This night,
Yang Dong tossed and turned on the soft couch, but never fell asleep.
This is the first time he has truly left the palace since time travel.
He didn't know how dangerous it was outside.
But I have to go on this trip...
While tossing and turning, the eastern sky gradually became brighter.
Yang Dong stood up immediately and hurried to the Lenggong Manufacturing Factory.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Lu leaning comfortably on the recliner.
Holding a cake in one hand and a cup of hot tea in the other.
When Mr. Lu saw Yang Dong, he immediately came over as if he were seeing a rare treasure.
"Xiao Yang, what have you been doing these days? Why don't you come to Lenggong Manufacturing Factory!"
"I have told you many times that you have unprecedented talents in the field of craftsmanship."
"You never come to the manufacturing facility. This is a waste of your talent. Do you understand that it is a waste of natural resources?"
Yang Dong was too lazy to pay attention to the old man, sat down on another wooden stool, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
"Mr. Lu, you'd better give up on being a craftsman as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty has sent me to Luozhou this time. I don't know when I will come back."
"Maybe you won't be able to see me again!"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu's eyes instantly turned red.
His eyes were wide and he was breathing heavily, looking like a crazed bull.
"How dare this foolish king do this!"
"No, I want to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Hearing the word "faint king", Yang Dong's whole body went numb.
He covered Mr. Lu's mouth and whispered:
"Mr. Lu, calm down! We are still in the palace, and I am working for His Majesty."
"Where do you put me with your remarks?"
Then, he added silently in his heart.
Even if you old guy is tired of living, I haven't lived enough yet!
When Mr. Lu heard this, although he still looked dissatisfied, he still nodded.
"What you said makes sense."
"Objectively speaking, the little emperor is a pretty good backer."
"But... there has just been a flood in Luozhou, and now there is a war and chaos. You, a mere fourth-grade martial artist, are not afraid of dying there?"
Yang Dong's face stiffened.
Mr. Lu, if you can’t speak, just don’t say anything, okay?
I'm going to leave immediately. If you say this, aren't you cursing me?
Seeing his ugly face, Mr. Lu also guessed something.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled off a shiny black piece of cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Dong's hand.
"Let's do this. Take this piece of cloth and go to Qunfang Building in the capital to find a beggar named Hong."
"After meeting him, ask him to go to Luozhou with you. Only in this way can you ensure that your trip is safe."
Yang Dong took the cloth in a daze, but couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Is it possible that the old man Lu in front of me is actually an expert hermit?
He has many very awesome friends, is this beggar one of them?
As soon as he thought of this, he saw Mr. Lu turn around, take out a few copper coins from his arms, and murmur in a low voice.
"This time I introduced business to that old guy again. He can't still give me some money, can he?"
"If he doesn't give it this time, I'll blow up his doghouse with gunpowder!"
When Yang Dong heard this, his cheeks were immediately filled with black lines.
"Um... Mr. Lu, before I leave, help me prepare some unmixed gunpowder."
"Also, prepare some iron pipes of different thicknesses. One end must be welded. I have to take them with me to Luozhou."
"I know, I know!"
Mr. Lu waved his hand impatiently,
"If you have any requests for me next time, tell me in advance. If you tell me now, how can I take a nap today?"
"This young man has no sense of taking precautions at all. It may be difficult to come back from Luozhou this time~"
Yang Dong's face was covered with black lines and he left angrily.
But on the way back to Qianji Tower, he suddenly thought of two good bodyguard candidates.
Really, how could you forget those pair of resentful guardians!
Although they don't have enough brains, their strength is high!
At least he is much better than himself, a parallel fourth-grade martial artist.
But... what if they don't go to Luozhou with me?
Yang Dong frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that he should go see the crazy demon girl before leaving.
First of all, it is an antidote to the poison of lust, but it is indeed not enough. Secondly, it is also convenient to mobilize the high and low guardians.
So, he returned to his original residence. But he saw Chunlan cleaning her courtyard.
When Chunlan saw Yang Dong coming over early in the morning, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Yang, Manager Yang, why are you back..."
"I want to go to Kangning Palace to visit Empress Xiang Fei. Can you take me there?"
When Chunlan heard this, her eyes were filled with disappointment.
But she still managed a smile and timidly said:
"Of course. Your Majesty should be finishing her worship to the Bodhisattva and preparing for breakfast."
"We have to hurry up."
…
Kangning Palace,
Zhao Xiangling sat at the table, looking at the food on the table with her almond-shaped eyes.
A bowl of rock sugar lotus leaf porridge, a small corner of pancake, a plate of small pickles, and a portion of boiled vegetables.
"Are you sure this is breakfast for me?"
When the maid next to her heard this, she immediately knelt down on her knees.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The master of Ganlu Temple has just finished performing rituals in the palace and highly praised your Majesty's integrity in worshiping the Buddha."
"Therefore, Your Majesty ordered the Secretary of the Kitchen Department to provide only vegetarian meals for the Queen from now on."
"This dog emperor!"
Zhao Xiangling's face changed with anger.
She pointed at the food on the wooden table, her lips trembling with anger.
"He actually dares to ask me to eat fast!"
"Is it possible that I am trapped in Kangning Palace just to have a vegetarian meal?"
"Immediately ask the dining room to prepare a new meal for me. I want to eat meat, at least three kinds of meat!"
When the maid saw this, she immediately kowtowed vigorously on the ground.
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Even the kitchen can do nothing."
"Why don't you...why don't you invite me to try this vegetarian meal first..."
"Get out of here, me!"
Zhao Xiangling roared angrily and kicked the maid on the back.
Her chest rose and fell violently, and the scenery was infinite under her thin, semi-transparent skirt.
"If you don't want to eat it, I won't eat it!"
The maid immediately lowered her head and exited the palace.
At this moment, Zhao Xiangling was the only one left in the huge Kunning Palace.
"Alas... when will this miserable life of this holy lady end?"
"I don't know how many followers that guy Xiao Dongzi has gathered for this saint."
"At least...at least we must rob this saint out of the palace first..."
While chanting, she got up and walked to the statue of Bodhisattva.
He stretched out his jade hand and picked up a sausage from the Bodhisattva's offering.
After blowing off the ash from the top, she took a small bite.
Sure enough, the beauty of meat cannot be replaced by vegetarian dishes.
A hint of pure satisfaction appeared on Zhao Xiangling's charming face at this moment.
At this moment, the maid's trembling announcement came from outside the door.
"Mother, Manager Yang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to see you!"
