Chapter 389 - Past and Present

In front of the atrium screen, there was silence again, and then Li Yu's voice slowly came out: "Hehe, do you think that five hundred hanging money can buy me?" Dream! ”

Somehow, Fifth Ling Ruo, who had been expecting her brother Bing to give a firm answer, heard hesitation from this sentence.

She could hear it, why couldn't Cao Weituo hear it?

"A thousand hangings!"

In a word, it is loud, because it is a lot of money.

One thousand hanging, that is, one thousand taels, a very terrifying, very amazing amount of money.

This time, the silence was very short, and after a short pause, Li Yu's voice slowly replied: "A word? ”

"In a word?"

Fifth, Ling Ruo's eyes were dark, and in an instant, his heart felt indescribable.

"A thousand hangs! A thousand hanging money, pity yourself and still think that even if he doesn't come, he will die for him. Actually, he really might as well not come. ”

The pain cleared his heart, and the fifth Ling Ruo tears rained down.

Vaguely, she heard Cao Weituo laughing: "Hahaha, those who know the times are Junjie." I really appreciate you now. However, you have to say this sentence in front of Miss Ling Ruo. ”

"Say it to my face? I don't need it, I don't ...... anymore I don't want to see him anymore. ”

Fifth Ling Ruo bit his lower lip tightly, bit out the blood, and his eyes were pitch black, and he fell softly into the arms of the Seventh Lady.

Ahead, the second class leader Kang was still continuing to speak according to the "lines", and he felt a little low: "Please, don't let me ...... Say it to her face. You give me the money, and I'll go. ”

……

In the Yimen corridor, Li Yu's blood has not yet been exhausted, but his strength is about to be exhausted, and he waved the fire hammer in his hand indiscriminately, but in fact, the speed, strength, and accuracy can no longer produce deterrence.

A thug came from behind, his knife hanging down, and seeing that he was so exhausted that he didn't even bother to raise his knife on guard.

He kicked out hard, Li Yu was panting like a cow at this time, his ear drums were buzzing, and he didn't notice that someone was walking behind him, and he was kicked and rolled out like a gourd, stopping in front of the rain ditch at the base of the wall.

One foot stepped on his face, and he rolled with a cruel smile: "Fight, why don't you fight, you killed so many of our brothers, you actually killed so many of our brothers." ”

Li Yu's face was trampled and deformed, panting heavily, unable to speak.

"Hey, Qiao Si'er, don't kill him."

A thug leader came over lazily, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw it beside Li Yu: "Is the injury serious?" No matter, half of it is taken internally, half of it is applied externally, and it is used quickly, but it can't be called death. It's a pity that this Sun Shenyi personally prepared the gun and stick wound medicine. ”

"Yo, Brother Gong, what's going on...... Do you want to heal him? ”

"Because, he can't die like this."

Brother Gong sneered resentfully: "My brother, I am such a brother, he pierced his eyeballs and came out of the back of his head." Just call him so dead? Too cheap for him! I want to raise him, I want to cut half a catty of meat from him every day, stew and eat! Eat him for three years! ”

Li Yu, who was trampled on the ground, didn't pay attention to the words of the two, and at this time, his spirit was about to collapse.

When he fell to the ground and rolled towards the edge of the rain gutter, he had already put a hand into his arms, and sewed a cowhide bag in his arms, just in case of a slight injury, the wheel would be stained with blood, and inexplicably start the reverse gear.

And at this moment, his bloody hand had reached into his arms, into the cowhide pocket, and into the chakra.

He was completely convinced that the blood must have stained the chakra,

But why hasn't there been any movement?

The wheel has lost its proper function?

……

In the atrium, Cao Weituo stood in front of the fainting Fifth Ling Ruo, smiling fiercely.

"Little girl with no hair, fight with me! The old man only used a little trick, so that you were sold by me, and you have to count the silver for me happily, hahaha......"

"Alang! Alang! Big things are not good! ”

A domestic servant ran out of breath: "Qian Dazhu and Wu Dazhu, fight ...... The fight started, and the tables were lifted. ”

Cao Weituo was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "They just came to drink my happy wine, what are they doing?" ”

The servant said, "Money...... Big Pillar Hair ...... whined, saying that it was now the king...... Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year ...... It's better than a year, and everyone under him is ...... Bitter, he listened to the complaints...... They all heard the cocoon. Wu Dazhu scolded him for getting a bargain...... Sell well, say your own turf...... ...... all."

"Alright! Say no more! These dogs. Mother-raised! ”

Cao Weituo waved his hand indignantly and said, "Old Seven, you and Old Nine take her back!" ”

After speaking, Cao Weituo walked forward angrily.

The seventh lady and the ninth lady hurriedly set up Ling Ruo, Ling Ruo was fifteen years old, and his body was just ninety pounds, and he was not heavy when he was carried by the two, so he was dragged into the backyard by the two.

************

"How could it be...... Doesn't work? ”

Li Yu is going crazy, if he doesn't have any chakra at all, he will be calmly killed at this time, he will definitely not be so flustered, and he will be laughed at before he dies.

But he still has chips and a chance to turn the book, how can he be willing to lose?

In a hurry, Li Yu couldn't hide it anymore, and directly took out the celestial wheel from his arms. Just now he was still thinking, didn't he be a thief and was dropped? At this time, the wheel is in his hand, how can he be mistaken? That is the Celestial Wheel, the blood-stained Celestial Wheel.

"Yay? Orbs? ”

"Looks like it's worth a lot."

"This kid is crazy, isn't he crazy, he takes out the orb at this time, and he wants to buy his life back? He fell into our hands, and this orb would never have belonged to him again! ”

"Show me......"

Before this person could finish speaking, he saw Li Yu punch him hard and smash it into his nose.

"Wow!"

The nosebleeds were long, the eyes were sore, and the tears slipped down.

This move can stunned the thugs: "Don't this thing be a demon?" What is he doing? ”

They stared wide-eyed, watched as Li Yu's nose was bleeding, his eyes were watery, and then they ...... He brought the bead under his eyelids, and tears fell on the bead with a clatter, washing away the bloodstains, and the blue light was even more obvious in the night light.

But...... The light only flickered on the beads, and there was still no sign of activation.

Li Yu's hand holding the beads trembled uncontrollably.

The leader of the thugs had a greedy glint in his eyes, and bent down to take the beads in his hand, and said in a disguised manner: "What the hell, I'll see! ”

Li Yu clenched the wheel tightly, full of horror and despair: "How can it not work?" Is this thing using electricity, running out of electricity? ”

In an instant, everything since the crossing is vivid, as if the flashback of a lifetime between deaths.

The moon in the prison of the sixth year of Zhenguan,

The crying girl in the bamboo forest in Lizhou,

The fish jumping on the chest of Chiba by the mirror water lake,

Longjiazhai made a girl's sharp whip legs,

The iron wingman is bound to his feet, and the iron rings stand barefoot in the middle of winter,

Deeply, quietly helped him kill Rao Geng's smug smile,

Chen Feiyang, Goutouer, Liu Boss, Kang Ban Master......

It was all yesterday, but it's been ten years.

I'm not reconciled!

I'm so unwilling!

Iron Ringless, dying for me,

The old lady is waiting for me to return in Sanlixi,

Thief God, how the hell are you going to trick me?

"Ahh

At the last sound, Li Yu roared angrily.

The leader of the thugs was taken aback, and Huo Di jumped two steps away, drawing his knife and pointing at Li Yu.

"Buzz~~~"

The faint blue light rippled from Li Yu's hands, through the back of his palm, and through his fingers.

The killers with knives around them were stunned, and watched in horror as the faint blue light rippled out in circles, forming a bubble-like halo around Li Yu's body.

Then, they saw that the plum fish in the aura, which seemed to have a somewhat hazy image, did a very strange thing.

He sat up all at once, a smile of surprise on his face.

Then he looked at the medicine bottle on the ground and took it into his arms.

Then, as if he tilted his head to think about it, he picked up a wide brick from the side of the rain gutter, tore open his chest, which had been loose from the battle, and put it in it, and patted his chest.

Everyone was dumbfounded: "What the hell! He...... What are you doing? ”

Li Yu raised his head, with a very strange smile on his face, as if he was a little nervous, as if he was a little nervous, like a child who had done something, but when he saw the surprised expression of his parents, he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong for a while, so he was panicked.

Then, the blue ripples suddenly retracted, and the blue light suddenly disappeared, and the guy, in front of everyone's eyes, disappeared eerily.

All the thugs stood in place in shock, and for a long time, someone shouted, "He...... Is he a ghost? ”

It was only at this time that everyone suddenly realized that the night had come......

……

"What the hell? It's just ...... Sling the bull! ”

Cao Weituo had just finished dealing with the matter of the two big pillars fighting over a quarrel, and the result made him even more annoyed.

The reason is not only because these two people fought, and uncovered his scars, and revealed the dilemma that he was most taboo to talk about at the moment, but more importantly, he thought that as soon as he arrived, the matter would be over, and the two of them would have to stop immediately.

The result was that the two of them were fighting, and when he came forward to stop, the words of the four beams and the other pillars were also insinuations, full of complaints and complaints, but on the surface, you can't find any problems, and you can't make trouble based on this, Cao Weituo naturally shines brightly, and this fire can't come out, so you can only hold it in your heart.

Finally, the mediation was over, forcing the two sides to shake hands and make peace, everyone sat down to eat and drink, and the atmosphere had become very toothache, at this time, his iron guard leader Gong Boss was pale, and rushed in as if he had seen a ghost, and whispered to him without a clue.

Cao Weituo couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, so he had to say goodbye and let the four Liang preside over the banquet and tell the brothers to get drunk and rest, while he returned to the atrium in the cold and embarrassed "The boss can't wait, this is going back to accompany Mei Jiaoniang" A few ridicules and many scrutinizing and indifferent eyes.

Only then did he hear Boss Gong say it again, and looked at Boss Gong in disbelief.

Gong Lao said in a loud voice: "It's true, boss, I didn't lie to you." If you ask them, we see them all. ”

A few henchmen next to him nodded again and again, and confirmed it.

Cao Weituo said suspiciously: "Ghost? How is it possible, he has appeared in broad daylight, is it possible...... Is it a demon? ”

Boss Gong panicked: "Boss, if it's a human, we're not afraid of him." If it's a demon, such a monster that comes and goes without a trace, what should I do? We've broken a lot of brothers. ”

Cao Weituo paced back and forth with a gloomy face, Boss Gong was flustered, and he was not afraid.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Weituo said: "He was injured and left at this time, and he will not come back." Early tomorrow morning, go find a Taoist leader for me, do a ritual for me, and leave a magic weapon that can protect me. ”

Gong Lao Lian responded.

Cao Weituo had just settled this matter, and was about to go back to the front hall to take a turn, when the big account room hurriedly came and told him with a wry smile that as soon as he left, everyone broke up unhappily.

Cao Weituo stayed for a moment, and his mood became more and more chaotic.

He forced himself to calm down and silently returned to the back house, his wives and concubines all knew that he had a new concubine tonight, so they didn't bother him, and the flower hall was very quiet. Cao Weituo sat quietly alone for half an hour, calmed down and lifted his mood, and then rushed to the boudoir arranged for the fifth Ling Ruo.

The monster just became a human form, and its skills were limited, which can be seen from a few fights, and from the fact that the other party is often injured and needs help, so just treat it as a ranger with some ability, and there is no need to be honestly afraid, the grass and trees are all soldiers.

As for the separation of the hearts of his subordinates, today, it is indeed more serious than he imagined, but this matter is not something that he can change if he wants to. Now the only way to make money is almost monopolized by him, it seems that it is necessary to score some money and go out, at least people at the level of four beams and eight pillars, you have to make them a little sweet, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit steadily.

There were a lot of worries, and none of them could be solved immediately, and when Cao Weituo stepped into the door of the fifth Ling Ruo's room, his face was still gloomy and terrifying.

The fifth Ling Ruo had already woken up, but as if he had lost his soul, he was lying on the couch in a daze, looking at the top of the tent with his eyes stupid. The Seventh Lady and the Ninth Lady were gently persuading each other on the side, although some of the true meaning was difficult to fathom, but they were saying words to persuade her to change her mind.

"Ah Lang is here."

The Seventh Lady and the Ninth Lady were a little surprised that he came back so early, but when they saw his ugly face, they didn't dare to ask.

Cao Weituo didn't even bother to speak, just waved his hand with a calm face, and the Seventh Lady and the Ninth Lady hurriedly went out, covered the door, and walked to the courtyard, and the Seventh Lady said stupidly: "Why do you give us a face, it's not us who makes him unhappy." ”

The Ninth Lady said sourly: "After so many things have happened, he still remembers the little goblin, and he ran back to accompany her so soon, and he can't give up." What's so good about her? ”

The Seventh Lady glanced at her and stopped talking. I originally wanted to make a point, but that was before, I wanted to pull her as an Austrian aid and compete for favor in front of Cao Weituo. But not now, judging from what happened in the front hall that I just heard, I am afraid that Boss Cao's position will not last.

And once he loses his status, he will lose his life at the same time.

I have to think about myself, first transfer the fine soft out, and find the next home.

The Cao family, I'm afraid that the tree will soon fall apart, and there is no need to maintain this relationship with the Ninth Lady at this time.

Cao Weituo took a look, there was a wine and a few side dishes on the table, and the fifth Ling Ruo was lying on the bed.

He walked to the table, grabbed the flask, didn't pour the glass, and drank it directly to the spout, and drank a pot of wine, the empty stomach was hot, and the stuffiness in his chest was relieved a little.

On the couch, Fifth Ling Ruo was still lying there quietly, she was not bound, but she did not struggle. With the direction of life pursuit, there is the motivation to struggle forward, she has lost her future, and she has no direction, at this time, she is like the walking dead, what can she do if she resists?

Looking at her appearance, Cao Weituo, who was full of depression, didn't fight anymore, and sneered: "Still waiting for your lover to come?" Men in the world have all their needs. Love and love, just like this wine, is just a concoction, there is something, there is nothing, what is it? Life and death can't defeat your Bing brother, but what about fame and fortune, wealth and glory? ”

Cao Weituo staggered to the couch, looked at the beautiful face under the lamp, the lovely figure, and held the mentality of being drunk today, stretched out his hand and pulled the skirt around her waist. The slender waist is unbearable, and the skirt is tied with an acacia knot, as if it occupies the entire abdomen, and the small person and small body are really pitiful.

"Just now, the Seventh Lady persuaded me, you are very fond of me, it is rare to organize this meeting today, for a concubine, and it is extremely tight now, at the banquet in front, your subordinates are full of complaints and fights. If I'm not mistaken, you're about to lose yourself, are you? ”

Fifth, Ling Ruo's voice was a little hollow, and it was because of a lack of emotion.

The voice is still immature and crisp, but it is a little colder.

Cao Weituo was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with some annoyance: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, little girl, it is still easy for Lao Tzu to rectify you." ”

Fifth Ling Ruo still stared at the top of the tent, and said coldly: "Woman, no matter how beautiful a woman is, to you, it is actually nothing special. You don't lack women, but you ...... Obviously, there is a lack of a smart account room, a master account room that can help you make money. ”

Cao Weituo smiled and said: "So what, is it possible, you want to be my virtuous helper?" ”

Fifth Ling Ruo's gaze slowly turned and fixed on Cao Weituo's body: "I will be your concubine, but don't touch me." Your problems, I'll help you! ”

Cao Weituo glanced at her in surprise, and suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, tonight, haha...... I'm a bad thing...... One pile after another. You little girl, you finally found me some jokes. Hahaha, you help me, what do you do to help me? I made you the number one prostitute in Chang'an, and relied on your money to help me get through the difficulties? Hahaha, I really laughed to death. ”

Cao Weituo laughed, laughing so much that tears flowed from his eyes.

Fifth, Ling Ruo is still very calm: "There are many ways to make money, people abandon me and take me, and people take me is an excellent means." Right now, the emperor has just returned to Beijing, and there are still many shops in the West Market that want to be exchanged for sale, and the money you have saved in the treasury is just sitting on the empty side, so why don't you exchange it for those shops.

At the sadest, in three or two months, people's hearts can be stabilized again, and the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the world's largest city be so depressed, at that time, the money you invest in these stores can at least double. Three months, doubled, isn't it better than putting it in the treasury like a miser? ”

Cao Weituo looked at her blankly, speechless for a while.

"In the same way, there are many houses in the city that are being sold by some frightened birds, and this is not the best time to buy them, but it is certain that it will not be long before the price rises sharply. The dynasty is established, even if there is no such fall, it will definitely continue to rise, why not take the opportunity to buy it?

Especially, the lot! It has to be a lot! The best plot of land must be bought. If one day you fall, or even rely on it, you will be able to rise again! ”

"Listen to what the Seventh Lady means, have you offended the minister? The world is bustling, all for profit. If you offend someone, there is no way to repair the relationship? Even if there is really no way to fix it, is there no way to take over another powerful person to shelter you from the wind and rain? These things, stupid people run ten times and give thousands of gold gifts, which may not impress people. The lords of the temple who are high up, what you ask for and need, is it important for you and me mortals? As long as you can do what you like, why not? ”

Listening to the fifth Ling Ruo's eloquent talk, Cao Weituo finally couldn't help it: "What you said seems to be very reasonable. But you seem to have forgotten that you still need money to do these things, and you need it now. I still have money, but it's just in case, so I can't invest it all. Three months, and after three months, my people are afraid that they will rebel against me. As for what you said about befriending the powerful, the bigger the person, the more it can be conquered in a short time, and the person I offended is not a greater magnate than him, so it will not help me. ”

"It's not hard to get your people to wait patiently for you for three months, or even a year. It only takes a small way to do it, but you can't think of it. It's not that hard to find a powerful person who can help you, conquer? Why conquer? You're thinking the wrong way. ”

Cao Weituo hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Fifth Ling Ruo stared at him and didn't say a word.

After a long time, Cao Weituo suddenly took a step back: "Okay!" I promise you, as long as you can really help me. ”

Fifth Ling Ruo sat up slowly, like a cold lotus flower in the ice and snow: "Then, please go out." I want to rest. ”

Cao Weituo was also single, turned around and left, he walked to the door, held the handle of the shoji door, suddenly turned around again, and said with a smile: "I really admire you now." Your lover can't stand you so much, and you still go to great lengths to keep the festival for him. ”

Fifth, Ling Ruo's eyes did not have a trace of emotion, and he said coldly: "You are wrong! I'm just, I'm so disgusting with you men, I want to vomit when I see it, how can I let a man get close to me? ”

……

Ten years later,

Inside the Golden Light Gate,

The killer knife is light, and Li Yu is like a small white fish, flashing under the two knife nets, tossing and turning, thrilling.

"Who dares to commit murder?"

With a coquettish sound, the fifth Ling Ruo hurriedly stepped down, and at this moment, she had completely forgotten that Li Yu was still not sure what to do with her lover. But seeing a person exactly like him struggling under the knife net, she was in a hurry, so she completely ignored it.

A big car is coming,

A great net is thrown down,

Seeing it, he made a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate......
