Chapter Seventy-Four: Game Life
"I've traveled a lot with that NPC emperor," Leng Wentai said, "This is an amazing person, really An Ran, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that an NPC in the game would be so vivid, just like those Mingjun we saw on TV." Every time he went to a county, he had to personally inquire about the security, taxation, people's livelihood, and education of the county, and this Emperor Jinhui knew everything about the local cities far away from the capital, and how many households there were in a city; the number of soldiers and officials who rule over the city; approximate harvest in a year; He can figure it out, and even once when he was in Guanxia County, he could still say that the county master was the one who was the one in that year, which was really admirable. ”
"Maybe it's the calculation of the system?" An Ran smiled, "Of course, the Jin Kingdom we were born in is so smooth, which is related to Emperor Jinhui's diligence and love for the people." Among the three emperors in the history of Jinguo, Li Chongting, the ancestor of Jinguo, and he is the most capable, according to the history we have learned, it is not an exaggeration to conclude this period of Jinguo as 'Taihui Prosperous Era', and I probably don't know about the later monarchs, but from the news I have learned in the capital so far, if it is the prince named 'Li Jiade' who succeeds to the throne, I am afraid it is much worse than him. This kid has been secretly accumulating strength, who is he going to deal with? He's Lao Tzu? Or is it the brother who is far away in the Northern Desert? ”
"It's all possible!" Leng Wentai thought for a while and said: "After all, Emperor Jinhui is in his fifties, and he can reign for many years if nothing else, if Li Jiade has coveted the throne for a long time, it is also possible to kill the monarch if he can't wait." As for the eldest prince who sits in the Northern Desert, the Northern Desert Army under his command is more than one million, once it turns around and swings the spearhead in the capital, how can the fledgling prince compete? Therefore, it is normal for Li Jiade to secretly cultivate his own forces. ”
"Hmm!" An Ran agreed, and then asked, "Hey, did you say that the assassination in Huluxia was done by one of his two sons?" And things are very strange, one is that Ye Hong gave us a task to protect Emperor Jinhui, how could this old Wang Ba be so sure that there would be an accident in Hulu Gorge? What did he calculate based on the terrain? Or do you know the inside story? The second is that the crown prince already knows about Hulu Gorge, which shows that there must be someone else in the emperor's accompanying team to inform the news. From Li Jiade's mouth, this assassination incident is related to the eldest prince, after all, some Taoist priests in Taiyuan Mountain seem to have a certain relationship with the eldest prince Li Jiazhen. ”
"Who knows?" Leng Wentai rubbed his temples, "For the assassination of Hulu Gorge, the NPC emperor didn't say a word as if it had never happened, during the southern tour, he still rubbed the grain, grass, troops and geographical environment of the counties, but if Li Qishang returned to the capital, I am afraid that he will settle the account after the autumn, who can afford the crime of killing the king?" The Taiyi Sect must be the first to bear the brunt of it, will the two sons of Emperor Jinhui suffer and who will suffer? It's not good to say, as you said that the thing is very strange, on the surface, it seems that it is very likely that the prince will kill the king, because the emperor has already supervised the country, and the successor to the throne is basically Li Jiade, if he wants to be the emperor, he can only rely on it, and the emperor happens to tour the south, so he simply does not do anything, first kills Emperor Jinhui and then leads troops to attack the capital, and takes Li Jiade down and blames the crown prince for the crime of killing the monarch and ascends the throne as the emperor himself. But who can say for sure if this is a conspiracy behind Ligard's back? He arranged this assassination to make Emperor Jinhui suspicious of the eldest prince, and it is difficult to say that he used the emperor's hand to get rid of Li Jiazhen, because on the other hand, the most unlikely assassination of the emperor was him Li Jiade, and the most unlikely and most likely. ”
"I can only take one step at a time," An Ran extinguished the burned cigarette butt in his hand, "Anyway, this kind of plot of the prince in the game will definitely involve us players, my month in the capital, that *** is also three days, a small invitation, five days and a big banquet to try to win over, from the banquet I also saw that many powerful players and NPCs are Li Jiade's guests, court officials, wealthy merchants, high-rollers, scribes and warriors, gang leaders, hum!" This prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He asked his subordinates to test my willingness to serve in the Imperial City Division, and set up a branch helm in the capital of the Tai'an Gang, is this going to set up a spy agency? ”
"The Imperial City Division does have a system of being in charge of the prohibition of entering and exiting the palace and secretly serving hundreds of officials, but this spy agency is directly subordinate to the emperor, and he Li Jiade has not yet sat on the throne! How can it? How dare you? ”
"That's why I said this prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
"Did you promise him?" Leng Wentai peeled an orange and handed it to An Ran.
"I didn't say yes or no," said the young man, taking the orange, "I always feel that this kind of task cannot be decided lightly, so I have to listen to my brother's opinion." ”
"That's right," the Guozi face Zhongnian reported with an affirmative gaze, "Jinguo is going to war with the Luohan Kingdom, according to Emperor Jinhui's style, he wants to be safe before he goes outside, I don't know why he took me on the southern tour, it stands to reason that even though our Tai'an Gang has 100,000 gangs, it is not big enough to make the emperor personally pity, this is probably related to Ye Hong's recommendation!" When Master Ye came to inform me that I could tour the south with the emperor, I knew that the relationship between them was not simple. So for now, at least His Majesty the Emperor wants me, you, the Tai'an Gang, and some other gangs to do something about the war. If we rashly join the prince's camp at this time, I am afraid it may not be a good thing for us. But rashly refused......"
"But it's not good to rashly refuse the crown prince," An Ran moved his body while eating oranges, "I think so, let's see if we can let Ma Yuan take a group of NPC gangs from the Tai'an Gang to the capital, and let Ma Yuan take charge of the rudder, as for the Imperial City Division, it must not be filled by someone from the Tai'an Gang-I have a candidate-Ma Yuan and his NPC gang are only doing business in the capital, and they must not participate in the planning of ***." ”
"I'm afraid he doesn't want to!" Leng Wentai said with a smile, "Obviously, Li Jiade is going to pull you and our Tai'an Gang into the gang, if you don't go to the Imperial City Division to do things for him, he will naturally not let others go to that department, and it is still unknown whether our Tai'an Gang can go to the capital!" ”
"What's wrong with his reluctance?" An Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Lao Tzu is a player, do you still care about the feelings of a NPC?" It's a big deal to be my enemy, anyway, I won't be able to stay in this capital for a few days, and the trip to the Northern Desert can't be delayed any longer. ”
At this moment, Leng Xue had already cleaned up and came to the living room, she floated to the sofa like a butterfly and sat between the two of them, with her wrist on a man's shoulder. "What are you two talking about? So dedicated. ”
"Discuss your marriage." Leng Wentai said very seriously.
"Hah! Brother, I'm still studying! You can figure it out. Leng Xue slapped her brother on the shoulder.
An Ran couldn't help but smile.
"You're happy, aren't you?" Leng Xue gave her sweetheart another look.
"Lie to you! Seriously. Leng Wentai also laughed, "We're talking about some things in the game, why don't you make us a cup of tea?" ”
"Good, good, good!" The girl snorted and said coquettishly: "I don't know if he is kissed by you or by you." She muttered and went back to making tea.
"On the boat on the Sleepy Dragon River, Emperor Jinhui asked about you and Fan Yuntian, and I said that you are probably going to the Northern Desert. Li Qishang means that you can go to the Northern Desert for a walk, anyway, you kid also has the portable jade pendant he gave him, and it is impossible for the eldest prince not to know him. If you can help the eldest prince to sit in the north, it can lay the foundation for the future 'north-south attack'. ”
"North-South flank?" An Ran scraped his chin with his fingers, "It turns out that this NPC emperor has already thought about it in Hulu Gorge?" You lead the gang of our Tai'an Gang to flank the enemy army of the Rohan Kingdom with their NPCs, no wonder he wanted to give me a jade pendant in the first place, this emperor is really far-sighted. ”
"It's not all, when he gave you the jade pendant, he didn't know that you would go to the Northern Desert, and he only learned from me that you were going to the Northern Desert to have this plan. As for why he gave you the portable jade pendant that represented power in the first place, whether it was to repay the rescue or other reasons, I don't know. ”
"Hey! Whatever," An Ran sighed: "Anyway, for me, it's a trip to wherever I go, originally I wanted to find Huang Haihao's bones and see if I can help you find that Fang Tian Halberd, if I go to the Northern Desert to get in touch with that big prince, it's not bad." Elder brother! I always feel that the direction behind this game is actually not simple, from some of the big characters I came into contact with - Mei Si'an, Guo Rufeng, Guo Rufeng, two sisters, Bai Jiao, Comic Heart Monk, of course, there is a possibility to see Ouyang Zhishan and other powerful characters in the future, these legendary and god-level NPCs have the ability to sweep away thousands of troops with a wave of their hands. On Qingyun Mountain, Mei Si'an personally told me that in the eyes of her and even higher beings, the disputes between this dynasty and the world are just like a group of ants fighting, and all the conspiracies and conspiracy are no match for the fingers of the immortals, but the immortals are too lazy to pay attention to the rules set by the saints so that they do not participate in the affairs of the world for the time being, but what if one day they participate? That's why Mesian said that she wanted me to learn to practice, and she wanted me to follow a different path than most people, which is one of the reasons why I wouldn't get involved in the royal struggle for power, because it wasn't the path I was going to take. ”
Leng Xue had already made tea and heard their conversation, she gently placed the teacup on the coffee table.
"It's a pity that An Ran, I can't go to the Northern Desert with you to enjoy the scenery of the grassland this time," the girl said regretfully, "The old virgin Miao Pingping of Yunsong Valley has set a ban for me, not to shoot through 100,000 tree targets, and not to let this girl out of that Yunsong Valley." ”
"Old virgin?" An Ran and Leng Wentai asked in surprise at the same time.
"Hmm!" The girl said depressedly, "I met an NPC when I went to Yunsong Valley to do a task, I had to let someone else be her master, I saw her arrows and the system message was reminding me to recognize her as a master, but this old virgin accepted the apprentice and immediately changed her face, and asked me to practice basic archery every day to shoot tree targets and annoyed to death, since the last time I secretly came to the capital to see you go back, she didn't give me a good look, and I was grounded in Yunsong Valley and didn't complete her task and was not allowed to leave." ”
"Do you dare to love that you ran out of the capital last time you came to the capital?" An Ran smiled dumbly, "So it's forgivable that your NPC master is about you, it's me and I can be forgiven." ”
"Humph!" She glared at him in a fierce manner, "You dare! ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Leng Wentai tapped his finger on the coffee table and reminded: "Be serious, I'm talking about business, I'm still here, you two are starting to talk about you and me?" ”
The two pointed at each other, and each smiled slightly.
"Everyone has a different path to go," Leng Wentai pulled the topic back, "From the perspective of the profession of the game character, different professions may be systematically arranged with different opportunities and cultivation, just like I will probably go to the battlefield, Xue'er will learn archery, you will travel, go east to learn the sword, Gu Ping will practice the law, Ji Ping will cultivate the Tao, etc., from the perspective of the development of our Tai'an Gang, the brothers who play together will gradually live in different places to deal with the affairs of the gang, unlike the previous online games, Today, we will farm monsters together and fight all night.,Tomorrow we can go together to find a certain boss's bad luck.。 This is probably the charm of China! It gives every player the feeling of entering another world and finding another life. It's just! This game is a bit brain-burning, and the NPCs are fighting wits and courage, which makes me a little overwhelmed. ”
"It's just that sometimes I feel a little tired." I also have a deep understanding of the cold snow.
"Do you feel it too?" An Ran thought, "When I first went to Xiliangcheng, I felt that this game was different from many online games, why didn't the Huaxia mastermind write a novel?" What a fucking bastard. ”
"You can't afford it," An Ran quipped, "You are our gang leader, the mainstay of the Tai'an Gang, and a man must not say that he can't." ”
The middle-aged man gave him a rare and indecent look, "So! I'm going to sell my shares in the company and become a non-professional gamer from now on. ”
"Are you serious?" An Ran, who was drinking tea, almost choked, "That's the company you've been running for many years!" How do you say that you can put it down now? You know, many people do it as a life's work. ”
Leng Xue didn't show anything unusual, it seemed that she had known about it for a long time.
"It's a pity that it's not my life's work," Leng Wentai said slowly: "The purpose of my business from beginning to end is just to find money, and the purpose of finding money is to make myself and the people I care about live better. In addition to fulfilling the responsibilities that people should have in life, shouldn't the rest be happy and live? Whether you want to get by or chase your dreams, the ultimate goal is to be able to feel happy. I feel that Huaxia can make my blood surge, there are things I need, so I put down the burden of reality and chase it wholeheartedly, I am happy. ”
"Brother! Seriously, I admire you very much," An Ran said sincerely: "The husband can act and can afford to put it down, but it is difficult to do it, many people don't want to say that they are brave and retreating, that is, they haven't even been able to figure out what they want, so they are busy and nightmarish in the end, but they are not happy at all." In short, no matter what decision you make, Cher and I will support you. ”
"Hmm!" Leng Xue nodded along with her.
"Good boy, we are originally a family, you don't support me, who supports me?" He lightly punched him in the chest and laughed, "So! The important thing for you and Xue'er is to be happy, no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to be unhappy, my brother has nothing to ask you to be happy. ”
He can treat An Ran as a family, An Ran is naturally grateful, and the handsome young man just nodded heavily.
"What about you?" Leng Xue didn't open any pot and which pot to mention, "Have you made Sister Yaqing happy?" Brother, didn't I say you, how many years have you and Sister Yaqing been? What woman can stand up to so many years of waiting? ”
"You girl is getting more and more disagreeable!" Leng Wentai immediately sat up and made a parental gesture, "Is there anyone who talks to your brother like this?" ”
But she was not afraid of him at all, "It was meant to be! The girl muttered.
"Take care of your own business," the middle-aged man was defeated, "I'll explain to you Sister Yaqing." ”
"Oh~!" Leng Xue looked at An Ran with a look that I knew, and smiled. Then An Ran also laughed.
"This girl is really getting more and more disagreeable, I'm going to take a shower and I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, don't go to bed too late tomorrow and you'll have to travel hundreds of miles." The middle-aged man stood up and went upstairs alone.
Their homely conversation ended, leaving An Ran and Leng Xue chatting while watching soap operas in the living room, and then both of them went back to their respective rooms to sleep when they were sleepy.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day An Ran and Leng Xue returned to XX City together, Leng Wentai wanted to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to go through the procedures for equity change, and the three of them left the Dahuwan villa early in the morning, and the house became empty again.
"I received a call from Huang Yuting last night, saying that Liu Rui drank a lot of wine and was probably drunk, and then he cried while singing, that heart! It feels like it's all shattered into glass slag. Leng Xue said as he drove.
"The beloved woman doesn't love herself, and if she runs away with another man, it's me and I cry." An Ran, who was sitting in the co-pilot, yawned and said tepidly.
"So you still think he's a little pitiful and sympathetic to him?" The girl glanced quickly at her sweetheart, then at the front.
"Go on!" An Ran twisted the air conditioner to turn up the wind a little more, "There must be a story behind." ”
"Wow! How do you know? Leng Xue was taken aback and continued, "Later, a girl took the initiative to sing with him, and the girl also cried while singing, and the two instantly had a feeling that they were both fallen from the end of the world." And guess what? ”
"After singing a song, I returned to my seat, and the two of us hugged each other and comforted each other!" The handsome young man replied with his hands behind his head in boredom.
The girl was really surprised at this time, what he said was really the same as what Huang Yuting said on the phone. "How could he be so aware of such things? Could it be ......" The girl thought of this and glanced at An Ran.
"What?" An Ran shuddered a little.
"Have you ever done this kind of thing before? Otherwise, how could he have guessed so accurately. Leng Xue began to interrogate.
"Please, grandma!" An Ran immediately came to the spirit and explained: "Aren't there many such plots in the many romance novels that you girls love to read? Haven't seen a pig arch or ever seen a pig run? ”
Leng Xue, who had a serious face, was amused by his last sentence and burst out laughing.
"How come you've seen a pig arch your mouth? Oh! She tapped An Ran with a finger, "I know, probably in the middle of the night last night, you couldn't sleep and secretly ran out to watch other people's shows!" How about telling my aunt and grandmother if it is fragrant or not! ”
"Drive well," An Ran said angrily, "According to the plot in the romance novel, in fact, this girl has always had a crush on this lovelorn boy, and she was a little sad when she saw him heartbroken, but more of an idea was that she felt that the opportunity came and immediately took advantage of it, as for whether they would kiss each other and do something after that...... Under the stimulation of alcohol, this is really uncertain. ”
"Awesome!" The girl gave her sweetheart a thumbs up, "An Ran, you can go write romance novels, and it's a waste of your talent to play any games." Tu Yan turned out to be a crush, according to Huang Yuting, Liu Yi and Tu Yan walked together, and when they went in, everyone still respected each other and hugged each other when they came out. ”
"Or what do you think?" An Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, and then said, "What kind of party are a bunch of young men and women going to have nothing to do, is it really for dinner?" It's not about looking for a chance to confess to the princess and prince in your heart. ”
"Of course I do!" Leng Xue was unconvinced: "So this girl has never participated in such a party, what's the point?" To put it nicely, it is classmates to exchange feelings together, and to put it badly, it is to drink and indulge, and under the stimulation of alcohol, the language is frivolous and hugging. I don't know what they think, anyway, as a girl, you should be clean, and you can only be the person you love the man. After the party, the people who love each other go to the hotel to do something together, but it's nothing, you say that if two people who can't get together at all and then go to open a room, wouldn't it be disgusting to think about it one day? ”
"So my Xue'er is the most beautiful," An Ran suddenly said a love sentence, "Not only is your body beautiful, but your soul is even more immaculate." ”
"Ouch! It's sweet to me," Leng Xue said with a giggle, "So I actually don't have many friends at school, and many times I always seem to have a distance from them, which is probably the difference between people!" ”
"Of course, a swan will look out of place in a flock of chickens," said An Ran, "It's not the swan's fault, it's just that the chickens are not qualified to be friends with it!" ”
She didn't speak, looked ahead and drove seriously, and only after half a salary did she say again: "There were really a lot of boys and girls who left holding hands last night, do you think it would be exciting for them to get that outside?" ...... in the grove, on the river, in the hotel"
"Hey! It's yellow! An Ran reminded, "We haven't arrived home yet?" Drive seriously, don't be careful, and when you get home, Gongzi An will tell you a little story about the grove. ”
"Cut!" The girl glanced at her sweetheart with disgust, "It's like I'm very old-fashioned, and my hands are shaking when I first contact someone, and I can't even find a place." ”
An Ran was speechless when he choked on a sentence, what did he say? Keep talking to her on this topic? What the are you driving? Just find a high-speed exit, get off the highway, and find a place to quench your hunger and thirst first. It's a highway, and it's easy to get into trouble all the time, and if it's in a novel, it's easy to be banned if the bastard author writes these passages.
But the saying that women are tigers is not called in vain, they can think of it at any time in front of their beloved, and they can swallow him in one bite.
So this red MINI car is running fast on the highway, because the cold snow is already like an arrow.
