Chapter 232: Temptation
Partnering with the caravan in the aisle is indeed much smoother.
Even the guest house didn't need them to take care of it, and the shopkeeper Chu had already booked the best room for them.
Bai Chen and a few people are naturally not polite, and if they are blessed, they will be bastards.
Li Yucheng has been even more peaceful these days, although his face is still very stinky, but Bai Chen has not had a full martial arts exercise with him for many days.
Since Li Yucheng listened to Bai Chen's allusion to the humiliation of his crotch that day, he seemed to have understood a lot of truths overnight.
Looking back now, I did have a lot of shortcomings.
Perhaps, only when a better person stands in front of him, can he see his own shortcomings.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he has to face reality.
This kid who doesn't seem to know how to learn does has extraordinary talent and wisdom.
The only thing Li Yucheng regrets now is that he didn't meet Bai Chen earlier.
Maybe if he met Bai Chen earlier, he would make himself more perfect.
Li Yucheng looked out the window at the dripping raindrops, which is what he does most often these days.
Whenever this happens, his mind is always very clear, and his thinking is very transparent.
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Li Yucheng's thoughts.
"Is Brother Li here?"
"Yes, please come in. Li Yucheng said flatly.
Shopkeeper Chu's chubby body entered the room, always with a professional smile on his face.
"Brother Li, is this room habitual?"
This room is the lower room specially prepared by the shopkeeper Chu for Li Yucheng, even if it is the five brothers of the Xiong family, he has arranged a middle room. Only Li Yucheng. He arranged for the next room.
There is only one bed in the house. Outside of a pair of tables and chairs, there was nothing else.
Li Yucheng does not like businessmen, both in the past and now.
In his opinion, these businessmen all hide themselves under a false skin.
In comparison, he was more accustomed to Bai Chen's style of acting with clear love and hate.
If he likes you, he will never play around with you, if he hates you. It will definitely not be false and wrong.
"It's okay, it's okay to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, I'm just a subordinate, so naturally I won't expect a house full of gold and jade. β
It's not that Li Yucheng can really forget the glory and wealth of the past, it's just that he has now recognized the reality.
Even if Bai Chen really gave him a golden jade hall, Li Yucheng didn't dare to use it.
"When the old man was your age, he didn't seek fame and fortune like you, thinking that he would be satisfied with a meal, but now that he looks back, how naΓ―ve and ridiculous. The little brother is young, but he has outstanding talent. Why can't you get ahead?"
"Oh, does the shopkeeper of Chu know what he is asking for?"
"How the old man guessed what the little brother thought in his heart, but the old man felt that what kind of master to follow was the most important, if the old man did not choose to follow the old man back then, I am afraid that it is still a life to move goods in the port. β
"Then what does the shopkeeper of Chu think is down?"
Shopkeeper Chu thought that Li Yucheng was tempted, and his face pretended to be hesitant, but he had already determined what he wanted to say in his heart.
"Old man, little brother, you are really the dragon and phoenix among people...... As for the young master of your family, if you don't like it, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, he can't compare with the little brother, if you have to say that it is better, then his background is better than yours, but he has such a good background, but he doesn't know how to make good use of it, in the old man's opinion, even if he lives a long life, he is a lifetime of mediocrity. β
Shopkeeper Chu was observing Li Yucheng's face, calculating whether he would be angry or happy because of his words at the moment.
However, Li Yucheng's expression disappointed the shopkeeper Chu, because Li Yucheng was not angry or happy.
Even Li Yucheng glanced at the shopkeeper Chu with a little disdain.
"The shopkeeper Chu is really accurate in looking at people. β
Shopkeeper Chu frowned suddenly, he has watched countless people in his life, and he can at least infer that he can at least infer nine out of nine.
For a fledgling boy, he was even more handy, but after some conversation, he couldn't tell the meaning of Li Yucheng's last sentence.
Are you agreeing with yourself, or are you laughing at yourself?
The shopkeeper Chu was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer Li Yucheng's words.
"Shopkeeper Chu, please take a break, and I'm going to hurry tomorrow. β
A person who can't even see through Bai Chen's essence actually wants to win himself over.
Did he really think that he was so easy to coax?
At this moment, Li Yucheng really doesn't look down on the so-called glory and wealth.
At least, by Bai Chen's side, what he could give himself was far from what others could imagine.
Why did his father have to let himself hang Bai Chen?
Of course, it's not just about punishing yourself.
Because his father knows that if you talk about this world, who can really guide yourself, it is undoubtedly that kid.
Li Yucheng is not a brainless person, on the contrary, he is smarter than most people.
He was in the shadow of failure, so he didn't realize the meaning of his father's decision.
At that time, he took it for granted that maybe Bai Chen humiliated him and tortured him like this, but he was just ordered by his father.
But now that I think about it, it's not without deep meaning.
Perhaps, being by Bai Chen's side is the way out for himself.
Perhaps, his father did not really give up on himself.
Li Yucheng remembered what the old emperor said: Whoever gets this son wins the world.
But at this moment, isn't it just in disguise that he got him?
Perhaps what my father meant at that time was not to get his assistance, but to get his guidance.
The bits and pieces of the past and the current circumstances did not make Li Yucheng's will sink, but aroused a trace of expectations, as well as a fighting spirit that he did not have in the past.
As for the shopkeeper Chu, it was a joke for Li Yucheng.
In this world, there are only two people who can make me Li Yucheng bow my head, and the others are not qualified.
......
"What's the matter?, did you fail?" the white-faced boy looked at the shopkeeper Chu with a gloomy face.
Before he went to convince Li Yucheng. He's got complacent. Look like the cat that ate the canary.
"That kid is so arrogant. Either the ambition is too great, the old slave just puts down his body, and he also has an unruly attitude, young master, even if this kind of person stays around, it may not be a good thing. β
"It's not a bad thing to be unruly, as long as he can recognize himself, and an unruly person. As long as you know how to control it, it will be more helpful. β
"Young master, do you think it could be that kid surnamed Long deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid and hiding in front of us?"
"No way, I've been probing many times in the past few days, and that kid is indeed a stunned young man, and he can't even figure out some superficial jargon. β
The white-faced boy is very conceited, with a kind of rebelliousness in his bones.
I have to say that his personality and self-confidence are very similar to Li Yucheng.
Although the two of them have little to do with each other. But they are all of the same kind.
They have superior backgrounds and superior talents. At the same time, they also have superior arrogance.
They only trust their own inferences, and in their opinion, everyone in the world is wrong, and they will not be wrong.
The white-faced boy glanced at the shopkeeper Chu and said flatly: "Take your time, don't worry, the journey to Shu is still long." β
The two were chatting, and suddenly the white-faced scholar's face changed: "Come out!"
At the same time, the teacup in his hand pierced the air and shot out towards the roof beam.
But not a drop of tea in the teacup was missing, and a pair of jade hands appeared in the rushing teacup, and gently held the teacup in the palm of his hand.
"Thank you to the jade-faced boy for drinking, the little woman is grateful. β
A woman in a pink dress slowly fell from the beam of the room like a goddess falling into the dust, her body was as light as the wind, and she was indescribably elegant.
"Demon flower, isn't it empty and lonely again, lacking men. The jade-faced boy looked at the visitor with a sneer, and his words were even more mean and sarcastic.
Demon Flower didn't care at all, anyway, her reputation in the rivers and lakes was famous for her debauchery.
"The little girl just heard you say that the kid surnamed Li is here, why don't you just let the little woman help you?"
"Don't bother. The jade-faced boy snorted coldly, can the man who was captured by the demon flower still be used for himself?
"There's nothing to bother with, it's just a fledgling boy, not to mention that you and I are old acquaintances, this busy boy should help each other...... Chu Fu, go and prepare an upper room for me, and you will be responsible for the accommodation and transportation of this girl during this time. β
The demon flower is very noisy, and she doesn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and she is not ambiguous at all when she sends the shopkeeper of Chu.
The shopkeeper Chu was embarrassed: "Miss Xuan, there are only two upper rooms in this inn, and the kid surnamed Long and the two women around him live there. β
"Chu Fu, what are you talking about with her, if she wants to stay, let her figure it out by herself. β
The jade-faced boy snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with his own minions and pandering to others.
The shopkeeper Chu is bitter in his heart, they are immortals fighting, and mortals are suffering.
Although he is the master of the jade-faced son, if the demon flower wants to rectify him, it is a matter of one finger, how can the shopkeeper of Chu lower his head and pretend to be honest.
"Giggle...... It's not embarrassing for you, but this room, this girl is going to decide......" Demon Flower glanced at the jade-faced boy: "Does the jade-faced boy think that the little girl will not get what she wants?"
The jade-faced boy snorted coldly, but he almost forgot in his heart.
Demon Flower's means of dealing with men, the kid who lives in the upper room, I'm afraid he will have nowhere to go for a night.
"It's your business how you want to deal with him, but don't hurt his life, after all, the official token in his hand can allow us to reach Shu as soon as possible. β
"Since it was ordered by the jade-faced boy, the little woman should obey her orders. With that, the demon flower chuckled again, turned around and walked out of the guest room.
The shopkeeper Chu watched the demon flower leave, and said in a low voice: "Young master, do you want the old slave to keep an eye on it, if this demon girl harms that kid's life, we don't know how long the road will be delayed." β
"No, although the demon girl is debauched, she still has a lot of priorities, she also wants to rush to Shu as soon as possible, so naturally she won't act recklessly......" The jade-faced boy paused, and said: "I'm afraid this demon girl is also coming for the hero's mound, in recent years, she has been suppressing cultivation, and the plan is very big, and she has to guard against ......it" (to be continued......)
