Simple ingredients and simple combinations create a completely different taste.
Sometimes food is really magical. Even after trying it once, you can realize the magic.
At least at this moment, the aroma of egg fried rice spreads in Zhao Xun's mouth and dances on the tip of his tongue. Zhao Xun can appreciate the delicious feeling of the combination of ingredients.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan feels similar.
All in all, everyone feels that although this egg fried rice has simple ingredients and simple preparation, it gives people a feeling that they can't stop eating it.
"Okay, I'm finally full."
After eating two whole bowls of egg fried rice, Zhao Xun touched his round belly and burped happily.
Sometimes it is true that only home-cooked food can satisfy you, but those fancy dishes will make people feel ethereal.
Sometimes it affects people's appetite.
"Junior brother, please tell me why the human prince suspected that the orcs were moles."
"That's a long story."
Zhao Xun told the story told to him by the human prince Harry Postman again to the third brother and the sixth brother.
Of course, it has been streamlined and refined. Otherwise, if one followed Prince Harry Bosman's lecture, no one would be afraid that it would be endless.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so this is really interesting."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan rubbed his palms and said very curiously: "Looking at it this way, Prince Harry Boseman is actually justified. Of course, he has no direct evidence that the orcs are violating taboos and becoming traitors.
.We can’t deny the current generation of orcs just because of the mistakes our ancestors made.”
Zhao Xun quite agrees with the argument made by Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan.
Never blindly think that I am a hero and my son is a good man, and I am a hero and my son is a bastard.
Maybe the previous half-orcs did make a lot of mistakes, but maybe the current half-orcs have experienced a lot and finally realized it?
Emotionality is something that everyone has to face. How to handle this level of relationship well can reflect whether a person is smart or not.
"Well, of course, I will investigate this matter further. Again, I will not wrongly accuse a good person, and I will never let a bad person go."
Zhao Xun has his own principles and judgment on this.
His faith determines that he will not give up on anyone easily.
This includes Orcs.

...
Western Region.
Master Hui'an looked intently at the city not far away.
The Western Region Allied Forces have gathered in the outskirts of the Anxi Protectorate.
This area was originally under the absolute control of the Anxi Army. However, after a series of tentative battles, the entire Anxi Army has now been forced to retreat to the rear.
To subjugate an enemy's troops without fighting is the highest level of military use.
Master Hui'an felt very happy at this moment.
The Anxi Army is indeed a rabble.
He had never felt such pleasure.
Because this means that before long, the Western Regions will be the Western Regions of the Western Regions people, and will have nothing to do with these bastards from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He and Master Huiyan have always held different views on the development of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions.
Master Huiyan believed that in order for Tantra Buddhism in the Western Regions to truly flourish, it must rely on the power of the Central Plains dynasty and the help of the Central Plains emperors.
Only if the emperor of the Central Plains provided sufficient support could they really have a chance to carry forward Tantric Buddhism throughout the Western Regions.
But Master Hui'an doesn't see it that way.
In Master Hui'an's view, the best and simplest way to develop Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions is to rely on war.
War is a cure-all for ending problems.
If there is no urgency, send troops.
Are you not convinced? Beat him until you are convinced.
Didn’t the Central Plains dynasty also adhere to this principle when expanding?
Let’s not talk about far away, let’s talk about the Zhou Dynasty. At its peak, its territory almost included the entire thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Under such circumstances, all the countries in the Western Regions must willingly accept the Great Zhou as their suzerain state.
Why?
Master Hui'an was the first to refuse.
Especially now that the Zhou Dynasty is in decline, countries in the Western Regions should unite to resist powerful enemies.
The enemy was once very powerful, but it will become stronger.
Many times the enemy's strength is in the past.
Many times people are always scaring themselves.
Master Hui'an now urgently hopes that the countries in the Western Regions can prove themselves and prove that they have the absolute strength to expel the Zhou army and the Anxi army!
Although this requires a lot of casualties, in Master Hui'an's opinion it is worth it.
Only by showing his fists can others know that he is not easy to bully. Only by showing his fists can others know that the countries in the Western Region have the ability to control their own destiny.
If you don't accept it, I'll beat you until you do.
If you don't accept it, I'll chase you and beat you!
At this moment, Master Hui'an really wished he could lead this coalition army to fight all the way to Chang'an.
What would it be like if we could really lead our troops to attack Chang'an directly?
Master Hui'an found it a bit unimaginable.
But one thing is for sure, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty would be so scared that he wet his pants, right?
These emperors who were born in the Central Plains dynasty are all a bunch of losers, and they don't do anything except playing with women all day long.
They are fat-headed, ambitious and lacking in talent, but they still think that they are the so-called sons of destiny.
Why?
Is it because of their big faces?
It's simply a joke.
At this moment, Master Hui'an really wanted to slap Emperor Zhou's face into a pig's head.
"Come on, since you don't accept it, let's fight openly and honestly. Let's see who is the real king. A brave man will not be afraid, and a brave man will not flinch!"
...
...
Shazhou City.
Liu Lin, the Great Protector of Anxi, led his army to arrive outside the city.
The defenders of the Anxi Army immediately opened the city gate when they saw it was Liu Lin.
Liu Lin was exhausted from the forced march from Chang'an all the way through the starry night.
After he jumped off his horse, he immediately ordered the whole army to eat.
After eating, they would rest overnight in Shazhou City, replenish food, horse feed, and drink water, and then set off again to the Western Regions early the next morning.
It took him a long time to finally convince the Emperor to allow him to go to the Western Regions.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor had the intention of giving up the Western Regions.
This made Liu Lin feel very scared.
It is self-evident to know the importance of the Western Regions.
If the Western Region is lost, the entire Hexi Corridor will face enemy erosion.
If the Hexi Corridor cannot be protected, Chang'an City and the entire Yongzhou may be attacked by enemy forces at any time.
This is a series of chain reactions.
So Liu Lin was very happy that the Emperor finally listened to his advice.
The Western Regions cannot be given up no matter what!
This time, the number of soldiers and horses Liu Lin brought was still a bit small, only 60,000.
Even if the 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind to guard the Anxi Protectorate are included, the total number can only be 80,000.
Eighty thousand people can be said to be the minimum number of the Anxi Army in its period. Although it is barely enough, it will still be somewhat stretched when facing a strong enemy.
But Liu Lin knew that this was inevitable.
After all, it is not easy for His Majesty the Emperor to agree to him leading his troops to the Western Regions at this time.
It is understandable that His Majesty the Emperor decided to keep most of the troops in Gyeonggi for the sake of the security of the Gyeonggi area.
At this moment, Liu Lin eagerly hoped to lead most of the Anxi Army to join the remaining troops of the Anxi Army.
Those soldiers and brothers who stayed behind in the Anxi Protectorate sacrificed a lot and were willing to give up the opportunity to return to Chang'an to reunite with their families, just to protect the fire in Anxi. Because where they are, that is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Liu Lin understood at this moment that the sooner he arrived in Anxi, the sooner those brothers and soldiers would be safe.
On the contrary, if he arrives late, the brothers may be in danger.
After all, the thirty-six countries in the Western Region have always been dissatisfied with the Anxi Army, and they have organized coalition forces to fight with the Anxi Army more than once.
Although the Anxi Army won more and lost less, it also suffered several disastrous defeats.
Liu Lin was deeply impressed by these disastrous defeats.
In order to prevent the same thing from happening again, Liu Lin must force himself to become stronger.
It is impossible for a person to fall twice in the same place, especially for a general who is commanding an army.
Maintaining absolute focus, maintaining absolute calmness, and maintaining absolute courage are what Liu Lin must possess.
From the moment he decided to lead his brothers from the Anxi Army back to the Western Regions, Liu Lin vowed to personally take back what they had lost.
He doesn't want to prove anything, he just wants to let those small countries in the Western Region understand that your uncle will always be your uncle.
Never think about betraying Zhou, just obey him honestly.
Many of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions still have their hearts set on the Great Zhou Dynasty, but some small countries have rebellion behind them, and they have repeatedly encouraged these small countries who have their hearts set on the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Under their instigation, the attitudes of these small countries that were interested in the Great Zhou also quietly changed.
It can be said that this is a typical case of one mouse droppings spoiling the whole pot of porridge.
Liu Lin decided to teach them a lesson and let them understand the consequences of offending Da Zhou.
Dazhou is not something that some small countries can offend.
Since they have done it, they must pay the price for what they did in the first place.
At this moment, Liu Lin couldn't wait to prove his strength.
Of course, he also understood that with the current strength of the Anxi Army, it could only concentrate its forces to attack one place.
If you think about blooming everywhere, it is likely that the final result will be no blooming anywhere.
As for the Shazhou Army...
Liu Lin really wanted to bring the Shazhou Army to Anxi.
But he knew he couldn't do this.
There are two main reasons. One is that if he does this, the court will definitely have objections.
His Majesty the Emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
If Liu Lin does this, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely get the information immediately.
When that time comes, an imperial edict of accountability will come down, and Liu Lin will definitely not be able to bear it.
His Majesty the Emperor values loyalty extremely.
If Liu Lin took away the troops stationed on Shazhou without warning, perhaps in the eyes of His Majesty, this would be no different from treason.
Therefore, although Liu Lin wanted to do so in his heart, he could never take Shazhou's soldiers away.
He could only use the 60,000 soldiers that His Majesty the Emperor agreed to take with him, and the 20,000 brothers who stayed at the Anxi Protectorate.
Eighty thousand people, if you use them in a pinch, it will be enough.
Many times Liu Lin thought that if he was given enough opportunities, he should be able to expand his territory and bring the area west of the Western Regions into the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But now that I think about it, his idea was indeed a bit reckless.
Not to mention whether he can really lead his troops to take down these places. Even if he can really do this, it will not be easy to hold this vast area with their current strength.
The most important issue is supplies.
It's thousands of miles from Chang'an to Hexi, and it's thousands of miles from Hexi to Anxi.
It’s another few thousand miles from Anxi to the river.
This has been a journey of tens of thousands of miles.
With such a long journey, supply will be a difficult problem to solve.
If the supply problem is not solved well, it will be difficult to deal with expansion head-on.
If soldiers don't have enough to eat, they won't have the fighting spirit to fight.
After all, it is only natural for everyone to serve as soldiers and eat food.
If the soldiers really didn't have enough to eat, even Liu Lin himself would not be embarrassed to order the soldiers to go on an expedition.
Sometimes people still need to think a little more.
Liu Lin is a martial artist. Sometimes he gets hot-headed and lacks comprehensiveness when thinking about problems.
He also knows this problem of his own, so he will try his best to adjust and avoid these problems as much as possible.
But if you want to be truly foolproof, you still need someone around you to remind you more.
So this time he brought a counselor with him.
This person is Jia Xingwen.
Jia Xingwen originally worked for a bad person, but later decided to quit the bad person due to various reasons.
Although he quit being a bad person, he is still active around Chang'an.
Later, on the recommendation of the bad handsome man Feng Hao, Jia Xingwen joined Liu Lin and became one of Liu Lin's advisers.
Liu Lin naturally had great trust in Feng Hao.
The two of them had fought side by side in the Western Regions, and it could be said that they had a fateful friendship.
The people recommended by Feng Hao will naturally not be that bad.
Although he had not been with Jia Xingwen for a long time, Liu Lin had gradually discovered the advantages of this person.
Jia Xingwen's greatest advantage is that he has an innocent heart.
He has no evil intentions and can consider everything from the overall situation.
This alone is very rare.
Jia Xingwen and Feng Hao seemed to have a good personal relationship. Jia Xingwen would often bring up some interesting past experiences in Chang'an with Liu Lin.
Gradually, Liu Lin discovered that Jia Xingwen was capable of dealing with people.
He not only regarded Jia Xingwen as a staff member and subordinate, but also regarded him as a friend.
There are not many people in this world that we can truly consider as friends.
If there is, then you must cherish it.
The person Jia Xingwen mentioned the most was Zhao Xun.
Liu Lin had heard Feng Hao mention it occasionally before.
Liu Lin would not be interested in Zhao Xun before, but now that Zhao Xun is a famous figure all over the world, Liu Lin is very interested in him.
"Daduhu, you summoned me?"
After settling down and resting in the official residence of Shazhou City, Liu Lin summoned Jia Xingwen.
"Well, Xingwen, sit down."
After signaling Jia Xingwen to sit down next to him, Liu Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Tell me about Zhao Xun, what do you think is the most special thing about him?"
Originally, Jia Xingwen was a taciturn character after joining the army, and rarely spoke actively.
But when Liu Lin mentioned Zhao Xun, he suddenly started talking.
"Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun is really a very special person. If we must find something special about him, I think it is his responsibility. When facing danger, when facing difficulties, Zhao Xun will not show any signs of failure.
Hesitation. When facing the enemy, Zhao Xun will always be the first one. What I say is not to praise him, but what I have learned from fighting side by side with him for so many years. A person must always be responsible to last long.
Growing up, one must always ask for something before he can achieve anything. Zhao Xun is definitely a person worth getting to know deeply."
Jia Xingwen used to observe Liu Lin's face.
This is the job that a staff member should do.
If you can't serve well even at the top, you won't be able to be a good staff member.
In order to serve Shangfeng well, the first thing to do is to find out what Shangfeng is thinking and what he is thinking about.
Only by knowing these things can you do what you want.
As for observing words and expressions, it is even more important.
If a staff member cannot observe his words and actions, he is not far away from being fired.
But today, when talking about Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen actually did not observe his words.
He spoke eloquently and completely followed his own instincts. He relied on his own instincts to recount Zhao Xun's past.
Now that I think about it, every moment he spent with Zhao Xun is worth remembering.
Those beautiful moments are worth freezing.
"So if you were given another chance, would you still resign for Zhao Xun?"
Liu Lin knew the reason why Jia Xingwen resigned.
After Zhao Xun beheaded the King of Wei, he resigned in anger and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.
At that time, Jia Xingwen made up his mind to follow Zhao Xun's footsteps and resign.
Since Zhao Xun didn't even bother to be an official, Jia Xingwen didn't even bother to be an official anymore.
"Yes, if I am given another chance, I will still resign."
"Wonderful, wonderful. This general has indeed conquered a thousand-mile horse."
Liu Lin was very satisfied with Jia Xingwen's attitude.
In the final analysis, it is because Jia Xingwen attaches great importance to feelings and trustworthiness.
As a counselor, ability is secondary; the most important thing is trustworthiness.
"So what do you think the general's chances of winning are when he leads his army to Anxi this time?"
Faced with Liu Lin's questioning, Jia Xingwen first remained silent.
Then he cleared his throat and said: "May I ask, Protector General, what kind of victory are you referring to? If you are referring to sticking to the Protectorate of Anxi and ensuring the stability of the Anxi area, I think the chance of victory is at least 90%. If
We want to regain the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. I forgive my subordinates for speaking frankly. The chance of winning should be less than 50%."
Liu Lin had a bitter look on his face, but he had forgotten that Jia Xingwen had another characteristic, that is, telling the truth.
Since Liu Lin accepted Jia Xingwen and made him his staff, he must accept Jia Xingwen's strengths and weaknesses.
At present, it seems that Jia Xingwen’s advantages and disadvantages are equal.
"If it's only 50%, do I still need to stick to this obsession, General?"
Liu Lin's condition was not very good and he was a little depressed.
At this moment, Jia Xingwen returned to the state of observing words and expressions.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. As the saying goes, do your best to obey fate. You can give it a try with all your strength. As for whether you can get what you want, no one knows. But since the protector's heart is where your heart is, you must do your best.
Try your best. Zhao Xun once said to me that life is short and you only have one life. You must try your best to fight and struggle without any hesitation. Otherwise, you will definitely have regrets.
of."
"Well..."
At this moment, Liu Lin heard Jia Xingwen take the initiative to mention Zhao Xun, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. But this seemed to be a good thing.
At least it shows that Jia Xingwen is a person who values love and justice.
Isn't it something worth celebrating to have a counselor who values love and justice?
"So you think this general should attack the thirty-six countries in the Western Region?"
"Anyone who offends our great Zhou Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away they are."
Jia Xingwen then uttered a sentence.
After Liu Lin heard this sentence, all the muscles in his body began to tremble.
He silently recited what Jia Xingwen said just now.
"Anyone who offends our Great Zhou Heavenly Power will be punished no matter how far away he is. Anyone who offends our Great Zhou Heavenly Power will be punished no matter how far away he is... Well said, well said. Xingwen, your words are really perfect."
"Reporting to the Protector-General, this sentence was also said by Zhao Xun. My subordinates just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha."
"Well..."
Liu Lin felt a little embarrassed for a while.
He really didn't expect it would be Zhao Xun again!
This Zhao Xun is really everywhere!
"Wonderful man, Zhao Xun is really a wonderful man. A person who can say such words must be a passionate man with ideals and revenge. This general admires such a person."
It is very dangerous to say such things in front of others.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the relationship between Zhao Xun and today's emperor has collapsed beyond repair.
To admire Zhao Xun is to slap Emperor Xianlong in the face!
Of course, there are no outsiders here, and Jia Xingwen is Liu Lin's staff, so he can express his feelings.
"It's a pity that such a person cannot join the army, otherwise he would definitely be able to make great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty."
"Daduhu, my subordinates feel that Zhao Xun is also protecting the people of Zhou in his own way. What Zhao Xun protects is not the royal family, not the court, and not the emperor. What he protects is the common people of the world, the common people of Li. The corruptors are right now.
Zi Zai attacked Zhongnan Mountain. As we all know, Zhongnan Mountain is the barrier of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Chang'an. If Zhongnan Mountain is lost, Chang'an will definitely be lost. At that time, the people of Chang'an City will become fish on the chopping board and can be slaughtered at any time!
Zhao Xun will not retreat, and the academy will not retreat. In the eyes of my subordinates, this is a better choice than joining the army."
Jia Xingwen's words made Liu Lin's expression darken.
Well said, very well said.
"This general is biased. Just follow me and work hard, and I will definitely protect you from a bright future. As for Zhao Xun, let him protect the people of the world in his own way."
...
...
"Brother Mingyun, Brother Mingyun, I'm here again..."
The little fat man Wangcai appeared in the academy, which really shocked Zhao Xun.
"Wangcai, why are you here? It's not peaceful outside. Are you risking your life by coming to Zhongnan Mountain at this time?"
"Oh, Brother Mingyun, just relax. I'm not stupid. How could I come if there was really danger?"
Wangcai patted his chest and said: "Actually, I came here with Taoist Qinglian. Didn't Taoist Qinglian return to Qinglian Temple yesterday? I happened to meet him in Leyouyuan, so I begged him to take me back.
Zhongnan Mountain, brought it back to the academy."
I see!
Zhao Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Prosperous wealth, prosperous wealth, really clever.
My mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi did return to Chang'an City yesterday.
I just didn't expect to meet Wangcai by chance.
Wangcai probably had to work hard and do what he wanted and promised his mentor, Taoist Priest Qinglian, a lot of benefits. Taoist Qinglian finally agreed to bring Wangcai back to Zhongnan Mountain.
It's not easy, it's really not easy.
Of course, flying with a sword and flying with a fat man is still very tiring.
Therefore, it is natural that Zhao Xun should reward his mentor, Taoist Priest Qinglian, including the little fat man's fortune.
"Speaking of which, why did you come to see me suddenly?"
"Hey, hey, what else can I do? Of course it's about publishing a book."
"Publish a book?"
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Don't forget my current identity. I offended the emperor, and my pen name has been banned long ago."
Wangcai said indifferently: "Can a living person be choked to death by urine? The Dog Emperor has banned your pen name, so just change it to another one. There is always a solution."
Of course Zhao Xun understood this truth, and the reason why he said that was actually an excuse.
The main reason is that there have been too many things going on in Zhongnan Mountain recently, and Zhao Xun really can't bear it anymore.
"Well, how should I put it? The current situation is a bit special. There are no good books in the bookstore. If Brother Mingyun doesn't write a basic book to save the market, my bookstore will suffer losses."
Seeing that Zhao Xun was still unmoved, the little fat man Wangcai had no choice but to resort to the bitter trick.
Zhao Xun was dumbfounded when he saw him acting coquettishly.
To be honest, even if the Wangcai family's bookshop loses money, what does it have to do with him?
"No, if your bookstore is losing money, it has nothing to do with me..."
"Why doesn't it matter!"
As soon as I heard this, Wangcai quit.
"Brother Mingyun, don't forget, you also bought shares in my bookstore."
"Um?"
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.
"Is that so?"
"Of course it is, I will send you dividend money every month."
Wangcai rolled his eyes as he spoke: "Brother Mingyun, your memory can't be so bad, right?"
"Oh, that seems to be what happened."
Zhao Xun recalled these details and said with a wry smile: "If that's the case, it seems that the loss of your bookstore will indeed affect my dividends."
Zhao Xun spread his hands helplessly and said: "So, I need to write one more best-selling book to help your bookstore tide over the difficulties. Is that what you mean?"
"That's right, Brother Mingyun is really a sensible person. That's what I mean."
Seeing that Zhao Xun finally understood what he meant, Wangcai started excitedly: "With Brother Mingyun's talent, it's easy to write a fire book. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to write it, it will be publicity."
It's all up to me. I don't have the ability to make a fortune, but I have great marketing skills. I will definitely be able to make your new pen name popular. Don't be afraid of new pen names. As long as you are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to make it popular.
of."
Of course, Wangcai also knows that the premise of all this is that the quality of the writing is high.
If the quality is really bad, then no matter how much money you spend, it won't become a big hit.
"Um..."
"So, brother Mingyun, have you decided what subject to write about?"
Wangcai seemed to be afraid that Zhao Xun would go back on his word, like a dog-skin plaster that stuck on and refused to be taken off.
"Uh... I haven't written anything for a long time, and I don't know much about today's market. Do you know the situation? What themes are more popular now?"
Zhao Xun's words were not intended to deceive Wangcai.
It has indeed been a long time since he wrote a book.
I haven’t written anything for a long time and I don’t understand the market situation at all.
In this case, Zhao Xun should still seek Wangcai's advice.
"Uh, well..."
Wang Cai scratched his head and said: "It's more popular that men and women love to fall in love. It has long been a fantasy novel. Your Liaozhai is really popular. It's a pity, it's a pity that it was banned by the Dog Emperor. Now
Nowadays, even if I change my pen name, I won’t be able to write the sequel to Liaozhai, otherwise I will be discovered by the Dog Emperor, and my bookstore will also be closed down by then. So to be on the safe side, I’d better stop writing fantasy novels and just write about romance.
Theme."
Well, romance novels are quite difficult.
Of course, nothing can stump Zhao Xun, as long as Zhao Xun is willing to show some attitude.
"Okay, let's just write about love."
Zhao Xun still has something in mind.
There are many love-themed novels, such as Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the West Chamber.
These are all popular love novels. If you write any one of them, it will definitely become popular in Chang'an.
The most important thing is that the styles of these books are completely different from the strange novels Zhao Xun wrote before - the Liaozhai series.
Even if Emperor Xianlong, the dog emperor, picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it, he would not be able to tell that the author of the love novel was Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun has rich experience in fighting against Emperor Xianlong. As long as he is given a chance, he can play with Emperor Xianlong like a monkey.
"That's great. I'm relieved to see that Brother Mingyun knows what's going on. To be honest, after you were banned by the Dog Emperor, the performance of my bookshop has plummeted. I watched the bookshop not making any money, and it was getting thinner and thinner. You
Look, my face is completely deflated."
"..."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that after not seeing each other for a few days, Wangcai's face became even thicker.
He had the nerve to say that his face was flat... Why didn't he say that his stomach was flat...
But it seems that Wangcai's wallet is really deflated, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to come to Zhao Xun to save the market.
Of course, Zhao Xun is also a principled person.
At present, generally speaking, the speed of writing love-themed novels should not be too fast. It is not that Zhao Xun wants to delay the manuscript, but if he writes too fast, readers will lack pleasure in reading.
After all, romance novels are different from other novels, what they want is that feeling of boredom.
Therefore, Zhao Xun must control the rhythm and intensity well so that readers can follow the story.
After all, once you put down this kind of book, you won't want to pick it up again.
"Well...since I'm going to start writing a book again, there are a few things I need to make clear to you in advance."
Zhao Xun cleared his throat and said.
"Brother Mingyun, please speak."
Wangcai is quite responsible.
In his opinion, as long as Zhao Xun agrees to write a book, everything else can be easily discussed.
"Uh... That's it. I can write a book, but it's due once every ten days, and you can't rush it."
"Easy to say, easy to say. Brother Mingyun, you can just hand in the manuscript once every ten days. By the way, Brother Mingyun, how many manuscripts are you going to hand in on the tenth?"
"Uh... one chapter?"
Zhao Xun was not very confident when he said this. As expected, Wangcai was furious after hearing this.
"One chapter? No, no, I'm not telling you. The number is really too small. Brother Mingyun, there must be three or five chapters. You have forgotten the model we used to cooperate.
?I print out pamphlets, one at a time. With three or five chapters, I can barely print out a pamphlet. How can you tell me to print it after one chapter?"
Seeing Wangcai's bitter face, Zhao Xun did feel a little embarrassed.
"It seems that one chapter is a bit too little to submit at one time... How about... three chapters?"
Zhao Xun certainly didn't want to submit five chapters at once. That meant he had to write one chapter in two days. This was not a small amount.
And if he submits three chapters at once, he can write one chapter in three days, which is relatively less stressful.
"Okay, three chapters will be enough. Although it's still a little short, it's better than one chapter."
Wangcai reluctantly accepted Zhao Xun's plan.
After all, he was the one begging Zhao Xun for the market now, so he couldn't be too harsh in his demands.
"Well, that's it. By the way, how is Chang'an City doing now?"
"That's great. Why did Brother Mingyun say this?"
"It's not the Corruptors who are causing trouble."
Zhao Xun said with a bitter look on his face: "You don't know yet, do you? The Corruptors are now besieging Zhongnan Mountain. It seems that they are at war with the academy. I really don't know when this battle will end."
"This is what you're talking about..."
Wangcai swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "I have heard about this matter to some extent. I heard that the Dog Emperor and the Corruptor reached some agreement, so the Corruptor not only would not attack Chang'an City, but even talked to the Dog Emperor
We have become allies and want to deal with the academy together."
"I've heard about this too."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "But I think the Corruptors may not abide by the agreement. They probably just want to use the Dog Emperor. They will first use the Dog Emperor's power to deal with the Academy. After all, the Academy is the hardest nut to crack. Once the Academy is captured by them
After conquering it, they will probably turn around and deal with the Dog Emperor. It's a pity that the Dog Emperor can't understand the situation at all, and he was sold to someone else to count the money."
"Brother Mingyun's words are really insightful. Why didn't I think of that?"
Wangcai shook his head and said: "Well, we don't know what the Dog Emperor is thinking, but one thing is for sure. The Dog Emperor is currently very close to Master Huiyan. This monk from the Western Regions is said to be in the realm of the Vajra Grandmaster. This great
I don’t know what the word “King Kong” in front of “Grandmaster” means.”
Well...
Zhao Xun thought that it was really difficult to give popular science knowledge to a novice practitioner. The key is that Wangcai didn’t seem to be able to understand it.
Instead of spending energy on this aspect, Zhao Xun might as well talk to Wangcai about other things.
"By the way Wangcai, I heard that Brother Jia Xingwen and Jia followed Liu Lin and Liu Dadu to the Western Regions?"
Zhao Xun heard some rumors, but was never sure.
So he wanted to ask Wangcai for confirmation.
"Yes, Brother Jia left probably a few months ago. He didn't dare to tell you when he left."
Wang Cai swallowed his saliva and said: "It was Mr. Feng Hao and Mr. Feng who made the connection to introduce this matter. I must say that Mr. Feng is still responsible. Although the three of us have left the bad people's yamen, he has always
We treat ourselves as one of our own. There is no difference between us and the dog emperor."
Zhao Xun nodded.
From the moment he entered the Bad People's Yamen, Zhao Xun could feel that Mr. Feng Haofeng was a very responsible person.
Maybe other people don't feel that way, but Zhao Xun has always been convinced that following Mr. Feng will lead to meat.
Although the three brothers Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen and Wangcai were forced to leave the bad guys because of Emperor Xianlong, Lord Feng Haofeng did not draw a clear line with them because of this.
Instead, he helped find a new home for Brother Jia Xingwenjia.
I have heard of Liu Lin and Zhao Xun. He is an upright and responsible man.
Brother Jia followed him to the Western Regions, and Zhao Xun was relieved.
"Brother Jia has a background in martial arts. He has some experience. Follow General Liu to the Western Regions and hope to make some achievements."
Now that Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen are thousands of miles apart, the only thing he can do is to give Jia Xingwen his blessing.
I hope the mountains are high and the road is far, Brother Jia, keep on working hard all the way.
"Um..."
Wangcai nodded and said: "Brother Mingyun, sometimes I really think about how we can really reunite the three of us. I'm afraid it won't be difficult anymore. The two of us are fine, but Jia
My eldest brother is thousands of miles away, so it would be too difficult to reunite him."
"Look at how depressed you are."
Zhao Xun rolled his eyes at Wangcai angrily.
"If you really want to reunite, there is a way. If you really can't, you can just use teleportation. Although we are thousands of miles apart, using teleportation can only happen in an instant. As long as everyone is in the same heart, we can get together if we want to.
It’s easy to get together.”
Zhao Xun paused for a moment and said: "But right now we do have more important things to do. Brother Jia needs to conquer the Western Regions, and I need to guard Zhongnan Mountain and guard the academy. Do you know that this Corruptor Alliance is very cruel?
.If they take Zhongnan Mountain and defeat the Academy, Satan will be summoned. Satan is also called the God of Darkness and is an extremely scary guy. He will bring destruction to the world and bring death and darkness to the world. No matter what,
We must also try our best to stop him and never let him do whatever he wants."
"Uh...Is this Satan really so scary?"
Wangcai had always been very timid, but when Zhao Xun was so frightened, he shrank his neck.
"Of course, so you'd better stop running around during this period. Either go back to Chang'an, or simply stay in the academy."
Zhao Xun swallowed and spat: "As for the manuscript, it can be transferred using teleportation. It will not affect it."
Wangcai nodded and said: "Then just follow what Brother Mingyun said, I will stay in the academy during this period."
"Haha, this is the best."
Zhao Xun paused and said: "Actually, the academy is a pretty nice place for you to have fun. You didn't have a lot of fun when you came last time, so I will try my best to help you have fun this time.
Some. If you want to play, just tell me."
Zhao Xun acted like a big brother at this moment. Since Wangcai likes to play, he should take Wangcai to play with him.
Anyway, I'm stuck in the academy all day long and can't get out anywhere. I have nothing to do, so I might as well have some fun.
"Haha, that's a good relationship. It seems like I'm going to bother Brother Mingyun during this time."
...
...
Western Region.
Shazhou City.
Liu Lin got up early the next morning.
The soldiers prepared rotten noodles for him.
Noodles are the most common food in Shazhou City.
Eating a bowl of rotten noodles after getting up early is quite refreshing.
Not only can you sweat, but it can also make you feel full.
For a soldier, eating well is the most important thing.
As for the so-called dishes, they actually don't matter, they are all used to fool outsiders.
Once you truly enjoy the feeling of fullness, nothing else matters.
"Come on, come on, call Jia Xingwen. It would be a pity if we don't eat such delicious noodles together."
The soldiers immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order and went forward.
Not long after, Jia Xingwen was brought to Liu Lin by his own soldiers.
Liu Lin quickly put down his kuaizi and greeted Jia Xingwen: "Xingwen, come and try these rotten noodles. They are very cooked and very rotten. Just one bite can make you sweat. Haha, really.
It’s so fragrant.”
"Uh...thank you, Protector."
Jia Xingwen was somewhat surprised.
The guardian called him here early in the morning. He thought there was some important matter to discuss, but he didn't expect that he was asked to have breakfast.
However, it seems that Daduhu still values him quite a lot. Being able to let him eat such a big bowl of rotten noodles all at once is not the treatment that ordinary people receive.
In fact, as early as when he was in Chang'an City, Jia Xingwen liked to eat noodles, especially rotten noodles.
When Zhao Xun and Wangcai were still together, they would often eat together.
Sometimes the simplest ingredients can often make the most delicious dishes, and you can experience the heartfelt pleasure.
Whether it is Jia Xingwen, Wangcai, or Zhao Xun, they are now far apart, which is really sad to think about.
Of course, Jia Xingwen's condition is still relatively good.
Even though he had joined the Anxi Army, he still maintained an innocent heart.
He picked up Kuaizi and put a piece of noodles into his mouth, chewing it slowly. For a moment, Jia Xingwen burst into tears.
Yes, that's the smell...
The familiar smell...is back.
At this moment, Jia Xingwen was really moved.
The taste of this noodle is exactly the same as the noodles made by Zhao Xun. It simply takes him back to the past and a familiar era.
Although it has been more than half a year or even a year since he last saw Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen will never forget the taste of noodles made by Zhao Xun.
Mingyun, I don’t know if you are living well in Zhongnan Mountain now, if you are eating well, and if you are wearing warm clothes.
Seeing Jia Xingwen's reaction so strongly, Liu Lin was a little confused.
"What, Xingwen, are these noodles not delicious?"
Liu Lin was somewhat surprised.
Because at this moment, Jia Xingwen's cheeks were already filled with tears.
Men don't shed tears lightly, so Jia Xingwen's reaction was probably a bit too exaggerated.
"No, no..."
Jia Xingwen was afraid that the guardian would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "I just suddenly remembered some past events and old friends."
"I see, this old friend you are thinking of is probably Zhao Xun, right?"
Being able to see through his thoughts at once, Jia Xingwen quickly smiled and said: "The Protector-General really has a sharp eye, and he can see through his subordinates' thoughts with just one glance. Yes, this old friend happens to be Zhao Xun."
"Well, it seems that Zhao Mingyun does have a considerable status in your mind. It would be great if there is a chance to fight alongside him in the future."
Liu Lin was full of emotion when he said this.
Jia Xingwen said quickly: "If there is a chance, there must be a chance."
In his opinion, Zhao Xun is a man who absolutely has feelings for his family and country and has great ambitions.
If possible, he would definitely join the army.
It's just that he will definitely not come out of the quarrel with Emperor Xianlong now.
But Zhao Xun will still protect this country in his own way.
Again, what Zhao Xun protects is not the country of a family, but the home of all people.
"Well, after breakfast today, you follow me to the military camp to review the troops. If nothing unexpected happens, we will set off for Anxi after the supplies are completed."
"So fast?"
Jia Xingwen was somewhat surprised.
In his opinion, this speed is indeed a bit too fast.
After all, the entire Anxi Army has already traveled a long distance.
Under such tired conditions, the soldiers basically wanted to get a good rest.
Not to mention the food and shelter along the way, I just said that after arriving at Shazhou City, I had to have a good rest. However, the Imperial Guard only allowed the soldiers to rest for one day and then decided to set off immediately. Isn’t this decision a little bit a bit strange?
It's sloppy and a little sudden.
Jia Xingwen hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Dadu Protector, in my opinion, it seems we should spend more time resting."
"Um?"
Jia Xingwen rarely confronts Liu Lin.
So Liu Lin was somewhat surprised that he suddenly made such remarks.
"Do you think we should get more rest?"
"Yes, Protector General. We have been working hard all the way, and it can be said that the soldiers are exhausted. What the soldiers need most at this time is to rest. If we set off immediately at this time, I am worried that the soldiers will complain."
As Liu Lin's staff advisor, Jia Xingwen's duty is to provide advice and suggestions to Liu Lin.
In this case, it is actually very dangerous if the whole army cannot be ensured to be in a good mood.
Mutinies and camp riots actually happened very suddenly.
Generally speaking, there are no warning signs.
But the accumulation of emotions does exist.
All in all, Jia Xingwen felt that it was really not a wise move to send out a large army now.
Since he felt this way, he felt that it was natural for him to make it clear to Liu Lin.
Otherwise, if something happens in the future, he really doesn't know how to explain it to Liu Lin.
"Well, actually, I also feel that it is too hasty to lead the troops to Anxi at this time. Since you also think so, you might as well rest for two or three days."
Liu Lin still respects Jia Xingwen's opinion.
Seeing what Jia Xingwen said, he immediately changed his tone.
"The Great Protector is wise!"
Jia Xingwen was very happy.
Daduhu still listened to his advice.
As long as you listen and give advice, that's fine. Just listen and give advice.
As long as you can listen to the advice, many problems can be solved easily.
What I'm afraid of is the kind of person who can't listen to advice at all and just bullshits me.
This kind of person really has a big head.
If such a peak occurs, it will be quite unlucky.
Fortunately, the Dong Weng that Jia Xingwen met was a very nice person with basically no personal emotions.
Since then, Jia Xingwen can completely let go of his hands and feet, devote himself wholeheartedly to providing advice and suggestions to Dong Weng.
This point is very important. Jia Xingwen is a person who does not want to be restrained by others.
If there was a rope around his neck, Jia Xingwen would feel very uncomfortable.
But if this rope can be removed as soon as possible, Jia Xingwen's room for performance will become very large, which is very conducive to his further development.
From the current point of view, everything is going very smoothly and everything is developing according to the established plan.
As long as there is an opportunity, Jia Xingwen must develop upwards and strive to become Liu Lin's right-hand man.
This Dong Weng is worth following. In Zhao Xun's words, such a person is a high-quality stock, and there is nothing wrong with investing in him.
"Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Xingwen, what do you think is the first thing I should do after arriving in Anxi?"
"Um?"
Jia Xingwen was stunned for a moment.
He was still immersed in the joy just now and couldn't extricate himself.
At this time, Liu Lin suddenly changed his topic, and he felt a little difficult to adapt.
After Qiang adjusted his emotions, Jia Xingwen cleared his throat and said: "Report to Dong Weng, after returning to Anxi, Dong Weng should actually send a document to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, saying that the Great Zhou Dynasty has granted him a reward.
Please invite the kings from all over the world to rush to the Duhu Mansion to receive the title."
"Well..."
Liu Lin was confused for a moment.
"This is not good, your Majesty did not issue such a decree. If the general does this, wouldn't he be suspected of deceiving the emperor?"
"Will not."
Seeing Liu Lin being so stubborn, Jia Xingwen was dumbfounded for a while.
"In urgent matters, obey the authority. This is just a stopgap measure. Besides, the Emperor is far away. Who knows what the Protector is doing at this distance? Even the emperor's minions, ears and eyes cannot follow him like this.
Stay away."
When Liu Lin thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was also the case.
If it were another army, he might not have confidence.
But the Anxi Army is different.
This Anxi Army was brought out by him personally over the years. It can be said that every soldier has his traces on his body.
It is no exaggeration to say this.
Therefore, Liu Lin very much hopes to have a big breakthrough in the future.
Because this point is of extremely important significance to the entire Anxi Army and the entire Anxi region.
"So, why are you doing this, and what effect can this have? Didn't you say before that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have wolfish ambitions?"
"Daduhu, these are two different things."
Jia Xingwen smiled and said: "The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are actually not monolithic. They have their own ideas and calculations. In fact, each of them has different ideas. If you think about it carefully, you can figure it out. You have your own ideas.
There are those who are fighting and those who are sitting on the fence. These guys have completely different ideas, so their attitudes will change when faced with different situations. If the Grand Protector issues this announcement this time, then you can wait and see what happens.
. If nothing else happens, some of the national troops from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions should be willing to come to the Protectorate, while others will find various reasons to stay put. By then we will be able to know those who have disloyalty.
Those who are attentive are the Lord and the sect.”
In fact, Jia Xingwen's method was given to him by Zhao Xun. In Zhao Xun's words, it is a screening method.
Sometimes we don’t know who is good and who is bad, who is loyal and who is traitorous.
So what to do?
After all, we still have to know the final result.
So you can use this screening method.
When he was in the Delinquency Office, Zhao Xun used this method to investigate people more than once.
Facts have proved that the effect is really quite good.
Zhao Xun has used this method repeatedly with success.
Seeing that it was so effective, Jia Xingwen silently wrote it down for future reference.
I didn't expect that it would actually come into use after such a short period of time.
This is really something Jia Xingwen didn't expect.
"Well, it looks like we can really give it a try."
Liu Lin nodded slightly.
The problem of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions has always been a big problem that troubled Liu Lin.
The final analysis is that he cannot truly achieve the so-called indiscriminate treatment.
Many kings of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions had always had enmity with him.
This is something that cannot be avoided.
After all, Liu Lin had been the Protector of Anxi for so long and had been in the Western Regions for such a long time. He had more or less friction with the kings of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Friction is inevitable, the key is to take precautions.
The back-ups proposed by Jia Xingwen will allow Liu Lin to better distinguish and screen the kings of these Western Region countries, and determine which ones can be friends, which ones are enemies, and which ones are passers-by. Only after identifying these, can the next move be good
Do it. Otherwise, you will always be in a very miserable state, and it will be difficult to really have the opportunity to determine the strategy from a large level.
This alone is enough to show that Jia Xingwen is a man of great wisdom, rather than one of those counselors who only have small cleverness.
There are quite significant differences between the two.
Those with great wisdom do not care about short-term gains and losses, but can think about problems from a longer-term perspective.
And those who are obsessed with small cleverness are more likely to be accounting for petty profits.
On the surface, in the short term, they have indeed made money.
But if you take a slightly longer view, you can see that they actually lost money.
So Liu Lin found a treasure this time.
With such a powerful counselor by his side, he is even more powerful.
Liu Lin has never lacked brave generals. He has so many powerful generals under his command that any one he picks out is far more capable than Jia Xingwen.
But there are really not many generals as smart as Jia Xingwen.
Liu Lin was very happy that he was able to conquer such a resourceful counselor.
In the coming days, he will have to work with Jia Xingwen a lot, and he also believes that the two of them can work together seamlessly and just right.
"Sometimes life is really unpredictable."
Liu Lin sighed to himself.
He didn't expect to gain such an important adviser so quickly.
Maybe life has already been arranged in some details, just waiting for you to pick it up.
...
...
Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhao Xun was wandering around Zhongnan Mountain with Wangcai.
Not to mention that it has been a long time since he enjoyed life so leisurely.
Sometimes life is like this, and you will always experience strange feelings and emotions inexplicably.
Just when you feel calm, something shocking happens.
Just when you feel ordinary, something extraordinary happens or an extraordinary person appears.
The emergence of Wangcai indeed injected a ripple and ripple into Zhao Xun's peaceful life.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but recall the wonderful moments of living with Wangcai back then.
Although these life memories have now completely turned into memories, it is still very enjoyable to suddenly take them out and take a look.
"Brother Mingyun, have you improved your cultivation level recently?"
"Well, I have reached the third level now, it's been about a month."
"Let me tell you, I can clearly feel that the true energy emanating from your body is much stronger than this."
Zhao Xun rolled his eyes when he heard this.
If this was said by Brother Jia Xingwen, Zhao Xun could barely believe it. Because Brother Jia could be considered a practitioner after all. But Wangcai is just a mortal, a mortal with naked eyes. He knows the level of practice of Fu.
Really angry?
Obviously he was trying to flatter Zhao Xun.
However, Zhao Xun in this photo is really very comfortable.
Many times people are like this.
"Actually, it's not bad. Infuriating energy is all about nourishing it. If the infuriating energy is well nourished, the infuriating energy will appear stronger. If not, the infuriating energy will appear very dull and sparse."
Zhao Xun spread his hands and said: "Wangcai, you have been following me for so long. Although you are not a practitioner yourself, you should understand this principle, right?"
"Hey, I understand, I understand..."
Wangcai smiled to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"By the way, Brother Mingyun, there's one thing I've never understood. Why does the mountain chief rarely take action? Even this time, when the Corruptors besieged Zhongnan Mountain and even reached the doorstep of his home, the mountain chief didn't take action?"
The question of prosperity is a good question.
Zhao Xun said secretly in his heart.
"Actually, you can think of it this way. Strong masters will not take action as soon as they come up. Because it would be too embarrassing."
Zhao Xun paused and said, "The issue of face is still very important. After all, the mountain leader is the first person in the world and the so-called supreme power, so naturally he has to care about the issue of face. Of course, in addition to the issue of face, there is another point that is also very important.
, that is, the person who strikes last will always have the advantage. The person who strikes first will easily be targeted by the other party. And once targeted by the other party, he will be at a disadvantage in all aspects."
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and then continued: "Think of it this way. We are at about the same level of cultivation. If you strike first, I can observe your moves and identify them, so I can restrain you. So unless
If the situation is absolutely necessary, otherwise the mountain chief will not take action."
"Uh...that's right."
After hearing this, Wangcai began to admire the mountain leader even more.
It can be said that the mountain leader is a man of considerable wisdom.
The mountain chief is also the pillar of the entire academy, Zhongnan Mountain, and the entire Chang'an area.
If the mountain chief does not panic, then the people here will not panic.
Naturally, this also includes making money.
Wangcai is not a hypocritical person.
But considering the current situation, he was actually a little panicked.
It would be fine if it was just him, but there was an entire family behind him.
In this case, the pressure will not be as great as usual.
A little carelessness can cause extremely serious consequences.
Moreover, his family's properties are basically located in Chang'an City.
If Chang'an City is really breached by the Corruptors, then these industries will definitely be damaged.
This is not what Jia Xingwen wants to see.
So the best result is that the mountain chief can withstand this wave of pressure and deal with the corroders ruthlessly.
Although the Corruptors are strong, they probably don't dare to make too many mistakes when facing the mountain leader.
Otherwise, why haven't the Corruptors really tried their best after fighting for so long?
Why is it that after fighting for so long, the Corruptors can't even advance through the defense line?
Isn’t it because he is afraid of the mountain leader?
I have to say that the deterrent effect of the mountain chief is really too powerful.
As long as the mountains are there, there is nothing to fear.
"Well, so, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."
Zhao Xun chuckled and said: "Anyway, when I see the mountain leader, the mountain leader always looks calm and relaxed. As the saying goes, don't be happy with things and don't be sad with yourself. This kind of transcendent state is really not for everyone.
It’s all available.”
Zhao Xun really admired the mountain leader, mainly because the mountain leader performed so perfectly in all aspects.
It's hard to imagine that a person can be so perfect.
"Brother Mingyun, you must be very happy now that you chose to become a disciple of the Shanzhang instead of taking the imperial examination."
"Of course."
Zhao Xun feels a little scared when he thinks about it now.
If he had not chosen to become a disciple of Shanzhang, but had chosen to take the imperial examination and continue working for Emperor Xianlong, he might have become GG by now.
Without the protection of the mountain chief, Emperor Xianlong could manipulate him at will.
And a mere Qinglian Taoist priest is not enough to protect Zhao Xun's safety.
So it makes sense to say that men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession.
One wrong decision may lead to a series of mistakes.
These all have chain reactions.
Of course, Zhao Xun made the right choice, so now he has been riding on the right path.
It is necessary to stay in shape, and everyone needs to put in their best efforts for themselves.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but now it seems that everything he does is on the right track.
"Oh, Brother Mingyun, something suddenly occurred to me. This time I heard rumors that King Qi and the Crown Prince were fighting again."
Jia Xingwen suddenly turned on the gossip mode, making Zhao Xun dumbfounded.
"The two of them will fight as soon as they start fighting. The prince and King Qi have long been unhappy with each other, and now they are just quarreling with each other. This has nothing to do with us."
There is actually nothing wrong with what Zhao Xun said.
Because even if King Qi is the biological father of Li Taiping, the lord of Yonghe County, the relationship between the two can be considered severed now.
In this case, Zhao Xun had no need to have any other thoughts about the struggle for power between two strangers.
To put it bluntly, neither of these two people, Zhao Xun, is happy, so no matter which one of them laughs in the end, it has nothing to do with Zhao Xun.
What Zhao Xun has to do is to be himself and do his best.
As long as he does his best, he doesn't need to look at anyone else's face.
"Hey, brother Mingyun, of course I know that you are unhappy with either of these two people. But, actually, there is not that much to say. Because, that's what I said, and that's what you heard. If you're not interested
, just treat it like a fart and let it go.”
Knowing that he had said something wrong, Wangcai was afraid that Zhao Xun would be angry because of it, so he went back to make amends desperately.
Zhao Xun couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
Prosperous wealth, prosperous wealth, what do you want me to say about you?
"So Brother Mingyun, what are you going to do next?"
"Next?"
Zhao Xun is not sure.
"Which aspect are you referring to, practice or life?"
"Let's all talk."
At this time, Xiao Wangcai once again showed how strong a person's Bagua attributes can be. Zhao Xun smiled helplessly and said, "Then I will tell you one by one."
"If it's cultivation, I naturally hope to explore further and go higher. This should be the hope of every practitioner. After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If a person's cultivation is
The higher the level, although it does not necessarily prove that he will win in actual combat, but there is no doubt that the chance of victory will be greater. Besides, practitioners also have to save face. After all, I am also a disciple of the mountain chief and a disciple of the academy. Anyway, I have to
Just be a second-grade person. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing if you tell me."
"Ah, then it seems that Brother Mingyun still has great expectations for his future."
Xiao Wangcai rubbed his palms together repeatedly and said with a half-smile: "Actually, this is understandable. After all, brother Mingyun can be regarded as a leader among men. What about life?"
"Life...this can be said to be a bit broad."
Zhao Xun didn't know what Wangcai wanted to know. He spread his hands and said, "Think about it this way. As a living person, what do you want to gain in life?"
"Well..."
Wangcai felt a little confused for a while.
"What do I want to achieve in life..."
Wangcai read it silently, but it was really difficult for him to give himself an answer right away.
"When you say that, I really can't give you an answer."
"So. If you don't know what you want, then of course you don't know what your life will be like in the future. Everyone should have a plan for their future life. Everyone should plan for their future.
Make predictions about your life. Only in this way can your future life be as you predict and as you hope. I have never believed in the nonsense that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Even if it really does
road, it will also be an extremely difficult road, or a dead end."
"Well..."
Wangcai was confused for a moment when he heard this.
Why is it so good? Brother Mingyun said it so seriously.
It seems that Brother Mingyun's condition has really changed a lot in the past six months and a year, making him a little uncomfortable.
It seems that too many things have happened to Brother Mingyun this year.
After a person has experienced a lot, he will gain a lot of insights. Brother Ming Yun is the best example.
Talk less, watch more and learn more, this is the conclusion that Wangcai has come to at this moment.
For Wangcai, if you can learn more from a friend, there is no doubt that you can get a huge improvement.
It was also very helpful to him personally.
"So Brother Mingyun, will you stay in Zhongnan Mountain in the future or choose to travel around the world?"
"It depends on the situation. I can't say right now."
It's not that Zhao Xun doesn't want to give an answer, it's because he doesn't have an answer in his heart so far.
The answer is something that requires constant exploration.
People at different times and in different situations will give completely different answers.
Everyone has different views and thinking habits, so the answers given will be different.
As far as Zhao Xun is concerned, his current condition is pretty good and he is full of curiosity about life.
However, there is currently a serious problem like the Corruptor that needs to be fought. Before the problem of the Corruptor is solved, it is impossible for Zhao Xun to be distracted and think about traveling.
"Maybe I will travel in the future, but I don't know, I don't like to set limits for myself. Because once I set limits for myself, I will be slapped in the face easily."
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Do you still remember what I told you? Don't set up flags randomly unless you have to. Because although flags are easy to set up, they can also be easily taken down. It's so exciting when you set up a flag.
It’s so painful when the flag is removed. This is life.”
"Well..."
Wangcai scratched his head and said, "Brother Mingyun seems to have said something similar."
"So, if you ask me now what will happen in a few years, I really can't give you an answer. Because even I don't know where I will be at that time. Maybe I will be in Zhongnan Mountain, maybe
I will go to Shuzhong, or to Jiangnan Road. If I want to travel, I will definitely choose a place with good scenery. There are good mountains, rivers and scenery. Of course, I will bring a few close friends with me. If I go alone
It would be too boring."
"Well..."
Wangcai asked tentatively: "Then are you willing to take me there?"
"Would you like to go?"
"certainly!"
For a moment, the little fat man Wangcai patted his chest to show his loyalty.
"If you are willing, I will naturally take you there."
Zhao Xun also expressed his attitude.
After coming to the world of Dazhou, Zhao Xun didn't have many friends, and it could be said that there were even fewer who could truly be called close friends. Wangcai could definitely be counted as one.
but...
One thing is, if Zhao Xun had been carrying a lot of money, would he have been pushed for manuscripts all the time?
After all, in addition to being Zhao Xun's friend, Wangcai also has another identity, that is, he is a businessman.
Or rather a bookseller.
With such a profiteer always by Zhao Xun's side, Zhao Xun was under great pressure.
It is not easy to maintain emotional stability, especially when there is a supervisor around you.
Imagining Wangcai holding a small leather whip behind Zhao Xun to urge him to write, I felt very depressed.
Alas, it seems that life is really full of all kinds of sorrows.
If you have to type and write every moment while traveling, this is indeed the most painful thing in life.
Zhao Xun didn't know if he could withstand it, but looking at it at the moment, this was indeed an extremely big test.
"If you can promise not to rush the manuscript, the two of us can go anywhere."
Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
He is afraid that the wealth will really cause trouble.
If this is the case, Zhao Xun will not be happy by then.
He was once an extremely happy young man. It would be too tragic if he was forced to open a business because of his wealth.
No, no, there are some things that really need to be explained clearly in advance. If there are no mistakes, there is still room for discussion.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult.
"Haha, I promise not to push for manuscripts when I'm traveling, and I won't push for manuscripts when I'm traveling. That'll be all right."
In order to make Zhao Xun feel relieved and satisfied, Wangcai could only pat his chest and guarantee it.
"Well...that's more like it."
Zhao Xun felt a little relieved after hearing this.
"So we can plan a travel route first. Then we can completely follow this route to ensure that there will be no problems."
"Um..."
I have to say that Wangcai is indeed a successful businessman and has all the elements that a successful businessman should have.
Even if I haven't started traveling yet, I've already started thinking about the route after the trip.
It is really critical to do a good job of preliminary investigation.
"Well, you might as well start from Yongzhou and go to Shuzhong first. They say that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky. I want to see with my own eyes how difficult the road to Shu is."
Zhao Xun clenched his fist with one hand, feeling full of confidence for a moment.
"Well, brother Ming Yun really has a good ambition."
At this moment, Wangcai felt his blood boiling.
I have to say that spending time with Zhao Xun made Wangcai understand many things and broadened his horizons.
Just what I learned from Zhao Xun is enough to make me rich for several lifetimes.
"Also, I want to go to Jianmen to have a look in person. The legendary Bashu Great Sword Immortal Yang Zhishui held back a million enemy troops at Jianmen. I want to climb up and take a closer look at the past."
"Well...that's what it should be."
Wangcai felt that Zhao Xun was really a very heroic person.
"After arriving in Shuzhong, we can stay for a while, and it is best to go to Qingcheng Mountain. Our mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi once practiced Qingcheng Mountain in Qingcheng Mountain. The Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan and his second senior sister also used to stay in Qingcheng Mountain. I often come from
They hear the beautiful scenery of Qingcheng Mountain from their mouths. Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. Since Qingcheng Mountain has such beautiful scenery, then no matter what, I have to go and see it with my own eyes. Only in this way can I enjoy it."
Zhao Xun is really looking forward to the future.
Shuzhong occupies a very important position in his plan.
It can be said that even if Zhao Xun does not go anywhere, it is impossible not to go to Shuzhong.
And he would also travel around Sichuan, either climbing high places to remember the past, or having conversations with the ancients.
It may be difficult to realize the wish of being an immortal for a lifetime, but the vision of being a Shu person for a year and a half is still very easy to achieve as long as you are really willing.
It is said that Shu people are the most comfortable and happiest people in the world. Zhao Xun really wanted to experience this kind of pleasure.
"Life after life is endless, life after life remains unchanged."
Zhao Xun suddenly felt emotional.
"After leaving Shuzhong, we can go south along the river to Jiangnan."
Jiangnan can be said to be another place Zhao Xun wanted to visit.
Compared with Shuzhong, the prosperity of Jiangnan is a different kind of prosperity.
Zhao Xun once resisted monsters in Ningzhou and experienced the charm of Jiangnan.
And Ningzhou is not yet the hinterland of Jiangnan.
The Jiangnan scenery that Zhao Xun experienced in Ningzhou cannot yet be considered a complete Jiangnan scenery.
Therefore, whenever he has the opportunity, Zhao Xun will travel around the south of the Yangtze River. The famous mountains and rivers, the scenic spots and historical sites, and the anecdotes of famous people are all worthy of his careful visit.
It may sound a bit erratic at first, but in fact Zhao Xun is fully capable of this.
He has the ability to do this because he is a disciple of the academy.
The reputation of the academy in Jiangnan is quite good, and the mountain chief was even erected in a shrine by the scholars in Jiangnan.
As a disciple of the academy, you can imagine the treatment Zhao Xun would receive if he went to Jiangnan.
Zhao Xun could already imagine how he felt when he arrived at Jiangnan Road and was welcomed by Jiangnan scholars and Jiangnan scholars.
That kind of carefreeness, that kind of determination, that kind of unparalleled feeling will definitely make people feel excited.
As for making money, if you follow Zhao Xun to Jiangnan, you will definitely experience a different kind of pleasure, a completely different pleasure from Zhao Xun.
Wangcai is a businessman and a successful businessman.
And Jiangnan is a place of demonstration and prosperity.
Commodity trade in Jiangnan is very prosperous.
Wherever you have prosperity, you can find opportunities to make money at any time.
If a person wants to make a fortune, in addition to having the means, he must also be lucky.
And the luck of making money is quite good.
It can be said that prosperity is simply a lucky star.
Since meeting Wangcai, Zhao Xun's luck has not been bad.
Sometimes Zhao Xun even wonders whether Wangcai is the legendary chosen one.
Being able to travel with such a lucky star is really a good thing if you think about it carefully.
Zhao Xun will try his best to appreciate the beauty and appreciate all the small blessings in life.
He also believed that as long as he could experience the beauty with Wangcai, he would have the chance to be favored by God again.
In the past, Zhao Xun did not believe in the existence of God, but now he feels that God may really exist, just like Satan.
Isn’t Satan the master of Eren Lore’s world?
So sometimes Zhao Xun wonders, what would it be like if the immortals from heaven descended to earth?
If these scenes that only appear in poetry appeared in the human world, the most likely place would be Jiangnan.
The prosperity and beauty of Jiangnan may be the most critical points to attract the immortals in the sky.
As long as the immortals in the sky are willing to give it a try, they can come down to earth at any time to experience the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.
