Chapter Ninety-One: Meaning
Xun Chen spoke: "Where is Fengxiao now?" I haven't seen him for a long time, didn't I come with Wen Lie? Xu Ji replied with a smile: "This matter is a little inconvenient to reveal to Mr. Youruo, but it can be taught that Mr. Feng Xiao has other arrangements, and it is a big deal." After that, he raised his eyes and looked at Xun Chen.
Xun Chen also smiled, no longer entangled in this question, but instead asked, "Wen Lie, can you know what Wen Ruo is happy about?" ”
"Naturally, I know the way, and I can't help but be a little sorry if I can't be there in person because of official business. I don't know if Wen Ruo will blame me for this. Xu Ji nodded, and teased Xun Yu, who was far away in Yingyin. And Xun Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I am still in Yu County on the day of Wenruo's big day, so I am not there in person." I'm not afraid that Wen Ruo will blame me for not knowing the etiquette of my brother, so why should Wen Lie worry about such a small section? He smiled and looked at Xu Ji.
Xu Ji shook his head and said: "This is different, Wen Lie and Wen Ruo are close friends, this matter is not big, but it is not small." But presumably Yiwenruo's temperament will not embarrass me, but why did Mr. Youruo come to Yuxian County to look for me in such a hurry, and even missed his brother's wedding? ”
Xun Chen stared at Xu Ji with a straight face when he heard this, and said slowly: "Doesn't Wen Lie know such a purpose? You and I are not fools, and now that we have put aside our official status, can't Wen Lie still tell the truth? ”
Xu Ji replied playfully: "The truth also depends on who is right, if it is your own family, you will naturally know everything and say everything." And Mr. Youruo, Shu Wenlie's clumsy eyes, I really can't see whether Mr. Wenlie is Wenlie's own family. ”
These words are heart-wrenching, and they also nakedly force Xun Chen to tell him frankly, but this is also very fair. Something that is clear to both sides. And Xun Chen wanted to gain the upper hand in his words, but Xu Ji did not give an inch. And Xu Ji's words were faintly questioning Xun Chen, what is the truth for him not to tell the truth but let Xu Ji say it? And Xun Chen really doesn't belong to Xu Ji's side, so this is not wrong. But it made Xun Chen extremely uncomfortable, and between these sentences, all the secret words and painstaking atmosphere that Xun Chen had buried before were overturned, and all that remained was that they had to tell each other frankly, otherwise the two would never be able to talk about it again, and it would be meaningless to keep talking.
Xun Chen Yao nodded and said: "Wen Lie is still too upright after all, haven't you heard that it is easy to break?" The eldest husband can bend and stretch, Wen Lie doesn't know? Xu Ji smiled and replied, "So what? ”
Xun Chen smiled and said, "Why is Wen Lie doing this? A certain is not harmless to the heart of Wen Lie. ”
Xu Ji chuckled, "Let's talk about it." Do it, this Taoist ideal must be friends and Mr. Ruo doesn't need to be repeated by Wen Lie, right? After that, he looked at Xun Chen playfully, and didn't say more.
Xun Chen's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "Wen Lie has to be so rejecting people thousands of miles away? Xu Ji did not answer positively, but picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the table and ignored Xun Chen. And Xun Chen had to speak again: "Well, since Wen Lie has to be like this, then he will accompany him." If Wen Lie has anything to ask, just ask. Xun Chen also admitted, it is not interesting for him to consume Xu Ji so much, and it is enough to test it once. There is no need to flirt again and again. And Xun Chen also knew that Xu Ji was not an easy character to deal with, he had not forgotten the purpose of his trip, and he didn't want to delay too much time here, Yingyin's situation changed too quickly. He had to be on his toes at all times.
Xu Ji put down the bamboo scroll he had just picked up in his hand and said with a smile: "In this case, then Mr. might as well tell me why he came here." After that, he looked at Xun Chen with a smile.
"Wen Lie still wants to pretend that he doesn't know? Presumably Bong Hyo has already said this. Xun Chen looked helpless. Xu Ji's scoundrel appearance is really uncomfortable.
Xu Ji poured himself a glass of water and said, "Feng Xiao said this, but I don't know if Mr. Youruo has other purposes." ”
Xun Chen got up and walked to Xu Ji's side. He pressed his hand on Xu Ji's shoulder and said, "I wanted to see Wen Lie here, but now I have more ideas. Wen Lie, what kind of thing are you planning with Wen Ruo Fengxiao. Have you ever understood? Xu Ji turned his head to look at Xun Chen beside him, because he was sitting and carrying the light on his back, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could vaguely see the cold glint in his eyes.
Xu Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed away the hand that Xun Chen put on his shoulder and said, "Mr. Youruo, who is planning Wen Lie, must already know it, so why ask again?" Xun Chen's expression was still the same, he just retreated, and then looked at Xu Ji fixedly: "Wen Lie, have you ever thought about the consequences of this matter?" If the matter fails, what will you do? ”
Xu Ji replied expressionlessly: "There is no him, but a dead ear." Mr. Youruo wants to persuade Wenlie to give up? After that, he looked at Xun Chen coldly.
Xun Chen smiled, and then pointed at Xu Ji and said, "Wen Lie thinks that a certain person will do this futile thing? I just hope that Wen Lie will think about it carefully. Now that Wen Lie has made up his mind, it must be the same no matter who persuades him, since the matter has come to this, there is still something I want to ask, I don't know? ”
Xu Ji bowed his head and said, "Since there is, then ask." ”
Xun Chen changed his face when he heard this, and asked solemnly: "If what Wen Lie planned is done, how will he deal with himself?" ”
This is a big and small problem. Of course, this is not to ask Xu Ji how he thinks of his status, but to ask what kind of character Xu Ji wants to become. Once Xu Ji's plot succeeds, his exploits are enough to go down in history, but he still has two choices, one is an auxiliary minister, and Xu Ji's achievements will inevitably be a status above ten thousand people under one person, of course, Xu Ji also has a second choice, that is, to call himself emperor, and with Xu Ji's fame and merits at that time, this is also a logical thing.
This question is very tricky, Xu Ji doesn't know what kind of intentions Xun Chen asks this, but this does not prevent him from speculating about Xun Chen, Xun Chen is not a person who is loyal to the Han family, otherwise he would not have been involved after learning that Xu Ji had such an idea of disturbing the world. But even so, Xu Ji wasn't sure what the person in front of him was joining for, so he replied: "The future is still unknown, Wen Lie doesn't dare to say what will happen, he can only take one step at a time, what does Mr. think?" ”
Xun Chen smiled playfully, looked at Xu Ji's eyes and said: "That's Wen Lie's business, naturally there is no need for outsiders to say more, a certain is just to remind Wen Lie that everything has a degree, just like dealing with people, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad after this degree." As for where Wen Lie will go in the future and what kind of situation it will be, it is a matter of the benevolent and the wise will see the wise, so I won't say much. After that, Xun Chen paused and said again: "The only thing to worry about is the current situation, how can Wen Lie conclude that the situation will definitely go the way Wen Lie expected?" ”
Xu Ji picked up the cup again and drank a sip of water to moisten his tongue and said: "Wen Lie doesn't have the ability to predict the future, but now the big man, can he still be stable?" ”
For Xu Ji's rhetorical question, Xun Chen really can't refute it, the Yellow Turban began to fight for power at the beginning of the court, where did such a court have the leisure to take care of the life and death of the people? It is nothing more than allowing the situation to deteriorate, and if this continues, how can the world not be in chaos?
Thinking of this, Xun Chen couldn't help but feel a little depressed, he secretly sighed that he was born at the wrong time, if he ruled the world, he could naturally rely on his talents and abilities to make a career after a famous family, and he was born in troubled times, where would his future be?
"What Wen Lie said is that this big man, I'm afraid that the number of qi is really over." He let out a long sigh.
Of course, Xu Ji is also very emotional, Chen Tang's sentence "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away" are still in his ears, but now they are internal and external troubles, and the legacy left by the ancestors has been trampled by later generations, and what is even more unacceptable is that today's emperor is still indulging in mediocrity, which makes people believe that the Han Dynasty still has a future?
Xun Chen finally eased up from his emotions, and said with a free smile: "That's fine, it's time for me to think carefully about my way out, Wen Lie, I know that you have great ambitions, but the road is difficult." Although I don't know how far I can go, but Wen Lie, since he has decided to do it, don't stop, although the world is chaotic, there is a lot to be done, and I will wait and see Wen Lie's achievements. ”
Xu Ji slowly got up and saluted Xun Chen when he heard this, although Xun Chen did not make it clear that he would work for Xu Ji, but he faintly revealed the meaning of helping him, and Xu Ji is most worried about the instability of his rear now, the influence of Yingchuan's public opinion is far beyond its original influence, and with Xun Yu and Xun Chen's help, his worries will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, and Xun Yu can also do a lot of things for himself that he can't do.
As for Xu Ji's gift, Xun Chen took it for granted, originally he was not optimistic about Xu Ji's scheme, and he didn't even look down on Xu Ji as a person, but after meeting, he changed his original intention. Xun Chen saw in Xu Ji's forge ahead and unswerving faith, of course, this is not the point, the point is that Xun Chen clearly felt in Xu Ji's words that the mansion of the Han Dynasty was about to fall, and it was meaningless to continue to be loyal to this strange court that had no future, and Xu Ji was obviously a new force with great potential that was worth investing in. Yes, he is still weak, and he can't even support a county, but Xun Chen knows that Xu Ji will have support far beyond imagination, and he will bring the people, a poor family, and a strength far beyond the imagination of those in power.
He remembered the sentence he heard from Guo Jia, "The emperor is like a boat, the people are like water, and water can carry a boat and capsize a boat." And those who understand this truth, even if they seek power and usurp the throne, will never be a faint king.
Looking at Xu Ji, who was still a teenager in front of him, Xun Chen suddenly felt that he seemed to be old, and he didn't even think of things that he didn't even dare to think about were shown in this young man's blueprint.
"Wen Lie, remember your ambitions. Good news waiting for you in Yingchuan. (To be continued......)
