Looking at Shen Qingmeng, who was budding from osmanthus flowers, he remembered a poem, and couldn't help but read: "There are eight trees in the south, and there are no four seasons of prosperity......"

Shen Qingmeng's voice, coupled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers emanating from her body, made Zhang Dingfeng feel that there was a cup of mellow wine in front of him, but he could only smell it and didn't dare to drink it, because this glass of wine might be poisonous.

As soon as Shen Qingmeng finished reading the first two lines of the poem, he heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, could anyone else come at this time? It's definitely him.

Shen Qingmeng simply tidied up her makeup while walking towards the courtyard gate, while Zhang Dingfeng hid in the corner the moment she turned around.

Taking the latch and opening the courtyard door, Shen Qingmeng first saw a box of snacks that had been lifted, and then Qiu Gubo's face with an expectant smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, the kind of smile that only couples have.

"I'm back." Shen Qingmeng's simple three words, but they contained a lot, and she naturally took the dim sum in Qiu Gubo's hand, "What is it?" ”

Qiu Gubo walked into the courtyard: "The corpse wind has been controlled, the matter of the Poseidon cult has been resolved, and Yongcheng has returned to its former peace, so the pastry shop under the West Gate has opened again." ”

"Oh." Shen Qingmeng just smiled, carried snacks, and walked into the osmanthus house with Qiu Gubo.

She placed the snack on the table, opened the lid, glanced at it, leaned over and sniffed, "Well—it's still as fragrant as before." ”

Qiu Gubo picked up a piece from the box: "Your favorite osmanthus cake, osmanthus is planted in the osmanthus garden, and osmanthus is eaten in the osmanthus house." ”

Shen Qingmeng reached out to take the piece in Qiu Gubo's hand, but Qiu Gubo deliberately took it away.

Shen Qingmeng said: "You give me snacks and don't let me eat them, what do you want to do?" ”

Qiu Gubo just smiled, laughing so softly, so happily.

"Oh, I understand, do you want to eat, or do you ......" Shen Qingmeng smiled, deliberately pretending not to understand, and picked up a piece from the box, "Do you want me to feed you?" ”

In the courtyard outside the house, Zhang Dingfeng stood in the shadow of the osmanthus tree and watched all this, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart. yes, who wouldn't want to have such a woman?

If she could belong to one person forever......

When Qiu Gubo opened his mouth and asked Shen Qingmeng to feed himself, Shen Qingmeng grabbed his wrist and mischievously stuffed the piece of pastry in his hand into his mouth.

Qiu Gubo was stunned for a moment, smiling stupidly with osmanthus cake in his mouth.

Shen Qingmeng also covered his mouth and smiled.

Outside the house, Zhang Dingfeng looked at the two of them who were laughing non-stop, but an indescribable strange smile appeared on his face, just like a hunter waiting for his prey to enter the trap.

A gust of wind blew, and the osmanthus branches swayed lightly with the wind, causing Zhang Dingfeng to raise his eyes to see.

She's right, why don't you bloom? It's out of season, where are the osmanthus flowers blooming in winter?

She still has half of the poem left to finish, I remember that it seems to be Fan Yun's "Song of Laurel Poems", what are the last two sentences?

Oh, by the way, I don't know the wind and frost, and I know the zero period.

●

Serpent's Heart Island, in the telegraph room of the Prison.

Le Zhengxian was translating the message, and Sun San was standing there pacing back and forth, looking at the room that he thought was full of treasures, although it looked messy on the surface, but he liked the messiness after being busy, because it meant that it played its due role.

Le Zhengxian got up and handed the translated message to Sun San: "Dashuai, Qiu Gubo from Yongcheng is calling, the epidemic has been completely controlled, and the Poseidon Cult is about to be resolved." ”

Sun San looked at the message and was a little surprised: "This Cai Qianqing is so powerful?" ”

"This man is a great talent, although he is not sociable and behaves strangely, but he is very talented, has a smart mind, never follows the rules in doing things, and is good at using tricks." Le Zhengxian paused when he said this, "The strangest thing is that although he hates the power of chaos and monsters, he makes a living by exorcizing demons in Shanghai on weekdays. ”

Sun San frowned and put down the message: "Exorcism? Isn't that a paradox? ”

Le Zhengxian said: "The marshal can know that after the establishment of the Republic of China, the whole country has played various banners to save the country, some advocate the wisdom of the people, education, science to save the country, as well as rich businessmen, who think that industry should save the country, so as to achieve wealth and prosperity and the people's strength, and there are also some people who even played the banner of spiritual science to save the country. ”

Sun San put down the telegram and was very puzzled: "Spirituality saves the country?" It's all made up by some charlatans to make money, right? ”

"No, these people are not some charlatans, most of them are knowledgeable people, and many of them have returned from abroad, and there are even celebrities in high society, the most famous of these people, the handsome must know." Le Zhengxian said and laughed.

Sun San hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Le Zhengxian said: "Wu Tingfang." ”

Sun San laughed: ", Wu Tingfang studied in the UK, became a doctor, and later became a lawyer, how could he engage in these things?" ”

Le Zhengxian explained: "When Wu Tingfang was ambassador to the United States, he happened to see soul photography in the United States, and he has been fascinated ever since. ”

Sun San thought for a while: "I have a little impression, I've heard people talk about it in Shanghai before, saying that foreigners can shoot ghosts with cameras, right?" ”

Le Zhengxian nodded: "That's right, but it's just a deception, as far as I know, it was only made by a special photographic method, but this deception surprised Dr. Wu Tingfang, and then he became very interested in the different cultures that he once scoffed at, and later wrote books such as "The Essence of the Ming Dao Society", which was intended to study the relationship between heterogeneity, religion, philosophy, and morality, the fate of the country was rushed. ”

Sun Sanchang sighed: "Some bitter and bitter literati who are full of patriotism like to talk nonsense and demagoguery when the national crisis is at hand. ”

Le Zhengxian said: "Dashuai, from ancient times to the present, saving the country and governing the country is inseparable from the literati, but they are also one of the culprits of the troubles, just like politicians, the people hate politicians, but they can't leave politicians, just like yin and yang, there are positive and negative, there are advantages and disadvantages." ”

Sun San nodded and motioned for Le Zhengxian to sit down: "I'm getting more and more interested in this Cai Qianqing, this person is the same as Tang Anshu, although he has the title of a gentleman, he is not famous, why is this?" ”

"People's fame is divided into two kinds, one is touted, the other is saved step by step by strength, Tang Anshu has not been out of the school for a long time, but because he saved Hu Shen from Yang Sen and became famous in the southwest generation, and previously unraveled the bureau that Hu Shen helped you lay out in his early years, these are all manifestations of strength. The same is true of Cai Qianqing, this person's life history is a mystery, and he only knows that he is a celebrity, but as for whose family it is, whether it was originally surnamed Cai or not, there is no way to find out. After Le Zhengxian sat down, he said in detail, "I only know that he likes the art of war and strategy, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Liutao", "Three Strategies", "Guiguzi", and "Hundred Battles" can not only be memorized backwards, but also used well, and can also be used in the so-called exorcism. ”

Sun San was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Le Zhengxian said: "I heard that Cai Qianqing did not hate superstition as much as he does now, he has always been able to clearly distinguish between different cultures, religions and superstitions, and then something seems to have happened, causing him to go to the extreme, firmly believing that in order to destroy evil, we must fight poison with poison, just like the only way to end the war is to win the war." ”

Sun San hurriedly asked, "What happened to make him like this?" ”

Le Zhengxian did not answer directly, but said: "Who is Cai Qianqing's master, there are different opinions on the rivers and lakes, and there are even rumors that he forced his master to commit suicide when he left the school, and his master is not a local appearance, just an ordinary iron-clad master. ”

The so-called iron-clad earth master, in the past, referred to a big mistake in the earth division association, but because he had made great contributions, although the merits were offset and the name of the earth master was retained, he had to live his life under the supervision and restriction of the earth master association, as if wearing a heavy iron coat. Later, the iron-clad earth master pointed out that he was originally a land master and relied on the skills of the earth master to survive, but he did not recognize the contradictions in his own behavior.

During Cai Qianqing's stay in Shanghai, he exposed many so-called supernatural incidents, and humiliated many so-called heterogeneous masters and high-class celebrities who saved the country in the name of spirituality, and suffered countless resentments, and was even assassinated many times, but he resolved them one by one.

After Sun San was silent for a while, he asked, "What is the "Art of War" that the Earth Physiognomy learned?" ”

"Dashuai, the "Art of War of the Auxiliary World" learned by the Earth Ministers faction was born from the "Guiguzi", which was created by the twenty-four directors of the Earth Geography Collection who founded the Earth Divisions Association, and is roughly divided into five gates, namely Survey, Bing, Jia, Quan, and He." Le Zhengxian recalled carefully, and wrote down one by one in the notebook next to him-

Among the five doors of the earth, the word measurement door, the art of learning and figuring, also known as the Su Qin technique, this technique is based on speculation, investigation, detective, solution, and lobbying, and what Tang Anshu learned is the Su Qin technique.

Bingzimen, the art of war, also known as Sun Bin's technique, focuses on the layout of the art of war, marching formation, etc., Cai Qianqing learned this technique.

Jia Zimen, the art of business training, also known as Fan Lishu, this technique specializes in the way of industrial, agricultural and commercial management,

The power of the word door, Xi Yu Mo Zhishu, also known as Su Xuanshu, with "sincerity, studiousness, ambition, wisdom and courage, indisputable" five tips as the key, specializing in officialdom power strategy.

And the word door, Xi Kuangbi's technique, also known as Xun Yushu, with "although the world is peaceful, forget the war will be tilted", "the public is the world is peaceful", "the world of the world", "the lord of the people, not a person" four sentences as the key, study the people, auxiliary world.

Sun San picked up the piece of paper written by Le Zhengxian, read it carefully twice, and said, "I basically understand, but the ink character of the Imperial Ink Art is a little ......."

Le Zhengxian said with a smile: "That ink word, that is, the meaning of greedy ink, ink also refers to corruption, corruption." ”

"Oh?" Sun San was a little curious, "What does this mean?" ”

Le Zhengxian just said: "Dashuai, from ancient times to the present, no matter which country, there must be officials and there must be greed, and the essence of the art of imperial ink is to use greed to fight corruption, and the officialdom is the best strategy." ”

Sun San nodded: "The last one, why do you want to study Xiangren and Fushi, instead of specializing?" ”

Le Zhengxian explained: "As far as I know, the last course in the "Art of War" has not been studied so far, because although the truth is simple, it is too difficult to do, after all, no one is perfect. ”

Sun San nodded: "The only thing I'm curious about now is, why is Cai Qianqing called a one-eyed flower fox, and why did it become so extreme in the first place?" ”

Le Zhengxian hesitated for a while, and said, "I heard that it was because of a woman." ”

Sun San was surprised: "Woman? ”
