The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 620
Perhaps the time was loose enough, the meeting between the behind-the-scenes controller of Duxiu Juzhong Hongchen Inn and the bright face of the owner, not only did not have a sense of seriousness and urgency, but was very relaxed and leisurely.

Even though it was only the third time they met, Leng Shan and Lonely Soul were like best friends reunited after a long absence.

First, let’s start with the characteristic scenery of various places in Zhongzhou, talk about the customs and delicacies of various places, and then talk about various anecdotes.

During the interspersed talk about their own interests and hobbies, and even the current situation of themselves and the people around them.

Finally, I talked about the turmoil in recent days, from the temple to the grass.

In short, they rambled about for nearly an hour, talking about almost everything.

During this period of time, Qingchen, the leading oiran, did not blindly act as a "coolie" playing piano sonatas, and served at the side twice to add incense and accompany tea.

The third aunt, the bustard, personally brought an ice tray of fresh seasonal fruits and delicious refreshments, and chatted and laughed with them for a long time before returning the money.

If he knew in advance that the Fengyanlou, which sounds like he can eat people, was just like this, I wonder if Luo Luo would have the courage to follow Master to meet the husband, and it would not be a bad idea to even bring Sister Su Shou along.

This thought flashed inexplicably in his mind, Gu Xinhun showed a slight smile on his brows, and took a sip of Qingchen's freshly brewed tea in an excellent mood.

Seeing this, Leng Shan smiled and said: "It's better to be alone than to be happy with others. Is there any happy event on your mind that you might share with me and Miss Qingchen?"

Although Fir Shan's words didn't mean to let Qingchen evade, but Qingchen seemed unwilling to embarrass the guests, after serving tea for the two guests, she got up gracefully, bowed her hands, retreated to the window, played the harp for fun, The two made room for a private conversation.

Gu Xinhun then talked about Luo Luo's begging this morning and what he had just thought, and Leng Shan found it very interesting when he heard it, so he clapped his hands and smiled.

In a small matter, Leng Shan seemed to have captured other information, and asked with great interest: "If I remember correctly, the girl with plain hands should also be very good at playing the piano."

Gu Xinhun nodded and said: "Su Shou was sold into Fengyan Tower when she was young, and she was trained by a Qing Dynasty official. Her name actually comes from her skill in playing the piano."

Leng Shan thought for a moment, then said: "It is said that many women from Fengyanlou will abandon the names they used at that time and change to new ones after redemption, to show that they have let go of the past and started a new life."

Gu Xinhun said: "That's true, but Su Shou thinks that everyone's experience is different, so it can't be generalized. During the ten years in Fengyan Tower, she didn't encounter any unbearable things to look back on. She has experienced the bond of friendship that is far better than the ties of flesh and blood, so she is very willing to use the current name to let herself remember that period of the past."

Leng Shan agreed: "It makes sense, but how is it compared to Miss Qingchen?"

Gu Xinhun glanced at the independent woman who was immersed in her own konghou music, and said: "Naturally, it is difficult for Miss Qingchen to be proficient in various musical instruments, but if it is only about playing the pipa, she may be able to compete with her."

Leng Shan smiled, and said again: "I'm talking about people."

Gu Xinhun was stunned when he heard the words, and then realized why Leng Shan was so interested, coughed lightly and said: "They are all good girls who know the book and respect the ceremony."

Leng Shan said: "In other words, are they all good matches?"

Gu Xinhun didn't know how to answer, but he couldn't deny it either.

Leng Shan went on to say: "It is widely rumored that Qingchen is a peerless man who can overwhelm the country and the city, but he is not close to the fireworks in the world. It seems that there is a world away from us and other ordinary people. I don't think Sushou should not have this 'frame'?"

Gu Xinhun nodded and shook his head again, and said: "Su Shou is indeed more approachable, but the reason why Miss Qingchen is like this is mostly a helpless disguise."

Leng Shan said: "It's a pity that Qingchen deliberately sat far away, otherwise, she should be very relieved to hear your words."

Seeing that Gu Xinhun hesitated to speak, Leng Shan waved his hand and said: "No one, I just feel that you are about the same age as me, and it should be time for you to finish some major life events. You and Su Shou have known each other for three years, so it can be said that you know each other well. , why not go further and tie the knot?"

Gu Xinhun thought for a long time this time before he said seriously: "A good match is rare, and a spouse is hard to find. You can know it but you don't know how to cherish it. But my situation is different from that of my husband. It is natural for him to marry a wife and have children, but more or less I seldom have the intention of stabilizing the people around me. I was born more casual and uninhibited. I didn’t even think about marriage when I was young. Now even if I have the idea of ​​starting a family, the general environment doesn’t allow it. If I can, I still hope that I can My family lives in peace and tranquility, without having to endure the storms and flames of war, even if it is shrouded in such an atmosphere. To paraphrase an old saying: Zhongzhou is not yet settled, so what should we do at home?"

"Zhongzhou is undecided, why should we do it at home?" Leng Shan chewed this sentence while drinking tea, thinking that Gu Xinhun was originally a free and unrestrained person, and getting involved in this struggle was a natural disaster, so he felt sorry for him.

It took a long time before Fir Shan came back to his senses, and picked up a sliced ​​fruit with red peel from the ice tray.

According to San Yiniang, this fruit originated from Luoyue, and it is called dragon fruit, also known as auspicious fruit.

Half-red and half-green fleshy scales, shaped like dragon scales, stretch upwards evenly on the red peel, like a burning flame.

Its pulp is white and resembles a white cake, but it is inlaid with countless sesame-like seeds. It is sweet but not greasy in the mouth, and has the effect of clearing the intestines and strengthening the stomach.

Compared with Fir Shan, who only travels between the bustling places of Youjing, Suzhou and Suzhou most of the time, this is the first time for Lonely Heart Soul to try something new.

I only heard Fir Shan say: "Although dragon fruit is good, once the sesame seeds inside become diseased and have toxins that can cause injury, disability or even death, the auspicious fruit will no longer be auspicious."

Gu Xinhun heard what Fir Shan meant, and said, "It's exactly like this in Zhongzhou."

Leng Shan picked up a knife from the table, gently picked out a piece of dragon fruit flesh that seemed to be a sesame fruit with a different color, and looked around for a long time on the other flesh. An innocent sesame fruit.

Gu Xinshun understood and finally talked about the most important thing. Seeing Leng Shan as an example, he worked so hard, he couldn't help but find it funny.

Leng Shan raised her eyebrows, rolled her eyes and was not "interested", and threw the incomplete piece of dragon fruit into her mouth in a dull manner, and put down the other dragon fruits and knives, brewing emotions.

Gu Xinhun was sitting upright, not because he was afraid of Leng Shan's official authority, but because what Leng Shan said next was related to the future deployment of Hongchen Inn, he had to take it seriously.

If you want to talk about the difference between 20 years ago and today, Lonely Soul will say that this moment is just like that moment.

For example, the catastrophe of Zhongzhou 20 years ago was only the first half of the foreign invasion drama, and now it is the second half of the drama.

20 years ago, it was not their turn to stand on stage, and now they basically don't know what role other people play in it before they go on stage.

However, compared to 20 years ago, when Zhongzhou was surrounded by wars and smoldering flames overnight, the current war has been gestating for a long time amidst the clouds and fog.

Many people have seen the clues of the Great War from various historical remnants, but in today's world, who can see it more thoroughly than the old man and Luo Piaoling, I believe that only the people in front of me are the only ones.

Compared with other forces that have such disadvantages and constraints, the thriving Hongchen Inn only lacks a direction. Although Fir Shan cannot sit at the helm in person, as long as he helps them dispel the fog and see the situation clearly, the Hongchen Inn with a strong army can sail by itself voyage.

Seeing Gu Xinhun put on this posture, Leng Shan couldn't hold back any more, and went straight to the point.

"Twenty years ago, the government of Zhongzhou fell into a quagmire, and foreigners waited for an opportunity to attack. It was actually the fault of the Zhu family's court for a long time, and the stubborn disease was hard to cure. It was not the fault of Emperor Jing alone."

"At least when disaster strikes, the old emperor can still keep a clear head, accept the advice of loyal ministers, disbelieve the slander of the villain, lower the court's posture, and work together with all the forces in the rivers and lakes to drive out the foreign captives. It’s a great achievement.”

"After the war, the recuperation policy implemented was also very effective, and the combination of the two may offset some of his stupid actions."

"The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, it has been 16 years since the barbarians stopped. In terms of the current military size of Zhongzhou, unless the five countries of Oala, Dongying, Duzhu, Gouli, and Luoyue do not hesitate At all costs, we are willing to use the power of the whole country to fight with us, otherwise Zhongzhou is far from the point where the building will collapse."

"However, as the old saying goes, people will never learn from history, and will only keep repeating the same mistakes. Before the strong city wall is breached, there must be corrosion and collapse inside."

"What we need to do now is to identify the enemy and ourselves as soon as possible, and remove the rot and poison."

"This point coincides with the policy of the Daoyi League and Tingyu Pavilion to fight against the outside world before making peace inside."

Gu Xinhun listened quietly, even if Leng Shan said bluntly that he had met with Luo Piaoling to reach a consensus, he would not blink.

　After finishing the second construction exam at the end of May, I immediately applied for the first construction exam.

　　The good news is that the second construction is over, and I am unemployed and have a subsistence allowance, ○(＾皮＾)っHiahiahia....

　　The bad news is that the enthusiasm for learning was exhausted by the second construction, and I didn't read the first construction.

　　Therefore, even if it is to fulfill the promise I made to myself, I worked harder last month.

　　However, the exam is next week, and I still have to sharpen my gun before the battle, just in case...

　　There may be no update next week, or there may be only a small update.
