Chapter 732: Join the land

Imperial capital.
Yao Dou is now taking care of the wine shop that lost its shopkeeper in the old street.
He doesn’t even go to Dong Ao’s martial arts hall often. He comes to the door of the wine shop every day as usual, opens the door, and waits for the
Jing Treasure Owner
who seems to never come back, occasionally sitting on the threshold, holding the old bowl. Everyone on the street never drank enough light wine. After tasting a few times with Dong Ao on his back, he thought that this kind of unflavored wine was not his own taste at all, and gradually lost interest, just holding it in his hand. Thinking about something.
Today's old street, although there are still some popularity, it is countless times more deserted than before.
There is no such thing as the black girl who has been sullen all day long, and there is no such thing as the gentle and plump Aunt Lu with a gentle smile. The sound of iron striking deep in the alley never sounded again, and Lu Xianzhi and the mysterious young man who played chess on the corner of the street also lost their tracks.
The Jing shopkeeper in the wine shop went to the horizon with one shot, and even Gu Haoran, who often puts out a mess and gave people fortune-telling, never returned.
Except for the medical hall in the deepest part of the old street, there seems to be only a few people left in the ‘neighborhood’ of the whole street.
Wow.
Thinking of things in his heart, Yao Dou used his strength, and half a bowl of wine was spilled on the ground, awakening him from that state of thinking.
Looking at the water marks on the ground, Yao Dou shook his head, helped the door frame to stand up, and was about to enter the wine shop. A voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Is it closing?"
"The strong!"
Yao Dou's body tightened instantly, and the arm holding the wine bowl suddenly stabilized, making the remaining wine level as quiet as a mirror.
Almost less than an instant, he entered a state of preparation, did not immediately turn around, but quickly thought.
Being able to appear behind him silently and without any notice before that indicates that the opponent must be a master.
And it was the kind of master he could never deal with.
"Do you want to call it Old Dong?"
"Now call for help, Old Dong should come soon."
"Although it is ashamed, it is better than losing your life."
Yao Dou's thoughts turned one by one.
He didn't consider other possibilities. From his cognition, how could such a powerful master suddenly appear in a place where birds don't like Lao Cai?
If it hadn't taken into account the power gap between the two sides, Yao Dou would turn around and attack almost immediately.
"If you don't close the door, bring me a pot of bar."
Just when Yao Dou was about to shout for help, that voice rang again, but Yao Dou heard real footsteps this time.
When the figure passed over him, he looked at it from the sidelines, but he saw a face he hadn't expected at all.
"Land from?"
Yao Dou's tight body relaxed and frowned, "Why did you come to the old street?"
Lu Li entered the wine shop, looked around twice at random, patted the sleeping little fur ball on his shoulder, then sat down in a place closest to the door, and said lightly: "Why can't I come?"
Asked by Lu Li, Yao Douyu was choked for a moment, and then said: "Aren't you supposed to be in Yanzhou? Run back to the imperial capital."
Even so, Yao Dou went to get a pot of wine and put it on Lu Li's table together with the wine bowl.
Lu Li poured himself a bowl and said to Yao Dou who was standing next to him: "Sit down."
"Of course I have something to do when I come to the imperial capital."
Hearing Lu Li's tone of not treating himself as an outsider at all, Yao Dou wanted to make a sarcasm, but when he thought that the guy in front of him who was about his age was already a master, and the outside world was rumored that his methods had given him a "devil king". After receiving the title, Yao Dou hesitated for a moment, and sat down awkwardly, saying, "Gu Haoran is not in Old Street."
He knew about the "senior brother" relationship between Gu Haoran and Lu Li, and believed that Lu Li came to Old Street to find Gu Haoran.
"He will come."
Lu Li smiled at Yao Dou, drank the weak drink, frowned and commented: "Too weak."
Yao Dou glanced at him. Although Lu Li looked very unpleasant, he unexpectedly felt that his'taste' was similar to his own. The hostility in his heart was slightly reduced, but he still sternly did not speak.
"And I'm here this time, not just for Gu Haoran."
"Compared to that cheap brother, I am more interested in you."
Lu Li put down his wine bowl and looked up at Yao Dou, "Do you want to join the land department?"
Join the land department?
Yao Dou was startled, not knowing what Lu Li was making.
Yao Dou is certainly no stranger to the prestige of the land.
Even if the land before it was known for its mystery, he lived in a place like Old Street, and he was naturally like a sharp knife to the sacred kingdom of Swallowing Heaven.
Moreover, after the great cleansing that shocked the entire Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven, the word "Dibu" was covered with a layer of blood. It was a prestige piled up with the life of a strong man, and it was enough to make each of the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven The family feels the power of fear.
Yao Dou didn't expect that Lu Li would actually propose to let himself join the land department.
But what he knows is that Lu Li has this qualification and ability.
Although Lu Li is nominally the last leader of the land department, he has actually surpassed Cao Hanbing and Zheng An, and his control over the land department is second only to the big leader Chen Yang.
After thinking for a while, Yao Dou suppressed his heart, and asked sternly, "Why are you looking for me? There shouldn't be a shortage of masters in the area? Even if I go to the area, what good will it do for you?"
"benefit?"
Lu Li laughed, "If I say that there is no benefit, I just want to make a good relationship with Dong Ao, do you believe it?"
Yao Dou's face changed slightly, looking at Lu Li, it seemed that some anger was brewing.
Although Yao Dou is a lame man and rarely speaks, he is extremely arrogant in his heart. The most annoying thing is that others add the word'Dong Ao' before his name.
Even if Dong Ao treats him like a father and teaches him martial arts, the two of them are really in love with father and son. But the more so, the more Yao Dou wants to prove himself and prove that he is'Yao Dou', not'Dong Ao's disciple'.
Lu Li's words undoubtedly touched his angry scales.
After a moment of silence, Yao Dou resisted the impulse, and said with disdain: "In this case, what good is it for me to join the district?"
"Of course it was tempered."
Lu Li picked up the wine bowl, took another sip of the wine, and smiled: "You are far superior to martial artists of the same realm. Even if you face a master, you may not have the power to fight. You think you are a jade, and It is also very clear that I lack experience and do not have much actual combat experience. This is your biggest shortcoming and also your biggest shortcoming."
"Although Dong Ao taught you very well and strong, he also protected you too well. What kind of warrior who has never seen blood before?"
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at Yao Dou, whose face was getting worse and worse, "You shouldn't even feel the fear between life and death, right?"
"You fart!"
Yao Dou was so excited that it happened on the spot.
But in the next moment, he saw a purple light flashing in front of his eyes. Before he could even react, his brow was stung by the cold and sharp touch.
Tao Huajian pointed at his eyebrows, exuding an extremely cold "killing intent".
It was the first time that Yao Dou faced the murderous aura so directly, he was instantly stunned and his mind went blank.
I even forgot the cruel words to be said later.
Even forgetting that he is also a warrior, the body protector has no time to stimulate.
"Look, in the face of life and death, you are not prepared at all."
Lu Li hooked his fingers, the Peach Flower Sword buzzed, circled Yao Dou, and finally flew back into his sleeve.
Yao Dou was still immersed in the ‘feeling’ that made him chill, and for a moment he didn’t know how to refute it.
Fortunately, at this time, Gu Haoran sounded outside the wine shop with a somewhat helpless voice: "Junior brother, all have become masters, and even scared a ‘child’, are you not ashamed?"
"Strictly speaking, I am also a'child'."
Lu Li didn't look at Yao Dou again, but at the front of the wine shop. Gu Haoran smiled bitterly, followed by the expressionless Dong Ao behind him.
Yao Dou seemed to come back to his senses, his body relaxed and his back was completely wet with cold sweat.
He took a deep breath, trying to say something, but opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
Because Lu Li's previous killing intent was not reserved, Yao Dou almost thought for a moment that he was really going to die.
He glanced at Lu Li, his fist hidden under the table clenched and then loosened, shock and fear mixed together, his expression extremely complex.
