Chapter 120 – The Dream of the Jianghu

This was called striking the iron while the iron was hot, when Wen Hao and Pu Xiang both hadn’t had the chance to object, they set the Grand Ceremony Viewing all in stone, not giving them any room to back out.

You didn’t refuse on the spot, but you want to back out afterward? Do you really think that Xue Qingqiu’s Star Spirit Cloud Mist is just for show?

By the time it became a subordinate sect under the witness of the Spirit State Jianghu, there would be even less possibility to back out of the deal……. So this was really finalized, annexing a sect in just a single banquet in the district.

The reason why it was three days later was because Xue Qingqiu had said that she was in seclusion for three days, and this kind of grand ceremony obviously wouldn’t work without her. Three days was also just the right amount of time to send someone to notify all the families in Spirit State to prepare for the ceremony.

Leaving Koufu Lou, Xue Mu didn’t go to the Rouge Workshop anymore and asked Zhuo Qingqing to fetch a medicinal bath and bring it back to his residence to soak.

Submerging himself in the bath bucket, Xue Mu leaned against the edge of the bucket somewhat tiredly in thought, going over the events of today. Wen Hao s kind of terrified attitude should be no problem …… as long as Pu Xiang can really find out the appropriate anti-counterfeiting measures, then he immediately contacted Xiahou Di, to do this the beginning of the two places to exchange.

I believe that Xiahou Di’s vision, will see the huge energy contained here, without their own words will also be implemented.

In addition to this matter, there is a contact with Li Yingqing, the master of Shenji door, to discuss the production of sound stone things, both need to pass through Xiahou Di. In that case, tomorrow morning, we have to visit An Sifang, hope he didn’t run some Lingshuang County to check on the missing livestock, this kind of shit should be able to send his subordinates, right?

In addition, visiting the Zhang family must also be on the agenda, not for the sake of a ring business. Wen Hao was not wrong, Xue Mu and Zhang Botao set up the so-called cooperation ring business, the real intention is and vertical and horizontal road to get a business line, so that they in the future disputes at least be able to stay out of it, and if it can be turned into a helping hand is naturally the best.

Although he is also not accustomed to the unscrupulous traders of the vertical and horizontal road, especially suffered from its modern people are more accustomed to this, but the rice to eat one bite at a time, at present still have to utilize the vertical and horizontal road first, to how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say how to say ……

Do a strategist is really quite tired, especially their own kind and to practice martial arts and to calculate, really hate to break a person into two with. To put it bluntly, he is not a real strategist, what is the distance from the wonders of the plan to calculate nothing, what are far away, but only the use of a more advanced mode of thinking and insight, at most is the cause of the occupation in the knowledge of the human heart some insights. Specific calculations, in fact, is quite strenuous, can only try to force themselves to consider more, consider more thorough.

Fortunately, the more accustomed to soaking medicine, basically not much pain, soaking in the barrel is not much wear and tear, on the contrary, to be able to rest with eyes closed.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Xue Mu said in a muffled voice: “Meng Lan, help me rub my head, it’s really bloated.”

After waiting for a few seconds without a response, Xue Mu suddenly remembered that Meng Lan was studying zither music with someone at the Rouge Workshop, and the person who was taking care of his medicine was …… Zhuo Qingqing?

He was about to say sorry, but suddenly felt two slender hands pressing on his temples, slowly kneading.

“Uh ……” Xue Mu was a bit embarrassed, “I forgot that Meng Lan wasn’t here.”

“It’s nothing, it’s what a personal guard should do.” Zhuo Qingqing’s voice was gentle, “Actually …… uh, it’s fine.”

This is half said, Xue Mu momentarily confused, did not think much, subconsciously followed a sentence: “In fact what?”

In fact, you are to serve the bed, others also have nothing to say ah …… Zhuo Qingqing glared at him in annoyance, did not say anything. But soon her gaze became complex again, and she whispered, “Seriously, following by the side of Gongzi, I will always feel heartfelt admiration. Between this district’s one meal and banquet, the Yan Yang Sect was subdued, ending our thirteen years of grudges …… Every time I think about it, Qingqing will feel that Gongzi is not a god who came down to help us?”

Xue Mu laughed, “I don’t dare to take credit for this, it’s mainly because the intimidating power of that beauty Patriarch of our family is just too strong, didn’t you see Wen Hao’s face turn white with fear the moment he heard her name.”

“But the Sovereign didn’t succeed in conquering people’s hearts, that’s why he wasn’t able to formally take in the vassal. When Gongzi asked me about the Silver Villa that day, he had already decided on a strategy to take in the Yan Yang Sect, right? In vain Qingqing still wondered what the Gongzi had nothing to ponder over that thing for …… with the two things of music and the Silver Villa, accurately and separately breaking the most valued things in their hearts, stirring up the hearts of the two people to be in turmoil, unable to even speak out against it, this is the Gongzi’s ability to achieve the ultimate outside of the force of arms.” Zhuo Qingqing sighed, “If Qingqing were in Gongzi’s position, even if she had the background of a clan and the function of a city lord, she would most likely not accomplish anything.”

Xue Mu lost his smile and said, “Saying nice things doesn’t mean much. Qingqing, you are different from others, you have experience in stewardship, your vision and insights are better than theirs, in the future, you can give me more advice when things go wrong, my personal insights, it’s still a bit of a struggle.”

Zhuo Qingqing softly said, “I will try my best.”

“By the way, speaking of this banquet, I do have something to ask you.”

“Your Excellency, please speak.”

“I didn’t have a good capacity for alcohol before, but after practicing for so many days, I don’t even feel anything when I drink. Strong people like you, who have cultivated to the soul, can get drunk from drinking?”

Zhuo Qingqing laughed sweetly, “Is it possible that the gentleman doesn’t know that there are two kinds of drinking.”

“Hm? Which two kinds?”

“Entertainment wine, and genuine wine.”

Xue Mu laughed out loud, “Got it.”

His laugh at this moment was really quite cheerful, and it was the kind of relief that belonged to unraveling confusion.

Ever since crossing over, he had been exploring various aspects of this world, only that due to the fact that he hadn’t been around for long, his exposure was small, and that there were priorities, he hadn’t looked deeper into a lot of things even though they were clearly right in front of his eyes.

For example, diet.

When he first arrived, he had paid attention to the food in Hundred Flowers Garden. At that time, his feeling was that the flavor was very good, and the wine brew was also very distinctive. This matter was not something urgent after all, so he put it to the back of his mind.

In fact, he had always been curious, in a world where strong people were like self-propelled nuclear bombs, could wine really intoxicate people?

If it couldn’t intoxicate people, what was the difference between wine and tea and drinks?

Zhuo Qingqing told him very simple and clear, as long as the true heart wants to experience the feeling of alcohol, that will not transport power to resist alcohol. If you want to socialize, then maybe it’s just like fruit juice.

Xue Mu sighed softly and muttered, “I must find a day to give myself a vacation and get drunk.”

Zhuo Qingqing was a bit surprised, “Your Excellency has such an idea?”

Xue Mu whispered, “You know, the dream of Jianghu in my heart since I was young.”

Zhuo Qingqing stopped massaging, her eyes unblinking, “What is it?”

“Battling the sword in the rivers and lakes and carrying wine, Chu waist slender and light in the palm.” Xue Mu laughed, “Some people are drunk on martial arts, I laugh at them for being biased. And I, Xue Mu, am now biased, so how good can I be? In the end, I can’t have it both ways.”

Zhuo Qingqing’s slender hands continued to massage up, and only after a long time did she say, “Your Excellency’s dream of Jianghu will be realized. Qingqing would like to accompany you to fight the sword in the jianghu.”

At the end, the voice became as thin as a mosquito, Zhuo Qingqing said more and more some regret, face also some fever – in this context of Xue Mu, she said she would like to accompany him to fight the sword in the rivers and lakes, then his palm in the waist of the slender should be who?

In vain to laugh at others vixen, their own is not about the same virtues? The only thing she can convince herself is better than others is that she really admires Xue Mu, not the kind of hooking up with a purpose.

She was apprehensive about what Xue Mu’s reaction should be, but there was no reply for a long time, and when she looked down, Xue Mu had already fallen asleep leaning on the edge of the bucket.

Zhuo Qingqing silently help him up to wipe clean and hold the bed, the heart is secretly relieved, did not hear better, so as to avoid embarrassment …… or do a good job as a pro guard commander, do not think about those who have no.
