When Xu Chunhua returned to the alley, she did not see such a young man.
This made this small town girl not know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or to breathe a sigh of relief.
He breathed a sigh of relief, naturally because he no longer had that sudden fright.
As for taking a breath.
Xu Chunhua thought about the young man who spent the whole night sharpening his sword last night, and her heart was naturally full of doubts and uneasiness.
She later remembered that Chen He actually wrote many times in his books that young men would habitually sharpen their swords before going to kill people.
But probably in the real story, the boy didn't sharpen his sword a few times.
Although the boy's affair at that time was very embarrassing and ended with his legs being broken by a certain Qingtian Taoist.
It's just that maybe the time when he was sharpening his sword under the moonlight of Jingsi Lake left too deep an impression on Chen He.
Sharpening his sword under the moonlight and leaving after asking questions, this kind of plot is probably very common in the story he wrote when he had nothing to do.
So the boy in the book who really came out of Chen He's story also borrowed a yard and a grindstone to sharpen his sword there.
Xu Chunhua thought curiously.
What on earth is a young man like that going to do?
When Xu Chunhua walked to the door of the courtyard, she thought again and did not open the door to go in. Instead, she walked through the alley, stuck her head out in the dusk at the other end, and looked around.
It's just that there was probably no trace of that boy again.
Xu Chunhua didn't know why she suddenly seemed to care about this young man's appearance.
Maybe it's because of Chen He.
The small-town girl thinks about the young man who always carries a biography.
The boy in the book really exists.
So maybe the story about Mo Jian Ya Qiu Shui that I read earlier is also true?
The small town girl stood there and thought about a lot of things, and then quietly returned to the alley in the dusk.
...
His Majesty is not in Huaidu, so the affairs of the court will naturally continue as usual.
It has been almost a year since the servant Zhong Shui Ping took charge of the government affairs and stood beside the palace to discuss various matters.
Shui Zai Ping's words of rejecting Mei Xiyu were naturally true.
The world is in chaos, and even if there is still peace in Huaidu, it is naturally impossible for people like them to appear calm.
After all, the Menxia Province is not the Heavenly Prison or the Tiangong Division. Liu Qinghe and Song Yingxin can spend their free time in the Heavenly Prison cooking Liu Baiyuan boy's urine and pear tea leaves, but they can't.
Even if everyone thinks that there is something wrong with the current Lord Attendant, the chaos outside the world is still confusing, so it is natural that Huaidu cannot be plunged into chaos.
Everything is still going on step by step.
The boss Li Chenghe left the palace and walked slowly on the road.
After all, he is a member of the Ministry of War. Although Li Chenghe is very old, he does not look too senile. This can be seen from the fact that he was able to walk on the Qingtian Road and go there to ask for some explanations to the world.
There were some coughs coming from the front.
The sound came from the hanging street ahead.
Probably a little too deliberate.
So Li Chenghe raised his head.
On the hanging streets divided by the tall buildings in Sophora Capital, Yuan Yue, the official minister who was neither young nor old, was waiting for him.
To the world, the name Yuan Yue is probably a bit weird, and it sounds a bit like the name of a demon clan.
It's just that the fifty-three-year-old Minister of Libu is indeed a serious person. I heard that he also has an incompetent younger brother named Yuan.
Probably from random naming.
Li Chenghe saw Yuan Yue who had walked to the front at some point and was still waiting for him. He was not too surprised and just walked up from the street building on the side silently.
The two walked slowly in the dusk.
It is not very hot in Sophora Capital in May. At dusk, when the wind blowing through the Rishen Pavilion above slowly falls, it is still a bit refreshing.
Yuan Yue sighed, not knowing whether it was because he felt too comfortable, or whether he was really feeling a little sad.
"My Lord Attendant mentioned today the matter of the students taking the 1003 Great Examination. Does Lord Li have any thoughts?"
Li Chenghe walked steadily and said slowly: "Of course I have many ideas, but such things have always been a matter for the Ministry of Rites and Officials. Whether I have any ideas is naturally irrelevant. Whether Mr. Yuan has any ideas is the matter. is the most important."
Yuan Yue said calmly: "Of course I have no idea."
If the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel really had any ideas, those students from last year would not have been delayed in Huaidu.
The world has always thought that these things are like the decisions of the Ministry of War, which are suppressed by the servants.
Some things are natural.
But in this matter, Yuan Yue really had no idea.
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was born in the other academy in Huaidu instead of Xuanxu Academy, looked up at the twilight sky with mixed clouds.
"Even to this day, the undercurrents in the world have still not really surfaced." Yuan Yue said calmly, "I don't want people to suddenly discover that many years later, the seeds left in the stories brought by the spiritual world will become troubles in the world. When I exist, I will think of those decisions made by the Ministry of Officials in the 1003rd year of Dafeng Li."
Perhaps Hara Etsu was no longer alive by that time.
It's just that the current confusing and unsolved situation in the world still makes this gentleman quite hesitant.
Li Chenghe sighed softly and said, "Yes."
In just one year, the world has become what it is today, which is naturally an extremely serious matter.
The two stopped on Xuan Street and looked down at the crowded Huaidu.
"I heard that the Lord Attendant just met a scholar from Xuanxuyuan yesterday, and today he mentioned the matter of the student becoming an official. This of course has a big problem."
Yuan Yue spoke slowly, frowning deeply.
Even though Shui Zai Ping is a well-known entity, the fog in Huaidu still makes it difficult for them to see many things.
The world of cultivation, the demon clan, and the world are all entangled in such a capital city, so it is naturally difficult to pin down many things.
What's more, now that the Sword Sect in the world has come to have a hand in Huaidu, and Shenhe is not in Huaidu, it is naturally difficult to do so.
Li Chenghe was silent for a while and said, "What's that scholar's name?"
"Zhu Congwen."
Li Chenghe had never heard of such a name and naturally had no clue, so he didn't say anything else.
After a long time, Li Chenghe said softly: "Look at the Heavenly Prison."
Yuan Yue turned his head and looked at Li Chenghe for a long time, and then said slowly: "Your Ministry of War can also do it."
As the person closest to His Majesty in the court today, the servant Shuiziping naturally has the right to reject the decision.
But the Ministry of War naturally has the strength not to accept rejection.
All principles must be stated in the rules.
Li Chenghe fell silent, then sighed, looked up at the night sky, and said softly: "Huang Liang accompanies the replacement of the emperor, and the bloody battle between Xuanxuyuan in the fake capital palace and Wugui Dao, Master Yuan naturally knows about it. But it's just that he also knows about it. It is not a good thing for His Majesty to bring things to such an extent."
Therefore, even though he knew that there was something wrong with the water in the bottle, Li Chenghe, an equally senior Minister of War, still tolerated it silently.
Yuan Yue sighed softly and continued to walk forward.
"Indeed."
If the Ministry of War really does that, the negative impact will be far greater than that of water in a bottle and a pagoda tree.
For such transgressions, the world will not think about what happened to the Ministry of War, but will only speculate whether His Majesty is already old and can no longer control the world.
"So it is probably best for Tianyu and Qingtian Dao to intervene."
Li Chenghe said softly.
The predecessor of Tianyu was Huai'an Town Ghost Division, which was directly affiliated with the confidant organization of Emperor Huai'an.
But the Ministry of War is not.
The Ministry of War is part of the power structure of the human court.
Such a link cannot be separated and left alone.
But Hell can.
As for Qingtian Dao, such a former leader of the Taoist sect has naturally had a profound impact on the entire north.
The world of spiritual practice is alienated and harmonious with the world, and there will naturally not be too much discussion in the world.
The two of them walked quietly, and the twilight that was divided by the tall buildings and hanging streets was already extremely rich.
The sky is outlined by a pale moon.
Yuan Yue squinted his eyes and looked at the sloping platform from a distance, which was so far away that it was almost shimmering in the mist of dusk.
Li Chenghe also looked there.
The world may think that it is extremely embarrassing for many sword cultivators from the Human Sword Sect to stay on the oblique platform.
It seems like I can't advance and I can't retreat.
But Li Chenghe and the others knew it very well.
The one who is in a dilemma is Huaidu.
Those who have sunk themselves in the human world for a long time, and most of them have even forgotten their names, even if they are just sitting there.
Huaidu could only treat it as cautiously as possible.
In other words, when those high-level sword cultivators appeared in Huaidu, such a capital was already in danger.
the reason is simple.
The battlefield is Huaidu.
No matter how powerful Huaidu is in suppressing half of the cultivation world, this is Huaidu after all.
Most of the world.
The place where the emperor lives.
The whole world is within the range of Yi's bow, but none of them are there.
It is impossible for Yi's bow to fall towards Huaidu.
So at the bank of Qishui, Cong Ren only used a very simple word to make Kamigawa stop taking the sword.
One sword struck Nan Yi, and the other fell towards Huaidu.
Although the sword cultivator in white finally broke his promise and did not do so.
It's just obvious that if the cultivation world really doesn't care, Huai can defeat half of the cultivation world, which is probably the most ridiculous joke of Dafeng Dynasty.
What really overwhelms the spiritual world is the young man who does not deceive the world and the worship of the world set by Kamikawa that have been passed down since the Han Valley Kan era.
"His Majesty......"
Yuan Yue said softly, but seemed extremely hesitant and looked over there for a long time.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said with confusion: "For what reason did Your Majesty break up with the Human Sword Sect? Even Xuansheyuan was forced to rebel?"
The Human Sword Sect is naturally a very troublesome existence in Huai'an, and the same is true for Xuansheyuan.
Although the purpose of such an academy, which originated from the Huangliang ballad style, is to educate the world, it has also been implementing this concept for thousands of years.
It's just that whether it's the rebellion in the south or the suppression of witches and ghosts in the fake capital, they all prove to the world the strength of such an academy that teaches everything.
Li Chenghe was silent. Naturally, it was impossible for him to know about such a thing.
Maybe even the waiter at the door doesn't know what the water is in the bottle.
Probably the only person in Huaidu who can make any guesses is the Heavenly Prison Master Liu Qinghe who smiles gently and looks at the white flowers all day long.
Look at the whitest flowers, be the gentlest person, but set the most cruel rules of wrongful killing quota in the world.
The only man in black robes with gold patterns who can personally hold a bow of Yi, it is difficult for the world to see clearly what kind of person he is.
Li Chenghe was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "I don't know. Anyway, Heaven is watching, so we can feel less pressure."
But the Minister of War did not know that while Liu Qinghe and Song Yingxin were eating tea eggs, he said that the world would watch together anyway.
It may be similar to some jokes about Huangliang Xuanxuyuan. Such a Xuanxuyuan, which is only classified in Huangliang, has always had a very strange tradition. The gentlemen from the lower-level Xuanxuyuan will say that this knowledge is not urgent and will be taught to you when you are promoted to the higher-level Xuanxuyuan. When you get to the higher level Xuanxuyuan, the gentlemen will say, you should have already learned these things, so we won’t talk about them anymore.
The two stood there for a long time.
There seemed to be a swordsman on the slanting platform who noticed the sight of the two from a distance and looked over in those sword intentions.
Yuan Yue looked at that distant sight quietly.
The sword cultivator who looked over was named Shan Zhaoshui.
The two are similar in age.
It's just that the distance between them is not three years apart, nor is it separated by a long twilight street in Huaidadu.
It is the distance between the human world and the spiritual world.
It’s just that whether they are ordinary people or practitioners, the one thing they always have in common is that they are all beings nurtured by this land.
Therefore, there were no sparks in the sight of the two, and there would be no sparks.
Shan Zhaoshui, as a six-fold sword cultivator, is a very high-level existence in the entire world of practice. Naturally, he can clearly see such a minister of the Ministry of official affairs hanging above the street.
But Yuan Yue couldn't do it. He just vaguely felt that someone was looking at him among the oblique platforms in the clouds and mist.
So the sights that seemed to meet, but were actually missed in the distance, were withdrawn and fell to other parts of the world.
It will be night in the world.
The chat between the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of War also slowly stopped.
The two of them walked down the hanging street with their own concerns about the human world and left separately.
Li Chenghe was still walking slowly along the long street in the world, so when he passed through an alley leading to his mansion, the old man stopped.
There was a very black umbrella in the alley, and an expressionless young man under the umbrella with a sword on his back.
...
The alley is certainly a great place.
It is not as lively as the long street, nor does it have as many defenses as the mansion.
It can be used to handle many plots very easily and effortlessly.
Chen He has always liked places like this.
Maybe when a young man like that walked around in certain places, he would always encounter some alleys like this. Lanterns were hung at the entrances of the alleys, and the orange lights could not shine in. So those dark alleys gave rise to many strange things. daydream.
So when I was giving advice to the young man, I kept imagining various scenarios.
For example, sitting on the wall watching the sunset and drinking, saying that you are finally here.
Sometimes when Xu Chunhua walks through such an alley, she will think of many plots in the story written by Chen He.
For example, in a dark alley, suddenly someone carrying a lantern and a sword hung the lantern on the treetop, and then killed the person with a sword.
Of course, this can easily cause small-town girls to have a lot of fearful emotions.
That's why Xu Chunhua was so panicked when she first saw the young man holding an umbrella and carrying a sword in the alley.
But after sitting in the yard in front of the stove fire for a long time today, this small town girl always felt a little uneasy.
Always looking outside the wall, or listening with open ears to see if there are any footsteps.
Unfortunately, the alley is very quiet at night. Occasionally, some figures pass by, and the footsteps they bring are slow and dull, not at all like the footsteps that a young man should have.
Even though she had seen the young man with her own eyes, Xu Chunhua's 'stereotypical' impression of Nandao was still that of carrying a sword through the clouds and killing Chen Yunxi with one sword.
But how should someone who can kill Chen Yunxi with one sword walk?
This probably touches on Xu Chunhua’s knowledge blind spot.
Meixiyu is a cultivator of the Great Dao with a very high realm in the human world.
It's just that such a Taoist often walked or sat quietly by the stream outside the small town of Qingtian Road, which didn't give Xu Chunhua any idea of what kind of practitioner he was.
Xu Chunhua came back to her senses and found that she seemed to be thinking wildly recently.
The small town girl sighed, thought about it, and decided to take a look in the alley. So she stood up, picked up an oil lamp, walked through the yard, walked to the door of the yard, fumbled and opened the door, and then The probe looked outside.
Only Xu Chunhua poked her head out and froze there.
It turned out that the boy was actually in the alley, holding an umbrella and standing quietly at the entrance of the alley looking at the long street outside.
It's as if nothing happened.
It was exactly the same scene as what Xu Chunhua saw the night before yesterday.
The only difference is that the young man is carrying a sword behind his back and holding a sword in his other hand.
The sword was slightly unsheathed, emitting a cool light in the night.
Xu Chunhua looked at the sword in the young man's hand very carefully, but maybe it was too far away, and the small town girl didn't see anything like blood on it.
So maybe the thing about sharpening swords under the moon and killing people by asking questions is actually just Chen He's nonsense?
Xu Chunhua thought so.
But the young man seemed to notice that the woman in the small courtyard was coming out. He shook the sword in his hand and put it back into the sheath. The sword was three inches out, which was probably where the young man had silently looked at the sword before. .
Xu Chunhua stood at the entrance of the courtyard holding an oil lamp. She looked at the young man who put away his sword and turned around, looking at her quietly. She thought for a moment and asked, "Where have you been today?"
The young man looked at her quietly for a while and said in a very calm voice: "I have been wandering around Huaidu for a long time."
Xu Chunhua said "Oh".
When the late night wind blew through those busy long streets, it also brought some chill.
The small town girl looked at the young man standing silently at the entrance of the alley, hesitated a little, and said, "Come in and rest."
The courtyard is Chen He's courtyard.
The young man is Chen He's friend.
Maybe it’s because we’ve known each other for a long time in the book.
This small town girl's wariness towards such a boy gradually disappeared.
The young man stood there in silence for a while, then walked over with his sword in his arms.
Naturally, the boy under the umbrella has nowhere to go.
It seems like I can't go anywhere, not even the original Nanke Town.
So I can go anywhere.
