Someone is panicking

Before I knew it, it was winter solstice.

It may be too early to snow, but the temperature has dropped significantly.

There are only three people in the government office tonight, Shen Mu and Song Yizhi, and Cao Zhengxiang who is making dumplings in the kitchen.

Li Tieniu and his two children went back long ago.

I heard that Li Erniang and Xin Fan's mother were also preparing to make dumplings and eat them together.

Song Yizhi once again polished the spear that had not been seen for a while, but this time the weapon was not a military sword pill, but a dark stone.

As if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Mu who was studying the sword with great interest in the courtyard.

"Do you have an answer to the previous question?"

Chen Mu admired the long sword in his hand, which was exactly the one on Song Yizhi's waist. In appearance, it was not as cool as the sword-carrying monks outside.

A very simple wooden scabbard and a dignified and neat hilt.

I originally thought about pulling it out and feeling it, but I thought it was a bit rude. It was enough to look at the girl's sword. If I still took it out, I might be disgusted by others.

He looked back at Song Yizhi and smiled: "Yes."

"Oh?" Song Yizhi raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, how many swords do you think you have?"

"One is definitely not enough!" Shen Mu stood up, turned his wrist, and the heavy long sword flew through the air and landed on his other hand. It felt very handsome.

"The more swords I, Chen Mu, want, of course, the better! I want the fastest sword, the sharpest sword, the most powerful sword, the most beautiful sword, and the most expensive sword..."

Song Yizhi was a little stunned.

It's not because Chen Mu's answer is so amazing, but because this answer is exactly the same as his once ignorant self.

At that time, she was just a little girl, maybe a little younger than Gu Yuyue, and her temperament was more wild than her. Every day, she had to tie countless branches on her body, symbolizing countless swords.

Just like Shen Mu now, she also had the same expression. She once said to an old swordsman that there are as many swords in the world as Song Yizhi's ignorant words.

Of course, after becoming a sword cultivator, she no longer thought like this.

After all, it was a childhood dream, a child's talk, at least a few memories.

"are you serious?"

Chen Mu nodded: "Of course, I have thought about it seriously and pursued my true intention. If I were a sword cultivator, I would have a lot of swords. The more the better!"

Song Yizhi pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

When she said this herself, she didn't think it was a big deal because she didn't know how hard it was for a swordsman to cultivate a sword.

Not to mention the natal sword, even a swordsmith's famous sword is very difficult to find, and the sword's heart must be clean, so most swordsmen are very specialized in swords.

After thinking for a long time, Song Yizhi spoke again.

"Too many swords is not a good thing, because not all swords are suitable for you, and you are not an innate sword embryo. It will be more difficult to warm up flying swords. With such a waste of resources, even the great sword sects in the world will It cannot last.”

After listening to Song Yizhi's words, Chen Mu was not discouraged. He nodded and responded with a smile:

"I know, so I just say the more the better. As for how many there can be, I don't insist on how many there will be. A handful is a handful. Don't complain if you have too much, and don't complain if you have less."

"I don't know if you are greedy or ambitious."

Chen Mu thought for a while: "They should all be there. I have to go up and take a look at the scenery on the roof. Is the Sword Immortal really as charming as everyone says?"

Song Yizhi's eyes suddenly became strange. He stretched out his hand and the long sword in Chen Mu's hand flew back on its own. Then her words were a bit strange:

"What's there to see? Let's pretend to be a beautiful girl. Can't we see it at any time? It's just like that."

"...?" Chen Mu had a dark look on his face.

He really didn't expect that he was talking about a serious topic, why did he end up here again?

Is it really impossible to make it through?

"Miss Song, no, can I ask you to kiss your master? Can we not mention this matter again? Let it pass, okay?"

"It depends on your mood." Song Yizhi blinked his beautiful eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile for the first time, and there was actually a hint of naughtiness!

With a flash of surprise, the flocks of swallows are flying, envying the four seasons.

Chen Mu admired it secretly for a while.

I can't help but think about how wonderful it would be if it were summer.

…

The dumplings come out quickly.

Cao Zhengxiang came to the courtyard carrying several large plates.

"Sir, Miss Song, come and try my craftsmanship."

As he spoke, a small talisman flew out of his hand and fell into the brazier at his feet. Scalding wine was a necessary process.

In fact, Shen Mu didn't really like drinking it at first. He always felt that it might delay his thinking at night.

However, Cao Zhengxiang can always come up with some weird utensils, and every time he drinks it, it is a different experience. Over time, he becomes a bit addicted.

"Soy sauce, vinegar, chili and garlic." Shen Mu said, pointing to his dishes.

Cao Zhengxiang promptly praised: "The way you eat is really the most beautiful in the world. I have never eaten dumplings like this before."

Chen Mu smiled: "Old Cao, you don't know, there are actually many sayings about eating dumplings. Dumpling wine, dumpling wine, the more you drink, the better."

"Oh? Good sentence, wonderful! But is there anything else?"

"Yes, it's not as delicious as dumplings, and not as fun as sister-in-law... Uh-huh, that's about it, haha."

Cao Zhengxiang's eyes changed! He immediately put down his chopsticks and was so impressed!

"Unexpectedly, it is rare in the world for an adult to be so romantic! His sentences are so exquisite that it is hard to follow a saint! This is so awesome, I am ashamed of myself!"

"..."

Chen Mu didn't know that the last sentence was really what Cao Zhengxiang was saying.

Not to mention anything else, Cao Zhengxiang felt that after decades of practicing in the world of mortals, she had perfected her evil deeds and had done everything she needed to do.

But he really didn't expect that Chen Mu's words would enlighten him.

It seems that his Zen practice in this mortal world is still not perfect enough.

This couldn't help but make him admire Chen Mu even more.

Song Yizhi, who was eating dumplings silently on the side, had a strange expression.

She didn't quite understand many things.

But the dumplings are delicious.

…

…

the next day.

Fengjiang City is in a state of chaos.

Of course, it's mainly people from other counties.

What happened yesterday happened suddenly, and the news spread quickly.

It's just that before everyone has digested the fact that the Yuhe Sect outside the city was beaten away, another major news has come.

Liu Hao from Liuyang County was imprisoned by Fengjiang Yamen!

There are also rumors that his legs were broken, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Many people can guess the reason.

There is a high probability that this is the case with the Yuhe Sect. Even a fool can see that it is Liuyang County's plan. This time it is considered a bridge.

But even so, it doesn't actually make others feel anxious.

What really makes these people feel unsure is actually the reason for arresting Liu Hao!

It wasn't intentional murder or anything else.

Instead, they broke into private houses!

This crime is somewhat involved.

Because a large part of them find empty houses to live in privately.

Only rare people choose to stay in an inn, or they really like an inhabited house and spend some money to buy it.

However, these two types are a minority, and most of them directly rely on their status and force to forcibly occupy and make them their own.

The county government that had previously closed borders was in name only.

Therefore, no one from the border area dared to report to the government or resist.

Being occupied by someone, I could only endure it silently and take my whole family to find another place to live.

But things are different now.

If someone really reported it to the police, according to Liu Hao's fate, wouldn't they all become trespassers?

Of course, although they feel a little guilty, most people still think it's not a big deal.

Unless the magistrate of Fengjiang County has lost his mind.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be possible for him to be stupid enough to make so many enemies.
