In the end, he couldn't swallow the ten cakes. In the past, Zhao Zhengli just threw them away. After suffering from hunger, he understood that every grain was hard work and knew that he had more than enough food, so he didn't panic. He carefully kicked the remaining meat cakes into his arms.
When the two of them walked back to look for Princess Dali, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly said, "I was the one who took a look!"
Zhao Zhengli thought he was talking about Princess Dali, and nodded blankly: "It's not strange to see someone else in disguise!"
He glanced with disdain: "I'm talking about you!"
"what happened to me?"
"My brain is stupider than I expected. If I don't have money, I will just starve. It wasn't until I almost fainted from hunger that I realized that you really didn't leave a penny. It's rare to be so cruel to yourself. It's rare." "
"The owner of Peach Blossom Village is a great master. Why does Xiaodao dare to play tricks? Besides, he stopped the old man of the Du family for us. He can't be justified if he is not honest. By the way, you keep calling Xiaodao brother and sister. If you have money, why don't you lend it to Xiaodao? ? I am so in debt that I still have to pay even the principal and interest rates! Is there any brother like you?"
"The rules of the world, brothers, let's settle accounts clearly. Can the two hundred gold you owe me be the same as the two hundred gold you owe the owner of Peach Blossom Village? Looking at the way you smashed the silver and copper plates, you can tell that you are not a kind person. For the sake of our eternal friendship, It’s better to reduce money exchanges! By the way, he didn’t stop Old Man Du Qiao for us, but for you. I, Chen Xiaoyao, have been helping you along the way, so you must remember this relationship!"
Zhao Zhengli was dumbfounded by his stern look, and nodded blankly to admit: "Although it doesn't sound right, it makes sense!" Then he put on a smiling face, and Chen Xiaoyao suddenly felt something bad. Before he could retreat, he was struck by Zhao Zhengli's words. Pulling him back: "Can you help me a little more and lend some silver to my brother?"
Chen Xiaoyao also forced out a smile: "Then do you know how much money you owe me?"
Zhao Zhengli was stunned for a moment, raised his fingers and counted: "I borrowed one hundred taels in repayment at the farmhouse, but later I borrowed more than seventy taels when I had no change. I didn't borrow any money at the Peach Blossom Wine Shop, so I wiped out all the two hundred gold I owed to the owner of Peach Blossom Winery. , so I owe you a total of more than one hundred and seventy taels of silver."
"You're an honest kid, but for the time being, we're going together, and I'll take care of the money first. I just got ten pieces of meat pie and five copper coins!"
"What? This is also keeping accounts? Stingy guy breaks off friendship!"
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to it, that's all!"
"You still have a conscience!"
"Tell me, how do you know Princess Dali? Is she really as stunningly beautiful as the rumors say? What is the beauty method? Describe it! Let me have a rough impression!"
"You really have ideas about the top ten beauties!"
"Nonsense, if you don't have thoughts about beauties, is it normal to have thoughts about people of the same sex?" He paused and turned to look at the rough guy Zhao Zhengli: "But you are not bad looking, but it's a pity that you are a man!"
Zhao Zhengli pointed at his rugged face: "Do you like this? Then I'll tear it off and give it to you!"
Chen Xiaoyao asked instead without answering and sighed: "Do you know what the farthest distance is between people?"
The sudden change in the tone of his conversation made Zhao Zhengli unable to keep up with the rhythm for a moment: "Apart from life to the end of the world?"
Chen Xiaoyao almost roared at the top of his lungs: "Are you pretending to be confused while pretending to understand? Your uncle is a stinky Taoist who talks nonsense and won't tell me about Princess Dali?"
"One tael of silver per part!"
"Holy shit, why don't you go and grab her! Wait, you know every part of her like the back of your hand?"
"Oh, I have read countless pictures, and the women are probably the same! Is it so difficult that you still want to go for a physical examination?"
“She allows nature to be better!”
"..."
"By the way, let me ask you a question!"
"you say!"
"Are you Hina?"
"..."
"Why are you blushing? Hahaha, you are really a chick!"
"..."
"Brother, I will take you to a place someday. It will be wonderful!"
"Yes! Please let me go. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, my Taoist skills will be picked up, and my true energy will be released."
"Don't you Taoists have a dual cultivation method? You might as well try it. Picking up yin and replenishing yang can be faster than sitting cross-legged and meditating. It will make you happy, make others happy, and improve your Taoist practice. It's the best of all three!"
"..."
The two rough guys roared away on Beicheng Street, their voices no matter how loud they were, were drowned out by the shouting and noise in the street.
In a teahouse in Beicheng, a woman in dark green clothes sat quietly by the window, sipping Qingzhou green tea, eating spring flower pastries, seafood snacks, and quietly listening to the tea guests and storytellers chatting about rivers, lakes and temples.
She has a cold face and well-proportioned facial features. The only drawback is that her skin is slightly dark, and she also has sporadic obvious freckles and moles. Only her watery eyes add a lot of aura to her, and her graceful figure has a unique charm.
Such a frosty look did not stop the outside world from harassing her. Four or five self-righteous young men came to harass her over the course of a cup of tea. Without exception, they were all frightened away by her eyes. Of course, there was a little bit of anger in her eyes. If there is no coercion, she will be mistakenly thought that she is making secret glances!
However, just when she thought she could drink tea and eat snacks quietly, two rough guys sat down opposite her. She frowned slightly, raised her eyes and was about to repeat her trick, but she saw two rough guys staring at her with lewd smiles on their faces. He looked at himself, especially the unshaven one, with an indescribably dirty look in his eyes.
She looked at another rough man without a beard. It was the familiar man she met on the street earlier. Their eyes collided again. She instantly captured the scene with her in the Black Heron Temple from the other person's mind, and she was subconsciously surprised. He exclaimed: "Is it you? Second-rate Zhao!"
"..."
Except for Zhao Zhengli, Chen Xiaoyao looked startled. The two of them changed their disguises seamlessly, and the other party could actually see through it at a glance. Can this woman see through people's hearts?
Then he laughed loudly: "Haha, second-rate?..."
Zhao Zhengli was ashamed.
She herself recovered from the surprise, her eyes visibly narrowed into a crescent shape, and a charming smile appeared on her fair face, with a hint of evil intention in her sweetness.
The handsome young man who failed to strike up a conversation at a few tables in the distance looked confused. He began to wonder about the taste of women nowadays. Is it possible that only rugged people feel safe?
Zhao Zhengli suddenly felt something bad and coughed twice as a reminder: "If you dare to do anything wrong, I will go all out to reveal your identity and spread the secret that you have entered the Wulu Temple."
She paused after hearing this, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally pursed her lips: "It's really boring, I can't afford it at all!"
Zhao Zhengli didn't show up either. He grabbed the snacks on the table and put them into his mouth. He also didn't forget to bring a plate of pastries to Chen Xiaoyao: "You are the one who really can't stand it. Don't forget that I have helped you a lot in the Wulu Temple." , now that you’ve come out, you’ve turned your back on me and don’t recognize anyone?”
The princess who was caught in a weak spot smiled brightly and wiped her cheeks. The slightly dark skin actually turned discolored: "This princess is a good person who knows how to repay kindness!"
Chen Xiaoyao chewed the pastry brought by Zhao Zhengli and ate slowly: "Good man, your face has turned pale!"
"This princess is transforming into a mortal, what a fuss!"
"..."
Zhao Zhengli said happily: "If you repay your kindness, I have to agree to it. Anyway, I can't stay in Qingguo any longer. It would be good to go to Dali and become a courteous son-in-law."
She said arrogantly: "Sure enough, you are deliberately trying to get close to me, but I don't like you, a stinky Taoist priest!"
Zhao Zhengli showed disdain: "Hey, you really think you are a piece of cake! I am dedicated to practice, and you can't mess with my mind. Besides, my senior brother once said that a good-looking woman cannot support a family, and there are a lot of men who care about her!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess was furious: "You are such a thief, how dare you go around the corner and slander me."
He innocently spread his hands again: "No, I'm just using vulgar words to describe a beautiful woman that all men in the world can only dream of!"
She suffered a verbal defeat and had nowhere to vent her anger. She rolled her eyes at the two rough guys across from her who were suppressing their smiles. She took a few big bites of cakes to vent her emotions. Her cheeks were bulging, and her eyes were filled with disdain and stubborn contempt. Very cute.
Zhao Zhengli, regardless of her identity, stretched out his hand and pinched the bulging cheek. The offended Princess bared her teeth and opened her mouth to bite. Zhao Zhengli quickly retracted his palm, his hands were stained black and his face turned white.
Chen Xiaoyao rubbed the stubble on his face and kept chewing. He thought to himself, they are really a pair of enemies. The princess of the same country is not really angry even if she is beaten to silence. Either there is love or kindness! Is this number two on the beauty list going to be taken away?
The tea came to an end while the two of them were bickering and watching a play.
The three of them had just left the teahouse when a pair of horses and men came towards them on the streets of Beicheng. The man riding a white horse in the lead was dressed in rich clothes. He had a resolute face and full of aura. He was three-quarters handsome and seven-quarters powerful. The white horse under his crotch was a northern prairie horse. The limbs are strong and slender, good at running, the coat is fine and smooth, which is good for perspiration, and the eyes are gentle. The breed is probably a cross between a domestic horse and a wild horse. The horse is full of energy and snorts continuously, so it is considered to be among the best.
Behind him on the white horse were a dozen soldiers with swords and shields in two rows. They were all solemn. Although they were not as aggressive as the proud soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, the morale alone was still quite shocking, causing pedestrians to retreat and watch.
The man on the white horse dismounted after more than ten steps, took the reins and came in front of the three people. He held his hands towards the cat-like Princess Dali and said, "The Governor of Qingzhou has specially invited Her Royal Highness Princess Dali to attend the banquet! I hope Your Highness will give you a favor!"
She was not at all intimidated by the other party's ostentation. She scratched her head and glanced: "Who are you? How did you recognize this princess? Why do you want to go to the banquet with you?"
He said respectfully with a powerful face: "I am Wang Feng, the son of Wang Chongli, the military governor of Qingzhou. When the princess entered the city, spies noticed that many wealthy people from the world have gathered in Qingzhou in recent days. I took this opportunity to hold a feast. , invite the young generation of outstanding people to form a good relationship with the temple in advance in the world. By the way, we will discuss the matter of the rebellious minister’s son, and the whereabouts of the three temple saints who recently traveled to the East China Sea! "
When talking about "the son of the rebellious minister", Princess Dali couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhengli, who was calm and composed, then put on a smile and winked at the rough-looking two people: "It seems to be very lively! Then go and play Play!"
Wang Feng then focused her attention on the two middle-aged rough men beside her. She thought they were escorting Princess Dali's entourage and didn't pay much attention to them.
But Zhao Zhengli himself was in trouble. This quirky princess on the eighth floor was suspected of playing tricks on him.
What caught him even more off guard was that Chen Xiaoyao also echoed: "Since the princess is interested, let's go and see it!"
"..."
Zhao Zhengli was completely speechless.
