"Ahem, don't be nervous, it's me."
A young man with an unfamiliar face appeared outside the cave.
Although this young man is a man, he looks like a woman. His round and bright almond eyes make a deep impression. His facial features are more profound than those of ordinary people, and at first glance, he has a bit of foreign charm.
Anyone who sees him will say, "What a handsome young man."
The boy had no idea that he was caught. He walked into the cave with a smile and waved to Chu Yao who was beside the young man.
He called out loudly: "Wuhui!"
Chu Yao's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still said helplessly: "How can Wu Lang put himself in danger? Qi Yuanliang doesn't even keep an eye on him. It's true that we can't rely on him..."
Shen Tang held up the hem of his clothes and walked forward with small steps, smiling.
"We really can't blame him for this." Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing with his own eyes that Chu Yao was just a little depressed and had bruises on his body, but was generally in good condition. A smile truly stretched out on his face, and he even smiled and said a good word for Qi Shan.
Chu Yao said: "Don't you blame him but Wu Lang?"
Shen Tang choked and said, "You blame me. Xiaofang and the others told me that you and Banbu were missing, and I was worried. I followed the direction pointed by Zhai Yuewen and came here. Maybe it was God's will. I had a feeling that you were here!"
She seemed to be taking credit: "I found it in one go!"
No matter how reserved Chu Yao was, his face turned slightly red after hearing what Shen Tang said.
What is God's will
In order to get Wen Xin back, he mortgaged his life to Shen Tang. Because of this bond, Wu Lang could know his location as long as he wanted. Chu Yao thought Wu Lang was a little slick, and after thinking for a while, he realized that this must have been led astray by Qi Yuanliang.
I silently made a note of Qishan in my heart.
Seeing that Shen Tang knew Chu Yao, the young man's tense nerves relaxed, but at the same time he also had a new question - he had set up a maze outside, which, although not very lethal, could trap people invisibly.
How did this young man get so close without anyone noticing
"Wuhui, who is this gentleman?"
Although Shen Tang was delighted, he did not ignore the unfamiliar young man.
Chu Yao replied seriously: "This is Yao's savior."
Shen Tang quickly bowed to the young man.
With Chu Yao's ability, he was able to make him say this, which showed that the young man really played a big role. She should thank him solemnly, and the young man accepted it generously. Shen Tang said: "My surname is Shen, my name is Tang, and my courtesy name is Youli. What is your name, sir?"
You still need to find out the name of your savior.
So that I can repay you in the future.
Looking at the young but methodical Shen Tang, the young man replied, "I am a country boy, my surname is Kang, my given name is Shi, and my courtesy name is Jishou."
Shen Tang called him, "Mr. Kang."
Kang Shi said: "I have some doubts, can Mr. Shen explain them to me?"
"Mr. Kang, you can ask as much as you want."
"Kang set up a maze outside, and he thought he had some skills. How did Mr. Shen break the maze so quietly?"
Shen Tang was stunned by the question.
"Maze? What maze?"
Seeing that her expression was not fake, Kang Shi also felt a little puzzled: "Mr. Shen didn't notice the maze outside the cave?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "I don't know..."
Before Kang Shi could ask again, a male voice that sounded both angry and amused came from outside the cave: "I solved the maze, so naturally Shen Lang doesn't know."
Shen Tang stretched his neck and looked outside the cave.
"Why is Mr. Gu here too?"
The person who came was Gu Chi.
Gu Chi's smile was somewhat unfriendly.
It’s not his fault. Which normal person can compete in endurance with a Husky that is full of energy and runs wildly
He hurried over but could only look at Shen Tang's back, feeling extremely angry and unhappy.
What made him even more upset was that Shen Tang didn't even notice that he was following him like that, and his complete attention was on Chu Yao.
Tsk—
"Shen Lang rushed forward without a care in the world. Aren't you afraid of running into the rebels and getting yourself killed? I followed you just in case." Gu Chi finished speaking, and then added, "If you lose it in my hands, will Qi Yuanliang let me go?"
Definitely not!
The moment Gu Chi appeared, Kang Shi noticed him.
He performed the same ceremony as Kang Shi.
Kang Shi also returned the greeting.
My heart became lively and I thought to myself, "How strange."
Isn't it strange
A Chu Yao, a second-grade upper-level Chinese.
A Gu Chi, who could pass through the maze he set up without anyone noticing - even if he didn't spend much time on setting up the maze, ordinary scholars would be overwhelmed if they encountered it - and Gu Chi could not only come and go freely, but also help Shen Tang.
Literary men of this caliber are rare.
And he met two of them overnight.
She also has a close relationship with the same young man.
Ehmm—
He couldn't help but be curious again.
Gu Chi listened to Kang Shi's thoughts without making any expression. He lowered his eyelids and suppressed the fleeting thought in his eyes.
Several people sat down in the not-so-spacious cave.
Gu Chi took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I heard you two talking about Tianhai Wuxian and Shangnan Guren. Is Mr. Kang not very satisfied with them?"
Kang Shi said bluntly: "Not satisfied."
Gu Chi started chatting with him: "I have thought of a good candidate - this person is from Lingzhou Yiru, his surname is Zhang, his name is He, and his courtesy name is Yongqing. He is very famous in Lingzhou and is deeply loved by the people. What do you think of him, Mr. Kang?"
Kang Shi said without thinking: "Him? No way either."
Gu Chi asked again: "Why not?"
Zhang Yongqing has a decisive and efficient character. He is definitely not easily influenced by others and has no habit of making sworn brothers. It is not the case that "a dozen sisters-in-law come to greet him as soon as he enters the door". He has been rooted in Lingzhou for many years.
Now, if you raise your arms and call, countless people will follow you...
Regardless, he's a good candidate.
He actually wanted to hear what Kang Shi had to say.
Unexpectedly, Kang Shi said, "This person's appearance is not pleasing to the eye."
Gu Chi: “???”
Chu Yao: “???”
Shen Tang: “???”
Does this still depend on appearance
Of course it is necessary, at least here in Kangshi.
He had two major hobbies in his life.
The first is gambling, the second is looking at beautiful women.
Gu Chi had met Zhang Yongqing before. He was not ugly, but he was not good-looking. Apart from his good temperament, his appearance was just like that of an ordinary person. As for Zhang He's ability, in Kang Shi's opinion, he was too short to be tall.
The conditions are not so good that I have to make do with them.
Naturally I wouldn't consider it.
The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched slightly: "Can it still be... like this?"
Kang Shi smiled and said, "Of course I can. After all, it is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it is better to have nothing than to have something bad. Choosing a master is like a man and a woman's marriage. Instead of finding someone who doesn't suit your heart and making do with him, why can't you wait a little longer and find someone who satisfies you in every way?"
It’s not like he can’t wait.
If you really can't wait, just live in seclusion. There's no need to risk your life.
Shen Tang: “…”
It sounds like it makes sense.
There were too many wounded, so it was not suitable to travel in the dark. Everyone could only wait for dawn in the valley. With Shen Tang and Gu Chi joining in, Chu Yao was no longer worried. He relaxed a little and fell asleep. Gu Chi took the initiative to take over the night watch, and Shen Tang was bored and dazed.
At this moment, she heard the crisp sound of dice colliding with each other from Kang Shi who had stood up, and looked over curiously.
Kang Shi noticed her gaze.
He thought Shen Tang didn't know what this was.
He said mysteriously, "Good baby."
Shen Tang asked: "Baby?"
Kang Shi: "Yes, I always carry it with me to satisfy my cravings."
Shen Tang was puzzled: "To satisfy your craving?"
Use dice to satisfy your craving
At this time, she had not yet realized that Kang Shi was still a "gambling enthusiast". After all, in her impression, literati were all gentle and restrained, and they looked down on such an unorthodox thing as gambling.
She really couldn't imagine that a scholar would bare his sleeves, stand on a stool, swing his arms to throw dice, and shout at the gambling table with a red face. It really undermined the high-class character of the scholar.
Kang Shi took off the exquisite canning accessories from his waist.
The accessory was opened, and three exquisite dice carved from translucent white jade were poured out, which stunned Shen Tang.
Ah this—
That accessory is an exquisite gambling tool!
Kang Shi saw Shen Tang's funny expression and thought of showing off his gambling skills: "Mr. Shen, do you want to play a few rounds?"
The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: "How do we play this?"
She felt like there seemed to be a crack in her literary filter.
Kang Shi: "The simplest one is to bet on the size. You and I will roll the dice once, and add up the points on the three dice to see who has the bigger number and who has the smaller number."
Speaking of this, Kang Shi also had tears to shed.
His gambling skills are perfect.
But it is that damned way of scholars.
Even if the opponent only shows four points, his next roll will either result in the dice being lost or broken, or only three points being shown.
In short, every time you gamble, you lose.
This is outrageous.
No matter how Kang Shi improved his gambling skills or changed his gambling method, he would always lose, whether playing cards or rolling dice...
Perform stably.
