Chapter 780 How do I look like a fugitive? (Two chapters in one)
Seeing Li Dingtian’s firm attitude, Li Qian stopped interceding for Li Mo.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I will start handling official business." Li Dingtian said.
Then, Li Qian left the study and walked towards her boudoir.
On the way, she met a servant who came over in a hurry.
"Miss."
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
The servant then explained the reason. When Li Qian heard this, her face suddenly showed joy, and then she quickened her pace and walked towards her boudoir. go.
After a while, Li Qian returned to her boudoir. At this moment, a maid was pouring tea for a figure sitting at the table.
"Cousin, you are here!" Zhu Xinru, who was wearing a white dress and had a gentle temperament, stood up and greeted Li Qian.
Li Qian looked at her cousin with a smile, then came to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, "It's rare that you come to me. What's the matter?"
Zhu Xinru opened the food box on the table. , took out a few plates of pastries, "I made some pastries and wanted you to taste them."
"So you asked me to taste the pastries!" Li Qian said with a big smile, and reached out to take out the pastries from the plate. A piece of green pastry took a bite.
The sweet taste bloomed between her lips and teeth, and Li Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Cousin, how does the mung bean cake I made taste?" Zhu Xinru asked.
"It's delicious. Your pastry making skills have improved again." Li Qian praised.
When Zhu Xinru has nothing to do during this time, she will ask the pastry chef at home for advice.
Unconsciously, her pastry-making skills have improved greatly.
After finishing the mung bean cake in her hand, Li Qian suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you."
Zhu Xinru asked with some confusion, "What? Things?”
"I met Lin Li on the road yesterday and chatted with him for a while..." Li Qian smiled and told Zhu Xinru what happened when she met Lin Li yesterday.
“So he is still in Dongwu City!” Zhu Xinru said to herself after hearing this.
"I told him that if I have time later, I will go to your house to hang out with you, and he agreed." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Eh?!!!" Zhu Xinru was stunned when she heard this, and then a happy smile appeared on her fair face.
Seeing the happy expression on Zhu Xinru's face, Li Qian became more sure of her thoughts, and then secretly figured out how to help her cousin.
.........
The sun in the sky was obscured by a large cloud floating in the distance, and a large shadow immediately appeared on the ground.
Lin Li walked out of a shop selling handicrafts, looked up at the large clouds moving slowly in the sky, and muttered to himself.
“The sky was clear just now, but in a short while, there were so many clouds in the sky...”
An old man with gray hair and carrying many candied haws on his shoulders came towards us. .
"Mom, I want to eat candied haws on a stick." A little boy couldn't walk after seeing the candied haws on a stick. He immediately stopped and pointed to the old man selling candied haws on a stick, acting coquettishly to his mother beside him.
After a while, many children surrounded the old man selling candied haws, and behind these children stood their parents.
Lin Li heard the laughter of children in the distance, and then looked back at the clouds in the sky.
"It's so popular! I'll buy a bunch to try too!"
A moment later.
Not to mention, the Dongwucheng candied haws of food tastes very good.
Lin Li continued to wander along the street while eating candied haws.
Suddenly, he saw many people gathering in an open field on the roadside.
If it were just ordinary people gathering, Lin Li would at most take a few glances and continue walking forward.
However, at this time, the crowd gathered in the open field were carrying weapons, and some people were even emitting psychic fluctuations.
"How come there are so many practitioners gathered here?"
Lin Li was full of curiosity and walked towards the open space. Soon, he arrived at the place, glanced at the scene, and found that there were some practitioners The person held a sign in his hand and shouted.
"Come a first-level cultivator, and set off immediately after everyone arrives."
"Come here, a second-level initial practitioner, and set off in the evening after everyone arrives."
>
"Here comes a second-level mid-level practitioner. After everyone is here, we will set off tomorrow morning..."
These people are looking for teammates, what are they going to do... Lin Li watched for a while, but still couldn't figure out what these people were going to do.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out and stopped a fat man.
"Brother, can I ask you something?" Lin Li said with a smile, and at the same time he thrust a fifty copper coin bill into the other person's hand.
The fat man was suddenly stopped by a stranger and frowned slightly. However, when he saw the banknotes in his hand, his frown immediately relaxed and he said kindly.
"Yes! If you want to know anything, just ask..."
Lin Li glanced at the shouting crowd in the distance and asked.
"They are looking for someone to form a team. What are they going to do?"
The slightly fat man did not expect Lin Li to ask such a simple question, so he answered it with a smile.
"The purple bamboo fruit growing near Luoqiu Valley outside the city is ripe. They plan to find someone to form a team to pick it together..."
Lin Li didn't understand the purple bamboo fruit and asked, "What about the purple bamboo fruit?" Is the fruit a spiritual fruit? ”
"..." The fat man suddenly fell silent after hearing what Lin Li said. Then he looked at Lin Li as if he were a fool and thought to himself, "What is this man thinking? If the Purple Bamboo Fruit is a spiritual fruit, where can it be?" It’s their turn!”
After a few seconds, the figure was slightly The fat man said to Lin Li, "The purple bamboo fruit is not a spiritual fruit. It is just an ordinary fruit with a unique taste. However, it is not cheap. If you pick it at this time, you can make a small amount of money."
Lin Li Hearing this, he nodded and then asked some more questions.
"Do you have any other questions to ask? If not, I have to leave..." the slightly fat man asked.
Lin Li shook his head. After the other party left, he wandered around in the empty square where many practitioners gathered.
In addition to teaming up to pick purple bamboo fruits, there are also teams to do other things.
Ten minutes later, Lin Li came to a strong man with a height of 1.85 meters, a Chinese character face, and about thirty-five or six years old.
On this person's sign, it was clearly written what he was going to do, and what he was going to do was not to pick purple bamboo fruits.
"This little brother, we need teammates in the middle of the second stage."
The strong man is quite kind. When he saw that Lin Li was young, he reminded him.
"Why are you going to the abandoned spirit stone mine? Can you please tell me?" Lin Li glanced at the content written on the sign and asked curiously.
Seeing that Lin Li did not leave after his reminder, the strong man was not angry. Instead, he said with a smile.
"It is said that the abandoned spirit stone mine gave birth to a spirit plant that can bear spirit fruits. We want to find it."
Hearing this, Lin Li said with a smile, "It can bear spirit fruits. The spiritual fruit plant is very expensive. If you can find it, you will make a fortune."
"Yes!" the strong man responded with a smile.
"However, there should be many people who know the news..."
"Yes, this news appeared three months ago. During this time, several groups of people have visited the abandoned spirit stone. Mine."
"It has been several months, but no one has found the spiritual plant that can bear spiritual fruits." Lin Li said in surprise. "The abandoned spirit stone mine is quite large and it's not easy to find." The strong man said.
Lin Li said, "Is it false news that there are spiritual plants there?"
The strong man said optimistically, "I'm not sure about this. Let's try our luck. Maybe we will find you..."
Lin Li thought for a while and said, "Yeah, I can't tell about this." Yes, it’s good to try your luck...count me in!”
The strong man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked Lin Li up and down, and said, "Brother, we need practitioners who are in the middle of the second stage."
Lin Li laughed, and then he mobilized the energy in his Dantian. Psychic energy, the body suddenly emitted mid-level second-level psychic energy fluctuations.
The strong man unfolded his mental perception and detected the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Lin Li's body, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Li saw that the other party did not speak, so he asked, "Can I?"
The strong man smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect you, brother, to have a second level at such a young age. The cultivation of the middle level is really amazing!"
Lin Li said modestly, "It's okay, I'm lucky enough to have reached the middle level of the second level."
"My name is Wang Dazhuang, what's your surname? "The strong man introduced himself.
“My name is Lin Li.” Lin Li replied with a smile.
"Brother Wang, have you found anyone?" A pleasant voice sounded beside him.
Lin Li turned around and saw a man and a woman coming in front of him.
The speaker was a tall, short-haired girl with a handsome appearance, who was three or four years older than Lin Li.
"Found it." Wang Dazhuang introduced Lin Li to his two companions.
The short-haired girl's name was Wu Xiaohe. When she learned that Lin Li had a middle-level second-level cultivation, she said in shock, "You are so powerful!"
"It's okay, okay." Lin Li smiled slightly and said modestly.
The man following Wu Xiaohe was named Ji Haoyang. He was 1.75 meters tall. For some reason, there was a hint of wariness in his eyes when he looked at Lin Li.
"Lin Li, you have reached the middle stage of the second level of cultivation at your age. If you go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for a job, you will definitely be vigorously cultivated." Wu Xiaohe said, with a look of yearning in his eyes.
Serving in the city lord's mansion and being vigorously cultivated is what every practitioner without background desires most.
Lin Li smiled and shook his head, and then said to Wu Xiaohe, "I am used to being free."
"Uh..." Wu Xiaohe was speechless after hearing this, and thought to himself, he is indeed a genius in cultivation, but his ideas are different from ours.
"Cultivating quickly now does not mean that it will be so fast in the future. If you don't seize the opportunity at this time, don't regret it in the future." Ji Haoyang said sourly.
Lin Li smiled and said nothing, while Wu Xiaohe glared at his companion.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Dazhuang opened his mouth to smooth things over, "Okay, now that everyone has gotten to know each other, let me tell you when we will set off tomorrow."
Later, Lin Li learned about the departure time tomorrow and said goodbye.
When Lin Li's figure disappeared, Wu Xiaohe turned his head and said to Ji Haoyang, "Why did you speak like that just now?"
"What happened to what I just said?" Ji Haoyang's eyes flickered.
Wu Xiaohe said, "He has just become our teammate. It is so unfriendly for you to say such things..."
Ji Haoyang did not want to admit his mistake and whispered, "I tell the truth, It's not like I was targeting him intentionally."
"You..." Wu Xiaohe didn't know what to say. He glared angrily, then turned and left.
"Xiao He, where are you going?" Ji Haoyang shouted hurriedly.
"Go home..." Wu Xiaohe responded without looking back.
"I'll take you back." Ji Haoyang quickly chased after him, and the two figures disappeared into the crowd in a short while.
Wang Dazhuang looked at the two people leaving, shook his head helplessly, then turned and left.

"Tomorrow morning I will go to the abandoned Lingshi mine with Wang Dazhuang and the others. I will not go back to Blue Star today. I will spend the night here and meet them after breakfast tomorrow morning..."
Lin Li walked on the street, While thinking about it, he made a decision in his mind. At this time, he saw a shop selling pastries across the street and walked over immediately.
After a while, Lin Li walked out of the shop holding a paper bag containing pastries.
There were a lot of people buying things in the store just now, so it was a little inconvenient to open the paper bags.
After coming out of the store, Lin Li couldn't wait to open the paper bag and took out a piece of exquisite pastry.
"It's so delicious. The pastry chef in this shop is so good at his skills!"
Lin Li ate the pastry in his hand and looked back at the shop selling pastries, thinking about coming back again in the future.
"Get out of the way." An urgent voice sounded in the distance.
“Yeah!” Some passers-by screamed, and the quiet street suddenly became agitated.
Lin Li heard the noisy movement and immediately turned his head to look.
I saw a panicked young man running wildly and knocking down many people.
Behind him, there were several soldiers in armor chasing closely.
"The soldiers are catching the fugitives?"
When Lin Li saw the scene in front of him, the scene of the extremely vicious fugitive escaping from prison immediately appeared in his mind.
“Get out of my way.” The panicked young man shouted to the passers-by blocking the road.
Then he turned around and glanced behind him, and saw the soldiers in armor shortening the distance and about to catch up with him, and he became more and more anxious.
At this moment, an enthusiastic passerby suddenly stretched out his right foot.
The panicked young man tripped and fell immediately because he didn't pay attention to his steps.
“Ouch.”
Because I ran too fast, I fell down very badly and screamed in pain.
The soldiers in armor surrounded the young man but did not catch him.
"What are these soldiers doing around like this? Hurry up and handcuff him!" Lin Li was very confused.
Then he heard one of the soldiers wearing armor speaking respectfully to the young man lying on the ground.
"Master, don't run away anymore, come back with us!"
"Master? Isn't this guy a fugitive?" Lin Li was stunned, and then looked at the man lying on the ground in surprise. young men.
"Who tripped me just now?" The young man got up from the ground and asked loudly without thinking about escaping.
The passers-by watching the excitement all looked at Lin Li.
"Uh..." Lin Li raised his hand to touch his nose in embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice, "Who would have thought it was like this!"
"It was you who tripped. Should I kick him?" The young man followed the passerby's gaze and asked Lin Li.
Lin Li said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I thought we were catching fugitives!"
"How do I look like a fugitive?" the young man asked, pointing to his handsome face.
