354 Inscrutable relationships
Sure enough, as Cao Zhe said, Cui Yu, the head of the underworld, set off to return to the underworld early the next morning. It is said that when he left, he took with him a more generous tribute than in previous years, and he must have returned satisfied, and it was not in vain that he visited this trip in person.
In the evening, I happily went to the upper city for an appointment and went to the Lotus Bar to have a drink with Cao Zhe. This has always been the base of my exchange of information with him, and we have benefited from each other.
As soon as I sat down, Cao Zhe revealed to me what he called "good news". In fact, this good news has little to do with me, but it is the goal that Cao Zhe has been thinking about for three years: "Xiaohe finally agreed to date me!" ”
I looked at his triumphant expression and felt a little funny, "Finally? You're too slow! ”
"Hey, it's important to be persistent!"
He said as he rolled his eyes at Xiaohe. Xiaohe gave him a blank look, but I could see that the attitude between the two of them was indeed ambiguous.
"Where are you going on a date?" I smiled and asked Cao Zhe, "There is no good place to fall in love in this Zuoqiu City." ”
"That's why I planned to take her to the yang world to play!" Cao Zhe looked as if he was confident, "Next month, she and I can take a vacation, go up together to find a good place to vacation, romantic and romantic!" ”
"Then congratulations, take advantage of the opportunity!" I said.
"Hey, my old virgin has opened up, what about you?" Cao Zhe then rarely cared about my emotional problems.
"Me?"
"That's right! How are you and Liu Han doing? ”
I was immediately embarrassed, could it be that the matter of my tryst with Liu Han was actually inquired about by Cao Zhe's "bag inquiry"?
Cao Zhe really showed a narrow expression, and continued to ask me: "I heard that the relationship between you and her is not just a simple relationship of killing the enemy together!" ”
I sputtered, "You, who are you listening to?" What's wrong with my relationship with her? ”
"Hey, it's just that someone in the team spread it, so I came to ask you if that's the case?"
I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this, so I scolded: "Damn! Do you know it's a lie? ”
"Is there any?"
"Oops, nothing!"
I still blushed and flatly denied it. There is only a physical relationship between me and Liu Han, not an emotional relationship, how can I tell others this kind of thing casually? I'm not the kind of playboy who likes to show off everywhere after flirting with girls!
In order to get rid of this embarrassing topic, I urged Cao Zhe to drink one after another, and then changed the topic very casually, asked about Cui Yu's visit, and asked if there was any inside information here?
"That's for sure!" Cao Zhe couldn't control his mouth after drinking too much, and he showed his bottom as soon as he opened his mouth, "This time, it is rare for the master of the underworld Cui to come in person, in addition to taking away a large number of tributes, he just wants to find the main person in Zuoqiu City!" ”
"Someone? Who do you want? ”
"The underworld wants to recruit a group of Yin cultivators from Zuoqiu City to go to the underworld to serve as Yin soldiers and Yin errands!"
"Why is he?" I was taken aback, "The underworld is so strong now, can it directly recruit troops from Yin City?" ”
Cao Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Difu is not here to forcibly recruit troops this time, but to discuss it with the Zuoqiu City Lord. ”
"What are you discussing?" I'm still confused.
"Let's talk about dealing with the ghost army! Recently, the ghost army has been in chaos everywhere, trying to plot against the Yin City that the underworld is dissatisfied with, and the Yin City that does not obey them will directly send troops to attack. Therefore, in this matter, Zuoqiu City cannot be left alone, and it is consistent with the position and interests of the underworld. ”
"Well, I've heard of that, too."
Recently, the underworld has not been peaceful. The expansion of the ghost army is getting faster and faster, and it is said that the number of troops has reached tens of thousands. Although the strength of these ghost cultivators was uneven, such a force was more than enough to deal with some small Yin Cities. Therefore, most of the Yin Cities in various places formed alliances with each other, huddled together to keep warm, and supported each other once the ghost army came to attack.
But the whereabouts of the ghost army are erratic, and the ghost commander has always been good at rebellion. Before it wants to attack any Yin City, it will definitely sneak in first, instigate against the ghost cultivation in the city, and finally cooperate with the outside to capture the city in one fell swoop. In the past year, I have heard that three small yin cities have been breached by the ghost army.
This includes the ghost farms I once visited. There are also many ghosts there, but the exploitation of ghost slaves is too strong, and the owner of the village is not a good master. So I'm not at all surprised by the fall of Ghost Farm. After all, that kind of ruling method is too "ghostly"!
"The underworld has been busy quelling the rebellion everywhere, and all the major Yin commanders have complained about the lack of troops and asked for additional Yin soldiers. Chachasi is also complaining that there have been more and more evil spirits recently, and they are becoming more and more difficult to catch, and he also asked to supplement the ghost hunting error. That's why Cui Yu came to visit in person this time and asked Zuoqiu City to recruit two hundred Yin cultivators to enrich the underworld! ”
"Two hundred?" I was taken aback again, "If I'm not mistaken, there are only eight hundred guards in total, right?" Can the Zuoqiu City Lord agree? ”
Cao Zhe sneered: "Hmph, the city lord of Zuoqiu has already agreed!" He confessed to Yin Fa that he planned to select two hundred city guards from our city guards to go to the underworld, and the vacant city guards would be openly selected and supplemented in the city! ”
"Entering the underworld as a Yin soldier? Will anyone want to go on this kind of errand? ”
"Yes! The treatment given by the prefecture is very high, and if you go, you may not be selected into the Yin Army, and you may also be assigned to various divisions to serve as Yin Mission. I heard that those who performed well among them are also expected to be awarded positions directly. So there are many people in our team who want to go, and the rest are picked by Yin Fa. ”
"What about you? Do you want to go? ”
Cao Zhe laughed: "Of course I don't want to go!" I just picked up Xiaohe, where can I go? If I did, would I still be sitting here and giggling with you? ”
"That's good, or I'll have one less friend to talk to."
"That's right, come! Cheers! ”
"No, it should be dry!"
"Come on!"
Cao Zhe and I simply blew a bottle to celebrate. Then Cao Zhe beckoned Xiaohe and asked her to deliver wine.
Xiaohe's attitude really changed this time, and after she brought the wine, she stretched out a finger and poked Cao Zhe's forehead, and said angrily: "Don't drink more tonight!" Do you hear that? ”
"Hear! Yes, sir! Cao Zhe wanted to reach out and hug Xiaohe's waist, but she slapped it off.
She turned to me and said, "If he's drunk in a moment, you'll be responsible for sending him back!" ”
I smiled and said, "No problem! When was he drunk and I didn't send him back? ”
Xiaohe finally gently pinched Cao Zhe's face and went back to the bar. Cao Zhe was almost intoxicated when he looked at her back from behind, and that nymphomaniac look made me unbearable. However, if the two of them do get together, I will still be happy for them.
"Hey, you can also ask Liu Han out for a drink next time!" Cao Zhe, who was half-drunk, inexplicably pulled the topic to Liu Han again.
I didn't want to answer, so I pretended to drink, and just said "uh-huh" twice to deal with it.
But Cao Zhe's subsequent words made me squirt out all the wine I had just drunk.
"However, if you really have the intention of chasing her, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible! Just play and forget it! ”
I wondered, "Why do you say that?" ”
"She's been selected to go to the underworld's list!"
"Poof!" I was choked at the time, and I couldn't speak for a while, "Ahem, cough, cough!" Ahem, ahem! ”
Cao Zhe teased me while patting me on the back: "Don't you admit that you like people?" This time, let's show the stuffing! ”
I ignored his ridicule and hurriedly asked, "Is this accurate?" ”
"Exactly! What am I lying to you for? ”
"Is it Yin Fa's ghost?"
"Probably. After all, he has always looked at Liu Han unpleasantly! ”
"Then, what about the Teng family and the Qiu family's proposal?"
At this point, I hope those two competitors can get started.
Cao Zhe spread his hands, "I heard that they have all eaten closed-door soup, and Liu Han said that they will not marry any family!" ”
Which one doesn't marry?
I had mixed feelings in my heart. Is it because of me that Liu Han rejected them?
But she has always been very cold about emotional issues, and she never wants to discuss these things with me. Since the last time she turned her face, I didn't dare to mention it again.
When I heard the bad news, I was in a terrible mood and went on drinking. Ironically, Cao Zhe wasn't drunk that night, but I was, and in the end, he sent me back to my accommodation, who was so drunk.
When I woke up the next day, I sat all day and was depressed. In the end, he decided to have a showdown with Liu Han and asked her what she really thought. That night was the day of the tryst between the two of us, and Liu Han came as promised, and forcibly asked for it without saying a word. But I still vaguely feel that her attitude has changed, and it seems that she really has something on her mind!
After a few passions, I hesitated for a long time before I asked her, is there such a thing as being elected to the underworld?
I didn't want Liu Han to answer bluntly: "That's right!" I volunteered to go! ”
"Are you willing to go yourself?" I was taken aback again, "Why are you going to the underworld?" ”
"Don't you already know why?" Liu Han glanced at me and said lightly: "Anyway, now I can't stay in Zuoqiu City anymore, it's better to go to the underworld, maybe it can be cleaner in another place!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was anxious and blurted out: "You're gone, so what should I do?" ”
"You?" Liu Leng laughed and sneered: "What's the matter with me?" ”
With that, she got up and dressed. It seems that I chose to discuss this topic to upset her.
"Can you not go?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"Can't!"
Liu Han quickly put on his clothes and armor, and finally left a sentence without looking back before going out: "This time is the last time I come over, and it's useless for you to tie the red belt again!" ”
I was completely stunned.
It turns out that we have been together for so long, and I still don't have any place in her heart!
