Chapter Seventy-Eight: It Seems to Be an Old Man
Xizhou, where there were still scattered snowflakes yesterday night, was a bright sunny day the next morning.
Hua Hate Liu was sitting listlessly in the front hall at this time having breakfast with Yang Wu and the others. Correspondingly, it seems that the spirit of the others in the entire hall is exceptionally good, except for the sky.
"Lantern, shall we go out and play after dinner?" The lantern naturally rested with Yang Jian yesterday, which made Tian not afraid of lingering, but under Yang Jian's obscenity, he still silently accepted this fact.
Therefore, before dawn - less than three hours after returning from the barracks to rest, to be exact, he jumped to the front yard and the lantern was long and the lantern was short, and the whole city lord's mansion was disturbed, and it was not until the lantern got up half an hour ago that he stopped a little.
At this time, the old man Yang Duan, Yang Wu, Yang Jian and Hua Hate Liu all had a pair of panda eyes open, eating the rice in the bowl mechanically, and they didn't bother to clip the dishes. On the other hand, in the bowl of the lantern, he almost took a bamboo skewer from top to bottom and inserted it, and he was not afraid to hold the dishes for her diligently, as if he wanted to give him all the dishes on the table to eat!
"No, the old man can't compare to the young man, I have to go back to make up for sleep." After the old man finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.
"Elder En, I'll send you back!" Yang Wu hurriedly responded, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and stepped forward to help the old man go back.
What Hua hated Liu didn't know was that because he suddenly received the news of the fall of Queensland yesterday, the old man who originally planned to return to the Hui clan today had to temporarily live in Xizhou, and at any time he could take Yang Wu out of the affairs of the clan. And the other people in the clan also received their own tasks yesterday to go back to implement them, and strive to make the most adequate preparations before the fire of war reaches Xizhou.
"Senior Brother Mo will also go to Zhanzhou yesterday." At this time, Hua Hate Liu and Yang Jian were silent on the table, seeing that Hua Hate Liu looked blank, Yang Jian, who was originally also pretty, smiled and found a conversation.
"Ah......" Hua Hate Liu and Yang Jian were sitting opposite each other, and he could hear someone talking, he squinted his eyes and looked up, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yang Jian, who was smiling and simply put down the dishes and chopsticks and didn't eat.
After hearing her repeat the words again, he was suddenly startled and stood up from the stool: "True or false? ”
The lantern next to him was caught off guard, and his hands trembled when he was shocked by this action, and the tower in the bowl that had been piled up by the sky all morning collapsed in an instant. This makes Tian not afraid of being particularly unhappy, but considering that the future mother-in-law and father-in-law are known as the two "cold-blooded killers" of young people's beautiful love since ancient times, the power of life and death of their happiness falls into the hands of Hua Hate Liu, so he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, panicked to help clean the lantern, and began to "pile the tower" for the second time.
"Nature is true!" Yang Jian glanced at him, saw him sit down in a sullen voice again, and thought that he was so uninteresting, and immediately said: "I'll talk to the group of people in Xiyue later, do you have any ideas?" ”
"No idea." He replied in his mouth, but in his heart he was still thinking about Mo Fu's farewell: Why is Senior Brother in a hurry to return to Zhanzhou? It is said that sooner or later Huayu will set off half a day early, and at this time he is injured, and it is inconvenient to act, so there is no reason why Huayu can't let Huayu go back and say it!
Could it be that there is something inconvenient to say and I am afraid that Hua Yu will tell Xizhou late, so I will say it in person? This thought flashed in Hua Yuliu's heart: Impossible, the previous friendship between Hua Yuchi and Song Changgong is definitely not something that his people can understand, and its solidity is far beyond the imagination of this group of people, it is really inappropriate for Senior Brother Mo Fu to be so worried.
Don't...... Senior brother just to force Song Changgong to make up his mind? No, maybe it's more appropriate to help Song Changgong strengthen his determination. If it was just to listen to the late talk of the flowers, it would be difficult for Song Changgong to believe it, let alone help Weizhou deal with Guan Rao - it would be different when Mo Fu went back, with the prestige he had erected in the army and the serious injury he brought back, it was not easy for Song Changgong to deliberately erase the situation, so that Zhanzhou should be the first to move......
"Hey! Did you hear what I just said? Yang Jianzheng said how he met this team of West Vietnamese envoys who went to Queensland and Qin, and said to himself for a long time but saw that Hua Hate Liu just nodded but did not respond, and only after looking at it for a long time did he find that this person was wandering outside the world, with perfunctory "um" and "yes", but in fact, he didn't listen to it at all, how could this not make her angry.
"Huh? What-yes, I'm listening. Hua hated Liu was awakened by this "hey", but when she saw Yang Jian's eyes* about to spew fire, she immediately said: "But I don't know where to negotiate?" ”
"Half an hour later, the Cyclamen Tower." Obviously, Yang Jian was no longer interested in his so-called "eagerness", so after speaking in a deep voice, he directly stopped the dishes and chopsticks and turned to leave.
"Alas......" Hua hated Liu helplessly, and took two mouthfuls of rice, leaving this pair of living treasures who showed "affection" to ignore it, and went to discuss with She Qing first.
The cyclamen building can be regarded as the No. 1 restaurant in the whole western borderland, with Shunzhou and Zhanzhou in the north, Huazhou and Huaizhou in the south, and it is even said that there is a branch of the cyclamen building in the territory of Xiyue. And this place here in Xizhou is naturally the general number.
Hua Hate Liu and She Qing waited in the City Lord's Mansion for nearly a moment before they were told that Yang Jian had already gone out, and Hua Hate Liu, who felt bored, had no choice but to rush to the Cyclamen Tower with She Qing immediately.
The building is divided into four floors, the first floor is a place for ordinary guests to gather around the table, it is morning at this time, except for a few men who are diligent in cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, there are no other guests; On the second floor, in addition to several tables and chairs for banquets of many people, there are also several private rooms for sobering up and taking a short rest; The third floor is full of elegantly decorated and luxuriously arranged private rooms, which are not only spacious, but also have excellent sound insulation effect, which is convenient for businessmen and important government talks; The higher up the place becomes, the smaller it becomes, and when it reaches the fourth floor, there are only two private rooms, so it is simply opened up for meetings and entertainment, and in recent years, the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and the Oiran election have been held here.
As soon as I entered the building, I saw a person who looked like a shopkeeper coming forward and said, "Uncle, General Yang has just gone up to the fourth floor." ”
Hua hated Liu began to say that this "uncle" was not called to himself, but he came back to his senses in an instant: if he called his uncle, it means that this building is the property of the Yang family, so since the shopkeeper calls his uncle, there is no reason to call Yang Jian "General Yang", he should be called "Miss".
In this way, it can only be She Qing who shouts.
"Shopkeeper Zhou has worked hard, you continue to be busy!" She Qing smiled slightly, bowed down and saluted to Shopkeeper Zhou, and then explained as he walked upstairs: "In the past, Yueying had nothing to do at home, and she paid for someone to play upside down, but now she basically doesn't come out, and she will leave it all to her subordinates to take care of...... Why do you think of me like that? ”
It's no wonder that She Qing was not flustered, at this time, Hua Hate Liu rarely revealed a greedy look: "Do you know that I have begun to suspect that you came for someone else's property from the beginning?" ”
"Where!" She Qing shouted angrily: "Don't say that she is worth millions, even if she is penniless, I will still marry her!" ”
It's just that She Qing's defense sounds more like a show off to Hua Hate Liu: worth millions? This She Qing is really ...... Luck is not ordinary!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart: when Yang Jian asked himself last night, "Is the 200,000 silver ticket still there", he realized that the silver he had just received from Yang Jiuguan had been lost in less than half a day-it was really a flurry, and Hua Hatliu didn't even have time to see if it was a ticket of five hundred taels or a ticket of one thousand taels.
Fortunately, Yang Wu handed over the responsibility of this supervision to She Qing, he is so rich, he has a reason not to hand over the 200,000 silver tickets - if you want to be a student, you won't be so unreasonable, right?
Before they reached the fourth floor, the two of them heard a noisy sound overhead, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and knew that Yang Jian had come early to get straight to the point and put forward the conditions, as the two expected.
"No! There are so many conditions that we can't do them all! At first, one person vetoed it without hurry.
"That's it! My Da Yue country boy is also flesh and blood, and it is impossible to shed blood and sacrifice for the affairs of your Shu Kingdom! When Hua Hate Liu heard this, he felt as if he had heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember it suddenly, so he hurriedly raised his steps and "pedaled" upstairs.
"We don't have many people, as long as you give five hundred." As soon as I went upstairs, I heard Yang Jian say coldly.
Is there a mistake, do you want to take revenge or make friends, put on a stinky face, speak coldly, it's strange that others can give you a good look!
With a secret sigh in his heart, Hua hated Liu to raise his spirit, and said with a smile: "General Yang is really resolute in his work, and when he turned around, he found that he had lost the shadow of the general, he was really ashamed!" ”
When he said this, his voice was not loud, but the timing of the solemn scene was just right, Yang Jian also knew that if it continued like this, today's negotiations might end here, so he immediately snorted coldly and sent his anger to Hua Hate Liu: "It's not as good as Lord Zheng, early in the morning is in good spirits!" ”
Her words were contrary, and in the ears of She Qing and Hua Hate Liu, it naturally meant that she was not energetic in the morning and was always distracted, but on the other side, it sounded to a different meaning: a woman who looked like a flower sarcastically said that he was so energetic, could it be that kind of thing? Seeing the general's extreme disgust with him, I thought that it was early in the morning, and the envoy went to be a "benefactor"!
Hua hated Liu didn't know what the other party thought, turned around and smiled at the three people opposite: "Don't be surprised, the two of us are ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized why he heard a voice so familiar when he went upstairs just now: "You...... You're the one who didn't give money to eat at the inn and robbed the money! ”
Yes, at this time, among the three people standing opposite Hua Hate Liu, one of them is the person who Hua Hate Liu and Tian are not afraid to see at the "Laishun Inn" at the junction of Yan, Huai and Xiangzhou, when he took fifty catties of beef and one hundred steamed buns in the store, not only did not pay, but also robbed the owner's family, how could Hua Hate Liu forget this person!
When the person on the other side began to see Hua Hate Liu, he also felt as if he had seen it somewhere, and when he heard the other party mention his downfall, he immediately exclaimed: "Ah, you are the one who showed the way!" ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Hua Hate Liu then weakened a lot: although it was not himself who pointed the way that day, but he was not afraid to point the wrong way, and it also had something to do with himself.
Sure enough, when the leader of the group heard the "directions", he was immediately shocked and asked, "Deng Biao, what's going on!" ”
