Dongluo followed Xue Nianci into the study. Although he had been to Xue Nianci's study many times, he felt different every time.

A few books are casually placed on the shelves, without discipline, but they do not look cluttered and empty. A kind of avenue is minimalist but has a deep charm.

Outside the carved wooden window, there are clusters of purple bamboo, vibrant, verdant and dripping, looking at it from afar, it makes people feel refreshed and happy, and the mood is peaceful.

Under the carved wooden window, there is a few cases, and on the desk is a small hollow incense burner, in which smoke curls and rises straight up. After reaching a certain height, it spreads out, filling the room with a fragrance.

On the door of the study, there is a couplet carved on a wooden board.

Shanglian: The hut is quiet

Downlink: The earth is busy

The five-character pattern and divine will are all there, and the muscles and bones are tough. Rhyme, law, meaning, posture calligraphy four meanings are occupied, between the opening and closing, everyone has become a weather.

The words of the lower link can only be said to be decent, although there is nothing brilliant, but it is far better than some people who are new to writing and ink.

As if feeling Dongluo's very scrutinizing gaze, Xue Nianci said gently: "This couplet was formed by me and Yu Xin in Loulan two years ago. I hung it in my study in Loulan for a long time, and I didn't take it out before, because I was afraid that the little girl would see things and think about my homeland, and a few days ago, she kept urging me to hang it out. So I hung it out, and the handwriting seemed a little unsatisfactory, but I liked it. ”

Dongluo retracted his gaze to look at the couplet, "The quality of a couplet is not the quality of calligraphy, but the wonderful state of mind of seeing heaven and earth and seeing all living beings brought about by the arrangement of the words in the couplet itself." A good writing of a couplet will of course add a few points to the couplet, and of course, a bad one will not damage the charm of the couplet. I also like this couplet. ”

Xue Nianci nodded, "It is precisely this reason, throughout the ancient and modern times, the famous pairs that can be handed down through the ages, although there are a few couplets because of the calligraphy of everyone's fame and fame, but most of them have been passed down through the ages because of the unique charm of the couplets themselves." ”

He sat down by the small stove in the middle of the study, the charcoal in the stove burned silently, and the woody incense mixed with incense complemented each other and complemented each other.

Dongluo picked out a baked persimmon cake from the bamboo basket next to the stove and said while nibbling: "Yesterday, Zhang Baigui left Luoyang with the money he earned from selling and buying mustard stones and went to the far north. I believe that with the help of Uncle Li openly and secretly, he will soon gain a firm foothold in Mobei. I'm not worried about him there, in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, under Uncle Li's push all the way, there will be more and more countries destroyed, and there will be more and more displaced people and defeated troops. I believe that by the time we reach the far north, he has already accumulated a good family background. ”

Dongluo ate the last bit of persimmon in his hand, threw the remaining persimmon stalks into the stove, clapped his hands lightly and said: "I'm most worried about you, these big families have eaten such a big loss, they will definitely not give up, and they haven't come to trouble the Snow Clan yet, it's definitely not that they can swallow this bad breath, they are just making sure of something." For example, who is the Snow Clan's calculation of them? For example, you and me. Before these families really decide to do something to us, they will find out all our roots and roots, and see if there are those people who are thousands of miles away who are really manipulating behind the scenes. I believe that it won't be long before they will be sure of a lot of things, and then they will come to the door. ”

Xue Nianci tilted her head back, her fingers habitually tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair, and a tuk tuk voice came, "Don't worry, in this Luoyang City, they don't dare and don't want to fight with the real sword and gun of the Snow Clan." Zhou Tianzi once ordered the hundred tribes to build a country, and now they all control some kingdoms more or less under the big families in Luoyang City. The reason why these families are reluctant to move away from Luoyang is because they still have some ideas about the throne of the Han king. If they really dare to make a big move in Luoyang City. Not only will they be expelled from the Great Zhou Kingdom, but they will also lose the right to compete for the throne of Han. You have to believe that the temptation of the Eight Kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty is enough to make them soberly pinch their noses and admit this loss. ”

Dongluo asked suspiciously: "Is the throne of a dynasty so valuable?" I don't believe that so many families don't have their own independent cultivation exercises, so they have to choose to send people under the fence. Unless they have water in their heads. ”

Xue Nianci shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what they were thinking.

Dongluo said in a deep voice: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend." Even if they pinch their noses on the surface and admit this big loss, they can't keep it all right, and they will do something unseemly behind their backs. Those who are in high positions are full of bones and bones under their feet. Be careful, there's always nothing wrong with that. ”

Xue Nianci smiled, "There is an elder in my family, who is a meritorious member. I also have a teacher, a pedantic man. It's really not like I'm bragging, as long as I don't leave the Snow Clan, it's not a big problem for them to get on together. ”

Dongluo wanted to speak and stopped, and his face froze.

Looking at Xue Nianci, who was trembling with smiling flowers, Dongluo smiled angrily: "Then you will have a stable back on the pot this time, don't smash it in my hands." There are no elders in my family, and there are no pedantic gentlemen. Some of them are three little beasts waiting to be fed. If you don't hold your back and fall into my hands, when will I kill someone, you won't even have a place to cry. ”

Xue Nianci said in a good voice, "During this time, I will ask Senior Hua Qingyun to protect you closely! Anyway, you can talk about it, I believe he will not refuse." ”

Xue Nianci took out a few more spiritual weapons from the mustard seeds and said, "These are the three-grade fire attribute spiritual weapons that I have carefully selected, which can automatically emit heat, and they can be used to keep it for self-defense." ”

Dongluo looked at the three spirit weapons on the small table next to him that shimmered with fiery red light, glanced at Xue Nianci seriously, and put away the spirit weapons.

A jade pendant, a hand chopper, and a pair of fist gloves.

Dongluo understands that these spiritual weapons are by no means as simple as emitting a little heat, except for the fist gloves, the rest are passive self-defense spiritual weapons. When attacked, it will automatically form a defensive shield, a three-grade spiritual weapon, even if the Shenqiao Realm wants to break it, it will take a lot of effort. And the spiritual weapon that can defend itself without the use of spiritual energy is even more unique in ten thousand, and it can be said that Xue Nianci's gift is very great.

Dongluo silently wrote down this kindness.

Xue Nianci smiled and joked for a while, and then said seriously: "Have you ever thought about it, if you can't see Zhou Tianzi, or if you do, but he doesn't listen to your reasoning?"

Dongluo was silent for a while and said: "When I came to Luoyang, in addition to sending my father's spiritual seat home, I wanted to reason with this Zhou Tianzi, who can eat and. Talk about the 12 Beimang troops to destroy Loulan, Tu Yunzhong, the troops attacked Yumen Pass, and the three hundred soldiers in Weicheng were ready to fight to the death. But then I realized I was wrong. Luoyang City is not my father's home, Chen Mansion is not, and Han Wangfu is not either. My father's home is never here, but in the sea of stars, and I will take him to look for it until I find our home, and then return to my roots. Or until I die in some unknown place. Then I won't look for it. ”

Dongluo continued: "And what about reasoning with Zhou Tianzi! I found that the closer I got to Luoyang City, the closer I got to Zhou Tianzi, the smaller I felt my reasoning. Someone once asked me a question, if a Buddha killed one person to save thousands of people, was he a Buddha or a demon? Now I have found out that they are actually the same kind of people, and there are some things that they must have a reason for choosing to do this. According to an old man's words, they can actually be regarded as people in a book. I'll leave the reason for now, and I won't talk about it. Later, I felt that my reason was big enough, so I came to ask him, why did he ignore the Loulan Kingdom? Why did he give up Yunzhong County? Didn't he know how many people in his Great Zhou Kingdom were like the three hundred soldiers in Weicheng who knew that they would die, and they were happy to die? Aren't these people the people of his Great Zhou Kingdom? Can he ignore their life and death in vain? But it seems that being reasonable is a very unreasonable thing!"

Dongluo said so many words in one breath and let out a long breath. At this time, he really wanted to take a sip of wine, but he didn't have it by his side.

Xue Nianci took out a pot of wine from the mustard seeds and handed it to him.

Dongluo took it and poured it violently.

Hundreds of limbs, crackling. A chill rushed by.

The heart is depressed, and the injustice is loud.

Xue Nianci looked at the young man in front of him who was gulping down wine, and stopped talking.

There are some words that can only be understood by oneself. What others say is useless.

Xue Nianci took out a pot of wine from the mustard seeds again, bumped into the young man, and drank it all.

If you are happy, you have to drink, and if you are not happy, you have to drink.

There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes.

......

In the living room of the Snow Clan, the atmosphere was very depressing and tense.

Xue Youning, who was sitting in the first place, picked up the teacup and swung it gently, the long Taiping Monkey Kui slowly fell to the bottom, Xue Youning took a sip and said: "My father is in retreat, and I can't come to greet you alone, so I will greet you." I don't know what advice you have for coming to my Snow Clan. ”

A person on the right side of Xue Youning gently arched his hand and said, "I don't dare to give advice, it's just that I want to come to your Snow Clan for an explanation." ”

Xue Youning glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke, and said lightly: "Sun Bufan of the Sun clan in Kun District, you and I have no grudges in the past, and no enmity in the near future, I don't know what you want to say when you come to my Snow Clan?"

Sun Bufan snorted coldly and said, "The five shops of my Sun family were looted because of your Snow Clan. Most of the money went down the drain. If you Snow Clan don't give us a satisfactory answer to the clans here today, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

Xue Youning laughed and said, "I want to see what kind of unkind method you have, but don't let me down!"

Sun Bufan was extremely angry. With a cold snort, he turned his head to look out the door.

A middle-aged man in the living room closed the folding fan in his hand and chuckled, "Brother Youning, don't be angry. As far as I know, you Snow Clan has also suffered a lot of losses in this Hongfu Qian Incident! So in the end, we are all victims. Brother Sun, who said nothing, was serious. I'm here today, just to make a sale with you, Brother Youning. There are no other superfluous thoughts. ”

Xue Youning put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the man who spoke with great interest, and said, "Chen Xuanwu, you also know that the one I look down on the most in Luoyang City is your Chen family. If I have the chance, I don't mind destroying your Chen clan at all. Of course, this does not prevent me from selling and buying with you, say, what is selling and buying? But if you can't sell or buy, don't expect me to talk about any benevolence. Bi Jing, I talk to you Chen clan, only talk about selling and buying, not about benevolence and righteousness. ”

Chen Xuanwu was not annoyed, but said to himself: "Half a year ago, there was an incident in Mangshan North Road where a strongman robbed the Snow Clan caravan. Everyone is doing business in Luoyang City, and when I heard about it, I was very angry. Therefore, I invited you to share your worries for Brother Youning. ”

Xue Youning smiled playfully, "It's very sensible to disappear! These Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains, I almost forgot about them, I didn't expect you to inquire very clearly." Tell me, how can you share my worries?"

Chen Xuanwu said with a smile: "You can't even know who is and pee on the top of our heads! I think you Snow Clan will turn a blind eye, I don't know what Brother Youning wants." No matter how you look at it......, this business seems to be a good deal for you!

"I don't do anything that pleases everyone. ”
