Chapter 334: Dead Air

It is not easy to figure out the situation in Xizhou, in Li Su's opinion, the atmosphere in the city of Xizhou is a little weird, and I always feel that the entire city is covered with a thin layer of black gauze, which looks very hazy and beautiful from a distance.

Li Su wanted to open it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept the smell, and he was even more afraid that after opening it, he didn't know how many ghosts and ghosts would emerge from it, and how much of a chain reaction it would cause.

Yesterday and Cao Yu had a very happy conversation, but the so-called "talk" between the two, in fact, there is not much dry goods in the content, in general, Cao Yu and Li Su are respectful to each other, as for how much sincerity is contained in this "mutual respect", only the two of them know in their hearts.

After leaving the city from the Assassin's Mansion, Li Su patiently waited in the camp outside the city for two days, and he was waiting for Cao Yu's arrangement.

Two days have passed, there has been no news of the Assassin's Mansion, as the newly appointed Xizhou Commander, Cao Yu did not arrange any position for him, and at this time, Li Su can basically determine how hypocritical Cao Yu's respect for him is like a guest.

A hairless young boy with a hairless mouth, anyone will look down on him, what if he earns a big reputation in Chang'an? This is Xizhou, not Chang'an, and Li Su is not Youlemei, Cao Yu is not interested in holding him in the palm of his hand and inserting a straw by the way......

It's an obvious signal, Cao Yu didn't intend to give him any power at all.

Xizhou is the Xizhou of Cao Thorn's history.

…………

Li Su is not in a hurry, in fact, until now, he doesn't know the real purpose of Li Shimin sending him to Xizhou as an official, since he hasn't figured it out, he is a newcomer, and he seems to be sorry for himself if he is not lazy.

So Li Su was lazy again, and he lazily collapsed in the camp every day, fighting with Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou. Discuss with Jiang Quan the experience of marching and arranging, or discuss the experience of doing business with the merchant Na Yan, and think about it carefully, in fact, life is quite fulfilling.

When he was alone in the tent, Li Su would take out a sheepskin map and look at the location of Xizhou on the map. There are also neighboring countries with red lines drawn one by one, gradually revealing a deep contemplative color.

Xu Mingzhu lived a very fulfilling life, Li Su really didn't understand why she could always find something to do, laundry and cook for him every day, and was busy cleaning up the handsome tent, obviously only hastily set up a tent outside the city, but she cleaned up the handsome tent more delicately than home.

On this day, Li Su spread out the map again and looked at the forks and circles on it in a daze. Xu Mingzhu opened the curtain and came in.

"Husband, your clothes and concubines have been washed, if your husband wants to bathe at night, the concubine will go and boil water for you now."

Li Su came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You don't have to work so hard, I already told Na Yan yesterday, let him pay attention to buy me a few clean and tasteless bearded girls to serve you and me, I guess there will be news in the next few days." Don't do these things in the future, and enjoy the blessings in peace. ”

Xu Mingzhu also smiled. Just the right amount of only four teeth to be exposed, gentle and moving.

"The concubine is also idle, the people below don't have to worry about doing things, and it's better for the husband to do the personal things of the concubine herself."

Li Su sighed, for this matter, he had persuaded Xu Mingzhu more than once. But she never refused to listen, and gradually, Li Su had no choice but to let it go.

After a moment of silence, Xu Mingzhu suddenly showed a curious look and said, "Husband." There is a problem with the concubine...... I've wanted to ask you for a long time. ”

"You ask." Li Su said with a pleasant face.

"We Datang people wear calf nose robes, but the husband wears this...... It's much looser than the calf's nose, is it created by the husband? ”

What a cute question, Li Su smiled more and more kindly: "Yes, I call it **, it is looser than the calf nose loin, it is more comfortable to wear, and it is ventilated up and down, what a pleasure." ”

"The concubine washed her husband's '**' today, and found that it was covered with sticky and slippery things, what is that?" Xu Mingzhu blinked, her expression was both innocent and innocent.

"Cough cough cough ......" Li Su suddenly coughed, coughing heartbreakingly, and Jun's face was flushed.

Two slender fingers lightly touched his sleeve, and Xu Mingzhu stared at him with a strong desire for knowledge: "Husband, what is that?" A few days ago, I washed my husband**, and I haven't seen anything sticky and slippery on it......"

Hate seamlessly, no place to shame.

"Ahem, I told you before, I can wash the underwear myself, you ......" Li Su stomped his feet sadly and angrily: "You are too hardworking!" That's not good! ”

"Oh......" Xu Mingzhu pouted, responded aggrievedly, and then asked reluctantly: "Husband, you haven't told me yet, that thing...... What exactly is it? ”

In addition to being too industrious, this girl is also very studious, and her curiosity is outrageous.

However, how should Li Su explain to her what is the sticky and slippery thing on the **?

"Oops, I'm hungry!"

This is Li Su's answer.

Xu Mingzhu was startled, glanced at the sky outside the tent, and hurriedly said: "The concubine will make food for her husband......

After speaking, Xu Mingzhu slipped out of the smoke, and as for the sticky and slippery question, she immediately left it behind and forgot about it.

Inside the handsome tent, Li Su sighed gloomily.

I'm seventeen years old this year, and the seventeen-year-old man who is developing is the age of Yang Sheng's essence, and occasionally dreams back at midnight, ** Isn't it normal to have a little more sticky and slippery stuff on it?

Other powerful people play with women at this age, their legs are weak, and their eyes are blue, and Li Su, a dignified county son and a four-grade driver, still has this thing left, it's really ...... It's a shame for the Tang magnates.

****************************************************************

The city of Xizhou is still lifeless.

It seems that every city has two cities, East and West, and Xizhou is no exception. It's just that the east and west cities of Xizhou are deserted, whether it is a merchant or a common people, they all droop their faces, and they are not able to greet business, and the caravans passing through Xizhou are even more simple, after entering the city to replenish food and water, they do not stay for a moment, and set off immediately, and would rather sleep outside the city in tents at night than in the pavilion in the city.

In the summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the summer in the desert is even more so, Li Su wore a light silk shirt, walked on the streets of Xizhou under the scorching sun, and soon was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

In contrast, Na Yan walking next to him was much more relaxed, perhaps he had long been accustomed to the weather in the desert, and at this moment, Na Yan had a relaxed face, not a drop of sweat on his face that was not white, and he walked beside Li Su with a smile on his face, which was better than a leisurely stroll.

"That brother......" Li Su gasped.

Na Yan's face darkened, and he sighed: "Li Don't drive, villain again, I don't have a surname that, Li Don't call me by my full name, just please don't call me 'that brother' again......"

"Okay, brother, there's something you can help me with."

Na Yan sighed in frustration and said weakly: "Li Beijia even if he orders, the villain will definitely do his best." ”

"That brother has traveled from south to north, and the door is wide, and I want to build a house by myself in the city, huh...... The house should be big and spacious, with a rockery, a garden, a front and back yard, and a pond...... It's just that Xizhou is located in the desert, and a lot of masonry materials are difficult to get together for a while, so I asked the brother to help me with one or two. ”

Na Yan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Xizhou was a famous oasis in the desert before it was built, and Banchao of the Han Dynasty built a city because of this oasis, and there are only three wells in the city so far, and you still need a pond in your house, this ......"

"I don't want the pond, I want everything else." Li Su said happily, he is a very easy-going person, and he has always been.

Na Yan nodded: "Although it is a little troublesome to transport the brick and stone materials, if the price is sufficient, it is not difficult to transport them, as for the craftsmen who build houses, there are also many craftsmen in the city, who spend money to hire more than a dozen, and then invite more than 100 people, this matter is prepared." ”

As soon as money was mentioned, Li Suxin twitched, and there were two words of "money" in his words, and then linked to the heroic and generous shot in the past, so Li Su looked at him with burning eyes, hoping to burst out of his big furry mouth with a sentence "I gave the money, and I will help you build the house", Li Su must not have said a word and dragged him to cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper to worship the brothers.

After all, building a house with a rockery, a garden, and a front and back yard is really not a decimal, it is much more expensive than the gems that Na Yan gave him before, this sentence really can't open his mouth, and the loss is great.

Li Su waited for a long time, and the more he waited, the more disappointed he became, and finally sighed very gloomily.

This man...... If you don't pay attention to it, your brother can't do it.

"That brother, I have a very strange question, your caravan is full of goods from Chang'an, and it is supposed to return to Qiuci, but why are you staying in Xizhou these days?"

Na Yan showed an unnatural expression, coughed twice, and said: "The merchant will seek profit, and he has goods in his hand, but in fact, he can sell them anywhere......"

"But you have also seen the appearance of Xizhou, such a deserted market, who do you think will buy your goods?"

Na Yan smiled: "It's just a matter of waiting for a few more days, if there is no business in a few days, the villain will continue to travel west back to Qiuzi." ”

The two of them walked as they talked, and soon passed through the East Market, and after leaving the market, the streets became more and more deserted, except for the crowds of soldiers patrolling the city, there were only some scattered people who were busy with their own work with sad faces, and occasionally heard a few cries of women or children, and then they were slapped by a man and died.

Li Su's footsteps also became slower and slower, and he simply stopped at the end.

He didn't know what to do, and he also stopped, looking at him suspiciously.

Looking at the dilapidated and deserted street, Li Su said thoughtfully: "That brother, you said that a good city is, how can it be like this?" Could it be that I don't have enough experience to see and experience, and the cities under the world are all lifeless except for Chang'an? ”
