Chapter Eighty-Seven: One Thousand and One Nights
After the Lantern Festival, Dong Shiyin, Zhuang Yuya, Meng Jian'e and others really dressed up as men, and under Fan Baotong's arrangement, they quietly sneaked into Penglai Building and got the best listening seat.
Today happened to talk about the section of "Zhuge Liang's tongue and the group of Confucians", I saw Jiang Zhong on the main stage holding a paper fan, his spirit was flying, and he also spoke and acted, Zhuge Liang entered Dongwu, and the scene of the debate with the ministers of Dongwu was presented vividly and wonderfully.
After this story was finished, people of insight in the audience debated on the spot, pointing out that Jiang Zhong wanted to use Zhuge Liang's mouth to exhort the human race to have the courage to unite and fight against the demons, as long as the human race is united, there is no need to be afraid of the powerful demon race.
After Jiang Zhong rested for a while, he stroked his ruler and continued to speak, the inn, which was still a mess, became silent again in an instant, and everyone raised their heads and stared at Jiang Zhong intently, for fear of revealing a detail.
After Zhuge Liang's tongue fought against the Confucians, he successively exerted the method of agitation on Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and then went to the "Heroes Meeting Jiang Ganzhongji", and then to "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", the plot moved forward with twists and turns, Dong Shiyin, Zhuang Yuya, Meng Jian'e and others were also like other Beppu ladies dressed as men, and they could listen to it.
"Smack!"
Jiang Zhong talked about Huang Gai's appearance to present the time to Zhou Yu, and he was shocked, and said: "If you want to know what Huang Gai has offered, please listen to the next decomposition, everyone, hurry up tomorrow." ”
Although the audience had long been accustomed to Jiang Zhong's method of keeping suspense, they couldn't help but complain twice, saying that "Mr. Xiao Chen loves to hang people's appetite too much, and he is not authentic", Jiang Zhong ignored it and ended there.
After leaving, Jiang Zhong returned to his room, Fan Baotong led a few girls to Jiang Zhong, everyone met and had some greetings, and then Han Sanniang came over and said that lunch had been arranged and could be passed at any time. Jiang Zhong left a few people to eat together, and Han Sanniang hurriedly instructed the men to add more dishes and chopsticks and food.
So Jiang Zhong set up a small banquet in his room at the Penglai Inn.
"A few of us are also guessing Huang Gai's strategy, I guess it's a trick, I don't know if it's right?" Speaking of today's story, Meng Jian'e stopped her chopsticks and asked.
Jiang Zhong said with a smile: "Miss Meng Bingxue is smart, and she can guess well." ”
Zhuang Yuya continued: "It's just that how to use this trick of deception, there is a lot of knowledge in it, and the above story has already talked about Jiang Gan's scheme." It can be seen that the strategy to be used in this war will not be one or two, but a set of serial strategies, so I said, Huang Gai probably had a bitter plan before he offered a trick and surrendered the plan, Mr. Chen, I don't know if what I said is right or not?"
Jiang Zhong said: "Miss Zhuang can be described as Zhuge among women. ”
Zhuang Yuya smiled: "Mr. Chen has won the award. ”
Jiang Zhong said: "I didn't know Miss Zhuang well before, but the girl didn't like to talk, but now I know each other." But it was good to know that the girl was also such an interesting person. ”
Zhuang Yuya's face was slightly red, and she said, "Mr. Chen smiled." ”
Jiang Zhongdao: "What I said is from my heart, Miss Zhuang is a lady who is knowledgeable and reasonable, abides by filial piety to her elders, is polite and courteous, is polite and friendly to her peers, helps each other, and is generous and kind to her subordinates. Miss Zhuang should always think about herself, what she likes to eat, what she likes to watch, and what she loves to play. ”
Jiang Zhong said with a smile, Zhuang Yuya was stunned for a while, and waited for him to finish. smiled: "Yuya heard it, Mr. Chen is joking at Yuya." ”
Jiang Zhong hurriedly put down his chopsticks and arched his hand: "Girl Mingjian, I have no such intention here." ”
Seeing his sincere face, Zhuang Yuya smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Chen doesn't have to mind." ”
Jiang Zhong smiled and nodded.
Zhuang Yuya said again: "It's just what Mr. said." But ignore the fact that we are all women, and we must act according to a criterion, and my husband is so knowledgeable, when he knows that there is a saying of 'three obedience and four virtues', this is a major festival, and it is inconvenient to contradict each other, how can we do what I like by my own temperament?"
Speaking of this, Zhuang Yuya paused for a moment and continued: "Not to mention women, even men have their own rules of conduct. ”
Jiang Zhong agreed, and didn't say anything more, he didn't want to completely change some of Zhuang Yuya's inherent thinking through this two conversations, the reason why he suddenly mentioned such a sentence was just to slowly influence her concept through subtle methods and plant a beneficial seed.
After a while, the topic turned back to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", everyone inevitably had a lot of questions to ask, Jiang Zhong patiently answered, and by the way, he took this opportunity to ask everyone about the stories of the Three Kingdoms on the Julian continent.
After eating, the girls had to take a carriage back to Fan's mansion, while Jiang Zhong and Fan Baotong went outside the city to inspect the construction progress of the Guanguan Building.
The carriage had just galloped out of the city gate for a while, and suddenly the handlebar of the carriage was in front of him, as if he saw a red shadow flashing, and he looked at it, there was no one on the road, and he walked for a while, and suddenly saw a girl with a red umbrella walking in front of the carriage, the girl seemed to be walking very slowly, but the carriage always kept a distance from her, and the handlebar was afraid of hitting the red umbrella girl, so she pulled the reins backwards and shouted loudly: "The girl in front, please get out of the way." ”
After shouting, another red shadow swept by, the red umbrella girl was gone, the road of the carriage was gone, and the eyes were red, unable to distinguish things, as if this side of the world was covered by the red umbrella.
The handlebar stopped the carriage and turned around and shouted, "Young master, Mr. Chen!"
No one answered, and after a while, the Fan Mansion worship who followed the car lifted the curtain and looked up, then stretched out a hand, drew half a circle in the palm of his hand, clenched it into a fist, and a vigorous force came out, straight to the red light.
"Bang!" A muffled sound, the red light decreased by half, the big offering fist changed again, and another strong wind flew out, making a "bang" sound, the red light retreated by half, seeing that the red light disappeared, suddenly a red umbrella quickly rotated and flew to the big offering, the big offering arm soared, to catch the umbrella handle, at this moment, suddenly heard Fan Baotong in the car call a "teacher", the red umbrella disappeared in an instant, the big worship suddenly shrank into the carriage, but it was too late, Jiang Zhong had been robbed.
"Hurry back to Fan's Mansion!" the big worshipper shouted, and the carriage returned the same way.
It is very unbelievable that there are assassins in ambush near Luzhou, the capital of Liang.
Jiang Zhong was carried away for twenty or thirty miles before he really realized this.
"Miss Wan, right?"
After the assassin stopped, he had not yet been able to save Jiang Zhong from his death. Jiang Zhong asked first.
"You ......" The assassin bounced to the side, staring at Jiang Zhong vigilantly, and asked, "When did you wake up?"
Jiang Zhong said: "You didn't knock me out." ”
The assassin became a little nervous and asked, "You." Recovered?"
Jiang Zhong shook his head and said, "If you want to kill me now, it's easy." Jiang Zhong spread out his hands and made a gesture of "you might as well do it".
Where would the Assassins believe it, they felt that something must be wrong with this. Holding her red umbrella tightly in her hand, she stared at Jiang Zhong for a moment.
Jiang Zhong asked, "Did you come to Luzhou to kill me?"
"Yes. ”
"Are you the killer of the Chaohua League?"
The assassin did not answer.
"That's it. ”
Jiang Zhong said: "But I remember that before you killed people in the Flower Alliance, you would scatter flowers first, why didn't you scatter flowers just now, could it be that you don't want to kill me now?"
The assassin did not squeak.
"You don't want to kill me, but you robbed me, you, you don't want me to tell you about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right?"
The assassin snorted and said, "Your mother-in-law doesn't listen enough to your mother-in-law every day. ”
Jiang Zhong was stunned. Said: "But that's how it was serialized." You can't kidnap a storyteller just because he doesn't listen enough to what he says every day. ”
The assassin complained: "If you continue to say this, when will it end, the story will never end, when will I be able to kill you?"
Jiang Zhong said: "You mean, when I finish the story, you are going to kill me?"
The assassin was silent, and after a moment, said, "I have exceeded the appointed time, and I will not kill you again." It's a breach of contract, and today I've been exposed, and I can't go back to Luzhou City, so you just finish the story. Wouldn't it be nice if I killed you and everyone was fine?"
Jiang Zhong sighed: "Sure enough, the logic of God, I don't know whether to praise you for your confidence or scold you for having a problem with your IQ." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Since I know that you will kill you after the story is finished, I am sure I will not finish the story so quickly, fool. ”
"You call me a fool?!" the assassin took a step forward. Murderous intent.
Jiang Zhong raised his hand in surrender and said, "Okay, don't come over again, I have a question for you, I wonder if Brother Assassin has heard the story of "One Thousand and One Nights"?"
"What one thousand and one nights?"
"It's also a story, and if you're not busy, I can tell you about it. ”
"You want to stall. ”
"Isn't it the same as delaying time when talking about the Three Kingdoms?"
The Assassin thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, you can say it." ”
"That's right, it is said that in ancient times there was a murderer who did not blink, But the beautiful and lovely female assassin, one day this lovely assassin received a mission to assassinate a storyteller, but in the process of killing him, she fell in love with the storyteller's story, in order to hear the end of the story, she did not kill the storyteller on the first day, but waited until the second day, but the next day after the storyteller finished telling the story, he told a new story, and only half of it, so the assassin had to wait for another day, and so on and so on, until a thousand and one nights, and finally the beautiful and lovely female assassin fell in love with the storyteller, so she resigned from the League of Assassinsand wander the world with the storyteller. This is the story of the Thousand and One Nights. ”
After hearing this, the Assassin was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you saying that there have been assassinations of storytellers by Assassins before?"
"yes, and that assassin is a beautiful and lovely female assassin. ”
"The Assassin didn't kill the storyteller, didn't complete the mission, and ...... How could their organization let her go?"
So they ended up wandering the world and hid somewhere the organization couldn't find it. ”
The Assassin shook his head and said, "There's no place in the world where the Order can't find it. ”
"Maybe that assassin is more powerful. ”
"Don't you say I'm not good, when you see my umbrella sword, you won't say that. ”
"The girl has thirty-six swords in an umbrella, and there are silver needles and hidden weapons, of course they are powerful. ”
"How do you know how many swords I have in my umbrella?"
"I've seen the girl's umbrella. ”
"Are you recovering? Honestly. ”
"No, there is no recovery, don't believe it, you can try it. ”
"I don't believe you, you are a sinister and cunning person, and you don't have a word of truth in your mouth. ”
"But if you don't kill me, wait for them to find me, what will you do, you can't pay the errand, will your organization let you go? I don't want you to hurt myself for me, in that case, I will feel very guilty. ”
"You, you, you, are you caring about me?"
Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "You are also a lovely and beautiful girl." ”
"Hmm. ”
"My name is Chen Renzhong. ”
"I'm a ghost fox. ”
"Now, now that we know each other's names, they are good friends, good friends must protect each other, and I will not allow others to bully you in the future, did you just say that you want to hear the story?"
"Yes, after listening to the story, I can kill you. ”
"Hey, didn't you notice that I just said we were friends?"
"I hear you. ”
"Then you're going to kill me?"
"I have a mission. ”
"Then I won't tell you a story. ”
"After the twentieth day of the first lunar month, whether you say it or not, I will kill you. ”
"Then I'd rather wait a few more days, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
"I'm the code name assassin of the Chaohua Alliance, I'm going to kill you, you won't have any chance. ”
"It's not like I haven't seen the Chaohua Alliance code name assassin before, you can't scare me. ”
"That's useless, I'm the most powerful code name assassin, I shot 10,000 taels at a time, and I never missed. ”
"That's pretty good. ”
"yes, so it's useless for you to try to stall for time. ”
"Aren't you afraid of my killing poems?"
"The data shows that your courage has been broken, and you can't recover it, you can't adjust your literary spirit, and it's useless for you to kill poetry. ”
"Your Chaohua Alliance is known as the number one killer organization in the world, but in terms of data collection, it is not very comprehensive. ”
"What do you mean, you're recovered?"
Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "Wen Dan may not be able to recover for a while, but I can tell you another secret, you see......"
Jiang Zhong said, stretching out his arms, and a thin golden light flashed.
"Golden Warriors!" (To be continued.) )
