Chapter Seventy-Four: Surrender

Next

As soon as Song Yu left, Xie Yang returned to the courtyard and entered the inner room.

One person in the house seemed to have been waiting for a long time, so he ate with a little wine, and when he saw Xie Yang coming in, he asked with a smile, "People are gone?"

Xie Yang sat down by himself, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine, and said happily after drinking it all: "It took more than a year, and I finally sent this guy to An Lushan!"

"As long as you can complete the tasks of the big boss, what is it to spend some time?" This person only wore a thin shirt in winter, with a short beard on his mouth, and the recklessness of the past gradually disappeared, and he was more calm and heavy.

Xie Yang looked at him, thinking back to what this person used to look like, and shook his head and chuckled for a while: "Look at you, how can you still have half the momentum of the big boss of Changshan Island, right, Peng Yuanwai!"

"Haha!" Peng Ze said with a smile: "Back then, the grass fell to make a living for the villagers, and now the people in the village are living a fairy life, it doesn't matter if I have the momentum or not!"

As the first group of people to follow Xu Chen, Peng Ze and the villagers on Changshan Island have long become the henchmen of Xu Chen and others, and now among the three hundred guards brought by Xu Chen to Chang'an, there are many teenagers selected from the villagers.

When the spiritual root was first tested, these teenagers naturally experienced it, although none of them were selected, but those elixirs that only exist in the cultivation realm are shared by everyone, and even everyone in the family is fortunate to enjoy the elixir of the gods.

Let's just say that Peng Ze himself, after taking the pill, has already broken through the realm of the grandmaster, if it weren't for Xu Chengang discovering the abnormality of Chang'an City, in order to avoid no one in his hands to use, he asked Peng Ze to suspend the foundation, otherwise he would have already begun to transform his true qi into aura.

Xie Yang naturally couldn't understand what the so-called fairy-like days in Peng Ze's mouth were like, but he couldn't help but be curious about the big proprietor he often mentioned.

"Why is your big proprietor so interested in this An Lushan?"

Xie Yang is a friend that Peng Ze met when he was in the rivers and lakes, but he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but he has been doing business abroad all the year round and likes to make friends with reckless heroes, which is quite utilitarian.

But the people in the rivers and lakes are the most bold and bold, and they are not afraid of purpose, just say it directly!

Xie Yang relied on his small net worth to help the down-and-out people in the rivers and lakes, and Peng Ze also received his favor back then.

This time, I got Xu Chen's task, and I needed someone who had nothing to do with him, at least so that people couldn't find out about being implicated in a short period of time. It just so happened that Xie Yang was in Chang'an at that time, and Peng Ze happened to meet him by chance, so Peng Ze chose this person.

Xie Yang has made countless friends with the rivers and lakes over the years, and Peng Ze's relationship with him is not very close, even if the connection between the two is found out by someone with a heart, it is difficult to link Xie Yang's connection with Peng Ze, a poor scholar, Song Yu, and naturally no one can find out Xu Chen behind the scenes.

In the past year or so, Peng Ze has not only instructed Xie Yang from time to time to let him get along with Song Yu purposefully, but he has also really benefited Xie Yang.

Xie Yang, a small businessman, was able to occupy a piece of the world in Chang'an City not because of the so-called tricks of Song Yu, a layman, but because of Peng Ze's strong support at any cost.

At the moment, hearing Xie Yang's intention to get close to Xu Chen, Peng Ze smiled and said: "Brother Xie, don't worry! The big boss is the time to employ people, and he doesn't have to worry about finding a chance to show his ambitions, but he still needs to do a good job of what he is doing now!"

"Haha, too!"

Xie Yang is not a stupid person, although he is full of curiosity about this big proprietor who can make Peng Ze go from a water bandit to a rich family member in just a few years, but he also knows the measure, and seeing that Peng Ze is unwilling to say more, he keeps his mouth shut and only cares about drinking and eating.

By the time Xu Chen returned home, it was already dark.

Lu Ying, who got the news one step earlier, greeted her like a hostess: "Hello sons, the soup pool has been prepared, please here!"

At a young age, he looks like he does things, Xu Chen, who was left out in the cold at the door, looked a little sluggish, and looked at Lu Hao beside him: "This is ...... Which one is this?"

Lu Hao understood his sister-in-law's thoughts, but obviously he couldn't say it, and he was saying it, but Wang Ce on the other side couldn't help but say: "What do you say?

Xu Chen was slightly flustered, and then turned his head and yelled at Lu Hao without changing his face: "What's the matter? Do you want me to come to the door to propose marriage? Don't be verbose! Go and tell my wife tonight, let her go to someone's girl's house after the New Year!"

"Hehe!" Lu Hao sneered, patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, pointed behind him, and said, "I still have to wait for a few years later, and you ...... If you don't give someone an answer today, I guess you won't be able to survive this year!"

His heart slammed suddenly, and Xu Chen already felt the burning gaze coming from behind him.

Turning around, I saw Tang Yuan walking step by step with a black face.

"Hehe, Uncle Tang has a good New Year!"

Tang Yuan didn't answer, but stared at him coldly, and said calmly: "Lord Xu, I don't know if the grass people still have the honor to invite you to a meal?"

Originally, he planned to use the next Xiangfu's literary meeting to perfunctory the past, but he didn't expect Tang Yuan to even say this, if he refused, it would be difficult to ease it again, Xu Chen just wanted to take his time and come naturally, but he didn't plan to fill the pond directly!

"This ...... ......Seeing that Tang Yuan's face was getting darker and darker, Xu Chen had no choice but to sigh lightly and said, "Then I'll go and freshen up first, it's dirty and rude!"

"Okay!" Tang Yuan nodded at this time, and his tone was a little softer: "Then I'll wait for you!

“……”

The scholars who came with him naturally didn't have the heart to really enjoy the exquisiteness of the soup pool, and after hurriedly washing, they changed into new clothes that fit well, and waited in the living room early.

Looking at the well-fitting clothes on their bodies, all the students were shocked, and at the same time, their perception of Xu Chen in their hearts rose a lot.

However, when everyone arrived, they waited for a long time.

Just when everyone was a little anxious, Lu Hao walked in and said to everyone with an apologetic face: "Big brother still has something, I won't go to the literary meeting in the teacher's house today, so I will go with you!"

"This ...... Isn't that right?"

"What could be more important than tonight's meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Indeed, although Xu Xiang is Brother Xu's teacher, there are still many famous people in the world attending tonight, and it is not easy to bring them together!"

"It's like, if you miss it, it's a pity!"

……

After all, Xu Chen invited him, but now he has missed the appointment, and these students inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts.

Moreover, what they fancy is Xu Chen, who is young but in a high position, with a right wrist, ability, and connections, as for Lu Hao...... They don't know each other!

Lu Hao kept smiling and listening, and waited until everyone quieted down, then he smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, a few days ago, my brother and I agreed to an elder's invitation, but there are too many things in the past two days, and it has been delayed again and again, and I really can't refuse tonight, so I can only act separately!"

Although Lu Hao's words made everyone understand a little, Xu Chen's choice also made some people angry.

"The invitation of the elders is important, isn't it important that our side matters?"

Looking at the expressions of these people, Lu Hao knew in his heart, but he was helpless, after all, it was too difficult to satisfy everyone.

Fortunately, Ruan Wenhao, who was waiting quietly on the side, saw this, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Everyone, you may not know that our brother Xu is not only a good hand at leading troops in battle, but also a great talent!"

"Oh?

As soon as these words came out, some talented people who thought highly of themselves suddenly looked at them.

"As early as when Brother Xu was in Yuzhang, there were two masterpieces, 'Queqiao Immortal' and 'Water Tune Song Head'! In addition, "The Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" must have been read many times, right?" Ruan Wenhao still replied with a smile.

"What? These two lyrics are actually written by Brother Xu?"

Although the students present were a little slow to grasp the situation, they put a lot more effort into the study of scriptures and poems than those of the same year who were flexible.

In the eyes of others, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall of tunes and lyrics at this time, but in the eyes of these "nerds", the requirements for words and sentences are not much less than poems, especially Xu Chen's two poems, whose words and artistic conception have long been natural, and they are not much better than the so-called best poems.

With such a level, it is not difficult to write two good poems at all, at least in the hearts of these people, no one dares to say that their level is better than Xu Chen.

"No wonder! No wonder! I'll just say, when did Yuzhang County have a great talent, it turned out to be Brother Xu!"

Ruan Wenhao's words were not finished, but none of the people present were stupid people, and the meaning of the unfinished words could be understood.

If Xu Chen also went to the Wenhui tonight, how could they still have a chance to show their appearance?

Thinking of this, the students who had some resentment towards Xu Chen before were grateful to him in vain, and then connected with the previous intimate actions, everyone's perception of Xu Chen was much higher in an instant.

With a vision for the future, a group of students immediately embarked on a journey to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Chen, who originally wanted to enjoy himself, finally remembered Tang Yuan, who was waiting in the gatehouse, hurriedly washed away the already small amount of dust, changed into a light long shirt, and walked to the front yard.

"Stone!" Xu Chen, who was thinking about how to face Tang Yuan's family later, suddenly saw Shi Lei flash in front of him, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Come here!"

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Shi Lei ran over and replied, "The third brother is calling me to eat!"

"Good thing!" Xu Chen said with a smile: "Take you to eat something delicious!"

"What's delicious...... Shi Lei, who had just become a little interested, couldn't help but shudder when he saw the unusually familiar smile on his eldest brother's face, and hurriedly jumped back and stared at Xu Chen vigilantly: "Big brother, don't try to fool me! I've been staying at home all day today, Uncle Tang has come a few times, I know better than you, I want to go by yourself, I'm not so stupid!"

"Really?" The smile on Xu Chen's face immediately turned cold: "You are not stupid, but believe it or not, I will immediately make you really stupid!"
