Chapter 173 The world's first floor? This person should be beheaded
In the restaurant, Zhou Ji was chatting with Gao Yao about the Ye Mingzhu, stopped while talking, turned to look at a carriage outside the door, Gao Yao was still feeling overwhelmed by Yi Xiaochuan’s delay in stealing the Ye Mingzhu Anxious, seeing Zhou Ji calm down, he followed him subconsciously, just in time to see Prime Minister Li Si getting off the carriage.
"Master Li?" Gao Yao restrained his mind and planned to go up to greet the distinguished guest, but he saw that Li Si didn't come after getting off the car, but turned around and helped another man in his forties down.
Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and smiled at Gao Yao: "Old Gao, the one who breaks the game is here."
"That's right~ Li Si is the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. With our friendship with him, it should not be difficult to entrust him to ask His Majesty for a luminous pearl from the barbarian tribe." Gao Yao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Why didn't I Think about it?"
"I'm not talking about him." Zhou Ji grabbed Gao Yao by the collar and dragged him back to his body, pouted, "I'm talking about the one beside him."
"The one next to you?" Gao Yao took a look, and vaguely saw that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, and there was an extremely rare arrogance in his brows. Although he had never seen it before, but judging from his temperament and Li Si's actions, he should be an extraordinary person The big man frowned and said, "That man just looked at him, Lao Zhou, have you met him before?"
Zhou Ji shook his head, chuckled and said, "I've never seen him before. But I know who he is."
"Emperor Shi, Yingzheng." Zhou Ji withdrew his gaze and said to Gao Yao nonchalantly, without continuing to show off.
Gao Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes widened and he asked, "Is he Qin Shihuang?"
Zhou Ji didn't answer, but gently pushed Gao Yao, signaling him to come forward to entertain the guests.
Gao Yao was pushed forward a few steps, looked back at Zhou Ji, but found that he was no longer behind him, so he had to turn around and meet the two people who entered the door.
With Zhou Ji's reminder, Gao Yao was quite careful in his words, not daring to neglect in the slightest.
"Li Xiang, the lobby is noisy, the villain has already prepared a private room on the second floor, please move upstairs, how about it?" Gao Yao said Li Xiang, but glanced at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng's trip was considered a private visit on Weibo. Seeing that Gao Yao's eyes were wrong, he immediately realized that his identity might have been exposed.
But the other party didn't take the initiative to ask about it, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to expose it. He coughed lightly and glanced at Li Si.
Li Si heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, received the sight from Ying Zheng, looked around and said, "There is no need for the private room, I have been in the carriage all the way, and I am tired of the cramped carriage. The downstairs is also very good , spacious and empty."
Gao Yao led the two of them to their seats, and said with an apologetic smile, "I wonder what the two distinguished guests would like to eat?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw more than a dozen young customers in smart clothes coming in from the door. Even if they were not wearing armor, they could feel that they were from the military from the murderous aura exuding from their bodies. When they entered the door, they sat around and sat down like eagles. Sharp eyesight, clear division of labor to observe the restaurant environment.
The corner of Gao Yao's mouth twitched, and he completely believed Zhou Ji's words. He looked at Ying Zheng with even more awe, and noticed Gao Yao's gaze. A restaurant claims to be able to cook any dish whose name can be named, so Boss Gao might as well cook a few dishes that I have never tasted before."
"The villain is terrified. There are no delicacies in the world that you have never tasted." Gao Yao leaned over and said, "However, the villain was born in a remote mountain village, and there are a few specialties from his hometown, which can be regarded as having a special flavor."
Ying Zheng stared at Gao Yao's bowed back figure, and said with a smile, "The signboard is so ostentatious, but he is quite timid. This person is quite interesting."
After all, it was in the restaurant lobby, and there were so many people, Li Si didn't dare to call Ying Zheng his majesty, so he stroked his beard and smiled and said, "I don't know, this restaurant is jointly opened by Boss Gao and another fellow villager, and the first floor in the world The name was given by that fellow countryman."
Ying Zheng looked indifferent, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"This person should be beheaded."
Li Si's heart skipped a beat.
Everyone knows that His Majesty has a strong desire to control and is not a broad-minded monarch in character. Someone dares to open a restaurant with the theme of "No. 1 in the World" under his nose. In the face of this current Prime Minister Li.
But Li Si knew better, this Mr. Zhou Ji Zhou was a **** among gods, and he must never be killed!
If this person is angered, wouldn't His Majesty's princes laugh out sadly?
Li Si wanted to speak up to defend Zhou Ji, but he remembered that he had promised the other party not to expose himself to His Majesty, so he hesitated when he heard an ethereal voice from upstairs.
"The purple air comes from the east, and the dragon fights in the wild. Seeing the dragon in the field, it is beneficial to see the lord. Your majesty is indeed an emperor through the ages. Why do you want to fight and kill people like me in the mountains?"
As soon as the voice fell, the entire lobby of the restaurant fell silent instantly. Ying Zheng frowned suddenly, looked around, and found that the time in the lobby of the restaurant seemed to be suspended. As if unknown, he just kept the posture of pouring wine and froze in place.
Even though the long street outside the door was still noisy, a chill still rose from Yingzheng's back, and when he looked up again, he saw a person walking from upstairs, every step seemed to be on the air, like a long step, It stretched from upstairs to in front of Ying Zheng.
"Who are you?"
Ying Zheng looked at the scene in front of him in horror. After finishing speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the side.
Sweeping away from the corner of the eye, the person who was still pouring the wine just now lifted the jug, looked around with a puzzled expression, and everyone beside him laughed.
Everything has been restored to its original state, as if the time that was just stagnant never existed. Only a few people showed confusion and doubt, but it can only be explained as drunkenness.
"Zhou Ji is also another owner of the restaurant."
Zhou Ji bowed and sat directly opposite Ying Zheng.
"Are you a fairy?"
Ying Zheng tried hard to keep calm, but the constant flickering of his eyes revealed that he was not at peace.
"No." Zhou Ji smiled and added, "Not for now."
Ying Zheng immediately caught the key word 'temporary', and said anxiously: "Then do you know the art of longevity?"
Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, glanced at Li Si who was nervous, and said with a smile: "What can be called longevity? I can live the same life as the heaven and the earth, and live forever forever."
Ying Zheng looked disappointed.
Zhou Ji continued: "Ten thousand years is too long, and it is a problem to live for three to five thousand years in a youthful posture."
"Three to five thousand years is enough." Ying Zheng stretched his brows, and leaned over to worship Zhou Ji, "I also ask the gods to teach me the art of longevity. I am willing to regard the gods as the master of the Great Qin Dynasty and share the world."
Zhou Ji caressed his chest, felt the nine-eyed dzi in his heart, and the scene when he first met someone appeared in his mind. He shook his head and said quietly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the fate of human beings. How can there be any injustice?" The way to live forever? Unless you stop being human."
What would you do if you were not a human being? Fairy?
Uh. I just thought of this sentence someone said to me. You don’t have to react so much, right?
Seeing the misunderstanding between the two, Zhou Ji smiled bitterly, but did not explain anything.
Now, what else can he say?
Tell Ying Zheng that he had all kinds of experiences with a woman in modern society, and then tell him that when he knew that Si Teng planted her in his heart, he felt a little regretful and a little lucky?
These words have indeed been held back in Zhou Ji's heart, but the person he wants to confide in is by no means the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a beard in front of him.
Similarly, Zhou Ji had already planned to take Tianxing into his pocket, so naturally he would not tell the other party that when Tianxing came to the world soon, Cui Wenzi would use the fragments of Tianxing to make the elixir of life. This would be the last chance for the other party.
"In short, Your Majesty doesn't need to focus on the elixir of life. Rather than fantasizing about these unrealistic things, it is better to cultivate one's body and cultivate one's character. Learn from Huang Lao's self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Although it doesn't lead to longevity, it can also prolong life."
Ying Zheng frowned, still a bit unwilling to say: "If it is true what your Excellency said, then the elixir of life that the sorcerers and alchemists spread in their mouths are all lies?"
Zhou Ji remained silent.
Ying Zheng was dubious in his heart, thinking that Zhou Ji was unwilling to teach the skills of immortals, so he suppressed his thoughts and asked about Huang Lao's skills instead.
Qin State uses legalism to strengthen the country, govern the country, and pacify the world. From Qin Xiaogong to the present, every monarch has believed in legalism. Now that they are unified, they still implement wartime laws. The severity has long made the people miserable.
If Ying Zheng becomes a Taoist from now on, maybe he can relax a little bit the tighter rope tied around Qin Chao's neck.
Zhou Ji didn't know whether he was doing right or wrong, but he knew that Qin State had gone through the original track once, and trying another way might not be a bad thing for this country that was about to die suddenly.
The two chatted for a while about Taoist health preservation. Seeing that Li Si's face was getting uglier, Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, got up and said goodbye to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to persuade him to stay, but Zhou Ji's figure flickered and disappeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Gao Yao, who came out from the back kitchen with a plate, saw His Majesty sitting at the table in a daze, looking at the empty front, with an uncertain expression.
Gao Yao looked left and right subconsciously, but didn't see anyone there, so he came from behind the curtain with a smile on his face, and introduced the braised pork in his hand to Ying Zheng.
Halfway through speaking, Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "Boss Gao, I heard that there is another Boss Zhou in your restaurant, are you still from the same town?"
"That's right." Gao Yao said with a smile, "The person your nobleman mentioned is Zhou Ji. We are indeed from the same place, but we never knew each other before. We only met by chance in a small town two years ago."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, took a piece of diced meat, and took a bite.
"The food is good, very good." Ying Zheng smiled happily, and looked at Gao Yao with soft and friendly eyes, "Is Boss Gao interested in working as a cook for me?"
Suddenly the figure of Yi Xiaochuan appeared in his mind, Gao Yao put his legs together, shuddered, and declined politely: "Your honor is joking, but the villain has no such plan for the time being."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to come over, I can make you different from them. Different." Ying Zheng looked at Gao Yao meaningfully, and his deep eyes seemed to see the figure who had just left through Gao Yao.
I just want to make some new dishes to please you, and see if I can get a night pearl as a reward. I don't want to enter the palace and enjoy the "half price of the second root" discount with Yi Xiaochuan.
Gao Yao wanted to cry, so he declined again with a compensatory smile. Ying Zheng also saw that Gao Yao was worried, so he didn't continue to invite him, and instead focused on savoring the food on the table.
I don’t know if I don’t eat it. When I eat it, I am startled. Ying Zheng looks up at Gao Yao, and even has the idea of directly confiscating him into the palace and leaving him in the imperial dining room.
In the end, worried about that Immortal Zhou, Ying Zheng suppressed his thoughts, and smiled instead: "If you really don't want to, I can't force you, but I will send some cooks to learn how to cook with you in a few days." , must not have the slightest secret."
As long as you don't enter the palace, you can do whatever you want.
Gao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and again, and promised that Ying Zheng would give him everything, and Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
Inside the palace.
Jade beauty side hall.
Yi Xiaochuan sneaked into the courtyard with ease, and just passed through the long corridor, he saw a group of imperial guards leaving from the side hall, and one of them was holding a wooden box in his hand.
Yi Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart, he hurriedly walked into the hall, and as soon as he entered the side hall, he saw Yu Shu looking at a cabinet shelf in the side hall with a complicated expression. The ball has been opened now, and the inside of the ball is empty, only a plain silk handkerchief with a shallow dent in the center.
"Where's Ye Mingzhu?"
Yi Xiaochuan picked up the ball, turned to look at Yushu, with a hint of questioning and annoyance in his tone.
Yushu understood Yi Xiaochuan's complicated mood very well, and she also knew that Yi Xiaochuan asked for Ye Mingzhu to save people.
Although she felt pity for the other party, she was also grateful in the bottom of her heart.
From Tu'an to Xianyang, along the way, Yu Shu saw the vastness of Qin's territory and the strength of its national power.
Especially since entering the palace, she has always regarded herself as a dependent, fearing that if she does not do well, it will bring disaster to her tribe.
Deqing didn't listen to Yi Xiaochuan a few days ago, and didn't scrape Ye Mingzhu into powder.
If the imperial guards of the emperor came to take the orb just now and found that the size of the Ye Mingzhu had changed, she would not dare to bet or guess whether it would anger His Majesty.
"Sorry, our agreement can't be carried out." Yu Shu frowned, "I wanted to ask His Majesty for the Ye Mingzhu after he returned to the palace, but unexpectedly, before His Majesty returned to the palace, he sent someone to take the pearl away, saying yes To reward others, I don’t know exactly where to send it.”
how so.
Yi Xiaochuan's mind froze for a moment and he was on the spot.
Ye Mingzhu is gone, what about the scar on Xiaoyue's face?
Xiaoyue hasn't come to him these few days, and he has been avoiding Xiaoyue all the time, just waiting to get Ye Mingzhu to prepare her a potion for removing scars, so that he can have a real chance to apologize and redeem his sins.
Now that the Ye Mingzhu was taken back by His Majesty, and he didn't know who to reward, it would be even more difficult to steal it.
(A little overestimated myself, the next chapter is too late, try to make up for it on the weekend.)
