Chapter 50: Yaoqing strikes two chapters in one(1/2)
The sound of poetry rippled on the water of West Lake, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Xu Tong didn't know whether there was Du Mu in this era.
But at this time, except for this poem, Xu Tong had no more suitable poem to express his inner anger as Yang Hong.
The civil and military officials of the court were singing and dancing, and they seemed to only have the words "Victory at Langshan" in their eyes. Little did they know that the number of Tianqian killed in the battle at Langshan was not much lower than that of the Northern Barbarians. Of the 30,000 advance troops, less than 3,000 survived in the end. This is because of myself.
The bloody battle at Langshan was like a meat grinder. Forty thousand Tiangan soldiers lay under Langshan and never woke up. The injured and disabled were even more incalculable.
This battle was a great victory, but it cannot be summed up in just four words: the frivolous victory at Langshan.
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.
The expressions on the faces of those ministers flickered for a while. Was this not showing any respect? This was rubbing all their faces on the ground.
The talent of this poem is astonishing. Who among the people present can't think of the Spring and Autumn Period in their hearts. Looking at this poem from a professional perspective, the more I read it, the more amazing it becomes.
The word "cage" in the first sentence is very eye-catching. Smoke, water, moon and sand are harmoniously blended together by the two characters "cage", creating an extremely elegant night scene by the water.
The second sentence may seem ordinary, but it is worth pondering. The first four words point out the time and place for the scenery in the previous sentence, and the last three words open the way for the following, leading to the next two lines of poetry.
It's just that the last two lines of poetry are really harsh.
He was scolding the Yaoqing girl in front of him, but in fact, he was mocking everyone present. Everyone's face was burning, as if someone had slapped them out of thin air.
If it were anyone else, this time would definitely arouse the anger of the people and join forces to attack.
But the young marquis in front of him has a heroic spirit and a sharp cold light in his eyes. Regardless of his extreme strength, even the bloody human head in Qian Feng's arms makes no one dare to pay any attention to him. no.
Seeing that everyone's faces were getting uglier, Xu Tong grinned and felt instantly better. He likes to see others feel uncomfortable. The more uncomfortable they are, the happier he is. I can't kill you, but I can still disgust you for a while.
Looking at Xu Lai's face again, he saw that his Chinese character face was now as pale as steel, his eyes were filled with gloom and he glared at himself, and he coldly snorted: "What a poem!"
The voice sounded slightly cold to outsiders, but in front of Xu Tong, it was a different story.
I saw Xu Lai's cold snort, and huge thoughts were mixed in it, like a torrent of river water rushing towards him.
The huge mental power is the result of Xu Lai's decades of hard training to become an Earth Immortal Queen. His mental power is as strong as the sea, and he can follow his words. Just a cold snort is enough to kill the masters who have entered the Taoist realm, even the enlightened heavenly beings. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss too.
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Xu Lai's thoughts to be so powerful, but he was not afraid of him at all. He silently recited the Nirvana Sutra to make his mind clear. Facing the raging power of thoughts in front of him, Xu Tong's consciousness was not at all. Not affected.
Seeing Xu Tong's indifferent look, Xu Laiye couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
"Sorry, I drank too much and am not feeling well. Goodbye!" Xu Tong smiled and already had a rough understanding of Xu Lai's strength. He stopped staying immediately, and after a polite exchange of greetings, he left before everyone could see him. After coming back to his senses, he turned around and walked to Qian Feng. He looked at him with a smile, which made Qian Feng feel hairy all over. Then he picked up the head and turned around.
"Uncles, Lord Shenwu drank too much. I'll see him off."
When Xu Fan saw that Yang Hong was leaving, of course he didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he immediately ran away.
As soon as the two people left, the scene exploded. Several officials pointed in the direction Xu Tong left and cursed. A clear cold voice came from the boat: "Mr. Guozhu, my little girl is not feeling well today. For the time being."
Farewell!"
After saying this, the two maids turned around and walked into the cabin, signaling the boatman to leave.
As for the eighteen fairies in the priest's office, they also played their violins and left, not daring to stay any longer.
This poem is so powerful that although Yang Hongren left, the sound lingered in his ears and lingered for a long time. Whoever could continue to stay would be really shameless.
If people hang this poem on their heads in the future, even Fairy Eighteen will probably have a bad reputation.
Even the girls in Sijiofang couldn't stand such irony, let alone the court officials. Some of them immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands to Xu Lai and resigned.
The ministers had all run away. How dare those strangers stay longer? They still said goodbye to Xu Lai with a smile on their faces, but when they turned around, they wished they had two extra legs.
In an instant, no one had time to say a word in the originally lively West Lake Poetry Recital. Before Xu Lai could talk about martial arts, he was stunned by Xu Tong's poem.
Everyone seemed to have been slapped, and ran away with their heads lowered.
The most annoying person among them was naturally Xu Lai himself. It was said that when Xu Lai left West Lake and returned home, he conveniently sent all the guards who were responsible for following Lu Yanfang's orders to death row for dereliction of duty.
Xu Tong's poem also spread throughout the streets overnight.
Many aspiring people heard this poem and called Shen Wuhou powerful.
When he learned that Xu Tong had killed Lu Yanfang, he even shouted with joy.
Others shook their heads and sighed, feeling that Marquis Shenwu's actions tonight, although he was very angry on behalf of the soldiers who went on the expedition, had also offended the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, especially Xu Guozhu, who was offended to death.
Damn it, I'm afraid that although this court is big, it can no longer accommodate him.
This concern is not unreasonable.
After all, the Xu family covers the sky with only one hand. Even though Shenwuhou is also the best in the world, Xu Laiming has never turned against him, but it is not a problem to suppress him severely in the court.
Xu Tong didn't know what Xu Lai was thinking, but when he let out this breath of bad breath, he felt that his whole body was fully aware of his thoughts, and he was indescribably happy.
"Brother Yang, it's getting late. Is there a place to stay in Lin'an?"
Xu Fan asked Xu Tong from the side.
As soon as Xu Tong shook his head, Xu Fan immediately said: "It just so happens that I have a villa in Lin'an. You can just follow me and live there temporarily."
Xu Tong is not polite. The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter whether the little guy in Lu Ji's belly is born, a boy or a girl, Xu Fan must rely on Xu Tong's amulet. If he still has it at this time,
To be polite is to be offended.
So the two of them went straight to the other courtyard. Xu Fan asked the guards following him to go home early and ordered the kitchen to prepare food and wine.
On the road, Xu Tong was lying on the carriage. Xu Fan's carriage was very large, much larger than ordinary carriages. It was paved with thick soft mats, and there was a hot stove on the side. Even the wheels were made of thick
Wrapped in thick animal skin, it is extremely comfortable to sit on.
Xu Tong changed to a more comfortable position and asked, "Brother Xu, how much do you know about Shangqing Dao?"
Xu Fan thought for a moment, held the heater in his arms, covered his cold hands and said, "Not much. This Shangqing Dao is particularly mysterious. Even I don't know who the leader is, but there is one thing that is very interesting."
Xu Fan talked about the past. It was six years ago. Xu Lai went out with a sword. It took two months before he came back. When he came back, he was scarred. There was a wound on his shoulder that was so deep that the bone was visible.
This matter was kept as a secret, and few people in the Xu family knew about it.
But only Xu Fan knew that Xu Lai went to Xianrending, where Shangqing Road is located.
Hearing what Xu Fan said, Xu Tong suddenly became alert. Xu Lai, as the second best person in the world and blessed by national luck, was actually injured. This shows that this Shangqing Dao is indeed extraordinary.
"Well, I need to find an opportunity to go to the Shangqing Dao to explore its depth."
While Xu Tong was thinking about it, the carriage stopped in front of a manor.
There are two lion-shaped gate piers on both sides of the vermilion gate. The lions are majestic and unstoppable. The stone drum below the gate pier is engraved with the image of a unicorn, which is even more vivid, as if it is about to jump down from it at any time.
Common people also have this kind of gate, but their grades vary greatly.
For example, the lions and unicorns in front of us represent the exclusive possession of the royal family. Even first-class officials cannot override them. In other words, the Xu family is only qualified to enjoy them if they are relatives of the emperor.
When you walk into the gate, you will see a dragon screen wall in front of you. Three dragons are circling, with a rainbow-like momentum. They are so delicate that even the scales on it imply the number of three talents and six unions.
As soon as Xu Tong entered the door, he could feel an invisible aura coming, but when it came into contact with him, it disappeared without a trace.
This screen wall is a security feature of the house, which can prevent sneaky and evil things from following the owner into the house.
The screen wall in front of him was even more impressive. The three dragons were full of aura, and they even had a faint feeling that they were about to materialize. When Xu Tong took a closer look, he found that these three dragons had no eye-catching features.
This reminded him of Wu Daozi's rising dragon painting.
"I'm afraid if I click on the dragon's eyes, these three dragons will break through the wall and rise up."
Xu Tong thought about it secretly and couldn't help but be surprised.
This place is said to be a villa owned by Xu Fan, but the standards are ridiculously high.
Even if Xu Tong, a land god, followed Xu Fan all the way in, he could not help but feel like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Even the teacups for drinking water are expensive, to the point of being staggeringly expensive.
Although Xu Fan had no cultivation skills, his life was even more like that of an immortal.
Fortunately, Xu Tong didn't feel anything about these foreign objects. Compared to this house, Xu Fan had people prepare the meals early, which made Xu Tong's mouth water.

I thought that in this era without the blessing of technology and hard work, the taste of food would generally be bland.
But when the delicious food was served, Xu Tong realized that he was superficial.
A plate of glazed dragon jelly, at first glance, looks like an ordinary plate of isinglass inside, withered at best, but when you actually eat it, even Xu Tong almost bites his tongue.
It tastes delicious, has an endless aftertaste, and has a strong sauce aroma, which is simply amazing.
When Xu Tong asked, he found out that the tofu was not made from beans, but made from fish bones.
What?? Fish bones?
That's right, sturgeon bones that are more than twenty years old are taken and fed slowly in twelve-bone soup over low heat. In the end, the bones are like jelly and crystal clear.
The taste is amazing when you put it in your mouth. It feels like a dragon is jumping around in your mouth when you swallow it.
Just this one dish costs thirty taels of silver.
Among them, 10 taels were used to buy fish, and the remaining 20 taels were used to make soup.
You know, during this great victory at Langshan, all the soldiers received at most only ten taels of silver due to their military merits, which in the end was not enough to eat this dish.
In addition to this glazed dragon jelly, there are other dishes such as goose web duck, sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, and ham stewed elbow. These dishes may seem ordinary at first glance, but every dish is a rich dish.
