Chen Mo listened to Cheng Zhuzhu's explanation and felt a little relieved. As for His Majesty being so happy, this old man must have flattered him a lot. In other words, the old man may know that someone is watching him, but this is not Chen Mo.
What I was paying attention to was waiting for what the old man was going to say next.
"And today's rivers and lakes are full of waves. Countless waves are surging. Don't doubt that you are one of them. However, are you one of the ten biggest ones?"
"Then who are the ten waves this year?" someone shouted. "How many of last year's ten are left?"
On the second floor, Cheng Zhuzhu squeezed towards Wu Kou and sat on the same bench. She chose to sit on the side of the railing and looked at the old storyteller below with great interest.
"You didn't come here to hear what this old man said, did you?" Wu Kou held one side of his head with his hand and a wine bowl in the other, looking at Cheng Zhuzhu and said.
"Is it weird? I come here every year to listen to him talk about the ranking of newcomers in the world, haven't I told you all about it?" Cheng Zhuzhu glanced at Wu Kou, and then said with an unhappy look on his face: "Have you forgotten?
, do you not have me in your heart, and don’t take my words into your heart at all.”
"Ahem." Wu Kou was really choked by her straightforward words. "Speak carefully."
Cheng Zhuzhu hummed, turned her head, and continued to look downstairs.
"Half of last year's ten big waves were lost. This is the cruelty of the world."
"How about the Shangguan girl from Red Demon Pavilion?" Someone asked with concern.
"Miss Shangguan?" Chen Mo murmured.
"It's Shangguan Mingyue of the Red Demon Pavilion, don't you know?" Cheng Zhuzhu said. According to Wu Kou, he is a fierce man. He should have heard of the names of those ten people: "She is very popular.
One of the people I admire the most."
Cheng Zhuzhu's eyes lit up as she spoke, and she began to talk about her idol: "Shangguan Mingyue became famous five years ago and has been on the list for five consecutive years. Not only has he not been overtaken by others, but he has made steady progress. He was already on the list last year.
She is the third among the younger generation. If she can cross that big hurdle, she might be able to compete with the seniors."
"Shangguan Mingyue is not young anymore."
Wu Kou just sighed, which immediately attracted an angry look from Cheng Zhuzhu. Even the people in other positions on the side gave him bad looks. However, due to his status, he did not curse or fight. Presumably these people also
Followers of Shangguan Mingyue.
"She is not yet thirty, and besides, she still combines strength and beauty. You may not understand her, but you cannot disrespect her."
"Okay, okay." Wu Kou hurriedly said a few good words, but he muttered in his heart: When it comes to respect, you should talk about the person next to you. He is the person who attacked Shangguan Mingyue without any courtesy.
I won't show any pity to you either.
What the warriors were referring to was the incident in which Chen Mo flew his sword at Shangguan Mingyue during the martial arts contest.
"Besides, Senior Shangguan is your little lover's senior sister after all, so you have to stand by her side no matter what."
Wu Kou almost spit out a mouthful of wine: "My little lover, please don't talk nonsense. I am a grown man and it doesn't matter, but don't ruin his reputation."
Chen Mo was forced to hear the gossip about the warriors.
When Cheng Zhuzhu was explaining to Chen Mo, the person downstairs also briefly talked about Shangguan Mingyue's current situation. She was still on the list of ten people, and she was still among the top three, but the words were very brief. Of course, this
It is short for people like Chen Mo who are exposed to this kind of thing for the first time, but for other old perverts, ah, no, for old listeners, it is enough for them to know that the woman is still on the list.
.
Chen Mo didn't know the specific facts of the people mentioned in this list, but he could roughly know it through Shangguan Mingyue's strength. What Chen Mo knew was that Shangguan Mingyue's strength had three realms.
Then the old man mentioned a few names that Chen Mo had never heard of before. The introductions were very short, because these people were still on the list last year. The old man didn't seem to like repeating previous introductions, unless there were some outstanding events.
Just like this year, they talked about a certain person's fight for the first place, but they didn't go into details, leaving a lot of mysteries. No matter how much the audience shouted, they were indifferent.
This may be this old man's routine. Some things are buried in mystery today and will be discussed later. As for the day after this, no hint will be given. If you don't want to miss it, you can come to Zuixian Tower every day to wait. Some people are really
I was so angry that my teeth itched, but I couldn't get angry, but no one could make trouble in Zuixian Tower.
After talking to those people, the old man drank up a large bowl of tea just brought by a wine girl, and said again: "Old ones go, new ones come. Someone has to fill those five holes. You must know the five holes."
How people were driven down by latecomers, please listen to me slowly tell you."
While listening and drinking, Chen Mo felt for the first time that listening to a book could be so interesting. Is this how Yan Yu felt when he was listening to a book in an alley?
A jar of wine was quickly consumed with the delicious appetizers. Before Chen Mo could say anything, Wu Kou consciously called the wine girl to serve the wine. Naturally, it would not be the same wine as before, and again
It's expensive and tastes bad, and the military commanders don't like it anyway.
Wukou looked at the two of them listening to the storyteller downstairs with great interest. He was like an outsider. He didn't really like to hear it. If they had talked about the war before, he would have been happy to miss it.
Wu Kou simply gave up his position to Cheng Zhuzhu. Just as he was about to move his buttocks, Cheng Zhuzhu grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? Sit down quietly."
"I'll change my position so you can sit more comfortably."
"Just sit down so I can feel comfortable." Cheng Zhuzhu said without mind at all.
"this..."
"You are the ninth oldest man, why are you still afraid of this and that? I don't even care, you are so panicked..."
"Okay, Miss Cheng will do whatever she says. Anyway, it's not me who suffers."
Cheng Zhuzhu turned her head and secretly laughed.
After a while, the wine girl brought them the wine they asked for, and also brought a box of exquisite snacks, which were much better than what was served before.
"I didn't order this?" Wukou looked at the box of snacks and asked doubtfully.
"A gift from the restaurant." The wine girl simply replied and then left.
Just when he was wondering if there was any conspiracy, Wu Kou caught a glimpse of Cheng Zhuzhu's playful smile from the corner of his eye.
"Why are you laughing? Is this a surprise created by you?"
Cheng Zhuzhu smiled "hehe" and did not answer. She continued to listen to the old man's passionate description, leaving the military commander with a confused look on his face.
The old man was finishing talking to the four people, and there was only one person left, so he finished summarizing the world of this younger generation.
The old man took another sip of tea and continued: "I have already mentioned two of the three winners of the Ou family's competition, and there is only one left. This one is really mysterious. No one knew his name before.
No. 1, but suddenly emerged as a force, and shined brightly in that martial arts tournament, directly destroying the reputation of the other two people. From those who witnessed the martial arts tournament, I learned that although there were three winners in this martial arts tournament,
, but in fact he is the only one who is truly number one.”
Chen Mo was listening happily in front of him, but when he heard the old man mention this, he instantly lost interest, turned his head back, and started drinking with Wu Kou.
"Oh? Why don't you listen? This last one is the finale." Cheng Zhuzhu glanced at Chen Mo and asked.
"Drinking is still fun." Chen Mo said lightly.
"Yes, yes, drink and drink." Wu Kou happily touched the wine bowl with Chen Mo. Of course he heard what the old man said and knew who he was talking about.
"It is said that this man met Mu Qi, the popular swordsman in the martial arts competition. You must know that Mu Qi was ranked seventh among the ten young people at that time. Even with such fame, he still lost to this man's sword.
Down."
"And this young man who was in the limelight disappeared again after the conference. When I received the news again, it was not long ago."
"And this time, he has done something bigger."
"Have you all heard of the Hongchen Garden outside Daotu Temple?"
All the guests nodded. The reputation of Hongchen Garden was still very good in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not a good reputation.
"The Red Dust Garden is inhabited by a group of extremely vicious people, and after that person won the first place in the competition, he disappeared and hid in the Red Dust Garden."
"There, he once again raised the sword he won in the competition, started the killing spree, and transformed into an evil ghost. The number of people who died under his hands could not be counted with two hands."
"During this period, he met Mu Qi, who had experienced it again. It can be said that they were enemies on a narrow road, and then there was an earth-shattering battle."
The old man described the battle in great detail, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, and many guests were deeply attracted.
"In the end, Mucci died of exhaustion, and a generation of rookies fell into the hands of evil people."
"Why do you say that person is a bad person?" a female guest asked.
"Why? Because he had a battle in the Red Dust Garden, but it was quite bloody. After defeating his opponent, he cut the man into pieces. No, it should be cut into 180 pieces, just like Ling Chi executed him.
, that scene was quite bloody.”
"Although the opponent is also a well-known evil person in Hongchen Garden, this method shows that that person is more evil than the evil person."
"Since he is a villain, why did you include him in the ten people you mentioned?" Someone asked in confusion.
"I didn't say that evil people can't be ranked. It's just your wishful thinking that those are all good people. Pure good people do not exist in the world."
"Old sir, you haven't said that person's name yet." Cheng Zhuzhu asked loudly while lying on the railing on the second floor.
Others also echoed, and some even vowed: "Don't let me know where he is in Tang State, otherwise I will definitely ask someone to kill him and eliminate harm for the people."
I don’t know what the purpose of this person is. For the sake of his own reputation, he still wants to attract the attention of more girls.
