Chapter 42, Old Friend

After saying goodbye to the 'Taste Visit' checkout.

The taste is much better than that of previous years' restaurants, especially the vegetable dishes, which have a very fresh and fragrant flavor, Li Xuan asked, but it is a kind of beef and sheep dried into meat, and the remaining oil boiled into water is a popular way to eat in recent years.

It is the way of eating brought by the nomads outside the Great Qian.

In recent years, these nomads have had more exchanges with the cadres.

After all, it is not easy to preserve fresh meat in the grasslands further north.

"I don't know how these steppe barbarians came up with these ways to eat." Xiao Er sighed and said, "These small-brained barbarians, they have a little wisdom in dealing with these meat things. ”

Then Li Xuan asked.

Isn't this thing cheap?

Xiao Er said, of course, it must not be cheap.

After all, we have been chatting for so long.

Grab some expensive side dishes, not too much.

"Hahahaha! Look at what you said, this delicacy was given by the proprietress of the hostess. Xiao Er said with a smile: "The proprietress said that some people still remember the Treasure Medicine Pavilion twenty years ago, and they are happy." ”

"Then I'll laugh."

Li Xuan smiled.

......

In this Wangjing City, I took a look at it.

The city does seem to be in peace.

There are no martial arts people with knives either.

Even Li Xuan felt that this martial arts strongman with a sword was much less than back then, which also made the people in the city feel more comfortable living and working.

"Let's go and see this great national teacher."

I heard the storyteller say it before.

Great Qianguo Teacher, a close friend of the Venerable Master.

Xue Bailu.

"Whoa!" The giant panda was eager to try, and he didn't know if Xue Bailu would be able to catch him this time.

As for where to find this Xue Bailu.

Of course, Li Xuan also knew.

....

One hundred and seventeenth year of the Tianqian calendar.

Leng Riverside.

An old man dressed in coarse linen was fishing by the river.

There was a shabby-looking knot next to it, with only pots and pans, stoves, and fishing gear.

The old man was hunched up.

Relax and carry a fishing rod.

There are no swords on his body, and he doesn't even have any true qi reaction, but he has reached the feeling of returning to the basics, but the thin arms, let alone holding a knife, even if he picks up a fishing rod, he doesn't know if he can pick it up.

While the old man was fishing, another line slipped off the side, and a beautiful float with a hook into the water.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the angler next to him and smiled with relief.

"Ha, it's fishing, so fast!"

Li Xuanmeng pulled the fishing rod and caught a fat big fish weighing a pound.

Even Li Xuan looked at the fish he caught, and he was also slightly surprised.

"Huh, such a big fish." Li Xuan was also happy to see the fish he caught, and even a little surprised, he hadn't caught such a big fish for a long time.

I remember that when I first learned to fish, I caught such a big fish, and now I look back, but it may also be the pity of the novice fishing sky?

At this time, the rickety old man smiled.

"My old friend's fishing skills haven't lost a single point over the years."

"That's ....."

Li Xuan, who looks like a teenager.

Beside the short, thin old man.

There was no greeting to meet.

Naturally.

It's the feeling of an old friend for many years....

At this time, Xue Bailu saw the giant panda and also reached out to touch his belly.

This time the giant panda did not refuse, and lay down.

"Ouch, I used to tickle me every time I wanted to touch you." Xue Bailu glanced at the giant panda and said with a soft smile: "You are cooperating today." ”

"Whoa."

Let you touch so much nonsense!

Giant pandas are impatient....

But at this time.

Li Xuan looked at Xue Bailu and said.

"The old skin on your face can kill flies."

"That's how people are old, not like you, born with a master, with a lifespan of three hundred years...."Xue Bailu smiled: "But at my age, I can live until now, but it has taken a lot of effort...."

Li Xuan nodded.

Xue Bailu should be more than 100 years old now...

And he also used the Infinite Demon Knife that consumed lifeblood....

Later, Xue Bailu also said how he lived to this time.

His realm is infinitely close to innate, but ..... After all, I still couldn't get into that layer of pass.

So, Xue Bailu went the opposite way, replacing the operation of the failing organs with a huge amount of true qi, so that he could live with an aging body until now....

He no longer has the ability to wield a knife.

Or rather.

Only the ability to swing a knife, a knife to maintain his body, you can imagine the horror of that knife.

At this time, Xue Bailu said with a smile.

"Even if I only have the ability to swing a knife, that grassland Kehan will not have the courage to enter the territory of Daqian for half a step.... I stabbed with all my strength that was close to innateness, and Ann asked him how to stop it? It is precisely because I am alive that Wangjing has this peaceful world...... As long as the steppe khan has not broken through the innate nature, I am alive, and I am the Taiping monument of this great cadre. ”

"So, you are the protector of the great man, you deserve it..."

Li Xuan looked at Xue Bailu and smiled.

I am smiling on my face, but my heart is not easy....

Use true qi to replace the broken and aging internal organs to operate, dragging the withered and decaying body.

All that remains is the ability to swing a knife....

Whether it is for a person or for a swordsman, it is quite a heavy matter.

"Yes, the protector of Daqian, from children to adults, from martial arts people to ordinary people, are all admiring my dedication, the righteousness of the country, and the Yuan family even put my ancestral hall and my tablet into the clan of the Emperor Daqian..... In my life, I should have no regrets, hahaha! ”

Xue Bailu smiled happily.

It's even a little ....

Naughty?

Seem....

"But ah, what they don't know is..."

At this time.

Xue Bailu came up with another big fish.

A three-pound mackerel....

The joy of the fish filled Xue Bailu's face, and at this time Xue Bailu said: "Ouch, my fish can be caught bigger than you." ”

"You're the one who wins."

Li Xuan smiled: "Xue Bailu, your fishing skills are really good, this time you are better than me." ”

"Do you believe in whims, old friend...."

"Today, I came to fish by the Lengjiang River, but it was a whim.... Knowing that something good was going to happen, sure enough, something good happened...."

Xue Bailu glanced at Li Xuan and said with a smile.

"I've met you."

"It's a great thing indeed."

"Hmm...."

At this time.

Xue Bailu continued to laugh.

"Oh yes, that's the thing..... From top to bottom, the entire cadre feels that it is my dedication to the righteousness, but my dedication to the righteousness of the family and the country is already enough, and I have no regrets.... What they don't know is that I am dying like this, but not for the so-called great righteousness. ”

After the death of his wife and son, his son, and his grandson's horse leather shroud.

Xue Bailu was downplayed.

The responsibility in Daqian has ended, it has been too long, too tired, and the responsibility on his shoulders.

The reason why I forced myself to keep it.

Just know that good things will happen...

Right now.

Wait a minute.

"Old friend."

"Hmm...."

"Catch a fish with me."

"Isn't this with you?"
