Chapter 5: Meeting
Chapter 5: Meeting
In the gloomy sky, Shen Luoyan woke up and found that it was already noon, so he hurriedly got up, simply tidied up his appearance, and immediately prepared to go out. As soon as I walked out of the bedroom, I smelled the smell of vegetables, and my heart was calm, and my anxious expression was soothed.
When she came to the living room, she found that not only was Jun Xiaoran sitting in the living room, but also a very familiar guest - Xu Shiji. At this moment, she was full of thoughts about how to explain to Jun Xiaoran, but when Jun Xiaoran's eyes came over, the nervousness and anxiety in his heart were immediately calmed, and a gentle voice that had not been heard for a long time sounded in her ears, and Shen Luoyan even had an urge to cry at this moment.
"I know that he is the guest you invited to help us, Xu Shiji, a famous hero in Wagangzhai."
Looking at Shen Luoyan, who was rarely so excited, Xu Shiji sighed softly, feeling a little worthless for Shen Luoyan in his heart, for such a man, he was so wronged by himself. But at the same time, he also understands that he may never have the opportunity to win Shen Luoyan's heart.
Restraining the complicated emotions in his heart, Xu Shiji nodded at Shen Luoyan and said softly: "Master Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm??" β
Shen Luoyan nodded, said softly that everything was fine, and then sat down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks that Jun Xiaoran had already prepared for her, and took a small bite of fried meat with green peppers, restoring the dignified gentleness and wisdom that Xu Shiji was very familiar with.
As the owner of this courtyard that is not luxurious but the environment is quiet and not vulgar, Jun Xiaoran naturally will not let Shen Luoyan, who has been labeled as a "woman of Jun Xiaoran", enliven the atmosphere in this situation where he doesn't know anything, but glanced at Xu Shiji very sincerely, and then looked at Shen Luoyan who had just woken up, and said softly: "There is nothing to hide, since I have invited the friend you invited to the table to eat, it is enough to prove his value to us." β
Accustomed to Jun Xiaoran's verbal logic, Shen Luoyan knew Jun Xiaoran's unfinished words very well: "Instead of putting his body in front of you." Jun Xiaoran's words have never been intimidating, and they basically use bloody facts to state a simple but shocking truth.
In a nutshell. Xu Shiji can be used as a friend for the time being. Comprehending the chill of this sentence from Jun Xiaoran's words, Shen Luoyan took a deep breath. Although he has always been indifferent to the pursuit of this one of the few men in Wagangzhai who can even be regarded as friends, she also does not want her own selfish actions to let this promising man silently explain here.
Getting Jun Xiaoran's affirmative answer is incomparably important to Shen Luoyan. Otherwise, once Jun Xiaoran confronted her former friend in the tone of an enemy, then she greeted this friend not with the wine glasses and chopsticks she had hoped for, but with a conspiracy to fight against the enemy.
Friend or foe. This is the simplest but most direct judgment of Jun Xiaoran's opponent under the complexity of elegance and cunning, quiet but violent.
Shen Luoyan looked very spineless in Xu Shiji's eyes, and let out a long sigh, a little relieved, at least this beautiful military advisor also took his safety seriously, but at the same time, he was a little angry and frustrated, and the proud Shen military advisor actually showed a compromised look in front of a man. Shen Luoyan, Shen Luoyan, how deep do you have a deep love for Jun Xiao?
Xu Shiji is quite a city government, all these emotions were not clearly revealed, and Shen Luoyan did not deliberately pay attention to Xu Shiji's expression. In Shen Luoyan's opinion, now she no longer has to do anything that she is sure of convincing Jun Xiaoran and Xu Shiji to join them, this matter has quietly reached an agreement between the two men while she is sleeping.
Shen Luoyan, who was in a very good mood, took the initiative to pour wine for each of the three, saying that he wanted to celebrate. Xu Shiji naturally did not refuse, he himself came for Shen Luoyan. Jun Xiaoran did not refuse this little woman who was wholeheartedly planning around his affairs, and he would naturally give this face, so this humble banquet was very harmonious.
At the wine table, Jun Xiaoran did not deliberately woo this person who was evaluated by Shen Luoyan as the best choice for strategy, wisdom, and martial arts. The distance between Xu Shiji, a reckless hero who has the opportunity to become a generation of famous generals, of course, did not deliberately cold Xu Shiji, it was plain and bland, casual and natural. Shen Luoyan was very enthusiastic about Xu Shiji. There is even a slight pleading in the speech. Jun Xiaoran drank silently, you said a word to me, and the two of them who answered each other but did not have any intimate words and behaviors did not notice that Jun Xiaoran's actions were as heavy as usual. The porcelain glass had two distinct handprint dents on it.
"No one is born a king, and no king can be smooth sailing forever. Proper compromise with fate is just for the next time a stronger posture appears in front of the behemoth of fate, high above, looking at the world. It is very obvious that Jun Xiaoran, who is in the current situation, although he is disgusted with his woman's pleading look to another man that symbolizes his incompetence, but he is not angry, and he knows very well that if Xu Shiji is not very important to him in this plan, with Shen Luoyan's arrogance, he will definitely not bow his head to others.
If a woman bows her head for herself, does she still have to maintain a pitiful pride for a woman who is willing to give up her dignity for herself? In Jun Xiaoran's opinion, if a man really does this, then this is like how shit is worthy of a woman who sacrificed for him.
Shen Luoyan, Jun Xiao, whose heart was densely covered with haze, also flashed a softness. "Shen Luoyan, maybe you have become my biggest flaw." In his heart, Jun Xiaoran muttered to himself.
After lunch, Shen Luoyan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and washed the dishes as usual, Xu Shiji had the intention of helping, but Jun Xiaoran sat quietly at the table, indifferent. "In the face of feelings, hope is an endless abyss!" Shen Luoyan, who understood the words that Jun Xiaoran once said casually, very quickly refused Xu Shiji's help, holding the dishes and chopsticks, and walked towards the back kitchen, washing the dishes and chopsticks like an ordinary woman.
Standing in front of the table in a daze, looking through the half-lifted gray curtain, looking at the back that was still elegant but no longer arrogant, Xu Shiji reluctantly turned around, looked at Jun Xiaoran, who was sitting at the table and looking at the pouring rain in front of the door, stunned, and said in an unprecedented tone: "I, Xu Shiji, can saddle the horse and back for you, but please be kind to the wild goose." β
"What does your Xu Shiji's willingness to saddle for me have to do with my attitude towards her? Xu Shiji, although you have the ability, don't think too much about your weight! Jun Xiaoran turned around and sneered, and then glanced at the red-clothed figure who was very comfortable no matter how she looked at it, and said softly: "She is my Jun Xiaoran's woman, and my Jun Xiaoran will naturally not treat her badly." β
"I hope you remember what you said today."
Threatened? Jun Xiaoran sneered in his heart, but he didn't make a provocation on the head, in Jun Xiaoran's opinion, this is an extremely naΓ―ve thing, not to mention why should I, Jun Xiaoran, pay so much attention to you Xu Shiji?
In the back kitchen, the sound of Shen Luoyan brushing the dishes slowed down significantly, the hands that were a little red and swollen because they had soaked in cold water cleaned the dishes and chopsticks vigorously, but there were tears left in the eyes that were like autumn water, she was never a woman who liked to cry, but at this moment she couldn't help crying, just because of one sentence: She is a woman who is dyed by my junxiao.
ββββββ
Everything is prioritized, and Xu Shiji never mixes his personal emotions with official affairs. In Wagangzhai, he never underestimated Wang Bodang's ability because he was disgusted with Wang Bodang's lustful character, and he never denied his military talent because of Shan Xiongxin's conceit, and it was precisely because of this that he could win the respect of Li Mi, Zhai Rang and Shen Luoyan.
Although Xu Shiji doesn't like Jun Xiaoran, since he has promised his most beloved woman, he will not break his promise. Whether it is Shen Luoyan's flying pigeon biography or the not-so-harmonious conversation with Jun Xiaoran, he already roughly knows the current situation that Jun Xiaoran is facing, but he doesn't know it very well.
didn't have time to engage in a verbal war with Jun Xiaoran, so he immediately got to the point: "Jun Xiaoran, how much of your current martial arts are left?" "The question is very straightforward and straightforward.
Jun Xiaoran didn't show any embarrassment, and replied very briefly: "In addition to the physique and internal strength practiced in the past, the martial arts moves that were practiced in the past have been forgotten. β
Xu Shiji frowned and said, "In other words, now you lack the experience of using moves and facing the enemy?" β
"Although this sentence is wrong, it is not entirely wrong, he does lack experience in the use of moves and facing the enemy, but neither is bad, at least it is more than enough to deal with me." Shen Luoyan, who came out of the kitchen, opened his mouth and said, Shen Luoyan seemed to be afraid that his words would not be clear, so he concluded: "That is, I am not as good as him in terms of martial arts!" β
Xu Shiji comprehended, nodded and said, "I will fight with him to see if the current Jun Xiaoran can be worthy of the beautiful military advisor on our Wagang Village." β
Jun Xiaoran didn't speak, he probably understood what Shen Luoyan meant, it should be Xu Shiji's martial arts refinement and subtle transformation in details, and shorter than his cultivation on top of internal strength, so he can only be stronger than Shen Luoyan. And now what he lacks is the transformation of his moves and combat experience, and Xu Shiji at this moment is indeed the best measure to test his martial arts.
And once he defeats Xu Shiji, he can use Xu Shiji as a benchmark to find an opponent suitable for fighting from Shen Luoyan's list, and then achieve the goal of restoring martial arts......
"Falling geese, falling geese, you are really well-intentioned!" It will take at least five or six days to get from Wagangzhai to this poor and remote Lulin Town, which means that before five or six days, Shen Luoyan had already begun to plan how to restore his cultivation for him.
