I Just Won’t Play by the Book

.. Under the shade of willow trees, a small wild tea house is very lively.

This kind of rural and wild teahouse is said to be quiet and elegant as its selling point. Most of them are earth houses, and then use reed foil to support the ceiling, build soil as tables and stools, sand-wrapped teapots, and yellow-sand tea bowls, brewing purple black of bitter tea.

Sitting in this almost open-air teahouse, look at Yunjuan Yunshu, listen to frogs and birds, and of course, the bragging and farting sounds of rural wild olds are also indispensable.

"Let me tell you, my friend is amazing. He was three-year-old Congwen, four-year-old martial artist, five-year-old proficient in poetry and poetry, six-year-old invincible in the whole town, eight-year-old proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Nine years old..."

"Hey, wait, why did your friend go when he was seven?"

"Seven? He's been recovering from his injuries for a year."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Listening to the cheerful laughter in the teahouse, Jiang Beiran sat in the farthest position and drank tea quietly.

"Hello, two guests, please come in, come in, what kind of tea would you like today?"

"We're looking for someone."

"Okay, please go inside first, which guest are you looking for to wear, I..."

"No, I found it."

After thanking Xiao Er, Li Fucheng took Huo Zhishang to the direction where Jiang Beiran was sitting.

You definitely can't call the emperor directly in public, so Li Fucheng thought about it and shouted "Big Brother Wang".

"sit down."

After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Er and said, "Two bowls of snow chrysanthemum tea."

"Okay, wait a moment."

When Xiao Er left, Huo Zhishang immediately folded his hands and said, "I am very honored to see Tianyan again. When you go out, please allow me to kneel and kowtow three times to thank Your Majesty for your kindness in finding your son."

The day after Huo Zhishang found Qian Xiaodong, he wanted to come to thank the emperor in person, but was persuaded by Li Fucheng, because he knew that Brother Wang definitely didn't like Huo Zhishang so rashly went to the palace to find him.

So I wrote a letter of thanks for Huo Zhishang to Jiang Beiran, and expressed Huo Zhishang's desire to thank him in person.

Because Jiang Beiran was busy with planning the book at the time, so he wrote back a letter saying that there is no need to thank him in person, and he will talk about it when he has a chance to meet him later.

So this time Li Fucheng came to Jiang Beiran, and Huo Zhishang had to follow whatever he said.

Jiang Beiran waved his hand: "Three kneels and nine kowtows will be avoided. It's just a matter of raising your hand, just remember what you said."

"Of course! Under this seven-foot body! The rest of my life will be driven by His Majesty!"

At this time, Xiao Er came over with two bowls of snow chrysanthemum tea and put it down, and said with a smile: "Two guest officers take it slow, if you want anything else, just tell me."

When Xiao Er left, Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and said, "Why are you looking for me this time?"

Li Fucheng took a sip of tea, looked left and right, and then said softly: "Brother Wang, one of the members of the meeting was arrested by the Plum Blossom Sect a few days ago. We thought about it for several days, but we didn't think of a way to rescue him, so it's shameful again. I've asked Brother Wang for your help."

As soon as Li Fucheng finished speaking, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Promise to help Li Fucheng. Completion reward: Listening to the Moon Treasure Art (high-grade Xuan-level)]

[Option 2: "Fucheng, I'm very disappointed in you.". Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

'It seems that this Plum Blossom Sect is in trouble. ’

After choosing the second, Jiang Beiran sighed and shook his head: "Fucheng, I'm very disappointed in you."

[Optional task completed, reward: Strength +1]

"Boom!"

In just a few words, Li Fucheng felt like he was struck by lightning, and even his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

'Yeah...what am I thinking and doing! ? ’

As he read these two sentences in his heart, Li Fucheng's eyes couldn't help but become slack.

I set up this World Association in the first place to help Big Brother Wang one day, but now not only has it not helped me, but I even always ask Big Brother Wang for help.

The reason why Big Brother Wang didn't reject me directly, but said he was disappointed with me, shows that he was optimistic about me at first, but he didn't expect me to be such a waste.

‘Thinking about it carefully, I didn’t do my best at all about Huan Mingyuan’s being kidnapped. I just came to Big Brother Wang for help because I felt the risk was too high. This is simply an escape! I even want to transfer the risk to Brother Wang! ’

‘Lifu City, Lifu City! What the hell are you doing! ’

With a slap on his cheeks, Li Fucheng saluted Jiang Beiran: "I'm sorry, Brother Wang, it was Fucheng who let you down. I'll leave now. If I can't solve this problem by myself, I won't have the face to see you again. ."

After speaking, Li Fucheng stood up abruptly and pulled Huo Zhishang, whose expression was equally heavy, and left.

'The effect is so good...'

Seeing Li Fucheng leave so resolutely, Jiang Beiran knew that this time he would definitely "do not break the Loulan oath or pay it back".

Although what he said just now sounded a bit like a flag, for a person with the fate of the protagonist, such a small flag should be innocuous.

After drinking a sip of wheat tea, Jiang Beiran watched a bird fly out of the bird's nest and swept into the woods not far away.

'That's fine, it's time for Li Fucheng to solve some of these troubles independently, otherwise I'll really be their leader in this world. ’

Putting down the three coins, Jiang Beiran got up and walked out of the wild teahouse slowly.

Back in the palace, Jiang Beiran sat in front of the dragon case and started writing

Shu, the initial implementation of the county reform plan is going smoothly now, but this is only the initial stage. When the patriarchs can taste the sweetness, the reform will really begin.

"Dong dong."

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Beiran replied without raising his head, "Come in."

With a "squeak", the Nanmu door was pushed open, and Mu Yao walked in carefully carrying a food box.

Carrying the food box to the dragon's case, Mu Yao said, "I asked Qianqian to teach me how to make a few small dishes and plan to go back to honor my eldest father. One... I did it by accident, so I will share some with you."

Putting down the pen, Jiang Beiran looked at the eye food box and asked with a smile, "This is your first time cooking?"

Mu Yao poked her fingers and stammered: "Yes, yes... yes, it will be Dad's birthday in a few days. I want to surprise him. I didn't do it for you, I just don't want to waste it."

"Oh." Jiang Beiran nodded, then picked up the pen again and said, "If you don't eat it, take it."

Mu Yao became anxious and shouted, "You! You won't eat without looking at it!"

"How can it be delicious to cook for the first time, I am only interested in food."

"Humph! If you don't eat, you won't eat." Mu Yao shook her head and ran out of the study with the food box.

Seeing the senior sister running out of the study, Kong Qianqian, who was hiding behind the door, asked, "Why so fast, does your majesty say it's delicious?"

"He's not lucky enough to eat the dishes made by Miss Ben! Nuo, it's all for you!"

After Mu Yao finished speaking, she stuffed the food box into Kong Qianqian's arms.

Looking at the senior sister who ran away quickly, Kong Qianqian carefully opened the lid and saw a plate of indescribable things in the food box.

'Um? My teacher sister made shredded potatoes, why is it green? ’

Taking the "shredded potatoes" out of the food box, Kong Qianqian stared at it for a while, but did not see how this dish could be made like this.

Taking a deep breath, her curiosity drove Kong Qianqian to pick up her chopsticks and want to try it, but her survival instinct finally made her give up the idea and put the "shredded potatoes" back into the food box silently.

"call……"

Just when Kong Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a gaze staring at her, and when she looked up, she saw Senior Sister hiding behind a tree and looking at her with fierce eyes, her eyes expressing only one meaning.

"Eat it!"

Kong Qianqian first smiled naively, then picked up the food box and ran towards the outside of the palace.

"stop!!"

Feeling the breath of Kong Qianqian running farther and farther, Jiang Beiran, who was perfecting the plan, shook his head, and at the same time couldn't help showing a smile.

‘I can’t think of anyone who can make dark dishes with such a high degree of restoration. From a certain point of view, it is an amazing talent. ’

Two days later, Jiang Beiran sat on the auspicious clouds and came to the Covered Moon Sect. Unlike the last time when the crowd was full of people, the Covered Moon Sect at this time gave Jiang Beiran a quiet and peaceful feeling.

Jumping off the cloud, Jiang Beiran slowly walked to the gate of the Covering Moon Sect.

A gatekeeper wearing a blue-gray sect clothing came up to look at Jiang Beiran, then cupped his hands and said, "Is the person here the emperor of Shengguo?"

"Yes, I was invited by Sect Master Guan." Jiang Beiran nodded.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me."

Seeing that the gatekeeper disciple was so polite, Jiang Beiran knew that Guan Shian must have explained it specially, otherwise, with the pride of the first disciple of Fengzhou, it would be good not to look at him with his nostrils.

Following the gatekeeper disciple all the way to the main peak, Jiang Beiran finally came to the familiar sect master's mansion after being guided by another inner disciple.

"Please wait here, I will inform the hall master." Said the inner disciple who led Jiang Beiran in.

"I'm sorry, brother." Jiang Beiran nodded.

After a while, Guan Shian, who was wearing a crane robe, led a few middle-aged people to the middle hall, and looked at Jiang Beiran who stood up and saluted and said with a smile: "Sit and sit, don't be polite, come here and come to your house. Same."

Of course, Jiang Beiran couldn't really sit down directly, but he still bowed his hands and said, "Meet the Sect Master Guan."

"Alright, sit down."

Seeing Guan Shian sitting on the master seat, Jiang Beiran sat down again.

"Beiran, I'm calling you here this time to introduce you to the backbones of the Moon Occult Sect behind me. If you have any business discussions after the retreat, just ask them."

When these three people appeared just now, Jiang Beiran quickly looked at them and found that one of them was Tai Yingzong, the Zuo Xiang who he once had a relationship with in Luoxia Town.

"You should still have an impression of this left minister." Guan Shian asked Tai Yingzong, who was standing beside him.

"Of course I remember." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he arched his hands towards Tai Ying and said, "I have seen Tai Zuoxiang."

Nodding towards Jiang Beiran, Tai Ying smiled and said, "As soon as we said goodbye last time, I knew we would meet again soon."

Seeing the two of them say hello, Guan Shian suddenly stood up and said, "Since we all know each other, then Ying Zong will tell him about the next thing, and I will continue to practice."

After saying that, Guan Shian left immediately.

left……

opened……

now...

'Do you want to be the master of the hands-off so vividly! ? ’

Although Jiang Beiran controlled himself not to show an expression of consternation, Tai Yingzong still smiled and explained to his sect master: "The sect master has recently learned about the exercises, even if the sect master has never come out to preside over the sect meeting, this is why he is eager to retreat. reason."

three words

In the middle of the sentence, Tai Ying even expressed that the suzerain's sudden departure is not to neglect you, but that he has already given you a great face by being able to come.

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then please ask Tai Zuoxiang to convey congratulations to Sect Master Guan on my behalf."

"Good to say, good to say."

Then Tai Yingzong introduced the identities of the other two to Jiang Beiran.

One is Zongnei Huyin, whose name is Cang Wenlin, and is responsible for the personnel transfer of the Covering Moon Sect.

One is Zongnei Mengzheng, whose name is Shen Yuebin, and is the foreign spokesperson of the Chouyue Sect, that is, a diplomat.

After getting to know each other, Tai Ying opened his mouth and said, "Then I'll tell you straight to the point, the reason why the sect master called you is because of my proposal, and the reason why I want to chat with you is because... I saw yours. ambition."

Jiang Beiran, who was about to take a sip of tea, was stunned for a moment. Facing Tai Yingzong's naked words, he thought for a moment before smiling and said, "I just don't want to take care of the Sect Master's entrustment and let all the people of Shengguo have enough to eat."

After listening to Tai Ying, he smiled and said, "Isn't this an ambition to make the people of Shengguo have a full meal?"

Hearing the meaning of Tai Ying's remarks, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized that if Guan Shi'an is the face of the Covering Moon Sect, then the core, or the person who really runs the sect, should be the one in front of him.

"What Tai Zuoxiang said is that if you say such an ambition, I do have it."

After drinking a sip of tea, Tai Yingzong continued with a smile and said, "As far as I know, you seem to be planning to make some big moves in Lulin County, can you tell me in detail?"

'Okay...you really pay attention to me. ’

Although Jiang Beiran called all the patriarchs of Lulin County to discuss important matters, it sounds like a big deal, but only people in their county know about it. If people in other places are not particularly concerned, they should not know.
