Chapter 147
The hustle and bustle of the teahouse turned into a dead silence in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything, but the old man's words were clearly branded into his mind.
"Am I clear enough? You don't want to play tricks on the mission. When I say all-kill, it's all-killing. β
Why? Knowing that there is no right to question, he is still shouting in his heart. A pharmacy that has nothing to do with the 'Four Spirits', a group of innocent ordinary people, was inexplicably selected as his target?
"What, are you holding grievances for them? As I said, the most taboo thing to do is to be merciful, and the weaker you are in this area, the more we will pick on this point, and we must let go of our conscience before we can turn into a rakshasa. β
But he was a man, a man with a remnant of conscience.
"As long as you can completely get rid of your senseless conscience and give up compassion, you will be known as the hostile hand of the 'Four Spirits'. The boss has also ordered that as long as you succeed in reaching the place, you will immediately hand over the position of the Western 'White Tiger' to you and become the 'Four Spirits', isn't this the greatest expectation that the county prince has for you? β
I'm so disappointed, Qingyuan, why aren't you the 'Four Spirits'?
The fierceness and regret of his father's pinch on his shoulder stabbed deep in his shoulder bones.
"If you have a conscience, you can become a human being. The power, status, wealth, and fame of the world can easily fall into your hands. If you want to be admired, you can be admired, and if you want to gain fame and fortune, you can gain fame and fortune. As long as you give up your ego, everything in the world will have what you want. β
The old man's eyes sharpened, staring at Mu Ran in Qingyuan.
"Even your bloodline can be changed, so that you can become a pure and sophisticated Manchurian child, and you can change back to a male body after gaining power. If you are interested in the 'Four Spirits', you can even make you a knight. Replace your brothers as the successor of the county princes. β
Just abandon your conscience and abandon your ego.
"If you want to be compassionate, that's fine, but just be upright, you have to pay a great price. Not to mention what kind of punishment you will continue to receive, your father's alone is enough for you. I've already seen the novice that the prince is going to use to replace you. β
Qingyuan clenched his fists, is it the fifth brother?
"It's a little naΓ―ve, but it doesn't matter, you will be sensible if you hone and hone it. But you, I'm afraid, don't have to stay any longer. β
Amma wants to take him away?
"The county lord is notoriously perfect, and naturally he can't tolerate your repeated small flaws. Useless things, even if they are his own flesh and blood, he can still give them up. Do you see? This is the kind of person who can become a great person. β
The noise from the other table brought back Qingyuan's consciousness.
"Yan'er."
"What's wrong?"
"I'll go over and take a look, I'm afraid she'll cause trouble again."
She didn't. She obediently watched the excitement in the corner through the low-hanging brim pestle, but it was Qingyuan's bright exit from the old man's nightmare.
"Qingyuan." She turned her gaze and rushed eagerly into his arms.
The small body, the warm body temperature, the tight hug, her smile, her dependence, made him turn back into a person, only in an instant, he almost wavered, and even his bones turned into rakshasas.
"They're chasing the storyteller." She explained to him the chaotic scene of screaming and yelling. "The storyteller didn't know what story he was talking about, and he was so happy to tell it, because the one who listened to the story, if he heard the last story almost enough, he started to pick people up, saying that the story was not good, and asked him to get out, so he became like this." She pointed to the center of the crowd.
"Guest, you can't be like this, you don't pay after listening to the story, wouldn't it be a miserable loss for such a small one."
"Oops, it's noisy. Little two! What's going on in your shop, do we want to drink tea quietly? The guest at the table listening to the story shouted arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Er laughed, and immediately turned his face and kicked the thin storyteller who was crawling. "Get out, get out, the young pestle is here to hinder others from doing business, and go elsewhere to play tricks!"
"But I told the story---
"So what, what is there to shout about a business that doesn't cost money?" The other party of the little two beat yelled, and escaped from the gate like a wild dog. "Go, I didn't ask you to pay money to compensate for the purity of our ears, it's polite enough, and you still want to rub Lao Tzu oil?"
The room burst into laughter, and continued to drink tea and chat, as if it was fine.
"It's so strange, Qingyuan. Why do I think it's wrong to be in this room? β
He looked at the embarrassed back of the street in distraction, as if he saw himself.
"People serve them so hard, but they turn back when they finish enjoying it. It's just that if you don't pay, they obviously listened to it very intriguedly just now, why didn't they even give a round of applause, and they still think that other people's stories are rotten? β
"Maybe he really sucks."
"That's a little bit of pay, how can you just throw people away when you're done using them, it's so unconscionable!"
"In the world, conscience is worthless." He couldn't whisper.
"What's the matter if it's worthless, just because it's worthless doesn't mean it's not important." She croaked angrily. "Water is not valuable, and gas is not valuable, but who can live without water and gas? It's no wonder if you don't die! β
His eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked down at her, and a thought of laughter welled up in his chest.
"The little girl is very knowledgeable."
Turning his head sharply, the old man floated silently behind them like a ghost, chuckling kindly.
"Why didn't you tell me frankly that she was a newbie who had been dropped?"
Qingyuan protected Yanran behind him: "You already knew, why should I say more?" β
"Young man, the more you deliberately hide something, the more interesting it is." His hideousness turned to kindness when he smiled.
"What's the girl's name?"
"Yanran."
"Okay, okay." He nodded in satisfaction. That look was as evil as when he took out the name of Shangdetang from Qingyuan's mouth.
Perhaps, he has to find another place for Yanran as soon as possible, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Yanran.
But Qingyuan didn't expect the crisis to come so quickly.
"This Ling Ling will take over Qingyuan's position, the new general of the 'Four Spirits' trained by me."
When the prince of the county announced this matter in the study, Qingyuan's shock was stronger than that of the fifth brother, and even Yanran on the side could feel it.
Ling Ling, about eighteen or nine years old, with a bewitching and graceful figure, and her charming eyes were full of anger, and she understood the relationship between them by looking at the dark energy of her fingers intertwined and kneaded by the prince of the county. What really shocked Qingyuan was not these, but her face---
A face that is almost exactly the same as his!
"I'm bored with your food, and I don't need to keep a waste in the house. If you have successfully completed your mission this time. I'll let you stay, otherwise, Ling Ling will replace you and be the six grids in the house. The prince's eyes were cold.
"Everyone knows that the six grids in this mansion are Qingyuan, how can she replace them!"
"Yan'er." Qingyuan stopped in a low voice.
"Then from now on, Ling Ling will change her name to Yi Ling, and be a real woman, a real character."
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Ling Ling's body immediately rubbed his arm.
"Oh, I'm going to change my name to Amma in the future."
"Amma? Ling Ling smiled vulgarly, and whispered next to the prince, arousing the prince's lewd smile. β
"Amma, why don't you choose me to succeed Qingyuan? Why don't you train me, let me become the general of the 'Four Spirits', let me go on a mission, and let me make meritorious contributions? Am I so inferior to Qingyuan? Qingjue finally couldn't hold back his anger.
"Silly boy, you and your brothers are Amma's greatest expectations, how can I let your hands be stained with those filthy things?"
"What about Qingyuan? Isn't he also your son? "Why can't Qingyuan be able to him?
"Is there one? I remember that I only had five sons. He chuckled.
"Amma?" Qingjue was slightly stunned, how could his father, who was usually strict, make a joke at this time?
"There is no need for two Qingyuan in this mansion, whether you want to stay or leave depends on the outcome of your mission." Wang Ye said.
Qingyuan was lonely and isolated, and his face was pale without a trace of emotion.
"Qingjue, settle Ling Ling's residence for me first. Take her to see how the environment is in the small cross courtyard, and if she is not satisfied, come back and tell me. By the way, this little guy also took it away, and it was annoying to see it. "I always think that the novice was secretly dropped by the big oolong.
Knowing that the prince had the intention to leave, Qingjue had to follow. Unbeknownst to them, the group had walked some distance away from the study, and still heard the crackling slap and the loud pouring sound.
"Qingyuan!"
"Yan'er, don't go!" Qingjue hurriedly grabbed her.
"Let go, why can't I go! He's fighting Qingyuan! β
"Hit it, he deserves to be beaten! He didn't do his job well, and he messed up the marriage contract with Joan of Arc, and his subordinates rebelled in the nest, and he escaped safely, and he was vague about the handling of the matter you were dropped, and fabricated a bad excuse to bully you, and he deserved to be punished! β
"What kind of attitude do you have, Qingyuan is your own brother!"
"What brother, when did he treat me like a brother? I've had enough! Qingjue scolded: "Why are you only willing to follow him, not with me, am I really so inferior to him?" For your sake, I even desperately begged Amma for a chance to enter the 'Four Spirits', but what did I get? You were taken away by Qingyuan, and the opportunity I hoped for was taken away by another Qingyuan, what am I? β
