[04] The way of employing people
Although Zhengshu Han didn't know what Xi Jiangyue wanted this fierce bird for, he still took out an emerald jade whistle and put it to his lips.
Green jade red lips, low and long whistle, good and elegant.
Suddenly, a white, full-fledged eagle swooped into the window and landed on the left arm of Zhengshu Han's brocade.
Although Zhengshu Han was born in a businessman, his hobbies are more unique than those of ordinary people, he only loves feathers and birds - Fan, long feathers, animals that can fly, in the mansion of the Zhengjia family, everything should be there, everything.
Just like in front of him, Hai Dongqing, who is rumored to have only one of hundreds of thousands of condors, is in the main family, but an ordinary plaything.
fell into the hands of Zhengshu Han, more like a docile sparrow.
He patted his feather back, pointed at Xi Jiangyue and whispered a few words, Haidong's blue eyes seemed to be painted, he turned his head to look at Xi Jiangyue, and then spread his wings and left.
Zhengshu Han wiped the jade whistle in his hand with sake, and then sent it to Xi Jiangyue with both hands, "I have used things that ordinary people in this world, and I hope Jiang Yue will not blame them." ”
Xi Jiangyue didn't pretend to say anything, took the jade whistle, thanked him, and turned around and left with Mu Yi.
"Jiang Yue."
"What?" Xi Jiangyue's footsteps paused slightly, but she didn't look back.
"Last night, the thatch borrowed arrows...... the main book was not finished in Korean, but the meaning was very clear.
"It doesn't matter who gives advice, if you can protect the people of Cangzhou, the Zhengjia can operate here." Xijiang Yue said goodbye and walked away.
Until the clear and beautiful shadow disappeared, Zhengshu Han still did not come to his senses, only smiled.
When the two of them walked away, Mu Yi said curiously: "Sister, the method of borrowing arrows from thatch is obviously what you think, if you let the world know that your sister is wise, you will definitely respect your sister as a god." ”
"What is the use of the world's name? It's just a burden. Xi Jiangyue stopped, tied the jade whistle in his hand to the young man's neck with a red thread, and said: "If I accept the praise of the world at this moment, I will also accept the slander of the world in the future." ”
"Since it is something that does not enter my heart, it doesn't matter whether I say it or not."
Mu Yi didn't seem to understand, but he agreed with what his sister said, "Sister, when will we go home?" ”
"Mu Yi is homesick?"
"Where my sister is, it's Mu Yi's home."
The young man is innocent, and his words are even more sour.
"Mu Yi will accompany my sister to go to the Pinglan Valley and the first-line peak again, okay?"
"Okay."
At sunset, the two walked side by side.
*
Evening.
Xiao Zhen was alone, and then entered Cangzhou Pinglan Valley.
He spread the ground with a mat, put the fruit incense candle on it, pious three knocks, and then said: "The great grace of the tree god, Xiao Yu is unforgettable." But now there are many countries, and the Northern Qiang barbarians are raging, causing the lives of our East Vietnamese border to be devastated, and I implore the tree god to appear again and enlighten me. ”
The mountain breeze blew in his ears, startling a group of birds and beasts.
The hundred-year-old tree in front of him, but there was no reaction.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhen kowtowed again, "I beg the tree god to dial." ”
This time, the mountain wind has stopped, and in the empty valley, only the sound of breathing can be heard.
Xiao Zhen still didn't give up, and immediately bit his fingertips, and blood flowed into the lacquer bowl.
He knelt on the ground, pointed to the sky, and said: "Tonight, I swear by Xiao Zhen's blood, he will treat me every day, and he will build a temple for the tree god, so that the people of the world will worship every day." ”
A hundred meters away, in a carriage that was pitch black and seemed to blend with the dark night, Xi Jiangyue sat on her knees.
"Sister, why did that man worship a tree?" A young man with excellent ears, he was puzzled in his heart.
Xi Jiangyue stroked her sleeves, revealing the delicate jewelry on her wrist, and her tone was quite light, "Because he is incompetent, he can only ask for help." ”
Mu Yi was puzzled, "Since he is so useless, why does my sister still help him?" ”
"He who is useful, he shall not borrow; If you can't use it, ask for it. "The sound of the moon in the Xijiang River is like gurgling water, and there is no edge at all.
Mu Yi scratched his head, the words in his sister's mouth were separated, he knew what it meant, why were they connected, but it made people feel like they were encountering foreign words?
Xi Jiangyue was not in a hurry, and explained softly: "Those who have made a difference by themselves are often difficult to be controlled and controlled by others, so they cannot be used by me; Those who do nothing on their own often need to rely on others to gain a foothold, so it is possible for them to be of our own use. ”
Mu Yi's eyes rolled slightly, as if he understood or not.
"It's okay if you don't understand such a yin and yang strategy." Xijiang Yue's eyes are like black jade soaked in a clear spring, looking up and looking into the distance, flashing a little bit of luminous light, "As long as my sister is in the ......" will not let people bully you.
Her wide sleeves were slightly raised, and a silver needle reflected the cold moonlight on the horizon, stabbing straight into Xiao Zhen's neck.
Seeing this, Mu Yi became more and more puzzled, "Since my sister helped him like this, why didn't you let that person know that it was your sister who was planning behind it, not a tree?" ”
"The world is ignorant, and would rather believe in ghosts and gods than be confident, let alone speak of others." As soon as Xi Jiangyue's voice fell, the curtain in the car was windy, and in the blink of an eye, the ghostly young man around him had disappeared.
Instantly.
The boy turned back again.
He is thin and small, but his strength is surprisingly great, and he holds a big man in one hand to resist the wind, as if he were walking on the ground.
"Smack!" Mu Yi casually dropped the big man and splashed a few places of mud.
"Sister, it's Xiao Jiajun." Mu Yi picked the corners of the wrists of the black-clothed man on the ground, revealing the pale blue Xiao characters on his arms.
It was a tattoo that the Xiao family's personal guards were eligible to tattoo.
Xijiangyue hooked her lips and smiled, glanced at the unconscious person on the ground, and a trace of coldness appeared between Mo Yu Qingquan's eyes, "Xiao Weixuan has been on the battlefield and officialdom for a long time, and his suspicion will definitely not be lighter than that of Bei Mingzhen." ”
Besides, Xiao Yi has always been an unknown concubine by his side, and if he suddenly opens his mind, he will definitely send someone to find out the reason.
"Dongyue, we can't stay any longer."
"If my sister wants to stay, I'll kill him."
"Boom!"
Mu Yi said, the short sword in his hand was half an inch out of his body, reflecting the moon in the sky, dyed with killing intent.
"Who taught you this?" Xi Jiangyue's face was slightly gloomy.
Mu Yi has always been innocent and indisputable, and these words should not come out of his mouth.
Seeing this, Mu Yi bowed his head silently.
He knew very well that his sister did not like bloody killings.
After a long time, he said timidly: "It's not someone else's professor, it's Mu Yi who thinks about it himself." ”
"Xiao Weixuan is the protector general of Dongyue, and he is not a good person, besides, there are no people and things I am looking for in Cangzhou, even if there is no matter tonight, I will not stay here for long."
Xi Jiangyue's slender and gentle sword gently pushed the short sword in Mu Yi's hand back into the scabbard, "In the future, if there is no other way, don't hurt people's lives, can you remember?" ”
The treacherous young man was unwilling, but he still nodded in agreement.
"My sister won't let you kill, it's not biased towards outsiders." Xi Jiangyue stretched out her hand, gently rubbed the young man's sideburns, cut the hairband for him, and said softly: "I'm just afraid that this world is dirty and will stain your pure Wuxi sword heart." ”
When Mu Yi heard this, he was disappointed and nodded with a smile.
Xi Jiangyue turned around, walked under the tree, put a cowhide envelope beside Xiao Zhen with a slender hand, and pulled out the silver needle around his neck by the way, before saying, "Let's go." ”
In the quiet valley, the carriage ran over the red soil after the rain, cut through the lonely night, and slowly left.
A cup of tea.
Xiao Zhen's fingertips moved slightly, slowly opened his eyes, opened the envelope in his hand, and cried with joy.
Among them, the strategy has made people smack their tongues, and the indulgence between the lines is even more powerful through the back of the paper and engraved into the eyes.
If it is said that the words are like the people, then the tree god who wrote this letter is transformed into a human form, and he will definitely be the mighty and handsome man who writes 3,000 prosperous with the pen as the sword, and the unruly is even more literati.
And what is used for writing is thinner than ordinary paper, and it is more regular than silk.
Praise a sentence as thin as cicada wings, there is really no fault!
Xiao Zhen took the paper closer again, wanting to carefully check its material, but he didn't want the mountain wind to blow, and the paper in his hand spontaneously combusted without fire!
"Ahh Xiao Zhen was shocked, and the paper thrown out in the panic burned out in the air.
Ghost Fire!
Xiao Yu's face was pale, staring at the ashes under his feet, and he suddenly knelt in front of the tree, and the trace of doubt about the big tree in front of him in his mind before was gone.
If it wasn't a miracle, he wouldn't believe it!
