"Sorry, the phone you dialed is off, sorry......"

Zhang Xun silently put down his phone.

And then......

He sighed deeply.

"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves. ”

Although I don't know what Gao Shen was delayed by, since he even turned off his mobile phone, he couldn't get in touch.

Zhang Xun immediately prepared for the worst, but still struggled.

He turned on the computer, went to the Q&A community, temporarily registered an account, first found the account of "Mr. Ziyang", and saw that there was no recent speech, so he sent a private message, but there was no reply.

Zhang Xun still didn't give up, and found the account of the "Governor of the Five Armies" again, and sent a private message to Chen Du, but unfortunately it was still lost in the sea.

After looking at the time, there are only a few dozen minutes left.

Zhang Xun sent another WeChat message to Bai Xiang, but Bai Xiang did not respond.

"The roof leak happened to rain overnight. ”

Zhang Xun's mouth was bitter, and he glanced at the time, Yang Wei should be in class at this time, and it was impossible to turn on the mobile phone.

"I just hope that this time the luck is not too bad, I have already made two mistakes, and it will not be three times in a row. ”

Zhang Xun cheered himself up and took the initiative to call out the light curtain, and the national fortune is still at 55%, and the color is orange.

The four points of light at the bottom are not bright, especially religion and public opinion, which are a little dim.

Zhang Xun vaguely understands that although there is 55% left, it does not mean that he has so much to consume, if it falls below a certain level, then the country will inevitably be in turmoil, and I am afraid that a small thing will cause an avalanche of consequences, and correspondingly, when the overall fortune of the country is good, its ability to bear wrong decisions is also stronger.

55% of this progress is actually a bit dangerous, at least, so that he himself is very crisis-conscious.

The sun is just right outside, pedestrians are coming, the river is endless, and the readers in the store are quietly picking up books or reading, and this atmosphere is easy to calm down.

Zhang Xun is like this, when he finally realized that this time he was likely to still play in person, he quietly let go of his clenched hand, and the sweat in his palms slowly dissipated at room temperature.

"Whew. ”

He exhaled the depressed breath in his chest, and his demeanor calmed down.

There is calm in every major event.

This is not just a sentence on the wall of his rental house, but a state he has always longed for.

You can also be anxious beforehand, but once you can't avoid it and you have to face it, you must try your best to calm down so that you can make the most appropriate choice.

"And...... People who learn to be calm will never have bad luck. He whispered to himself, thought about it, walked out slowly, and made himself a cup of tea, and the tea he chose was the one that Gao Shen drank.

After another ten minutes, he finally calmed down.

At this time, a message suddenly popped up on WeChat, which was sent by Bai Xiang, which probably meant that she was in a meeting just now and didn't see the message.

Zhang Xun held the mobile phone and smiled slightly, he knew that his luck would not be bad if he calmed down.

Zhang Xun immediately wrote a text message and told him about the matter, Bai Xiang had the last experience, although he was still confused about his motivation, but he still said happily that if he wanted to ask, even if he sent a message, he would just go out at eleven o'clock, afraid that the time would not be coincidental.

"The time is just right, there are still ten minutes, thank you. ”

Zhang Xun sent this message, feeling a little apologetic, he knew that Bai Xiang was not idle, and he was afraid that he was still busy with work in his hands, so he really shouldn't be disturbed like this, but Boss Bai obviously didn't care about it.

"Now, things are starting to get better. ”

Zhang Xun sat steadily, slowly learning the appearance of Gao Shen and blowing the teacup, the water ripples fluctuated into a ring, rippling slightly, just like his heart at the moment, there were hidden waves in the calm.

He even had the mind to start to wander, thinking that a thermos cup similar to Gao Shen's age should be equipped with Zhao Mingyi's version of the thermos cup, which is the standard for entering middle age, whether it is wolfberry or jasmine yellow flowers soaked in it.

When the tea bottomed out, Zhang Xun glanced at the time and found that it happened to be the last moment.

He suddenly felt a gust of decaying wind blowing from an unknowable place, just like in a dream, blowing the crimson curtains of the main hall.

The light curtain popped up, the words appeared, and the distant bell rang in my mind.

[Ask the King to make a decision: the Chancellor of the Exchequer will meet and say that our kingdom has recovered from disaster and is steadily prospering, and you should ensure that your financial reserves are full to cope with unforeseen disasters.] Ask the king to make a decision, "yes" or "no". 】

[Decision-making time: 5 minutes]

……

This question concerns finances, unlike the previous religion and the military.

Zhang Xun, who had experience, was not in a daze, and immediately typed the content on his mobile phone and sent it to Bai Xiang.

After that, I began to pay attention to the countdown and think about it.

In fact, the moment he saw this problem, Zhang Xun's natural tendency as an ordinary person was revealed, and he almost instinctively tended to be, no matter what aspect, he instinctively felt that the more financial reserves, the better, after all, no matter what kind of disaster to deal with, it would cost money.

The next moment, however, he forced himself to come to his senses, and the last time he vetoed the cardinal's request to build a memorial because he couldn't bear to waste money, he immediately woke up and told himself to be sober and calm.

But after calming down, he realized the difficulty of this decision.

With his current knowledge and insight, he was unable to make an accurate judgment, which did not discourage him, but only made him feel that the road to learning was long and long.

He still needs a lot of time to grow.

But now decisions must be made.

"Hum~"

The mobile phone vibrated slightly, Zhang Xun immediately looked over, and Bai Xiang's answer came.

But what made him breathe was that Bai Xiang's tone was not clear.

"I can't make a judgment on this question for a while, it will take time, but I know that you are in a hurry, if you had to choose, I might choose no, but this choice is not out of thought, but more like intuition, I can't make sense. ”

Zhang Xun's hand suddenly clenched.

Bai Xiang couldn't give a clear answer, but gave advice according to his intuition, which made him hesitate, after all, this is not a joke, it is difficult for him to put the victory or defeat on Bai Xiang's intuition, after all, it is a bit difficult for a strong man.

At this point, there are only about two minutes left.

Bai Xiang only took more than a minute to reply, which just shows her understanding and determination of herself, she understands that she can't think about it in a short time, but she didn't hesitate, but replied in advance very decisively.

The purpose is to leave enough time for Zhang Xun.

"But...... What's the use of having so much time left?" Zhang Xun said with a slightly bitter tongue, his fists clenched and loosened.

Suddenly, at this moment, the landline of the bookstore in the counter suddenly rang.

In this era, there are not many landlines that still use landlines, and there is one here, which is the telephone of the bookstore.

Zhang Xun's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing and frowned, this was the critical moment, he had the intention to ignore it, but an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and his subconscious was urging him to answer immediately.

He didn't understand where the feeling came from, but he complied and picked up the microphone.

"Hey, hello, who's that?"

After a brief silence, a familiar voice came from the microphone: "It's me, Gao Shen." ”

Although the voice looked very weak, it seemed that the quality of the call was not good, but it was indeed the voice of Gao Shen.

Zhang Xun's body immediately straightened, and his eyes lit up.

I only heard the senior staff over there say: "I promised you to come in the morning, but something happened and it was delayed." ”

"It's okay! Now don't talk, listen to me. Zhang Xun saw that the time was getting less and less, so he could only skip the politeness and directly describe the problem at the fastest speed, he really had no time to delay.

At that end, Gao Shen, who had listened to Zhang Xun's narration, fell silent.

Zhang Xun stared at the time, and his breathing gradually became short.

He didn't dare to urge, for fear of interrupting Gao Shen's train of thought, but this was an unspeakable torment for him.

Finally, when there was not much time left, Gao Shen's weak, but extremely firm voice came from the other end of the phone: "No!"
