Chapter 40 Private meeting

Looking at the history of ancient Chinese novels, from pre-Qin mythology, to the strange acquaintances of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, to Tang legends and Song slogans, and after thousands of years of concise, it has achieved the highest artistic level of Ming and Qing novels.

If "Chu Ci" is a collection of pre-Qin myths, "Soushen Ji" from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is a representative work of the novel "Sou Shen" in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Any literature that is separated from the times itself is rootless. "Soushen Ji" describes people, ghosts, ghosts, illusions, retribution, love, and love. Although it is full of imagination that transcends the times, its essence is still based on the social politics, thoughts and folk customs of the time. Therefore, the most important reason why the strange stories in "Soushen Ji" can be widely spread is that they are warmly welcomed by the vast majority of the people.

Compared with the elegance of poetry, songs and essays, calligraphy and painting, the story of simple reasoning, ups and downs of plot, strange and mysterious stories are the easiest to pass on word of mouth, and are also the easiest to set off a wave of sought after by the whole nation in a short period of time.

Of course, the so-called shortest will take at least several years!

Xu You didn’t have that long wait, nor did he waste such a long time on such a thing, so what he had to do was just to slightly improve the way and method of dissemination!

"spirits?"

"Not bad! To deal with Du Jingzhi, you can only create another charlatan..."

The three of them had finished their plan, and He Ru and Zuo Qi were about to leave, but Xu You suddenly said, "Qiyi, why do I feel that Bao Xi is a little unworthy of his name?"

He Ru stopped and made no sound.

"Since Gu Dongyang sent to assist Gu Yun, his wisdom and strategy should be the best choice. But I see his performance in Zhibin Tower, he has always been timid and restrained, and has no ability to make decisions at the right time, which really makes people doubt!"

He Ru said quietly: "Bao Xi doesn't need to worry too much, he is not an obstacle!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

Xu You smiled slightly and said, "That's good, go, I'll have a day of tiredness and rest early!"

Zuo Qi bowed and left. After He Ru left the door, he turned around and sat opposite Xu You. Xu You maintained the sitting position just now, not surprised that He Ru was leaving and returning. He lowered his head and gently stroked the jade cup in his hand without making any noise.

"Bao Xi and I were old acquaintances when we were in the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion..."

Xu You raised his head, put the jade cup on the table, and smiled and said, "Bao Xi is not our obstacle? Isn't it?"

"Yes! I promise!"

"That's fine. As for the past between you and him, it must be the secret in your heart. You don't need to tell me, and I don't need to know it. The key is to be intimate. If you and me are intimate, you will not doubt it. If you don't doubt, you will not be in chaos. This is the way for a long time and the way for success."

He Ru restrained his usual arrogance and said respectfully: "Promise!"

At midnight, the moon was bright outside the window, and Qian Tangcheng fell into complete silence. Xu You had just fallen asleep and suddenly woke up. Just as he was about to listen to the sound coming from, Zuo Teng had already broken into the door, holding his sword in his hand, protecting him beside him.

"what happen?"

"I don't know yet... someone must have broke in and was fighting after being discovered!"

Xu You put on his clothes and walked to the window. He could see that the two people stood apart in the yard. One of them was the ghost-catching spirit Li Yifeng, but the other was shocked. He was the old servant who responded to the door.

The two of them didn't know what they said in the yard, Li Yifeng quickly retreated and reached under the yard wall. She tilted her toes and her body rose into the air, and disappeared outside the wall. The old servant coughed a few times, hunched his back, and walked back to the doorman slowly.

"There is indeed a hidden dragon and a tiger in this yard. Even an old slave can force the ghost-catching spirit officer in Yangzhou to retreat. No wonder Zhan Wenjun is confident of keeping us safe." Xu You watched the old servant leave with great interest and said, "Fenghu, go back and rest. If there is such a powerful person to keep the door, there will be no trouble!"

Zuo Qi hesitated and said, "Or I'd better stay in the room... Since Li Yifeng came to assassinate the husband, I'm afraid she wouldn't let go so easily..."

The reputation of Tianshidao is not something that can be coaxed into a baby. If you really make up your mind to deal with someone, I am afraid that no one in the world can sleep peacefully.

Xu You's side face looked very soft under the moonlight and said softly: "Don't worry, it's true that Li Yifeng is here to look for me, but he is not here to find trouble!"

Zuo Qi was a little puzzled and said, "If you don't make trouble, can you still reminisce about the past with your husband?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Let you guess it right!"

There was a knock on the door outside the door. Zuo Qi looked at Xu You, saw him nodding, and went over to open the door. Zhan Wenjun stood outside the door, followed by Qian Qin and Wan Qi, bowing and saying, "The thief who broke in has retreated, which scared Xu Langjun."

Xu You shrugged, his posture was extremely cool, and he smiled and said, "The lady is the first one to call the ghost-catching spirit official a thief!"

"If you enter without warning, you are called a thief. So what if you catch a ghost? You are just a thief!"

This is so grand, but grandeur requires confidence. Zhan Wenjun is undoubtedly confident to have a master like Lao Pu as a gatekeeper and said, "If Langjun Xu is not sleepy, can Wenjun come in?"

In the middle of the night, although the two were not alone, they were not in harmony with each other, especially Zhan Wenjun lost his husband for a year and was still in mourning. If it was spread, it would probably be insulting his reputation.

Zhan Wenjun may not care, but Xu You actually didn’t care, but he couldn’t ignore whether Guo Mian also had such a generous mind.

"If Madam wants to ask about the specific plan after having a white snake and having a human, I can only say that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. After two days, Madam will naturally know!"

Zhan Wenjun heard Xu You's polite rejection, and was not angry. He smiled. His erect sword eyebrows raised up, with a pleasant smell. He said, "Then don't disturb Xu Langjun's rest! Just leave it to Wanqi to guard this place tonight. If there is something wrong, just tell her!"

After saying that, he took Qianqin away, Wan Qi didn't look at Xu You and stood alone to the door, as if an ice sculpture beauty had almost solidified the air around him.

When Zuo Shi saw this scene, he could not sleep at ease, and he stood there on the other side of the door. The two of them were on the left and right, just like two door gods, but they were not fierce enough. Instead, one uncle and the other girl had an inexplicable sense of matching.

Xu You advised him a few times, but neither of them listened. He went to bed helplessly. He seemed to see a woman in her dream, with red clothes and green hair, which seemed to be far and near.

When he woke up the next day, Xu You called Feng Hu twice, Zuo Yu pushed the door and entered. He didn't sleep all night, but he was full of energy and did not show any fatigue. He had a good foundation and could withstand the hardship.

"Where is Wanqi?" Xu You turned his head and looked at it, but didn't see Wanqi's figure. He said strangely: "Can you run away in the middle of the night? Zhan Wenjun is not doing this. No maids around him are obedient."

Zuo Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Forgot? Mrs. Zhan ordered to watch at night. So she left as soon as the sky dawns!"

Xu You shook his head and laughed, saying, "So he is too obedient..."

While chatting and laughing, the autumnal equinox came in and served Xu You to put on his clothes. Xu You took everyone downstairs. Breakfast had been arranged in the hall. Zhan Wenjun did not show up, and Baihua was responsible for the reception.

"Qiyi, you have dinner with the autumnal equinox first, and I will go out with Fenghu."

He Ru nodded. Needless to say, he knew what Xu You was going out to do, but Baihua smiled and said, "Xu Lang, my wife has given you instructions and tell you not to go out!"

"It's okay, I'll just walk around the neighborhood for a while and I'll be back in half an hour!"

Xu You and Zuo Qi left Zhan’s house and walked around the streets casually. Qiantang is a county seat and a concentration of trade. The market system is not strictly divided according to markets, so it is not a metropolis like Jinling. The market will not open until noon. As we can see at this club, many business people are already rushing around the streets, and some scattered restaurants have also started business with early pedestrians.

"Li Ji Tangpan, let's go here, go in and try the store's skills!" After Xu You and Zuo Qi went in, they found that the store was doing a prosperous business. More than a dozen tables were filled with people. After waiting for a while, they found a seat next to the inner room, which was quite the experience of queuing up to a famous restaurant in later generations.

Zuo Qi asked the shop for two soup cakes. Before he could serve it, a skinny man sat opposite the two.

Ghost-catching spirit officer, Li Yifeng!
