Chapter 21 Charcoal
"Chen Jinqiu is in trouble now, he wants to buy grain on credit, and the grain is bought for the soldiers of the Red Pass, that is, for the young lady." Motoyoshi got up and approached her, "That's what you want to ask, isn't it?"
Jiang Guo fiddled with the porridge in the bowl and said, "I'm just curious."
"If you're curious, I'll tell you." Motoyoshi sat behind her, "I won't hide it from you."
Jiang Guo felt a little cold on her shoulders, she didn't dare to look back, and said, "You—"
The exclamation blurted out, and Yuan Ji's hands suddenly held Jiang Guodi's shoulders and pulled the person into his arms, and Jiang Guo suddenly fell into his arms.
"Say the same." Yuanji hugged her and sniffed the fragrance in her hair, "It's a true gentleman."
Jiang Guo raised his head, looked at Yuan Ji's upside-down face, and muttered, "Are you a true gentleman?"
"I'm not." Yuanji's thumb gently scraped Jiang Guo's soft earlobe, and he leaned close to her ear, "I'm human, yours."
Jiang Guo's cheeks flushed, she bit her lip forcefully, and said recklessly, "You've been speaking coldly to me since you woke up, um—"
Motoyoshi bit her earlobe, exhaling hot air with a moist warmth in his ears, and he seemed to smile and said, "You blame me."
The lip bit a little heavier, Jiang Guo's eyes were wavering, and he whispered, "You move your hands and feet in broad daylight, and today you seem to be a different person."
"I am a human being when I am full of desire, I have changed, and now I am full of desire." Yuan Jimo rubbed her thin waist, "Besides, drinking alone is too boring, you can taste it with me."
Jiang Guo looked at the wine jug on the low table and said, "The wine is there."
Yuan Ji held her face and turned his gaze back to his own, the tip of his nose sliding down Jiang Guo's nose, his lips close to her red lips. It just stopped in an instant, staying in the gap of the micro end and not approaching.
"Here." Yuan Ji's words carried the smell of wine that made Jiang Guo slightly drunk, "The wine is here."
The strength of the kneading made the heat rise like a dark tide, Jiang Guo reached out to stop his hand, and exclaimed urgently, "No, uh-"
The kiss came quietly.
The lips flap intersected, soft, moist and hot, and the more he kissed, the heavier it became.
The wind whispered, the veil fluttered above the two, the sun shone on the eaves, and the two in the shadows rediscovered their original dreamers in the lingering.
Zhen Kexiao, who was outside the door, listened to the faint gasps and intermittent moans, and looked at the street under the hook fence with a calm face.
The red sleeves between her elbows fluttered in the wind, and her eyes looked at the flow of people, and she saw that the thug who usually followed Yuanji was leading a man in a dark blue suit towards the Smoke Cloud Pavilion.
The man seemed to notice her gaze, and looked up as he walked.
The two looked at each other.
Zhen Kexiao smiled slightly.
Liu Taijing also smiled.
CHAPTER XVII
"You're doing the right thing."
Liu Taijing's sitting posture was as upright as ever, and there was a wine jug on the low table in the private room, and Yuan Ji sat opposite him.
His clothes are open with slender and beautiful pectoral muscles, and the meaning of the swagger is something that Liu Taijing has never seen.
"I'll help you, and you'll have to help me." Motoyoshi bent his knees and braced his arms on his knees, "You just need to send the things into the big warehouse, and then exchange the gold inside and give it to me. Neither you nor I will lose this deal."
Liu Taijing looked at Yuan Ji squarely, he was thinking about what the word "demonization" meant, and seeing Yuan Ji's changes at this moment, he understood a lot.
Because at this moment, Yuanji's approach has no scruples, and it is even more weird.
"It's not a loss, but I think it's a little strange." Liu Taijing folded his hands on his knees, "When did you become so insidious? It's not like yours."
Motoyoshi held the flask and poured the wine, and the slanted wine rattled, and he looked at it and said, "People will always change, and so will I."
"Okay." Liu Taijing nodded, and continued to ask, "So what do you want that gold for?" I've heard that you did a great job in rescuing the Chongdu Rebellion. Your Majesty personally summoned you,
You don't want the reward you have given, but now you want to swallow the gold."
"I have already accepted Gao Cheng's invitation to take over the position of deputy leader of the Julong Gang. The gangs are now more numerous, and they have to eat when they open their mouths. I'm going to build a building and do some business." Yuan Ji poured a full wine bottle, then pinched the bottle and sniffed it slightly on the tip of his nose, "Besides, if I accept the emperor's reward, the act of combining the two will make the Jianghu people see my personality clearly. You also know that the Jianghu guests are the swallows in front of the hall, flying over the homes of ordinary people, and there are no swallows under the eaves of the emperor, only tigers and wolves."
"That's the only reason?" The corners of Liu Taijing's mouth drew a playful smile, "I think you don't want to take it, and you don't want to take it."
Yuan Ji had just finished drinking the wine in the bottle, and he raised his eyes to look at Liu Taijing, his expression was complex and intriguing.
He put the wine bottle down, put his hands straight behind his back, and said indifferently, "I told you why."
Liu Taijing immediately got up, and he said simply, "That's it, I'll arrange it now."
Yuan Ji raised his hand and said, "When the time comes, you only have two hours, and you will not wait for the time to expire. Please."
Liu Taijing didn't stop, got up and walked out of the private room.
Yuan Ji got up and entered the inner room, on the soft deerskin carpet, Jiang Guo was lying on his stomach in the light veil, his graceful ketone body was half covered by the veil, showing a delicate and plump arc.
In her sight, Yuanji's bare feet stepped on the carpet silently, the corners of her clothes fluttered lightly, and she looked at the feet that stayed in her sight.
With her chin resting on her elbow, she murmured, "You're going out?"
Yuan Ji took his robe and put it on his body, and said lightly, "There is something serious."
His chin slid a little to cover his lips, and Jiang Guo's voice was a little hoarse: "Will you come back at night?"
Boom.
The carpet shook slightly, and Yuan Ji suddenly lay down on his side, looked into Jiang Guo's eyes and said, "Maybe."
"Maybe come back." Jiang Guo's tone was sluggish, "Maybe not coming back."
Yuan Ji looked at her face, looked at her slightly reddened eyes, and nodded silently.
"Go ahead." Jiang Guo turned his head away from him, "I'm tired."
The rustling of footsteps accompanied by the sound of the door of the inner room closing, the orange sunset afterglow was slowly obscured by the door, and the shadow slowly enveloped Jiang Guo, and the unspeakable worries and uneasiness were all hidden in the darkness.
Liu Taijing returned to Taifu and quickly entered the forging workshop.
"Yo, it's back." Wu Linghao was naked, sweat on his dark muscles, "I haven't seen you for a long time, like every other three autumns. What do you think? What's the situation over there?" z.br>
"How dare they complain about the old skin for the new skin?" Liu Taijing smiled indifferently, "Senior brother's craftsmanship is worthy of a master's work, and the signatures and drawings are all clearly explained."
"It's good to be neat." Wu Linghao held the hammer and knocked on the bright red embryo, "When you come back this time, you will be promoted to your official position."
Liu Taijing took an arrow from the weapon rack and looked at it, he scraped the snow-white tail feathers, and said, "That's not possible, if I want to be promoted, I will have to take the position of senior brother."
"Relax, don't stand up to me." Wu Linghao soaked the embryo in oil, and said in the rising white air, "Shangshutai has promoted many officials, and the original manpower has to be transferred from various prefectures and departments. Your brief description is in line with the wishes of the head, so I was transferred to be a subordinate officer of Lantai."
"Lantai Officer?" Liu Taijing frowned, he put aside the arrow cluster and turned to Wu Linghao, "Rank a thousand stones, lead the Lantai in the hall, hold the book cheats, accept the minister's affairs, and correct the lawlessness. How could I have risen to such a high position with so little merit?"
"Most of the subordinate officials in Shangshutai have now changed a lot of people from the four factions, and our own senior brothers have given them a good official position." Wu Linghao put down the hammer and wiped his sweat, "What? Not happy?"
"How could you not be happy." Liu Taijing smiled, "I'm glad to do it."
"I'll go to the house tomorrow to hand over the business." Wu Linghao sighed, "Do it well."
Liu Taijing noticed the harshness in Wu Linghao's words, and he asked, "Senior brother, do you have any troubles?"
"So you can see it. Oh, I'm just a man who has everything written on his face, so that people can see it at a glance." Wu Linghao called for a long time
sighed, "I'm going to resign from my official position and go to the Ten Thousand Swords Gate in a few days."
Liu Taijing asked suspiciously, "Why?"
"The children of the Beitang clan are invited, I'm afraid I will have to stay here for several years." Wu Linghao smiled heartily at him, "I want to get a glimpse of the subtlety of the spirit casting more than my official position."
Liu Taijing shook his head and said, "I see."
There are many branches in Kaiyuan Valley, and the Hundred Soldiers Hall of Casting is very good at building forging skills. But when it comes to casting skills, it should be the sword pool of Wanjianmen, which is the holy land of sword casting, and the talented people who can be invited are all selected talents.
Therefore, a casting idiot like Wu Linghao will definitely not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Wu Linghao scooped a scoop of water from the wooden barrel, and after drinking it, he took a breath and said, "If you are fast, you will be tomorrow, and if you are slow, you will be three or five days."
"That mirror is here to congratulate Senior Brother." Liu Taijing looked around and saw that the craftsmen were busy working, so he asked, "Senior brother, are there any newly made crossbows recently?"
"Yes." Wu Linghao was elated when he talked about weapons, he led Liu Taijing to the workshop and pointed to the military crossbow on the shelf, "This is newly made, the total amount is two thousand, and it is rationed to the new army in the west of the city, just waiting for the King of Qin to bring someone to take it away."
Liu Taijing picked up the crossbow and looked at it, then pushed the buckle and asked, "When will King Qin come?"
"Then I don't know." Wu Linghao accurately threw the water scoop into the wooden barrel, "I'm just an examination order, and I'm just in charge of building. When will he, King Qin, come and take care of my?"
Liu Taijing nodded and laughed twice, then restrained his smile and said, "Then, I need to borrow these two thousand crossbows and return them in a few days."
"Just use it." Wu Linghao waved his hand happily and said with a lot of money, "I'm leaving anyway, and it's okay if you don't pay it back."
Liu Taijing burst out laughing, and he laughed for a moment before he said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely come back." You can't tell my brother to resign and lose his reputation."
Wu Linghao didn't care, and said, "It's nothing. It's just that what are you doing with a crossbow? Don't do anything bad about the rules."
Liu Taijing stroked the crossbow and said in the cold touch.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a loan to a friend."
After the Chongdu Rebellion, the power of the Fourth Street of the Outer Nine Cities suddenly changed, the Money Gang was slaughtered by the White Horse Gang, the leader of the Fire Bull Gang disappeared, and the gang was scattered. The White Horse Gang was destroyed by the King of Qin, and the Dragon Gang alone made a profit from it, and took all the four streets under its command, and jumped to the head of the outer nine cities.
