"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?" Situ Qianyu was a little confused. Of course she had heard this word and knew its meaning, but she really couldn't figure out what Chen Xuan wanted to do?
However, Chen Xuan did not explain to Situ Qianyu. He took Situ Qianyu's hand and said, "Let's go, let's walk around the city first."
Situ Qianyu asked, "Chen Xuan, where should we go?"
"Go wherever the busiest place is."
Half an hour later, Chen Xuan had already brought Situ Qianyu to a luxurious restaurant. This was the busiest place in the entire city.
Although Situ Qianyu didn't know what Chen Xuan was going to do, she naturally had no other opinions about Chen Xuan's decision.
And her intuition told her that this man might play a big role in the Southern Chu Dynasty!
After entering the restaurant, Chen Xuan and Situ Qianyu sat down in an eye-catching place. Situ Qianyu ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and just sat aside and looked at Chen Xuan quietly.
However, after the bottle of wine had bottomed out, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a little depressed. His swaggering appearance should be considered relatively high-profile, right? Why hasn't anyone discovered him yet? Is it possible that these guys have problems with their eyes?
Your portraits are all over the streets. As long as you appear, these people should be the first to notice you, right?
But the reality is completely different from what Chen Xuan thought, because no one has discovered him yet. There are discussions all around about the destruction of the Fengtian royal family and the death order issued by the War God Academy. The same goes for Chen Xuan.
It kept coming from their mouths, but Chen Xuan was sitting next to them, and they didn't notice it at all.
Seeing Chen Xuan's depressed look, Situ Qianyu burst into laughter.
Chen Xuan touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Qianyu, these guys don't seem to be able to use their eyes very well. How about we bully them and attract their attention?"
Situ Qianyu shrugged and said with a smile, "I have no objection, but what you did in the Fengtian Dynasty has spread throughout the entire Northern Territory. Maybe they didn't expect that you would dare to act openly under such a terrifying killing order.
Appeared, right?"
As the two of them were talking, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar suddenly appeared next to them. He looked at Chen Xuan with a smile and asked politely, "You two, I am a traveling storyteller."
Yes, the route here lacks some entanglements. Don’t you two want to listen to the story? It’s not expensive, just a piece of high-grade spiritual stone will do.”
Chen Xuan looked at this polite middle-aged man dressed as a scholar with some surprise. He and Situ Qianyu looked at each other, and then asked with a smile, "I wonder what stories you can tell?"
"I wonder what story my friend wants to hear?" The middle-aged man sat down with a smile.
Chen Xuan found it very interesting because he didn't even notice how close the middle-aged man was to him just now.
"Okay, you can tell me whatever you want and listen to it." Chen Xuan stretched and said.
The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. You, a storyteller, actually drank my wine. Have you asked me? You should at least say hello, right?
Of course, Chen Xuan didn't mind this middle-aged man's behavior.
"Friend, how about I tell you a story about an old dog?" He looked at Chen Xuan and asked with a smile after drinking.
Chen Xuan nodded; "Please do."
After that, he asked again: "Before you tell this story, I want to ask you first, are you sure you don't know me?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said in a calm tone: "I know, who knows the name of my friend in the dozens of countries in the Northern Territory? Many dynasties have issued reward orders, and anyone who can find the whereabouts of my friend will be rewarded ten
Billions of Spiritual Stones!"
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, and then he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "I have no other questions, you can tell the story."
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said, "It is said that a long time ago, there was an old dog. He was the supreme king in the land of saints, but because of his ideals, he left the place that everyone yearned for and traveled around the world for thousands of years.
Maybe he was bored, or maybe he figured it out, and he returned to the land of sages."
"But I don't know why this old dog went crazy again. He left for the second time. This time the old dog disappeared for tens of thousands of years. Tens of thousands of years later, he came back and entered the land of sages again.
I talk about life and ideals with many old dogs, but I don’t want to be ridiculed by many old dogs and become the laughing stock of the world.”
"Perhaps this old dog felt bored, or perhaps he felt that the palace was dirty, so he left the place of sages for the third time angrily. Tens of thousands of years have passed since then, and this old dog has gradually grown over the years.
He found that no matter how clear the surface of the dirty lake was, it was still dirty inside. He was a little bored, and he never set foot in that place of saints again."
After saying that, the middle-aged man drank the wine Chen Xuan poured in one gulp.
"Is this the end?" Chen Xuan looked at him with a strange look on his face.
Look at this guy.
"Friend, I've finished telling my story." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I wonder what truth my friend can hear from my story?"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes; "With all due respect, this is nonsense. I feel that this piece of spiritual stone is not worth the money."
The middle-aged man didn't mind Chen Xuan's words. He smiled and said, "Friend, then why do you think this old dog comes and goes from that place of sages three times?"
Chen Xuan replied, "Although you are talking about a dog, I know it is a person. Since it is a person, I think he should have his own reasons for doing this. Didn't you also say it? He has something in his heart.
own ideal."
"Hmph, that's bullshit idealism. I think this old dog is just greedy for life and afraid of death!" the middle-aged man laughed sarcastically.
Chen Xuan took out his ears and said, "I'm not interested in the people in your story, and your story doesn't make me want to listen at all, so I won't give you this spiritual stone to treat you to a drink again."
One glass of wine and you can leave."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "Friend, I am a storyteller. Naturally, I cannot satisfy everyone. I have worked hard and should be rewarded accordingly. Therefore, you should give me this spiritual stone.
"
"It's a pity, I just won't give it." Chen Xuan spread his hands.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My friend, aren't you afraid that I will call you out? After all, you are a hot commodity now, and your value is not comparable to that of a spiritual stone."
Chen Xuan smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Okay, you go ahead and scream, the louder the better."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man chuckled and said no more. He turned around, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, are you all blind? Are you looking for it?
Chen Xuan is here."
One sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, staring at Chen Xuan like a hungry wolf!
