Chapter 53: Sudden Hearing of Hezhou's Situation
"Rudes!"
Looking at Yao Ruoyu who was chatting and laughing, the man in front of Xu Jingmiao was silent for a long time and suddenly sighed softly.
"That's why this person is right to kill him!" Xu Jingmiao shook his head gently with a smile on his face.
After smiling, the man whispered: "Is it because he is interested in Chief Cao?"
His face darkened, and Xu Jingmiao glanced at the man lightly, and suddenly chuckled, "Bai Qiuyu, you are too much!"
"Is it because I said the thoughts of the Chief General?" The man named Bai Qiuyu smiled, bowed gently to apologize, and then said curiously, "Why did you invite him here? You should see that this person has no intention of participating in such activities."
Sighing, Xu Jingmiao smiled bitterly, "It's really just to make friends with this person. After all, his thoughts are unique and he wants to have more communication with him. But I never thought that he, who was obviously gentle and restrained before, would be so arrogant."
Looking at Yao Ruoyu thoughtfully, Bai Qiuyu said in confusion: "Is it a disguise?"
Shaking his head, Xu Jingmiao replied: "Impossible. I am not weak in my ability to see people, and I can't see any disguise or hypothesis in him."
With a smile on his long beard, Bai Qiuyu said with interest: "Then why don't you go over and try it?"
Xu Jingmiao was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and nodded, "Good idea!" After that, he stepped towards Yao Ruoyu.
At this time, Yao Ruoyu was chatting with Fu Feng. After all, although he defeated Hou Wentao's argument, everyone also saw his rebelliousness. They were so arrogant that they naturally did not want to contact him, so they all avoided them.
Seeing Xu Jingmiao coming, Yao Ruoyu quickly got up and said with a smile: "Master General."
Xu Jingmiao smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Yao, have you... been too strict just now?"
Shrugged, Yao Ruoyu chuckled and said, "Why would you ask the Chief General? If that person had the upper hand, what would he do?"
Xu Jingmiao was stunned when she heard this, and then heard Yao Ruoyu laughing and said, "He will spare no effort to mock me and scold me, so as to show his noble image, and may also show his attentiveness to the Chief Cao..."
Seeing Cao Yuying standing behind Xu Jingmiao, standing with her eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu quickly turned the topic and said with a smile: "But the Chief General shouldn't be here to discuss such a small matter with me, right?"
After approaching, Bai Qiuyu stood beside Xu Jingmiao and smiled without saying a word, just looking at Yao Ruoyu, Fu Feng and Wu Xue. Until now, he suddenly spoke: "I am still a little curious about the topic just now, and I want to ask Brother Yao for advice."
Looking at him, Yao Ruoyu nodded, "I wonder if you are?"
"White Qiuyu in Hezhou." Bai Qiuyu lifted up her sleeves and bowed calmly.
"Hezhou?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes lit up suddenly. It was not only him, but Fu Feng, who was sitting upright on one side and Wu Xue, who was looking for an opportunity to break the ice, were all shocked and looked at Bai Qiuyu with excitement.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuyu was stunned and confused and said, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing..." Yao Ruoyu looked at Bai Qiuyu thoughtfully, and then asked, "Just just now, Brother Bai said he wanted to communicate with the question just now?"
Seeing that Yao Ruoyu changed the "ask for advice" to "communication", Bai Qiuyu and Xu Jingmiao couldn't help but exchange glances, and then Bai Qiuyu pondered: "The so-called "those who have attained enlightenment will have many helpers, while those who have lost their enlightenment will have few helpers. This is a famous saying that has been passed down since ancient times, but according to what the Yao brothers said before, it seems that they are not right!"
Because Bai Qiuyu said politely, Yao Ruoyu naturally couldn't take the rebellious attitude he had before. He could only stand calmly and then replied in a pondering manner: "Let's do this, it's better for Yao to tell a story."
Xu Jingmiao raised his sword eyebrows and said with a laugh: "Let's listen carefully."
"In ancient times, some people painted a painting and thought it was almost perfect. In order to show off, he took the painting to the downtown area, leaving the painting and the pen there, and left a message saying that if someone is not satisfied with the painting, he can circle it with a pen and write down the reason.
Hearing this, Fu Feng and Wu Xue had already shown disdainful expressions, but Xu Jingmiao, Bai Qiuyu, Cao Yuying and others were focused and listened very carefully.
"When he returned to the downtown area in the evening, he saw that his painting was full of circles and criticism. He was so angry that the painter tore the painting apart and returned home angrily," Seeing that they were focused, Yao Ruoyu smiled, "In the next few days, the painter was immersed in anger, until one day he suddenly figured it out..."
"What did you figure it out?" Bai Qiuyu said curiously.
With a smile, Yao Ruoyu continued, "The painter drew the painting he had torn apart before and rushed to the downtown city for the second time with his painting and pen. But this time his message was... I hope everyone will circle the places that were satisfied with this painting."
Hearing this, Xu Jingmiao, Bai Qiuyu, and Cao Yuying all showed thoughtful expressions, but Xu Kuanhong didn't understand, scratched his scalp and said blankly: "So what?"
Seeing Xu Jingmiao and others pondering, Yao Ruoyu laughed and said, "I think everyone has already understood it. Yes, when he returns to the downtown area, the painting is also full of praise. This story tells us that no one can make everyone like it, so life is short, and being yourself is enough, so why bother with the opinions of others?"
"Okay! Well said!" Hearing this, Bai Qiuyu smiled unconsciously and nodded, "Brother Yao, this story is unprecedented in Bai. I don't know where it comes from?"
"I heard it by chance when I was wandering around the world. To be honest, I forgot the source of this matter." I originally wanted to take this matter on myself, but seeing Fu Feng and Wu Xue's contemptuous eyes, Yao Ruoyu could only smile dryly and refuse the credit.
After the matter was revealed, everyone had no intention of trying to fight any more, so they started chatting.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost right, Yao Ruoyu pretended to be unintentional and smiled: "Brother Bai, I heard that you were from Hezhou before, and I don't know what the customs there are? Is there a suitable place to visit?"
"Travel?" Bai Qiuyu's smile froze, then rubbed her cheeks weakly, and said with a wry smile, "If the General Leader had said before, you have been traveling around the world all year round and never heard of the affairs of the court, Bai would really think Brother Yao was making fun of me."
Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned when she heard this and said curiously: "Where do you start with this?"
"Hezhou City is like Fuling City, both located at the junction of Song and Jin dynasties and has been plagued by war all year round," said Xu Jingmiao, who was embarrassed in an instant with a smile. "I didn't expect that Brother Yao would be able to show such a look today, which is a feat!"
Thinking of himself asking if there is a place for tourism and entertainment in a city that has been plagued by war for many years, Yao Ruoyu felt his cheeks flushed. For the first time, he felt so embarrassed that he almost covered his face directly, and then left with his sleeves.
"I left Hezhou for a long trip in the second half of the year. At that time, the war had just calmed down. However, before leaving, the Jin Dynasty supported a group of bandits and led the enemy from the Jin Dynasty. I don't know what happened to Hezhou in the past six months." At the end, Bai Qiuyu's face also had a bit of complexity.
Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but look surprised. According to what Bai Qiuyu said, it seems that the situation in Hezhou is not very good now!
Fu Feng frowned and said curiously: "Is Hezhou not the territory of our Song Dynasty? Why does it sound like it is very messy!"
He said this in private, of course it was okay, but when Xu Jingmiao, the Chongqing chief general, said it, it seemed a little slapped in the face. Yao Ruoyu immediately pulled him awkwardly and stopped the guy from continuing to complain.
Xu Jingmiao didn't care and sighed: "It's true that Xu had not fulfilled his duties. It's just that although Hezhou is nominally the territory of the Song Dynasty, it is located on the borders of the two countries and surrounded by remnants of the country such as Liao, Xixia, Dali, etc., and the internal forces are complex, so it's really difficult to intervene."
Touching his chin, Yao Ruoyu looked at Fu Feng thoughtfully. The latter happened to see that, and both of them laughed, because they both saw a strong interest from each other's eyes.
"Brother Bai, why not say a few more words. I am quite interested in there?" He smiled and grabbed Bai Qiuyu. Yao Ruoyu quickly picked up the wine glass with his other hand, and Fu Feng took the wine pot to help pour the wine, and then looked at Bai Qiuyu with a smile.
Seeing the respectful appearance of the two, Bai Qiuyu was shocked and said awkwardly: "Brother Yao, why should Brother Fu do this? If you want to ask, Mr. Bai will naturally know everything..."
Crack Crack Crack Crack…
Just as everyone was talking, a sound of ice chunks suddenly came from one side. Yao Ruoyu felt bad, so he quickly turned around and condensed his spiritual power, transformed into an ice shield and stood behind him. Then a fireball fell on the ice shield and exploded countless fire chips.
"Haha, I didn't hit it!" Yao Ruoyu smiled proudly just now blocking Wu Xue's fireball.
Wu Xue, who had been frozen for half an hour, was so angry that she was about to rush forward and fight against Yao Ruoyu with her teeth and claws.
Fortunately, Fu Feng reacted quickly enough, so he quickly grabbed her and whispered: "Brother Yao seems to be at the sixth level of the third level."
Thinking that he was only at the third level and one level, Wu Xue wisely withdrew his hand, then stepped on Yao Ruoyu's feet and twisted it hard.
Seeing that Yao Ruoyu's face turned into a pig's liver in an instant, Cao Yuying, who had changed her face several times in a row, felt a little happy. Then, while Yao Ruoyu took advantage of the fact that he pulled Wu Xue, whispered to her with a smile, and then the two of them held hands and turned around and left together.
Seeing the two leaving, Yao Ruoyu, who endured the severe pain, sighed to Xu Jingmiao with some amusement and tears: "Sure enough... the friendship between girls is based on ravaging men!"
