Chapter 16

The banquet was served very quickly, not long after Gu Xiao took Sheng'er to his seat, a servant brought a table of banquets to him.

Gu Xiao looked at the banquet in front of him, the dishes were very simple, there were only a few simple dishes.

Looking at the simple dishes in front of him, and then at the almost identical dishes in front of Lian Po and Li Mu, Gu Xiao immediately had a deeper respect for these two people.

With the talents and power of these two people, it is completely possible to live a luxurious life similar to that of Zhao Mu. It is unexpected that these two guys live so simply.

Those who can lead by example are often respected by others, and Gu Xiao is no exception.

Li Mu raised his wine glass and said, "Strong man, don't you really have the intention to become an official?"

"The old general was joking. I'm just a martial artist. Even if I become an official, it's just adding another martial artist to the world." Gu Xiao said without changing his face.
As soon as Li Mu spoke, he focused all his attention on Dugu Xiao, observing Gu Xiao's expression carefully, trying to see if he could seduce Gu Xiao.However, to his disappointment, Gu Xiao was completely unmoved, not at all interested in becoming an official, not at all moved.

"Being an official in Zhao Kingdom? Am I crazy?" Gu Xiao sneered in his heart.

Even if his status in this life is not counted, he would not choose to serve Zhao country!

I think back then, King Zhao Wuling of the Zhao Kingdom devoted himself to reform, what a heroic spirit he was.But since the current King Zhao Xiaocheng, Zhao Guo has successively gone through three generations: King Zhao Xiaocheng, King Zhao Mourning, and King Zhao. Lost completely!

Gu Xiao has no interest in being Li Mu, he is so useless! (To make a digression, Li Mu claims to be the number one obstacle to Qin’s unification of the world, but he died very cowardly. Zhao Wangqian was killed by Guo Kai’s counter-scheming and slander, and ordered to kill Li Mu. After hearing the news, Li Mu fled. Still died in the hands of the pursuers!)

"A strong man is too modest. In my opinion, a strong man is a rare general. How can he be a warrior?" Lian Po looked at Gu Xiao repeatedly, but he never found out where he had seen Gu Xiao. Therefore, he just I was able to let go of the doubts in my heart, aroused a love of talent, and wanted to recruit him.

"The old general's words are serious. Gu Xiao is a villager in the mountains and fields. He dare not hope for glory and wealth. What he wants in his life is to be able to follow the example of his family teacher and Cao Qiudao, and become famous all over the world with his Qingfeng!" Gu Xiao politely refused again.

"Oh, unexpectedly, your Excellency has the heart to challenge Cao Qiudao, the sword sage of Jixia?" Li Mu's mind was extremely high, and he heard the hidden meaning in Gu Xiao's words. There is a lot of admiration, but there is also a kind of fighting spirit that is eager to try. Obviously, he does not worship Cao Qiudao as a god like ordinary swordsmen.

"The family teacher was defeated by Cao Qiudao's sword back then, and one finger was cut off. This kind of shame and humiliation has always been engraved in my heart. If I can't avenge the shame of my family teacher, I will be a disciple!" Gu Xiao said without hesitation. He said that he would definitely challenge Cao Qiudao in the future.

"Really? Then the old man is here to wish the strong man the victory in the future, defeating Cao Qiudao, and ascending to the throne of the world's number one swordsman!" Lian Po said.

"Accept the old general's auspicious words!" Gu Xiao said lightly.

Lian Po and Li Mu tried to solicit many times, but they were always rejected by Gu Xiao.

Although the two were a little disappointed, they didn't take it too seriously. After all, everyone has their own ambitions.

Zheng'er didn't speak all the time, just buried his head in eating, but a dish of roasted tofu on the table seemed to be particularly to his taste, and he kept chewing.

Lian Po watched Zheng'er eating roasted tofu non-stop, and said with a smile: "Haha, little guy, you seem to like eating white meat?"

"Baiqirou?" Gu Xiao was startled.

"Oh, the old man forgot, the strong man is not from the state of Zhao, so I don't know the origin of the white meat. Since the Battle of Changping in the past, all the soldiers of the state of Zhao have died at the hands of Bai Qi, so I, Bai Qi of the state of Zhao, has sacrificed to pay homage to Bai Qi. In order to express their hatred for Bai Qi, the innocent souls who died in the battle used Shu rice as a dish, tofu as meat, grilled on the fire, and mixed tofu residue with garlic and ginger to make "dipping head", which means that Bai Qi's brain Pound it into mud and eat it with tofu, which is called "white meat". Now, it has been spread throughout our country of Zhao, and it has become a must-eat dish for people of our country!" Li Mu explained.

"Really?" Gu Xiao smiled lightly, feeling his heart was bleeding, he didn't intend to try this dish at all, instead he began to drink dull wine.

"What? Doesn't the strong man want to try this dish?" Lian Po took a bite with his chopsticks, and took a bite, as if he was really eating white meat, the bright red sauce splashed, His beard was dyed blood red, and he asked while eating.

"Bai Qi was killed by Fan Ju's slander a few years ago, even if he really ate his meat, it would be useless, let alone it was just a plate of tofu!" Gu Xiao said.

Said so on the surface, but in fact Zheng'er clearly saw that his master's fist under the table had already been tightly clenched, and the veins on the back of his hand were bursting out, and he wanted to smash the table in front of him with one punch. the point.

"This statement is justified! Although Bai Qi was a famous general of his generation, he killed too much, and finally he was punished by the gods. This is also the retribution he deserves! I only hope that future generations can learn from it!" Li Mu, who is also a famous general, mentioned Bai Qi couldn't help feeling a little sad, and said with a sigh.

"Hmph! Your fate is not much better?" Gu Xiao sneered in his heart.

To be honest, as the saying goes, keeping a business is more difficult than starting a business!

Although Gu Xiao didn't know what the keeper of the industry should look like, but it definitely didn't include the three generations of King Zhao Xiaocheng!

Li Mu and Lian Po's dismal end, isn't it the best portrayal of these three generations of foolish kings?

After the episode of Bai Qirou, Lian Po and Li Mu secretly exchanged glances, and then it was as if nothing had happened.

Occasionally, these two old guys raised their heads and had a chat with Gu Xiao. Generally speaking, the atmosphere between them was quite intense.

"Damn it, I have to leave here as soon as possible!" An inexplicable sense of crisis rose from Gu Xiao's heart. He had a feeling that if he didn't leave, it would be impossible to leave the land of Zhao country alive.
