The morning fog was misty. Tang Bing and Hongdou got up very early. Seeing that Shen Rui was still practicing in high spirits, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling very ashamed. Although the three of them agreed to take turns on duty at night, in fact Shen Rui didn't scream in the second half of the night. Waking them up would mean that he would be on duty for most of the night.
Shen Rui stretched, opened his eyes, and said, "Now that we're up, let's hit the road."
Hongdou couldn't bear it and said to Shen Rui: "You'd better take a rest before leaving. It's still early anyway."
Tang Bing originally wanted to say this, but when he saw that his words were snatched away by Hongdou, he was a little unhappy and said: "You don't have to worry about him, he is as strong as an ox."
Seeing that Tang Bing was jealous for no reason, Shen Rui hurriedly said: "I'm fine, let's hit the road."
The three of them left some gold coins at the farmer's house and walked towards the Qianyue Mountains. On the way, Tang Bing couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Hongdou, you said that the Nirvana Beast only goes dormant in winter, and there is still some time before winter." Time, what are we doing so early?”
Hongdou smiled and said: "With you two bodyguards, I will take the opportunity to go to this mountain to collect more medicine."
Tang Bing said displeasedly: "So you want to take advantage of us."
Hongdou said leisurely: "You came to me voluntarily, it's not a lie."
Tang Bing was about to get angry when Shen Rui said: "Tang Bing, you don't even know she is joking with you. It will take some time for us to find the Nirvana Beast in the mountains. If it is too late, even if we find the Nirvana Beast, we may not have enough time."
Only then did Tang Bing realize it, but when he heard Shen Rui speaking for Hongdou again, he felt angry in his heart: "You like the new and hate the old." But he didn't dare to say any more.
The three of them walked up the mountain. When they reached the middle of the mountain, a cold wind blew suddenly. There were sparse traces of snow on the ground in the woods, and the weather became colder and colder. Fortunately, the three of them had prepared their clothes and put them on. Only then did the chill lessen. After walking for a while, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, making walking more difficult than before.
The three of them came to a flat land on the hillside. Shen Rui suddenly said to the surroundings: "Friends, it's been a hard work following you all the way. Please come out and meet."
"Haha..." A shrill laugh pierced the sky, startling the birds in the forest. Three figures suddenly appeared behind the trees around the plain, one female and two male. The female was very charming, and the male was taller and taller. Short, these three people are naturally Chun Yufeng, Chun Yubian and Chun Yuhong.
As soon as Shen Rui and the others left Qianding City, the three of them got the news from Ke Ming and followed them all the way. It turned out that they were all far away. After going up the mountain, Chun Yufeng originally wanted to send a communication talisman and wait for Chun Yuxiao to come before taking action. Unexpectedly, Chun Yuhong and Chun Yubian thought they could succeed by themselves and stopped her. When they reached the middle of the mountain, they approached Shen Rui and the others.
Shen Rui had long understood from his breath that Chun Yuxiao was not among them as President Yu mentioned, so he did not crush the communication talisman. After all, he did not want to use this trump card unless he had to.
"Oh, this little brother is so handsome." Chun Yufeng smiled when he saw Shen Rui.
"Well, it's a little worse than your handsome guy Ke Ming." Shen Rui said.
Chun Yufeng's expression changed, and she was about to get angry when she suddenly smiled softly and said, "Little brother, how did you know that we were following you all the way?"
Shen Rui said: "It's nothing. It's just that I smelled an extremely unpleasant odor along the way. It's hard to figure it out."
When Tang Bing and Hongdou heard this, they couldn't help but smile.
Chunyu Feng was furious and said: "What a uneducated boy, full of foul words."
Shen Rui said: "The words are a bit dirty, but compared to a shameless woman, they are still clean."
Chun Yufeng knew that the other person was scolding her. When she saw Shen Rui repeatedly hurling insults at him, she shouted angrily: "Looking for death" and rushed to fight with Shen Rui. Chun Yufeng said flatteringly: "Sister Feng, let me deal with him. "
When he intercepted Hongdou in the shop, although he had never seen Shen Rui's face, he had also seen Shen Rui's actions. He knew that he was just a junior martial arts king, a little less powerful than himself. Now was a good opportunity for him to shine. , how could he let it go. Besides, his mission failed because of the obstruction of Shen Rui and Tang Bing. He was scolded by Chun Yuxiao and almost lost his life. He hated Shen Rui deeply. .
In the Alchemist Guild of the Imperial Capital, Wang Yunjian and Liang Gou were discussing the issue of refining medicine in the back garden. Elder Yan walked in hurriedly. "What are you doing here?" Wang Yunjian and Liang Gou had always looked down on Elder Yan's character and almost did not deal with him. Seeing him suddenly walking in, both of them frowned.
"Two elders, it's almost noon. Vice President Ke has prepared some wine and food, and asked me to invite you two to gather in his room." Elder Yan said humbly.
"Vice President Ke invites us to dinner?" The two looked at each other and felt strange. The sun came out from the west?
"Oh, Vice-President Ke said that today is the day of his mother's death, so I have to invite the two elders no matter what, and President Yu has already gone." Elder Yan said again.
"Oh, you go back first, the two of us will arrive soon." Wang Yunjian said.
Elder Yan smiled and said: "You two must arrive, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Vice President Ke."
After that, he hurriedly left. After he left, Liang Gou asked Wang Yunjian: "If Ke Ming invites us to dinner, is he not being kind? Should we go?"
Wang Yunjian said: "Although Ke Ming has no friendship with us, after all, he is a colleague, he is the vice president, and today is his birthday. If we don't go, it will seem that we are too narrow-minded. Don't worry, he will try to deal with us. , and he doesn’t dare to do it in public. Besides, if he tries to hide it from us while drinking, it’s impossible.”
Liang Gou always listened to Wang Yunjian's words. When he heard what he said, his mouth almost watered. He urged: "Okay, let's go immediately."
The two of them were very good at drinking. Although they knew that Ke Ming might not have any good intentions in inviting them, they didn't take it to heart. The two of them hurried to Ke Ming's yard. Sure enough, wine and food were laid out in Ke Ming's hall. Chairman Yu and Elder Wang had already taken his seat and was waiting for the two of them. Ke Ming smiled and said: "It is really an honor for me, Ke, to have these two senior elders come to my house. Come, come, please take a seat."
As soon as they came, they made peace with it. The two of them were not polite and sat down. Ke Ming took out a bottle of exquisitely packaged wine from behind and said: "It is approaching winter and the weather is getting colder. This is a bottle of wine that I have collected for dozens of years." The fine wine of the New Year is called Qianli Nuerhong. It is rare that the president and the two elders are here today, so they specially use this wine to drive away the cold air."
Wang and Liang smelled the mellow aroma and knew it must be good wine. The wine bug immediately came up and said hurriedly: "Vice President Ke is too polite."
In order to show that he had no ill intentions, Ke Ming first added a cup to himself, and then poured it into the cups of President, Wang Yunjian, Liang Gou and Elder Yan respectively.
"Here, Ke Mou proposes the first glass of wine to the president and the three elders." Ke Ming said with a smile, as if he was not at all affected by the obstruction caused by Wang and Liang a few days ago, which resulted in Chun Yufeng's defeat. Complain.
Everyone drank it all in one gulp. "Good wine." Wang Yunjian and Liang Gou were wine connoisseurs, and they immediately tasted the wine and found that it had an infinite flavor and was a rare good wine.
Ke Ming didn't feel bad at all, and repeatedly urged the three of them to drink. President Yu hadn't fully recovered yet, so he left after two drinks. Before leaving, he signaled to Wang and Liang: "You two elders, please don't drink too much. I'm leaving first." One step."
Wang and Liang knew that President Yu was reminding them not to forget about Shen Rui Hongdou and the others, so they smiled and said, "Don't worry, President, we know what to do."
President Yu nodded and left first. The more Wang Liang drank, the more they enjoyed themselves. They could not think of other things. In addition, Ke Ming and Elder Yan kept toasting. After a while, they finally became drunk. , lying on the table.
"These two old men are really good at drinking. I am a thousand-day drunk. Most people can get drunk after just a few drinks, but they drank the whole bottle of me before they got drunk." Ke Ming said a little distressed.
He looked into the distance and said: "Chun Yuxiao, I have made the two old men you are afraid of drunk. They will have to be drunk for at least a few days. The rest is up to you."
