This place is fun

Chapter 152 Past Events

“Dark…too dark!”

The crowd watched Han Luheng's back quietly as he left.

Even though most people felt that the Yunjing Clan had it all their own fault, Han Luheng's way of handling the situation still gave them an extremely strong shock - his favoritism towards the Su family was simply so crude and unscrupulous!

He listened to one side of the story, arrested someone, and let him go...it only took a few minutes.

It was as if he had come here specially, not to resolve the conflict and uphold justice, but to announce a message - the relationship between the Su family and the Fiery Army is extraordinary, and everyone had better be smart!
At this moment, everyone's eyes had completely changed when they looked at Su Daoshan and others. Especially some of the noble families who came from other counties, their backs were chilled.

Now that the war is approaching, the four counties of Xiazhou and more than a dozen cities and the front troops of the Fiery Army will be mobilized in the early stage. If the battle situation is intense, there will be reinforcements from other counties near Xiazhou and other troops of the Fiery Army in the later stage. With such a large scale, even if no one dares to make money from the war, the most basic need of the army is a big piece of fat meat.

For cities that are usually isolated from each other, this is definitely a big business. You have to grab it no matter what. After all, life is hard. If you can eat more, you may live a few more days in the future.

Originally, in the eyes of these noble families from other counties, Yishan City was just a remote town in Xiazhou, and the families in the city were just a few local rich people in the countryside.

Therefore, when the news of the wormhole came out, all the major families did not take the local families of Yishan City seriously, but immediately sent their heads to come to the front. As long as this side is well taken care of, the subsequent fundraising of materials, the arrangement of convoys and guards, and various channels will follow.

Some wealthy and powerful families, after seeing that the local Su family had taken the lead, had even passed the message to Han Luheng through various channels of connections.

There is only one meaning: "What the hell is the Su family!"

At this moment, looking at Han Luheng's back, everyone has already got the answer - not to mention that those who were sent here are all smart people with raised eyebrows, even an idiot would know that Han Luheng is using this method to criticize him.

He didn't even give face to Yuanshan Tower. Not only did he arrest the disciples of Yunjing Sect in front of Gu Tianchi, but he even turned back and said that before leaving... His favoritism towards the Su family was so obvious and unscrupulous, and this slap in the face of Yuanshan Tower was as loud as it was!
And this slap was not just on Yuanshanlou's face.

"Let's find out more about the Su family later. What's the background of this family?" Everyone's face was burning, and they were thinking silently in their hearts.

Among the crowd, the person with the ugliest expression naturally belonged to Gu Tianchi.

Beside him, a group of disciples who were originally in high spirits and beating drums and gongs for Yuanshan Tower were now silent as a cicada, standing there like frightened quails, obviously confused.

"Let's go!" Gu Tianchi gritted his teeth, snorted angrily, and left in a huff.

Ke Lizhi and other disciples quickly followed.

However, when leaving, Ke Lizhi, who was the focus of the fans around him, raised his chin slightly, extended his index finger with a cold and arrogant expression, pointed at Su Daoshan, and then turned and left.

The arrogant and tough posture and the tall back made the eyes of the young girls in the crowd full of stars. They all glared at Su Daoshan fiercely and chased after Ke Lizhi together.

A conflict had begun, and people dispersed amid discussion.

Su Daoshan greeted Meng Qiaofu immediately. Xue Yu and others surrounded Su Daoshan. It was very lively for a while. Fortunately, Su Daoyu, Yue Shifeng and others deliberately left space for Su Daoshan, just smiled and watched from the side, and did not come up to join in the fun. Otherwise, I am afraid that Su Daoshan would not be able to handle it even if he had three heads and six arms.

"Junior brother, have you realized the level of seeing God with your Eighteen Crazy Hammers?"

"How long have you been practicing this martial art?"

After meeting Su Daoshan, Xue Yu and the others started asking questions one after another. Amid the chatter, Meng Qiaofu waved his hand and pushed the curious kids aside: "Okay, okay, we'll talk later. Come with me."

At the signal of Woodcutter Meng, Su Daoshan followed him and walked to a large tree in the distance where no one was.

"When did you reach the seventh rank?" asked Woodcutter Meng with a smile.

"Your Excellency," Su Daoshan bowed, "This morning."

"This morning?" The smile on Meng Qiaofu's face froze, and his cheeks twitched unconsciously. This kid just broke through to the seventh rank this morning. So...

Woodcutter Meng couldn't wait to ask, "Did you learn the Eighteen Crazy Hammers this morning as well?"

"Yes." Su Daoshan nodded, looking respectful and humble.

Meng Qiaofu was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment. He learned in the morning, so he practiced in the morning. Not only did he reach the level of seeing the gods, but his martial arts also reached the realm of great success...

What the hell is this monster!
It would be difficult for others to improve their martial arts by a few levels in their entire lives, so is there no obstacle at all in front of him?
After a long while, Meng Qiaofu slowly said, "You don't need to call me elder when we meet in the future. You have to call me Fourth Uncle. The headmaster sent a message yesterday, saying that he has decided to accept you as his personal disciple. I originally wanted to compete with him, but now it seems..."

Woodcutter Meng sighed somewhat unwillingly and said, "...Only that old fellow can teach you."

"The Sect Master's personal teaching?!" Su Daoshan was also a little surprised. He knew very well what the four words "the Sect Master's personal teaching" meant in the sect.

Next, Meng Qiaofu asked some more questions. Some about Su Daoshan's spiritual root level, some about his relationship with Han Luheng, and some about the situation on the front line of Kelun Fort. Su Daoshan answered all the questions truthfully.

After Su Daoshan finished explaining everything, Meng Qiaofu finally understood what was going on.

All the questions I had before coming here now have answers.

Before, he had never understood why the usually lazy leader Wei Qikong suddenly accepted this disciple whom he had never even met as his personal disciple. He also didn't know why the sect received news that Su Daoshan was also included in the list of Qingyun Secret Selection. He didn't know why Han Luheng had such an attitude towards this new disciple of Han Gu.

You know, Hangu and Yuanshanlou are both top sects in Xiazhou, and although Meng Qiaofu and Han Luheng know each other, their relationship is not deep. He doesn't think Han Luheng will favor one over the other for his sake.

Now, when he heard about Su Daoshan's experience on the front line of Kolunburg, he finally understood and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm afraid Gu Tianchi will be puzzled after he returns, thinking that there is some secret connection between us Han Gu and the Liehuo Army. He never dreamed that this guy is the iron wall he kicked!"

"He saved General Tang's favorite granddaughter, and they also teamed up to kill a ghost demon... Although this guy was vague and didn't make it clear what role he played in this matter, but the sect's news came that he had a first-class battle achievement, but it was reported. The news was leaked by Pan Xu from the front army, so it shouldn't be too far off."

"Even if the higher-ups have other considerations by then and cannot give me the A-level rank, I will definitely give me the A-level rank."

"So, no one knows that right now, the front army of the Fiery Army is very fond of this kid. Gu Tianchi is not good at dealing with people, but he chose to deal with him. Isn't this asking for trouble?!"

"And the reason why Han Luheng showed such undisguised favoritism towards this kid today, besides the matter of Tang Moer, he probably also wanted to give this kid an extra amulet. After all, there are all kinds of people here. If there is a Yunjing Sect today, there may not be a Wujing Sect or a Yanjing Sect tomorrow. In order to prevent anyone from being blind again, we might as well just sweep them all down with one stick first!"

Thinking of this, Meng Qiaofu asked, "Are you still in the Dingzi Camp of the militia in Yishan City?"

"Yes." Su Daoshan replied.

Meng Qiaofu nodded. Generally speaking, when a sect disciple reaches the seventh level, he will be transferred to the sect team. But now it seems that it is better to let Su Daoshan continue to stay in the Dingzi Camp.

After all, the Ding Battalion was located in the rear and was only responsible for some less dangerous tasks such as logistics and public security.

Han Gu has finally got such a genius, so there can't be any mistakes.

"Okay, we still have to report to the camp, you go back first. Tomorrow, your fifth uncle should be here. Then, we will take turns to teach you the Hangu martial arts. Until the war is over, you will return to the sect with us. At that time, it will be your master's business."

"Yes." Su Daoshan said respectfully.

After saying goodbye to Meng Qiaofu, Xue Yu and others, Su Daoshan, Su Daoyu, Su Yu, Yue Shifeng, Yue Zhen and others returned to Yishan City together. Along the way, everyone was not in a hurry, just riding slowly. Xixi leaned in his arms, looking up at him from time to time. Her big eyes were sparkling and full of admiration.

Su Daoyu rode his horse aside, looking at Xixi's appearance, and said with a smile: "After all these years, Xixi is still so attached to you. I really don't understand why you, the dull and boring second brother, are more attractive than me, the eldest brother."

Su Daoshan said expressionlessly: "Brother, you talk too much."

Xixi nodded repeatedly in his arms, which made Su Daoyu glare in anger, causing Su Yu and Su Daochun to laugh.

Suddenly, the Su brothers and sisters seemed to have returned to a few years ago. At that time, Su Daoyu had not yet been admitted to the Mohu Sword School. He took Su Yu and Su Daoshan with him to call friends in the city and release hawks and chase dogs.

At that time, Su Daochun was still young, and Xixi still needed to be carried. Su Wan, as the eldest sister, was not sociable. She would only go out with them when there were activities she liked or when she couldn't get over Su Yu's pestering. Therefore, most of the time, when Su Daoyu, Su Yu and Su Daoshan returned home, they would see two little kids, Su Daochun and Xixi, waiting at the door. One was a little boy of six or seven years old, with a face full of anger and white eyes since childhood. The other was a little girl of only two years old, as delicate as a jade sculpture. She just sat quietly on the doorstep and looked around.

Sometimes Su Wan would hold Xixi in her arms while waiting.

When Su Daoyu and the other two came back, the six brothers and sisters walked through the front yard together, walked along the long corridor, passed through one courtyard after another, followed the winding corridor into the hanging flower gate, and went to the old lady's courtyard to have dinner together.

Su Daoyu was always full of energy, Su Wan was always smiling gently, Su Yu was always chattering, Su Daochun was always looking sinister. And Su Daoshan was dull, hugging Xixi, who had been closest to him since childhood.

The topic always revolves around the second brother Dai who is stupid again and has a quarrel with someone until his face turns red. Then, Su Daoyu and Su Yu have a conflict with someone in order to protect Su Daoshan. How Su Daoyu beats the other party with a few punches and two kicks, and how Su Yu scolds the other party with his sharp words and makes him cry.

now……

The people rode their horses at a leisurely pace. After not seeing each other for a long time, Yue Shifeng and other noble family children were very excited to see Su Daoyu. Even though the road was narrow and could not accommodate two people walking side by side, they all took turns to come to Su Daoyu to chat. Yue Zhen and other noble family girls would whisper to Su Yu from time to time, laughing and playing.

But intentionally or unintentionally, everyone's eyes will always be on Su Daoshan.

This once dull boy now talks about the words of sages and the ways of gentlemen all day long. He is not worldly-wise, but stubborn, willful and likes to be in the spotlight. He always acts like a maverick and makes countless jokes.

He still looks the same now, still serious and solemn.

But I don't know when, these characteristics that everyone used to disdain or even ridicule have now turned into something that makes people feel moved and settled in him. It feels like a light sprout that has grown into a solid tree. Just walking beside him, people can feel the strength that is enough to rely on.

This was the case when he rescued everyone from the desperate situation of the dust storm before, and it was also the case when he scolded Zheng Qiuyan and beat up Ma Wenrui and Bao Shouyi today.

“Puff…” Among the young men from the noble families, two girls who were playing around, one of them was tickled and laughed out loud. She dodged and yelled at the other, “Hey, you little bitch… Who is your husband? Tell him to come out and I’ll make him divorce you!”

The sound of horse hooves slowed down, the sun was shining brightly, and the young men burst into laughter.

After returning to Yishan City, when everyone separated, Yue Zhen secretly glanced at Su Daoshan meaningfully. Seeing that Su Daoshan looked away as if nothing had happened, she giggled and left with Yue Shifeng.

When I returned to the Su family, the house was already filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere.

The eldest son Su Daoyu came home for the first time in four years, which was a great joy for the Su family. Early in the morning, the maids in Su Daoyu's courtyard were already waiting at the door. The Su family was cleaned up and down, and all that was missing was the decorations. The servants were busy coming and going, the kitchen was steaming, and the aroma of food could be smelled from a long distance away.

In the evening, the whole family gathered together and set up two tables in the old lady's room.

The old lady asked a question in surprise when she saw Su Daochun's face was bruised. After being evaded, she was very happy. She was even happier to hear that Su Daoyu was already a seventh-rank upper-level warrior and that he would be a first-class soldier in the army and receive seven gold stones in salary every month. She kept picking food for her eldest grandson whom she hadn't seen for four years.

Only occasionally was Xixi in her arms staring at her, and she would glance at Su Daoshan, who looked dull, and then she would pick up a piece of food for him with a look of disdain, which caused Su Wan and Su Yu to snicker.

At night, Su Daoshan and Xixi sat on the lounge chairs on the terrace of the small building, looking at the stars. A light sound of footsteps came, and soon, Su Daoshan smelled a faint fragrance. The next second, Xixi was picked up, and then a fragrant and soft body pushed Su Daoshan aside, and then he hugged Xixi, sat down next to him, and gently rested his head on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Su Yu looked at the sky dimly. She had long eyelashes and a straight and upturned nose.

Su Daoshan also looked at the starry sky without saying a word.

The whole Yishan City knows that among the children of the Su family, except Su Wan and Su Daoyu, all the others are problem children. Su Daoshan is, Xixi is, Su Daochun is, and Su Yu is too.

If placed in the campus of the original world, Su Daoshan could imagine what kind of reputation Su Yu would have with such a girl.

Slutty, bitch, bus, vixen, big-breasted and brainless, nymphomaniac... People may not say it out loud, and some girls even have a very good relationship with them. But when they turn around and talk about them behind their backs, they always exchange meaningful glances.

That is basically the pinnacle of the previous life.

Firstly, many things are just hearsay, and no one has really seen what the other person has done. Secondly, even if the person is really like this, his or her business is his or her business after all. No one has the right to comment on what path he or she is willing to choose.

Even to some "teachers", the ignorant young teenagers are grateful even after they grow up.

In this world which is far more conservative than her previous life, Su Yu would be labeled with these things simply because she is too self-centered and does what she wants, so that in the eyes of some people, she is too rebellious.

Su Yu likes to be lively and can't stay at home. She likes to go outing, like to fly hawks and chase dogs, like gossip, like the world, and like to make friends. She makes friends with girls and boys. But she is straightforward and dares to love and hate. As long as she finds that this person is not what she imagined, she will turn around and leave without hesitation.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Daoshan, who was the closest to her age, had no idea how many young men she admired and how many of them he had talked to her about.

Some people have been to Yishan City and Su Daoshan has seen them. Some people only exist in stories and legends. And every time, Su Daoshan remembers Su Yu's eyes that were shining with excitement, blurred like stars, and full of longing.

When she was a child, Su Daoshan always had a feeling. One day, Su Yu would be the first person to leave this home. Nothing could hold her back. When she met the person she loved one day, she would be like a bird that was set free, flying to the end of the sky and never coming back.

Maybe when you see her again decades later, even if she is old and frail, her eyes will still be so bright. She will tell you stories about her wanderings with him, and she will giggle as she did when she was a child.

The way she looked at him was always so gentle, so admiring, and so worshipful.

Three years ago, Su Daoshan once thought she had met that person.

The man's name was He Yunjie. He was a disciple of the Shinto sect, one of the four super sects. He was also a well-known figure among the younger generation in the martial arts world. He was tall, fair-skinned, and handsome, and always had a gentle smile on his face. But he used drastic means. It was said that in order to save a fellow disciple of the righteous sect, he single-handedly took on a bandit stronghold with more than a thousand people.

He killed twenty-three people, seriously injured seven, and suffered sixteen wounds himself, with his clothes soaked with blood.

Later, the bandits saw this bloody evil star still rushing forward, and they were so scared that they scattered, so he was able to rescue the people. It is said that when other righteous disciples came to find him, He Yunjie was almost exhausted and was holding on with only one breath.

That year, He Yunjie passed by Chongguang City. The children of noble families and disciples of sects from all over the country who had already heard the news came to visit him.

Su Yu is one of them.

Before this, Su Daoshan had heard Su Yu talk about He Yunjie countless times, and he still clearly remembered the excitement of the girl who pestered her mother and stayed up all night after getting her consent. He still remembered her sparkling eyes when she followed the tribe's convoy and got on the carriage to Chongguang City.

Later, Su Yu not only met He Yunjie, but also took him and some sect disciples and children of noble families back to Yishan City. If I remember correctly, Zheng Qiuyan from Yunjing Sect was also one of them.

Those were the happiest days for Su Yu that Su Daoshan had ever seen.

But then one day, for some unknown reason, Su Yu came back alone, locked herself in the room, and said nothing. And the next day, He Yunjie and others left.

Later, some bad voices were heard.

Su Yu never made any excuses.

The night after He Yunjie left, she pulled Su Daoshan out of bed and watched the stars with her all night. When the sun showed its first rays of light from afar, she smiled and flew up.

"I'm going to bed."

Su Daoshan, who had been unable to sleep all night, had to prepare to go to school.

At this moment, the platform was quiet. The three siblings squeezed on a lounge chair and looked at the stars quietly.

"Next time she scolds me," Su Yu's voice came from my ear, "you will help me scold her. Beat them all up again!"

"Ah."

"You have to become more powerful. If you meet He Yunjie next time, help me kill him!"

"it is good."
