Chapter XIII Special Assignments
When Zhou Yuanzhi saw Chang Yu again, Chang Yu said to him: "Although you and I are friends, you can only appear as my personal bodyguard at present."
When Zhou Yuanzhi heard the word "close", she paused in her heart, but in order to get closer to Lu Buwei, she could only endure it.
Anyway, I'm a man, and I don't suffer.
So he smiled and said: "I don't care if I don't have an identity."
Chang Yu sighed: "It's a special period, I can only wronged you"
"Special times?"
"Yes, I'm on a special mission recently"
"What special mission?"
"I'll tell you more later, let's find a quiet place to sit down first."
"A quiet place, just two of us big men?"
Chang Yu smiled, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Zhou, do you think we are ordinary people?" What we talk about is related to our future common cause, can we find a quiet place to talk"
Zhou Yuanzhi thought that he was eloquent, but now he knows that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and Chang Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in terms of experience and adaptability, Chang Yu is likely to be above himself, otherwise, he would not have come to this day.
It seems that Chang Yu will have to be careful in the future.
Chang Yu's eyes seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I found that you are sometimes like a woman, and you are not at all what a star killer should be."
When Zhou Yuanzhi heard him say this, she could only smile bitterly.
Many times, a bitter smile is better than an argument, at least not a more difficult argument.
He once heard that people who know how to smile bitterly at the right time are often not too lucky.
So he said: "Brother Yan, listen to you, anyway, I am your personal bodyguard now"
Although the word "close-fitting" feels a bit fake, it has already expressed its meaning after all.
Chang Yu smiled: "That's right"
They walked forward as they spoke, and soon found a tavern, where they sat down across from each other.
Obviously, this place is frequented by Chang Yu, because they don't order food or call for wine, and Xiao Er has already brought the wine and food himself and helped them close the door and window.
Zhou Yuanzhi looked at this frame and wanted to drink, so she smiled and said, "Isn't Brother Chang not drunk?" ”
"There are always exceptions to everything, not to mention having a drunkard friend like you, if you don't drink, it's too uninteresting"
Zhou Yuanzhi couldn't imagine that she was like a master in the world, and there were times when she wanted to drink.
It seems that for both men and women, wine is a good thing at the right time.
The benefits of alcohol can often make you forget about some unhappy things for a while, which may be one of the reasons why people like to drink.
So, has Chang Yu been unhappy lately?
There must be, otherwise, people like him would not drink.
And eighty percent of this unhappy thing is related to "special tasks".
Thinking of this, he poured a bowl of wine for Chang Yu, and then asked, "Brother Chang seems to have something on his mind?" ”
Chang Yu sighed: "I don't have anything on my mind, it's just that there is a special task in the near future, which makes me very embarrassed, but I can't put it off, after all, it was arranged by Lu Gong personally, and it is related to the success or failure of the whole plan."
"Since we are friends and can use my place, you open your mouth, I will do it"
Chang Yu drank a bowl of wine, and his blue face flushed a little, it seemed that he really rarely drank alcohol.
I only heard him say solemnly: "There are some things that you can only do by yourself, and your friends can't help."
"The task assigned by Lu Gong himself must be very important"
"It does matter"
"What can I do?"
Chang Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, when did you become so serious?" ”
After Chang Yuyi, Zhou Yuanzhi also found that she was too serious, so she had to say: "Important things, of course, need to be taken seriously"
Chang Yu raised his wine and saluted: "Lu Gong is in the next big game of chess"
Zhou Yuanzhi also drank a bowl of it himself and did not speak, because he knew that Chang Yu would definitely continue to speak.
Sure enough, I heard Chang Yu say sadly: "And my task is to please the Queen Mother, so as to contain the young King Qin."
Zhou Yuanzhi was taken aback, remembering the record in the history books, this was indeed the case.
"You promised"
"Lu Gong's arrangement, I didn't choose"
It seems that Lü Buwei's influence on him is indeed very great, and it can even be said that he himself is a believer of Lü Buwei, and although he is not happy with such an arrangement, he does not intend to disobey it.
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled: "Do you dare not resist or are you unwilling to resist?" ”
"It's both."
"Why?"
"Because Lu Gong is not only eloquent and strategic, but also kind to me, I don't want to go against his wishes, not to mention that he must have his reason for arranging it like this."
"You believe him so?"
"Yes, both in terms of layout and vision, he is the most powerful character I have ever met"
"That's why you're obedient to him"
"Not only that, for me, he is like a prophet-like existence, and it can even be said that he is the soul of the Qin State now, without his efforts, the Qin State would not have achieved such achievements today."
"In that case, why aren't you happy?"
"Because I have more important things to do"
"What's the matter?"
"Protecting Lu Gong"
"There are so many capable people and masters under Lu Gong, can't he protect himself?"
Chang Yu did not answer him directly, but continued: "You know, a person who does a big business, whether you want it or not, will inevitably offend some people, and these people want your life all the time."
"It seems that big things are not easy to do"
"It's not easy to do, if you're not careful, your life will be in danger, in the past few years that I have followed him, I have suffered nearly 30 assassinations, fortunately we found out in time and prepared in advance, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable"
"It seems that there are as many people as Lu Gongcheng who have offended"
"Yes, doing a big business will more or less affect the interests of some people, and it is inevitable that there will be some enemies or enemies, and Lu Chengcheng is this kind of person who does not care about personal safety and interests."
Zhou Yuanzhi thought to herself, it seems that Chang Yu has been successfully brainwashed by Lu Buwei, just like poisoning.
However, he didn't understand why a character like Chang Yu was successfully brainwashed by Lu Buwei?
And what kind of person is Lü Buwei?
He sighed and said: "Brother Chang, life must be happy, anything, once you think too much, it will become boring, not to mention that pleasing the Queen Mother may not be a bad thing for you."
Chang Yu smiled: "I knew that you could see it, but for me, it was easy to say, but it was not easy to really do it."
Zhou Yuanzhi comforted him and said: "As for Duke Lu daring to ignore his own danger and specially arrange for you to curry favor with the Queen Mother, I think if it weren't for his last resort, he wouldn't have made this move."
"Are you saying that Gong Lu has already made arrangements?"
"Yes, no one wants to joke with their lives"
"I hope that as you said, Duke Lu arranged for me to curry favor with the Queen Mother, which is just a part of the plan"
Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "It seems that Lu Gong's strategy is indeed not simple."
"Lu Gong is indeed a rare talent in the world"
"But I still don't know anything"
"You say"
"Did Duke Lu arrange for you to please the Queen Mother, or did the Queen Mother ask you to accompany her by name?"
Chang Yu's face turned red, but she quickly recovered, and said embarrassedly: "I heard that it was the queen mother's meaning."
"That is to say, arranging for you to please the Queen Mother is not the intention of Duke Lu, but the intention of the Queen Mother herself"
Chang Yu was silent and drank a bowl of wine by herself.
After a long time, he sighed: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for me to go?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled: "The Queen Mother is just a woman, and it is impossible to eat you"
