Volume 3 The World Buwu Chapter 123 Sniff the roses again, you are also a tiger
When Zhou Zhe left the forbidden army garrison in the early morning, only Lin Xiaoer followed him, and it was very cold in the capital in the early morning, no less cold than the glacier in the northern plains. At this moment, Zhou Zhecai felt that the cards were ruthless when they were used, if it weren't for the Dasheng Tianshu, let alone Tianyu Pavilion, I am afraid that he would not be able to deal with a small sect, such as the original Hundred Knife Gate, the owner of the family is the son-in-law of the Hanging Mountain, kill, the Hanging Mountain chases and kills you, if you don't kill, the Hanging Mountain knows or hunts you down.
No one could understand his mood at the moment, he was a little self-deprecating, and a little frustrated. Self-deprecating for his arrogance and ignorance under the spider cave, self-deprecating for his low eyesight, and even more frustrated that he has too few cards.
For a whole day, Zhou Zhe almost saddled his horse non-stop, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, but it was difficult for anyone to connect these seemingly illogical things together.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, this is already the day of the second gladiatorial competition after the year, Zhou Zhe is still going to return to the gladiatorial arena, Xin Chai has been guarding Yan Fucheng in the capital at this time, Chen Zui also stayed in the book of heaven, and there are only Yuan Fang brothers in the private room for a long time, which will attract the attention of many people, so he can't go, and he has to keep the people of the four major factions firmly staring here.
Just a few days after the gladiatorial competition, Cheng Luoluo came to Zhou Zhe's private room wearing a gorgeous costume and a fur coat.
Cheng Luoluo's arrival immediately added a lot of color to the private room, and the air brought Cheng Luoluo's unique fragrance. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of many deacons in the private room, what do they want to do?
"I didn't know that the Qin Sage was coming, and I missed the welcome, please. Zhou Zhe waved his hand, the chair was controlled to pull away, and the teapot was also controlled to pour a cup of tea.
Cheng Luoluo smiled like a spring breeze, sat on the chair, his slender fingers slid slowly on the mouth of the teacup, and looked at the gladiatorial arena with a half-sideways face, and then said slowly: "Zhou Zhe, you have been very busy lately! Can you tell what you are doing?"
Zhou Zhe also sat at the table, drinking tea and watching the game, but absent-mindedly, "What did you guess?"
Cheng Luoluo smiled, dipped his fingernails in the water on the lid of the teacup, lit it on the table, and wrote three words. "Tianyu Pavilion. ”
can guess that eighty percent has already sat down, Zhou Zhe straightened his body in an instant, and the Yuan Fang brothers didn't have the heart to watch the game, and they also put away their minds, although everyone was sitting at the moment, but perhaps, the next moment was the sword out of the sheath.
The tension didn't last long, Cheng Luoluo opened his mouth first, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just curious, if I want to make trouble, it will be Bai Shanshui who is talking here at this moment." Then he looked at Zhou Zhe with big eyes, like two bright headlights, as if all the conspiracies and tricks could not escape these bright eyes.
Yes, if Tianyu Pavilion is damaged, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the weapon that Bai Shanshui does not take advantage of, and with his character, he will naturally come, this is a reminder and a warning. Zhou Zhe needed to think carefully, he exhaled, put down the teacup, leaned back on the chair in a more comfortable position, and then stopped looking at Cheng Luoluo's eyes, just asked lightly, "What do you want?"
"The secret of the Colosseum. Cheng Luoluo replied directly.
Zhou Zhe still looked at the gladiatorial arena, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, but in his heart, he was panicked like a dog. "My mastery needs a lot of mastery as a reference, and the four major schools alone are not enough. Moreover, here you can meet the heroes of the world, recruit one or two, you see, I don't have many people available. ”
"That's all?" Cheng Luoluo felt that Zhou Zhe's mastery was indeed very weird, but he felt that it was not, as if something was missing.
Zhou Zhe added, "It's okay to make money!" Cheng Luoluo was completely confused, and her intuition told her that the gladiatorial arena hid a deeper connotation, but Zhou Zhe's answer seemed to be right, unwilling, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Don't you want to know how I can guess which one it is?" Cheng Luoluo also leaned back in his chair, and at this time, the two of them really looked like two friends were talking.
The corners of Zhou Zhe's mouth turned up, and he felt a little bored, "It's not important, you guessed it anyway, there's no point in me denying it, you and I are friends, otherwise when the fire starts, you can help me talk?"
Cheng Luoluo still said how she came to the conclusion: "You went to Yan Fucheng's house, went to the internal guard yamen, went to Deacon Ma, and the people around you were sent out one after another, so that you can pay so much attention to it, the circle has shrunk by more than half." Combined with the first article, in the past six months, the big business involved in the hands of Lord Shangshu is the only one. ”
Zhou Zhe smiled, clapped his slap and made no secret of his appreciation for Cheng Luoluo's intelligence, "Talented girl, I don't know how to describe the rest." ”
Cheng Luoluo also smiled, "Are you afraid of describing too much, and the vinegar essence in your family can't get along with you again!"
Zhou Zhe looked helpless and got to the point, "What Yan Han said that day was really right, this woman should only be in heaven." ”
Cheng Luoluo still smiled, "If you met me first, would the ending be different?"
This is definitely a death trap, Lin Xiaoer is sitting under the wall! He will really give Xin Chai a small report, even if he doesn't take the initiative to say, but what Xin Chai asks, he will answer absolutely accurately.
Zhou Zhe looked serious, "The same." But in my heart, there is another answer, and there is another sentence, we can't go back.
Cheng Luoluo looked back at Lin Xiaoer, as if he had seen through Zhou Zhe's heart, and seemed to be satisfied with his charm. "You're such an interesting person. Okay! I'm not kidding you. Sooner or later, things will be seen by the world, do you think of how to deal with Bai Shanshui?"
Zhou Zhe asked, "Are you so kind to remind me?"
"yes, I'm afraid that someone won't admit my hanging love. A sour word.
"You have such a good brain, what advice do you have?" Zhou Zhe leaned forward and leaned very close, almost touching her eyes.
Although Cheng Luoluo can tease Zhou Zhe, she can't adapt to being so close, after all, the hearts of the two are too far apart.
She put a finger on Zhou Zhe's shoulder and pushed forward, "Don't get too close, it will affect my watching the game." ”
made Cheng Luoluo also upset, and Zhou Zhe was comfortable, "Aren't I listening?" ”
Cheng Luoluo glanced at Zhou Zhe, I believe you are a ghost. "Baishanshui and them are business dealings, after all, Hexi is so far away from Shandong Province. The Yunshan Gate of the Sword Sect was originally famous for making swords, but the skills were not high enough. As for the Qiankun Gate. Cheng Luoluo also looked in the direction of the cold and nodded. "They don't use weapons. ”
Indeed, looking at it, it is true that the Sword Sect and Tianyu Pavilion actually have business dealings, but the subordinates are in competition, and the Qiankun Sect does not use weapons, and destroying Tianyu Pavilion is equivalent to weakening other sects that use weapons, and they like to see it. Cheng Luoluo's suggestion actually sets out the current situation, but why is this?
Zhou Zhe couldn't figure it out, "Cheng Luoluo, what is the reason for the advice you gave so well?"
"You're so smart, can't you guess?" After speaking, Cheng Luoluo got up, brought a gust of fragrant wind, and swept past Zhou Zhe's side and left.
Sincerity, brought, this is Cheng Luoluo's way of doing things. Zhou Zhe didn't like it, because even if she didn't tell Zhou Zhe this, he could think of it, but if he didn't like it, it didn't prevent you from using it, let alone from thinking about what Cheng Luoluo said, join forces. This is an olive branch from the Hanging Mountain, Zhou Zhe is extremely entangled, Cheng Luoluo is too smart, if it is replaced by severe cold, replaced by Ye Tianyi, he is somewhat sure of controlling the situation and concealing his little abacus, but Cheng Luoluo, he is not sure at all.
"Little junior brother, what does she mean?" Fang Fang asked confusedly.
"What does she want to do with us in the future, what do the two senior brothers think?" Zhou Zhe reluctantly threw the question to them, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Fang Fang replied arrogantly, "Of course she is so smart, we are now doing business like two opposite doors, either raising prices together to make a fortune, or making trouble with each other." ”
Although this example is not appropriate, it is very reasonable, she Cheng Luoluo may not be able to get benefits, but she has the right to stir up, and when she doesn't get benefits, she can disgust him at any time, and he Zhou Zhe will also make a fuss when the time comes.
is so calculating, but joining forces like this, Zhou Zhe always feels that he is forced and extremely uncomfortable.
Zhou Zhe sighed lightly in his heart, Cheng Luoluo, no matter how you hide it, the strength in your heart is still there, there is a tiger in your heart, no matter how you sniff the rose, your heart is still a tiger.
On the thirteenth day of the first month, the lantern festival began, and Zhou Zhe took Hua Zan, Zhan Qili, Wei Lan, and other new income under his door to enjoy the lively scene of the capital at night.
Tonight, there is no curfew, the capital from the palace gate to the Tianshu Gate and then south to the south gate are the most lively, food stalls, acrobatics, lanterns, everything, there are countless men and women meet on the street, with affection. Brother Yuan Fang was invited by Li An'an to watch the play under King Qi's stage, which was actually done by Ye Ziyu under her banner. Otherwise, the two Qingqing next to me and me, she is extremely embarrassed by herself, so it is better to take Yuan Yuan with her. As for Fang Fang, what right do single dogs talk about, eat your dog food.
Chen drunk accompanied Lao Chen to hang out, and in a few days, after the opening of the government, Lao Chen finished his debriefing, and he was going to return to the north, and Zhou Zhe had no reason not to let the father and daughter enjoy their family alone. It's just that after hard pursuit, I have to lie dormant in Yan Fucheng's mansion for a few days. Zhou Zhe let Miao Xiaomeng ride on his neck and let her look higher, while Lin Xiaoer opened the way in front, squeezing through the crowd all the way, like a tank opening the road, and everyone followed to the place where the lanterns were the best and the most crowded.
Zhou Zhe wanted to see it, look at this acre of prosperous and antique lantern festivals, and see the flowers in the world.
Miao Xiaomeng looked at each other more, Duan Xiangsi and the others really hadn't seen the prosperity of the capital, everything was fresh, only Suo E still remembered his duties, and reminded Duan Xiangsi from time to time not to yell and disturb Hou Ye's Yaxing, don't always watch other people's daughters make trouble for Hou Ye, don't wait.
As for Zhan Qili and the brothers of the horse gang, she is the outer guard, since she got the inheritance of Liang Shiqiu and belonged to Zhou Zhe, she also knows that her identity is her disciple, and Hua Zan and Su Daosan are standing by Zhou Zhe's side. Wei Lan still has a weapon with him, but fortunately, he is in a box, and he is really more professional than a professional sergeant.
"Master, I want the biggest carp. Miao Xiaomeng pointed to the large carp-shaped lantern at the highest part of the place where the lantern riddle was guessed in front of her.
"Yes, carp, fish. Pouting your little mouth and talking. Zhou Zhe said with a smile, and then shouted to Lin Xiaoer, "Open the way ahead, Lin Xiaoer, big carp, go." ”
After getting the order, Lin Xiaoer exerted his strength to lead the way, and the people of the horse gang pushed and shoved on both sides, which made some people unhappy, but when they looked back, the insiders were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and who dared to provoke the fierce gods and evil guards?
"Give me that big lantern. Carp. Zhou Zhe shouted loudly, and the next moment, the people around him who were also watching the lantern riddle were contemptuous, as if saying that this was a big stupid hat.
The boss greeted with a smile, "The lights here have lantern riddles, the outermost circle, guess once, one or two silver, two taels inside, and so on." The biggest lamp, to wait for the outside of the lantern riddle to guess the riddle, to uncover the puzzle, ten taels of silver guess once, who guesses, to whom. ”
Zhou Zhe was dumbfounded, feelings are still an elegant thing, no wonder the group of people who watched the puzzles on the lamp despised him.
Zhou Zhe was distressed, this, what to do. Look around, there doesn't seem to be a cultural person, but they are all here, and they always have to see it.
In the first circle, nearly half of the twenty lanterns have been unraveled. Zhou Zhe picked up a lantern casually and looked at the puzzle below: "There are not many beards, the sides are curled, the opening is always meowing, the eyes of the night patrol are like lights, and the granary kitchen is sentry." "Extremely simple children's puzzles, if it weren't for Zhou Zhe's understanding of the marketing of the earth and thinking that he would give away lanterns for nothing, guess once for one or two silvers, the boss would really be able to do business.
However, money is not a thing, Hou Ye is not short of money, "The first one, cat." Zhou Zhe took off the lantern, and Suo E stood beside the boss and was responsible for giving money.
"Sharp mouth, thin legs, cunning and suspicious. Zhou Zhe picked it up and looked at it, "Fox." "Move on to the next one. The first lap was naturally easy to do, but in the second lap, I was dumbfounded.
None of the riddles on the ten lanterns are easy. But it was Hua Zan beside him who spoke, and it was a fan of weapons and scribe ornaments. asked, "Master Hou, why don't you try?"
Someone tried, Zhou Zhe couldn't wait, a group of people next to him watched, no matter how bad the face was, people always felt that they couldn't hold their faces without guessing. Zhou Zhe smiled, "You come, you come, anyone else can come and guess." ”
Hou Ye pays, everyone guesses the lantern riddle, that relationship is good, but basically they are self-aware, such as Duan Xiangsi, Dou Da only knows his own name, so he doesn't look at the lantern riddle. On the contrary, Su Daosan, an honest man who has always been low-key, guessed a lot, and it seems that the upbringing of this public waiting family has not been lost. At least a little bit of culture.
Seeing that Zhou Zhe and his entourage guessed the ten lanterns in the second circle, the crowd who despised them just now was a little unbearable, and they also joined in.
The boss is happy, the money is earned, and it is estimated that it can be closed early, so such a good thing is naturally happy. Of course, the mouth of doing business should be sweet, almost the mouth is full of auspicious words, so-and-so is talented, so-and-so is powerful, and his face is about to cramp with laughter.
The ten in the second circle, in the case of the "wisdom" of the city, also successfully broke through, and the third circle, five, was also successfully resolved under everyone's offensive.
The boss laughed, stood on the stool under the big carp, and shouted, "Whoever guesses the third puzzle will belong to whoever guesses." Please. Then he pulled the rope with his hand, and the riddle opened.
"The king of Hades was furious again, and ordered his body to be sawed apart"
Whether this sentence is auspicious or unlucky, everyone is dumbfounded and can't guess. Zhou Zhe was also dumbfounded, after working hard for a long time, he was stuck here, how could he do it?
The boss is happy, "Guess ten taels at a time." After paying the money, the mystery of the report can be calculated. "All the riddles in front of this boss are not particularly difficult, but they are waiting here!
Zhou Zhe had the idea of bribing the boss to take the lantern and leave, but in this crowd, Xiaomeng was still beside him, and he couldn't afford to lose this person, it was too disgraceful, so he didn't do it.
"Lantern riddles, it doesn't seem to be difficult to guess. The voice of a middle-aged and elderly person came out of the crowd, and then everyone was also squeezed out of the way, Huang Yunyi, Huang Yin, and Zhang Xuanfeng and Zhang Yingfeng brothers appeared in front of Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe's eyes froze, why are they here?
Huang Yunyi continued with a smile, "I didn't expect Deputy Commander Zhou to be here, it's a coincidence. As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly whispered, which deputy commander Zhou? Who else could know.
Zhou Zhe said with a smile: "It turned out to be a Huang senior who left traces in the clouds, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful." Listening to the words of Huang seniors, it seems that he has guessed the mystery of this lantern riddle?" Zhou Zhe felt that it was just an accident to see him here, anyway, in a few days, all the dead people on the other side would be, so why bother with the dead people.
Huang Yunyi touched his beard and smiled at Zhou Zhe, "Guess, I guessed it, but it's hard to say." He looked at the flower praise behind Zhou Zhe again, and his smile seemed to be changing.
It is indeed changing the taste, Zhou Zhe also tasted something abnormal, could it be that Cheng Luoluo sold me? Or did the old boy on the other side find something? Zhou Zhe looked back at Hua Zan, and it could be seen from Hua Zan's blank eyes that Hua Zan didn't know why.
"How do you say this?" Zhou Zhe was puzzled.
Huang Yunyi smiled and said: "Deputy Commander Zhou has been working hard here for a long time, just for this lantern on the top, if we guess it, it's not good, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, but this mystery is really not good." If not, I have a little eye, leave the road tattoo in the void, and ask Deputy Commander Zhou to correct it. After speaking, Huang Yunyi didn't know when the finishing pen was already in his hand, and he drew a series of patterns in the void, and then smiled and led people away.
"Cut off the robe and cut off righteousness. No wonder Huang Yunyi refused to dictate, Zhou Zhe understood, and he was also relieved, it seems that the fish have not yet discovered the existence of the big net. Looking back at Hua Zan, there were beads of sweat behind his ears. The enemy is very red when he sees him, he can bear it, and he can afford to be the head of Xishan. Zhou Zhe only regarded this as a chance encounter and left the matter behind.
handed in the puzzle and successfully got the headlight, at this moment Miao Xiaomeng is the most envious person of the children around.
The eldest lady was happy, Duan Xiangsi also followed the silly music, and even Zhou Zhe's mood returned to normal.
"Boom!" fireworks have been set off in the sky at this moment, and it is very beautiful.
After appreciating the lanterns and eating the rice balls, everyone's mood relaxed a lot, calculating the time, it was almost time to go back, so a large stack of people, it was naturally not good to return to the heavenly book, the placement of the Blood Moon Hall was more suitable, and Xin Yun, the housekeeper of Xin Chai, arranged everything in advance, so he didn't have to worry.
