Chapter 2732 Turn around and return to the branch hall
"oh……"
Zhu Feng said thoughtfully: "We don't want the old ones, we only want the young and strong ones?"
"That's right. Alas, we old losers are not welcome anywhere we go, hehe."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then he looked up at the two old farmers and smiled, "Don't say that, old man. An old horse knows the way, and an old horse is always in the stable. There are some things that young and strong people may not be able to do. The older you are, the more knowledge you have."
The old farmer was so happy with these words that he smiled happily.
He said repeatedly: "The master is not only a decent man, but also a clear-sighted person."
After saying that, he nodded to Zhu Feng, picked up his load and left.
Zhu Feng turned around and saw Nan Yan standing behind him, looking at him with a half-smile. He smiled back and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that the emperor would chat with others like this."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "What's wrong with chatting?"
Nan Yan said, "Who could have imagined that the Emperor could actually chat with two old men and praise them to the point of making them smile so happily?"
Zhu Feng sighed softly, "In a few years, I will probably look like this too."
Nan Yan immediately frowned and said, "The Emperor is talking nonsense again!"
Zhu Feng smiled.
Nan Yan walked up to him and whispered, "What did the emperor ask them just now?"
When this was mentioned, Zhu Feng's face darkened slightly. He turned his head to look at those people who were still surrounding the fields and chanting prayers. The few wrinkles between his eyebrows appeared faintly again.
Seeing that he remained silent for a while, Nan Yan whispered again, "Your Majesty...?"
Zhu Feng turned around and glanced over there, then said, "Let's go first, we'll talk about it when we get back."
"oh."
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan didn't ask any more questions and turned around and walked back with him. Li Quan, who was following them from a distance, saw this and immediately came forward and helped them get on the carriage parked on the side of the road.
On another road, a carriage was heading towards this side.
The car body swayed slightly, causing the curtains to flutter and float. A pair of eyes inside the car immediately saw the figures of Zhu Feng and Nan Yan opposite.
A deep voice immediately came from the carriage.
"parking!"
The coachman in front pulled the reins and the carriage stopped. He turned around and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"
The people in the carriage were silent for a while, then said, "Give orders to have someone follow that carriage."
"yes."
"Turn around and go back to the branch hall."
"Go back? What's going on?"
"Don't ask too many questions. Just go back if you are told to."
"Oh, yes."
The coachman immediately turned his horse around and drove the carriage back the way they came.

Zhu Feng and his companions' carriage also rushed back to the city.
At this time, it was just past lunch time, and there were many vendors on both sides of the road they were walking on selling snacks, with all kinds of sweet, salty, spicy, and sour food. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of food. In the quiet carriage, Zhu Feng was still concentrating on thinking about what had just happened, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Gurgle..."
He was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he saw Nan Yan, who was sitting next to him, with an extremely ashamed and angry expression on her face.
I couldn't help laughing.
"Hungry?"
Nan Yan said: "No."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "No? Then what did I just hear?"
“…”
"Ha ha ha ha."
"The Emperor is still laughing!"
Nan Yan was anxious and embarrassed. She said, "It was the Emperor who called me out. It's already past noon and I haven't eaten yet. How can I not be hungry?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Okay, it's my fault."
As he spoke, he turned his head to lift a corner of the curtain and saw their carriage passing by a restaurant. It looked clean, so he ordered, "Stop at that restaurant."
Li Quan immediately stopped the carriage and said, "Master, would you like to have dinner?"
"Um."
"yes."
Li Quan immediately drove the carriage to the door and stopped. The two men got off the car and stood still, looking at the restaurant. It looked like it was newly opened and the decoration was quite exquisite. Perhaps for this reason, ordinary people could not afford to eat there, so there were not many customers in the restaurant, and the few who were there were all dressed very decently.
The waiter standing at the door to greet customers saw that the two of them had extraordinary demeanor and immediately came forward to greet them.
"Master and Madam, please."
Zhu Feng looked back at Nan Yan, smiled and took her inside.
Just like before, even though the two of them had concealed their identities, they couldn't take the risk of dining in public, so they went upstairs and into a private room. They asked Li Quan to serve them outside, and Nan Yan sat down comfortably.
He smiled and said, "I wonder if there's anything delicious here."
Zhu Feng looked at her with a smile and said, "When people are hungry, doesn't everything taste good?"
"snort!"
Nan Yan wrinkled her nose at him.
They ordered some of the restaurant's specialties, and soon, plate after plate of delicacies were served. They were indeed delicious and tasty. Although they might not be as exquisite as the meals in the palace, they were fresh. Nan Yan was already hungry, so she started to feast on them immediately.
Zhu Feng ordered a pot of wine and ate slowly while tasting it.
Nan Yan finished half a bowl of rice and calmed down a little. She turned around and looked at Zhu Feng. He was drinking while staring intently at the wine glass in his hand. The amber light in the glass was flickering slightly, and it was reflected in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty just saw those people. Is there something wrong?"
Zhu Feng turned his head and glanced at her.
He uttered a deep "hmm".
Nan Yan asked, "What's the problem? Didn't the Emperor already send the Imperial Guards to investigate? Still no news?"
"According to the news reported back, the members of this Earthly Immortal Society usually just worship the Earthly Immortals, just like what we saw today. In addition, they also interact with some of the brotherhoods."
"That's what it sounds like. There doesn't seem to be any problem. Ordinary incense clubs are like this."
"Um."
“It’s just that I don’t know where their land comes from.”
"It will take some time for the Jinyiwei to investigate this matter. Although some of them have joined the Earthly Immortal Society, the hierarchy is very strict and we can't ask questions beyond our level. So, it will take some time to gain their trust."
"Then what happened just now, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng said, "Did you hear what the old man said just now?"
"I heard that the old man wanted to join the Earthly Immortal Society, but the other party refused to accept him."
"Yes, the old man wanted to join, but the other party refused to have him."
“…”
"But the old man's strong and healthy nephew wants to join, and the other party wants him."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't take this seriously at first, but when she heard Zhu Feng mention it again, she suddenly seemed to sense something and whispered, "This Earthly Immortal Association only wants young and middle-aged men?"
