CHAPTER XXII
As soon as the story was told, there was no end, and before I knew it, it was night again.
Tianhan has never had such a long story.
In the end, many listeners reluctantly left.
What was done in the house was worthy of everyone's beauty, and when he left, he asked his subordinates to help clean up the house.
Therefore, it also saved some time for Xiang Xiaoer and Widow Sun.
The dinner was much more sumptuous than when Xiang Xiaoer first came.
"Thanks to my brother today, I made a lot of money, and tomorrow we will close our doors for another day, this time I will go and get some more goods."
After eating, Widow Sun discussed with Xiang Xiaoer.
looked at Xiang Xiaoer, who had a heroic face.
Widow Sun is grateful from the bottom of her heart.
If it weren't for the sudden kindness to take in this younger brother that day, I am afraid that my life would still be as hard as it was at the beginning, but I would have lived a hard life.
Xiang Xiaoer looked at Widow Sun and asked seriously:
"Can my sister trust me?"
Widow Sun was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party wanted to give herself more high-grade rouge.
"Naturally, I believe it."
"Then don't get on it."
Widow Sun's expression was stunned and asked:
"Why? Isn't it that my brother wants to turn this rouge shop into a storyteller? ”
Xiang Xiaoer smiled and shook his head:
"I've heard of taverns and teahouses, but where did Han come from? The reason why my sister was not allowed to join the gang was because I was afraid that this cigarette would be difficult to sell. ”
After speaking, he looked up at the starry sky.
A meteor in the west is streaking eastward.
"Brother, are you worried that those young ladies won't be buying? But even if they won't buy it again, we can sell some more to other customers. ”
Widow Sun asked again.
"If you say that Yumen Pass will be lost, do you believe it?"
Xiang Xiaoer didn't, he was calling his sister, but asked directly.
Widow Sun is a smart person, and naturally knows that her cheap brother is a good person, not a mortal.
After a little contemplation, he smiled and said:
"I'm just a woman's family, naturally I'm not a young hero like my brother, and I don't know anything about national affairs, but I don't think I can lose it in Yumen Pass."
"It's true that you can't lose it, but this day Han, there will be a big chaos, the days of peace are coming to an end, and it's not easy for a woman to do business with children in troubled times, so it's better to don't put this rouge on, and it's good to leave this silver in an emergency."
Xiang Xiaoer said with a smile.
Widow Sun was stunned for a moment.
Xiang Xiaoer stopped Yin Yin, who was going to follow him, came to the front door alone, opened the door and sat on the steps in front of the door.
The night at Yumen Pass is very cold!
Even though it was blocked by the towering city walls, the desert wind still blew into the streets of Yumen Pass.
"It's really strange in this world, no matter where you look up, you can always see the same starry sky."
Xiang Xiaoer looked at the starry sky in the sky and spoke.
He was used to looking up at the stars.
It's not because he can find any philosophy in it, and it's not because he likes it, but he couldn't do anything but this before.
"Even if it's the same starry sky, the stars are different."
Someone sat next to him.
"It makes sense, people will die, the country will die, just think that even the stars in the sky will fall, the only constant is this starry sky, just think about the land under our feet."
Xiang Xiaoer nodded.
The person next to him did not speak.
After a while, Xiang Xiaoer spoke again.
"Do you think Tianhan will die?"
The man was silent for a while, and then spoke firmly:
"Won't?"
"Why?"
"Five hundred years ago, some people said that the Heavenly Han died, but not only did it not die, but it became stronger, and it lasted for another five hundred years."
Xiang Xiaoer nodded and seemed to agree with the other party's statement:
"Liu Xiu, summon meteorites, directly carry out meteorite strikes, and renew the life of Tianhan for five hundred years, it is indeed amazing."
"Not just 500 years, it's going to be longer."
The people around him retorted.
Xiang Xiaoer smiled, and that smile was full of mockery.
"The first emperor swept the six countries to cast the dragon vein, climbed Mount Tai to seal the world, and after his death, he turned into a dragon soul to protect the land of Kyushu, yes, now it should be called Tianhan, what do you think the first emperor is better than Liu Xiu?"
The man didn't speak because he didn't know how to reply to the question, and he didn't have an answer himself.
"Don't say? It's better to say it and not to say it, without the first emperor, the Tianhan who is now Liu Xiu's life may be less than one-tenth of the current land. ”
Xiang Xiaoer smiled and said:
"The First Emperor, it's amazing, not only a ruthless person, but also a hero, who unified the writing for all the people during his lifetime, and turned into a dragon soul to guard this land after his death."
"But he's always been a tyrant."
Here the man spoke.
"Tyrant? Hahahaha, yes, he is a tyrant, he burned books and pit Confucianism, he swept away the Six Kingdoms, he surrendered, he punished the king, he levied taxes, he established harsh government, he showed off his house, he was an out-and-out tyrant for the people at that time. But what if there was no him? ”
Xiang Xiaoer tilted his head to look at the other party.
The man didn't speak, staring silently at him.
"He doesn't kill the palace of the six kings, how can the world be unified, he doesn't levy taxes, where does the money come from to defend against foreigners, he doesn't establish harsh government, and everyone in the world obeys him.
He is a tyrant, the Qi people say it, the Chu people say it, the Yan people say it, the Zhao people say it, the Han people say it, the Wei people say it, even the Qin people say it, but the Han people, your Liu family can't say it! ”
The moonlight reflected Liu Wang's somewhat pale face.
"Liu Bang, phew, it should be called Gaozu, Gaozu is really high, he entered Xianyang, he looted the gold and silver treasures and ran away, he didn't kill the child, he didn't burn the Afang Palace, he was smart, the first emperor was kind to this land, killed his descendants, burned his house, and could he still be the master of this land?"
Xiang Xiaoer didn't wait for an answer, he continued to speak to himself.
"But some people don't believe in evil, or some fools don't understand this, Ah Fang Palace he burned down, Chu Han's country will be lost for five hundred years, and he will be burned down for five hundred years, how stupid do you say he is?"
Liu Wang quietly looked at Xiang Xiaoer, whose eyes were blood-red.
"He is stupid, and the white dragon next to him is also stupid, he crashed and destroyed the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and this Chu and Han have been gone for another five hundred years.
The first emperor made a life for heaven and earth, but Qin died II, the Xiang family destroyed the main force of Qin, and had to enjoy a thousand years of country, but in the end it was your Liu family who did this, and your Liu family did nothing, but you had to enjoy a thousand-year foundation, why should you scold the first emperor for being a tyrant? Why do you dare to appear in front of me again" just because of this group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp? ”
Xiang Xiaoer's eyes were blood-red and he turned his head to stare at a group of black-clothed masked men holding knives on the street.
"Boom!"
It was still an endless starry sky just now, but at this time, suddenly dark clouds and thunder sounded, just to imply that the dragon king in the sky was moody.
The terrifying murderous aura made the streets of Yumen Pass even colder.
The black-clothed masked men who followed King Liu were all tense.
"I want to live!"
Liu Wang's voice was a little weak.
Xiang Xiaoer couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"You are really a sincere person, but unfortunately your head is not very bright, and I am afraid that you will die faster when you come to see me."
Liu Wang tugged at the corners of his mouth, and a trace of red appeared on his chest.
"I heard you tell a story today, the story is a bit long, I didn't finish listening, I have a short one, although not as wonderful as yours, but it is more interesting, if you don't mind, I can tell you."
Xiang Xiaoer motioned to the other party to continue.
"Once upon a time there was a tiger looking for food, and he caught a fox, and the fox said to the tiger, 'You can't eat me, Heaven has made me the leader of all kinds of wild beasts, and if you eat me, you will disobey the Emperor's commands. If you don't believe what I say, I'll go before you, and you follow me, and see if any of the beasts see me, and who dares not to run away? The tiger felt that the fox's words made sense, so he went with the fox, and when the beasts saw them, they all fled. Seeing this, the tiger believed the fox, and the fox survived. ”
After listening to this, Xiang Xiaoer asked:
"I'm a bunch?"
Liu Wang shook his head and said:
"You're a tiger."
Xiang Xiaoer looked up at the group of black-clothed masked people who didn't dare to move at all and asked:
"They're beasts?"
Liu Wang nodded.
"But the reality and the story don't seem to be the same, although the beasts are afraid of the tiger but do not retreat but stare at the fox from a distance, and more importantly, the tiger in the story lets the fox go, and I am not so stupid."
Xiang Xiaoer's words were very cold.
"The fox and the fake tiger are not suitable for the current situation, I think another idiom is more suitable, called the water to the east, or the snipe and the clam fight."
Xiang Xiaoer stood up after speaking.
The black-clad masked man retreated in unison.
With a sneer, Xiang Xiaoer stepped forward to go back to the house.
Watching the other party's movements, the black-clothed people breathed a sigh of relief, while Liu Wang felt a deep despair.
Not the worst-case scenario, but it's no different from the original situation.
As soon as the door is opened.
I saw Widow Sun and Yin Yin lying on the door eavesdropping.
Seeing Xiang Xiaoer open the door.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Widow Sun's face.
It's too embarrassing to overhear someone caught catching you.
And Yin Yin looked at Xiang Xiaoer cutely, pretending that nothing had happened, as if she didn't know anything.
"Let's go back to the house, it's none of our business."
Xiang Xiaoer spoke.
Widow Sun glanced at Liu Wang, who was sitting on the steps, and then at the black-clothed masked people standing on the street in the distance.
She's a smart woman.
She knew that the person outside the door was here to ask Xiang Xiaoer for help, but Xiang Xiaoer didn't want to save it, because the two families were feuding, and even she knew that Xiang Xiaoer was the descendant of the overlord, and that person was most likely the prince.
As for the person who dared to attack the prince, she didn't know who she couldn't guess.
But most of them are also great people.
"Save me once for Yinyin's sake."
Just when Xiang Xiaoer was about to go in.
Liu Wang suddenly spoke.
For a while, Xiang Xiaoer was laughed angrily.
"Yin Yin's face has been used once."
"Then it's up to Yin Yin's mother's face."
Liu Wang seems to have made a decision.
Rao is smart, and Xiang Xiaoer couldn't understand what Liu Wang was thinking at this time.
He just felt a little angry and funny.
"What do you have to do with Yin Yinniang? You invited Yin Yin to eat and gave Yin Yin food, I can see Yin Yin's sake, why did you borrow her face when you saw Yin Yin for the first time? ”
Liu Wang got up and turned his head and looked at Xiang Xiaoer very seriously:
"You save me, I marry her, I am a prince, she is the wife, I am the prince, she is the princess, I am the emperor, she is."
Liu Wang looked directly into Xiang Xiaoer's eyes:
"Queen!"
"Boom!"
It thundered again.
