Our priest may be ill

On the first day of Li Chou's arrival, the emperor came to Yulongyuan to condolences to the guards, and saw Li Chou on the way. I have to say that he was a little disappointed.

Li Chou looks like an ordinary-looking man, and he always has a cold face, which doesn't seem like a pleasing temperament. Of course, it doesn't rule out that Gong Tianxue likes this kind of strength, Gong Tianxue's own Looks are already unique, maybe you don't pay much attention to this when choosing a mate?The emperor thought to himself.

After the emperor finished condolences to the guards, everyone cheered up and vowed to live up to the emperor's expectations and guard the safety of the imperial city during the few days when the foreign envoys came.

After the emperor left, Gong Tianxue, as his personal bodyguard, also left to bid farewell to Li Chou in front of the Yulong Courtyard, and told him not to worry, but to come back when the shift changed.

Li Chou watched Gong Tianxue leave, and he understood why Gong Tianxue was so enthusiastic about this job. In the past, Gong Tianxue was always alone, and the following congregants only followed him, and they would not be equal. In the small group of Yulongyuan, Gong Tianxue felt belonging and gained more equal exchanges, and his promotion was also due to his personal efforts, not because of blood. .

No matter how strong a person is, he always wants to be needed and recognized by others.

Li Chou lowered his eyes and looked at the ebony token held in his palm. The word "Li" came into his eyes, which reminded him of what that person said to him when he gave him the ebony token:

"You are withdrawn by nature and don't like to socialize with others. I hope you will take this ebony order to fulfill other people's wishes. Of course, those people must have helped you first, and you have confirmed that they have a good character. You want to do something for them , just give them this ebony token, give them a chance, and one day, if they need help, they will come to you with the ebony token."

"Life is all about troubles for each other. Maybe your predestined person is in these troubles."

"The one who is destined..." Li Chou looked at Wu Muling, with a slight smile on his usually cold face, "I have found it, don't worry."

During the past few days when the foreign envoys came, Gong Tianxue was so busy that she beat the back of her head with her feet. Although there was nothing particularly exhausting, there were a lot of trivial things, ordering this and that, and keeping a close eye on the audience. , foreign envoys brought a lot of exotic animals, ran all over the place, and had to take care of the pampered concubines and princesses, Gong Tianxue, the temporary head of the guard, almost had a big head.

Every night when I returned to Yulong Courtyard, Gong Tianxue fell asleep without saying a word, and later Li Chou helped him undress and take a bath, and he just leaned on Li Chou, as if he was paralyzed the whole time.

Although she said in the morning that she didn't want to go or work, Gong Tianxue would still get up obediently, get dressed neatly, put on a beautiful and energetic uniform of the head of the bodyguard, and ask Li Chou to comb his hair for him. Bright leather boots out.

until the last day.

"Ah Chou, guess what, I told the emperor that he specially allowed you to go to the evening banquet with me. Tomorrow the group of Niaoguo people who talk about birds will leave. I am completely liberated, but I will be with you Tell me, those people from Niaoguo are really powerful, they can tame elephants, tigers, and their specialty, a two-headed bird with beautiful feathers, you must go and see it!"

"Oh? Really?" Li Chou shook his head with a smile, "I'd better not go."

"Why? Ah Chou, this is an opportunity that I have worked hard for so many days, and I finally got it!" Gong Tianxue looked at Li Chou with a puzzled expression.

"I... don't like to show my face in crowded places." Li Chou said.

He is not old or dead, and his appearance has always been the same. In order not to attract attention, he has been keeping a low profile, which can save a lot of trouble.

But Gong Tianxue didn't understand his thoughts, she always felt that he was thinking too much, so she dragged him to the dinner party.

The banquet was of a high standard. It is said that at this banquet, foreign envoys will present their most precious gifts to His Majesty the Emperor.

The silk and bamboo are leisurely, dancing and playing the sheng, golden cups filled with fine wines are put on the table row by row, and delicacies are passed on to the long list like flowing water.

In the middle of the dinner, the foreign envoy walked to the emperor's seat with a scroll and bowed down:

"#$%%^%...!"

The minister who knew foreign languages ​​stepped forward to translate. At the beginning, a large piece was about how wise and mighty the emperor was, that he was able to rule the land of Central Continent. , The monarch of their small country specially asked them to bring a copy of the treasure sealed in the treasury and present it to His Majesty the Emperor.

As he spoke, the foreign envoy shook the scroll in his hand.

is a map.

No, to be precise, it should be a treasure map.

The emperor beckoned and asked someone to bring up the treasure map. The herald immediately went down to pick up the treasure map, rolled it up, and sent it to the emperor.

At this time, foreign envoys began to tell the story of the treasure map.

The wine in Li Chou's hands suddenly became choppy.

He had to put down the wine glass and put his hands on the table to support his body without showing too obvious panic.

That's right, it was fear. Li Chou knew the treasure map, and he even knew exactly what the treasure map pointed to.

"...There are rumors in the Donglai Kingdom that this is the tomb of an immortal, and there is an elixir of life in the tomb." The minister translated.

"Oh? How can the gods have tombs? How can they die if they have the elixir of life? It's probably something like a strange story in the mountains." The emperor didn't believe it.

The minister translated the emperor's words to the foreign envoys, and the two envoys gesticulated and answered the minister.

"Reporting to the emperor... Brother Endi (one of the foreign envoys) said that the tomb of the gods is just a tomb of clothes. The gods left a tomb in order to deceive the world and tell the world that he was dead. I think he was still wandering in the world after he escaped his shell. Somewhere in the world. It is said that he put the elixir he refined into the deepest part of the tomb, surrounded by many traps."

At this time, the emperor became a little interested. After all, for a person like him, there was really no pursuit. He only hoped that he could live another 500 years.

And the foreign envoy spoke so vividly and full of details about the tomb of the gods, maybe it is true?If it is true, it is the best thing for the emperor. If it is false, it will not take much trouble to send someone to search for it.

"Why don't you explore the tomb yourself?" asked the emperor.

After listening to the translation, the two envoys discussed it solemnly, and then replied that they had visited before, but they couldn't hide from the mechanism in the tomb of the gods. Looking at the treasure map, it seems that the emperor of Zhongzhou at that time also sent people into the tomb. They don't know what happened afterwards.

"Oh? There is such a thing..." The emperor thought about it for a while, he was the emperor of the motherland, and the previous emperor—his brother, the prince, didn't seem to send anyone to find the elixir of life, so it was them Father is dead, father has always been partial to the crown prince, and would never say anything to him, an unfavored prince, so it is normal for him not to know about the treasure map. Thinking of this, the emperor's heart is full of hatred for father resentment, but the father did not escape his fate, and died of illness, and the emperor watched him die, which meant that he did not get the elixir of life.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." The emperor said, put away the treasure map, and rewarded the envoys a lot.

The envoys were naturally satisfied when they received the reward, the emperor signaled Gong Tianxue to send the envoys off, and Gong Tianxue stepped down the steps loudly.

These days, the envoys have gotten used to Gong Tianxue's beauty, they were always amazed by it before, but whenever Gong Tianxue appeared, they couldn't stop looking at Gong Tianxue, and sighed because the emperor was so unsympathetic Of course, Gong Tianxue couldn't understand their bird language, so she didn't hit them either.

Escorted by Gong Tianxue, foreign envoys walked past two long rows of tables.

Suddenly, Endigo stopped.

His eyes were burning, and he stared straight at Li Chou at the table. The distance between them was less than ten feet. Li Chou lowered his head to avoid his gaze, but Brother Endi took the initiative to follow him and kept observing Li Chou.

How could Gong Tianxue have such a show!This dead foreigner actually looked at his wife. Everyone knows that Li Chou is very good, but there is no need to be so obvious!

He didn't care about any diplomatic etiquette, so he grabbed Endi brother by his collar and picked him up.

"Let's go." Gong Tianxue pointed at the gate.

Brother Endi nodded at Gong Tianxue, turned his head away, and said something to his fellow envoy, who also raised his head to look at Li Chou.

Gong Tianxue almost exploded with anger, and immediately bowed down.body, crossed the table, left a kiss of sovereignty on the side of Li Chou's tense face, then straightened up, stretched his neck, like a big goose ready to fight at any time, staring at the two envoys with piercing eyes .

The two envoys looked at each other, shook their heads, and walked side by side with expressions of "can't afford to provoke".

After the dinner is over.

Li Chou didn't eat anything, but drank a lot of wine, and the old things flashed by like a revolving lantern.

This time it was Gong Tianxue's turn to help Li Chou who drank too much back to the house, ordered his subordinates to fill the bathtub with hot water, then dismissed the crowd, helped Li Chou undress, and complained, "Why did you drink so much? If you like this kind of wine, I will ask someone to leave a few jars for you, take it home and drink slowly..."

Li Chouan was quiet, he didn't look like he was drunk at all, but when he looked closely, his eyes were not focused, and he was a little dazed.

Gong Tianxue carefully hugged Li Chou, put him into the bathtub, then quickly took off her clothes, and squeezed together with him, next to Li Chou's warm and cool body, it was always very comfortable.

"I really don't know how those two Bird Country people at the dinner party didn't have any eyesight at all. No wonder it's a barbarian land, and they are talking about the tomb of the gods. If there is an elixir, the emperor would have already-" Gong Tianxue said As he spoke, he suddenly stopped.

He looked at Li Chou, and it was only at this moment that he realized what was wrong.

There is the elixir of life, there is, and the man who has taken the elixir of life is right in front of his eyes.

So, did those two foreign envoys actually meet Li Chou?

Oh my god, why did he do such a small thing? If he knew that he was hiding Li Chou, why did he insist on taking him to the dinner party? !

Gong Tianxue quickly picked up the saponins, planning to wash them casually, put on clothes and run away.

"They didn't recognize me." Li Chou said suddenly.

"Hey, Ah Chou, are you... not drunk?"

"I can understand the words of Donglai Kingdom. They just think that I am very much like Li Shengxiang, the envoy sent by the old emperor to Donglai Kingdom." Li Chou closed his eyes and sighed, "Li Shengxiang is My nephew."

"What??" These words contained a lot of information, and Gong Tianxue couldn't digest them for a while.
