Chapter 136: Breathing Heartache
He knew she had other plans, and he was sure of it.
Chen Qiuniang only felt a chill on her back. The young man in front of him is really unusual.
She had gotten along with him a few times before, and when she was in Liucun, she only felt that this young man had a smart mind, but she couldn't jump out of the world's empty eyes, arrogant, shallow, and self-righteous. Later, when they met in Zhuxi Mountain, they also felt that although he had the upper hand, the strategists around him were like clouds, coupled with the strength of the big family, it would not be amazing in any case.
But now it seems that his original judgment was more or less wrong. This man is extremely intelligent. He is calm and wise, he can see through people's hearts, and he can see the long-term, others can see a hundred steps, he can see what happens after a hundred steps, and he can also see the possible crisis in each step of a hundred steps, and he can see the overall situation at a young age.
Such wisdom is still so young, he is in charge of the entire Zhang family, and he has large-scale advanced weapons of destruction. Such a person, if anyone is an emperor, will wake up from his dream every night, let alone the suspicious Zhao Kuangyin.
Approximately, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly.
Then, just after he was discovered by the surveillance forces, he began to be hunted down and killed in various ways. How old is that? How many years have it been?
Chen Qiuniang looked at the man in front of her, a little distracted.
"Since it's a collaboration, don't you want me to know about your plan?" Still sitting at his desk, he saw that she didn't mean to answer, so he asked again.
Chen Qiuniang retracted her thoughts, shook her head, and said, "I don't have any plans. ā
Her purpose was not to get rid of the Zhu family, add unnecessary trouble to him, and disrupt his overall plan. She only needs to be able to balance Zhu Wenkang's power, and the rest is for her to play wantonly, and then the golden cicada will come out of her shell and get rid of these people.
Including the one in front of you. Although I thought that I would never see him again in the future, and I couldn't have anything to do with him. She felt a little sad in her heart, but she felt that this was the best. Therefore, she must not let Zhang Ci know about her plan.
Zhang Ci lowered his eyes, sighed, and said, "You just said that only I can trust." I see that you don't trust anyone. ā
"What Fang just said is the truth." Chen Qiuniang replied calmly, with an indifferent expression.
"Your plan, then." Zhang Ci said very plainly, but there was an irresistible order in his tone.
Chen Qiuniang still shook her head and said, "I really don't have any plans." I just want to rescue Chai Yu, don't marry Zhu Wenkang. ā
"It's very simple to rescue Chai Yu, but you don't want to marry Zhu Wenkang, you can marry another person, you don't have to do anything." Zhang Ci's tone was very strict. It seems that he wants to force Chen Qiuniang to be cornered.
"Marrying someone else? Seems to be doable. But the other party is Zhu Wenkang, I can't bring unwarranted disasters to the people around me, let alone harm the person I want to marry. The Zhu family had business in every state capital, and in the chaotic years of the past, they were able to bring back leather goods from the north. Do you believe that the Zhu family is an ordinary businessman? Who supported the rise of the Zhu family. Obviously, as I said before, only the imperial court has such great ability. Second son, who should I marry to compete with Zhu Wenkang? What if it doesn't bring unwarranted disaster to my husband's house? Chen Qiuniang said with a smile, her tone becoming more and more aggressive.
Zhang Ci frowned, looked at her, and said, "The Zhu family is powerful, but I don't care about it yet." ā
"Are you going to marry me?" Chen Qiuniang wanted to ask this, but she didn't ask. Because she knew that since Zhang Ci broke off with her in front of everyone, there was no reason to marry her, not to mention that Zhang Ci was a person with a marriage contract.
So, Chen Qiuniang looked at Zhang Ci like that, and said a little lonely: "The second son is a dragon and a phoenix, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to it." But how many people in the world can be like the second son? Even if there is, don't say that I am a village girl, people don't look down on me, even if I do, why should I bring risks to others? Therefore, the second son's words were laughing. ā
"You-" Zhang Ci seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything at all, but he looked very unhappy.
Chen Qiuniang didn't try to figure out his thoughts, but said: "Now that I have come, I only hope that the second son can help me, and I will leave the rest to me." ā
Zhang Ci still had a black face and said, "I know many generals from famous families, even the Jiang Fan family is very big. No matter how bad it is, there is still Lu Chen. ā
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Childe, you're just messing up." Knowing that the Zhu family is behind the imperial court, how can you not know that Zhu Wenkang married me this time with the intention of the imperial court? ā
"Why did you come to see me when you knew it was possible?" Zhang Ci was very unhappy, and his face was as black as the sky with an approaching storm.
Chen Qiuniang didn't know what she meant for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, she was in a cold sweat. Zhang Ci means that if Zhu Wenkang really wants to marry her at the will of the court, then in addition to her possible identity as the princess of the dead country, there may also be the intention of testing Zhang Ci, and now that she has come here, isn't she falling into the other party's trap.
"Iā" She was speechless for a moment, eager to retreat at once. But when she thought of Chai Yu's situation, she felt that she had to come this time. So he plucked up his courage and said, "I have to come, at least for Chai Yu." ā
"For him?" Zhang Ci's face was even more gloomy.
"Yes. No matter what his identity is, even if it is a conspiracy of the imperial court or the Zhu family. He lives quietly in the Zhu family, even if he will be abused from time to time, but he will not risk his life. However, because of your presence, in order to deliver a letter for you, and because of my selfishness, I intervened in his life, so that he almost lost his life for me last time. Now, because of me, his life is in danger. In the final analysis, it is because of you and me that he has suffered the unjustified disaster he is suffering today. Chen Qiuniang pointed out word by word. She had thought before she came here that if Zhang Ci wanted to stand by and watch, she would at least win a little bit of life for Chai Yu.
"So?" Zhang Ci's voice was very soft, and there was an inexplicable sarcasm in his tone, and even there was a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Chen Qiuniang ignored the smile, bravely looked at his sarcastic eyes, and said, "The last time you saved me, you paid off my love for sending a letter for you." But it was Chai Yu who really sent the letter to Zhang's house, and Zhang Gongzi was also a person who knew how to repay his kindness. Moreover, Chai Yu's identity is special, and the prestige of Chai Rong of the Great Zhou royal family is still there. Chai Yu is in your hands, and if you play against others, you will have a greater chance of winning. ā
Zhang Ci snorted coldly from his nose and said, "Do you know that Chai Yu is not a bureau? ā
Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was also possible for Zhang Ergongzi to say this, she couldn't say more. just looked at Zhang Ci very calmly and said, "Then, disturb the second son." ā
"You knew this was the end of the day, and you shouldn't have come. I can live to this day, that is, I have never cooperated with anyone, and I will not care about anyone's life or death. I never need any good qualities of gratitude and retribution, and I am not afraid of any leisurely people, I don't care what kind of reputation I have, those are all false. Only by surviving is it real. And truth is the only pursuit. Chen Qiuniang, you said you trusted me, but you didn't know me at all. Zhang Ci was still sitting on the dark wooden chair, her expression and tone were all sarcastic, and the faint smile on her face seemed to be sarcastic, and her whole person was ridiculous.
Chen Qiuniang knew that what he said was true. For a person who has been hunted down since childhood, it doesn't matter what discipline or lower limit it is, the important thing is to live. As for who to trust or something, it's also nonsense. In this process, the only one who can believe is yourself. However, Chen Qiuniang remembered that night in Zhuxi Mountain, when he was seriously injured, he tried his best to protect her behind him.
He said he never cared about anyone's life or death. When Chen Qiuniang thought of this, she felt that it was actually a very cruel thing for Zhang Ci to come here. If he agrees to cooperate with her, there are countless variables and risks. But he is actually a very fragile and contradictory person in his heart, if he doesn't agree, the whole person will be very entangled.
Chen Qiuniang looked at the young man in front of her, and the pain in her heart was overwhelming. For the first time, she felt so sorry for a person that she felt so distressed that she felt that her breath would hurt.
He can't be embarrassed anymore. Chen Qiuniang thought, so she bowed to Zhang Ciyingying and said, "Thank you Gongzi for being willing to see me today, Qiuniang said goodbye." ā
"Wait." Zhang Ci stood up.
Chen Qiuniang thought that things had taken a turn for the better, so she stood there and waited for the following. But the next moment, Zhang Cilang shouted: "Come on, fork out." ā
At first, Chen Qiuniang didn't realize what she meant when she heard this, but after about a few seconds, she suddenly realized that Zhang Ci was asking people to fork her out.
Sure enough, several black-clothed people immediately flashed in outside the door, holding spears, and surrounded Chen Qiuniang, and then, Jiang Hang appeared, as if he didn't know Chen Qiuniang, stretched out his hand and twisted her hands back, took the ribbon and tied it neatly, and said: "To treat women, we are polite to use ribbons." ā
"Zhang Ci, buying and selling is not benevolent, are you so vicious? You invited me in, do you treat guests like that? Chen Qiuniang turned her head to look at Zhang Ci who was standing at the desk and shouted.
Zhang Ci glanced at her, as if he was very disgusted, and said: "This girl actually dares to come and set a trap on me, throw it at my speed, and dare to appear near Zhang's mansion in the future, and beat her to death." ā
"Yes." The group of men in black immediately took action, without pity for the weak, let alone pity for the jade. He carried Chen Qiuniang out of the yard. Fortunately, Jiang Hang still had a little conscience, and instructed the gang of men in black, saying, "It's better to be careful, don't hurt yourself, and tell the truth." ā
The men in black replied in unison: Yes.
Chen Qiuniang's heart can be regarded as falling, otherwise she has been worried that they will carry her like this, except for the door for a while, she will not fall apart as a whole.
However, she didn't end much well. Although she didn't throw it, the men in black still threw her out of the door rather roughly, and she fell to the ground before she could stand still.
"Your uncle, Zhang Ci." She scolded, covered her sore knee, limped up, and saw the red lacquered door of Zhang's mansion closed.
His uncle, this man is really moody, and he doesn't play cards according to reason. Since then, Chen Qiuniang's negotiations with Zhang Ci have collapsed, and the distress she had for him before has disappeared in an instant.
People are right, right. In this world, you really have to rely on yourself. Chen Qiuniang limped out of the alley. RS
