In the evening, we are heading to Si Lane.

There were several plates of delicious dishes on the stone table in the yard, including the noodles soup made by Aunt Feng, including sweet and sour tenderloin, beef jerky, roast chicken, roast goose, steamed crucian carp, a plate of fennel beans, and a pot of wine exclusive to Li Mengzhou.

For Li Mengzhou's financial resources, this is an extremely luxurious dinner, which is unimaginable in normal times.

Except for fennel beans, everyone can afford it, and even eat it as snacks. For the other meat dishes, Li Mengzhou is not willing to spend money to buy food until the New Year's Day. It's not that he can't afford it, but he really doesn't want to spend that money, and he feels it's a bit too wasteful.

But today is different. Although it is safe, it is worth wasting extravagantly. Have a good meal and comfort your fragile heart.

Li Mengzhou held a bowl of steaming noodles soup, and held a chopstick for each dish. His cheeks were bulging, and the corners of his mouth were covered with oil stains. He drank a large mouthful of wine and swallowed it hard. He savored the taste buds and said with some emotion: "Although Aunt Feng has drank noodles soup every day, and he can eat some good things after morning class in the swordsman, it is not as delicious as it is. It seems that he hasn't eaten meat in several years."

The livelihood of not making money is just relying on the monthly salary paid by Tianshuyuan. With Gu Shiyan in there, Li Mengzhou couldn't save it even if he wanted to save. He didn't think it was anything, but at this moment he felt very pitiful.

Gu Shiyan still ate very elegantly. She was very good at eating, but she ate slowly. So she had had a meal that was eaten by Li Mengzhou like a snatch, but she naturally couldn't look back. Although Gu Shiyan still had not changed her elegant temperament, Li Mengzhou didn't dare to steal food anymore.

No matter how fast he ate or how unbearable he looked, the food that ended up in his stomach was not proportional. Gu Shiyan ate slowly, but most of the food belonged to her, and Li Mengzhou could only stare at the end.

Fortunately, today's supper is very sufficient, so there is no need to worry about whether you will snatch the food away, which leads to the lack of food in Gu Shiyan.

Recalling what happened in the afternoon, Gu Shiyan pursed her lips and said softly: "We cannot compete with Xuan Zhengsi. Even if you have a relationship with Tianshu Academy, if Xuan Zhengsi insists on making things difficult for you, we must have some countermeasures. We are lucky today. If the Tianshu Academy does not have time to come next time, will we surrender, or will we really draw the sword from Xuan Zhengsi in the capital?"

Li Mengzhou looked up at her and said, "Didn't you draw your sword today?"

Gu Shiyan said: "That's a matter of attitude. Actually, I'm just pretending."

Li Mengzhou: "..."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead speechlessly and said, "I really didn't see this. I think that Zhu Zaitian thought you could draw a sword, and his face turned pale with nervousness."

Gu Shiyan picked up a chopstick and chewed it slowly, and then said calmly: "Although I do want to, sometimes I always have to bow my head to reality. I am not confident that I can shoot my sword against the Minister of Xuan Zhengshi and can stay safe in the capital afterwards."

Li Mengzhou nodded, "That's true."

Even if Gu Shiyan is not a stable person, it doesn't mean that she is really lawless. It doesn't matter in Yanzi Town, but she doesn't have the ability to make her lawless in the capital, let alone facing the giant Xuan Zhengsi. Li Mengzhou thought that even if Gu Shiyan could easily defeat Zhu Zaitian, the matter would become more complicated later. In addition to being unable to offend Xuan Zhengsi, she could also bear the consequences of complete exposure.

At present, Xuan Zhengsi is just suspicious. Perhaps he has other purposes, but he is involved in the case of Dan Tai Jing. If he is not careful, he will confirm the evidence. Not to mention whether Tianshu Court can save him, he is afraid that with his identity as "Qingjiu", Tianshu Court will be blamed. After all, he is responsible for failing to observe his subordinates.

Li Mengzhou once again lamented that his strength was too weak. There were many strong people in the capital and there were many big figures who could not be provoked, especially institutions with real power in the court. Faced with these, he did not even have the ability to protect himself.

It is inevitable to improve your practice, but this cannot be done overnight.

Li Mengzhou has never slacked off in his practice, but unfortunately he has not found the opportunity to break the realm. He is already at the limit of the upper realm of Chengyi, and only one piece of window paper is left before breaking the realm. However, this piece of window paper seems very hard and cannot be broken at all.

Thinking that there are more and more troubles in the capital, the desire to break the realm is becoming more and more urgent. But the so-called impatient thing cannot eat hot tofu, and may even fail to achieve haste. Instead of having problems in practicing in the future, you should still have to calm your mind and find the most stable key to break the realm as soon as possible.

Gu Shiyan lowered her eyebrows and ate the noodles quietly, but there was still a hint of uneasiness between her eyebrows. She looked at Li Mengzhou opposite and said softly: "Xuan Zhengshi will definitely take action. If she had an ulterior motive, she might not really look for evidence openly, at least she would do something secretly. As long as Xu Hexian doesn't take action personally, I have nothing to be afraid of, but you are different. Any minister of Xuan Zhengshi can easily kill you."

Li Mengzhou looked up at Rimu Xichen and said, "Most of the ministers of Xuanzhengsi are in the four realms, and they are not even short of those who have entered the upper realm. Before I broke into the peak of the third realm, these people were indeed a mountain, but as long as I broke into the realm, the great monks who had just entered the fourth realm may not be able to be killed. I am very confident about this."

Gu Shiyan admires Li Mengzhou for being a little blind and confident. At least shameless people are indeed more delicious in this world.

She said seriously: "The most difficult thing for cultivators in the world is to cross the border and kill enemies, especially above the fourth realm, because the gap between each small realm is too big, unless you are so evil that you can cross that distance, but there are very few people like this. Although this is not a completely fantasy thing, any monster can do it, but where do you get such confidence?"

Li Mengzhou said in surprise: "Am I not a monster?"

Gu Shiyan nodded and said, "If it were another explanation, you are indeed a monster."

Li Mengzhou's face was black and dark, and I suspected that you were scolding me, but I had no evidence.

He was a little depressed and took a few mouthfuls of his face and said vaguely: "I am different from others. What others cannot do does not mean that I cannot do it. I can definitely do what others can do, and I can do it better."

Gu Shiyan whispered: "You are really shameless."

Li Mengzhou suddenly smashed the noodle bowl on the stone table, "I'm very sure you're scolding me this time!"

Gu Shiyan glanced at him sideways and said, "So what?"

Li Mengzhou continued to eat noodles, "It's okay, the so-called beating is kissing and scolding is love. Although I don't love you, it doesn't prevent you from loving me." Gu Shiyan: "..."

Resisting the urge to draw the sword, Gu Shiyan silently put the sword she had subconsciously picked up back to the stone table, and said coldly: "The distant water cannot cure the near thirst. Your opportunity to break the realm has not come, but the people from Xuanzhengsi may appear at any time. Maybe you should seek the secret protection of Tianshuyuan, or find the gentlemen of Ligong Jianyuan."

Li Mengzhou glanced at the sword that was put on, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "After all, Xuan Zhengshi is an excuse to handle the case, and we are suspicious. Tianshu Court is not good for appearing in Chaosi Lane openly. Even if it is secretly protected, it is not in accordance with the rules. After all, the capital is not in power in Tianshu Court and Xuan Zhengshi."

"Besides, there is only the third senior sister in the Sword Academy. I guess I can't invite her. As for the teacher, I guess he will scold me if I go to ask for help. I think people like Xu Hexian can't take action personally. Even if we don't need to ask for help, we won't have any solutions. Let's deal with it when we see a move. At worst, it's really not possible. I'll go to the teacher to help."

......

......

In Jiang Country, a small village.

The stars are like the sea, the bright moon is silver and white.

The barking of dogs is far away.

There were a few fat chickens pecking at the yard, and a boy squatted on the ground, plucking the soil and piled up the hills, enjoying it.

There was a very shabby wooden table in the yard, three low chairs, and two low chairs were sitting, an old woman and a young girl.

There was a candlelight in the room, and the silver moonlight shone brightly, illuminating the courtyard.

The old woman was wearing a coarse linen, with rough skin, wrinkles piled up on her face, and a bloated figure, but a smile was on the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were completely narrowed, making her amiable.

The young girl was wearing a blue-red spliced ​​dress with excellent fabrics, and her long black hair was simply tied behind her head, perfectly showing her cold and peerless face, with her skin as cream, which was breathtaking.

If the old woman hadn't given all the delicious food and clothing to her granddaughter, they would have obviously not been a family.

On the shabby wooden table, there were only a few plates of pickled pickles and tofu stewed with vegetables, steamed buns made of coarse grains, and girls with temperament and dress were not disliked. They silently chewed steamed buns and picked pickles.

The girl is a guest, passing through a small village and temporarily lives in the old woman's house.

Few people visit old women at home, and there is never such a beautiful girl. An old woman with simple character likes such a pretty girl very much when she sees such a pretty girl.

The girl ignored the old woman's gaze at her, looked at the boy playing with mud, thinking that there were only two grandparents and grandchildren in this family, maybe the child's parents are gone, and life should be very difficult.

It’s true that you are poor, but it’s not as difficult as it is. After all, you won’t be short of rice or grain every day. There are vegetables in the yard, and you won’t be hungry all year round.

But after all, there is no stable source of income, so it is a bit difficult to live and wear.

Compared with the people in most areas of Northern Yan, it is a very happy thing to be able to eat enough every day. The girl has a different status and has never been troubled by money and food and clothing. However, she has been used to the hard days of many people. After coming to Jiang Kingdom, she found that this place is indeed a brilliant place. Although there are poor people, it is already very good that the poorer ones are relatively poor.
