Chapter 324 Roasted Rabbit
"Zhuge Muqing?"
Hearing this, Cao Xiaochun was stunned. Why did this warlock come to him?
The two of them had never said a word in the exchange match or in the dungeon. Cao Xiaochun was still a little curious about this squinty-eyed man. He didn't know what he was doing in Osakura.
"Let him in."
Thinking for a while, Cao Xiaochun said lightly.
Soon, a man and a woman came to the courtyard under the leadership of Taogu Liya. In the hall, Taogu Liya saw that Ceres was still sticking to Cao Xiaochun, narrowed her eyes, walked straight up, and sat on her thighs without hesitation, as if to swear sovereignty.
"The life of Shuizun is really enviable. It seems that the Uesugi family really cares for you, the alchemist."
Seeing Taogu Liya's actions, Zhuge Muqing and Hu Meier were stunned at first, and then teased.
"I know you. In the previous copy, I wonder what's the matter with you two coming to see me so late?"
Cao Xiaochun didn't care about the two people's teasing, but just asked slowly.
"I'm entrusted by someone to give you a gift."
Zhuge Muqing smiled, then took out a red gift box from the space ring, slowly walked forward and put it on the table next to Cao Xiaochun.
Seeing this, Cao Xiaochun didn't doubt anything, and gently opened the gift box, but the things inside made his mouth twitch. Although he quickly guessed who sent it, the appearance of the gift was really distressing.
In the gorgeous gift box, there was a roasted rabbit lying quietly, but the person who made this thing was obviously not skilled. Not to mention that it was roasted black, if there were no rough outlines, I guess I wouldn't be able to recognize what the original body of this thing was.
Momogu Liya and Ceres on the side saw this thing and frowned. Did these two come here to provoke today?
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but be on guard secretly.
"After so long, her cooking skills are still the same..."
Cao Xiaochun's mouth corners rose, thinking of the time when he was in the back mountain of the academy, because he was always making food, Li Hanyan was very dissatisfied with this. According to her words, it was just roasting something, and it was as simple as it could be for him.
For this reason, Li Hanyan even raised a lot of rabbits.
However, the cooking skills of this sword emperor are really not good. Sometimes Cao Xiaochun wondered if his master's wife had put all her life skills in swordsmanship.
Sighing lightly, Cao Xiaochun stretched out his hand to break off a rabbit leg and put it in his mouth to chew. Although the familiar taste was so unpalatable that it made people frown, he did not choose to spit it out, but tasted it carefully and swallowed it.
"Not bad, I like this gift very much."
After drinking two glasses of water quickly, Cao Xiaochun raised his head and said with a smile.
"Let's go upstairs and have a chat."
Since Zhuge Muqing had established contact with Li Hanyan and found him, it proved that these two people were the help provided by Jiuzhou. Therefore, Cao Xiaochun's doubts were temporarily put aside and he could have a good chat with them.
Patting Taogu Liya's very elastic roundness, Cao Xiaochun quickly stood up and walked to the attic.
Zhuge Muqing nodded and followed him with Hu Meir.
Taogu Liya and the other two were very confused about Cao Xiaochun's behavior, but they did not choose to follow him. Instead, they looked at the burnt rabbit on the table with an inexplicable look.
"Is this thing really edible?"
Confused and curious, Taogu Liya tore off a little meat and generously gave some to Celes. Soon, two bitter faces appeared in the hall...
"How did she... find me?"
In the side room, Cao Xiaochun set up a barrier and poured two cups of tea for the two of them, saying lightly.
It seems that he has never revealed his specific whereabouts to Li Hanyan, but why Zhuge Muqing could find this place so quickly made Cao Xiaochun a little curious.
"The Sword Emperor doesn't know you are here. We just received the order from Lord Zhao to find you in Da Ying. If we find you, we will give you the things and convey the order from Jiuzhou."
"The Queen said that Jiuzhou will fully help with the matter of Dark Moon Forest, and the Dark Guards have begun to take action to help the elves form a resistance force."
Zhuge Muqing took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Originally, they just came to understand the situation of Tianzhao's tomb. Logically speaking, they could leave after the mission was completed.
And just a few days ago, Zhao Qingqing actually came to Da Ying in person and found them, promising Zhuge Muqing a huge profit to find Cao Xiaochun.
And he went to Dark Moon Forest and made plans quietly.
Zhuge Muqing considered this request for a long time and finally agreed. He and Hu Meir were both born in small countries, and the resources in the country were not very good.
If they could rely on the giant Jiuzhou, it would be of great benefit to their future practice.
In order to find Cao Xiaochun, Zhuge Muqing risked entering the inner scene again and paid nearly twenty years of his life to get a hint along the way.
"Far away in the sky, close at hand."
According to the hint and the familiarity with Shui Handi, Zhuge Muqing decided to come and try. If Shui Handi was not Cao Xiaochun, the worst result would be a reputation of being disrespectful to the master, which was not a big deal.
Fortunately, he made the right bet. When Cao Xiaochun ate the rabbit leg, he knew that the three words Shui Handi represented three people, Shui Yunji, Li Hanyi, and Li Hanyan!
As for the word emperor, it was probably just a casual word.
Thinking of this, a hint of gossip flashed in Zhuge Muqing's eyes.
According to the gossip in Jiuzhou, Cao Xiaochun has two girlfriends, and Li Hanyi is his master's niece.
But looking at it this way today, Cao Xiaochun seems to have a different feeling for his master...
Tsk, so sour...
Hearing Zhuge Muqing's words, Cao Xiaochun also roughly understood what he meant. He didn't expect that this man was quite capable. He was confident that he disguised himself well. In Da Ying, Zhuge Muqing was the first person who could see through his identity.
"So, you plan to be the middleman between me and Zhao Qingming?"
After thinking about it, Cao Xiaochun said lightly. Since Zhao Qingqing went to the Dark Moon Forest in person, there would soon be resistance forces rising in it, and Ceres was now with him, and both needed a reassurance.
"Yes, this is the order I received. If you don't believe it, I can swear."
Zhuge Muqing nodded and said very confidently.
The conversation between the two was almost open. He believed that Cao Xiaochun would trust him. After all, he knew too well the feeling of fighting alone.
The loneliness was not so easy to bear.
Cao Xiaochun thought for a long time and finally nodded.
"You're too polite. Since you were sent by Jiuzhou, I naturally believe you. Forget about the oath. Just sign a Heavenly Dao Contract..."
