King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 429: much like a toad

  Chapter 429 looks like a toad

  Jun Li bent his lips, took Su Yunqing's hand and walked towards the courtyard gate.

  Yu Chipin stood at the gate of the courtyard without knowing when, his eyes downcast.

  Gu Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "The number of people outside has not decreased but increased, Miss Li might as well wait until the afternoon before leaving."

  Hearing this, Jun Li raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Yunqing who was at the side, and frowned involuntarily, thinking about the grand occasion outside last night.

  After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but nodded slightly, "That's fine." She still remembered what happened last night, and she might really not be able to get out. Besides, Eunuch Yu and the others don't know where they went now, and it's not too late to start when they arrive.

  Gu Qingqiu showed a smile on his face, and said to Junli, "Breakfast is ready, why don't you go and eat first?"

  Junli nodded, no objection to this.

  When having breakfast, Gu Qingqiu insisted on letting Junli sit at the top. This behavior provoked Gu Yanyu to stare at Junli fiercely. I believe that if eyes could be turned into knives, Jun Li would have been torn to pieces by Gu Yanyu's eyes long ago.

   After a breakfast meal, the sky became hazy and bright. Gu Qingqiu got up and invited Junli to go to the rooftop to worship the gods.

  How could Junli agree? Who can guarantee that there will be no unexpected situation later. If something delayed the time, it might be difficult to reach Qiyun Mountain by the end of this month.

   Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu couldn't say anything, and said goodbye with his hands together, letting Gu Yanyu accompany Junli and the two, then Shi Shi ran out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the outside of the house.

  As soon as Gu Qingqiu left, the cute expression on Gu Yanyu's face could no longer be maintained. Her cheeks puffed up, her eyes stared at Junli without blinking.

   Seen inexplicably by his eyes, Jun Li raised his eyebrows, "Toad."

  Hearing this, Gu Yanyu was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face, "Toad?"

  Seeing this, Jun Li chuckled lightly, pointed to his bulging cheeks and said, "You just looked like a toad."

   "What is a toad?" Gu Yanyu racked his brains, but he still didn't remember that he had heard this word before, "Is it cute?"

  Jun Li chuckled and nodded slightly, "It's very cute, just as cute as you."

  Hearing this, Gu Yanyu raised his chin and snorted coldly, "That's right, don't look at who I am!"

   After the words fell, Gu Yanyu frowned again, "Toad, what an ugly name. Is it an animal?"

   Junli nodded, "It's an animal that often lives in water."

  Gu Yanyu blinked, "Is it a fish?"

  Junli said without blinking, "It's a relative of fish."

  Gu Yanyu nodded thoughtfully, "Isn't that still a fish?"

  Jun Li smiled, "Every summer, it will keep barking, especially at night."

  Gu Yanyu was confused, his mind kept spinning, trying to wonder if he had ever seen this kind of animal. "It must have a nice cry, just like me." He said, with a haughty look on his face.

  Seeing this, Junli could not help coughing slightly, and continued, "Yes, its sound is very beautiful, guaranteed to be unforgettable for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to sleep all night."

  Hearing this, Gu Yanyu became even more excited, "Then it must be very beautiful!"

  Junli nodded, "It is covered with beads one by one, and the color of the beads is the same as its own. People can't help but faint in amazement when they see it."

  Gu Yanyu's eyes brightened even more, "It's full of beads? Then it must be very precious, very valuable!"

  The corners of Junli's mouth twitched, a faint smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and he nodded slightly, "That's right, it's really very valuable. It's so valuable that no one dares to accept it."

  Gu Yanyu blinked, puzzled, "Why don't you dare accept it?"

  Jun Li lifted his lips, "Because it is too precious and it is so beautiful, so people can only respect it and dare not desecrate it."

  At this time, Gu Yanyu's eyes had turned into star eyes, his face full of fantasy.

   After a long time, Gu Yanyu suddenly turned to Junli and said, "So, you must have seen it?"

  Jun Li nodded with a smile, "Not only I have seen it, but many people have seen it. It is very common, but rare."

  Gu Yanyu frowned, "What do you mean?"

  Picking up his lips, Jun Li smiled and said, "That kind of thing can only be seen in the countryside. It's hard to see this kind of place."

  Hearing the words, Gu Yanyu pondered, looked at Junli and said, "You didn't lie to me?"

  Jun Li shook his head slowly, "Why should I lie to you?"

  Gu Yanyu bit his lip, thought for a while, and ran out of the door suddenly, "Ade, prepare the carriage and go to the nearest village."

   Until Gu Yanyu's figure disappeared, Junli couldn't help but chuckle.

  Su Yunqing on the side had been wondering for a long time. Seeing Gu Yanyu leaving at this time, he asked, "Is there really... a toad in the countryside?" Why had he lived in the countryside for a while before, but he had never heard of this name?

  Junli nodded, but in this world, they are not called toads, but ugly frogs.

  As long as he thinks of Gu Yanyu's expression when he sees the toad, Junli can't help but twitch his lips slightly.

   Believe that expression, it must be wonderful.

   "Sit in the house?" Jun Li asked Su Yunqing beside him.

  Su Yunqing looked outside the courtyard, and knew that there were also courtyards there, and there was nothing to go there. Can't help nodding slightly.

  Seeing this, Jun Li was thoughtful, and when Su Yunqing had just walked a few steps towards the house, he suddenly grabbed Su Yunqing's waist, jumped quickly, and ran out of the yard.

   Yu Chipin, who had been standing by the courtyard, followed without hesitation.

  Jun Li embraced Su Yunqing, and quickly left the house, his figure flashed, and within a few breaths, he appeared in a hidden place behind the god-worshiping roof.

   In front of him is a huge platform for worshiping the gods. On the opposite side is a sea of ​​people.

   "Is it good to watch here?" Jun Li asked in a low voice, asking Su Yunqing in his arms.

  I didn’t come here last night because there were too many people over there and I couldn’t get through. Coupled with the fact that Nuoda's god-worshiping rooftop is separated in the middle, even if Junli wanted to come over, he couldn't come over.

  However, the house is just behind the roof for offering sacrifices to the gods, so as soon as you leave the house, you will come to this uninhabited area.

  Su Yunqing looked around and nodded slightly.

  Seeing this, the corners of Junli's lips curled up slightly, looking at a blurry red sun rising in the sky.

   Within a quarter of an hour, the red sun began to become clear. A faint, warm light poured from the red sun and fell on Nuo Da's god-worshiping roof.

   At the same time, there were several sounds of breaking through the air on the steps of the god-worshiping platform.

  Junli turned his head, only to see a dozen strong women with stern faces and light breathing, carrying five sedan chairs and quickly jumped down from the steps.

   The speed is very fast, but after a while, I jumped down from the hundred-storey steps.

  The five sedan chairs were gently placed in the center of the platform for offering sacrifices to the gods. When the breeze swayed, the gauze around the sedan chairs fluttered, revealing five men with different styles inside.
