A covenant for the future

"After drinking, then this is for you to eat, it can be regarded as a reward. Jin Li took out a small black box from his sleeve, the length, width and height were about the length of the two joints of Shangguan Yi's index finger, a very compact thing, and handed it to Shangguan Yi.

"What is this? Can you open it and take a look?" Shangguan Yi took it a little suspiciously, looking at this box as if it was a bit famous, so he didn't rush to open it, and asked first.

"Yes, you can, but you have to use it after opening it, it will gradually lose its effect within three days, and once the three days are over, it can only be a filling stomach and hunger. Jinli's answer made Shangguan Yi a little confused, but Bai Wei next to him seemed to remember something, his expression changed slightly, and he quietly stayed away from Shangguan Yi and Jinli.

"It's not easy to be so demanding, isn't it? Shangguan Yi was curious, not only the contents but also this box, how did it seal and preserve this kind of thing?

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a good medicine to repair your body for the situation you had last night, if you eat it as soon as you open it, you will quickly recover to the state before the war, and it will be a long time...... What Changfeng just got, I heard that it was something from the East China Sea, rare and tight, Changfeng is my right-hand man, and I will introduce you to you one day. Jin Li shook his head and didn't explain much to him, just talked about the medicinal effect and a little bit of the origin, but what made Shangguan Yi pay more attention was the pause in his words.

"I ...... last night Uh, I think it's just that the consumption is too great, and it's overdrawn to the body, so you shouldn't use such a precious medicine, right?, or you take it back and leave it for Fu Chang'an?" Shangguan Yi scratched his head, he felt that although Jinli was acting lightly, it seemed that something very precious was just an ordinary thing to him, but Shangguan Yi knew that the more Jinli behaved like this, the more difficult it might be for this thing to come from.

Hearing Shangguan Yi say this, the other people in the room looked at him with very strange eyes, as if they felt that he was lying to others as fools.

"Your yesterday, it's not just like that, maybe you don't understand, it's an early awakening God's gift, this is the best recognition of your talent but also a big trouble, so you need it, take it. Jin Li approached Shangguan Yi's ear, almost biting the tip of his ear, and whispered, with three points of ridicule, ridiculing Shangguan Yi Although he seemed to know a lot of things, he didn't even know about it.

Shangguan Yi snorted, shuddered, and moved away from Jinli's lips, Bai Yi also moved a little farther away from them, and made sure that Shangguan Yi was no longer a threat to his wife's career.

Although Jinli's posture of speaking was a little ambiguous, what she meant was conveyed to Shangguan Yi: Your injury is not as simple as you think, so don't think that you can get better like before, drink medicine obediently, and this thing I gave you in person is not medicine, but one of your hole cards, whether you use it or not, when you use it, it's up to you, the key to me is that you have to have this card, so you just keep it.

"Your style of acting is quite hers-like. Shangguan Yi sighed, it seemed to have a deep meaning and it didn't.

"Maybe it's close to Zhu Zhechi. Jinli didn't explain, as if he had a feeling.

"Well, thank you. Shangguan Yi temporarily placed the box at the head of the bed, indicating that he accepted the gift with a smile.

"Then I won't be a person today, and I still have something to do, so I came to see you when I passed by. Jinli stood up, said hello to Shangguan Yi and left, his hurried back as if he really had something to do.

"Then you two talk, I'll go to dinner. Bai Yi left Shangguan Yi to Mo Qianchen to take care of, and went to the kitchen to take his own food to the guest room to eat, the door was locked tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would break in.

Bai Ying didn't seem to like others to see his face, so he kept it hidden, and when he ate and drank tea, it was only done when no one was around.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Shangguan Yi pointed to the box, although he knew the effect, he still wanted to know the origin of this thing.

"I don't know, but I see that Mr. Bai who just went out seems to know something, maybe you can probe his tone. Mo Qianchen shook his head, this may be the secret of the rivers and lakes, he doesn't know much.

"That's it, then what are you looking for me? You're still carrying things, could it be that you want me to hand over the position of Da Catch to you?" Shangguan Yi joked, in fact, the two of them didn't care about this difference in official positions.

"Hey, isn't this what the county magistrate meant? He originally thought that you might be cold, since you are so self-aware to recuperate at home, then keep it, and when this matter passes, after you are sure that you are okay, if you want to come back and continue to do it, if you don't want to, I will send you some silver. Mo Qianchen didn't say good things about him as the county order ordered, because although Mo Qianchen was originally a bureaucrat, he was not on Mao Mao's side, but was more inclined to Shangguan Yi's side, and he didn't look down on Mao Mao's style.

For his own purposes, Mo Qianchen said that he didn't want to win over Shangguan Yi, which was fake and hypocritical, but if he co-opted, he had no capital, so he couldn't draw a big pie for Shangguan Yi, right? Shangguan Yi was not stupid, it was impossible to sell himself like this. So Mo Qianchen can only try to brush his favorability to see if he can win the favor of Guan Yi.

"And now, why did he change his mind?" Shangguan Yi also expected this to be the case, so he was not curious or angry about Mao Mao's attitude, but was concerned about why he changed his mind.

"You must have seen the three subordinates who came to you a few days ago, right? The answer is them, they went to wait for you at the gate of the yamen at first, but they didn't wait, but they scared the county magistrate a lot, and hurriedly asked me to get the money and come to visit you, relieve the resentment in your heart, and don't blame him. When Mo Qianchen said this, he shrugged his shoulders and seemed to be helpless, feeling quite embarrassed to have such an adult.

"And this one? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Shangguan Yi understood the twists and turns, but he didn't expect Fu Changan to give them support for this official position on his whim.

Some things are done for others to see, such as letting his subordinates wait for Shangguan Yi at the gate of the yamen, which is done for the county magistrate to see, and Mao Mao also got this point, and he consciously did what he should do, and put out the attitude he should have.

"So you, no one can snatch it, and this time you have made a great contribution, and the county commander plans to ask the town guard for merit on your behalf and ask for some reward. Mo Qianchen made a plausible joke, revealing a little Mao Mao's intentions.

"Actually, it's not necessary, serve the people, there's no chaos in the city, right?" Shangguan Yi shook his head, he didn't do this for the reward of Mao Mao or the town guard, just to have peace of mind. However, when he was calm, he remembered that the guy from the Blood Demon Sect had threatened him to detonate the Blood Demon Puppet and spread the Blood Demon Sutra before, although he didn't know if it was true, but he still asked Mo Qianchen.

"Mess...... This matter of the Blood Demon Sect has come to an end, with the fall of the heirs of the Blood Demon Sect, the surviving Blood Demon puppets seem to have regained their will, and I haven't seen anything big about this matter on patrol today, but it's just a matter of leaving the capital, you know, it's impossible to calm down, it seems that there is some bizarre case, but this time you don't have to worry too much, just take care of your injuries and leave it to us. Mo Qianchen answered Shangguan Yi's question with some emotion.

"Yes, anyway, pay attention to protecting the yamen, pay attention to the safety of Zhongcheng District, and don't delay leaving the capital. Shangguan Yi nodded and closed his eyes a little tiredly. Mo Qianchen is right, in this world, all kinds of things are happening all the time, even in a peaceful and prosperous world, injustices will happen, not to mention the current troubled times, although Lidu is very small compared to this world, it is also a big capital, and now it is a stormy meeting, they can't manage so much, and they can't prevent the occurrence of criminal cases, so they can only handle cases casually.

"Actually, I think you're kind of like a friend of mine, a friend who used to fight side by side. Mo Qianchen suddenly spoke, testing Shang Guanyi's reaction.

He felt that Shangguan Yi was a little like Du Yao, and Du Yao made an appointment with him to meet Du Dabi, and now Lidu Dabi was in front of him, and he had been here for a while, but he had never heard of Du Yao's person, he had to suspect that Du Yao was disguised into something else, plus Shangguan Yi was indeed a little similar to Du Yao's style of doing things, and he was also favored by Fu Changan, and Sophie seemed to admit that he was a friend before......

"Oh, there are more similar people in this world, Brother Mo, do you admit that you are wrong?" Shangguan Yi does not recognize Mo Qianchen, it is better not to give birth to this branch, at least it is not good for Mo Qianchen to get too close to Mo Qianchen now.

"Probably, you're right. Mo Qianchen didn't show any disappointed expression, but changed his words and tried to do another thing: "You should also want to participate in the Lidu Dabi, right?

"Hmm. Shangguan Yi nodded.

"This year, I think you should know about it, right?" Mo Qianchen continued to ask.

"Hmm. Shangguan Yi's expression moved slightly, could it be that Mo Qianchen was looking for an ally?

"Which path are you going to take? With your talent, you have the right to choose. Mo Qianchen stared at Shangguan Yi closely, he was indeed here to find an ally, and he was looking for an ally who could be entrusted with life and death, because once what he wanted to do was exposed or failed, he would have to be beheaded.

"The right to choose? I don't have that kind of thing, Zhao Tianyuan, do you know? I'm the opponent of him, he looks at me very unhappy now, so this time I don't plan to show my real strength at all, anyway, the result is the same, just fight casually." Shangguan Yi shook his head, with a hint of self-deprecation on his face.

Mo Qianchen thoughtfully recited the sentence "Zhao family", then smiled and said: "I see you, you didn't want to take that road to throw the pot to Zhao Tianyuan in the first place, right? After all, this battlefield is full of dangers, but it is indeed the fastest way to be promoted." ”

"I don't have so much time to spend on intrigue. Shangguan Yi did not deny Mo Qianchen's statement, he was figuring out Mo Qianchen's origin.

"How about we make an agreement?" Mo Qianchen thought for a while, seemed to have figured out how to convince Shangguan Yi, and then spoke.

"What agreement?" Shangguan Yi's eyelids jumped, and he felt that what Mo Qianchen said was likely to shock him.

"I'm doing a big thing, which seems ridiculous to many people, a big thing to be punished, but it is really necessary to do it, although it is not impossible to rely on myself, but I feel that I need your help. I also know that you're doing something big, and again, it's going to be bad if you expose it, so you don't trust me very much.

Therefore, let's make a pact, if we all go to war through Lidu Dabi, when we carry out the first dangerous mission that we think is very likely that we will not return, tell each other our purpose, and if we come back safely and our purpose is not conflicting, it means that God will do so, and we will form an alliance to help each other and accomplish our goals together.

Although I may be weaker than you, I have some connections in the army, and there are many people who go with me as my subordinates, so I won't let you down. If it is done, it will not be done to you. Mo Qianchen said this very seriously, very seriously, and he didn't look like he was joking, as if he was swearing.

"If you want to say it, it's only fair that two people say it together and exchange the biggest secrets. Shangguan Yi pointed out the first thing he thought was inappropriate.

"Good. Mo Qianchen has no objection, he believes that Shangguan Yi is a tight-mouthed person and a trustworthy person, even if he tells Shangguan Yi now, it doesn't matter, but he is afraid that Shangguan Yi will not trust him.

"What if our purposes are opposite?" Shangguan Yi continued to the second.

"The battlefield is cruel, and there are countless people who have died because of the framing of their compatriots, as long as they kill each other on the battlefield without leaking secrets, there is no need to be too troublesome. Mo Qianchen said lightly that it is not only the enemy who is dangerous on the battlefield, but also the threat of teammates.

This kind of thing has never stopped.

"It's fine, it's exactly what I want. Shangguan Yi nodded, and then asked the last question: "If it is an alliance, if there is a disagreement on some things, who is it to listen to?"

This is actually asking: who has the initiative?

"Originally, I was recruiting you as an ally, and your intelligence is not under me, and it is normal to hand over the initiative of decision-making to you, but I always feel uneasy, because your heart is too soft, the battlefield is cruel, and what we have to do may be even more cruel, and the people who are sacrificed because of this, directly and indirectly, may add up to tens of thousands, so if there is a disagreement, you can't convince me to listen to me. Mo Qianchen's attitude was very resolute, although he said that he would respect Shangguan Yi's opinion, but he tightly grasped the final decision-making power.

Shangguan Yi was silent for a long time, and finally said, "What you said makes sense, I agree." ”

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with. Mo Qianchen rushed to Guan Yi and stretched out his hand.

Shangguan Yi reluctantly stretched out his right hand and shook it with him, reaching this agreement, and the wheel of the times also turned wildly when the two hands were held together.
