Chapter 139: The Height of Life
Zhang stood up softly and paced slowly, "Besides, although our Zhang family has a good intelligence network now, judging from the current situation, we lack a lot of sources of market intelligence, and we must make up for it as soon as possible." ”
"It's up to you to decide the affairs of the family." Zhang Hao closed his eyes, "I was going to recommend you to the court, but since you insist on not wanting to, then I have to talk about it later." However, gently, the foundation of my Zhang family is always above the court, not in the rivers and lakes! ”
"You must remember this! I know you're ambitious, but ...... We must do what we can, take risks and seek luck, but we can't do it again, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years! ”
"Grandson understood." Zhang Qingrou pondered for a long time this time before lowering her head and replying.
All the families were busy tracking the gossip and trying to take down the attribute soul of the wood, but the Xiao family was heavy and cold.
The Xiao family is really unfavorable, they have been stolen twice in a year, and the money and treasures in the family can be said to have been scattered, and the coffin has been lost.
When Xiao Yunsheng arrived at the base camp of Xiao Mansion in Qingzhou overnight, Xiao Mansion probably tossed it a little, and greeted them with a crying face.
A series of blows made Xiao Yunsheng's white hair grow a lot, looking at the depressed and lonely Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yunsheng could barely stand, and looked at the housekeeper with black eyes, "How much has you lost?" ”
The housekeeper's face was gloomy, and he still trembled and said, "It's all gone, and the savings are all gone......
"Poof-" Xiao Yunsheng vomited out a mouthful of blood, his face was blue and white, and the blood between his chest and abdomen surged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who did it?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Yunsheng, who was as weak as a mother, and said in embarrassment, "According to the Yamen Catcher, it seems to be five ...... Five...... Horses and camels of Wuhua Mountain......"
"Poof-" Xiao Yunsheng saw a burst of Venus in front of him, his blood flowed backwards, and the whole person completely fainted.
A cold wind rose, the sky was full of snow, and under the illumination of the sun, it was as warm as crystal, shining, as if the sky and the earth suddenly brightened up and dreamed.
Two people with ordinary faces and ordinary clothes walked calmly on the big streets of Liuzhou, with a leisurely and elegant bearing, leisurely and chic, one of them had a sallow face, but his figure was exceptionally straight, the sharpness in his eyes was slightly incommensurate with his sallow face, and the other was a young man with a slightly darker complexion.
"In the past 18 years, Liuzhou has changed a lot." The middle-aged man walked slowly, his eyes slowly turned from both sides of the road, and his voice was desolate, it was actually very much like an old man who had just experienced the vicissitudes of life, and suddenly turned back to the normal world, "That place, more than 20 years ago, used to be the ancestral hall of the Piaoxue family, and many of our brothers have been playing there since childhood, hehe." ”
He smiled, but his voice sounded like he was crying.
"Father, do you feel like a world away?" The boy next to him smiled.
"At the end of the day, it's good to get used to it. But all human beings always have to die. Whether you are a person or a commander of the army, you must be able to see life and death. If you can't see the difference between life and death, no matter what you do, you may not achieve much. ”
"Looking at life and death, how easy is it to talk ......about it," the middle-aged man sighed, "It's been twenty years since I dreamed, and my eyes were full of desolation, and my former brothers had turned into loess and pou, and now I looked around and was alone." ”
"Father, look at our feet." The young man laughed gently, but with a mockery in the mildness, a ridicule of life, and a sarcastic smile of the world!
At this moment, the young man's eyes carried a kind of indifference that saw through the past and the present and ignored everything. He pointed to the ground under his feet, "Father, do you know how many people have been buried under this land for tens of thousands of years from ancient times to the present?" ”
"In a sense, we actually step on other people's corpses all the time!"
"One moment, we may step on a beggar, and the next moment, we may step on the remains of an emperor! Whether it is mountains and rivers or thick soil, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is all made up of the accumulation of corpses and bones. ”
"Life and death are just years of glory like grass and trees? After all, what is it? One day, you, or I, will lie down here for someone to trample on! ”
"But most importantly, now! Now we step on others all the time. Whether he used to be the overlord of the hegemonic side, the emperor who used to be the emperor of the future, or the stunning beauty of the country and the city, isn't there no reaction now? So before we are trampled on by others, we must stand at a height that no one can step on us! In the future, only we will step on others! ”
"It doesn't matter if it's alive or it's dead!"
"Haha." He laughed uncontrollably, "In that case, what do you have to remember?" Where is the time to remember the dead? It doesn't matter if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire in front of it, step on it! It doesn't matter if it's a prince or a general in front of it, kill them all! It doesn't matter if it's a mountain or a sea in front of it, go for it! ”
"To live is to have no regrets! Even if you do something wrong, you must not regret it! Right and wrong, right and wrong, right and wrong, who can tell clearly? To be alive is to have fun! Live in style and live as you like! Look at who is not pleasing to the eye, step on it! Whoever provokes us, hurts us, kills! Destroy the enemy who stands in our way! ”
"In life, whether you are a man or a woman, you only need to be proud of the sky, overlook the earth, crisscross the world, and look at the wind and clouds! In this way, it is not in vain to come to this world! The boy's eyes stared indifferently at everything around him, "The rest, at best, is just a game!" That's all! ”
It's strange that these two people are actually young people who are comforting and preaching the old.
This strange combination of "father and son" is naturally Qing Xiaoyun, Qing Yuxuan's father and daughter.
Speaking of which, Qing Xiaoyun has not been out of the gate of the Qing Mansion for eighteen years, and Qing Yuxuan proposed to travel in order to let him relax, and by the way, he copied the full set of Thousand Shadows Illusion to Qing Xiaoyun. Qing Xiaoyun was in the middle of it, and readily agreed, and then the father and daughter slipped out like this, shopping all over the capital.
Qing Yuxuan's disguise technique, inherited from a peerless disguise master in the previous life, can be said to be a collection of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign technology masters, I believe that throughout the entire Hongmeng Continent, it is unique to be able to recognize their true face, not to mention, there is also a thousand shadows illusion, which can change the shape, appearance, voice, momentum, temperament, and true qi of the heaven-defying technique, so the two of them are very bold to wander around.
"Yuxuan, I really didn't expect you to be so ......" Qing Xiaoyun shook his head and laughed after listening to Qing Yuxuan's words, "If you don't look at you, but just listen to your words, I'm afraid even I will think that you are an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, seen through life and death, and is even a little extreme." ”
Qing Yuxuan smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, I'm afraid that I can experience much more than those old men in your mouth. We are truly two generations of people......
"Here, ten years ago, it was the Great Prince's Hall of Talents, but I didn't expect it to become Huanghuayuan today? I really doubt that in this capital, is there still a force that dares to compete with the eldest prince for territory? Qing Xiaoyun frowned and looked at a recessed place on the right side of the road, but it was an attic that looked a little inconspicuous, and the back was undulating, and it turned out to be a large mansion. There was a faint cry of utter sorrow, faint and desperate.
"This yellow flower courtyard...... And what does that mean? It can't really be the meaning of the yellow flower of the past, right? ”
Seeing that the passers-by were all hiding far away from the door when they passed by this yellow flower courtyard, as if there were poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in it, everyone was a little afraid and frightened, and even disgusted. When they passed the door, they all quickened their pace and hurried by.
Qing Yuxuan quickly searched in his mind and said, "It seems that Huanghuayuan seems to be a place similar to the old courtyard." However, in comparison, the age here is relatively young, and there are some good-looking children! Saying this, a strong anger suddenly surged in Qing Yuxuan's heart.
"This is simply a transit station for buying and selling young boys and girls, if there are good qualifications, they will be secretly sent away, and those with poor qualifications but good teeth and sharp mouths will be trained, and then sold at a high price to large families for huge profits! As for the worse, they stay here, and then after a few years, when they are older, they will be sold into natural auction houses or places like the Pure Heart, and they will be used as playthings for men and women. It can be said that it is a sin that hides filth and dirt. ”
Qing Xiaoyun's eyes widened, and he looked at it sharply, "I didn't expect that in the place where the imperial capital of the Ziyi Empire is located, there is such a place for such a subordinate work, is it possible that the government will not pay attention to it?!" ”
Qing Yuxuan sighed. In this place, the nominally eldest prince has already let go, but in reality, who can say clearly what is going on? Who has the guts to jump out and be stabbed? This was once the territory of the Great Prince! Even if it is not the eldest prince who secretly calls the shots, how can he be idle if he can take over the land from the eldest prince?
The yamen, where the imperial capital is located, is the place where all kinds of complaints are not dealt with, casually involving a person, who is it, it may be a prince and minister behind it, Feng Zilong scrapes, and it is too late to hide, who has the courage to try? !
Besides, under the guise of buying and selling real money, these people have taken in some homeless children, which is equivalent to their own domestic slaves, who will say anything to others?
"What a miasma! It's a failure! Qing Xiaoyun snorted coldly. After a few deep looks, he walked out of the door unwillingly. Today is always disguised, it is really inconvenient to expose anything, besides, the news of Qing Xiaoyun's recovery of his body still has to be kept strictly confidential, even if he is unwilling, he has to leave.
