced steadily and steadily, and because the Taoist practice was indeed advanced enough, she didn't need to worry about most things. Zuo Chen can solve it by himself.
This also means that Zuo Chen really hasn't seen her much in the past three months.
However, Zuo Chen did hear that Zhu Laoba had no time to spar with this girl. At the beginning, Zhu Laoba relied on his rich fighting experience to win a few games from this girl. , and later he couldn't beat him, and he ran towards Li Yaojiu every day unconvinced.
Now it seems...
There is something slightly wrong with the relationship between these two people!
sure! Zhu Laoba!
Zhu Laoba also seemed to notice something was wrong with Zuo Chen’s eyes, and his old face suddenly turned red:
“Well, Taoist Priest, we are not related in that way, it’s just During this period of time, I was fighting with a big girl, and I felt that it was hard to find a suitable martial arts partner. I should accompany her when traveling, so I persuaded her to come and ask for help and let her come with me. ”
Li Yaojiu nodded quickly.
“I didn’t say that you two were related in that way.” Zuo Chen said.
Zhu Laoba's old face suddenly turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, let's get on the boat, there's still room on the boat."
Zuo Chen said with a smile.
A smile appeared on Li Yaojiu's expressionless face. She trotted to the side of the boat, boarded it, found a corner opposite Zhu Laoba, and sat down firmly. .
Seeing everyone on board the boat, Mr. Donkey shouted softly: "Set the boat!"
Just hold the boat and move forward slowly on the road, wandering in the distance.
Li Rongxuan waved goodbye and called:
"Bon voyage!"
The summer sun is scorching, the sky is clear, and it is a beautiful time all the way, straight into the distance.
……
Three days have passed since I left Kyoto.
After killing the nobles and the little boss Xiao Huanxi, the number of evil spirits wandering in Daliang has also decreased a lot.
At least during the boat trip, Zuo Chenquan did not encounter any troublemakers.
And the speed of this small boat was indeed several minutes faster than the original donkey cart. At full speed, it had already arrived near Xuzhou Pass.
Zuo Chen estimated that it would take at most one or two days to get to Xinchun City. Then he would talk to Xiao Changcheng and Monk Shanxin about the wheat and try to promote it to solve the problem of grain shortage in Daliang. question.
Today, Zuo Chen is on the boat teaching two little kids some magical methods of spiritual practice, while Zhu Laoba and Li Yaojiu are discussing "If the immortals in the past were in human form, then how can fists cause the greatest damage?"
On the bow of the boat, Caiyi took off his shoes and put his feet in the water that appeared out of thin air. He exclaimed and laughed from time to time.
When the two little kids started to study by themselves, Zuo Chen came close to Cai Yi, and Cai Yi asked:
"Taoist Master, where does this water come from?"
The liquid next to the boat does not look like it is rushing out, but more like a lake appearing out of thin air, with the boat as the center and following it within a three-foot radius.
The ground where it passes is not even wet, and you can clearly feel that it is water when you touch it with your hands.
“Our boat has some magic tricks of the ages. These are probably the water flows during that period.”
“Hey!” Cai Yi was shocked: “Is this boat so powerful?”< br>
“It’s really powerful.”
Hearing what Cai Yi and Zuo Chen said, the boat actually trembled slightly, as if they were proud of themselves.
This is a talent washed out in the long river of time, and others cannot get it even if they want to learn it.
But it’s just a small boat after all, so it’s good if it can do this.
Just when he was about to continue chatting, Zuo Chen suddenly felt the box in his arms tremble twice.
Someone gave him a message.
After the call was connected, Li Yu’s voice came from the other side.
"Prince Jing? What's the matter?"
"Oh, Taoist priest, something happened over there in Xuzhou."
"Ah?"
