Chapter 31: The Warm Water Frog

Thirty years ago, the Great Yan Kingdom held a law change, got rid of the old nobles, and the new emperor Ji Xifeng ascended the throne, single-handedly pushing the Great Yan to its peak and becoming the first Ming monarch in the history of the Great Yan.

The personnel changes under Ji Xifeng are very drastic, and today's favored ministers may become the ghosts of the execution ground tomorrow.

However, there is one person who has always been by his side, and his status has not wavered in the slightest, and finally he has reached the peak below one person.

This person's name is Kong Xuanchi.

He assisted Ji Xifeng and governed Dayan prosperously, and was known as a "half-saint".

However, those who have seen a little scenery know very well in their hearts that a person who can accompany the emperor for thirty years without nothing will never be a saint.

As a right-hand prime minister, many times, if you want to accomplish something, you need special means.

However, most of these methods have not seen the light of day.

So Makino has not been able to rise to the top.

He was like a shadow behind Kong Xuanchi, a cloud of shadows, wandering in the misty night, licking the blood, and feeding on it.

However, he was not dissatisfied, because most of the monks who practiced this killing technique were regarded as outliers by people.

There will only be one outright end, fleeing, and finally dying.

If you want to have a different ending, you can only become the shadow and knife of a certain big man, and do some dirty things in the gutter.

Therefore, Makino tasted it and felt that he was lucky.

Because he is Kong Xuanchi's shadow, in other words, he is also a figure above 10,000 people.

Although he is often referred to as the Dark Ground Mouse.

This kind of title is a bit difficult for many people to accept. But people who practice the killing technique basically don't care. This is especially true of him.

He even came up with a very philosophical sentence for this. At least he thinks he's philosophical.

As much praise as you can bear, you have to bear as much slander as you can.

His peers all praised him for this, which made him even more proud.

On this day, the weather seemed to be very good, and the morning sun was full of vigor, as if it could make people young and teenagers.

Makino loved the weather, and the sunlight made him forget the darkness and sin he carried.

Although he didn't care much about it.

He sat up from the bed, and the maid dressed him, wiped his face, and brought a human-high bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was of good quality and perfectly reflected his face.

At the age of forty, he wanders in the dark all year round, so his complexion is not very healthy and pale, but it also makes him look a lot younger, about thirty years old.

Except for his skin color, his facial features are very good, at least many people will not leave the word Junxiu in their evaluations, most of them are still women.

The upright posture also made the maids on the side dazzled, and their hearts were rippling.

Makino glanced at the maid beside him and frowned slightly.

He is a very self-disciplined person, and excessive indulgence may make his body empty, and then he will die.

Obviously, the maid also knew this, and buried her head in a red face.

"Sir, shall I go buy breakfast now?"

Makino shook his head, the sun was warm today, and he decided to go to the breakfast shop by himself, which was considered to be a bask in the sun.

......

Half a meter of sunshine, the four words on the flag are a little delicate.

This breakfast shop, business is still very good, every morning is overcrowded, want to buy a basket of steamed buns or a can of soy milk, often have to wait a quarter of an hour.

Makino looked at the long line, smiled slightly, and stood quietly at the end of the line.

The older he gets, the more he wants to live a simpler life.

If he could, he would even want to get rid of the identity of the shadow and become a real ordinary person.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Makino finally approached the counter.

"Mr. Mu, what do you want?"

The male voice in his ears made Makino a little stunned.

At this time, he focused his eyes on the counter, a teenager with clear eyebrows and a sunny smile.

However, he frowned.

He used to come here, and the person standing at the counter was a woman with a few freckles on her face. The woman never asked him what he wanted to eat, because she remembered.

"A cage of green pine buns, a bowl of lotus leaf porridge. ”

Makino frowned slightly, slowly exhaled the depression in his heart, and turned to walk to a table.

After a while, Xiao Er served steamed buns and lotus leaf porridge.

"Where did the original woman go?" asked Makino.

It's not that he has any feelings for that woman, it's just that he has become accustomed to the existence of that woman in the past few years.

Habits have always been a terrible thing, and once they cease to exist one day, they will be like a breeze on the wings of a butterfly, rolling up a terrible storm.

Now there is a small storm in Makino's heart.

"Is Mr. Mu talking about Miss Li?" Xiao Er sighed with a little regret, "Miss Li resigned, saying that she didn't want to repeat this monotonous life. ”

A complicated light flashed in Makino's eyes, he nodded, and muttered in a low voice, "That's right." ”

"Mr. Mu, if it's okay, I'll go down first?" Xiao Er asked tentatively.

Makino nodded, picked up a green pine bun and put it in his mouth.

I always feel that today's buns have less flavor.

Drink lotus leaf porridge again, it seems to be a little too salty!?

In short, when Makino left "Half a Meter of Sunshine", he was not in the same good mood as when he came.

It's like the sun in the sky, which is covered with a layer of dark clouds.

......

Half a meter across the sun, there is a restaurant, the third floor of the restaurant is next to the street, the window is propped up.

The sunlight shone on a young man, who seemed to be very comfortable, and the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Mr. Xia......"

Behind the young man, there was a woman standing, green silk like a waterfall, gentle eyebrows and eyes, at first glance, she was from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, full of gentleness.

The only downside was that she had a few freckles on her face.

"Well, you can go. Xia Qiu smiled slightly and handed a money bag to the woman.

The woman took the money bag, glanced at Xia Qiu uneasily, hesitated for a few breaths, and finally couldn't hold it back, and opened the money bag with trembling hands.

The glow of the gold coin made her faint.

For a thousand gold coins, she has worked all her life in "Half Meter Sunshine", and she can't earn so much money.

Now as long as she leaves Changqiu City and returns to her hometown, she can get so much money for nothing, and she has no reason to refuse.

It's just that she can't figure out why the young man standing in front of her wants to do this.

Rich people may not care about money, but I have never heard of anyone who cares so much about money.

"There are some things you don't need to know. Xia Qiu squinted his eyes and smiled warmly.

It's just that the cold light that flashed through the gap still made the woman feel weak. She finally didn't dare to speak again, and went downstairs with her money bag.

Leaving Xia Qiu alone, she murmured in a low voice. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
