Chapter 1122: The Name in the Jianghu [Red Dust Immortal]
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang turned her head and lowered it, trying not to laugh. She had already seen that there was some misunderstanding here.
Instead, Su Changan looked at the scholar in front of him and said, "You just called me sir, why are you suddenly calling me girl?"
Su Changan pointed at himself again.
What is it?
I was a gentleman, so I continued to be a gentleman. But now I am a lady. Is gender something you can joke about? It's such a big deal!
When the scholar heard this, he looked at the man in front of him who looked a little anxious and was a little surprised.
It turns out that she is a girl, not a boy.
In fact, I thought Su Changan was a girl at first. After all, he was wearing women's clothes and had a slender figure. It was hard to imagine that he was a man.
But when the scholar looked over here just now, he happened to see a corner of the veil of this "girl" slightly exposed, which allowed the scholar to see Su Changan's beard.
Of course I suddenly realized it.
Although he was not from the capital, but came to the capital to take the imperial examination, he knew that there were men in the world who liked women's makeup, especially in the capital, because many men also liked Lin Daiyu and wanted to be Lin Daiyu.
On the contrary, there are also many women who like to stick on beards and dress up as men. It seems that this has always existed, but because the Queen and His Majesty like to dress up in disguise, women dressing up as men has become particularly popular.
But this one in front of me.
The scholar was a little dazed, but now seeing Su Changan speaking like this, the scholar pursed his lips, knowing that he had misjudged, and fearing that he had offended someone, he quickly bowed to Su Changan: "Miss, please forgive me, I am short-sighted, and I just accidentally saw that you had a beard, so I made a mistake, please forgive me."
When speaking, the scholar deliberately lowered his voice, mainly to avoid being heard by others.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang could both hear what this person was intending.
However, Xia Fengxiang only had Su Changan in his eyes. He was holding back his laughter and had already thought about how he would laugh when he returned.
Su Changan looked at the scholar, thought for a moment, and asked seriously, "You mean, you think I'm a man just because you see my beard?"
But when the scholar heard this, he was a little confused. Why did you ask that? But he could only think and bowed again: "Please forgive me, young lady. I am short-sighted and think that way."
If you get close, readers can smell the faint fragrance of apricot blossoms.
But just after she finished speaking, she looked up at the person in front of her, only to see that she had gently lifted her veil, revealing only the face below her eyes.
But the scholar still looked stunned.
Under the white gauze, her nose, as delicate as jade, is the best nose any scholar has ever seen. Her lips are as bright as fresh flowers just blooming. The outline of her jawline is like porcelain with meticulous brushwork, and her skin is as dazzling as fresh snow.
Even though he had a beard under his nose and on his chin.
But at a glance you can tell it was put there by a woman.
The scholar did not dare to look any further, and immediately stepped back and bowed: "My eyesight is poor, and I mistook the girl for a man, please forgive me."
Su Changan, who hadn't spoken yet, stood there in a daze, "Didn't you just say that you knew I was a man because of my beard? Can't you tell that?"
The scholar bowed.
Xia Fengxiang couldn't help it after all, and while giggling, he pulled Su Changan and asked him to sit on the chair.
Yan Ruyu and others at the table beside him also looked at Su Changan.
The cat said, "She is hopeless, let's eat ours."
The excitement that Su Changan had just felt disappeared now. She just put down her veil and looked at the scholar in front of her, feeling very unhappy!
After Xia Fengxiang gently hit Su Changan, he looked at the scholar with a smile and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"
The scholar raised his eyes and said, "It's like this. We are students from Liuzhou who are participating in this special examination. We heard about what happened here today. It seems that you are from the martial arts world, so we want to ask the Queen what the three-level heart demon bureau means. Also, when the Queen was in Liuzhou before, I heard that you were already a leader of Yan University, but you have never seen such a person in the world."
Not everyone knows what the Shuyalou list looks like.
There are many people who turn a deaf ear to what is happening in the world and only focus on their studies.
Even the common people in this market may not know about it.
But before Xia Fengxiang could speak.
Su Changan, who was petty, looked at the scholar and asked, "Are we like people from the underworld?"
"That's right." Ku Yue swallowed a big mouthful of mutton and sesame paste, and then agreed.
The scholar was stunned for a moment, then looked towards Ku Yue.
Su Changan turned around.
Only then did I see that Kuyue had hidden a kitchen knife behind her clothes at some point!
Xia Fengxiang also looked at Ku Yue in confusion.
Ku Yue was about to pick up some meat, but when she saw the young couple looking at her, she took out a kitchen knife and put it on the table: "I just asked for it outside. I thought if that old man Mi dared to come up, I would chop him with one knife. He is so bold and dared to make trouble."
Su Changan had no choice but to reach out and move the knife blade to face himself instead of Xia Fengxiang and Da Mengzi.
What kind of people are these people practicing swordsmanship!
However, Su Changan turned back to look at the scholars, and then glanced at the scholars who were looking at them, and said casually: "It's just like that, it was blown up, otherwise why is there no name on the list?"
The scholar couldn't help but frown, looked at Su Changan and said: "Miss, although I just offended you, please show respect when you mention the queen."
Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan, his eyes seemed to say, "Did you hear me? Speak about yourself with respect."
But it’s also this time.
There was an uproar in the store, and everyone looked at the storyteller on the stage.
I only heard the storyteller say in a loud voice: "The Mobei army is waiting for the queen to go out! How could the queen not know? But the queen still went out alone, and behind her, thousands of Mobei soldiers followed closely and vowed to kill the queen, and the queen was also slashed by the Mobei high priest. But as soon as the queen went out, our army immediately launched an attack. The queen is using herself as bait!"
Hearing this, Wu Daming raised his eyes and looked towards Su Changan's shoulder.
She listened very carefully.
The scholar looked at the storyteller and couldn't help but say, "If you understand it this way, doesn't that mean that the queen made sacrifices for Daxia? I heard before that the queen came back this time because she was seriously injured. If her strength has declined so much, so she was taken off the list, then Shuya Tower is not just a name for nothing!? There is no moral integrity at all?"
Su Changan was puzzled for a moment and frowned at the scholar in front of him.
But just as Su Changan was about to say something, he saw his disciple Da Mengzi looking at him with a sad face.
And Ku Yue over there also frowned and looked at herself with a look of self-blame.
What are your expressions?
So he looked at the scholar and said, "Perhaps, the queen simply has not been able to beat that Aleya."
The scholar shook his head: "How could Your Majesty be unable to defeat the barbarian? Moreover, if you had not defeated him, why didn't the barbarian kill Your Majesty? It must be because Your Majesty had a sense of justice that she was severely injured."
Kuyue nodded: "Yes."
Oh my god!
I just couldn't beat Aleya at that time!
Su Changan turned around and glared at Kuyue.
"Maybe that Aleya has taken a fancy to the queen." Xia Fengxiang also came to join in the fun.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang.
But Xia Fengxiang had a serious expression on his face.
The scholar frowned: "How dare a mere barbarian covet the queen?!"
Xia Fengxiang said: "Your Highness is so beautiful. When I saw you for the first time, I was stunned."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, "Are you stunned by my beauty?" You were shocked when you saw me steal a few large naan, three chickens and half a pound of mutton and eat them all by myself?
The scholar looked at Xia Fengxiang in surprise: "Young Master, you have actually met the Empress? What a great blessing! Although we admire the poems and essays written by the Empress, and especially study the Preface to the Cloudy Pavilion and the Song of Everlasting Sorrow written by the Empress, we can't learn even a little bit, and can only admire her."
In his words, this man made no secret of his envy of Xia Fengxiang.
"One knife! Everyone! The queen suddenly woke up from her serious injury, and with one knife, the great wizard of Mobei was chopped to death by the queen. The queen fell from the sky and landed directly in the middle of the Mobei army. Those ignorant Mobei barbarians wanted to kill the queen, but the queen raised her hand and the Mobei general was cut in half on the spot! One person rushed to kill the enemy general, and there were more than one general, because the queen rushed to kill again and chopped off the head of Yuwen Baobao. Who was Yuwen Baobao? There were so many guards around him, but the queen did not look back."
Although what the storyteller said was almost correct, it still had some personal opinions.
When he got to this point, the storyteller turned around and looked at the huge scroll behind him: "Everyone, I know some of you don't believe that in such a big battle involving so many people, our queen was the one who got hurt the most. Now do you know why?"
When the scholar heard this, his face was solemn: "Although the artillery and muskets suppressed the army, the queen did what the army should do in close combat alone, how could she not get hurt."
But just as he finished speaking, another person stepped forward and said, "It's more than just being injured. Doesn't it show that the queen has no regrets?"
As he spoke, the scholar with a mole on the tip of his nose who looked like a person from the Western Regions bowed to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at the large scroll and nodded: "Well, he had this idea at the time, and he didn't care how many people were worried about him. The Queen is a little irresponsible."
Su Changan looked at his wife, what did you say?
Was I who I was at that time?
The scholar nodded.
Su Changan saw that, looking at this scholar with poor eyesight, this guy was also a genius. You believed everything he said when you met him for the first time?
The scholar continued, "All the way from Liuzhou to the capital, what we heard the most was how righteous the queen was. She risked her life for so many things and saved countless people. Now it is natural for the people and merchants along the way to pay homage to her."
After saying that, he looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, realizing that what he said was incomprehensible, so he said: "You two don't know, Liuzhou is a place that must be passed by on the trade route, so many people in the Western Regions who believe in fire worship worship the queen and your majesty as fire gods, and believe that the queen is the person who came from the fire god to save the suffering, but this also makes some other people think that the queen is one of the thousands of incarnations of the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves the suffering."
Xia Fengxiang said, "Your Majesty and His Majesty are very popular in Liuzhou?"
The scholar with a mole on the tip of his nose said, "More than that, the Queen's campaign to eliminate gangs and evil was implemented in Liuzhou after Lord Wen came back. Many gangs and evil forces were eliminated, and many corrupt officials were also found! And the Liu family, the Liu family that used the Queen's reputation to bully others, was also a gang, but they paid a lot of money, so they were not eliminated. But they couldn't stay in Liuzhou anymore, so they came to the capital, but they didn't expect that evil would be punished. In addition, Lord Wen also got the free medical officer that the Queen got in the capital in Liuzhou, and in the previous winter, cotton clothes were also distributed. Lord Wen said that it was all the blessing of the Queen and His Majesty. It's not just about hearing about the Queen, but the real things have reached the hands of the people."
Xia Fengxiang nodded. She must have known about these things. Not only Liuzhou, but several states near the capital had begun to implement the campaign to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil.
As for the money obtained, those that should be returned to the victims were returned according to clear accounts, and those that should be compensated were used for compensation. As for the rest, it was all used to make cotton clothes and food for the people, or to open medical clinics and private schools.
This is also what Su Changan thought.
Xia Fengxiang wanted to use these states as pilot projects. After all, some things need to be changed step by step.
Bang!
The storyteller pointed the fan in his hand at a place on the huge scroll, on which was written the name of the Grand Master of the End of Mobei.
"Everyone, the queen was surrounded by so many masters of the realm. I see that there are many people from the martial arts world among you. I think everyone knows the importance of these people. They are the ones who surrounded the queen, and those red-robed shamans whose names are unknown. These are all dozens of grandmasters of the realm. The queen had to face them alone, and at the same time, she had to face Aleya, the number one fighter in Mobei, and tens of thousands of troops in Mobei!"
When the storyteller said this.
The two scholars all looked at the storyteller with serious and solemn expressions.
Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and everyone else looked towards the stage.
But Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and whispered, "That's too much. And what is that scroll? A separate list?"
Xia Fengxiang ignored Su Changan and looked at the scroll with a smile: "It wasn't written by me, it was written by them."
At this time, a servant brought another scroll and hung it on the two large scrolls.
The storyteller supported the table with both hands and looked at everyone in the store: "You may want to ask, with such strength, why is the queen not on this list of the top ten people in the world? In fact, when I first saw this list, I was also surprised. I was even thinking in my heart, could it be that the queen was seriously injured after the battle and her strength has declined?"
As he spoke, the storyteller turned around and looked at the small scroll and said, "But I was wrong, because the list of winners in Shuya Tower, in addition to recording the battle of the Six Towns of Shuofang and the battle of Wuhekou, also contains many other things, including how Zhang Jue died, why we were able to prepare in advance before this battle, and which heroes sacrificed their lives for Daxia, from soldiers to grandmasters. You all wait for me to tell you all about these. However, right now, Your Majesty is not among these ten people, simply because Your Majesty is not an ordinary person."
As he spoke, the storyteller reached out and pulled the reel rope.
There were only a few words written on it.
[Red Dust Fairy] Su Chang'an, the Queen of Daxia.
