Chapter 653 She is smiling

It's April in the world, and spring is blooming.

Bai Lu drinks tea on the top floor of her tea room.

She opened the window and looked down.

There is a warm wind passing by, along the Ninghe River, stirring the spring willows all over the city.

Catkins are flying in the ancient city of Nagano. This is a good season, but there is more rain, so most pedestrians on the road will carry an "oil-paper umbrella"——

In recent years, technology has been developing faster and faster, and some daily necessities that are popular among consumers are "retro" old models.

This popular "oil-paper umbrella" has only become popular this year, although it looks shabby.

But it's actually quite interesting to use.

As long as the umbrella is opened, there are several functions for the owner to choose at will. The oil paper can be suddenly transparent, or it can be linked with AI to automatically draw an ink painting according to the intensity of the rain and the priority of the raindrops.

If it rains lightly, the picture on the umbrella will spread slowly, like ripples on the lake, rising and falling slowly.

If there is a strong wind and heavy rain, you can see a picture of the rushing river with thick ink and heavy colors.

At this time in the morning, the sky above the Snow Forbidden City was actually "bright and sunny".

In the afternoon, dark clouds came.

The wind picks up the willow catkins and drifts across the river.

There were more "oil-paper umbrellas" opened one after another in the streets. The sudden rain fell, and black and white ink paintings splashed on the streets of this quaint town.

"It's quite a nice sight."

Bai Lu spoke softly and said, "It's just a little more deserted."

She has been studying in the ancestral hall for more than a year.

On weekdays, I don't leave the house and don't hear what's going on outside the window. These days I am very quiet and restless... But I didn't expect that Nagano Castle is unprecedentedly peaceful.

This is Nagano.

She has never seen such a peaceful scene since she was born.

After the Gu family merged, the old and new factions no longer fought. The internal fighting in the Jiangbei Council was much less frequent. The old man was clearing out the remnants of Gu Lushen's henchmen with his iron-blooded skills... and the young master of the Gu family was also running around all day long and disappeared.

figure.

Other than that.

With the support of Gao Tian, ​​the little girl Li Qingsui successfully became the "temporary head of the family". Due to her insufficient age, the title of head of the Li family needs to be preceded by the word "temporary"... But now the Li family Presbyterian Church

Having been tamed, it is only a matter of time before the word "temporary" is removed. After another three years at most, this little girl will become one of the five leaders of Nagano.

The Gong and Mu families have reconciled.

Gong Zi and Mu Ya have successfully gotten engaged, but they are not in a hurry to hold a wedding, so the Gong Mu family has not made much noise in recent days.

As for the Bai family...

There is nothing more to say.

The ancestor became the "War God Throne", which was the biggest event in the past hundred years.

But the Bai family is the quietest among the five families, bar none.

The Bai family has been the defense line of order in Nagano since ancient times. After Mr. Bai Shu became the god, Dongzhou's last line of defense, which was on the verge of being broken, suddenly became impregnable.

Although this is quite good.

But... is Nagano still the Nagano in my impression, with no fighting, no fighting, and only a quiet city atmosphere?

Bai Lu drank tea and sighed softly.

The annual rookie battle has just ended, and I’m afraid I have to wait another year for Nagano to become lively.

She looked at the reflection in the teacup and couldn't help but think.

Nagano is so quiet now, maybe because... there is one less guy?

Gu Shen.

As soon as this name appeared, Bai Lu quickly shook her head and rejected this ridiculous idea.

How could I have such funny thoughts?

This guy can meditate in Nagano for a whole year without going out.

If Nagano is hot or not, what does it have to do with him?

only……

Some people are the center of the world without going out. Everyone and everything seems to revolve around such people.

After Gu Shen went to Beizhou, the five Dongzhou families were always paying attention to the news in Beizhou.

The "Maze Mission" outside the northern border fortress.

"Storm Blocking Battle" in the Kubao Fortress.

And the "restart" of the Dolu River disaster!

There are other trivial news... such as the death of the blessed son, the breakdown of the marriage between the Beizhou royal family and Guangming City...

During these days when Bai Lu was sitting in the teahouse, she would look at what was happening in Beizhou every day. The fact was that since Gu Shen went to Beizhou, Beizhou had become lively.

She could only admit that Gu Shen was a "magical" guy.

"Counting the days... It's time for the guy named Gu to come back. He's not really planning to become a grand duke in Beizhou, is he?"

Bai Lu looked out the window, bored for a while, counting the raindrops falling from the eaves, and suddenly felt a little angry.

Why does this annoying guy always appear in his mind?

It must be that Miss Chu at the bottom of the Ning River is so beautiful that she can't see her on weekdays. Only when Gu Shen comes, can she take the opportunity to take a second look.

Um.

That must be the case!

He was muttering secretly in his heart, and Bai Lu's eyes suddenly glowed.

She saw a familiar figure in the alley not far from the teahouse.

"Hey, Shen Li!"

Bai Lu slapped the tea table and turned over.

When the latter heard the sound, he ran away without hesitation.

But Bai Lu had already prepared it.

When she spoke, her mental power spread out with the dream of thorns...

The little iron man ran for two steps and saw huge black buds blooming one after another on the wall at the end of the narrow alley. He immediately gave up his struggle.

He knew that he was in a dream, so he could only turn around and said helplessly: "Auntie, your eyes are really tricky."

In Nagano, anyone who encounters Shiro will feel a headache.

"Why are you running away for no reason? I won't skin you."

Bai Lu said angrily: "What's more, you are now a 'distinguished guest' who my teacher has deliberately asked to entertain well. Are you still worried that I will bully you?"

This is also the most depressing point for Bai Lu these days.

After finally getting out of seclusion, the five members of the Nagano family were all busy with trivial matters, and Nagano was boring. She could only find some fun for herself. The first thing that came to her mind was to compete, but Shen Li's identity changed.

Mr. Shan gave many warnings and instructions, no one should be rude to Shen Li.

Although they don't know what happened, most people can guess that Mr. Shan's attitude changed after the incident in the cemetery. Presumably... it was the "Pluto" who left a message to the chief judge to take special care of Shen Li.

.

Thus, Bai Lu's last bit of fun was shattered.

She stood with her arms akimbo, her back against the wall of the alley where Shen Li was the only way out, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I just want to ask, when will Gu Shen come back?"

In Nagano City, Shen Li and Gu Shen had the best relationship.

During the previous year of seclusion, Bai Lu could frequently hear discussions among her tribe members when passing by the ancestral hall, even if she was reading her papers every day.

The Gu family Chunyu Temple is very lively.

Why is Gu Shen blacksmithing again today?

To put it nicely, Gu Shen is asked to strike, but to put it badly... Shen Li will be beaten!

The relationship between these two people was established with one punch and one kick. Shen Li, a martial arts idiot who was famous throughout Nagano, has not challenged other extraordinary people since he was beaten in Gu Shen's Spring Rain Temple...

The relationship between these two people is really strong.

Shen Li curled his lips and said, "I'm warning you, don't have any ideas about Brother Gu. He and Miss Chu are a match made in heaven, and there's no chance for you."

"Pooh!"
