Looking from outside the door, the Falling Goose Manor was low-key and ordinary, nothing special.
After entering, he realized that the world inside had a different elegance.
The gardens and courtyards were integrated into one, and the layout was quiet. The exquisitely constructed halls and pavilions were connected by winding corridors, surrounded by gardens, rockery, and nursery ponds, giving people a sense of seclusion.
"Not bad." Walking in a quiet and elegant garden, Dugu Ce looked at the oddly shaped rockery in the garden. He couldn't help but nod and praise,""Luo Yan, the layout of your garden is not bad compared to the Jiangnan gardens.”
Shen Luoyan pursed her lips and smiled." Young Master Dugu is very knowledgeable. You can even visit the imperial garden as you please. I'm afraid that this small village residence of Luoyan will not catch your eye."”
The two of them chatted as they passed through the garden and arrived at the main hall of the manor.
After entering the hall, the host and guest sat down. Shen Luo Yan instructed the maidservants to serve fragrant tea and ordered people to prepare a welcoming banquet. After the arrangements were made, she spoke to Dugu Ce.
She looked at Fu Junyu who was standing behind Dugu Ce and asked with a smile,""Young Master's…um, female companion has an extraordinary temperament. She shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?”
From the moment they entered the door, Fu Junyu didn't say a word and quietly followed Dugu Ce. After entering the hall, she didn't even sit down. She stood behind Dugu Ce and pressed her sword, acting like a maidservant.
Even so, her outstanding temperament was difficult to hide and could not escape the discerning eyes of the observant Shen Luo Yan. The pretty military counselor was even more certain that this woman was the rumored second direct disciple of the Korean sword master Fu Cailin, Fu Junyu.
The reason why he was asking now was just to confirm with Dugu Ce.
"This maidservant of mine is indeed not an ordinary person.”Dugu Ce did not deny it." She's Fu Cailin's second disciple, Fu Junyu from Koryo." He smiled. Junyu, greet Military Advisor Shen."
Fu Junyu only admired Dugu Ce and did not bother to talk to others. Dugu Ce did not ask her to pay her respects, so she only nodded lightly at Shen Luo Yan as a form of greeting.
Shen Luoyan did not mind Fu Junyu's indifference. She smiled and greeted him. Then, she smiled sweetly at Dugu Ce and said,""How dare you use the personal disciple of a sword master as your maidservant? Young Master Dugu is still as audacious as when we first met in Pengcheng.”
"If I wasn't brave enough, why would I dare to come to Xingyang to find you?”
Dugu Ce held the teacup in his hand and took a sip of the green tea. He raised his eyebrows and said,"Yan Luo, I didn't care about my personal safety and risked my life to enter the rebel's lair as an official just to see you. How can you repay such deep love?"
Shen Luo Yan giggled," You, you came to see me and you want to ask for something in return. How dare you say such thick-skinned words.”
Dugu Ce didn't mind. He smiled and said,""I've already said what I wanted to say. Luo Yan, you can't possibly let me return empty-handed, right?”
The path of cultivation for cultivators of the resource flow was to constantly travel and search for resources everywhere. He explored secret realms, explored relics, killed people, and stole treasures. He had been busy fighting all his life.
Dugu Ce was a plucking evil cultivator, so he had to travel around, hunt beautiful women, and do double cultivation. He had to spend his whole life having sex, so he couldn't be idle. Sometimes when he thought about it, he felt that in order to ascend to immortality and become a Dao, he had to go all out.
"Young Master is really overbearing! He had made a trip so easily, but he had to be repaid.”Shen Luo Yan pouted and rolled her eyes at Dugu Ce," Speaking of which, how do you want me to repay you?”
"My requirements are not high." Dugu Ce looked straight at Shen Luoyan, his eyes burning with aggressiveness,""As long as you, Yan Luo, devote yourself to me.”
Shen Luoyan rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment and covered her lips as she laughed,"I am deeply honored that Young Master thinks highly of my willowy appearance. However, when they first met in Pengcheng, Luo Yan had already said that if Young Master wanted to Luo Yan, he had to join the Tile Garrison Army and work for my lord!”
Dugu Ce shook his head and said disdainfully,""I still say the same thing. Li Mi is not worthy of my service.”
Shen Luoyan secretly gritted her teeth and said,"The Secret Duke's army is approaching Xingluo Cang. With Wang Shichong's ability, he can't stop the Secret Duke's army." the granary of Xingluo is within reach. With the grain and equipment from Xingluo Granary, Mi Gong could gather 100,000 troops and then march into Luoyang, the eastern capital, to capture it. Once the Eastern Capital falls, the Central Plains will be under the control of our army. The general situation is under our control, why don't you think Mi Gong will win?”
" It's not difficult for Li Mi to take down Xingluo Granary," Dugu Ce said indifferently." But it's impossible for him to take down Luoyang, the eastern capital."”
Shen Luo Yan was not convinced,"Why not?" With Duke Mi's military strategy, with my Wa Gang's current reputation and military might, even a mighty city like Luoyang might not be able to stop my army!”
"It has nothing to do with military strategy, reputation, military power, and so on. The reason why I said that you can't take Luoyang is because you are bandits!”"Don't blame me for being blunt, Wild Goose," Dugu Ce laughed.”
Taking another sip of tea, Dugu Ce said leisurely,"What kind of place is Luoyang? The place where the elites gathered, the largest and richest city in the world, the center of the world. It was also the place where the top families, aristocratic families, merchants, and rich people gathered.”
Luoyang City's current position in China, and even the entire Earth, was like New York in the United States in Dugu Ce's previous life. It was the center of the world, and everyone, whether they were from their own race or from foreign countries, yearned for the city of heaven!
In fact, in Dugu Ce's previous life, from the Darkhan Dynasty until the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, the center of the world, the City of Heaven, had all appeared in China!
