Chapter 228 The wind and rain here

Weizhou and Cangzhou are adjacent to each other. The flood in the 11th year of Tianjian forced countless victims along the Wei River to leave Weizhou. And when they left Weizhou, they wanted to go to places, places they could go to, and places they could go to.

Only Cangzhou.

However, even if they came to Cangzhou from Weizhou, not many victims survived in the end.

Chen Chao is just an exception.

A story that cannot be replicated.

So in fact, what Chen Chao said in that hall did not make much sense at all, because there would not be a second Chen Chao in the world, and there would not be the same story.

A familiar story is not the same story.

Many people understand this truth.

But familiar and identical stories often happen in this world.

Thinking about this matter, the dean went south faster, but in less than half a day, he entered Weizhou. Then the leader of scholars in the world stood at a ferry and looked at it for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

.

The people passed by him, but no one recognized him.

Of course, no one in the world would really think that they could meet the leader of scholars in the world, the dean of the academy, at an ordinary ferry crossing.





Tianqing County has actually been relatively peaceful in the past six months. Although a very good guard envoy left, a new guard envoy came here soon. He was a very ordinary martial artist. His realm was not high, but he was still

It's not bad. I've done my duty well, and there are no monsters around here anymore, so Tianqing County is really at peace.

The cloth seller continued to sell cloth, the wine seller continued to sell wine, and the slovenly man was still so slovenly.

Zhou Gouqi has talked a lot less in the past six months, probably because the boy who lives across the street has really left. No one in the whole peach blossom alley quarrels with him anymore, and his mother-in-law doesn't like to quarrel and likes to get physical.

So his life is a bit boring these days.

When you are bored, you will look a little depressed. Zhou Gouqi was sitting on the threshold of his home. Suddenly he felt a little irritable, so he casually shouted inside: "I want to go on a long trip!"

There was a response from inside soon, it was a woman's voice, "You are not allowed to go!"

Zhou Gouqi frowned and said irritably: "I haven't said what to do yet."

The woman walked out of the house, crossed the courtyard, and came to the door. She said a little unreasonably: "I can't go anyway!"

In the past six months, the woman has actually lost a lot of weight. Wherever she still had her strong body, her waist can now be vaguely seen.

Zhou Gouqi did not turn around, but insisted: "I have listened to you on everything these years, can you listen to me this time?!"

After hearing this, the woman immediately started crying, not loudly, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, but Zhou Gouqi was so close to her, so she couldn't hear her.

"Why are you crying? If you are unhappy, will you beat me up?"

Zhou Gouqi leaned against the door frame, wondering what he was thinking.

The woman stood behind the door and choked up: "You think I don't know that you have been letting me go all these years just so that you can feel at ease when you have to leave one day. You have already thought of this day, haven't you?"

In the past few years, everyone in the neighborhood has said that Zhou Gouqi is a coward, but I am afraid that no one knows better than the woman in front of her what kind of person her husband is. His pretended cowardice and weakness are actually all for the sake of not wanting to

Let others see his true self.

But if we spend time together day and night, sharing the same bed, there is nothing we can’t find.

Zhou Gouqi frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

The woman's face was filled with tears and she said sadly: "You think I don't know anything. I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not stupid. I know. I know everything!"

The woman shouted from behind the door, her voice gradually getting louder.

"Keep your voice down. Do you really want people to hear such a loud voice?"

Zhou Gouqi waved his hand, but soon understood that this was meaningless, so he turned around and looked at the woman who had been with him for more than ten years. These days, he naturally knew that she had some thoughts in her heart, otherwise it would not be possible for her to lose weight like this.

Go down, but in fact the woman in front of me is certainly not ugly, especially after losing weight, there is a bit of elegance between her brows, and even because she comes from a remote place, she has a more natural feeling, and she looks very

It's pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Gouqi looked at the woman with tears on her face and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything and just sighed slightly.

The woman looked at him blankly, and then just asked softly: "Can you take me with you?"

"I know you won't come back after you go out. I know you must go out, and there must be a reason for you to go out. Then I won't stop you, and you can take me out with you."

The woman's eyes were full of pleading. In the past few years, the man in front of her had been giving in to her, and she had gone too far. In fact, it was just to see how far he could retreat. No woman is born with a bad temper.

No man is born a coward. After all, I just want to see how far he will endure it.

Zhou Gouqi looked at her without saying a word.

"Still not working?"

There was some disappointment in the woman's voice, which gradually became quieter.

"Of course not. Who will come to see your home when you are gone?"

Zhou Gouqi said matter-of-factly: "Who told you that I'm going on a long trip? Can't I go over there and see the lady who sells wine? Can't I come back later for dinner?"

The woman looked at him, still with tears streaming down her face.

Zhou Wolfberry became a little irritable and wanted to say something, but still couldn't say anything.

But a moment later, he saw the woman in front of him raising her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Gouqi was startled and then a little surprised.

"somebody is coming."

The woman lowered her voice and hid inside the door.

What a good woman she is. No matter how she quarrels with her man, she will still know how to protect her man's face.

Zhou Gouqi muttered, "Where is the person?"

In this Peach Blossom Alley, their family is already in the deepest part of the alley. When Chen Chao was still there, there were still people who would go to the deepest part of this alley, but now, they shouldn't be there.

As a result, when Zhou Gouqi turned around, he saw a middle-aged man slowly walking towards the depths of the alley.

Zhou Gouqi was suddenly startled, and then he stood blankly on the spot, silent.

It's probably because I'm really speechless, rather than because I don't want to say anything.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe it was because the alley was too quiet, or maybe the woman had wiped away her tears, and then she poked her head out and looked at the middle-aged man who was almost walking to the door. She felt a little strange.

, even though the middle-aged man looked not much older than the man in front of him, he still felt that the middle-aged man in front of him should be an old man with gray hair.

The middle-aged man walked to the door and ignored Zhou Wolfberry who was standing in front of the door. Instead, he looked at the woman and said with a smile: "I'm tired, can you take a rest?"

The woman was startled, then looked at Zhou Gouqi.

But Zhou Wolfberry remained motionless. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Go and cook, take off the piece of bacon, grab a chicken and stew it. Take out the tea leaves I bought last year and make a pot of tea."

The woman paused, said oh, and quickly turned around and went in to make preparations.

The middle-aged man walked to the courtyard and sat in front of a bench that the woman had moved out. He said to himself: "It's a small, remote town. It's quite quiet. There's no need to study. There's no husband to play the board, and there aren't any monks? That's it.

Say, if you want to be reasonable, you can be reasonable. If you don’t want to be reasonable, then everyone has to recognize this truth?"

The middle-aged man's voice was a little soft, like the breeze blowing in the mountains, but it was pleasant to the ears anyway.

But Zhou Wolfberry didn't think so.

The aroma gradually floated in the yard, the smell of bacon and chicken soup.

The middle-aged man sniffed and said with some satisfaction: "My wife is not bad, but she is a little fatter."

Zhou Wolfberry remained silent, thinking that if you had come earlier, you wouldn't just say that you were a little fatter.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "You just plan to never see or talk to me for the rest of your life?"

Having said this, Zhou Gouqi naturally couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb again. He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, then knelt down and said seriously: "Meet the teacher."

When Zhou Gouqi knelt down, the woman happened to come out. Seeing this scene, she was shocked to the extreme. She didn't know what to say, but she still wanted to come over and kneel down together, but she hadn't come over yet.

The middle-aged man turned to her and smiled: "Go and watch the pot, don't burn the vegetables."

Only then did the woman remember that there was such a thing, turned around quickly, and soon returned to the kitchen.

The middle-aged man was naturally the dean, but no one would have guessed that Zhou Gouqi in front of him was also the dean's disciple.

The dean has only seventy-two disciples. In other words, among the scholars in this world, only seventy-two people are lucky enough to be able to worship the dean. This is a very remarkable thing.

"The disciple heard that the teacher finally got what he wanted and accepted the junior sister. Speaking of which, the disciple even met the junior sister..."

Zhou Gouqi just spoke, and then he remembered the scene when he met Xie Nandu for the first time. He felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't say anything further.

The dean sneered, "You guys, if you think there is a good place in the world except the academy, why are you running around so much? Why don't you worry about when I, the teacher, will die? You can't even see the last of me?"

"

Zhou Gouqi smiled bitterly and said with some lack of momentum: "Teacher's body is probably not that weak."

Looking at the disciple in front of him who had yellow teeth and no longer looked like a scholar, the dean changed the subject and asked: "Come back to the capital with me this time?"

Zhou Gouqi scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "Disciple heard that the capital of God is also in chaos now. Your Majesty is preparing for the Northern Expedition. Something happened over there in Cangzhou. If you go back now, wouldn't it cause trouble for the teacher?"

The dean said nonchalantly: "Those troubles can never be solved, so what if there are one more? If there are too many lice, don't be afraid of them."

Zhou Gouqi glanced at the smoke coming out of the kitchen, was silent for a moment, and shook his head.

The dean looked at him and suddenly asked: "What about that matter? How did the investigation go?"





The dean had traveled to many places and was not in a hurry to return to the divine capital. However, Wei Xu and Xie Nandu went all the way north and arrived at the divine capital.

Standing at the gate of the city, a carriage from the academy had been waiting here for a long time. When the coachman saw the two people, he quickly greeted them, "Mr. Wei, Mr. Xie."

Although Xie Nandu is still young, since he is the disciple of the dean, he is of the same generation as Wei Xu, so being called sir is not too much.

Wei Xu nodded slightly and asked about the current situation in the Divine Capital. The groom was naturally not an ordinary groom. Even if he was an ordinary groom, he was not an ordinary groom. In short, he quickly told all the big and small things happening in the Divine Capital today.

Read it again.

There are no major events in Shendu now. If the incident that happened in Cangzhou is not counted, the biggest thing in Shendu now is that His Majesty wants to conquer it personally but the ministers do not agree. There are other things happening behind this incident.

Trouble, for example, there was a vague incident in the court where a minister was taking a position between the two princes.

As long as there is a choice, then those real big families will definitely be involved. The Wei family and the Xie family are both big families, so naturally they cannot escape. Wei Xu shook his head, but he didn't really take it to heart, since His Majesty hasn't left yet.

, then everything has not really fallen into place.

After waving his hand, the groom left naturally, and Wei Xu said something to Xie Nandu.

After returning to the Divine Capital, the relationship between the two naturally became that of brother and sister, extremely close.

Xie Nandu thought for a while and walked into the carriage.

Wei Xu naturally started driving towards the academy.

Not many people in the world dare to let a Monk Wangyou be a groom. In other words, Monk Wangyou can be a groom, but it also depends on who he is a groom for. Just like Wei Xu, who has been working for the dean in the past few days.

Driving, then no one can say anything.

Of course, no one can say anything when driving for Xie Nandu now.

The carriage soon stopped in front of the small courtyard of the academy. Xie Nandu got out of the carriage and Wei Xu drove away.

The maid Liu Ye soon heard some noises and walked out of the yard. When she saw it was Xie Nandu, she was very happy and said: "Miss, you are back!"

Xie Nandu nodded and was about to walk into the small courtyard, but soon someone called her name.

She turned around and found that the person coming was Xie Ling.

From the city gate to the small courtyard of the academy, Xie Nandu only took a short time, but this time was enough for the Xie family to know. After they knew it, they would naturally react. The arrival of Xie Ling in front of them naturally represented

Xie's will.

Xie Nandu said nothing, just waiting for him to speak.

Xie Ling had originally prepared a lot of pleasantries to say, but when he saw the girl in front of him like this, he realized that the words he had prepared had no effect, so he went straight to the point and said: "I think you know about Cangzhou's affairs."

Xie Nandu nodded and refused more directly: "I won't go."

Xie Ling was startled, a little dazed.

He never expected such an answer. Although the Da Liang Dynasty and Fang Wai monks were still in the stage of negotiating specific conditions, how could they not know some things in advance and make some preparations.

Xie Ling said: "That ancient ruins is not an ordinary place. You really don't want to go and see it. Besides, he is over there..."

He naturally knows these inside stories, but now that he says this, he doesn’t know what it means. It’s hard to say whether it’s intentional or something else.

Xie Nandu said: "After I get the sword back, I have to raise it and I don't have time."

Although Xie Nandu has been proven to be a real swordsman genius by bringing back so many flying swords from Jianqi Mountain, even if he is a swordsman genius, raising swords requires hard work, not to mention that Xie Nandu's natal flying sword is not a one-size-fits-all sword.

handle, but nine handles.

It can be said that today's Xie Nandu may not be the most powerful swordsman in the world, nor is he the most talented swordsman, but he must be the swordsman with the most flying swords in his life, a total of nine flying swords, and the entire history of swordsmanship.

I'm afraid I can't even find the second person, right?

Although Xie Ling didn't have much interaction with the Xie Nandu in front of her, he still knew what kind of temperament this nominal sister had. Now that she had made a decision, no one could change it.

"In this case, I will go back and resume my life."

Xie Ling's brows were filled with joy. Since Xie Nandu didn't want this opportunity, it would be obvious that his family would fully support him. Being able to explore that kind of place would be extremely helpful to his cultivation, so Xie Ling had no reason to be unhappy.

Xie Nandu didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, Liu Ye gently closed the door.

Xie Ling glanced at the courtyard door, thinking about the girl's temperament, and shook his head, no matter how talented she was, since she was a woman, and she didn't know how to do superficial things, how could it be a good thing?

But when he remembered that Xie Nandu was now the dean's close disciple, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and then sighed.

As we left along the lakeside, we happened to see another figure not far away.

Huang Zhi.

The academy student who had expressed his love for Xie Nandu before, but to no avail.

Xie Ling's eyes were full of disgust. Although he was also disgusted with Xie Nandu, he had never felt that a woman in his family needed to marry a guy like Huang Zhi.

Huang Zhi knew Xie Ling, and after seeing this descendant of the Xie family, he quickly bowed his hands and showed great respect to him.

Xie Ling walked away expressionlessly.

A look of disappointment flashed in Huang Zhi's eyes, but he quickly came to his senses, and then continued to walk forward. When he came to the small courtyard, he did not stop, but kept moving forward, but the pace was very slow.

He obviously slowed down a bit, and there were a few sneers not far away, and he didn't know what they were laughing at.

Huang Zhi was very silent. He naturally knew that those people were mocking him.

He should have never appeared here again, never expected to see Xie Nandu again, but those things deep in his heart kept telling him that he wanted to come and see her, and that he wanted to see her again, even just for a glance.

That’s fine.

Huang Zhi sighed, knowing that the door would not open for him. He walked lonely towards the distance and murmured softly: "Chen Chao, I will not let you marry her!"

His eyes were very firm and his voice was very low, but it was obvious that there were countless emotions exploding in his heart at the moment.





After the court meeting, the guardian envoy entered the palace and met Emperor Liang by the lake.

These days, it is said that the Liang Emperor had a very strong desire to lead a personal expedition. After being stopped by the courtiers, he was naturally unhappy. These days, none of the courtiers could be summoned to the palace to have a private audience by the emperor. But now the guardian envoy saw

After the Emperor Liang, he discovered that His Majesty the Emperor did not feel depressed as rumored by the outside world, but was enjoying the scenery here with great interest.

"You don't have to go around in circles, thinking that I won't be happy anyway?"

Emperor Daliang has a lot of white hair on his temples. Compared with himself some time ago, Emperor Liang's eyebrows are less soft and more stiff.

The guardian smiled and said: "Now the gods have made this matter a big deal, and countless monks are watching. Don't you want to pretend?"

Only these big shots really understood that if Emperor Liang was determined to go north, no matter whether it was the courtiers or anything else, they could not stop him.

Emperor Liang said: "You mean there will be someone watching from our side?"

It's a bit ridiculous to say this. After all, these two are one of the two most amazing warriors in the world. This is a deep palace. How can any outsider listen to their conversation?

The guardian smiled and said nothing.

Like the dean, he had a good relationship with Emperor Liang, so he didn't need so much etiquette between monarchs and ministers.

"That young man did a good job. Just by doing these things, being a governor of the state capital doesn't really matter."

Emperor Liang looked at the guardian envoy.

The guard said with a grimace: "At this young age, the boy wants to be in charge of a state. Your Majesty, this kind of thing cannot be done like this."

Emperor Daliang said straight to the point: "The battle report came in a few days ago. The battle in the north is far more anxious than you and I thought. However, I have spent so many years building up the border army, which is enough to make the demon race understand that the human race is now...

It’s no longer their food ration.”

The guard wanted to speak but stopped.

Emperor Liang smiled and said: "Along with the battle report, there was also a letter from the general. He said that if the young man was sent to the north for half a century at most, he would give me a northern general in return.

A warrior who forgets his worries."

The guard's face immediately turned ugly. He stared at Emperor Liang with wide eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

He refused flatly.

Emperor Liang said: "I also said the same in my reply. If you want someone, I don't care and let him convince you first. So I guess it won't be long before the second letter is delivered to your house."

.”

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some lingering fear: "That old man won't live long. If he becomes shameless, I really don't know how to deal with him."

Emperor Daliang remained silent, looking at the lake, wondering what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally spoke again and said softly: "The battle in the north should not be decided this time, but it will last for a long time."

The governor sighed with emotion: "We have done a good job, why is your Majesty still worried?"

In the war between the human race and the monster race, the human race has been at a disadvantage for so many years. Even after the establishment of the Liang Dynasty, the situation has changed somewhat, but it is not as easy as it is now. Although the emperor of Liang Dynasty still failed to accomplish anything,

Obviously, he is worthy of ranking among the emperors of the human race for thousands of years, but it is obvious that even so, the Emperor Liang in front of him will still be dissatisfied.

Emperor Liang said: "The general can't hold on for a few more years, and this war will not end quietly in a few years and never happen again."

Nowadays, the reason why the Daliang Dynasty has the confidence to face the monster clan in the north is not only because the national power of the Daliang Dynasty has been in a prosperous state for so many years, nor is it because they have a great Emperor of Daliang, and

A well-trained frontier army, and because they also have a great commander.

"Things will be very troublesome in the future. I will have to appear in the north one day."

Emperor Liang turned to smile and said: "But this battle should be fought well."

"That little guy won't disappoint me in Chongming Mountain. You tell him not to be afraid of anything. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to be afraid of, such as the double walls of a sect or the genius of a foreigner."

Emperor Liang said calmly but firmly: "Anyway, they all think that I am going to do something earth-shattering, so let them think about it!"
