Chapter 572: Preparation
In the palace of King Wu.
Before the Chinese New Year, the entire land of Hanzhou has begun to be lit up, I heard that this time Yuan is about to return to Hanzhou, and the girls in the various green buildings can be described as lovesick.
Since Yuan Zheng left Hanzhou, the business of Qinglou in Hanzhou has declined a lot, which shows how strong Yuan Zheng has contributed to the local financial development.
Many of Yuanzheng's former friends have also begun to miss the benefits of Yuanzheng.
Young, handsome, and youthful vigor also make many girls addicted to it.
After Yuan Zheng left, most of the guests these girls met were rough men with poor looks and big bellies, not to mention the work in the house, it was this image that made most of the girls disgusted, but there was no way, if they wanted to earn other people's money, they could only swallow their anger.
Everything needs to be compared, and they are also prostitutes, a young and handsome beautiful boy is a prostitute client, and the girls are also happy in their hearts, plus this young and handsome beautiful young man, he is also more generous.
However, the kind of middle-aged and elderly prostitutes who are stingy and ugly are really not appreciated by the girls.
In addition, this kind of people are often extremely shrewd, occasionally drinking too much wine, rewarding a little silver, and counting on the girls to be grateful to Dade, but as everyone knows, that little reward is really less than a fraction of Yuan Zheng's original reward.
But when Yuan Zheng was here, many girls in the Qinglou made Yuan Zheng a stupid and rich young man, although he had a good skin, but he had to linger in the land of the Qinglou, which was really unreasonable.
There is no way, who made Yuan Zheng a very caring person.
In the legend, Yuan Zheng spoiled a lot of good girls, but in fact, there was only one good girl spoiled by Yuan Zheng, that was Liu Qingshi, that night, Yuan Zheng also saw that Liu Qingshi's dress and temperament were not like local girls in Hanzhou, so she did that kind of thing.
Behind the scenes, many girls who are not very happy with their parents at home may be sold into the brothel of the Qinglou by their biological parents, although the appearance of those girls is not particularly outstanding, but they can also be used, Yuan Zheng will take a step ahead and give the parents of those girls a sum of money to sell their bodies.
After the girls were bought by Yuan Zheng, they would not be taken into the Wuwang Mansion by Yuan Zheng, and there were two reasons for this.
First, it is the Wuwang Mansion, which is a place with a strong atmosphere, and it is absolutely not allowed to enter it, although Yuan Zheng at that time was a non-trivial person.
Second, when Yuan Zheng bought those girls, his mind was more righteous, and he definitely didn't have any thoughts, and usually gave the girls a little more silver, so that they could leave the land of Hanzhou and go to other places to open a restaurant, or find a good livelihood, as for going to other places, what is the fate of those girls, it is no longer something that Yuan Zheng can worry about.
In addition, the previous Yuan Zheng was very generous, and the silver given to those girls was enough for an ordinary young man to return to his hometown to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law.
But these things have never been known to outsiders, and Yuan Zheng will not say these things, firstly, no one will believe it when he says it, and secondly, there may be more ruthless parents who want to sell the girl to Yuan Zheng, thus affecting some of the market conditions of the local Qinglou, and Yuan Zheng will not do such a flattering thing.
The most important point is that because Yuan Zheng is low-key, he will not say it.
After spending their journey, as for the fate of the rest of their lives, whether it is prosperous or declining, it is their own business.
In addition to the major green buildings, the recent days in the casino can be regarded as quite lively, and the old oilers in the casino are waiting for Yuan Zheng's return at this time, will they relive the youth of the year.
When he was in the casino, Yuan Zheng was also very generous, but gambling is such a thing, if you lose, you will win, and no one dares to let King Wu lose too much silver.
Overall, Yuan Zheng still lost money in the casino, and there was no way to calculate this account.
There are still a lot of ups and downs, sometimes, there are tens of thousands of taels of gold in one night, there are so many losses, and so many wins, but secretly Yuan Zheng also rescued some people who couldn't help themselves from the casino.
Some ruthless parents can't afford to lose, so they mortgaged their daughters to the casino, or in other words, they sold their sons who had not yet entered the year of dancing elephants to the casino.
But this kind of thing, except for a few people who know, in the hearts of most people, Yuan Zheng is already a bastard who doesn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
The older generation of gamblers, although they didn't say much, gave Yuan Zheng a thumbs up in their hearts, how happy the noisy atmosphere of the casino was, in fact, how sad it was behind the scenes.
It is true that there are penniless people who make a fortune after entering the casino.
But there are really few such things, and in most cases, the casino deliberately cultivates such a gambler in order to attract customers, if there is really such a person, unless that person has a very good background, it is difficult to get out of the casino.
Where there is sunshine, there is shadow, although the land of Hanzhou is the place where Wuwang Yuan Tieshan personally guards, but the eyes of Wuwang Yuan Tieshan cannot penetrate the depths of the dark alley.
But in fact, Yuan Tieshan also knew about these things that Yuan Zheng was doing behind his back, if he didn't know these things, Yuan Tieshan would definitely not be willing to let Yuan Zheng take out a lot of real money from King Wu's mansion and go out to wander.
It feels very unrestrained and chic, and it seems to be wandering in the wind, but in fact, while he is cool and crooked, he has also done a lot of good things.
This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Tieshan loved Yuan Zheng so much in the first place.
In Yuan Tieshan's imagination, Yuan Zheng should live vigorously in this life, become friends with many people, and at the same time be a rich idler, worthy of his parents and sentient beings.
But there are always things that are not satisfactory, when Yuan Tieshan knew that Yuan Zheng secretly cultivated Canghai Liuhe, he already knew in his heart that Yuan Zheng would one day jump out of the perfect world in his imagination.
But this world will always be vulgar, and there are not many people who know that Yuan Zheng has done good deeds, but they just remember how Yuan Zheng wandered and how he didn't understand the suffering of the world.
In fact, Yuan Zheng understands everything, he is a concubine, and he understands it better than anyone else.
Since ancient times, bad things have the value of spreading, and it is very rare for people to be able to talk about good things after dinner.
In the Wuwang Mansion, Jiang Ling and Liu Jinrong are presiding over the big and small matters of the New Year this year, and in the past, Princess Qiuhua is busy and happy, but this year, Princess Qiuhua is gone, and the atmosphere in the Wuwang Mansion is more or less cold.
Above the lobby, the spies came to report: "Back to the prince, the third prince has half a day's work and is about to arrive outside Hanzhou, I will wait to meet him in person." ”
Yuan Tieshan knew who had come, his daughter-in-law had come, his in-laws had also come, and after careful calculation, more than 10,000 troops had come.
More than 10,000 people, warm hospitality, but also cost a lot of silver, Yuan Tieshan of course will not feel sorry for these looks, but I didn't expect that after going out, the first time I went home for the New Year, Zheng'er made such a big move, and I was full of emotion for a while.
He said in a deep voice: "Long Hui personally went to greet him, vacated the camp in the east of Hanzhou, and provided the soldiers under the command of the third prince to rest temporarily, and at the same time sent some more subordinates to serve them." ”
"Good wine and good meat, all served on the table. ”
The sentinel withdrew from the lobby, and only Yuan Tieshan, Ji Jiangong, Qi Guanzhou, and Chen Yu were left.
As soon as he heard that his son was coming back this time, Chen Yu also had an indescribable joy in his heart, counting it, he hadn't had a meal with his son during the New Year for a long time, I don't know if it was two years or three years.
Time always flies quickly, and when you grow up, it's time for the New Year at every turn.
Yuan Tieshan saw the snickering joy in Chen Yu's heart, and Rou'er smiled: "This year's New Year, you and Gui'er are probably not drunk, I remember that Gui'er is not a person who likes to drink." ”
Chen Yu smiled and said: "Actually, I don't like to drink either, but no matter how much I don't like it, this year's New Year, everyone can't help themselves, at least two or three catties still have to drink." ”
Yuan Tieshan asked curiously: "What kind of person is Li Chen, Gonggong, you have seen Li Chen, can you tell me about it." ”
Li Chen's serious injury to Yuan Lin is also a thorn hanging in Yuan Tieshan's heart, if Yuan Zheng beats Yuan Lin to a serious injury, in fact, Yuan Tieshan will not have any second words, but Li Chen is such an outsider, and this time, Li Chen also came, General Tianwu escorted, the lord on the top of the clouds, it was really a big man.
Ji Jiangong said a little strangely: "Big brother wants to test Li Chen's skills?"
Yuan Tieshan continued to ask, "I just want to know what kind of impression you have of Li Chen. ”
Ji Jiangong pondered: "His person is a talent, heroic, and has been completely recognized by the phoenix wings and gold hammer, with the blood of the Peng clan in his body, with golden wings, and a phoenix wing and gold hammer, with a supernatural use, the military generals in the same realm, maybe only Qing'er can fight Li Chen head-on." ”
Yuan Tieshan continued to ask, "What would happen if Lin'er and Li Chen fought head-on?"
Ji Jiangong thought about it carefully and said: "If there is a frontal fight, Lin'er will die, and Li Chen will be greatly injured." ”
"I've secretly inquired about it, Li Chen's mastery is the seal of life and death of the Great Qin Heavenly Demon Sect, and if you talk about the exercises alone, it is not weaker than Lin'er's Vientiane Heavenly Skill and Zheng'er's Canghai Liuhe. ”
"But because Li Chen is using heavy weapons, Lin'er uses a sword to catch and kill, Lin'er has the upper hand, but if it is a fierce battle between two people with bare hands, Li Chen has a slight upper hand, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke. ”
After hearing this, Yuan Tieshan said with a little displeasure: "I thought that Lin'er could beat Li Chen at the peak, but I never thought that even Qing'er would not be sure to win in the face of Li Chen." ”
"The phoenix wings are really a good thing. ”
"This time Li Chen is here, if I get the field back for Lin'er, it will be very ungraceful, if I don't look for it, I really can't swallow this breath in my heart. ”
"Guys, what do you think is the best way to deal with this? ”
When asking this question, Yuan Tieshan glanced at Qi Guanzhou extraordinarily, Qi Guanzhou has the most ghost ideas on weekdays, but because of this, after the current six generals, Qi Guanzhou's martial arts cultivation is also the weakest one.
Qi Guanzhou knew that if he couldn't come up with a good idea, it was estimated that he would be very unreliable during the Chinese New Year this year.
A little embarrassed and said: "In my opinion, when everyone eats together, you can launch a wheel war against Li Chen, as the Tianwu General at the top of the clouds, if the amount of alcohol is not enough, then it is a little too much." ”
"Although you can use Zhenyuan to force out the strength of the wine, but after a long time, it will be beyond your strength, as long as everyone keeps giving Li Chen wine, even if it is the general of Tianwu, it will be uncomfortable, and drunk people, on the way home, accidentally fell and fell with a blue nose and swollen face, that is not a strange thing. ”
Yuan Tieshan praised the festival: "This is really a bad idea, just follow your wishes." ”
You can't talk about Li Chen in serious matters, so you can only give Li Chen a little color on the wine table.
It's just that it turns out that Qi Guanzhou's bad idea is really a bad idea, and it is estimated that Yuan Tieshan himself would not have thought that Li Chen's alcohol consumption would be terrifying.
After discussing this matter, the next thing is how to face his daughter-in-law.
Yuan Tieshan asked: "The background of Shanghe's number one character, have you explored it clearly, Liu Cangyue is easy to say anything, but this Shanghe, after all, is just a rich businessman, his daughter married my son, I am a little unhappy in my heart, although Xiao Jingqiu is really cute, but with such a rich businessman father, I am really sorry for Xiao Jingqiu's cuteness and her pure heart." ”
Shanghe is not Liu Cangyue, the confidence of a wealthy businessman, and he will never have the loyal king's feet.
Although Liu Cangyue is no longer the Zhongxian King of Great Wei, but on the top of the clouds, Liu Cangyue's treatment is even far greater than that of the original Zhongxian King, in fact, people like Liu Cangyue, no matter where they go, their status will not be lower than that of Zhongxian King himself.
But Shanghe is different, in the business field, maybe Shanghe has a lot of face, but now he is facing the most noble people in the world, and he has become a relative with such a person, Shanghe has no idea in his heart, which is naturally a bit hypocritical.
Even Shang He himself knew that after coming to the Wuwang Mansion, he would be a little unable to get on the stage.
Chen Yu said: "Shang He used to be a rich businessman, but when he was in the territory of Great Xia, he also had a lot of staff skills, in charge of the size of grain and grass at the top of the clouds, and the medicinal materials accumulated before were also used on his own soldiers at the top of the clouds. ”
"Although this person said that he had a lot of thoughts, it was the original habit of the merchants, and such habits were difficult to change for a while after entering the temple. ”
"I hope the prince can be more considerate, but according to my speculation, when the time comes, the prince of Liu Cangyue will definitely take care of Shanghe, and he will not give the prince a chance to make a fuss. ”
Yuan Tieshan glanced at Chen Yu and said, "Do you think I'm such a narrow-minded person who looks down on people with dog eyes?"
Shang He and Xiao Jingqiu's father and daughter are here, and they will inevitably be warmly entertained by the Wuwang Mansion.
But there is one person who will make Yuan Tieshan very embarrassed, and that is Dongfang Mingyue.
Yuan Tieshan said: "I have talked to Shan Rong and Xiao Jingqiu before, Liu Qingshi's girl is easy to say anything, and my favorite is also Liu Qingshi's girl, probably because of preconceived ideas." ”
"But after Dongfang Mingyue comes, what should we do, although people are not Her Royal Highness the princess of Da Zhou now, but in fact, they have always been Her Royal Highness the princess of Da Zhou, I heard that Dongfang Mingyue is carrying the luck of being known as prosperous. ”
"If there is no accident in the future, Dongfang Mingyue will also become Zheng'er's main wife. ”
"People are here, should I treat each other as a princess, or treat each other as my own daughter-in-law's standards, even if I give people some gifts, Dongfang Mingyue is no one, and I don't think I can necessarily look at the meeting gift I gave her. ”
"I'm really concerned about the chaos, so let's give me some advice. ”
This time, Yuan Tieshan's gaze stayed on Qi Guanzhou's body again, although Qi Guanzhou's martial arts cultivation over the years was not very good, but in such a matter as human feelings, no one dared to say the first word in the Wuwang Mansion.
Qi Guanzhou took a sip of tea and said: "Just treat it as your daughter-in-law, although Her Royal Highness the princess of Da Zhou has a slightly eccentric temperament and is cold, since she can walk with Zheng'er, it is also due to fate, and it is also the predecessor of Dugu who escorted all the way to Yuan Zheng's side." ”
"What should you do then, then what, don't think too much, Dongfang Mingyue is clear-minded, and she won't care about so much red tape. ”
"If the prince treats Dongfang Mingyue differently, it will cause instability in the internal affairs of Tongfu, and second, it will also make Dongfang Mingyue look down on the prince. ”
As soon as he heard this, Yuan Tieshan patted his head and smiled helplessly: "That's right." ”
"Then let's do it. ”
Suddenly, Yuan Tieshan remembered another thing, looked at Ji Jiangong and asked curiously: "After Li Chen came, we estimate that there are a lot of generals here, and they want to discuss with Li Chen, although there is some gunpowder smell in it, but in my opinion, this paper can't contain the fire, arrange some excellent masters, and secretly tell those people that if anyone holds up more rounds under Li Chen's hands, whoever will get more rewards." ”
These words seem to be comforting those generals, but in fact, they are also inspiring those generals, but in fact, there is really no one in the same realm who can defeat Li Chen in the land of Hanzhou at the moment.
Ji Jiangong smiled wickedly: "Big brother, it's not good to do things like this, it's really a bit humiliating to let the chemical realm generals under our command go to compete with Li Chen." ”
Yuan Tieshan said in a deep voice: "I just want them to know where the gap between them and Li Chen is, and it can be regarded as motivating them, in this world, not everyone has the opportunity to compete with the master of the phoenix winged golden hammer, which can also be regarded as a blessing." ”
King Wu had already said so, and Ji Jiangong naturally had no way to say anything.
Chen Yu thought for a while and said: "The truth is such a truth, but Li Chen finally killed one of Lin'er's henchmen before, which also hurt Lin'er's vitality, so I'm afraid that someone has ulterior motives when they compete with each other." ”
Yuan Tieshan said: "What do you think?"
Chen Yu also looked at Qi Guanzhou and said: "It's better for Guanzhou to have a martial arts fight with Li Chen at that time, just go through a process, and the rest of the people can just pick out three or five people with excellent strength, the number of people should not be too much, if the wheel battle is lost, the appearance will be a little ugly." ”
"Before, Lin'er's henchmen also killed many of Li Chen's personal guards, Li Chen killed Lin'er's henchmen, there is no way to settle accounts for this matter, it can only be turned into a big thing and a small matter, although it is not an eventful time, it may be a little less troublesome. ”
"It's just that when the time comes, it's going to be hard for Brother Guanzhou. ”
When Qi Guanzhou heard this, his face changed, and he didn't have the leisure to continue drinking tea, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Lord Wang, this can't be helped, my brother and I have been fighting for a long time, and we have a handful of old bones, but I can't withstand the big opening and closing of young people." ”
"Besides, it's a phoenix-winged gold hammer, and my weapon probably can't parry. ”
Yuan Tieshan smiled evilly: "It is precisely because of this that I give you a chance to return to being a teenager and have a good discussion with Li Chen." ”
Qi Guanzhou's martial arts cultivation is in a state of mind when he dies, and he has recently broken through.
Everyone knows that Li Chen's face of ordinary mood masters is as simple as killing a chicken.
Just thinking about it, Qi Guanzhou's heart was full of panic.
Qi Guanzhou smiled more ugly than crying and said: "Big brother, I'm afraid this can't be done, for the New Year, if I am greatly injured, there will be no way to accompany my eldest brother to drink together." ”
"Young people, it's not too easy or heavy, it often happens. ”
Yuan Tieshan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, even if you can't accompany me to drink wine and eat meat, there are still Chen Yu, there are meritorious contributions, and Qingshan them." ”
Qi Guanzhou: "......"
Ji Jiangong patted Qi Guanzhou's shoulder and comforted: "Brother, don't worry, you have to think so, if you win Li Chen, you will be famous all over the world, even if you lose, it is not unusual, we don't think you can survive ten rounds under Li Chen's hands." ”
Qi Guanzhou said bitterly: "This doesn't look like you're comforting me." ”
