Zhan Jingyi slept until noon the next day before he woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt as if someone had come to his avatar.
Therefore, Zhan Jingyi quickly connected his mental power to his own soul. Through his one eye, he discovered that it was already bright outside and several maids came to help him get up.
Next, Zhan Jingyi's spirit half lay on the chair, while being served by several maids, while drinking some porridge, his eyes looking up and down at the bodyguards from time to time.
I don't know what he is thinking about in the one-eyed pupil, but from time to time there will always be a flash of cold sparks.
"Hello!"
Not long after finishing the porridge, Shi Yuqi walked in, waved the maids around to leave, and then she came to Zhan Jingyi's side, staring at him without saying a word.
Zhan Jingyi stared at Shi Yuqi through his split soul, thinking, what's going on? Did she see something?
"How's it going? Did you sleep well last night?"
The two stared at each other for a while, then Shi Yuqi suddenly asked. The meaning behind his words made Zhan Jingyi stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded: "It's okay!"
Shi Yuqi suddenly smiled and said: "You may not know me yet, let me introduce to you our Shi family. Although our Shi family is not of the city lord lineage in Blackwater City, we are indeed very good at spiritual cultivation, especially in the art of the soul. After a lot of research, the souls remembered by our Shi family are absolutely unmistakable."
Listening to Shi Yuqi's words, Zhan Jingyi was shocked. What did it mean? Did she know that it was a fragment of his soul that controlled the Lion King now?
After a moment of silence, Zhan Jingyi thought about it again and thought that she would not deceive him, so he sighed and let out a trace of spiritual power.
Shi Yuqi knew that the lion king could not speak because all his limbs were disabled and his tongue was missing. Seeing a burst of spiritual power coming out, she hesitated and also released a trace of spiritual power.
As soon as the two mental powers intertwined, a voice appeared in Shi Yuqi's heart, "Yu Qi, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Since you already know, let's cooperate. At least our goals are the same. "
Shi Yuqi hesitated and said, "What is your plan?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I think you should also know that the passage to this world is in the palace of the royal capital. Moreover, I heard the Lion King said that there is a huge secret there, but I tried my best, and he I haven’t said anything, and I don’t know if he doesn’t know either.”
"But because I can't go to the palace alone, I took this opportunity to let you rescue the Lion King, and then give you this message through the Lion King's mouth, so that you can go to the palace with me. "
While Zhan Jingyi was talking, Shi Yuqi didn't say much, but just listened silently. When his words came to an end, Shi Yuqi said: "Even we are taking a very big risk in this matter, why should we do it?" Are you making a wedding dress?"
"You can't say that. After all, our goals are the same. Besides, I'm just one person. There are so many of you, are you still afraid of what I might do?"
Shi Yuqi hesitated and then said: "I need to communicate with Lei Zhen and the others before I can answer you..."
…
"No..."
Zhan Jingyi blurted out that the Lei Zhen brothers and sisters and the others, to be honest, he really didn't believe it, because he was afraid that if Shi Yuqi told them the truth, it might cause more problems.
Thinking of this, Zhan Jingyi patiently advised: "If we tell Lei Zhen and the others at this time, their opinions will definitely not be unified, and a lot of unnecessary trouble may arise. So from this point of view, it is not recommended to tell them now."
"Because our goals are the same. I just want to leave here and return to Black Flag City. It's impossible for one person to defeat so many of you, so what do you have to worry about?"
"On the contrary, my presence can serve as a surprise force and can also have unexpected effects. What do you think?"
Shi Yuqi was also very smart. Although she still felt that there might be some problems, she didn't say anything more and nodded, which was regarded as acknowledgment of his statement.
But then, Shi Yuqi said: "Since we are allies, similar things must be discussed in advance in the future, and you cannot deceive me."
"In addition, I can tell you a news that I haven't told the others yet. In a few days, the sacrificial ceremony will begin. By then, the palace doors will be wide open, and we will have a chance to sneak in."
Hearing the news about Shi Yuqi, Zhan Jingyi couldn't help but feel happy. He had stayed here enough and really wanted to leave here as soon as possible so that he could go to Heishui City. After all, Qiao Xueqing and Yan Sixia were still in Heishui City. Waiting for yourself.
Thinking of this, Zhan Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Yu Qi, maybe you really misunderstood me. I really didn't mean it that night, I just..."
"Okay, don't talk anymore, I'm leaving..."
Before Zhan Jingyi could finish speaking, a blush appeared on Shi Yuqi's face, she quickly interrupted him and left the room in a hurry.
Zhan Jingyi looked a little depressed, but he had no choice but to withdraw his mental power. After just a moment of communication, he felt his whole head hurt. It seems that this kind of soul-splitting technique really requires a mental mutant to use it. If It's really not that good if your mental strength is a little bit low.
To be honest, even though he had just reached a cooperative relationship with Shi Yuqi, Zhan Jingyi was really uncomfortable when talking about things together because of their intimate experience.
…
“Boss, let’s have a bowl of wontons!”
In the capital, near the palace, there is an inconspicuous alley. There is a small wonton shop at the entrance of the alley. Outside the shop, the word "wonton" is written in traditional Chinese on a simple wooden sign. The edge of the sign has already It looked a bit shabby due to wind and rain, but the handwriting was still clear.
Walking into the store, the space is not large but it is very elegantly decorated. Several simple couplets, calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, several dining tables and benches are neatly arranged, and blue and white porcelain bowls and chopstick holders are placed on the table.
The aroma of wontons wafts in the air, making people salivate. It is lunch time, and the store is already filled with many diners. Many of the people here are lower-class people, gathering together to taste the delicious wontons. , while chatting in a low voice, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
A middle-aged chef is busy wrapping wontons. His technique is skillful and fast, and plump wontons are quickly formed in his hands.
On his side, there is a pot of cooked bone soup. The soup is rolling over a warm fire. Large pieces of meat are constantly rolling in the pot with the soup, and golden fat can be seen on the edge of the soup. , condenses without scattering, boils without splashing, this is the color that only the best oil can show.
The chef puts the wrapped wontons into the hot pot, then stirs them gently with a large spoon to ensure that each wonton is heated evenly. He quickly scoops out a bowl of wontons, sprinkles a spoonful of ingredients, a drop of sesame oil, a small A spoonful of vinegar, paired with pickled dried sunflower seeds, a spoonful of thick soup, and a few cooked wontons dancing in the soup.
After several waiters were busy, when bowls of steaming wontons were brought to the table, the whole store was filled with an attractive aroma. The diners looked at the wontons in the small spoons, trailing tails as thin as cicada wings. It looks like several dancing beauties.
When you take a bite, the pink meat filling inside is filled with a strong aroma of gravy. It is delicious and delicious. The meat is chewy and mixed with the soup. The aroma is overflowing. Although the weather is getting hotter, this bowl of wontons is still delicious. When we went down, we were really sweating profusely and feeling very refreshed.
No, today is the day of the Bone Clan's annual festival. There is no curfew at night and it is more lively than the Chinese New Year. Although ordinary people cannot enter the palace, they can still watch the excitement at the sacrifice grounds around the palace.
Therefore, the wonton shop closest to the palace became crowded. On one of the tables, Zhan Jingyi was sitting there, eating a bowl of meat wontons. While eating, he also paid attention to what was going on around him. .
Tonight is the day of the big sacrifice, and Lei Zhen and the others will definitely come, so he will also look for opportunities to see how he can sneak into the palace. Only in this way can he take advantage of the chaos to gain the greatest benefits for himself.
