Chapter 263: The Beginning of the Chess Game

At this moment, Xiahou Zheng actually felt as if he was underestimating the person in front of him. He didn't expect that there would be someone who would have such a long-term and decisive view.

Once you step in, you can't turn back. Even if you become a wicked person in the eyes of others, you must carry on with your original ideas.

The person in front of him, who is more gentle and handsome than a woman, is actually teaching him that if he wants to do great things, he must first cut off his own back road.

What kind of resolute person does it take to make such a decision?

Xiahou Zheng's eyes were sharp, he stared at Yu Ran, and continued to ask, "What if there are some things that need to be broken, but still can't be broken?" ”

"That's constant." Tamazen replied.

"But if it continues, isn't it contrary to what Childe just said? What Childe just said, isn't it precisely that if a person wants to move forward, he must not turn back, nor should he leave delusions about many people and things? Xiahou Zheng was puzzled.

Yuran smiled, "As long as it's human, there will be delusions." Some people are greedy for wealth, some people are obsessed with love, and some people wish for eternal life. When a person has what he wants, he will make endless efforts for that desired thing.

"You don't have to leave a way out for yourself, that's because you have a resolute heart, you have tasted the impermanence of life and death, and you have seen through the changes in people's hearts. But delusions cannot disappear. You can only suppress it, until one day you finally can't suppress it anymore, it will still appear, and then let you fall into drunken life and dreams. The more you run away from it, the more it will follow you and stay with you for the rest of your life, never to be out.

"So what I said to Xiahou Gongzi just now, I just want Xiahou Gongzi to know - people's hearts are easy to change, so no one can help you, only you can help yourself.

"If you persist, you don't have to back down. Go down with your thoughts, go down with your hopes, don't look back, only in this way will you not get lost in the dream of life and death, and you will not be in vain for a lifetime. ”

When Xiahou Zheng heard this, he thought about it for a long time.

"Is the same with you, Young Master Yu?" Xiahou Zheng asked rhetorically about jade dyeing.

Yu Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, and the next moment, she replied with a smile: "I also have what I want to pursue, but sometimes, there are gains and losses, and I have never been able to become the ruthless person I imagined." Everyone has their own thoughts, and what Yujin said just now is just my personal thoughts, and it doesn't really matter to Xiahou Gongzi. Prince Xiahou should act according to his own judgment, and sometimes he must not make assumptions. ”

"I think what Yu Gongzi said is very reasonable, and it is worth thinking about it by my Xiahou Zheng!" Xiahou Zheng laughed again and again, and seemed to have a much better attitude than when he first saw Yuran.

Yu Ran said calmly: "Prince Xiahou didn't think that Yujin was bothered just now, and he already made Yujin grateful." ”

Xiahou Zheng gradually returned to normal, he thought for a moment, and then spoke: "It seems that Yu Gongzi has indeed gained a lot of insights in the business, but that is all realized in Huaguo. Now that Yu Gongzi has come to Shang Guo, you might as well talk about your views on the current Shang Kingdom, and how do you feel about Yu Gongzi? ”

Yuran's eyes flashed, and she finally waited for Xiahou Zheng to ask this question.

She raised her thin lips, and said softly the next moment: "Yujin is dull, and his speech may be more straightforward, does Prince Xiahou really want to listen to Yujin's words?" ”

"Naturally. You name it, whatever you say, I won't blame it. Xiahou Zheng stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

Yu Ran nodded, then raised his eyes and opened his lips and said: "Yu Jin has not been in Shang Country for a long time, but I have also learned a lot about the people of Shang Country, and I have heard many people talk about the current situation in Shang Country. What Xiahou Gongzi wanted to ask Yujin should not be an ordinary hearsay rumor, so he must have wanted to gain something through Yujin, an outsider's thoughts and insights on the situation in the Shang Kingdom. Yujin is a businessman, and Xiahou Gongzi is a powerful courtier, so I don't know if what Yujin said will satisfy Xiahou Gongzi. ”

Xiahou Zheng glanced at Yu Ran deeply, "You go on." ”

"The reason why Xiahou Gongzi wanted to listen to Yujin's opinion on what Xiahou Gongzi did just now must be because Xiahou Gongzi encountered an unsolvable dilemma in the Shang court, right? Xiahou Gongzi wants to win, wants to stand in front of others, and wants to be obeyed by others, so he chooses to change. But now, Xiahou Gongzi is still standing in an extremely embarrassing situation. Although Prince Xiahou is the eldest son of the Xiahou family, but now Shang Jun is very fond of the Xiahou family, so this makes Xiahou Gongzi very distressed and eager to think of a way to reverse the situation. Miss Xiahou told Yujin about the 'treasure' before, since it can make you anxious so much, it must be because it has something to do with it, right? Yuran's tone sounded so calm that it didn't fluctuate in the slightest, but every word she said could make Xiahou Zheng's heart tremble involuntarily.

Because what Yuran said, every word is true.

Xiahou Zheng's teeth were locked, his hands were tightly clenched into fists on the table, acquiescing to Yuran's guess, but also showing his unwillingness.

Xiahou Zheng's eagle eyes were shining, and he asked a little hoarsely in his throat: "Then according to the judgment of Young Master Yu, what should I do?" ”

Yu Ran's expression was warm, she exhaled softly, and then chuckled: "Young Master Xiahou, this matter is not something you can do to solve it. She paused, and in the next moment, her phoenix eyes seemed to be instantly deep, and she said: "Say something rebellious, because the world of this Shang country is not Xiahou clan's. At this point, no matter how hard Xiahou Gongzi tried his best to compete with Xiahou, he would eventually become a chess piece in the hands of Shang Jun, a sharp blade, hurting others and hurting himself. ”

Because--the world of this Shang country is not Xiahou's.

This sentence is really mean and realistic.

Nangong Tang, the monarch of the Shang Kingdom, his surname is Nangong, so no matter how huge the Xiahou clan is, no matter how rich he is, the world of the Shang Kingdom is also the world of the Nangong clan.

This alone can make Xiahou Zheng wake up.

The person he wants to win is not the Xiahou clan's lineage, but Shangjun Nangongtang. It's just that this is so difficult, as difficult as the sky.

Xiahou Zheng pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Since Yu Gongzi said that he is now preparing to travel and study in the Shang Kingdom, I wonder if Yu Gongzi is interested in making a career in the Shang Kingdom?" After all, it would be a pity to think that a talented person like Yu Gongzi was just a businessman. ”

Yu Ran could obviously feel that Xiahou Zheng's attitude towards her was beginning to become completely different from what she had just said, which showed that Xiahou Zheng did agree with what she had just said.

Yu Ran smiled and said indifferently: "Xiahou Gongzi said this, Yu Jin can not agree with it. Doing business is not a primary school question, there are things that need to be understood in business, and now the people of Shikoku are sophisticated, many problems that occur in large and small places, as well as speculation about people's hearts, are all to be carefully considered. ”

"What does that Jade Boy mean...... Are you ready to refuse? Xiahou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to be annoyed.

Yu Ran smiled brightly, but the words that came out of his mouth were, "I hope that my refusal now will not lead to my death." ”

If you fail to recruit talents, you will become a murderer.

Yuran is telling the truth, but it is also a big truth that ordinary people dare not say.

Xiahou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again and again, and only after laughing for a while did he say heartily: "Yu Gongzi is really a strange person, no wonder he can make the little sister admire." Now listening to Yu Gongzi's words, I also deeply admire, I didn't expect Yu Gongzi to have such an opinion. Yu Gongzi, don't worry, I, Xiahou Zheng, swear to you here, even if you don't want to enter the court officialdom in the Shang Kingdom, I will definitely not do anything disrespectful to you. ”

"Thank you Xiahou Gongzi for your love." Jade Dye stopped there.

Xiahou Zheng got up with the jade dye, he sent the jade dye outside the pavilion, and then said: "That jade boy, I will not send it far away." It is my honor to meet with Yu Gongzi today and have a talk, and I hope there will be a meeting in the future. ”

"There will be a date later." Yu Ran was silent, and then smiled again: "Then Prince Xiahou still wants to continue to search for that 'treasure'?" ”

Xiahou Zheng was stunned, his eagle eyes flickered, and he nodded: "As Yu Gongzi said, the current world of the Shang Kingdom is not enough for the Xiahou clan to be completely shaken, so it is good to have some chips in people's hands." ”

"It's very reasonable, then Prince Xiahou, Yujin will leave." Yu Ran smiled slightly, and slowly waved towards Xiahou Zheng, still with a warm and amiable appearance, with a gentle and elegant beauty that people can't find flaws.

Yu Ran brushed his sleeves and left, and at this time, there was one more person behind Xiahou Zheng, who was his attendant Dong Xu who came with Xiahou Zheng.

Dong Xu and Xiahou Zheng looked at Yuran's back as he walked away, and then he asked, "My lord, did you really let him go like this, did you think he was really an ordinary businessman?" ”

Xiahou Zheng's eagle eyes were dark, and the waves were rolling, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking into the distance, and only after a moment did he speak in a hoarse voice: "Of course he will not be just an ordinary businessman, if even an ordinary businessman can say this opinion, then isn't this world full of talents?" ”

"Then why did you ......?"

"Because he was right, and it was useful to me." Xiahou Zheng stared.

"But my lord, he now knows what your lord wants, and if he is allowed to leave like this, if he goes back and speaks to others, won't he be in trouble?" Dong Xu was surprised.

Xiahou Zheng glanced at Dong Xu, his expression was not good-looking, "You have been with me for so long, can't you even understand these truths?" ”
