Early landing in the world of martial arts

The suzerain said unconvinced.

He also went in there back then, and knew what it was like inside. If he, who didn't know it before, was allowed to go in again, he might not be so lucky to survive.

"Luck is a part of strength. But even if you were lucky back then, so what, could it be that you kid can become the leader of this world?"

Ren Changsheng glared at him.

The latter shuddered suddenly, and only then did he realize that the gap between himself and the other party was such that he dared to speak like this just now, and it was indeed a bit unruly.

"Indeed, although luck is also a part of strength, it does not represent everything. In the end, it still depends on talent to speak."

The suzerain nodded.

His luck back then wasn't bad, but no matter how he chased after him, he still couldn't compare to the person in front of him.

It should have been understood then that there are gaps that can never be filled with luck.

Chapter 408 Xiaobie wins the newlyweds

"Hey, it's comfortable to be back in my own home."

"Master, I have suffered so much in the Western Region border, and now I am finally back."

When Jin Youde returned home, he threw himself on his bed.

Regardless of the dust all over his body, he began to roll on the soft bed, enjoying the faint scent of sandalwood.

In the border city, the only thing you can smell every day is the smell of blood and the yellow sand all over the sky.

Now the war was finally over, and he was able to return home.

He was deeply moved by the long-lost smell of fireworks in the capital.

As the first-rank official's carriage, after he slowly entered the capital, it attracted a lot of attention.

Jin Youde quite enjoyed these gazes.

Because no one looked at him in that closed place, and no one really cared about him.

Although there are no such people in the capital city, there are always a lot of flatterers. Even if it is hypocritical concern, it is much better than that ghostly place that no one cares about.

"Master, if you don't take a bath, the water you just put in will be cold."

The main wife came to the room and complained.

Hearing this, Jin Youde followed his reputation.

I have to say that after so many years as an old couple, this is the first time our Master Jin thinks that his wife is so beautiful.

Much more flavorful than those wildflowers outside.

But his journey back to the capital was not smooth.

Even the young man whom he held in high regard died on the way.

It was the first time that Jin Youde dug someone else's grave, and he dug it himself, although it was not elegant or unique.

But now he can still remember that kid calling him sir by his side.

Although there is a bit of initiative to flatter, but he can still see the February sky where the grass grows and the warblers fly from the eyes of the young man.

"That's the old man's lost youth."

At this moment, Jin Youde suddenly felt that he was old, although in fact he was already old.

In the past, he never had such a weird, decadent feeling.

After getting up from the bed, he got into the wooden bucket full of hot water, soaked his head and body in the hot water, and closed his eyes.

At this moment, all five senses and six consciousnesses were shut down.

He fell into an ethereal state, but the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Until the end, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he stood up abruptly.

Panting heavily, Jin Youde felt much better.

After washing his body, he came to the bronze mirror, looked at his loose skin, and touched his wrinkled old face.

"It's not that old, is it?"

He seems to be questioning himself in the mirror, but also seems to be answering.

"It is said that heroes are afraid of gray hair, and beauties are afraid of old age. But I am not a hero. I am just a civil servant standing in the court, so I am afraid of gray hair."

After finishing these words quite arrogantly, Jin Youde put on his clothes with satisfaction.

"Once the spring is gone, the beauty is old, and the flower falls and the person dies, and neither knows."

he murmured.

Right now his wife is still sitting on the edge of the bed mending clothes for him.

He didn't know how long he hadn't worn mended clothes.

Since the family became rich, even if the clothes are dirty, I don't bother to wash them, but just ask the servants to make a few more for me.

He seemed to have suddenly realized his conscience, walked over, and stroked his wife's white hair on the sideburns.

The latter looked up at him somewhat flattered, and smiled softly.

It was rare for the Jin Mansion to have a warm atmosphere.

……

The Hong residence was not so lively, but the husband and wife sat at the dining table to eat, no different from usual.

"During this period of time, I have gained a lot in the border town. I don't think it will take a few days before the commander-in-chief I like can become a general."

Hong Yuelian ate the food cooked by his wife, and told the truth indifferently.

If this sentence was leaked to the court and fell into the ears of an official at will, it would cause a bloodbath.

But Hong Yuelian just said it to his wife so nonchalantly, as if talking about those insignificant daily routines.

"I see. You should be more careful when you go out. Recently, the price of vegetables in the capital has risen again. When will you ask the emperor to increase your salary?"

the wife complained.

After all, he is a dignified first-rank official, but his family's salary is not enough to eat.

Even the monthly food expenses need to be calculated carefully, which is really embarrassing.

"I see. I'm not just telling you. I made a great contribution in the border. I guess I can ask for some rewards."

Hong Yuelian said.

When the word money was mentioned, Mrs. Hong seemed to be much more enthusiastic.

"How much is the reward, at least enough for a meal of meat?"

"I don't know, but I guess gold and silver should be brought in in boxes."

"Well, like this, does it mean that if I spend money on grocery shopping tomorrow, I don't have to save money?"

"It's still necessary to save a little bit, after all, the road ahead is so long, and there will always be a time when it will be spent."

"Well... that's true. But it doesn't matter. If the money is gone, don't you have to continue to make more money? You can't be an official for the sake of being hungry."

"That's not the case, but it's not easy to be an official. I guess he got impatient that day and didn't want to be an official."

"If you don't want it to happen, let's raise some money and open a small shop. At least we can hang out. Maybe we can meet a few blind buyers, which can make more money than you can do as an official."

Mrs. Hong seems to have begun to look forward to what will happen after her husband resigns.

Hong Yuelian smiled, and went to fill himself another big bowl of rice.

Although he ate and lived with all the soldiers at the border, there was one thing to say—those meals were really not comparable to those prepared by his own wife.

"Oh, that's right, don't forget to come back and bring me a two-foot cloth when you attack."

"What do you want Bu to do?"

"You don't want to see how the clothes are torn after you come back. If you don't mend them, how can you wear them out to meet people?"

"Then I'll just pull another six and a half feet of calico."

"What? You don't do anything with so many flowers, and it's not like you don't need to give gifts during the holidays."

"Let me make you a dress."

"Spending money indiscriminately! Why don't he bring two catties of pork back from Caishikou, and cook braised pork for you tonight!"

"That's fine, then I won't buy floral cloth."

"You! You heartless!"

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed.

The husband and wife who reunited after this farewell will feel more or less closer than usual for a period of time.

But the palace is different.

That is the winter of the human heart.

If it is a heart that is not easy to become enthusiastic, it will gradually wither and wither in this winter, and finally turn into dust on the ground.

And the dust on the ground in the palace is all the heart dust of the woman who floated over from the harem...

Chapter 409

After continuing to walk in the vast desert for a long time, Gu Changan did not find a way to leave.

Now he even began to wonder if the draft clue map of leaving was fake, but it was just drawn by the woman to trick himself.

But Gu Changan can still see that the year cannot be faked, with his eyesight.

This made him have to think of the previous guess again.

Perhaps no one who came to this world can leave.

He couldn't produce evidence, he only knew that the outside world had never heard of such a thing as Huiling Pill.

Not even a single analogue.

Gu Changan walked for an unknown amount of time, and the sun in the sky remained unchanged from its original position from the very beginning, and there was no orbit of rising in the east and setting in the west.

This made him lose his bearings for a while.

In the unchanging thousands of miles of desert, there are no landmark buildings to help him identify the direction.

And the sun in the sky, apart from squeezing the water in his body and making his journey more difficult, has no other effect.

"Forget it... let's take a break."

Gu Changan, who really couldn't see any hope, randomly found a small sand dune backside that could shade a little sunlight, and sat down.

And the magic of this desert is that even though the sun in the sky is so hot, the temperature emitted can even distort the void, but the sand grains on the ground are always cold.

Could it be that I have walked into an illusion...

Gu Changan couldn't help thinking.

But using the white flood dragon eyes to look around, there is still no change.

In desperation, Gu Changan continued his departure after resting for a while.

He walked for a long time, and he saw a purple flower blooming in this plain desert.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.Gu Changan, who firmly believed in this principle, did not choose to pass by that purple flower, but chose to go around it.

But the strange thing is that after he chose to go around and walked for dozens of miles, he still met a purple flower.

"Special code...I'm not lost, am I?!"

"But I have traveled all the way for so long before, and I have never encountered any purple flowers. Could this really be an illusion?"
