The crowd dispersed quickly, and the patrol team escorted the people away, but the captain did not leave and stayed where he was.
A few minutes later, when people on the street saw the owner returning, they all turned to look at him. He was such an ordinary man, but they could not associate him with the identity of a general.
Chu Xiang naturally knew what was going on. In the Hedao realm, as long as he thought about it, he could see every plant and tree around him, not to mention that what he stole was his own.
Seeing Chu Xiang coming back, the patrol captain hurried forward to greet him, stood at attention and saluted, but did not dare to say a word.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, so don't worry about it," Chu Xiang said.
Recalling Shangfeng's instructions and knowing that Chu Xiang fully understood the ins and outs of the matter, the captain of the patrol team bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, chief."
The patrol leader used the word "chief". Before contacting him, he saw the yellow buttons exposed on the military uniform. There was no doubt that this man was at least a major general-level officer. The onlookers immediately whispered and discussed.
"It seems like I've become a king's meal eater." Chu Xiang picked up the package and said.
"No, no, my subordinates will give him the money." The patrol leader said quickly.
"Well, then help me give it to him." Chu Xiang took out the smallest piece of silver and threw it to the patrol captain. This was enough to pay for his spicy soup.
As soon as the captain caught the money, Chu Xiang had already turned around and walked away. He had no choice but to put it away. Remembering the leader's instructions, the captain knew that his life would definitely be difficult in the next few days.
The snack street returned to its usual fireworks atmosphere. After a while, someone suddenly shouted: "I know who he is."
The sudden shouting silenced the whole street, and someone asked: "Who?"
"That military uniform is a general's uniform." The person who yelled said, but did not immediately tell his guess.
"Impossible. None of the thirty-one generals are like this." Someone said, with a very sure tone. The major general is incredible enough, how could he be a general.
"How could a general come to a place like this?" someone laughed.
People in the whole street laughed. What kind of status does the admiral have? How could he come to such a dirty and chaotic place and have his luggage stolen.
If he was really a general, how could it be that the people who came to arrest people were just patrols? A large number of soldiers like wolves and tigers had already arrived, arrested all the people in the street, beat them to half to death one by one, and then imprisoned them all. Prison, you won't have to come out for the rest of your life.
The general is either a feudal official or an important minister in the court. He is transported in and out by special vehicles and accompanied by escorts. It is impossible to get close. He is above the eighth level and looks down on the world. How can he see the fireworks in this world, let alone come to this kind of thing? place to eat these filthy things.
"You're wrong, it's not thirty-one, it's thirty-two." The person yelled.
"The one who was recently promoted to general is Gong Yangtai. There are thirty-one in total. Where did he get thirty-two?" the man retorted.
The man who yelled laughed and said word by word: "You are wrong. The one who was recently promoted to admiral is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Navy Region, Demon Lord Chu Xiang."
As soon as he said this, the whole street fell silent, and the crowd fell into deathly silence.
Everyone knows about Demon Lord Chu Xiang, and no one in the world can tell the story of two Demon Lords Chu Xiang. It is impossible for other generals to come here, but Demon Lord will.
Someone took out their mobile phone to check the photo of Demon Lord Chu Xiang, and found that he was exactly the same as the person just now.
"It's really him." The person who compared the photo said excitedly.
The quiet street suddenly became noisy like a volcano erupting, and the crowd was boiling. The Demon Lord, who had not been seen in the world for a long time, was promoted to admiral and became the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Navy District. He also appeared here and had a bowl of spicy soup here. What a surprise.
The excited crowd talked a lot, loudly telling various stories about Demon Lord Chu Xiang, as if they had once sat and drank with Demon Lord, fought side by side with Demon Lord, as if they could tell several stories about Demon Lord Chu Xiang, all of whom were related to them. Same as Rong Yan.
Not long after, more than a dozen Hu spicy soup stalls appeared in the snack street outside the Los Angeles Airport, all with very attractive signboards: Demon Lord Hu Spicy Soup, Admiral Hu Spicy Soup, Donghai Hu Spicy Soup, Commander Hu Spicy Soup Soup, Jiangwutang spicy soup.
There are all kinds of names, and every name can be related to Chu Xiang. They all said that Chu Xiang had eaten Hu spicy soup at their stall. They even described how he took the first bite and how he commented after finishing it. , his spicy spicy soup is really the spicy spicy soup that the master of the martial arts hall, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Navy Region, Demon Lord Chu Xiangdu, said it was delicious.
As word of mouth spreads, the hot spicy soup outside Luocheng Airport has gradually become one of Luocheng's signature snacks. People who come to Luocheng must go to the snack street in front of the airport to have a bowl of it at the Eastern Naval District Commander-in-Chief Lecture Hall The Lord General Demon King Chu Xiangdu said that the spicy spicy soup was delicious.
The cold wind is howling, and the weather is getting colder. The leaves on the trees on both sides of the road into the city have fallen off. This road is very busy, with cars coming and going. Needless to say, most of them are cars of dignitaries.
Chu Xiang walked slowly, watching the people coming and going on the road, the wind coming and going, and all the things in the world were just passing clouds. He was in a trance for a while, wandering around in the wilderness.
There are vendors setting up stalls at the intersection selling fruits. Although they are wild fruits, they are also rare. There are not many fruits that can withstand heavy rain for three to four months and survive the frost when the cold wind comes.
Naturally, those in good condition were sold to people in the city. The remaining crooked melons and cracked dates were set up at this intersection. Chu Xiang stopped in front of the stall and looked at the price tag above. Regardless of size or type, they were all sold. Two yuan each.
The country has issued new banknotes to replace the old banknotes. However, people in many places still do not recognize banknotes, only gold and silver. In Luo City, there are many people who use banknotes. After all, this is the capital, so there is no fear that these banknotes will not be cashed.
When issuing new banknotes, the country also redefined the standards for the use of gold and silver. The smallest denomination of silver is one hundred yuan, which weighs one gram. The smallest denomination of gold is one thousand yuan, which also weighs one gram. As long as some processing fees are paid. , everyone can take their gold and silver to a processing center run by the military government to have the gold and silver processed into a common denomination.
After giving the stall owner the smallest denomination of silver, Chu Xiang took a fruit he didn't know the name of, rubbed it and ate it. He tried one of each type of fruit, and finally Chu Xiang picked the ten most delicious fruits to take with him. Walk.
Wandering on the sidewalk covered with dead leaves and eating the fruits he bought, Chu Xiang didn't realize that he looked like a homeless man now.
In this rare leisure time, Chu Xiang didn't know how long it had been since he was so relaxed. All kinds of things kept adding pressure to him. It wasn't until he broke through and understood his path that the pressure in Chu Xiang's heart eased slightly.
After crossing the Wangcheng Bridge, many vendors were setting up stalls on the sidewalk at the foot of the bridge. A row of vendors were setting up. Looking at the steaming various kinds of food, Chu Xiang couldn't help but stroll over. He looked left and right, and sat down when he saw something he liked. Come down and have a local snack.
After eating all the way, Chu Xiang couldn't count how many kinds of things he had eaten. Seeing that it was getting dark and it was almost time, Chu Xiang found a cheap, clean and quiet hotel nearby, took a shower, cleaned up, and put on his clothes. Wear camouflage clothes and head to Houde Garden.
Houde Garden is heavily guarded and surrounded by experts. Naturally, the place where the General Secretary made an appointment could not be an ordinary place.
Arriving at the gate of Houde Garden at 7:55, Chu Xiang pressed the fingerprint lock on the door and said to the guard in the guard box: "Secretary Li asked me to meet at Houde Garden at eight o'clock."
The guard in the guard booth looked at the identity information identified by fingerprints, and quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, chief, please wait a moment."
The guard called his superiors for instructions and received a reply quickly.
After leaving the post, the guard saluted: "Chief, please follow me."
The guard led Chu Xiang into the gate. There was already a man dressed as a secretary waiting. When he saw Chu Xiang, he stepped forward and bowed slightly: "General, please follow me. The secretary is already waiting."
"Excuse me, please lead the way." Chu Xiang said.
Walking through a meadow, we came to an attic with the words Guanyun Pavilion written in large letters on the door plate.
After ascending the pavilion to the ninth floor of the stairs, the secretary stopped and bowed slightly: "General, please."
Chu Xiang nodded slightly and climbed to the ninth level of the attic. There was only one person on the ninth level, who was the current General Secretary of the imperial court.
There was only the general secretary, so Chu Xiang already knew about such a meeting.
Taking two steps forward, Chu Xiang stood at attention and saluted, saying: "Hello, General Secretary."
The General Secretary, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, nodded slightly and said, "Sit down."
Chu Xiang sat down opposite the General Secretary and said: "I am a country idler. It is my first time to be an official. I don't understand any rules. Don't blame the Secretary for anything inappropriate."
The general secretary did not speak, and looked at Chu Xiang quietly. After a while, he slowly said: "Demon Lord Chu Xiang, are you a human or a demon?"
A solemn question.
"Whether it's a human being or a demon, it's just one mind." Chu Xiang said.
"Can the heart see it?" the general secretary asked.
This is a very important sentence. It is in the heart and cannot be seen until it is dug out.
"The heart cannot be seen, but the Tao can be seen. The Tao originates from the heart. If the heart does not have the Tao, it cannot be combined with the Tao." Chu Xiang said.
"No exceptions?" the general secretary said, obviously he knew something about the realm of Hedao.
Although the general secretary's cultivation level is not in the virtual realm, he is the leader of a country. What he wants to know, naturally someone told him that there are masters of Hedao in the court, so he naturally knows what the Hedao realm means.
"No." Chu Xiang affirmed.
"What is your way?"
"The secretary has seen my way."
Chu Xiang's way is in the martial arts hall, in Taiwan, and in the hearts of people all over the world.
"Your way seems not to be recognized."
"If everyone agrees with my Tao, I won't be the only one who agrees with it." Chu Xiang said.
Only when heaven and earth recognize it can it be in harmony with the Tao. Whether others recognize it or not is not important. This is the truth, and it is also a heart-wrenching statement.
Heaven and earth agree with me, but you do not. There is no need to defend who is wrong and who is right.
