Chapter 8 Night Talk by the Stream(1/2)
Shang Xiuxun was like a goddess descending from heaven, her clothes flying in the night wind, and she stood proudly with her hands behind her back and said calmly: The rice dumplings you made tonight are of a very high standard and are very satisfactory.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling quickly thanked him.
The beauty looked at the stars in the sky and said in a cold voice: Is the old guy dead?
Xu Ziling’s head dropped sadly.
Shang Xiuxun turned her back to them, as if she didn't want them to see her expression. After a while, she said: You two come with me for a walk!
The two of them were surprised that this invitation was too unreasonable for a woman who was always so self-satisfied and solitary. They had no choice but to follow her with suspicion.
Shang Xiuxun was walking slowly in the wilderness, her beautiful figure shining brightly under the light of the stars and the moon, her elegant back carrying an otherworldly and indescribable mysterious beauty.
Shang Xiuxun was speechless for a while.
When she reached a pile of big rocks scattered along the stream, she stopped and sighed softly: Sit down!
Kou Zhong said hurriedly: "We are done standing."
Shang Xiuxun picked a big stone, sat down on it, and said: Sit down!
When they saw her sitting down, they were polite and each chose a smooth stone to sit on.
Liu Zongdao's waiting voice could be heard faintly in the distance.
Shang Xiuxun said softly: Do you think I am overbearing? I have to wake you up to see me even if you are asleep.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: You are our big boss and we naturally have to obey your orders.
Shang Xiuxun chuckled and thought for a long time. He smiled and said: This is exactly why I love talking to you, because you only think of me as a boss and not as the supreme owner like others. In the end,
The wonderful thing is that I know that you have many things to hide from me and lie to me, but I can't catch your sore feet.
The two of them were greatly embarrassed.
Xu Ziling said: What does the venue owner think we are cheating on?
Shang Xiuxun shook her head coquettishly, turned her eyes to the two of them, looked at the night sky, and said softly: I don't know much. But I always feel that you two are very special. My mother, Chang Lu Miaozi, is extremely smart and has always been aloof.
He looks down on people, so he has never passed on to others. Alas! People's personalities will not change. Why does he think so highly of you?
Kou Zhong shrugged and said: I'm afraid he won't know about this until he comes back to life!
Shang Xiuxun said calmly: There is no evidence again! What did he pass on to you? I went to his building before leaving, but this hateful old guy left nothing behind!
Xu Ziling said solemnly: Mr. Lu's clever weapons have all become burial objects buried with him forever.
Shang Xiuxun looked at him with deep eyes and said calmly: Doesn't he have anything left for you?
Kou Zhongdao: There are only a few notebooks recording his life's learning. Does the director have to look at them?
Shang Xiuxun shook his head and said: I don't want to touch his things.
The two of them felt relieved and thought to themselves that this would be for the best.
Shang Xiuxun suddenly said: Liar!
The two of them were startled and thought that if she wanted to search her body, they would have to break up and leave immediately.
A smile escaped from the corner of Shang Xiuxun's mouth and he glanced at them several times and said calmly: This is unreasonable. Everything the old guy knows is a treasure that is hard to find in the world. How could he be stingy like this when he likes you? But I also
I don't know how to explore this matter, so the old guy still laughs at me.
The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief without showing any signs of it on their faces.
Shang Xiuxun suddenly sighed again and said: My heart is in chaos, can you just find something interesting?
The owner of the venue, Meirener, actually spoke softly to her and both of them felt flattered.
Xu Ziling suddenly said: How about I give the owner a hexagram to see why the owner is upset.
Kou Zhong was amazed in his heart.
Shang Xiuxun was surprised and said: Do you know arithmetic?
Xu Ziling said proudly: I just learned it from Mr. Lu. I was afraid that she would refuse to follow the method taught by Lu Miaozi. He raised his hands and started a lesson. Liu Ren pinched his fingers and counted, and then said seriously: This lesson is called Meng'e. The reason why the owner of the field is confused
All due to the unclear situation and traps on the way.
Shang Xiuxun said in astonishment: It seems that you can learn such a difficult thing in just seven or eight days.
Kou Zhong had an idea and said: Jing is a genius in magic, but I am a genius in the art of war!
Shang Xiuxun said disdainfully: You are the most shameless genius and you don’t even look in the mirror.
Kou Zhong laughed and said: Don't underestimate the old guy's judgment. If you don't believe me, you can test me.
Shang Xiuxun first sneered and then said in a deep voice: Okay! Sun Tzu's Art of War has eight essences. I want you to listen to them.
Kou Zhong said calmly: "The book of war is about dead people and alive people. If you let me analyze the situation at hand for the field owner, the field owner will not have to be upset because of the unclear situation."
Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a long time and finally said with the intention of giving it a try: Let's do it!
Kou Zhong said respectfully: Is it because Jingling sent people to ask for help this time?
Shang Xiuxun's eyes turned cold and he said angrily: Did Fu'er leak this matter?
Xu Ziling said displeasedly: After the disaster, does the owner still care about such trivial matters as family laws and rules?
Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. At this moment, Xu Ziling still smelled like a half-servant, and he forgot to scold him for a moment.
Kou Zhong took time to analyze and said: The Jianghuai army's arrival to the west has been perfectly timed, which shows that it was a deliberate move...
Shang Xiuxun interrupted him and said: Who told you that it was the Jianghuai Army who committed the crime against Jingling?
Kou Zhong said proudly: If you want someone to tell you, you are not a genius in the art of war. There are many things that can be understood with the eyes and ears of the heart without seeing or hearing with the eyes.
He paused and smiled and said: Jingling's Domination Villa and our owner, your Pegasus Ranch, have always been the meat of the surrounding major forces. It's just that this meat is so difficult to get hold of! Now the four major bandits are invading.
Our ranch and Du Fuwei took the opportunity to threaten Jingling with troops. If there was no subtle connection between the two, I would not believe it. In Shang Xiuxun's eyes, the two of them talked as if they had become two other people, which made her also
He couldn't help but be so engrossed that he forgot about their status and qualifications and frowned: "You are quite familiar with the situation in Jianghu, but how could you guess that Du Fuwei was just standing still outside Jingling City instead of besieging the city fiercely?"
In the last two sentences, Li Yurong's tone turned suspicious.
Xu Ziling said calmly: "The siege of the city is just under the influence of Du Fuwei across the Yangtze River. How can a person who is well versed in the art of war kill two birds with one stone without thinking about what if the ranch army has not arrived and the Jingling mausoleum has been destroyed? Then the ranch owner has no choice but to retreat to the ranch and contact the surrounding cities and villages for reinforcements."
To resist, it would be difficult for Du Fuwei to expand his results.
Shang Xiuxun's delicate body trembled slightly and she groaned without saying a word, revealing a thoughtful expression that was clearly moved by Xu Ziling's words.
Kou Zhong said in a deep voice: The owner's hasty move this time may fall into Du Fuwei's cunning plan to lure the snake out of the hole... Shang Xiuxun stood up quickly and said coldly: You two go back to sleep!
After saying that, he hurried to discuss with Liu Zongdao and others.
※※※
When he got up the next morning, Shang Xiuxun summoned the two of them to the tent. Next to them were Sister Fu and Juan. She looked solemnly and said:
You two have made great achievements on this trip. I will discuss your merits and reward them in the future. Now I will change the itinerary for you two and Fu'er and Juan'er will return to the pasture with the two deacons. Do you know?
The two complained secretly.
Kou Zhong frowned and said: It is unwise for the owner to send us away.
Sister Fu and Juan lost their composure at the same time, wondering whether they would die if they bumped into the venue owner like this.
Shang Xiuxun's reaction was not as intense as they expected. He just said displeasedly: What's wrong with me? If you don't give me a way out, I'll make sure you suffer.
Kou Zhong said calmly: Don't forget that we are... Hey! You understand! Isn't it a wise decision to leave talents without using them like this?
Shang Xiuxun was surprisingly emotionless and sighed: It's not that I don't want to take you with me, it's just that this trip to Jingling is dangerous and unpredictable. How can I take care of you if something happens?
Kou Zhong lowered his voice and said in a serious tone: To be honest, my two brothers are secretly masters and have no problem protecting themselves when something unexpected happens. Hey! What are you laughing at?
Sister Fu and Juan Na couldn't help but change from snickering to covering their mouths in laughter.
Shang Xiuxun was also upset because of this and said: With your three-legged cat-like skills, what can you hide? Just follow your orders. I don't have time to spend on you anymore.
Xu Ziling said hurriedly: Master, please listen to a few more words. We are facing Dad with the teachings taught by Mr. Lu... Hey!
Lao Du's army will definitely come in handy...
Shang Xiuxun said angrily: "With all this nonsense, by the time you complete the mechanism that you have only learned for a few days, the city will be destroyed and people will be dead."
Kou Zhonggu said eloquently: What the field owner said is wrong. Lu Miaozi has unparalleled knowledge. One of them is called the formation method, just like the eight formation diagrams set up by Zhuge Wuhou in Caishiji. This thing is about heaven.
Minutes are not the length of time. For example, Jing will tell you if he doesn't believe it as soon as he hears it, but he will say a few words to let the host listen.
Shang Xiuxun, Sister Fu and Juan cast doubtful glances on Xu Ziling. He had no choice but to blurt out: The number of heaven is five, the number of earth is five, and each of them has its own harmony. Hey! Is that enough?
Kou Zhong became more jealous and said: This means that the Wuhe Formation of Heaven and Earth can generate changes and control the ghosts and gods, regardless of the opponent's thousands of troops. If you enter the formation, you will... haha... it will be like entering the fog.
Shang Xiuxun said with half belief and doubt: If you two change to wear Taoist robes, you will become two underage demon Taoists.
Sister Fu and Juan could only hold back their laughter when they saw how embarrassed they were being scolded.
Seeing that his plan failed, Kou Zhong pointed his fingers and said: The owner wants to send us back to the ranch because he is afraid that our lives will be lost.
So I set up a hexagram, this hexagram...well...the name of this hexagram must be guaranteed, which means it will definitely protect both of our lives. It will be unharmed.
Shang Xiuxun said: When did you change from a genius in the art of war to a genius in numerology?
Kou Zhong's face did not change and he said proudly: Starting a hexagram is the simplest basic skill. It relies on sincerity and righteousness. The heart is the base number and is used. It is said that the number of the heaven and the earth depends on the number of the great development. Fifty begins with one, prepares for five and evolves into ten.
