Maybe, maybe...

Mr. Chu is really different from usual...

Before arriving at Yonggu Pass, Lu Jue did not relieve Xu Quan's doubts at all. He even thought that this young man was even more noisy than Xian Yujian - are the young men so slandered? But after arriving at Yonggu Pass...

Lu Jue looked at Chu Yao, whose aura suddenly changed, and whispered to Xu Quan when everyone was not paying attention.

“…Wen Shi, you are not alone.”

Xu Quan's heart and eyes were filled with the majestic and steepness of Yonggu Pass. How could he still remember the comments he had made two or three days ago?

Hearing this suddenly, his eyes were confused.

He asked, "What's not a person?"

Lu Jue said: "Mr. Gongcao seems to be here to collect debts."

Look, Mr. Chu Yao's arrogant and murderous back! Even Yonggu Pass, one of the three dangerous passes in the Northwest Continent, cannot suppress his momentum, and even set off his momentum! Lu Jue has no doubt that if there is an enemy blocking the road ahead, Mr. Chu Yao will also unsheathed sword! Kill one person in ten steps and keep it for thousands of miles!

Xu Quan was speechless: "???"

Is Brother Lu Shousheng's reaction so slow?

He swallowed the complaints silently.

He said: "We will not lose to the formation. Gongcao probably wants to be stronger and give the garrison a strong momentum!"

Chu Yao was originally He Yin Gongcao, and was transferred to Longwu County with Shen Tang. He was still in this position, and the same was true for others, except that the prefix changed from "He Yin" to "Longwu".

This time, the lord is on his way to the envoy, and his momentum cannot be lost!

Lu Jue looked at Chu Yao's back and then at Xu Quan.

He always felt that it was not as simple as "losing someone but not losing the formation", but there was no better explanation now. He blinked and accepted Xu Quan's reason. After thinking about it, Lu Jue thought about it, he transformed into half a pair of martial armor, held a machete in his hand, walked eight outside, one meter away!

When Xu Quan saw it, he followed suit.

One left and one right guard, a combination of evil spirits and evil spirits.

Chu Yao, who felt the martial arts fluctuation behind him, said: "..."

A nervous messenger: "..."

This is really here to fight???

Fortunately, except for these two, the other soldiers did not move, and the messenger's tense nerves gradually relaxed, but he still did not forget to send a letter to the chief clerk and be on guard!

In short, the group maintained such a strange atmosphere and was introduced to the Yongguguan military camp. When the soldiers at the sentry tower received the news, they had already gone to report the news early. The messenger welcomed Chu Yao and others into the tent of the guests and ordered people to bring the hot tea.

Chu Yao's attention is not here.

He asked the messenger: "I just saw the flag on the city wall, with strong handwriting, tall and straight, and quite elegant. I think it was not a masterpiece, and it was always the same. I wonder who mentioned it? I have loved this in my life and I am happy as soon as I see it."

The messenger was quite proud when he heard this.

"The words on the flag? That was written by the chief clerk of the army."

Chu Yao asked again: "The chief clerk? Don't know the surname of respect?"

The messenger said: "The chief clerk's surname is Yu."

Chu Yao said "Oh".

There was no expectation or joy of seeing the calligraphy master on his face, but there were more complex emotions in his eyes that Lu Jue could not understand. These emotions rendered Chu Yao's eyes deeper, as if they could swallow all the light.

He asked again: "The chief general's surname is 'Chu'?"

The messenger nodded: "Yes."

I wondered about this question as I asked it knowingly.

Isn’t the “Chu” on the flag obvious?

Chu Yao said "Oh" again.

He picked up the tea water with white mist and took a sip, then closed his eyes and rested, as if he was ready to wait. As he expected, several people were hung in the camp and waited for more than an hour, and Lu Jue and Xu Quan were both angry.

The messenger had to smile and kept ordering people to come in and add tea. One pot after another was pouring oil on the fire.

Lu Jue can still hold back and speak out.

Xu Quan is not a patient person.

He is the precious cousin of the head of the Xu family.

Even if you don’t come out to work hard, you can be a rich playboy in your life, and you won’t have to worry about eating and drinking.

He said, "This is called hospitality?"

He also criticized: "We represent the lord, and we have been running around for two or three days, but we are not prepared at all? The surveillance of the sentry towers along the way is dense, so I don't believe that we will be able to find someone to receive them when we are about to come! Even if the lord is not here, the lord who can handle the matter should be here? So suddenly, is it because he sincerely despises us?"

His right hand has put on the hilt of the knife around his waist and his eyes are wide open.

Although the blade was not unsheathed, it revealed a trace of the murderous aura of a brave warrior, which was enough to make the messenger sweat.

The messenger had to rack his brains to find excuses.

"Young general, please calm down. It's not that we are negligent, but that the ten black horse bandits have been rampant recently. They often take advantage of the insufficient patrol force to dig through the city walls and smuggle the pass. In order to protect the common people in the pass, the generals and the others will go out to patrol from time to time..."

"Oh? Take it seriously?"

The messenger nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this time it should be a coincidence that the general and the others went out to inspect again. In the past, it took two or three hours to come back."

His words were not considered lying.

However, as a guard, his own generals rarely leave and need to sit in Yonggu Pass for a long time to prevent Shiwu from gathering troops to suddenly attack. Small matters such as patrolling the city walls and catching horses and bandits digging are usually handed over to the soldiers and generals below.

Although the messenger didn't know why the guards didn't come, he guessed a few points - probably he was deliberately leaving the people out, trying to grind the momentum of the group of people and give them a warning - but he didn't know how long he would have to leave the people alone, so he could only talk about it for a long time.

Xu Quan hummed heavily.

Obviously, I didn't believe the messenger's nonsense.

But the excuse was too unpredictable to make mistakes, so he could only endure it and curse it in his heart.

The only one present without any rush—

It's Chu Yao.

Not only did he not worry, he also asked someone to continue to continue tea.

The messenger secretly observed his behavior and thought that this person was very calm. As he watched, he felt that Chu Yao's skills in making tea were very familiar, and even some small movements were very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere...

Chu Yao noticed the envoy's thoughtful gaze.

He smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

The messenger said: "Sir, I'm so good at making tea."

In fact, he couldn't see any tricks. He just thought that Chu Yao's movements were very ornamental, and he gave people the feeling of "the tea made by this guy is definitely expensive". Just praise him with your eyes open, but people like to listen to good words anyway.

Xu Quan's attention was also attracted.

Only Lu absolutely has no interest in this.

Isn’t it just throwing some green leaves into the hot water?

What are some tricks to talk about?

Compared to this strange way of drinking, he liked the tea his wife had cooked for him in the boudoir. The thing could be said to be tea porridge. Any colorful ingredients could be thrown into it.

The taste is fragrant, and you will be full after two pots.

Unlike Mr. Chu who likes to drink leaf tea.

"Tea porridge" is the authentic "tea"!

Xu Quan said: "This kind of tea art is rare."

The most popular thing at the moment is the "tea porridge" mentioned by Lu Jue, such as onion, ginger, garlic, orange peel, dogwood, etc. The richer the family, the more ingredients they add. Fried tea leaves and make tea, which is generally popular among small countries or common people, probably related to the relatively simple acquisition of the ingredients.

Xu Quan drank more "tea porridge"...

Emmm…

Actually, I don't like both teas.

He still likes to drink.

Tea is something his cousin likes, who always plots against others. A brave warrior and strong wine are the perfect match! But I have to say that watching the teacher make tea is a kind of enjoyment, as if even his anxiety can be relieved.

"I learned it in my childhood, but I haven't practiced it for many years, and I've become much more unfamiliar." Chu Yao was clearly laughing, but when he said that when he said the word "Shaoshi", his eyes seemed to have become two or three more minutes colder.

The messenger suddenly remembered.

He smiled and said, "No, no, no, how can you be considered unfamiliar? In my opinion, the gentleman and the chief clerk are all the same!"

Chu Yao's smile on the corner of his lips was a little stronger.

When Xu Quan noticed the messenger's words, he did not expect that the chief clerk whom he had never met had overlapped with his own Mr. Gongcao so much. If the other party had not deliberately kept them away, Xu Quan's favorability towards the chief clerk would have been higher.

"really?"

The messenger smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
