From a freeloader to a world leader

Zhang Yushan looked at Sun Shan, who was wearing a light grey linen shirt and carrying a long sword on his back, unlike his usual appearance of a scholar wearing a blue shirt and holding a paper fan, and he couldn't help laughing.

This suit was designed by Sun Shan himself.

It's already June and the weather is getting hotter.

He wears a sand-jacket 24 hours a day and is already as hot as a dog.

I had to imitate this knight suit based on some ancient knight costumes I saw on the Internet in my previous life. The suit has separate upper and lower parts and is relatively loose, so it can cover the sand-lined clothes on the body.

You know what, after all this preparation, Sun Shan looked like he had a sword on his back, and he really looked a bit like the knights in ancient costume movies, roaming the world, handsome and unrestrained.

Zhang Yuliang's eyes widened as he stared at it. He kept saying it was beautiful and he wanted to order a set immediately.

There's nothing you can do about it. If you're handsome, you'll look good in anything you wear.

Of course, the reason why Sun Shan carried a sword was not just to become a commander.

In order to prepare for the upcoming martial arts novel "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", I want everyone to accept my new image in martial arts in advance, and more importantly, for self-protection.

Although, it is unlikely that fighting scenes will occur in Tianxiang Teahouse.

But what if?

Sun Shan was naturally not as confident in swordsmanship as he was in boxing and kicking, but when he was in the special forces, he did practice long sword and short sword skills for a period of time.

After a few years, and with the understanding of boxing and kicking, he became proficient in everything. After practicing in Hengzhou Prefecture, he was able to do it quite well.

As for his actual combat power, Sun Shan himself was not sure.

However, in the world of martial arts, the only way to be defeated is speed.

When Sun Shan was practicing, he didn't do too many fancy moves. He just practiced two movements: drawing the sword and sheathing the sword.

Just like Fu Hongxue in Gu Long's novel, the only movements of his hands were to draw and retract the sword.

This made Zhang Yuliang, who wanted to learn from him, sneer.

He thought that Sun Shan's swordsmanship was tasteless and had no aesthetic appeal.

In fact, Sun Shan could certainly make his sword moves more fancy. After all, dancing and sword dancing are similar.

At about 9:00 in the morning, when Sun Shan, dressed in knight's clothes and carrying a long sword, and Zhang Yushan crossed West Street and walked towards Tianxiang Teahouse, they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by along the way.

Even the shop assistants along the way called out their companions and customers from the shops to watch the fun.

Although Sun Shan seldom appeared on the streets, his name and his story had swept across the entire Hengzhou city like a tide.

Not to mention the residents and merchants living near Jun Youlai Restaurant, even Yang Yuanqing, the King of Hengshan (I don’t like this name, but I just picked it for the sake of easy remembering), who lived in seclusion in the Hengzhou Palace, knew his name, as well as some of the stories and songs he told.

They even secretly sent people to learn.

"Is this Mr. Sun? He looks so cute like this!"

"It's Mr. Sun. I went to see him perform yesterday. He sang really well!"

A man who had watched the performance of Sun Shan and Zhang Yuliang yesterday, in order to show that he had seen Sun Shan's performance with his own eyes, learned a song on the spot: "I have walked through thousands of mountains and experienced so much hardship before I could return to your side. Has the face you are waiting for changed? To welcome me, exhausted and dusty-----"

Unfortunately, before he finished his performance, another man who had also watched it confronted him: "What are you singing? The scholar's singing is so much better than yours, how can he sing with such a weird accent!"

"You! I'm not going to stop following you-----"

Just when the two were about to start fighting over Sun Shan's singing method, someone else tried to persuade them to stop.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. It's rare to see a scholar go out. I don't know what he's doing with a sword on his back."

Now, everyone became curious, and some nosy people shouted, "Let's go and see what the scholar is doing!"

After a while, a large group of people followed Sun Shan.

Among them, there are quite a few women.

All the ladies were like crazy fans, staring at Sun Shan's back, which was as tall and straight as a green pine tree, without looking at the road.

Staring at his ponytail, which was about half a foot long and swayed left and right with his steps, sweeping over his shoulders and across the scabbard of his sword.

Zhang Yushan was secretly surprised and looked back. There was an increasing number of people. Although he did not count them carefully, he felt that there were about four or five hundred people.

The father and son of the Wang family, who were sitting by the window, saw the crowd rolling towards the Tianxiang Teahouse like a dark cloud, and looked at Sun Shan and Zhang Yushan, who were walking in the front like the leading horses, in a leisurely manner.

His mouth opened wide, first in surprise, then in panic.

At first they thought Sun Shan was bringing people to cause trouble, but after thinking about it carefully, they were afraid of Sun Shan's influence.

How long has he been in Hengzhou Prefecture?

Probably less than a month?

What if we allow him to continue to develop and pass the imperial examination?

Thinking of this, the Wang family father and son looked at each other, with deep murderous intent in their eyes.

This made Xie Meiyu, who was intervening and watching from the sidelines, watch silently.

Tian Yuzhu, the owner of Tianxianglou, saw Sun Shan approaching from afar. He was also one of Sun Shan's fans. Seeing Sun Shan's brand new look today, he was overjoyed and came out to greet him.

He cupped his hands and said, "Scholar from the mountains, welcome to our cold restaurant. Please come in!"

"Manager Tian, ​​you are too polite. I am sorry to bother you today as I am borrowing your precious land to discuss some matters." Sun Shan clasped his fists in a dashing manner, performing the swordsman salute that is popular in this world.

Tian Yuzhu, who had seen Sun Shan perform at least six or seven times, was very surprised. He led him into the teahouse and asked curiously, "Scholar, are you planning to perform knight-errant plays in the future? Do you have a new play?"

"Haha, that's about right. We'll prepare a new story of knights in two days. Don't forget to go and watch it, Shopkeeper Tian."

"Definitely go, absolutely go!"

Shopkeeper Tian agreed readily. After seeing Sun Shan's performance, he suddenly found the old operas that he used to love watching boring.

Although Shanzhong Xiucai also has old opera performances of this era, his adaptation and singing make them many times better than those old tunes that have made our ears calloused.

As for their appearance and clothes, let alone their appearance.

The singing skills and movements are a pleasure to watch and listen to, just like appreciating a walking landscape painting.

The operas in this world can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the passionate stories of martial arts, and the other is the love stories between scholars and ladies from noble families.

In addition, there are some less popular ones, such as the ghost stories from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio that Sun Shan told for the first time.

It’s just that the literature and art of this world are not very developed, and even poetry has been inexplicably castrated by time and space, and lacks the charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As for novels, stories, and operas, they are even lower level.

The stories written by those scholars simply did not have much realistic logic, just like the grudges and love-hate stories about wealthy families written by middle school students a thousand years later. He had never seen them before and did not even have room for imagination. How could they stand up to the scrutiny of reality?

Speaking of this, I find it funny that some writers write about a domineering CEO, and they only say that the protagonist is worth tens of millions, and he takes the heroine to eat at Deji, and generously packs ten meals at a time.

It really makes people laugh out loud.

And no matter whether Sun Shan plagiarized from stories thousands of years later or told contemporary stories, he always combined them with contemporary backgrounds, trying to be close to life as much as possible, yet transcending life.

Therefore, the audience will feel that it is very real and suits their taste.
