Section 171 Treats
In a harmonious atmosphere, the celebration and summary meeting was finally over, and Wen Xiuzhi drove Xu Yan back to the hotel, and sent Xu Yan downstairs to the hotel. Then, Xu Yan went to the hotel by himself - because of the fooling around last night, Xu Yan was still a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that Zhu Youxiang would see something.
He pushed open the door and found Zhu Youxiang sitting on the sofa in the living room, leaning forward, watching TV intently, but he didn't notice that he pushed the door in - Xu Yan's first reaction was that the damn "Double Palace Mystery" was filming a sequel again, otherwise Zhu Youxiang would not be so fascinated, and then he woke up: "What are you doing stupidly, the heroine of the Double Palace Romance, she only slept with herself last night - she personally said that she didn't shoot the sequel to the Double Palace Romance!" β
At this time, Xu Yan noticed that the program Zhu Youxiang was watching was the international channel of CCTV and international news, so he stopped curiously and listened to the voice on the TV: "...... According to the corpses found so far, there are more than a hundred, and these corpses are all almost completely dried corpses with a large amount of blood lost...... According to the spokesman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police have grasped the motive of the murder of this ruthless murderer and have certain clues, the Metropolitan Police Department has set up a search countermeasure headquarters for this case, the spokesman called on the citizens of Tokyo not to panic, to remain calm, the police have locked the target, the murderer is those psychopaths who worship vampires, they will soon arrest the murderer...... Those rumored vampires don't have zΓ i's ......"
As the announcer spoke, heavily armed Japanese policemen appeared on television. They appeared in large groups, shields and guns in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy. There were also medical staff wrapped in white protective suits, who carried tightly wrapped corpses on stretchers to the car.
This Japanese news passed quickly, and the next thing that was broadcast was the situation in Ukraine, the news of large groups of people demonstrating and throwing Molotov cocktails, and where the fire was fired again, and the government army and the civilian armed forces fought again - Xu Yan was numb to the chaos in Ukraine. It is strange that there will be no demonstrations and wars over there, and the wind and waves will be calm and peaceful.
He looked at Zhu Youxiang. Seeing that she was still staring at the TV, frowning, and looking worried, Xu Yan coughed dryly: "Ahem." Xuan Yun. I am back! β
Zhu Youxiang was watching TV in the hall of the room, and when she heard Xu Yan's voice, she turned around and smiled: "I'm sorry, I was just watching it, Childe, are you back?" β
Seeing Zhu Youxiang, Xu Yan was inexplicably relaxed, and suddenly felt very peaceful and warm. He said apologetically, "I'm back." I'm sorry, Xuan Yun. Last night, Wen Xiuzhi dragged me to celebrate, I drank too much, I can't come back, I left you here alone, it's really sad not to go......"
Zhu Youxiang waved his hand to stop Xu Yan and continued: "Childe doesn't have to explain - Childe socializes with friends, this is a normal exchange, and a man should do." Mr. Wen also called me to explain earlier. Childe drank a lot of bars last night, and now he is a little uncomfortable? β
Listening to Zhu Youxiang's gentle and kind words, Xu Yan's heart was calm, but he was secretly ashamed. He sat down on the sofa and spread his hands and feet comfortably: "It's okay, it's not very uncomfortable. Xuan Yun, I haven't had time to thank you for saving my life, at that time, I was trampled under the feet of that monster and couldn't move, I thought I was really going to die. β
Zhu Youxiang said with a smile: "Childe's words are serious, although I will not interfere with Childe's experience in slaying demons and demons, but this is just to cultivate Childe's experience." Seeing that Childe is worried about his life, how can I sit and watch Childe die under the claws of the monster without making a move? However, it is really difficult to call it superior this time. β
I knew that Zhu Youxiang would probably mention this, but when Zhu Youxiang really mentioned it, Xu Yan couldn't help blushing. He said vaguely: "I think, in this battle, my appearance is not good or bad, it's normal~ There are no outstanding highlights, but I haven't made - uh- big mistakes, it's just an ordinary normal level." β
Zhu Youxiang asked calmly: "In your opinion, Gongzi, with the level of your qi induction period, plus a team of elite officers and soldiers armed with firearms, in the end, it was a tie with a low-level monster, is this situation normal?" β
Xu Yan knew that this was Zhu Youxiang saving face for himself, this was a tie, this was obviously his own defeat! At that time, he had to call "help" directly, if it wasn't for Zhu Youxiang's flying sword to save him, his little life would have been killed - where is this called a tie?
Xu Yan had a bitter face and raised his hands in surrender: "Xuan Yun, I know, I must have made a mistake, but I just can't figure it out, where did I make a mistake?" I think that in the whole battle, I have been very cautious and careful, and my combat effectiveness is also normal - why did I end up in that bad battle, I think, it should be that monster is too powerful, too cunning, beyond the ordinary, right? β
Zhu Youxiang nodded lightly: "Childe thinks that monster is more powerful and cunning than usual, and I also agree with this, this is indeed a reason why the battle is unfavorable." But the strength or weakness of the enemy or the wisdom and foolishness of the enemy, this is not up to us to choose, we can only decide, only our own actions. Therefore, whether the enemy is strong or not is not the focus of our discussion.
Just now, Childe has a saying that he feels that his battle table yesterday is quite ordinary, and it can be regarded as a normal performance - I should correct Childe's thoughts: normal is not the same as ordinary! β
Xu Yan was surprised: "Normal and ordinary, isn't that the same?" β
"It's obviously different. For example, as a healthy adult man, under normal circumstances, they should be able to walk more than ten miles without breaking down, but I look at most adult men in your country, their body is very good, and it is estimated that if they run a few hundred meters, they will lose their breath, which is called ordinary.
For another example, as a monk in the Qi Induction Period, with the two great skills of sword and protective shield, under normal circumstances, Childe you should be able to kill it very easily, but in fact, Childe, you tried your best, and in the end you could only end up equally. So, I think. In yesterday's battle, there must have been some mistakes.
Now, let's discuss. It is not to criticize you, but to find out the mistake, so that you can understand it, and in the future, you can make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and avoid the same mistakes and the same dangers. β
said. Zhu Youxiang looked at Xu Yan with blazing eyes, and in her flickering eyes, Xu Yan read a sentence: Next time. If this kind of thing happens again, Xu Gongzi, you don't have such good luck again, and someone will send a flying sword to save you!
Xu Yan stared at the teacups on the table, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. Pondered for a long time. Then he said, "Xuan Yun, you have a lot of sense. I feel that there is a place where my mistakes are the strictest. β
"Childe, please speak."
"When the monster escaped from the next door, I shouldn't have followed it to chase it downβat that time, I thought that the monster had been so badly wounded that it should have lost its soul, and it should have fled for its life. There won't be the guts to ambush me, so ...... Unexpectedly. That guy just crouched at the entrance of the cave and ambushed me, almost killing me - in the previous time against the monster, I always pressed it to fight, but it was that mistake, the victory and defeat immediately reversed, and was almost overturned by the monster. I think that must have been my biggest mistake. β
Zhu Youxiang bowed her head, and she asked, "So, what experience did Childe sum up from this?" β
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't I say it?" I shouldn't have hunted down that demon's ......"
"How can it be said that it is wrong to eliminate the demons, cut the grass and roots, and completely eliminate the demons after defeating them, leaving no future troubles? Now that he has gained the upper hand in battle, it is right that Childe wants to completely destroy the demon and pursue and kill it. If there is a mistake, the fault is only the way of chasing and killing.
Childe had already thought that the monster might set up an ambush on the other side, but he still thought that he was lucky, so he rushed straight away, and finally fell into the trap of the monster - IMHO, this idea that "monsters are stupid" is very dangerous.
In the past, my master once said that the living environment of the demon world is a hundred times more dangerous than the human world, it is a world of blood and fire that is at war all day long, the weak eat the strong, the fittest survive, and all the monsters fight all day long. All the monsters that can survive there are strong men who have experienced a hundred battles, and their battle instincts are very sharp and cunning. Therefore, when fighting monsters, Childe must not be lucky, and may even plan for the worst first to ensure that he is invincible, and then look for a fighter. β
Listening to Zhu Youxiang rambling a lot, Xu Yan frowned slightly, looking a little impatient - Zhu Youxiang said a lot, it did sound very reasonable, but the most critical issue, she never talked about it, Xu Yan couldn't help asking: "Xuan Yun, could it be that when I was chasing that monster, there was a better way than to drill through that hole?" β
Zhu Youxiang said with certainty: "A better way? There must be that, and more than one. β
Xu Yan was surprised: "There is more than one way?" Xuan Yun, tell me about it? β
"Maybe it's because of the bystanders, but I helped Gongzi come up with some methods. For example, Childe, you have a sword stunt - with Childe's current skills, you can use the sword to make a big hole in the wall that can pass people very easily, and then Childe calmly breaks through the wall, in this case, the monster probably can't ambush you, right? β
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then, he screamed "sigh" and slapped his thigh: Yes, he is really stupid! Seeing that monster drill through the dog hole, he didn't think much about it at all, and he had a limited idea of "if he wants to go over, he can only get out of that hole like the other party", but he forgot about it, and with his own strength, he actually has the ability to quickly punch a big hole in the wall and then directly break the wall and chase it over!
He already has the strength to surpass mortals, but he is still a mortal mentality, and he has not yet realized the fact that he is already a monk!
Seeing Xu Yan's stunned expression, Zhu Youxiang smiled, and she explained, "Young Master Xu, this is also the tradition of our Holy Sword Sect. After each battle, the master always summons all the disciples at the first time to review the whole process together, review the pros and cons and gains and losses in the battle, comment on the disciples' performance in the battle, summarize the experience, and learn lessonsβafter this process, not only the disciples who participate in the battle will gain something, but also the other disciples who are watching will also get a lot of useful enlightenment, and avoid some mistakes in future battles......"
Zhu Youxiang was still talking, but Xu Yan's phone rang, and he picked up the phone and looked at it. But it's literary. He was surprised, he had just broken up with Wen Xiuzhi, what was he calling again?
Xu Yan pressed to answer: "Brother Wen." Hello! β
Wen Xiuzhi didn't greet Xu Yan either, and went straight to the point: "Yanzi, you and Miss Zhu are still in the hotel, right?" Have you had lunch? Is the place set? β
"Not yet, I'm going to go out with Xiao Zhu to find some snacks in the capital and taste local specialties......"
Hearing Xu Yan say that he hadn't eaten yet, Wen Xiuzhi immediately became happy: "Ah." Brother and Miss Zhu haven't eaten yet? Then don't eat yet, I'll be in your downstairs lobby, you can go downstairs and meet me. I'll take you to eat fresh, absolutely satisfying you! β
Then, without waiting for Xu Yan to agree, Wen Xiuzhi hung up the phone directly. Xu Yan could only smile bitterly at the microphone. He said to Zhu Youxiang: "Xuan Yun." Mr. Wen said to take us out to play today, he was waiting for us in the lobby of the hotel, he wanted to invite us, said he wanted to take us to a fresh restaurant, you see......"
"Mr. Wen?" Zhu Youxiang frowned slightly, and she said euphemistically: "Mr. Wen is a prominent figure in your country's Yamen, with heavy responsibilities and busy affairs. For our business. I am really worried about delaying Mr. Wen's work. β
Xu Yan didn't think about it that much. He said: "It's okay, Wen Xiuzhi proposed to take us to dinner, and it wasn't what I asked, he should be measured and should be fine." β
At that moment, Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang got out of the hotel and met Wen Xiuzhi in the lobby of the hotel - looking at Wen Xiuzhi's appearance, he didn't seem to have left at all. He greeted Zhu Youxiang with a smile and said, "Let's go, get in my car, I'll take you to a special place, find good food, and definitely satisfy you!" β
Xu Yan also thought that Wen Xiuzhi was going to take him to a high-end club to eat and drink, or a special diet in the capital hidden in the deep alley, but he didn't expect that Wen Xiuzhi started the car and came to the street, and then, the car drove all the way down the street, walked for about half an hour, but stopped.
Wen Xiuzhi pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said, "It's here, this is it!" β
Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang also got out of the car, looking at the signboard at the door of the restaurant, Xu Yan couldn't cry or laugh: KFC, KFC fast food restaurant!
Dare to love, Wen Xiuzhi blew the boss's cow, saying that there is a great delicacy, and he took half an hour to arrive in a good place, but it turned out to be a KFC fast food restaurant!
For a while, Xu Yan really thought that he had misheard, he pointed to the red storefront of KFC and asked, "Brother Wen, you shouldn't be joking with us, right?" Shall we eat here at noon? β
Wen Xiuzhi was stunned, he smiled and said: "How good this place is, the scenery is bright, the sun is shining, the street scene is bustling, eating here must taste good!" Brother, you believe me right, come on, let's go in-hehe, Miss Zhu, be wronged, let's go in first. β
Wen Xiuzhi pushed and pulled Xu Yan into the KFC restaurant, and found a place by the window: "Brother Yan, and Miss Zhu, sit down and rest!" Whatever you want to eat, you just have to order, you don't have to be polite to me. β
Listening to Wen Xiuzhi's generosity over there, Xu Yan really couldn't cry or laugh - if he ate in a high-end restaurant, Wen Xiuzhi said, "Everyone can order as you like, count it as mine", everyone will praise Director Wen for being really bold and generous; But at home KFC, what kind of big guy are you in Wen Xiuzhi? You're kidding, aren't you?
He smiled wryly, "Here, just eat whatever you want - uh, I want a glass of orange juice." β
Zhu Youxiang nodded: "Me too, I want a glass of orange juice." β
Hearing Zhu Youxiang's familiar words, Xu Yan couldn't help but think of the first meeting between himself and Zhu Youxiang was in a KFC fast food restaurant. He turned his head to look at Zhu Youxiang, but saw that the latter was also looking at him, the two met in their eyes, and at this moment, they both understood each other's eyes: "Just drink a drink to fool Wen Xiuzhi, and when you finish drinking, send him away, so that the two of them can leave an empty stomach and continue to look for food in the capital!" β
Wen Xiuzhi looked very sorry: "Won't it?" You two eat so little? You're not losing weight, are you? Lunch is a good one β why don't I add a burger to each of you? β
The so-called good eating is to add a hamburger - by this time, Xu Yan was really completely speechless about Wen Xiuzhi's "generosity", he forced a smile and said: "We just ate, and we are not hungry, Brother Wen, you eat yours, don't worry about our affairs." β
"In that case, then I'll order food."
Wen Xiuzhi went to the counter to order food, and then soon returned, and the tray in his hand was full of all kinds of food: burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, juice, egg tarts and desserts...... The tray full of food was in stark contrast to the lonely glass of juice in front of Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang.
Seeing Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang's surprised eyes, Wen Xiuzhi smiled, but he was not ashamed: "Recently, I have been under a lot of pressure, I have a lot of things, I am busy, and I am a little thin, and my wife told me to eat more." β
Xu Yan looked at Wen Xiuzhi with disdain: it was clearly his own greed, and he used the excuse of "his wife confessed", this guy is really shameless - strange, Wen Xiuzhi is a good drinker and lustful, and he eats a lot, but his figure is just not out of shape, and he has always been so slim, which is really unreasonable.
One of the advantages of eating fast food at KFC is that everyone can eat it very casually, and there are not so many cumbersome etiquette. Wen Xiuzhi was holding a bunch of food and nibbling on it, while Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang were slowly sucking the juice in the cup.
Extremely bored, Xu Yan looked at the street scene outside the shop window and found that opposite this KFC restaurant, there was a row of shops and shops, the most conspicuous of which was a KTV. Xu Yan glanced at it, the name of the KTV is "Jinshan Nightclub", the store is very magnificent, splendid, and the advertisements are about to reach the street in front of the door - Xu Yan knows that the cityscape renovation in the capital is very powerful, and the usual store pΓΉ even has to take care of the urban management of a stool out of the street, but now looking at the huge "Jinshan Nightclub" signboard abruptly lying in the air on the street but no one cares, Xu Yan faintly guessed that the owner of this nightclub should have a more powerful relationship.
"Brother Yan, what are you looking at?"
Wen Xiuzhi didn't know when he had stopped talking, his eyes were blazing, Xu Yan smiled: "Brother Wen, you actually ate all of them?" β
Wen Xiuzhi took a napkin and slowly wiped the greasy on his hands over there: "Well, I'm done." Brother Yan, what are you looking at over there? Is there anything special about that casino, you are so fascinated by it - hehe, you shouldn't be looking at the beautiful women in the advertisement, right? Be careful that Miss Zhu will be angry! β
Knowing that Wen Xiuzhi was joking, Xu Yan pointed to the billboard and said, "I really let Brother Wen guess it, I'm really looking at this billboard." I thought, who is the owner of this nightclub, so capable that he has put up all the billboards above the street, and the city management and industry and commerce don't care about them, it's really an eyesore to watch. β
Wen Xiuzhi wiped his mouth with a napkin, and he said lightly: "Since Brother Yan is looking at this card, it is an eyesore...... Maybe this store will be smashed later? β
Xu Yan smiled: "How is this kind of thing possible? Even if the chengguan really came, it is estimated that he would just ask the boss to take back the advertisement, how could he casually smash other people's stores? β
Wen Xiuzhi showed a sly smile, and he said lightly: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, maybe our urban management comrades are overworking enthusiastically?" β
Xu Yan was slightly stunned: Wen Xiuzhi's expression and words were very dark, as if he was referring to something - not only this sentence, but from the time he pulled himself to this KFC for dinner, Wen Xiuzhi's words and deeds revealed a strange taste.
Xu Yan was about to ask, but at this time, Wen Xiuzhi pointed to the outside of the shop window and said in a deep voice: "Look, our chengguan comrades are here!" β
Xu Yan said "ah", he looked out in the direction pointed out by Wen Xiuzhi, and sure enough, he saw seven or eight vans coming from the street, parked at the door of the nightclub, the door opened, and forty or fifty men jumped out of the car - Xu Yan noticed that Wen Xiuzhi kept saying that this was the chengguan, but there was no sign of a law enforcement car on the van, and the strong men who jumped out of the car were not wearing chengguan uniforms, they were dressed in civilian clothes, all with short hair, and their feet were wearing a style of sneakers. He is tough and capable, with a stick in his hand, and he doesn't look like a chengguan, but like a gang of underworld thugs. (To be continued......)
