Chapter 27: Shame and Pride

Di Choufei smiled, looked at Xu Zhenyan, and said slowly: "There is indeed no pleasure in bullying little people, but since there is no pleasure, why does Lord Xu come to this place?"

After coming out of the cave in the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, Di Choufei was no longer as sharp as before, he was like a sword that had been hidden in a sheath, only the rounded hilt was exposed, and the sword hidden in the sheath, which could not let people see the whole picture, was always more mysterious and powerful than an exposed sword.

Xu Zhenyan was like a gloomy dark cloud, he glanced at Di Choufei and said, "I'm not here to find Tang Ke, a classmate of Qingluan Academy, I'm here to find you." ”

"Oh?" Di Choufei looked at Xu Zhenyan playfully: "I don't know what Lord Xu is looking for me to do?"

"Wen Xuanshu helped me up, and transferred you from the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, just to let us eat dogs and suppress each other. Xu Zhenyan said gloomily: "But we have a common enemy, so we don't need to be like he arranged." ”

Di Choufei laughed.

Thinking of what had happened before, and thinking of his courage to enter the True Dragon Mountain at that time, his laughter was full of pride and contempt, and he laughed so much that his long black waterfall-like hair was flying behind him.

"You were wrong, you were wrong from the start. I have never thought of myself as Wen Xuanshu's dog, and no one has stipulated that if there is a common enemy, they will definitely become friends. And even if it's just trading and cooperating, I'm not going to work with someone who would betray even my own father. Di Choufei walked past Xu Zhenyan with a smile and got into his carriage.

Xu Zhenyan didn't get angry, but the coldness between his eyebrows was a few points thicker, and he didn't look back at Di Choufei who was about to leave in the carriage, but said coldly: "I heard the news that Zhou Shoufu is ready to marry his daughter, Gao Yanan, who is also one of my classmates, to Lin Xi, and Lin Xi should get married soon." I also heard a definite news, Leng Zhennan's daughter, who is also my classmate, Leng Qiuyu and another classmate of mine, Li Kaiyun, have feelings for each other, and Li Kaiyun is also one of Lin Xi's best and most concerned friends in the academy. ”

Di Choufei calmly entered the carriage and closed the door curtain, without any response.

His carriage departed.

Xu Zhenyan slowly turned around and walked towards his carriage.

A young criminal officer flattered Xu Zhenyan lifted the curtain of the car door, stared fiercely at Di Choufei's carriage flying away, and said coldly: "Di Choufei is too crazy and arrogant. ”

"He has that qualification. Xu Zhenyan sat in the gloomy carriage and said coldly: "Now there is no one in the military who has more real power than him, and there are almost no Holy Masters in Zhongzhou City, and according to reliable information, I am afraid that he will not have to wait until next summer to break through to the Holy Division." After all, he was the most talented student in the entire Immortal One Academy, the most talented cultivator in the past ten years. When I was a student who had just entered Qingluan Academy, he was already the commander of a front army of the Dragon Snake Border Army, and it was normal for him to look down on me. ”

The young criminal officer personally whipped the car and said hatefully: "But my lord, your power in the court is not inferior to him."

Xu Zhenyan waved his hand, interrupted the young criminal officer's words, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if these are all these, the important thing is that the more proud and confident he is, the more he doesn't see me as his opponent, the more he can't help but deal with Lin Xi... And he also knew that this was what the Holy One had to do, and he knew that doing so would make him more appreciated by the Holy One, and would allow him to get more power from the Holy One. What I have to do is watch him and Lin Xi eat dog. ”

The young criminal officer was slightly stunned, and sincerely admired: "Your Excellency is wise. ”

Xu Zhenyan closed his eyes, put on a blanket, and said expressionlessly: "You help me pay attention to the Liu family, I don't understand, after the launch of the Wen Xuanshu Autumn Festival, everyone seems to have an absolute advantage in Wen Xuanshu, and those local officials are ambiguous, why is the provincial governor of the Liu family so anxious to wave his army to the rescue, so eager to show his loyalty to the emperor? What makes them think that the emperor will win?"

The young criminal officer was stunned again.

Thinking of the local army that was heading north at the moment, he remembered that there were indeed many doubts in it. After he came back to his senses, he nodded, but he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, why do you think that the emperor will win and stand on the emperor's side so firmly?

......

......

In the past ten days, Emperor Yunqin's decrees have been unprecedentedly smooth, and he has issued many decrees.

A local army that had arrived from Shanyin Province to prepare for a battle with the Zhongzhou Wei rebels had not yet arrived, and before they arrived, the biggest rebellion since the founding of Yunqin had ended, and then a decree sent this local army all the way north to the Four Seasons Plain, the northernmost part of the empire.

Di Choufei was named General Pingbo and was in charge of Zhongzhou Wei... Xu Zhenyan, who was originally the second person in the Imperial Capital Branch, also served as the deputy head of the Criminal Division.

The priest's court was chosen another location, no longer set up in Zhongzhou City, and some priests in the army were also ordered to be transferred back, and the emperor's vaguely revealed intention was that the future Yunqin priests could only be like some Taoists in Yunqin's Taoist temples, preaching some of their own thoughts, but they could not participate in internal affairs, and they were completely separated from the army.

Some of Lin Xi's enemies began to have more powerful powers, and they began to do some things.

In their news, Lin Xi didn't seem to have done anything for a while, just calmly recuperating from his injuries, but neither Di Choufei nor Xu Zhenyan would believe that Lin Xi had done nothing.

In fact, Lin Xi had indeed taken advantage of the period of recuperation to think about some things carefully and think clearly about what he could do next. In all these days, he has been methodically doing things that are too big for his opponent to be terrible enough.

When Xu Zhenyan's carriage slowly drove back to Zhongzhou City from the outskirts of the city, Chen Feirong was replying to Lin Xi in a Dadexiang shop in Wenling, Qiantang Province.

She never doubted or opposed Lin Xi's decision, especially in some decisions in Dadexiang's business, she was 100% committed to Lin Xi's decision, but this time, she still needed to make a final decision, she felt that she needed to tell Lin Xi some specific details of Dadexiang.

She wrote back, only to give it to the soap-making workshop, which was not far behind the shop, and then just waited.

Qiantang Province is not far from Nanling Province, but after two days, she received Lin Xi's reaffirmative reply.

She no longer hesitated, and as the treasurer of Dadexiang, she informed Nanling, Nanlin, and Nanling, the three southernmost provinces of the empire, plus all the Dadexiang shops in the two provinces of Qiantang and Xiangshui, and began to implement this decision that made her tremble unprecedentedly.

......

......

A little girl sucking her fingers stood not far from the rice noodle shop of Da Dexiang's family.

She wasn't a beggar, she was neatly dressed, decent, with a pair of pigtails, very cute, and there was a house with flowers and plants at the door in this alley.

It's just that she's hungry right now.

She wants to cry now.

Half because I was hungry and wanted to cry, and half because I was ashamed.

She felt embarrassed to stand in front of the store and look at the rice noodles in the store.

She felt that she had tried not to go to the place where steamed buns were sold, but why couldn't she even move her steps when she saw such raw rice noodles, and wanted to run over and grab a handful and put it in her mouth?

The grandfather of this neat little girl, an old man who also wore a clean coarse cloth jacket, looked at the little girl's appearance, and he wanted to cry too.

The front heard that a great victory had been won, and it would be impossible for those reckless barbarians to fight for a while, so they returned to their locked homes.

It's just that the farmland has been abandoned for too long, and there is no harvest this autumn, and many businessmen here have left, and many businesses can't continue for a while, especially like many small families like his family who make a living by some crafts and small businesses, and are usually quite solid, after a long journey to escape, they are already destitute when they return home. Adults can barely hold on, hungry and thinking about what to do, and slowly get through. But how can a child who can't eat a full meal in the past few days?

Looking at his granddaughter who was sucking her fingers and her face was yellow, the old man who wanted to cry was ruthless in his heart, and he was determined to take away the only valuable thing in the family, the ancestral piece of old jade in the family, even if the family value was much higher than the actual value of the old jade, it was possible that he could only give his beloved granddaughter a few meals.

The bluestone pavements in the streets and alleys are very clean, and there are no beggars, but many people are hungrier than beggars, and the houses are empty, and many people go to the fields during the day to dig grass roots and catch some voles and so on.

As usual, when the Yunqin year was extremely poor and there were natural disasters year after year, if the relief food above could not come down, the people in all these streets and alleys would have to hold on in various ways.

A fast horse with the wind and dust that could not be washed away arrived at the door of this Dade Xiang rice shop.

When an old shopkeeper who came out of the rice shop took a piece of paperwork from the rider, he happened to look at the old man holding the girl, and looked at the ashamed look of the pair of granddaughters, and the old shopkeeper also wanted to cry.

He also wants to help these people, but his salary is limited after all, and it is impossible to help all the people in this street and alley, as for the rice noodles in the rice shop, it is Da Dexiang's, not his, and he can't go against his duty.

He thought that he would buy another white-flour steamed bun and stuff it secretly for the little girl, and then he opened the letterhead from the treasurer of Da Dexiang, whom he respected.

At least it is precisely because of the previous decisions and plans of the great treasurer that he respects that at least in such streets and alleys, there is still rice and noodles to sell... In the midst of such heavy thoughts, the moment he saw the words in the letterhead, the old shopkeeper's hands trembled uncontrollably, his breathing stopped completely, his forehead was a little cold, but his chest was indescribably hot.

"Our store!"

He quickly scanned the contents of the letterhead again, and to make sure that he was not mistaken, he almost choked up, and suddenly shouted two words out loud.

It's just that these two words, in the empty streets and alleys of this time and space, seem extraordinarily powerful and grand.

The little girl and the old man who wanted to cry in shame stood still, turned their heads in a daze, and looked at the old shopkeeper who straightened his chest and breathed rapidly as if he was about to have a stroke, and did not know what had happened.

The old shopkeeper seemed to be more encouraged, but his chest straightened up.

In this very cold late autumn, he sang like a opera, and announced: "Our store... From now on, the rice and noodles can be owed on credit!"
