Chapter 433 Applause
Although everyone wanted to listen to books, especially their own heroic deeds, Qin Shaoyou still had to decide on this matter.
If Qin Shaoyou disagrees, it's useless for them to be tempted.
So several small flag officials surrounded Zhu Xiucai after asking curiously, and then all turned their attention to Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou did not disappoint them. After pondering for a while, he said with a smile: "Xiucai took the initiative to treat guests, but it is a rare thing, so naturally he has to satisfy him once. And what Xiucai said just now is good, work really requires a combination of work and rest. That's good. In the past few days, the brothers have been fighting bloody battles, and their bodies and minds have been tense. Now that the demon has eased, it's time for them to relax."
In addition to wanting to make his subordinates relax, Qin Shaoyou also felt that letting the night watchmen listen to their own stories could also cultivate their sense of honor and responsibility.
At the same time, it can also mingle with the common people in the city.
Of course, it's not the kind of style of fighting with a knife...
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou agreed, several small flag officers were very happy, and even started a discussion to see who would be left to guard the house. In addition, patrol tasks had to be arranged for people to do.
Just because Zhu Xiucai wants to treat guests, you can't tell the demon town to stop working.
"Well, I'll stay and watch the house."
Qin Shaoyou took the initiative to express his position, but in the end he was unanimously opposed by several small banner officials:
"No, sir, you must go today."
"That's right, if you don't go, my lord, we won't feel at ease after hearing this story."
"Yes, my lord, the brothers will be happier only if you go."
After some discussion, Monk Ma finally stayed to watch the house. He didn't value fame and other things. He felt that it was more meaningful to go to the Sand Dance Academy to persuade people to be good than to go to Goulan Wasi to listen to books.
In addition to the horse monk, there are several parades, shackles, and twenty strong men who need to stay.
Some of them are responsible for guarding the house, while others are patrolling the city.
Even with Qingji's help, they couldn't just stay at home and wait for news.
In order to make up for the regrets of these people, Qin Shaoyou added after announcing Zhu Xiucai's invitation to listen to books in public: "Brothers who didn't make it today, don't worry, it will be your turn tomorrow, and you can still hear more Come back and spoil the story to the brothers who went today."
Hearing this, the night watchmen who were arranged to stay on duty today suddenly felt no resentment, and even joked with their colleagues who were going to go today.
Zhu Xiucai's complexion changed slightly, and he leaned into Qin Shaoyou's ear and asked in a low voice, "My lord, who is the treat tomorrow?"
Qin Shaoyou glanced at him, and said with a suppressed smile, "Of course it's you. Why, do you want to invite only today's guests and not tomorrow? I don't care, I'm afraid everyone will be dissatisfied."
"This..." Zhu Xiucai glanced at the elated night watchman, and finally sighed, "Then I'd better invite you."
He was afraid that if he didn't invite, he would anger the twenty or so people who were on duty today.
Although it is not enough to snipe at him on the battlefield, it is very difficult to trip him up on weekdays.
For some reason, seeing Zhu Xiucai deflated, Qin Shaoyou felt very happy.
He raised his hand and patted Zhu Xiucai's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't be so sad, you write everyone's stories into a storybook, and it's not bad if they don't ask you for a portrait fee."
My own superior has said so, what else can Zhu Xiucai do? Only yes.
But he was muttering in his heart: Portrait fee? What is a portrait fee?
The night watchmen assembled quickly, and followed Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others to Goulan Wasi.
What people didn't expect was that after coming to Zhenyaosi, Qiu Rong, who had never stepped out of the gate, actually wanted to follow.
Holding an umbrella, she followed far behind the team, looking as if she wanted to go but was a little embarrassed.
Zhu Xiucai was stunned when he saw her when he turned his head to greet everyone.
Zhu Xiucai has no objection to Qiu Rong's desire to follow her to listen to the book.
So many people have been invited, it doesn't matter if there is one more... er, one more ghost.
I just don't know if Qiu Rong has gone, will it scare people?
Zhu Xiucai thought of this, looked carefully, and found that after so many days of nourishment by the qi entraining circle, and practicing with Cui Yougui, Qiu Rong could not only gather the spirit body more stably, but also restrain the ghost energy.
As long as ordinary people don't touch her, they won't know that she is a ghost.
Moreover, Qiu Rong was wearing a veil, so that people could not see her bitten face.
The only thing that makes people feel weird is that Qiu Rong has been holding an umbrella and wearing a red wedding dress.
Normal people, who would run around in a red wedding dress?
But Qin Shaoyou thought about it for a while, and this problem is not too big.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhenyaosi is a place full of mysterious colors. The strange dress and behavior of the people here can also be understood.
Besides, Qiu Rong hasn't been out of the house since she came to Zhenyaosi. You might as well let her go and relax with her, maybe it can make her feel happy again.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiucai waved to Qiurong, motioning her to follow quickly.
After Qin Shaoyou saw this scene, he also turned around and waved to Qiu Rong with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiu Rong quickly followed the team.
Although she couldn't see the expression on her face because she was wearing a veil, it could be seen from her brisk movements that she was in a very good mood at this moment.
She is very happy.
The team crossed the street to transfer ownership, and under the curious eyes of many people, they came to Goulan Wasi.
Obviously, Zhu Xiucai had made arrangements long ago, and led the crowd to a tile house with the best business.
The business of this store is very good, not only is it full of people, there are even many standing ones.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shaoyou was secretly amazed: "Good guy, business is so good that you can sell standing tickets?"
Just when the night watchmen thought that they had to stand and listen to the book, a doctor of tea came out to welcome them and led them to the seats reserved earlier.
As for the customers in the store, after seeing the arrival of the night watchman, they were taken aback for a moment, and then applauded loudly.
The sudden shouts startled the night watchmen.
Even some tense night watchmen immediately touched the sabers around their waists, squinting their eyes and staring at their surroundings vigilantly.
This reaction not only did not scare the customers in the store, but made their applause even louder.
The night watchmen also discovered at this time that the customers in the washhouse were not malicious, but were still giving them a thumbs up and shouting "hero".
The common people's eyes are discerning.
Ever since a newcomer came to the demon town in Mianyuan County and launched a crackdown, the demon sentiment in the city has been brought under control.
Among other things, before the crackdown started, all they thought about was how to survive the ghosts at night, how to survive, and how could they come to Goulan Wasili to listen to books and music?
Perhaps in the past, the common people didn't think that the night watchman was good, and even had some prejudice and fear towards the night watchman because of various folk rumors.
But now, after experiencing the harm of ghosts, their concepts have also changed.
Of course, some common people are curious about Qiu Rong in a red wedding dress.
But as Zhu Xiucai thought, although these people were curious, they were not afraid.
One is that through the performance of the night watchmen in the past few days, the common people in the county have developed trust in them.
The second is that the common people feel that it is normal for there to be some weird people in a special yamen organization like the Zhenyaosi.
After all, even someone as ugly as Zhu Xiucai can become a small flag officer in the Monster Town Division. It is not unacceptable that some night watchmen like to run around in red wedding dresses.
The night watchmen applauded the applause from the common people. They were a little uncomfortable at first, but soon raised their heads and chests up, looking happy and proud.
There are bosses who are not short of money in the washhouse. Apart from applauding, they all shouted:
"Today's drink money for the heroes of the demon town is on my head!"
"Send some cakes to you good fellows, and charge them to my account."
"I'll also offer a copy. If you have something delicious to drink, hurry up and serve it to the good guys in the demon town."
When Zhu Xiucai heard these words, his face immediately beamed with joy.
He immediately wanted to reply with "the boss's atmosphere", and then agreed.
But before the words were spoken, Qin Shaoyou took the first step and cupped his hands at the few people clamoring for a treat:
"We appreciate the kindness of you folks. But we are here today mainly to support our Zhu Xiaoqi. You don't know, do you? Zhu Xiaoqi wrote the "Legend of the Demon Lord Conquering Demons" that you have heard these days. As for us, we also came here at his invitation. So today's guest must be invited by him, otherwise we will not give him face..."
When Zhu Xiucai heard this, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly wanted to intervene and say, "It doesn't matter if you don't give me face."
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't speak them.
An invisible force covered his mouth, making him speechless.
This is obviously not caused by ghosts, it can only be...
Zhu Xiucai immediately turned his head and looked at Cui Yougui who was sitting next to him.
Sure enough, Cui Yougui formed the seal with his forehand, even if he was discovered, he didn't stop, and even gave him a smug smile.
The old way, you fucked me! You unfilial son, how dare you blackmail your father? !
Zhu Xiucai, who was unable to speak out, let out an angry roar in his heart.
