The clouds in Izumo are no different from those in other countries. They are white and soft. If you pass through the clouds, your clothes will get wet.
It's rainy here, it's rare to be sunny today.
Fuqi City.
The people who built the city hoped that the city would never be flooded, so they built the city on a small hill. It will indeed not be flooded, but the mountain road is winding, making it inconvenient for people to get in and out, and there are no roads nearby. The secret realms or mineral deposits that attract monks have caused Fuqi City to never prosper.
However, when the Izumo Civil War broke out, Fuqi Castle prospered due to its special geographical location, which strangled the north and south, and the convenient deployment of defensive formations, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Xu Fu's third son, Xu Jie, established the central camp here.
Nowadays, Fuqi City has changed from its past desolate state. It is becoming more prosperous and lively day by day. Recently, due to the arrival of distinguished guests, every household has been decorated with lights and colorful decorations, demonstrating Xu Jie's camp's strong confidence in ending the Izumo Civil War.
"What a city with high morale!"
Everyone who enters the city can't help but sigh.
There was no worry about this civil war on the faces of the people in the city, only strong self-confidence.
Lord Xu Jie, you will definitely win!
What, you said don't underestimate other camps?
Get out!
"Master Xu Jie will win!"
At the city gate, another guest took an oath.
This was a Taoist priest in slovenly clothes, carrying a huge wine gourd on his back. He was drunk and had not washed himself for an unknown period of time. The smell of wine was mixed with the stench, which was nauseating.
"Hiccup...must win!"
The Taoist priest burped, and the interrogating soldier in front of him almost fainted from the smoke, and kicked him into the city like a god of plague.
"Who...who the hell kicked me? Do you know who Pindao is? If I tell you, I'll scare you to death..."
The Taoist priest cursed, danced and crawled all over the ground, like a loach. Suddenly he smelled the aroma of wine and crawled away quickly.
"Damn Taoist priest, if I chop you, I will dirty my hands!"
The guards cursed and continued to guard the city gate.
There were so many people coming in and out of Fuqi City every day, and they didn't bother to conduct detailed checks. They let the uncultivated people go as they were told. Anyway, there were so many legions stationed in the city, so they had nothing to do, and they were not afraid of the people making trouble.
The Taoist priest had climbed to a restaurant.
He smelled like poison and was self-aware. He just lay down in the corner by the door and yelled: "Get some wine!" and threw a few pieces of silver into the door.
"What are you yelling about? Where are these beggars from? What a damn bad luck!"
A waiter rushed up, but was so stung that he took a few steps back. Cursing, he picked up the broken silver on the ground, then brought two jars of wine and said, "You can pretend it yourself, I don't want to care about you!"
The Taoist priest smiled, as if he were seeing his own mother when he saw the wine. He opened the mud seal and poured a few gulps into his mouth.
"Hiccup... feels good!"
He was so happy that he flew into the restaurant with his bad breath blowing in the wind. The guests were so frightened that they thought the enemy's poison gas bombs were coming.
The waiter in the shop was so angry that he rushed out and kicked and punched the Taoist priest in an attempt to drive him away.
"Stop fighting, get me a room, I want to take a bath!" the Taoist priest shouted.
"You're dreaming!" The waiter was so angry that he was furious.
If this guy comes in to take a shower, the entire restaurant will be polluted by him. How can we still do business? !
The Taoist priest seemed to know where his advantage was. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't open the car to me, I will block the door and stop you from doing business!"
"Are you fucking looking for death?"
The waiter was furious, his fists and kicks rained down, and he cursed: "Are you leaving? Are you leaving? I'll beat you to death..."
When the two sides were entangled, a clear shout was suddenly heard in their ears: "Stop!"
A gentle breeze blew, and an elegant woman approached surrounded by a group of armored soldiers.
When the waiter saw this girl, he was as frightened as if he had seen an emperor. He knelt down with a plop and said, "See Miss!"
"The eldest lady is here!"
"What a lady!"
When the people around her saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised. They gathered around and saluted the woman desperately.
If you want to ask which eldest lady has such prestige, it is naturally Xu Zhilan, Xu Jie's eldest daughter, who has a princess-like status in Fuqi City.
Xu Zhilan nodded and said, "You don't have to be polite, just go on your own!"
After dispersing the people, she looked at the waiter and the Taoist priest, frowning slightly, as if she was also suffering from the smoke.
But she didn't take a step back. Instead, she asked, "Why did you hit someone in the street? Could it be that you hit the beggar? Wouldn't it hurt him?"
The waiter was so frightened that his liver trembled, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Miss, you are wronged. This Taoist priest insisted on blocking the door and preventing us from doing business. I just want to drive him away."
Xu Zhilan frowned slightly and asked the Taoist priest: "Why are you disturbing other people's business?"
The Taoist priest said: "Hiccup... who... who told him not to give me a room?"
The waiter said angrily: "You stink so much that you are polluting the environment. Who would want to live in the house you lived in?"
The Taoist priest yelled: "It's not like I don't want to give you money, so why don't you let me take a bath? If I don't wash myself, how can I not pollute the environment? The city is my home, and hygiene depends on everyone. If you prevent me from taking a bath, you are contributing to the civilized development of the city." Jijizi, what are your intentions?"
"you……"
The waiter's face turned the color of pig liver.
When Xu Zhilan heard this, he nodded slightly, glanced at the waiter, and said: "The city is my home, and health depends on everyone. He is right, you can open a room for him!"
"Yes Yes……"
The waiter didn't dare to refute, so he had to respond in a low voice.
"You still have to pay for my medical expenses! If you beat me like this, how can I participate in the legion examination?" The Taoist priest refused to give up and shouted loudly.
A guard behind Xu Zhilan smiled and said: "You are the only one who still wants to take the legion assessment? Which legion do you want to join, the Drunkard Legion?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed, and among them the waiter laughed the most.
"This poor Taoist knows a little about medicine and stone, so naturally he has to join the army and practice medicine!" The Taoist burped and said proudly.
"Wu that waiter, I don't want you to pay much money for me. You can grab one or two burnet, purple thistle, and two pieces of sappan wood for me, and get three bowls of water. I can mix the medicine myself!"
The Taoist priest said again.
Hearing that this Taoist priest really knew how to do medicine, Xu Zhilan suddenly became interested and asked with a smile: "Taoist Priest, where are you from and why do you want to join the legion?"
While drinking, the Taoist priest said proudly: "I have been wandering around since I was a child, and I don't belong to anywhere! As for why you want to join the legion, of course you want to make a living. Do you also want to save the country of Izumo?"
Xu Zhilan smiled and said, "You are a real person."
The Taoist smiled and seemed to have sobered up from the wine. He looked at Xu Zhilan and said foolishly: "You are a beauty. After I take a bath, let's go on a date?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you be so rude to Miss, please come and take him down!"
