Chapter 38: Meeting with Jiang Shang
Lin Ruochen waited until the second half of the night before he saw Sima Tan's tired figure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How's it going? Are you hurt?"
Sima Tan shook his head.
"You won?" Lin Ruochen asked again.
Sima Tan still shook his head.
"Is Jiang Shang's kung fu even better than yours?"
Sima Tan finally spoke: "He didn't win either, we are tied! But he promised to see you, and the time is noon tomorrow!"
Lin Ruochen breathed a sigh of relief, first let Sima Tan enter the room to have a good rest, and waited for him to wake up before pulling him to ask what happened.
The next day, before Lin Ruochen reached the door of the Ten Princes, he saw Sima Nan walking out of the room alone. Seeing Lin Ruochen looking over, Sima Nan smiled helplessly.
"Don't you think I'm ruthless? ”
Lin Ruochen shook his head and said to Sima Nan: "You are not ruthless, you are just ......"
Lin Ruochen didn't continue, he didn't know how to evaluate Sima Nan's approach. In his previous life, he gave a lot to his friends and brothers, and he couldn't listen to the advice of others at that time, so he let Xia Chuyan stay alone many times. If it weren't for a series of events that happened later, Lin Ruochen would not have lived again for Xia Chuyan.
"I don't judge you well? Nothing is absolute, as long as you have a clear conscience. ”
Sima Nan didn't expect that Lin Ruochen didn't complain about himself, after all, the life and death of the Ten Princes were directly related to his future.
"Aren't you angry? If something happens to the Tenth Prince, how will you explain to your emperor when you go back?"
Lin Ruochen's tone was firm: "As long as I live, nothing will happen to him, because I will definitely die in front of the Ten Princes!"
"Zhen'er is lucky to have you as a friend!"
Is it lucky? Lin Ruochen didn't know. He only knows that in this life, he is more of a use of the Ten Princes, and he wants to use the identity of the Ten Princes, the trust of the Ten Princes in him, and the power of the Ten Princes.
Lin Ruochen didn't know when he would get sick in this life, if he was plagued by illness like in his previous life, how could he protect Xia Chuyan?
"Mr. Lin seems to have something on his mind?" Seeing that Lin Ruochen was no longer speaking, Sima Nan opened his mouth to interrupt Lin Ruochen's contemplation.
Lin Ruochen nodded: "I'm going to visit a friend now, and I may not be able to come back until later, so the Ten Princes will ask you to take care of it personally." ”
Sima Nan thought for a moment, "If Zhen'er wakes up, where should I let someone go to inform you?"
Lin Ruochen squinted his eyes, and naturally he wouldn't really tell him where he was, so he said the name of a restaurant he accidentally saw on the road.
Sima Nan seemed to believe Lin Ruochen's words and promised Lin Ruochen that he would take care of the Ten Princes.
After Lin Ruochen left, he did not go directly to the agreed place, but instructed Sima Tan to set up a carriage and go around twice at will, and then go to the place designated by Jiang Shang to meet him.
Jiang Shangxuan is a restaurant that looks quite luxurious, with soft cushions on all the stools and delicate tea sets on the table. When someone walks in, the shopkeeper immediately pours hot water and takes care of you to sit down and rest. Not only that, but there are people in the hall singing soothing songs, which makes people feel relaxed after listening to it.
"You're late!" Jiang Shang stared at Lin Ruochen with doubts in his eyes, as if he didn't believe that the underage child in front of him had a way to make Sima Tan admire him.
"I really shouldn't be late for the first meeting, I volunteered to punish three glasses of wine!"
Sima Tan took two steps forward, and Lin Ruochen stretched out his hand to stop him. These three glasses of wine, Lin Ruochen can't let Sima Tan replace them. Waiting for Lin Ruochen to drink all three glasses of wine into his stomach, Jiang Shangcai said slowly: "It's not good for children to drink, if you get drunk next to me, I can't explain it to your parents." ”
"It's a pity that I don't have the love of my parents, and if I really get drunk and unconscious, there will be no more than three people who feel sorry for me. ”
"Oh......" Jiang Shang stretched out his tail tone, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It seems that your popularity is not good!"
Lin Ruochen shook his head: "On the contrary, I feel very content. In this life, I can have three soulmates who really feel sorry for me, and I will die without regrets!"
Lin Ruochen beckoned Sima Tan to sit down with him, and then said to Jiang Shang: "There is another key reason why I have few friends, is Mr. Jiang interested in knowing?"
Jiang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, indicating that he was not interested.
Lin Ruochen didn't care about Jiang Shang's attitude, picked up the wine glass and smelled it, and found that the wine here was indeed not shoddy and inferior wine, a smell of wine slowly penetrated from the end of his nose and his whole body, and his limbs were indescribably relaxed and comfortable. Although I drank three glasses just now, I realized how good the wine was at this moment.
Lin Ruochen took a sip and praised it sincerely: "Good wine! Being able to taste such a good wine today is all due to Mr. Jiang." Why don't I give Mr. Jiang a hexagram for free?"
"Hehe......" Jiang Shang laughed lowly.
Jiang Shang was already beautiful, and when he smiled, two dimples appeared on his white and handsome face, and even the flowers next to him were overshadowed, not only the women present turned their heads, but even the men couldn't help but look at them twice.
Lin Ruochen glanced at the people next to him, and then made a joke to Jiang Shang: "We should choose a private room, otherwise we can only be your foil here!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Ruochen's words fell, Jiang Shang's face instantly became ugly. Seeing this, Lin Ruochen suddenly thought that Jiang Shang had been a little trick, and he had once pleased others by making jokes. So, Lin Ruochen hurriedly changed the topic, lest Jiang Shang brush his sleeves and leave.
"I just said that I want to give Mr. Jiang a hexagram for free, why don't you count Mr. Jiang's past?"
Jiang Shang picked up the wine glass in front of him, neither agreeing nor shaking his head to say no. Sima Tan was about to sit still, and felt that Jiang Shang's shelf was too big, and he was just relying on his relationship with Sima Nan to be so free.
At this moment, Sima Tan forgot Jiang Shang's good skills, and just felt that he was a stinky man who ate with his face and showed off his skills.
Lin Ruochen didn't think so, he didn't despise Jiang Shang because of his past, and he always spoke politely.
"When Mr. Jiang first met the Sima City Lord, the first thing he said to Mr. Jiang was: Are you willing to go with me?"
Jiang Shangmeng raised his head and looked at Lin Ruochen with unblinking eyes, he didn't expect Lin Ruochen to know this. I asked Sima Nan before, even he forgot what the two said when they met for the first time, how did Lin Ruochen know?
Lin Ruochen naturally wouldn't tell him that this was what Jiang Shang told the Ten Princes in his previous life before he died, and the Ten Princes were moved by their love, so after returning to the palace, he told everyone their story. Lin Ruochen happened to be there, so he heard about the whole process and remembered a lot of details.
