Chapter 173: Drunk

Qi Xuansu was sitting in his mortgage room, bored.

Now he has no subordinates, no errands, no arrangements, and is completely helpless. On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu has subordinates, errands, and arrangements. Now he is gathered together with a group of real people to participate in the Jinque discussion. It can only be said that he is also the deputy hall master, and there is a difference between him and his superiors.

Qi Xuansu's rise to power has not changed much for Ziweitang. He used to be the deputy hall master Qi, and now he is still the deputy hall master Qi. It is nothing more than Qi Jianyuan becoming Qi Xuansu, both of whom are from the old Qi family.

In fact, the deputy hall master's independent power is relatively large. Except when he is on duty, Qi Xuansu does not have to sit in the signing room all day long. However, Qi Xuansu considers that he has just been promoted to deputy hall master, so he does not want to be too presumptuous and can only sit here. .

In the afternoon, a young Taoist priest came over and informed: "Vice-Hall Master Qi, Deputy Hall-Master Zhang is looking for you."

When he said this, the young Taoist priest could not hide the envy on his face.

Don't worry about whether you are a polished general or not, just ask whether you are of high rank.

The deputy hall master who is less than thirty years old is accompanied by a beautiful woman, and the key beauty is also the deputy hall master. This is something that not many people can envy.

Qi Xuansu regained his energy, left the custody room, and came to the yard outside. From a distance, Zhang Yuelu, dressed in casual clothes, stood alone, as if floating in the wind. Qi Xuansu felt for the first time that Zhang Yuelu was so lonely. It's just that Zhang Yuelu's usual strength conceals this loneliness, always making people mistakenly think that she is not alone.

Of course, Qi Xuansu is also lonely. He is an orphan. It makes no sense to not be lonely anymore, so the two of them will get closer and closer... To put it mildly, it is probably two lonely hearts slowly growing apart. Leaning together and so on.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward to greet him. There was still some distance between them when Zhang Yuelu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Deputy Hall Master Qi."

Install the latest version. 】

"Are you so well-informed?" Qi Xuansu was a little surprised.

Zhang Yuelu said: "It's not that I'm well-informed. It's because Jinque and Di Bao have publicized it. It's hard not to know."

"I see." Qi Xuansu changed the subject, "What was the result of the discussion?"

This meeting started yesterday, all afternoon yesterday, all morning today, plus a whole night. That is to say, Daoist disciples can stay awake and full of energy. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably kill a few old men.

Zhang Yuelu said: "As expected, it was decided at the meeting that Master Qingwei would be the leader of the army. The army entered Fenglin Continent in four batches. Young people like us will not be the first batch to go to Fenglin Continent, usually the second batch or the first batch will be sent to Fenglin Continent." Three batches.”

Qi Xuansu was not too surprised: "It seems that we can still celebrate the Lantern Festival."

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him and smiled playfully: "You seem a little impatient."

"Really? I don't hold any grudge against what happened last time. I have already forgotten it." Qi Xuansu said with a gentleman's face, "It will be the same when I become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest."

"De Xing." Zhang Yuelu snorted, "After the meeting, I met with the Heavenly Master, and he agreed that we can take his boat back to Yunjin Mountain together."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be shocked: "What kind of treatment is this? First we take the National Master's ship, then the Heavenly Master's ship, and then we take the Earth Master's ship."

"If you want to take the Earth Master's ship, you have to wait. The Earth Master is on duty and has caught up with the war. In the next six months, the Earth Master will not leave Yujing, even if the Earth Master is willing to let you ride. That will be a matter of half a year," Zhang Yuelu said.

Qi Xuansu changed the subject again: "Actually, the Heavenly Master treats you well. I don't believe that ordinary descendants of the Zhang family can ride on the Heavenly Master's ship, let alone bring a person with a foreign surname."

Zhang Yuelu said: "I never said that Heavenly Master treats me badly, but I don't like the atmosphere within the Zhang family. Okay, let's not talk about this. I have reserved a table at the Phoenix Tower to celebrate your promotion to vice president. Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master Qi should appreciate it, right?"

Qi Xuansu touched his chin: "If it were someone else, I would still have to think about it, but since it was Deputy Hall Master Zhang who invited me, I naturally have no reason not to go..."

Zhang Yuelu stretched out his hand and pushed him: "You are still acting up, let's go quickly."

At this time, the two of them were in the courtyard of the lobby of Ziweitang headquarters. There were many eyes around them, so it was difficult for them to do anything overstepping. Qi Xuansu was pushed by Zhang Yuelu and walked out.

The two of them walked out of the side door of Zi Mansion side by side, and the spiritual officials on both sides saluted.

Qi Xuansu asked casually: "Have you met Yao Suyi?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her. She didn't participate in the hearing. She seems to be still recuperating."

Qi Xuansu nodded and murmured: "She can't really go to participate in the Xuansheng Card Competition. That person must be Qiniang pretending to be her."

Zhang Yuelu was angry and funny: "You are still thinking about this matter. It doesn't matter if it's Qiniang or not Qiniang. She won't share half of it with you."

Qi Xuansu sighed and said: "You are right, Qiniang has tens of thousands of dollars in wealth, but she will not share any of it with me. She also blackmails me, exploits me, and plunders me."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Don't think about Qiniang for now. Think about it carefully. If the Heavenly Master wants to see you, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Qi Xuansu was startled, and then asked: "Master Tian, ​​what are your hobbies?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "I advise you not to think about following the other person's favourites. Celestial Master likes to play chess. Do you think your chess skills can compete with Celestial Master?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "I heard from Qi Niang that if both sides of the chess game use the 'Heavenly Calculation' to the extreme without any mistakes, then in the end, half a move will win, that is, the winner will be decided after guessing the first move, which is quite boring. It's better to play cards, at least it depends on luck."

Zhang Yuelu said again: "The Heavenly Master also likes to drink tea, especially the green tea from Shifeng. There are only 18 tea trees there at most, and the annual output is calculated in taels. How many taels can you buy with your regular silver?"

Qi Xuansu raised his hand and said, "Stop, I can't even afford half a tael."

"So I advise you not to cater to his preferences, the cost is too high." Zhang Yuelu said, "Think about it again."

Qi Xuansu pondered.

The Heavenly Master is not the National Master. After all, the latter has a distant relationship. As long as the etiquette is met, there will be no problem. The former is related to lifelong events. If he doesn't agree, what mother-in-law this mother-in-law that mother-in-law, plus Qi Niang, it is estimated that it will be in vain.

In short, the Heavenly Master will not force Zhang Yuelu to marry, and pleasing him may not necessarily succeed. But he is the head of the Zhang family after all. If he really disagrees, no one can do anything, but it is not difficult to do bad things.

As they talked, the two left Xuandu and came to Taiqing City along Shangqing Street, and then came to the place where they met - Fenghuang Tower.

Zhang Yuelu entered the restaurant first, and a waiter had already greeted her.

"Dan Taichu." Zhang Yuelu took out a pseudonym that she had not used for a long time, just like Qi Xuansu's "Wei Wugui", she used this name to order a banquet.

"Two guests, please follow me." After checking the records, the waiter led the two to the second floor.

Zhang Yuelu booked a private room, and there was no one else except the two of them.

The two sat down, and the dishes were just some common dishes in Yujing. The key was that Zhang Yuelu took out a bottle of "Drunken Life and Dreaming Death".

Qi Xuansu immediately knew that today would probably not end well, and he might have to sit outside in the square to sober up like the night they first met.

Zhang Yuelu filled two glasses, handed one to Qi Xuansu, and then raised one himself: "Cheers to your promotion."

Qi Xuansu clinked his glasses with Zhang Yuelu's, and they drank it all.

After Zhang Yuelu finished a glass of wine, a faint blush appeared on her fair face. She looked at Qi Xuansu, raised her glass and asked: "Would you like a glass?"

Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to refuse, Zhang Yuelu filled another glass for him, and said: "Drinking is about getting drunk, so if you don't want to dissolve the alcohol, it will be meaningless. It's better not to waste the good wine."

Qi Xuansu felt that this was very familiar, as if he had heard it before.

Qi Xuansu picked up the wine glass and risked his life to accompany the gentleman.

The two clinked their glasses and drank the wine in the glasses in one breath.

The two drank quickly and anxiously, and the pot of "Drunken Life and Dreaming Death" soon ran out.

In the evening, Zhang Yuelu helped Qi Xuansu, who was already top-heavy and light-footed as if he was stepping on cotton, to leave the Phoenix Tower and came to the statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor.

Qi Xuansu sat down on the steps of the first-level Sumeru throne, covering his head: "When we first met, you said here that you wanted to drink 'Drunken Life and Dreaming Death'. Today is the second time you have fulfilled your wish. My realm has improved, and the quality of the wine has also improved. I will get drunk when I need to."

"I remember that you had a very melancholy temperament at that time, like a girl with a sad and resentful look like lilac. You spoke in a vague way, and you wanted to forget all your troubles at any time. You exuded an unfathomable aura from the inside out, coming and leaving on the moonlight, like a fairy."

Qi Xuansu has started to talk drunkenly.

Zhang Yuelu could drink a lot, but he was still sober, but it was quite limited. He said, "I am not depressed, nor do I have any complaints. I was just annoyed by my family's urging to get married."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "So you fell in love with me."

Zhang Yuelu reached out and grabbed Qi Xuansu's collar, patted Qi Xuansu's cheek, and exhaled alcohol: "Do you have any objection?"

Qi Xuansu put his arm around Zhang Yuelu's neck: "I have no objection."

Zhang Yuelu let Qi Xuansu hug her, and stood up with him and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Qi Xuansu waved his hands vigorously, his mouth was a little uncontrollable, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Just when Zhang Yuelu thought Qi Xuansu was going to refuse like last time, he heard Qi Xuansu say, "That's good."

Zhang Yuelu felt that Qi Xuansu had bad intentions, but he still walked towards Haichanfang.

Qi Xuansu did have some thoughts at first, but when he got home, he was drunk and forgot everything and fell into a deep sleep.

When Qi Xuansu woke up the next day, he found himself lying on the ground with his clothes on.

He sat up and found Zhang Yuelu curled up on the bed, not awake yet.

You can imagine what happened last night. After Zhang Yuelu sent him back, she threw him away and climbed onto the bed to sleep.

Qi Xuansu staggered to the bedside and suddenly found that Zhang Yuelu was holding something very familiar in his hand. It seemed to be his fish talisman?

Qi Xuansu suddenly woke up and had only one thought: he had shot himself in the foot and was asking for his own death.
