499 Happy Birthday to Me
Knowing that he could not touch the old man in front of him, Leyu stood up. He glanced at the desk and suddenly found something: "What kind of newspaper is this?"
"Hmm?" Zhuyan glanced at it: "War Report, published by the Statistics Department...Don't you usually read newspapers?"
I usually only read the "Humacher Moment" column... Leyu picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was full of the mobilization of troops from various districts. Then I knew why I hadn't read this newspaper - it was too boring.
This thing is equivalent to the side information bar of the Three Kingdoms game, but there is not even a map. Is it all based on my brain to make up for it?
"You can get a white box when you fight the war report. There is basically no need to sell it outside. The statistics department will only give it to specific institutions." Zhu Yan said: "If you want to see it, you can take it. Just remember to return it to the white box."
"No, I'll just take a look."
Leyu looked at Dongyang's message first, and his eyes were blinded.
The battle report is divided into two sections: one is the report of local spy personnel. The spy personnel report the briefing every five days, and all together are the report of this month. Among them, these spy personnel are basically local tyrants; the other is the summary of the Statistics Department.
So this is the paragraph:
On the sixth day of November, the weak and ignorant mob encountered obstacles in Cishang Village.
On November 11, the mobs burned, killed, looted, marched into Diping Pass.
On November 16, rebels surrounded the county of Midsummer.
On November 22, Huyan Siluo's army occupied the Tianying Gate.
On November 29, the elite troops of Wanghai Palace captured Kingdee County.
"The Statistics Department evaluated: They had almost no resistance and surrendered directly."
Because the newsletter cannot be changed after being reported, there are many such large-scale embarrassing links in the battle report, which makes Leyu amazing.
In this way, Bai Ye should have recovered the entire Dongyang territory. Qing Lan said before that she would come to Yanjing as long as the road was safe. Now there is no good reason to refuse her...
After watching Dongyang, Leyu opened the page of Chenfeng. He didn't want to pay attention to Lan Yan, but just wanted to find a reason to set off fireworks, such as Lan Yan was attacked by Bai Ye assassin while shitting...
"Lan Yan led the Linhai Army into the Canglan District and wanted to conduct joint military exercises with the Blood Source Army."
"Statistics Department evaluates: There must be something strange about this."
Joint military exercises? What a familiar excuse.
When Leyu put down the battle report and was about to leave, Zhuyan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the matter you entrusted me to investigate before."
Le Yu was stunned and immediately reacted: "Holy Sword Huiyao? Have you found the results of the investigation?"
"No."
"Then why are you mentioning this?"
"Since I agree, I have to report it to you." Zhuyan said: "In fact, I have searched all the classics, records, and historical books in the past two months. Even if I give me more time, there will be no more results."
"The incident you said about 'cancel the holy sword hanging in the air' has never happened in history." The old man sighed: "I don't know how Qin Xiao investigated it back then... If you ask me to investigate this kind of information, it is as unrealistic as digging out water from the air."
"Thanks a lot."
"Don't be busy thanking you for now." Zhuyan took out a book from the drawer: "Since the requirement is unrealistic, I can only investigate through unrealistic ways - the method of canceling the hanging of the holy sword. I only found some clues in this book."
Seeing this familiar book, Leyu suddenly became silent.
It is Huiyao’s first dragon and astronomy——"Chronicle of Emperor Gaozu"
He sighed and said, "To be honest, I have read "The Chronicle of Emperor Gaozu" over and over again. I don't remember any similar content recorded in it."
"Some." Zhuyan turned to one of the pages: "Look at this paragraph I marked."
"...I hold on to the meaning and be strong, but I feel the dream and communicate with the spirit. The original beauty of the decoration is bright, but the hearts of the people and the holy glory..."
Leyu blinked his eyes and looked at Zhuyan, and Zhuyan looked at him expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry, I read the modern version of Youth, I can't understand this ancient text."
Zhuyan was silent for a moment: "You have time to go to Teacher Wei's ancient Chinese class."
"The general translation of this passage is, 'I practiced with great concentration because of my upholding justice, and I understand everything in my dreams. The radiance of the Holy Sword is just an unnecessary decoration for me. The direction of my efforts is the will of the people and the followers of the saints'. The version you see should be translated in this way."
"But "一" is rarely used to point to "me", but more to "he". This passage is described by Emperor Gaozu of the Holy Sword Huiyao. If "一" is translated as "he", it will become 'Glory is just an unnecessary decoration for the Holy Sword, and the hearts of the people and the saints are the essence of the Holy Sword'."
Leyu: "I still don't understand, you might as well tell the conclusion directly."
"The way to cancel the holy sword hanging in the air may be the people's hearts and the saints." Zhuyan: "This is the only information I have found these days."
The music was speechless: People's hearts? Does he want to collect people's hearts and improve national satisfaction? Then he has to add a civilization series system to him, and the star series can be as well.
Saint? Where can I find a saint to offer sacrifices? And isn’t a saint called honorary title? Can I still change my job?
"No matter what, I have worked hard to build the teacher."
Leyu thanked him respectfully and closed the door and left.
Zhuyan went over to lock the door, took out the cigarette from the cigarette box and held it in her mouth, took out the flint to light it, and took a breath and choked and coughed.
"I still don't understand, what does this mean..." He shook his head, shook off the ashes, then took it over and opened the balcony door and threw the cigarette into the brazier.
"Happy birthday."
...
...
When he arrived at the sunny Wanxiang Forest, Leyu saw that Shi Wen was the only one who was boxing today, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Where is Lai Ya?"
Shi Wen said honestly: "She finally thought of a way to make the dessert that the director wanted. She kept fiddling all noon. Now she will take the dessert to the director first."
"What about you?" Leyu sat down and asked, "Do you have no indication of the director taking care of you like this?"
After spending time together, Leyu also found that the director of the White Box Library took good care of these two disabled people. Shi Wen did not mention it and directly arranged a position for him with more money and less trouble. Although Lai Ya helped in the canteen, he often called Lai Ya to make desserts, which also vaguely stated that Lai Ya's backstage was him, so the people in the canteen kitchen would naturally not be difficult for Lai Ya.
After all, the director's surname is Cha.
"Hmph, I'll help him fight back if anyone bullies him in the future!" Shi Wen said arrogantly.
"What if no one bullies him?"
"That means that everyone respects him because they fear me."
"Very good, Shi Wen!" Leyu praised: "You have already achieved the true teachings of your teacher!"
"Really?" Shi Wen, a teenager, suddenly became excited by the praise.
"Really!" Leyu pulled out his belt: "You are more shameless than me! Seeing you are so shameless, I feel a little itchy. It just so happens that Lai Ya is not here. Let's have something fresh today..."
...
...
White box, curator's office.
"Director, how about it!" Laiya asked confidently.
Cha Shiyin was holding a small plate, and there was a pagoda-shaped egg-yellow dessert on it. When Cha Shiyin dug it with a spoon, the pagoda shook it 'duangduang'. He closed his eyes and took a bite, then put the dish down.
Hearing the sound, Lai Ya was a little disappointed: "Is it still not possible? I obviously think it is very close to the kind of dessert you described by the curator..."
"No."
Cha Shiyin smiled and said, "This is the dessert I have eaten before. Lai Ya, thank you, I really haven't tasted this taste again in a long time. When I was a child, one of my birthdays, my elder brother invited me to this dessert, and I will never forget this taste in my life."
"That's great!" Lai Ya said excitedly: "Director, can I make this dessert in the canteen? I think everyone should know such delicious things."
"sure."
"What's the name of this dessert?"
"Name?" Cha Shiyin blinked: "I think about it, because it's really a bit long... Well, I think it's better for you to give another name, its original name is very strange."
Lai Ya: "What is the original name?"
"pudding."
"...It's really strange. There's no cloth or a small one."
"Right." Cha Shiyin smiled and said, "You can name it yourself, such as milk eggs. Or you can name it by your own name, then your name will be left in history."
"Even if you can really keep your name in history, you should be the director. I only made this dessert according to your description." Lai Ya said modestly.
"You'd better come on, I'm not interested in the history of the name." Cha Shiyin said: "Speaking of it, don't you have to go to class in the afternoon?"
"Ah! Then I'll go to class!" Lai Ya hurriedly left: "Goodbye, Director!"
Cha Shiyin slowly finished the dessert with a bite. He closed his eyes, savored the sweetness and milky aroma on his tongue, and exhaled a long breath.
Chapter completed!
