It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 26 Zhuangzi
The next day, early in the morning.

Lu Yuan was sitting in an ordinary carriage.

Originally, because of Zhao Qiaoer's corpse poison, Lu Yuan was going to stay in the Zhao Mansion for six or seven days.

However, since Li Qingluan delivered the medicine yesterday, Lu Yuan was naturally no longer needed.

Today Lu Yuan is going to a farm thirty miles away from Taining City.

Zhao Qiaoer has made all the arrangements, Lu Yuan can just go there directly.

In fact, Lu Yuan could stay in the Zhao Mansion for a while, and Zhao Qiaoer would teach Lu Yuan personally.

Zhao Qiaoer meant the same thing last night and this morning.

But Lu Yuan thought there was no need.

Lu Yuan’s current level is that of a blank slate.

It's like a primary school student who has just entered school.

Now we are learning arithmetic problems of one plus one.

If you ask professors from Tsinghua University or Peking University to teach this kind of knowledge, there will be no difference between that taught by ordinary elementary school teachers.

What's more, it's better to go out and learn earlier and see the world.

After all, even if they are the children of billionaires on earth, they still have to go to school.

There is no such thing as inviting a professor to your home to teach you since you were a child.

"Remember that box. There are cakes made of blood spirit stone in it. Eat one piece every day~"

Zhao Qiaoer stood outside the car window, looking at Lu Yuan in the car and gave instructions.

The Blood Spirit Stone is one of the top-level spirit stones. It is the most nourishing for blood and physical fitness, and is of great benefit to cultivation.

A piece of blood spirit stone the size of a fingernail costs more than ten taels of silver, which is the annual expenditure of an ordinary family of three in the city.

Zhao Qiaoer treated Lu Yuan very well. She prepared not only the Blood Spirit Stone, but also some magical weapons for Lu Yuan.

Although Lu Yuan didn't recognize those magical weapons, he could tell at a glance that they were all very powerful.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely practice hard when I get there and will never let you down."

Lu Yuan, sitting in the carriage, looked at Zhao Qiaoer and said solemnly.

However, Zhao Qiaoer couldn't help but roll her eyes coquettishly at Lu Yuan's words and said:

"What's the point of disappointing or not? It makes no difference whether there is one more or one less walker in our family.

Just be happy there. When you get bored or have had enough fun, come back immediately.

The queen will support you, our family is still short of food~"

It can be seen that Zhao Qiaoer is still unwilling to let Lu Yuan leave.

Although Lu Yuan was touched by Zhao Qiaoer's words, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Hey.

What you said really turned me into a gigolo.

Lu Yuan immediately smiled and said:

"That won't do. I'm a man and I have to take responsibility~"

Lu Yuan's words made Zhao Qiaoer laugh. She couldn't help but smiled and stretched out her jade hand to pinch Lu Yuan's face in the car and said:

"If that's the case, then I, a woman, will have to rely on you, a man, in the future~"

Lu Yuan nodded directly and said seriously:

"Okay, but I have only one request, women have to listen to me~
We have to see what we want to see~"

Zhao Qiaoer didn't think anything of Lu Yuan's serious look at first, she thought it was just a joke.

But when I thought about it again, I suddenly understood.

At this time, when Zhao Qiaoer looked at Lu Yuan again, she saw Lu Yuan looking at her with a smirk on his face.

For a moment, Zhao Qiaoer was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but scolded:

"You little bad boy, you are becoming more and more dishonest, go away quickly~"

……

noon.

Lu Yuan arrived at Majia Town.

This is the location of a manor of Yanxiang Society.

As I said before, this guild is simply the Chamber of Commerce, and the travelers are simply the bodyguards.

To put it bluntly, Zhuangzi said that it was a post station.

The guild's caravans always need a place to rest.

As the top guild outside the Great Wall, Yanxiang Guild has its own manors in the villages and towns outside the Great Wall.

The tablet of Lady Hongfen is enshrined in this village.

As long as there is the tablet of Lady Hongfen, no evil spirits will dare to attack the area outside the Great Wall.

Travelers who are tired from the journey can also rest assured and have a good drink.

This is the main purpose of Zhuangzi, which is actually a post station.

But if we say that Zhuangzi is completely a post station, that is not entirely the case.

This is just the most straightforward explanation given by Lu Yuan, a human from Earth.

Zhuangzi also has another function, which is to protect the people in the surrounding villages and towns.

This is a strange world, full of demons and evil spirits.

There is no need to be afraid of a big city like Taining City, as there are government offices, officials, and temples nearby.

Especially since it is so popular, ordinary evil spirits don’t dare to go in.

But this is not the case in the countryside.

What should we do if the villagers in this village are being harassed by evil spirits?
Go to the government office in the city?
Yes, the government offices in the city also take care of this matter, but the problem is, where can we find so many officials! Moreover, some of these places are too far away from Taining City.

If there were no fast horses, it would be hard to imagine that the officials in the yamen would be slow to respond when going from the village to the city.

Five or six days passed in total.

When I return to the village, I wonder whether the evil spirit is still there, but at least several lives have been lost.

This requires the use of Zhuangzi's walker.

The travelers on Zhuangzi's site are responsible for the evil spirits in the surrounding villages and towns.

If someone's family was disturbed or someone was suffering from a strange disease, they would come to Zhuangzi to ask for help.

This would accumulate good deeds for the guild but lose its good reputation.

The second and most important thing is that if you help the people around you, they will come to offer you support and express their gratitude.

The offerings and thanks from the people can increase the spiritual power of the "immortals" supported by the guild.

It is precisely because of this that the "immortals" can receive incense and protect the guild.

Otherwise, why would the “immortals” help you?
What Lu Yuan had to do when he entered the manor was very simple.

Lu Yuan doesn't know anything now, so he went to the manor to learn some techniques and tricks from the manor's owner.

Secondly, they have to cook and serve the caravans coming from afar.

In the future, after I have learned some skills and tricks, I will help the people around me to get rid of evil spirits.

Only when you have learned enough can you leave the village and escort the caravan.

It's like being a crosstalk apprentice. In the first two years, I can only do odd jobs, wipe tables, mop the floor, and practice basic skills.

Only when everyone below has listened enough can they go on stage.

After arriving at Majia Town, we soon came to Zhuangzi.

This manor is a standard large house with three entrances and three exits.

The inner courtyard is where the shopkeeper lives, and there are tablets of "immortals" for worship.

This central courtyard is for the black sect disciples of Zhuangzi to live in.

Generally speaking, there are at most a dozen black sect disciples in a village, and at least eight or nine.

The front yard is used for the caravan to store goods and for the travelers escorting the caravan to live and eat.

When the car arrived at the gate of the manor, Lu Yuan just got off the car and saw the unburned incense at the gate of the manor.

There are also some cakes and apples.

Zhuangzi's door was closed.

After Lu Yuan got off the car, he first carried a package on his back and then held two large wooden boxes in his hands.

Lu Yuan didn't originally have so many things, they were all prepared by Zhao Qiaoer.

Carrying the things, Lu Yuan arrived at the gate, put them down and knocked on the door.

……

"Did Lu Yuan really go to the manor in Majia Town?"

In an extremely luxurious house, Li Qingluan sat in the middle of the main hall, holding a teacup with a look of surprise.

The man opposite bowed his waist and said respectfully:

“I went there early this morning, and I think I’ve arrived by now.

We also checked and found out that this was Lu Yuan's own request when we were at the mine yesterday.

At that time, the Third Lady wanted to keep him by her side, but he was unwilling and insisted on going to the farm.

The Third Lady had no choice but to allow him to go to Majia Town."

Listening to the words of the person below, Li Qingluan snorted and said no more.

This kid is quite ambitious.

After hearing what Lu Yuan said last night, Li Qingluan thought that Lu Yuan was provoked by what she said at that time.

Now it seems that this boy does not seem like that kind of cunning person.

In this case, Li Qingluan felt a little relieved.

"How's the search for the six rare Qingling white truffles and Yunhai Lingshen going?"

Li Qingluan asked again.

This person immediately bowed and said:
“These two top-quality mountain delicacies are hard to find fresh at this time of year.

It’s only available one or two months after the mountain is closed due to heavy snow, and currently only dry goods can be found.”

Hearing this person's words, Li Qingluan nodded slightly and said:
"Dried food is dried food. Chef Du Ming of Yushizhai can make dried food into delicious soup."

After saying this, Li Qingluan thought for a while, and then continued:

"Invite Du Ming to your house tonight and let him stay here for the time being."

Currently, the only person in Taining City who has such cooking skills is Du Ming from Yushizhai.

We can't let anything unexpected happen to Du Ming.

The reason why Yanxiang Club can gain a foothold in Taining City is not only because of the overbearing "immortal" Pink Lady.

There is also the status of a royal merchant who can provide tribute to the royal family.

If Eunuch Liu is unable to eat the six delicacies and becomes unhappy...

It would be bad if Eunuch Liu gave the tribute mission to other guilds.

……

In the evening, a figure hurriedly came to the main hall of Li Qingluan and said in panic:

"Madam, Du Ming is dead..."
