Chapter 53: You Flashed in My Eyes
"What?!"
For a while, the audience in the lobby seemed to be choking on eating too quickly, and they were all red and speechless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The news is so exciting for them.
Even Chen Guyu, who had just arrived here, couldn't help but stop going upstairs, ready to listen to the next news. Shangchu tribe, he also knew about it in some books.
In general, today's northern land is composed of two forces, one is those ambitious people from the south, mainly Xichuan and Shengtang, plus some family lords and small forces from all over the country, jointly planning to gradually devour this rich land. The other group is the local northerners.
Due to the unique customs of the northerners, most of their main forms of gathering are tribes, perhaps because of the bad weather here, or because the fighting between them is too fierce, in short, there is no concept of a country here, a tribe that is easy to move and can move around often represents a major force.
The northerners are not stupid, although they are inseparable from the funding and development of the southerners, but they can also see the undisguised desire in the eyes of the southerners. For the land that has been guarded for generations, it is natural to pass it on with heart. Therefore, above the major tribes of the northerners, there is also a temple. It contains the most powerful warriors and wisest sages of the Northerners, who will not bother with the tribes and empires below, but if anyone wants to endanger the land, they will stand up and stop it.
What the temple is, no one knows, the big people in the north may know, but obviously they will not tell the rulers of the south, even if the relationship is too close, it is impossible, this is the way to survive. Therefore, the existence of this so-called temple has always been in doubt, and the vast majority of southerners do not believe it, but the two empires seem to know something, and have been curbing the actions of their subordinates, and for this rich northland, it is only a transaction rather than a seizure.
Underneath the temple were the tribes of the Northerners. With the different attitudes towards the two empires, they can be roughly divided into eight major forces, four pro-Western tribes and four pro-Tang tribes. Although there are many northerners, it is obviously impossible for them all to participate in the battle of the empire, so these eight forces are only one of the representatives, and more are scattered among the small and medium-sized tribes scattered in the north, they basically do not participate in the struggle, and they may only think about how to obtain more benefits in the trade with the southerners.
This is the general situation in the Northland today, with constant strife and constant trade, but on the whole the form is still good, although there is occasional friction, but at least there is not much war.
It's just that now, the Shangchu tribe, one of the four major tribes of the pro-Tang faction, has been slaughtered?
Chen Guyu's first feeling was that he didn't believe it, how could a large tribe with tens of thousands of people be slaughtered alive, even if he was now comparable to the strength of the peak of the scriptures, it was impossible to do it, let alone silently!
Unless it is a peerless figure in the Dao or a strong person in the Nine Profound Sect, but...... How is it possible, Chen Guyu couldn't help but smile and shook his head, a tribe seems to be very large, but those dragon-like characters will not set their eyes on these tens of thousands of people at all, for them, no matter how many people there are, they are just a bunch of ants, how can they worry.
Chen Guyu didn't believe it, and those viewers naturally didn't believe it either, they all looked at that Ding San and scolded: "What kind of stupid things are you?! If you say this, you are not afraid that the people of the Shangchu tribe will drag you back to slaughter!"
"Haha, it's not bad to drag it back, this old boy's beautiful lady has been eyeing me for a long time!"
"you!"
Ding San blushed, straightened his neck and said: "Believe it or not, someone has seen it with their own eyes, and in a few days, the City Lord's Mansion may be about to release the news! If you don't believe it, if you have the courage to go outside the city to have a look, you may not be scared one by one!"
When everyone heard that Ding San was so arrogant, there was a commotion again, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, but no one could convince anyone.
Chen Guyu frowned when he heard this, and simply walked upstairs, anyway, it was just to listen to some interesting news on the way, whether it was true or not, it didn't matter.
Suddenly, the door of a private room on the second floor creaked open, and a slave in Tsing Yi walked out. I saw him walk to the railing in a few steps, looked down and said softly, "Everyone." ā
"My son-in-law asked the villain to spread the word, the news that Ding Sanye said is indeed the truth, please don't argue. ā
"Dare to ask who your prince is?" someone asked right now.
Speaking of which, the temperament of the servant in Tsing Yi became more and more warm, but there was a trace of arrogance in his words: "At the end of the three-mile alley in the west of the city is the mansion of my son-in-law!"
As soon as these words came out, the diners below suddenly quieted down, and the man who asked just now immediately picked up a glass full of wine and shouted loudly: "It turned out to be Xie Ergongzi, who was offended just now!"
And Ding San's old face was full of joy when he was named, and it seemed that it was a great honor to be named by a slave.
Chen Guyu couldn't help but look surprised, and he was also more interested in the second son of Xie in his mouth, obviously, this Xie Er should be a big man in Wangchuan City, and he must be a great character, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the mouth of his slave to quiet these rough men who run around the north and south all day long.
The servant in Tsing Yi retreated with a smile, but turned his gaze to Chen Guyu and said with a smile: "This son?"
Chen Guyu was slightly stunned, arched his hand and replied, "Dare to ask what's the matter?"
"Seeing that Childe seems to have no seat here, the special master invited Childe to go upstairs together, presumably Childe will not refuse. The slave put it mildly. But Chen Guyu also knew that it should be the master's intention, and it was definitely not the slave's own intention, so he hesitated and agreed. For him, a noble son in the city is just a nobleman, so why be afraid.
Ignoring the discussions behind him, Chen Guyu went upstairs and followed the servant into the private room in the center. I saw that in the small room, there was a handsome scholar in a white shirt, he stood up and said with a slight smile: "This son, you are polite!"
Chen Guyu returned the salute.
The servant in Tsing Yi ordered Xiao Er to add another one, and then stood back next to the scholar. Chen Guyu took a seat, and Xiao Er immediately removed the original meal and served it again as before.
Needless to say, everyone knows how to use leftovers to entertain guests.
The scholar quietly waited for another table of food to be served to the mahogany table, looked at Chen Guyu again, and then smiled: "This son, Xiaosheng just saw that the son was alone and had no place to sit, so he asked Duofu to invite the son in. ā
Chen Guyu smiled: "It's okay. Since someone is willing to entertain, he naturally won't care, not to mention that he also wants to see what this scholar's intentions are, after all, no matter how rich and powerful he is, he will not invite people to the table anywhere, and he has no performance, and the long journey is dusty and frosty, and there is no grace at all.
The scholar was stunned, and couldn't help nodding secretly, seeing this demeanor, he was a little more firm in the guess in his heart, and immediately asked gently: "I don't know your surname?"
"My surname is Chen. ā
"Chen Gongzi. The scholar smiled, raised another glass of wine and said, "Xiaosheng's surname is Xie, Xie Shengxian." Because I ranked second in the family, others called me Xie Er, and Chen Gongzi called me that. ā
Chen Guyu returned to the wine: "Gongzi Xie can call me Brother Chen." ā
"It's fine. ā
After being polite to each other, the meal was finally served, looking at the delicate and fragrant side dishes, Chen Guyu couldn't help but move his index fingers, since he was rescued by the old monk yesterday, he had not eaten such a delicious meal for several meals.
After the confession, Chen Guyu went directly to the chopsticks, but Xie Shengxian didn't say anything, just looked at it with a smile, and raised his wine glass from time to time to toast once, and didn't say much.
It wasn't until after three rounds of wine that he hesitated to speak: "Chen Gongzi...... Brother Chen, I don't know ...... you."
Chen Guyu was stunned for a moment, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, what's the matter?" ā
Xie Shengxian hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask Brother Chen, I wonder if Brother Chen knows some masters?"
"Master?" Chen Guyu muttered, a little puzzled: "What master?"
Xie Shengxian saw Chen Guyu's dazed face, and his heart was already half cold, but he still explained: "The so-called masters refer to those cultivators who can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, I don't know if Brother Chen denies it?"
Only then did Chen Guyu realize that this master was probably a character above the sixth page of the Sutra, because most of such characters rarely appeared in front of the people, so they seemed more and more mysterious. And those disciples of scattered or small sects, because of the difference in resources, most of them are less than five pages of the scriptures, and there is no big difference between them and the martial arts masters among ordinary people. This comes and goes, and the gap naturally arises.
For the characters above the sixth page of the Sutra, the people do not know what to say, and they are in awe like gods, even the scholars and scholars who have read the books of the sages must be honored as a master, and for the characters under them, they are just called martial artists at will.
However, he looked at Xie Shengxian's look of hope and a little fear and disappointment, and couldn't help but smile softly, but he still replied: "The masters in Brother Xie's mouth, if they are those characters above the sixth page of the Sutra, the younger brother still recognizes some." ā
"Seriously!" A very ordinary reply made the scholar in front of him, who had always been personable, stand up suddenly, and asked urgently, "Is Brother Chen's words true?"
"Naturally, take it seriously!"
"God bless!haha!" After Xie Shengxian laughed wildly, he sat down calmly, regained his previous demeanor, and confessed: "Brother Chen, I was rude just now, but I ......"
Suddenly, another person Huo Ran stood up from his seat and walked straight to the door. This time, it was Chen Guyu, who startled Xie Shengxian.
Chen Guyu rushed out of the door with a solemn face, but as far as his eyes could see, there were some diners, courtesans, and little seconders who were shouting from time to time, but the figure that flashed by disappeared.
But Chen Guyu was sure that he must be right.
The figure, he was familiar with.
Every time I went to study in the academy when I was a child, I had to look at this figure to calm down, I was afraid, I was in awe, I used to love, and now, I only have a strong longing, that is Mr. who regards him as a father!
That's Yang Li!
