Chapter 116: Playing Chess
Cheng Old Demon's sudden words immediately made Qin Ze stand in place, and only after half a sound did he react, and at the moment, he also raised his head and looked at Cheng Old Demon's eyes before, and his face became even paler in an instant.
The second tiger on the side was also stunned when he saw his young master like this, and he couldn't understand what Qin Ze had experienced in the carriage.
It's just that Qin Ze has no leisure to know the two tigers, and the words that Cheng Lao Demon said before leaving made Qin Ze feel afraid for a while.
I wanted to ask a few more questions, but Cheng Lao Demon would have already left. Qin Ze could only frown and look at the gate of the Cheng Mansion with a solemn expression.
At this time, a ragged beggar on the side of the street seemed to see Qin Ze, and went to Qin Ze's side with the broken bowl in his hand.
The people who came and went in the streets avoided the man. Some people also found that this beggar was walking towards Qin Ze, and he was also standing there at the moment and laughing.
Nowadays, who in Chang'an doesn't know that the donkey boy's hobbies are different from others, and these other scholars are all friends with some elegant people, and no matter how bad they are, they are also beautiful women. But this donkey boy is different from others, Cui Ling and Lu Qu don't like to socialize, but he likes to talk nonsense with these beggars.
Therefore, when the beggar of the entire Shengye Fang saw Qin Ze, it was like seeing his own food and clothing. No matter what, they all had to come to Qin Ze and ask for a thing or two. And the donkey boy also made a generous move, as long as this beggar said a few pitiful words, it was indispensable to have a few copper plates.
Therefore, as long as Qin Ze appears in the workshop now, he is an absolute man of the hour. There are so many boring people who like to watch Qin Ze's liveliness, and now they see a beggar approaching him, and they also stretched out their heads from afar and pointed at Qin Ze.
Qin Ze also saw this beggar approaching him, and glanced at the bowl in the other party's hand, and the solemnity on his face became even heavier.
"Uncle, can you reward a few copper coins for a meal?" There was dust on Qisuo'er's face, but someone still recognized him, this is Sun Sheng, who has been wandering around the east of Shengye Fang.
Qin Ze saw so many people looking at his jokes, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said to Sun Sheng: "The old rule is that as long as you can move me, these ten copper coins are yours." ”
Saying this, Qin Ze took out ten copper coins from his body and shook them at Sun Sheng.
Qin Ze discovered a long time ago that although the system said righteous words every time, it was too simple a task, but this guy directly blocked it. Therefore, no matter how much he tempted these beggars, it was impossible to add a wish to him.
"Uncle, the little one has been wandering around the east for three days, except for the kind old man who gave him a mouthful of food, even the bald monk ignored it. If the uncle doesn't save the little one, I'm afraid he won't be able to live for three days. "Sun Sheng hasn't dealt with Qin Ze once or twice, so he also knows a lot of routines.
When Qin Ze heard this, he laughed twice, raised the copper coin in his hand again and said, "If the bald monk doesn't give it, won't the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable give it either?" ”
"Uncle, the little one was looking for the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable from the beginning, but where would people care about the little me." As Sun Sheng spoke, he patted his belly pitifully. Indeed, apart from the rumbling of water, there was no other sound to be heard.
"Now, here you go." When Qin Ze heard this, he smiled happily, and threw the copper coin to Sun Sheng very happily.
"Take it and sell some good things to eat, don't wander around if it's okay, find something to do."
"Uncle laughed." Sun Sheng took the money, which would also be a good interest. After joking with Qin Ze, he left slowly.
As soon as Sun Sheng left, one of the people watching the excitement teased Qin Ze: "Donkey boy, you see that the little one hasn't eaten for a few days, so you can also give a few copper coins to save the emergency?" ”
"It's a donkey boy, and it's not easy for the little ones."
These people who watched the excitement also knew that Qin Ze had never been concerned with people, so it was nothing to make some jokes.
Qin Ze, as before, still smiled and scolded them in return a few words, before getting into the carriage again and returning to his courtyard.
Sitting on the steps of the courtyard, Qin Ze leaned on the pillar behind him and began to think about where he was negligent, and he was actually noticed by Cheng Laoyou.
Liu De's matter, it can be said that no one except Qin Ze and Erhu knows. Since the last assassination, Qin Ze has seen one thing. That is, although Jin Wuwei is only a small soldier, he represents the supreme imperial power behind him.
If Qin Ze wants to contain Taoism's actions against him, Liu De is an indispensable link, or Jin Wuwei. So in private, he also intended to win over Liu De, of course, Qin Ze did this very secretly, and he had always contacted Impermanence through Erhu and asked him to come forward.
But this is the case, today's words from Cheng Laoyou still made Qin Ze realize that things are far from being as simple as he thought.
"Don't get too deep?"
Qin Ze remembered Cheng Laoyou's words again, and it was obvious that this was a warning to himself not to continue to woo Liu De. After all, Jin Wuwei is Li Er's person, although he is only a patrolman, but if Li Er knows, he is also guilty of bullying the king.
However, listening to Cheng Laoyou's tone today, Li Er should not know about this matter yet. After all, wooing Liu De has always been impermanence in the dark, while Qin Ze is mainly responsible for attracting everyone's attention in the light. But now it seems that this Liu De must also be from the Cheng Mansion.
"Alas, why do you big guys have trouble getting along with my little concubine. You are powerful, let me still fight. Qin Ze sighed helplessly in his heart, turned to look at Erhu on the side, shook his head and said: "Liu De, give up, don't contact him again after this time, this is also Cheng Zhijie's biggest concession." ”
"And what did he ask for?" Erhu frowned and asked with some confusion.
"Promise him the same." If this kind of person can alarm Cheng Lao You, then he will definitely not be a simple person, and if he can be convenient with him, he must not be provoked. lest he stumble in the future, then there will really be nowhere to cry.
After saying this, Qin Ze also found that Erhu's face was obviously a little unhappy, and he knew that he didn't think it was worth it. At that moment, he patted Erhu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, I promise you that things will definitely come true." ”
After hearing this, Erhu raised his head and looked at Qin Ze. After thinking about it, he nodded, indicating that he knew.
With Qin Ze's identity and property, it is impossible to let impermanence do things for him. The reason why they can still be with them now is entirely because they are interested in one of Yuan Tiangang's things. And it just so happened that Qin Ze and Yuan Tiangang had a contradiction, so the two of them happened to take what they needed.
Qin Ze was responsible for helping Impermanence take out that thing, while Wubian was responsible for protecting Qin Ze's safety. And what exactly that thing is, Qin Ze still doesn't know.
After discussing this matter with Qin Ze, Erhu frowned again, looked around and asked Qin Ze, "Is there someone in the Cheng Mansion who is also following us?" ”
Erhu asked this sentence definitely not for no reason, all because of the look in the old demon Cheng when he got out of the carriage before.
At that time, Qin Ze looked at him and was directly stunned, because it was Sun Sheng who was in that direction.
If Liu De is the imperial help that Qin Ze seeks, then Sun Sheng is Qin Ze's real eyeliner.
He and the two tigers are in the light, and impermanence and the reckless cow are in the dark. Perhaps this is also the most information that those who follow Qin Ze can have. But they absolutely didn't know that in fact, Qin Ze's real power in the shadows was these beggars.
These people have no fixed residence, no power and no power, and no one will pay attention to them at all. But these people also have a huge advantage because they can get anywhere without alarming anyone.
The last time he gathered in the building, Qin Ze invited twelve beggars to dinner. Among the twelve people, in addition to Sun Sheng this time, there are also three people from Song Fang. There were only four people in total, but they were also carefully selected by Qin Ze, he was responsible for giving them food and clothing, and they were responsible for monitoring the Xuandu Temple and the Wuxian Temple for Qin Ze.
Gunpowder is a deadly temptation and a deadly threat to this religion.
Whether it is the palm thunder of Taoism or the heavenly punishment of the Buddha in Buddhism, this is not a power that people should master. If this kind of power exists in the body of the gods, it is naturally understandable, but if it exists in Qin Ze, it is a great threat to the divine power.
Not to mention that Qin Ze was still an atheist who didn't have any faith in the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, so they had to get this power, or destroy it.
Today, Sun Sheng said that he had been wandering around the east for three days, and the east was the code word between him and Qin Ze. refers to the Xuandu Temple, which means that Yuan Tiangang and they have already started to act three days ago.
The bald monks ignored it, which means that the Wuxian Temple is still holding a wait-and-see attitude and has no obvious action. And the last sentence can't live for three days, which is to tell Qin Ze that Xuanduguan is very likely to do it within three days. So Qin Ze's side is also going to start planning.
Qin Ze thought that no one knew about this power of Qisuo'er. But today, the glance of Cheng Laodemon before getting off the carriage still made Qin Ze feel a deep sense of crisis.
Qin Ze couldn't know what Cheng Lao Demon had mastered, or if it was just because Cheng Lao You's excessive insight had observed something. But no matter what, Qin Ze was not ready to let Sun Sheng and them follow too closely, so he told him not to wander around anymore, in fact, he asked them to pay attention to it these days.
All this is all Qin Ze can do, it is already his limit. The next thing he has to do is to make good use of this information, Xuanduguan covets gunpowder and wants to grab it, why doesn't he Qin Ze want to teach Xuanduguan a lesson.
As for the Xuanfa monk of Wuxian Temple, Qin Ze still hasn't understood it now, so it's not easy to make any decisions, so he can only say that he will wait and see what happens, and wait for impermanence to come back.
