Chapter 130
Southern suburbs of the city, Prince of Qinghe's villa, in the Lacquer Garden pavilion.
"You've become like this, what are you still doing coming to find me?"
Looking at Aunt Liu, who was wax-white on the stretcher, Li Dan looked indifferent and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Sister Hong Qu... Dou Gengyan ran away; she was taken as a disciple by the Divine Nun of the South Sea and taken away." Aunt Liu said.
She sent Xiao Yu back to Hongxiu Pavilion, had Old Lu find a carriage, and sent herself to the southern suburb villa of the Prince of Qinghe.
"The Prince already knows; Sister Hong Qu's matter ends here." Li Dan said.
Aunt Liu was not surprised at all.
But the Prince knowing is the Prince's business; she, as the person in charge of Hongxiu Pavilion, coming to report the first time someone is lost is her duty.
"I don't know what instructions the Prince has." Aunt Liu said.
Li Dan sighed: "Facing the Divine Nun of the South Sea, the Prince can only let it be; what can you do?"
Aunt Liu was silent for a moment and asked: "What is the background of the Divine Nun of the South Sea? According to Little Fengxian, her attire is very strange; she looks like a nun but not like a nun."
"They said it themselves; it's the lineage of Mount Putuo Luojia in the South Sea." Li Dan said.
Aunt Liu looked shocked, "Mount Putuo Luojia is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
"Whether it's true or false, we can't afford to offend them; don't worry about her." Li Dan said.
"Sister Hong Qu has quite a bit of resentment toward my Western Shu and the Prince." Aunt Liu said.
Li Dan said lightly: "The Prince and her father Dou Yilin were old friends for twenty years.
The chaos of the thirty-six countries was just because their positions were different; there was no private feud.
When Gengyan, the virtuous niece, grows up, she will naturally understand this truth."
—I hope so... anyway, I haven't offended Sister Hong Qu; when she returns as an immortal, she will definitely not take a flying sword and stab me.
Aunt Liu thought this way in her heart and added: "Little Fengxian worshipped Divine Physician Min as her master."
"Divine Physician Min? What is she thinking?" Li Dan frowned.
"She wants to learn medicine, or rather learn the Dao, the medical Dao of Divine Physician Min that taps the pulse and cuts off the energy." Aunt Liu said.
Li Dan thought for a while and said: "If she wants to learn, let her learn; Wan Shoushan has the rules of Wan Shoushan; Divine Physician Min cannot pass on the medical Dao to her."
Aunt Liu hesitated and said: "I'm not worried about what Little Fengxian will learn; I'm afraid she will be targeted by people from the 'Eight Immortals of the West.'
And she runs out often; if she runs wild, in the future, if she does something out of line..."
If Xiao Yu were an ordinary girl in Hongxiu Pavilion, she would strictly discipline her.
She had countless ways to train girls to ensure the other party corrected their mindset.
But Xiao Yu's strength was not weak, and she had saved her life.
If she let her "run wild" like this, the ending definitely wouldn't be very good; Aunt Liu knew very well how terrifying the Prince of Qinghe was.
"The matter of the Eight Immortals of the West, don't talk about you; even the Prince is powerless this time; it depends on her own fortune."
Li Dan sighed and added: "Also, don't worry about her having a big heart and a wild temper.
The Li Manman of the past was far more stubborn and proud than Heavens Yu Fengxian.
Little Fengxian's talent and opportunities are not bad, but can she compare to Li Manman?
As they grow, their understanding of the world becomes more comprehensive.
The more they know, the more they will understand a simplest truth—honestly listening and being someone useful to the Prince is the best choice.
I can tell you a secret.
The Prince appreciates Little Fengxian very much; if she can survive the revenge of the 'Eight Immortals of the West,' it is not impossible to bestow the 'Li' surname on her and accept her as an 'adopted daughter.'
As the Prince's princess, being a bit wild, a bit proud, and acting a bit out of line is actually as it should be."
"I understand."
Aunt Liu was thoughtful.
The Prince of Qinghe's expectations and tolerance for Little Fengxian were much higher than she thought.
As the Prince's adopted daughter, and even bestowed the "Li" surname, she definitely couldn't be constrained by the requirements of a "daughter of the Teaching Pavilion" anymore.
But the Prince's adopted daughter is also not easy to be!
To be a princess of the Shu Kingdom, one must at least survive first; dead people cannot be princesses, nor do they have any utility value.
The next morning, Soy Sauce Alley.
"At that time, the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng used the 'Heaven and Earth Infinite Invincible Universe Great Shift' that makes gods and Buddhas afraid and demons and immortals terrified..."
Xiao Yu stood on the threshold of Widow Huang's house, holding a bowl in her right hand and half an oil pancake in her left, first waving her left arm forcefully, using the oil pancake to point at Old Man Li, Sun Ergou, Mother Zhang, Sister Cuier, and others who were listening intently, eyes wide open, but with a trace of suspicion, "You absolutely cannot imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.
But you can imagine, the heavy treasure of the Shu King, guarded by countless imperial guards, was still easily stolen by the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng—is it scary, is it terrifying?"
Mother Zhang looked shocked and nodded: "As expected of the Heaven and Earth Infinite Invincible Universe Great Shift."
"Little Feather, continue, what happened after seeing the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng use the Great Shift?" Sun Ergou urged.
"Seeing the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng use divine skills to make trouble, I was furious in my heart and immediately roared—"
To set off the atmosphere, she also tapped the edge of the bowl lightly, and after a "clang," she continued: "How dare you, you thief, dare to steal the treasure of the envoy of the upper state; Heavens Yu Fengxian is here, why don't you surrender!"
"No way, you clearly said you couldn't beat a human immortal, how dare you speak to the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng like that." Cuier said suspiciously.
Xiao Yu pointed at her face with half an oil pancake and sneered: "Use your brain to think carefully; at that time, the envoy of the upper state was on the side; even a fox can pretend to be a tiger, why can't I roar at the Thousand-Hand Qianshou Dao Sheng?"
Mother Zhang nodded: "Makes sense; government soldiers aren't afraid of thieves, Little Feather is young but not weak, and the envoy of the upper state is on the side, no need to be afraid."
Xiao Yu took a sip of bean juice and continued: "The real big scene kicked off from there; Master Suiyuanzi used the Samadhi True Fire; do you know what 'Samadhi True Fire' is?"
Everyone shook their heads, their eyes opening even wider, their eyeballs black and white.
Even "Ergouzi" in Widow Huang's arms was staring with round eyes at the half oil pancake in Xiao Yu's hand.
"Lit~tle~ Feng~xian~~" a long, drawn-out call came from behind the wall, "Aunt Liu is calling you for breakfast~~~"
"I'm already eating breakfast!"
Xiao Yu turned her head and replied, intending to continue talking endlessly, telling the story of the "Hongxiu Pavilion Assassination."
"Little Fengxian, come back!" This was Aunt Liu's voice.
Xiao Yu was helpless and said: "To know what happens next, see you tomorrow morning on time."
After speaking, she tapped the edge of the bowl lightly again, "Clang~~"
The crisp echo was still drifting, and Xiao Yu had already jumped up, jumping three zhang high silently, landing on the wall, and disappearing after a few leaps.
"Little Feather's light-body technique is becoming more and more elegant." Widow Huang praised.
Sun Ergou hesitated: "What Little Fengxian said seems a bit different from what I heard on the street."
"Heh, Little Fengxian is the only survivor involved; who else could know better than her?" Mother Zhang said vaguely while shoveling rice porridge into her mouth: "Wait until I finish eating, and I'll go to the street to talk about it.
We heard it from Little Fengxian herself, it will definitely make them surprised and then convinced."
"Why do you run to the back alley every day, not even eating breakfast in peace."
Aunt Liu sat in a wooden wheelchair, pushed by a middle-aged aunt with big hands and feet.
Xiao Yu handed the oil pancake to her and said: "Look, Widow Huang's pickled garlic sprouts, fried with eggs in sesame oil until golden brown, taste great when sandwiched in an oil pancake, especially when paired with sweet bean juice."
"You still dare to dislike Hongxiu Pavilion's breakfast? This is a deep-fried white flour pancake; do you know how many people have never seen one in their lives?" Aunt Liu's tone was a bit excited.
When she was a child and hadn't been sold to Tianmen Town, she really hadn't eaten an oil pancake in her life.
"I'm just saying it tastes better with roasted garlic sprouts, how am I disliking it?"
Xiao Yu finished the oil pancake in a few bites and asked: "Aunt, are you calling me for breakfast? Your injuries haven't healed yet, why run around everywhere?"
White flour oil pancakes were actually not a rarity in Tianmen Town.
Tianmen Town was too wealthy; white rice was four taels of silver per stone, sesame oil was eight li per catty, and a fat pig was one tael two or three qian (ps). After Widow Huang's husband entered the Luye Guard Iron Cavalry Camp, he was already allocated one hundred mu of land, and after his death, she first received a pension of two hundred taels of silver, and from then on, until she remarried, she could receive five taels of silver in military pay from the government office every month (equivalent to one-third of her husband's military pay).
"I'm here to inform you that the Imperial Envoy Dongfang is about to cross the river and come."
If it weren't for the great importance, she would also want to lie in bed and recuperate for a few months.
Xiao Yu said in surprise: "The Imperial Envoy Dongfang of the Great Qin? Didn't they say they wouldn't arrive until August?"
Immediately afterward, she thought about it and said: "Is it because Old Ancestor Qingsong was assassinated?"
"Regardless of the reason, the Imperial Envoy of the upper state will arrive at the East Port of Tianmen Town this morning; you must appear in the welcoming team and be ready to be summoned by the Imperial Envoy at any time." Aunt Liu said.
"Are you going, Aunt?" Xiao Yu asked.
"The Imperial Envoy probably won't see me, but I still have to go. I would rather toss us around all day than let the Imperial Envoy have a moment of inconvenience." Aunt Liu said helplessly.
Xiao Yu had been in Tianmen Town for some time, and only today did she truly open her eyes.
"My God, how can that person be so tall!" Xiao Yu lay on the carriage window, her eyeballs almost popping out.
Perhaps because the Shu Kingdom government encouraged more people to go to the port to welcome the Imperial Envoy of the upper state to show the grandeur and enthusiasm of the welcoming ceremony, the road to the East Port of the city was crowded with people.
It was crowded, but many people didn't look like ordinary people at all.
Not far ahead of them, there was actually a giant nearly twenty meters tall.
The city wall of Tianmen Town was only one "head" higher than the giant...
That big guy lifted a foot bigger than a carriage and climbed over the city wall directly.
Just like an ordinary person climbing over a courtyard wall.
"Ignorant barbarian, he is a long person from the Long Person Kingdom, named 'Big Foot'."
Aunt Liu's tone was indifferent, but she lifted the curtain and watched with great interest.
"Where is the Long Person Kingdom? How did such a big guy come to Tianmen Town?" Xiao Yu muttered.
The five-zhang giant of the Great Qin was fine, after all, she remembered that in "Investiture of the Gods," the four generals of the Mo family were also four or five meters tall.
But nearly twenty meters tall... is this "Attack on Titan"?
Or the Titan giants in Western mythology?
But he clearly had yellow skin and black hair, and also had the face of an Easterner...
"The Long Person Kingdom is probably in the West Sea, an island country on the West Sea; the island is full of long people, and Big Foot is considered small. It is said that in the Long Person Kingdom, you have to grow to more than twenty zhang to be considered a 'Big Man'."
Aunt Liu pointed backward and said: "Little Fengxian, look at the black girl!"
Xiao Yu turned her head and indeed saw a black girl riding a horse.
She was not only pitch black like ink, but even the teeth exposed when she smiled were completely black.
But her eyebrows were bright red, very conspicuous, plus the red lips she applied, the goose-yellow skirt, and the silver-haired horse under her crotch... it set off the black girl even more pitch black!
Even though the black girl was very black, Xiao Yu didn't feel the shock she felt when seeing the long person "Big Foot."
"Could she be the legendary Kunlun Slave?"
"You are the Kunlun Slave!"
That black girl was sharp-eared and quick-eyed; she was originally laughing and talking with the Shu Kingdom lady wearing a bamboo hat beside her, laughing until her teeth were exposed.
But as soon as Xiao Yu opened her mouth, she immediately turned her head and glared, and shouted loudly, "Saying you are a Kunlun Slave is praising you; look at your sneaky appearance, you are a Sha barbarian? Eww~~~ barbarian!"
The black girl's expression was arrogant, and when she scolded people, the disdain in her eyes was true and without the slightest pretense.
She truly felt that she was far nobler than the Sha barbarians.
Not to mention comparing with the Sha barbarians, Xiao Yu felt that she even carried faint arrogance when talking to the Shu Kingdom lady beside her.
"Little Fengxian, don't offend the noble!"
Before Xiao Yu could retort, Aunt Liu quietly pulled her sleeve and warned in a low voice.
"Aunt Liu, are you kidding? Does this piece of black charcoal deserve to be called a 'noble'?" Xiao Yu shouted.
The black girl was furious and, across several Shu Kingdom passersby, directly whipped Xiao Yu's cheek.
The air whipped by the whip tip brought a crisp "crack" sound.
"What a barbarian black charcoal, black person and even blacker heart!"
(ps: This is the price in Journey to the West; as for the treatment of Widow Huang's husband, it refers to the Wei Wu Soldiers; it seems that after becoming a Wei Wu Soldier, one can be allocated one hundred mu of land.)
