Chapter 549: Chen Xiuqi
Along the way, Archer stopped eating those delicious things, and only guarded his mother, for fear that his mother would accidentally leave him.
And Meng Shu also knew that although this child was smart, he was very sensitive, especially when it was his dearest person in front of him, so naturally he didn't dissuade him, but just silently took care of him and his mother by his side.
After walking for three days, we came to the junction of the northern and southern kingdoms.
Out of here, they are completely safe, but not yet, which means that they still have to worry all the time, especially in this place. There is no wind or rain all the way, but that doesn't mean that you can get through it smoothly.
Here, it is the key, success is also it, defeat is also it, whether you can leave the south smoothly is now.
The four of them were still dressed up as before, passing through each level layer by layer, and the journey went smoothly and nothing went wrong.
When it came time to get out of the last door, they still used spells to forge the sign of going out according to the previous method.
But at this time, suddenly a group of guards came from the city. Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu glanced at each other, and felt that it seemed to be bad, but they had already arrived at the gate of the city, and if they fled immediately, then it would definitely be eye-catching, so in the end, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu still decided to take a look first, after all, if they got out of here, they would go to the north, so once there was something at that time, Lu Qingyang could take a few of them out with his mana, because after all, it didn't take long to get from here to the north, as long as they arrived in the north, the people in the south would have no way to take them.
There weren't so many guards, they lined up neatly and ran towards this side, while Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang quietly watched them.
And just when Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang thought they were going this way, the guards suddenly turned around and walked towards the city wall on the side.
Meng Shu looked over there and found that it was on fire, and they should have rushed there to put out the fire. At this moment, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu were relieved.
Finally, it was safe to get out of town.
Out of the city, it can be described as a flat river.
Although the northern and southern kingdoms were at war, the merchants of the two countries did not cease to communicate with each other, and the kings of the two countries did not oppose it, but approved of it. That's why there is this road to the northland.
They drove the carriage along the avenue towards the front.
One more day to be able to reach the northern country, speaking of which, Lu Qingyang and Mengshu still have some nostalgia. After all, it should have been more than half a month since they strayed into that place this time, especially since it was deserted, and they were very happy to see people now, and when they arrived in the north, it was even more needless to say.
O Northland! the Northland of their hearts.
For Archer and his mother, the northern kingdom may be a place that can liberate them, but for Lu Qingyang and Mengshu, it doesn't feel bad, this may be the first time in their lives that they feel homesick!
Mengshu used to travel in the world, but there was no homesickness, he felt that Wangcheng was just that prosperous place, he would miss his relatives at home, his brother, his mother and father. But for this land, there are not so many emotions. It can't be said that there is no emotion, maybe there is no special feeling of longing! After all, he is in this country, and there is always no sense of separation. That's what counts!
And now, after staying in that place for so long, he has a kind of longing, which is the longing for his relatives and the land.
Lu Qingyang also felt this way. Although he was in the army before, he didn't miss this land much, after all, he was also extremely free and easy, and he only missed his relatives, but after leaving for so long, he had a different feeling when he stepped on this land again, which he had never had before.
When he entered the city gate, Mengshu walked in front. The gatekeeper stopped him and asked him for a sign, and this time, he didn't show any sign, but said directly: "I am Mengshu, the second son of Mengfu." “
The soldier guarding the door looked at Meng Shu, he had seen Meng Yang, and Meng Yang and Meng Shu were not very old, so he actually believed it, but Jin couldn't rely on his opinion, so he asked Meng Shu to wait, and he went to ask his superiors.
After a while, a man came from the city, dressed in white, with a red collar and cuffs. He smiled from afar and walked this way, and all the women and children stopped to look at him along the way, as if they had never seen such a handsome man.
"What's the matter with you kid, didn't you go to Biansai, why did you come back from the southern country?" he asked, although he knew that this kid had never been restless.
As soon as he said this, the soldiers guarding the door all gave way to make way for Mengshu Lu Qingyang and his party.
Meng Shu walked up, stretched out his two arms and looked at the man, and said, "It's hard to say! But look at my running all the way, my clothes are about to break, just pick up the wind and wash the dust or something, get me some decent clothes first." “
The man seemed to be accustomed to Mengshu's casualness, and glanced at him with a smile and said, "I haven't even said it, you have arranged everything?" Then he turned and commanded his men to do it at once.
Along the way, Mengshu said this to him, and he arrived at his house.
Archer's mother's illness did not improve, so Chen Xiu called the maid of the family to serve, and Archer also went with his mother.
After that, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu went to bathe.
After bathing, Chen Xiu had already asked someone to prepare the meal.
Chen Xiu asked Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu to sit down and said, "Archer and his mother have already sent someone to the room for dinner, so let's eat here!"
As soon as he said Mengshu, he understood, and he was very grateful to Chen Xiu.
When he was on the road, Chen Xiu had already met Lu Qingyang, and he saw at first glance that this young man was extraordinary, both in temperament and martial arts. That kind of extraordinary can be seen at a glance by a discerning person. And Lu Qingyang also likes Chen Xiu very much, not the kind of tolerant like, but really likes this kind of person. Or maybe he yearns to be a person like Chen Xiu!
Chen Xiu, who is about the same as Mengshu's background, is the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and already has such an advantage, but he has never been arrogant since he was a child, but he is very modest and modest. Meng Shu has not been accustomed to the sons of those high-ranking officials and nobles since he was a child, but he is very pleasing to the eye when he looks at Chen Xiu, because Chen Xiu has never bullied others, but is very peaceful to anyone, of course, he is not the kind of smiling tiger sycophant, after all, his father's official position is very high in the court, and he doesn't need to talk to anyone, this is what Meng Shu likes about him.
And another point is that he is righteous and free, he is the most proud disciple of Taifu in the school, but he has never been a little proud, but he is relatively not very old-fashioned. At that time, he and Mengshu went up to the mountains to hunt game, went down to the river to catch fish, and they were all together with Mengshu, speaking of which, he and Mengshu have become good brothers since they were teenagers.
After that, whether he relied on his personal skills or his father's status, he could steadily find a beautiful and troublesome position in the royal city, but he told the emperor lightly that he was coming here.
Guards or bandits, turned into wolves and jackals.
This is what this sentence refers to, a place that is only so close to the southern country. Because he knew that if this place was guarded by the unfaithful, the people of this city would be invaded by war sooner or later, so he chose to come here. And his father did not stop him, the so-called tiger father has no dog son, with a son like him, the father will naturally not be bad. His father also thought that the place was a blessing to the people of the north for him to keep it.
So his father didn't stop him, but was very supportive.
Mengshu actually admires such a person very much, admires him for caring about the world, but he can let himself live so fast and comfortable.
Chen Xiu was undoubtedly the only person he admired in the court. But perhaps the reason for admiration actually includes that he can't do what he does.
Presumably Chen Xiu, maybe he is very selfish, he doesn't like any court, so he doesn't want to do things in the court, his wish is to be able to walk freely in the rivers and lakes, see all the scenery in the world, and when he returns home, there are relatives waiting, this may be what he likes! And Chen Xiu, he actually doesn't like the court in his heart, but he doesn't put the people and the court together, he clearly knows that the people are the people, the court is the court, and what he hates the court is not the reason for him to give up the safety of the people. It doesn't matter if the court destroys him, but he doesn't want to see the people of the world suffer.
At this point, Meng Shu really admires Chen Xiu.
Sometimes, he looked at Chen Xiu not like a character in the world, but like a god, carefree, not bound by anything, with a wave of his hand, the breeze on his sleeves, as if he was going to ride the wind at any time, but he had a moment of benevolence, able to tolerate all this, and to cherish the people of the country.
Meng Shu felt that if Chen Xiu was really a god, he should be the most qualified god.
All people only have that impression of God, that is, they think that God should be high, elegant and dusty, and their fingers do not touch the spring water, and they have always looked at this person indifferently, but Mengshu never thought it was like this.
God should be able to help mortals, and with great power comes great responsibility. Since they have so much power, then they should help people, not just be so high, otherwise it will be useless, and it is better to have no God in this world. Therefore, in Mengshu's imagination, God should be like Chen Xiu, with a loving heart.
After eating, Chen Xiu and Lu Qingyang were playing chess, because Meng Shu was too tired, because he drove the carriage most of the way, because Lu Qingyang wanted to save his strength in case something happened, so he was very sleepy now, so he turned around and went to sleep.
The black and white chess pieces clashed, and the killing was in full swing. Both of them are such indifferent as immortals, but at the moment on the chessboard, they are in flames of war.
After a game, Lu Qingyang won.
Chen Xiu gave him a word of admiration, while Lu Qingyang smiled indifferently and said: "I won by luck, this journey is also very entangled, not as free and easy as you." “
Although he won, Lu Qingyang admired Chen Xiu even more, because in this game of chess, Lu Qingyang was almost racking his brains to calculate, and compared to him, Chen Xiu has always been very calm. Lu Qingyang also really believes in Mengshu's eyesight, and it is true that the people he intersects with are really not wrong, they are all so special. After this battle, Lu Qingyang admired Chen Xiu even more.
With such Chen Xiu, Lu Qingyang feels that he is a friend who can make friends for a lifetime.
It's just that Lu Qingyang has a feeling in his dark that when he walks into the gate of this northern country, it seems that everything is about to begin.
Something might have been interrupted as they entered that place, but now that they've come out, it seems like everything is back on track, and everything is going to start again.
Those who have been secretly arranged will begin to appear one by one, and they will also have to go through what they should have experienced.
At this time, Lu Qingyang felt that being able to know Chen Xiu seemed to be a touch of emerald green seen in the deep winter, and suddenly everything was desolate and desolate, although there was a violent storm, but there was also this emerald green. Lu Qingyang felt that maybe God wanted them to calm their minds! Even if they were enemies of this world, as long as they insisted on themselves, they would not be afraid of anything.
Meng Shu explained that he slept with Lu Qingyang, so Chen Xiu only asked people to prepare a room for these two people. When he went back, Meng Shu was already lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. He was really dead this time, without a little guard, because he felt that this place was enough to rest assured, so there was absolutely no danger.
And Lu Qingyang looked around, and there didn't seem to be any extra beds. In other words, Chen Xiu only prepared a bed? Lu Qingyang felt that Chen Xiu was not the kind of person who liked to spoof........., right? Mengshu specially explained.
For a while, Lu Qingyang looked at Meng Shu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and he was angry. This kid really did it on purpose. But fortunately, Chen Xiu also felt sorry for him, so he specially chose a room with a relatively large bed! It's just that Lu Qingyang always felt that it would be misunderstood that the two old men always slept on the same bed.
