That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 340

In the world of mortals, there is no room for carefree people.

As long as you are in the world of mortals, no matter whether you are a minister of the temple or a master of the earth, you will inevitably get muddy and watery.

Xu Beiyou's promotion to the realm of the Earth Immortal doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants, he still has to follow the rules.

The higher you are, the more you can't get carried away. You must know that the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Xu Beiyou sat alone in the living room and waited, playing with a crystal wine glass with a unique shape. When he saw Yu Kuang this time, he seemed to be asking for help. After all, Yu Kuang was the commander of an army with military power in his hands, and his weight was definitely not an ordinary official. The generals are comparable, if Yu Kuang can be completely pulled into their big boat, then whether it is the master's temple plan or the opening and closing of his river capital, it will be of great benefit.

So this time he came to meet Yu Kuang in person for an interview, and there was no mistake in the overall direction, because Yu Kuang belonged to Qi Wang Xiaobai, Han Xuan belonged to the present day, and Xiao Bai would not stand up for it no matter what. Going to the opposite side of my father, there is a basis for an alliance between the two sides, and in fact there is a substantial alliance, which is just a little taste of the meaning, this time it is to further deepen the alliance through the Jiangnan incident.

Han Xuan wants to fight against the blue jade that has been rooted in the temple for a long time. It is undoubtedly a dream come true on his own, even with the support of the emperor behind him, so he is not only happy to see the success of Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan, but also turned his attention The kings of the Xiao family.

Wei Wang Xiaojin dare not expect extravagantly, then Qi Wang Xiaobai is the most suitable candidate.

Just as Xu Beiyou was meditating, Su Qingnu, who was dressed up, came to the living room, the tiredness on his face was swept away, and he looked radiant and radiant.

Xu Beiyou only felt his eyes brighten. If women were divided into grades according to the nine-rank system, Xiao Zhinan, who is both talented and beautiful, would be regarded as the first rank, and Wu Yu, who was less talented, would be the first rank. It can probably be rated as a genuine second product.

However, Xu Beiyou never thought about what to do with the woman in front of him. He placed the woman here more for appreciation, like a delicate vase to please the eye and the eye.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to signal Su Qingnu to take a seat.

After she sat down, Xu Beiyou cut to the chase and said, "Qingnu, you know the rules."

Su Qingnu said obediently: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely not say anything nonsense."

Xu Beiyou nodded, "Later, let the kitchen cook a few side dishes, and then bring out the jar of Zhuangyuanhong that I keep here. The word "Zhuangyuan" sounds auspicious."

Su Qingnu nodded and wrote it down.

She secretly glanced at Xu Beiyou, always wondering why Xu Beiyou never spent the night with her?He rarely even came to her place, and occasionally came a few times to treat guests like today. Could it be that he disliked her for being dirty?Leaving aside the fact that she is still a virgin as a Qing Dynasty official, if she really dislikes her, why bother to tease her?
Could it be that you look down on her?Su Qingnu also heard that there was a "Poppy Poppy" in Xu Beiyou's mansion, who was beautiful and beautiful, and was called the number one beauty in Jiangdu by the good-for-nothings. Concubine, concubine is worse than stealing, no matter how beautiful a woman is, a man will get bored after watching it for a long time.

Could it be that Mr. Xu is really a gentleman?
Su Qingnu felt in his heart that his idea was a bit ridiculous.

Xu Beiyou thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, this honored guest who came today is very elegant. You should prepare and play a song later. As for the repertoire, you can decide for yourself."

Su Qingnu hummed, got up and went to tell the servant girl.

Although this is just a small courtyard, it is far from being comparable to the East Lake courtyard, but there are always five No. 60 people including maids, servants, cooks, guards, and wives. hostess.

Xu Beiyou began to close his eyes and meditate.

Around dusk, Yu Kuang came to the other courtyard.

Xu Beiyou personally welcomed him into the main hall, and after exchanging pleasantries, he served dinner at the table.

There were only three people at a round table, except for Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang, only Su Qingnu was with him.

Xu Beiyou introduced: "Qing Nu is a talented woman. She is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is full of knowledge. In my opinion, she may not be inferior to those scholars outside. It's just a pity that she was born as a woman."

Su Qingnu smiled softly, and reached out to fill a glass of Huadiao wine for Yu Kuang.

Yu Kuang picked up his wine glass and asked, "What books have you read recently?"

Su Qingnu replied softly: "I am reading the history of immortal transmission in the Taoist scriptures."

Yu Kuang snorted, and jokingly said, "What are you reading that for? Is it possible that you still want to go to Taoism to become a female crown?"

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "After the Jiangnan Daomen incident, I got a whole set of Taoist scriptures from the Taoist Workshop, and it was useless to keep them, so I moved here to relieve Qingnu's boredom."

Yu Kuang drank the wine in his cup and said with a smile, "I forgot to congratulate you. It is a great joy to remove the thorn in the side of Taoist workshop."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and smiled wryly: "As long as the Taoist sect is still there, it is useless to pull out a few more Taoist workshops. Now that the Taoist sect is in civil turmoil, they have no time to take care of Jiangnan, but the day when the civil strife will end will be the time when the Taoist sect will ask us for debts." gone."

Yu Kuang paused slightly, and did not rush to speak.

Xu Beiyou winked at Su Qingnu.

Su Qingnu nodded, got up and walked to the side of Yaoqin, and began to play the piano gently.

There are two songs she is best at, namely Fengqiuhuang and Guangling San. After hesitating for a long time, she finally chose Guangling San.

After the sound of the piano sounded, there was no lingering and gentle feeling, but a sense of clank and clang.

Yu Kuang glanced at Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou remained expressionless and concentrated on listening to the piano.

Yu Kuang bent his fingers and tapped on the table, the sound was crisp and clear, just in line with the sound of the piano.

The Daoist sect has been dominant in recent years and has made many enemies. The Sword Sect, the White Lotus Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, Buddhism, and even Xuanjiao. It is not surprising that so many sects have joined forces to deal with a Jiangnan Taoist sect. In reason.

It is easy to take down the Taoist workshop, but the hard part is how to deal with the counterattack of the Taoist school.

The Taoist sect once made a grand plan for thousands of years, and it took several generations of dormancy to exchange for today's access to the world.It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is by no means empty talk for them.

After the song Guanglingsan ended, the sound of tapping on the table also stopped abruptly.

Yu Kuang praised: "What a song Guangling San, what a great song to last forever."

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "Qingnu, you go down first."

Su Qingnu picked up Yaoqin and squatted down to salute, and then went to the layman.

Xu Beiyou sat upright, picked up the jug and refilled the wine glass in front of Yu Kuang, and said softly, "The matter of Jiangnan Daomen has been clarified, and people from Tianshifu are involved."

When Xu Beiyou talked about Tianshi Mansion, Yu Kuang, who was about to pick up his wine glass, paused for a moment, and said in a deep thought: "Tianshi Mansion, it seems that the Town Demon Palace really can't turn around."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case, but the Taoist affairs can be put aside first, but Huzhou can't delay it any longer."

Yu Kuang seemed to have expected Xu Beiyou to say this a long time ago, and asked, "Is this what you mean, or is it what your old man meant?"

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are all of them, but it's mainly because of the master's intention."

Yu Kuang pondered for a moment, then said, "I see."

Xu Beiyou didn't say anything more, too much was too much.

Afterwards, the two drank the entire jar of champion red, which took about an hour.

During this two-hour period, Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang didn't mention anything serious, they just talked about various anecdotes from all over the world.

It was only when Yu Kuang was about to say goodbye at the end that Xu Beiyou said with a pun, "I'm here to serve as Governor Yu."

Yu Kuang smiled and nodded.

In just a few words, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was roughly settled.

This is the art of Han Xuan and Xu Beiyou's father and son.
