The next morning, there were still three days before Xu Que planned to escape the capital.
Originally, he thought it would be enough to deal with these knights and knights, but at this time, two more great scholars happened to appear.
The life-saving charm is temporarily unavailable, but there are three ways you can try!
Xu Que dressed neatly and left Baihua Building. When passing by the inner city wine shop, he specially prepared some "good wine".
Although he doesn't like these "sour plum soup", those celebrities should like it.
He plans to visit a famous scholar today, and this famous scholar is Zu Shanhe!
Xu Que thought very simply. If he couldn't get a life-saving talisman, he would get a thug. The so-called three routes must include thugs, second, flattering minions, and third, to build momentum for himself!
Mingqing Lake in Outer City
When Xu Que arrived at the ancestral mansion, the door of the ancestral mansion had just been opened, and a young scribe came out carrying a book basket.
"May I ask, young gentleman, if Mr. Shanhe, the great scholar, is at home?" Xu Que took a step forward and said respectfully.
"Grandpa slept late last night and probably won't wake up until noon. Do you know this young master's surname?" the young scribe asked in return.
"My Excellency, Xu Que, is here to pay a special visit to Senior Shanhe." Xu Que replied.
"Oh, it turns out you are Xu Que. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you." The young scribe smiled and saluted: I am Zu Xian, a student of Dayan Academy. "
"Brother Xian, you are so proud." Xu Que returned the favor again with a smile.
Xu Que wanted to complain, brother, your courtesy is too much...
"Since you call me brother, I won't be polite. I thought you were just like those high-ranking disciples." Zu Xian looked at Xu Que with a smile: "Brother Xu, please come in. I will call my grandfather myself."
"Brother Xian, don't you need to go to the academy?" Xu Que asked as he followed Zu Xian.
"Don't worry, my grandfather was still reciting two of your poems yesterday. He said that if we were half as talented as you, it would be worth his while to die." Zu Xian said with a smile.
Xu Que was immediately speechless at these words... He originally thought that Zu Xian was an academic and ritualist, but after chatting for a few words, his true nature was revealed.
"Brother Xu, sit down first. I'll call my grandfather right away." Zu Xian made a gesture of invitation, and then ran towards the east courtyard.
Xu Que entered the main hall, his eyes wandered around, and then fixed his eyes on the mural in the center.
So much fog!
The white space in this landscape of mountains and rivers is so exquisite!
Just when Xu Que wanted to take a closer look, a hearty laugh rang out, and then an unkempt old man wearing a Confucian scholar's shirt walked into the main hall.
"Haha, good boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zu Shanhe said, patting Xu Que's shoulder heavily.
"Ah?" Xu Que was a little confused. He didn't understand what the old man was waiting for him at all.
Zu Shanhe saw the shock on Xu Que's face and understood instantly: "You kid, when I went to your house to announce the good news, your father didn't tell you?"
"Oh, my father did tell me that day. I didn't expect it to have such a meaning." Xu Que told the truth.
"Well, it seems your father didn't count on me." Zu Shanhe stroked his beard slightly unhappy.
"Senior, please explain clearly, I really don't understand." Xu Que respectfully asked.
Zu Shanhe glanced at Zu Xian: "You have nothing to do here, go to the academy quickly."
Zu Xian was confused. He just wanted to meet the living "Colorful Poetry Scholar" and ask a few questions, but his grandfather drove him to the academy...
Watching Zu Xian leave with a reluctant look on his face, Zu Shanhe casually waved his left hand, and a scribe's barrier appeared instantly.
Feeling the power of this barrier, Xu Que knew in his heart that he was a class!
Zu Shanhe naturally didn't know what Xu Que was thinking. He poured a cup of herbal tea, drank the tea and said, "Your father is a warrior and knows little about literati. Before he left the capital, he wanted to take you with him. Although I don't know Why did you stay? But judging from what happened in the past few days, it should be your kid’s fault."
Xu Que smiled innocently and expressed his acquiescence. After all, this matter can be seen after careful analysis.
"Although the method is good, it is too cruel." Zu Shanhe put down the teacup: "But it is understandable. After all, we also understand what Qu Zhongyi did."
"The prime minister wants to step on our Xu family. This matter is no longer a secret. I have something to ask for when I come here." Xu Que stood up and said respectfully.
"You kid." Zu Shanhe smiled bitterly: "Your original plan was to bring down Mingde Tower and then walk away, but you found that not only people from the world were chasing you, but also two great scholars, right?"
"I didn't expect senior to already know. I hope senior can help me." Xu Que looked at Zu Shanhe sincerely.
Zu Shanhe stroked his beard and shook his head: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. If it's one-on-one, it's fine. If it's two-on-one, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent."
Hearing Zu Shanhe's words, Xu Que's heart instantly froze...
He thought that relying on Zu Shanhe could resist the two great scholars... but the result was not what he thought at all.
"Boy from the Xu family, don't give up. Didn't you give your knight's gift yesterday to a warrior?"
"Ah?" Xu Que came to his senses and had no idea what Zu Shanhe meant.
"Do you know who he is?" Zu Shanhe asked with a smile.
Xu Que shook his head. How could he know? He knew the other party's name: Woodcutter.
"You boy!" Zu Shanhe said with a smile: "He is Cao Qing, the former guarding general of Xifeng Mountain. He is the same as your grandfather. When the late emperor died of illness, he resigned. Now he seems to be a bad old man. But his martial arts skills are outstanding, and according to others, he seems to have entered the immortal body."
Xu Que was almost frightened to death when he heard that the old man had reached the realm of immortality!
You must know that the realm of a warrior can be divided into eight realms, including: refining essence, refining qi, refining spirit, copper skin and iron bones, transformation realm, artistic realm, immortal body, and harmony!
The most important thing is that the strength of the immortal body is equivalent to that of a half-saint, which is something that others cannot achieve in their entire life!
If the Half-Saint and the Immortal Body were to fight, the Immortal Body would naturally not be able to defeat the Half-Saint. After all, the Half-Saint had already made his move before the Immortal Body could take action. But if the Immortal Body were to defeat the Great Confucian... it would definitely be a challenge. Beat them!
"Senior, how can we find Senior Cao Qing?" Xu Que asked quickly.
"It's easy to find him, but you have to meet his three conditions before he is willing to help you." Zu Shanhe said with a smile.
"Wait..." Xu Que suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap, and these people had dug it in advance!
"Haha." Zu Shanhe let out a hearty laugh, then removed the barrier and shouted to the outside: "You old guy, it's time to come out!"
After listening to Zu Shanhe's words, Xu Que immediately looked towards the door.
And just when his eyes fell on the door at the same time, a figure appeared instantly, and the person who came was none other than Cao Qing!
"Junior has met senior." Xu Que saluted with his fists clasped, using the martial name.
"Yes, very good." Cao Qing nodded with satisfaction and sat across from Xu Que: "Actually, we don't want to get involved in your Xu family's affairs, but if you can show off to me as a knight, you and I can be considered acquainted."
Xu Que was speechless. If he hadn't seen the opponent's martial arts skills yesterday, he wouldn't have wanted to send him off well...
"Senior Shanhe mentioned three conditions just now. I wonder which three they are?" Xu Que asked respectfully.
"The first one is to write a poem for him." Cao Qing pointed to Zu Shanhe.
The corners of Xu Que's eyes twitched. This was obviously what Zu Shanhe wanted, right?
"The second one is for you to find the best wine in the world for me. The period is tentatively set at four years!"
After hearing the second item, Xu Que directly patted his chest and said, "This is no problem. As long as I leave the capital, you can come to Zheyang County to pick it up in three months."
"Nonsense!" Cao Qing said angrily: "I want the best wine in the world, not the bastards outside!"
"It's the best wine!" Xu Que said with great certainty, "I brewed this wine myself, and it's guaranteed to surpass all the wines in the world!"
In fact, Xu Que has wanted to make wine for a long time. Compared with the sour water "sour plum soup" in this world, he really can't stand it.
Cao Qing and Zu Shanhe looked at each other, and Cao Qing asked: "You know how to make wine? And you can guarantee it is the best wine?"
"I guarantee this with my head. As long as I can leave the capital and return to Zheyang County safely." Xu Que's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
