[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

Since ancient times, China has had a table culture of talking about business while eating.During a lunch, in addition to asking Qinghe to help find suitable Yanjia materials and tools, Shen Xi also agreed with him on a general framework on how to build reputation. As for the specific details and implementation, it depends on Shen Ye's reply, as well as Liuyue City's decision on who to send as a representative.

Although Shen Xi selfishly hopes that Shen Ye will come in person, but thinking about it, it is impossible for the biggest person in charge of Liuyue City to do it himself, and her brother's character and aura are very strong. They are unwilling to give in, and a head-on confrontation will definitely screw things up.

It is necessary to win the trust of the high priest and be good at coordinating interpersonal relationships...

Priests of Seven Kills and Priests of Greedy Wolf who fail in interpersonal communication are excluded first; among those who meet the requirements, girls like Congyang and Huayue who are more beautiful than most of the same sex are also excluded. Emperor, Shen Xi can't count on his integrity and lower limit; Luan Priest Cheng Luan is very suitable for this assignment, but as the core of the monitoring system, he can't leave Liuyue City for a long time; Yu Feng, the priest of Jumen, is too young Some, I'm afraid he will be underestimated, and more importantly, his own father has a criminal record...

After thinking about all the people she knew, Shen Xi was still not sure who her elder brother would send to contact the emperor of the Central Plains.Thinking about Shen Ye's previous reply that people would probably come in the next few days, she didn't bother to die anymore.

Because of these recent things, the original discussion with Qiluo had to be postponed, and Congyang had to be reminded in advance, so as to cooperate with Shen Ye's arrangement at that time. In addition, I haven't been to Chengdu for a long time, and I still need dumplings say hi.

Shen Xi took the letter she had just written and went out to the post station. It was already afternoon when the three letters were sent out.

"Are you eloping? You haven't come back after running away for so long!"

As soon as she got back to her residence, Princess Li Gui rushed towards Second Miss Shen aggressively, "How dare you leave me alone for half a year! If you don't go to the house for three days, Shen Xi, your courage is getting bigger and bigger!"

Three days without a roof tile?This is talking about yourself...

Shen Xi took the crown of the sky from Chu Qi with a blank face, and threw it into the well in the corner of the courtyard with a raised hand. There was a splash of water, which was really refreshing.

Then Lala, who was dressed in camouflage, squatted back to the well again, full of mourning.

"It's really difficult for you to take care of them for half a year..." Shen Xi said to Yiqing who came out of the house after hearing the sound with a straight face.

"Haha, what is this? The story of Bao'er and Lala is also very interesting~" The woman who was also dressed as a Taoist priest in azure blue said cheerfully, "Thanks to them, I have a lot of inspiration Woolen cloth!"

Shen Xi tilted her head in confusion: "What inspiration?"

"Write a legendary storybook!"

Yiqing took out a stack of manuscripts and waved it in front of Shen Xi, "Two-thirds of it has been written, and I have already thought of the name, Princess Jiaoman!"

Such a blatant name, you can tell it’s a goofy little talk at a glance. With Li Bao’er and Lala’s piss-like nature of hiding and chasing each other, the content in it is most likely the author’s own imagination—or It's just making up.

Yiqing, if you continue like this, you will be so cool that you will have no friends... Shen Xi silently looked away, with a gloomy expression.

Seeing Yiqing and bad friends who are quickly mingling together, as well as a zombie and a ghost joining in the fun, Qinghe suddenly feels that the future is bleak.

Shen Ye's reply letter arrived before dinner, saying that the person who went to the lower realm to contact the Central Plains emperor had been confirmed, and he would come to meet Shen Xi tomorrow, but the letter was a trap, and he didn't tell Shen Xi who came, only that he was an acquaintance .Thinking about meeting someone tomorrow, Shen Xi didn't bother with this issue.

Although the house has been unoccupied for a long time, Qinghe and Yiqing had already cleaned it when they came here. Shen Xi only cleaned up another guest room, and then went to the backyard to collect yuqian, preparing to eat yuqian dinner at night and make some snacks by the way. The season's seasonal snack, elm money cake, will be entertained tomorrow.

Someone knocked on the door early the next morning. The moment Shen Xi heard the sound and opened the door, she was in a bad mood. Then she quickly slammed the door, turned around and found the yuqian cake that she was going to serve as an extra meal for breakfast.

Yigao, who was locked outside the door, had twitching veins on his forehead. After enduring it for a long time, he still didn't break in because he was afraid that a bottle of aqua regia would hit him in the face.

A quarter of an hour later, Yi Gao was finally let into the house by Chu Qi who was out shopping for vegetables.

It wasn't that Chu Qi was soft-hearted or deliberately confronting Shen Xi, but that Shen Ye had already told him in advance, telling him to keep an eye on Shen Xi and stop pushing too hard.Anyway, Yigao is also very old, if she messes up badly, not only will the brother and sister lose face, but they will have to find another unlucky ghost to change Yigao's class.

Shen Xi also knew these reasons, and after humming a few times reluctantly, she still brought Yigao to Qinghe. As for the specific matters, it would depend on how they discussed.

——Only responsible for making ideas, work and taking the blame are other people's business.

After thinking about it, Shen Xi decided to ask Shang Yiqing and Wen Liu to go out for a whole day.

Using Ruyiju's secret water refining calf as bait, Shen Xi successfully tricked Chenghuang into a one-foot-long miniature form, rubbing his fur in his arms.While biting the freshly baked hot scallion pancake, Shen Xi planned to write another letter to her little friend, informing her that her eldest cousin from the countryside had entered the city. As for today's lunch and dinner...

Anyway, Qinghe will be bigu, and Chu Qi has not gone far, so let him stop buying vegetables today, and everyone will eat outside.

Second Miss Shen, who had a bad idea again, smiled secretly. She didn't believe that Yigao, who had never eaten in the lower realm, knew how to get food.

Unaware of Shen Xi's little abacus, Yigao had just finished greeting Qinghe, and was conveying Shen Ye's plan in a concise manner, listening to Qinghe's opinion by the way.

It has to be said that Yigao has a good appearance of being an immortal, and has the ability to swallow jade to cover up his devilish aura, and he has been in a high position for many years, so it is not a problem to try to figure out the thoughts of the superiors and play a guest role in front of the emperor. .

Although they are deadly rivals, Shen Ye and Yi Gao have the same ideas when it comes to shaping their external image.

Compared with a powerful and secretive local tyrant, an ancient tribe that has lived in the northern border for a long time without competing with the world and is not lacking in good nature is obviously easier to be accepted by people.

When Shen Xi came back, her complexion was not very good. She heard an unconfirmed news on the street. It was said that the rebels colluded with monsters. The rebels used the power of monsters to wreak havoc, and the monsters also took the opportunity to devour humans and animals to increase their skills.

Although in this way, it will be more justifiable for the monastic forces outside the secular world to intervene in the battlefield, but the overall strength of the opponent will increase, which means that the manpower to be invested in Liuyue City will also increase accordingly... The more people who walk the lower world, the more they can retain. The less secrets there are, especially the fact that the people of Lie Shanbu have devilish energy.

Compared with Shen Xi, Qinghe and Yigao's reactions were not very surprised, but they felt "as expected".

"You already know?"

Shen Xi curled her lips. Although Yigao has been stationed in Longbingyu in recent years, she doesn't know much about the situation in the Central Plains, so Qinghe is the only one who knows that there are monsters in the rebel army.

Qinghe shook his head slightly, took Wen Liu who hadn't had time to return to his original form, and stroked his hair one after another.

"It's just that I heard some turmoil earlier. It is said that before the rebellion, a small group of monsters gathered near Fan Yang, and then disappeared... Just now, I was talking about this matter with Senior Yigao, and you came back."

"The leader of the rebel army, Zhaluoshan, is the son of a Turkic wizard. If there are some methods to control monsters, it is not impossible..."

In order not to fight unprepared battles, Shen Xi also worked hard to collect information, "The pronunciation of Zhaluoshan means 'God of War' in Turkic. With this name, if there are monsters to help out, it will take a long time It is not surprising that there are 15 horses assembled in the country."

Hearing that Shen Xi mentioned God of War, Yigao couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Monsters are not to be feared, and those who perversely do things like that will not last long."

The Shennong believed by the Lieshan tribe is among the three emperors. Even if it is not the god of military power, it is definitely not comparable to those little gods who don't even know their names.The emperor of the Central Plains claimed to be on behalf of the heavens, and it was nothing more than that. A rebel leader dared to call himself a god, and he was simply impatient to live.When Yigao raised the flag to fight Shen Ye and almost killed Shen Xi, he was never as arrogant as Zhaluoshan.

Thinking about it, Yigao still remembers his personality, no matter how despised and disdainful he still has a sense of IQ superiority in his heart, he still maintains a calm and pretentious expression on his face.

Shen Xi is narrow-minded, if someone accidentally reveals her inner feelings and gets caught by her, even if she doesn't die, she will have to shed her skin—literally, the demon in Ju Muli is the best negative example .

"That's your business." Second Miss Shen spread her hands, "If you're not in this position, you won't seek success, you guys work hard, if you want any Gu insect poison, just come to me!"

The implication is, withdraw first, you are busy with your work.

Shen Xi did have something to do, instead of planning how to gain favorability, the most urgent thing was to fix Chu Qi's broken Yanjia as soon as possible.

Although Chu Qi said that it will not affect daily activities for the time being, it does not mean that she can just leave it alone, not to mention that Shen Xi, who is hiding the truth from her brother, has a guilty conscience.

"Qinghe helped prepare the materials and tools. I went out today and got something that might be useful. Let's see what else is missing."

While talking, Shen Xi stepped into a room that was temporarily tidied up.

"Yigao will stay here for a few more days, let's keep a low profile and don't let him see the clues, otherwise there will be trouble."

It was already dark, and she didn't light the lamp, and released a group of lanternflies emitting milky white fluorescence, and the whole room was instantly lit up.

Chu Qi looked it up a bit, Shen Xi asked him to make a list before, but everything he wrote on the list can be found in the house, and he can repair the defect of the armor in half an hour, but...

"The subordinate may make mistakes in repairing it himself. If Miss Xi can..."

"No problem." Shen Xi nodded decisively, "How can I help?"

..........................................................................................

Yiqing and Shen Xi came back together, she was not as mad as Shen Xi, she still brought some food.After delivering the food to Qinghe, she was about to take a shower, when she passed by the yard, she saw Li Baoer squatting outside a brightly lit room, chanting something as if she was cursing someone, her whole body was filled with black resentment, Lala She just stood behind and didn't care.

"What's the matter?" Yiqing stretched out his hand and poked Her Royal Highness on the shoulder, "Who are you angry with again?"

Li Bao'er turned his head, looked at Yiqing blankly, did not speak, then turned his head back blankly, and then pointed to the brightly lit room in front of him.

The two figures projected on the dim yellow window screen, one big and one small, with clear outlines, were obviously Chu Qi and Shen Xi.Although they couldn't see what they were doing, they could still distinguish some general movements, such as too close physical contact, and occasionally the two shadows would overlap... Yiqing even saw the movement of the tall figure putting on his clothes and getting up.

After escaping far enough, Yiqing cast a glance at Li Gui at the side out of the corner of his eye, and his resentment grew stronger.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Xi didn't come back nearly half a year late, Li Bao'er had a big opinion, seeing Shen Xi during the day blurted out that she was accusing Shen Xi of elopement...

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Yiqing finally understood the root cause of Li Gui's inability to have love with the mummy no matter what.

——She seemed to see the gate of the new world slowly opening in front of her eyes.
