Chapter 402 Chapter 402: Old Country (Part 1)【Two in One】
Maybe, possibly, probably…
Mr. Chu is really different from usual...
Before arriving at Yonggu Pass, Lu Jue didn't take Xu Quan's doubts at all at ease, and even felt that this young man was even louder than Xian Yujian—are all young men so broken-mouthed nowadays? But after arriving at Yongguguan...
Lu Jue looked at Chu Yao whose aura had changed suddenly, and whispered to Xu Quan when everyone was not paying attention.
"...Wen Shi, you are not alone."
Xu Quan's heart and eyes are full of the majesty and precipitousness of Yonggu Pass. How can he remember the content of the complaint two or three days ago?
Hearing this suddenly, his eyes were confused.
He asked: "What is not a person?"
Lu Juedao: "Mr. Gongcao seems to be here to collect debts."
Look at Mr. Chu Yao's tall and murderous aloof back! Even the Yonggu Pass, one of the three major dangerous passes in the Northwest Continent, couldn't suppress his aura, and even made his aura look unparalleled! Lu Jue has no doubt that if there is an enemy blocking the way ahead, Mr. Chu Yao will draw his sword! Killing a person in ten steps, never staying behind for a thousand miles!
Xu Quan was speechless: "???"
Brother Lu Shousheng reacted so slowly?
He swallowed the complaint silently.
said: "We don't lose when we lose. The meritorious Cao probably wants to be stronger and give the garrison a blow!"
Chu Yao was originally He Yin Gong Cao, and was transferred to Long Wu County with Shen Tang. He still holds this position, and the others are the same, but the prefix has changed from "He Yin" to "Long Wu".
This time on behalf of the lord, the momentum cannot be lost!
Lu Jue looked at Chu Yao's back and then at Xu Quan.
He always felt that it was not as simple as "losing is not losing", but now there is no better explanation, so he blinked and accepted Xu Quan's reason. After thinking about it, Lu Jue transformed into half a pair of armor, holding a machete in his hand, and walked eight feet, one meter at a time!
Xu Quan saw it and followed suit.
One left and one right guard, a vicious combination.
Chu Yao who felt the fluctuation of martial energy behind him: "..."
Nervous Messenger: "…"
This, this is really here to fight? ? ?
Fortunately, except for these two, the other soldiers did not move, and the messenger's tense nerves gradually relaxed, but he still did not forget to send a letter to the master book and them in his heart, please be careful!
In short, the group maintained such a weird atmosphere and were led into the Yongguguan Barracks. The sentry tower soldiers received the news and had already reported it in advance. The messenger welcomed Chu Yao and the others into the guest tent and ordered them to serve hot tea.
Chu Yao's attention is not here.
He asked the messenger: "Just now I saw the banner on the city wall. The handwriting is strong and powerful, the pines are tall and straight, and it has a strong character. I don't think it is a famous work, but it is not far from it. I don't know who mentioned it? happiness."
The messenger was very proud when he heard the words.
"The words on the flag? It was written by the military master."
Chu Yao asked again: "Master? Don't know your surname?"
The messenger said: "The master's surname is Yu."
Chu Yao let out an "oh".
There was no anticipation and joy about seeing the calligrapher on the surface, but there were more complex emotions that Lu Jue couldn't understand in his eyes. These emotions rendered Chu Yao's eyes deeper, as if they could swallow all the light.
He asked again: "The commander's surname is 'Chu'?"
The messenger nodded: "Yes."
I wonder if this question is asked knowingly.
Isn't the "Chu" on the flag obvious?
Chu Yao said "oh" lightly again.
He took a sip of the steaming tea, then closed his eyes and rested his mind, assuming he was ready to wait for a long time. And the result was just as he expected, several people were actually hung in the tent, waiting for more than an hour, and both Lu Jue and Xu Quan were furious.
The messenger had no choice but to smile, and kept ordering people to come in for more tea. One pot after another was poured down, like adding fuel to the fire.
Lu Jue could still hold back his silence.
Xu Quan is not a patient person.
He is the precious cousin of the Patriarch Xu.
Even if you don't come out to work hard, you can comfortably be a rich dude in this life, the kind who doesn't worry about eating and drinking.
He said: "Is this the way of hospitality?"
Spray again: "On behalf of the lord, I have been traveling all the way for two or three days, and you are not prepared at all? The sentry towers along the way are under intensive surveillance. I don't believe that I will find someone to receive it when it is coming! Even if the lord is not here, he can handle things The master book should be there too? So suddenly, could it be that he sincerely underestimated us?"
His right hand is on the handle of the knife at his waist, and his eyes are wide open.
Although the blade was not out of its sheath, it revealed a trace of the murderous aura of a warrior, enough to make the messenger break out in a cold sweat.
The messenger had to rack his brains to find an excuse.
"Little general, calm down. It's not that we are negligent, but that the ten black horse bandits have been rampant recently. They often take advantage of the lack of patrol troops to dig through the city wall and sneak into the pass. In order to protect the common people in the pass, the general will go out to patrol from time to time..."
"Oh? Seriously?"
The courier nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it must be a coincidence this time. The general and the others went out to inspect again. In the past, it usually took two or three hours to come back."
What he said is not a lie.
However, as a guard, his own general seldom leaves. He needs to stay at Yonggu Pass for a long time to prevent Shi Wu from gathering troops to attack suddenly. Such trivial matters as patrolling the city wall to catch the caves dug by the horse bandits are usually left to the soldiers below.
Although the courier didn't know why the guard didn't come, he guessed a little bit - probably he was deliberately leaving people alone, trying to sharpen the momentum of this group of people and give them a blow - but he didn't know how long he would keep them hanging, so he could only use the time Let's talk about it for a long time.
Xu Quan hummed heavily.
Obviously did not believe the messenger's nonsense.
But people can't find fault with this excuse, so they can only endure it, and they have already scolded in their hearts.
The only person present who was not in a hurry—
It is Chu Yao.
Not only was he not in a hurry, but he also made people continue to refill the tea.
The messenger observed his behavior in secret, secretly thinking that this person is very focused, just looking at it, inexplicably felt that Chu Yao's tea cooking skills were very familiar, and even some small movements were familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...
Chu Yao noticed the envoy's thoughtful gaze.
smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
The messenger said: "Mr. is good at cooking tea."
Actually, he couldn't see the way. I just think that Chu Yao's flowing movements are very ornamental, and watching it gives people a sense of "the tea made by this guy is definitely expensive". It's fine to keep your eyes open, because people like to listen to good things anyway.
Xu Quan's attention was also attracted.
Only Lu absolutely has no interest in this.
Isn't it just throwing some green leaves into the hot water?
Is there anything to say?
Compared to this strange way of drinking, he prefers the tea his wife made for him in her boudoir, which can also be called tea porridge. Any colorful material can be thrown in.
The taste is strong, and you will be full after two pots.
It's not like Mr. Chu likes to drink leaf tea.
"Tea porridge" is the authentic "tea"!
Xu Quan said: "This kind of tea art is rare."
The most popular at the moment is still the "tea porridge" in Lu Jue's mouth, such as onion, ginger, garlic, orange peel, dogwood... and other auxiliary ingredients, the richer the family, the more ingredients are added to it. Roasting tea leaves to make tea is generally popular among small countries or common people, probably because of the relatively simple acquisition of materials.
Xu Quan drank more "tea porridge"...
Emmm…
Actually, I don’t like both kinds of tea.
He still likes to drink.
Tea, that's what his cousin, an old fox who is always calculating, likes. A brave warrior and spirits are a perfect match! But I have to say, watching Mr. making tea is a kind of enjoyment, as if even anxiety can be soothed.
"I learned it when I was young, but I haven't practiced it for many years, and I'm a lot rusty." Chu Yao was obviously smiling, but when he said the word "young time", his eyes seemed to be two or three points colder.
The messenger suddenly remembered.
smiled and said: "No, no, how can you be considered unfamiliar? In my opinion, the master is not far from the master book!"
Chu Yao's lips were slightly smiling.
Xu Quan noticed what the messenger said, and he didn't expect that the master book that he had never met had so many interests with his own Mr. Cao. If the other party didn't deliberately not show up and leave them alone, Xu Quan's favorability for the master book would be higher .
"Really?"
The messenger laughed and said, "Naturally it is true."
In order to take care of the master’s hobby, several cold-resistant tea trees were specially planted near the barracks. Although the brewed tea is a bit bitter, the master just likes this sip, which is precious to the tea tree. How far is it baby?
At first, the few tea trees were not suitable for the environment of Yongguguan, so the boss was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling. It happened that a group of horse bandits ran into the muzzle, were caught and slaughtered, and made human fertilizer to nourish the soil near the tea trees. The tree came alive!
Since then—
Some veterans like to use this story to scare rookies, such as "If you don't train hard, you will be arrested and used as fat for the master tea tree", and it is compiled vividly. A group of uninformed rookies thought that the master was relying on human fat tea trees to keep his face.
Xu Quan said: "He is also an elegant person."
An elegant man raised by the iron-blooded pass?
The chief accountant that Xu Quan was looking forward to was playing chess with their chief general at this moment. The chess skills of the two are comparable, the master is good at layout and planning, and the master is good at using offense as defense. However, the latter's chess skills were taught by the former, and after all, it was a strange move. The master had no choice but to admit defeat, and said with a helpless smile: "I can't play anymore, I can't play anymore, the sand table battlefield is more enjoyable..."
Black and white two sons game, his eyes hurt.
The so-called "sand table battlefield" is a kind of "gaming game" that can only be played with a literary mind and a brave heart - gather the strength of both sides of the game to build a relatively stable "differing space" created by literary/martial spirit, where both sides lead an army , each guarding a city.
The game between soldiers and horses is transformed into a grand and exciting scene.
It's just that a piece of paper and a weapon cannot coexist.
→_→
It is equivalent to two servers, and the data is not interoperable.
Simply put, the channels are different.
If he wants to play "Sand Table Battlefield", he always finds his subordinates to play, and the master can only find other Wenxin scholars to play if he wants to play.
The master book glanced at the sun.
said: "The group of people can hang for two hours?"
The chief general said: "Almost."
Master: "It's time to check it out."
The lord general didn't want to see the new sheriff of Longwu County, so he sent the lord to go on his behalf, so he was being lazy.
The master book had to go alone.
On the way past, he secretly guessed the psychology of Chu Yao and his party at the moment—being left on the air for two hours, the anger must not be underestimated. Dao... Just as he was thinking, he saw the messenger who ran out of the tent to breathe.
"Why don't you stay with me inside?"
The messenger said with a bitter face, "I'm afraid I'll be chopped off."
The master smiled and said: "Is this person so fierce?"
The messenger thought for a while, and said: "If you say fierce, it means that the two young warriors can't hold back their anger. They can't wait to show their family background to suppress others. This kind of kind is just fierce on the outside. But the meritorious person is not simple. Sitting next to him , always feel uncomfortable."
"How uncomfortable?"
Messenger honestly: "It seems that the master book you, staring at you for a moment, and being arrested for fattening in the next breath."
The director was amused by his confidant's words.
"Then, I would like to meet this person."
The courier followed behind the master book like a dog.
The result—the aura of his family master stopped abruptly the moment the heavy curtain was lifted! Very abrupt!
As if someone tapped the acupuncture points, the muscles all over his body were stiff and fixed, and he couldn't move an inch while maintaining a movement!
The messenger wondered, what's wrong?
Got numb all over from being struck by sunny weather, drought and lightning?
At this time, the Gongcao surnamed Chu sneered from inside the tent, and successfully stopped the master who was trying to shrink his right foot: "What's the matter? You dare not come in? Yu Shizhong might as well try it!"
The messenger is confused: "???"
Xu Quan in the tent was confused: "???"
Lu Jue in the tent wondered: "???"
The messenger couldn't see the expression of the master in front of him, but Lu Jue and Xu Quan in the camp could see it clearly. The master's face turned pale in an instant, and when his eyes fell on Chu Yao in the tent, his pupils trembled , the brow twitched.
Just when they couldn't figure out what happened, Mr. Chu Yao, who was cooking tea elegantly just now, drew his sword out of its sheath.
When the messenger heard the movement, he didn't care what happened, and hurried forward to protect his master's book.
Lu Jue and Lu Jue also made moves.
Three people confront two people.
The atmosphere inside and outside the tent is subtle and chilling.
The director and Chu Yao looked past the guards in front of them and met in the void. It seemed silent but there was a thunderous explosion. This was clearly a sign that the two were competing with each other's literary hearts. Really going to fight? But, no results.
The master secretary pushed aside the messenger and stepped forward, his eyes fell on Chu Yao's waist: "When did your Wen Xin come back?"
As we all know, there is only one way for Wenxin literati who have been punished by breaking the government to regain their Wenxin, and then think that Chu Yao came here as an envoy of the new county guard, and this new county guard is the lord of the country Zheng Qiao. running dog.
so-
Chu Yao is loyal to Zheng Qiao now?
The face of the master book is particularly exciting.
Chu Yao said: "Is this important?"
The chief book recalled that just now he completely suppressed his Wen Xin momentum in terms of momentum, and there were countless miscellaneous things brewing in his mind, but none of them were suitable to say, so he let out a foul breath.
"The old man never thought... the person who will come is you!"
If you know—
He took a patrol mission today and went to the city cave to sleep overnight.
Facing Chu Yao's job, leave it to the general.
If the upbringing allows it, the master bookkeeper is already scolding the mother right now. Seeing the reaction of the two, Lu Jue just kept his curiosity in his heart and Xu Quan asked directly: "Mr. Gongcao, are you...an old acquaintance with this master? They know each other?"
Registrar: "...hehe."
It's more than acquaintance.
This TN is a bad debt, and Chu Yao is the creditor.
Xu Curious Baby Quan asked again: "Mr. Gongcao why did you call this Master Yu... Yu Shizhong?"
Although in different countries, the actual power and status of the position of servant varies, but they are all dignified royal official positions, which are eligible for court consultation. Could it be that the master in front of him was Xin Guo's former servant?
He has no impression.
It seems that none of the servants in King Xin's family was surnamed "Yu".
"He used to be Chu Guo's servant." Chu Yao didn't show off, and directly exposed Master Yu's former identity.
"Chu country?" Xu Quan didn't know Chu Yao's identity, but he also vaguely guessed that the second grade Shangzhongxin was not a street Chinese cabbage, and the owners were generally not Taicai.
Chu Gongcao’s name collided with an influential figure many years ago, which made Xu Quan suspect for a while, but there was no evidence. He tentatively asked: "Chu country seems to be Mr.'s hometown?"
"Yes." Chu Yao admitted.
Xu Quan: "..."
Intuition told him that there was a story here.
To be precise, it was Chu Yao, the guard surnamed Chu, and Master Yu, the three of them, who had bad debts more than ten years ago.
Master Yu: "...you go and invite the general."
The messenger looked at the three of Chu Yao worriedly.
"Yes, but..."
Master Yu said slightly angrily: "Who can hurt this old man in the barracks? Just invite the general here quickly."
The messenger had no choice but to restrain his worries and take orders.
This turned into three-on-one.
Master Yu suddenly felt pressure doubled.
He picked a mat that was not too far away and sat down.
said: "Unexpectedly, Wu Hui is still alive..."
Except for this hair, her appearance is the same as back then.
Chu Yao said: "So is Yu Shizhong."
Master Yu felt bad when he heard this title, and said: "Where is there any servant Yu now? It's just a small master who just spent the rest of his life in this place."
After speaking, there was another round of silence.
Until the metal sound of armor joints rubbing against each other came from outside the house, a momentum came towards the tent, followed by the heavy curtain of the tent being lifted vigorously.
"Who is making trouble here!"
This human voice is like thunder, shaking the sky.
Chu Yao raised his eyes.
General Chu looked down.
Then-
Quiet.
Deathly quiet.
General Chu: "..."
urgent!
What should I do if Faxiao, who has been dead for many years, suddenly cheats on his corpse!
(へ╬)
I haven't been very good recently. I have been lethargic and sleepy. I feel like I can't get enough sleep.
Shiitake these days can only try to write each chapter as long as possible.
Wait a few days and add more when the status is better.
PS: Mr. Chu Yao came here with a sword this time to find a fight ()
