The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

March is the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom.

The talented scholars decided to gather in a peach forest outside Beijing.

This vast peach grove, with its pink petals dancing in the wind, is a picturesque sight. Beneath the trees lies a carpet of green grass, occasionally spotted by wild rabbits, adding a touch of life.

Of course, this move unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the ladies in Beijing. So when Lu Shi arrived at the appointment on time, what he saw was a beautiful scene of "a hundred flowers competing for beauty". The large area of ​​peach blossoms seemed to be overshadowed by the beauties.

"Lu Huiyuan is here. Is the site we chose today okay?"

The speaker was Yao Ting, son of the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo was a warrior and a close friend of General Xiao. Consequently, the women and children in his household were all rough and uncouth. Unexpectedly, this family of swordsmen produced a talented scholar, who displayed an astonishing talent for reading from a young age.

Now all the family's reading resources are tilted towards him.

However, being born in a family with so many warriors, even after years of immersion in reading, Yao Ting's temperament could not hide the soldier-like air in him.

Next to him was Su Yunxi, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's family. He was the only son among many sisters. Therefore, he was the most pampered child in the family, treated with all the love and care he could wish for. Su Yunxi also had a remarkable talent for studying, and the two of them always took turns taking the top spot in the academy.

Both of them were spoiled to the point of being lawless. Neither of them would submit to the other and they were notorious rivals in the capital.

In this imperial examination, the two of them tried their best to win the first place, but they did not expect that the title of champion would go to the unknown Lu Shi.

Now the two of them are united in facing the outside world.

The March breeze blew across his face. Yao Ting casually opened the fan in his hand, and gently fanned it to cover his big, grinning mouth.

"Today, the flowers are in full bloom and the scenery is breathtaking. Lu Huiyuan, I hope your trip was worthwhile."

Yao Ting looked at the "bush of flowers" meaningfully, and his eyes were full of ridicule when he looked at Lu Shi.

"I heard that all the great men in the capital are looking for a son-in-law through the list. Mr. Lu, you must seize the opportunity."

Su Yunxi's tone of voice was not as sarcastic as Yao Ting's. He kept calling Lu Huiyuan, but what he said was not very pleasant. In fact, his gentle words were more hurtful.

The Monkey System puffed up its cheeks in anger. Isn't this just saying that his host is a gigolo?

Lu Shi could tolerate it, but the monkey system couldn't. He immediately broke free from Lu Shi's arms and danced with his claws at Su Yunxi.

Lu Shi raised his hand and strangled the monkey system's neck, and with the other hand he grasped its tail, holding it down tightly.

"Squeak! I..." The head system was strangled by the throat of fate and had to turn off the microphone, but its voice kept ringing in Lu Shi's mind.

"Host, you asked me to scratch his face and make him jealous of your talent!"

The person he was nagging slowly stuffed a pill into his mouth. The monkey system immediately fell silent and quietly licked the "candy beans" in its mouth with its tongue.

"You've stocked up quite a bit yourself, so go eat your candy." Lu Shi used his eyes to convey his thoughts, so that it wouldn't get excited and start talking nonsense, and be mistaken for a goblin.

The interaction between the man and the monkey was discovered by the two people who were staring at Lu Shi, and Yao Ting spoke in a mean manner.

"Oh, you brought a monkey with you to your appointment. Honestly, your pet is quite unique. In this huge capital, there are people who keep cats and dogs, but I've never heard of anyone keeping a monkey. Lu Huiyuan, are you being eccentric?"

"No vision." The monkey system rolled its eyes while chewing the pill.

"Lu Huiyuan, if a young lady takes a fancy to you, you monkey..."

"You have bad breath."

"..." Young Master Yao, who had been chattering incessantly a second ago, immediately stopped fanning himself, covered his mouth with the fan, revealing a pair of eyes full of embarrassment.

This was his secret, known only to his family. He didn't know if it was his diet or some other reason, but he suddenly developed bad breath. He consulted various doctors and tried many folk remedies, but nothing worked. So, he could only carry a fan with him every day, covering his mouth when he spoke.

"Puchi!" Su Yunxi, who was sitting on the side watching the fight, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

With this smile, Lu Shi pointed his gun at Su Yunxi.

"You must be blind."

"You bullshit..." Su Yunxi remembered his reputation as a gentleman that always surpassed Yao Ting, and stopped the swear words from his mouth in time.

He narrowed his eyes habitually, "Why do you say that, Mr. Lu?"

"Whether what I said is true or false, you and I know it very well."

Myopia of more than 700 degrees, nearly 800 degrees, is equivalent to blindness.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "You two may not know this, but I'm from Changping Village, Qingning Town."

The two of them stood there in a daze, not even noticing that Lu Shi had walked away.

Lu Shi left the two of them and walked into another encirclement. Just now, everyone had been secretly listening to the conversation between the three people who had become the center of the circle without realizing it, and naturally they didn't miss Lu Shi's introduction.

Although the reputation of Qingning Town and Changping Village is not well-known, they are also well-known. Although these young masters in the capital are ignorant of the sufferings of the world, the previous war on the border did cause panic among the people, as well as the plague.

Every plague in history has caused countless casualties, yet a miracle happened that time. Not to mention that Changping Village even had a plaque bestowed by the emperor, earning him the emperor's favor.

Their family had thought about making friends with Changping Village, but in the end nothing happened. So everyone knew that there was more to Changping Village than just a simple story, and that there was someone protecting it.

They are not Yao Ting and Su Yunxi, and they have no hostility towards Lu Shi. There is no need to offend a capable person who has the support of others.

The point is, everyone has headaches and fevers. These days, offending a doctor, especially a doctor who can cure diseases that others cannot, is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do.

A group of people quickly gathered around to talk to Lu Shi, chatting intermittently, and even the women watching on the side were eager to make a move.

The group quickly forgot about Yao Ting and Su Yunxi. Until the end of the party, the two did not find an opportunity to talk to Lu Shi alone, so they could only leave with regret.

But the two did not give up.

The next morning, Lu Shi received letters from the two people. In the letters, they chatted about family matters for a long time. After going around in circles, they vaguely stated their intentions and tactfully expressed their desire to ask Lu Shi for the money.

"Humph, I told them they'd regret it sooner or later. Look, it's only been less than five hours and they're already eagerly delivering the letter."

The monkey system pointed at their letters and rolled around in laughter. "Look how cowardly they are. They even called me. Brother Lu, Brother Lu, hehehe, hahahaha."

"What these two said was harsh, but they weren't bad-hearted. It's just the nature of youth. It's normal for them to be dissatisfied. As long as they don't have any bad intentions, it's fine."

"Send this medicine to them."

Lu Shi put the medicine in the reply package and handed it to the monkey system. "Don't complain. I will develop some new flavors of pills for you to eat as candy."

"Okay, I want the braised pork flavor."

"..."

Can candy that tastes like braised pork be delicious?
