Chapter 875 Cordyceps Tea

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "How far is your cave master's residence? Why should you drink tea here?"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "General Xuanyuan, we are really tired all the way. Since there is hot tea here, we might as well drink a cup of it, it is also good to warm up our health."

The lead man immediately said: "Mr. Chu, there is Cordyceps tea in the teahouse, which is a specialty of our ghost recipe. It is very good for the body and produces very little. People outside cannot drink such tea."

"Oh?" Chu Huan handed the horse to Sun Zikong, "As for the local customs, since there is such a good tea, you really can't miss it."

Everyone arranged all the horses immediately. Chu Huan took the lead in going to the bamboo building. Two tables were placed in the bamboo building, and hot water was burning in the corner. Two Guifang people were cooking tea in the bamboo building. Seeing Chu Huan and others coming in, they hurriedly asked everyone to sit down. Xuanyuan Sheng arranged a few guard warriors to guard outside, and the others entered the bamboo building. Although not everyone was interested in Guifang's tea, Chu Huan had already told him before coming to respect Guifang people, follow the customs and sit down and deal with it casually.

Everyone divided the two tables and Guifang people put tea cups on it. However, Guifang's tea cups were different from other places. They were made of bamboo tubes, and the tea cup itself had a faint bamboo fragrance.

After placing the tea cup, the two ghost prescription men each took a bamboo tube, took out the tea from it and put it into the bamboo cup, and introduced: "This is the Cordyceps tea from our ghost prescription, with several rare medicinal materials, and insects in the mountains...!" Seeing a strange look on the face of an official from the Ministry of Revenue Department, staring at the tea cup. The tea leaves of this Cordyceps tea were really mixed with dried insects, and she smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, these insects can be used as medicine. They are very good for the body and don't look good, but when you drink it, it has a unique taste. Only the most honorable guests will present our Cordyceps tea."

Chu Huan looked at the Gui Fang man who was boiling water next to him and asked, "I heard that making tea is a very particular thing. There is a special tea house here. Is it a special tea man here to send him a special tea man here?"

The Gui Fangren who led the way said, "They are here specifically." He pointed to the two people who had been waiting in the bamboo house before, "They are very knowledgeable about Cordyceps tea."

At this time, the hot water had already boiled. The two ghosts brought the hot water kettle and poured hot water into the tea cups in turn. The hot water floated in, and the heat wafted up, with a strange smell, with the smell of medicine, and the bamboo fragrance of the bamboo cup.

Chu Huan picked up the teacup, leaned closer to smell it, his face full of intoxication, and said with a smile: "The fragrance of this tea is really strong, yes, is there any particular thing about the water used for your ghost table to make tea?"

"Shui?" Gui Fangren was stunned and looked at each other.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "I really talked to the old ghost master about the tea in the ghost formula before. The old ghost master said that there are several springs in the Great Qimeng Mountains. Cordyceps tea is the best tea in the Great Qimeng Mountains. Is it soaked in spring water?"

The Gui Fangren, who was leading the way, immediately raised his thumbs up and smiled: "That's right, Cordyceps tea is soaked in spring water. It turns out that Lord Chu also knows it." He raised his hand and said: "Please taste it. Cordyceps tea will be a little bitter as soon as it is drawn down, but the fragrance will soon fill the mouth."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Thank you for treating such precious tea." He picked up the teacup and leaned against his lips. Several ghosts looked at Chu Huan, as if they wanted to wait for Chu Huan to evaluate Cordyceps tea. Seeing that Chu Huan was about to drink it, Xuanyuan Sheng suddenly said, "Sir, wait!"

Chu Huan paused, and everyone looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai. Xuanyuan Shengcai had already picked up his bamboo cup and handed it to the guide, and smiled faintly: "Although the lord said that he would follow the local customs, but Brother Guifang is so enthusiastic, we cannot be rude. This brother, we are the guest, you are the master, and the master follows the guest. In order to express our gratitude to you, we will pay our respects to you first!" He pushed the tea cup in front of the man, almost approaching the man's chest, "Brother, please drink tea first!"

Several ghosts were immediately looking at each other. The leader's eyes twitched, and he smiled awkwardly: "This...!"

Chu Huan also laughed and said, "Yes, Gui Fang will be our brothers from now on. We must treat him like brothers. This brother, you are waiting at the foot of the mountain for hard work. You must drink this cup of tea first no matter what." He put down the tea cup and said solemnly: "If brothers don't drink this cup of tea, we can't drink this cup of tea!"

Among Chu Huan's subordinates, although some people felt disgusted when they saw this Cordyceps tea, some people felt very rare and eager to try it out. They really wanted to taste what this strange tea tasted. However, Chu Huan did not drink it, and everyone dared not lose their manners and did not dare to drink it. Some people were holding the tea cup and looking at the tea leaves. When they saw Chu Huan suddenly put down the tea cup, they also put down the bamboo cup.

Several ghosts changed color slightly. Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes were bright and his aura was amazing. He was tall and covered in armor, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, giving people a sense of oppression. The leader couldn't help but take two steps back, no longer smiling, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chu, what are you... what are you doing? Follow the local customs. Is it wrong for us to invite you to have tea?"

"I didn't say you were wrong." Chu Huan smiled and said, "We are just expressing our gratitude to you!"

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with the tea?" The lead man looked unhappy, "If Lord Chu doubts us Guifang people so much, then we don't know if we should trust you!"

Chu Huan looked like a torch, staring at the eyes of the guide, and said calmly: "When did I suspect there is something wrong with this tea? I just give you a cup of tea. Why is your reaction so excited?" He glanced at several other ghost square people, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Is there really something wrong with this tea?"

"If Lord Chu is so suspicious, there is no need to drink tea." The lead man sneered: "I will go up the mountain to report to the cave master and tell the cave master that Lord Chu has arrived."

Qiu Ruxue, who had never said a word by Chu Huan, was wearing a straw hat. He pressed down from the straw hat. He could only see half of his nose and mouth, but could not see his eyes. He suddenly said, "I'm afraid you won't see the so-called cave master..." As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already gotten up. He had drawn his sword in his hand. He rushed towards the lead man like lightning.

Qiu Ruxue was blowing his knife, and it was very sudden. Many people were shocked. The leader saw Qiu Ruxue coming, but his reaction was very quick. He had already retreated. A ghost man carrying a kettle next to him was also very agile. The kettle had already smashed towards Qiu Ruxue, and the hot hot water inside had already splashed out of the kettle.

The lead passerby retreated, and Xuanyuan Sheng could not allow him to retreat. The teacup in his hand had already been thrown into the man's face, bullying him in front of him. He actually reached out and grabbed the man, shouting sternly: "Where can you run!"

After all, the Guards were not vegetarians. Xuanyuan Sheng took action at this time, and everyone immediately understood what was going on. Two guards had already escorted Chu Huan and drew their swords in their hands. The others had already pounced on the Ghost Square people like wolves and tigers. They didn't care what was going on. Since Xuanyuan Sheng had all taken action, it meant that it was time to take action.

The Guards were all elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. As soon as these people took action, they had the advantage in terms of combat effectiveness and number of people. The Guifang people in the bamboo building were obviously not ready to take action with Chu Huan's people. When Xuanyuan Shengcai and others took action, the people immediately retreated and each flashed to the window. In the blink of an eye, two or three people jumped out of the window.

The leader also wanted to leave, but his speed was far less fast than the speed of Qin Ruxue.

He flashed over Xuanyuan Shengcai's hand, but Qiu Ruxue had already rushed over, the sound of the sword was clear, the sword light was like lightning, and a touch of blood red splashed out, extremely charming, and a human head had already flew out in the charming red.

At this time, a guard warrior wanted to jump out of the window to chase, Xuanyuan Sheng said sternly: "Don't chase, protecting lord!" At this time, several people had already jumped down, but a ghost man was forced to the corner of the wall by two guard warriors. The man looked terrified on his face. Facing the two tall and mighty guard warriors, he was unarmed and stepped back, with his body against the bamboo and wooden wall. Chu Huan had already stood up, carried his hands on his back, looked at the man coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Who sent you here? As long as you say it, you can live!"

The man saw the knife with cold light around him, his body trembled, opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. At this moment, he heard the man screaming "ah" and saw a big knife protruding from the man's chest. Everyone was surprised that the knife had been quickly pulled back. The man covered his chest, looked down, then swayed, and then threw himself forward to the ground, twitched for a few seconds before it stopped moving.

Everyone looked at the bamboo and wood wall and found that there was a gap between the bamboo and wood that was stretched wide. It was obvious that the knife was penetrated through the gap.

Qiu Ruxue had already put away the knife at this time, and Xuanyuan Sheng took a look at Qiu Ruxue. In fact, until now, Xuanyuan Sheng didn't know what the origin of Qiu Ruxue was. He only knew that there was such an inexplicable person around Chu Huan. Seeing his sword skills today, it was really sharp. Chu Huan gave the cold moon blade to Qiu Ruxue, obviously he valued this person very much.

It was already very dark, and Xuanyuan Sheng walked to Chu Huan and frowned and said, "Sir, is there something wrong with Guifang here? Why do these Guifang people ambush us here?"

At this time, Qiu Ruxue had already taken a silver needle to explore the tea, glanced at the silver needle, and sneered: "There is indeed poisonous in the tea... Sir, it seems that they really want to kill us!"

Chu Huan frowned, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "The Ghost Square people won't do this." He looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai and asked, "General Xuanyuan, why are we here this time?"

"Isn't it that to count Guifang's household registration and to draw out land for them?"

"No," Chu Huan walked to the gate of the bamboo building. It was already dark, and there were dense forests and steep stones around him. A gust of cold wind blew. Everyone around him seemed to feel that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at the bamboo building. "If you are a ghost party, you see that the court wants to solve their survival problems for them, would you still send someone to assassinate the officials of the court? Once we really die here, do you know what the consequences are?"

"The army is approaching, and the ghosts will not stay!" Xuanyuan Sheng said in a daze.

"If we are killed here, the ghost party will definitely not escape the disaster." Chu Huan said slowly: "Even if the ghost party is really confused, they cannot be so hasty. Since they want to instigate the tea, why send a few people who don't understand the tea ceremony at all? People who understand the tea ceremony can never make tea with such hot boiled water. And when making tea, the water is like a trickle. They are pouring water, not making tea. Guifang people have lived in the Central Plains for hundreds of years and cannot know nothing about the tea ceremony. Since this is a place where tea drinks and there are special tea people, they will not be so vulgar...!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "The last general is just suspicious, so he tried it. After a try, there was indeed a problem!" He came from a famous family and naturally knew a lot about tea ceremony. Chu Huan had been in the officialdom for more than a year. Although he was not proficient in tea ceremony, he naturally knew the skills of the entry-level skills.

Chu Huan looked at the dim forest and murmured to himself: "Who is behind the scenes to assassinate us?"
