Chapter 402: Old Country and Old Friends (Part 1) [Two in One]


    Maybe, maybe, probably...


    Mr. Chu is really different from usual...


    Before arriving at Yonggu Pass, Lu Jue did not relieve Xu Quan''s doubts at all, and even felt that this young man was even more noisy than Xian Yu Jian - are all young men so slandered? But after arriving at Yonggu Pass...


    Lu Jue looked at Chu Yao, whose aura suddenly changed, and whispered to Xu Quan when everyone was not paying attention.


    “…Wen Shi, you are not alone.”


    Xu Quan''s heart and eyes were filled with the majestic and steepness of Yonggu Pass. How could he still remember the complaints he had two or three days ago?


    When I suddenly heard this, my eyes were confused.


    He asked: "What''s not a person?"


    Lu Jue said, "Mr. Gongcao seems to be here to collect debts."


    Look at Mr. Chu Yao’s arrogant and murderous back! Even Yonggu Pass, one of the three dangerous passes in the Northwest Continent, could not suppress his momentum, and even set off his momentum! Lu Jue had no doubt that if there were enemies invisible blocking the way ahead, Mr. Chu Yao would have unsheathed his sword! Kill one person in ten steps and keep a thousand miles away!


    Xu Quan was speechless: "???"


    Is Brother Lu Shousheng''s reaction so slow?


    He swallowed the complaints silently.


    He said: "We will not lose to the formation. Gongcao probably wants to be stronger and give the garrison a strong momentum!"


    Chu Yao was originally He Yin Gongcao, and was transferred to Longwu County by Shen Tang. He was still in this position, and the same was true for others, except that the prefix changed from "He Yin" to "Longwu".


    This time, the lord is on his mission, and his momentum cannot be lost!


    Lu Jue looked at Chu Yao''s back and then looked at Xu Quan.


    He always feels that it is not as simple as "losing but not losing", but there is no better explanation now. He blinks and accepts Xu Quan''s reason. After thinking about it, Lu Jue turned into half a pair of martial armor, holding a machete in his hand, walking eight outside, one meter away!


    Xu Quan saw it and followed suit.


    One left and one right guard, a combination of evil spirits and evil spirits.


    Chu Yao, who felt the martial arts fluctuation behind him, said: “…”


    Tightened messenger: "..."


    This, is this really here to fight? ? ?


    Fortunately, except for these two, the other soldiers did not move, and the messenger''s tense nerves gradually relaxed, but he still did not forget to send a letter to the chief clerk and the others in his heart, be on guard!


    In short, the group maintained such a strange atmosphere and was introduced to the Yongguguan military camp. The soldiers at the sentry tower received the news and had already come to report in advance. The messenger welcomed Chu Yao and his men into the tent of the guests and ordered people to bring hot tea.


    Chu Yao''s attention is not here.


    He asked the messenger: "I just saw the flag on the city wall, with strong handwriting, tall and straight, and quite elegant. I think it was not a masterpiece, and it was always close. I wonder who mentioned it? I have loved this in my life and I am happy as soon as I see it."


    The messenger was quite proud when he heard this.


    "The words on the flag? That was written by the chief clerk in the army."


    Chu Yao asked again: "Master''s account? Don''t you know the surname of respect?"


    The messenger said: "The chief clerk''s surname is Yu."


    Chu Yao said "Oh".


    There is no expectation or joy of the calligraphy master who is about to see it, but there are more complex emotions in my eyes that Lu Jue and others cannot understand. These emotions rendered Chu Yao''s eyes even deeper, as if they could swallow all the light.


    He asked again: "The chief general''s surname is ''Chu''?"


    The messenger nodded: "Yes."


    I wondered about this question as I asked it knowingly.


    Isn’t the “Chu” on the flag obvious?


    Chu Yao said lightly again.


    He picked up the tea water with white mist and took a sip, then closed his eyes and rested, as if he was ready to wait for a long time. The result was just as he expected. Several people were left in the camp and waited for more than an hour, which made Lu Jue and Xu Quan feel angry.


    The messenger had to smile and kept ordering people to come in and add tea. Pot after pot, it was like adding fuel to the fire.


    Lu Jue can still hold back and speak out.


    Xu Quan is not a patient person.


    He is the precious cousin of the head of the Xu family.


    Even if you don’t come out to work hard, you can be a rich **** in your life, and you won’t have to worry about food and drink.


    He said, "This is called hospitality?"


    The right hand has been put on the hilt of the waist and the eyes are wide open.


    Although the blade was not unsheathed, it revealed a trace of the murderous aura of a brave warrior, which was enough to make the messenger sweat.


    The messenger had to rack his brains to find excuses.


    "Young general, please calm down. It''s not that we are negligent, but that the ten black horse bandits have been rampant recently. They often take advantage of the insufficient patrol force to dig through the city walls and smuggle the pass. In order to protect the common people in the pass, the generals and the others will go out to patrol from time to time..."


    "Oh? Take it seriously?"


    The messenger nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this time it should be a coincidence. The general and the others went out to inspect again. In the past, it took two or three hours to come back."


    His words are not considered lying.


    However, as a guard, his own general rarely leaves and needs to stay in Yonggu Pass for a long time to prevent Shiwu from gathering troops to attack suddenly. Small things like patrolling the city walls and catching horses and bandits are usually handed over to the soldiers and generals below.


    Although the messenger didn''t know why the guards didn''t come, he guessed a few points - probably he was deliberately leaving the people out, trying to sharpen the momentum of the group of people and give them a warning - but he didn''t know how long he would have to leave the people alone, so he could only talk about it for a long time.


    Xu Quan hummed heavily.


    Obviously, I didn’t believe the messenger’s nonsense.


    But he couldn''t make any mistakes on the surface, so he could only endure it and curse himself in his heart.


    The only one present was not in a hurry—


    It’s Chu Yao.


    Not only did he not worry, he also asked someone to continue to continue tea.


    The messenger secretly observed his behavior and thought that this person was very calm. As he watched, he felt inexplicably that Chu Yao''s skills in making tea looked very familiar, and even some small movements were very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...


    Chu Yao noticed the envoy''s thoughtful gaze.


    He smiled and said, "What''s wrong?"


    The messenger said, "Sir, I''m so good at cooking tea."


    In fact, he couldn''t see any tricks. I just think Chu Yao''s movements are very ornamental, and it gives people the feeling of "the tea this guy makes is definitely very expensive". Just praise with your eyes open, but people like to listen to good things anyway.


    Xu Quan''s attention was also attracted.


    Only Lu absolutely has no interest in this.


    Isn’t it just throwing some green leaves into the hot water?


    What are the tricks to talk about?


    Compared to this strange way of drinking, he liked the tea his wife had cooked for him in her boudoir, and that thing could also be said to be tea porridge. Any colorful material can be thrown in.


    The taste is fragrant and you will be full after two pots.


    Not like Mr. Chu likes to drink leaf tea.


    "Tea porridge" is the authentic "tea"!


    Xu Quan said: "This kind of tea art is rare."


    The most popular thing at the moment is the "tea porridge" mentioned by Lu Jue, such as onion, ginger, garlic, orange peel, dogwood, etc. The richer the family, the more ingredients they add. Fried tea and tea are generally popular among small countries or common people, which is probably related to the relatively simple acquisition of the ingredients.


    Xu Quan drank more "tea porridge"...


    Emmm…


    Actually, I don’t like both teas.


    He still likes to drink.


    Tea, that''s what his cousin likes, who always plots against others. A brave warrior and a strong liquor are the perfect match! But I have to say that watching Mr. make tea is a pleasure, as if even his anxiety can be relieved.


    "I learned in my childhood, but I haven''t practiced it for many years, and I''ve become much more unfamiliar." Chu Yao was clearly smiling, but when he said that when he said the word "shaoshi", his eyes seemed to have become two or three more times colder.


    The messenger suddenly remembered.


    He smiled and said, "No, no, no, how can you be considered unfamiliar? In my opinion, the sir and the chief clerk are all the same!"


    Chu Yao''s smile on the corner of his lips was a little stronger.


    Xu Quan noticed the messenger''s words, but he didn''t expect that the chief clerk whom he had never met had overlapped with his own Mr. Gongcao so much. If the other party hadn''t deliberately ignored them and left them alone, Xu Quan''s favorability towards the chief clerk would have been higher.


    "Take it serious?"


    The messenger smiled and said, "Of course it''s true."


    In order to take care of the chief clerk''s hobby, several cold-resistant tea trees were specially planted near the military camp. Although the tea brewed is bitter, the chief clerk is just a bite, which is a treasure for the tea tree. How far has the baby reached?


    At first, those tea trees were not suitable for the environment of Yongguguan. The chief clerk was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling. Accidentally, a group of horse bandits hit the gun and were caught and slaughtered, making them into human fertilizer to nourish the soil near the tea trees. The tree actually came alive!


    Since then—


    Some veterans like to use this story to intimidate rookies, such as "If you are not active in training, you will be able to make a fat man for the chief clerk''s tea tree", and they are also compiled with great significance. A group of uninformed novices thought that the chief clerk was relying on the fat tea tree to maintain his beauty.


    Xu Quan said: "He is also a elegant person."


    An elegant man raised by the iron blood pass?


    He was somewhat expectant of that person.


    The chief clerk who was expected by Xu Quan was playing games with their chief general at the moment. The two are of equal strength. The chief clerk is good at planning and the chief general is good at taking offense as defense. However, the latter''s chess skills were taught by the former, and after all, it was a very bad move. The main general had to vote and admit defeat. He smiled helplessly: "If you can''t go, you can''t go, it''s better to come the battlefield in the sand table..."


    The so-called "sand table battlefield" is a "game game" that can only be played by literary and military courage - gathering the power of both parties to the game to build a relatively stable "different space" created by literary and military/military Qi. Both sides lead one army and defend one city here.


    The scene was grand and exciting.


    It’s just that one literature and one martial arts cannot survive together.


    →_→


    It is equivalent to two servers, and the data is not interoperable.


    Simply put, the channels are different.


    He wanted to play the "sand table battlefield" and he only found his subordinates to play, but he could only find other literary scholars to play.


    The chief clerk glanced at the sun.


    "Will that group of people stay for two hours?"


    The main general said, "It''s almost the same."


    Chief Regiment: "It''s time to go and have a look."


    The chief general did not want to see the troops of the new county magistrate of Longwu County, so he sent the chief clerk to represent him. He was so lazy.


    The chief clerk had to go there alone.


    On the road in the past, he secretly guessed that Chu Yao and his group had been left with their minds for two hours. This was absolutely stingy. He was in a state of being emotionally unstable. He could take the opportunity to use the way of a scholar... Just as he was thinking, he saw the messenger running out of the camp to breathe.


    "Why don''t you stay with me?"


    The messenger said with a bitter face: "I''m afraid I''ll be chopped."


    The chief clerk smiled and said, "Is the person coming so fierce?"


    The messenger thought for a while and said, "If it is fierce, only the two young warriors can''t hold back and wish they could show their wealth and suppress others. This is just a fierce outside. However, that Gongcao is not simple, and he always feels uncomfortable when he sits beside him."


    "What a discomfort?"


    The messenger is honest: "It seems like you are being watched by the chief clerk. If you don''t stare at me for a moment, you will be arrested to be a fat man in the next breath."


    The chief clerk was amused by his confidant''s words.


    "Then, I want to meet this person."


    The messenger seemed to be following the chief clerk.


    Result-The momentum of his chief clerk came to an abrupt end at the moment when he lifted the heavy curtain! Very abrupt!


    It seemed as if someone had acupuncture point, and the muscles in my body were stiff and fixed, and I could not move at all!


    The messenger wondered, what happened?


    I was numb all over by the sunny and drought thunder?


    At this time, the Gongcao surnamed Chu came from the tent and successfully shouted the chief clerk who was trying to retreat with his right foot: "What''s wrong? You don''t dare to come in? Yu Shizhong might as well give it a try!"


    The messenger was confused: "???"


    Xu Quan in the tent was confused: "???"


    Lu Jue in the tent wondered: "???"


    The messenger could not see the expression of the chief clerk in front of him, but Lu Jue and Xu Quan in the tent looked real. The chief clerk''s face turned pale in an instant. When his eyes fell on Chu Yao''s body in the tent, his pupils trembled and his brows twitched.


    Just when they couldn''t figure out what happened, Mr. Chu Yao, who had just cooked tea elegantly, drew his sword and unsheathed it.


    When the messenger heard the movement, he didn''t care about what happened and hurried forward to protect his chief clerk.


    Lu Ju and the other two also made moves.


    Three people confronted two people.


    The atmosphere inside and outside the tent is subtle and solemn.


    The chief clerk and Chu Yao''s eyes crossed the guards blocking their bodies and met in the void. It seemed silent but there was a thunder explosion. This was clearly a sign that the two of them competed with each other''s literary heart. Are you really going to fight? But, the result is not.


    The chief clerk opened the messenger and stepped forward, his eyes falling on Chu Yao''s waist: "When will your Wenxin return?"


    As we all know, Wen Xin, a scholar who has been punished by the death penalty for destroying the palace, had only one way to regain Wen Xin. I remember that Chu Yao came here as the new county magistrate, and the new county magistrate was the lackey of the king Zheng Qiao.


    so-


    Is Chu Yao loyal to Zheng Qiao now?


    The chief clerk''s face was particularly wonderful.


    Chu Yao said: "Is this important?"


    The chief clerk recalled the momentum of his literary heart that had completely suppressed him in his momentum, and he brewed countless mixed content in his heart, but none of them was suitable for saying it. He exhaled a breath of turbid air.


    "I never thought... the person who came would be you!"


    If you know—


    He took a patrol mission to go to the city cave for a night out today.


    Facing Chu Yao''s work, he will leave it to the main general.


    If the education permits, the chief clerk is already cursing his mother. Seeing the reactions of the two, Lu Jue just wrote his curiosity in his heart and Xu Quan asked directly: "Mr. Gongcao, are you... old acquaintances with this chief clerk? Do you know each other?"


    Chief Recorder: “…Haha.”


    More than just knowing each other.


    This TN is a sinful debt, and Chu Yao is the creditor.


    Xu·Curious Baby·Quan asked again: "Why did Mr. Gongcao call this Yu Zhuan Zhu...Yu Shizhong?"


    Although the position of Shizhong has different real power and different status in different countries, they are all serious royal officials and qualified to discuss the kind. Could the chief clerk in front of him be the former servant of Xin Kingdom?


    He has no impression.


    There seems to be no Shizhong in the royal court of Xin Kingdom’s surname “Yu”.


    "He was once the Minister of State Chu." Chu Yao did not keep it a secret, and directly exposed the identity of Yu Zhubu.


    "Chu Kingdom?" Xu Quan didn''t know Chu Yao''s identity, but he also vaguely guessed that the second-grade Chinese heart is not a street cabbage, and the owners are generally not too good.


    Chu Gongcao''s name collided with the striking figures many years ago, which made Xu Quan suspected for a time, but there was no evidence. He tentatively said: "The State of Chu seems to be the homeland of Mr. Chu?"


    "Yes." Chu Yao admitted.


    Xu Quan: “…”


    Intuition tells him that there is a story here.


    To be precise, it is the bad debts of Chu Yao, the general surnamed Chu and the chief clerk of Yu, three people, more than ten years ago.


    Yu Zhuanbu: "...You go and invite the general."


    The messenger looked at Chu Yao and the other two worriedly.


    “Yes, but…”


    Yu Zhubu said angrily: "Who can hurt me in this military camp? Just invite the general over quickly."


    The messenger had to suppress his worries and take the order.


    This has become three to one.


    Zhubu Yu suddenly felt that the pressure doubled.


    He picked a seat that was not far or near.


    He said: "I didn''t expect that Wuhui is still alive..."


    Apart from this hair, it is no different from his appearance back then.


    Chu Yao said, "So did Yu Shizhong."


    Master Yu felt uncomfortable when he heard this title and said, "There is no more than Shizhong Yu, but he is just a small master who has lived this life here."


    After saying that, there was another round of silence.


    Until the metal sound of the joints of armor and helmets rubbed outside the house, a momentum came towards the camp, and the thick curtain of the camp was vigorously lifted.


    "Who is doing it here!"


    This person''s voice was like a thunder, shaking the sky.


    Chu Yao raised his eyes.


    General Chu looked down.


    Then-


    Quiet.


    Deadly quiet.


    General Chu: “…”


    urgent!


    What should I do if my childhood friend who has been dead for many years suddenly becomes a zombie!


    ?(へ╬)


    ??I haven''t been very good recently. I have been sleepy and tired all the time, and I feel like I can''t sleep enough.


    ??I can only try to write each chapter as long as possible in the past few days.


    ??Wait a few days later, I will update you if I am in better condition.


    PS: Mr. Chu Yao came here to fight with a sword ()


    ??
