Chapter 489: The idle man Qiao Yong

"Let's go, Xianchang, just ahead!"

"okay."

Every time he got to an intersection, Qiao Yong, who was leading the way, always stopped and stretched his finger in the direction, for fear that Ji Yuan and the old beggar didn't know Dao, even if he knew that the two were gods and gods, but the etiquette should not fall.

Although Qiao Yong is no longer a young man, his body is obviously very strong. He walks fast with a burden, and walks through the streets with Ji Yuan and the old beggar.

The old beggar looked at Qiao Yong, who was leading the way, and walked with Ji Yuan in the back, talking in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, didn't you say you're a high-ranking official? You can take the old beggar and I'll have a good meal. We haven't had water and rice in the past two days, and the oil and water in our stomachs are gone. Now this situation, a good meal. Is there any whereabouts?"

Ji Yuan smiled helplessly.

"If Mr. Lu is dissatisfied at that time, how about Jimou's own investment to go to the restaurant to buy a table of good wine and good food to entertain you?"

"Okay, you said it yourself, Mr. Ji, you can't go back, hehe."

"You, you..."

Ji Yuan's smile was not far-fetched at all. He was more than he was better than the other. He was not rich, but he was not short of a meal. After all, the little bit of gold that Hu Yun found at the beginning had hardly been touched.

Having said that, the old beggar still looked at Qiao Yong again.

"However, since Mr. Ji asked him to pass the message back, even if he didn't leave any strong tokens, those few words alone are worth scrutinizing, so it won't make this Qiao Yong go to the street to buy vegetables, right?"

"That's true, but I can see that Qiao Yong's face is ruddy, breathless, short and weak. Although his official qi is shallow, it is not completely dissipated, and he can't say it is miserable. Let's take a look."

When the two of them were talking, they turned an alley in front of them and came to a street. There was a mansion that looked rather imposing, and Qiao Yong pointed there.

"The two immortals, that's my house, come and sit with me!"

With that said, Qiao Yong's pace quickened a lot.

The old beggar looked into the distance, and knew that Ji Yuan's eyes were not very convenient. Although the words on the plaque were large, they had to be close enough to read, so he said it very intimately.

"Mr. Ji, it says 'Qiaofu'."

Ji Yuan laughed.

"Even if I can't see clearly, I can guess it!"

Qiao's mansion has maintained a family position now, and it does not have the scenery of the past, not to mention the housekeepers at the door, even the fallen leaves in front of the door have not been swept away.

Qiao Yong walked quickly to the door with a burden and patted the copper ring on the door.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

"Ade, Ade, open the door, I'm back!"

"I'm coming!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and after a while, a side door beside the gate was opened from the inside, and behind the door was an old man with gray hair.

"Master? Here, why are you at the front door? Who are these two?"

Qiao Yong patted his forehead and said quickly.

"Oh, Ade, open the front door, open the front door, and welcome the distinguished guests! Open the front door to welcome the two immortals!"

"Ah? Oh oh oh, open the front door, open the front door..."

Now Jod is the only servant in the house, and he has followed the Qiao family for decades. Even though the Qiao family has long since fallen, he is still loyal to the Qiao family.

Ji Yuan and the old beggar didn't stop the Qiao family from doing this. Although it took a lot of time and effort, Qiao Yong took this kind of courtesy very seriously, so he went.

"Squeak..."

The main door, which had not been opened for a long time, slowly opened, and Qiao Yong brought Ji Yuan and the old beggar in with the other Qiao family members who had heard the news.

Not only that, Qiao Yong also instructed his wife and children to prepare a sumptuous dinner, emphasizing that it must be sumptuous several times before taking Jiyuan and the old beggar to the living room.

This mansion was originally the Qiao's mansion. Although it still can't be ranked in the capital, it can't be regarded as a small mansion or courtyard. Now there are not many people in the Qiao mansion, and many houses are idle. After all, they can't be cleaned.

The Qiao family was naturally very curious about the arrival of Ji Yuan and the old beggar. While working in the kitchen, the children in the family were still discussing.

"Is that a fairy? Why is there a beggar?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just an appearance!"

"It seems that they are not the same as the immortal masters at the Heavenly Master. Don't they all say that the immortals at the Heavenly Master are also immortals?"

"Of course there will be differences between immortals and immortals. I look different from you."

"Don't be rude, burn fire, cook rice, and I'll kill two chickens."

"Have you eaten chicken?" "Great!"

...

The atmosphere in the kitchen was cheerful. In the living room, after pouring tea for Ji Yuan and the old beggar, Qiao Yong also told the two of what happened after he came back.

Although I wandered at sea for many years, it took only a year to really return to the harbor of Daxiu. It is strange to say that when I came back, it was smooth sailing, and there was no storm, and I didn't lose my way. , returned to the big show smoothly and smoothly.

When I first heard that they would come, in the Daxiu Palace, Emperor Longyan Dayue thought that the fleet had brought back the elixir, so he immediately summoned Qiao Yong, and even dispatched the Imperial Army and the imperial guards with swords to **** him.

Emperor Daxiu sent a total of three teams to seek elixir, each of which was sent to three legendary immortal mansions. The fleet of treasure ships was sent to the East China Sea. It should have been the slowest news and the smallest hope. Back is the fleet.

"Hehe, the emperor must be very happy?"

When the old beggar heard Qiao Yong's retelling, he couldn't help but sneered aloud. He had an apprentice who used to be the emperor, and his head was beheaded once. The emperor of the big show is quite similar to the former Yang Zong.

Hearing the old beggar asking, Qiao Yong also smiled wryly.

"Who said no? In fact, my fleet has not yet entered the port. Someone from the Department of Ocean Viewing has already observed the return of the fleet, so when the fleet entered the port, there were already men with armor to greet it."

Qiao Yong recalled this for a while before continuing.

"I told the officials who came to greet me that I didn't ask for elixir, but only got Mr. Ji's promise. The officials who greeted me didn't dare to directly report back to the capital, but they just wanted to take me and other fleet officials with me."

"And then what?"

Ji Yuan asked this question, and Qiao Yong continued to talk along the memory.

"After arriving in the capital, I learned that we have not found the elixir, and the promise of the immortal chief is only in words. The saints believe the words of the immortals, but I may not say what Qiao Yong said... and there are also officials. Impeaching me, I must have fabricated the immortal's message, just to return from the sea, so the sage was furious and dismissed me and sent me to prison.

"It's Ji Mou who didn't think carefully, Mr. Qiao forgive me!"

Ji Yuan bowed his hands and apologized, so scared that Qiao Yong stood up and said "don't dare".

However, although Ji Yuan said that he didn't think carefully, but in fact there was no token to keep at that time. Which green onion did he calculate, and people must have never heard of him. news is more convincing.

The miscalculation of the fate is that at first I thought that the Xianyou Conference must be a very secret high-end conference, and I didn’t know the identity. It was only when I arrived at Ruanshan that I realized that although there were not many people in the world who knew about the Xianyou Conference, there were not many. Not one person knows about the Xianyou Conference, so his words must be reliable.

"Did the national teacher ever believe you?"

Ji Yuan asked another question, Qiao Yong shook his head and said honestly.

"Although the national teacher has left enough leeway, he can't fully believe me. He asked me a lot about Ji Xianchang, and also asked a lot about your relationship with Xianxia Island. My knowledge is limited, so I can only try my best. Answer, fortunately, the national teacher can calculate, and figured out that I did not lie, and said that when he wanted to calculate the immortal master ~lightnovelpub.net~ no matter what, the calculation was blank."

Qiao Yong said this and smiled embarrassedly.

"At that time, when I heard the national teacher say this to the sage in the golden hall, Qiao was very frightened, thinking that the national teacher said it was going to be bad, and even the sage was even more angry. Fortunately, the national teacher explained it later, saying that this It can only be met with a real expert, if there is no treasure in the body, it must be that the Taoxing is much higher than him, and this is how it is, and thus saved me..."

"After being closed for half a year, there was news of another immortal-seeking team, but Mr. Li over there fled with luggage and did not dare to return to the big show. The sage was naturally angry, but I used to be angry. My good friend also took the opportunity to speak for me, saying that at least I, Qiao Yong, have not forgotten the emperor's kindness, knowing that I must come back to report the news, there is no credit or hard work..."

Qiao Yong said happily.

"Hey, the sage was originally going to imprison me until next year. If there is no news about the immortals in my mouth, I will ask to be executed in the autumn of next year, but because of this, I will be released after half a month, and I have been at home until today."

"Actually, the sage treated me well. Although I was dismissed from the official position, he did not confiscated my property, but... the brothers in the fleet were not doing well. It is good to say that those who are in good health are those who were originally from the fleet. Those who are injured and disabled at sea will have a hard life, because the sage is angry and has not received all the pensions, how can I feel good about it, I can only do my best, and I can help if I can."

The old beggar nodded slightly towards Ji Yuan, and the two basically understood the beginning and end of the Qiao family's changes. Even if there was no calculation and verification, it was clear to them that Qiao Yong said that he didn't tell the truth.

"Qiao Gong is kind-hearted."

The old beggar said with a smile, and Qiao Yong just shook his head.

"It's not a good heart, but I made a promise to the brothers, but I didn't do it. Here... it's hard!"

Qiao Yong said and patted his chest.
