Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 323 322. The Most Suffering
For the first time, the extravagance and desire of this era are shown in the eyes of a traveler who came from later generations.

The shock brought by Xue Rulong's words made Li Zhen understand for the first time... what an emperor can enjoy in this world.

Whether it was the Pegasus City, or the luxury of the "Four Seasons Yokan" that Mr. Huqiu ate at the banquet before, for him, it was considered an enjoyment including acceptance.

Among other things, the people of future generations use SF Express every day, and let people fly to their homes to deliver fresh fruits and meat...

And those so-called big yellow croakers that die when they leave the water.

Isn't this more extravagant than the emperor?
We transport things by plane.

However, when these ships were put in front of Li Zhen, he finally understood...why so many people want to be emperor.

Really are……

Cow batch!

Although vulgar, there is no more appropriate adjective than "Niubi" to set off Li Zhen's mood.

What are the dead?
What is a craftsman?
For the Emperor's enjoyment...

As long as you can be an emperor, you can enjoy all this.

The ambitions of careerists have found the best fuel from the emperor.

Is not it?
The silent Taoist and the silent warrior just looked at those ships.

Looking at the civil and military officials wearing them, looking at the fluttering white clothes...

in silence.

At some point, Li Zhen heard Yang Guang's confession just now:

"Since I ascended the throne, I have respected the teachings of my ancestors, sympathized with the sufferings of the people, cured the five qi, performed the five arts, comforted the people, traveled all over the world, and lived peacefully in the mountains..."

To sympathize with the sufferings of the people?

You are outrageous!

The blood became hot again.

But he was forced to cool down by the Taoist again.

Looking around...he suddenly said:

"General Xue, do you want to drink?"

Xue Rulong was taken aback.

But when his eyes fell on the Taoist's eyes, what he saw were spots of red blood.

From the streak of blood, he saw a suppressed anger.

Anger is suppressed.

suppressed.

Little by little, it turned into compassion and pain.

Taoists do not suffer themselves.

He understands.

Just like what he thought in his heart.

At this moment, even the sympathy in his heart turned into killing intent.

From this, it can be imagined that although I am not very proud of myself in other aspects, I have to admit what kind of misery is in the heart of the "conscience" Taoist on the other side.

So, he thought about it and sighed:

"Hey. Let's go. When I came here, I saw some shops opening their stalls here."

After speaking, he took another look at the boats, and after confirming that the adults had not appeared on the ship's side, he took Li Zhen and left together.

Sideshows are also good.

Lively worth mentioning.

Can't resist the anguish in my heart at this moment.

Others are watching the fun.

Reward yourself for your hard work for a busy year, and enjoy this leisure and celebration.

Mediocrity is not bitter.

The bitter ones are those who like to think too much.

The more you think about it.

The more you look at it, the more you understand.

The more you understand... this world...

bitter.

Xing, the people suffer.

death, all living beings suffer.

……

The time at this moment, according to later generations, is already past ten o'clock in the morning and almost eleven o'clock.

Although this year is Chinese New Year, you can be a bastard if you have money.

While watching the excitement, you can also make money.

This kind of life is rare.

Therefore, there are quite a few people from Luoyang City who come here to set up stalls today.

There are also many people who come to eat and drink.

Many people came when Yang Guang was praying for the country.

Her body was also covered in gold powder, and she looked beaming when she walked, thinking that she would definitely make a fortune in the coming year.

It doesn't matter if the drinks are more expensive than usual.

As long as it's not outrageous.

I came out early in the morning, and I was hungry. I really couldn't wait for the banquet given by His Majesty in the afternoon, so I took a bite first.

Many people think this way.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of people eating and drinking at the roadside stalls.

In front of a square table in the corner of a booth.

Li Zhen and Xue Rulong sat next to each other.

In the corner of the two of them was a plate of mutton slices scalded with hot soup.

The fat that was originally chubby and crystal clear has now turned white due to the temperature.

But no one moved chopsticks.

It's just a wine glass for each person, drinking water wine that hasn't even been scalded.

Holding the cold drink, Li Laodao extinguished the fire in his heart one mouthful after another.

Xue Rulong also drank in silence.

Preoccupied.

There are two other guests at this table.

Combining tables.

It seems that the family is well-off, and they wear new clothes for the New Year.

The material is not bad, at least better than the coarse cloth on Li Zhen.

The two sons and brothers are holding a bowl of hot soup cakes, which looks like the live version of eating and broadcasting.

"Squeaky."

Li Zhen threw a few fried beans into his mouth.

Fried beans are fried with a large pot of salt.Salt is expensive on weekdays, so I must be reluctant to throw it away.God knows how to fry hundreds of catties of beans over and over again with a pot of salt.So every time he eats it, he can always taste a bitter taste.

But today, the shopkeeper should have replaced the salt, and it tastes delicious.

The two sons on the opposite side left after eating.

They didn't even respond to the two who were drinking in silence.

And after the people left, the first group of people at noon was almost done.

There shouldn't be many people at noon.

Otherwise, wouldn't the free buffet in the afternoon be a loss?
After the two left, Li Zhen thought about it and found an excuse:
"General Xue."

"Ok?"

"……Happy New Year."

"Uh……"

Some unique blessings were heard in Xue Rulong's ears, and he nodded as he looked at the cup that the Taoist priest held up:
"Let's have fun, have fun."

The two glasses touched, and Xue Rulong was about to drink up.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something.

"...A certain person will come as soon as he goes."

After finishing the drink and putting down the glass, under Li Zhen's curious eyes, the man had already got up and walked towards a gray-clothed man who was standing sideways.

Although the two of them didn't move much, Li Zhen discovered a detail.

That is, the gray-clothed man seemed to be chatting with Xue Rulong, as if he was acquainted.But in fact, his waist is a little bent.

It's like paying homage again.

After the two communicated for a while, Xue Rulong nodded and returned.

His brows were slowly wrinkled.

"what happened?"

Li Zhen asked.

Xue Rulong shook his head:
"Are you still drinking?"

"……what?"

Li Zhen was taken aback.

Seeing this, Xue Rulong took out a bunch of copper plates from his arms and put them in front of Li Zhen:
"I'll treat you to this drink. Let's go, don't you have something to ask the adults, let's go."

"...OK. Shopkeeper, check out."

……

The area where the dragon boat is located is guarded by the forbidden army.

No matter if it's a showman or a person who comes here to hang out, they can't get close.

But there is always something special.

After Xue Rulong led Li Zhen out of the crowd and came to this martial law area, several forbidden soldiers immediately looked over.

He didn't panic, and directly took out a jade waist card from his arms.

Li Zhen could only see clearly that it was a beast face with big eyes, but he didn't recognize what it was.

The jade belt was thrown directly to one of the guards, and Xue Rulong said calmly:
"I have something important to tell the servant, and please pass it on."

After looking down at the waist card, the forbidden army immediately understood the meaning behind this waist card.

Nodding, pointing to the side:
"Wait."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and quickly ran behind.

There were several eunuchs waiting there, and the imperial guards handed the badge to one of the eunuchs and said something, pointing to Xue Rulong.

After several eunuchs looked up, they didn't say much, but one of them walked towards the biggest dragon boat.Then, when he arrived at the place, someone on the dragon boat extended a plank, and the eunuch stepped on the boat and disappeared.

……

The sound of bells and tripods is grand and quiet.

In the middle of the deck, a group of white-clothed dancers danced unrestrainedly and professionally.

The musicians next to him played along with the song.

Peacefulness.

Some of the ministers sitting on the deck chatted with each other, while others turned their heads to look at the hard-working jugglers on both sides of the strait.

Some elderly ministers simply sat at the table and dozed off.

It's easy to be like this when people are old and mentally weak.

There's nothing to be rude about.

Without looking at Yang Guang, he held his great-great-grandson on his lap, dipped his chopsticks in the wine, and tapped the child's lips.

Seeing the child hissing and exhaling, he laughed heartily.

Although today is a formal banquet, there are no taboos.

Celebrate all day.

At this time, a eunuch appeared on the deck.

After whispering a few words to the eunuch on duty, he handed over the sign.

Standing beside Yang Guang, Huang Xizi, who was standing bowed, saw the actions of his sons, and when he saw the jade tablet in the eunuch's hand, his eyes turned to sitting alone at the table. On Li Shilang who pours and drinks himself.

The eunuch walked towards Li Shilang holding the jade card, and after whispering a few words, Li Shilang took the jade card, got up and walked towards the dragon chair.

Seeing this, Huang Xizi glanced at Yang Guang who was still teasing his great-great-great-grandson, and after confirming that His Majesty did not intend to summon him, he walked down the steps directly.

Master Fox Fur bowed:

"Superintendent."

"Is there something wrong with Li Shilang?"

Huang Xizi asked with a smile.

Then, Master Huqiu moved closer.

Huang Xizi understood and turned her head away.

After whispering a few times, Master Huqiu cupped his hands and left the banquet scene.

And Huang Xizi bowed and walked quickly to Yang Guang's side:

"His Majesty."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

The slightly reddened Sui Emperor showed curiosity.

I heard Huang Xizi say in a gentle voice:
"Your Majesty, the Baiqi Division has just received news that a Renxian appeared in Yingchuan County a day ago. Li Shilang got off the boat to ask for confirmation."

"Oh?"

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of impatience on his face:
"Is there any news from Huaji?... Yingchuan? With his footsteps, I think he can come back today?"

Hearing this, Huang Xizi repeatedly said:

"Yes, Immortals certainly don't want to miss His Majesty's celebration. It's just that I don't know what auspiciousness they brought back this time. I think His Majesty will definitely like it."

"Hahahaha~"

Yang Guang laughed loudly, put down the great-great-grandson in his arms, and walked out directly from the bead curtain.

Looking around, Yique mountains and rivers are all in sight.

He nodded:

"Well, good, good to be back. Good~ hahahaha~"
