"You mean there's something wrong with this man?" asked the maid. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only Xu Chen can understand the maid's words, she said that there is something wrong with a person, not that this person needs to be suspected of something, what is worth being wary of, but that this person is not good.

Xu Chen shook his head and said: "Even if there is a problem, it is also the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor back then, even if he is really as the rumors in the capital say, he is determined to win the army in the northeast, it can only show that he has the pride, self-confidence and ambition that a soldier should have, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch cannot be in a hurry, and we don't have to be in a hurry." ”

The maid said, "I heard that the queen is very unhappy. ”

Xu Chen said: "Don't forget, Your Majesty is also a student of the teacher, which is equivalent to saying that it is my senior brother, that is a really wise person, how can such a person really treat national affairs as a family matter, just take advantage of the queen's anger to warn some people." ”

The maid asked curiously, "Which ones?"

Because in fact she was not curious about these things, she opened her eyes wide at this time, and she made a curious appearance that seemed very deliberate and childish, so she was very cute.

So Xu Chen kissed her little cheek.

The maid was a little ashamed, but she didn't hide away.

She didn't dodge, not because she was flustered, but because she thought that she was kissed by Xu Chen, it was a matter of course, so you should kiss it.

Looking at the little girl's bright eyes, Xu Chen was a little flustered, and after coughing twice, he continued: "Naturally, it is to suppress General Xian...... No, it would be more accurate to say that His Majesty was warning his daughter not to put her hand too deep into the army. ”

"Why? Is Your Majesty going to pass on the throne to the Empress's son?"

The maid asked curiously. This time she was really curious, because Li Yu was one of her few friends in the capital, and because she knew that this matter had something to do with Xu Chen.

Xu Chen said: "I don't know, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us." ”

It doesn't matter, after all, it still matters, otherwise how could he think about these problems, just like the girls in the wide clothes pavilion in the mission more than ten miles away, it is also a problem that he needs to consider.

The Lu family didn't ask him to take care of those girls along the way, but with the relationship between him and Kuanyage, if something really happened, he couldn't care about it, in addition to the interaction between each other, more importantly, the Dushan Sect naturally had the responsibility to take care of the Kuanyi Pavilion - the woman named Xiaoxiao thirty years ago was the fiancée of Uncle Xiao, and she almost became their little aunt, the sister of the Lu family.

More than 20 years ago, the last time Kuanyi Pavilion performed abroad, was invited to participate in the Yu Lan Festival of the Rotten Ke Temple, and it was at that Yu Lan Festival that their little aunt Xiang Xiaoyu died, and now after more than 20 years, the Kuanyi Pavilion will appear again in the Rotten Ke Temple, how can Xu Chen not be vigilant?

At this moment, Xu Chen suddenly felt that someone was approaching, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, looking towards the big tree, only to see a black shadow sweeping towards this side like lightning.

With his eyesight, he could certainly see that the black shadow was the big dark horse, and what made him feel vigilant was what happened that made the big black horse appear so panicked.

You must know that except for the natural disaster more than ten years ago, the public security of the people of Chaoyang has always been good, Xu Chen is not worried about his safety, and even if there are rare bandits, he doesn't mind taking advantage of the fact that in addition to being a good person, he will make a name for the Shan Sect, even if it is a cultivator.

Win Guanhai first and then kill Dao Shi, cut down Liu Yiqing, until he unbelievably defeated Ximen Wang, and someone's strength has been confirmed countless times. Although Wang Jingluo is unlikely to be convinced, there is already a consensus in the current cultivation world that Xu Chen, the thirteenth gentleman of the Shan Sect, is the first person to really know his fate.

What's more, with the maid, the successor of the Great Divine Priest of Light, by his side, Xu Chen's life is in hand, and he even dares to fight head-on with the great cultivator of the Knowing Destiny Realm. Of course, those great cultivators who have advanced to the realm of knowing fate must be very clear about the identity and background of him and his maid, who will be idle enough to provoke the Dushan Sect and the Western Jin Divine Army at the same time.

The big black horse ran back to Xu Chen's side, leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust, constantly wheezing, and looking extremely panicked.

Xu Chen looked at the smoke and dust with a solemn expression.

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and I saw a shirtless man holding a pitchfork and rushing over.

"The thief is running away, see if I can't kill you!"

The matter was quickly explained, it turned out that the big black horse was walking around, smelling the aroma of the village in front of him, unable to control his mind, following the smell to run out of the window, poking his head into the window, stealing the farmer's food, and then being discovered by the farmer's owner, it caused this chase.

Xu Chen glared at the big black horse fiercely, thinking to himself that you are really a useless fool, young master, I make up for you with the yellow elf fruit every day, and I actually have to steal other people's food!

The big black horse lowered his head in shame, looking very honest, thinking silently in his heart, it was his fault that he didn't hold back and steal food, if he didn't behave in a mess, who knows how you would clean it up.

Xu Chen looked at the farmer and apologized with a wry smile.

The farmer was holding on to the pitchfork and holding his waist, and he was really tired and panting, and said, "This guy is really fucking fast, and he is really a good horse! No wonder I boiled a pot of porridge and was swallowed in one bite!"

Xu Chen heard that the big black horse stole a pot of porridge, and he felt even more embarrassed and lost to his hometown, and said with a wry smile: "It's really not good to be used to eating and being lazy." ”

When the farmer heard this, he shook his head in disapproval, and said, "I have never seen anything better than it in the cavalry battalion, not even the general's mount. ”

Chaoyang implements a three-year conscription system, in order to open up the need to open up the territory, the size of the army is not small, plus the people are martial, so many men have experience in the army, listening to this, knowing that this farmer originally retired from the army, Xu Chen was not surprised, took out the silver money from his arms and handed it over, and said: "This bento is the porridge money of the pot of porridge, and the pot must be dirty, and it is also counted in it." ”

The farmer waved his hand in disbelief and said, "Looking at this horse god horse through the window, I guess there should be a master, so I chased it over to see why I was missing this porridge money." ”

Xu Chen said with a smile: "If you don't miss this porridge money, why do you want to chase after it?"

The farmer said of course: "That's because you have a good ecological degree, if your attitude is a little sloppy, then I will be short not only of porridge money, but also of porridge wages." ”

This kind of naturalness is common in the Dushan Sect, and it is also common in the Tang people, Xu Chen likes this kind of naturalness very much, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will not lie to you." ”

The farmer looked at the black carriage and the maids in the maid's clothes, guessed that they were resting here for a while, and invited, "It's not convenient to talk here, go to my house and say." ”

Xu Chen is good at dealing with people, and he also likes this farmer's temperament, but he is still the indifferent young man in his bones, and he wants to refuse when he hears this.

Unexpectedly, the farmer insisted again and again, and said, "Since it is a long run, you must always have clean water, if you care, you can give me money when you leave." ”

Xu Chen still wanted to refuse.

The farmer looked at him and frowned and said, "I can see your appearance, and I know that you are also a person who has been in the barracks, and how to do things like such a mother-in-law." ”

Xu Chen looked at the perseverance between the farmer's eyebrows, and suddenly remembered Weicheng after a long absence, those soldiers in Weicheng, and the three sentences he left for General Ma before parting.

"Then go. He smiled and said, "But I still have to drink." ”

The farmer laughed and said, "Home-brewed grain wine, no matter how good it is, but it is enough." ”

The village is beautiful, with a dozen or so houses scattered under a large grassy slope with dozens of rows of grape trellises, and a small river with stone mills beside it.

The farmer's home is at the entrance of the village, the roof is covered with light gray grass, I don't know if it is because of the thick reason, it looks a little heavy, the wall color is very light earth gray, but the door is painted with red berry juice mixed with tree sap paint, plus the green grass in front of the house, the blue courtyard fence, the whole looks particularly bright.

The furnishings in the house are ordinary, and Xu Chen's eyes fed by the idyllic scenery can finally rest temporarily. The farmer beckoned them to sit down warmly, explained that his wife and children had gone to the forest behind the mountain to pick some wild fruits, and then brought out the dishes that his wife had prepared for him, and washed the pots of melons and fruits and a handful of wild vegetables by the well, and put the sauce bowl and wine jug on the table.

Xu Chen was not polite, just dipped in pickles and a bowl of pig's trotters, and drank the wine. He was a good drinker, but he drank very badly, and thinking that he would have to hurry later, he drank two bowls, and then handed the bowl to the maid.

The more the maid drank, the brighter her eyes became. The farmer's home-brewed Baogu wine cannot be stronger and more beautiful than Jiujiang double distilled, but as long as it is wine, it can make her happy. The farmer saw that this little girl in a maid's uniform was so good at drinking, and suddenly dreamed back to the time when he was in the camp, and excitedly fought with her.

A person who can defeat a maid in the wine ceremony has not appeared before, and will never appear in the future. Xu Chen can't do it, Chen Lujie can't do it, and the farmer naturally can't do it. It didn't take long for his dark cheeks to turn red, and his words grew heavier and his speech became a little slurred.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the small courtyard, followed by a rapid knock and urging.

Xu Chen had already listened to the movement, thinking that only the minister in the novel would have a casual meal, and then he met a villain who was not long-sighted, could he have such treatment now?

He didn't know that Chao Xiaoshu had encountered a break in the countryside of Beiyan, and he didn't understand that the identity of the guest secretary of the Tianshu Office and the honorary head of the secret guard plus Xuanwei's personal disciple was actually far higher than the so-called Qincha, but he always felt that this matter was a little too unreasonable, so he didn't move.

It was not his turn to move, and the farmer listened to the sound coming from outside the courtyard, stood up with a wine burp, motioned for Xu Chen to sit, pushed the door himself, and began to quarrel with those who knocked on the door.

"I didn't do anything? Last winter to repair the reservoir, who doesn't know that I Yang Erxi contributed the most? I am also willing to repair the public school in the township, the problem is that this paint money has no reason for me to cushion it." ”

"Yang Erxi, who let you make a cushion? Who let you make a cushion! You are just making excuses, just to earn a few more taels of silver, let me tell you, this is the price set by the county government!"

"Oh, the public school in our township is twice as big as that in other townships, so how much more paint money? The price set by the county government is not right, do you want me to lose my money?"

"It's really presumptuous to the extreme! Don't rely on you to be a veteran, I won't dare to clean you up! Carefully, I will sue the county government and let the county lord rectify you!"

"I went to Mr. Xie Lu of the public school to ask, and there is no such thing in Tang Lu! I am a veteran, I can have half of my work, you don't have enough money to give, don't think about me doing it!"

"I,, your grandma!"

"Me,, your grandmother!"

"I,, your grandmother's!"

"You dare to be disrespectful to Taizu! I'm going to the capital to sue the emperor!"

After a quarrel mixed with countless swear words, it ended boringly after all, and the angry Li Zheng outside the courtyard fence didn't know how many generations of ancestors Yang Erxi had scolded, but he never broke in.

Yang Erxi scolded and returned to the house, waved at Xu Chen and the maid and said, "Don't pay attention to these pickled things, let's continue to drink, wrong, I and this girl continue to drink." ”

Listening to this quarrel, Xu Chen probably guessed the reason for the conflict, and asked a few more questions at random. Yang Erxi explained: "Since it is a recruitment, at least enough money must be given, otherwise I will not be too lazy to go, and my own pigsty has not been brushed yet...... You don't have to worry about me, the law teacher in the public school found me the Tang law, I take advantage of it, don't talk about Lizheng, even if the county master comes, there is no way to say anything about me. ”

Xu Chen said: "Aren't you afraid that Li Zheng will come to the yin? If you really offend the county government, the government can find a crime casually, and you will be able to rectify your misconduct." ”

Yang Erxi drank a little high, laughed when he heard this, turned around and took out a well-maintained boxwood bow in the cabinet, patted his thick chest, and said proudly: "What is there to be afraid of? Who hasn't been a soldier for a few years?

Xu Chen shook his head with a smile.

There was no real injustice, and naturally there was no punishment of black-hearted officials, and then he was implicated in the background behind him, and finally set off a storm in the capital, which turned into the possibility of a struggle.

After drinking and eating, Xu Chen said goodbye to Yang Erxi, Yang Erxi is a straightforward person, satisfied with the wine and no longer deliberately kept guests, helped him fill the water bladder, and gave two melons, and said goodbye to each other.

The black carriage continued southward, with the sun increasing and slanting, walking on quiet roads, walking among picturesque rural villages and towns, where you could see wildflowers and many green rice paddies along the way.

Xu Chen sat by the window, looking at the fertile fields in the south of Chaoyang, thinking about the picture he had heard and seen in the farmer's house before, and thinking that he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to meet the farmer again in this life, he couldn't help but feel some emotion, and then understood why the Dushan Sect and the senior brother attached so much importance to Tang Lu.

"It is said that the Western Jin Dynasty is a country of God, in fact, I am really a country of God, the south is fertile, the wind and rain are smooth, there are few disasters, and then there are mountains as a congenital strategic barrier to the south...... Of course, none of this is important, the important thing is that this is the Dushan Sect, there is Tang Lu, and there are His Majesty and officials who really take Tang Lu seriously, and that farmer and even that Li Zheng can live so seriously. ”

He said: "There must be corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Chaoyang, and there are people with morally corrupt people like me, but as long as the vast majority of people live in such a serious way, then this fertile field is equivalent to being continuously watered with hard work, and it will always be fertile, which is a great thing." ”

The maid asked, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Chen thought for a while and said, "What I want to say is...... I suddenly had an urge to shed blood for this country, you know, I have always been afraid of this inexplicable sense of blood, because this kind of blood can easily make people die too quickly, so I admire those former sages when the country was founded. ”

Deep in the mountains of the Western Jin Dynasty, there is also a large area of gentle meadows, but the meadows here are different from those in the south of Chaoyang, there is no grape trellis on it, and there are no houses painted in various bright colors, only the grass that is completely consistent with the height and the majestic Taoist hall.

In the alchemy room at the back of the Dao Hall, a faint medicinal fragrance has been waving non-stop these days, and the quaint medicine pod has always been resting on the fire, Chen Lujie still has to go to the cave every day to serve those strange old Taoist priests, but he spends all the rest of his time on refining medicine.

Chen Lujie's method of refining medicine came from the Tianshu Shazi scroll, so naturally there would be no problems, but after refining for a few days, the medicinal fragrance leaking out of the ding became stronger and stronger, but it still did not succeed.

The practice exercises and methods of alchemy recorded in the sand scroll are all-encompassing, all-encompassing, and limited to the Daomen - the Zadi Pill is not the holy medicine of the Daomen, but the blood medicine of the Buddha.

Chen Lujie knew what the reason for the rarity of the Sitting Pill was. It's not because the masters of the Buddhist sect really have no ambition for cultivation, but because the raw materials needed for this taste of sitting on the pill are nearly exhausted, and this so-called heart and blood medicine really requires hard work.

The furnace that he has refined has not been able to come out of the peak, and what he is waiting for is the painstaking effort.

The blood required by the holy medicine of Buddhism cannot be the heart of a pig or a dog, let alone the heart of a wolf, but the blood of an ascetic monk who is truly calm in his state of mind, truly pure in breath, and willing to be martyred.

Such hard work is naturally difficult to find in the world, especially for the Buddha who pays attention to compassion and abstaining from killing, where is he willing to use the lives of his disciples to refine medicine, and the ascetic monks practice to the realm of willing martyrdom, but they must be heartbroken, how can they do this bloody method for the sake of the pill outside the body?

Because of these reasons, although this kind of pill is not as good as the Tongtian pill, but it is also very magical, it has never really appeared in Buddhism, even the legendary Hanging Temple, but when the Demon Sect was in its prime, it once captured two high-ranking monks who had recovered the country and refined two tripods.

With the passage of time, the Demon Sect withered, and the two Ding Sitting Pills had already been exhausted, if Chen Lujie refined this Ding Pill medicine, it would really bring a great shock to the cultivation world.

It's just that...... Where to find the ascetic monks with a calm mind and a pure breath? Chen Lujie's cultivation realm is so poor now, even if he finds it, how can he kill those monks to take his heart's work?

In the dimly lit room, the medicine pod slowly spewed out a mist with the fragrance of medicine, and a few wisps floated in front of his face. Chen Lujie's face loomed in the mist, and a very faint and complicated smile appeared in his gray pupils, as if he was laughing at himself and as if he was mocking those unfortunate people in the world.

He reached out and plucked the black peach blossom on his chest, then slowly took off the old Taoist robe on his body, and folded it calmly and meticulously on the ground next to the futon.

The skin of the naked body was unusually pale, just like the jade at the moment before the weathering, and there was a hole about the size of a fist in the chest, which ran through the body, and the wounds of the internal organs that were squeezed and petrified could be faintly seen, mottled and dirty, disgusting in color, and it looked extremely terrifying.

This is the hole on the snowy cliff of the wasteland, and he was shot out by Xu Chen with Yuan Thirteen arrows.

No one knows how Chen Lujie survived with such a serious injury.

White bones and wriggling internal organs could be faintly seen in the arrow hole, and a blood-red heart could be seen beating slowly in the depths to the left.

Chen Lujie walked to the medicine tripod and used his strong willpower to stop his hands from trembling, and then he held a small knife, poked into the arrow hole in his chest, and gently cut the surface of his heart with the blade.
