At this time, Zhao Yiyan was drinking hot milk tea, and secretly sighed, it is a pity that a person like Zhongli does not open the exchange, after all, the things she made are rare and unique in the world.

"Second son." Rumo saw Zhong Li come in and bowed down.

Zhongli waved his hand, "You go down first." Zhongli walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up his cup of milk tea, and took a sip of satisfaction.

Zhao Yiyan glanced at her, her heart was like a blunt knife cutting meat, she was in pain, but she couldn't do anything about her heart, she could only look at it greedily, look at it again, and suppress her feelings so as not to be discovered by Zhongli.

"Why did you sell all your possessions cheaply? Even if you lack money, I can lend you a little. Zhao Yiyan coughed dryly, turned his eyes away from looking at her, and took a deep breath before he asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"That's what you're here for?" Zhongli raised her eyebrows, for her, this was not a big deal, but she didn't know that for many people in Canggu City, it was a big deal.

"What do you call it for this, don't you know the fame of the eight directions now?" Zhao Yiyan squinted his eyes, looking at Zhongli's indifferent appearance through the gap in his eyes, he found that he had never been able to guess this person's thoughts.

"Of course I do." Zhongli took a sip of milk tea, "I used to do business just to survive and support my younger brothers. But now that I have the ability to raise them, so I don't do business, what's the problem? ”

"Is that really it?" Zhao Yiyan obviously didn't believe it.

Zhongli held the cup and nodded with a smile, but his dark and bright eyes flashed with a touch of wisdom, "As for me, I will buy a few Zhuangzi with peace of mind in the future, and be an honest landlord." ”

Zhao Yiyan stared at Zhongli, trying to see a flaw in her face, but he couldn't see anything unexpectedly.

He thought of the book "The Art of War" that he had seen in the package before, which was definitely not something that a person who was content to be a landlord could write. But he would never mention this matter in front of Zhong Li, after all, he secretly read other people's books, and it was not a gentleman's doing, and when the time came, his original image of not being very tall in Zhong Li was now a little lower.

"I just think that what you make is delicious, it's a pity not to open a store." Zhao Yiyan took another sip of milk tea, this kind of cold weather, the taste of just drinking it was weird, but after drinking it a few more times, it was unprecedentedly good.

"If you want to eat, I'll send you a copy of whatever I make in the future." Zhongli said lightly, in terms of eating, she never hides her selfishness. Anyway, now she is a big landowner, and the last thing she lacks is food and clothing.

"That's not what I meant." Zhao Yiyan's face was a little red, how could he feel that he was a little childish.

"It's okay, I'll pack some of this milk tea later." Zhongli's implication is actually that if something is given to you, you don't want to come, but Zhao Yiyan himself is a person with low emotional intelligence, so he can't understand Zhongli's meaning at all. He drank the milk tea in the cup in one go, then stood up and said, "I apologize to you about what happened just now, it's me Meng Lang." It's just that I'll try not to think about it too much in the future, and I hope you don't turn me away again. ”

Zhongli's face twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay! ”

On the way to Zhao Yiyan's thatched house, he happened to meet Zhong Liyu, Zhong Liyu glanced at him and said, "General Zhao, I have a few words to tell you, I hope you can give a face." ”

Zhao Yiyan was told by Zhong Liyu last time, and now he glanced at Zhong Liyu in front of him again, and couldn't help touching his nose with some weakness, the image of the original domineering and cool general completely collapsed.

Walking to an idle room, Zhong Liyu asked Zhao Yiyan to sit down, and then said, "General Zhao, you have come here repeatedly, what is the so-called matter?" Could it be that all your promises that I told you before were false? Don't they all say that a gentleman is better than a daughter? ”

On the one hand, she was afraid that Zhongli's identity would be discovered, and on the other hand, he was worried that Zhao Yiyan would be angry with them after discovering Zhongli's gender.

"Eldest prince, I want to ask you to persuade your brother, Hui Bafang is your hard work, are you really willing to sell Hui Bafang?" Zhao Yiyan wanted to ask Zhong Liyu to persuade Zhong Li, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate soon.

"General Zhao, this matter is our Zhong family's business, and the official tooth has already come, and the deposit has been paid, so General Zhao doesn't have to worry about it." Zhong Liyu said coldly.

Zhong Liyu's words made Zhao Yiyan's face change slightly, are the people of their Zhong family such ungrateful? Zhongli treated him coldly, and now even his eldest brother dares to treat him coldly.

"General Zhao has this time, so let's care about whether there are any officials like Governor Li nearby, lest the people suffer from prison during the New Year." Zhong Liyu knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Yiyan, but she still couldn't help but want to say, after all, Zhao Yiyan was the king of Qingyang, and Governor Li did such a thing in the area under his jurisdiction, so it was normal for her to be dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, the eldest prince, this king will give you an explanation for this matter." Zhao Yiyan's face turned cold, he suddenly got up from his seat, snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and swept towards Zhong Liyu with a cold look.

Before, he looked at Zhongli's face and maintained it in every possible way, but it didn't mean that anyone could squat on his head and.

Zhao Yiyan's momentum was full of momentum, so frightened that Zhong Liyu's eyes shrunk, the two trembled, his cheeks were pale, and his forehead was cold sweat. Only then did he know that the prestige of the God of War was not groundless, and King Qingyang was not easy to mess with.

Only then did Zhong Liyu realize that he had said too much, but if he said the water that was spilled, he could only grit his teeth and stiffen up, for Zhong Li's sake and for the sake of the whole family. "General Zhao still don't run to the Zhong family every day, lest someone know that not only Zhongli but also all the Zhong family members will become the target of public criticism. If you really like it, let it go! ”

This is the way this world is, only those who have rights have the right to speak. And their Zhong family is just a merchant and farmer, and in front of the noble King of Qingyang, they are no different from ants.

Zhao Yiyan stared at the person in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, he couldn't help but say: "What's more, as the eldest son of the Zhong family, you can be good with Wang Qinglin as the manager, why can't Zhongli be good with me?" As soon as these words came out, both of them were startled, especially Zhong Liyu, whose face turned red.

He and Wang Qinglin are different from Wang Ye.

Wang Qinglin likes himself, and Wang Ye is a fetish for broken sleeves, can this be compared? It's nonsense! Zhong Liyu's face turned blue and white for a while.

And Zhao Yiyan immediately calmed down after a short shock, anyway, the words had already been spoken, and this was what he had always wanted to say, but he didn't expect to be stimulated by Zhong Liyu, so he said it. Zhong Li refused to accept himself, but Zhong Liyu did everything possible to obstruct it, even if it was a clay sculpture of a bodhisattva, there were still three points of fire!

Zhong Liyu took a long time before he said, "Wang Qinglin and I are both ordinary people, and you are a noble prince and the god of war of the apocalypse. How do we compare to you? An unknown steward and a prestigious prince, the prince will not know which is more important, right? Zhong Liyu said again. If the prince really has anything to do with my second brother, it will definitely be my second brother who will be attacked at that time, because he is a powerless farmer, and you are a high god of war, even if you are wrong, they will not say that you are wrong. Speaking of this, Zhong Liyu took a deep breath, "General Zhao, we can't afford to mess with you, so we can only hide." ”

After speaking, Zhong Liyu walked to the door and opened the door, "General Zhao, please go back, the second brother promised the general, and I will not repay the debt." ”

Zhao Yiyan sat in place and didn't move, I have to say that his originally heartfelt heart has become more and more firm.

Seeing that he didn't move, Zhong Liyu didn't force it, and returned to the room and instructed Rubai: "Go and send General Zhao away." ”

Rubai was stunned for a moment, and was busy doing it, even if the other party's status was noble, he couldn't afford to provoke him, but he was now Zhong Liyu's person, and he had to listen to Zhong Liyu's orders.

When he came to the door of the room, Rubai said worriedly: "General Zhao, please." ”

Zhao Yiyan stood up with a cold face and left the Zhong Mansion with heavy steps. Walking to the door, he reluctantly glanced in the direction of Zhongli's room, and finally turned resolutely and got into the carriage.

As soon as he sat down, Rumo came over with a bag of things and shouted, "General, this is what the second prince asked me to prepare for you." ”

Zhao Yiyan did not refuse, and motioned for the groom to take the things. On the way back, Zhao Yiyan was in a daze.

When he returned to the house, it was already evening, he didn't even eat dinner, and sat in the study all night, this night he thought a lot, from the first meeting between him and Zhongli to the present, and then the future.

Zhong Liyu's words are not alarmist, but reality. Moreover, he has the ability to protect Zhongli, but now the emperor is still eyeing him, if he ......

Zhao Yiyan leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes, he didn't like this feeling of being controlled by others, but he was helpless.

After sitting for most of the night, Zhao Yiyan also considered all the pros and cons of this matter, and finally he dispelled the idea of forcibly keeping Zhongli by his side, just a friend, a friend is a friend, in the end, they can still meet, and while he has not done something irreparable, he will stop.

Zhao Yiyan sighed, and when it was almost dawn, he got up and went to the backyard. It's not that he doesn't have women, there are women from all over the backyard who give him from all over the world, and these women are all charming, and most of them are stunning.

He casually pushed open a door, and the maid who was sitting on a stool napping inside saw Zhao Yiyan come in, and she was stupid at that time, and her eyes looked straight at him into the woman's bedroom, and she even forgot to ask for peace.
