Chapter 427: It is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework (nearly 20,000 words in a s
Zhao Xun has a sense of ritual when cooking. He will do every step carefully to make the dishes appear in the most perfect state. He will also try his best to help everyone do what they should do.
things, showing the role of a kitchen leader from the beginning.
For example, Wang Cai, under Zhao Xun's arrangement, has already prepared ketchup.
Zhao Xun nodded with great satisfaction and immediately started frying the fries.
French fries also need to pay attention to the oil temperature.
Depending on the oil temperature, the taste of fried French fries will be completely different.
French fries with different tastes can give people completely different feelings.
Zhao Xun naturally hopes to set a benchmark from the beginning.
In this way, the fries produced next will be at the forefront in all aspects.
Otherwise, if this benchmark is not set well, Zhao Xun will naturally not be able to expect others to make French fries delicious.
If there is no industry standard, then Zhao Xun will formulate the industry standard.
Anyway, he is absolutely professional when it comes to food.
There is definitely no problem with professional people doing professional things.
Not everyone realizes this, and not everyone understands the importance of professionalism.
But Zhao Xun understands, so he will continue to work hard to promote and let more people understand that making a delicious dish is not that difficult.
As long as you put your mind to it, it's really possible.
But the prerequisite is that you must be careful.
"Well"
"The taste has come out, the fragrance has come out."
When Zhao Xun was flipping French fries in the hot oil pan, he was already conquered by the overflowing aroma.
This smell is indeed too fragrant.
Zhao Xun couldn't believe that such a fragrant smell could escape. He could only say that his decision to change the pot of clear oil was absolutely correct.
If you continue to use the oil used to fry the stinky tofu, it won't be long before the aroma of the fries will be covered by the stench of the stinky tofu.
for a while
Zhao Xun was very happy.
Making the right decision at the right time can take the taste of French fries to the next level.
"Well, it really smells so good."
Wangcai was also impressed by the taste.
"Brother Mingyun, I really didn't expect that fried French fries would taste so delicious. Maybe it's been too long since I've eaten them. I almost forgot what these French fries taste like."
"Well"
Faced with Wangcai's words, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a moment.
But overall, French fries are indeed the most popular delicacy, and their popularity among the public is much higher than that of stinky tofu.
So as long as Zhao Xun can control the quality of his French fries, he doesn't have to worry about no one paying attention.
As long as he can ensure that the French fries are made with care, he can then be ready to lie down and collect the money.
After all, the specific promotion is done by Wangcai, and the specific cooperation is done by Wangcai's business partners.
Zhao Xun doesn't need to worry about any of this.
"Okay, this batch of French fries is ready to be cooked. Wangcai, bring me a plate."
Zhao Xun and Wang Cai are now very good at working together.
This is even more tacit than when working with third senior brother Long Qingquan.
"Okay, here comes the plate."
Wangcai's enthusiasm was completely mobilized at this moment.
With such enthusiasm, you can basically perfectly enhance the intensity of cooking.
No matter what, maintaining a sense of strength is a very important thing.
If you can maintain a pretty good state from the beginning, then maintaining the so-called state will be a relatively simple matter.
On the contrary, if this state is not maintained at a relatively high level from the beginning, then it will be difficult to achieve the ultimate in delicious food in a short period of time.
After Zhao Xun took the fries out of the pot, his mouth watered when he looked at the golden fries.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention prosperity.
The wealth is almost flowing out now.
"Wow, it looks really delicious. I haven't tasted such fragrant French fries in a long time."
At this moment, Wangcai could no longer suppress his instincts and emotions, so he picked up French fries with his hands.
The taste is really amazing.
"Wow, the taste of these French fries is amazing, really amazing."
After just one bite, Wangcai was completely conquered by Zhao Xun's fried French fries.
This taste is really what he remembers, it is really the taste of the best French fries he has ever tasted.
Wangcai has always prided itself on being a top eater and a top gourmet.
So for him, using the best ingredients to enjoy them and giving them the most appropriate comments is what he must do.
Gourmets never praise a dish for no reason, and they never criticize a dish for no reason.
Their evaluations are based on the taste of the dishes themselves.
If the quality of a dish is excellent and the taste of a dish is outstanding, it will definitely attract diners from all aspects.
"Well"
"It smells so good."
"This French fries can really be listed as a must-eat snack. I really can't find a reason to take it. It's so delicious. It's really delicious."
Wangcai made the decision regardless of Zhao Xun's attitude. Of course, he was very sure that Zhao Xun would not think that the French fries had any shortcomings, and would definitely keep them as a reserved item without hesitation.
There is still a tacit understanding between the two on this point.
"Well, okay, let's add the fries. What's next?"
Zhao Xun has already made two fried snacks in succession, and he can make a refreshing one next.
"Let's have sesame paste cold noodles. This is easy to make and is perfect for a late-night snack."
The sesame paste cold noodles taste quite delicious and can satisfy your cravings in all aspects.
At first, Zhao Xun thought this snack was a bit too simple. But now he thinks about simple things, which may not be bad. Sometimes it is necessary to return to nature.
"Hehehe, brother Mingyun's cold noodles are quite delicious. I want to eat two bowls after you make them."
Zhao Xun's eyes widened, and he was thinking about wealth. Are you serious?
This is cold noodles. A bowl of it will make you feel quite full.
"You want two bowls?"
"Yes, why don't you believe it?"
Seeing Zhao Xun's doubtful expression, Wangcai felt a little unhappy for a while.
"Brother Mingyun, you are looking down on me. Let me tell you, you have to keep trying delicious food to get the ultimate experience. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?"
"That's true."
"Okay, I'm going to make cold noodles. You can help me cut some cucumber strips."
At this moment, Zhao Xun couldn't wait to start making cold noodles.
As for making money, start cutting cucumbers.
The division of labor between the two is quite good, ensuring an extremely comfortable state.
Zhao Xun’s first step in making cold noodles is to boil the noodles first and then rinse them with water.
Cold noodles, cold noodles, the moment when they are passed through the water is the core and most critical.
If this step is not handled properly, the texture of the noodles will be much worse.
"When cooking cold noodles, be sure not to cook them for too long, otherwise the noodles will easily become rotten. If the noodles become rotten, you can no longer make cold noodles. You can make soup noodles at most."
Zhao Xun seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be telling Wangcai some details.
The details of the cold noodles are actually not as many as imagined.
But some key points still need to be written down as much as possible.
Otherwise, you will probably still be in a relatively confused state.
Cold noodles made in a state of ignorance will not taste any better.
Zhao Xun knew that at this time he had to show the consciousness that a top gourmet should have.
Although he can show his best form from the beginning, Zhao Xun still feels that it feels better to gradually heat up.
"Okay, it's out of the pot."
You really shouldn’t cook cold noodles for too long, otherwise the condition of the entire noodles will become very poor.
Zhao Xun took the noodles out of the pot in time, and then poured them into a basin filled with cold water that had been prepared.
Then Zhao Xun was able to appreciate the chewy texture of the noodles.
It's really fragrant.
Although there is no sesame sauce or seasoning, the aroma of the noodles alone can conquer Zhao Xun at this moment.
Sometimes happiness is really a simple thing.
"Well"
"Okay, here are the cucumber sticks."
Wangcai brought the prepared cucumber strips at the right moment.
Zhao Xun took out the noodles that had been soaked in cold water and put them into the bowl along with the cucumber strips.
Add tahini and stir.
Wow, just smelling that smell makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Zhao Xun had not smelled this smell for a long time. The mellow taste of sesame paste was really a very special taste.
Just one sniff will make you take a deep breath.
"Wow"
"Hehehe, if I can guarantee it, I absolutely guarantee that cold noodles with sesame sauce will be a reserved item."
Wangcai has also been conquered by cold noodles at this moment.
This thing looks delicious.
If you look at the appearance, you won’t be deceived, so you can naturally indulge in a big meal.
Just tasting the taste of cold noodles can make people enjoy it very much.
"Okay, let's each have a bowl. We don't need to cook too much."
Zhao Xun was afraid that Wangcai would not be enough after eating it, so he made it clear beforehand.
He believed that after Wangcai understood this, he would stop being pretentious.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Wangcai was quite cooperative.
Anyway, Zhao Xun has been doing the cooking tonight. He is only responsible for the starting point. If he can get some points, it is pretty good. What other conditions are needed?
Besides, Zhao Xun has made so many snacks, it is best to eat some of them, so that you can eat almost every snack. Otherwise, if you eat them all, you will be full by the end. Even if
It won't help if there are other delicious things coming out.
Wouldn’t that make you feel very embarrassed and aggrieved?
Of course, Zhao Xun also understood the meaning of Wangcai. The two looked at each other and smiled and said no more.
The two started the storm mode!
A foodie, a foodie soul, a foodie for life!
There is no doubt that cooking is the most wonderful moment in one's life, and cooking is the most satisfying moment in one's life.
There's nothing that one meal can't solve, if so, then two.
Zhao Xun and Wang Cai cooked the rice very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to finish all the noodles.
"Wow, it smells so good."
"I'm satisfied, I'm really satisfied now."
Wangcai was actually quite full at this moment, but Zhao Xun had not finished all the midnight snacks.
So far, Zhao Xun has only made three midnight snacks.
Stinky tofu, French fries, cold noodles.
Each of the three types of late-night snacks has its own delicacy, and each of the three types of late-night snacks has its own characteristics.
It can be said that it basically covers all the advantages and advantages.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Just tasting these delicacies is enough to make everyone envious.
"Brother Mingyun, what are you going to do next?"
Wangcai asked while burping, and his whole body felt numb for a while.
"Haha, if you already eat like this, just eat less. I'm not talking about you. Since you have made a weight loss plan, you still have to control it. I don't stop you from eating, but
You can’t eat too much.”
"hey-hey"
At this moment, Wangcai scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Brother Mingyun, I will only eat two to three more kinds, and I will never eat more."
Just eat two or three more?
Good guy, Zhao Xun is very fond of wealth, but you really don’t talk about it at all.
"Okay, okay, let's get ready."
Zhao Xun knew that even if he tried to persuade Wangcai at this time, it would be of no use. In this case, it would be better to just ignore it. Anyway, this was the situation for Wangcai, so he probably gave up on treatment.
On the road to obesity and leanness, there is actually only one thought.
Wangcai chose to be obese, and Zhao Xun had nothing to do.
The next thing Zhao Xun has to do is to fry the meatballs.
Fried vegetarian meatballs are Zhao Xun's specialty, mainly because his family often made them for him when he was a child.
It is said that the taste that people eat when they are young will be very unforgettable. With the memory bonus, all the tastes will be upgraded accordingly.
Of course Zhao Xun also understands this truth.
For him, as long as he can ensure that he is always in a reasonable operating mode, the taste of the fried vegetarian meatballs will not be biased and must be the taste in his memory.
Many times, the taste is engraved deep in the memory.
In this case, the car will naturally not roll over.
"Okay, the wrapped vegetarian meatballs are ready for the pot."
It didn't take Zhao Xun long to wrap the meatballs, but the problem came after he finished wrapping them.
Do you need to change another pot of oil?
Theoretically, changing to a new pot of clear oil is the best option.
Because for Zhao Xun, every pot of new oil means a new beginning, and every pot of new oil means a completely different beginning.
But this time, Zhao Xun did not plan to change the oil.
The reason is also very simple.
Because the oil in these French fries is very clean and has no other taste at all.
The taste of fried stinky tofu is different.
The taste of fried stinky tofu is quite strong. If you add French fries next, the taste will definitely be completely different.
But the oil used for French fries will not have any impact when used to fry vegetarian meatballs.
"Okay, get off the pot."
Zhao Xun has a do-it-yourself character. Since he has already made up his mind, he will naturally not have any hesitation.
At this moment, Zhao Xun had already put all the wrapped vegetarian meatballs into the pot and fried them.
In his opinion, the taste of fried food will directly affect the evaluation of tasters.
So he also paid great attention to these details when frying the vegetarian meatballs.
Keep turning the meatballs over and over with a quick stirrer to ensure they are fried evenly.
Always frying in perfect condition is what Zhao Xun wants most.
"smell good."
Just smelling it can make people feel relaxed and happy.
Just smelling it can make people feel fragrant.
Just smelling it can make people feel wonderful and dreamlike.
Zhao Xun hasn't felt this way for a long time.
"Well"
“It smells so good”
Zhao Xun really felt this overflowing fragrance.
"Wangcai, what do you think of these fried vegetarian meatballs?"
"Well, it's very good, very good. Just looking at the appearance, it looks golden and festive."
"puff"
Zhao Xun almost burst out when he heard this.
"You are really a fascinator."
"Oh, the appearance of this delicacy is very important. Brother Mingyun, you don't know that the most important thing for the dignitaries in Chang'an City is the appearance. If the appearance is good, they will eat it. If the appearance is good, they will eat it.
If it’s not good, they won’t even take a second look.”
"Is that an exaggeration?"
When Zhao Xun heard this, he felt a little outrageous.
I was kidding, these dignitaries must be too pretentious.
Isn’t eating just about the taste?
Why does it feel like they are just trying to save face?
"Oh, so even if it's a snack, even a late-night snack, even if it's a delicacy for the public, you can't ignore the appearance. As for this meatball, the appearance is really excellent. Brother Mingyun, don't worry, this
The meatballs will never sell poorly."
"Haha, I'll lend you some good words then."
Zhao Xun quickly took the almost fried vegetarian meatballs out of the pan, and then poured them onto the plate prepared by Wang Cai.
For Wangcai, he is already familiar with all the processes.
For Zhao Xun, a smooth process is a guarantee of quality.
The current quality is truly unique in a sense.
"Get out of the pot."
When Zhao Xun poured the fried meatballs out of the pot one after another, Wangcai's restless heart could no longer be restrained.
"Brother Mingyun, I'm just going to have a taste first."
Seeing Wangcai like this, Zhao Xun was dumbfounded.
"Well, you can eat as long as you want."
After Wangcai got Zhao Xun's approval, he was in a good mood.
For him, it was really hard to stop at this moment.
"Smells, really smells."
When Wangcai put a vegetarian meatball into his mouth and chewed it, the soft and fragrant feeling, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside really made him feel elated.
"Brother Mingyun, these are really the most delicious vegetarian meatballs I have ever tasted."
"Um"
Zhao Xun thought: "As long as you like it."
Zhao Xun was indeed very happy at this moment.
Wangcai is a very good guy, this guy can really make friends, so what Zhao Xun has to do next is to keep Wangcai as happy as possible.
As for life, just be happy.
And the easiest way to make wealth and happiness is to eat well.
As long as you eat well and make money, you will definitely be happy.
Not to mention anything else, Wangcai can still maintain a basic attitude at this moment.
Then it is only natural that Zhao Xun rewards him with some delicious food.
Prosper wealth, prosper wealth, keep it up, and always be a sunny and happy young man.
"Well"
"hey-hey"
"Don't worry, Brother Mingyun, I am definitely the strongest when it comes to happiness. Always stay sunny, always stay happy, and always keep pursuing the pursuit of life."
"So next I decided to make us two glasses of juice."
"Still drinking?"
""
"Yes, milk tea is milk tea, and juice is juice. They are two completely different things. We just drank milk tea, and now it does not conflict with juice."
"Well"
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
"Okay, then do what you want."
"Hahaha, what kind of juice do you want to drink? Brother Mingyun, if I remember correctly, you seem to prefer orange juice, right?"
Zhao Xun thought to himself, "Actually, you don't know that my favorite drink is mango juice."
But the problem is that we can’t get mangoes here either.
So I can only use orange juice and watermelon juice instead.
Among the two, if Zhao Xun had to choose a favorite, it would be orange juice.
After all, orange juice is basically available, but watermelon juice has to be picked at a certain time.
"Well, let's take orange juice. Remember to add sugar for me, thank you."
Zhao Xun thought that a good bartender has a handful of sugar, which corresponds to a good chef a handful of salt.
Basically, all drinks will have extra points if they contain sugar, and none of them will taste too bad.
But there is one thing
Sometimes people deliberately seek polysaccharides.
But this actually makes no sense.
Zhao Xun thinks it’s okay to like sweets, but it must be done in moderation.
Everyone must be able to understand the principle that too much is too little, so if the taste of the entire drink can be guaranteed on this basis, then the bartender must be quite powerful.
Forget it, Zhao Xun has completely let Wangcai take care of the drinks. What he wants to do now is midnight snacks.
I just made too much fried food and made another cold noodles. Naturally, Zhao Xun can't make this kind of food anymore.
Now Zhao Xun is planning to make a dessert, and after careful consideration, custard croissant is a good decision.
Well, baking bread requires a lot of skills, and sometimes even some talent.
Of course, Zhao Xun's talent must be online. With talent, anything can be done.
"Okay, let's start making noodles."
Wangcai started making orange juice seriously.
Originally he wanted to make papaya juice.
But considering that Zhao Xun likes to drink orange juice, it would be a bit troublesome if he wanted to drink two kinds of fruits. So Wangcai simply started drinking orange juice.
In this way, there will basically not be a situation where two ends are busy. Otherwise, one will make orange juice and the other will make papaya juice, but some of them will be busy.
Of course Wangcai would not do this. He wanted to maintain the most basic composure.
"Well, the orange juice is almost squeezed. The next step is to add some sugar to the orange juice. Brother Mingyun said this specifically, and I can't forget it."
Wangcai carefully took some sugar and put it into the cup.
Then pick up a tuna and stir evenly, and a perfect cup of orange juice is ready.
Then Wangcai came to Zhao Xun with orange juice as a treasure.
"Brother Mingyun, I have made the orange juice as you requested. Come and try it and see how it tastes."
"Uh, thank you, Wangcai. Which one is mine?"
"This one on the left."
Wangcai smiled and said, "The cup on the left contains a lot of sugar as per your request. It must be very sweet."
"Well"
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
"Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try."
Zhao Xun really couldn't wait to see how delicious the juice made by Wangcai was. Even if he only tasted it, it still felt very special.
"Oh, this smells so good."
"Who says it isn't? The taste is simply amazing."
Wangcai followed suit and praised: "Brother Mingyun, I'm really not bragging. There are really not many people who can make a drink as perfect as I do. Enjoy it."
At this moment, Zhao Xun laughed loudly and said: "Well, Wangcai, do you know what you are doing now? That is Wang Po selling melons and bragging about himself. Not to mention whether the orange juice tastes good or not, the headquarters
You should be the one to say it."
"Well, Brother Mingyun, according to your opinion, the melon seller can't praise the deliciousness of the melons?"
"I'm not saying no, I'm just saying that this melon is indeed delicious, but it's best for others, especially customers, to say it. Of course it's okay for you, a melon seller, to say a few words, but if you keep saying it, it's just
It’s really frustrating.”
"Hahaha"
Wangcai scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a while.
Overall, Brother Ming Yun seems to have nothing wrong with what he said?
At this moment, Wangcai also started drinking orange juice to cover up his embarrassment.
It's just that his orange juice is much less sweet than Zhao Xun's cup.
but
Wangcai still looked happy drinking.
"Whirring whirring"
At this moment, the prosperity of wealth is really turning on the storm inhalation mode, and I drink tons of orange juice directly.
He drank so cleanly that there was not even a drop of the bottom left in the cup, and Zhao Xun felt like there was no one there.
"Hahaha Wangcai, your style of cooking has expanded to the level of drinking. I never expected the speed of your cooking."
"Oh, I've been chatting with you so much that I almost forgot about the real thing."
Zhao Xun quickly went to take out the baked custard buns.
"Freshly baked custard buns, does anyone want to eat them?"
Zhao Xun deliberately waved in front of Wangcai, causing Wangcai to be stunned.
"Well, Brother Mingyun, this custard bun looks very good."
"Would you like to have a taste?"
"certainly."
When it comes to delicious food, especially the delicious food made by Zhao Xun, Wangcai has always been willing to accept all comers.
As long as Zhao Xun is willing to bring it, Wangcai will definitely not hesitate and take it all!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Okay, now we can make some preparations and get ready for a big fight."
"Uh, what do you want to do?"
"Wash the dishes, wash the pots. After eating so much, do you think you don't have to work?"
Zhao Xun stared at Wangcai like he was staring at a fat sheep.
Good guy, there is no free lunch in the world. Wangcai is really too young. Do you want to eat for free, wipe your mouth and leave?
That doesn't exist, okay.
"Okay, let's start working after this dessert. Wangcai, Wangcai, you can't let me down, okay?"
"Oh my god, there are too many dishes. I really don't feel it when I'm cooking or eating, but I feel pain when I wash the dishes."
At this time, Zhao Xun simply wanted to cry without tears.
Also feeling on the verge of tears was his good helper Wangcai.
The little fat man was really going to cry his eyes out at this moment.
After finally washing the dishes, I felt like crying without tears.
"Oh, I really feel like I have washed all the dishes in my life. Brother Mingyun, we have too many dishes."
"That's all. So never underestimate the number of plates."
"Hahaha"
At this moment, Zhao Xun was really helpless.
"Okay, we're almost here today. Let's go back to our homes and rest."
After returning to his residence, Zhao Xun only felt that his back was sore and exhausted. He didn't want to do anything and just fell down and started to rest.
Good guy, this feeling of exhaustion is really frustrating.
A good sleep can relieve the fatigue at this moment.
Just before Zhao Xun fell asleep, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Zhao Xun, who was fascinated by Huhu, got up and went to open the door.
I was really shocked when I opened the door. I saw Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan holding a food box in his hand and saying with a smile: "Little Junior Brother, I've brought you a midnight snack."
When Zhao Xun heard the word "late night snack", he almost instinctively vomited.
Good guy, I still eat it
If he eats it again, he will really be unable to bear it.
Not just anyone can withstand something like this.
"That Third Senior Brother, I've already eaten a lot, and I really can't bear it anymore."
"Well"
"Have you eaten?"
"I just discussed with Wangcai about promoting milk tea and snacks. We always have to try them to know the taste. So I made a lot of snacks, and Wangcai also made milk tea and juice.
That smell"
"Hahaha"
"I see. Then it's an unlucky thing that I'm here. Let me tell you, little junior brother, why did your face turn so pale when you saw me?"
Zhao Xun thought to himself, "Good fellow, Third Senior Brother, you came at this time, in the middle of the night, even if it's true that I didn't have dinner, I'm probably going to be shocked. How can I expect to have a good look on my face?"
"Well, Third Senior Brother, you're already here, let's talk about it inside."
Although Zhao Xun was already very sleepy, he also knew that he could not turn away Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan at this time. Otherwise, it would be too rude.
"Come in and talk, come in and talk."
Zhao Xun took the initiative to step aside half of his body, and then welcomed his third senior brother Long Qingquan in.
"Oh, Junior Brother, to be honest, the reason why I came to see you late at night is because I have an important matter to discuss."
"Third senior brother, please speak."
Zhao Xun said to himself that the third senior brother is not such a disgusting person on weekdays. What's going on today? Isn't it strange that he is hesitating.
"Well, okay. If that's the case, then I'll say it."
Long Qingquan cleared his throat and said: "Actually, you probably know what I'm going to say, which is to work together to repair the formation. The previous routine was that we continuously transported the true energy to the formation, so that the formation
It can be perfected. Now it seems that the effect is not very good. Because I found that some academy disciples seemed to be lazy and did not fully inject the true energy into it."
"Well"
Zhao Xun was immediately confused when he heard this.
"Third Senior Brother, you mean there are people paddling in the academy?"
"Paddle? What does paddle mean?"
"Paddle means that you are not trying your best, but just using a little strength symbolically. They are among many people, so it is difficult to find them even if they are paddling. But this is very important to those who are trying their best.
It’s unfair.”
"Well"
Long Qingquan thought for a while and realized that this word was very subtle.
"That's what I mean, little junior brother. I found someone paddling in the academy, what should I do?"
"Well, it shouldn't be. We are all a family and have a community of interests. What's the point of paddling at this time?"
"Oh, so, this situation is really troublesome. If we can't make them aware of their problems in a reasonable way, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult next time."
Zhao Xun can understand the mood of third senior brother Long Qingquan at this moment.
Originally, the third senior brother thought that since everyone lived under the same roof and in the same Zhongnan Mountain, they should naturally share blessings and hardships.
When we really encounter difficulties and problems, no one in the academy should take the initiative to retreat, but everyone should rush forward. But the current situation is obviously not like this.
Judging from the current situation, someone must be paddling, and according to Zhao Xun's judgment, the third senior brother Long Qingquan should already know who is paddling.
He didn't point it out just out of politeness.
"This is a really tough issue."
Zhao Xun's brows also knitted together.
"Youdao means that it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household chores. I have said before that the people in our academy are like chopping wood. Since we are a family, we naturally have to stay together. Now some people have done something wrong, but it is not that
It's a matter of principle. Just paddling, I think it's hard to control our strength."
Zhao Xun's worries are also Long Qingquan's worries.
"That's what I'm saying. If it's really one person who made a big mistake, then he definitely didn't say anything about it, and he can deal with it how he wants. But if it's just paddling, I don't know how to deal with it."
Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's status in the academy is still quite high, second only to a few people such as the Mountain Chief, Senior Sister, and Second Senior Sister.
It can be said that if the third senior brother roars, he will still be quite influential.
So next we have to see what the third senior brother is going to do.
Of course Zhao Xun can give some suggestions, and Zhao Xun believes that the third senior brother will also consider his suggestions seriously.
Otherwise, why would the third senior brother make a midnight snack and carry a food box to deliver the midnight snack to Zhao Xun in the middle of the night?
This point of being able to do what you like is actually reflected incisively and vividly.
What's next?
Let’s see what Zhao Xun says next.
But the problem is that Zhao Xun actually doesn't have an accurate score in his heart right now.
It is difficult for an upright official to stop household affairs.
Facing his fellow seniors, Zhao Xun really didn't know what to say.
"Ahem, third senior brother, what kind of effect do you want to deal with this matter? Once we know what kind of effect you want, we can work out how to do it."
At this moment, Zhao Xun must show some proper attitude.
"Um"
Long Qingquan fell into deep thought for a while.
I have to say that what my junior brother said is quite reasonable.
Only when you figure out what you want to do can you do the reverse.
If you can't even figure out what you want to do specifically, then there is no point in reasoning back.
"I think we still need to make him aware of the seriousness of the problem. Of course, we can't dampen his enthusiasm. In short, there must be a balance."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that if you said it, you didn't say it.
He wanted this effect, and he wanted that effect. Zhao Xun listened to it again and again, but he felt that it was no different from mud.
Third senior brother, this is not possible.
"Ahem, Third Senior Brother, I think it's better for you to speak more clearly, or to be firmer. Otherwise, you may not be able to achieve the effect you want."
"Well"
Long Qingquan was confused for a moment.
"Junior brother, you mean that I have to focus on one point, right?"
"That's what it means."
"Then let's stop there."
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good fellow, it turns out that the third senior brother still can't get around this point.
The good old man is really a stone hammer.
Of course, whether he is a good person or not, at least the third senior brother's current performance is worthy of being labeled as the academy's temporary talker.
"Okay, then I have a plan in mind. I will come to you after I formulate a complete plan."
"It's getting late today, Third Senior Brother, you'd better go back and rest early."
Western Region, Anxi Protectorate.
After several days of hesitation, Jia Xingwen finally agreed to the arrangement of the Protector Liu Lin and agreed to escort this caravan composed of merchants from various countries in the Western Regions to Chang'an.
Of course, what ultimately prompted him to make up his mind was that he would have the opportunity to meet Zhao Xun.
This point is still very critical.
If he didn't consider this, Jia Xingwen probably wouldn't consider it at all.
Because Chang'an is his sad place after all.
After being away for so long, his scars still have not been completely healed.
Especially when he returned to Chang'an, Jia Xingwen was likely to see the ugly face of Emperor Xianlong, which made him feel even more disgusted.
So I can only say that I miss Zhao Xun. Missing Zhao Xun made Jia Xingwen pay more attention to him.
So he finally decided to go to Chang'an.
Today he was going to tell Liu Lin, the Protector-General, about this decision.
"Report to the Protector-General that my subordinates are willing to go to Chang'an."
"Haha, okay, okay."
Liu Lin, the Protector General, was overjoyed when he heard that Jia Xingwen finally relented.
"I'm really worried that you can't understand this. It seems that I'm worrying too much. Xingwen, you are a person that I like very much, and you are also my confidant. When you go to Chang'an this time, you must remember not to
So impulsive."
Jia Xingwen knew what Liu Lin meant, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, Protector, I am not alone now, and I represent the Anxi Army. I will not mess around."
"Well, that's good. After you finish paying tribute, you can find an opportunity to go to Zhongnan Mountain to meet Zhao Xun, but remember to hide your whereabouts and prevent others from discovering it. Otherwise, if the news reaches the court and reaches His Majesty's ears, it will not be very good.
Wonderful."
"Um"
Jia Xingwen nodded and said: "My subordinates have taken note of what Dadu Protector said. I also ask Dadu Protector to take care of his health. As long as Dadu Protector is healthy, the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion will have no worries."
After bidding farewell to the Protector Liu Lin, Jia Xingwen led five thousand elite soldiers to escort the Hu merchants sent by various countries in the Western Regions to Chang'an City.
The reason why Jia Xingwen wanted to bring so many troops was mainly because of the possible risks on the long road from Anxi to Chang'an.
The biggest risk is of course natural disasters, but there is no way to prevent this and it is beyond human power, so we won’t discuss it for now.
Apart from natural disasters, the biggest risks are actually horse thieves and bandits.
These guys specialized in robbing along the Silk Road.
If you encounter a weak caravan, you will directly seek wealth and death.
When encountering a caravan with strong escorts, they will ask for benefits and tolls before being allowed to pass.
Generally speaking, the caravan will not be serious at this time.
Usually I spend money to buy peace.
To be honest at this time is to feel sorry for yourself, which is completely unnecessary.
Generally speaking, the horse thieves would never dare to take action rashly if there were thousands of troops to protect them.
But if there are only a few hundred troops, the horse thieves may still be eager to try.
Jia Xingwen knew that escorting the caravan to pay tribute to Chang'an was of great significance, so he did not dare to be careless at all. He led thousands of troops to Chang'an from the beginning, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"General Jia, let's travel during the day and rest at night. In this way, we can reach Chang'an City in a few months."
When Jia Xingwen heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.
It seems like a few months goes by very quickly?
But if you think about it carefully, it’s actually not difficult to understand.
You should know that if the caravan just travels by itself, it may take half a year to get from the Western Regions to Chang'an.
It is precisely because of the military companions that the speed is increased invisibly, and the time is reduced.
From this perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
"Well, okay, just follow this routine."
Jia Xingwen nodded and said: "This speed is already the fastest we can travel so far. It's not enough to go too far. Even if the soldiers can go faster, these businessmen will definitely not be able to keep up."
"As you command!"
The soldiers immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order and left.
For Jia Xingwen, he has indeed established his prestige at the moment.
Ever since he dealt with a group of troublemakers, no one dared to point fingers at him.
This made Jia Xingwen more aware of the importance of being kind and not commanding troops.
If you act a little weak in front of the soldiers, they will think you are a soft persimmon and they will slap you in the face.
But if you show an extremely strong attitude from the beginning and set the rules, everything will actually be different.
Many times people have difficulty expressing their emotions because they feel embarrassed.
But this is not feasible in the army. Especially it is not feasible in the Anxi Army.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army have almost no recruits, they are all veterans.
These veterans have fought in the north and south, and have seen blood and killed people.
They themselves only believe in the so-called strong people, and they only believe in people with strong fists.
Basically no soldiers will choose to respect those who show weakness.
But if the general who leads them is a tough guy, then they will naturally follow his lead.
After understanding this truth, Jia Xingwen discovered that getting along with these soldiers of the Anxi Army was actually an extremely simple matter.
Everything that happens next depends on the running-in situation.
At least from now on, the soldiers of the Anxi Army have no resistance to him. This is a good start.
Jia Xingwen doesn't know how long it will take before we can completely become like a family.
All I can say is that he will do his best and hopes to get closer to the soldiers of the Anxi Army as soon as possible.
"This desert has suffered a lot since we arrived, and now it seems that we have to eat sand again."
Jia Xingwen had a bitter look on his face and sighed deeply.
Walking in the desert is never easy, let alone an entire army.
For the Anxi Army, this is a journey that they have to take.
In the early years, there were many oases along the Silk Road between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. However, with the decrease in rainfall in recent years, the oases have gradually decreased, and the desertification of the land has gradually become serious.
Suddenly everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Well, now it seems that desertification is worse than we thought."
But like everyone else, Jia Xingwen has nothing to do about the desertification of the oasis.
God is going to turn this place into a desert, what can they do?
All we can say is to try our best to ensure that existing towns are not swallowed up by the desert, and to plant as many trees as possible to fix the sand.
That's all we can do.
In fact, to be honest, Jia Xingwen did not expect that he would come to Anxi at first.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive in the bad people's yamen at that time, he would not have abandoned his hometown and traveled thousands of miles away.
But it was his departure that brought him huge opportunities.
Today, Jia Xingwen can be said to have met the most noble person in his life-Liu Lin.
With Liu Lin's help, Jia Xingwen can freely unleash his ambitions without any scruples.
With Liu Lin's help, Jia Xingwen can give full play to all his talents in life.
With Liu Lin's help, Jia Xingwen really felt as if he had been reborn.
He is really satisfied and really happy.
There is no exaggeration at all, it is completely sincere.
Alas, I wonder when I will have the opportunity to repay the kindness of the Protector.
After Jia Xingwen came to Anxi, he did several things that made Liu Lin applaud.
However, judging from the results alone, Jia Xingwen was not very satisfied.
Because in his opinion, what he did was within the scope of his responsibilities and was his duty.
He wanted to make some earth-shattering operations that could reverse the pattern of the Western Region.
But at present, it seems that there is no such opportunity.
So Jia Xingwen decided to wait.
He believed that he could finally wait.
One of the biggest problems when traveling in the desert is determining the direction.
If you can't determine the direction, you will basically keep going in circles in the desert.
If you go around in circles for a long time and still can't get out, you will most likely be trapped in the desert.
Even for caravans, supplies are limited. Danshui, in particular, is the scarcest resource.
Once the water is cut off in the desert, it means death.
Once buried in the vast yellow sand, there was no need to even look for a coffin.
Jia Xingwen's method is to use a compass.
This was a gift from Zhao Xun to him.
When Zhao Xun was still working in the Delinquency Office, he would often come up with some weird gadgets.
The compass was one of the many gifts he gave Jia Xingwen.
It can be said that when Zhao Xun took out the compass, Jia Xingwen was very excited and extremely moved.
At that time, Jia Xingwen felt that this thing was unusual, but he did not expect that it would be of great use at this time.
With a compass, you don't even need a guide.
With the compass in hand, Jia Xingwen could have the army follow it.
The guide sometimes gets lost in the lake, but the compass doesn't.
There is another very troublesome problem when marching in the desert, and that is the sun.
The poisonous sun hangs directly above, and the feeling of scorching sun will make people feel very uncomfortable.
The poisonous sun is scorching, and people will soon fall into a state of exhaustion.
Once dehydration begins, no matter what the environment is at that time, you must replenish water in time, otherwise your life will be in danger.
At this moment, Jia Xingwen was already aware of this problem.
The temperature in the desert is too high. And they don't have any shelter at the moment.
In this case, if you keep marching, it is really easy to cause problems.
But under the current circumstances, it was impossible for Jia Xingwen to order a rest.
There is no shelter now. If we stop and rest, is there no difference between being exposed to the sun?
Therefore, they must go to a sheltered place to rest, such as a sand cave or a rock cave. Or simply wait until sunset and dark to rest.
Before that, the entire army and caravans must grit their teeth.
There is really no good way for them now except to continue to persevere.
Persistence may not lead to hope, but failure to persevere will definitely lead to death.
It's so cruel and cold in the desert, and it's so unreasonable in the desert.
The wind and rain in the desert made everyone feel like they were on a tightrope, as if their mentality might suddenly explode at any time.
But Jia Xingwen knew that as the coach of this army, his mentality must not collapse.
Even if everyone else's mentality collapses, Jia Xingwen's mentality cannot collapse.
Otherwise
Otherwise, this army and caravan would probably become a piece of scattered sand.
As the backbone, Jia Xingwen's mentality must not collapse, but he must always appear calm and confident.
Only in this way can there be a turning point, and only in this way can there be hope.
if not
Don't dare to think about it.
"Oh, I hope it rains."
Rain can allow everyone to replenish water and relieve psychological stress.
After all, no matter who you are marching in the desert for a long time, you may be on the verge of a mental explosion at any time.
Everyone's emotions are extremely tense. Everyone's attitude may explode at any time.
Jia Xingwen knows that his influence is limited. Even if it can have some impact in a short period of time, it may still collapse in the long run.
So the best solution is to make it rain.
But Jia Xingwen also knew that this was not something he could influence with just one thought.
It depends on God's mood.
If God is in a good mood, it will rain heavily.
If God is in a bad mood, not a drop of water will fall.
Just when Jia Xingwen had such emotion, he suddenly felt something dripping on his face.
Um
ice cold
For a moment, Jia Xingwen was a little confused.
Does this mean it's raining?
Jia Xingwen was a little unsure.
But for now, it does seem to be raining.
"Well"
Jia Xingwen looked up.
Sure enough, heavy raindrops fell and hit him on the face.
Jia Xingwen even felt some pain.
But the emotion of joy is obviously more obvious.
"It's great, it's great. God has opened his eyes and it's raining. Send an order and tell everyone to catch the rain as much as possible."
Any water source in the desert is precious, whether it is groundwater or rainwater.
In the absence of these, one can even drink urine to survive.
Everything is about survival. People can do almost anything to survive.
People can do whatever they want to survive.
But now they no longer have to find water so hard.
God has rained. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate more rain, what are you waiting for?
Jia Xingwen didn't even need to make up his mind. The soldiers and businessmen took off the stoppers of the cowhide water bags and tried their best to catch the rainwater.
For them, none of them knew how long this sudden heavy rain would last.
They don't know how much rain they will receive.
But at least before the heavy rain stops, they will work hard to catch the rainwater and fill the water bags as completely as possible.
As long as they achieve this, their goal will be achieved.
As long as they achieve this, their efforts will be accomplished. As long as they achieve this, they will no longer regret it.
"Well"
At this moment, Jia Xingwen also felt a little moved.
Did God really hear his plea for rain? Did God sense his request?
It is said that God is a ruthless existence, but now it seems that it is not as imagined.
Jia Xingwen was really happy at the moment.
It would be really great if we could have such good luck on our way to Chang'an this time.
"The order goes down, everyone rests on the spot. This time, catch the rain and drink enough."
God rewards you with food, and God rewards you with water. These are things that can be encountered but cannot be sought.
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make enough money at once, you will definitely regret it sometimes.
Therefore, for Jia Xingwen, his subordinates and businessmen, taking this opportunity to have a full drink is of course the best choice.
I took this opportunity to take a rest.
Rest itself is an extremely luxurious thing.
Especially at times like this.
Everyone's faces showed joy.
For them, it is enough to enjoy the present moment.
At nightfall, Jia Xingwen led everyone to rest in a cave.
This cave is big enough to accommodate thousands of people.
This way they don't have to worry about wind and sand when sleeping.
Otherwise, if you wake up overnight, you may become unrecognizable, and you may even be buried alive.
But with this sheltered cave, they at least don't have to worry about this problem.
Jia Xingwen lived in the back of the cave. The soldiers formed a tight circle, surrounding Jia Xingwen in the center.
For Jia Xingwen, after a long day of exhaustion, he could finally relax and have a good sleep.
Fatigue hit him instantly, and Jia Xingwen couldn't bear the sleepiness any longer.
For Jia Xingwen, even a little bit of rest is crucial.
Besides, it seems like he should be able to have a good sleep now.
Rest is really extremely important. Rest can buffer and relax people's spirit, so that their nerves no longer need to be so tense all the time.
Rest can keep people in a relatively relaxed state.
Jia Xingwen can no longer control so much at the moment.
He was too tired at this moment.
There was only one thing he wanted to do now, and that was to fall asleep.
"Hoo, ho ho"
It didn't take long before Jia Xingwen fell into sleep.
A night of silence.
When Jia Xingwen woke up, he realized that it was already dawn.
After getting up and walking outside, Jia Xingwen noticed a very shocking scene when he walked to the entrance of the cave.
I saw that the entire cave entrance was half sealed.
The sand has been piled up to half a person's height.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, get up quickly and shovel the sand out. Otherwise we will all be trapped here."
Jia Xingwen was a little anxious, his mood was a little excited, and his tone was quite high.
"call"
When Jia Xingwen realized this, he knew that he must shovel away all the sand as much as possible.
Only in this way can safety be guaranteed.
If the sand is allowed to accumulate like this, the entrance to the cave will be completely sealed before long.
By then, even if all of them work together to clean up the sand, it may not be possible.
Naturally, they should not hesitate any longer while there is still a chance.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
If you continue to hesitate at this time, you will be irresponsible to yourself. If you continue to hesitate at this time, you will be indulgent to yourself.
Soon, the soldiers of the Anxi Army were called up, and even the businessmen began to help shovel the sand.
Shoveling sand is not an easy task.
Especially when faced with such severe form.
Almost everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem.
So they are working very hard now, knowing that they are racing against time. A moment's negligence may cause the situation to take a turn for the worse.
"call"
Jia Xingwen knew that he must not panic at this time.
He is the absolute commander-in-chief of this Anxi army, so he must set an example at this time.
"call"
At this moment, Jia Xingwen must work hard to adjust his emotions and make all the soldiers of the Anxi Army realize that they can get out of this desert alive.
If everyone can hold this view from the beginning, if everyone can unswervingly believe from the beginning that they can walk out of the desert alive, then they have great hope.
On the contrary, if everyone is desperate from the beginning.
The Anxi Army was desperate, and the merchants were also desperate. Then there was basically no possibility.
Jia Xingwen knew that at this time, it was actually a matter of one breath.
If they can bite the bullet, they can basically survive.
"Everyone, please work harder. We will definitely be able to get out alive and reach Chang'an City safely."
"call!"
Zhao Xun suddenly woke up from the bed.
He felt very scared.
He just had a dream that Brother Jia Xingwenjia was trapped in the desert.
A big sandstorm came and buried Brother Jia Xingwenjia under the sand dunes.
Zhao Xun could see Jia Xingwen's position, but he couldn't get close.
In the end, Brother Jia Xingwen Jia only had one hand left outside the sand dune.
Zhao Xun woke up when he dreamed of this.
Good guy, can't this dream be true?
Bah, bah, bah, this must be fake.
Aren’t dreams always reversed?
What's more, under the current circumstances, Brother Jia Xingwen Jia should stay in Anxi honestly.
Although the conditions in the Anxi Protectorate are not as good as those in Chang'an, it is not full of yellow sand, right?
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he was really thinking blindly.
However, this also corresponds to what Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou said, think about it every day and dream about it at night.
But now Zhao Xun obviously does not need to consider this issue.
Last night he promised his third senior brother Long Qingquan to help with the housework in the academy.
Since he agreed, Zhao Xun naturally had to keep his word.
If he breaks his promise and gets fat, it's not Zhao Xun's character or his style.
After getting up, washing up, arranging his hair in front of the bronze mirror, Zhao Xun strode out of the bamboo building.
The person he is looking for is 19th Senior Brother Liu Hongji.
Yes, the person who paddled the water mentioned by the third senior brother is the 19th senior brother Liu Hongji.
Strictly speaking, Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong can no longer be regarded as a complete academy member.
He can only be considered half at most.
The reason why he can be counted as half is because he was forced to join the academy at the beginning. He lost a bet to Shanchang and agreed to join the academy.
At that time, the Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong was no longer a disciple of the academy, but a very talented junior who studied swordsmanship. At that time, he felt that he was quite remarkable, so he took the initiative to come to Zhongnan Mountain to challenge the mountain leader.
This is of course a very stupid behavior, but in the eyes of the 19th senior brother Liu Hong, it is nothing.
There are many people in the world who challenge the mountain leader, but he is not the only one.
If he can defeat the mountain leader, he will become famous.
There is no shame in losing.
It can be said that this is a sure-profit business.
So Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong came here resolutely.
But his swordsmanship is indeed very advanced, so he was still confident when he challenged the mountain leader for the first time.
But as soon as the mountain chief took action, the 19th senior brother Liu Hong was already stupid.
Because he found that he could not even withstand the combined strength of the mountain chief.
The mountain leader broke his natal sword with just two fingers.
For a time, Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong was completely convinced.
He didn't expect the mountain leader to be so strong. He also felt extremely ashamed of his frivolity.
So from then on, the 19th senior brother Liu Hong decided to join the academy.
However, although he joined the academy, it was not considered a complete joining. Because he had an agreement with the mountain chief that he could leave Zhongnan Mountain and Haoran Academy at any time as long as he completed his studies. At that time, the mountain chief could not stop him at all.
The mountain chief also agreed. Therefore, everyone has always believed that the 19th senior brother Liu Hong can only be regarded as half of the academy.
But these are all things for later.
Now Zhao Xun is more concerned about why the 19th senior brother Liu Hong has not used all his strength and why he keeps paddling.
Although the Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong is no longer a disciple of the Academy in the full sense, but even so, he must exert his strength when it is time to exert his strength, and he must exert his strength when it is necessary to exert his strength.
But the 19th senior brother Liu Hong has chosen to keep paddling.
That's why the third senior brother is so angry.
Zhao Xun can actually understand the third senior brother's mood.
That's why he asked the third senior brother to calm down.
Zhao Xun will personally come forward to discuss this matter with his 19th senior brother Liu Hong.
If third senior brother Long Qingquan had such a fiery temper, Zhao Xun could imagine what would happen.
After thinking carefully, it is better not to let Third Senior Brother take this risk.
Otherwise, it may have been going well without any major problems, but it ended up being unable to end for a while.
Zhao Xun's character is relatively peaceful.
With Okinawa's peaceful personality, there won't be any major problems.
As long as the Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong does not seek death, Zhao Xun can maintain a good initiative.
Soon Zhao Xun walked to the bamboo building where his 19th senior brother Liu Hong was already.
This bamboo building is not very far from the bamboo building where Zhao Xun is located.
Zhao Xun had a smile on his face and walked over to greet him enthusiastically.
"Hello, Brother Nineteen."
"Junior brother, are you looking for me?"
"Uh, Senior Brother Nineteenth, could you please take a step to talk?"
Seeing Zhao Xun's mysterious look, Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong frowned.
"What is so important? That's all, I'll let you go."
Zhao Xun walked in front, and 19th senior brother Liu Hong was already walking behind.
After the two of them walked deep into the bamboo forest, Zhao Xunfang cleared his throat and said, "Haha, Senior Brother Nineteenth, I want to say a few words of personal respect to you, so don't be angry."
"How could that happen? Junior brother, you and I are all our own people. There is nothing to be angry about."
Nineteenth senior brother Liu Hong immediately patted his chest and promised that he would never be angry.
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and bravely said: "Actually, the thing is like this. Some time ago, didn't everyone discuss injecting real energy into the talisman array in the academy to repair the damage? Later, the third senior brother said that you don't seem to have it.
How much effort did you put in? Later, the third senior brother came to me specifically, hoping that I could have a chat with you. Don’t think too much, I just wanted to have a casual chat with you and see if you have any special ideas."
"Um?"
Nineteenth senior brother Liu Hong heard this, but his heart skipped a beat and he was surprised.
Good guy, this was beyond his expectation.
"Is this what Third Senior Brother told you?"
Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong gave a wry smile and said: "Actually, I did not try my best. But I have a reason."
"Speaking."
"Well, this is a little hard to say. Because my physical condition is not very good recently, so I need to ensure that the vitality in my body is sufficient. Naturally, I cannot output a large amount of vitality."
"Are you not feeling well?"
After hearing this, Zhao Xun felt a little surprised.
"Senior Brother Nineteenth, haven't you always been in good health?"
"This time, that time."
Nineteenth senior brother Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said: "I was in good health before, but I just got married recently, and my health has been getting worse and worse since I got married. Well, you know the reason..."
good guy
Although the 19th senior brother Liu Hong did not explain clearly, Zhao Xun did understand.
"Then I can't help you with that. I can only say that you have to pay attention to restraint. There is nothing wrong with being more restrained."
"Well, who says it's not the case? In fact, I already pay great attention to restraint. But alas, that's all, I won't say more."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that this was really embarrassing.
It seems that Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong has been tortured a lot recently.
Therefore, it is understandable that he did not inject a large amount of vitality into the Academy Talisman Formation.
Because the body of Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong has been hollowed out.
If all the remaining vitality and true energy are transferred out at this time, the whole person will collapse.
"I see, then we can understand. It seems that Third Senior Brother has misunderstood you."
Zhao Xun felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
The third senior brother was really blind in making judgments without clarifying the situation in advance. As a result, Zhao Xun had to go through embarrassment to come and talk to the 19th senior brother Liu Hong.
But fortunately, it's been explained clearly, at least they don't have to continue to struggle with this issue anymore.
However, after this incident, Zhao Xun has gained a good memory and can no longer blindly trust his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
It's one thing to hear some things told by Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, but it's another thing to do it yourself.
Only when these are clarified can we make reasonable judgments.
Otherwise, any judgment will be blind and unreasonable.
"Well"
"Then I won't disturb you and say goodbye. That 19th senior brother, please take care of yourself. Take care of yourself."
That's all Zhao Xun said. He really couldn't say more.
Zhao Xun ran away from the bamboo forest, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, he ran fast enough. As long as he didn't feel embarrassed, the only one who would be embarrassed would be Senior Brother Nineteenth!
At this moment, what Zhao Xun had to do was to go and explain the situation clearly to his third senior brother, Long Qingquan.
It would also be good for Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan to have a better memory. In the future, he should not say that the wind is the rain, but he must understand the situation before making a judgment.
Otherwise, it is easy to do things that hurt people's feelings.
Zhao Xun felt really helpless.
It's like he's splitting the difference between these two ends.
Soon Zhao Xun arrived at the residence of third senior brother Long Qingquan.
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Xun knocked on the door softly.
"Is Third Senior Brother here?"
There was a response quickly.
"Junior brother, wait a moment."
Soon, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan came to open the door.
Long Qingquan stretched out his hand to welcome Zhao Xun in, but Zhao Xun said quickly: "That's not necessary. I came here to explain the situation to Third Senior Brother. I have already gone to find Nineteenth Senior Brother Liu Hong. His
I actually already know the situation."
"Oh? So fast? Junior brother, your speed is okay. What is going on?"
Long Qingquan made that iconic move again, holding his chin with one hand, and nodded beautifully.
"Well, here's the thing"
Zhao Xun then repeated exactly what his 19th senior brother Liu Hong had told him to his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan also felt very embarrassed after hearing this.
"Ah, I didn't expect such a result. I really didn't expect it."
At this moment, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan was indeed very embarrassed.
"Cough cough cough"
"Actually, this situation is much more complicated than we expected."
"So this can't all be blamed on Senior Brother Nineteenth. The situation is actually a bit special. I probably wouldn't be able to handle it."
"Um"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan is not an unreasonable person either.
After figuring out the situation, he nodded.
"If that's the case, then I can actually understand it. Junior Brother Nineteenth has no choice. I blamed him wrongly."
After a pause, Long Qingquan continued: "That's it, let's leave this matter behind and don't mention it again. Junior brother, let's make breakfast first."
Western Region, desert.
When Jia Xingwen led a group of Anxi Army soldiers and caravan members to shovel out all the sand at the entrance of the cave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest danger of living in a cave like this is that many unexpected things may happen.
The most obvious thing is that the entrance to the cave will be sealed by sand.
It's okay if it's half-blocked like this. If it's blocked directly, it would be really hard to cry without tears.
And once the entrance of the cave is completely sealed, no matter how hard the people inside dig out the sand, it will be difficult to completely dig out the sand.
At this moment, Jia Xingwen was under tremendous pressure.
He didn't know if he could lead this army far with his current strength, and he didn't know if he could successfully lead this caravan to Chang'an with his current strength.
At the beginning, Jia Xingwen thought the situation was very good.
But now he found that the situation was not what he imagined.
There are really too many variables in the Gobi desert.
Maybe it was one thing just now, but a moment later it will be completely different.
Faced with sudden changes, Jia Xingwen must react immediately.
If he is slow to react, he will face an extremely embarrassing situation next.
With so many people waiting for him to lead the way, Jia Xingwen cannot make any mistakes at this time.
If he makes a mistake, it will affect not only himself, but almost everyone.
"Get the order and start walking. The sun hasn't fully risen yet and the weather isn't too hot. Let's hurry up."
Jia Xingwen knew that they would have to walk in the desert for countless days and nights before they could reach the sandbank.
Things will get much better after arriving at the sandbank.
Although the Hexi Corridor is a little desolate compared to the Central Plains, it is like a wonderland compared to places like the Gobi desert where birds don't shit.
So Shazhou has now become a spiritual pillar in Jia Xingwen's mind.
If he can successfully lead the army and caravan to Shazhou, then Jia Xingwen will be confident to lead them to Chang'an.
Therefore, at this time, it is even more important to work hard and use all your strength.
Only by mustering up enough strength can we rush to the sandbank in one breath.
Now they have only encountered natural disasters. If they encountered man-made disasters, it would be even more terrible.
Facing natural disasters and man-made disasters, if the Anxi army and caravans want to be safe and sound, Jia Xingwen needs to put in incomparable efforts and patience throughout the process.
Patience is necessary. If he is always in a manic state, it will be difficult to make rational judgments.
And if Jia Xingwen cannot make a rational judgment, then the entire Anxi Army will be annihilated.
Before setting off, Jia Xingwen had issued a military order to the Protector Liu Lin, and he swore that he would bring the Anxi Army to Chang'an and then bring the Anxi Army back to the Western Regions.
He cannot break his oath.
Therefore, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, Jia Xingwen will still try hard and fulfill his responsibilities.
Western Region, Kingdom of Shaz.
Master Hui'an has been in a much better mood recently.
Because after some contacts with him, many warring countries in the Western Region have agreed to form an alliance again to fight against the Anxi Army.
Although the Anxi Army has not done much since its return to the Western Regions, it has only been stationed in the fields and training troops.
But even so, it can be said to have put great pressure on the countries in the Western Region.
The biggest pressure is that some peace-promoting Western Region countries have sent envoys and caravans to Chang'an.
They want to pay tribute.
After paying tribute, they will be taken care of by the Anxi Army, which is equivalent to surrendering to the Anxi Army.
This is tantamount to giving a wake-up call to the warring countries in the Western Regions!
For Master Hui'an, if they are unable to respond positively in the future, it is likely that the morale of the entire Western Region's main war faction will plummet.
As the leader, Master Hui'an knew that he had to choose to stand up at this moment.
At this moment, he must come up with something unique to himself.
Only in this way can he make all Anxi troops understand who has the final say in the Western Region.
The strength of the Tantric Sect in the Western Regions is very powerful.
Its influence does not only cover the Western Regions, but it is relatively less prosperous in the Central Plains.
This time Master Hui'an will use this golden opportunity to let the people of the Central Plains understand the consequences of offending the Buddhists in the Western Regions.
His stupid senior brother, Master Huiyan, was still thinking about pleasing the emperor of the Central Plains and promoting Buddhism in the Western Regions with the help of the Central Plains court.
At this moment, what Master Hui'an has to do is to tell his stupid senior brother with practical actions that this will not work.
Many times people always place their hopes and illusions on others.
This is something Master Hui'an cannot understand.
It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.
There is nothing wrong with relying on yourself when necessary.
Master Hui'an never thought that others could bring him hope.
Whenever faced with deep adversity, Master Hui'an would always rely on himself to save the day.
This time is no exception.
Although this time Master Hui'an is not fighting one or two people, but the powerful Anxi Army.
But Master Hui'an didn't feel anything was wrong.
In his opinion, even if he had to fight the entire Anxi Army, there was nothing he could do to be cowardly.
Because in his opinion, the Anxi Army is just a paper tiger that looks powerful.
In fact, it is strong on the outside and dry on the inside, and it can be broken with just one poke.
As long as he can attack the Anxi Army at the right time and at the right place, the Anxi Army will quickly deflate like a punctured sheepskin raft.
At times like this, Master Hui'an must remain calm.
Because he is the leader of the main war faction in the Western Regions.
At this time, he must show extremely strong strength to be able to lead all the warring countries in the Western Regions to jointly fight against the Anxi Army.
As long as the Anxi Army is driven away, Buddhism in the Western Regions will continue to gain stronger influence in this generation.
