Chapter 1,099 Please do me a favor
Looking at Nalan Guangcheng, Li Chuyi said quietly: "My master said that cultivation is about qualifications and conditions. Having the qualifications but not the destiny is in vain; having the destiny but not the qualifications is also in vain. No matter how magical the weapon is, Good things have to be done, and no matter how many spirit stones you have, they must be used up. The improvement of cultivation is related to resources but not inevitable. Take your Nalan family as an example. Your family has so many spirit stones that you can probably move out 10% of them. Ten thousand of me were smashed to death, but with so many spiritual stones, why didn’t you pile up a true immortal?”
As he spoke, he took off the rotten gourd from his waist and put it on the table. Li Chuyi pointed at the rotten gourd and said, "There is also this gourd. Don't look at it. It's tattered, but do you know what it is? This is my master. Needless to say, it’s a personal magic weapon! My master put it next to me to protect me, but the result is that I can’t use this treasure at all. I can only show its power a few times when it is willing to move. "Do you think this baby is useful? Is it valuable to me?"
Putting away the gourd, Li Chuyi said seriously: "So I have no interest in the position of Emperor Yan at all. Rights are a good thing for you, but for me it is a trouble, tiring, and affecting my practice. As for what you said Resources, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm half a traveling merchant and hawker, so I have no problem earning some for my cultivation. If Emperor Yanling hadn't sent people to keep an eye on me all day long, I would be living a happy life now. Do you think I deserve to pay for my sins? Isn’t it tiring to be a prince and emperor and worry about this and that all day long?”
Looking deeply at Li Chuyi, Nalan Guangcheng waited for a long time before slowly nodding his head.
He felt that he had a deeper understanding of Li Chuyi, and finally understood why Li Chuyi had fallen out with Mufa so easily before.
Under the guidance of Tian Daozun, Li Chuyi had no greed for power. He even thought that power itself was a boring thing. He could borrow it when necessary, but he did not want to be contaminated by it in the slightest.
Everyone knows that trivial matters in the world of mortals mess up the Taoist mind, but life is inevitably affected by the mortal world. How many people can be as calm and calm as their master and disciple?
Therefore, what Tian Daozun said is very appropriate. Cultivation is about focusing on qualifications and conditions. There is talent but no chance, and there is fate but no talent is in vain. To put it bluntly, it is all fate.
Li Chuyi has a good master in his life who can protect him, so he is so free and easy. There are other people who want to be as transcendent as him, but they don't have that good life.
Seeing Nalan Guangcheng silently meditating for a long time without saying anything, the little fat man knocked on the table to interrupt his thoughts.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You haven't answered my question just now. Is that bastard Yuwen Taihao trying to harm your daughter again?"
Nalan Guangcheng almost choked to death. A moment ago, he had a miraculous air about him, but when he turned around, he was so vulgar.
He wanted to change the topic but was stared at by the little fat man. After repeated questioning, Nalan Guangcheng couldn't escape and sighed deeply.
"It's not what you think. King Zhenxi doesn't do anything to Mingyue, but Mingyue... is secretly in love with her, alas!"
"Fuck, scum!" The little fat man was furious and slammed the table.
"That's right, a pretty boy!" Xiao Erhei also agreed with his big head.
Putting his hand on the table and leaning over, the little fat man said sadly: "Why don't you care? Yu Yao was so badly hurt by him, aren't you afraid that your daughter will be swallowed by him too?!"
No matter how you look at it, it feels more like jealousy for one person and one dog. Nalan Guangcheng did not dare to show it, and asked with some confusion: "Who is Yu Yao? Oh, it is..."
"That's right! It's the confidante who was almost killed by him! Oh, shit, the confidante is just a miserable woman!"
Seeing Li Chuyi gritting his teeth, Nalan Guangcheng understood everything immediately.
Just say where did this kid come from with so much resentment? It turned out that he was jealous and lost the battle.
After a few wry smiles, Nalan Guangcheng said: "I found out early on that my little girl has a crush on me. Later I found out that she was the King of Zhenxi. I also reminded her several times. But you have seen that girl Mingyue today, how could she listen?" Mine? One time, he got angry with me and didn’t talk to me for a long time. I really had no choice.”
"Hit me!"
Li Chuyi looked like he hated iron.
"Beat me if I don't obey. Beat me until I obey! When I was a child, my master would throw me directly into the crocodile pool if I didn't obey. I wouldn't be allowed to go ashore until he was satisfied. After a few times, I became obedient! You, you, Lao Na, I’m not telling you, haven’t you heard the old saying that a loving father is a loser to his daughter?”
Nalan Guangcheng was stunned when he heard this, and said to himself that my surname is Nalan, not Na, and besides, I am a girl and not a boy, so how can I beat her just because I want to?
Just as he was thinking about how to continue, the little fat man got excited and slapped the table with great energy.
"Look, what am I saying? Even if you are used to living a good life, something will go wrong! Anyone you pick on the street is better than Yu Hao, so why did that silly girl fall in love with him? Just because he was born Good-looking? Damn, it’s useless! It’s a pity that you met me too late. It would have been decades earlier when I was still with my master, and you would have given me Mingyue’s temper. Discipline and discipline, I promise you’ll be fine!”
Nalan Guangcheng swallowed: "Throw it into the crocodile pond too?"
"Won't!"
With a big wave of his hand, the little fat man said bitterly: "The smelly Taoist priest has always favored girls over boys. The crocodile pond is so dirty that he can't bear to leave it. The most he can do is throw it into a tiger and bear cave for a few days!"
Nalan Guangcheng immediately shut up.
He finally knew how Li Chuyi grew up to be so skinny.
The little fat man was short of breath after scolding too fast. He took a breath and suddenly became confused.
"That's not right. What does your daughter's crush on him have to do with me? Why are you asking me about this? You don't really want to set him up with me, do you? I'm telling you, no, I have principles, but don't you? He’s a casual person!”
Seeing that Li Chuyi was acting like he was being forced into prostitution, Nalan Guangcheng was so angry that he smashed the table with his palm.
"My girl is not a casual person either!!"
"Uh... slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, don't get me wrong!"
Only then did the little fat man realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly smiled and waved his hands.
When Nalan Guangcheng sat down again with a sullen expression, the little fat man came forward with a smile on his face.
"This, Uncle Na..."
"Nalan!!"
"Oh, Nalan, Uncle Nalan! I said uncle, I know you want to find out from me how Yuwen Taihao is as a person. I'll tell you the truth. He is a scumbag. You must not touch him. It's bad luck! But there's no point in asking me about this. You should tell my grandpa. Isn't my grandpa very close to your family? Go talk to him about this and let him teach you a lesson. Mingyue, if that doesn't work, let him come forward to find Yuwen Taihao and tell him to stay as far away from your daughter as possible. This is the right way!"
"Well, if only things were that simple."
Nalan Guangcheng sighed bitterly.
"You also know your grandpa's temper. If he knew about this, it would be a big mess. Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with the Yuwen royal family because of your mother's affairs. If you let him know, I I doubt that the old man will go directly to Zhenxi Prince’s Mansion!”
Speaking of this, Nalan Guangcheng glanced at Li Chuyi faintly.
"Especially now that there is another one of you, we can't let him know about this."
"I?"
"Ah You!"
Nalan Guangcheng nodded.
"Let me ask you, will you cause trouble to King Zhenxi when you come back this time?"
With a flash of his eyes, the little fat man said ambiguously: "Well...it depends on the situation, most likely."
"It's over now!"
He patted his thigh and reached out to grab the tea cup to take a sip of Shunshunqi. However, he remembered that the table had been smashed by him. Nalan Guangcheng was so angry that he patted his thigh again.
"Think about it, if you want to cause trouble for King Zhenxi, will your grandpa watch? If your grandpa helps you, will the Mu family watch? Originally, the Mu family remained neutral and was as stable as Emperor Yanling. I just sit on the sidelines, if there is a fight with the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion because of you, and my family Mingyue has close contact with the Zhenxi Prince, then even if your grandpa doesn't misunderstand, what will outsiders think of my Nalan family?"
After a pause, Nalan Guangcheng sighed deeply again.
"Actually, even without you, this matter would be very troublesome. It's been a while since you've been here, and you should have heard some news. Although the King of Zhenxi lives in seclusion, the princes who support him are growing day by day, secretly working with the royalists. There was a lot of friction. Originally, my Nalan family was behind the Mu family and was a neutral party. It had nothing to do with us whether they lived or died. But once the Mingyue incident is exposed, what will outsiders think of my Nalan family? What will the royalists and the princes and daughters they support think of my Nalan family? How will these people interpret the Mu family? To be honest, I went to Uncle Shi to apologize. I'm so worried. I don't even dare to tell my father about this. If my old man knew about it, he would probably kill his granddaughter if he kissed her. I... ugh!"
With a thought in his heart, Li Chuyi whispered: "Ask one more question, how did Yuwen Taihao and Mingyue know each other?"
Suddenly looking up at Li Chuyi, Nalan Guangcheng said in a deep voice, "Are you also so suspicious?"
The little fat man curled his lips and said, "You have come full circle. If you don't doubt me anymore, I will be a fool!"
Secretly praising Li Chuyi's mind, Nalan Guangcheng shook his head: "I was skeptical at first, but I checked and there was nothing surprising. King Zhenxi has been recovering from his injuries since he came back. He held several banquets after he recovered from his injuries. He invited dignitaries from all over the capital to have a drink and have a good time, and it was there that my daughter met him. Later, I checked specifically and found that King Zhenxi never did anything on his own initiative. It was because the daughter fell in love with him at first sight after hearing his legendary experience. Just like other nymphomaniac women.”
Li Chuyi was suspicious: "Are you sure there is no matchmaker?"
"Sure!"
Nalan Guangcheng nodded affirmatively.
"I have asked all the maids around the little girl, and they don't dare to lie to me. Later, I also asked other guests through other channels, and I found nothing. They all said that the little girl took the initiative to get involved. Fortunately, the nymphomaniac woman There were so many of them, and the little girl was so young that it didn't look strange to be among them. Moreover, King Zhenxi was very measured and never showed too much concern for anyone, so he didn't make anyone suspicious. I'm just afraid that if one day he expresses his opinion, that little girl... Oh!"
Shaking his head with a wry smile on his face, Nalan Guangcheng sighed: "My Nalan family has an open family, and I, Nalan Guangcheng, don't like to interfere in the affairs of my children. I don't care if they are well-matched, as long as my little girl lives a happy life." That's fine. But... But King Zhenxi is too special, and his identity and position are too sensitive. All the focus of Dayan is on him, and any slightest sign of trouble will arouse the suspicion of countless people. The Nalan family has always been the right-hand man of the Mu family. Sometimes our attitude is that of the Mu family. We are like the spokespersons of the Mu family. If the King of Zhenxi really wants to make a fuss about the little girl, outsiders will misunderstand it. , if the Mu family also misunderstands us and loses trust in us, then our Nalan family will be in disaster. "
"Have you never thought of abandoning your pawns to protect your commander?" Li Chuyi suddenly interjected quietly.
Nalan Guangcheng's pupils shrank sharply, the deep coldness disappeared in a flash, and then he let out a long sigh.
"I will ban her cultivation and lock her up at home, but I will never kill her, and I will never let outsiders touch her. The higher the cultivation, the harder it is to give birth to offspring. I finally got this A daughter, I watched her grow up, I held her carefully for fear of someone hurting her, if it came to that I would... ugh!"
Feeling relieved, Li Chuyi nodded secretly.
It was he who said to abandon the soldiers and protect the commander, but if Nalan Guangcheng had thought about it without hesitation, he would immediately order the expulsion of the guests.
What he hates most in his life are cold-blooded people who don't care about family ties, such as his biological father Yuwen Tailuo. If Nalan Guangcheng was like Yuwen Tailuo, then there would be no need to talk today, and there would even be no need to live in this restaurant. He found it dirty.
"Uncle Nalan, just tell me what you mean when you come to me today. Let's first say that it is definitely not okay for me to pursue your daughter. Although my appearance is not bad, it should not be able to catch your daughter's eyes. And I really don’t have the heart to do anything else. If I can help, just say it. I have to help you this time because of my grandpa. Of course, you have to give me a discount on the room rate here. poverty!"
Nalan Guangcheng laughed and scolded: "With your grandpa here, half of the imperial capital belongs to you, and you are still poor? You can live here without taking your money. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, just tell shopkeeper Liu that I have already I have given you instructions, and he can distribute the spiritual stones below 10 million to you on his own."
Li Chuyi almost choked to death. The rich people in the imperial capital are different. There are thousands of casual tribes.
The sound of Li Sinian's increasingly heavy breathing came to his ears, and the little fat man suddenly came to his senses and waved his hands quickly.
"One code equals one code. The rent still has to be paid. I don't want the old guys from the Mu family to gossip. Just give me a discount."
Recalling some of Mu Fangli's explanations, Nalan Guangcheng smiled and said: "Here in heaven it is five thousand spirit stones per day, and in monthly terms it is one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones per month. If you divide it in half, it will be sixty thousand spirit stones."
"It's just a few gossips, just say it, I won't care about them for the most part!"
With a big wave of his hand, the little fat man spoke without hesitation and without even taking a breath. Even though Nalan Guangcheng was prepared, he was shaken hard.
I’ve seen people change their faces quickly, but this is the first time I’ve seen people change their faces quickly without even a hint of change.
The teasing look on Nalan Guangcheng's face did not make Li Chuyi feel embarrassed at all. He was just kidding. Living in a hotel for a month would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!
"Tell me, what kind of help do you want me to do! Do you want to mess with Yuwen Taihao? No problem, I have this intention. When I am ready, I will torment him. Just look at it and you can do it!" The little fat man He said with a righteous face.
"It's not that complicated. My request is simple."
Nalan Guangcheng smiled slightly.
"I want you to help me persuade her."
With a snap, the little fat man's jaw dropped.
"ha?!"
