Chapter 46: Thirty-Seven Open
The capital is cold and slippery, and no one will help you if you fall.
It's a very ironic sentence, but it's the first thing Ma Xingtian heard when he came to this glorious city, so this guy has never fallen except for a bad guy, because he knows very well that if he falls, his own point of no return will end here, and his skeleton can't withstand the toss of the wind and waves in the capital.
A farmer, surviving in such a hot and cold, and then mixing like a dog, Ma Zhutian thinks that this is a thing that he can boast about for a lifetime.
Until that day, a mysterious woman found him, and then gave him a bank card that he had squandered all his life, and then asked him to do a big thing that was destined to cause a sensation in the entire capital.
Because of this amount, he may struggle all his life in the gray circle at the bottom of the capital, and he will not even be able to touch the margin.
Ma Gotian asked tremblingly, why he was chosen.
And the mysterious woman just smiled slightly, and then said that, because he was the most suitable person, she said that in the eyes of Ma Zhutian, who looked honest and mediocre, she saw a madness that a normal person would not have.
In a word, it is a prophecy.
In this river and lake, there is always no shortage of people who want to cause a storm that cannot be cleaned up, perhaps because the old saying that sandpipers and mussels compete for fishermen's profits has been handed down.

In the huge courtyard of the Li family, Li Shuijie reported her meeting with Luo Qingcang with a somewhat gloomy expression.
The more Mrs. Li listened, the more gloomy his expression became, until the end, he almost slapped the table, and he said with a cold face: "Does this Luo Qingcang really not know the height of the sky, or is he underestimating the Li family?"
Li Shuijie looked at Mrs. Li, who was suppressing her emotions, and did not speak, because she thought that the man was not the former, nor the latter, but a demon.
"He had to cooperate first. Li Shuijie said again.
"Cooperation? A guy like him with wolf ambitions won't really cooperate, he's afraid he's eyeing the entire Li family. Mrs. Li seemed to be extremely sensitive to the word cooperation, with a sarcastic expression.
"But the Li family, it's not a good thing to set up such an enemy, Luo Qingcang is now famous in the capital, and this is not just created by deception. Li Shuijie looks a little calmer than Mrs. Li, perhaps because of the overnight precipitation, which has made her accept Luo Qingcang's unreasonable setting.
Mrs. Li said with a sneer: "This kind of big celebrity, I saw a lot back then, and how many of them can live to half of the loess? Since he wants to cooperate, then give him a chance to cooperate, and then find an opportunity to let his ambition end here." ”
Of course, Li Shuijie heard what Mrs. Li meant, and couldn't help frowning and said: "He is a treasure in the hands of the Duan family, if the Duan family really uses this as an excuse to launch a battle, although we don't need to be afraid of a Duan family, but the Duan family is still connected to the Xu family and the Xia family." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Li's expression became solemn, and he squinted his eyes slightly and said, "When the three-character sword disappeared into the capital, it was a good thing that these three major families did not fight, do you think they would still stand on the same front?"
Li Shuijie listened and asked with interest: "How are these three-character swords related to these three families, why did the three families of Xu Duanxia, who were originally grasshoppers on the same line, break up, and what is hidden during this period?"
Listening to this, Mrs. Li seemed to fall into a deep memory, this is a story that has passed for about thirty years, even if he has reached the age of ninety-four, his head has become cloudy, and he has even forgotten most of his past, but for such a story, he still has a deep memory.
"Old lady..."Li Shuijie saw that Mrs. Li was still stuck in memories and couldn't extricate herself, and couldn't help but call, she was already in a hurry.
Mrs. Li came back to his senses, he looked at Li Shuijie who was looking curious, just opened his mouth, and was about to tell such a story, but he realized something, maybe for him, he thought that burying such a story in the loess was the best ending, he silently shook his head and said: "Knowing all this, it is not good for you, you don't need to know all this, now no one in the entire capital has mentioned it anymore, let this story be completely forgotten." ”
Li Shuijie asked with some reluctance: "Is it really so evil?"
"That's something you can't imagine, it's not something you can covet, and now you need to put your mind to the wedding. "Mrs. Li didn't plan to tell Li Shuijie such a story that had caused the biggest storm in the capital.
Li Shuijie was a little disappointed, but finally accepted it silently, nodded slightly, and prepared to leave.
It's just that Li Shuijie just took two steps, and Mrs. Li stopped Li Shuijie, and then asked: "Make an assumption, put aside the Li family behind you, put aside the Duan family behind Luo Qingcang, just let you fight Luo Qingcang, do you think you have a chance of winning?"
Li Shuijie stopped, her expression slowly became heavy, I have to say that this is a question that she already has the answer in her heart, but she doesn't want to be asked by others.
She was just silent, and Mrs. Li was not in a hurry, just waiting for her answer.
"I think I only have three points to win. Li Shuijie finally sighed and said.
"There you go. Mrs. Li said in a calm voice, I couldn't tell if I was disappointed, or relieved.
Li Shuijie left silently, and Mrs. Li just sat at the tea table, and the face that was so old that there were wrinkles in the wrinkles did not show anything, and I couldn't see whether it was joy or sadness.
And Li Shuijie, who left the teahouse, did not choose to leave directly, but stood in the courtyard and looked up at the gray starry sky, her expression was extremely complicated, she didn't even know why she said three points, in fact, she understood extremely well that when she said three points herself, in a sense, she had already lost the battle with Luo Qingcang.
Although her heart was full of countless unwillingness, when she recalled the meeting with Luo Qingcang, she couldn't find any flaws in that man's words and deeds, and a subtle expression, and even made her feel a little involuntary in such a state of affairs, so in her heart, Li Shuijie instinctively had a deep taboo.
It's like one wolf meets another, and although the two sides are evenly matched, the only difference is that the wolf on the other side is already hungry to the point of ferocity.
This kind of frustration made Li Shuijie ignore the story that Mrs. Li wanted to speak just now, but she didn't say it in her throat.
A phone call was turned on at this time, she took out her phone and looked at the caller number, and then connected.
"Sister, the Lijing Hotel has already negotiated. A young man's voice came from the other side.
After a few unsatisfactory bad things happened one after another, this is rare good news, Li Shuijie showed a smile on her face, nodded and said, "The best security measures should be used." ”
"I understand this, they are all professionals, and I absolutely guarantee that not even a fly will come in that day. The young man across from him said, and although it sounds extremely exaggerated at first glance, it is also true.
"I don't want to listen to big talk, I'll go there myself tomorrow. Li Shuijie said, silently hung up the phone, although she was very relieved about Li De's affairs, but now it is different from the past, she must make sure that there is nothing wrong, after all, how many big people in the capital will be present at the wedding, if there is really any accident, let alone her, even the entire Li family, can not afford it.
“OK。 Li De said on the other side, and then hung up the phone,
Li Shuijie walked away quickly, as if she had thought of something, turned around and walked in the opposite direction, until she walked to the other side of the huge courtyard.
This huge courtyard, from east to west, the deepest part is Mrs. Li's room, and then the core of the Li family, the more west, the more marginalized, although the separation is just a wall, but what does this apology represent, Li Shuijie knows that this is a wall that is difficult to overcome for some people in the Li family for a lifetime.
And Li Fusheng, as a junior, lives in the westernmost part of the world, and it is also the place where people move around the most, because it has now reached the depths of the night, so Li Shuijie did not meet any annoying relatives along the way, when she came to the door of Li Fusheng's room, she saw at a glance Mu Feng, who was guarding the door, with such a door god, I am afraid that Li Fusheng wants to leave this courtyard, the probability is infinitely close to zero.
Mu Feng, who was just shallow with his eyes closed, heard the movement, slowly opened his eyes, and after finding that it was Li Shuijie, he nodded slightly at Li Shuijie.
"People in there?" Li Shuijie smiled back in the form of Mu Feng, and then said.
Mu Feng nodded.
Li Shuijie was not polite, knocked on the door directly, and then opened it.
The room looks extremely simple, and the only decoration is estimated to be just a bookshelf full of all kinds of books, and Li Fusheng, the groom official of this family wedding, looks like he is sitting at the desk writing something in a very decadent manner, raised his head and saw the person coming, and immediately rubbed the things he wrote into a ball, and then threw it directly into the trash can, vigilantly looked at Li Shuijie, who was standing at the door, looking at himself with a bedbug expression, and said, "Something?"
Li Shuijie looked Li Fusheng up and down, this young man who might become the backbone of the Li family, now seems to have lost all his sharpness, she found the decadence exuded by Li Fusheng's bones, and then couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, she said coldly: "How can I say that I am also your sister, is it appropriate to put on this expression?"
Li Fusheng was not moved by Li Shuijie's words, because he knew very well how this woman's transcendent status in the Li family was obtained.
What she stepped on was the bones of the Li family, an emotionless snake.
