Chapter 41 A bad start

Du Yu showed his feelings by spraying Zhao Ji wildly.

Xu Guan understood clearly in his heart, and secretly he couldn't help but admire the courage of the person in front of him. He might be someone like Chen Sheng or Zhang Jiao in the future.

Why does the other party want me to analyze the situation? Is it sincerely asking for advice or does it want to drag me into trouble, or is it both?

After pondering for a moment, Xu Guanzhong said: "Brother Shi, isn't he very clear about the situation in the world? Let me say that although the world is a little turbulent due to the Six Thieves, and there are a few more people falling into the grass, the country of the Song Dynasty is still stable. I'm afraid Brother Shi has something on his mind.

It’s just a fantasy.”

"Sir, can you explain it more clearly?" Du Yu asked.

"Brother Shi, the imperial court has 800,000 forbidden troops and hundreds of thousands of the most powerful Western troops. These are not ordinary forces that can compete with them." Xu Guanzhong said.

"A huge disparity in strength does not necessarily mean that success cannot be achieved. Sir, you know that a single spark can start a prairie fire. When I was a child, I heard a few stories. There was a monk who only had a broken bowl at the beginning, but he built a splendid country for three hundred years..." Du Yu said.

"Could Brother Shi be joking? Guanzhong has been studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child. He dare not say that he is knowledgeable about the world, but how can he be ignorant of such great achievements?" Xu Guanzhong said.

"If you are interested, sir, how about I leave the book recording this matter for you to read?" Du Yu said.

Xu Guanzhong said: "Okay, then I will meet some strange people and strange things."

"Don't be anxious. I believe that the purpose of asking for this meeting cannot be hidden from sir. I dare to ask, sir, if sir is willing to create a great cause with me?" Du Yu asked.

In fact, this guy knows in his heart that asking someone like Xu Guanzhong is unlikely to succeed in one attempt, so he should leave a deep impression on him. Once the situation changes, there may be a turn for the better.

"Brother Shi, I'm just a wandering crane. I've already made up my mind not to care about worldly affairs, so why bother focusing on me? Besides, my mother is already old, so why should she be so worried? Let's forget it." Xu Guanzhong said.

Du Yu smiled slightly and was not angry, and said: "It's not surprising that Mr. Shaohua Mountain has concerns. After all, Shaohua Mountain is not very powerful now, and it is not much different from ordinary mountain villages. Moreover, it is human nature for Mr. Sir to fulfill his filial piety. Shi is not forcing it."

, but if one day you plan to go out to work in the mountains, please think about Shaohua Mountain. I will open the mountain door to welcome you whenever you want to come."

Xu Guanzhong didn't want to have anything to do with him, but he still wanted to live up to his reputation, so he nodded in agreement.

"I came all the way to visit you, sir, and I caused you a lot of trouble. So I decided to leave something behind as an apology to you," Du Yu said.

After that, he reached into the package he was carrying, and actually took out the gift he had prepared long ago from the system space and placed it on the ground.

In fact, the box was already bigger than the baggage, but the things the two talked about were so sensitive that Xu Guanzhong was a little nervous and did not notice this detail.

"Brother Shi, why bother? I haven't done anything to help you." Xu Guanzhong planned to politely decline.

"It's just a few books, and it's not a very valuable thing. I must accept it, sir." Du Yu's attitude was very sincere.

Xu Guanzhong had no choice but to take the wooden box, gently opened it and glanced inside. Sure enough, it was a few thread-bound books, so he did not refuse.

"After a long time of disturbance, Shi decided to say goodbye, but before leaving I wanted to tell him two important things," Du Yu said.

Xu Guanzhong was relieved when he saw that he was planning to leave. This Jiuwenlong was very ambitious and wanted to keep him at a distance and send him away as soon as possible, so he asked, "I wonder what the big deal is?"

"Sir, you can pay attention to this year's Liao-Jin War and the Song-Jin Maritime Alliance." Du Yu said.

"Liao-Jin War, Maritime Alliance? Okay, I will definitely pay attention." Xu Guanzhong said.

"Sir, the book that Shi gave you includes the story of the monk. I believe that your husband will have many thoughts after reading it. As I said again, if your husband plans to leave the mountain one day, please consider me, Shi Jin." Du Yu said.

Xu Guanzhong didn't know why, but in order to send him to leave early, he casually agreed again.

Du Yu saw that there was no point in talking anymore, so he stood up and said goodbye to him.

When they left the room, both of them had smiles on their faces and seemed to be having a great conversation.

"Brother, are you done talking?" Shi Qian looked expectant.

Du Yu nodded and shook his head slightly, regardless of whether Shi Qian understood it or not.

Yan Qing also came up to greet the two of them, but his focus was more on Xu Guanzhong.

"Brother Xu, how was your chat with Brother Shi?" Yan Qing asked.

"Haha, we felt like old friends when we met and we had a great time talking." Xu Guanzhong said.

Du Yu laughed, and after some polite remarks, he said that he had fulfilled his wish to see Xu Guanzhong, and that he had too many things to do, so he planned to say goodbye.

Yan Qing did not doubt that he was there, and after saying goodbye to Xu Guanzhong, he took the two of them back to Damingfu City.

After a few people left, Xu Guanzhong served his wife a meal. When he was free, he remembered the books Du Yu had left for him.

While his mother was resting, he went to the side room to light an oil lamp, and by the light he opened the book on the top of the wooden box and began to read.

"Hiss! "History of the Song Dynasty·Jianbian"?" Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but gasped when he looked at the cover. He had been studying since he was a child and knew that only when a dynasty perished would the next dynasty write its history. The historians of the current dynasty only recorded historical facts.

, but I do not compile dynasty history and do not make subjective comments.

"Could it be that the Song Dynasty died?" He couldn't believe it.

I put down the book and looked down again, and found that five books in a row were all about the history of the Song Dynasty. I randomly picked up a book and flipped through it, and happened to find the section about Shenzong. I read it casually, and found that it was exactly the same as what I knew.

Xu Guanzhong was so shocked that he did not even have the courage to read on.

After a long time, he calmed down and looked at the book below. "History of the Ming Dynasty: The Chronicles of Taizu" was clearly written on the cover.

Xu Guanzhong was curious, so he opened it to read. Unexpectedly, he read directly until dawn.

After reading it roughly, he was filled with emotions. He never expected that there would be such a strange person in the world, who started from such a low level but became the final winner when competing in the world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh quietly and said to himself: "No wonder Shi Jin is so ambitious. Who can bear it after reading such a 'story'."

Xu Guanzhong felt deeply worried about the fact that the official Zhao Ji was ignorant and immoral, and the traitors in the court were everywhere, leading to widespread public resentment and uprisings.

Let’s leave aside Xu Guanzhong and let’s talk about Du Yu.

I returned to Daming Mansion and stayed for a few more days. First, I ate and drank with Yan Qing, and second, I bought a batch of precious medicinal materials in the market.

A few days later, Du Yu and Shi Qian said goodbye to Yan Qing.

The two set out from Daming Mansion to look for Bian Xiang.

Bian Xiang was born in a banker's family. The book says that he was nine feet tall and short, with three teeth covering his mouth and a mustache. He had a square face, broad shoulders, erect eyebrows and round eyes. His two arms had the strength of a buffalo, and he was proficient in martial arts with a mountain-breaking axe.

Du Yu felt that judging from the fact that he worshiped Tian Hu as the right prime minister, he must have some literary talents, otherwise he would not be able to reach a high position by force alone.

Especially since he comes from a humble background, he should be a more realistic goal than Xu Guanzhong.

However, the book only states that his native place is Hebei. It does not explain why he joined Tian Hu's family, nor where he lives.

Just like Xu Guanzhong, he appeared in the late stage, after conquering Tian Hu, so Shuanglin Town in the book has no reference value, so he found Yan Qing. After all, the two had known each other before and were close friends.

, and it turned out that Xu Guanzhong was indeed found through Yan Qing.

Bian Xiang, on the other hand, didn't even have a place name that had no reference value. Du Yu and Shi Qian could only wander around the boundaries of Hebei, asking and searching.

On this day, the two of them were tired from walking and were resting in a hotel in a village.

The two ordered a fat goose and cut a few kilograms of meat. While drinking, they whispered about looking for Bian Xiang.

At this moment, the store door was pushed open with a shout, and a big man came in.

The man was similar in stature to Du Yu, but a little thicker. He was wearing a pair of coarse cloth clothes, and his face did not have the look of "kind eyebrows and kind eyes" without any eyebrows.

After entering the store, he yelled at the waiter to serve him food. The sound made Shi Qian cover his ears.

What made Du Yu find it funny was that despite the man's ferocious face and shouting loudly, he only wanted twenty steamed buns.

While staring at the food and wine between the two of them, his mouth watered, while he stuffed steamed buns into his mouth like a whirlwind.

Du Yu found it interesting and said, "That man, do you dare to come over and have a bowl of wine?"

The big man said: "If you don't dare, I'm afraid you won't be able to part with wine and meat."

Having said that, he sat down opposite Du Yu without any courtesy, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
