Volume 1 Beidu University Chapter 19 Chiyang Castle (5)

His vision is really good, this private room is not only more than twice as large as the other private rooms, but also faces Chishui Lake in the east, with beautiful scenery.

At this time, you can see boats passing by on the lake, large and small, very lively.

"Every time I come to the Yang Crisp Festival, there will always be some famous ladies who rent a boat on Chishui Lake, they either look for it, or meet as soon as possible, in short, they want to confirm their future husbands here, so Chishui Lake at this time can also be called Mandarin Duck Lake!"

The boats on Chishui Lake are full of lanterns, and from time to time some men come and go in it, thinking that they are here to solve problems.

Shen Chen was eating side dishes, looking at the general's eyebrows with spring, and his feelings were rippling, it seemed that the general's spring had arrived.

"What, the daughter of Wang Xiucai's family you fancy is also in a boat on this lake?"

The general smiled embarrassedly and nodded wryly, if this action was made by a young girl, it would be very pleasing to the eye, but when a strong man of one meter and eight meters made this action, you will know how uncomfortable your stomach will be, how much you want to vomit!

"She, evil ...... What ship is she on? Shen Chen pressed back the desire to vomit and asked.

The general pointed in a direction embarrassedly again, it turned out that he had been paying attention to people. Shen Chen followed the general's finger and saw a slightly quiet place on the edge of the lively Chishui Lake, where a small boat floated quietly on it.

There was nothing extravagant about the boat, just a white lantern on the bow with the word "incense" written on it.

……

The general, who had always been bold, hesitated at this time, if it weren't for Shen Chen dragging him hard, it is estimated that he would still be in a daze looking at Wang Xiang'er's boat in the private room of the food restaurant.

"Shall we go like this? Don't you need to take some gifts, look at how I look at this outfit, will she like it? No, I'll have to go back and get ready, it's too hasty! ”

The general looked very cramped and uneasy, obviously he brought himself to Chishui Lake, but at this time he squirmed.

"Please, why are you doing so much? Like a big girl. I wonder if that Wang Xiang'er likes you or not. ”

"How is that possible?" The righteous words on the face of the general,

"The two of us are childhood sweethearts, we grew up together!"

"Hehe, it's a pity that Qingmei can't beat the sky!"

"Impossible! Obviously she asked me to come here to find her the day before yesterday, and she gave me a handkerchief, don't believe it! ”

The general took out a handkerchief from his arms, the handkerchief was pure white, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, the hand was a little green, and there was a line of words on it, which read: On the 23rd, the Chishui boat, meet you.

Hey, it seems that these two people have been eyebrows for more than one day, and this will be a private decision for life. Shen Chen was a little envious, thinking back then, no, I'm not a single dog these days! I am also a person who has a girlfriend, Shen Chen remembered Ouyang Wei's sassy and heroic appearance, although he said that he was about to return to the ranks of single nobles......

"Damn, what's the matter with your rippling look?"

The general interrupted Shen Chen's memories.

"Nothing. Anyway, since she has already asked you out, then you are still so hesitant to die?! ”

"I ......"

The general's originally bright eyes darkened,

"I'm just a gentleman, although I'm the son of a city lord, but I don't want to rely on my father! Her family is a scholarly family, and his father also looks down on me the most, she knows how to read and is courteous, and I don't know a few big characters. I ......"

Oh~, to put it bluntly, it's inferiority. Understand, I often see this situation from TV dramas and novels.

"Let me tell you, look, let's not say whether she likes you or not, you like her, right?"

"yes, I like it to death!"

"That's it, no matter whether she likes you or not, it's enough if you like her, how do you know if you don't try, and besides, she's already told you so obviously, hesitating! Go and tell her that you like her, as for the old man, let's talk about it later, chase the daughter-in-law first! ”

The general tightly grasped the mandarin duck handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Alright, I'll go now!"

"Hmmm! Come on, you will succeed! I wish you a beautiful woman as soon as possible! ”

With Shen Chen's encouragement, the general put the handkerchief back into his arms and walked towards the boat firmly.

The two of them passed by one building boat after another, and from time to time they could hear the coquettish laughter of the women inside. The singing on Chishui Lake continues, highlighting the prosperous scene of Chiyang City.

In a short time, the boat with the lantern with the word "incense" was close in front of him. At this time, after the general's footsteps paused, he hesitated again, turned around in three steps, and kept looking at Shen Chen, who was following far behind.

The small boat, which could have been walked in a few steps, made the general feel like he had walked out of a century. The general stood in front of the boat, looked at the lantern with the word "incense" hanging on the boat, and couldn't help but turn around and say to Shen Chen,

"Why don't we wait? Let's go back to the food restaurant to see how it goes, and come back later? ”

Shen Chen was very helpless, walked forward quickly, and kicked out according to the general's buttocks, the general couldn't react, staggered and fell to the boat, and before the general could get angry, Shen Chen's words broke the silence here.

"General Zheng Ming Zheng of Chiyang City is visiting, please Miss Wang come out to see you!"

The general did not care about anger, and hurriedly stabilized his body that was about to fall into the water, carefully arranged his clothes like tights, and tried to pretend to be personable.

There seemed to be a slight murmur from the boat, followed by a female voice.

"Please wait a moment, the young lady will come out to greet you immediately."

Soon, two women appeared in the boat, a woman dressed as a maid and a woman who looked a little sick.

The sick and weak woman is still tall, she wears a blue dress, which makes her temperament more tranquil, although the woman is not as beautiful as the sisters of the Yi family, but also has a sense of small jasper.

"Brother Ming, you're here."

The sick and weak woman spoke, and although her voice was small, it could not hide the joy in it.

"Well, I ...... I'm coming. You...... You okay. ”

The general stammered a little, which made the maids next to Wang Xiang'er despise him a little.

The maid walked off the boat with Wang Xiang'er in her arms, and came to the general, and said very unpleasantly,

"You idiot, I don't know how Miss could like such a boring person as you, God is really blind......"

"Qingqing......" Wang Xianger stopped Qingqing's complaint a little shyly.

"Okay, okay, I'm cheap for you, give it to you, take care of my young lady, otherwise I'll tell my master!"

Qingqing gently pushed Wang Xiang'er towards the general, and after making a threat, he quickly returned to the ship.

The general hurriedly caught Wang Xiang'er, who was pushed over by Qingqing, and only heard an "ah", and Wang Xiang'er fell directly on the general's body.

The general's face was immediately red, although he couldn't see how red it was, he hurriedly helped Wang Xiang'er up again, and said in a loud voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Wang Xiang'er was still a little shy, but when she saw that the general was even shyer than her, she couldn't help but sneer and called out softly, "Idiot"!

Shen Chen wanted to cover his head, how long has it been, he hasn't gotten to the point yet, and it seems that there is a tendency to get more and more biased, he couldn't help coughing.

When the two people on the opposite side heard this cough, they hurriedly separated, Wang Xiang'er's face was full of shame, and the general glared angrily at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen secretly said in his heart, don't blame me, I am also for your lifelong happiness, he said to the general,

"Hey, General, don't you want to say a word to Miss Xiang'er? That's about handkerchiefs. ”

The general said "ah", not understanding what Ye Chen said again, Wang Xiang'er's face turned even redder, she looked at the general, kicked him lightly, and asked,

"Hey, you, what do you want to say to me?"

The general turned his head and scratched his head in confusion. Shen Chen couldn't hold back his desire to cover his face anymore, and sure enough, this kind of person had almost all muscles in his head.

A man and a woman on the opposite side looked at each other, the man was tall and strong, and he wore a cyan Xiucai robe as a tights, his beard was thick, and his face was angular, but his face was full of doubts at this time.

The woman is tall and slender, like a bamboo pole compared to the man opposite. She was dressed in a blue dress, her face was blushing, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

The general was very confused, he didn't know what Shen Chen asked him to say, he knew that he saw a fire rising in the direction of the city wall in the distance.

The general's eyes were confused for a while, and then he hammered his head in pain, which frightened Wang Xiang'er and Shen Chen in the distance.

"What's wrong with you? If you don't want to say it, don't say it......" Wang Xiang'er obviously thought that it was what the general wanted to say to her that caused the current situation.

The general's hand suddenly stopped the movement of the hammer, and he frantically hugged Wang Xiang'er who was close in front of him,

"I like you, I've always liked you, I love you!"

Shen Chen stopped, although the general finally said the words in his heart, but at this time, the general seemed to be dozens of years old in an instant, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and his face was sad.

Wang Xiang'er was a little at a loss, but after hearing the general's confession, she quieted down again, and her hands that were not put down by the general's sudden embrace also covered the general's majestic back, and her head was gently placed on the general's shoulder.

"I like you too......"

Her voice is small, but it reveals a kind of relaxation, a kind of reassurance, a kind of firmness.

The fire was rising in the distance, and Shen Chen also saw the raging fire burning there, he looked at the general very anxiously, but the general didn't seem to let go of Wang Xiang'er, just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to spend his life here.

The crowd gradually panicked, and I don't know who shouted, "The beast tide is coming!" Suddenly, Chiyang City, which was originally comfortable and lively, was completely panicked.

There were pedestrians running around everywhere, and many people were shouting for help, because they knew that a small city like Chiyang City could resist ordinary alien beasts, but once they encountered a huge group of alien beasts, then Chiyang City had only one way to destroy.

Above the red water, all the building ships moved, and from time to time a few search boats collided and ignited a fire.

Among them, Shen Chen could also see some unclothed men and women wearing them. Of course, this is just a small episode, in this time of life and death, no matter how beautiful things are, they can't be enjoyed without life.

The general still didn't move, it seemed that their piece of heaven and earth did not exist in this space, there were only the two of them, Zheng Ming and Wang Xiang'er.

Shen Chen's anxious mood gradually calmed down, and his eyes returned to reason again.

He remembered the ancestral hall "Heroic Soul Ancestral Hall" he walked to when he got lost, where there were two spiritual seats, one was "Zheng Kai's Spiritual Position" and the other was "Zheng Ming's Spiritual Position".

Zheng Kai, it seems to be the name of the city lord...... Shen Chen vaguely remembered that Aunt Min seemed to have mentioned the name of the city lord, and Aunt Min had said that she would leave as soon as possible.

The people here seemed to be phantoms, existing in nothingness, real and vague, and he remembered the delicious Yangye chicken, the interesting monkey vendor, and the sudden light of the street full of red.

Everything here seems to be in memory, like a dream. Thinking of this, Shen Chen suddenly remembered that the Heroic Soul Temple was very new, and some people often went to wipe the spiritual position there, maybe there should be clues there.

Shen Chen left the two generals who were still hugging each other, he ran quickly towards the Heroic Soul Temple, the extremely poor sense of direction did not strike again, Shen Chen didn't care about anything else, and rushed towards the Heroic Soul Temple frantically. On the road, the pedestrians were in a hurry, and many of them looked sad, obviously not thinking that they could survive in the tide of beasts, and there were constantly the sound of beasts roaring outside the city, like an apocalyptic scene.

When I came to the Heroic Soul Temple, everything here is still the same, it is still so desolate, there is not a single pedestrian on the road, and this place seems to be forgotten by the world. He gently pushed open the door of the Heroic Soul Temple, dust fell from the top of the door, Shen Chen fanned the dust twice, and walked slowly towards the door.

Inside the door, there are still piles of leaves, a huge wordless tablet, maybe the wordless tablet at this time should not be called a wordless tablet, because there is a font on it,

"Spiritual Seat of Poplar City"
