The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 89 If you don’t do it, I’ll whip you with a whip

Ugly time.

The lanterns in the courtyard had already been extinguished because the candles burned cleanly.

The mahjong on the table has also been neatly placed in the box.

There is no open flame in the stove in the house, but the heat is still spreading slowly, making the house still warm even if the windows are open.

In the side room, Yao Yue stood quietly by the window, one hand behind her back as usual, and the other hand held a wine bottle.

She was obviously inside the house, but it made people feel as if this woman was standing on the clouds at this moment, always carrying a feeling of being floating and high and needing to be looked up to.

When you take a sip of the wine, the aroma of the wine slowly lingers.

The wine enters the throat, and the medicinal power warms the body.

She raised her face lightly, and as Yao Yue's eyes fell on the bright moon hanging on the branches, her thoughts kept replaying what she had experienced in the courtyard and the tavern today.

After a while, Yao Yue's eyes moved slightly and focused on the open window of the main room.

"Extraordinary medical skills, proficient in the use of poisons, and a good mind. I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting person in a small place like Hanshan City. It's not a waste of time to come to Hanshan City."

Not to mention Li Changqing's conversation today and the wisdom he showed when distinguishing Wan Sanqian, Li Changqing's medical skills and ability to use poisons, as well as these medicinal wines with unique medicinal effects.

Any one of them is enough to make Li Changqing famous.

Rather than being as anonymous as it is now.

He has the ability to be famous all over the world, but he is willing to live in a corner and hide in a tavern.

This abnormal situation made Li Changqing a little more mysterious in Yao Yue's eyes.

And this also made Yao Yue a little more curious about Li Changqing.

Curious, this layer of mystery shrouded in Li Changqing will be unveiled.

When a person suddenly becomes interested in something or a person, his interest often becomes extremely high.

Even the mood will be good.

Just like Yao Yue at this time.

After a long time, as the wine bottle became empty, the window in Yao Yue's room slowly closed.

However, not long after Yaoyue's window was closed, the door of Huang Rong's house was suddenly slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a head popped out of the crack in the door.

After looking around, the little girl tiptoed out of the house.

After walking to the front yard, he jumped across the yard and rushed outside.

Xicheng, outside the courtyard two streets away from Li Changqing's courtyard.

Through the vast darkness of night, a figure quickly walked through the alley.

When passing by a house with two white lanterns hanging at the door, the white long skirt and the emblem of the Yihua Palace on the long skirt looked particularly eye-catching under the light.

After arriving in an alley under the West City Gate, the Yihua Palace disciple looked around and then suddenly pushed open a room and entered.

After a few breaths, the rustling sound of conversation slowly came from it.

It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that the lights in the room were turned off again.

Immediately afterwards, two figures, a man and a woman, came out of the room one after another.

After looking around cautiously, the two of them moved in different directions.

However, the two people walking against the wall below did not notice at all that behind them, there was actually another Yihua Palace disciple following them from a distance.

The next day

early morning.

After a day of sunny weather, before the snow around Hanshan City had melted away, dark clouds began to gather slowly over Hanshan City again, preparing for the next heavy snowfall.

In the courtyard, Yao Yue and Lian Xing stood apart from each other with their eyes slightly closed.

But the difference is that when Lianxing closes his eyes, the true energy like water and mist is slowly flowing out of Lianxing's body and surrounding Lianxing in a peculiar route.

Yao Yue in the courtyard seemed to be in a nap at the moment, without any fluctuations in her true energy.

Only when her eyes were closed, Yaoyuehui raised her hand to make gestures from time to time.

For martial artists, as their cultivation level gets higher, in addition to hard training, the improvement of their strength also requires their own understanding in terms of martial arts.

And the higher the level of martial arts practiced, the more so.

For talented masters like Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei, they are already familiar with the martial arts moves they have learned.

If the two of them want to continue to improve in martial arts, they must continue to fight against others to seek breakthroughs in actual combat.

Or just like a chess master who is proficient in Go, rely on your own understanding to understand.

As far as Huang Rong knew, when her father, Huang Laoxie, was on Peach Blossom Island, his cultivation would be the same as Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei now.

It looks like he is pretending to be asleep, but in fact he creates an imaginary enemy in his mind and uses his tactics to attack him.

It's just that this level is too high, and Huang Rong is far from reaching it.

Only when Huang Rong can have a martial arts that reaches the level of "mellow and smooth" can she try to change from movement to stillness in practice and no longer stick to the practice of moves.

After watching for a while, Huang Rong walked into the courtyard and closed her eyes to practice.

However, as if she felt a sense of familiarity from Huang Rong's practice, Yao Yue, who had her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards Huang Rong.

After a few breaths, looking at Huang Rong's footwork, Yao Yue had a hint of surprise in her eyes.

""Two Appearances and Four Elephants"?"

Then, after glancing towards Lianxing, Yao Yue couldn't guess how Huang Rong knew "Two Etiquettes and Four Elephant Steps"?

However, at this moment, Huang Xuemei, who had gone out a quarter of an hour ago, suddenly walked slowly from the front yard into the inner yard.

After glancing at Huang Xuemei, Yao Yue Liu frowned slightly and let out a cold snort before closing her eyes again.

However, just when Huang Xuemei entered the hospital with her front feet, a whistle suddenly spread into the hospital.

Hearing the sound, Lian Xing in the courtyard opened his eyes, and with the movement of his true energy, he floated outward like a paper kite.

After a hundred breaths, Lian Xing, who returned to the courtyard, flashed to Yao Yue's side.

The true energy in the body fluctuates constantly.

But he used his true energy as a barrier to isolate the sound.

Faced with the two men's actions, Huang Xuemei just glanced at them briefly and then looked away.

It was not until the end of the morning that Li Changqing, who had slept until he woke up, slowly got up and washed himself.

After washing and eating breakfast, Li Changqing sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.

While sipping the tea in the cup, his eyes were also on the few people practicing in the courtyard.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

A beautiful woman is like a scene, a beauty is like jade, and the world is a beautiful place.

For men, there are only two most beautiful scenery in the world.

One is the view of overlooking all living beings in the world when you are at the top.

The other one is a beautiful woman who can stay with him until his death.

Although the current relationship between Yao Yue and Li Changqing in the courtyard is far from being together.

But being able to wake up early in the morning and see such beautiful beauties as Yao Yue, Huang Xuemei, and Lian Xing can also make people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

It was also in the world where Li Changqing was quietly sipping tea, admiring the flowers, the wind, and the beauties. Time was also passing quickly.

When the sun was rising, Li Changqing, who had been sitting for almost two hours, put down his tea cup and stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

As he walked, Li Changqing said to Huang Rong, "Okay, let's go to the kitchen. I'll teach you a new dish today."

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Huang Rong, who was practicing in the courtyard, stiffened, and then said in a cheerful tone: "Here we come!"

After saying that, Huang Rong jumped up and ran directly to the kitchen door.

His face was full of anticipation and excitement.

Not only Huang Rong, but Lian Xing in the courtyard also had a look of obvious anticipation on his face.

At this time, Yao Yue asked: "Rong'er's cooking skills were all taught by Mr. Li?"

Facing Yao Yue's question, Lian Xing shook his head and said, "Rong'er knew how to cook before, but Mr. Li will give instructions based on the dishes Ron'er cooks, and sometimes he will teach Ron'er how to make some new dishes."

After a pause, Lianxing continued: "But when teaching Rong'er how to cook some new dishes, Mr. Li will also personally cook and demonstrate to Rong'er. It will be a blessing today."

Lian Xing has never been a greedy person, but since yesterday, he has mentioned Li Changqing's cooking skills several times.

This made Yao Yue couldn't help but wonder how delicious Li Changqing's food was to earn such praise from Lian Xing. In the kitchen, looking at some medicinal powder that Li Changqing put into the bowl, Huang Rong asked curiously: "What are these?"

Li Changqing responded nonchalantly: "Wait for the medicinal powder that will be used in cooking."

"Powder?"

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Huang Rong was startled for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, "What do you mean, I can start learning medicated diet?"

However, Li Changqing poured cold water on Huang Rong's excitement without hesitation.

"Thinking too much, now you don't know enough about the heat and ingredients. You just use medicine as a condiment, which is not a medicinal diet."

Although Huang Rong's cooking skills are excellent, she still falls short of meeting Li Changqing's requirements.

Based on Huang Rong's current situation, it would take at least half a year for her cooking skills and understanding of ingredients to meet Li Changqing's requirements.

After that, you will also need to learn the corresponding pharmacological knowledge.

Even if Huang Rong had an excellent memory, almost reaching the level of photographic memory, it would still take a year to really start to get into contact with medicinal foods.

Huang Rong said with a dark face: "I don't know if your standard is true. I obviously control the heat so well, but the result is not good."

Li Changqing glanced at Huang Rong and said, "Don't you know whether it will work or not?"

Huang Rong's voice was slightly stagnant.

If Huang Rong could reach the same standard as Li Changqing in terms of cooking, she wouldn't miss Li Changqing personally cooking every day.

Afterwards, Huang Rong muttered with a dark face: "You can be proud! In a few days, the skills in Sister Yue and Sister Xuemei will be restored. I think something is wrong with the way Sister Xuemei looked at you last night."

"Maybe after I recover my power, I will tie you back to Tianlongmen and lock you in a small dark room to cook for her."

"If you don't do it, I'll whip you with a whip."

Li Changqing said casually: "I think you should not pray for that day to come, otherwise you will suffer a lot when the time comes."

Huang Rong said in confusion: "You are the one being tied up, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Changqing looked at Huang Rong and said, "Miss Huang tied me back to Tianlongmen because she either valued my medical skills or the medicinal wine I brewed."

"No matter what, it's profitable, but if I don't want to, what do you think she can do? Is it possible that she can force me to work?"

Huang Rong snorted lightly.

"We've already arrived at Tianlongmen. Isn't it easy to force you to do something?"

Li Changqing asked with a smile: "What about?"

Huang Rong's first thought was to administer medicine.

This is also the most commonly used method by various forces in the world, using special poisons to control the people under their control so that they have to work for them.

But as soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Huang Rong.

After all, with Li Changqing's medical skills, even if he poisoned Li Changqing, it is estimated that the poison he took one moment would be cured by Li Changqing himself the next moment.

As for extorting a confession through torture, it is unlikely.

Li Changqing's level of poisoning is so high. If he offends Li Changqing severely and not only fails to cooperate, but secretly poisons him, Tianlongmen will lose both his wife and his troops.

As the leader of Tianlong Sect, Huang Xuemei cannot do this.

From a normal thinking perspective, if you want to make Li Changqing obedient without hurting him, the best way is to use the people around Li Changqing as a threat.

As if he noticed the subtle expression on Huang Rong's face, Li Changqing looked at Huang Rong with a smile but not a smile and said: "Who do you think Miss Huang will use to coerce me into submission if she really wants to kidnap me back to Tianlongmen?" Woolen cloth?"

Even after talking about this, Huang Rong still didn't understand what Li Changqing meant.

Li Changqing is now alone and has no other relatives.

After all, she was the only maid around me.

Naturally, the only person who can threaten Li Changqing is himself.

At this time, Li Changqing said: "Only benefits are useful. There are too many people in this world who focus on benefits. The higher the use value of a person, the safer he will be, because others value the benefits from him. "

"But on the contrary, other people around this person are more likely to be affected."

"So, if someone really targets me, they will definitely try to tie you up first to make me submit."

"If Miss Huang really tied me to Tianlongmen, I would be locked up in a small dark room, but I guess you would have to bear the whip for me."

After hearing these words, Huang Rong's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly felt the urge to jump up and hit someone.

"Where can this be found?"

Li Changqing spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. It's my person that people are thinking about, and nothing else."

The reason why wealth is not revealed is because it can be robbed.

But what Li Changqing showed was not his wealth, but his talent and ability.

Those who want to take advantage of Li Changqing naturally want Li Changqing's people.

At a critical moment, there is a high probability that he will try his best to keep Li Changqing and ensure that Li Changqing is safe and healthy. How can he take the initiative to harm Li Changqing?

What Li Changqing said was not an incomprehensible theory. With Huang Rong's intelligence, she could easily tell the difference between good and bad in an instant.

It is also certain that if such a situation really occurs, it will not be Li Changqing who is unlucky, but himself.

Immediately, Li Changqing smiled and patted Huang Rong and said: "So, if Miss Huang really kidnaps me in a few days, you will definitely not be able to escape, so don't even think about it."

Seeing Li Changqing's careless look, Huang Rong gritted her teeth.

After a few breaths, Huang Rong threw the vegetables in her hands back into the wooden basin, yelled "I'll bite you to death, you bastard" and then rushed towards Li Changqing.

Seeing this, Li Changqing used "Two Instruments and Four Elephant Steps" to dodge calmly.

After a while, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the two people chasing each other on the roof.

With Yao Yue's eyesight, she could naturally tell that what Li Changqing was using at this time was also the "Two Rituals and Four Elephants Steps" from Yihua Palace.

Moreover, there is a special charm and smoothness and naturalness in the movement of this step, which clearly means that the "Two Rituals and Four Elephants Steps" have been practiced to the "superb" level.

When Yao Yue first practiced "Two Rituals and Four Elephants Steps", it took him nearly a year to practice this martial art to the "superb" level.

Thinking of this, Yao Yue couldn't help but look at Lian Xing.

"In other words, Lian Xing and him have known each other for a long time?"

But as soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Yaoyue.

If Lianxing had known Li Changqing a few years ago, the problem with his hands and feet would not have been cured until now.

Thinking of this, Yao Yue looked at Lian Xing and asked, "Did you teach him his "Two Rituals and Four Elephants Steps"?"

Lian Xing nodded and responded: "In order to thank Mr. Li for healing my hands and feet half a month ago, my sister taught them "Two Etiquette and Four Elephant Steps" and "Hundred Leaf Picking Flower Palm" to them."

Hearing this, Yaoyue's face changed slightly.

"Has he practiced "Two Rituals and Four Elephants Steps" before?"

With Lianxing's understanding of Yao Yue, how could he not understand what Yao Yue wanted to ask at this time?

He immediately shook his head and said, ""Two Etiquettes and Four Elephant Steps" and "Plucking Flower Palms from Hundred Leaves" have not been published in the past hundred years. Mr. Li has never learned them before."

"It's just that Mr. Li has a transcendent understanding. After reading "Two Instruments and Four Elephant Steps" and "Hundred Leaf Picking Flower Palm", he immediately mastered these two martial arts to a "mellow and satisfactory" level."

"In the next half month, I practiced diligently every day. I just practiced "Two Rituals and Four Symbols Steps" to the level of "superb perfection" a few days ago."

"Sigh~"

Knowing that Li Changqing only spent half a month to cultivate the low-level martial arts to a "superb" level, even Yao Yue couldn't help but feel a little shocked, and she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. , and the look he looked at Li Changqing was a little more horrified.

Huang Xuemei's reaction at the moment was not much better than that of Yao Yue.

As the head of a top force, Huang Xuemei naturally knows something about the martial arts of other top forces in the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is not as famous as the two heaven-level martial arts "Mingyu Gong" and "Yihua Jieyu" of Yihua Palace, it is still famous.

Mainly for the cultivation of the elders in Yihua Palace.

Therefore, Huang Xuemei also knew that these two martial arts were low-level martial arts.

According to what Lian Xing said just now, Li Changqing actually cultivated a low-level martial arts to a "superb" level in just half a month.

Who wouldn't be horrified to know such a talent?

"With such a talent, if he is brought back to Tianlongmen to be cultivated, in the future..."

For a moment, Huang Xuemei looked at Li Changqing on the roof and couldn't help but her eyes became a little warmer.

Ps: Thank you for everyone’s understanding. Although I’m not completely healed after taking it, the pain is relatively less and I’m back to normal. Ten thousand words update! The author will find time to make up for the 6,000 words he owed before!
