Chapter 629: You play me?
As time passed, the inn was almost empty of guests.
The people who live in this ordinary inn are all business travelers. Now the city is under martial law. If you want to leave the city, you have to go to the city gate tower and wait. Otherwise, once the long queue out of the city is formed, you may have to be delayed in the city for a day.
On the dozen or so wooden tables placed in the lobby of the inn, there were only seven or eight scholar-looking travelers sitting sparsely, drinking the poorest rice wine and eating the simplest breakfast.
Zhenxi Fucheng is an important border town, and the people who stay in this ordinary inn are probably not only profit-seeking business travelers, but also scholars who are traveling for a while.
Standing by the railing on the second floor, Xu Yuan looked down at the lobby below. He actually didn't understand this type of people.
Dayan is a very chaotic place, with road bandits and demons running rampant. These helpless scholars are still traveling all over the world to study, selling calligraphy and paintings along the way, and ghostwriting for people in exchange for money, so they can travel around the mountains and rivers of Dayan. .
There are them in Di'an City, they are in the northern border, and they are also here in the Western Desert.
Perhaps this is the romance unique to literati in this era.
Just as he was thinking about it, one of the middle-aged scholars in Shu Lun seemed to notice someone on the second floor and looked towards him.
Looking at each other for a moment, the middle-aged scholar smiled heartily and raised his cup as an invitation.
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the coarse linen clothes on his body, smiled and shook his head at it.
If time permits, he wouldn't mind chatting with these people for a while and hearing about their lives, but there are other matters that need to be dealt with today.
An old hissing sound came from the wooden door behind him, and along with the creaking footsteps on the wooden board, Li Junwu's deliberately lowered voice came quietly:
“Changtian, what are you looking at?”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan glanced back at her and saw a handsome young man standing at the door of the room.
Li Junwu has a majestic look when he is dressed in red, but the feminine charm in men's clothes still makes him look feminine.
While watching, Li Junwu had already come to stand beside him.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan pointed downward:
“Look at those scholars.”
Li Junwu glanced at the group of people below, his eyes were not surprised:
“They are just a bunch of literati who don’t know what they are called. What do they have to see?”
The literati in Dayan looked down upon each other, and the warriors looked upon the literati even more lightly.
Xu Yuan glanced at her and said slightly unexpectedly:
“You seem unhappy with them?”
Li Junwu didn’t take it seriously at all and said:
“Some of these literati are well-known and are running around with nothing to do all day long. If something goes wrong, they have to ask the government to wipe their butts.”
Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered:
“People are just practicing the words of the sub-sage seven hundred years ago, traveling thousands of miles, helping all kinds of people, and teaching the world the way.”
"In the final analysis, being a literary person is not just for fame, but for the sake of having an advantage in admissions during the scientific examination?"
“It’s all about the deeds but not the heart.”
Xu Yuan said with a smile, then took out a human skin mask from the Sumeru Ring and handed it over: "Take this with you first, and then we go to the government office."
Li Junwu casually took the human skin mask and was slightly surprised:
"Can this mask block the soul from being detected?"
“No one except the sage can investigate what was done by the Gewuyuan.”
“Is it the same as the one on your face?”
“I’m sorry, even a saint like me can’t figure it out.”
ˆ “.”
Li Junwu put the mask on his face and spat in a clear voice:
“Look at your bluster.”
With a chuckle, Xu Yuan glanced back at the room ambiguously and whispered:
“Have you taken care of the goddess’s affairs?”
Li Junwu rolled his beautiful eyes and whispered:
"Even if Jia Yi is asking for it, I have to be measured in what I do. After all, she is still useful. But it's different for you. After all, this is the interest between you, isn't it?"
Li Junwu pursed his red lips for a moment and hummed:
“I really don’t know where I learned the rope binding method. Jia Yi will probably be tortured a lot when we come back.”
“Life must be interesting.”
Xu Yuan gently poked the **** brother's waist with his elbow, looked at her with bent eyes and smiled: "I teach you so selflessly, you can use it in the future, why don't you thank me?"
Li Junwu curled his lips and hummed:
“There are so many tricks, whoever plays a beautician will really suffer the old sin.”
“I am not a fish, I know how happy the fish is~”
“Anyway, I prefer to be gentle.”
"Ah? I am teaching you to use it, not for you to use it."
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, something strange flashed across Li Junwu’s beautiful black eyes. He looked away and looked towards the lobby:
“Okay, stop talking nonsense! Get ready to go.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan had a strange look on his face and tilted his head to look at her dimple.
The weird feeling from before came to his mind again. Looking at the expression on his **** brother, he suddenly felt as if he had caught something that was fleeting.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at, Li Junwu looked back and said angrily:
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen it?”
Xu Yuan grinned and asked tentatively:
“Li Junwu, are you serious about what you said last night?”
Li Junwu knew the other party's cultivation level, suppressed his heartbeat, and his thoughts were running rapidly in his mind, and asked with a smile:
“Well, what did you say?”
After looking at it for a moment, Xu Yuan decided to put the matter aside for the time being after not seeing any clues:
“Nothing, maybe I misunderstood, let’s go.”
ˆ “.”
Li Junwu clenched his fists instantly.
It’s hard to mentally build yourself up, but this guy just lets it go?
While keeping up with the opponent, Li Junwu said nonchalantly:
“What, you want to ask me about becoming my son-in-law? This girl is serious about what she said~”
ˆ “.”
When the words fell, Xu Yuan seemed not to hear them and continued to move forward in silence.
The two of them walked into the lobby and were immediately greeted by the waiter at the inn. Li Junwu waved him off and told them to get out. When they walked out of the inn, various shops and vendors were already open on the streets outside, and shouts were heard one after another.
The whole journey was silent, with Xu Yuan walking in front and Li Junwu following behind with some uneasiness.
After walking a whole block, the former suddenly stopped and looked back at the latter.
Li Junwu subconsciously straightened his back, and his chest tightened a little, but his expression remained calm and calm as usual, waiting for the other party's reply.
next moment,
"No, Zhenxi Mansion is your family's territory. You want me, a guest, to lead the way?"
ˆ “.”
Li Junwu almost couldn't help but punch this guy in the face.
Where is the response she is waiting for?
Suppressing the anger and grievance in his heart, Li Jun, who was disguised as a man, passed Xu Yuan without any care.
Having a slight direction, she was about to lead the way when she heard Xu Yuan's gentle voice:
“Li Junwu, you won’t always be playing me, right?”
