Chapter 30: The Shopkeeper
The moment Qingyang took over the lotus platform, the lotus platform suddenly soared and rotated, and the moment the stone turned into gold, a golden light went straight to the sky, and a line of text also appeared above the lotus platform with the light.
The appearance of the text shocked Qingyang, because the text described it was clearly the story that had happened to him over the years.
In the beam of light, several familiar figures appeared one after another, looking at them, Qingyang had mixed feelings, he knew that this might be the last time he saw them, and after the light dissipated, they would leave forever.
A quarter of an hour later, the light of the lotus platform began to slowly dissipate, and the figures gradually disappeared as the light dissipated, and Qingyang watched them leave him, becoming more and more lonely, and at this moment, a pair of hands were held in his hands.
Although it was a pair of cold hands, when he saw the owner of those hands, he felt a trace of warmth in his heart.
Zhuo Xue looked at Qingyang gently, gently held his hand, smiled and nodded. When Feng Yi and Wei Luoyi saw it, they also came together and put their hands on Qingyang's hand.
Qingyang looked at them blankly, his heart was constantly impacted by a warm current, and tears fell unconsciously, but a happy smile appeared on his face.
I used to yearn for immortality, I had time, but I didn't cherish it, I had a lover, but I didn't pay attention to it, I had family affection, but I couldn't protect it, and finally when I was in my last years, I realized that what I had lost was such a luxury.
Now, I don't yearn for heaven anymore, I don't even want to live forever, I don't even know how much time I have left, but I know that there are people who are still waiting for me, and there are things that still need to be done.
"Quack, you know what? You're crying and laughing so ugly. ”
Just when Qingyang was full of emotion, Feng Yi suddenly teased him.
"You fart, you old monster who has the right to talk about others. ”
When Qingyang heard it, he immediately fought back at Feng Yi.
So in the midst of a fight, the four of them returned to the small bamboo house in Qingyang, and after a few small talks, they finally entered the theme of the Songhe Tower master meeting. And when talking about everyone's opponents, Qingyang took the initiative to ask for himself to deal with Kumara.
"I was suspicious that day when you suddenly murdered him, and now it seems that he was the one who killed your daughter. Seeing that Qingyang was so persistent in Kumara, Feng Yi asked.
Qingyang nodded, and put the three bone spurs he carried with him on the table, "Yue'er has been dragging these three bone spurs when she died, and that day in the battle with Kumaro, I was surprised to find that these three bone spurs were completely consistent with the broken part of his beast bone sword, so the real murderer who killed Yue'er must be him." ”
"I see, I see. Feng Yi replied calmly, and then began to tell everyone about his plan.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone after the discussion began to walk back to Suzhou City, and finally arrived at Zhuo Xiao's mansion a few days later.
But after everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Feng Yi quietly went to a place and didn't return to his residence until very late.
The next day, the sky was full of frost and snow, the cold wind was miserable, and the city of Suzhou was snow-white.
The streets were a little populated, and people were reluctant to go out because of the dry weather.
Of course, there are exceptions, and that is the century-old Songhe Tower in Suzhou City.
The century-old brand, fine wine and food, coupled with the annual world number one master conference, make even if the weather is cold and snowy, the Songhe Tower is still overcrowded.
And as today's protagonist, Cheng Xiangru can be said to be full of spring breeze, now that Zhuo Xue is deceased, and Zhuo Xiao has no intention of fighting for power, he really can't think of any reason to make him unable to sit in the position of the world's number one shopkeeper.
"There are half of the three shopkeepers in the world, and the shopkeeper Lu has arrived!"
"The world's No. 4 shopkeeper is in charge, and the shopkeeper is here!"
"The world's fifth shopkeeper Wang flaps his wings, and the king's shopkeeper arrives!"
With the sound of communication, three tall, short, fat and thin men walked into the Songhe Tower side by side, surrounded by the family.
Among them, the one on the right is wearing a green robe, average height, and not confused about his age, which is the fourth shopkeeper Si Shouli, and the one on the left is close to knowing his fate, looking thin and long, with a face like a shoehorn, and it is the five shopkeepers Wang Zhenyi, as for the one in the middle, who is old and knows his fate, has a serious face, has gray hair, is not tall but full of aura, is the third shopkeeper Lu Youban.
As soon as Cheng Xiangru saw them coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet them respectfully, but except for Si Shouli nodding in response, Lu Youban and Wang Zhenyi didn't seem to see it, and walked straight in.
But even so, Cheng Xiangru still sent him off with a smile, and it wasn't until they walked into the crowd to greet other people, and when they couldn't see him anymore, he showed a fierce look.
"Zhuo Xiao, the second shopkeeper in the world, Zhuo is here!"
Hearing the sound of Zhuo Xiao's arrival, Cheng Xiangru, who was still ruthless, suddenly became overjoyed again, patted the dust on his body, and hurriedly greeted Zhuo Xiao, as if he was afraid that he would be slacking off and make her old man unhappy.
Zhuo Xiao slowly approached the Songhe Tower in the crowd of people, unlike usual, she only had two maids with her on weekdays, but today I don't know if it was to increase the pomp or what, she not only arranged four maids, but also arranged two family members, and the battle was much higher than the three just now.
Seeing that Zhuo Xiao's battle far surpassed his own, Lu Youban's face suddenly became bad, and he became angry, "Female streamers, you know all the tricks, what's the use of arranging more people, can you increase your prestige?"
"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper Lu is reasonable. ”
"Lu Lao Gao sees, Lu Lao Gao sees. ”
Hearing Lu Youban's words, Si Shouli and Wang Zhenyi on the side hurriedly agreed.
But after the sycophant was finished, Si Shouli hurriedly came to Zhuo Xiao's side, bowed his hand, and comforted Zhuo Xiao: "What Shopkeeper Lu said just now has no other meaning, and please don't be surprised by Shopkeeper Zhuo." ”
"Of course not, and I didn't hear it clearly. Zhuo Xiao replied with a faint smile, and after a simple gesture to Si Shouli and Cheng Xiangru, he led his people and continued to walk inside.
Seeing Zhuo Xiao leaving, Si Shouli smiled and nodded to Cheng Xiangru, then turned around and returned to Lu Youban's place and chatted with him.
Watching Si Shouli walk away, Cheng Xiangru couldn't help but sneer: This Si Shouli is a person who is half of Lu on the surface, but he keeps showing favor to Zhuo Xiao, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, he can't offend at both ends, and he has one on the wall.
He scolded secretly while going to greet the remaining guests, and when he passed through the place where Zhuo Xiao had passed, he suddenly smelled a fragrance, so he was stunned, because he knew very well that this was the smell of rouge on Zhuo Xue's body.
Cher?No, no, I watched you be buried, no!
Cheng Xiangru panicked, the whole person also twitched, and began to look around, and suddenly found that among the maids following Zhuo Xiao, there was a slender figure, which seemed to be Zhuo Xue.
"Yunyue!" In order to confirm whether that person was Zhuo Xue, Cheng Xiangru shouted loudly.
Hearing his shout, Zhuo Xue almost subconsciously wanted to turn back, but fortunately she was pulled by Wei Luoyi beside her, so that she would not be discovered.
Fearing that Cheng Xiangru would mislead him again, Zhuo Xue buried his head lower, so as not to be discovered by him.
But it was her strange behavior that made Cheng Xiangru notice the abnormality, and walked quickly in the direction of Zhuo Xiao, wanting to take a look.
I saw Cheng Xiangru walking briskly, and quickly grabbed Zhuo Xue, Zhuo Xue didn't expect it, he grabbed him, and then pulled him into his arms.
It's just that Cheng Xiangru didn't have time to see Zhuo Xue's appearance clearly, and another maid recklessly crashed into him and knocked him away from Zhuo Xue again.
Zhuo Xue got out of Cheng Xiangru's control and hurriedly walked in other directions, Cheng Xiangru saw it and hurriedly got up to chase it, but the maid was clumsy and collided with herself, so Cheng Xiangru could only watch Zhuo Xue disappear into the crowd.
Seeing that Cheng Xiangru was about to have a seizure, Zhuo Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the maid aside, and scolded, "What are you doing, how are you so careless, why don't you apologize to Cheng Da's shopkeeper quickly?"
When the maid heard this, she was also very scared, so she hurriedly bent down to apologize to Cheng Xiangru.
Because of the loss of Zhuo Xue, Cheng Xiangru had nowhere to vent his anger, and he was going to slap this maid twice, but as soon as he raised his hand, he looked at Zhuo Xiao on the side with a worried face, thinking that this maid should be very popular with her, so he could only stop, slapped his leg, and then left here angrily and went to find Zhuo Xue.
Seeing Cheng Xiangru leaving, Zhuo Xiao finally let out a sigh, because she knew that if Cheng Xiangru's slap really continued, then the big man behind her who was dressed as a big man would probably slaughter him immediately, because he was going to beat no one else, but Wei Luoyi, the general's beloved daughter.
Seeing that Cheng Xiangru was looking for someone to leave, Zhuo Xiao gave Feng Yi and Qingyang, who were dressed as family members, and received Zhuo Xiao's signal, Feng Yi and Qingyang disappeared into the crowd and began to do things.
Half an hour later, seeing that all the people in charge of the conference had arrived, Cheng Xiangru also began to shout for everyone to take their seats, and after everyone was seated, Cheng Xiangru invited Zhuo Xiao to sit on the main seat, and he sat next to her, and said polite words to all the masters.
He can indeed speak, starting from the fortune of the world, until the accident of the big shopkeeper Zhuotong, speaking with a good appearance and tears, everyone present can not help but feel sad and full of emotion.
Seeing that everyone was brought into their own rhythm, a sly smile flashed on Cheng Xiangru's face, and he cut the topic to the point of today.
"The death of the big boss is regrettable, but the family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and we also need to nominate a respected person to guide us back on track and create brilliance. ”
After hearing him, all the leaders present began to talk about it.
Then under Lu Youban's instructions, Si Shouli stood up and spoke, "Yes, Cheng Dai's shopkeeper Fangcai's proposal is very reasonable, Lu shopkeeper, Wang shopkeeper and Bucai also think that this move is very necessary, but I don't know that according to Cheng Dai's shopkeeper's opinion, who is the most suitable person to sit in this position?"
