Chapter 40: The Gambling Contract

"Within three years, I will be crowned."

"Hahaha." Ye Yanqing laughed three times, but he didn't expect him to say such big words.

"I don't believe you, the triennial imperial examination, after three years, you are just a lifter, even if it is another three years, you are just a jinshi, I don't know if you are the champion, and you are still the prime minister!" Ye Yanqing was not sarcastic, but just stated a fact.

"I'll make you believe it."

This time, Ye Yanqing smiled and carefully examined Zhao Sanxi's expression, and did not see a trace of joke on Zhao Sanxi's face.

"Within three years, I will be crowned prime minister and fulfill the promise I just made, but I want you to buy me three years so that I can have enough ability to deal with internal and external troubles."

Zhao Sanxi faced this night Yan Qing and looked at him firmly, Ye Yan Qing suddenly felt that his figure had become taller, and he couldn't see the sickness when he first saw him.

"Okay, I promise you."

Ye Yanqing didn't know why he agreed, maybe it was because he saw the blood in his eyes and awakened his rare hot blood impulse, which he hadn't felt for a long time.

He has been relatively cold to his feelings since he was a child, and in order to win the senior brother and the second senior brother, he has been practicing martial arts most of the time, and rarely thinks about these things. Later, when I was able to beat the two senior brothers, I found that I was very weak to any emotion, and I could stand by and watch everything.

For a while, I felt that the river was suddenly quiet, and the two of them, one was a sick and weak scholar who had just been admitted to Xiucai, and the other was a down-and-out runaway, facing an unknown future, but they didn't expect to make such ambitions here.

"I'm looking forward to you in three years."

"Me too."

Relatively silent, listening to the rhythmic paddling, slowly approaching the bright place, the sound of silk and bamboo became clearer, and even the fragrance of rouge in the air could be asked.

"Hit! Hit me hard! These dirty things dare to steal Du Ye's money bag, don't you want to live? "From afar, I heard a woman scolding one by one, and her words were very vulgar, and her voice was sharp, which made people uncomfortable to listen to.

Ye Yanqing looked at it coldly, a five-zhang long ship did not seem big in so many ships, but it was not the smallest either.

On the deck, a boy of fifteen or sixteen was slammed to the ground by several stout men, and another was whipped his bare back. Every whip was a blood mark, but this young man was rare and stubborn, and he didn't even open his mouth to scream.

He clenched his fists and inserted his nails into his palms in an attempt to share some of the pain, his teeth biting the skin of his lower mouth, biting the skin with great force, and a trace of blood flowed down his jaw.

"Hmph, if you steal Uncle Ben's things, Uncle Ben, I'll teach you how to be a person again." On the other side, a man with oily hair and pink face was lying on a chaise longue, eating fruits from the beauty, and enjoying the massage of several good-looking women.

Judging by what he is wearing, he should also be a rich boy, but his face is a little abnormally pale, and it seems that he often lingers in the flowers, and his body is no longer good.

"Keep fighting, keep fighting. hit the little abacus on my Du Xun, the guts are fat enough! Du Xun lazily lay on the chaise longue, ignoring the light of hatred in the young man's eyes, for him, such a lowly person, offended him, and he didn't even have the qualifications to live, so why should he care if the other party hated him.

I don't know how many times he has been beaten, the skin on his back has been opened, I don't know if he has been numb, the young man still doesn't gnaw.

"Ji Yun!" Suddenly, a little girl, also fifteen or sixteen years old, ran out of the cabin, and anxiously pounced on the young man's body, allowing the whip to leave hot marks on herself.

"Ah Feng?" Ji Yun spit out two words with difficulty, and after finding out that someone was doing something about the person he wanted to protect, he pushed her away like crazy.

"Fuck off! I don't need you to take care of my business, let's go! The three who had the most strength did not hold him.

"Yo, a beautiful woman who ran out of nowhere!" Du Xun, who was not interested, saw Ah Feng who suddenly appeared, and his eyes lit up.

"That's right, I didn't expect a little ghost like you to follow a little lady." Du Xun's eyes were a little mocking.

"Get out! I told you to, did you hear me! The young man's eyes slowly turned red, not because of the pain from the whip, but because of the girl's worries, crying out heartbreakingly, hoping that Ah Feng could leave quickly.

The girl who was pushed away looked up in panic and saw that two people had already pounced on her.

Only then did she get up and stumble, and wanted to jump ship away, but she was only halfway through when she was caught by several strong domestic servants, and there was no chance for her to escape.

"Ah Feng!" Ji Yun roared angrily.

"Quick, quick!" Zhao Sanxi urged the boatman to row faster, and even took the spare wood pulp in the boat and paddled himself, and there was still a distance to get close to the boat.

Ye Yanqing stood at the head of the bed, looking ahead, he remembered this person, the son of the sixth of the top ten flower owners, Du Xun.

Soon, the girl was dying in their hands, and looked at Ji Yun with a strong spirit: "Brother Yun, the wind has affected you." ”

Just now, Ah Feng took the opportunity to pour wine for Du Xun and stole his money bag, but what they didn't expect was that they found out so quickly, and she didn't have time to sell the stolen goods.

Ji Yun found the panicked Ah Feng, and when he was pressed, Ah Feng told him about it.

Listening to the movement outside getting louder and louder, and getting closer and closer to them, Ji Yun pulled the money bag and put it on his body, which was the scene just now.

"Yo! I can't see you care so much about her. Du Xun got up, picked up a dagger, slapped it in his hand, and approached Ji Yun again.

"Look at your distress, my subordinates are just small enough to warn her, are you so anxious?" Du Xun smiled evilly, and the dagger in the cold light slapped on Ji Yun's face.

Ji Yun stared at Du Xun fiercely with red eyes, a cloud of anger suppressed in his chest, panting.

Du Xun sneered, and casually handed the dagger to one of his subordinates beside him, "Come on!" It is indeed a sin to make a beautiful woman cry, kill her. ”

"You!" Ji Yun's eyes turned red in an instant, "Du Xun!"

"Smack!" A guard with a lot of eyesight hit Ji Yun in the abdomen with one punch.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Ji Yun snorted and coughed repeatedly. The people around him were punching and kicking, and he struggled hard, but he still watched the sharp dagger penetrate Ah Feng's heart and dye Ah Feng's favorite purple clothes red.

"Ah Feng!" Ji Yun felt as if her heart had been stabbed at that moment, and tears flowed down her cheeks, and her mind was the last smile that the dagger had sunk into her chest.

At this time, Ye Yanqing and Zhao Sanxi rowed here, and Zhao Sanxi hurriedly took the pedal and climbed up.
