Dressed as a passerby in a martial arts novel

Chapter 34

Mingxiangfang is the largest teahouse in Fengdu City. The lobby on the first floor has a booming business because storytellers are invited. No matter men, women, young or old, wealthy gentry in common clothes, they are all willing to come here to rest their feet or listen to some fun in their spare time.

Because of this, there are mixed fish and dragons here, and there are everyone.

However, because today is the Flower Festival, most of the guests have gone to the outskirts of the city for a spring outing, so the teahouse at this time seems a little deserted.

There were a few tables scattered in the lobby, and the private room on the second floor was very private, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone there, so Chu Liandong and his team chose a place with a wide view to sit down.

The storyteller on the stage in the middle was telling today's story passionately. Chu Liandong listened carefully for a while. It was "Water Margin" No. 70, Shijie of Loyalty Hall, who was ranked by the heroes of Tianwen Liangshanpo.

It's about...recruiting security?
Lu Yao was originally a familiar character, and Zhu Cenxi didn't put on airs. In just a short while, the two of them were already familiar and called brothers and sisters.

"Brother Zhu, I didn't expect you to hold an important position in the city defense department at such a young age. You are worthy of being a young hero, since you are stronger than me!"

He has no modesty at all, and is obviously very confident in himself.

Zhu Cenxi laughed out loud and didn't refute him,

"Brother Yao is humble. At your current age, you have already mastered the art of swordsmanship. You are the best among your peers!"

Hearing what he said, Lu Yao's expression was very proud. His parents praised him for his talent in kendo since he was a child, and he would definitely become a grandmaster in the future.

Although it is a fact that he is talented, Lu Yao never slacks off because of his talent.

Speaking of it is a history of blood and tears. In order not to waste his talent, his mother went to the craftsman Tie Nan to make a blood-drinking whip. It is not an exaggeration to rip the whip lightly.

When he was young, he would believe whatever his mother said. When he heard that it was a whip specially bought to prevent him from being lazy, Xiao Luyao was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night.

He has seen the scene where someone came to his house to kick the gym and was whipped away by his mother. After that, he became even more obedient, and he did not dare to relax at all in sword practice.

Chu Liandong saw him immersed in memories, and also remembered the description in the book about Lu Yao learning swords when he was a child.

Gee tut.

The child was indeed frightened.

It is precisely because of this that the psychological quality is so strong!
"Brother Yao, what do you think of? Why do you look so bitter and bitter?"

Seeing his sudden bitterness, Zhu Cenxi asked curiously.

Shu He covered his lips and smiled lightly,

"It probably reminds me of practicing swords when I was a child."

Chu Liandong saw that he hadn't recovered yet, so she took the initiative to ask about Zhu Cenxi.

"Brother Zhu is from Fengdu?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Cenxi heard the question, turned to look at her, smiled,
"No, I'm from Fangzhou, not from Fengdu."

"Huh?" Lu Yao stared at a pair of round eyes, very curious,

"Then how did Brother Zhu come to this Fengdu?"

Although it was an ordinary question, Zhu Cenxi was silent for a long time, so long that Lu Yao was a little flustered, and was about to speak, thinking that if it was inconvenient, he could not speak.

"When I was seven years old, there was a severe drought in Fangzhou, and the crops failed to harvest. The imperial court's disaster relief team did not arrive for a long time. My family was originally a farmer..."

Having said that, he paused for a while, did not go any further, and simply summed up his words.

"Afterwards, my mother took me to Fengdu to visit relatives."

Everyone's heart sank. The severe drought in Fangzhou was the most serious disaster in the history of the Yan Dynasty, not only in Fangzhou, but also in the five major states of Minzhou, Yingzhou, Ningzhou, and Qingzhou.

Except for some state cities that went south to the sea and the relatively prosperous and wealthy state cities that were spared from its harm, the rest, large and small, suffered losses.

Many people died that year.

That year was also known as the Year of Heaven's Punishment.

As a result, Yan Chao's vitality was seriously injured, and what made it worse was the intrusion of the Tuoba clan, who lost seven large and small cities, that is, the seven cities of Lianyun.

That was a disgrace to the Yan Dynasty, and it was also an opportunity for Zhu Cenxi to become Marquis of the opposite sex.

Chu Lian moved to look at Zhu Cenxi, who was still a little childish now, her sharp eyebrows were filled with worry and reminiscence.

Fangzhou is the border between Dayan and Tuoba...

The rivers and lakes and the court seem to be far apart, but they are actually very close.

She looked out the window.

The peddler of the sugar seller is selling hard, with a warm smile on his face; the naughty naughty boy is playing with his temper because his mother does not buy him a sugar man; the men and women walking on the street are all neatly dressed and carefree .

The years are so quiet, can the people of the Yan Dynasty in Lianyun Qicheng be like this?
Chu Lian moved to think of Youyun Sixteen Continents, the champion Hou who sealed the wolf and Xuxu, and Ming Chengzu who "six divisions came out repeatedly, and the dust in Mobei was clear".

That was real history, and it is history, as it is told in this book that has become a reality.

"Big Brother!"

She called softly, with countless emotions in her half-closed eyes,

"What do you wish for in this life?"

The sudden question made everyone present stunned. Chu Liandong still looked out of the window, as if this question was just a casual question.

Zhu Cenxi smiled arrogantly, his eyes shone with a brilliance that could not be ignored,
"Recover the Seven Cities of Lianyun."

"I went there with my father when I was young, and the people there are nice, kind-hearted and simple. I also met a friend, and I promised that I would look for him in the future!"

There was nostalgia and affirmation in his tone, what others heard was just a boy's whimsical words, but the words from his mouth were extremely convincing.

"Speaking of which, it is fate to meet you in Fengdu City. I will join the army soon. The master knows my ambition and is willing to introduce me. A man born in heaven and earth should make a difference. I want to To fulfill my promise!"

Zhu Cenxi couldn't hide his excitement in his tone, several pairs of eyes were staring at him with different emotions.

Zhu Cenxi: ...

"Yes, I'm a little excited! I haven't been able to say these words to anyone before."

After Lu Yao heard his remarks, he suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart. He slammed the table and stood up, making everyone jump.

"Okay! Well said! I want to join the army with you!"

What? ? ?

Chu Liandong was also very emotional at first, but Lu Yao's sudden interruption almost made her little heart fly out.

Song Jibai reacted quickly and pressed the person down, covered Lu Yao's mouth with one hand, and smiled apologetically at Zhu Cenxi,
"He lacks a string in his head and his mind is immature, so what he says cannot be taken seriously."

Lu Yao widened his eyes, struggling,

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I was serious!
Song Jibai smiled cruelly, covered it even tighter, and warned Lu Yao in a sullen tone,
"Think about your mother's blood-drinking whip."

Lu Yao was instantly cute.

Zhu Cenxi was very puzzled, shouldn't he support this kind of spirit of serving the country?

"Why is this?"

Shu He held his forehead speechlessly and explained,

"Lu Yao is the youngest son and the only male in the family. If he goes to join the army without saying a word, his mother will take him back and take care of him if he digs the ground three feet away!"

Zhu Cenxi laughed,
"Brother Yao has a big heart, even if he doesn't join the army, he can achieve a career."

Lu Yao, who was still gloomy at first, became happy again when he heard his words, and he tried his best to signal Song Jibai to let go.

"Brother Zhu, I think you will definitely be able to become a great general! At that time, I should also become a master of swordsmanship, hehe!"

He boasted without guilt, and the four fingerprints on his face looked funny and funny.

Zhu Cenxi smiled and nodded, the sun was rising outside and there was a bit of enthusiasm, he estimated the time to get up and say goodbye to everyone.

"It's getting late, and I still have a job, so I can't stay for long."

"Ah, brother Zhu, don't you stay for dinner? It's almost noon."

Lu Yao was a little bit reluctant, how did the time pass so fast?Obviously we didn't talk for long.

"Sorry, next time I'm hosting, I'm going to drink and talk!"

Zhu Cenxi patted him on the shoulder, bid farewell to everyone, and left.

The remaining four people sat around the table and were speechless for a while, Lu Yao sighed and lay half prone on the table, with a sad expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

The sound of flapping wings sounded by the window, accompanied by two gurgles, Chu Lian turned her head to look, and met a pair of black bean eyes.

The pigeon with gray and black feathers tilted its head and looked at her face to face, cooing twice from time to time, as if it was urging something, but also seemed to be puzzled.

"Is this lunch delivered to your door?"

Chu Lian twitched her brain and blurted out this sentence.

"Brother, are you hungry? You can't eat this, it's a carrier pigeon! It's not that you can't eat it, you can eat it after reading the letter!"

Lu Yao clasped his head in his hands and explained.

Only Chu Liandong was sitting by the window, she smiled and stretched out her hand, the pigeon ignored it, and flew to the table on its own, looking at her with her small chest up.

The small round eyes like black beans shone with unknown brilliance, as if dissatisfied with what she just said.

Chu Lian moved inexplicably and felt guilty. She reached out and untied the small bamboo tube tied between the pigeon's legs, took out the letter paper inside, and unfolded it.

reply ASAP.

"What did you write?" Lu Yaoshen raised his head to find out.

Chu Lian spread out the letter paper on the table, and now everyone can see clearly.

"This……"

Shu He hesitated a little, and lightly tapped the pigeon's head with his fingertips, but was pecked twice instead.

"It's not signed, and I can't tell whose handwriting it is. Could it be that it was sent by mistake?"

Song Jibai stood up, folded his sleeves, and walked out.

"Whether it was sent back to the inn by mistake, you will know at a glance."

The remaining three looked at each other and got up to follow.

Inside the inn, the tables and chairs were crumbling. Apart from the buddy and the innkeeper, there was no one else in the lobby.

Chu Lian moved, looking at the scene in the house, she was very surprised, and even felt a little familiar.

Sure enough, the innkeeper sat behind the counter, crying and laughing with money in his arms, which was very complicated.

"Boss, what's going on here?"

Shu He asked.

The innkeeper didn't answer, and sat alone thinking about life, apparently already trapped in his own world.

The guy wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied,
"A group of people who looked like Taoist priests in white came to the inn earlier. I thought they were going to stay in the inn, but I didn't expect them to come looking for someone."

As he spoke, he sighed, and those small eyes glanced at them guilty, and pointed at Song Jibai,

"That's right, I'm looking for this young master. I don't know where you are? Who knows that those Taoist priests are utterly unreasonable and threatened us! It just so happens that your companion, the young master who likes to wear black clothes, is back, oh yo ! As soon as these two groups of talents met, they started fighting without saying a word!"

"Scare all the guests of our inn away! The one who beat him was a fierce one. Later, an old Taoist priest with white beard came again. The two groups stopped beating and went back to the house together."

The inn clerk described the process with emotion, Chu Liandong basically knew what was going on, she turned to look at Song Jibai.

The man's face was cold, and there was lingering boredom in his eyes. It was the first time that Chu Liandong saw such a clear expression on his face.

How could this person who returned to the mountain from Yan not be able to linger?

Shu He stepped forward, apologizing to the two of them,

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience and loss caused to the inn. Please tell the boss to convert it into silver and let us know. We will take full responsibility."

Although Shu He is young, he is beautiful and has a good attitude.As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the innkeeper and the waiter eased a lot, and on the contrary, they felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, girl, you are serious! The old Taoist priest has already paid compensation, and even gave me a few fortune charms, peach blossom charms. Hehehe, I just don't know if it will work or not."

The innkeeper smiled shyly, his black goatee trembling twice with his expression.

Um?Are people from Yan Guishan so polite?
Chu Liandong couldn't believe it. The small amount of plot description in the original book, coupled with the protagonist's clear attitude towards Yan Guishan, made it hard for her to read the double buff with colored glasses.

Several people had different expressions, they obviously thought of going with Chu Liandong, and they couldn't believe it.

On the contrary, Song Jibai was stunned for a while when he heard this, his brows were furrowed and then released, his expression became more thoughtful.

Lu Yao didn't believe these words at all, he suspected that the old Taoist had cast some kind of enchantment on the innkeeper and the staff.

There is no way, Lu Yao hates everyone in Yangui Mountain equally, even every plant, every tree, every flower and every leaf.

He patted the Xiaoyao Sword on his waist, and the sword vibrated twice as if it was also responding to him.

With a domineering wave,

"Let's go upstairs, I want to see which old man is here?"

Boy, the quality is very high!

As soon as they stepped into the second floor, there was a faint smell of blood permeating the room, and several people felt a thump in their hearts.

Could it be that Jiang Lingxu was outnumbered and injured?
Lu Yao walked to the door with a few steps, and there was a faint voice coming from inside. He really didn't have any manners at all at this moment, and kicked the door open with a bang.

The martial arts of the people inside are not low, and they knew they were back, but they didn't expect such a sudden appearance, and they were shocked!

As soon as the unfamiliar scolding sound came out,

"Where did you come from, a little bastard who doesn't know how to be polite? You can take responsibility for frightening the old man!"

The Luyao people listened to the scolding before they saw it, and immediately scolded back not to be outdone,

"Where did the old man come from, half of his body is buried in the ground, and he still cares about children, he is not ashamed!"
