Snow-white noodles are soaked in brown-yellow soup, dark red beef, and green coriander are evenly sprinkled in the soup, making people feel like a colorful work of art, bringing all-round enjoyment of sight, smell, and taste.
Yan Hongxia, who had just woken up, blew in the steam rising from the bowl and took a sip of the delicious and fragrant soup. She felt extremely satisfied.
Although the "Magic" monk is considered a preliminary breath-eater and can live without food to a certain extent, and there is no big problem without eating or drinking for more than ten days, after all, he still needs to regularly replenish some trace amounts of "substances" needed by the body.
It's just that it's best to use spiritual grains, spiritual rice, or meat from monsters or ferocious beasts, otherwise it will hinder your own practice.
However, Yan Hongxia was not eating this breakfast to supplement her own needs, but simply to satisfy her appetite.
Tasting delicious food is one of her hobbies. As long as she has time and the conditions, she will not wrong herself.
Gulu gulu, Yan Hongxia drank the noodle soup without any image, and when she was licking her shiny lips intently, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned her head and looked to the side, only to see a handsome man with a slightly broad forehead. The young man was staring at him with a smile.
If it’s not Zhao Chen, who will come?
Yan Hongxia silently put down the bowl in her hand, took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then asked with a stiff face: "When did you come?"
"When the maid in your house brought in the bowl of beef noodles." Zhao Chen suppressed a smile and replied "sincerely".
In other words, he followed the bowl of beef noodles into Yan Hongxia's room... As the "owner" of the other party, he didn't want the other party to notice it, and Yan Hongxia was completely unaware of it.
As for the other people in Yan Mansion, they cannot see through the effect of "Toad Light".
Wasn't that seen from beginning to end? The image of a chivalrous woman I manage... Yan Hongxia suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, and a touch of "red clouds" climbed onto her cheeks again.
Looking at Yan Hongxia's shameful and angry look, Zhao Chen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect that Sister Hongxia, who was evaluated by the "Yumen Talents List" as having "a peach blossom face and a cunning mind", would actually... Having such a...well, "cute" side was an unexpected bonus, and it was worth his trip.
You know, as Yan Hongxia's "master", Zhao Chen can give her some simple orders through "Big Sun Star Cha" and directly notify her to come to Black Wind Castle.
The reason why he returned to Yumen in person was because such a thing would trouble the "Lord of Xingcha", which would invisibly lower his qualifications and make Sister Hongxia doubt his relationship with the "Lord".
Secondly, if Yan Hongxia went to Black Wind Castle for no reason, it would definitely arouse people's suspicion afterwards, so it was justifiable for him to go there.
As for why he could come back so quickly? This can all be blamed on "Fairy Yinglong", since she has already been determined to take the blame.
After Yan Hongxia wandered in her thoughts for a while, she finally gave up on herself and decided not to think about the things that were and were not. Anyway, she had long lost her image in front of this little pervert.
"Didn't you lead the caravan to Dunhuang? Why did you come to me so early?" Yan Hongxia changed the subject.
"Something happened at Black Wind Castle, and you need to step in to deal with it..." Zhao Chen pretended not to notice her putting away the bowls and chopsticks, and briefly told Yan Hongxia what happened last night.
Of course, he did not put all the blame on Zheng Qingyan as Qi Feimeng said. After all, Sister Hongxia was someone he could completely trust.
It just concealed the existence of Qi Feimeng and the role she played.
After all, Qi Feimeng was good friends with him, so he told him some secrets, but he couldn't reveal them to others without permission... This was a matter of principle.
"The Xie family is actually a subordinate of the 'Four Evils Hall' and has done so many horrific things? Well done!"
Yan Hongxia first affirmed what Zhao Chen did, and then asked doubtfully after thinking for a moment,
"However, is the superior provided by Xie Shuyi credible? It is very rare for Yaoxie's followers to be so weak-willed... not to mention that the person in charge of such a region will definitely be banned."
"The original person in charge of the Xie family should have been 'Kuansha' Xie Bodu, but as you know, history was distorted by some force, which led to Xie Shuyi taking the position, and he has obviously not been banned by 'Yaoxie'..."
"Haha, the 'Four Evil Hall' may have been deceived by the 'historical fog' in the Chijin area this time!" Zhao Chen explained with a smile.
"I see... Without further ado, I will immediately gather reliable personnel and rush to Black Wind Castle to block the news, lest the superiors of the 'Four Evils Hall' in Zhangye hear about it.
"After I interrogate 'Xie Shuyi', I will report it to Zhangye's Taoist Office and the Li family."
Having said this, Yan Hongxia paused and added, "Xie Shuyi will also have his soul collapse because he cannot endure the punishment. There is no need to worry about exposing the Lord's secrets."
Sister Hongxia is really thoughtful and considerate! Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction, then took out a small box from his bag and handed it to the other party: "This is a reward for you."
Yan Hongxia wanted to refuse, but as her spiritual consciousness subconsciously swept away, she discovered that it contained a drop of solidified nectar containing 'Renshui Yinhu Gang'.
This is exactly the material she needs to practice the "Black Emperor Blood Sword Qi".
So Yan Hongxia took it solemnly and thanked her.
"There is no need to be so polite with me..." Zhao Chen waved his hand, not to mention that Yan Hongxia's ability to complete the "Black Emperor Blood Sword" as soon as possible would also be a benefit to himself.
"By the way, what is your relationship with the genius of the Zheng family? Why is she willing to help you?" At this time, Yan Hongxia asked again as if she was casual.
"Uh... we're friends."
…
Zhangye, Taoist Office.
A Taoist priest with thin cheeks and a withered figure, wearing a golden robe, was listening to the report of his subordinates with slightly squinted eyes.
His personal name is Qingyunzi, he is a cultivator in the realm of supernatural power, and he was born in the outer sect of Danding Xianzong, one of the upper sects. He is currently the fifth-rank Taoist official of the Ganzhou Taoist Office and the doctor of Jinque.
"Sir, the information reported by Yumen County is correct. The 'Taihongxuan', 'Lingxiao Pavilion' and other gangs in the city are properties of the 'Four Fierce Halls', and they have all been eradicated.
"There is only one external steward of the Li family, because he is a member of Master Yun Feng. He got the news in advance and ran away." A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade Taoist official reported.
"Hmph, the younger generation of the Li family is really becoming more and more useless! Take my post and tell the elder of the Li family about this and ask him to give an explanation." After Qingyunzi snorted, he asked again, "I I remember that Yan Wen of Yumen, like the head of the Li family, disappeared while chasing Song Wurui...
"Who is in charge of Yumen now?"
"My lord, I am represented by 'Demon Slayer' Yan Hongxia, who is also an in-law of the Li family." The middle-aged man replied.
"There are still some talented people among the in-laws of the Li family. Things were done well this time. Let Yan Hongxia handle the property and land of the Xie family by herself." Qingyunzi nodded, and then after thinking for a while, he ordered ,
"A small border county like Yumen doesn't need a 'Kao Zhao Envoy' with supernatural powers to be in charge. I don't know why the imperial court had such a good match before... Well, in that case, Yan Hongxia was promoted to the sixth grade 'Kao Zhao Deputy Envoy' , officially take charge of the affairs of Yumen County."
"Yes, sir." The middle-aged man responded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How should the evil slayer who first discovered the Xie family's misdeeds be rewarded?"
"Just let Yan Hongxia decide on her own for such a small matter."
"yes."
The middle-aged man who received the reply quickly left the Taoist Office.
Then, he walked through the streets and alleys and came to a house that was not large in scale but had a Jiangnan water town style.
