Chapter 80: The Reader's Habit
In the next half a month, the guards in Yangcheng increased significantly, and even the spirit officials in the Yangcheng Spirit Mansion began to go out frequently to check the identity of the demon clans in the city, and those demon clans that had not been registered and audited were all expelled from the city.
For a while, Yangcheng was quite lively.
However, these bustles have nothing to do with Luo Xiu, as the spirit officer of the Spirit Department, he doesn't need to meddle in such "small things", what they need to do is dangerous, such as taking care of the goblins and ghosts in the dungeon.
Let's be honest.
When Luo Xiu learned that the Jiuding Imitation Device was invalid, he was still a little panicked about it.
After all, there is no Jiuding weapon to suppress the dungeon, once those goblins and ghosts make a fuss, his small body can't stop the toss of the demons.
Now.
In the dungeon.
Jiao Sai was patrolling with Luo Xiu, he seemed to see that Luo Xiu was preoccupied, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother, do you want to go to Red Sleeves to have a glass of wine at night, there are a few new goblins recently, they are said to be good-looking, and their skills are excellent......"
After speaking, this guy didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Luo Xiu, and the meaning was obvious.
"Next time, there have been so many things in the Spirit Mansion recently, let's settle down."
When Luo Xiu heard this, he showed hesitation and declined, he felt that it was better for him to settle down this month, which is the same as the leader's inspection, everyone else is working hard, but you are cheating and cheating, if you are caught, the impact is not very good.
Some things even if they are pretending, you have to pretend.
"What can you delay with a glass of wine, not to mention that our mission for today has been completed, can it be that you really have an idea about that pigeon?"
Jiao Sai stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Luo Xiu's neck, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said.
"Meow~"
Qiqi was startled by Jiao Sai and jumped up, accompanied by the crisp sound of the bell, jumped on Luo Xiu's head, and shouted at Jiao Sai as if she was dissatisfied, she felt that Lord Luo Xiu was a bad learner, largely influenced by Jiao Sai, and knew that this would be the result, so she should have suggested that Luo Xiu join the Spiritual Department later.
But now it's undoubtedly too late...... But she selectively forgot about Luo Xiu and Yan Qinyu.
Your own family will always find reasons for your own family.
Seven is no exception.
"What does the little kitten know, your adult has been a little nervous recently, I will take him out for a walk, which is good for him."
Jiao Sai glanced up at the black cat Qiqi who was about to explode, and chuckled.
Then he lowered his head and continued to look at Luo Xiu.
"Let's go later, we have this little strength, if something really happens, we can't stop it, the sky will fall and there will be tall people on top, don't put too much pressure on yourself, how long have you been cultivating, and the future will still grow."
After speaking, Jiao Sai patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder.
Lao Jiao seems to have a lot of sense...... Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Then have a drink, but only drink, I have to go home in the evening." ”
"Brother, are you afraid of guilt?"
Jiao Sai laughed badly and quipped.
Luo Xiu smiled, but he didn't explain, he was a person who was afraid of guilt, but Qiqi was lying on his head, he didn't want to destroy his tall image in Qiqi's heart, at least he was different from Jiao Sai, he wouldn't be obsessed with women.
A good man should be ambitious in all directions, how can he be fascinated by the beauty.
"Your Excellency!"
Qiqi raised his soft cat's paws, patted Luo Xiu's head, and shouted softly, as if he didn't want to see Luo Xiu and Jiao Sai in the same stream.
Red sleeves move this kind of place, you know that it is not a good place when you hear the name, coupled with Jiao Sai's reputation in Lingfu, it is easy to think of where this place is, as Luo Xiu's escort goblin, she has to be responsible for Luo Xiu, and she can't watch Luo Xiu jump into the sea of suffering.
"Don't worry, you have a number, you will go to Senior Sister Ye's side for a while, and I will pick you up later."
Luo Xiu stretched out his hand to grab Qiqi, then hugged him into his arms and soothed him, and said comfortingly.
Qiqi blinked her ice-blue cat's eyes, and obediently stopped talking, she knew that she couldn't stop Luo Xiu's decision.
Soon.
The two of them finished their patrol mission today, returned to the central hall to report to Luan Peiyun, and then left the dungeon.
In this regard, Luan Peiyun did not stop it.
Because something is really going to happen, there is no difference between these two people being and not being there.
Bai Xue on the side was expressionless, cold like an ice cube, although the Pheasant King was killed by Lingfu, but Lu Qi did not know how to come back from the dead, she followed Lu Qi for nearly thirty years, and the relationship between the two sides was very deep, this matter could not be seen in a short time, it would take time.
This is also the reason why Shirayuki is required to stay in the dungeon.
……
As the sun sets, the brilliant fiery clouds stain half of the sky red, which is extremely charming.
Under the illumination of the setting sun, the Lingfu seemed to be dyed bright red.
"The sunset is so beautiful~"
Luo Xiu praised him, he has always been a very emotional person.
This may be the reason why he was more popular with girls in his previous life, and most of the time men who rely on their brothers to think about problems, women care more about a feeling and heartbeat.
When Jiao Sai heard this, he also looked at the sunset in the distance, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "You see too little, the sunset in Yangcheng has always been like this, if you see too much, you won't feel it, this is the same as men and women, time is a time, and the passion will slowly dissipate." ”
"What about Brother Jiao and Sister Hong?"
Luo Xiu looked at Jiao Sai and asked curiously, he could feel that the relationship between Jiao Sai and Sister Hong was very unusual.
"After the passion, I still have feelings for her, which you probably can't understand."
Jiao Sai was silent for a moment again, and in a rather emotional tone, he greeted the sunset and sighed softly, as if he was remembering his lost youth.
No, I can understand it, isn't it just a long-term relationship...... Luo Xiu muttered in his heart, but he was very sensible and did not interrupt Jiao Sai's pretense, men like to add drama to themselves at this time, how could he not be like this back then, in this situation, he even wanted to write a poem.
"Where are you going?"
At this moment, the sullen Jack actually walked over from the side, his dark face was serious, but his tone was a little questioning.
"Go to the Red Sleeves, are you going?"
Jiao Sai was pulled back to reality, and when he heard the words, he asked without the slightest disguise.
When Jack Tong heard this, he didn't want to think about it, and refused to say: "Don't go, I'm not interested in those things, I advise you not to go either, the female goblins in that place will only corrode our body and mind, paralyze our minds, and make me lose the will to chase the future, my monks should cultivate hard." ”
“?!”
Luo Xiu blinked, looking at Jack Tong a little confused, is this still the Brother Jie he knows?
Jiao Sai was not surprised, and asked coldly: "How is Little Green Sister's technique?" ”
"Great ......"
Tong Jack didn't want to answer, but as soon as he finished speaking, his face turned green, and a shy flush appeared, but his face was dark enough to be seen at all, but his skin was not thick enough, and Jiao Sai exposed his disguise, and immediately said angrily: "Hmph, I am not the same person as you." ”
After speaking, with an expression of shame for you, he strode into the distance.
"I've been playing for more than half a year, what are you pretending to be, Brother Luo, it's still hello, otherwise you can't find someone to drink at night."
Jiao Sai was a little desperate for Jack's performance, sighed lightly, and sighed with emotion.
"Ahem, Brother Jiao, we're just drinking, I'm not that kind of person."
Luo Xiu coughed and retorted, he is a family man, how can he be in the same stream as Jiao Sai, this is simply moral corruption.
"I understand, I understand!"
Jiao Sai urged angrily, talking about the sass, these young men in the team are more sassy than one another.
He's an old-timer who really has a hard time.
。
。
。
。
。
Just when the two young men went to drink together.
On the other side, in the city lord's mansion.
Chen Taishou and Guo Jiaoxi sat opposite each other in the study, and there was a chessboard in front of them, which was covered with black and white, entangled and fighting with each other.
"You're good at chess."
Chen Taishou stroked his beard and said with some surprise.
Guo Jiaoxi responded vigorously: "If you haven't made progress, won't you be killed by your old thing?" ”
Chen Taishou smiled and shook his head, "Playing chess is entertainment, why take it so seriously." ”
"Can you lose me once, then?"
Guo Jiaoxi looked up at Chen Taishou and asked rhetorically.
“…… Let's get down to business. ”
Chen Taishou directly changed the topic.
Old thing, the desire to win is still so strong...... Guo Jiaoxi secretly cursed in his heart, he had been playing chess with Mrs. Chen for almost thirty years, how could he not know what the other party's personality was.
"What is there to talk about, you don't know the recent situation, it's very quiet, even too quiet, it's been less than ten days since the end of Jiuding's weak period, I'm curious now, whether those guys can really sit still, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once lost, it may not be there again in the future."
Guo Jiaoxi sneered, and said in a slightly cold tone, this time he used the Jiuding Imitation Weapon, and it was clear that it was fishing to give the people in the dark a chance.
King Pheasant and King Catfish can only be counted as additional loot.
The real goal has not yet emerged.
"I'm worried right now that they're not taking the bait."
Chen Taishou took a deep breath, and said in a somewhat heavy tone, for the trap this time, he took a big risk, if the other party can really sit still, then Yang Cheng will really not be able to deal with this matter next, so he can only continue to press down the previous eucalyptus, just like those spirit officials left.
It may even be like this.
But how willing does this make the people of Yangcheng willing.
The realm of Confucianism has the ability to ask the heart, but this ability cannot solve the problem of blindness, Yangcheng Lingfu has thousands of disciples, how can he ask one by one, is it possible that even an old guy like Old Man Guo asks?
If you don't ask questions or ask questions, once this happens, it will inevitably affect the relationship between them.
"Wait, if they really don't show up, then use the stupidest method."
Guo Jiaoxi looked at Chen Taishou and said in a deep voice, the eucalyptus of the disappearance of the Imperial Spirit Officer is too wide, and he must give an explanation, otherwise the hearts of the disciples of the Yangcheng Lingfu will be scattered, which is not conducive to the future of Yangcheng.
How could the Yang City, which had been guarded by the predecessors for hundreds of years, decay in the hands of them and others.
"We'll talk about it then."
Chen Taishou fell behind, thought about it, and said again: "I want Lu Rong to take my place, what do you think?" ”
"No, you're not dead! Even if you die, it depends on the meaning of the above. ”
Guo Jiaoxi said calmly.
"Just in case, if I really have any accidents, let Lu Rong temporarily take my place, as for the meaning of His Majesty's side, I have already asked for instructions, as long as no one in the court intervenes, it is not a big problem."
Chen Taishou said unhurriedly, it seemed that this matter had already been thought through.
"They won't interfere, in this place of Yangcheng, those officials in the court may not be willing to come."
Guo Jiaoxi sneered, and seemed to be quite disdainful of those big officials in the capital, after all, for those people, coming here is equivalent to exile, compared to the Central Plains and the prosperity of the capital, the Northern Desert is too desolate, nothing.
"It's hard to say, the attitude towards the demon clan has always been the focus of discussion between the DPRK and China, if it weren't for Your Majesty's Shengming, it might have caused some incidents a long time ago."
Chen Taishou seemed to think of something and said slowly.
"I'm more worried about the prince's problem than that."
Guo Jiaoxi said concisely.
Today, His Majesty Heavenly Saint Emperor Li Yi has a total of sixteen children, six daughters have grown up, and the rest of the children have all died, including three sons, none of whom lived past the age of three.
"What's the point of thinking about that."
Chen Taishou frowned, and after a while, he said slowly.
Yangcheng is as good as Yangcheng, this place is far away from the capital, and it is naturally far away from the rights and wrongs of the capital.
"I'm just curious, Ye Lao, whether they have investigated anything, or if they did, they didn't interfere ......"
Guo Jiaoxi touched his beard and said in a low voice.
Since ancient times, the harem competition for favor is also quite terrible, although the Heavenly Saint Emperor is a benevolent monarch, but those women in the harem are not fuel-efficient lamps, these children who died early are difficult to say that they have nothing to do with them, but this matter can't find out anything at all, especially when it comes to the harem concubines and even the queen.
"You care so far."
The corners of Chen Taishou's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say.
"It's good to have fun when you have nothing to do."
Guo Jiaoxi said indifferently, as a monk, his status is transcendent, and the change of imperial power is just a big drama for them monks, as long as it does not affect the operation and situation of the great cadres, they will not rush to interfere.
This was a rule set at the beginning of the founding of the country, and monks were not allowed to interfere in the change of imperial power.
"Then why don't you look at that disciple of yours, how is he getting along with that princess of the moon?"
Chen Taishou asked with some curiosity.
“…… I don't know. ”
When Guo Jiaoxi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he replied that he didn't really want to admit that Luo Xiu was his disciple.
"Bring it over to me next time, the old man is quite curious about him."
Chen Taishou said with a smile.
Guo Jiaoxi said with some suspicion: "Curious about what? You old thing don't want to calculate anything, do you? ”
"How can the old man be that kind of person, you and I have been friends for decades, how can you doubt the old man so much, the old man can still bully a child."
Chen Taishou said dissatisfiedly.
"It's hard to say."
Guo Jiaoxi snorted coldly, full of suspicion.
Chen Taishou shook his head and continued: "The old man just wants to ask him if he is interested in reading, and it will not hurt him to read more. ”
"He's not a reading material, but he doesn't fall short of your readers' habits."
Guo Jiaoxi seemed to think of something and smiled.
“??”
Chen Taishou looked at Guo Jiaoxi with some puzzlement.
A fetish for reading people?
