Chapter Forty-Seven: Walk Slowly, Die Fast

High Moon Building.

At the beginning of this banquet, the atmosphere was quite lively, everyone was harmonious, and there was laughter.

But at this time, when King Chen's words turned to the aspect of silver and two, this banquet completely changed its nature.

After that, the atmosphere of the banquet was vaguely strange.

Especially for Zhuang Ming.

All kinds of complicated eyes were cast at him, there were those who were merciful, those who mocked, those who gloated, and those who were calm as usual.

And Zhuang Ming is here, although it is not like sitting on pins and needles, but it is also quite uncomfortable.

He looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him and took a sip, but he only felt tasteless.

It's just that the previous time, on the building boat, he left the table early, and this time, the prince is here, he can't leave the table early.

The etiquette and customs of the Dongsheng Dynasty have always been quite exquisite.

The elders are present, and the younger ones have to accompany them.

When the elders leave, the younger generations can leave.

And in this banquet, in terms of status, King Chen is the highest, and in terms of age, Lin Lao is the highest...... In addition to these two people, the rest of the people, including Zhuang Ming, if they leave the table early, it will be a great disrespect and rudeness.

——

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

In the midst of singing and dancing, the feast was dispersed.

Lin Lao said that he was not strong enough to drink, and after taking another sip of vegetarian bear paws, he retreated and left.

During this period, Zhuang Ming only drank three cups with him, all of which were resolved with true qi.

He thought that King Chen would continue to make trouble, for example, in terms of the amount of alcohol, which embarrassed him.

But King Chen also seemed to feel that he had cheated Zhuang Ming for 200,000 taels, so that everyone knew that he Zhuang Ming was still disliked by the prince, so he had achieved his goal, and he did not attack again.

After drinking, the atmosphere in the venue became warm again, and the strange feeling seemed to dissipate.

Staggered, laughter.

Until the end of the scene, among the people, there are still some sighs that do not know whether it is true or false, and some people have made an appointment with each other to drink a thousand cups next time, and they will not return if they are not drunk.

Zhuang Ming didn't pay much attention to it, in fact, not many people came to him to greet him during the drinking.

When he first entered Gaoyue Tower, many people came to talk to him politely, and some people even expressed their apologies for the actions of waiting and watching and even faintly falling into the well when the previous government seized the Zhuang firm.

But now that he has left Gao Yuelou, everyone knows that King Chen is still not kind to him, so not many people dare to risk offending King Chen anymore to befriend this Mr. Thirteen who will fall at any time.

Qianyang walked ahead, Yin Ming pushed Zhuang Ming, followed by the maid Frost Ling, and left Gaoyue Tower.

Many eyes looked here, but they took it back.

It seems that no one has noticed that Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Commercial Bank has left Gao Yuelou.

——

Zhuang Ming glanced back, shook his head with a smile, and laughed at himself.

"People are warm and cold, but in the blink of an eye. ”

"When I entered the Gaoyue Building, they thought that I was fighting with Chen Wang, so they were very enthusiastic about me in order to cooperate again in business. ”

"When I came out of the Gaoyue Tower, everyone knew that King Chen and I were still at odds, so as not to be hated by King Chen, and let my own family suffer damage, they treated me as nothing. ”

As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. ”

He patted the hem of his clothes and smiled, "Go back." ”

Frost Ling hesitated slightly, with a little worry in his eyes, and said, "Childe......"

At tonight's banquet, King Chen persecuted Gongzi, which not only embarrassed Gongzi, but also lost 200,000 taels.

Over the years, Childe has made no last resort and has never suffered such a loss.

Now that he has suffered such a big loss, coupled with Gao Yuelou, everyone who was originally enthusiastic has avoided it.

She was quite worried in her heart, vaguely afraid that her son would be depressed because of this.

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do you think that if Chen Wang is better than me today, I will lose my heart? Or do you think that the vision of these mediocre people can make my heart depressed? Don't look down on your son-in-law, if my mentality is so easy to collapse, it is difficult to become a great tool, how can I have today's achievements? How can I create my future achievements?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the frost spirit, nodded fiercely, and mumbled.

That's right, what kind of character is Childe?

How many storms have you seen?

From scratch, he started from scratch and became today's Zhuang's firm.

What if King Chen wins?

Sooner or later, Childe will get it back!

What if these people are alienated from Childe?

In the eyes of the child, they are just metrics.

"Gone. ”

Zhuang Ming said.

But before the words fell, he raised his eyebrows.

Yin Ming stopped.

Qianyang turned around and faced that way.

Frost Spirit didn't know why, but Zhuang Ming grabbed his hand.

"It's okay. ”

Zhuang Ming laughed.

Frost Ling only felt that Gongzi's palm was softer than his own, but it was very warm, and his heart was slightly happy, and his face couldn't help but show a little ruddy color.

Zhuang Ming looked at the man in the shadows.

I saw the man walking out slowly, dressed in black clothes, with a straight figure, and said indifferently: "Under the command of King Chen, I have seen Mr. Thirteen." ”

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Are you here to get 200,000 taels?" Although the Zhuang family firm is huge, such a huge amount of money cannot be raised in a day or two, and it must wait for a while before handing it over to the government......

The man in black chuckled, his gaze swept over Qianyang and Yin Ming, a little jealous, but finally fell on Zhuang Ming.

"Mr. Thirteen, don't misunderstand, the prince has always been considerate, didn't he let you stop the impulse in your heart today? ”

"Huh. Zhuang Ming laughed and said, "You are an interesting person, what you say with your eyes open, you look like a blind man, it really makes people want to slash you." ”

"Mr. Thirteen, don't be impulsive, the villain is under the command of the prince, you have killed a batch, which has made the prince extremely angry, and killing another one will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. The man in black shook his head with a smile and said: "The prince is not a very calm person, otherwise he would not be in trouble today, if you really kill me, he will be desperate to level your Zhuang firm first, as for the consequences, I have to talk about it later......"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's just say it, what are you here to say for King Chen?"

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "I'm too lazy to be angry with you, King Chen's weight is naturally high, and the dogs under his door are not qualified to bark in front of me Zhuang Ming." ”

The man in black had a slightly gloomy face, and said coldly, "You think very highly of yourself. ”

Zhuang Ming said slowly: "I never look down on myself. ”

In fact, if it is common sense in the past, no matter how arrogant the other party is, he will not offend too much.

After all, this person is under the command of King Chen, and the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door must also be given some respect.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, not to mention the likes of folk businessmen, even many officials in the court may have put down their bodies and laughed at when they saw this person.

But now, Zhuang Ming and King Chen have almost torn their faces, how can they still take care of a warrior under King Chen?

"What the prince means is that 200,000 taels is not too little. ”

The man in black said slowly: "The so-called tree is a big wind, if this silver tael goes out through your Zhuang firm, you know what kind of turmoil and even disaster it will cause......

Zhuang Ming said calmly: "What does the prince mean?"

The man in black said: "What the prince means is that he secretly donated seventy percent for you, and the remaining thirty percent, and then donated in the name of the Zhuang firm, so as not to make your Zhuang firm a leader and cause unnecessary disasters, but the prince is thinking about you." ”

Zhuang Ming sneered: "Isn't he going to eat this seventy percent silver tael......?"

The man in black said leisurely: "You have promised the prince that from now on, all the benefits of the Zhuang family will be divided equally...... These seventy percent of silver taels are only more than ten thousand taels, far less than half. ”

Zhuang Ming glanced at him deeply, and then said slowly: "The words have been brought, get out of ......."

The man in black had a mocking look on his face and was about to speak.

Bang!

Qianyang looked indifferent and slowly raised his feet.

And beneath his feet, countless cracks had burst out of the stone strips on the street.

"Get out!"

"What a thirteenth gentleman, I really don't take the prince seriously. ”

The man in black suddenly flicked his sleeves and retreated, disappearing into the darkness.

Zhuang Ming's eyes were cold.

Yin Ming suddenly moved, stretched out his hand and waved.

The stones on the ground were suddenly swept up by his strong wind, like sharp arrows, into the darkness.

Poof!

Suddenly there was a scream.

"Zhuang Ming!

"Cut off your arm, and use it as a lesson. ”

Zhuang Ming said indifferently: "King Chen only dares to let me break the fortune, he doesn't dare to kill me in trouble, and he won't turn his face with me because of your dog's leg." ”

A roar in the darkness.

Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly and sighed softly.

Frost Spirit hesitated, "Childe?"

Her heart was uneasy.

This is the first time that Childe has shown such a look in front of her.

"When this man goes back, he will add oil and vinegar, and anyway, he will cut off his arm and vent my displeasure. On the contrary, King Chen will feel that this person's arrogance has angered me, and his words may not be credible. It's just that the matter has come to this point, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, King Chen will kill me, and I will move him. ”

Zhuang Ming opened his eyes, looked up at the moon in the sky, reached into his sleeve, stroked the young dragon, his tone was slightly lower, and he said to himself: "My strength is not enough to overwhelm the world, and the trick is just a trick after all. ”

He sighed abruptly, sighed with emotion, and then said in a low voice: "The matter is going to speed up the process, before raising 200,000 taels, we must destroy King Chen." ”

He looked up and then to the west.

All kinds of things and things of the Dongsheng Dynasty, all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, what can be obtained, he has already obtained.

But it's not enough.

"After destroying King Chen and stabilizing the foundation, we must deal with the affairs overseas, Fu Lao and Yue Ting as soon as possible. ”

——

In the high moon building.

Corners.

The scholar looked up at the stars.

He immediately lowered his head and looked at the bronze mirror in his arms.

"It's a strange thing, King Chen is like the sky, and he actually has a bit of a disaster star covering his head. ”

"Especially just now, he forced that Mr. Thirteen to donate 200,000 taels, and in an instant, his fortune plummeted, and the interval between the disaster star and his life star was actually shortened by half. ”

"Could it be that King Chen forced the donation, secretly greedy for ink, and will be destroyed by the imperial court?"

"But it's not right......

The scholar's brows furrowed, and he suddenly thought of the young man with disabled legs, and showed a look of surprise.

And at this moment, a voice came from the bronze mirror.

"This thirteenth gentleman, it is clear that his fortune has been suppressed, but his bearing is still more precious than that of King Chen, and he has a general trend, which is unfathomable, covering his life, and his attainments are as profound as this seat, and he can't see through him. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"King Chen's catastrophe must have originated from this person. ”

"He's just a businessman on earth. ”

He is by no means simple, not only because this seat can't see through his fortune, but also because, from beginning to end, he has no fear in the face of the king with a different surname who is in charge of Huai'an's power. ”

"Oh?" the scholar vaguely thought of something, and groaned slightly.

"He made a killing move, King Chen's fortune plummeted, and it was expected that within three days, King Chen was afraid of a catastrophe. ”

"Didn't you say that you gathered the blessed land of the Holy Mountain and killed all the cultivators in this realm?

"What are you doing with so much, don't pay much attention to it anyway, you refine your true qi as soon as possible, leave the Dongsheng Dynasty, and leave this blessed land of the Holy Mountain. ”

"Why be in such a hurry?"

"Do you know how this seat died?"

"How did you die?"

"I died because I walked slowly. ”

“......”
