Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 410: Riding a Horse

Pei Ye obediently took the girl to the large medical building opened by Taishan Yaolu in Shaolong without saying another word.

However, the other people in Taishan Pharmacy were very gentle and polite, which made Pei Ye feel relieved. He followed the advice of the government officials and stayed there to be cared for.

The medicine house gave him a very beautiful room on the top floor, facing the wind and looking at the moon. After drinking the medicine, Pei Ye sat on the couch and looked out the window. The dark blue eaves washed by countless rains were scattered high and low, and there was almost no end in sight in the clear sky.

The black cat squatted on the window sill and suddenly recited softly: "The autumn moon is full again, and the city walls are thousands of layers at night. The long journey is enough to make me drunk, and I am afraid of the morning bell when I stay with you."

".What do you mean?" Pei Ye looked at it in confusion. This beautiful kitten seemed to have nothing to do with emotions like sadness and grief.

The black cat turned his clear green eyes towards me and said, "Aren't you starting to want to be cultured now? I'll educate you and save you from getting embarrassed."

"."

Pei Ye grabbed it by the neck with one hand and held it in front of him.

The black cat's limbs drooped. "Aren't these four sentences more suitable for the friend in the white skirt? After removing the title, Jing Qing is right. She may not have read it."

"What do you know? We are giving you our true heart."

"Oh."

Pei Ye placed it next to his pillow and fell asleep in the breeze and moonlight.

When I woke up, people from the government office were already waiting downstairs.

Pei Ye finished his meal in a few bites, feeling quite embarrassed, and came out wiping his mouth: "Master Cheng, what's the matter?"

This is a middle-aged man with fair cheeks, a handsome face like jade, and a pair of gentle and bright eyes.

It was he who led a group of people to receive guests at the city gate last night. Pei Ye had asked about it. He was a clerk in the government office. After the boy came back, he counted on his fingers for a long time. He didn't quite understand the difference between rank and power, but he was indeed only half a level lower than the governor of Bowang.

However, this man bowed first and said with a humbly smile: "Mr. Pei, just call me Yuanqi - did you get used to sleeping last night?"

".Get used to it." The scene of "Zhao Zhang" being so respectful in front of him obviously shocked the young man. He didn't dare to call the person by name. "Master Cheng, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yuanqi still smiled modestly and stepped back to make way for him. "The government office and the Immortal Platform have already discussed it. We will give you the ceremony on the Jade Sword Platform before sunset tomorrow. I would like to ask you to go to the government office first to make some preparations."

".Oh, OK, I'll follow your instructions."

The purpose of this trip was to settle the Kongtong matter, and after finishing it, he would go to Shenjing. Pei Ye did not delay and went out.

However, once he reached the street, he was startled again.

——There were two rows of thirty soldiers standing in neat rows. In front of them, a black chariot that was not bright or luxurious at all, but awe-inspiring at first glance, was parked at the door. Two snow-white and handsome horses were standing silently, a full head taller than ordinary horses.

Pei Ye didn't recognize him for the time being, but he was the "Fairy Hunter" who was only available in small quantities within the imperial court. There was blood of the Bi'an diluted in his body, and even the Dark Cloud Treading Snow Chariot from the Shijia Luoying Mountain could not be exchanged for one of them.

On the streets in the early morning, countless people were casting hidden, curious, envious, or indifferent glances - Pei Ye suddenly found himself very familiar with these glances.

Cheng Yuanqi walked to the front of the car, lowered his head and lifted the curtain for him.

Pei Ye subconsciously gripped the sword at his waist before walking out from the shadow under the eaves. He forgot to say thank you after getting on the carriage. Cheng Yuanqi then got on, closed the door, and sat quietly opposite him.

Pei Ye suddenly found this angle very comfortable - he knew clearly that there was someone there, but they would not make eye contact. On the edge, but there, as if as long as he didn't want to speak, the other party would never disturb him.

But it was still hard to get rid of the sense of impoliteness, Pei Ye smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "This is too much of a show, in fact, we can ride a horse or walk."

Cheng Yuanqi smiled and said, "I don't know what you like, sir. I've given you the order this time, and next time we'll do something more casual."

"."

Pei Ye actually wanted to say that he had legs too, so he didn't need to prepare anything when he went out. But at the same time, he felt that this kind of treatment must be more than a reward simply given to those who had made meritorious contributions, so he shut his mouth for a moment.

It was lighter and more stable than any other vehicle he had ever ridden in. He relaxed his body and leaned against the backrest - surprisingly, he felt more comfortable than ever before.

They arrived at the government office gate in silence. The sun was a little higher. When Pei Ye got off the car, Cheng Yuanqi had already held up a large black umbrella at the side.

"."

Pei Ye smiled, and now he didn't feel how conspicuous he was, because everything here was in line with the pomp of this carriage. The spacious, flat, and quiet white stone avenue, with the majestic and huge government office located on the side, was different from Bowang Prefecture, which was integrated into the streets. Pei Ye had already felt that there were few people half a quarter of an hour ago, and it was like another world when he arrived here.

"The government office that handles civil affairs in the prefecture is at the back." Cheng Yuanqi seemed to see his confusion and explained gently, "This is the big government office that serves the entire Shaolong Road."

".oh."

People in fancy clothes occasionally came in and out. It turned out that everyone had an umbrella, but this train was still the most eye-catching one. Pei Ye followed Cheng Yuanqi's request and stepped into this magnificent yamen.

The shade of the ancient trees was only for a short section, and then it was confined to the garden. All the buildings on sight were bright and majestic. Pei Ye did not understand the architectural style, nor could he distinguish the various official ceremonies, but he already felt that something was invisibly regulating everything.

I don't know if it's an illusion or if there really is a formation covering it.

Pei Ye looked at the uneven eaves curiously, and Cheng Yuanqi had brought him to an independent courtyard. The courtyard was neither big nor small, and it felt simple and ancient. There were some ordinary flowers and plants on the ground, and an old pine tree was bent in the corner.

Cheng Yuanqi closed his umbrella under the eaves and raised his hand respectfully: "Mr. Pei, please."

Pei Ye looked around and pushed open the door: "Master Cheng, what is this place?"

"This is where Lord Changshi usually rests."

".oh!"

Cheng Yuanqi walked in: "I just asked Taishan Medicine House, they said that it will be difficult for the young master to recover from his injuries in the short term, but fortunately the healed parts are indeed stable."

"Yes, it hurts, but my movements are not affected at all."

Cheng Yuanqi nodded and asked, "The Chief Secretary said that you may have to face off on the Jade Sword Stage tomorrow. What do you think?"

Pei Ye was stunned: "Okay."

The answer he had prepared really didn't match the tone of the inquiry at all.

He added: "It's okay, I often fight with injuries."

Cheng Yuanqi smiled, and then said seriously: "Sir, don't make it a habit to be forced to do things, and you still have to take care of your body."

".Thanks."

"This is the first thing that the Chief Secretary instructed. He transferred a [Green Emperor Pill] from the treasury. It is right here." Cheng Yuanqi moved an ancient and precious jade box on the table to the young man. "Generally, you can take it directly. Mr. Pei can also ask Taishan Medicine House for advice first. In short, take it before noon tomorrow, and your body will not be hurt by the sword anymore."

".Oh, thank you, Lord Sui." Pei Ye had never heard of this name, but he knew it was extremely precious. "This pill..."

"The sect doesn't have it. It's the imperial court's pill."

"Oh."

"The second thing is to ask you to take a look at the awards that will be given." Cheng Yuanqi handed the young man a piece of paper with seven or eight items written on it. "The most important thing is the qualifications of Yan Jian and Shao Long of Xianrentai."

"You are traveling around the world, and the authority of the Immortal Platform is very convenient. We will first give you an idle position in the government office, and then send you to the Immortal Platform, so that you will not be too restricted by the assignment." Cheng Yuanqi explained, "The latter is because the Chief Secretary said that you probably want to stay in Shenjing for a few years, so we asked for the only 'A-level' recommendation. After entering the capital, what position do you want? We will then negotiate with the Northern Yamen. Of course, if you want to stay in Shaolong, we can get a better position."

Cheng Yuanqi was talking slowly beside him, but Pei Ye had already been stunned in front of the paper. When he said "the most important are the inspection and recommendation", Pei Ye stared at the last item with his eyes wide open.

"One hundred taels of gold, and the Guanshan Sword Tower on the main street in the north of the city." "Of course, there is also the qualification for the Sword Academy. It's actually useless to you, but it's better than nothing after all." Cheng Yuanqi said, noticing the young man's gaze, and apologized, "Yes, you can see that the back is just some filler wealth. But in fact, it's because Lord Sui helped you turn most of the unfulfilled things into the sword selection meeting. He convinced a lot of people these days."

"."

Cheng Yuan smiled modestly and expectedly, "He said it was the 'Wind of Blue Clouds', so I think it won't disappoint you."

".No, not disappointed. Not disappointed."

"Yes, Lord Changshi really can't spare the time these two days, but he told me yesterday that he will talk to you tonight. If you have any ideas, you can discuss them with him then."

"it is good."

"The third thing." Cheng Yuanqi stopped talking halfway. Pei Ye also heard footsteps outside the wall, and then he stopped outside the courtyard gate and knocked gently on the door.

Cheng Yuanqi walked out with his collar lifted: "Fuyun, what's the matter?"

A young man's respectful voice: "Cheng Shuwen, Mingzhu Waterside has sent another visiting card, hoping to meet you."

"If you can't meet me, just refuse it."

"How?"

"It's just like returning to Luoying Mountain."

Cheng Yuanqi walked back and smiled at Pei Ye, shaking his head: "They all want to get close to Lord Changshi. In fact, none of us have contacted each other. The Shaolong Sword Dao Golden Book is an absolutely fair and serious list, but they don't know and are suspicious, and they are just afraid of falling behind."

Pei Ye nodded, not quite understanding.

"The third thing is about tomorrow's Jade Sword Terrace." Cheng Yuanqi said, "You may have to face Xiang, Nan, Cui and seven or eight others. The Chief Clerk said you probably don't recognize any of them, so I sorted out some information from the Immortal Terrace for you to look through - they are all decent stuff, and I know you definitely don't want to go astray."

"Oh, thank you very much." Pei Ye came back to his senses after seeing the sword fight. "I was planning to go to various arenas today. I have never seen such a large sword fight."

Cheng Yuanqi nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed necessary to watch the competition. Moreover, today is the final of each of the ten competitions. The winners will be included in the Golden Book and participate in the Jade Sword Arena tomorrow. I think you will not find it boring."

"No, no, I'm just here to watch the fun."

Cheng Yuanqi smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Pei is so humble and peaceful that I have never seen him before in my life. Sorry for disturbing you for a long time. That's all. If you want to watch the competition, I will take you there. If you want to rest and walk around in the government office, that's fine too."

"Ah, I'll go now. Thank you very much for your hospitality."

Cheng Yuanqi smiled and shook his head again, but said nothing. He still held up the umbrella and followed him out.

"There's really no need to send Master Cheng off! I can go back by myself!"

Cheng Yuanqi smiled and said, "Then I'll take you outside the yamen."

The two men walked out of the courtyard side by side. The young man walked in front, and the man with a calm demeanor followed behind, holding a black umbrella and leaving the government office along the same route.

"See you later, Master Cheng."

"Well, take care, we'll see you again someday."

Pei Ye said goodbye and left, and then heard the man behind him say, "Master Pei."

"Ok?"

"Others may think the government office is very imposing, but you should treat this place as your own home. In Shaolong City, if you have any problem, you only need to say a word."

".profound."

Pei Ye walked out of the wide and straight street, still a little dazed. He stood looking at the crowd and suddenly realized that he only remembered to be polite but forgot to ask where the arena was.

Just when he was about to ask someone dressed in martial arts clothes, he heard a cold voice beside him: "Little hero, here."

Pei Ye turned his head and saw Qu Xin sitting in a handsome brown carriage, waving at him without any expression.

"Ms. Qu, why are you here?" Pei Ye was very polite to her now.

"I also wanted to watch the competition, so I sat down."

".Is this the carriage going to the ring?"

"Yes, Master Pei, I saw you entering the city with this girl last night, and I asked about her when I saw her here."

"Ah!" Pei Ye realized that the young man sitting on the shaft was the voice called "Fuyun" just now, "Who are you?"

"Cheng Wenshu just said that you probably want to watch the tournament, so he sent me to prepare the carriage and the viewing area." The young man smiled and said, "This one is very low-key, please get in."

".Thank you very much."

Pei Ye got on the carriage, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that people always have to use their brains and legs. If someone really lived this kind of life every day with everything prepared in advance, how much would it cost?
"How comfortable it must be." said the black cat, lying on his shoulder.

"What a useless person!" Pei Ye rolled his eyes and leaned comfortably on the backrest.

Turning to look at Qu Xin, he smiled and said, "So it's someone else's carriage. Miss Qu, you are really rude..."

He stopped himself in time and didn't say the following joke, he sat upright and looked ahead.

Unfortunately, he was still caught.

Qu Xin looked at him and said, "You slept in our building last night and didn't pay us."

".How much is it?"

"Seven taels a night."

"Why did Miss Qu suddenly want to watch the competition?" Pei Ye asked with great interest, "Will there be any medical books on it?"

"I saw how their bones were broken and their bodies were pierced."

"."

Pei Ye was silent.

After a while, he thought about it again. This seemed to be a real question. He asked earnestly and curiously, "Miss Qu, does Taishan Yaolu practice martial arts?"

This girl can use the mysterious needles, so she is at least a sorcerer, and he can also feel her abundant true energy, but still, being able to control the true energy and being able to fight are two different things. Judging from her age and medical skills, she should be like Miss Ming, who has been studying medicine since childhood and has not worked hard on spiritual arts and martial arts.

"build."

"You're repairing it too?"

"build."

"Oh." Pei Ye was a little surprised and asked curiously, "Then you can fight with others. Do you know swords?"

He looked at the girl.

Qu Xin looked at him quietly: "I understand a little bit."
