All-Rounded Strategy Game - Chapter 182
At first, Chen Si was scared to death by Jiang Li. After falling to the ground and using his limbs, he crawled back and tried to escape. He suddenly felt that something was wrong after climbing half a meter away. He looked back boldly!
He saw that Jiang Li was dressed in the clothes of his own village, his face was clean, except for some inconspicuous bruises, where there was any blood stains, he was a big living person!
Realizing that he had been deceived, he was angry, and the fear just now disappeared. He reached out his hand to pick up the sabre that had fallen aside, got up from the ground vigorously, and pointed at Jiang Li with a fierce face: “Okay, it turns out. It was you, a short-lived ghost scholar, last night. Let me see if I won’t cut you off today!!”
Jiang Li didn’t expect this Chen Si to react very quickly. Seeing that he was angry, he would step forward and kill him, so he changed his face in a second, dropped the bandit half-tied in his hand, rushed to Xuanqing’s side, grabbed him by his side. Hand, said anxiously: “Little master, help!!”
Xuan Qing: “…”
The speed of his counseling in this second made Xuan Qing really amazed. Seeing him clutching his hand tightly, the corner of his eyes jumped involuntarily, and he said the sentence that he had endured for two days: “…Don’t be the donor. Use your hands and feet.”
“Huh?” Jiang Li was taken aback, then let go of his hand and walked around behind him, “Little master, please protect.”
Xuan Qing: “…”
Chen Si saw that the two of them didn’t put himself in his eyes at all, shouted, and rushed towards the two of them holding the knife.
Jiang Li yelled: “Wow, wow!! Little master, be careful!!”
“Shut up.” Xuan Qing got a headache when he yelled. He dropped this sentence and rushed to face Chen Si. When the two passed by, Chen Si didn’t realize what had happened, and she fell down. On the ground.
Xuan Qing retracted her hand and looked down at Chen Si who was lying on the ground. He heard the applause of “Papa Papa” coming from behind, accompanied by Jiang Li’s exaggerated voice: “Little Master, you are really amazing. Together is the safest!!!”
For his exaggerated appreciation, Xuan Qing did not pay attention to it, but bent down to pick up the rope on the ground, and threw it to him, beckoning him to work quickly.
“Come on!” Jiang Li didn’t talk too much, and started to tie up the remaining bandits.
After tying all the people together, while Xuan Qing was not paying attention, he silently took the lives of several bandits who had killed the original body, including Chen Si.
In this way, it can be regarded as revenge for the original body, and I hope he can rest in peace.
After solving the guard at the door, Jiang Li and Xuan Qing stayed in the cottage for one night.
Jiang Lixia’s medicine has a long effect, and there is no need for the two of them to rush down the mountain to report to the officials. Everything will be discussed tomorrow morning.
…
The next day, when Jiang Li got up, the bandits in the open space outside were still in a state of fainting.
He got up early, before Xuanqing, who was in the room, touched his empty stomach and turned to the kitchen.
The past few days have not eaten well, Jiang Li feels that his mouth is about to fade out. Seeing that there are a lot of ingredients in the cottage’s kitchen, he rolled up his sleeves and started to make a fire for breakfast.
Xuan Qing didn’t eat meat, and he didn’t touch the meat in the breakfast he gave Xuan Qing. He used bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, tofu and other ingredients; of course, he didn’t need to consider so much in his own words.
When Xuanqing got up, she saw white smoke from the roof over the kitchen as soon as she left the house. At present, there were only two sober people in this cottage, he and Jiang Li. Without even thinking about it, Jiang Li was there, so he walked to the kitchen.
As soon as he arrived at the kitchen door, Xuan Qing could smell a very strong vegetable fragrance coming from it.
Jiang Li was putting the soup on the table, hearing the sound of footsteps, and seeing him walking in as soon as he looked up, he unconsciously smiled at him and said, “Little master, good morning.”
Xuan Qing’s gaze was fixed on his smile, and his heart suddenly seemed to be knocked unsuspectingly by something, which made him feel unspeakable.
This strange feeling made him stunned for a moment, and he paused unconsciously.
Jiang Li watched him stop suddenly and was about to ask him what’s wrong, when he heard the system remind in his mind: “Congratulations to the host, the male lead’s favorability has increased by 5%, and the current favorability is 15%.”
After speaking, it forced a sentence in a low voice: “Master host, cooking is a good assist, keep working hard!”
When Jiang Li heard the words, he laughed in his heart: “Okay, little cute.”
In fact, he feels strange that his favorability will increase. What he is more curious about is why Xuanqing’s favorability in this world will rise so slowly after passing through the five worlds, much slower than the previous worlds.
Is it because the game data was temporarily suspended before? What went wrong at the time?
None of these Jiang Li is known, including the system can’t be inquired.
Why does this strategy game exist, who is the creator, what is the ultimate goal of the game, and how long will he survive in this virtual space? These problems have been plagued Jiang Li.
But it doesn’t matter. After experiencing so many worlds, for him now, every world in the game, every rebirth, is no different from the real world.
More importantly, he is very sure of one thing, that is, as long as his lover still exists in this virtual space, he will not stop his pursuit.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li put all the troubles behind him, and said to Xuanqing, “Come over for breakfast. You will solve my food and clothing problems these days. I will repay you today.”
Xuan Qing ignored the subtle and almost non-existent anomalies in her heart, walked in front of Jiang Li, and looked down at the dishes on the table.
The dishes on the table are very rich. Among them are a few vegetarian dishes, green onion tofu, vegetarian stir-fried vegetables, and boiled bamboo shoot tips. They were prepared for him at first glance.
Xuanqing doesn’t know how to cook. The food that Jiang Li and Jiang Li have eaten at the Po Temple these days are boiled wild vegetables and roasted sweet potatoes. They don’t taste much. If he is used to eating it, he doesn’t feel anything. Now I see Jiang Li. The breakfast specially prepared for me felt that Jiang Li had eaten too shabbyly a few days ago, after all, Jiang Li was still a wounded.
Thinking of this, Xuan Qing’s heart just calmed down, and a sense of guilt that he had never felt before grew unexpectedly. He looked at Jiang Li: “You…”
“What am I?” Jiang Li pulled off the stool and motioned him to sit down and eat quickly. “I’m good at cooking. Although the food for you is vegan, it must be delicious. Eat quickly. I’m almost hungry. died.”
Listening to his urging words, Xuan Qing felt that there was a little more life around him, not as deserted as when he woke up in the morning, so he sat down and picked up Jiang Li’s meal for him.
With a mouthful of rice into his mouth, Xuan Qing’s movements stopped for a moment.
The white rice is moderately hard and soft, with a hint of stickiness in the soft glutinous rice. You can taste very high-quality rice. Now the rice is not cheap. It seems that these bandits live a fine life.
But what makes Xuanqing more concerned about is that, as Jiang Li said, his cooking skills are indeed very good, because to cook such a good-tasting rice, the amount of water and heat are very important.
After watching Xuanqing eat a few bites of food, Jiang Li asked aloud: “How is it? Is it delicious?”
Xuan Qing met the expectation in his eyes and nodded: “Yeah.”
Although it is a vegetarian dish, I can tell that Jiang Li has really taken great pains to make it.
Chopped shiitake mushrooms are put into the tofu with shallots for braising. The taste of shiitake mushrooms is incorporated into the tofu, and the seasoning prepared by him is very fragrant and delicious. The white bamboo shoots are only cooked in water, but they are dipped in sauce. It is also specially prepared by him, with hints of spicy and sour taste, which is extremely appetizing.
As for the vegetable stir-fried vegetables, they are also very smooth and delicious.
After seeing him nodding, Jiang Li laughed: “The time is a bit rushed, but I just made something casually. When I get back to our inn, I will make you some other dishes. I will cook a lot of vegetarian dishes.”
Before today, Xuan Qing had not promised to leave Qingshui Town with Jiang, and even yesterday he thought that after solving the bandits today, he would part ways with Jiang Li and continue his journey of experience.
However, at this time he couldn’t say a word of rejection. He always felt that when he said a negative word, the light in Jiang Li’s eyes would dim, and the smile on his lips would disappear.
Xuan Qing didn’t want this.
After the meal, Jiang Li and Xuan Qing cleaned up and left the cottage.
It was already Chen Shi, and it took the two of them half an hour to go down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, I happened to encounter an uncle who was about 50 years old driving by in an ox cart. Jiang Li stopped the cart without saying a word.
The original appearance is similar to Jiang Li’s original appearance as usual. Good-looking people can always arouse the favor of others, so he stepped forward and stopped the car. The uncle was not angry. He pulled the rope in his hand and stopped the cow. .
Jiang Li learned how to bow to the uncle in the way he usually bows to the elders, and then asks with a smile on his face: “Hello, uncle, where are you going?”
The uncle was fat and very kind. Although Jiang Li was dressed in shabby clothes, but behaved very politely, he said, “Go to Xincheng County, brother, what are you doing here?”
Jiang Li knowingly asked about this. The road leading to Xincheng County. After the uncle answered, he immediately said: “Hello, uncle, I am a student of Puzhou University, and my friends are on the way home from the academy. Unfortunately, we were robbed by bandits and all valuable things were robbed. Can you take us a ride? Let’s go to Xincheng.”
In this era, scholars are very respected, and Puzhou University College is also a very well-known college. When the uncle heard that Jiang Li was a student at the University, his eyes immediately changed, and he greeted him very enthusiastically: “Of course, as long as you don’t dislike it, come up!”
“Thank you, uncle!” Jiang Li saluted the other party again, then turned his head and waved to Xuanqing who was standing aside: “Little master, come here!”
Xuanqing stepped forward, bowed his hands together, and then got into the car with Jiang Li.
There is still some distance to the next county seat. It must be very time-consuming to walk alone. This makes it a lot more convenient, and the ox cart is covered with a thick layer of withered grass, which makes it soft to sit on.
“The two little brothers sit down!” The uncle yelled and drove the bullock cart forward quickly.
Jiang Li was lying on the withered grass, with his hands resting behind his head, one foot on the knee of the other, enjoying the comfort of the warm sunshine on his body.
Xuanqing sat next to her, sitting cross-legged, chanting with her eyes closed.
When he was halfway through the reading, he suddenly heard Jiang Li’s muffled laugh. He didn’t want to care about it. Unexpectedly, he laughed more and more, so he could only stop and open his eyes to look at him.
Jiang Li was shaking with a smile, and when he opened his eyes, he smiled even harder.
Xuan Qing: “…what are you laughing at?”
“Sorry, little master.” Jiang Li clutched his stomach and pointed to the top of his head. “In this direction you are sitting, your head is directly against the sun, and the top of your head looks like it is shining hahahahaha!”
Xuan Qing: “…”
He looked back and saw that the sun was facing him, and he was speechless for a while. Fortunately, the uncle turned a corner and separated him from the sun.
With the ox cart, the two arrived at the gate of Xincheng County in only a quarter of an hour.
Jiang Li and Xuanqing got out of the car, thanked the uncle, and then entered the city. Before leaving, Jiang Li secretly stuffed his car with money when the uncle was not paying attention.
When they arrived in the county seat, the two first found a place where they wrote letters on their behalf. Jiang Li wrote a letter to explain the situation of the bandits clearly, and sent them to the county government office. Then Jiang Li wrote a letter to the family and mailed it here. The father in his hometown told him that he would go back a few days later, so that he didn’t have to worry.
Xuan Qing watched him take out the silver to the store. After leaving the shop, he asked in confusion, “Where did the silver come from?”
“Oh, I took a bit from the cottage.” Jiang Li finished speaking, fearing that he would misunderstand that he was greedy for money, and then explained, “Although it is said that doing good deeds does not ask for anything in return, but the rivers and lakes are urgent. We are now penniless, which is really inconvenient. .”
But he was too worried, Xuan Qing didn’t say anything, just nodded.
The follow-up work of the bandits is handled by the Yamen, and there is nothing left for them. Jiang Li proposed to live in Xincheng for a day to feel the local customs here, and then go on his way tomorrow.
Xuan Qing had no objection, and the two went to a nearby clothing store to buy clean clothes, then found an inn to have lunch, and then stopped by.
When they arrived at the inn, Xiao Er came up to greet the two of them: “Two guest officials, do you want to stay in the shop?”
Jiang Li said, “We will stay in the shop together.”
“I’m really sorry, the guest officer, there are a lot of students who went to Puzhou University to rush for the exam recently. We only have one room left in our store. Can you squeeze it?” Xiao Er said apologetically.
His words reminded Jiang Li that this is the time every year when students go to the entrance examination of Puzhou University College. Based on his experience in previous years, there must be more than this inn, and other inns as well.
After discussing with Xuan Qing, Jiang Li settled the room. After the two had lunch, Xiao Er led them upstairs.
Although there is only one room, the room is not small, the decoration is very antique, and the cleaning is very clean. Jiang Li is very satisfied.
Jiang Li’s clothes are still the ones he wore when he came to this world. Although he bought new clothes just now, he still wore dirty clothes, so he had to take a shower first.
So he ordered Xiao Er to prepare hot water. After Xiao Er left, he smiled and asked Xuan Qing: “Little Master, after a long journey, are you tired?”
Xuan Qing looked at him and motioned for him to speak.
Jiang Li flexed his hands, looking eager to try; “Anyway, I’m going to sleep together at night, do I want to take a bath together later? I’ll rub your back for you!”
Xuan Qing: “…”
Donor, please respect yourself.
