Ah Qing failed to become what she wanted, but this was not her fault, but the fault of this world.
If An Long had not died by the sword and she had not been caught, she might have grown up safely and happily guarding the peach garden, as innocent and ignorant as before.
Chen Changsheng did not answer her words, but raised his tea cup to signal.
Ah Qing glanced at it and asked with a smile: "Tea instead of wine?"
"That's right." Chen Changsheng nodded.
The teacups in their hands clinked and they drank the tea in one gulp.
After drinking all the tea in the cup, Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did you come back this time?"
Ah Qing replied: "Come back to see my father, and I want to go back to Taolin by the way."
After hearing this, Yanhuanglou said: "I heard that the peach grove has returned to the palace."
"I know."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it back. Do you have any plans?"
Ah Qing shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans, just go to the door and ask for it."
Yanhuang Tower said: "How can I get this back?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Ah Qing replied with a smile.
Yanhuanglou shook his head, thinking it was a joke.
Afterwards, the few of them didn't chat much. Ah Qing put on the mask again and left in a hurry, saying he would come back later for tea.
Only Chen Changsheng and Yanhuanglou were left on the table.
Yanhuanglou looked at the direction A Qing was leaving, raised his eyebrows and said, "This girl really wants to beg for it."
Chen Changsheng said: "It should be."
Yanhuanglou blinked and said, "I thought it was a joke. We have to stop him. The palace is heavily guarded. How can she get in just by saying she wants to?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "What if she really gets it back?"
When Yanhuanglou heard this, he said, "She is fooling around, are you fooling around too?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Drink tea in peace."
Yanhuanglou sighed and asked no more questions.
…
At noon, the sky suddenly darkened.
The ground was dry, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain again." Yanhuang Lou said.
Chen Changsheng glanced sideways and said, "Heavy rain."
Yanhuanglou wants to close its stall.
But Chen Changsheng said: "You go back first, Chen is waiting for someone here, and I will take this stall back for you later."
"Okay." Yanhuang Tower said.
He took a step to leave here, and within a few steps he felt heavy breathing.
Perhaps because it was about to rain heavily, he, who had only one breath left, could no longer hold on.
It was not a long way home from the tea stall, but it took him twice as long today, and he was sweating profusely when he got back to the house.
As he landed on the bed, his breathing became much heavier.
"Boom!!"
A thunder sounded from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, this Qingshan City seemed to have turned from day to night.
Before that palace.
Several elite soldiers were lying here and there, wailing in their mouths and unable to stand up.
The woman standing in front of the mansion raised her hand...
Knocked the door of the palace!
…
The tea on the table is still warm.
"call……"
A strong wind blew, and the weather-beaten stall couldn't help but shake and creak.
Chen Changsheng raised his hand and pressed it on the table. Suddenly, the swaying stall calmed down and was protected from the wind and rain.
When he looked up again, he saw an old man in black clothes sitting in front of him.
The old Dragon King said: "Hey, have you changed your mind and started drinking tea?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Drink some hot tea to warm up."
The old Dragon King glanced at the steaming tea, nodded and said, "That's fine."
"Crash..."
It started to rain heavily, and it pattered on the shed overhead.
"I brought you the elixir you asked for."
The old Dragon King handed over the elixir.
By the way, there are also several classics on the art of alchemy.
"Thank you, Mr. Long." Chen Changsheng thanked him.
The old Dragon King hummed twice and said: "If you really thank me, you won't just treat me to tea. I wonder if you can be more generous and treat me to a meal."
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said: "Chen is used to having no money in the past. I forgot. I can treat you to some food next time."
"That's pretty much it." Long Jun nodded and smiled.
Chen Changsheng nodded, then changed his tone and asked, "This time, Chen wants to inquire about someone else from Mr. Long."
"Who?"
"Yan Yan, King Yu of Jingshi, was named Mr. Zhulan, and he was a practitioner."
"Mr. Zhulan?"
The old Dragon King recalled it, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have never heard of this name. Maybe I missed it. After all, I have rarely walked around the world in recent years. If it is a prince, I don't have the time.
Go pay attention.”
"What did this person do that made Mr. Chen personally inquire about it?"
Chen Changsheng said: "It's nothing, I just think this person is quite interesting and I want to meet him."
"interesting?"
"Um."
Chen Changsheng told him about Mr. Zhulan.
After hearing this, the Old Dragon King couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that he is a character..."
"What's the pity?"
"He will be punished by God for doing such a thing. Even if he manages to avoid the secret, he will be destined to walk in the shadows in the future."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng agreed: "That's exactly it..."
The old Dragon King then asked: "Speaking of which, those three points of human emperor's luck are in your hands now?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "I don't know how to deal with it yet, let it take its course."
"It's better to take action earlier."
The old Dragon King said: "Lest you get involved in any karma and harm your conduct."
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen knows."
In fact, when he brought the three-part luck out of the painting, he vaguely noticed some resistance from heaven and earth, but it was not very serious. Perhaps it was not so strong because the three-part fate had never played any role.
The old Dragon King nodded, and then he talked to Chen Changsheng about his family's filial piety, and when he talked about his dragon sons and daughters, the pride on his face became more and more obvious.
Chen Changsheng nodded in agreement, already used to his face.
After the rain stopped, the old Dragon King left.
"Let's go. Come back to Tongtian River to treat you to a drink."
"Longjun, walk slowly."
After the old Dragon King left, Chen Changsheng put away the elixirs and classics on the table, then started to clean up the tea stall and took back everything that should be brought back.
When I went back, I happened to run into Wang Sanniang.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Sanniang didn't go to set up a stall today?"
Wang Sanniang said: "Ruyi is very dizzy. Maybe it was raining and blowing yesterday, so I gave him some medicine and it got better."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "It'll be better if it gets better."
After saying a few words, Wang Sanniang went back to the house to cook the medicine.
Chen Changsheng returned to the courtyard and walked into the room.
A heavy rain came down.
Yanhuang Tower was already dying at this moment, as if it was about to fall asleep.
Chen Changsheng walked to the bedside and said, "It was fine earlier, but why did it rain?"
