Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 304 No one alive?

Lian Huan, who was standing outside the door, had pricked up his ears at the sound of the shadowy voice. He heard Jiang Shangxian say, "Outside Hangzhou, two heroes are drinking white wine. One is called Guo Xiaotian, the other is called Yang Tiexin..."

The story was very attractive, completely different from the popular love stories nowadays. It was so novel and interesting that people couldn't help but want to continue listening. She was listening intently when the voice inside stopped. Lianhuan was a very calm person. After many years of professional career, she had become an emotionally stable worker.

But now, I suddenly felt an itch, wanting to go in and see what Miss Jiang was doing. Why did she suddenly stop talking? What was there worth stopping for? She could do it all for me!

"Oh, stop eating! If you eat so much, you won't be able to eat anything tonight!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her wife was also anxious.

Pressing her ear against the door, she could hear the clinking of ceramics inside, along with Jiang Shangxian's aggrieved complaints: "Madam, your little mouth will become dry if you keep talking. It won't look good if it gets chapped tomorrow. Don't you need to moisten your mouth and throat?"

Cui Shuhua quickly stopped them from wasting time: "Alright, alright, tell her to drink!"

Please hurry up and tell me after you finish drinking! She is very anxious and is urging me to update online!

Few people can memorize an entire novel word for word, let alone Jiang Shangxian. She is not a genius with a high IQ, so she has to think as she speaks, which is actually very hard and brain-intensive.

As expected, people want to take some Melatonin when they reach a certain age. No wonder her grandmother has been taking it diligently for so many years.

Oh, it's painful to be urged to update. Jiang Shangxian can only relax a little when she stops to drink water and eat something, and seize the time to think about how to write the next chapter. Otherwise, she doesn't want to eat a belly full of cold tea, fruits and pastries!

She was also afraid that when she stood up and walked, her stomach would start to make noises. How would she explain it then?

You can't say that you are full of knowledge, right?

Life is not easy, Xiao Jiang sighed, don't ask why my eyes are always wet: "Let's continue from the last chapter, that Bao Xiruo..."

I don't know when, but more and more people gathered outside the house, but it was unusually quiet. Even the cicadas outside the yard that couldn't be stopped were only one or two left, chirping annoyingly.

Of course, eavesdropping on the master's conversation is absolutely forbidden, but isn't there someone leading the charge?

Several older maids in Lianhuan occupied advantageous positions. The weather was already very hot, and it was naturally even hotter with people gathered together. The other younger maids did not dare to crowd around them and annoy them, so they only dared to listen from a distance. Even Huirong was listening intently.

She was a martial artist, so she was naturally fascinated by the Jianghu. However, in her mind, the Jianghu should be a mysterious place. However, she did not expect that Jiang Shangxian said that the Jianghu started from a place called Niujia Village...

The sun had begun to set in the west at some point, its once golden sunlight slowly turning into the color of persimmons on autumn tree branches. The room also grew slightly darker. Jiang Shangxian concluded swiftly, slamming his hand on the table again: "To know what happened next, wait for the next episode!"

I'll go back and carve a piece of wood and make a folding fan, otherwise it will always feel a little lacking!

He felt the urge to urinate, which was still at a subtle stage. As long as he moved quickly enough, Xiao Jiang was confident that he could go home and sit on his own toilet to relieve himself.

"No more?" Cui Shuhua was stunned

“It’s gone!!!” Zhao Yue was also stunned.

They haven't heard enough, why is it gone?

Jiang Shangxian pointed outside and said, "It's already so late. If I don't go back now, my grandmother and mother will be worried."

At that moment, Zhao Yue, Cui Shuhua, and the Cui family maids who were eavesdropping outside all had a thought they had never thought of before: Why did Miss Jiang want to go back to her own family? When would she marry into our family? They were quite anxious.

Zhao Yue was the most uncomfortable among them. This was her daughter-in-law. If she married into the family, she would be able to pull her along to tell stories from morning to night.

"Well, then you can come early tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you..." Zhao Yue waved her handkerchief, reluctant to leave.

Jiang Shangxian politely declined, "Madam, I have to learn etiquette from my aunt tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be free."

It is more reasonable to work one day and rest one day, leaving time in between to recall the subsequent plot.

Zhao Yue's eyes fell on Cui Shuhua, who said firmly, "I will urge her to finish her studies early tomorrow!"

She felt that she needed to change the content of her lesson preparation. Etiquette is something that is engraved in the bones, and it is better to do it naturally. Being too anxious will only make it ugly.

Jiang Shangxian stared at his fat hands on his knees without saying a word. The villain in his heart was already going crazy at Ke Yun: Ah! My brain! My brain, where are you!

Because she enjoyed listening to the story so much, Xiao Jiang not only received a gift from Zhao Yue when she left, but Cui Shuhua also gave her a pair of gold-engraved armlets, saying that they were originally intended for her, but she was in a hurry when they first met and forgot to bring them to Lexianlou, so today was the perfect time to make up for it.

Xiao Jiang didn't care whether this statement was true or not. For the time being, it seemed that there would be no conflict of interest between her and Cui Shuhua. There was no conflict of interest between them. It was just a pair of armlets. What did it matter when they were given?

Whether the Cui family likes her or not is actually not particularly important. The most important thing for her is that she and Cui Bianxu are the best in the world, and Zhao Yue is the third best in the world. As for whether she is the eighth best in the world, it depends on the performance of the Cui family.

No one knew what was going on at the Dali Temple. Cui Bianxu had not yet returned home from get off work until the carriage that was taking her there slowly drove out of Yanshoufang.

Another day without kissing my boyfriend...

Dali Temple Xiao Cui's Office

Cui Bianxu stared at the letter in front of him in a daze, while the guard who delivered the letter was waiting silently for instructions.

He was covered in dust, and he had been sweating a lot in the recent hot weather. There was an ice jar in the room, which made him feel cooler, but it also stopped the sweat on his face.

To be honest, he also felt that he was quite dirty and smelly now.

You know, generally men don’t think they stink…

After a long moment, Cui Bianxu finally raised his head and asked, "Are you sure there's no one left alive?"

"Yes!"

The guard quickly replied, "I'm not sure. There were thirty-nine people in the caravan, and I only found twenty-nine bodies when I arrived."

That is to say, the fate of ten people is still unknown.

"Go back to the mansion first and ask Li Sheng to take a few people to check out the situation."

Cui Bianxu, who had come to his senses, could no longer bear the sour odor that kept coming from his nose: "Wash it well, and throw away this set of clothes."

"Yes!"
