Chapter 130 This place is closed during the day
"Okay, I will definitely go." Chu Xi made the decision in a moment.
Bian Hangqing felt that he had completed his task. After receiving Chu Xi's affirmative answer, he said nothing more and went out to take a bath with the wooden bucket.
He discovered that this newcomer Chu Jiang might not only come from a noble family, but also... have the most common problems of children from noble families.
That is, even grown men are reluctant to take a shower together and insist on taking a shower in the tent instead of with everyone else.
Bian Hangqing was also afraid that his rough and direct behavior would arouse Chu Jiang's contempt, so he subconsciously chose not to wash in the tent, but simply went to the bathhouse with ordinary soldiers.

The next day, Chu Xi, who had just arrived at the military camp and had a day off, got up early. Although it was a day off, she was used to getting up in the morning to do drills and practice swordplay.
Today is their day off, but not everyone else's. Everyone's day off is different, so there may be overlaps and staggered times.
Chu Xi was used to using a sword, which was obvious to everyone. Every time it was his turn for drill, many people would see him holding a commonly used sword in his hand and practicing a set of sword techniques that they did not understand but looked very powerful.
This was the scene that Bian Hangqing saw when he came out. He immediately felt an unprecedented crisis. Such a talented young man was still so hardworking. How could he dare to slack off?
This was the scene Zhou Qi saw when he arrived at the training ground. Several centurions who were supposed to be on rest, Prince Chu, and Bian Hangqing were actually intensifying their training on the training ground.
He couldn't help but sigh that when there are people, there will be motivation. Prince Chu is worthy of being the future successor of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. He alone can boost the atmosphere of their military camp.
Chu Xi practiced swordplay for a full half hour before she noticed the situation around her. Several centurions who were supposed to be resting now appeared around her, and vaguely... seemed to be looking at her.
Until she put away the sword, those who finally had one day off in a month, suddenly had a very hardworking and ambitious person come, which made them seem... a little lazy.
Seeing them like this, Chu Xi guessed their intention with a glance, and walked up to Bian Hangqing with a faint smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to be a good host? Why are you all here?"
Bian Hangqing gave Chu Xi a look that said, "You don't know what's going on, but you have to ask?" Chu Xi's smile became more and more undisguised. "I'm used to doing morning exercises at home, and I didn't mean to ask you to do it with me. Sorry."
This is not a lie. In order to adapt to the days where one may be assassinated at any time, Chu Xi is indeed much stricter on himself than ordinary people.
But she was not acting. In the novel Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the character Chu Jiang was assassinated by various forces most of the time.
As Zhou Yichen's biggest helper, Chu Jiang is both civil and military, and has a strong background as a support. No one wants to get rid of him.
"Your arrival has put a lot of pressure on us. Chu Jiang, tell me frankly, is your family a family of martial arts?" The more Bian Hangqing saw the power of Chu Jiang's sword and the sharp sword wind, the more he felt that Chu Jiang must have a family background in martial arts.
She thought Bian Hangqing was genuinely funny and straightforwardly cute, and her laughter was not meant to mock his following the crowd.
"That's right, you are right." Chu Xi didn't want to put too much pressure on them and cause them to collapse before they actually faced the foreign enemy.
Bian Hangqing got the answer he expected, but still felt stressed.
He waved to a few familiar comrades who had agreed to go together earlier, indicating that they could leave.
These people knew that he and Chu Jiang lived in the same tent, so they came to him specifically and said they wanted to have a meal with Chu Jiang and get to know him.
Bian Hangqing...is also a person who says one thing and means another. He says that there is nothing good to know about him, as he is just a little bit better in martial arts. But he immediately turns around and goes back to the tent and conveys his words to Chu Xi.
The centurions were speechless after hearing what Bian Hangqing said, "......"
Is this just better martial arts?
Even General Han lost to Chu Jiang. Isn't it normal for them to want to get to know Chu Jiang?
-
Chu Xi went out to practice sword in the morning wearing casual clothes, so naturally he didn't need to change clothes. However, Bian Hangqing and others went back and changed into... casual clothes.
Chu Jiang's ordinary clothes made him look particularly calm and detached, like a banished immortal who was detached from the world. This put a lot of pressure on them.
Some people can wear simple coarse cloth and look like children of wealthy families, with outstanding and gorgeous temperament, while some people wear gorgeous clothes, but still cannot compare to the coarse cloth of others.
Ugh...
Bian Hangqing and others, who had never cared so much about their appearance and clothing, went back and turned their clothes upside down, put on the robes they thought were the most luxurious, but when they walked to Chu Xi, they were still...completely crushed.
Chu Xi had no idea of the confusion and dilemma in their hearts. Her hair was tied up casually. She had not yet reached the age of 15, so she could only tie it up with a hairband and could not comb her hair into a bun after reaching the age of 15.
She followed the local customs and did not wear the poor quality coarse linen clothes, but a cotton robe, choosing the most commonly worn light blue color. She put away all the silk and brocade clothes she had brought with her.
The headband is also light blue.
Although she has proved with her own strength that she did not use any backdoor tactics, being too conspicuous is not a good thing.
Compared to her casual dress, the others were not so casual. They dressed seriously. They were all over 18 years old, with their hair tied in a bun and hairpins given by their elders inserted in their buns.
"Let's go." Bian Hangqing has already accepted this fact, so compared to his previous awkwardness, his tone this time is very normal.
Chu Xi didn't care about who dressed up better, she only cared about the Eighth Prince's plan.
After leaving the military camp, they rode their horses and galloped towards the city gate.
The city of Xi'an cannot compare with the Jiangnan water towns with their drunkenness, dreams and flourishing flowers. Whether it is the buildings outside the city gates or inside the city, they are mainly earthen houses.
There are a few rare and conspicuous buildings, which are made of wood and... are closed during the day.
Chu Xi looked at several busy houses for a long time, which naturally attracted the attention of people around him. Among them was a big man with a heroic character, a beard, and a loud laugh.
He said in a gruff voice, "This place is closed during the day. It's useless to look at it for a long time. If you really want to see it, you can come back at night."
Chu Xi didn't understand the meaning for a moment. After all, she was still a girl at heart. She had been educated in socialist values for more than 20 years. She didn't understand why she heard such a meaningful ridicule.
Bian Hangqing next to him looked a little uncomfortable, looking away, as if he didn't want to participate in this topic.
Another companion beside the big man hurried forward, grabbed the big man's neck and said, "Hahaha, Chu Jiang is not yet an adult. I guess his family must have strict education. You haven't been there yet, right?"
