Chapter 34: You're All Sick
"Xue'er, I'll come for lunch, I'm very good at it" Sui Xiang finished cultivating from the Diyan Cave, and happened to be passing by here, looking at the game that Lin Xue'er was holding and said.
glanced at Lin Tao again, as if to say you know.
Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, he took Sui Xiang's hand and said, "Lunch, let's do it together."
Sui Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to pull it out, but she was reluctant to move, and moved symbolically.
Sui Qian's mouth opened into the shape of an egg, and Tuoba Ye also had a look like you kid.
And Sui Xiang didn't dare to look at their eyes, lowering her head like a child who had made a mistake.
"That, Sui Qian, follow me to deal with the prey!" Tuoba Ye didn't want to embarrass Lin Tao and Sui Xiang, so he quickly pulled these irrelevant people away.
Under the tree not far away, Cui Tingyan stood with his sword in his hand, looking at Lin Tao and Sui Xiang, there was a trace of decline in his eyes, but he was very well hidden.
"Boy, sad are you, have a drink with my old man?" There was an old man lying on the tree, it was Jiang Fan, still holding his gourd.
"Dean Jiang, you are here"
"I didn't peek at you, I came first" Jiang Fan drank wine, looked at the sky and said, "However, wine can solve the worries, don't you try it?" ”
"Thank you Dean Jiang, it's better for the disciple to be respectful" Cui Tingyan turned over the branch and sat beside Jiang Fan.
"Your master is the Silla Sword God Qi Hanging in the Sky"
"How does Dean Jiang know" Cui Tingyan's eyes shrank slightly, and he said nervously.
"Don't be nervous, I don't have a grudge against him, I haven't seen him since he went mad and killed a few heroes, but his sword is still in the past"
"My master has been hunted down by several great families since he killed those people, so I have never said to others that he is my master, how do you know?"
"Haha, I have had a relationship with him, and I have fought each other, your sword and your breath are in the same vein as him, and they are both from Silla, so it is naturally not difficult to guess, I also know that your father is Choi Yongjiu, the general of Silla, I am right."
"Dean Jiang really knows everything"
"Don't pat me on the back, let me ask you, what do you think of the Heroic Wind Empire" Jiang Fan asked Zhengse
"A big country, a thousand years old" Cui Tingyan thought for a while, thought of a more neutral evaluation and said.
"And what about Xin Luobi" Jiang Fan knew that Cui Tingyan had something to say, and asked.
"Silla is located in the eastern part of the continent, near the sea, not as good as the Xiongfeng Empire and fertile for thousands of miles, and the background is insufficient, it is difficult to compete with the Xiongfeng Empire"
"You kid, I don't like to talk when I look at Geng Zhi, but I'm also very slippery, I want to listen to the truth" Jiang Fan smiled dumbly, but he didn't expect that Cui Tingyan was still unwilling to say his true opinion in front of him.
Cui Tingyan couldn't understand this dean, but he still admired him very much, although he didn't seem to be a very toned person, but no matter what he did, he was convincing, especially in the matter of Lin Tao, he didn't hesitate to show his strength to help Lin Tao.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"The majestic old man is old, and Silla is in the prime of life"
"How to say"
Although it is conducive to the stability of the dynasty in some aspects, in the long run, this is the foundation for the demise of the dynasty."
"First, the scholars control the selection and appointment of talents, nepotism rather than meritocracy, as long as you obey me and be my retainer, I will let you get the right and let you display your talents, but those who are really talented will not be flattered. Over time, it will inevitably affect the overall situation of the entire country! ”
"Second, the scholars are deeply rooted, and it is easy to control the government and control the situation, and even more, it is not impossible to overthrow the emperor."
"Finished?" Jiang Fan nodded, and when he saw that Cui Tingyan stopped talking, he asked
"And Silla does not have a so-called family, only the official positions earned by their own real skills, and there is a special system for the selection of talents, so everyone in Silla is vibrant, because they can be respected, and only if they have real skills, they are not afraid of not being reused, and our king attaches great importance to talents, and he wants to recruit talents from all over the world to enter Silla."
"The world's talents, yes, which generation of Ming Jun doesn't want to be like this," Jiang Fan muttered.
"Okay, when are you kid leaving?"
"How do you know I'm leaving"
"Your heart is no longer here"
Cui Tingyan didn't speak, he knew that it was impossible for him and Sui Xiang to do so, and she was now extremely safe in Fulong Martial Academy, and she didn't need her own protection, and his mission was completed, and he could leave.
"Yes, instead of spending here, it is better to follow the army to the front line and make contributions"
Cui Tingyan also said helplessly.
"Then I wish you a good journey, master and apprentice, there is nothing to give you, you can drink two sips of this wine"
"Goo-du... Goo· ~Goodo···"
Cui Tingyan was not polite at all, he picked it up and drank it without the slightest scruples.
The next day, in front of Sui Xiang's door.
Cui Tingyan got up early in the morning, packed up the salute, and stood at Sui Xiang's door alone, not knowing whether to knock on the door and go in.
While he was tossing and turning, the door opened from within
"Huh? Senior Brother Cui, why are you here?"
"Princess, I have something to tell you"
"Senior Brother Cui, come in first, what the hell is going on" Sui Xiang asked suspiciously.
"I'm going back to Silla"
"Why, isn't it good here?"
"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and now I don't need to protect you anymore, the troops stationed in Silla to southern Xinjiang are estimated to set off on the demon battlefield soon, and killing the enemy on the battlefield has always been my dream."
"Okay, then I'll wish Brother Cui a successful start and success!" Sui Xiang said with a smile.
Cui Tingyan saw that He Sui Xiang did not have the slightest intention of retaining his departure, and his heart was even more lonely, but there was still a smile on his face.
At night, the wind is clear.
Cui Tingyan took the initiative to ask Lin Tao to drink, and the two of them sat on the top of Fulong Mountain with a wine jar, silent.
"Hey, I said Brother Cui, do you want to sit like this until dawn?"
Lin Tao glanced at Cui Tingyan with a teasing look in his eyes.
"You know what? I don't like you very much," Cui Tingyan said, staring at the rolling mountains in the moonlight in the distance.
"You asked me to come here for a drink in the middle of the night just to tell me you don't like me?"
Lin Tao pursed his lips and said helplessly:
"Then I can't help you, I'm so good, I've always been the object of jealousy in the eyes of my peers, so it's normal for you to dislike me"
"Heh~, shameless"
Cui Tingyan sneered and said.
"Xiang'er is handed over to you, take care of her, otherwise, I won't be able to spare you"
Cui Tingyan looked at Lin Tao with burning eyes and said very seriously.
"Cut, do you still need to say? My people, I will naturally take care of them. Lin Tao took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand and said.
"I heard you're going to the Demon Domain Battlefield?"
Lin Tao stared into the distance and remembered the days of southern Xinjiang back then.
"Yes, it is estimated that Silla will send troops soon, and I will go with the Silla army."
"You know what, I heard that you are leaving, I don't know why I have a trace of relaxation, hahaha"
Lin Tao smiled cheaply.
"It seems that the two of us are each other" Cui Tingyan was not angry, but agreed very much with Lin Tao's frankness.
"Who told you to follow my family Xiang'er all day long, like a bullshit plaster, I'm naturally happy when you're gone"
"I heard that you have been in the demon clan for eight years before, and I still admire you for this."
Cui Tingyan said an unprecedented sentence of appreciation for Lin Tao.
"What is there to admire, the fragrant girl dressing up as a man is even more admirable."
"So, that's also where the two of us got acquainted, there are some feelings, you don't understand" Lin Tao looked at Cui Tingyan and said seriously.
"yes, so I'm going to feel it"
"That's not where you experience life, it's a battlefield, it's a brutal killing world! If you slack off, you will die! ”
Lin Tao looked at Cui Tingyan and remembered the soldiers who died on the battlefield back then.
"So what, my generation's cultivation, isn't it just to make meritorious contributions, defend the territory and defend the territory, and be loyal to the king?"
Hearing this, Lin Tao was silent, he used to hear his father talk about state affairs, and this remark was sometimes mentioned, but since his father was killed, he has doubts about the so-called loyalty.
"My father was loyal and served his country, but in the end he ended up with a traitorous death, and sometimes, it is not as simple as you think"
"I have heard about General Lin, and even my king and father feel sorry for General Lin, and General Lin is indeed an admirable person." Cui Tingyan frowned and said, "However, this kind of thing can only happen in your Heroic Wind Empire, and in my Silla Empire, such a thing will never happen."
"I hope" Lin Tao didn't want to argue about anything, everything was meaningless, he felt that although Cui Tingyan was not such a lovely person, he was a rare honest gentleman.
"In the past few years, for some reason, I found that the demon clan is becoming more and more intelligent, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it has also begun to learn to use trap poisons, and I must let the military doctors prepare more pills to clear heat poison, my father's last battle was seriously injured because of the conspiracy, otherwise he would not have been framed to death by Chu Tiannan so easily"
"Moreover, I also suspect that there are human races among the demon clan to help!" Lin Tao stood up and glanced at Cui Tingyan, "I can only help you, maybe we can see you again in Southern Xinjiang, but if we don't go, then don't join forces with the heroic army of the front-line battalion, otherwise you will definitely become cannon fodder"
"I have thanked the Silla sergeants on behalf of my ancestors, and I still have some personal matters I want to find you" Cui Tingyan also stood up, looking at Lin Tao excitedly,
"What do you want to do, I'm not interested in men" Lin Tao looked at Cui Tingyan's naked eyes, and said with a sour feeling in his heart.
"What are you talking about, I'm going to fight with you!" Cui Tingyan also felt that his eyes were not quite right, and said embarrassedly, "I've always been curious about how high your cultivation is, I must try it before leaving."
"You're all sick, don't fight!" Lin Tao was furious and said impatiently.
