The clouds were thin and the moon was high. The barking of dogs came from the alleys in the dark night. The figures of a person and a donkey appeared in the thin mist on the long street. After leaving the imperial city, Lu Liangsheng did not rush to leave. There were lanterns on a nearby street.

The stall was an old man, busy picking up the noodles in the pot. When he heard the copper ringtone approaching, he raised his sight and saw a gentle scholar with a fluttering robe leading an old donkey.

He quickly put down the colander, wiped the water stains on his hands, and arranged a bench.

"This young master, I only have soup noodles here. If you don't pick on your mouth, just sit here."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and tied the old donkey, and took the master who had passed the bookshelf compartment and came over: "Don't pick on your mouth, come four bowls."

"Okay...oh?" The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at the street, and turned to look at the scholar who had already sat down, "Young master, don't think I'm too naughty. Four bowls of noodles are a bit too much, you can't finish it alone."

"One bowl, give me this toad, and there are still people coming to the other two bowls later."

"Toad... toad?"

The old man saw a toad in a small jacket being put on the table by a scholar, shook his head and sighed, "As long as the customer pays, he can eat a toad."

I picked up the bowl of noodles in the pot, put the seasonings, poured the soup, and brought it to the guests at another table, saying: "Eat slowly", I returned to the stove and was about to leave a handful of noodles.

A faint fragrance floated over under the nose.

When I looked up, I saw a woman in black dress walking into the stall with a little makeup, wearing a jade hairpin in a high plate of black hair, revealing her fair neck and collarbone, making the old man forget to put the noodles in his hand into the pot, and even the three guests on the table just now looked straight.

Before the old man could speak, the woman walked to the scholar's table with a smile and sat down, walked over to him, rubbing the other person's shoulder intimately.

"Old demon, what else is there to eat here?"

Mu Qiyou was pushed back with her forehead, and she still smiled and supported her chin, her beautiful eyes blinked and stared at Lu Liangsheng opposite her.

The latter glanced at the old man over there, and the old man also reacted and shook the noodles in his hand with a smile.

"That young master invites you to have something delicious."

After saying that, I stopped watching more and went to work hard on my own.

In front of the square table over there, Lu Liangsheng added the old man's words: "The soup is enough to fill your stomach."

"Oh." Qi You responded briefly with his chin. Seeing Lu Liangsheng smiling at her, biting his lower lip, he blinked his eyes playfully.

Lu Liangsheng seemed to have been electrocuted, and his whole body felt a little numb, and he subconsciously turned his gaze away.

......Where did this tree demon learn? Hong Lian doesn't even know how to provoke people.

Ahem!

The toad Taoist who was plated on the table coughed twice, opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at the man and woman in front of him, and his round webbed heads tapped on the table.

"Restrain, my teacher is still here..."

Smelling the noodles that were poured into the bowl with burnt oil and the fragrance of chopped green onions, Toad Taoist was too lazy to say the last word, so he stared at the old man and brought the noodle bowl to the table.

Before he could scare others, he put it there and quickly urged: "Liangsheng, please pick up one for me and put it to the edge of the bowl."

"Master, slow down."

Using words only three people could hear, Lu Liangsheng picked up a noodles and hung it outside the bowl, and the toad Taoist stretched out his long tongue and rolled it into his mouth, sucked it into his stomach. Qi You instinctively opened his mouth, imitating the toad's appearance, and the tongue split a few pieces and was about to poke out, and the scholar next to him knocked it on his head with chopsticks.

"You are a tree demon!"

"Is there any difference?" Qi You tilted his neck and blinked his big eyes at Lu Liangsheng.

On the side, the toad that had eaten a few noodles, curled its tongue over the oil stains on the corner of its mouth, and smacked its lips.

"Liangsheng, who else is there for a bowl?"

The fourth bowl of noodles was also brought over. When the old man walked away, Lu Liangsheng picked a cluster of noodles in his bowl and blew it. As the heat churned, he whispered.

"Come here soon!"

Sure enough, a while ago, footsteps sounded on the long streets of dark night. When he walked into the range of lanterns at night stalls, he walked in. He was wearing an official robe and slimming his face and long beards. He was Yang Su, the Duke of Yue in the palace.

Seeing a man and a woman eating noodles at the stall, her eyes swept over the toad that was sucking the noodles with Yun Danfeng, she walked straight over, sat opposite Lu Liangsheng, and picked up a bowl of noodles in front of her without hesitation, and ate it into her mouth.

"The palace rice is very good, but sometimes it is not as refreshing as this warm noodles. Fellow Su Xie Lu invites noodles."

Lu Liangsheng swallowed the pasta in his mouth, and laughed, looking at Yang Su opposite him.

"What did Duke Yue say? Didn't you let Your Majesty enfeoff the title? How can a bowl of noodles afford this love?"

"Oh, Mr. Lu will tease people too." Yang Su, who was opposite, raised her face and said this with a smile, but the two of them were in love after all, so they naturally would not take the joke seriously.

Putting down the chopsticks, he stroked his beard, and for a while, expressing his thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is hard to ask for it, so he came up with this method and forced you to come here. Besides, is your academic career so abandoned? If you enter the court, you will not be an official, but you will be the national teacher. The superiors can pray to the heaven, the ancestors, and the inferiors can use their knowledge. Both can take care of the people in the world and receive favors."

"I can't do it. I've learned all my life in military and swordsmanship. Others either concentrate on practicing Taoism or only know how to govern people's livelihood. There is no such thing as the world, but I and my clan brother know that you are the same, let alone that you are so familiar with you. Moreover, you don't have much selfishness, which is what my brother likes the most."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and finished listening, without refuting. After all, he had agreed to Yang Jian in the palace before, and he also knew his personality. Since he agreed, he would naturally come to help. As for staying in Chang'an for a long time, it would be a bit difficult.

All the family belong to Qixia Mountain, and all the parents and relatives are there. The entire Lujia Village has made it gradually become rich and its life is peaceful. If you leave, you will most likely be reluctant to leave.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Liangsheng put down his chopsticks.

"How could I not know what Duke Yue said? I am grateful to Your Majesty for paying attention to it. It is because his cultivation is shallow. He is afraid of being a national master to make people laugh at him. He said that only people in the Nascent Soul Realm dare to be a national master. At that time, Your Majesty and Duke Yue will lose face."

The toad Taoist beside the bowl wanted to speak, so he opened his mouth, looked at the apprentice's expression, and closed it again and continued to suck his noodles.

‘That girl...the delicacies in the palace.’

On the other side, Yang Su didn't think that way, shook her head: "What are you saying now? Look at me? How much cultivation is?"

"That's different. Duke Yue is a son-in-law today, and he has the merits of attacking Northern Qi and destroying Southern Chen. Who can criticize him? But Lu Liangsheng was useless and had no merits and virtues. He only killed one or two monsters who were in trouble and secretly held high positions. It's inappropriate."

Lu Liangsheng had his own thoughts, and he clicked on the table with his fingertips, and suddenly laughed: "I'll let go of the position of national teacher for the time being. I want to walk around and hone it. It happened that I accidentally got a strange thing a few days ago."

As he said that, he told Yang Suting about the Fire Sect. The latter had also pursued this sect, but unfortunately he gained little. After hearing the whole story, he couldn't help but praise him. Yang Su, the disciples who harmed the Sui Dynasty and the country, were extremely hateful.

Seeing the scholar walking to the bookshelf and coming over the book, he quickly reached out and held the other person's hand that was about to open the page.

"This thing is what you have obtained, why let others see it?"

"Is Duke Yue someone else?"

Lu Liangsheng was open and opened the book to let the paintings of Zishan Temple above fall into Yang Su's eyes. However, when he opened it, he saw that Zishan Temple, which originally occupied a large page, shrunk to a corner. The surrounding mountains were stretched, the forests were lush, and the green ink was clear and lifelike.

The night stall was lighted and the lanterns shone on the scholar's face in the light and shadow.
