Go north from Suzhou, cross the Yangtze River, and enter Huainan Circuit.
Passing through the prosperity of Yangzhou, passing through the plains of Henan Circuit, heading west all the way to Guannei.
This is the route Jiang Yuechu takes back to Chang'an.
This goes to Chang'an.
The journey is three thousand miles long.
For ordinary people, it is a arduous journey of half a year.
But for Jiang Yuechu, it was only a matter of months.
Huainan Circuit.
A tea house in the middle of nowhere.
There is a straw hut supported by a few moso bamboos, and the stove is steaming with steam.
"Sir, your Yangchun noodles have two poached eggs and a lot of chopped green onion!"
The shopkeeper was a rickety old man, and he quickly brought a bowl of hot noodles to the table.
Jiang Yuechu didn't mind the greasiness of the table. He took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the chopstick holder and paused on the table.
He picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on the hot air, and put it into his mouth.
The hot soup dispels the chill of late autumn.
She eats gracefully, but not slowly.
And opposite her.
You Wujiang was sitting upright, with his hands on his knees and his eyes not squinting.
There was nothing in front of me.
Jiang Yuechu ate half of it, put down his chopsticks, and raised his eyelids.
"Don't eat?"
You Wujiang looked away from the bowl of noodles with difficulty and looked at the wilderness in the distance.
"I'm not hungry."
Gulu--
"..."
The so-called Four Realms of Entering the Hall, although it has separated from the mortal body, does not mean that it will not be hungry.
Especially the higher the realm, even if you sit still on weekdays, in order to maintain the operation of this powerful physical body, the energy required is dozens of times that of ordinary people.
Even if Lotus-Planting Realm is so powerful, if he does not eat meat for ten days and a half, even if True Qi is not withered, the bones in his body will have to be dried out first.
Dining and drinking dew?
That is the legendary Immortal method.
Jiang Yuechu put down his chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Ten cents a bowl, add eggs for two cents."
She paused and spoke calmly.
"Shall I treat you?"
You Wujiang's body trembled slightly, obviously a little moved.
But soon, he suppressed it again.
"No reward for no merit."
He turned his head and looked upright.
"Grandmother said, you can't owe anyone casual favors when you're away from home."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu raised his eyebrows.
This silly boy.
The mouth is quite hard...
"Since Mr. You doesn't want to owe any favors, how about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
You Wujiang was stunned and looked at her warily.
Although he is new to the world, he also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
What's more, I always feel that the girl in front of me doesn't seem to have any good intentions...
"The sword cannot be sold... the Gold Robe on the body is the company's public property and cannot be mortgaged."
"Who wants your sword and robe?"
"Then what do you want..."
Jiang Yuechu looked at his waist.
"River-Overturning Demon King's body is here with you, right?"
You Wujiang was stunned and subconsciously protected the jade pendant around his waist.
"Yes..."
Jiang Yuechu nodded and raised the corners of his mouth, "Since it's with you, it's easy to handle."
"I don't want much."
She stretched out her little finger and made a fingernail-sized section.
"Cut such a big piece of meat for me, and I'll treat you to this meal."
"???"
You Wujiang's eyes widened with shock on his face.
"You... you want Demon flesh and blood? No! No!!"
"This is public property. Grandmother said it will be handed over to General Headquarters for storage."
Jiang Yuechu was not in a hurry and silently picked up the fried golden and oily poached eggs.
The egg liquid flows out and the aroma is overflowing.
"It smells so good."
Jiang Yuechu chewed slowly and indistinctly.
"This shop's craftsmanship is good, and they use lard, so it's authentic."
Gulu--
This sound was louder than before.
You Wujiang's face turned red and he swallowed his saliva crazily.
It's almost time to meet.
Jiang Yuechu swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke again, "That Demon King is dozens of feet tall and weighs tens of thousands of kilograms at least."
"It's been a bumpy ride and it's shrunk a little bit, isn't it normal?"
"Say no more."
Jiang Yuechu leaned forward slightly, looking directly at You Wujiang with his cold eyes.
"Did you kill that beast?"
You Wujiang hesitated and shook his head honestly. "No."
"Who killed that?"
"It's... it's you."
"Since I was the one who killed him."
Jiang Yuechu spread his hands and said confidently, "Then I'll take a little. Is that too much?"
"This..."
You Wujiang's mind is a little confused.
This logic sounds... impeccable?
She killed the demon.
If General Headquarters had not followed the rules, this corpse should indeed belong to the person who contributed the most.
Now she only has a piece of flesh as big as a fingernail...
Also treat yourself to a meal...
No matter how you calculate it, you all earned it yourself.
Finally.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision that went against his ancestors.
"As long as... as big as a fingernail?"
Jiang Yuechu nodded, "It's that big."
You Wujiang gritted his teeth and turned his palms.
A piece of dark red meat, about the size of a copper coin, appeared on the table out of thin air.
Even if it's just a little bit.
The ferocious aura of Lotus-Planting Great Demon still caused the surrounding air temperature to drop sharply.
Even the old man who was cooking the noodles shuddered and looked up at the sky in confusion.
Why did it suddenly get cold?
Jiang Yuechu has quick eyes and quick hands, and a roll of sleeves.
The flesh and blood disappeared and was taken into her belly Sumeru Space.
The movements were smooth and smooth, obviously premeditated.
"Boss!"
"Another bowl of noodles! Add three eggs!"
"Okay--!"
After a while.
A steaming bowl of noodles is served.
You Wujiang No longer cares about Gold Robe's demeanor, he grabbed the chopsticks and immersed himself in the meal.
Hululu--
Jiang Yuechu sat aside and looked at the peerless genius devouring the food in front of him.
Thinking about it in my mind.
A thirty-foot-long monster corpse.
Tens of thousands of pounds of meat.
This journey of three thousand miles, if we can defraud this stupid boy of all his inventory...
She looked at the other person with eyes that became softer and softer.
"Eat slowly, there is not enough."
You Wujiang raised his head, his eyes full of emotion.
"Miss Jiang... is a good man."
"Hmm."
Jiang Yuechu nodded without changing his expression.
"I think so too."
Huainan Circuit Heading north, after crossing the Yangtze River, the wind gradually becomes stronger.
This journey lasted several days.
At this time, we have entered the Henan Circuit boundary.
The official road is wide and the chariots and horses are like dragons.
The outline of a towering city was vaguely visible in the afterglow of dusk.
Bian Prefecture.
As an important town guarding the canal, although the prosperity here is not as prosperous as Chang'an Luoyang, it is far from comparable to ordinary counties.
Two figures slowly entered the city following the flow of people.
Jiang Yuechu held the horse and glanced at the shop signs on both sides of the street. His expression was dull, but there was a hint of expectation in the depths of his eyes.
beside.
You Wujiang is still wearing a conspicuous Gold Robe, carrying Pale White Longsword on his back.
"Master You."
Jiang Yuechu stopped in front of a restaurant.
You Wujiang trembled and subconsciously covered the jade pendant around his waist.
"What... what happened again?"
"I have been traveling for days and sleeping in the open. As a Gold Robe Inspector, Mr. You has a delicate body and expensive body, so how can he always eat dry food? Today I joined Bian Prefecture, so I have to give him a good reward."
You Wujiang swallowed.
He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and what he usually eats is tasteless medicinal food.
Following Jiang Yuechu along the way, although I always felt that I was at a loss, it was also the first time I tasted special delicacies from various places.
"Old rules?"
You Wujiang stiffened.
In the past few days, this conversation has been repeated no less than ten times.
From resistance at the beginning, to hesitation later, and now...
He actually felt a sense of proficiency.
"How much... how much does it cost this time?"
Jiang Yuechu stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
You Wujiang looked in disbelief.
"You... why do you want to raise the price again?! Last time at Yangzhou, I only paid fifty pounds, why do you need so much here?!"
"That's Yangzhou."
Jiang Yuechu said confidently, "There is a severe drought in Henan now and supplies are scarce, so prices are naturally high."
You Wujiang frowned and thought.
It seems... there is indeed such a thing.
"Okay... okay."
In the private room.
The food tastes great.
You Wujiang held a roast chicken and chewed it until his mouth was full of oil.
Jiang Yuechu drank the soup slowly, feeling inside Sumeru Space from time to time.
Along the way.
By various reasons.
Switch from the initial bowl of noodles to a piece of meat the size of a fingernail.
Until later.
The reasons are all strange.
But this silly boy You Wujiang is not only talented in martial arts.
In terms of human sophistication and arithmetic transactions, it is as simple as a blank piece of paper.
As long as Jiang Yuechu speaks in a serious manner and adds some small favors.
I just gave it to him in a daze.
Now, the Demon flesh and blood in the space has piled up into a hill.
Jiang Yuechu A little calculation.
Well...
The quantity is enough.
Tonight, maybe we can break through to Eight-Pattern!
At this time.
You Wujiang finished eating the roast chicken and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
Nothing to do.
He inserted Divine Sense into the Storage Jade Pendant on his waist.
I want to see the condition of the corpse of River-Overturning Demon King.
After all, it is a public property that Grandmother asked thousands of times. Although I cut a little bit and went out to exchange for food along the way, it should be harmless.
However.
The next moment.
You Wujiang stood up suddenly, his eyes widening.
"This... this..."
Divine Sense swept.
Within the space of the jade pendant.
The corpse of Demon King was originally as huge as a mountain.
At this moment...
A big chunk was missing out of thin air!
You Wujiang pointed at the indifferent girl opposite with trembling hands.
"You... you..."
Jiang Yuechu put down the soup bowl and raised his eyelids with an innocent look on his face.
"What am I? Didn't you change it yourself?"
