Chapter 16: What Is the True Purpose?
Although the price of a small courtyard in this era is not as exaggerated as that of later generations, it can also be seen that Liu Ji is generous when he sends a village courtyard in the county.
"Yes, Brother Ji is bold, and it is more convenient for our brothers to meet each other, so you can come to the city." Judging Shiqi said with a smile, but he began to persuade Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun looked at the sincerity on Liu Ji's face, as well as the persuasion of the judge, and was a little unsure of what they meant.
It's no wonder that Zhao Jun thinks too much, Liu Ji's move is too sudden.
According to his observations, although Liu Ji has some hooliganism, he cares about his brothers and friends, and is a righteous man.
However, he has always done things in an orderly manner, and he is not the kind of completely hot-headed hero. It will not be easy to suffer, and it also has a unique vision and skill in attracting people's hearts and employing people.
And now, inexplicably giving myself a village will never be just for the convenience of communication.
At the beginning, Zhao Jun was still doubting whether Liu Ji wanted to use favors and help himself if he wanted to woo him. But now it seems that I am afraid that I have thought simply, because the human affection of a house is too great.
If it was a simple matter, Liu Ji would definitely not be like this.
"Thank you, but my brother and sister are used to living in the countryside and close to the fields, so it's really not suitable for them to move. If you want to find me, just call me and I'll come, and besides, a few miles is nothing. ”
Zhao Jun shook his head with a smile and refused. Regardless of whether Liu Ji had any purpose or not, Zhao Jun didn't want to owe favors easily.
Before, Liu Bang helped Zhao Jun gain a foothold in Pei County, although it was agreed first, but Zhao Jun understood that he already owed a favor, and if he accepted the small courtyard he gifted, he would owe a lot of favors.
"My eldest brother is kind-hearted, and you take yourself too seriously." Lu Juan suddenly couldn't help it, and slammed the ear cup on the table, and said extremely dissatisfied.
Zhao Jun frowned, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he glanced at Lu Juan coldly.
Seeing that the situation was not good at this time, he immediately raised his glass and said, "Come, Ah Jun, let's drink one." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Jun nodded, but he gave him this face, after all, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have been able to reconcile with Liu Ji easily.
"Juan" Liu Ji glared at Lu Juan fiercely, and he was furious, so that Lu Juan immediately stopped.
In the end, Lu Juan glared at Zhao Jun, but turned his head away. Zhao Jun looked indifferent, holding a wine glass, but he didn't take him seriously.
And the judge said with a smile: "Hey, don't be annoyed, since Ah Jun said so, there must be a hardship." Ah Jun, don't mind, Wan is this temper. ”
"Nothing."
Zhao Jun shook his head and said that he didn't mind, Lu Juan didn't plan to have a deep friendship, if it wasn't for his friendship with Liu Ji and Juan Shiqi, he would never drink with Lu Juan.
Liu Ji was actually a little stunned by Zhao Jun's refusal, after all, he thought that Zhao Jun was a half-grown teenager who was not deeply involved in the world, and coupled with his previous wooing, he should not refuse.
In fact, how did he know that Zhao Jun's actual heart was far greater than fifteen years old.
However, Liu Ji's adaptability is very strong, and with a smile in his tone, he doesn't care: "Okay, Ah Jun is young and ambitious, I underestimated Ah Jun." Come, let's not talk about it, drink. ”
"Drink."
Both Juan Shiqi and Zhao Jun raised their ear cups, only Lu Juan was still pisting his head, sulking, but he didn't respond.
Liu Ji glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "I said Lu Juan, when can you change your woman's temper, if you can't change it, you don't have to be my brother." ”
"Big brother" Lu Juan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Ji, and had to pick up the wine glass and drink it all.
Liu Ji smiled helplessly, and finally drank it all with Zhao Jun and Zhao Jun.
After drinking, Zhao Jun didn't speak, and he realized that Liu Ji's dissatisfaction with reprimanding Lu Juan just now was actually partly aimed at himself.
At this time, the judge suddenly said: "Brother Ajun, in fact, we came to you today because we wanted to discuss something with you. ”
Here it comes!
Zhao Jun was stunned in his heart, and he knew that he was going to get to the point.
Are you going to show your cards?
Just, suddenly.
Liu Ji interrupted with a smile: "Ah Qi, don't talk about it yet, don't talk about business today, drink." ”
After speaking, he picked up the ear cup and wiped it out. Judging the food for a moment, he was obviously a little stunned, but when he saw Liu Ji's gaze from the corner of his eyes, he immediately laughed dryly, and raised his ear cup to drink. Lu Juan naturally followed, but with a blink of an eye, he began to drink.
Zhao Jun paused for a moment, but did not raise his wine glass, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If there is anything you can't say, just say it, although I, Zhao Jun, am young, I also know the word love." If the brothers are in trouble, I, Zhao Jun, should do my best. ”
Judging by the fact that he was stunned again, he looked at Zhao Jun as if he was a little surprised, but he hesitated in his mouth: "This"
"Okay, Brother Ah Jun is really straightforward, it's enough to have your words." Liu Ji smiled at this time. However, he immediately said: "I came to you today, and there is indeed something wrong." But I thought about it. It's better that you don't get involved in this matter for the time being, if you really need it, I'm looking for you, and I believe that Ah Jun will not let us down. ”
"In that case, it's fine." Zhao Jun smiled, lowered his head, but secretly said in his heart that Liu Ji was really powerful.
I left a way back, wanting to see his hole cards, but I didn't think that Liu Ji was aware of his intentions, so he fooled the past. It seems that the days of calm are numbered, and it is necessary to regain strength as soon as possible.
A few people ate and drank again, and Zhao Jun saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and left. When I went back, I went to Fan Xu's house by the way, took two dog legs, chatted with Fan Xu, and walked home.
Cao's liquor shop, at this time, Liu Jihe and the trial of Shiqi, as well as Lu Juan and others were still there. Including Cao Ji, who also walked to the side.
"Big brother, why didn't you explain it to Zhao Jun today? Didn't you say that you want to let him join the gang today? Are you still afraid that he won't succeed? Lu Juan said beside him.
Cao Ji also said strangely: "Bang, you are not a person who can suffer, today is all for himself, our wine shop did not entertain guests." But he didn't say anything. ”
Liu Ji smiled, continued to bow his head and eat meat, but said: "Ah Qi, you have a smart brain, you tell Cao Ji, did I talk to Zhao Jun today?" ”
Cao Ji was stunned for a moment, and she had to judge her to tell me, I was obviously listening to it.
I only listened to the judge: "Brother Ji did say it, and I didn't understand it at first, until finally Zhao Jun asked what was going on, and Brother Ji didn't say it, so I didn't understand."
The reason why Brother Ji sent the house first was to test Zhao Jun, if he accepted it, then we would be able to talk about the rest of the matter. It's a pity that Zhao Jun didn't accept it. If you say it out rashly, I am afraid that it will cause trouble, after all, our business is not very glorious. ”
"He dares, if he offends us, do you want to gain a foothold in Pei County?" Lu Xuan's face suddenly turned red, as long as Zhao Jun was mentioned, he was angry.
Liu Ji looked at Lu Juan and asked rhetorically: "Then do you think he dares to call a madman for nothing?" Lu Wan was stunned, but he didn't speak.
Cao Ji asked again: "But I still have doubts, it has nothing to do with whether Bang said it or not." ”
"Yes." Judging Shiqi said: "Zhao Jun didn't accept the house, he should have guessed that we had ulterior motives, and in the end, he asked what was going on, but there was a temptation. That sentence that he should do his best proves that he is on guard.
Therefore, Brother Ji is actually that, but Brother Ji is clever and does not say it explicitly. Before revealing the specific things, he tested Zhao Jun's bottom line. ‘
Cao Ji nodded, Liu Ji did not say it explicitly, but he did not leave a trace, so he tried out Zhao Jun's heart, so he did not expose his hole cards. Lu Juan also nodded, but he noticed the verbal confrontation between Zhao Jun and Liu Ji before.
Liu Ji nodded, his eyes were pensive, and he sighed in his mouth and said: "Yes, Ah Jun's young ambition is rare to be able to resist temptation and be determined. ”
Judging Shiqi was puzzled: "Ah Jun is still very righteous, isn't Brother Ji ready to subdue him, and that matter, doesn't Brother Ji want to subdue him and do it together?" ”
"Huh." Liu Ji smiled when he heard this, looked at the sunset in the distance, and thought deeply: "I can feel that there is a tiger in Ah Jun's chest. And we are currently just a small deflated person in a remote place, he has great ambitions in his heart, and it is impossible to be trapped by us. ”
After hearing this, he frowned and said, "But that thing, I'm afraid"
Lu Juan also said: "Yes, we don't want to do it over there in the swamp, but if that thing can be successful, we don't have to worry about it in the future." ”
Liu Ji shook his head and said, "You guys think too much, there is still a year to go before this matter, maybe something will happen." At present, there are a few of us, and it is enough to advance and retreat on the side of the swamp, and there is no less of him.
I am saying that if that incident really comes, we still have a chance to win the help of the Afghan army. ”
Cao Ji was stunned: "Didn't you say that Zhao Jun is a person that we can't control?" Why, there will be a chance. ”
"Women's homes." Liu Ji glared, but then smiled again: "Do you know the story of me and my father." ”
"What's the story?" Judging his Lu Juan and Cao Ji, they were all stunned.
Liu Jidao: "When I was a child, my father often asked me to worship ghosts and gods, I thought, this ghost god can't work in the fields for our family, it's better to be a cow, why should I worship him?"
Therefore, I often secretly took my father's tribute to the ghosts and gods and secretly took them to eat for myself. Until one day, I was playing outside, and suddenly it rained heavily and it was dark, and I couldn't go back, so I was so frightened that I trembled before I remembered the ghosts and gods, so I asked God to worship the sky, and sure enough, it didn't rain anymore, and the sky was bright again.
Since then, I have developed a respect for ghosts and gods, and later I met a wanderer who told me that ghosts and gods cannot be controlled by mortals, but if you are sincere, he can help you when you are most critical or when your life is in danger. ”
After listening to Liu Ji's speech, his face brightened, but he understood what Liu Ji meant.
And Lu Juan also nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, Cao Ji suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Isn't this what you often talk about, make good friends and use them later." I know, don't worry, when Brother Ajun comes, he won't be charged for food. ”
"You woman, you dare to seduce him in the future, see if I don't clean you up." Liu Ji scolded with a smile.
Cao Ji smiled seductively and said, "Then you come, I'm afraid you don't have that ability." ”
ps: To be honest, I dreamed at night, and I dreamed that I rushed to the new book list, and woke up directly, Nima cheated on the father, turned on the computer and looked, there was still the last place.
In the end, I didn't sleep well at night, but after so many days, everyone's efforts are still good. At present, the number of people in our book collection is close to 100 people, if half of them can vote, after the early morning, it will be on the new book list, there will be no suspense!
