casket of old days

Chapter 64 Storytelling

Chu Qiguang has become acquainted with Hao Yongtai's servants these days, and the servants also feel very close to this Mr. Chu who gave them money as soon as they met.

Chu Qiguang asked the other party to sit down, and then asked about the recent situation of the Hao family.

The young man shook his head and said, "Second master has a bad temper recently, and he loses his temper every now and then. I think it has something to do with the matter of retiring the field."

Chu Qiguang nodded. He knew that the eldest master of the Hao family was an editor of the Hanlin Academy in Shenjing, and the second master had been running the family business in Qingyang County.

After chatting with the boy for a while, looking at the back of the other party leaving, Chu Qiguang thought to himself: "The battle between the nobles in Qingyang County and the magistrate seems to be getting more and more fierce. The magistrate wants to measure the acres of land and let the wealthy people retreat field.A big family like the Hao family will naturally not do it, and I am afraid that there will be another battle between dragons and tigers. '

'However, according to Qiao Zhi, in about a month or two, the current chief minister of the cabinet will return to his hometown Ding You, and the elder of the Wu family will become the new chief minister of the cabinet. '

Chu Qiguang thought for a while and continued to study. As the night got deeper and deeper, Chu Qiguang suddenly heard a creaking sound in the depths of the library.

'Ok?Could it be a mouse?Or wild cat? '

Chu Qiguang frowned and didn't take it seriously. When he was about to continue his study, he suddenly felt the sound of the wind behind his head. He quickly dodged forward to avoid the attack from behind.

Turning his head to look, he saw a girl with a snow-white face staring at him, and said bitterly: "Where did you come from, a thief! How dare you come to Hao's library to steal things!"

Chu Qiguang saw that the other party had an extraordinary temperament and was still wearing good practice clothes, so he knew it must be a misunderstanding, and immediately said: "Miss, you have misunderstood, it was Mr. Hao Yongtai who brought me to the library to borrow."

The other party originally wanted to continue to attack, but he looked at Chu Qiguang hesitantly when he heard the words, until Chu Qiguang called the boy outside the library to testify.

After hearing the boy's testimony, the girl looked at Chu Qiguang with embarrassment, and a blush flashed on her snow-white cheeks: "No... sorry, I didn't know you were brought by the elder brother. People came."

Chu Qiguang looked at the other party's fair skin, somewhat slender frame and undulating figure, and immediately recalled the information about the Hao family that he had inquired with the boy in his mind.

'This should be the younger sister of Hao Yongtai and Hao Yongnian, named Hao Xiangtong. I heard that she liked to dance with knives and guns since she was a child, and ran around. By the way...I saw her at Hao Yongnian's funeral. '

Hearing Hao Xiangtong's apology, Chu Qiguang also politely said that he didn't care, and the two introduced each other again, so they didn't know each other.

Then Hao Xiangtong asked the young servant to leave first, and told the other party not to tell others that she was here, and then looked at Chu Qiguang curiously: "You are the one who found the fox demon who killed Hao Yongnian?"

Seeing Chu Qiguang's admission, Hao Xiangtong kept inquiring about her investigation process with a look of great interest.

Seeing her appearance, Chu Qiguang thought in his heart: "I heard from the boy that Hao Xiangtong and Hao Yongnian were not born to the same mother. Looking at her appearance, the relationship between brothers and sisters is not very good." '

After Chu Qiguang finished talking about the investigation process, Hao Xiangtong said in a still unsatisfied way: "It's really interesting, have you investigated other cases?"

Looking at the big sparkling eyes in front of him, Chu Qiguang was recalling the information that Qiao Zhi told him in his mind.

"These generations of the Hao family, including Hao Yongnian and Hao Yongtai, are not very powerful figures, but this Hao Xiangtong is somewhat remarkable..."

In this world, because cultivating Taoism is a relationship in the later period, martial arts is the mainstream choice for the rich and powerful, and Taoism is at most a part-time practice.

Because men are inherently superior to women in physical strength, they also have an advantage in martial arts cultivation, and their social status is generally higher than that of women.

"However, women are inherently more delicate and tenacious, and have higher potential in cultivating Taoism than men, and this Hao Xiangtong is a rare talent in cultivating Taoism, but it's a pity..."

According to Qiao Zhi's narration, this Hao Xiangtong is first-class in terms of family background and appearance. He has already been engaged to the son of Wu Ge's hometown.

But just a few years after getting married, she was kidnapped by the northern wolf tribe and taken to the northwest grassland, and was accepted as a concubine by Emperor Daqian, and in the fierce resistance, she was abolished of her hard-working martial arts.

Living in a foreign race, surrounded by enemies without a single friend or relative, she still faces the threat of death and the humiliation of her enemies all the time... But even under such circumstances, she still did not give up fighting, but instead practiced hard in the dark. Taoism "Ming Li".

According to Qiao Zhi, the "Ming Li" and "Immortal Medicine" of the Immortal Dao belong to one of the 25 righteous methods.And Immortal Dao is the first human sect to spread Taoism to the northern monster race.

Let him, Hao Xiangtong, endure tremendous pressure and humiliation with his incredible tenacity and determination, and finally enter the Tao after 20 years of hard work.

After entering Taoism, the first thing Hao Xiangtong did was to assassinate Emperor Daqian, rioted in the palace, killed 8 emperors, empresses, and concubines, and killed 121 eunuchs and guards. They were besieged and died, which can be called a generation of strange women.

But Chu Qiguang looked at the white and tender Hao Xiangtong in front of him, who was still a wealthy young lady who was a little ignorant of the world.

While Chu Qiguang was in a daze, Hao Xiangtong asked again: "Is there no other case? Tell me about it."

'This woman... really affected my studies. "Chu Qiguang frowned, and thought to himself: "But she has great potential, at least the value of 100 Chen Gang, so it's worth my time to invest. '

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang smiled and said: "Miss Hao knows a lot about the investigation of the Yamen?"

Hao Xiangtong nodded and said, "I don't really understand, but I like to listen."

'Fortunately, I don't really understand. ’ Chu Qiguang asked tentatively again: “Why don’t I tell the girl a story?”

In fact, when Hao Xiangtong was bored in the past, she often came to the library to find some miscellaneous books such as Notes on Swords and Immortals and Tales of Gods and Ghosts to read, such as "Fox Talk", "Ghost Talk", "Cat Strange Talk"... She likes all kinds of books in it the most. various stories.

It's just that her parents were worried that she read too many books, so they prevented her from coming to the library, so Hao Xiangtong now sneaks in through the window.

Hearing the word "story", Hao Xiangtong's eyes widened, and he nodded again and again, "What story?"

Chu Qiguang thought about the other party's later experience and performance, and said slowly: "It is said that there is a small country called Datang in this land thousands of miles overseas. Taoism."

"Our story begins with Wu Zetian, the third lady of the Wu family who has just been divorced..."

Hao Xiangtong listened with gusto to Wu Zetian's resignation, and shouted out the words "Don't bully the poor girl". Then he was punished to clean the ancestral hall, but he picked up a dragon fruit...

Living in such a world where the culture is far more desolate than the earth, Hao Xiangtong has never heard such an interesting and immersive story, especially Chu Qiguang's language is much more interesting than others, and there is a strange temperament in her body, which makes her Hear more fascinated.

She listened to Wu Zetian's practice and upgrade all the way, shining in the door, being loved by everyone, she just felt her heart surge.

When Wu Zetian attacked Helan Mountain and was about to capture the ex-married man alive and beat Xiaosan along the way, Chu Qiguang suddenly stopped, stood up and said, "It's late at night, why don't we come here today, I should go home."

Hao Xiangtong hurriedly reached out and grabbed Chu Qiguang, gritted his teeth and said, "Why is this! It's exciting!"

"The story can't be finished in one day. If you tell a few chapters every day, there must be a time to stop, right?" Chu Qiguang said: "This is called broken chapters."
