In the end, Lan Tongzi still didn't finish the lunch he was thinking about.
He hurriedly and slowly rushed to He Lai Inn. Hongtongzi and Mr. Xu were already waiting for him under the rain curtain at the door.
"Sir, why are you in such a hurry!" He wanted to take credit in front of everyone at the dinner table, but he stamped his feet anxiously.
"Lan Fu, I received an urgent letter from Xia Ya." Red Boy stopped him and whispered in his ear: "Sir, he came back after having a drink with others at the Huanjiao Grand View."
Lan Tongzi looked up, and sure enough, the gentleman's face was white and slightly red.
"Sir, have some food before you leave!" Lan Tongzi grunted, trying to be coquettish.
"Hongxuan, I won't be riding in the clouds today. Let's find a ride and keep a low profile." Xu Hui didn't look that anxious.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Lan Tongzi knew there was no chance, so he came to grab the power in front of him again.
Lan Tongzi found an open place, raised the sky with one hand and drew a talisman with a few gestures. Not long after, several loud rumbling sounds came from the clouds.
It was a sunny day at noon, how could it thunder?
Someone looked for it and saw a bright red thing flying from the sky at a very fast speed and landing in the blink of an eye.
After landing, he saw clearly that it was a big iron ball. The big iron ball instantly deformed and turned into a red-armored giant seven or eight feet tall.
The giant squatted down awkwardly, opening his chest to reveal a gangway.
"Sir, please go first." Lan Tongzi made a gesture of invitation.
Mr. Xu looked at the huge and swaggering "Red Mountain Warrior" and his face turned from red to green, but he didn't say anything and climbed up in three or two steps.
"You're dead!" The red boy swayed happily to keep up, while the blue boy smiled evilly and came to the end.
After all three people got in, the red-armored warrior began to rumble.
Someone heard Xu Hui's lecture: "Lan Fu, I asked you to do two things today. Both of them were wanton and arrogant, completely violated the law, and insulted the gentlemen. I will punish you to go back and copy the "Shizhou Sutra" two hundred times."
Sure enough, it was not just a matter of death, it was almost life and death.
At the same time, in the dark grand view, a fairy spy came to ask for instructions from Master Piyue. They discovered the "Red Mountain Warriors" of Xia Ya Kingdom. Should they be destroyed immediately?
Master Piyue really wanted to do this, but he looked at Xu Fang who was wiping the Yuli knife over and over again in front of him, and finally waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
As for Lu Ran Huan Kezhizi, who came back slowly all the way, he could only see a red-armored giant flying away in the sky from a distance, and in the end he never saw Xu Hui again.
There are naturally some reasons for this, and of course, there are also some considerations.
All in all, this was still a day worth celebrating. For this reason, Qingwu specially granted Lu Ran a half-day leave. After such a busy time, it was already afternoon and the inn was deserted.
It’s still the same dirty woodshed, still the same three people and one monster.
When the prince returned, he changed into a fresh robe with a red nose. Although he was tired, he did not look sad.
He was even a little elated, especially when he heard that the people who saved him were Grand Master Xia Ya and his boy. He felt even more excited and surprised, and drank several large glasses of "Jade Red Spring Mud".
After a few glasses of wine, his words became more unrestrained.
As a prince, a prince who is determined to become a swordsman, he has to learn and memorize various immortals, exercises, magic weapons, riding, caves, etc. since he was a child...
Speaking of which, it is simply eloquent.
This is especially true when it comes to enemy religions.
When you meet on the battlefield, you know yourself and the enemy. Not to mention that you will be in danger in a hundred battles, but at least you have to know that you have to run away from someone you can't defeat.
Xu Hui and the four boys under him are the kind of people who don't need to think twice about running away when they encounter them.
"Is he really a prince? He looks like a golden-haired gangster."
"Chasing immortals is like this, golden-haired, excited, and talkative."
Looking at Huihuan, there are so many treasures, and they talk further and further, and they have already talked about 30,000 years ago. Lu Ran listened with interest, Qingwu felt that it was outrageous, and rolled his eyes to the top of his head.
Ke Zhizi was still quiet, but very supportive, holding her chin, smiling, looking at Hui Huan with admiration.
She changed into a blue and white two-piece skirt and trousers. Although it looked like men's clothing and women's clothing, she still looked pretty.
Lu Ran quietly looked at her several times and found that maybe because of the familiarity, she seemed to be much more cheerful.
Of course it was impossible for him to tell, but Ke Zhizi looked at him a few times. His eyes were empty, blank, helpless, surprised... and pitiful.
After returning to Huan and talking about them being captured by the black robe, they had no clue. From the beginning to the end, they were locked in the black robe, spending the night in pitch darkness, until they felt some shaking, and then someone spoke - why not let them go first.
Then they were sent downstairs with their faces covered. At this point, Ke Zhizi added: "But I remember that the stairs we went down totaled nine flights."
"Yes, I also counted it, it's nine levels." Hui Huan thought about it and confirmed it was correct.
"That's not right. The Eight Immortals Building only has eight floors. There are only seven flights of stairs to the eight floors. Where do the nine flights of stairs come down from?" Lu Ran calculated for a long time and wondered.
"Maybe it just looks like eight floors from the outside, but there are some mezzanines and attics inside?" Kochiko tried to explain.
"No, there must be something weird in this building." Hui Huan's expression suddenly darkened, "Although I can't see it, I heard it, smelled it, and felt it -"
"Is it a ghost? There must be one." Lu Ran interjected.
"It's not just a monster, I heard a woman's scream..."
"And babies crying and laughing."
"There were male moans."
"There are also whispers that I don't know if they are human."
"It's a dead person..."
"It's a dead person."
"Many, many dead people." Hui Huan and Ke Zhizi shouted almost at the same time.
"And that voice is still ringing in my ears." Hui Huan added.
"This..." Lu Ran swallowed what he was about to say, and the three of them looked at each other, their expressions darkening.
Only Qingwu hummed three times, picked up eight large fried dumplings, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The three of them were immediately shocked and burst into laughter.
"Lu Qing, you are so powerful!" Ke Zhizi exclaimed without caring about the girl's reserve.
"Ah, yes, let's not mention the unlucky things today. It's time to eat and drink!" Lu Ran immediately agreed.
"Then let's drink a toast and thank Mr. Xu for saving our friends! Good friends!" Hui Huan raised his glass again.
"What? Who is your friend? Am I not your benefactor?" He had obviously called them friends, but Lu Ran was pretending again.
"What did I say before I left? Brother Ran, I am determined to be your friend! From now on, you will be my good friend. When I return to the world, Achebe will live until he is seventeen. My only good friend!"
"What, we are actually the same age?" Lu Ran felt happy in his heart, and turned to ask Ke Zhizi: "What are you? How old are you?"
"I...I'm sixteen..." Ke Zhizi was caught off guard and lowered his head.
"I'm not asking about your age. What I'm asking is, what about you? Are you our good friend?"
It's ours and mine, hey hey hey.
This time Ke Zhizi looked at Lu Ran with shock.
She suddenly regained her melancholy expression, frowned again, and said timidly and quietly: "I... I am just His Highness's sword attendant. I can't be His Highness's good friend, and I... can't Be a friend of His Highness’s friends.”
Then she stopped participating in the chats of the other three, and quietly guarded her sword box that was always inseparable.
Drinking with a close friend lasted from noon to midnight, until I was almost unconscious.
Lu Ran didn't even mention that this was actually the first time he drank alcohol in his life.
He was originally a little depressed because of some hidden worries, some hopes, and even some small jealousies, but after he got drunk, he threw all of it away.
He stumbled and talked nonsense all the way back to his room.
Then, he finally saw the "Introduction to Jie Jiao Qi Refining" that Xu Hui had left for him on the bedside.
