Chapter 1634 Young General
Without saying a word to the girl, the man poured water and said,
"Do you have any way to make money?"
Xia Fuyi: ...
She blinked, suddenly looked at the sword in her hand, and said,
"I can go and perform. I can dance with a sword."
The tea he just drank was almost spit out. Li Chi coughed twice and finally swallowed the tea. He looked up at the girl with a smile.
If Taixu knew that his young disciple had to make a living by performing sword dance, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin.
.
When the waiter started serving the dishes, Lian Tang came down from upstairs.
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the side.
"What are you talking about! What do you mean Chiwei is only saved by the Regent? You just don't know how powerful our emperor is!"
The voice was so loud that it instantly suppressed most of the noise in the inn.
Xia Fuyi turned her head and saw a big bearded man staring at the person opposite him with wide eyes. There was a sword next to him. There were other people dressed similarly at other tables. They looked like courier men.
Opposite him was a foreign merchant wearing a face scarf. Small merchants doing business in border towns are always bolder. He slammed the table and said in a dialect without fear,
"I've been in Chiwei for four years, and I haven't heard of any achievements made by that emperor. For the past four years, hasn't the regent been in charge of court affairs? Natural disasters and man-made disasters have always been the responsibility of the regent. Why doesn't Chiwei rely on the regent?"
"You came at an unfortunate time,"
The big man sneered,
"If you had come a year earlier, you would have known what kind of person our Chiwei Emperor is. No matter how well Zhangsun Qingzhao manages this country, it was our Emperor who conquered it."
The man in black poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xia Fuyi. Xia Fuyi raised her hand and drank it, but her ears and eyes were still fixed on the excitement over there.
The big man glanced at the hall and asked with a sneer,
"Have you ever heard of the story of the sword that sealed the frontier?"
"I know!"
There were many veterans sitting in the lobby, who immediately answered loudly after hearing this.
"That was the year the Emperor first ascended the throne. Taking advantage of the previous Emperor's death and the chaos in Chiwei, Gumo allied with the entire Wuxu clan and attempted to invade our northern border. Because the attack was unexpected, we were defeated in sixteen cities in a row. The people of three entire cities were massacred by the Wuxu people. However, at that time, both the Emperor and Empress had passed away, and the generals were all old. There was no one capable of leading the army into battle."
The attention of almost all the guests in the lobby was attracted by the storyteller's ups and downs. Even the shopkeeper was sitting at the counter, propping up his cheek and listening with great interest.
But Xia Fuyi turned her head and glanced at the man in front of her, but he was eating slowly, and what he said didn't seem to appeal to him at all.
Noticing her gaze, Li Chi raised his head slightly and gave her a questioning look. Although it meant "what's wrong?", his light-colored eyes still looked very cold.
Xia Fuyi withdrew her gaze and focused on listening to the story.
"Guess what?"
The storyteller-like guest just reached the climax of the story. He stood up with his eyes wide open and almost started dancing.
"As the army approached and the seventeenth city on the Chiwei border was about to be breached, our emperor, who had just completed his coronation ceremony the day before, donned his battle robes and led an army of 200,000 men to the battle! At that time, our emperor was only sixteen years old, but he was a true young general!"
