Chapter 76: The Facts of the Year
"Actually, our senior brother and sister have just graduated from school, and they have never walked the rivers and lakes before, so they don't know much about the deeds of Senior Sheng. But I met a few people in the rivers and lakes before, and in their conversations, they all seemed to have a lot of criticism for their predecessors?"
Xiang Yong's question can be said to be very acute, but Sheng Du's eyelids drooped lazily, his expression and tone did not change, and he said flatly: "Jianghu people, I have been away from that circle for a long time, and I really miss it a little." Does anyone still remember the old man?"
Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he barely showed a smile: "Back then, the old man just led the police and the army to kill hundreds of Jianghu people, such a trivial matter, they still keep it in mind?"
Xiang Yong was too lazy to complain. Is this a trivial matter, you really don't have a little pressure in your heart?
The world is not the kind of super world with tens of billions of people in online fantasy novels, the territory of the Dashun Empire is vast and sparsely populated, with a land area of more than 20 million square kilometers and a population of only 100 million.
Among them, how many people can there be?
What is the concept of how you killed hundreds of charlatans?
After thinking about it, Xiang Yong replied: "We don't know what happened back then, and it's hard to say who was right and who was wrong. β
"Well," Sheng Du showed an approving look, "You are a very good young man, and you have a bit of the demeanor of Brother Beihe." In this world, too many people listen to the wind is the rain. I don't know anything, and I feel like I have the truth. β
Xiang Yong smiled and said: "When something happens, there are facts and truths. There is only one truth, but there can be many truths. The people involved in the incident have different positions and receive different information, and the truth is different in their eyes. What people see and hear is not necessarily the truth. β
The color of approval in Sheng Du's eyes was even stronger.
"Do you want to know what the facts of what happened back then?"
"No," Xiang Yong said, "no matter what the facts were back then, it has nothing to do with the purpose of our here. We are just here to visit Master's good friends, and you are friends with our Master, and that is the only fact that we value. β
Sheng Du didn't say anything for a long time, staring at Xiang Yong, as if he wanted to see through Xiang Yong.
He holds a pipe in his mouth, his fingers crossed and his two index fingers and thumb are pressed against each other, forming a pyramid.
Fan Xiaoyue silently thought that in the "body language psychology", people who like to make such gestures often have a strong desire for control and power, and are very aggressive, typical of alpha personality. Sheng is not the kind of indisputable old man he shows, he is still very strong inside.
After being silent for a long time, Sheng Du suddenly smiled, and his back straightened a lot.
Previously, his expression had been indifferent, and at most the corners of his mouth twitched. smiled at this moment, but the whole person seemed different, from a hunchbacked old man who was waiting for death to a majestic senior master.
"Brother Beihe's good apprentice!" he spat out a smoke ring faintly and sighed, "Why haven't I met such an excellent junior." Up to now, even if it is inconvenient to do something by yourself, I can't find the right person to entrust me. Hey, I've never been married, I've had no children or daughters, and I'm old, and I'm alone, and I have to take care of everything by myself. β
When the play came, Xiang Yong knew it, and took the hook with a smile, "Senior Sheng, with your friendship with our master, it is also appropriate for us to do any errands and chores." β
"Then what's so embarrassing, you're guests from afar, and I haven't entertained you yet. Sheng Du said hypocritically.
"Senior Sheng's words are out of sight. You regard us as your disciples, and you can tell us if you have something. β
Sheng Du pondered for a moment, put down his pipe, and said with a smile: "In this way, I do have some small things that I need someone I can trust to help me do." I don't know if you have time in the near future? β
Will that delay the time to do the main quest? Fan Xiaoyue became worried, but it was not good to interject rashly.
Xiang Yong didn't want to think about it, so he took the commission first and said: "No problem, we came out just to explore the rivers and lakes, increase our knowledge, and it is best to go far away." β
Sheng Du clapped his hands and smiled: "Refreshing!"
He didn't continue to say what he wanted to entrust Xiang Yong and the others to do, but got up and said: "I haven't even invited servants in this house, and there are usually no guests at home to visit, so I don't prepare tea or anything like that, because I don't usually drink these myself." Let's go, I'll invite you to a meal outside. β
Xiang Yong and others are naturally indispensable.
They followed Sheng Du out of the door, Sheng Du took a broad-brimmed hat belt at the door, led the way in front of him with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and said as he walked: "Because of my bad reputation, I also experienced many assassinations in the early years. Of course, it didn't hurt me, but my coachman, servant, and housekeeper died several times, and over time no one wanted to come to my house to do anything. I'm also happy to be idle, and it's okay to do the little things by myself, which is a lot of fun. β
"But it's a little inconvenient to go out, after the driver died, I sold the cloud-chasing beast and the cloud-chasing car, and I went out on foot. β
"The store I took you to is not very famous, but it has a very good reputation in high society. Its consumption is very high, and the people who come and go are the social elites, high-ranking government officials, university professors, wealthy aristocrats, and do not receive the low-level people at all. β
"There are a few special dishes that you must try, the old man is old, and he gradually does not know the taste, but he still thinks about those dishes, and he has to eat them every other day. β
Sheng Du was like an ordinary old man, chattering all the way.
After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived at the store he said.
It was a shop on the side of the street, with no signboard and an ordinary faΓ§ade, and it was not a restaurant at all from the outside, and the Imperial University was not far away.
When I walked in, I found that there was a hole inside.
The decoration style is not steampunk, but more retro, and the three walls are full of exotic flowers, rare birds and animals.
And go inside, there is a long corridor, the promenade is built on the water, the fish in the water are trolling, and the aquatic plants are fluttering.
Passing through the promenade, there are several small courtyards, each with a theme, and the plaques read: "Baicao Valley", "Langyuan Immortal", "Dongtian Blessed Land", "Wollongong" and the like.
The two welcome beauties stood at the end of the corridor, both around 20 years old, young and beautiful, smiling like flowers.
"Mr. Sheng, it's been a long time since I've seen you here, and I brought a friend today. Where would you like to eat?" one of them beckoned.
Sheng Du smiled faintly: "Cave heaven and blessed land." β
The girl turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
Entering the small courtyard with the plaque of "Cave Heaven and Blessed Land", the scene inside is certainly not the real fairy weather - and the fairy weather is also divided into many genre styles.
This is just a fairy scene imagined by mortals, simple and full of natural charm, rockeries, springs, and ancient houses contrast with each other.
