Chapter 46: Who is the Jade-Faced Scholar?

In the old days, the swallow in front of Wang Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Fifteen years ago, a slender scholar stepped into the royal capital for the first time, staggered into a tavern, and found the innermost position and sat down.

The bartender glanced at the poor scholar in the corner, ignored it, and was about to turn around and leave after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the next table.

"Good wine, good food, entertain!" The scholar's breath was weak, but when he spoke, he was like a bead of words, sonorous and powerful.

The bartender turned around, squeezed a smile on his face, and bowed down to respond flatteringly: "Okay, okay, wait, guest officer!"

The scholar's face was pale, his eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at the street outside, the endless stream of pedestrians, the shouting hawkers, and the girl swaying the pink silk outside the attic, which couldn't help but make the scholar feel a little like a world away.

The streets stretch north and south, with rows of houses, alleys flanked by low civilian courtyards, the walls of which are lined with green creeper vines, and the occasional bird's nest skimming over the patchwork of blue-tiled eaves.

"Hey, guest officer, the food and drinks have already come up, please use it slowly!" the bartender leaned over and chuckled, and hurriedly withdrew after setting up the food and drinks.

In a short time, the setting sun shone into the corner of the tavern, and the afterglow sprinkled on the scholar's ragged clothes, reflecting a little desolation and misery.

"Sunshine...... It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful sunset!" The scholar stretched out his hand to touch the last ray of sunshine, as if touching a cherished object, gentle and delicate.

Boom~

The wooden door of the tavern was kicked open, and the broken wooden door was scattered all over the ground, and the diners at the main gate ran away, regardless of whether their stomachs were full or not.

"Who dares to be presumptuous here?" A man with a tiger's back came out of the inner room of the inn, and this person was the owner of the tavern, named Dai Hu.

Kicking the door was a middle-aged man with a dark vulture face, followed by a chubby young man.

All the diners looked up, and when they saw the people who came, they left the money for the meal on the case and fled with their heads in their hands.

"It turned out to be Brother Tu!" Dai Hu didn't dare to breathe when he saw this person, and lowered his head and clenched his fists to the middle-aged man who kicked the door and asked, "I don't know why Brother Tu went to the contemptible tavern today?"

The middle-aged man was not spoken, but the chubby young man looked around the tavern, as if looking for something, because most of them fled with lightning speed, so the poor scholar who remained in the corner was recognized by the young man at a glance.

"It's him, it's him who snatched my money bag!" The fat young man stretched out his hand and pointed at the scholar in the corner, raised his head and said to the middle-aged man with a grudge: "Big brother, you must be the master for me!"

The scholar continued to eat the meal in front of him, poured half a cup of wine that had just been filled in one gulp, and shook his head: "Little brother, I told you everything, I just borrowed this money, and I will definitely pay you back a lot in two days, why do you want to make such a fuss?"

"Heh, the person who wants to borrow money from me has not yet been born!" the fat young man shouted as he slapped the table in front of him.

The scholar slowly took some from the money bag, put it on the table, flipped the money bag in his hand again, threw it to the fat young man not far away, and said, "Little brother, these will pay for the wine and food first, and you will pay back the rest." ”

The fat young man held the money bag in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No, this is not enough, you still have more than half of what you squandered, how can you count it?"

"I borrowed this money bag myself, and I only ate some wine and food in this tavern, how can I squander most of it?" The scholar's face was filled with anger, it seemed that this guy was going to blackmail himself.

The middle-aged man pulled over the stool by himself, hugged his shoulders, and shouted proudly: "If you don't pay it off today, don't think about standing up and going out from here!"

As soon as the words fell, he saw the scholar's clenched fists, slowly stretched out, picked up the chopsticks next to him, ate by himself, lifted the wine jug, poured half a cup of wine, and drank it all again.

Seeing this, the fat young man on the side had an itchy throat, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, jumped like thunder, and threw the money bag in his hand.

The scholar was slightly sideways, dodged the money bag, let the broken money inside scatter on the ground, and continued to eat.

Rumble~

The middle-aged man slammed the table in front of him, stepped out, and the wooden planks on the ground also shattered due to the strong force, the sawdust flew, and the man punched the scholar, and the strong and powerful fist wind whirred, as if it could crack the weak scholar's muscles and bones.

"Wait!" a gentle voice echoed through the restaurant, "I'll pay back the money for me!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, but saw that the person who came was gentle and elegant, wearing a blue jade, purple and gold crown, a white-veined and black-faced brocade robe, and a delicate sword pinned to his waist, and the whole person exuded the breath of a superior person.

Dai Hu was shocked in his heart, but he still leaned down and knelt, the middle-aged man and the fat young man were also seeing the man, and hurriedly bowed and bowed, and for a while, there were scholars sitting in the corner of the tavern with an indifferent face, and they all bowed their heads.

"I'll wait to meet Shen Yuzheng!" everyone shouted in unison.

Shen Xi nodded, let everyone get up, looked at the fat young man, and asked softly, "How much did he borrow from you?"

"Hmm...... Not much, not much!" replied the fat young man with a bowed brow.

The middle-aged man clasped his hands into fists and said to Shen Xi: "I have to worry about Shen Yuzheng, these are all misunderstandings, and our brothers will not disturb you to eat here!" After speaking, he pulled the fat young man and walked out.

Seeing this scene, Dai Hu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, rubbed his palms, bowed down and said, "I don't know what Shen Yuzheng wants when he comes to the shop today?"

"Hey, my little girl, I miss you again for the wine-brewed Lantern Festival here!" Shen Xi also smiled helplessly, his face was full of love, as if an ordinary father was in a hurry to buy Lantern Festival for his daughter.

"Come on, Shen Yuzheng, you sit down first, wait a while, I will order the chef to make you a few immediately!" Dai Hu invited Shen Xi to sit down, and hurriedly went to the dining room.

At this time, the scholar also bowed down to Shen Xi, and said respectfully: "Xiao Sheng is here to thank Shen Yuzheng for his help!"

"Sir, you're not from the royal capital, are you?" Shen Xi looked at the scholar who was bowing down in front of him, his eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he pointed to the position in front of him: "Sit down and talk." ”

The scholar sat down in front of Shen Xi, nodded and said, "Xiao Sheng is indeed not a local, he came here to find a place to settle down!"

"In that case, if you don't mind, I still have a job as a bookmaker in my house. Shen Xi's eyes vaguely revealed expectation.

When the scholar heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Xiao Sheng has thanked Shen Yuzheng for his great kindness, and he will definitely do his best for your mansion!"

......

Since that year, in the master bedroom of the Shen Mansion, Shen Xi has a sad face, disperses the courtiers in the house, stares at the portrait of the woman hanging on the wall alone, and whispers: "Ling'er, you said that if I go to meet you, what should Han'er and Lingxuan do?"

The person in the painting is still smiling like a hibiscus, without powder, and the charm still exists. The eyes are clear and clear like water, and the slender fingers and jade skin are fragrant, like a fairy out of the dust frozen in the square inch picture scroll.

Suddenly, Shen Xi summoned the scholar into the room, made two cups of tea and placed them on the table.

"Sir, have you ever heard of a righteous man in the royal capital who is called a jade-faced scholar?" Shen Xi lowered his eyebrows and said while blowing the hot tea in the cup.

"I've heard of it!" The heat of the tea blocked the scholar's vision, raised his head and muttered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "I don't know why Shen Yuzheng asked about this person?"

"Then can you have Mr. Lao, help me introduce this jade-faced scholar?" Shen Xi raised his smiling eyes, put down the teacup, and asked with both hands clenched into fists.

"I've never met him, I'm afraid it's difficult to complete this task!" The scholar also looked directly at Shen Xi's gaze, shook his head, and then said again: "However, if Shen Yuzheng has something important to entrust, I can send a message to him at the request of a friend!"

Shen Xi didn't hide the embarrassment on his face anymore, his sad face was full of handsomeness, a few strands of white hair looked a little older in his temples, a man in the prime of life, Qingsi turned into white hair early and couldn't help but sigh.

"Then trouble sir, send this letter to the jade-faced scholar as soon as possible!" Shen Xi sighed and handed the scholar a letter in his arms.

The scholar took the letter, nodded, and wanted to leave with his fists clenched, but was stopped by Shen Xi.

"Sir, pack your bags and leave here as soon as possible!" In the scholar's inexplicable eyes, Shen Xi continued: "The Shen family is already in the twilight of the west, you better find another place!"

The scholar leaned down and knelt down, just about to speak, but was helped up, and remembered Shen Xi's voice in his ears: "Go and deliver this letter!"

"Yes......" The scholar kowtowed a few times, turned around and walked out of the house.

In a remote alley in Diyin Town, the scholar opened the letter, and the vigorous font was like a dragon and a phoenix, and he wrote gloomily:

"Sir, first of all, thank you for your contributions to the Shen family and the royal capital city over the years, the jade-faced scholar punished the traitors and eliminated the evil, cleared the threat for the Shen Mansion, and broke through the obstacles, which can be described as famous in the royal capital city, and even more terrifying those guys in the dark.

Mr. has been hiding this identity, and I also understand that you are thinking about the safety of my Shen Mansion, but in fact, I didn't tell Sir, when I first met you, I saw that Mr. is extraordinary, I'm afraid that even if I don't stop you that day, you can get out of the way, right?

Nowadays"

When Chenxing was young, he worshipped the righteous people who punished the evil and promoted the good, and people called these righteous people the messengers of light.

Therefore, Chenxing has learned the method of light yuan power since he was a child, but because there is no place for Chenxing in the Three Realms and Six Realms, fate forced him into a desperate situation, and finally stepped into the abyss of the Demon Dao, and his mind was destroyed, becoming a new demon venerable of a generation of demons, and it was also the killing god Chenxing who made the Three Realms tremble.

After meeting the bright moon, he gradually found himself, settled at the end of the world, and no longer cared about the entanglements of the Three Realms and Six Realms.

But the good times didn't last long, as an immortal in the heavenly realm, Jiaoyue, because of the interference of the family Yue clan, wanted to hold Jiaoyue hostage to destroy Chenxing, and soon Jiaoyue was killed.

Chenxing killed the heavenly realm in a rage, slaughtered the Moon Clan, and smashed the underworld, just to accompany Hongyan.
