Volume 1 War of the Gods Chapter 72 Fate
Chapter Seventy-One: Fate
After the catharsis, as if some kind of shackles had been opened, Su Wen completely let go of himself and lay on the sofa next to him. A truly magical day will make you worse than dead, and sadness will flow backwards, and then it will give you a frenzy and excitement that you have never had before. In addition to love, it turns out that there are also affectionate and wonderful things in life.
The storm just now was actually just a manifestation of his emotions after falling out of love, but Jenny didn't regret it, gently soothed his forehead, lowered her head and gently blew away the messy hair on her face. "Don't think too much, don't be responsible. As he spoke, he pushed into the bathroom, "Take a shower, take a shower, it's almost rancid." Su Wen was still fumbling with the shower switch, she leaned in again, and took a towel in her hand, "Don't bully me, I'll help you." Kind, she underestimated her charm and the physical strength of her youth, and also abandoned her false illusions about spirit and flesh, and completely fell into the most real pleasure in front of her. When she got up the next morning, she felt a sore back, and she was as tired as if she had fallen apart, and she saw in the mirror her young, pretty, but red face like a little girl, and cursed him in a low voice, but she didn't pay attention, and there was no blame in the scolding, but there was a trace of tenderness.
Ending the absurd and presumptuous recklessness, the doorbell just rang. Jenny thought the child was back and went to open the door in a panic. Su Wen's hair hadn't dried yet, and he also wanted to avoid embarrassment, so he went to the balcony to smoke.
It wasn't the nanny and the child who came, it was a man who listened to the voice. At first, the two of them just lowered their voices and spoke. After a while, his voice became rapid and high-pitched. Suddenly, Jenny retreated into the door, and Su Wen saw a fair-skinned man wearing gold wire glasses holding Jenny's hand and kneeling in front of Jenny. I can't hear the voice clearly, and I can roughly tell that it is an apology, a tearful confession... Hope to be able to get back together... Hearing this, Su Wen became irritable.
Hearing that this man was the father of the child, Su Wen was patient and did not interfere. Until Jenny suddenly burst into tears and shouted to him hysterically: "Su Wen, help me, I don't want to see this scumbag again!"
Seeing a male cheetah jumping from the balcony, the man in gold-wire glasses was frightened and stood up. Dodging Su Wen's sharp eyes, he said to Jenny: "It's okay, it's okay if you have a boyfriend again." We can still go back in time, I wouldn't mind. β
Jenny gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "You don't mind, I don't mind. You're very generous now, why didn't you have such a good temper when I was pregnant, and you beat me to threaten a miscarriage? How many dirty things did you do to force me to break up? Don't think I don't know why you're looking for me? How stupid do you think I am? I haven't seen through you yet? We've been together for six years, and I've paid you all the fees, all the expenses... Tuition, living expenses, rent, utilities, what did you do to me?--- maxed out my credit card when I was hospitalized... You only have money in your eyes, you have no dignity, you get out of here if you're still a man... Get out of here now..."
Su Wen couldn't contain his anger for a long time, grabbed the golden-eyed man by the collar, and threw him out of the gate like a chicken. was about to go out, but Jenny grabbed her waist from behind. Jenny cried and said, "Forget it... Never mind... It's not worth it, it's not worth it to be angry with someone like that..."
Even if there is no Su Wen to soothe him, Jenny's anger will not last long, his heart has long been dead, why bother with himself?... I just like to lie in Su Wen's arms, I can put my face on his strong chest, and laugh with tears, thinking that I am independent and strong enough, but I still like a gentle hug... An unprecedented sense of security....
The child came back after falling asleep playing at the fat man's house, and Jenny didn't keep it...
Walking out of the elevator room, the lights in the lobby were a little dazzling, and he vaguely felt that a person rushed over with a stick in his hand, Su Wen subconsciously took a step back, picked up his left leg, and kicked the person in the chest with a mid-sweep leg, "bang" There was a loud bang, and the person was kicked back by the volley, and when he fell to the ground, he hit the glass railing, and the whole glass shattered to the ground with a bang. Taking a step forward to make up for it, Su Wen glanced at the person who was sticking to the ground like mud, and it was actually a man with golden eyes. Suddenly, I felt an inexplicable pleasure, whistled, and left the scene with brisk steps.
I quickly walked to my elevator and realized that something was wrong, wasn't this in that world? Although this foot didn't hit his face, he didn't have any strength, God knows what would happen to him?
The fat man knew that he was heavy on his feet, and when he heard the call, he immediately became anxious, and shouted loudly: "No strength? Are you sure you don't have any strength? What is the position?... That's fine... What are you waiting for? Where did you come from? β
Su Wen went home and got a backpack and sneaked into the tourist area. The fat man changed his number and called: "The person has been sent to the hospital and is being rescued in the ICU." He has a book in his hand, and you wait for me to come. β
The two of them sat in the gazebo on the mountain, the mountain wind whimpered, and from time to time through the gaps between the trees, the cold air made people's limbs tremble, and the fat man rubbed his hands and sighed, "What will I do in the future?"
"What else can I do? Go and be my city lord, although I can't manage a few people, and I'm also an official. β
"I mean Jenny"
The fat man knows? Su Wen was a little weak-hearted, "Jenny... What's wrong?"
The fat man took a puff of cigarette, opened his mouth, and let the mountain wind roll the cigarette away: "Alas... You've fought twice in your life for the same person, and you're not going to think about it?"
Su Wen smiled bitterly: "I went to prison twice! It's still good over there, there is no legal constraint, thanks to your stab-proof suit, the law can't control me." β
"I can't figure out how much of a stab-proof suit can work?"
Su Wen asked him for a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Let me tell you a story, one hundred and sixty-eight people won a battle against 80,000 people, and destroyed an empire with a population of tens of millions, and the casualties were thirty-five to four thousand." It was still the era of arquebuses that could not shoot a single shot in half a day. β
The fat man took out the lighter and played a trick to help him light a cigarette, "Well, I'll understand that." It was the Inca Empire that was destroyed. Bronze vs. iron, it seems that there is only a slight difference, and a few sabers and viruses will destroy a civilization. β
"I used to be naΓ―ve enough to believe that the people over there only fought with demon beasts, but this time, I found that they could fight their brains for the sake of profit. Su Wen took a deep puff of cigarette and looked up at the sky at night, and couldn't help but worry that Gao Yue would become his unmoving homesickness when he summoned to the sky.
The fat man was a little worried: "Yes, human nature is greedy. I'm most afraid that someone will sneak over. The fat man was in the tragic situation of the nuclear bomb explosion, and suddenly reminded him of something: "I forgot to tell you, Jenny said that the radiation of the demon beast skin is very high, and you can form an ionosphere on the body to block radiation." β
"Hmm... They guessed it, and now they are afraid of the two sides of the stalk and the wolf, hoping that there will be no war. "The humans of the two places have already come and gone, and Su Wen feels that his worries are not unnecessary.
"If I were to go and be an emperor, how happy would the three palaces and six courtyards be?" The fat man did not hide his envy for Su Wen at all.
"Of course I thought about it at first, but then I realized that I was just an ordinary person, and it was good to come back. I didn't think I had to go and take refuge!"
"Didn't make a point, haven't watched Mein Kampf?"
"I've seen it, so I understand that fate is a choice again and again, and my choice will inevitably make me an ordinary person. Su Wen continued to struggle with which of the two moons of the Su Dynasty could place his nostalgia on him.
"What's the matter? You're still kind enough to kill so many people?"
"At first, I thought it was a utopia, and the people I knew also paid attention to benevolence and morality, but later I learned that they were all aristocrats, and the two worlds were no different from the closed upward channel of society and the despair of the struggle at the bottom. Su Wen smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking of Summer and the female archers. As soon as he decided to leave that world, fate played a big joke and wanted to regain his memory. "Since I can't come back, I'll take this opportunity to see more of that world. β
"There is a saying in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible: To everyone who has is to be added to him, that he may have more, and to what is not is to be taken from him." The fat man sighed, rejoicing in his luck. "The path to promotion in society is also getting narrower and closer. Everyone has to compete for survival, and when the pressure reaches the point where "there is nowhere to put the mind", it is time for change to come."
The chill deepened, Su Wen got up and moved his hands and feet, "I didn't expect me to feel relaxed, as if I couldn't stop it after tasting the smell of blood." β
The fat man smiled: "To be honest, even I am afraid of you, you are now like a "natural criminal", just to enjoy killing. Luckily, we have the law of comics, which doesn't care about your good, but only restricts you from being evil. Everyone has dirty things in their hearts, and the law doesn't care if you want to do it or not. β
They are all talents, and they can still explain the law in this way, Su Wen said with a smile: "The law has become a subsistence allowance for human nature?"
"Yes, it's your kind of person who keeps low. My wife is gone, so you better go and scourge the people over there. The fat man didn't think he was joking, and he would hurt people one day after he came back, and Su Wen had unconsciously broken away from the shackles of civilized society.
Su Wen confessed what he meant and nodded.
"Don't worry, we'll see you when Jenny's research progresses. By the way, don't forget to prepare for the lab. β
.....
In the pavilion of the city house, Su Wen sat opposite the old man who swept the floor, and the old man was very patient to make tea. Su Wen is more patient, and in the future, he will drink a pot of tea and say a lot of mulberry hemp, but unfortunately there is no one to talk about the world. In addition to practicing boxing, he has always been so quiet, so quiet that he can't get along with people and doesn't know how to be sophisticated, and he is so quiet that he loses the warmth and coldness of love......
The old man handed him a cup of tea, and the steam curled up with the fragrance of tea, just like Su Wen's misty life.
"Su Feng sent you?" the old man said lightly. "Which green onion is Su Feng?" The old man was stunned, thinking that the other party had waited for a few days and finally couldn't hold his breath, so he planned to strike first to seize the initiative in the dialogue, but he didn't expect the other party to play cards according to the rules, so many guards and secret agents outside the door, he even scolded the emperor.
"I'm dying, and he hasn't died yet?" the old man thought that the kid was scheming.
"Don't tell me about your, you're busy thinking about it. No one has ever said that I want to take care of your business, my job is military politics, that is, eating, drinking and waiting for death.
"Hehe, boy, I've lived here for thirty years, and the last thing I lack is sadness. β
Su Wen felt that he didn't have to speculate for more than half a sentence, "I'm impatient, you have to move out." I'll live here in the future, and there are so many people squatting at the door, it's annoying to watch. β
The old man teased him, "Why don't you remove the sergeant?"
"Bullying Lao Tzu just came and didn't have soldiers? If there are soldiers, I'll let them go. I'm in charge of my territory. β
"You dare to let me go?"
"I want to live here, and I don't care where you guys go, as long as it's not in my way. Su Wen knew that the situation was different this time, since he needed to live for a long time, he had to live a good life, and this group of guys on the territory who were not under his jurisdiction and could kill people at will was definitely a big obstacle.
"It's useless for you to tell me, you have to give Su Feng a book. β
When Su Wen came back, he went to the guard's boss, and they said that they insisted that their boss was Su Wen. Su Wen couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only come and ask the old man. "Rub, you didn't say it earlier, that's what you wanted. By the way, who is Su Feng?"
"Uh... You really don't know the emperor's name?"
Rub, Su Feng is actually the emperor? fool me and scold the emperor, this old man is not a thing.
Jun Cheng was able and led him into the study of the former prime minister. Get him a copy of the correspondence for the record. After the two looked at each other, they looked at each other.
In June of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the Minister of State of Xiqu Mountain: How are you Your Majesty?
In July of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the state minister of Xiqu Mountain: How are you Your Majesty?
In August of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the state minister of Xiqu Mountain: How are you Your Majesty? Emperor: I am very good, and I have gained a little fat
In September of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the state minister of Xiqu Mountain: How are you, Your Majesty?
In October of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the state minister of Xiqu Mountain: How are you the emperor?
Please play too much, the emperor was finally confused.
In November of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the minister of Xiqu Mountain: The value of rice and grain was recorded in the clear rain Emperor: I am very good,
(P.S is excerpted from the record of the recital written by Sun Wencheng of Hangzhou Weaving to Yongzheng)
I'll go, are you two funny? It looks so easy to be an official. Su Wenyi got his first letter with a gourd painting scoop: In December of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the minister of Xiqushan: How are you the emperor?
After taking care of the old man's affairs, it was getting late, and while Jun Cheng was there, Su Wen called Qian Wu to prepare some wine and food, and invited Jun Cheng to dine together. The new official originally had to find out the bottom first, and Jun Cheng had already prepared, but of course he didn't dare to resign.
After three rounds of drinking, Su Wen asked him: "Are there any inferior gentry and strong in our world?"
Jun Cheng was asked with a confused face: "No, there is no demon beast nuisance, the farmers settle outside the city by water and grass, and half of the fields in the outer city are abandoned, and there are people who have land to plant!"
Su Wen was a little breathless, "Are there any local tyrants?"
Finally knowing what he had in mind, Jun Cheng smiled secretly, he wanted to scrape the ground to the wrong place. "Back to my lord's words, there are only a few blacksmith shops, ordinary traders, and chambers of commerce in the territory of the feudal kingdom, and they have been scattered for many years, where are the local tyrants who come from without big industry and commerce?"
After preparing for a long time, how can a new official take office without fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land? Su Wen suddenly became anxious, "Are there bandits or thieves?"
Jun Cheng shook his head, "No."
"Are you so poor? Do you have nothing to rob?" "What the hell is this place? Is it sent to help the poor in poverty?"
Seeing that his disappointment was overflowing, Jun Cheng secretly scolded in his heart, showing this greedy person who is not exquisite, how innocent the people of Xiqu Mountain Country are, I am afraid that they will suffer. But he still replied in a decent manner, "That's not poor, you are the captain, didn't you go to the military camp yesterday to perform your duties?"
Belch... In the past two days, I have been busy running away, and I didn't think that there was still a lieutenant who didn't go to his post. I thought, what is Juntun? Inquire first, don't make a fool of yourself when the time comes. "Uh... I was thinking about managing the government affairs first, and then going to build this army, since I talked about it, then first tell me about the military system of the Xiqushan State, and I would also make preparations in advance. β
Not only is he a corrupt official, but he is also a corrupt official who eats a vegetarian meal, and he is afraid that the county soldiers of the Xiqushan Kingdom will suffer. Jun Cheng secretly thought, if you do too much, I will fight for my life to join you. There is anger in my heart, and I don't speak very politely. "Lord County Lieutenant, don't blame your subordinates for being rude, there are thousands of people under the county captain's standing chariots, all of whom are local soldiers who take turns to serve in the military. Courageous and intelligent, good at riding and shooting, never disturb the place, conscientiously protect the family and defend the country, the terrain of the Xiqu Mountain Country is remote, there is only one road in and out, and there is a military camp on the road. Most of the county soldiers were sent to the township system, and there were organizations such as "shi" and "wu". There are also wandering and local pavilion chiefs with drills, how dare thieves come to disturb them. β
Well, it sounds quite combative, tomorrow I'll go and see the actual military literacy. Su Wen finally stopped being so bothered, "Are there any other famous specialties?"
"The Xiqu Mountain Country is rich in war horses dedicated to bow riding, although the horses are not tall, they are better at steady steps, hard-working, and good at long-distance running. Jun Cheng was taken aback, he wouldn't even dare to stretch out his hand to Ma Zheng, right? Secretly thought, it is best to reach out to Ma Zheng, so that someone can handle you, so he said a few more words: "There is a lot of money to raise horses, most people in Xiqushan Country are engaged in raising horses, but the matter of raising horses is under the management of Ma Zheng in the court, and the city government is only managing the entry and exit of money on behalf of the government." β
"Isn't there a blacksmith shop? What will they do?" There are fewer people, and commerce is not developed, but there are soldiers and horses, and they can still make weapons, so it is not without opportunities.
Jun Cheng was no longer able to complain, and he didn't even let go of a blacksmith shop, but he didn't want him to harm the people, so he said casually: "Since it is a horse breeding land, the blacksmith naturally makes some horseshoe saddle bridles." I know a few old blacksmiths, skilled and cheap, why don't you introduce them to adults?"
Su Wen waved his hand, I don't even have a horse's horse's shoes for wool?" "Is there anything else famous?"
Jun Cheng knew that if he said too much, he would lose it, so it was better to prevaricate the past, and it was best to make him feel that this place was boring, so he said: "Some adults have learned that the Xiqu Mountain Country has a long history, the transportation was convenient three hundred years ago, and it is also a number of Xiongcheng in the old Suzhou, the city is strong and solid, and there are many poems inscribed by literati and scholars since ancient times. There are countless cliff inscriptions, and it is really a holy place for literati and artists. β
Su Wen's eyes lit up, tourist check-in places, "Can you develop a few tourist areas to collect tickets?"
"Xin Xin students are traveling to study, how can they have extra money to buy tickets?"
