Chapter 683: The Empty-handed Shopkeeper Will Finally Leave
A deserter was in a panic and accidentally ran into the Laiqu Inn. Li Changxiao rescued him and took good care of him. Within two hours, he woke up.
In order to thank him for his great kindness, the deserter told him that the situation was now very dangerous. If Daqian broke open the city gate, he was afraid that a bloody tragedy would happen and the people in the city would become prey. Their miserable end could be predicted.
The deserter still had some conscience and didn't want to be stained with blood, so he tried to escape. On the way, he was discovered and shot with arrows, and he was stabbed in the knee and right shoulder respectively.
He was bleeding profusely and was trapped in the wilderness. He was already beyond help and waiting to die, but he happened to meet Li Changxiao.
After hearing this, Qing Xiao slammed the table and stood up, "How can this be absurd? Winning the war is winning, so what is the big deal about bullying the people?"
Li Changxiao only thought that Qingxiao was quite old, but he still didn't know much about human affairs.
Although violence after a city is captured is not inevitable, it is definitely common in ancient times. Soldiers have experienced life-and-death battles, and even if they survive and win, their humanity has long been covered up in the battle. Only brutal bestiality remains.
The people in the city naturally became the targets of his anger. Qing Xiao left in anger, wanting to end this tragedy in his own way. But when he entered the city, he saw the ground in a mess, with the people and soldiers all fainted on the ground.
It turns out that although Li Changxiao is indifferent, it is a kind of indifference that comes naturally, not complete indifference.
He did not interfere with the outcome of the battle, but he also did not want to see the soldiers vent their anger, harm the people, and do things that were against the will of heaven and earth. So after the city was captured and the outcome was clear, Li Changxiao had a thought in his heart and a thousand dreams came into his mind.
Evil people have nightmares, good people have sweet dreams.
If one has evil thoughts and wants to kill people for fun, then in the dream, he will be killed. If one still has conscience, then the dream will be much more comfortable.
Li Chang smiled and said, "Young man, you are anxious again."
Qing Xiao was at a loss and returned to the Laiqu Inn, but he could not understand Li Changxiao any more. He realized that Li Changxiao was kind and easy-going, and he regarded him as a "brother", but the difference between their ways was too great to really get along.
If Mei Sanniang were present, things would definitely be different.
Qingxiao scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed. Li Changxiao took him out for a drink.
In fact, Qing Xiao is narrow-minded. When Li Changxiao makes friends, he values temperament and interests more, and his cultivation level is not important. Qing Xiao is too focused on reform, and he has been trying hard but failed. In addition, he is neither high nor low in cultivation. Over time, he will envy those with high cultivation levels. When he meets a senior cultivator, he finds it difficult to remain indifferent.
But it doesn't mean Qing Xiao is bad. It's hard for him to get rid of this characteristic after such an experience. Li Changxiao also always regards him as a true friend.
In the wars among the nations, Li Changxiao never intervened in the end and was unaware of the changes in the situation.
However, as more and more visitors came and people migrated back, it was known that the unrest was gradually subsiding.
In fact, Li Changxiao said he would not intervene, but he still intervened. He sent a dream to the kings of the four countries, pretending to be "The Great Lord of Heaven and Earth". The name was quite loud, but it was made up by Li Changxiao on the spur of the moment. He asked the four kings to accumulate blessings for their descendants and end the war quickly.
He didn't know if the war was settled because of his dream. But seeing the people living and working in peace was good. He suddenly thought of Mei Sanniang.
If Mei Sanniang had not left and was still coming to the inn, she would have been furious and cursed the four dog emperors, saying, "How dare I block my way to wealth? I'm going to seduce them right now."
Then they met one by one, seduced each other, and then slapped each one, lawless. Li Changxiao smiled leisurely, compared with Mei Sanniang, he was still too gentle.
Even the cook was ruthless and stunning, and might even confront the king, shouting that the white-clothed man was furious and blood splattered every three steps.
The regent and the second in command left too early, so Li Changxiao was not very clear about what happened, but Mei Sanniang and the cook had some similarities in character with Li Changxiao.
When Li Changxiao saw the three words "Laiqu Inn" for the first time, he felt that it was very much in line with his taste. He felt that the coming and going of people in this inn and the hurried pedestrians were the artistic conception very appropriate.
Now it seems that making friends with several people is no accident.
After the war subsided, in the autumn of that year, the big merchant gang passed by here again. The leader of the gang, "Yang Dafan", had a good relationship with Qingxiao and was quite enthusiastic when they met.
More than ten members of the merchant gang checked into the inn, making the inn, which had been quiet for a long time, lively again. However, after the previous turmoil, almost all the cooks and waiters in the inn left, and Li Changxiao was constantly recruited.
At this moment, more than ten people arrived, and it was really difficult to entertain them. As the shopkeeper Li Changxiao, the greater his ability, the greater his responsibility. He took on the work of more than ten people by himself, which was more than enough.
There were many new faces in the business community. Qing Xiao asked curiously, and Yang Dafan, with a gloomy face, told Qing Xiao that those old faces who disappeared died on the way due to various accidents.
Bandits, deserters, wolves, tigers and leopards... there are too many dangers on the road. Yang Dafan suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Qing, the mountain road is very dangerous now. There are many, many strange beasts that I have never seen before. Three of my brothers died at the hands of those beasts!"
When talking about this, Yang Dafan could not hide his fear. Facing the strange beast, even if more than ten people joined forces, including many warriors, they were still no match.
The only option is to escape.
As soon as the words fell, Li Changxiao and Qingxiao both looked over. Li Changxiao frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed. In the next few days, Qingxiao got close to Yang Dafan and the others, and talked about many interesting things.
Compared to Li Changxiao, Qingxiao and Yang Dafan are obviously more like-minded, and they even have a feeling of mutual appreciation.
The Yang Dafan Merchant Gang stayed for three days. It was time to set off again after three days. Qingxiao watched them leave for a long time.
Li Chang smiled and said, "Go if you want to."
Qing Xiao was stunned, and said hesitantly: "But...inn."
"I'll just watch. You'd better try it out as soon as possible and don't regret it later." Li Changxiao didn't even raise his head. He lay lazily on the chair, with his head covered by a wooden fan, and the breeze gently lifted the ends of his hair.
Qingxiao clenched his fists and made a decision after a moment of struggle. Without looking back, he ran out of the inn and caught up with Yang Dafan and others.
There is one less person coming and going from the inn.
The armchair was shaking slightly, and Li Changxiao became a shopkeeper without a job.
