Chapter 33: Qi An's Theory of Burning Fire
The wind cooled down, and the moon hung low in the sky like an ice disk. Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and I don't know tomorrow's Jing family...... What will it look like? But these questions are not what Xi Yan is worried about, where is the Jing family going, and what does it have to do with him?
As when it came, it was still a small boat carrying guests towards the lake.
When boarding the boat, Xi Yan glanced back at the boat inexplicably, Jing Yuan was still sitting in the same place, and his posture did not change a bit. Xi Yan was thinking, if the Xi family really came to this day in the future, would he feel the same way as Jing Yuan? Will it be as ruthless as Jing Yuan? For a while, I was a little confused... But it was only a moment, and the cold reason in his heart began to remind him again that this was destined to be a duel to the death.
However, after half a day's effort, such a big change has happened, and a few people, as spectators, are not surprised by how they deal with them, and it is impossible for them to have no waves in their hearts. On the boat that left, Qi An was still standing on the bow of the boat, Xi Yan was standing on the side with his hands in his hands, and Situ Yizheng was sitting in the canopy with a gloomy face...
None of the three spoke, except for the "whoosh" of oars across the water, but the quieter the air, the harsh it sounded...... The silver-white moonlight spreads on the surface of the lake, and the Xixin Lake at night is like a cold pool full of frost and snow.
On the way back to Chongdu, Qi An was very cheeky and squeezed into Xi Yan's car.
Xi Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi An, his face seemed to be a little uncertain: "You always stick to me like this, and there will be gossip outside." ”
Qi An didn't move, "It's getting late, and I'm riding a horse alone, don't you want to give me a ride along the way?" ”
"Yes," Xi Yan squinted his eyes lightly and looked at him playfully, "If you are such a great beauty... Yes! ”
Before the three words "big beauty" were finished, he was punched by Qi An firmly on the shoulder, "Beauty? Do you say one more thing? ”
"Okay, okay, I won't say it," Xi Yan smiled lightly and sneered, "It's obviously a beautiful person, but he is so ruthless..."
How could Qi An be willing to fall behind, and immediately retorted: "A person who looks quite innocent, but he can make people angry to death when he says a word..."
After that, the two laughed together, both of them were a little depressed, but after such a fuss, the original depression in their hearts slowly dissipated.
Qi An lifted the curtain, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and suddenly sighed softly, as if he was a little melancholy.
"What's wrong?" When Xi Yan saw him like this, although he knew that he was probably going to moan without illness, he still couldn't help but ask.
Sure enough, Qi An slowly looked back and said, "It's nothing, I just looked at the moon, and I felt a little emotional..."
"What do you feel?" Although Xi Yan knew that he was probably going to talk nonsense again, he still couldn't help but ask again.
Sure enough, Qi An only groaned slightly, and then said a little stunned: "It is said that this moon is the most unstable thing in the world, but we still know when it will be round and when it will be missing." But what about the world? When Jing Xian went out this morning, did he ever think that he would die under Jing Yuan's sword? Heaven is impermanent......"
"Stop." Xi Yan had already asked him with some regret at this time.
"Today's change is happening to someone else, but there is no guarantee that it will not happen to you and me one day...... The world is so unpredictable, don't you think it's boring for us to do the math? ”
"Stop." Xi Yan put his hand on his forehead, his face showed pain, he really regretted asking the words.
"In the end, who can count the sky, maybe ......"
"Shut up!" Seeing that Qi An had no intention of stopping at all, Xi Yan only let out a low shout, which strangled Qi An's tirade in his stomach.
"Uh..."
"Miss Qi," Xi Yan looked at him very solemnly, "If you want to be sad about the wind and the moon, there will be time in the future." For now, let's think about how to deal with the Jing family. ”
As soon as Xi Yan said this, Qi An also felt that he was indeed a little pretentious. He was originally a dashing person with Meng Lang, and he was even more cold and decisive in planning and timing, and there should be no time for such a twist.
Thinking of what he said just now, Qi An couldn't help but want to slap himself twice, although he was ashamed in his heart, he quickly returned to his original appearance as calm as frost and snow.
"As soon as Jing Xian dies, the Jing family's infighting will be over......"
Xi Yan said lightly "um" and said, "Jing Yuan is not like Jing Xian, he is really vicious this time, and he has calculated everyone." ”
"Yes..."Qi An said angrily, "What kind of white bone order has gone to great lengths to force all of us to stand on his side." ”
As soon as Qi An said this, Xi Yan remembered one more thing, and said: "But I'm very curious, what trick did he catch you, so that you and Situ Yizheng don't say a word." ”
Qi An turned his face sideways, coughed dryly, and said: "The northwest is the place where my Qi clan rises, but the northwest is too vast, no matter what the benefits, my family alone can't take advantage of it." ”
"The Northwest is nothing more than iron ore, and there are trade routes for the countries of the Western Regions..."
Qi An bowed his head lightly and said, "Salt and iron are all owned by the imperial court, but since it is within my reach, how can I not take it for myself?" ”
"So he grabbed you? He doesn't divide up with you? ”
"No," Qi An said a little hesitantly, "We have nineteen points, and I will take ninety." ”
"He'll sit back and enjoy it," Xi Yan patted him on the shoulder and said lightly, "How does it feel to be pinched by the back of your neck?" ”
Qi An snorted coldly, and his eyes suddenly became frosty: "A few of us, who doesn't have something illegal in his hands?" But everyone has a measured hand, and no one has ever touched anyone's, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. Jing Yuan is good, not only sharing my benefits, but also coercing me with this..."
"Okay," Xi Yan interrupted him at the right time, "Since there is no one in the Jing family who can stop him, then presumably he will rise to the top soon, so what should we do?" ”
Qi An pondered slightly, then smiled coldly and said, "Since it is a foregone conclusion that he will rise to the top, then why should I go to great lengths to stop this matter?" ”
"What do you mean..."
Qi An smiled faintly, the cold glint in his eyes flashed slightly, "The Jing family is like a pot of hot oil now, and it looks calm. But in fact, a small drop of water can also make him explode in an instant. I'm in charge of stabilizing the fire, and you're in charge of pouring water into the pan when the fire is at its highest. ”
"I have been prepared," although Xi Yan's face was calm and light, there was already a little coldness in his words, "Don't worry, it will be arranged soon." Jing Yuan is too desperate to do things, although he can't be underestimated, but he is so vicious, how can he not hurt himself? ”
Qi An only smiled slightly, then turned sideways and leaned on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes; Although Xi Yan was a little sleepy, as soon as he closed his eyes, the moment Jing Xian fell to the ground and died, and the flesh and blood splashed on the white begonia appeared in front of him, and he was upset for a while, so he had to open his eyes again......
